New FTC Guidelines 32 Comments

Hi Everyone, With the new FTC guidelines kicking in Dec 1st 2009, I thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts and the practical steps that I am taking with my sites to ensure I am coming into line to what the FTC require. Before I do though, I must say that I am not a lawyer and therefore the information provided in this post is my opinion only and not legally binding. It is solely your responsibility to ensure you interpret the FTC guidelines for yourself. Here is a link to the FTC site for you: FTC Guidelines and also read the guidelines here: FTC PDF The first thing that I want to say is that I personally think that what the FTC are doing is a good thing, and I support it. After all they are essentially cleaning up the internet and removing dodgy non-transparent […]

The Marketing Mindset 27 Comments

I like to provide as much quality and practical advice in my posts to assist my readers to reach success with their online marketing, and in today’s post I will be continuing with this trend, however with a slightly different twist.

I am going to introduce some extremely important marketing concepts, that I think are more important in the long run and will play a bigger role in your overall success than immediate practical techniques…

Google Book Deal 35 Comments

Some of you may be aware of the very ambitious project that Google is undertaking currently, referred to as the ‘Google Book Deal’, and I think it is well worth a mention, as Google have been ruffling a few feathers worldwide with this latest move of theirs.

In this post I am going to look at what the Google Book Deal is all about, what the opposition have to say, and how it may effect information marketers selling E-book’s.

How Much Is Your Time Worth? 17 Comments

Hey Guys,

Perhaps one of the biggest lessons I learned early on in my internet marketing career was the concept of time being the most precious resource I had.

There is only 24 hours in everyday and that we can’t change, however what we do with our time is within our control and must be managed well in order to really be successful online.

The secret to managing your time well online is grasping the concept of leverage. This is where you pull on other resources, such as people and software to perform tasks for you.

By doing this, you can focus on other tasks and move your operation forward faster than if you were to do everything yourself. This is what great entrepreneurs like Richard Branson and Bill Gates are extremely good at doing.

I notice that a vast majority…

Forget About The Traffic 17 Comments

Probably one of the most frequently asked questions I get from newbie affiliates that are struggling to make solid commissions online, is

“how do I get more traffic?”

I usually reply with:

“What’s your conversion rate like?”

Often people are a little confused by my response, and unfortunately a large number of affiliates can’t give an answer. Why? because they are so focused on driving traffic that they don’t track their conversion stats at all.

When people have asked me to then critique their sites, I am left stunned that they are…

Squidoo Pulls In The Reigns! 13 Comments

Most of you will probably know the giant web 2.0 site ‘Squidoo’. The site was created in 2005 and like many social interactive sites, had a vision of community and free information.

Squidoo increased in popularity rather quickly and caught the eye of the Google bots in no time!

Budding internet marketers recognized the value in gaining links from Squidoo for SEO, and of course unfortunately there are always a few that push the boundaries too far, and these guilty ones built a small empire of Squidoo back links to their websites….

Analysis Paralysis 4 Comments

One of the biggest challenges I see newbie internet marketers face is being overwhelmed with choice. There is so many resources to draw upon to learn how to create the dream of internet wealth.There are a lot of opinions out there, some free and others you have to pay to get. The trap though, that far too many people fall into is lacking focus.

Now of course I do encourage people to continually learn and up skill themselves if they want to stay ahead and be cashing in on the latest trends, however more importantly I encourage people to stay focused on one thing until they have mastered it, or at least reached a level where they are comfortably seeing good results with it…

The Maze Of Resale Rights 5 Comments

Most experienced online marketers will know a few things about resale rights products if they have been in the game a while. What they will also find is that you have to search high and low and trawl through a lot useless junk to find something that is worth while.

Why bother with resale right products then? Well the fact is that they are great and can be super helpful in seriously growing your online profits, if you know what you are doing with them, and know what to look for…

You Tube & Social Media 5 Comments

You Tube

You Tube is still consistently driving home serious traffic stats and is storming forward leaving search engines in its dust! More and more people are going to Youtube for information these days and therefore this has become a very important and weapon in the internet marketing arsenal.

What I love about Youtube is that it is a whole lot easier to rank for high traffic keywords than in the search engines. Almost like back in the day when the Internet was taking shape, when you could rank for almost anything you like with ease…
