Internet Marketing 2.0 - Woofers Becoming Tweeters!

2008-05-05T02:27:00.005-04:00

Yes, it's true - woofers are becoming tweeters in record numbers as a result of the Web 2.0 site Twitter.com. More and more of the Internet marketing 'Big Dogs' are posting a few times a day on Twitter, where the mini-blog posts are called 'tweets'.

But while definitely a Web 2.0 community site, it's value is quite different to the Internet marketing community. Tweets are limited to 140 characters, so all messages have to be kept brief - no long-winded sales pitches here. And, unlike the other Web 2.0 sites, Twitter uses a 'nofollow' tag, preventing the search engines from considering your posts as one-way links back to your sites, and preventing them from spidering a new site based on your links there.

So if there's no search engine optimization benefits to posting a link there, why are virtually all of the big-name Internet marketers taking the time to read posts and post their own information on Twitter? From what has transpired there so far, it would seem there are three main reasons to use Twitter in your Internet marketing efforts.

First up, your core followers can click a link to 'follow' you on Twitter, meaning they can read everything you post there from their own Twitter page. this makes for an easy way for fans to keep up with what you're up to, and also to contact you either via replies to your tweets or by direct messaging. With so many Internet marketing mavens being completely swamped with e-mails and support desk issues, this might well become a standard means of contact with the otherwise unreachable superstars of Internet marketing.

Secondly, many of the tweets are quite simple and unrelated to business - 'taking the kids to the park' or 'off to see the new James Bond flick'. This allows people to see a more human side of big-time Internet marketers, to see they're just like the rest of us but with a bigger budget. This 'human connection' aspect may yet turn out to be the biggest part of the Twitter advantage, since the online world can seem quite cold and austere to those not overly experienced in the online world in general and Internet marketing in particular.

And thirdly, because you can reply to tweets of the people you're following there, Twitter is rapidly becoming an easy solution for those in Internet marketing to stay in touch, to reach out to each other, and to maintain a sense of community between the live Internet marketing events. Spread out around the globe, many Internet marketers see each other only once every year or two, and often not even that frequently - many never meet their Internet marketing partners and compatriots in the offline world at all.

But so far Twitter does the best job of overcoming that hurdle, creating a sense of community that extends from the biggest internet marketing and affiliate marketing superstars right down to the newest of newbies - and as such may well also become the industry's top resource for meeting, cultivating and recruiting future Internet marketing Joint Venture partners as well.

To put Twitter to use in your internet marketing or affiliate marketing arsenal, start by setting up a free account there using your real name (for branding and so others can find you easily), and then clicking the links to follow the posts of those Internet marketers you're most interested in. Get a feeling for the common posts there, and soon you'll be tweeting along with the best of them - and you'll see your following growing right along with the list of Internet marketers you're following there too.

Happy Tweets!

Making Money Online With Resell Rights

2008-05-01T11:35:00.004-04:00

Resell Rights 2.0 Domination - Using Web 2.0 community social sites as part of your Internet marketing, affiliate marketing or niche marketing attack is the best route to making money online - but first you have to have great products to sell online - and great sites to sell them from. Here, Web 2.0 expert Doug Champigny discusses Resell Rights 2.0 Domination, which launches today at http://resell-rights-2.0-domination.com/.
====================

So, you're looking to make money online? Lots of money - and quickly? You're not alone - that's the hopes and dreams of thousands of new Internet marketers, niche marketers and affiliate marketers each year.

Most learn in very short order that the fastest way to have products to sell online is with Resell Rights - products you buy that allow you to turn around and resell them from your own site as well.

By using resell rights products, you eliminate the need to create your own products - you simply download the products that you want to sell online on your own sites. But the trouble is there are always a lot of other marketers buying those same resell rights products, and while only 10% of those who buy them will ever actually get them online, that still means competition from those people who are selling those same resell rights products.

So what makes the difference between people making millions of dollars a year online with resell rights products and those who never succeed online? Generally speaking, there are 3 key elements separating the two.

The Three Keys to Resell Rights Success

First and foremost, you have to have great resell rights products and salespages - truly offering great value from a website that converts a good amount of your targeted traffic into buyers;

Secondly, you need to be building an opt-in list from the people viewing your sites, as you already know these people are interested in the types of products you sell on your sites.

And thirdly, you have to learn to drive massive targeted traffic to your salespages, using conventional search engine optimization along with the powerful new Web 2.0 techniques (blogging, social sites, community sites, forums, etc).

While that all sounds pretty simple and basic, take a look at the sites you yourself have online selling resell rights products - are they all great products, truly useful to your online community? Are you building an opt-in list of people interested in buying products with resell rights? And finally, how much effort have you put into promoting those salespages online?

Chances are that little 3-question audit can show you where you're missing out on the massive sales figures and massive profits that some Internet marketers make consistantly from reselling products online - and detail the course of action you need to follow to find your own Resell Rights Success!

===========================
Web 2.0 expert Doug Champigny has been using Master Resell Rights products mixed in with his own e-books and services to make hundreds of thousands of dollars online over the last few years. For great resell rights products Doug recommends Resell Rights 2.0 Domination, and for all the info on how to use Web 2.0 tactics to get buyers to your sites see his Massive Traffic Bootcamp.

How To Succeed Online

2008-04-21T03:52:00.004-04:00

Internet Marketing is not rocket science - in fact, I would guess the average Grade 10 grad can succeed online with Internet Marketing, if they're shown the right path to follow, and have the motivation, desire and focus to stay with it and persevere til they are successful online!

You see, when it comes to making money online, my coaching & mentoring programs have shown me that people getting into Internet marketing fall into one of three groups, generally.

The vast majority of Internet marketing newbies will pay attention and stick to their plan until something catches their attention. As a result, they experience some Internet marketing success, unless they're following the advice of too many people, in which case they tend to hop around all over the online marketing landscape, spending a lot of money and expending a lot of energy without seeing any real success at any of it. Unfortunate, but true.

The second group of people trying to make money online tend to be a bit older, and have previously achieved success in fields other than marketing in the offline world. They listen politely to their success coach and/or Internet marketing mentor as he or she explains how they became successful online, and what steps the newbie must follow to achieve that first true measure of successful Internet marketing, usually in the affiliate marketing or niche marketing arenas.

They then calmly explain they have no intention of doing it that way, but will do it their own way right from the start. In essence, they intend to bend the entire Internet community to THEIR idea of what should and shouldn't be happening online, instead of realizing that the web is dynamic, growing and totally beyond ANYONE'S control.

If you share their attitudes toward Internet marketing, take my advice and stay in the offline world to make your living. Offline business models usually don't translate well online if they don't originate in the marketing industry, and I have yet to see any of this group, regardless of the amount of help given, make even $100 in their first 6 months, if ever.

Please understand before even venturing out onto the seas of Internet marketing that the web is still in it's infancy, fighting surges within itself, and rolling on forward like a Tsunami, making short work of anyone and anything that gets in the way of it's progress or tries to harness it's path or power. Like any big wave, their are only two methods to deal with it safely - stay out of the water til it passes, or study it, know it, and use experience with smaller waves to build up the expertise to ride the wave in an exhilerating rush, gathering cash all along the way!

One of my personal business heroes is an author who shaped a lot of my early marketing career, Robert Ringer, the most successful self-published business author in history. He likened true to success to a parade, saying that 2% are in the parade, 8% are watching the parade, and the other 90% don't even realize a parade exists. Thirty years later, this could just as easily be said of those in Internet marketing.

And that brings us to the third group, the rarest of the Internet marketing newbies. They're easy to spot - they're the ones who seem to come out of nowhere and suddenly land in the 'successful Internet Marketing circles', not yet big dogs but easily observed to be heading there quickly. If you've been 'playing' at Internet marketing or making a half-hearted effort for some time now, you've probably wondered how they shoot by you so easily...

First, they're smart - they pay attention to what their coach or mentor tells them, and to what they see of that expert's current operation. They're not really interested in how their coach GOT to that lofty position - they intend to skip all the trial & error, all the mistakes and mis-steps their mentor made - and just imitate what actually works!

Secondly, they're inquisitive. They do their best to understand WHY Internet marketing tactics work, why certain strategies pay off big time while others flop. They watch what the big dogs are doing and, rather than following it blindly, ask their coach or mentor why this Internet marketing hotshot or that super-affiliate is doing what they are, and what they're liable to achieve from it. Also, whether it's something they should be incorporating in their own Internet marketing processes.

Thirdly, they're innovative. They take that new-found knowledge and set up systems that will bring in the bucks, all the while looking for ways to improve the systems, to add in additional income streams and, eventually, to eclipse their coach or mentor. And any coach or mentor worth their salt LOVES that, and brags about that person incessantly... ;)

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they stay focussed and ACTIVE. Not content to just maintain the status quo, they're constantly looking to improve their Internet marketing processes, acheive Super-Affiliate status and show up on the JV leaderboards, and are CONSTANTLY building their opt-in lists. You see them running giveaways, networking at the social sites and the live internet marketing events whenever they can, and creating products by interviewing those more successful than themselves, knowing it's a very powerful way to learn from the best while making money at it!

This third group, albeit the smallest fraction of the online world, are still part of today's newbies. But they are tomorrow's Big Dogs - and the next day's Internet marketing superstars, the marketing gurus who pull down millions a year from Internet marketing, affiliate marketing and niche marketing empires others envy so openly. These are tomorrow's versions of the Stephen Pierces, the Marlon Sanders, the Ken MacArthurs, the Joel Comms, the Rich Schefrens, the Liz Tomeys and the Jimmy D Browns who rule the online world today.

So take that immortal advice - 'Know Thyself' - and realize upfront which of the three groups you currently fit into. If it's either of the first two groups, you have a decision to make. Consciously change your attitudes toward making money online in general and Internet marketing in particular, or stick to using the Internet for pleasure use.

If you feel you fall into that third group, or can adapt to the necessary changes to reach that headspace, then I recommend you start following my 'How To Succeed Online' series that started this week. It's not philosophical, it's not theory, it's a down-and-dirty action plan to get you up and running and into the profit zone as quickly as possible in your own Internet marketing and affiliate marketing business.

I truly and honestly hope to see you at the top, and hope to play some small role in helping your meteoric climb to the pinnacles of Internet marketing and the amazing lifestyle we enjoy thanks to our success!

Wishing you the best that life offers,

Doug Champigny,
Internet Marketing Coach, Mentor & Speaker.

Affiliate Marketing Basics: Let’s Talk About Traffic

When you’re just getting starting in Affiliate Marketing, one of the most important things you need to learn about is traffic – specifically what it is and how to get it.

Why?

Because although it’s become somewhat of a cliche these days, the truth is, “the money is in the list” – but that means YOUR list, not the list of the people whose products you’re selling – at least not if you want to be successful.

Here’s why. As an affiliate, your job is to find people who want to buy the products you’re promoting, right? So to do that, you need to write an ad (or hire a copywriter to write it for you), and send people to a Website where they can buy the product.

BUT – there’s a serious problem with using this method. Do you see what it is?

Anywhere from 60 to 95% of the people you send to the sales page probably aren’t going to buy the first time.

1. Most people want to be certain that they’re making the right decision, so they usually need to see or hear from you between 5 to 12 times before making a buying decision.

2. If you’re paying for the ad and sending people to the seller’s Website, the ones who don’t buy disappear forever. (And neither you nor the seller will benefit.)

3. Of those who do buy, if you’re only sending them to the sales page, YOU still lose them forever because you have no way of knowing who they are.

Here’s the solution:

1. Write your ad and send prospects to a well-written squeeze page – YOUR squeeze page. (A squeeze page is a single page Website that has one purpose – to convince prospects to give you their contact information. Squeeze pages should be simple – no flash, no links, and if you use a graphic or photo, keep it simple and make sure it relates to the purpose of the page. How do you convince prospects to give you their contact information? By giving them information that is what they’re expecting to find and that’s useful to them.)

2. Offer them an incentive to give you their contact information. (This could be a free report, a free newsletter, an audio or video product – just make sure it’s related to the niche or affiliate product.)

3. After they’ve opted in to your autoresponder, send them to your affiliate sales page.

4. Follow up with them on a regular basis – mixing good information, free bonuses from time to time and additional affiliate products.

Lather, rinse, repeat. (Once you’re making money from your first affiliate product, move on to the next and then the next and the next.)

The best thing about this is that you can set most of it up on your autoresponder, so you turn it into a “system” and it runs “almost” on autopilot. (There is NO SUCH THING as a business that runs 100% on autopilot – and don’t believe anyone who tells you differently.) Any business – real business – takes work and effort. But by setting this system up this way, your autoresponder does the majority of the work, and you will only need to do simple updates and make sure you keep fresh information flowing.

Are You Making These Top Three Affiliate Marketing Mistakes?

If you’re new to affiliate marketing, there are a few things that you need to know about marketing your affiliate products – because if you get these wrong, chances are, you’re never going to make more than a few sales.

Affiliate Marketing Mistake #1: Choosing the Wrong Product

This is a biggie, and probably one of the biggest mistakes that new affiliate marketers make. How do you choose the best affiliate products?

There are several ways. You could choose products based on their popularity (check out clickbank to see what I mean.) Or you could choose products based around your current business. (For example, if you run a business such as a beauty parlor, you could find a number of affiliate products…what about a book on hairstyles for weddings, or proms or braids? Or you could sell a beauty book, or a book on skin care. There are also physical products that you could sell. The point is to look for affiliate products that complement what you’re already selling.

You could also choose affiliate products based on how much commission you’ll make – but think carefully before choosing this as your top method of deciding what products you want to sell. Finding quality products should always be your top concern – because if the products you’re selling are garbage, the end result is that while you might make sales, you’re also going to get lots of refund requests – which means you’ll end up in the hole.

Affiliate Marketing Mistake #2: Marketing the Product the Wrong Way

We’ve all seen the ads that say “Make a Million Dollars with No Product and No Website” – those ads are usually about affiliate marketing.

But think about it for a minute. If you could REALLY do that – wouldn’t everybody be doing it? That old saying that “if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is” holds true when it comes to affiliate marketing.

The best way to market any affiliate product is to sell it where the customers are. Which means that you need to know who your prospective customers are. You need to find out as much information about them as possible – what they want, what their greatest fears are, what solution they’re looking for. Then you need to know where they shop – if your affiliate marketing product is for consumers, then you’ll want to know where your prospect shops, what magazines they read or what Internet pages they visit. Where do they hang out? If you’re selling to business owners, then you’ll have to find out where they do business at. And again, market your affiliate products there.

Affiliate Marketing Mistake #3: Not Writing the Right Kind of Sales Copy

Although it’s not absolutely necessary to hire a professional copywriter (especially if you’re just starting out and money is tight), it is necessary that you learn the basics about copywriting and write sales copy that will appeal to your market.

One of the first things you need to do is to “Continue the conversation that your prospect is already having inside their head. That means that you need to know what kind of questions your prospect has about your affiliate product – and make sure that you’re answering them. Think about what kinds of objections your prospect might have, and find a way of answering them, too.

Add social proof. (This means you want to show that other people have bought the product and love it.) When you’re selling affiliate products, the really good marketers will provide you with testimonies that you can use, along with sales copy, email copy, etc. (This is great because it’s often been written by a professional copywriter who understands the market.)

However, even if you’re given a sales page or email blasts to send out to your list, you don’t want to use it word for word. Make a few changes it – give it your own original touch. Make it fresh and original so that your prospect doesn’t see the exact same ad somewhere else – you’ll lose credibility if that happens.

If you’re offering a bonus for someone to buy your affiliate product, make sure that the bonus goes along with the product. Don’t give away recipes if you’re selling a book about hair care. Make sure your bonus relates to the product and is useful to your prospect. (For example, you could write your own Ebook that tells how to get the most out of the affiliate product. That’s something that no one else will be able to sell, because it’s yours.

Whatever you do, when it comes to affiliate marketing, it’s easy to avoid making the three biggest marketing mistakes just by doing a little thinking and strategic planning before you get started. And the truth is, you can make a very good living just from selling affiliate products, as long as you do it the right way.

Is Affiliate Marketing a Viable Business Model for Successful Businesses?

Some of the most popular "how to" courses, bootcamps and seminars are built around affiliate marketing as a business model for success. If you do a search on the Internet, you'll find literally thousands of E-books, Homestudy courses, and affiliate marketing products for sale.

But can you really build a business around selling other people's products?

Yes. And no.

The truth of the matter is, there is a specific formula that can lead to success if you decide to base your business around selling affiliate products.

But if you do it wrong, you may never make more than enough to cover your Internet connection and telephone costs each month.

Why is there such a huge disparity between the really successful affiliate marketers (those who make several thousand dollars each and every month) and those who are barely eking out a living?

Like with any business, it all boils down to creating solid systems that are scalable and can be duplicated to bring income from as many different sources as possible.

Here are some things to keep in mind when getting started:

Start with one product. Do your research. Find a market with a product that people want and are buying. Set up a system for promoting that product. (Think article writing, white papers, case studies, product reviews, e-books, workbooks, etc.)
Find additional and complimentary products or services that you can sell after you've started making a profit with the first one.

Create a squeeze page where you can collect names of people who want to find out more about the affiliate product or niche market.

Drive traffic to your Squeeze Page and offer them valuable information in exchange for their contact information.

Create a way to keep in touch with the people on your list, and continue to promote the additional products to them over time – but make sure that you're offering good solid information to them as well, to help build your credibility and their loyalty.

Once you've got your first affiliate product selling well, it's time to start cross selling and upselling. This may take you from a few weeks to several months – but like any other business, it's important that you are willing to spend the time and money necessary to build your affiliate business.

As soon as you've got the first product and cross sells operating at a profit, you can expand. For example, you could go into another complimentary niche. Or, I you want something a little more advance (and this one is a trick used by some of the Internet Marketing gurus in many different niches), go into competition with yourself.

That may sound a little crazy – but think of it this way: by competing against yourself – especially if you're able to grab onto the two of the top five positions – you're really just giving yourself a bigger piece of the pie!

If you're the type who gets bored easily, or is always looking for a new challenge, you might want to go into a totally new niche. Find something that doesn't have anything to do with your first niche.

Whatever you decide to do, just make sure that you're following the proven formula for success. Build each product or niche until it becomes profitable before moving on to the next one.

After that, you can just "lather, rinse and repeat" to your heart's content – and you'll be able to watch your bank balance grow too!

Wow, did we get hit with the storm yesterday - well over a foot of snow and drifts up over cars in the parking lot... Hope your weekend is going better than ours! Canada is a great country to live in, other than during the winter...

The sites have been flooded with downloads this weekend, with people grabbing the 3 e-books on using online video from http://www.SevenBucks.com and the incredibly powerful list building tools from http://superaffil.com/affiliate-lists/.

In one easy download from http://www.sevenbucks.com/ , you can become an expert at using online video just by reading the 3 e-books on the topic - while there's a little bit of overlap, each covers info not in the others. Til now, one of the problems you faced was not being able to get the whole story for any source - by bundling these 3 together, we've given you the complete solution - and as long as you act now, you can get all 3 in one bundle for just seven bucks.

Like always, you're also getting salespages and MRR to all 3 - you can put any one, two or all 3 online on your own site(s), and just one download of any of the 3 puts you right back into the black.

But like all 108 bundles that have been on the site so far, it's only there for one week - next weekend it disappears from the site, to resurface at a higher rate elsewhere on our online properties. So to get all 3, and the complete knowledge base they contain, for just seven bucks, download them now from http://www.sevenbucks.com/.

Helping you Make 2008 GREAT!

P.S. - Well, we're off to dig out the car - unfortunately my attempt to photograph the snow drift around it and clone out the snow doesn't seem to have helped in the physical world, so we have to find our shovel now. :( But while we do, be sure to get your bundle downloaded from http://www.sevenbucks.com/ - you'll definitely have more fun with it than I will with the shovel... ;)

Using Articles Effectively

2008-02-04T06:42:00.000-05:00

Wow, it's a busy week out there - Ground Hog Day and
the Chinese New Year were both Saturday, yesterday the
biggest football game of the year, tomorrow is Mardi Gras
and Carnivale, and this coming weekend is the Daytona race.
Each is a big event, and each it's own niche online...

And that's how easy it can be to find a niche - and why
there are thousands of them out there waiting for people to
jump on. Picking the best ones and researching them is time
consuming and repetitive, which is probably why people are
jumping onto EasyArticlesPro.com even faster
than they did with Niche PLR. NichePLR filled 100 spots
in 5 days, EAP is at 102 in just 3 days - good thing there's
still 198 positions left open, because it gives you time to
get in too!

Since the site delivers 50 articles per month, 25 in
each of 2 niches, it's only natural that some of the new
people to get into the site have written asking the best
way to use the articles. So let's take a quick look at
the best ways to do that...

The simplest and quickest way to use them is to use
the Article Site Kit - http://www.MarketMy.com/article-sites/
to make a site - it makes each page unique by adding some
snippets & links from the other articles, automatically
adds your Adsense and Amazon ads, builds your navigation
and even creates a sitemap for you.

A good result, obviously, but not necessarily the best
one. Another plan is to use 15 of the articles that way,
and use the other ten to populate a blog on the same site.
Build the 15-page site and put it online, then use your
cPanel's Fantastico to install a WP blog. If you're not
sure how to do that, watch the video on it I did for you
at 5 Minute Blog Setups. Add
one article to your blog each day, or every other day,
and be sure to use Pingoat.com after every
posting to let the directories know.

Why is that better? Your blog has allowed you to take
advantage of the Web 2.0 style of sites, getting links to
your new site from the blog directories. This gets you a
few more visitors, and can help the major engines find and
index your sites faster.

To add even more draw to the site, add a 'videos' folder
to the site, and use the Instant Video Site Generator from
http://www.Internet-Audio-Video.com/video-sites/ to add a
few pages of related videos as well. Again this helps draw
more people to the site over time, and helps make the site
more unique again.

To really max out your effect with each niche site, use
10 of the articles on the site, add the videos, put 10 of
the articles onto your blog, one every 2 or 3 days, and
put the remaining 5 articles into your e-zine for the site.
First though, check at PDCBA.com for related
products from ClickBank & PDC, and at http://www.cj.com/ if
there's nothing at the first two. Grab your affil links &
some related copy from those sites...

Naturally, start by putting those links on your article
pages, video pages and blog postings, then set up your
e-zine with an article the first two days, a push for one
of the affil products on day 3, and article or 4, an affil
product on day 5, etc. On the last day, split the e-mail
between the two products. This gives you a total of 9
issues in the e-zine, so space them out to two a week for
a month, or once aweek for two months. Remember to invite
them back to visit your site again in the PS of each of
the article issues.

Finally, pick a couple of articles from your site, a
couple from your blog and one from your e-zine and re-write
them, saving each as a new .txt file. Add your Author's
Resource Box to the bottom of each with a link back to
the site, and spend a day making the rounds and dropping
them off at the article directories. This brings more
visitors, helps the engines find your site to index, and
can even boost your PageRank.

You must admit, that's a lot of power, especially since
we've brought you both generators and your first 50 articles
for under a hundred bucks, with only 5 bucks a month that
is ongoing, to enable you to build 2 more sites a month!

PS - Remember, it all starts with being one of the next
198 people to lock in your monthly articles from
Easy Articles Pro . Add in the generators:
Article Sites Kit Pro and
Instant Video Sites In A Box and
you're well armed for the online battle, with a steady
supply of ammunition - now go on out and win your battle!

To your success... DC.

Hurry - NichePLR.com is Almost Sold Out!

2008-01-25T06:15:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to get a quick note out to you with an update on
the pre-launch at http://www.nicheplr.com/.

We're only four days into the sneak preview and already
74 of the 100 available spots have been snapped up...
With only 26 spots left open, there's a very real chance
the doors to the site will snap closed before the site
even gets out of pre-launch!

If any spots are left open by Sunday night, the rate
will go up to $27 until the 100th person comes aboard.
Then the doors to the site will close - and if we re-open
them at any point down the road, it will be at $47, not
$27 - those that have already seen the sites and gotten
locked in at the current $17 Special Pre-Launch rate
have convinced us we set the rate too low for all five
sites - even at $47 it's still less than ten bucks a site.

So if you've missed out so far on getting in at the
Pre-launch rate of $17 a month, be one of the 26 who get
locked in today or tomorrow - once we hit that magic
100 the only thing left on http://www.NichePLR.com/
will be the waiting list.

PS - If putting these niche sites online for the Amazon,
Adsense and whatever else you add to them isn't for you,
that's fine - Nothing online is a perfect fit for all.
But if you want to start milking the niches and hope to
get started with very little effort, be sure to grab one
of the remaining 26 slots today - in fairness to those
who alreadey took action, we will NOT make any exceptions
to the 100 cap - now or in future. Head over to the site
at http://www.nicheplr.com/ now and download
your first five sites today.

5 Minute Websites...

2008-01-15T08:25:00.000-05:00

Just uploaded another 100+ page niche website this time about
Gardening. As you'll see, it's another niche site we created
using the great program at Market My Dot Com!, the Article
Site Kit Pro software.

And once again the entire site took less than 5 minutes
to build - I simply put the site name on a blank header,
told the Article Site Kit Pro program where to find the
templates, text files and output directory, and the site
was done. That amazing program turned 100+ PLR text articles
into unique html pages, with all the navigation, links and
adsense/amazon stuff in place, and created the sitemap for
it all in about 57 seconds.

Do you have articles sitting on your drive right now? Do
you have the time and expertise to turn them into unique
pages in a nice-looking site with your affil links on each
page? If so, why are they still sitting on your drive? If
not, then the Article Site Kit Pro is for you...

And if, like me, you've been building your adsense sites
by hand til now, you'll love the three templates - pages,
sitemaps & links page, because you simply edit the html on
those to create any look you like before generating the
pages! You have complete control over the look and feel of
your site...

So go ahead and download the Pro kit now from
the Article Site Kit Pro site and
you'll still have time to build a few sites today!

PS - If you don't do your own graphics don't worry - the
only graphic you need for each one is the header, and you
can download 30 headers and a videos showing you how to
customize them or make your own from our site at
Best-Web-Graphics.com . That way you can use the
Pro Kit like the best of us - so go ahead and download it
now from MarketMy.com's Article Site Kit Pro page.

7 Laws of Buying...

2008-01-03T00:14:00.000-05:00

Do you know what makes people buy from you?

A lot of people THINK they know the answer to that question. But would you believe that most of them are DEAD WRONG!

And here's why: They don't know the 7 Laws of Buying . . .

You see, there are several key factors that go into the decision making process when anyone decides to purchase. It happens to you too - even if you don't realize it.

If you don't know what these factors are, you could be in trouble. You could quickly find yourself falling behind your competition - the ones who take the time to learn these tactics.

Whether you are looking to increase sales of an existing product, or you are planning to launch a new product and want to ensure your sales will be as high as possible . . .

. . . You need to understand what it is that actually motivates people to buy from you. If you don't know why someone buys a product, you will NEVER sell as many copies of your product as you would like . . . and you'll never reach the kind of financial security we all dream of.

Think about it - if you could go inside the mind of your customers and find out exactly what they are thinking when they decide to buy from you, would that give you an advantage over your competitors? Of course it would!

People have spent years studying this topic, but I'm sure you don't want (or can't afford) to wait that long to run your own tests. You would much rather have the results just be handed to you, right? Learn the 7 Laws of Buying Today and start making more money online tomorrow!

2007-12-20T12:35:00.000-05:00
