How Can a Blog Help my Business?

It isn't long after you start your business before you hear people begin to tell you,
it's a good idea to get a blog started. Unfortunately, some times people don't tell
you why or are only able to give you a sketchy idea why.

How is blogging helpful to  your business, particularly if the business is offline
or when you are a service provider, like a belly dancer who performs at private functions for example.

Here are some ways having a blog could help generate more interest, leads or bookings.

It Exhibits Your Expertise

It is alright to put up videos and pictures on web pages to show others what you can do for them, but I'll bet you have more and newer videos and snapshots. Also, some orders are unique. These are all good reasons to show off and what better way than to use a blog because it is so easy to update. A belly dancer can display videos where a client has requested something unique which forced her to
think outside the box and come up with some creative choreography.

It Can Demonstrate How You Will Solve Client Problems

You know the old saying, people buy solutions, not products or services. You can explain this on a regular web page but on a blog, it all becomes more believable, more tangible.

It Shows You Are Actively Using Your Skills

If you are currently working with clients, any post you make about your job is a good
testimonial. It shows that there are people who already trust you to do what you
claim you will do. Better still if your customer can contribute to your blog or
allow you to quote them.

You Can Get To Know Your Prospects And They Get To Know You

This is true, particularly when you offer a service because people usually want to
work with others  whom they can get along with. Because a blog is interactive,
through the comments people can begin to experience you and get a feel of how the
company handles their customers.

It Can Help Increase Website Traffic

When you write good, content that is relevant and also promote it, people will take
notice. When they do, they are more likely to share it on their own blog and their
social networks and even decide to email it to their newsletter subscribers. All
good ways to get fresh traffic.

It Can Reduce The Need To Answer Questions Over And Over

There are questions in every business that people tend to ask again and again.
Whenever you answer these questions on your blog, you help your prospects out by
giving them the information they are seeking, you plant the seed of trust, you add
fresh content to your website, stuff that search engines and people alike love. And
finally, you reduce your work because now you don't have to type your answer again
and again.

Blogging can be a quite rewarding. The downside is, starting one can be somewhat of
a big learning curve if you are pretty new to web publishing or feel you will fare
better with technical stuff when you have some help. True, you can hire someone. At
the same time, knowing the basics isn't such a bad thing because it reduces your
reliance on others when you need something simple done. You don't have to go at it
alone. There are resources you might want to check out, like the
Blogging Starter Pack.
It is like having a tutor to guide you step by step getting your blog up and running.

10 Blog Traffic Tips

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else's blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that's about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers.

These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.

It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.Top 10 Tips

10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles. A pillar article is usually a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn't news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

You don't have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need an easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that's the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you've done a good job!).

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people's blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger's article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it's sort of like your blog telling someone else's blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at http://blogcarnival.com/.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it's so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it's worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn't bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it's worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I've listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won't stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

Michael Rasmussen's "Mini Site Profits Exposed" Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini
sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money
online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or
money to set up, and once you've got one up and
running, you can sit back and just collect money from
all the sales you're making.

At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...

*************************************************
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you've been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more
about that later. First, let's talk about the videos
themselves.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com/?thankyou-page=76656

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It's important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll
agree that he has succeeded.

Now let's move onto...

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it's impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the site:

Misite Profits Exposed

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it's structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it's important to
pay close attention to this one.

You'll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you'll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as...

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create
the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so
they'll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of
your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He'll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you've been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you've already got a mini site that's up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit'
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it's that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you're going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it's own video.

After watching this video, you'll understand why you
can't just have a single front end product, and you'll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you... completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You'll learn
all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it's really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your
mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you'll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you're done with this video, you'll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you're out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You'll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

How many times have you started a Home Study Course, only to find that it's either over your head or something is missing? You end up having to buy other e-books to fill in the gaps. But they don't quite mesh with what you have, so you end up even more confused.

There is nothing worse than buying something that you expect to take you all the way to your destination, only to have to pay more to actually get there. Imagine buying a train ticket from LA to NY, and halfway along your journey you're told you need to buy a bus ticket from Kansas City to Chicago. With Home Study Courses and train tickets, you expect to get to your destination without having to pay more.

The new Home Study Course by Kevin Riley certainly does take you all the way. Nothing has been left out, and nothing has been assumed. No matter how new you are to Internet marketing, this Home Study Course will lead you step-by-step through building a profitable home-based business. The detailed screenshots and simple directions are like having Kevin there showing you exactly how to do each step.

Seven manuals, a success guide, 22 helpful worksheets, 5 templates, and a viral sales script will ensure you successfully build your Internet business.

Unlike many Home Study Course – which parade an impressive array of manuals and DVDs in front of you, so they can charge you hundreds of dollars and you'll never plow your way through all the fluff – Kevin has priced his succinct Home Study Course at an ultra-low Recession Buster price.

If you're ready to start truly making money on the Internet – and doing so for a very long time – go now to Kevin Riley's New Home Study Course.

Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind

Last year I was signed up for a while to Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind. The membership gave me access to oodles of valuable information. One of my "classmates" was Alborz Fallah who went on to produce a phenomenal blog which was recently estimated to be worth $5 million dollars.
Alborz's blog is at caradvice.com.au.

Here is the link to an audio interview between Alborz and his mentor Yaro Starak. Yaro is one of the best and most famous bloggers in the business.

It's worth a listen. You can also download the pdf file with the transcript. No Charge!

Who are These Guys??????

OK! I've been telling you how important the information in James B Allen and Kevin Riley's IPO -- Osaka Interrogation is to your online profits. But who are these guys? Why should you listen to them? How can they help you make a lot more money online?

Well ... take a look at this quick video:



The Osaka Interrogation

Kevin Riley and James Allen in Japan

If you are interested in increasing the profits from your online efforts, you NEED to let me tell you about what's been going on in Japan...

You see, I just received a very interesting update from my friend Kevin Riley. For those of you who haven't heard of Kevin, he's the author of a very successful line of Internet Marketing guidebooks he calls his "Recipes".

(Kevin lives in Japan with his beautiful Japanese wife.)

Kevin is extremely good a cranking out popular and informative reports -it's his specialty. But, to drive traffic and track the results of his offers though, he turns to another internet marketer who also lives in Japan, James B. Allen.

(James also has a beautiful Japanese wife. Spotting a trend here?)

It turns out that these two experts recently got together in the city of Osaka for a week. During that time, they spent several days at Kevin's "Lab" creating a video series teaching all their secrets.



The Osaka Interrogation

As Kevin tells me,

"James had contacted me, thoroughly disgusted with the skimpy information being drip-fed at expensive IM seminars, and ready to spill the beans on all the super-effective techniques he's employed to make big profits off the Internet.

"For 3 long days, we locked ourselves in the Labs (only cigars and whiskey kept us alive) and pooled our vast knowledge and experience with product creation, Internet marketing, offline marketing, and business building. We filmed it all.

"We were absolutely drained at the end, but what emerged was phenomenal. We are offering it as video series named - Internet Profits Optimizer: The Osaka Interrogation."

Kevin is being serious here. If you are still struggling to increase your online income, you'll want to check these out as soon as possible.

Incredibly, this video series, which you can download and watch on your computer, includes 19 videos. That's three full hours of Kevin and James spilling their techniques for increasing traffic, conversions, sales and profits from your websites, all in a clear and detailed manner.

You can read a full description of the offer at their main salespage here:

The Osaka Interrogation

Kevin Riley Does it Again!

Starting to feel like a lot of the time and money you've spent on ebooks, software and training for your online business has been in vain?

You are not alone. In fact, getting good information is often quite difficult.



Online Income Conspiracy

In fact, as it turns out, there are some people who WANT you to keep wasting your money like that - without getting results. They are the agents of the so-called "Online Income Conspiracy".

Luckily, there is a simple 3-Key system ANYONE can apply to increase their online income - using the tools and training you have already spent money on.

Learning this system has two powerful benefits.

The first - it will help turn what you already know into increased online profits.

Secondly, it will keep you from ever being duped by the conspiracy again. The 3-Key system virtually guarantees any future purchase you make to help your online business will actually be a good investment.

Knowing this system, you'll quickly be able to spot the cons and the scams and avoid wasting your money on them ever again.

Kevin Riley and James B. Allen have just released a FREE report that reveals both this "Online Income Conspiracy" that has been working against you AND the "3-Key" system that will improve your online income and release you from the conspiracy's stranglehold.

You don't even need to provide your name or email address - just click, download, read... and be enlightened and armed with a potent formula for success.

Online Income Conspiracy

Ok. So you're new at internet marketing and you want to get the ball rolling. You want to see some $$ going in to your Paypal account. Maybe you tried affiliate marketing. Maybe it wasn't as easy as "they" make it out to be. There's alot more to success at affiliat marketing than just taking a link and plastering it up on your website/article/email.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about having YOUR OWN product. Have you started to look around at different niches that work for you? Do you have a topic that you are somewhat knowledgeable (or even passionate) about?

Would you like to start building your list?

Once you have a list you can start building a relationship with them. Eventually, if you provide them with enough valuable information they may buy from you! Get enough people on your list and provide them with good value and you will surely earn income from your subscribers. And you will be feeling good about providing them with valuable information that actually helps them.

Are you a bit unclear still about how to start your list? Would you like to own a neat tool which teaches you how to go about writing your first free report and instructs you how to graduate from free to low cost and then to higher cost reports?

Kevin Riley, master of the "Recipes" series has come up with yet another great Recipe called Recipe for Building a Cash Pumping List with Free Reports. He provides detailed instructions in an ebook on how to write your free report. He provides a Word Template for the report, a complete website, thank you page, confirmation page with instructions on how to pull it all together with your autoresponder (without which you cannot build your list, of course...).

This is the product that can help you get started building that list the right way.

SMARTS, Mass Control and $50 a Day

Stompernet's SMARTS, Frank Kern's Mass Control - hooeeeee. We're talking big money launches! One thing they both have in common is that they both made sure to release a bunch of really good quality, FREE videos (a la Eben Pagan) which provided tons of valuable information before they launched.

As a matter of fact, although Mass Control sold out already, I received a mail today saying that they will be re-opening on Sunday for a short time in case anyone still wants in (at about $2,000...)
Even if you can't afford to get it, you have to go on over to Frank Kern's blog, Mass Control Site and watch the free videos. They're perfect for newbies and are very informative. Frank has a very friendly and unpretentious style that appeals to me. Worth watching.

Now over to something completely different.

I got my hands on a book called 50 Bucks a Day by Daniel McGonagle. Usually I don't even open up all my mails on a Saturday night because my inbox is so full. I usually just delete everything. But, Daniel usually sends out high quality stuff and he doesn't bombard my inbox. So, I purchased it from him for $7 and I must say I learned something that I would not have thought of. It's a short report which teaches you in 14 pages (10, actually), how to make about $50 a day online without using Affiliate marketing, Adwords or Surveys. I haven't tried it yet but I can see how it would work. You do have to put work into it but, hey, we all know there is no such thing as a free lunch! Have a look at the under-one-minute video about it here.

Cash Pulling Blog Tactics Revealed

I just downloaded a free ebook on making cash from your blog. It's a darn good book and unbelievable value for $0!!!! It's called Cash Pulling Blog Tactics Revealed.

The book was published by Aaron Leighton and David Isaacs. As I leafed through it I thought that I recognized the content. Well, I did! Originally this book was written by (or ghost written for) Tony Shepard, who had provided it to me for free, as his subscriber. Even then, when I first received this book I thought that it was one of THE best blogging resources I've ever read. Apparently, Aaron and David bought PLR rights to the book and are now distributing it as a way to help build up their business.

Clever boys.

It's really one of the best blogging books I've seen. Covers topics like:

+ Getting Started
+ Which forums to frequent
+ RSS Feeds
+ Social Bookmarking
+ Using Videos
+ Commenting on other Blogs
+ Article writing and submission
+ etc. etc.

It's a freebie and absolutely worth your time to download it and read it - that is ONLY IF you are a blogger or planning on being one. This is a must-have resource.

As an aside, they are also compensating people for promoting this free resource (50 cents per each referral). I wouldn't mess around with it for the measly few dollars but I do think it's worth a perusal (and there is an upsell that they are offering commissions on).

20 Ways to $100 a Day - Product Review

By now you have probably heard about the new 247 page report, 20 Ways To $100 A Day. I was fortunate enough to get a copy of this as soon as it came out. What I am going to do is review it for you so that you don't have to wonder if it's any good or not. I will say right off the top, there is both good and bad to this report. You will need to decide if the good outweighs the bad. I can't make that decision for you. I can only give you the facts and my opinion.

Okay, here are the facts as briefly as possible, which is hard to do when you're dealing with a 247 page report.

The report is not written by one person, so you don't have to worry that this is from the biased viewpoint of a single individual. The report has been put together by a number of people, some of them just regular folks like you and me, not big name marketers. Each person tells, in detail, how they go about making $100 per day minimum and in many cases a lot more.

Some of the people in this book, like Dr Mani, I know personally. So I can vouch for their integrity. Some of the people, I do not know, however know their methods and can vouch for the methods themselves. The person who put this book together (Willie Crawford) is also a very respected marketer, so I can vouch for his character.

Okay, let me get to the pros and cons of this book.

Pros -

Each method is laid out step by step. Some of the steps aren't as detailed, which is understandable when you're trying to include so much info. Any more detail in this book and 247 pages would have been 1247 pages. Nobody would read it.

There are many types of plans as far as time frame. There are plans for immediate cash, which will appeal to many folks, and there are plans that are more long range where you will make your $100 a day, but it will take some time to get there. But most of these plans will actually yield much more money.

There is something in this book for everybody. It covers both software creation and sales, info product sales, Ebay, greeting cards and things I would never have thought of. If you can't find something in this book that strikes a chord then you're just not trying.

Cons -

There is no focus on what may be the most important part of all of this, and that's advertising methods. Now, the good news is that if you have Steven Wagenheim's Honest Income Program (reviewed on this blog here), then you have info on advertising methods, which is quite extensive. So just apply them to these money making efforts and you'll be fine. Just don't expect any great advertising tips in here. That's not what this book is about. It's about ways to make $100 a day, fairly easily, and there are 20 of them.

Finally, there is no push button method in this book. Additionally, all of these methods take a lot of work. So if you're looking for easy money where you don't have to do a thing, then this book is going to disappoint you. There is no easy way to make money online. It takes work, and this book is no exception.

Overall

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I give this book an 8.

It's not a "Bible" for an absolute beginner because it leaves stuff out. On the other hand, it does a really good job of giving you the "big picture" and presenting you with different ideas about how to go about making money on the net. Once you choose a method you will probably have to read up more on this method in order to fully implement it. If you've been in IM for a while this book is a great supplement. And for $27 it's a joke not to buy it.

Check it out. 20 Ways to $100 a Day.

Happy Holidays and Stompernet Videos

Happy holidays to one and all.

Are you satisfied with your online performance for 2007? Did things go as planned? Did you even plan? Do you have a business plan?

I am asking these "provocative" questions to get you to thinking. If you are satisfied with this year's results, keep doing what you've been doing. If not, maybe take a step back and do a reckoning of how your online business is doing (actually, it's good to do a reckoning in any event). Sometimes we get swept along with what we're doing even if it may not be the most profitable thing to do or even if we're doing it not quite the right way.

Have you been focusing on doing one online project at a time? Or do you keep getting sidetracked by new and exciting offers that land in your inbox? Man, just downloading all those freebie gifts that come this time of year takes hours! If you haven't worked that into the schedule you can be totally thrown off (like what is happening to me!!!).

There is so much going on out there. So many new products to check out. We need to set aside specific time in our schedule to keep abreast of what's going on in the world of Internet Marketing. But by no means let this completely take over your day. It's so easy for that to happen.

If you make any new year's resolutions at all, let one of them be that you will strive to focus on one project at a time. And plan, plan, plan. It's too "easy" not to plan. But that can cause us to waste mounds of time.
These are my thoughts at the close of 2007.

Now, for some Holiday cheer.

Go watch this video made by Andy Jenkins from Stompernet. He's going to give you a new piece of software totally FREE. It's called Scrutinizer and will helpyou look at your website with a new pair of eyes - eyes that help you see whatyour visitors see. Then you will be able to make changes in layout in order toincrease your conversions. The video is only 6 minutes long. It's cute and tells you exactly how to get the software.

Also, if you are interested in learning how to triple your conversions, go watch Andy's free Stompernet video on how to do that. It's an excellent and eye opening video.

Once again, Happy holidays to everyone!!

There is quite alot of content in each lesson and Yaro gives lots of homework too. In addition to the lessons Yaro provides tons of other stuff like case studies of members' blogs and all kinds of other audios of blogging experts in the industry.
