Custom Logo Design from Network Solutions.com
The purpose of Custom Logo Design is to create a unique and outstanding logo that will help to establish brand recognition for new Internet marketers.
Pros: The world recognizes products, services, companies and even individuals by a logo that they see over and over again. It is hard to put a value on brand recognition. Because logos are so important in the world of Internet marketing this is a place where cutting corners shouldn’t be allowed.
Custom Logo Design provides for customers to collaborate one on one with a professional graphic designer. Customers can choose between three custom logo concepts that are created by the professional graphic designer and can have up to rounds of revisions before a final design is accepted.
In the Custom Logo Design Plus version, the customer will be presented with 6 custom logo designs to choose from and then have up to 4 rounds of revisions before the final design is accepted.
The final logo design is delivered in multiple formats so that the customer can use the logo on the Internet or on printed materials.
Cons: Probably not of any value to well-established Internet marketers who have already branded their work in some way but it can be of great value to new Internet marketers who have not yet established a brand.
Guarantee: There is no specific guarantee but the customer works directly with the designer to insure satisfaction of the finished product.
Value for money: An excellent value for a one time cost that will last as long as a business lasts.

The Paypal Merchant Account Review
The purpose of an Internet marketer having a merchant account with Paypal is that it is difficult to run an Internet business without one. Paypal simply has no viable competition.
Pros: PayPal is the most used (read ‘only’) way that businesses send and receive payments on the Internet. There are, of course, other options but so far PayPal really doesn’t have any viable competition out there that is totally acceptable.
The affiliate or referral program payments are based upon the sales made by the referred Paypal customer. When a new business signs up for a business or premier account at Paypal, the referrer is awarded .5% of all sales that new merchant makes from their website until the referral bonus totals $1000. Sales made on eBay are not included in this total, however.
Paypal affiliates are paid $3 per new business or premier account that they provide. There is an additional payment of $20 when the account is activated and a sale is made from the website. If the sale is made from the eBay website, the payment is only $1. This is in addition to the possible bonus of $1000 that is discussed above.
Cons: The PayPal affiliate program will only apply to business to business Internet marketers or to those who provide information and instruction to new marketers. It will not be of any value to those who sell to customers because the accounts that are opened must be marketing accounts.
Guarantee: There is no guarantee.
Value for money: There is no initial charge for opening a merchant account on PayPal.

Choosing your theme and choosing your domain name and cheap web hosting service
So what theme is perfect for you?
The best way to start with your first PPCSE is to choose a theme or topic you have a passion for or know a fair bit about.
The only reason I say this because people seem to work harder and faster when they are passionate about what they are working on.
In the previous section, I gave you a sample list of topics you could start your own PPCSE on, but if none of them float your boat, so to speak, here are a few ways to not only find a topic you might have an interest in, but find a topic people and more importantly advertisers would be interested in.
There's no use creating a PPCSE that interests you and nobody else, so use my PPCSE Idea Generator, the first of its kind anywhere.
PPCSE Idea 1: Your own hobbies and interests
Here is something that you should always remember. A wise man once said, "If you make your hobby your business, you will never have to work a day in your life.
I don't know about you, but when I'm doing something I love doing, like writing, it never seems like a chore, even if I'm writing about the most mundane subjects.
So if you have a golf addiction, why not setup your own PPCSE on golf. You would get thousands of advertisers in all sorts of fields in the golf industry, and you might never know, promote it right and a bigger company might just want to buy your small niche PPCSE for big bucks.
PPCSE Idea 2: 100 hottest web subjects
If you want to choose a subject for your PPCSE that's in demand and most likely to make the most money, then you should visit sites that rate what people are looking for on the net.
Aside from the adult industry and the online gambling industry, subjects that are hot are numerous.
Here are a few places you can check out to see what's hot on the net and what's not.
The first place is http://www.100hot.com
I visit this site regularly. You can easily start to search through all of the sites listed under the many categories. If you choose a topic for your PPCSE from this list, you can't go wrong, as this is what people are actually searching for.
I also use http://www.wordspot.com
Every week via email, they send you a list of 200 most searched for terms on the Internet. 50% of these are probably useless for ideas for your search engine, but the other 50% could be your goldmine.
One thing to look at for is some searches only show up one week and not another. Like during Easter, the term "Easter" comes up a lot, but whether or not it's a yearlong search is another thing. So try and pick topics that come up in the top 200 every week, or close to.

How do I make money with PPC Search Engines without spending a fortune in the process?
So how do you make the most money with your PPCSE without spending a fortune in the process?
By starting a specialty PPCSE!
Let me explain:
PPCSE like Overture.com and Findwhat.com pay millions on advertising, because their search engine targets everybody, or I should say, every topic. (I learnt along time ago, in marketing, if you target everybody, you target nobody.)
They get millions of hits everyday and millions of searches every month, that's why advertisers pay such high click prices.
So how do you get the big bids, without the big advertising budget and millions of searches?
Ok, here's the trick and hopefully when you finish reading this book, you will be able to start your own profitable PPCSE.
Since you can't afford to target every topic, we then pick one. Let's say for instance you have a passion for gambling, well then you would create your own gambling PPCSE. You would then get all sort's of advertisers like online casino's, to book writers who have the latest tips and tricks up for sale, and I guarantee you, it's a big field.
You could even narrow it down even further, to people whom like card games, but I think the gambling topic would be best.
Of course there are millions of topics you can choose from, but I will list a few here.
You could have a PPCSE on...
• Webmaster Resources
• Religion
• Country Specific - HOT!
• Region Specific - HOT - EG, New York
• Wedding Supplies
• Bed and Breakfasts
• Art's and Crafts
• Collectibles
• Gift Ideas
• Fitness and Health
• Travel and Travel Accessories
As you can see, every topic could have it's own PPCSE. The trick is to start one, make it profitable, than start another.

How Do Pay Per Click Search Engines make money?
Every time someone who searches for something clicks on an advertiser’s link, you get money. They might only pay 3 cents per click, but every time someone clicks on the advertiser’s link you get their money.
Some PPCSE (Pay Per Click Search Engines), like Overture.com have advertisers who pay up to $5 per click and deposit thousands of dollars every month!
Of course to get advertisers like that, you would normally need millions of people to search and surf your pay per click search engine, which would cost you, the little guy, more then you can probably afford, and that's not what this book is about.

Looks Aren’t Everything (But They Sure Don’t Hurt)
Looks Aren’t Everything (But They Sure Don’t Hurt)
A successful web site combines appealing looks with meaty content that keeps potential buyers exploring your site. The longer they stay in your domain, the more likely they are to buy! Follow these tips for hanging your web site in the stratosphere of success.
• Go easy on the graphics. Sure, images and flash presentations look great—but in most browsers a graphics-heavy page takes a long time to load, and buyers won’t hang around to wait when there are plenty of other options available.
• Choose a font style that’s easy to read. If you’re selling a book on relationships, putting all your web copy in Edwardian Script ITC will not get the romance juices flowing. It will, however, cost you sales.
• Teach them something. Provide more than just thrilling monologues about how great your product is. Write articles on your topic or reprint articles from internet databases. After spending half an hour reading through exciting and informative pieces of your topic, they will want to learn more.
• Show your marketing savvy by providing a sign-up box or link for your newsletter, e-zine or autoresponder (*gasp* – you don’t have any of those? Visit the resource section on my web site right now at www.myresourcepage.com and find out why you need one!) right on your front page. Repeat for subsequent pages.
Get the keys to unlock your web site’s full potential.
My 7-part e-course “Super Web Site Profits for Explosive Sales” gives you a huge amount of web site resources and free tools for every aspect of site design and content creation, all in one place. You’ll get information that would take years to gather on your own (that’s how long it took me!) and cost you hundreds of dollars—and much, much more—for only $49.95!
Order “Super Web Site Profits for Explosive Sales” within five days and I’ll not only include 20 free marketing surveys you can customize for your web site, I’ll also throw in a free e-book on writing killer web copy.
