What I Like About "Blogging To The Bank 3.0"

Blogging To The Bank 3.0

It is definitely one of the best books I've ever read when it comes to building a successful blogging niche empire on the Internet.

Rob Benwell teaches a very solid blue print plan that gives you the exact details on how to profit tremendously through online blogging.

What I like:

• Rob is efficient; he keeps things very simple and strait to the point – no hype at all. I cannot tell you how much I like this, when the hype is the name of the game on Internet Marketing

• I found the most powerful blogging techniques, valuable tips or untold secrets to higher cash-flows from my blogs

• Rob recommends email list building from our blogs as an attainable outcome and that alone has the potential to spread your income sources across many assets

• Affiliate marketing is his top recommended monetization method, I truly believe him because this has been my strong point as well in the last year

• Rob surprises me by talking about selling blogs, I think he is right, I never did but I shall try to implement this idea now

• My favorite, in extra bonuses Rob included some amazing new techniques on crushing your competition in the search engines and getting indexed by tomorrow, this is amazing info!

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 is the best yet in terms of helping us followers stay ahead of the pack too.

Internet Marketing Training For Beginners Eric Holmlund

If you are thinking about starting an Internet Marketing (IM) business you have a lot of resources available in a range from poor to excellent and, I know, it is hard to choose a leader to follow.
I suggest learning from someone who is a real expert, someone who has failed at times, and someone who’s not afraid to tell you what you don’t want to hear.

My personal recommendation is Eric’s online course, it is a FREE training, and it will take you from level zero as a beginner until you succeed in your on-line business.

Being free, you can go in and get out when you want, but I’ll bet you will fall in love with Eric’s knowledge, his considering attitude, his dedication to give and share with others, and for sure he is a person not afraid to tell you the true about Internet Marketing.

He planed a cycle of around 120 lessons starting with the necessary info to build an on-line business from A – Z.

If you are not a beginner you must bear with Eric through the basics and take advantage only of the advanced techniques which will follow later. Each lesson has a video and a text with main points and action steps to follow.

To help you to jump accordingly with your level, I’ll tell you what was done up till now (July 24, 2008).
Eric starts with:

• What is an on-line business?
• Outline a lot of ways to make money on-line
• What is the difference between self employed and business owner?
• The basic computer skills you need to have
• What mean to think as a marketer – lesson #12 - this is the point I recommend to start if you are not a novice
• Create your own vision of your business
• Setting goals for your business
• Create a business plan – lesson #15 - this is a mandatory point to start, but at least listen the videos starting with “think as a marketer”.

This is where he is now and if you don’t investigate this source quickly, 10 lessons forward can be too late and hard to catch up.

To your success

Now Is Information Overload Clean Up Day For Me

Monday morning I fill tired, probably because I work 6 hays and a half per week. The body does his math and decides that the time off is not enough! But I don’t want to lose Mondays as working days and usually I create a list to do easy to accomplish for them. This Monday will be Information Overload clean up day.

Internet Marketing is full of contradictions, isn’t it?
Like:

• Everybody on our Planet tries to sell something to you but some people will tell you “Info Overload will hurt you”
• All gurus and not only they will tell you how wonderful is to start as an Affiliate Marketer. Ok, when you start to do it you find out that affiliate links are prohibited in: Forums, Ezines, Blogs and so on. Except Squidoo almost everybody turns a cold shoulder on affiliate links.
• If you ask, how I should drive traffic, the response is Forum, Ezines, Blogs, PPC and Web 2.0 (From 5 choices: 3 are prohibited, PPC is risky for beginners, Web 2.0 is Ok but not everybody knows how to do it.) What a nice and clear cut response you got!
• A couple of years ago, I attended a seminar in which I found out that Affiliate Marketing was the best think invented by humans since the sliced bread. At the lunch table I asked how many newbie succeed in Affiliate Marketing, the response was 5%. WOW! What an encouraging response for a newbie.

Now I am not a newbie but I am still learning and I still don’t have all the answers. To some degree, I can separate the weeds. I’ll try to share with you what I learn.

Why I need an Overload clean up day(s):

• First I created a plan which had too many thinks to do in a short period of time – unrealistic dead lines
• I didn’t kick the habit of working in more then one project at a time – I did 60% but definitely I have to discipline myself to work on just one project from top to bottom 100% – other wise I lose the focus and slow down entire process
• I have to learn to say NO from time to time. This is easy to say not as easy to implement.
  

As a result of all the above I cumulate “staff” which is not 100% well documented, or at list labeled, some never opened. Now I want to list some Digital Products on a website and eBay, and it is hard to find what I want. I need to delete, relabeled and documented all I have or I am going to work in jungle the rest of the year.

In short I need some time to clean the mess I created. I also decided to be more selective with what I want to buy from now on. Sound strange to hear something like this from a person who is doing Affiliate Marketing. Isn’t it!

Well, this is my point. Overflow Info is not going to directly hurt you, but indirectly it will because:

• It will interrupt your focus
• Slow you down, at list 2-3 new DP will appear every day
• Confuse some issues reading 2-3 ebooks at the same time

My take on this is:

• You have to have a very well done work plan
• Take just one task at a time, solve the task, and don’t jump to the next one until you completely finish the first one
• Don’t let anybody interrupt you
• Don’t work to more then one project at a time
• Follow just one leader at a time
• Learn from my own mistake

In 3 words: focus, hard work, and consistency

By the way, this week Terry Dean will publish “Traffic secrets 2.0”, I am sure it is a great product but everybody under the sun will promote the product.

I am not going to promote but for people who don’t know Terry Dean, I’ll help you to find out more about Terry and this way I’ll help you decide if this is a product for you or not.
I consider this is a good friendly help, because “Traffic Secrets 2.0” is expensive and what I offer you cost 2 Starbuck coffees ($10.00).

If you don’t know Terry, I think you better spend 10 bucks to find out who he is vs. spending hundreds of dollars for a product of an unknown author.
If you know Terry you already made your mind.

I think his product is excellent but different people have different needs, and you have to decide for yourself, first discover Terry Dean

All the best

Project New Web by Lee McIntyre

Hello! This is a review of a publication that is very close to my heart because it is related with Web 2.0, and producing FREE traffic using Web 2.0 or New Web.

Do you remember this headline?
“Discover a powerful System Any Beginner Can Steal To Earn $16,496.42 In 31 Days By Giving Away Their Best Secrets For Free”
It is celebration time for Lee McIntyre, this month will be one year since Lee started his online business. He had remarkable accomplishments to be proud of.

Let me tell you what he did. Well, he was sure that times have changed so techniques that gurus are still teaching that worked 5-8 years ago, they are not working NOW!

He stopped following gurus advice and instead he started doing things his way using Web 2.0 and the sales started flooding in .

When he started he had:
- No List
- No Product
- No Contacts
- No JV Partners

In the process he discovered and published the 3 major reasons why the old guru solutions no longer apply:

1) Reverse Sweep Viral Marketing is growing - the net is getting more connected by the day and people are starting to talk. A few years ago was easy to convince people to opt-in, buy, because each new product launch was an independent event. Treat your lists poorly now and your bad reputation will spread through the marketplace, vecause now evribody is related with evribody else. in Web 2.0 we are a big family.

2) Increasingly Tired and Jaded prospects are saying NO to hard selling and hype - people are fed up, and the old techniques like OTOs and over aggressive selling are getting less effective by the day.

3) Web 2.0 Momentum means the days of just talking at your prospects are over - we're in Web 2.0 world now and that means trying to 'sell' all the time just doesn't happend any more. While the old experts still teach you to sell hard, the net landscape has changed forever and that means giving away value is more appealing route to success.

In "Project New Web", Lee McIntyre can teach you how to do what he did. You can follow him in his foot steps and you can duplicate his success.

These are his five rules to help you make more money in the Web 2.0 world:

1. Stop Selling and Start Giving -
He has discovered the more value he give away, the more profits he get back... and he is going to teach you how to do exactly the same.

2. Build Deep Prospect Relationships And Not Shallow Ones - If you listen to any of the supposed big name marketers they'll tell you that email marketing is slowly dying. He is going to teach you how to build powerful relationships with your members that will make them want to buy from you again and again.

3. Look after your Prospects and Your Customers Will Look After You - He is going to show you the massive impact that treating your subscribers like gold can have upon your business, and how you can easily transform customers into your fans that help you.

4. Creating Value is More Important Than Manufacturing Profits – He is going to teach you why manufacturing profits is often counter productive, and how creating value instead will lead to a vastly increased earning potential.

5. Think Long Term and Participate - One of the reasons why so many people fail is because they spend their time chasing quick and easy opportunities they hope are just around the corner. He is going to show you why thinking long term is crucial for long term profits if you want to work once and get paid forever.

Find out more from the author of Project New Web.

Lee was convinced that it is still possible to earn a great living online and he proved it with his new product and he humiliated the experts by stomping on their rulebook.
I highly recommend Project New Web

How To Do Internet Marketing

Hello! I am very embarrassed to tell you the story of my last 4-5 days, but I think we must share the good days and the bad days and the totally out of our hands days as well.

Last week I have had a long conversation with myself about how my business evolves. I made long term and short term plans and I was ready to start publishing a FREE eCourse:

“How To Do Internet Marketing”

I wanted to transmit the eCourse by emails in 8 odd Days.
This is the content:
Day 1: What is Affiliate Marketing?
Day 2: What is Viral Marketing?
Day 3: How to do e-mail marketing right
Day 4: How to create a Product
Day 5: What Blogging will do for your Affiliate Marketing?
Day 6: Why resell Rights are important
Day 7: How to generate Traffic
Day 8: Help yourself with Web 2.0

Sunday evening the content for all 8 days was ready, I converted the OpenOffice documents on PDFs and I moved them on my host server. Just the aWeber work was left to do. It was late, I was tired but determined to finish the work on Sunday night and tell the world about it on Monday.

I just started to create the follow ups on aWeber. It was raining, but I enjoyed the cool breeze coming through my window. All of a sudden, winds got out of control, began to rain with cats and dogs, and the light went off.
I wasn’t worry about my computer because I have a very reliable Internet Office UPS, but I had no idea when the light will be back. Well, I said like Scarlet “tomorrow it is another day” and I gave up, it was already 11:30 PM.

Monday evening was still raining and I started to work from where I was left on Sunday. The storm was determined to make my life miserable. Three times the light was off and on and off again, I had a river on my street and I had to close all the windows because the rain was falling horizontal not vertical.
The thunders and lightning was so powerful, my Mom who is 94 years old was scared as a child, and I had to stay to comfort her. I gave up working again.

Tuesday I found out that the electricity hub of Essex County was damaged and ½ of Essex is without electricity until next day. I was in ½ where electricity was on and I hoped to finish my aWeber work. Not a chance, we had another miserable evening still with rain and gusty winds, and first time when the light was off I gave up again.

Wednesday I finished, I tested and a lot of details didn’t work as I planed - no wander with so many interruptions. Thursday I did corrections and tested again.

Finally today Friday I can tell you about it, but this supposed to happen Monday. Well, now you know why I am embarrassed.

To get my FREE eCourse, please sign in:

http://www.affiliate-ebook-marketing.net/AM-eCourse.html

The eCourse will start immediately after you confirm your email and will be published each odd day until the 8th day.

Can IM produce success stories in 2008?

Hello!

I had a lot of eBay students who ask me if Internet Marketing is still live and well and make sense to try it. YES make sens! I’ll comment on this topic now.

First it is a confusion going on in Internet Marketing Beginners Camp.

If somebody is not successful it is not necessary because Internet Marketing is a waist of time. In majority of cases happened because some Internet Marketing Methods are changing as we speak. I am talking about the Web 2.0 revolution, about PPC vs. FREE traffic and so on. And not everybody is willing to jump on learning the new Methods, to work hard to keep abreast with what is new.

The Internet is changing so rapidly and the comfortable routine of what you know to do, can be a stopper in your career. Not everybody has the temperament to be a pioneer, but on Internet if you embrace your comfortable pillow to long… you will not be successful.

I have been in States since 1980. I was coming from Europe, and I was looking for a job as a Programmer Analyst. At that point all I knew was COBOL on Main Frame. I got a job and in first month I was impressed with how many other packages, languages, Databases, utilities, plus PC skills my co-workers had and use daily bases. In top of that; courses for new software packages, languages was offered monthly bases.

The reality struck me: I am a good Cobol programmer, but if I don’t start to learn new technology in 2-3 years maybe I am not going to find a Cobol Job.

I jumped in the first opportunity, I learned a new data base called DATACOM/DB and IDEAL language and that decision was the start of my prosperity in USA. After 2 years I was good enough with ADR packages and I start to do consulting and 10 years of prosperity come out of that simple decision to go to the ADR’s package training.

Now those are old packages, but I learn a lesson, never stop to learn new things!

I am still learning, I was curious about Internet, about eBay, about being an eBay teacher, about on-line marketing, Web 2.0, and here I am doing Internet Marketing and keep going learning.

Let’s come back to our topic Internet Marketing. The blue print of your success will be to stick with the following plan and learn as much as you can.

Step 1: Start building a list of potential customers who some day will become your customers and repeated customers.
You may be sick of hearing “the money is in the list” but the number one reason behind almost all successful marketers is the fact they have a mailing list and they have a good relationship with the list. Start now, not tomorrow.

Step 2: Sell others products as an affiliate.
It is nothing wrong to be an affiliate, can be productive and is part of your learning curve of learning what other successful marketers are doing.

Step 3: Create your own products or services.
Almost every successful marketer has their own product or service which can be any of the following:

• An eBook,
• An audio recording.
• Video tutorials.
• A membership site.
• Create a Software Package
• Create reports you can giveaway for FREE
• Do coaching on something you are good at
• Create mini eCourses via email, and offer as a backend a real good course or coaching membership program
• Create Copywriting services: Sales pages, squeeze pages,
• Create Graphics
• Website design
• And so on… I can continue but I'm sure you get the picture.

Step 4: Create a blog.
Having your own blog gives you an instant way to communicate with your list and is also an excellent way to generate an affiliate income by reviewing other marketers’ products.

Step 5: Learn to drive FREE traffic using Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is considered the new generation of Web Sites. The communication, interaction is the name of the new game. To be honest with you, I was a little skeptical for the beginning. But as soon as I realize the power of interaction with others, I completely change my mind, and the shift to new mentality got me.

Part of Web 2.0 are:

• Social Bookmarking
• Social Networking
• Video Sites
• Pod Casting
• Blogs

Step 6: Build a network of affiliates and JV Partners.
They can promote your products and you can promote there’s. Compete with your competition, work with them and grow together.

Step 7: Help as many people as you can.
Your effort will be repaid the big way if you offer your services to others who need it most.

Step 8: Stop wasting your time online with information overload.
You really don’t need everything which is publishing on the net. Only buy products that are relevant to your business and your niche.

Step 9: Work with a plan.
You really need a short term and a long term plan to make your business grow. Try to get done something every day. If you have a niche; stick with it.

Step 10: The Sky is the limit but not without:

• taking action
• keep going learning
• staying in the positive site
• never give up

How Resale Rights e-Books Can Make You a Fortune

I had ups and downs in my life as the majority of people.

It is true the money makes the world go round. And when you don’t have enough for a decent life, you will find out that you don’t have friends, associates, even relatives.

And the only way to prevent money from controlling your life is to have enough of them to completely eliminate the downs in your life.

I know what you are thinking now: this is a theory, but how you can accomplish this. I will tell you how.

Did you know that more money was made online last year by novices than by established Internet personalities?

A big revolution is taking place online as we speak, and it is in the best interests of people like you and me.

There was a time when the only people making money online were those people who knew exactly what they were doing, they were knowledgeable, and they were called gurus. People bought what they were selling because they had a reputation for providing quality and they already were recognizable of being Internet personalities.

But it is part of the human nature, with to much money coming in, some gurus became arrogant and ordinary people start to avoid them, and stopped buying from them. The market was still there, people wanted to buy information products, but they turned the head in a different direction, they want honest, hard-working, regular people.

This is how resale rights products became successful, and this is why, the last year, resale rights products have been the biggest booming industry. If you have been scared by the reputation of gurus because you don't think there is room left in the market for you, then think again.

To learn more about resale rights products and how you can start making money in just seven days, click on the link below:

Resale Rights Blueprint

This is a step-by-step training course, showing you how to move from where you are now to owning your own successful online business, selling resale rights products, in just seven days.

The course is very well organized, for each day you will get: a PDF, a Checklist, Video Tutorials, and Templates.

I put my reputation on the line to tell you that this method is a key of success which can be duplicated by everybody who wants to learn, works hard, and gets in the top in a short period of time.

Selling Digital Products after eBay banning them

The Shock, After Shock, and Solutions.

First, it was the shock, the earth was trembling, we cannot sell Digital Products with Instant Digital Delivery on eBay, but we have the following options:

• Put them on CD or DVD
• Use Classified Ads
• Use USB Flash Drives
• Use Memory Cards

It was hard to swallow, not everybody was prepared to switch from Instant Digital Delivery to create a physical item and so on.

Second, it was an after shock, eBay changes the rules on Classified Ads which makes even harder to use them.
The new rules are:

• We cannot put a "pay now PayPal button" on a Classified Ads
• We cannot put an opt-in list on a CA
• We cannot put an external URL to a website on a CA

To be honest with you, I was looking in disappointment at the new rules, and I ask myself what in the world we can put on Classified Ads to have a sell.
Is not the purpose of a list or a Classified Ad on eBay to generate a sell?

I overcame the after shock and I begin to use my search skills to find out what we can do.
This is my take on this:

Solutions:

1) We can create an eBay list for a physical product on CD. To do this we can use MyDD software to transform the PDF of an e-Book in a physical product CD or DVD. Also read the Do not Panic Report.

In just 2 weeks Socrates created a new version of MyDD which is able to do just that. With the version 3.0:

• We send to MyDD the the URL of the PDF
• They will work with kunaki to create the physical product
• They will send the CD or DVD to the address we indicate.

This is a fantastic solution, it will cost a decent amount you will take it from shipping cost of the physical product paid by customer, and all you do is you transmit the URL of a PDF. This really means the process is still automated because you are not the one who physically pack and send the CD/DVD.

2) We can use a Classified Ad very carefully to stay in the eBay new rules. Up till now we have 2 solutions:

• One is very well explained in a video by Jim Cockrum, the idea is to use just an email which will connect with aWeber email and use the power of follow up messages to send customers where you want. Search MySilentTeam for the video
• The other one is to use John Thornhill technique of creating Classified Ads with an opt-in list for a discount of a product, request a confirm email address and again use Follow up messages of aWeber for the rest of the process (sale Page to buy it, etc).

You can go on eBay and look at planetsms to find an example of John's Classified Ad.

If you sell CD/DVD via eBay, I suggest looking it over Digital Media Solution and you will find exactly what you need to do, to take your Product to the next Level.

You will find out what are the advantages of placing your product on disk - because the size of CD you can include more bonuses in CD and increase the value of your product.

You will get a professional looking complete package which looks much better than “download a .zip file”.

• You will learn how you can structure your CD/DVD to achieve simplicity and quality
• You will learn how to create a simple menu system that will link to your CD/DVD content
• You will get 5 CD/DVD pre-made menu designs for your auto-run disk navigation, complete with PSD source file, you can edit if you require and a ready to go HTML menu system
• You will get 5 CD/DVD pre-made box designs for your need, complete with PSD source file so you can edit if you require, a ready to go default image and blank image
• You will get 5 CD pre-made case designs for your CD cases, Complete with PSD source file
• You will learn how to integrate an auto-responder newsletter subscription form
• You will learn how to make your CD/DVD automatically run once inserted

and much more

You really will get a professional looking package which will make customers to return to do business with you.

Affiliate Marketing Reviews Aim

Welcome to Affiliate Marketing Reviews!

In Information overload era in which we are living now, you need to make decisions daily. Which Affiliate Marketing Products, Tools will put you in control of your destiny, will help you to succeed online?

In one of my Websites I introduce for a good reason the Motto:

Knowledge Is Power!

I was there. I know it is not easy to take decisions; and you need to take informed decision. To do so I read Articles, Newsletters, comments in Forums, it was a tiring, and time consuming process but helped me to find what I was looking for.

Creating honest, unbiased reviews of e-Books, Videos, Guides, e-Courses, other forms of training, I really hope, I’ll help others to get hands on good products and services and make a better living in half of the time I spent to do so.

The first side of the coin: “Content is the king” in your Websites, and you are in charge to create relevant, up-to-date content, nobody can do it better then you. This is the key element SEO and Google is looking for to rank the Websites.
Some people relay on software, “machines” to do it. This is a huge mistake I see repeating over and over again. To gain the attention and trust of your readers you must have a sole, you must be a human creature, you must share, give, understand the needs of people.

You must be an authentic problem solver!

The second face of the coin: you must generate targeted traffic to your sites. You can pay for it (PPC) or you can use Web 2.0 to generate FREE traffic. I am in favor of using Web 2.0. I’ll get in more details later.

For Affiliate Marketing I recommend a Free Marketing Course by Ken Evoy

Ken Evoy created for the first time the cycle:
1) Content
2) Traffic
3) PRE-sell
4) Monetize
You will find excellent resources - cream of the crop strategies to ensure the success of your online Affiliate Business

All the best
