I’ve been investigating the pros and cons of building a
membership site and the strategies required to make
it effective.

The 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway presented me
with some free resources in this area:
http://www.hunteridge.com/12days/index.php?id=1664

I have also just purchased a video series on developing
a membership site for a grand cost of $1.85. I know this
video series is increasing in price on a daily basis and the
last time I looked it was $2.40.

So if you are interested, check it our here:
http://www.membershipmastery.squidoomarketingstrategies.com/

The videos cover installation of the highly acclaimed, full
membership software
developed by Amember, but are of
value for any membership software.

Don’t be deceived by the low price – the videos cover 8 important
areas including planning your site, set-up, protection and
review. The ZIP file is quite large and will take some time
to download.

It’s certainly well worth a look:

I know one of the many things I will be learning about in the
New Year!!

Best wishes for 2008!

Build your own membership site

Google is like the Holy Grail of marketing on
the web. Rank well in Google and your profits
are pretty much set.

But there is SO MUCH bogus information out there,
often coming from the “gurus” themselves.

On January 9th, 2008, Jonathan Leger (originator
of the $7 ebook script) is releasing a new
FREE report that completely obliterates
the following myths about Google (and then
goes on to show you what DOES work):

Myth #1: Google Knows All and Sees All
Myth #2: Google Will Not Rank Duplicate Content
Myth #3: You Must Get Links From Related Subject
Sites to Rank
Myth #4: Your Site Must Focus On One Subject To Rank
Myth #5: High PageRank Means Good Rankings
Myth #6: To Maintain Good Rankings,
You Must Add New Content

..and..
MYTH #7: THE BIGGEST MYTH: Ranking In Google Is Hard!

The site is in pre-launch now, but if you sign
up early you will get a sample chapter full of
proof and details.

And did I mention he’ll pay you for referring
other people to this powerful f.ree report?
And that he’ll pay you for anyone THEY refer
as well (even while it’s in pre-launch)?
Find out more about that when you download
your sample chapter from:

http://www.searchenginemyths.squidoomarketingstrategies.com

There has been a lot of discussion on the web lately
about Myth N0. 5 – high ranking = high positioning
in Google results. Most blog commentators agree that
this is not necessarily so. Jonathan Leger
goes one step further in his Preview Chapter
to give unquestionable proof that Myth No. 5 is in
fact a MYTH:

Viral Marketing Giveaway – FREE resources

Mark over at 45n5.com asks a very common question we hear; which is better, having Adsense on a page or utilizing affiliate links? My advice would be that it completely depends on the type of page you are designing. If it’s a topic that people are gathering information, or doing some research, then Adsense would seem to fit.

One of Mark’s commenter’s noted that they had a luxury homes page up where affiliate links didn’t do very well, however Adsense earned quite a bit of money. This would make sense, as I don’t imagine many people would click on an affiliate link and make any purchase related to luxury homes just from a website.

Now, if you are designing a page targeting people who are in a buying mood, well this is where the affiliate links become very powerful. If you design your site as a funnel, directing people to make a purchase through affiliate links, this should be more effective than simply putting up Adsense ads. If you have a page with a bunch of informational content and articles, then try out Adsense. Give people something to click on in their search for more information.

In either case, if one isn’t working out well for you, nothing other than a little effort prevents you from trying out the other.

Alex Jeffreys has released his
118 page FREE ebook that explains
how he built an online income in
excess of $100,000 in 12 months.

Post Launch Profits is really about strategy

- how to build your online business for success.
It’s very encouraging, sincere and challenging – it can
nurture you and at the same time take you outside
your comfort zone.
This ebook takes you through the 6 steps that Jeff
took to earn a 6 figure income and set himself up
for a 7 figure income in 2008.
He emphasises simplicity, action and leverage.
If you are planning to launch your own product, there’s
heaps here on product launching, creating JV partners
and recruiting affiliates.
Even if you are not planning your own product launch,
there is heaps of common sense about building an online
business.
Besides JV partners and affiliates, Alex stresses the power
of leveraging through increasing traffic conversion,
improving website conversion rates, getting organised,
goal setting and outsourcing.
He emphasises that no matter what your level of
business is you need to get organised (or you will not
be able to get to the next level).
There were 42 comments on his blog about how useful
the information has been. When you see people take
the effort to write long thank you’s, you know there is
value in the product (…and it’s free!). When you see
people saying, “I am going back to read the ebook a
second and third time…”, you know it’s full of wisdom:
Alex has a one time offer (OTO) with his free ebook,
and each of the 7 associated bonuses has incredible
value in its own right – I am working through my
bundle now. One of the bonuses from Jeff Dedrick has
audio/video interviews with 25 of the top internet
marketers plus…..
Alex also provides a free affiliate program that pays you
75% of the One Time Offer and heaps of affiliate resources
to assist your promotions.
NOTE: On Alex’s affiliate promotion resources page, he
has over 90 social bookmarking sites hyperlinked
for your benefit – why not promote the product this
way and also promote your squidoo lens/blog as well.
From this page alone, you will also learn multiple ways
to increase the traffic to your Squidoo lens/blog. His ebook
also covers traffic generation methods:
Here’s some quotable quotes from Alex:
Always look at the positive sside and leverage the opportunity
of your competition by Joint Venturing with them.
I don’t work in my business, I work ON my business.
There’s no magic hat here folks this does take time.
If you are not already organised at the stage you are at
now, how on earth do you plan on building a 6 or even
7 figure income?
I’m a product of my productivity.
….and at each stage he explains exactly what he did and
how he did it!
The whole ebook echoes what Yarok Starak calls the
“80-20 rule” – concentrating your efforts on the 20% of
things that bring you 80% of the income.
I try to put this principle into practice by asking myself each
day, “What are the two or three things I can do today that
will advance my business goals the most?” As I am only
working part-time on my internet business, I have to be
strategic. Once you start thinking this way, it becomes a habit
…and you get better at it.
Here’s to your success in building your online business in 2008
- I know that I will be using this ebook as a blueprint for my
efforts in 2008:

The Secret to Online Success – FREE

Have you ever wished you could place small FREE classified ads quickly and have them appear on other people’s sites – yes, for FREE?

You need AdsVert. Placing the ads on your site makes better use of the traffic “you already have”, every time a person visits your page your ad will be shown three times on other peoples websites, this in-turn can gain you extra visitors you didn’t previously have.

If somebody clicks on an ad that is displayed on your website, then it will open the ad in a new window, this gives the person the opportunity to carry on interacting with your site as well as interacting with the advertised site.

Also by displaying ads on your website you are also promoting your AdsVert affiliate link, if somebody joins AdsVert via your link you get an instant bonus and earn a percentage of their impressions, this gives your sites even more exposure and increases the chances of new target traffic visiting your sites.

There has been a lot of discussion lately on the Squidoo
forum about changes to the criteria for lensrank.

Most contributors indicate that Squidoo has now given
more weighting to traffic to your lens in determining
your Lensrank.

So I have been exploring ways to get more traffic to
my key lenses.

I discovered lately that I am having success with
the free Viral Link Tracker progam.

Here are the few simple steps involved:

1. Transform Your Squidoo lens link to a

“Viral Tracking” link

You enter the URL of your Squidoo lens in the

Viral Link Generator and bingo you have a new viral
link which displays you lens PLUS an adblock with
three ads.
2. Create Your own ads to drive traffic to
your Squidoo lens
A very simple process of writing a few lines
or uploading an image and adding your
Squidoo lens URL.
3. Promote and use your new viral tracking
link – for a double benefit

This promotes two things for you – it promotes your lens
and your viral link tracker affiliate ID.

4. Earn free adcredits and advertising

Your viral link also displays three ads that generate
adcredits for you when someone clicks on them.
I have been astounded at the clickthrough rate on these
ads. Here’s today’s stats:
Ad Displays Today – 1464
Link Clicks Today 471

5. Get VIRAL and Watch YOUR TRAFFIC EXPLODE

You also get adcredits when your affiliates’ links get
clicked. Your viral link above advertises your
affiliates for you and they are creating adcredits for
you …and so it goes on.
…and an ADDED BONUS for YOUR LIST BUILDING
I have placed a link on my lens to enable people to sign up for
my email course. This is above the fold (so that it displays on
the first page of my lens). When I promote my viral link,
I not only promote my lens, I am also promoting my
free ecourse.

Excerpt from:
Getting traffic to your Squidoo lens

To make lots of money in affiliate marketing, you need a mailing list. Unless you have unlimited funds to buy targeted lists, this will take you a long time to build -and probably much wasted money in the wrong list building services.

Do yourself a favour and look at Co-Op Lists. You’ll reach 200+ subscribers a month on a co-op mailing list, as well as be able to take advantage of an entire network of related lists.

So, no BS. What do you get from a Co-Op Lists membership?
# You choose the niche for your list
# An email list of 2,400 prospects who opted in to YOUR list
# 200 super-fresh leads added monthly
# 100% profits from all your mailings
# 30% commission from your referrals
# A free report you can use to position yourself as an expert
# 15,000 solo ad exposures
# Targeted traffic driven to you by a Search Engine Expert
# An automated system run your list
# Access to exclusive mastermind groups
# Access to our exclusive forum
# Access to a powerful JV system (priceless value!)

Don’t confuse this with many list building services that are way over-hyped. Co-op Lists is the first service utilizing the highest quality opt-in subscribers where your subscribers opt-in specifically to your offers.

On top of that, there are even paid customer leads and leads from Adwords campaigns worked in through products that Co-op Lists sells specifically for your list with them. Throw that in with top quality co-reg leads and you have one amazing package
Within one year, you could have over 2,400 new high quality subscribers on your co-op list alone and several times that in your network that you can use.

The potential here is huge. However, you shouldn’t expect to see results overnight, as this is NOT a get rich quick scheme. The idea here is solid – your list WILL grow on autopilot and your network of related lists will grow as well. The longer you’re a member, the larger your list will grow and the larger your network will become.

As such, you shouldn’t expect to see amazing results your first month, as your list is just starting out. By the end of the first month, you should have around 200 high quality subscribers to your list. You can’t expect to make a fortune off of this, but when you take into account your network (600 the first month for 3 related mailing lists or 2000 subscribers for 10 related mailing lists), you can start to see the potential.

I think you will be pleased to see a complete new twist on list building from 3 people that have combined over 150k people on their email lists, so they know what they are talking about.

My previous post on Co-Op Lists has full details.



Have a look at Co-op Lists before your competitors do!

Sorry, I am a bit slow off the mark this year.

This is the original and one of the best internet
marketing giveaways.

I have been involved with this for a number of years
and the quality of the gifts is first rate.

It will be even better this year as you can only offer
a gift if you have 2,500 or more on your mailing list.

So I would check it out:
http://www.hunteridge.com/12days/index.php?id=M1664

You might be a bit overwhelmed by the number and
quality of the gifts …even though they only release a number
of new gifts each day (for 12 days).

I’ve found in the past the best way to tackle these
Giveaways is to identify some area you are working
on or want to focus on and collect all the resources
you can on that topic. Otherwise your energy can
become very dissipated and you will lose focus.

Then again, you should not pass up that resource
that you really must have….

Christmas Giveaway – Free Downloads

I am asked one or more of the following questions about Internet marketing almost everyday:
“Isn’t it TOO LATE to start an Internet Business?”
“Can ANYONE really start an Internet business?”
“C’mon, aren’t all those earnings claims just hype and lies?”
Those are great questions and I’m so glad that you are asking them!

It proves that you’re nobody’s fool and won’t fall for the bogus business opportunity crap that is so widely sold by people who have never made a dime online.

So, let’s look at the answers, one by one.

“Isn’t it TOO LATE to start an Internet Business?”
According to Internet World Stats, the number of Internet users in March 2007 was 1,114,274,426.

The image below shows the breakdown of Internet Users by World Region.

Again, according to Internet World Stats, current users represent only 16.9 percent of the total population. Furthermore, Internet usage grew by 208.7% from 2006 to 2007.

Here’s an example of a specific market trend. According to Lee Vann, founder of San Diego–based Hispanic marketing company Captura Group, one of the fastest growing markets online is the Hispanic group. Mr. Vann reported that there are 16.5 million Hispanics online, or about 55 percent of the Hispanic adult population. He also noted that “the Hispanic market was growing at an annual rate of 12 percent, or 1.8 million Hispanic users who have come online between January 2006 and January 2007,” he said.

Growth, growth and still more growth!

Do you see the potential? More Internet Users = Traffic to YOUR Site = Customers = SALES

Do your homework. Research the markets in which you are most interested, watch those trends and seize the opportunity!

In other words, NO, it’s NOT too late to start an Internet business!

In the next article we’ll look at the answer to the question, “Can ANYONE start a successful Internet business?”

Debunking the Hype about Online Business

According to one report, total sales generated through affiliate networks in 2006 was £2.16 billion in the UK alone. MarketingSherpa’s research team estimated that, in 2006, affiliates worldwide earned $6.5 billion in bounty and commissions from a variety of sources in retail, personal finance, gaming and gambling, travel, telecom, education, publishing and forms of lead generation other than contextual ad networks such as Google AdSense. (Source: Wikipedia)

So, if this sounds like an area of income in which you would like your piece of the pie, you do not want to waste time, joining the wrong programs, listening to people who are just lining their pockets, reading out-dated ebooks etc. You could join a course and there are plenty of people who will sell you a training course for hundreds if not thousands of $$$.


I suggest you learn from someone who really knows what she is talking about and can prove her affiliate income. That someone is Rosalind Gardner who excels as an affiliate marketer. She says,

“Since I quit my day job as an air traffic controller in 2000, I’ve earned 100% of my income online. In 2002, I earned a whopping $436,797 US in affiliate commissions (then worth $657,801 CDN). Now, in 2007 I earn much more than that as an affiliate!”

To help others make serious money in Affiliate Marketing, she offers her Super Affiliate Handbook. Here are just some of the contents:

* 233 information-packed pages of practical tips and real-life examples of WORKING affiliate sites (Note: After reading the Super Affiliate Handbook, the Affiliate Manager at Match.com decided to recommend the Handbook to her other affiliates.)
* “How To” strategies to save you money, time, and effort while building your affiliate marketing business.
* An easy-to-understand 5-step overview of the business-building process.
* Discover the top 25 mistakes that ‘normal’ affiliates make and how to AVOID them.
* How to create a web site that keeps visitors coming back for more.
*29 ways to market your affiliate sites online and off.

The list goes on. You will learn about Keywords and Niche products Marketing, blogs, Contextual advertising and way more.

To make sure that the information is always up to date, anyone buying the book becomes a member and receives updates.

You won’t believe the low price for all this incredible information.

Click here to read about the Super Affiliate Handbook then decide whether you want to invest in a fast start to your Affiliate Marketing or spend a couple of years following the wrong information, paying out more than you are earning. The choice is yours.

How to Make Serious Money in Affiliate Marketing

Viral Link Tracker is a superb viral traffic tool.

I have been using this free tool for about two weeks
now and it certainly is viral.

The more you use it the more your credits and exposure
grows.

Each person you recruit starts earning credits for you
and exposure for your ads.

It all grows before your eyes and the stats are great -
you can actually see what is happening and adjust your
strategy so easily.

What is Viral Link Tracker?

Viral Link Tracker does three core thinks – it creates viral
advertising, link cloaking and conversion tracking.

I want to just concentrate on the viral advertising here as
this is the core function of Viral Link Tracker.

How does the viral advertising work?

Viral Link Tracker
creates a block of three
unblockable
pop-up ads whenever a viral link is
clicked on or displayed (e.g. via a traffic exchange or
ad promotion).

The header of the adblock includes your Viral Link Tracker
affiliate ID – so the ads can generate new downline members for
you.

Each time a link in the adblock is clicked you get 10 Ad credits.

Each time your a link in the adblock of one of your affiliates
is clicked, you get 5 credits.

So, here’s what is happening -
* you are getting adcredits when you advertise your VLT links
* you are automatically recruiting downline members
* your downline members are automatically giving you adcredits
* your downline members are generating their own downline members
….and so it goes on and on.

How Do You Set It Up

1. Convert your links (website, blogs, squidoo lens) to
viral link tracker links (so that the adblock is shown each
time your link is displayed).

2. Create your ads (you can have mulitple ads) – this is very
easy. (Diamond members can use html and images!!!)

3. Start promoting your viral links (which will also promote
your website, blog or squidoo lens).

Benefits of Upgrade

Upgrade to Diamond membership will get you
20,000 free ad credits and viral ad credits from
3 levels of your downline. You also get to create ads that
have images and you can use html.
