Tracking is one of the real keys to improving your business. It was the topic of the very first free report I ever wrote quite a few years ago.

It is one of the things that allows you to improve your business. After all if you do not know what is working it is impossible to improve it.

It is also one of the hardest things for new marketers to understand. One of the topics we cover in our 4 week Beginners Marketing Course Jerry Reeder and I do each Thursday is tracking. It is that important to understand what is actually working.

I just finished the third revision of my original report. Added new resources and how to’s into it for some of the more popular solutions.

You can grab a free copy at Tracking Your Way To Profits.

It will explain how to track your sources but more important how to track through to your ultimate goal. After all traffic is not the key it is traffic that converts that you need to know to be able to really improve your results.

After you grab your free copy you will have the chance to rebrand the book and even get a complete squeeze page system to help you build your own list.

This time next week we will be celebrating Labor Day week end here and it will be the unofficial end of summer. I hope you have had a good one and taken the steps to grow your business as we reach the point where things pick back up.

School will be starting back and more people will be online as the fall season begins. If time keeps moving as fast as it has of late (at least for this old bald guy) it will be Christmas before we know it.

Scary thing is that I actually need to start thinking about getting the snow blower prepped shortly. Not a pleasant thought.

Well to better thoughts lets get into what happened on the blogs this week. I have added a new one this week as Jerry and I have been adding some quality content over at our training blog for Get Referrals Fast.

Yesterday I talked about the need to understand how to put a successful promotion together and I recommended a way to get the training you need through Marlon Sander’s Promo Dashboard.

It is an easy to follow step by step plan.

That being said some people want much more hands on interaction when it comes to their training.

There is another solution that will allow you more interaction because it is taught live by my good friend and one of my mentors Doug Champigny.

Doug has an 8 week live training course to get you going and have your business set up and running.

If you need more accountability and hands on training then this may be the solution that is right for you.

Everybody learns differently and finding the training that will work best for you is important.

I won’t go into every thing that Doug includes in this training as he says it better than I could.

What I will do is tell you that I have taken training from Doug and it will help you get going if you put the effort in

Affiliate Marketing Powerstart

Next class starts in less than 2 weeks.

Both will take your effort as will anything else you try to do but both Doug and Marlon are two people who have helped me to grow my business.

Now go grow yours.

Yesterday I wrote about the launches and today I wanted to talk about the basics of making money on line. I am a big fan of Marlon Sanders and his methods.

What I like is how he cuts to the core as you can see from the quote below.

“Making money online is NOT complex.

You get people on your LIST. You send emails asking ‘em to buy. And if that doesn’t work, you use blog posts, podcasts, videos, Twitterr messages, teleseminars and webinars that ask ‘em to buy.”

Now that is a great overview of the process but of course there are in between steps. Things like…

• Finding your ideal buyer
• Offering them something they really want
• Getting them on to your list

Just for a start.

It doesn’t matter whether you are selling your own product or as an affiliate the process is the same. Get it right and the business can be easy. Miss a step and it can be extremely frustrating to say the least.

Now for some this may seem very basic but I know that the basics are important.

Getting your basics right is one of the keys and too many people miss out on the very first step finding your ideal buyer and where to find them. Skip this (and I have more than once before learning this hard lesson) and you will struggle unless you get lucky.

When it comes to luck I always seem to find Mr Murphy so it is much better for me to not depend on luck.

If you promotions are not going as well as you would like I recommend you check out Marlon’s Promo Dashboard where you can go step by step through all that you need.

Change, change, change…. Yes another song that may get stuck in your head because it sure has been in mine. There is a reason though and it is a change I have made in my business and why.

Less and less am I getting involved in big launches. There is the occasional one that I truly love but for the most part it is more important for people to be building their own business.

Now this is not a knock against big launches. Quite often there are great products being launched. The key is that my readers and subscribers will know about them anyhow (do you really think people listen only to me? – I doubt it.) so why should I add my voice to the overwhelming din.

All too often the launches despite being a quality item don’t fit the bulk of the people (at least my readers and subscribers) but the psychology behind the launch gets everyone salivating for it.

Watch how they sell and what triggers your saliva glands but be aware of what is happening and look at it in relation to your business.

Launches can be a great way to see excellent marketing at play and you should follow them closely as a learning experience.

All too often though the launches are for a phase 3 product when you are beginning at phase one or two.

Look more and more for evergreen products that will help you grow your business. Start with a basic business model where you are solving problems for people. Do that and stay to the basics and then and only then start looking at the more esoteric solutions.

Some may fit and some may not. If you have your basic business up and working then you can look at other models and make a decision as to whether or not they will help you.

Until then take the time to get your basic business going.

Create a way to build your list and build relationships with people. Find solutions to the problems that those people have whether they are your product or affiliate products or even a free report. Help those people and you will have a solid foundation for your business.

So look for more evergreen content here and solutions to problems. Let me know what your problems are in the comments below.

One of the big things that kills the average home business is getting involved in busy work instead of things that grow your business.

There are so many things you can do each day but are they things that are going to grow your business?

All too often you sit down to work and then the email alert goes off, Skype opens with your best bud or you here your Twitter client go off. All of these distractions stop you cold and you react to these instead of doing the thing that you sat down to do. That does not even begin to add in the other things that may interrupt you when you are working at home.

After all if you are home your friends or family feel no remorse in interrupting you.

Every interruption takes you 15 to 30 minutes to get back into the groove.

Now is answering email, using Twitter and networking on Skype always a waste? No but you need to have your golden time when you are doing the things that will grow your business.

These interruptions can make you seem to be extremely busy but at the end of the day you do not complete the tasks you set out to do.

Making sure that you accomplish the things that will grow your business is the key to being successful.

That is one of the reasons that I go through Time Management On Crack each quarter to get back to prioritizing the things that I need to do and recommend that you do too.

It is time and money well invested.

Occasionally I do posts on what I consider evergreen products. There are not a lot of them because all too many products that I see just do not stand the test of time. They may be great but then things change and they no longer are valid. Evergreen products work now and a year or more from now.

Easy Viral PDF Rebrander is definitely one of them.

Now rebranadble ebooks are not new. They have been around for a long time.

A rebrandable ebook was the very first thing I created to start building my list and monetize it at the same time. My partner at the time and I even made quite a bit of money creating thos types of products for others.

There was a problem back then though because the software at the time was really touchy to get working well and the big thing was it only worked on Windows.

If you have affiliates you should be creating ebooks that they can add their affiliate links to to presell your product. Making it easy for your affiliates to do this type of thing will increase your sales.

Personally I love product owners that will allow me to do this especially when they provide quality content that my subscribers will like.

Even if you do not have an affiliate program or your own products you can use viral ebooks to your advantage.

Create a viral ebook and add a link in it where anyone that gets it can add their links to it and give it away once they sign up for your list. Anyone that really likes your content will jump at the chance to spread your report and you get subscribers from places you would never reach easily.

Unlike most there is nothing for people to download and run on their computer. They go to a web page, add their links, push a button and they download the book with their links. It does not get any easier.

You can add that code to any page so you can add bonuses to the page or add it directly into your affiliate tools. You can see what I have done below.

Any affiliate just needs to add their id and download the book right from there. I even added a link to download a squeeze page system to make it even more attractive.

You can see how easy it will make it for your affiliates.

Check out Easy Viral PDF Rebrander and take advantage of the power of viral ebooks.

Saturday in the park I think it … Oops getting into songs instead of what has been happening this week and it has been a busy week. Very busy to say the least.

There has been quite a bit of quality PLR released and two good freebies this week.

Had a blog get hacked and was totally my fault that it happened because of stupidity but I had good backups and it was back to normal in less than an hour and it was locked down much better.

I did go through and lock some of the others up. The good part is that it became the topic for the Profitable Blog Steps upgraded members conference. Now to the blogs this week.
