Review sites in 3 steps

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Review sites are extremely powerful and WordPress is powerful. Combine the two and you have a real power house. That is exactly what Alex Syseof and his partner Dmitry have accomplished with Review Blog System.

They out together a great review theme and added in the option to use their three step install from Expert WordPress if you desire.

Here is how this works for you. If you are comfortable installing WordPress you can just get the theme but if that terrorizes you you can get the theme and their 3 step install to easily get your site set up.

Review Blog System

Now how you can earn from this. After all that is the real key to get you making money from this easily and quickly. Just follow these steps.

Purchase the Review Blog System (or just the Review blog theme if you are familiar with WordPress installation, configuration, etc.) It comes with a guide to help you install and configure it.
Locate a profitable niche that has products in it by doing keyword research.
Look for digital products from Clickbank or PayDotCom as you make higher commissions but would work with other affiliate programs like Amazon or CJ.
Register a domain in that niche and install the blog
Start writing reviews of the various products
Drive traffic to the blog

I have written a whole series on driving traffic to your blog over at WordPress Made Easy.

So if you have been struggling to find a way to generate some extra income there is a plan to get you going.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Review Blog System is back

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Originally launched last week but pulled off the market because of a problem this great product is back. I was really disappointed when it was pulled as it was one of the best products I had seen in a bit. Here is what I said originally about this and congrats to Alex and Dmitry for getting this excellent tool back to help all of us.

One way to easily use a blog for generating cash is to review products.

That works to a point but…

The real key is to get people rating your reviews and making it easy for them to do so.

Think about it. If I write and tell you how much I love or don’t love XYZ you get one opinion and you decide to either believe me or if you are a skeptic (and aren’t we all) you just may be thinking oh yeah he likes it for the money it will generate him.

Well a good review site makes it easy for others to add their ratings good or bad. Come to a site like that and you are much more likely to use it. The more active it is the more likely you are to start using it as a regular resource.

There are numerous sites selling software to create these types of sites but unless you were a bit of a techno-geek you couldn’t do it easily using WordPress.

Alex and Dmiitry have put together a theme and plugin package that will handle all of this for you easily at Review Blog System

They give you two choices too. If you are like me and comfortable creating a blog and adding the pieces you can just get the theme and plugin package.

If you are uncomfortable you can get the whole package including their three step install with the video instructions.

Check out Review Blog System and take the choice that fits you. I did.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Are you taking advantage of the current climate?

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

More and more people are looking at the current economic climate and looking at the internet as a supplement to their income. Bad economic times leave people worrying but it also drives more people to look for those ways to supplement their income.

Some will be looking to replace their jobs but even more will be like my step son. He knows that I work from home full time but never had an interest until now. Why now? He just lost all of his overtime.

Now for the last 5 years he has worked overtime each week. Now it has disappeared. Before that happened he did not want to take any extra time to build anything on line. Now that he is looking at what amounts to a pay cut this now looks interesting.

He is not alone. At a Halloween party last month quite a few people wanted to know how you can actually make money online. Same crew that I see each year but this year the interest has increased tremendously.

One of the ways you can start to reach these people can be through the giveaways. Most people start their research looking for free information. Getting your product in front of these new people and having them subscribe to your list can really help you and you can help them.

I will be taking part in quite a few of them over the next month. The Thanksgiving Giveaway and Santa’s Big Giveaway are just two. Are you going to participate in these type events?

Most people that I talk to in various conferences online and see posting in forums have what they need to participate but may be missing the knowledge to use what they have.

Here is what you need.

An autoresponder account - I recommend AWeber
Hosting account - I recommend Zoot Host
A PLR product that you can give away

Anyone that is serious has the web hosting and autoresponder and most people already have PLR products cluttering their hard drive. The big problem is not knowing how to properly use the PLR.

If that describes you take the time to check out PLR Video Tutorials from Doug Champigny. He can walk you through what to do and if you don’t have any PLR he will also give you 12 bonus PLR e-books too.

So take advantage of all the new people coming on line looking to earn at least a part time income and join the giveaways with me.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Election is over but you can still vote and skim the cream too

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Yesterday was the end of another four year cycle here in the US. We have a new President elect and the process to transfer power will begin immediately.

If you use traffic exchanges for lead generation you can still vote. Affiliate Funnel has just relaunched their traffic ranker. Before I get into the power of this ranker to help you let me explain a few things.

I have been using traffic exchanges for a few years to generate subscribers consistently. If you are looking for new subscribers that have an interest in business building this can be an extremely targeted market place despite what you may hear from some.

See the general demographic of a traffic exchange user is someone looking to generate traffic for free or a low cost for their new make money from home business. Understanding this is the key to using these resources effectively.

They have bought into the dream of various programs that if you just send traffic you can get rich quickly. Now the fact that it does not quite work that way is to your advantage if you can supply them with help for what they want to accomplish.

These people have already raised their hands and said I am interested in having a work at home business or at the least making a few bucks extra each month. Target them properly and you can do well with generating subscribers.

Here is where Affiliate Funnel will help you.

The ranker gives you a listing of the exchanges that are working best for 1000’s of users because they can vote for them
They give you actual stats on what is working with the various exchanges
It allows you to build downlines in the various traffic exchanges
Most importantly it allows you to promote YOUR money making programs to your referrals not the owners
Training conferences 3x a week

So you can get training for yourself and offer training to others while getting access to some of the best stats on what is working in the traffic exchanges, use then to build your subscriber base and grow your business effectively.

Check out Affiliate Funneltoday.

P.S. There are only a few packages of The PLR Gold Videos available at the low launch price. Make sure you grab yours before the price goes up.

Who are you voting for?

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Two things and neither have to do with US politics. Tomorrow is election day and if you are in the US make sure you exercise your privilege. Now to the news.

The first is from Bob The Teacher.

He is hosting a teleseminar tomorrow. He wants to help you grow your business through free reports.

Bob’s actually giving tickets away for free to his subscribers and customers (and their friends), as a special Thank you gift.

With all these huge mega-launches, it’s pretty cool to see him do this.

Election Day Blowout

But there’s something else you should know about what Bob’s doing.

(I know about this because Bob keeps me in the loop…)

In addition to learning from him tomorrow for free, he’s going to be knocking off up to 74% of the price on his internet marketing products.

So if you have a specific area you need help with (like list building, traffic, social networking, etc.), you can get one of Bob’s training courses at least half off.

Anyway, hope this helps you get a momentum boost in your business! Get your free ticket here:

Election Day Blowout

If you can’t be there live for his teleseminar - sign up anyway. He’s giving away the recordings AND the transcripts as an additional thank you gift for his subscribers!

Now to the second voting item

Affiliate Funnel has just updated their Traffic Ranker. If you are using traffic exchanges this will give you access to stats and the opinions of thousands of surfers. You get to vote for the exchanges that work for you.

No more opinion or an agenda you will see the actual stats they are getting plus the rankings are created by the surfers not just one person’s opinion.

Check out Affiliate Funnel and all of the tools to help you. If you are using traffic exchanges this is a must for your business.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Edmund Loh and Steven Luc have just released PLR Gold Videos. Now Edward is one of a handful of marketers that has a stellar reputation for the quality of the PLR products he releases.

Monetizing your list building

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

One of the keys to being able to build a list is the ability to start the monetization right away. Doing this allows you to start automating things because you now have an extra income to pay for more traffic to your squeeze page.

One of the ways to do this is by using a one time offer or OTO as it is known in your subscription process. It does not matter if your leads are coming from using free sources like traffic exchanges, safelists or even giveaways like the current Halloween Giveaway (which only has two more days left).

Having a source of monetization will allow you to ramp up these promotions and save you time. You can take the money generated and buy credits at traffic exchanges, upgrade and mail to more people at safelists or take the upgrades at giveaways like the upcoming Thanksgiving Giveaway to have your gift show higher and generate more subscribers.

The problem if you are starting is having that OTO to add. It takes a bit to create the copy and find or create products that you can offer.

If that is your hold up and you understand that you need ot be doing this you need to check out the Craziest Offer from Ross Goldberg. Ross has gone a bit overboard on this and personally I think he has gone over the edge with this one. Course Ross has always been a bit crazy.

That being said if you understand that you need to be building your list (and if you don’t understand that please rethink whether or not you want to continue trying to build an online business - Yes it is that important) this is a package that can shortcut your process and hand you what you need to add the monetization to your process easily.

If you already have good solid OTO’s in your list building congratulations to you. You are well ahead of most people building their business online. If not though go check out the Craziest Offer and get your process started.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Only 55 days until Christmas - GROAN

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Did you just groan when you read that statement? I know I did. No I am not Scrooge but as I get older Christmas comes quicker and quicker. Now I do enjoy the holiday but the thoughts of shopping and then the January depression when the bills come in are what make me groan.

Yes I know today is Halloween and the Christmas rush is not supposed to start until closer to Thanksgiving. However…

I would much rather make money with Christmas instead of paying or to at least have extra money so the credit card stays in your pocket and you actually have a Happy New Year. Wouldn’t you?

As a marketer you actually can but you need to move fast. You need to get a product or products out in the market place NOW.

A bit of effort right now and some quality products and you can avoid the depression you will have mid January when the Christmas credit card bills start arriving.

Doug Champigny has put together a package of 4 Christmas products with PLR that you can adapt for your self. This is the shortcut you need to be able to be up and running in days instead of weeks.

It includes

Christmas Crafts
250 Christmas Recipes
An Old Fashioned Christmas
History Of An American Christmas
and a special bonus

Check it out ==> Christmas PLR Pack

The good thing is that once you have set these up you benefit not only this year but next year and the year after and the year after that.

Take advantage of this and be celebrating the holidays for years to come.

PLR Gold Videos - get a sneak peek

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The use of videos on the Internet is growing exponentially popular by the day. Did you know that:

- The average person remembers 50% of what he hears and see after 2 weeks? This is compared to just 10% of what the average individual would remember if he had only read.
[Source: Cone of Learning adapted from Dale, 1969]

- Number of online videos viewed in the U.S. alone jumps 13 percent in March 2008 to 11.5 Billion!
[Source: http://www.comscore.com/press/release.asp?press=2223]

I could go on and on. So if you had been limiting yourself to using only written content and selling E-Books as a source of income, there’s a pile money still left on the table!

I’m not implying that E-Books are growing obsolete - they will continue to be around for many years to come. But if you want to double or triple your income and sign ups from your Information Business, you will do well to strongly consider using videos.

You will also find that videos make a better learning tool for many as compared to just learning via reading. Look at the statistic I had just shared, you’ll get the idea. I use videos in a few of my products.

Unfortunately, there is a learning curve in creating good videos This is where the drawback comes in, though there are still so many good reasons to start implementing videos for your business.

Compared to writing an E-book it takes a few skills to develop good videos, and a good synergy at that. You really need to be a good teacher and educator through the videos. Let’s not forget other product creation needs like niche research, sales copy writing, and doing your own graphics.

I’m happy to tell you though, that my marketing friends, Edmund Loh & Stephen Luc, have conceived a shortcut to video creation.

It’s called PLRGold: Videos.

They’ve done all the niche research, video creation, graphics, and sales copy top notch - and they’re throwing in the Private Label Rights to the new titles. So all you have to do is brand and sell them (which they’ll also show how to do)!

Don’t just take my word for it. PLRGold: Videos is scheduled to launch for the first time on 3rd November 2008 at 8AM Eastern Time. But before that, you can get a FREE sneak preview to the Private Label videos

=> Sneak Peek

Let me know what you think!
