<p>That's right, I just recently came from the DubLi Convention in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the global online shopping portal company has unveiled their new DubLi Partner Program.&nbsp; The lowdown is that the Partner Program allows any business to quickly set up it's own private labeled DublLi's online shopping portal.</p>
<p><strong>Make 30% Profit!!!</strong></p>
<p>When your customers and prospects go to the website&nbsp;with your own company logo and name, you make 30% on the credits they buy to make purchases on new, top brand products via DubLi's reverse auction in which the prices go down and not up like eBay. Or when they buy credits to shop from&nbsp;one of the shopping malls on the DubLi site.</p>
<p>&nbsp;The best thing is that you don't have to hold any product or inventory. You sell nothing. All you do is influence your customers to spend their disposable income or money that they would otherwise use to shop online or go to a generic mall.</p>
<p>And even though the economy is struggling in some sectors, people are still shopping. They&nbsp;buying electronics, perfumes, brand name items and more.&nbsp; All that&nbsp;and more is sold via DubLi's online reverse auction system in which prices go down and not up. That's amazing.</p>
<p><strong>Your Own Private Labeled Website for Under $200</strong></p>
<p>That's right $199.99 is all that it costs your company or non profit to get set up with a private labeled website with your company name and logo. Here are the types of companies that can do this: any for profit company, whether it large or a small business; and any nonprofit from a church or religious foundation, to community-based associations, Boys and Girls Clubs, and more.</p>

<p>Her looks alone, frumpy and completely unpopular looking, garnered plenty of dismissive looks from the show's judges and the audience.</p>
<p>However, a star did&nbsp;shine on April 11th. And one Susan Boyle glittered like a billion stars.</p>
<p>The 47-year-old most unlikely hero and most unlikely overnight sensation, stunned the judges, including the host, Simon Cowell, where they all gave her a resounding three "yes's" for her soaring rendition. <br /><br />Her performance, which not only won over the audience, also has made her an overnight Internet sensation where videos of her performance have garnered millions of hits on Youtube and other sites.</p>
<p>On blogs, viewers have posted their emotional&nbsp;comments. I've myself have seen her video more than a dozen times, and each time I cry because her singing touched a part of me as it has millions of people. Check it out here:</p>

</p>
<div>Why am I writing about Susan Boyle? She's has nothing to do with marketing, DubLi or anything else to do with business. What she did was more than what any marketer can do or has ever done, or would dream of doing. &nbsp;In her own way( much like Paul Potts, too), in her own unsophisticated simplicity, she touched millions with her soaring siren voice that hits you right in the heart. You would have to be deaf or have a heart of pure stone not to be moved by her voice and her performance as the crowd rose to its feet in awe and joy.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>
<p>And, in her pixie-like manner with moxie and so much heart, she touched millions with her honesty and her heart. Bravo to Susan Boyle!</p>
<p>Marketers of all stripes need to be humbled by Susan Boyle. Lose the hype and all the glitzy crap of "last-minute" offers and "this is too good to be true" junk and the next bandwagon of niche this and niche that, and play it straight. Play to your customers and prospects hearts with honesty and a straight message.</p>
<p>On first looks Susan Boyle, the lady from Scotland didn't have anything sell or anything that anyone wanted to buy.&nbsp;After the first notes came out of her mouth, and she simply sang out&nbsp;her heart,&nbsp;she touched so many of us. Now,&nbsp;so many want something from Susan Boyle: to hear her sing. To see the likely underdog win.&nbsp; Go Susan! And, thank you.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">It doesn&rsquo;t matter what you are promoting or selling, article marketing is crucial for you to drive traffic to your site. You can be a network marketing maven influencing others to buy, let&rsquo;s say, health products, or you can be an Internet marketer pushing other people&rsquo;s products, article marketing is one of the best method and tactic to generate traffic to your website.<br /><br /></span><strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Drive Your Marketing By Driving Online Traffic&nbsp;<br /></span></strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>We all consume information to make decisions. While your website may be in who-knows-where on some server on the Internet, no one is going to know about your product or what you are trying to promote unless you drive them there. Some ways we can directly drive visitors to a website are the well know Pay Per Click campaigns that are run by Google, Yahoo, Live and other search engines in which your paid ad sends a visitor straight to your site. A necessary part of your strategy, depending on your budget, and yes it can be expensive.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Other ways are by also employing proper Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of your site or capture page so that your site pops up in the first 15 entries or so of a search engine when someone types in a keyword. For instance,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>if you are looking for natural and organic baby products, and my site, <a href="http://www.allnaturalbaby.com/">www.allnaturalbaby.com</a> uses those specific words in the meta tags and headlines and so forth. We&rsquo;ll talk about SEO tactics in another installment.<br /><br /><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Basics of Article Marketing<br /></span></strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Another fabulous way to drive website traffic is through <strong>article marketing</strong>. This needs to be one of your marketing tactics. In short, good article marketing is more about informing than directly selling. People want to be informed. So you do you best at putting together an article on a theme that is related to your marketing objectives and goals. For instance, for my natural products website I have written articles on topics such as eczema treatments and the value of organic products. I didn&rsquo;t directly mention the products I sell because I wanted to inform the reader and provide information that makes me an authority or an informed source.<br /><br /><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;"><strong>Give Them the Facts<br /></strong></span><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">When you write your article you can talk about an issue or topic that your product or service helps to solve or a problem that is out there and ways to solve it. Don&rsquo;t worry about sounding professional, simply be informed. You can indirectly mention your product or your website as a source for people to visit. One thing is ease up on the heavy selling and promotion. It&rsquo;s a turn off. Provide the reader with valid, good information. If you can&rsquo;t write to save your life, then hire a freelance writer to drum up a couple of articles that you can use.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Now, what do you do once you have your article? You submit them to the tons of great outlets on the Internet that live for original content. That&rsquo;s right, these sights exist because people from all walks of life and interest are writing articles on a topic that someone needs information on.<br /></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Check out the the popular e-zines and make sure you look for the index page for a link that says &ldquo;submit article,&rdquo; so that you can have your article distributed for free to tons of readers. E-zines and article directories will also publish your article on their website and provide you with a great link.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">&nbsp;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Don&rsquo;t do it Manually; Submit to Multiple Sites with an Online Article Submitter<br /></span></strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Now you can submit your articles by hand, and there are plenty of sites that are free.
