Internet revenue lessons for the COMMON MAN

Internet revenue lessons for the COMMON MAN

Perhaps you stumbled upon this site by accident? Perhaps a friend recommended it? Whatever the case, you've just discovered the "Internet Marketing Tips Blog for Homemade Gourmet ." I'll attempt to keep this first post brief, but since it is my introduction of things to come, I'd like to at least lay the ground-work so that you, my visitor, will know what you might expect as we blog on down the road together.

First, why did this all start?

Well, after publishing ebooks, writing articles, and training entrepreneurs for 2000 years (those are dog years) , my dog "Herbie" came to me recently in one of those 'dog to man moments'. With his piercing yet lovable eyes, Herbie convinced me that I should devote a little time each week barking (blogging, to use the human translation) about all this weird web stuff that he thinks dominates about 50% of my feeble human brain.

So, if you like this blog you can thank my dog. If you don't, I recommend you adopt your own dog (from a local shelter) and seek internet marketing advice from him :-) Note: cats are pretty good at this stuff too.

So, here we are, and you're now thinking deeply about two things:

1. What might you learn by following Dan's internet marketing tips blog?
2. -and- What exactly dominates the other 50% of Dan Hollings' brain?

I might can help you on the first item, but even I am a bit foggy on what dominates that other 50% on my brain :-) So let's focus on marketing ideas to help you promote Food & Beverage .

In the beginning all this techno-geek stuff was over my head. Yes, that was about 10 years ago. But now after sucking up internet "how-to" like a vacuum cleaner without an off switch for many years, I've learned a few tricks about making money on the web. I'll cut to the chase and offer you practicle strategies that will increase prospects, customers and visitors to your blogs and sites.

Over the years, I have helped website owners, network marketers, bloggers, internet entrepreneurs, affiliates, and even big companies improve their internet strategies. But what I enjoy most is working with ordinary 'folk'.

If you decide to hang with me here, I'll be writing, training, and yapping about anything and everything, as long as it works. It is likely that you are doing some things wrong or inefficiently and if you are like most, you're spending far more money than you should on 'stuff' that has questionable results.

Even though this particular blog will focus on strategies for Homemade Gourmet and how to market Food & Beverage , I may from time-to-time give examples from other industries or areas to demonstrate a strategy or idea. It's your job to apply the concepts to YOUR particular site, blog, product or service.

Below are a few of the topics I'll cover in the future:

• Opt-in mail list ideas
• The how and why of newsletters
• How to be a great blogger
• Content creation ideas
• Profiting from Adsense or Contextual ads
• Pay-per-click search campaigns
• Tags (the keywords of blogs and...)
• Networking through "social systems"
• Generating internet leads
• Site design (with an eye for revenue)
• Landing or destination pages
• Syndication and feeds
• Creating your own Press Releases
• and Earning revenue from your web strategies

In addition, I've written a few 'how-to' articles specifically to help get your internet marketing strategy on-track. You might find these internet marketing articles for Homemade Gourmet interesting or helpful.

Finally, you may be asking WHY I decided to do a blog specifically for Homemade Gourmet ? The truth is, I run separate blogs for many types of of entrepreneurs. This is only one of my blogs!

Rest assured I am not a recruiter, I'm not active in any 'company', and I do not sell or share names on any of my opt-in lists. I earn my income ONLY by helping others make money on the internet. I am an internet marketing consultant and I've developed many revenue generating or traffic generating internet systems. Occasionally I offer classes, sometimes I offer eBooks, and I have web systems that many subscribers use to improve their traffic, content and results online. That's the deal.

If you like what you're reading here I suggest you get the RSS or XML feed (look for the little orange feed buttons).

That's it for now, see you again soon (bring a note pad next time :-)
