I am sure a lot of you have heard of Russell Brunson and his website dot com secrets, but i was on his blog today and he has got a really fun article up there about the site Fiverr.com, which if you do not know is a site where you can buy just about any service for $5

Yep five bucks gets you just about anything done (in reason of course)

Now these jobs are actually called gigs so if you are a marketer and are looking for some work doing, be it traffic generation, blogging, graphic design, article writing then you can get it done on fiverr.com.

Russell used a novel gig to get the word out about how his site helps people how to make money and i thought the blog post was very cool.

It shows a girl who actually wrote “Dot Com Secrets” on her forehead and just wandered around school…………

Russell is calling it a new traffic generation method called FOREHEAD SPAM.

Anyway you might want to checkout Fiverr and see if you can use it in your business. Dont forget you get what you pay for but it certainly looks like a great way to come up with some innovative methods of getting the word out about your company.

Check out the blog post here

All the best

The Kindle from Amazon has been the rage for a
while now but is it just a toy or is it really useful???

….i’ll try and point you inther right deirection.

The latest Kindle uses soem techincal jargon called “E Ink Pearl technology”

This is a screen technology with a greater contrast and
really in laymans terms it means you get a crisp clear
resolution on text and images and add to this that this
version of the Kindle features a 9.7″ (That is like a small
notebook computer)diagonal E Ink screen means it’s ideal for
reading books, magazines, PDF’s and even your favourite
newspaper subscription……great if you are travelling.

The screen also has a special anti glare component which
looks like a matt paint on your living room wall, this means
it gives you the appearance of reading something from a piece
of paper but with a thousand of times the icrease in quality
is ideal for a broad range of reading material including
graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs

I think one of the real benefits of this device is that it
includes “FREE 3G Wireless”

READ THAT AGAIN…….FREE 3G Wireless.

No payments to networks, no contracts just plug and play and
download to your hearts desire.

Now imagine yourself on a beach or out camping and all you have
with you is your beloved Kindle

Well you can be safe in the knowledge that you can read for a
whole week on just a single sesssion of battery charging…..

Now that is an incredible feature…..wish my mobile phone would
do that.

But it gets even better.

Imagine this…..you are reading a book on your kindle at home and
then suddenly the phone goes and you have been told you need to go
on a business trip, you dont have time to charge up your kindle.

No worries….just set up the technology Whispersync when you first
get started and it will automatically synchronise the exact book with
the exact page and the exact point on that page that you were reading.

You just tell it which device/devices you want to keep your stuff on.

It is true set it and forget it technology and you can sync to another
PC or computer, an iPhone, any Android device, and even that pesky
BlackBerry.

But what about this

If I am reading for pleasure or business I can share whatever I am
reading directly into my twitter or facebook pages from Kindle.

Now i do not know why you are reading this, maybe it is just to find
out some info about the Kindle but imagine what this could do for you
from a business standpoint……..let me give you an example.

You run a cooking website. You are sitting on a train reading one of your
favourite cooking books on your kindle and you see recipe you think would
be great for your website visitors. You can paste this onto your facebook
fan page of course giving credit to the original author but you have not
had to write a word.

Your website visitors will love you and it makes it oh so easy to give them
fresh relevant content.

I’ll tell you the possibilities are endless here…….listen to this one.

Sometimes you are reading a book or studying and it can get tiring, I am
sure you’ll agree.

Well let your new Kindle DX take away all the strain with an amazing
technology called “Read to Me” which is a built in text to speech converter
and it can read books, magazines, newspapers even your favourite blogs…..

Am I finished??? NO way

Now i know a lot of people like to read a book..especially a novel in it’s true
paper form but you cannot carry loads of heavy books with you on a trip…….

……not a problem as you can upload up to 3500 books, documents or whetever
you please all in this one magical portable device.

One very neat feature of the Kindle DX is that it has an automatic rotate
feature which means that if you turn it horizontally it will turn the document
you are reading and make it landscape which is absolutely brilliant for
diagrams or certain web pages. I like that feature a lot.

Also did you know that the kindle can obtain nearly 2 million free books for
you from stuff hat is in the public domain.

A lot of material under US copyright and other international copyright can be
used and downloaded absolutely free and you remember that facebook tip i gave
you earlier…….well brilliant for blog content which you can sync over to
your computer at any point.

I hope you enjoyed this and found it useful in deciding if the kindle is for
you. Whether for fun or business this is a great investment.

MORE KINDLE DX INFO!!!

Cheers

Well, my first response is that it is so easy to use with only a short learning curve to get the basics nailed down and with so many themes and templates around you can make a beautiful looking site.

Then to add to that the fact, their are various Plugins (Additional Tools) you can add to make your blog/website perform and manage different tasks.

I have written a report called Easy Websites with WordPress that shows step by step how to get your first site up and running in no time with all the technical details laid out in easy to follow screenshots so its like me taking you by the hand.

The report has been downloaded hundreds of times and i always get great feedback on how it helps people. just click the link above to grab it for FREE

It’s everybody’s dream to Work from Home and many of the other readers of my blog are just like you. Yes they are searching for a way to make money from home and yet like so many have probably failed.

Yes i know it is not what you wanted to hear but it is the hard cold truth.

If you have been following my blog for some time then you know that i do my very best to give you great content and free internet marketing training when possible and………today is no exception.

I was always told that forums are great for getting backlinks but most forums are just a place to go where people moan and bitch and add whine about something or another so it is not in my nature to use them, howwever a few months ago i found a Work From Home forum which allegedly said they provide lots of free training and also have members who are willing to help even the greenest marketer to make a go of living the dream of working in their own home based business.

Well a few months later and i am still there and have now been happily posting up my blog content and helping others as well as getting some great help myself.

So if you want to really get some useful help where your questions will get answered (NO MATTER HOW BASIC) then i would really take a look at the Work From Home forum that I suggest is the best on the internet.

Cheers

Richard

I was on my favourite marketing forum and one of the members asked the question.

“What is the difference between a Blog an Article and a Press Release”

So i have done a mindmap below to try and explain it.

A BLOG: A blog is a site about a niche….here you can see our site (or blog) is called Dog Blog so it’s about the Dog Niche.

On our blog we have a HOME, ABOUT, RECENT POSTS and CATEGORIES section.

So in the HOME page we write a bit about our site and some general information of the aim of the site and what it will provide readers.

In ABOUT we actually write about ourselves…or the BLOGGER. The real person who is writing stuff about Dogs

The RECENT POSTS area is where we actually write content about any subject and in the example above we have written information about HOW TO TRAIN DOGS and HOW TO FEED DOGS.

The next area is CATEGORIES and this where we put our posts. So for example the above two posts we might put in the DOG CARE category as in the image.

So that is the Blog

Now you see to the left i have a section called traffic and this is why we use ARTICLES and PRESS RELEASES as well as YOU TUBE VIDEOS

So an article can be written and posted on something called an article directory. The article will be about your niche and will have at the bottom a link (or hyperlink as it is known) and this will send people (THE TRAFFIC) back to your site.

The same applies to Press Releases and You Tube Videos….they have links which send people (THE TRAFFIC) to your site.

I know this may be basic for a lot of you but everybody needs help and I hope you find this useful.

Please leave any questions if you need help.

Cheers

Richard

I was on my favourite forum today and one of the guys their Kevin was asking how does hestart website linking to and from his websites to other websites so I thought I would do a quick video to show how this can be done.

So lets show how you link to another persons site from your own site.

Lets go to Kevin’s Question

So that’s how I link from my blog to another site.

You can see below a video explaining the process and also how i quickly created a one way link back to my site.

Please leave your comments

Cheers

I have put together an 8 minute video tutorial showing how you can find and connect with prospects for your niche business.

I believe this is a powerful tool if used ethically. Please use this only as a method for building targetted twitter traffic and targetted twitter followers to your list. If you try and promote your own or affiliate products like this I am sure it will not work.

The aim here is to give something of great value first and foremost and “BUILD A RELATIONSHIP”

Good luck

Richard
