Well only one more week and the time changes to daylight savings time here in the US. The days are getting longer and we are looking at possibly hitting the 50’s here tomorrow. May lose a foot or so of that white stuff in the back yard this weekend.
This week I started paring down the people I follow on Google Buzz that do not add quality content and just use it to repeat what they have already said on Twitter. Buzz has some real power and the potential is huge but not as a way to rebroadcast your Twitter tweets. There is the real chance to build solid relationships on Buzz and few are taking advantage of it.
Add in the Google Social Search and there is a real value in adding quality information. Even a brand new item can show on the first page of Google for the people that follow you. To see the real potential on Buzz I do recommend you grab Google Social Search Secrets. I have followed Tinu for a few years and she has been in front of most of the changes for driving traffic and rarely misses. If that is the case here you definitely need to understand this.
My Best Bonus Offer – Unique site that will help you to level the playing field by creating bonus offers for your affiliate marketing. There are a couple other twists you will find when you visit including my special bonus offer if this is for you.
Powerstart 2010 – Still my number one recommendation if you are serious about building a sustainable business and willing to put in the effort. A lot covered in 4 weeks but all is explained and the support is excellent.
50 Free PLR Articles – Was able to get a good friend, Doug Champigny, to give you 50 niche articles with PLR for signing up to his free e-course on using PLR. As Doug is one of the masters of using PLR you win both ways.
Saturday Seven – This week a great report with master resale rights for you – “21 Ways To Raise Fast Cash”. As always just $7 but only through Monday night.
That is all for this week so now back to my new project.

One of the best possible solutions for increasing conversions is to offer a bonus as an incentive.
You can’t just offer any bonus, though. It should be something that is related to the original affiliate offer, and it should be something truly valuable that complements the affiliate product well.
Let’s face it, people love getting “gifts”. Everyone loves free stuff, right?
And if the gift has a very high perceived value, and it goes well with the offer, it will increase conversions like nothing you’ve ever seen!
The right bonus can double, or even triple your conversions. Best of all, bonuses are really simple to provide. Years ago, whenever companies would provide bonuses for their products, it had to be a physical product. Before the internet, there was no way to deliver a digital download. Even software products had to be loaded on disks and shipped.
These days things are much simpler. Digital downloads can be incredibly powerful motivators, especially if they complement the product well.
For example, if you’re promoting a course about making money with blogs, you could offer bonuses such as WordPress themes, blog security plugins, or other similar bonuses.
Not only can bonuses skyrocket your affiliate conversions, but you can also make money via upsells through those bonuses. A really good OTO can make you more money than the affiliate commissions themselves!

If you are a product owner having a free report that people can get to join your list can be a great pre-sell item. The problem is that only you have a vested interest in distributing the report. If you make it so that it can be rebranded with your affiliates links it is much more likely to get wider distribution.
This makes it worthwhile for your affiliates to give the report away and more likely that people will find it and click the links to check out your product. The problem has been that it can be a royal pain in the you know what to set it up and for affiliates to actually do the rebranding.
I first started doing rebranding with a piece of software that was an exe file. You needed to go through multiple steps to get it to work and then it only worked on Windows machines. If someone uses a Mac they could not rebrand your report. Because of all the aggravation very few people went through all of the steps necessary to use these reports.
Kind of defeated the reason for making them rebrandable didn’t it.
That has changed with the rebrander I use now – Easy Viral PDF Brander. It is set up on your web site and can be used by anyone.
You just send people to a web page and they fill in a form and download your report with their links. No complaints that their machine can’t use it.
Here is an example of a report that my affiliates can use. They just fill in their affiliate number, click the rebrand link and download the book with their links in it.
Now to make it even easier I give them a full set of squeeze pages that they can use to build their list and give the report away. Anything I can do to help my affiliates increase their list while promoting my products comes back to me many times over.
If you want to really start leveraging your efforts grab Easy Viral PDF Brander and get your reports to spread further by letting others benefit from spreading your word.

Looked at the calendar today and realized that 2010 is rolling right along. One sixth of the year is already over. Gee where does the time go?
How well are you doing in relationship to your goals?
Are you on schedule or still struggling to get things rolling?
If you are struggling I strongly recommend you check out PowerStart 2010 from Doug Champigny.
This is the new course Doug has put together that will take you by the hand through 4 weeks of lessons and show you exactly what you need to do to start a sustainable business. Having someone tyo mentor you and walk you through the steps can be a huge help.

Week Three will teach you how to drive traffic to your sites using a variety of sources.
Week Four is the secret sauce that will allow you to set up ongoing income streams over and over again.
Stop struggling and check out PowersStart2010 today. I strongly recommend it as you can see from the testimonial I gave Doug below.

Wow been lots of white stuff here to keep me busy and a light coating coming down as I am typing this. Guess I will need to go snow blowing a bit later today.
That and working on a new project has been keeping me quite busy. Jerry Reeder and I will be doing some neat things starting in about 2 to 3 weeks that will help you. It will include a membership site and some very special conferences. Not quite ready but you can get on the access link if you check out List Building Conferences.
I am running a poll on the WordPress blog and the results have been interesting so far. If you have not taken it check it out in the “How Can I Help You” post below and leave your input.
Powerstart 2010 – Just finished Doug’s course and you can get in the March session rights now and I strongly recommend that you do. If you follow the course and put in the effort you will no longer have to guess what to do next and will be on your way to building an ongoing business.
Liz Tomey Workshops – Your chance for a new workshop that you can sell each month done for you by an expert.
Google Social Search Secrets – Seeing what changes Google Buzz has brought to the landscape and how best to benefit from them is invaluable. Tinu is the person to show you exactly how to do just that and you really need to understand what is changing.
Saturday Seven – This week’s special is master resell rights to 7 hot niche reports at the usual low price of just $7 but only until Monday night.
Thats all for this week but look for some interesting information coming out on Monday. It is your chance to be able to compete with the big dogs.
Now back to running the snow blower (Yuck).

This is a rare opportunity to get a “real” PAID report at zero charge to you. (This isn’t one of those deals where someone is giving something away that never was to be sold in the first place, but they pretend it was.)
Jimmy D. Brown is about to shut down his Small Reports Zone site permanently. He’s “retiring” ALL of his current products and services, beginning with this site.
As he was making preparations to shut the site down, he realized that there were several small reports that Nicole and he had planned on adding to the site but never got around to doing it.
In fact, Nicole had a download page and the files prepped for one great report entitled, “The Ultimate Free Traffic Model”. It was originally part of one of Jimmy’s larger products and they had extracted it to sell on the site for $15 along with the other reports.
While he easily COULD have sold hundreds (really thousands) of copies of the report this week as part of his retirement, he decided to give away complimentary copies of this paid report.
Download your copy today. When he shuts down the site on Friday, this freebie will be gone too. No reason why you shouldn’t at least get a copy of it before it’s gone.
*** AND DON’T FORGET ***
This Friday is THE last day to purchase any of his small reports from SR Zone Friday at 10PM Central time he will be shutting the site down and no longer accepting any new orders.
NOTE: My recommendation is that you at LEAST get a copy of his 65-page “operations manual”, Homepreneur Habits. If you spend only $10 all year, this is the best value you’ll find anywhere. Period.
The rest of them are pretty darn good too.
Grab the complimentary copy of the unreleased paid report. And order copies of anything else you want. They’ll all be gone Friday night.

Okay today will be more of a rant than an information post but there are a few things in here that can help you.
“Just because you can” is a very scary statement that can get you in trouble or ruin other wise good things. It is easy to do and I have been guilty on more than one occasion.
The latest is Google Buzz and I have corrected what I was doing “Just because I could” with Twitter. Buzz seems to be at it’s best when conversations start and adding your Twitter feed does not help that.
I removed my Twitter feed from Buzz this morning and will be going through over the next week and paring the people I follow that clutter up Buzz with their tweets. There may be exceptions where tweets are a small percentage of the content they provide but the majority will go away. Active tweeters should keep their tweets off Buzz me included.
I am active on Twitter and I love Twitter but..
It just does not seem to work well on Buzz at least in my opinion. Connecting it just clutters up the time line and makes it hard to find the real conversations worth participating in.
Now that being said I still have a link to my Twitter account in the sidebar so that people that find me on Buzz can get it access to it if they want it.
Now connecting content venues such as your blog posts, new videos and that type of content adds value but 140 characters and short conversations creates more clutter than value.
That is my opinion and I would love to hear yours.

Been extremely busy and fortunately this week I did not lose a lot of time to dealing with the white stuff although more is forecast for this Monday evening. All in all a normal February here in Pennsylvania.
Finishing up the third week of Powerstart 2010 class and improving some of the things that I do from it but really impressed with what some of the new members of the class have been able to accomplish. Highly recommend it if you are struggling to get your business going.
It has been interesting to see how Google Buzz has taken off and working on ways to use it even more effectively. Grab the free report Quickly And Easily Get More From Google Buzz (no opt in needed) but I do recommend you get on the update list for it. Already creating notes to improve it.
Google Social Search Secrets – A very good product that you must grab and take the time to watch at a very low price from one of my mentors.
Traffic Exchange Solutions – If you use traffic exchanges this is a must read book from someone who has used traffic exchanges effectively for over 10 years.
Special Reports Zone – Jimmy D Brown is retiring these reports and running a special price ($10 each) before they go away forever.
Market Me Tweet – A paid twitter application that allows you to add your links, set up automated replies and schedule your tweets. Will be talking about this much more this week but you can grab it now.
Liz Tomey Workshops – A new site from Liz Tomey with resell rights and coaching included for a very low price. Get it before the rice increases.
Saturday Seven Special – This week’s product is Social Traffic Profits with Master Resell Rights. As always only $7 but is removed Monday night so grab it now.
Thats all for this week and remember that if you are looking for a true step by step plan and personal mentoring to check out Powerstart 2010. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I just got word from Jimmy D. Brown that he is shutting down his Small Reports Zone site on February 26th at 10PM.
That’s right, ALL of his small reports at the site will NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE for purchase after that date.
You may have heard by now, but just as a reminder, Jimmy is “retiring” (IE Removing them from the web and no longer selling them) ALL OF HIS OFFERS…all of his reports, ebooks, membership sites, coaching programs, software programs, etc.
He’s beginning with all of his SR Zone reports. These short, meaty, low-cost reports are a gold mine of quality content for internet marketers.
Here’s a list of what’s available…
1. Piggyback Launches: 3 Sure fire Ways To Get A Steady Stream Of Free Traffic For Any New Product
2. Homepreneur Habits: How To Run A Successful Home Business
3. How To Get Free Traffic To Your Website With Ezine Articles
4. How To Get F.R.E.E. Traffic with PLR Reports
5. 8 Irresistible Ways To Get Super Affiliates To Enlist In Your Sales Army
6. How To Improve Your Information W.R.I.T.I.N.G.
7. The Upsell Report: How To Get Customers To Spend More Money
I’m sorry to see Jimmy shut down this site, but I’m glad he’s giving us all a few days to grab up copies of these gems before he pulls the plug.
**BEST PART**
The REALLY good news is this: as part of this “goodbye”, Jimmy is discounting the price of EVERY report to only $10 each!
This makes these reports affordable for everyone, even those on a strict budget. It would be smart to order a copy of each of these.
I *STRONGLY* recommend you grab a copy of “Homepreneur Habits”. It’s a 65-page “operations manual”. In it, Jimmy takes you “behind the scenes” to look at how he runs his own business, complete with photographs of his home office. He tells you what software programs he uses, tools and equipment he uses and even a schedule of tasks he performs. At only $10, it’s a no-brainer! EVERY internet marketer should have a copy!
To read through a complete description of each report, visit the SR Zone site by clicking the link below:
REMEMBER, you only have a limited time to order any of the small reports that you are interested in. On February 26th at 10PM the site will be shut down. No joke!
