This is only a small example of the ideas I am going to share in my super hot limited release of my first interactive ebook. I say limited not to give you some BS scarcity ploy but it makes no sense to make it available all year long when it is only for Spring. Plus this is to give anyone that purchases it this week a HEAD START on your competition for Spring. I call it interactive because there will also be videos, PDF downloads, mindmaps, and even charts.

The purpose of 101 Fresh Online Business Ideas for Spring 2010 is to help you get a cutting edge fresh start (or restart) on your competition. Through this book I am going to help you do (3) specific things.
- Generate more targeted traffic
- Develop your product line
- Increase your email signups
These are not just ideas but examples and action plans. See when I was in corporate America I had to not only come up with ideas but show how they would work and give detailed examples. Anyone in corporate America knows that your butt is on the line so the ideas better be good and work.
The same thing applies to ME my butt is on the line. These are not just rehashed generalized info but specific ideas that 99% of your competitors are NOT doing. Another key thing to note is that this site is visited by my former co-workers, clients (past and present), family meaning my aunts, cousins, wife, nephews, nieces, and even in laws. So I can’t afford to look like an idiot in front of so many people by not delivering the goods. Because it would create some serious premium content delivered for Thanksgiving and Christmas if you know what I mean (laugh). Nothing like having that special uncle telling you exactly “how fresh” your ebook was last Spring hahaha.
1. Create multiple springtime email marketing campaigns focused on your niche (emphasis on fresh new whatever you offer): people love NEW fresh things. One of the best online business ideas is to focus on re-purposing your content. Look inside your archives and pull out the most popular, relevant information and make it available in a (5) part email course. This way you are building your email lists.
2. Create a blogging series focused on sporting events. In the United States March Madness, NBA playoffs, etc. Compare the game or team philosophy to something that your readers can relate to in your niche. You can relate to subjects like “winning” and facing the competition, teamwork, going the extra mile. Also it makes for good headlines and develop a connection and bond with your readers outside of your niche (unless its sports).
3. Create a Springtime MANIFESTO to distribute freely on your blog. Remember a manifesto is an idea or collection of ideas. Well you are going to make a collection of ideas and a statement! But remember focus on spring, fresh new. Now is the time to talk of shedding the past and focusing on the future of today and the NOW of tomorrow.
4. April is Poetry Month (USA and World) so create if you can a series of funny poems about your niche that again relates to the reader. Even an memorable instructional for something. Example a poem about the first 12 steps after posting your blog article etc. Also make them into downloadable PDFs. Don’t write poems? Search your network to write some for you there are plenty of writers. See if you can barter your skills with them. Many writers HATE marketing for example. You may be able to help them.Also search a service like freelance.com. I think it is fair to offer say $15-$20 for a short poem. If you want more see if you can get a set price for say (10) poems. Of course ask for their portfolio and NEVER NEVER NEVER give a deposit. No matter how much they ask. wait until the work is done and you have approved. and if they refuse find someone else or seriously risk losing your money.
5. Did you know that April is Stress Awareness Month? Hey if your a personal development coach or fitness trainer, minimalist blogger, or Zen blogger then you will LOVE this! Create content in the form of a series, do a countdown to your ebook release for relaxation or better health. offer some audio podcasts and video advice for free. Tie in your video series for the sale of anything you launch or already have. Also what if your not a fitness person? Well you can focus on the problem you will solve to help them relieve their stress.
6. A/B split test meaning alternate the headlines while sending traffic to the same sales pages. Change your headlines to see if your pages convert more. You can create two different pages to use. Google will actually help you do this for FREE. I will have more future information on how to do this.
7. Develop apps for BING: they may not be Google but they are open to working with people and getting to their number one ranking will still bring in significant targeted traffic. Remember even Google wasn’t always Google.
8. Feature your pet or a funny character as a guest blog. I am not kidding. You want to build trust? Create a username on your site for your pet. And have them blog about something in your niche from the perspective of a dog, cat, or whatever. People will TRUST you more and it will connect you more as a human being (funny). Plus they will happily share with others in their network something that is original and humorous.
9. Create metaphors from movies. Use the examples of a movie and its characters to express your point in your articles. Are you in internet marketing? Hey use wall street. Gordon Gekko played by Michael Douglas IS the GURU of Wall street. I recently did one with the classic movie Taxi Driver for the SEOless. But you can take this one step further and add both your keyword phrases and your title to your headlines.
10. Tie in a series in your niche (if your niche follows this) with the new IPADs coming out. Start writing content and see how your micro niche could benefit from the new addition to the internet world. Educate people how to operate them for your niche and the uses that would benefit them. For example graphic artists you guys should be revving up to write instructional posts like crazy. You could even create instructional ebook with links to videos.
A/B split test meaning alternate the headlines while sending traffic to the same sales pages. Change your headlines to see if your pages convert more. You can create two different pages to use. Google will actually help you do this for FREE. I will have more future information on how to do this.
