You will find many great tools on the Internet to measure and monitor various elements of your web biz. Have you used the SEOCentro Keyword Rank Checker yet? You will get some very interesting results.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

SEOCentro has numerous free web marketing resources you can use to measure, monitor or otherwise analyze the performance of your website and your web biz.

One of the resources is the Keyword Rank Checker. This is an excellent tool to check your search engine position ranking in the major search engines for any keyword. This tool also produces an advanced report that includes related keywords.

The Keyword Rank Checker is easy to use and the results are produced very quickly. All you do is key in the keyword or keyword phrase you want to check, plus the domain (www.StarrBizz.com for example), a competitor's domain if you want (it is optional), and a verification or access code.

I entered one of my top keyword phrases - web biz opportunities - and was very pleased with the (expected) results! The phrase ranked #1 in Google, #1 in Yahoo! and ...what? Only #5 in Bing?

Actually, when I looked at the Bing-specific report, while it did show one of my web biz blog posts in the fifth position, I was happy to discover that the #1 ranking website turned out to be (drum roll) www.StarrBizz.com! I didn't check, yet, to see why that didn't show up in the condensed report, but I'm not complaining.

The report also lists a series of related keywords and when you click on any of them, it brings up a new Keyword Rank report showing where your website sits with the selected keyword. Once again, it is very quick, very informative ... and extremely interesting.

Give it a try. It's free. It's easy to use and the Keyword Rank Checker is just one of many free resources available on the site to measure and analyze the performance of your website and your web biz.

Despite industry efforts to crack down on the overwhelming glut of unsolicited email, many perpetrators still exist. Wise consumers are learning to block or ignore unwanted mail, but many still get taken in by bogus offers and trickery. Fortunately, respectable web biz marketers use permission-based email marketing.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

There has been some concern in recent years that email marketing has become unreliable, that technology and enlightened consumers have rendered ineffective the process of marketing by email.

The good news is you can still market by email if you approach the process with respect for your target market. The best way to do this is through permission-based email marketing.

In this day and age, getting permission from your prospects before ever sending them a single piece of mail is vital. Experienced marketers know this and marketing newbies would do well to learn this lesson and adopt it quickly.

Getting permission simply means designing your advertising copy and your opt-in forms to attract the prospects who will be the most interested in your line of products, your niche or the theme of your online business, then giving them a good reason to give you their name and email address. Do this effectively and they will willingly sign-up or opt-in to your newsletter, e-course or whatever it is you are offering.

Once they are signed up, it is important to honour the trust they have put in you as a preferred supplier of the promised information or services. Do not overwhelm them with too-frequent mailings, and make certain that you provide a fair degree of unconditional value in your mailings that is equal to or greater than the amount of advertising or promotional material that you send. In other words, don't just send ads; send as much or more informative and useful material that is not sales-oriented or promotional in nature.

The sign-up process I use for my Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter is often called the "confirmed opt-in" process. After the prospect signs up using any of my opt-in forms, they receive an email message that requires them to "confirm" their interest by responding to the email. All they have to do is click the confirmation link and it is done. A browser window opens with a message confirming that their opt-in is complete and they will begin receiving my newsletter.

Some marketers have suggested that email marketing is in jeopardy, and while it is true that nobody likes junk mail or receiving too much ad mail, in my opinion, email marketing is still a viable choice for any respectable online marketer.

In fact, permission-based email marketing can be a highly effective method of reaching targeted prospects and selling web biz products and services.

There are so many online tools and resources you can use to help build your home based business. While building your business, don't ignore the other important aspect of marketing: tracking your results. Remember, when you work from home, you need web biz tracking tools.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

You can find a tool or a resource for pretty much anything on the Internet. Once you get a little experience with your Internet based home business, you will begin to recognize which resources are beneficial and where to find them.

Most of the online marketing tools that I use have been the result of recommendations by marketing friends and associates. Here are a few that I use for tracking various aspects of my web biz. Each of them reveals some very interesting details that can help you fine tune and further improve your Internet business. These ones are free.

Free Web Biz Tracking Tools

* StatCounter.com: This was the first tracking resource I installed on my website. Recommended by my marketing mentors, StatCounter provides real-time detailed web statistics. You will be able to analyze and monitor all the visitors to your website. Discover your popular pages, entry pages, exit pages, where visitors came from, keyword analysis, visitor lengths and much more.

* Google AdSense: When you install Google AdSense on your web biz content pages, targeted Google ads will be displayed and you will earn revenue from valid clicks or impressions. When you log in to your AdSense account, you can get a variety of insightful reports including the number of AdSense page impressions, clicks, earnings and more. AdSense also gives you access to a variety of other resources and site diagnostic tools.

* Google Analytics: Similar to StatCounter, Google Analytics gives you "rich insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness." Examine visitor statistics, pageviews, pages per visit, bounce rate, average time on site and more.

* Google Webmaster Tools: This is the newest work from home web biz tracking tool I have installed on my website. Referred to me by Evan Carmichael of EvanCarmichael.com, the primary aim of Google Webmaster Tools is to improve your site's visibility in Google search results. This resource provides detailed reports that give you Google's view of your site and allows you to diagnose problems. You will also get comprehensive details about internal and external links to your site, and you can find out which search queries drive traffic to your site - see exactly how users arrive there.

I am pleased that Evan encouraged me to install Google Webmaster Tools. The internal and external links reports alone are eye-opening and extremely beneficial to know about.

As mentioned earlier, there are many online resources available to help you to both build your home based web biz and track the activity on your web pages. With a little experience and research, you will discover a wide variety of helpful tools.

I posted this list here today because I know that when you work from home, you need web biz tracking tools and I personally use these resources and consider them to be beneficial.

A wise marketer will consider all options when planning and applying marketing techniques. Following up on yesterday's blog post, here are a few more upsell strategies for the home based Internet business.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

As mentioned in the previous web biz blog post, "upselling" is the process of attracting a potential customer with one offer, then suggesting an alternative item that is of better quality or has more features.

Typically, the alternative item costs more and produces a higher profit for the seller. However, both choices remain available and the customer is free to choose one or the other.

Below, you will find a few more suggested upsell strategies, these also taken from my Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter:

1. Time Upsell: If the product or service you are selling is by subscription, you could offer a discounted price if they subscribe for two years instead of one.

2. Quantity Upsell: This is similar to the Discount Upsell mentioned yesterday, however with the Quantity Upsell you increase the discount by how many products they order. For example, if they order three it's a 10% discount, if they order five it's a 15% discount.

3. Extra Upsell: Does your product have things you could charge extra for? Like custom designs, imprinting, gift wrapping? Offer the extras for a special price available only at the time they are purchasing the main item.

4. Extended Upsell: Some products come with a warranty. If your product comes with a warranty, ask your prospects if they would like to extend it for another year for a specified additional cost.

5. Affiliate Upsell: This is a common one within home based Internet business circles. When you're selling a product you could offer someone else's product as an upsell. The product upsell should be similar to the first item, but it should offer better quality or additional features and should provide you with an affiliate commission that is greater than the profit you would earn on the first item.

If you keep your eyes open and watch what other online marketers are doing, you can always find more upsell strategies for the home based Internet business. Use these ideas to increase your web biz profits at the point of sale.

Some Internet Marketers are naturals when it comes to writing advertising copy. The rest of us have to work at it! Here are a few home based business ad copy ideas that might help.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

It is always a good idea to consider alternative ways to write your advertising copy and present your offers. We all know that different people respond to different messages in different ways, so it stands to reason to test different ideas.

Here are some taken from my free home based business tips newsletter. I realize that not all ideas are suitable for all situations. Use what you can, modify them however you want or simply draw inspiration from them to come up with your own unique twists and ideas.

1. Benefit Intensifiers: Create a benefit intensifier for each item in your list of ad copy benefits.
For example, The Benefit: Save More Time. The Benefit Intensifier: Never Seen Before.
Add some additional quality to each benefit to further enhance its appeal.

2. Ask Questions: Whether it is in your ad copy or on your website, when you ask your prospects and visitors questions that induce thoughts, feelings, memories and emotions, it helps influence them to make the buying decision. The more they associate their needs and interests with the product, the more likely they are to buy it.

3. Use Image and the Power of Suggestion: Most people care about what other people think of them. You can use this as leverage to get them to warm up to your product. Tell your prospects the positive things their friends or family will probably think when they buy your product.

4. Humor: When used appropriately and respectfully, humor in your home business ad copy could provide the little extra motivation that is sometimes needed to close the sale. Light humor often relaxes people and when they are in a good mood they are more receptive to your sales suggestions.

These home based business ad copy ideas are fairly basic, but they are worth considering and applying. A good rule of thumb in advertising is to involve and engage your prospects however and wherever you can.

Suggestive selling is nothing new, but some home based Internet business marketers may not know how to increase website traffic with the power of suggestion.

© GT Bulmer
Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Many years ago... many, many years ago... I got my start in the business world as a management trainee in the restaurant business. Yes, I started as a dishwasher in high school, then worked my way into a cooking position and eventually into management.

I learned many valuable lessons in those formative years: customer service, quality control, resource management, staff relations, not to mention scheduling, goal setting, focus, determination, perseverance...

One element of the restaurant business that really stood out to me was the emphasis my trainers and mentors placed on Suggestive Selling: customers respond well to the power of suggestion. And this principle applies to every industry.

In the restaurant business, here is the best example of suggestive selling and the power of suggestion that I can think of. See if you recognize it:

The server asks, "Would you like fries with that?" or "Would you like that supersized?"

That's it. The server or seller (in any industry) simply plants the seed of suggestion into the mind of the customer and leaves it there to germinate. In many cases, the customer responds favourably.

Sales trainers through the ages tell us that if you don't ask for the sale, you may not get the sale. So ask.

The other thing is, the customer can't make a decision if he or she doesn't know what the options are. It stands to reason, then, that in order to do their job effectively the seller or server has to "suggest" the options to help the customer make a decision.

Years ago, in the restaurant business, we trained our servers to "suggestive sell" dessert at the end of the meal. They didn't just ask if the customer wanted dessert. They actually presented each and every customer with a tray of various types of desserts and asked which one they wanted. The customer clearly knew that the cost of the dessert was extra. Even so, presented with the options, the majority of the customers couldn't resist taking one. That is the power of suggestion.

How to Increase Website Traffic

Now, let's bring this concept into the 21st Century; the present day, as it relates to Internet Marketing and how to increase website traffic with the power of suggestion.

Here are several "suggestive" phrases that you can post on your website that will help increase your web traffic. This info is taken from the StarrBizz.com Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter available free to subscribers. It's not new information; you may have seen some of it elsewhere on the Internet:

1. "Bookmark This Website Now": Actually tell your website visitors to bookmark your site. Their bookmark will act as a reminder to return. And if you also suggest a reason to bookmark and return, such as "new content added regularly," this will strengthen the power of the suggestion.

2. "Subscribe to Our Free Ezine": Point your visitors to your sign-up link and tell them to sign up. Not only will this help you build your list, but each time they read an edition they will be reminded to return to your website.

3. "Sign Our Guestbook": Ask visitors to sign your guestbook. The power of suggestion will produce more responses than just placing a guestbook link on your homepage. The feedback they leave will help you improve your site to attract more visitors. Here is a source to get a free guestbook for your website: Bravenet, Free Guestbook

4. "Use Our Free Content": Consider the exposure you can get by letting other marketers post your articles on their sites or in their ezines. Be sure to ask them to include your resource box with any content they use.

5. "Refer Our Website to a Friend": Ask your visitors to refer your website to others. They may know someone who would benefit from visiting your site.

6. "Fill Out Our Online Survey": Again, don't just post the survey link, ASK your visitors to fill it out. Many people see the survey and think it's a good idea, but some need that extra prompting to actually do it. Surveys can be an excellent way to get valuable feedback to help you improve your site.

Suggestive selling can be powerfully effective in both generating sales and in motivating visitors to do something you would like them to do, such as the things listed above and more.

Providing a list of links to these features on your website is one thing. Taking it to the next level by asking or telling your visitors what to do is much more effective because it plants the seed of action in their mind.

Now that you have more insight into how to increase website traffic with the power of suggestion, take some action. Select a couple of the suggestions from the list and apply them on YOUR website! Oh, and one more thing: would you like fries with that?

MailerMailer.com has just released its ninth bi-annual Email Marketing Metrics Report highlighting the latest trends in email marketing. Included: The Top 10 words used in email subject lines.

© GT Bulmer
Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

MailerMailer is a do-it-yourself email list management provider located in Rockville, D.C.

In addition to revealing the Top 10 most popular terms used in email subject lines, MailerMailer's bi-annual Email Marketing Metrics Report "also provides instructional material for designing mobile-friendly emails (because) with more people viewing email on Blackberrys, iPhones and other hand-held devices, there is an increasing need for marketers to pay attention to (that) segment of their target audience."

Available to the public, the 38-page report summarizes the data of over 300 million messages sent in the second half of 2008. Included in the report are charts, tips and data providing businesses and marketers with "information to help them adjust their email marketing strategy to cater to their audience's changing needs."

The reason I am highlighting this report in my Web Bizz Blog is because first, I believe the information is highly relative to my readers who are primarily home based web biz and Internet marketers. Second, because the Top 10 list of words used caught my eye and quite frankly, I am surprised at some of them.

However, since the report covers recent performance data from 21 different industries, I will have to accept the statistical results.

You can click the link to download a copy of the report yourself, but here are the Top 10 words used in email subject lines along with the MailerMailer word cloud depicting their popularity relative to a number of other close contenders:

1. news
2. party
3. newsletter
4. free
5. night
6. sale
7. com
8. update
9. holiday
10. week



(NOTE: The above graphic is active in real time, meaning that it is linked to the MailerMailer system and MailerMailer will update the popularity of the words regularily. After the graphic is posted here on July 7, 2009, the words in the cloud may not always correspond with the words listed above the graphic.)

The report is well worth looking into. Among other things, it notes that emails are being opened sooner, email deliverability keeps increasing, religious/spiritual emails get the highest open and click rates compared to other industries, and more.

Report: Email Marketing Metrics Report

Press Release: MailerMailer.com Press Release

As marketers, we know how quickly things change and how important it is to keep up with the times. I present to you the Email Marketing Metrics Report from MailerMailer along with the Top 10 words used in email subject lines because together, they can give you a true advantage over your less-informed competition.

Long URLs can be a pain to work with. Here are two URL shorteners that I recommend.

© GT Bulmer
Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I don't know about you, but personally I think long URLs look ugly and unprofessional and sometimes they just cause problems because of their length.

There may be circumstances where long URLs are not so obvious and are therefore acceptable. But in places where your customers, prospects or readers do see the URL, a short URL takes up less space and in my opinion, looks much nicer.

There are many URL shorteners on the market. Here are two that I recommend:

1) Turn your long URL into a nuURL with just one click!

Just as the headline suggests, nuURL is quick and easy and best of all, it's free! If you would also like to track your hits, create custom links and add descriptions, simply register at the nuURL site and you will be able to do those things.

Now, suppose I wanted to tell you about a news story or an informative article on a website. The URL to the page could be quite long. For example, the one below is 87 characters. Some links are even longer.

http://www.thinkgreen4life.com/environmental/environmental-changes-can-affect-everyone/

Using nuURL, I shortenened this 87-character URL down to just 21 characters:

http://nuurl.us/8495e

Visit nuURL right now - nuURL - and try it. Bookmark the page into your "favourites" so you can find it easily when you need it.

2) Make long URLs usable! Create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings.

TinyURL.com will shorten your URL quickly, easily and without any cost. Use the random URL created by TinyURL or create a custom URL of your own choosing.

Using TinyURL, I turned this long URL:

http://www.thinkgreen4life.com/environmental/environmental-changes-can-affect-everyone/

...into this:

http://tinyurl.com/dxt5ka

It can be very handy to shorten a long URL; on the Social Networking site, Twitter, for example. On Twitter, you only have 140 characters to work with. You don't want to use them all up with a long URL. It's true, Twitter will automatically shorten your long URLs, but only after you enter the long URL and use up all your characters.

Use one of the URL shorteners I have recommended FIRST, then paste the shortened URL into Twitter and you will have plenty of room to post other text.

URL shorteners can help make your posts look much more appealing and professional, whether you post on Twitter, in emails, blogs articles or wherever. Check out nuURL and TinyURL today!

Here's a FREE Joint Venture Secrets eBook for Web Bizz Blog readers: NO sign-ups, NO downloads - just click the link and it's yours to read!

© GT Bulmer
Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

If you haven't already read this informative eBook revealing insider joint venture secrets, here's your chance.

Joint Venture MOJO is the transcript of an insightful audio interview with recognized marketing leader and joint venture expert Willie Crawford.

Interviewer Jack Bastide, another recognized Internet Marketer, successfully gets inside the mind of Willie who has been a joint venture broker since 2002.

Willie explains, "A joint venture is basically just working with another marketer or business owner to leverage your assets."

The key word here is "leverage." Willie notes that one person can't do everything, so they leverage their effort and abilities by teaming up with another person.

Willie gives the example of an Internet Marketer who may not yet have a huge list, or a lot of website traffic, or a recognized brand. This marketer may have a great product or service and just needs help getting the word out.

Throughout the Joint Venture MOJO interview, Jack asks Willie a series of questions delving into Willie's background as a joint venture specialist; his methods, process, recommendations and even the price tag to contract his joint venture services.

And now, you can get all of this insider information absolutely free in the eBook, Joint Venture MOJO, simply by clicking on the link and reading it! There is NO sign-up, NO download - nothing but click and read. Enjoy.

The Twitter social network is growing by leaps and bounds. Some are saying it is becoming more popular than some of the leading social sites. If you are not a member of Twitter already, you'd better sign up and get started today: you don't know what you are missing!

When you do become a member, be sure to follow me on Twitter:

However, be forewarned - Twitter is addictive! I find that some days I literally have to drag myself away to focus on other tasks. And by the sounds of it, I'm not the only one with the "Twitter affliction." ;o)

Because of the growing popularity of Twitter, I decided it would be a good idea to offer my Web Bizz Blog readers and StarrBizz.com Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter subscribers a helpful - and FREE - eBook highlighting some very good Twitter traffic ideas.

The primary focus of Twitter Traffic Magic is to show you how to use Twitter to boost your blog traffic.

Traffic Magic explains what Twitter is, how it is changing the way people communicate online and why it should be an indispensable part of your web biz marketing plan.

The eBook lists and explains four ways that Twitter can jumpstart your blog traffic:

- Getting traffic to your blog with a simple post

- Connecting with your readers in a much more personal way

- Building and enhancing your "brand"

- Research: Both marketing research and research for further blog post ideas

The eBook continues with instructions and tips on setting up your Twitter account, getting started, how to post for success, what types of information to post to attract Twitter followers and blog readers, and how to create a Twitter presence for maximum effectiveness.

Twitter Traffic Magic closes with some valuable insights into proper Twitter etiquette - so very important!

I am making Twitter Traffic Magic available as a subscriber bonus via my StarrBizz.com Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter. All you need to do is sign up for the newsletter using any of the opt-in forms you find anywhere on my StarrBizz.com website and blog pages.

Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

My SEO mentor, Suzanne Morrison, has provided me with a variety of guides, reports and resources to help give my StarrBizz.com website a higher search engine rank. Various pages on my site appear regularly on the first page of the search engine results pages (SERPs) for several of my chosen keyword phrases.

One of the resources Suzanne has given to me (and to other of her SEO students) is the report, 10 Free SEO Tools. I have Suzanne's authorization to pass this report along to my Web Bizz Blog readers and other contacts and customers FREE of charge.

The 10 Free SEO Tools report explains that "Search Engine Optimization is the process of optimizing your website with the goal of increasing your search engine ranking and ultimately your traffic and sales." Effective SEO involves keyword research, strategic placement of the keywords, and a focused backlink strategy.

Within the pages of 10 Free SEO Tools you will find web links to the SEO resources that Suzanne recommends, along with thorough explanations of the value and application of each resource. The report includes screen shots and other graphics to illustrate the use of the tools.

The 10 free tools outlined in the report include:

- Adwords Keyword Tool

- Keyword Suggestion Tool

- Sitemap Generation Tool

- Social Marker Bookmarking Tool

- Link Popularity Checker Tool

- Keyword Rank Checker Tool

- Website Grader

- Google Webmaster Tools

- Statcounter

- Google Analytics

If you do some research, you will be able to find all or most of these tools on your own. However, there are two particular advantages to accessing Suzanne's report:

First, it presents all 10 free tools in one handy spot.

Second, as mentioned, Suzanne provides explanations, examples and step-by-step instructions for each of the recommended SEO tools.

To get the report, simply click on any of the corresponding links in this web biz blog post. There are no gimmicks, sign-ups or anything else. Just click on a link and the report will open.

10 Free SEO Tools is free and it is yours to use to help YOU achieve a higher search engine rank just as I am doing with StarrBizz.com ... all thanks to Suzanne Morrison and her excellent SEO guides, reports and recommended resources.

My friends and Web Bizz Blog readers, here is an invitation to come and join me in the Conquer Your Niche online business and marketing forum to help promote your web biz opportunities.

http://www.StarrBizz.com

Online business and marketing forums are a great web biz resource for branding your business and drawing traffic to your websites and home based Internet Marketing ideas and opportunities.

I spend a lot of time in various online forums for the information, insight, inspiration and friendship. And it helps to attract attention to my online business, too!

The Conquer Your Niche (CYN) forum is one of my favourites, not just for the informative value it offers and the benefits of business branding, but also because CYN rewards you for reading and posting.

When you read or post comments in the forum topic threads, you earn credits which you can instantly use to display text ads to fellow CYN members. The more you read and post, the more credits you earn and the more often other members get to see your ads. It's that simple.

==> And here is the BEST part: it is FREE to join the Conquer Your Niche forum!

You can sign up right now and start earning advertising credits within minutes of logging in. Follow the directions to set up your text ads, and also within minutes, other members can be viewing your ads.

Once you are a CYN member, be sure to set up your forum signature first thing because that way, every post you make in the topic threads will also advertise your web biz opportunities. Conquer Your Niche is such an excellent free web biz resource!

==> Here is a tip for you: if you want to earn FIVE TIMES the value in ad credits for the same amount of reading and posting, when you are going through the sign-up process, watch for the one-time offer showing you how to qualify.

But whether you want to upgrade to premium status or not, CYN is one of the best online business and marketing forums around; you will be informed and inspired by other experienced marketers.

Come, join me and my CYN friends. Share your web biz ideas and experiences and get some great added exposure for your web biz opportunities and products.

Here is a free web biz marketing success tool you can use to hide your email address from those pesky spam harvestor robots!

© GT Bulmer
http://www.StarrBizz.com

One web biz marketing success tip I often here from home based Internet business friends and associates is, "Hide your email address from the email harvesting spambots!"

When you post your email address (or any text) on a website with HREF HTML coding, search engines AND spambots can read it. The spambots collect it and add it to a database, later to be mass emailed with unwanted spam.

Until now, I thought the way to protect my email from those spambots was simply to remove it from my web pages. But how do visitors contact you if you do that?

==> Here is how. It's a free web biz text tool that converts text to a PNG image file:

* Text to Image Converter

There are a variety of applications and uses you can put this neat little tool to, but today I'm just highlighting the concern about email addresses and email harvesting spambots.

You will use the tool to quickly and easily create a simple image. You will then save it to your computer, upload it to your server and use it on your website, blog page or wherever.

I was pointed to this cool web biz marketing resource by Adrian Jock from the Ezine Advertising Info Newsletter published by the AdsMarket Ezine Advertising Network.

The AdsMarket Ezine Advertising Network offers a variety of services, including an informative Ezine Forum - check it out.

Web Biz Text Tool Samples

Here are a couple of samples I created in just minutes using the Text to Image Converter tool:

Example 1:



Example 2:



If you want to fool the bots and hide your email address, the Text to Image Converter tool highlighted here will help you do it. Free tools for web biz marketing success may not always offer all of the bells and whistles, but for simple tasks, they can still get the job done.

Okay, I HAVE to tell you about this cool site to create FREE logos, banners and buttons for your home based web biz!

© GT Bulmer
http://www.StarrBizz.com

Everybody knows that if you need some kind of tool or resource for your web biz, you can find it FREE somewhere on the Internet. But the challenge for most home based Internet business marketers is ... finding it.

Today, I'm going to tell you about a cool tool: it is a free graphics generator you can use for web pages or anywhere else you need an impressive logo without a lot of design work. This cool tool is available from CoolText.com.

I learned about CoolText.com through membership in the PIPS Power Group. PIPS stands for Plug-In Profit Site, an affiliate marketing program, and the PIPS Power Group is an online organization where members receive personalized guidance from six experienced and successful PIPS marketers.

In addition to expert guidance, training and mentorship for your home based web biz, the PIPS Power Group also provides some great marketing materials plus links to many other resources, like the free graphics generator from CoolText.com.

The CoolText.com graphics generator gives you more than 30 pre-designed template logos to choose from, plus a selection of button designs. Once selected, you key in your text and you can even customize the text style and colour and the background colour. And the best thing is, it takes only a minute to do it! It's easy and it's free.

Once your logo, banner or button is created, you download it to your computer, then upload it to your WEBePanel (or C-Panel or whatever YOUR domain host calls it) and it's ready to be used just like any other banner or graphic you use on your site, in your blog or wherever.

==> Here are a couple of examples I created and uploaded to my WEBePanel in minutes:


* Active Banner Sample #1, StarrBizz.com:




* Active Banner Sample #2, PIPS Power Group:



* Active Banner Sample #3, RFS:




Check out the CoolText.com graphics generator for yourself. It's quick, it's easy, it's FREE and it might be just the thing you need to add a touch of uniqueness to your web biz or your home based Internet ideas and opportunities.
