The Internet Has No Secrets (Traffic or Otherwise) - Or - When To Stop Buying Into Things And Just Do It

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

NOTE: Before you get going, the title of this post is “secrets” not “methods.” People come up with all sorts of new ways of doing things, and open all sorts of new social media areas, and we give credit where credit is do. But they aren’t “secrets.”

* * * * * * * * * *

For years, and I do mean years, we’ve been online explaining, demonstrating, and, in many instances, doing the hands-on work to help you be successful online.

And, throughout these years, we - like you - have been (and continue to be) inundated with special reports, new software, e-books, videos and more all ranting and raving how this is “the one.”

Rarely is anything “new.”

Let me explain by example before I continue:

Ten years ago, a script was developed that (more…)

What To Do When All Your Marketing Falls Flat On Its Face

Friday, July 11th, 2008

One of the things a person must have control over in order to make money online is the landing page for what they are promoting. When you join an affiliate program you need to keep in mind that everyone is using the same page. Nothing unique there. And, maybe, just maybe, the landing page you’re sending people to just isn’t doing its job.

To add to your potential misery, (more…)

What Were You Doing When The $135 Offer Was On the Table?

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Yesterday, while Entrecarding it, I came across Michael’s So-Called Life.

And… his July 8th post most certainly caught my attention :)

We’ve talked here on this blog (and will continue to talk) about various ways to make money as a blogger (see our numerous postings in search form here). We even spoke about our testing of SocialSpark and getting paid to write.

And, not to leave website owners out, we’ve covered ways to make money that rely on your skills not your ability to talk “Aunt Sally” (remember her?) into buying into that next “hot program” :)

So it wasn’t surprising that the universe provided us with the perfect outside source - Michael - who also was talking about writing for money, AND giving us specific examples of just HOW MUCH MONEY (for him). (more…)

Jumping Back to Jumptags For A Real Boost in Backlinking

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Four prior posts, to date, have discussed the advantages of using Jumptags as a social book marking tool for your website and/or blog.

These posts have included proof that just taking a few seconds of your time each time you make a post - or even add a new page to your website - to log into your Jumptags account means multiple links in the search engines extremely quickly (we’ve even got pictures).

So why am I returning today to talk once again about the beauty of back link building with this social media strategy?

First, because (more…)

The Untapped Mystery Resource Almost Guaranteed to Make You Money Online

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Bear with us and read this entire post if you’re truly interested in the whole “make money online” thing.

The question comes up quite often, “How do I monetize my website or my blog?” More often than not, most people have done the obvious and joined a program either like Google’s Adsense or that program itself.

Joining Amazon-like programs, and pulling products out of places like Clickbank also often head the list.

Did you know that (more…)
