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

1. It is basically a backlinking training programme with a number of “SIPHONS” to help you get traffic and backlinks to your site. (NO BAD THING)

2. Most of the methods are what we all use today so unlike the sales letter says, this is not new and cutting edge.

3. Two of the Siphons “Comment Spam Siphon” and the “Competitor Siphon” were interesting and are stuff I have not seen before which looks like it could be quite powerful.

4. The membership site is laid out very well and each of the Siphon Videos has a Quick Start Guide and Video transcript.

Then what?

Ok the videos themselves were actually recorded back in late 2009 so this really is a PLR (Private Label Rights) video product which to me has been rehashed and glossed up.

If you go to the sales page then you will see that they are only selling 250 copies. Well if the guy Mark Barnard makes 120,000 per month using clickbank why would he be limiting his income to $16,750 (Alarm bells)

Also if you go to the sales page it says their are 78 copies left and their were 78 copies left just after launch and when i looked a short while ago their were still 78 copies left (Oh oh)

Now when you go to order you can click away and you get one of those annoying “Click cancel to stay” and you get offered a 5 day trial for $1 which says “Only 5 Left”……..well you guessed it it was 5 left after they launched and it is still 5 left (Oh oh)

This is the option I took. once you get to the order process you then are made 5-6 upsell/downsell offers (2 would be enough)

Ok is the product any good??

I quite liked some of it and I am sure it may help in building backlinks but I do not like being lied to or taken for a ride. So I did a little investigation and popped over to The Warrior Forum and somebody there claims he had a contact from the promoter saying that they had sold 6000 copies.

I could well believe this and even if it is not the case these guys have blatantly lied to people and I for one will not stand for it.

I will also be going through my own emails and anybody who has pitched this product to me will never get any business or the ability to peddle such crap again.

I advise you to do the same.

Hope this helps

There are a lot of products appearing on Clickbank at the moment and they are all using the same sales letter template and all are promoting a “one click” make money straight away approach.

I have decided to actually buy some of these products and test them out for you based on their sales page “PROMISES”

The first one is called “TURBO PROFIT SNIPER” and i’ll tell you straight up this is a hyped up piece of garbage.

It promises that you can log in, add your clickbank ID and just let the software do it’s magic and it will spit out a $1000 in a week in Clickbank Commissions all by doing nothing……..

Please do not buy this software.

It has some other tools like some SEO and Article tools but many of it’s functions are just API’s to other sites and applications

That’s it, straight and honest……..oh and if the owner is reading this please contact me to prove otherwise.

All the best

Richard

P.S. If you want a really useful software at no cost then check out this e cover software you can use totally free of charge

Back with a challenge update and just been watching Module 2 and Day 3 of The Challenge and my goodness if you cannot write for toffee then you must watch the video below.

I think I am a decent writer but my problem is the speed of my writing and it takes me quite a while to write a 300 – 400 word article……well no more.

When i watched this training on speed writing i could not believe it. Ed Dales shows how you can write an article in 10 minutes flat and i can tell you it works. I tried this technique and I was able to write a 450 word article (with mistakes) in 10 minutes.

Now think about that for a moment. If you can write one article in 10 minutes then you can write 6 articles in one hour.

Now lets say you religiously did this for your business over the course of one year….yes every single day you tok JUST one hour of time out of each day to write.

That is 365 days x 6 articles = 2190 articles you can post on your blog or upload to article directories.

Now imagine if you were posting those articles to the top 5 article directories

2190 articles x 5 article directories = 10950 backlinks to your site……..isn’t that staggering that to think one hour of work per day could produce that much power.

Hey and that is only YOU. Imagine if you outsourced this…………….blimey I’m on a role now.

Lets say you paid an outsourcer to do this at $3 per hour, that is $1095 for one years work to get 10,950 backlinks.

So 1095/10950 = $0.10 per article………AWESOME

N.B. Ok i am not taking into account checking and editing but you get the picture.

Anyway check out this awesome video below and start getting your articles fired off like a gunslinger.

And just wanted to give you an update on my experience so far with The Challenge this year and also to talk about the latest info from WP Direct.

Well my niche finding mission last week went right off the rails……yeah i went back and forth into Market Samurai drilling down….and up and sidewards. Actually I went in every bloody direction but to no avail.

I found 3 or 4 niches that look good and have a few good seed keywords but not enough micro niche keywords and boy have i been testing out some weird and wonderful ideas.

Anyhow, my aim is to watch this weeks content whilst at the same time revisiting my Market Samurai projects to find an angle on on eof those niches.

I must say that what Marty Rozmanith and the WP Direct Guys are doing in terms of their trial access this year is tremendous as you can set up 10 sites and try out more niches, this will give you not only practice but more chances of getting an SEO optimised blog but also a wider selection of test markets.

All the best

Richard

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 LOVE IT

I have just realised after going through Day 2 of the Challenge and finding a couple of niches on Amazon in my niche marketing research that you must look for MOANERS…..

If you can find a magazine and find really bad reviews then this is gold. I just found one magazine where the person who bought it said some good things but also uttered the words…….

“Oh but i wish there was more of this”

What more can you ask for. Now this is a highly competitive Niche but if people are crying out for certain solutions then there must be a demand and to make it even better i know an expert in this particular area.

I have not even looked at Google.

So next time you hear someone moan about something dont frown but think and turn it into what the person is really saying and that is HELP…

Cheers

Richard

Follow me on Twitter
Be one of the 2%

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
