8 Secrets To Conquering The Internet
While some marketers struggle for years to earn enough money to pay the bills, others zoom to the top, their sites exploding with traffic and their in-boxes flooded with order and payment statements. Why? How do these marketers differ from the rest? Are they smarter? Braver? Do they invest more wisely or have more money to invest? Do they know the right people?No. In fact, there's only one real differencde between them and the rest of the internet marketing community. In a word: Attitude.They aren't intimidated by the internet -- they eat it for breakfast. Like ancient conquerors, they plunge into t

Even as ETFs have gone mainstream, the innovations continue. Here is a review of some new creative ETFs that have been launched or will shortly hit the market.

First Trust Advisors now has eight ETFs available to investors. The First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted ETF (QQEWI) weights each of the 100 non-financial companies in the index equally and then rebalances on a quarterly basis. This avoids the problem in the market-cap weighted QQQQ where the ten largest companies in the index account for 40% of the total value. Another good option that does not get the attention it deserves is the Fidelity ETF, (ONEQ), which tracks the NASDAQ composite index of 3,000 companies. It too is market cap weighted but has somewhat better balance since the top ten holdings represent 29% of the basket’s value.

The First Trust IPOX-100 ETF (FPX) is a basket that includes the 100 largest, most liquid initial public offerings (“IPOs”) in the U.S. IPOX Composite Index. No one IPO can account for more that 10% of the ETF and the index it tracks measures the average performance of U.S. IPOs during the first 1,000 trading days.

Pro Fund Advisors is launching this week its first eight ETFs that allow investors to go long and short popular indexes in a cost effective manner. The ETFs will track the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the S&P Midcap 400.

The ETFs that will target 200% of the value of the underlying indexes are Nasdaq 100 (QLD), S&P 500 (SSO), DJIA (DDM) and S&P Midcap 400 (MVV).

The Pro Fund ETFs that will target 100% of the inverse performance of the underlying indexes are the Nasdaq 100 (PSQ), S&P 500 (SH), DJIA (DOG) and S&P Midcap 400 (MYY). The expense ratio for these new ETFs will be 0.95%.

Rydex is launching six additional currency ETFs to build on the popular Euro ETF (FXE) as a hedge on the U.S. dollar. The currency ETFs will benchmark to the spot price versus the $USD and the strategy for each is to return the spot price, plus interest, less the trust expenses. These new products may be available to investors in about a week and will trade under the following tickers: British Pound (FXB), Canadian Dollar (FXC), Mexican Peso (FXM), Australian Dollar (FXA), Swiss Franc

Increase Direct Mail Response Rates (And Revenue) By Segmenting Your List
If you want to increase revenue using direct mail, you have two options: sell more to the customers you have, or find new customers and sell to them. The tricky part is knowing how to do that. I recommend that you start by segmenting your house list. Dividing your customers into groups that share a common interest helps you understand your customers better. Let me illustrate. Assume you are a business that manufactures and markets a line of polo and golf shirts that businesses issue to their staff as casual uniforms. You examine your house list to find out who buys what, and when and how. Y

Another good option that does not get the attention it deserves is the Fidelity ETF, (ONEQ), which tracks the NASDAQ composite index of 3,000 companies. It too is market cap weighted but has somewhat better balance since the top ten holdings represent 29% of the basket’s value.

The ETFs that will target 200% of the value of the underlying indexes are Nasdaq 100 (QLD), S&P 500 (SSO), DJIA (DDM) and S&P Midcap 400 (MVV).

The Internet may have started as the fervent brainchild of DARPA, the US defence agency - but it quickly evolved into a network of computers at the service of a community. Academics around the world used it to communicate, compare results, compute, interact and flame each other. The ethos of the community as content-creator, source of information, fount of emotional sustenance, peer group, and social substitute is well embedded in the very fabric of the Net. Millions of members in free, advertising or subscription financed, mega-sites such as Geocities, AOL, Yahoo and Tripod generate more bits and bytes than the rest of

Viral Marketing At Its Best
You may have heard of this before and for those that haven’t, it’s where you give away something for free that someone can also give away for free. If successful, your piece of information can spread like a virus, enticing thousands to buy from you.So what’s the secret. You need to release something valuable that can compare to another course selling for at least $100, for free. It really has to be exceptional for people to pass it on to their friends. Quality not quantity, the report needs to be excellent and if it’s long, that’s a bonus. Ellaborate as much as you can. It’s the awesome principle, “you have to g

Are You Thinking of Republishing RSS Feeds?
There is lively debate about the republishing of RSS feeds on other sites. The argument surrounds the use of RSS feeds from the feed publisher being used in an unfair manner. This includes republishing the entire articles and not displaying sufficient credit to the original source. Before we go into the details you may want to brush up on your understanding of RSS. This will help you fully appreciate and fully understand the issues involved. I am glad this conversation is happening now as it needs to be made clear what fair use of RSS feeds actua

The largest family of ETFs, iShares, is not resting on its laurels but continues to press ahead with new ETFs. Its ten iShares Dow Jones U.S. Subsector ETFs, launched on May 1st, gives investors the ability to slice the sector markets thinly. Some examples are the Broker-Dealer iShare (IAI), the Insurance iShare (IAK), the Oil Equipment & Services iShare (IEO), the Aerospace & Defense iShare (ITA) and the Regional Banks iShare (IAT). All are market cap weighted with an expense ratio of 0.48%. The Regional Banks iShare has a decent dividend yield of 3.21%.

Some of the indexes that these new ETFs track have done quite well over the last three years through March of this year. The Oil Exploration & Production index was up 49%, the Aerospace & Defense index was up 38.3% and the Investment Services index was up 49.7%.

But if you like me prefer equal-weighted ETFs and want sector and industrial ETF exposure, State Street Global Advisors has exactly what you need with this Thursday’s launch of six new ETFs. Based on S&P Total Market Select Industry Indexes, they are (XME) Metals & Mining, (XRE) Retail, (XPH) Pharma, (XES) Oil & Gas Equipment & Services, (XOP) Oil & Gas Exploration & Production, and (KRE) Regional Banks which is a equal-weighted basket of 50 US regional bank stocks.

iShares has also recently introduced its iPath Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Total Return Exchange-Traded Notes. This is a mouthful but essentially this ETF are unsecured debt securities issued by Barclays Bank PLC that are linked to the total returns of the index .

This iShares commodity ETF (DJP) has an expense fee of 0.75% and provides exposure to the following commodity groups: energy 30%, livestock 9%, precious metals 9%, industrial metals 21% and
