Facing Online Business Risk

affiliate marketing No Comments »

There’s one particular problem that I think most people face. I might be wrong or right. It may take personal opinion to disagree or agree.

The single thing I think people are facing right in this economic downturn now is: RISK.

As part of running any type of business, risk is always involved as I am sure you are well aware. It is risk that makes some people scurry back to their office cubicles with fear, and for others, it allows them to truly break away from the dreaded rat race and possibly start an online business.

You do not have to be a cubical hamster. In today’s difficult economy, we face dangers that we are not in control of, particularly if we are working for someone else.

Therefore, the questions are:

Who is risking more?

It is the “cubical hamster”, or the guy/girl that takes the plunge and gets started with a successful online business?

No job is safe, particularly in this current financial crisis. But your business can prosper if you do take calculated risks. In fact, the risks are not officially risks at all and here is why:

Let’s say you “risk” advertising on Google Adwords

You pay $20 for 200 visitors.

You make no sales.

You decide that there is no money in this Internet game and you go back to your day job.

You would probably not have to do that:

If only you knew how to set up your Google Adwords campaign properly.

Knew how to make money blogging

If only you would have picked the right product to promote and if only you knew how to pre-sell affiliate products found on places like Clickbank.

If you knew how to get more buyers

If you knew how to be an Affiliate Prophet (promoting the right products)

If losing $20 is a major risk for you, then perhaps you need to look at it this way: There is little risk when you plan and prepare using expert advice.

In fact, if you want to break free from the insecurities of a day job, then what is taught in proven resources and tools that others are using to make money is by far the lowest possible risk involved in ANY type of business.

There is no need to feel scared about hearing of risk because when you get in your car every day, you are taking risk. If you don’t take risk, how will you know if you will succeed?

Here are some serious points to consider about making a new life for yourself via an online business:

1. If you can accept that ALL businesses involve risks, you are the perfect candidate for success.

2. If you can realize that online marketing delivers the lowest possible risk of ANY business, you’re a perfect candidate for success.

3. If you can stay motivated, follow a plan and push through the doubts and fears of things not working, then you’re a perfect candidate for success

4. If you’re serious about escaping your day job and you appreciate that all you need is a proven plan to virtually eliminate any risks at all from online marketing, then you ought to take a peek at these ONLINE RESOURCES as soon as possible. Time is money so take action immediately.

Free Traffic or Paid - Which is best?

Traffic Strategies, affiliate marketing No Comments »

So I’ve been getting this same question over and over again; and I keep answering by email, but it’s wearing me out so I got smart and decided to write a post about it…

Now I understand most beginners have this question, and I definitely had it too when I started, so it only makes sense for me to answer it here…

So here’s the question: Which is better Free Traffic or Paid?

Of course I could go one way or the other about this, but I’ll just explain the benefits of both, and let you decide for yourself which way to go…

Before I jump into the Pros and Cons of each though, here is a simple formula that you commit to memory:

PPC/Paid - Adwords (paid ads on google) = Faster profits, faster results, but costs money
 
Free Traffic (multiple methods combined) = More legwork, generally more time consuming, but no advertising costs
Now that you have that in your head, let’s move on.
Free Traffic
There are several methods of obtaining free traffic, and I’m really not even going to list them ( I should hope you know of some by now)…
What I will do is tell you what it’s highest and lowest points are. Here goes:
Pros: Obviously the biggest one here is no advertising costs. If you don’t have money to apply FOR advertising, then you’re pretty much going this way regardless of your position.
Also, with free traffic, I find it easier to make recommendations and even build my list. Why? Because through all that free traffic, people see your name over and over again, and build trust to your name. With adwords, you pretty much are just trying to make money.
Finally, if you have core website or business you’re trying to build, you’ll build it a lot better with incoming links, high authority sites, and tons of content, rather than just some ads on Google.
Cons: Getting massive amounts of traffic can be very time consuming. Also, if you don’t have money for things to make content for you, it may take you a while to build your sites, your content and most of all your brand (name).
Also, most people that search for things aren’t necessarily looking for things to buy; they may just be searching. So if you get a billion hits a day, but no sales, then it might be because you’re targeting the wrong people.
With Adwords, you get your point across, and many people know that Adwords ARE ads, so they know that that the ad is trying to sell them something. Plus you get your point across quickly.
My recommendations for going the free route: If you want to build your name and your business, check out Google Snatch 2. You can also check out Eric’s HOT new Google Wealth Maker, which finds content for you, and submits it to Twitter. It also collects followers for you, as well as posting your links.
(oh ya article marketing + squidoo + wordpress = best strategy)
Paid Traffic: I’m really only going to cover PPC because it’s the most commonly used.
Pros: Like I said Faster results, faster money. Faster testing.
Cons: Costs can add up real quick if you don’t know what you’re doing. Plus, I really only use Adwords to drive traffic to review pages (use direct linking for testing only, not all the time).
My Recommendations for Adwords: Well, there are hundreds of books out there on this topic, but I think these few are the best for adwords:

That’s about it. There’s really not much else to it. If you have like $50 for adwords, start there. If you don’t start creating lenses on squidoo backed by a Wordpress.com blog and Ezinearticles articles.

Get Commission Blueprint Today!

Commission Blueprint, affiliate marketing No Comments »

I had a chance to review the prelaunch product of the Commission Blueprint package, which was launched on August 27, 2008 at 12 noon. Commission Blueprint is a creation of five manuals and fourteen videos by Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey. They claim that it is a program that will train people how to increase their affiliate marketing commission using Clickbank marketplace combined with Google Adwords.

If you don’t know, I hate Google Adwords. It is not something that any newbie marketer should play with unless you get good training. So I decided to watch the videos and look at the manuals of Commission Blueprint. I did so very reluctantly.

On the video, Tim Godfrey is the narrator and it shows how Steven Clayton became a Super Affiliate marketing Clickbank products. He outlines the best product to choose on Clickbank and how to get as much out of each product as you possibly can.

The video outlined that you should choose up to six products and do a test to see how profitable they will be before you embark on any extensive marketing campaign. He goes into the basics of what a Clickbank gravity is, cost per click, conversion rates and affiliate marketing commission payouts. Commission blueprint also includes a specific spreadsheet equipped with a set formula that calculates different aspects of the product of your choice to show results that will determine whether you should pursue this or not.

It also comes with a special formula designed to show which keywords are going to be the most effective. You are also trained on how to determine what keywords are profitable for your Google Adwords. I was quite impressed with this. I guess that is why I lost so much money on Google Adwords in the past and have this fear that I just want to stay away from it. However, as I listened to the video, I realized that I had made my fear gotten a hold of me and was missing out on the real profits.

The commission blueprint videos went in to explaining why you need a domain, what domain to choose with respect to your keywords and how to effectively use your domain name in your Google Adwords campaign.

In the Commission Blueprint videos you will be taught about setting up landing pages for your Google Adwords campaign; some of which you may already know. However, he emphasizes how important it is for your Google Adwords and your landing page story to be saying the same thing.

He also explained how to find out which keywords are not doing well so you won’t lose money on your campaign like I did. I wish I had known this before. He also showed how to use a certain tactic to optimize your click through rate and the position of your ad.

The Commission Blueprint teaches the art of scaling your business to increase your daily profits from $20 to $200 in no time.

The things that I liked about the Commission Blueprint package

The Commission Blueprint information was well organized and formatted succinctly. From videos 3 to video 14, there was a lot more important and underground tactics that a normal Internet Marketer would not know. Some were even new to me. You are provided with three web templates; one of which is an opt-in template and they were all very professionally done and easy to set up for the beginner and the guru alike.

The things that I did not like about the Commission Blueprint package

The videos started off very slow and included a bunch of mumbo jumbo instead of getting to the heart of the matter. It took him a whole ten minutes to say that the user would require some basic knowledge before using his product. He spent the first two videos trying to reassure the listener that they should not be scared about the basic knowledge that they needed. Who wants to hear all of that? People who buy the product would be very upset with knowing all of that crap.

In concluding, I am hoping that Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton will take heed and fix the glitches that I mentioned before releasing the Commission Blueprint. Since, I was only privy to the prelaunch of the Commission Blueprint, I am sure that they will certainly do that. If you are interested in increasing your affiliate marketing commission in a massive way, then Commission Blueprint is definitely a recommended product.

The product follows up with a membership site where you are given additional training on how to use the Commission Blueprint and more internet marketing stuff. However, I have to keep my comments away from that for now until I have a chance to review the membership site.

The Commission BluePrint Review

Commission Blueprint, Internet Marketing, affiliate marketing No Comments »


Commission Blueprint is based around one of the hottest internet marketing niches of the moment, which is making money using Clickbank and Google.

I thought at first that this was just another one of those hyped product launches and was not going to be a part of it until I was able to get a copy and see the proof for myself.

I found out that although there have recently been a number of notable launches in this area, what Tim Godfrey of Commission Blueprint is offering is different because very few marketers have used (or have even seen) the techniques, secrets and methodologies that will be revealed.

From my viewpoint and review, Commission Blueprint seems to be exceptionally high quality material that will be the missing piece of the puzzle for so many people out there desperately trying to make money with Clickbank as well as affiliate marketing in general and it is apparent that this is what online marketers have been waiting on to succeed.

A prime example of how effective these techniques are can be proven by the following example CB account with earnings of $153,426.72 generated over a 6 week period…

When the pre-launch video is released at 12pm EST on the 25th August, proof will be shown live of this performance to prove that this is for real…
In short, the “Commission Blueprint” is a no-holds barred step by step course showing every last known secret to be revealed by Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton.

It’s clear that Tim understands how to create a winning product that delivers top conversions for affiliates and top dollar value for his customers.
The product overview includes Traffic generation, SEO, Web 2.0, Social Media, Copywriting, Article Marketing, Facebook Marketing…and that’s just a start. You will be shown when you become a member of Commission Blueprint, precisely how to draw the maximum benefit and income from each area.

For newbies and even master marketers, this’ll be a total no-brainer for fast and on-going online success. Commission Blueprint is just not another one of those ditsy launches, but a real product that results in real results.

Commission Blueprint comes with a trial of the membership for just $4.95 for the first 7 days. The one thing I did not really like about commission blueprint was the fact that it did not cover a lot more article marketing since this was a major marketing success tool as described by most Internet Marketing gurus.

The Secret of Secret Affiliate Code

Internet Marketing, affiliate marketing, secret affiliate code No Comments »

LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT SECRET AFFILIATE CODE

The Secret Affiliate Code unleashed on June 17th 2008. I was, I guess, the last to learn about it until I found it on clickbank quite by accident.

I clicked on the link that took me to the webpage and was quite taken aback by the well-designed web page. However, I was very interested in how this guy, Craig Beckta was not an Internet Marketing “brand name,” but was still getting so much attention for his product Secret Affiliate Code

The first thing you have to do to be successful online is to follow the tracks of someone that is up and coming and doing well. I wanted to be where Craig Beckta was and it wasn’t about jealousy. It was about wisdom and wanting to know why he was successful.

I am being honest here, so excuse me if you take offense to it. I set about implementing my plan to purchase secret affiliate code. The cost was $67 and if what Craig Beckta promised on his website was true, then I would see no way to lose. I had written my own ebook and had some success with it, but wanted to find out what else I had to do to make it gain as much popularity or some popularity as his was gaining.

Even though I was about a month after the actual launch, I realized that this guy was still of interest to people who were buying the secret affiliate code guide.

I made the purchase and could not wait to read it. I was in for a shocker, because not only did this guy give me a 151 page thorough manual or guide, he gave me 17 videos I had to download and listen to, plus 7 audio interviews done with some of the top Internet Marketers such as Willie Crawford, Charles Kirland, Alex Goad and others.

I was impressed. My ebook could not compare with the depth that Craig Beckta covered. However, he did not cover some of the things in my “Google Dominator,” ebook, which would be the only negative thing I could say about his product.

READ ON BELOW—–>>>>>

To be honest with you, it is going to take weeks for me to go through all of the stuff in Secret Affiliate Code.

I went through about 13 of the videos and have four more to go, but I have to go back over them again because they are that good.

I received some new social marketing websites that I did not know about and also how to use free classified ad sites effectively. One thing that most interested me and if I did not get anything else out of this ebook, it would be how to create videos and a special website that I can go to create videos and have it automatically sent out to the top video submission sites instead of doing it manually.

People would rather to watch a video than to read a book, so if you are not using videos with your Internet marketing, you are definitely losing out, so this was a big thing for me.

The second part of the Secret Affiliate Code is the quick start guide, which gives you a complete overall on how the system works. You will be able to quickly use each method to fast start your affiliate marketing.

Craig could have included more information on article marketing, but I think he focused more on reaching the hungry buyer rather than just any market. The good news, however, is that Google Dominator has filled in what Craig has left out and that is why both ebooks or guides will complement each other and make your Affiliate earning potential more feasible.

And that my friend, is the honest to goodness truth.

Now I am going to make a deal with you. Read on…

I commend Craig Beckta for taking eight months of his time to write a manual or guide that will help so many people who are struggling at affiliate or internet marketing. There is hope for you folks. There really is hope..finally. I highly recommend Craig Beckta’s Secret Affiliate Code guide to anyone who wants to succeed with working from home and having a lucrative internet marketing business.

He has certainly taken the time to reveal his secrets and you will be definitely glad that you own this product, so get it now.

To purchase Secret Affiliate Code and get the Google Dominator for FREE, you only have to take action by clicking on the secret affiliate code link. If you have been in Internet marketing for less than 6 months and more than 2 years and haven’t yet made enough money to quit your day job, then your answer would be Secret Affiliate Code and Google Dominator.

With these two added to your arsenal of Internet marketing products, you are guaranteed to succeed if you take action today.

However, since both my product and Craig’s product cost $67 a piece, I am offering to give away my product for a whopping $0 dollars if you purchase Craig Beckta’s Secret Affiliate Code guide through my link.

Dominating CB (Clickbank) 2 is A joke…

I won’t go on about the videos, just read more here about Dominating cb 2.

Best Recent Release:Affiliate Payload or Commission Blueprint?

Commission Blueprint, affiliate payload No Comments »

This month, we had two great releases: Affiliate Payload and Commission Blueprint. But which one is better? Well, to determine which one was better for the user, I graded the two on the following areas:

  • Who they were for
  • What they cover - What’s Inside
  • How Much Content was In each
  • Level of Difficulty for the Buyer

By judging those areas, I could determine which was better for the buyer.

Who They Are For: AP was developed by master affiliate Alex Goad. In his massively, over-stuffed 278 paged Ebook, Alex takes you into the under-appreciated, yet highly profitable area of CPA Marketing. This book covers MANY new techniques that I’ve never even heard of before to make money even faster than affiliate marketing in general.

Great for anyone who is tired of affiliate marketing and wants to try something new.

CB on the other hand, is a blueprint written by Tim Godfrey (creator of Profit Praxis), and Steven Clayton. The two teamed up to create an ebook/video series that shows how they made over a half million dollars in less than a year. While the series based on an old method; the clickbank and adwords strategy, their product is highly refreshing as it shows quite a few methods that most never even would have thought of.

Great for anyone who still thinks that there is a way to make money with Adwords, but just haven’t been able to yet. Definitely worth a read if you were dissappointed by any other Adwords profits books.

What they Cover - What’s Inside: Well, like I said, Payload goes into CPA marketing, more so than good old aff. marketing (even though it is touched upon). If you don’t know what that is, here’s a brief explanation: CPA is cost per Action. You get people to either fill out a form, order something or buy a product. Then you get paid, for whatever it is that they did. This way you can make money with not just sales. It can be easier for someone to make money this way.

Even if the person does not have prior experience in affiliate marketing, they may be able to make money using this book a lot easier than with affiliate marketing.

Commission teaches you how to make money with a combination of Clickbank and Adwords. Problem with this is many people have covered this before. So if the reader has any previous knowledge of this topic, they may find some of the information repetitive. But, the course is very complete, and if the buyer DOES NOT have much knowledge in these areas, then it may actually be GREAT for them.

How Much Content is Included: Before I continue, I will say this: Both are worht their price. Unlike some releases which are hyped up, I can safely say that both of these items were worth their pricetag. Ok moving on…

While Affiliate Payload is Ebook based, 278 pages that is (usually unheard of), it DOES come with 11 videos. All screen capture, and they total over an hour in length. The book will take some time to read but is worth it’s time to read. The videos are also pretty on key.

Commission Blueprint on the other hand, is video based, 14 videos in all, and total 3 hours +. While there is a few times in the videos where it may be a bit fluffy, the videos are of Excellent Quality. It also comes with supplemental guides to help the reader stay on task.

Level of Difficulty: I think that both are for anyone. Beginners to anyone that has up to a year or so of experience. Now, I believe that beginners will get more out of CB, while people who haven’t had success with Aff. Marketing or want to do something else should check out AP.

Overall Winner: My overall winner is Affiliate Payload, and here’s why.

Commission Blueprint is great for novice marketers, but Aff. Payload is so fresh. It’s a nice break from Clickbank, and I think beginners may even profit from it’s methods faster than Blueprint’s methods. Moreover, while Commission Blue is mostly PPC based, Aff. Pay. teaches both PPC and non-PPC based methods.

Ratings for Both:

Adwords + Clickbank Equals Affiliate Riches?

Gurucrusher Rants, adwords marketing 2 Comments »

Man, I’m not sure about you guys, but I am getting thoroughly burnt out on all these Clickbank products that are all based on the same thing:

Use Adwords (PPC) while Promoting a Clickbank Item and you get affiliate riches.

I’m tired of this because it doesn’t work, because it does. Many people use this tactic to make them thousands (or even millions) every day/month/year.

In fact, the reason I am getting tired of it is because that’s almost anyone ever talks about anymore. Think about some of the biggest launches ever (even lately), and you’ll notice a familiar vibe….

  • Google Massacre (I still like it though)
  • Google Magic Formula
  • Beating Adwords
  • Affiliate Project X
  • Google Cash
  • Google Assassin (it did help with adsense, I’ll admit)
  • Google Nemesis (the software was made for this purpose…)
  • And now Commission Blueprint

And there are others, but I’m not here to drag all these products down. Quite actually, I enjoyed reading (or using) many of these. But my point should only be pushing deeper into your head…

It’s a very over-used technique, that all the major marketers use, and make tons of money. What they don’t tell you is this:

  • What categories they did so well in
  • That it wasn’t all from PPC
  • How much they spent to make all that money

Who knows what else…

I guess I really had nothing else to say about this topic. Maybe that’s why I like Affiliate Payload so much… Cause it’s different. (Still somewhat the same, but easier for beginners to use…)

Why can’t there be more topics about SEO, list building, or free traffic? Oh, because it’s a waste of time I guess. I don’t know, I was a big fan of Adwords for a while too, especially when I wrote Adwords on Overdrive. But now I kind of like using free traffic methods. It’s just more fun to me…

The Secret Tactics to Massacre Google…

google massacre, secret google tactics No Comments »

So just the other day, I got word of 2 new products coming out: Google Massacre and Secret Google Tactics. Two very different products, from two different  sets of people.

Google Massacre is the newest launch by Andrew X and Steven Lee Jones of the Google Magic Formula team. Their newest product is all about PPC marketing, and making money with Adwords. Think you saw it all in GMFormula? Wrong, Google Massacre kills, and it blows GMF out of the water.

Be prepared for the Google Massacre on July 29th. To learn more, you can read the Google Massacre Review of course.

Now onto the other release: Secret Google Tactics.

Secret Google Tactics is a short guide written by Clickbank killer and article genius, Dylan Loh. Secret Google Tactics is a dirt-cheap way to make money with a combination of Adwords, as well as Adsense. This one of a kind guide is super easy to follow and implement, as well as being unique and effective. i have not seen such an easy way to make money in my time of marketing, yet (besides the whole Clickbank + Adwords = Money thing over and over again…).

This is going to be good. Secret Google Tactics launches August 5th (i believe.) You can learn more by checking out our Secret Google Tactics review.

Enjoy,

Google Nemesis is coming…

Chris McNeeney, google nemesis No Comments »

I just got word that DJK, Chris and Ken, is launching their newest product, dubbed Google Nemesis.

If you know anything about them, they have been killing the affiliate marketing game since ‘06, with their launch of Affiliate Project X. Then they launched Day Job Killer, one of the best selling “make money” guides in Clickbank, and internet, history.

Now, they are back with their biggest and newest project: “Google Nemesis.”

I have only see parts of it, not the whole thing yet, and all I can say is wow. This thing looks good. I can’t release much info about it, but I can show you this to get you excited…

Google Nemesis Proof

I’m telling you, this is going to be good. It makes my Affiliate Revolution look like child’s play.

When I know more, I let you guys know. It launches one week from today (July 8th).
