Writing for the Internet is very different, then writing a research or term paper. You cater to a specific market; people who do not have the time to spend reading a 1500 word article and find only one or two helpful tips. Information that will be easy to understand and people will be able to relate with.
Good English, or fancy technical writing that people would have to consult a dictionary just to grasp your thoughts, are of no help to a person who is marketing on the Internet. You have to create functional articles that will be easy to understand and people will be able to relate with.
People are looking for how to, where to find information that will be helpful in their everyday marketing. They want to find it on one spot if possible and not spend hours looking for it.
Have a list of your contents, keep your writing to short paragraphs intended for easy reading, this will make it helpful for those who don't really have the time and are just scanning for information that is helpful.
Such knowledge should be useful to them and will make them interested in reading your future articles as well as your other products and services.
The odd good joke in the middle of your article helps to break the steady reading of information, and gives the person a chance to have a good laugh too.
START MARKETING ON INTERNET
Webmasters who are now on the web work overtime, researching, and
building trust, which enables them to sell on the Internet.
They know success does not come overnight. They have to work hard, be persistent, teachable, research. They have to make the effort and a little bit of cash helps.
If you intend on making a living on the Internet start out part time. The failing rate on the Internet is over 94 percent, mostly because they buy into the MLM Marketer that promises all you have to do is join as a paid member.
E-BAY
You should also consider selling via eBay. Thousands of persons are making a good living today selling on eBay. They give you a lot of support with free information, tools and resources. Really a great way to start on the Internet part-time, as you have control on the hours you want to spend to make it work.
What I like about eBay is you can start by selling articles, products you have around your home, which you no longer have use for. The products you sell do not have to be new, but should be in good condition.
Protect yourself from spoof (fake) emails and Web sites. Take the Spoof Tutorial to learn about eBay Toolbar with Account Guard, which warns you when you are on a known spoof site.

HIGHJACKERS
Have you had your homepage and all your settings changed?
You can waste a lot of time trying to figure out what has gone wrong, even having to make a service call. It can be a headache.
Hijacking may not be as scary as a virus, but it still has its downfalls. If you ever get caught in a hijack, there are some pretty simple ways to fix them.
To fix the search hijack, open Internet Explorer and go to Tools, Options, Programs tab. You will see listing of some of your Internet services. In the bottom left hand corner, there is a button that says "Reset Web Settings." Click that and the registry keys will be renewed. Click OK when you're finished.

Don't be Scared by 'Scareware'
Most of the pop-ups telling you your computer is infected are scams. They're among the fastest-growing types of Internet fraud.
You have seen them, pop-up messages telling you your computer is infected with a virus. They will inform you that your computer is infected. Don't fall for this "Scamware" fraud. If you do try to buy this program, it will either do nothing, or it could compromise your computer by installing malicious software onto your system. Further in some instances, you don't even have to click on the pop-up box…the software downloads automatically.
Don't click on any of the pop-ups and if they download automatically, do not install and run your own virus security check.
They'll also masquerade as legitimate Internet security companies and buy ads on other websites—called "malvertising"—but when consumers click on the ads to purchase the products, they are redirected to websites controlled by the bad guys.
Help On Vacation Scam
Individuals' e-mail/or social networking accounts being compromised and used to swindle consumers out of thousands of dollars. Portraying to be the victim, the hacker uses the victim's account to send a notice to their contacts. The notice claims the victim is in immediate need of money due to being robbed of their credit cards, passport, money, and cell phone; leaving them stranded in Vancouver or some other location.
Some claim they only have a few days to pay their hotel bill and promise to reimburse upon their return home. A sense of urgency to help their friend/contact may cause the recipient to fail to validate the claim, increasing the likelihood of them falling for this scam.
If you receive a similar notice and are not sure it is a scam, you should always verify the information before sending any money.
If you have been a victim of this type of scam or any other Cyber crime, you can report it to the IC3 website at: www.IC3.gov.
I have to admit I fell for a similar scam, only it happen at my house. I answered the door and found a nice looking well dressed young man, who explained he was embarrassed, but found himself in a tight bind. He had been visiting one of his relatives who lived on the same street as me. He left their house and his car broke down a few blocks away. He walked back to his relative's house but they had gone out. He had to go to the airport to pick up a sister, but was short $35.00 for a used battery.
Could I please lend him the $35.00 for the battery, and after he picked up his sister he would either bring the money back that evening or get his uncle who lives on my block to bring the cash over. You guessed right. He didn't bring the money back, and he didn't have an uncle who lived on my street. His scam was he would find out the name of one of your neighbours, make sure they were not home, and then went door to door with his scam.
LIGHTSIDE
During World War 2, a soldier arrived at the city but found all hotel rooms taken. He begged the desk clerk for anything. The hotel clerk said he had a double, there was a navy guy in it, but persons in rooms next to him said he snored so loud it was hard to sleep.
The soldier agreed to take it. When the soldier came down for breakfasts the manager asked, "How did you sleep"? "Great" replied the soldier. "No problem with the other guy snoring all night"? Asked the manger.
"No I shut him up in no time," replied the soldier. "How did you manage that?" asked the manager.
"Well he was in bed snoring away when I walked into the room, so I gave him a kiss on the check" explained the soldier. "Then I whispered in his ear 'goodnight beautiful', and he sat up all night watching me."
Multilevel Marketing Plans/ Pyramids
Consumers say that they've bought into plans and programs, but their customers are other distributors, not the general public. Some multi-level marketing programs are actually illegal pyramid schemes. When products or services are sold only to distributors like you, there's no way to make money.
Consumers can protect themselves by:
If paying online use a service like PayPal. The minute any charge is recorded on your account you will get a notice from PayPal. Paying with a credit card, bank, it may take up to a month for you to get your statement which gives the con time to clean out your account, use up your credit card limit.
Use strong passwords for all financial accounts and change them regularly. Obtain and review your annual credit report for fraudulent activity.

MARKETING TIPS
"Let the buyer beware" is still a fact of life for consumers,
marketers are not given free rein to coerce, cajole buyers into
sales that may not be in the best interests of those buyers. Rules and regulations exist that limit how marketers can market.
Sales are a great way to entice buyers, but make sure your sales
are legitimate sales. Introductory offers is also a very forceful sales word. But to use the word the product is indeed new and offer should not be extended longer then six months.
All ads are subject to change and all offers may end at anytime. I disclaim any responsibility and/or all liability arising out of, or relating to, any item listed in Activity Internet Marketing Report and/or Websites.
I adhere to the policies, guidelines and laws of the Federal Trade Commission.
