When Google's AdSense appeared, there were a lot of people who doubted Google's idea would be marketable and actually generate any profits. Yet as we stand here today it's probably the most well known pay per click venture in the world.
Yes, all those nay sayers ended up eating their own words in the end. And that is because the folks at Google never go and do something without assessing whether or not it will be profitable, or exactly how profitable it is.
But of course, as you might very well know, AdSense isn't just profitable for Google. It's also profitable for the people who advertise via AdWords and very profitable for publishers who use it to make earnings which are sometimes just enormous.
So one must ask himself why this is such a good deal for everybody. And the question in itself is very justified because you hardly ever come across something that's profitable for everyone in the chain. So why would AdSense be any different.
Well, AdSense is where it stands today, giving benefits for everybody in the game because it exploits a gap in the Internet's advertising model.
You see, the Internet is a very interactive environment, and its interactions come from the people who are browsing. They choose whether or not to follow a certain link and the term "navigating" is probably the most precise one at describing this situation.
So AdSense is great because it links together buyers and sellers. Yes, you have to hand it out to Google for a brilliant idea. They know there are people out there that want to buy stuff and people who want to sell them what they're interested in. And Google AdSense helps members of the two categories find each other.
It works for the visitors, because the model is very transparent. You don't see a huge graphic banner which tries to lure you into buying something. You just see a few words. And if you like what you see you can just click it. It works because visitors don't have that feeling of someone trying to lure them into spending money. Ironically, however, they're wrong.
It works for the AdWords advertisers because their ads go everywhere. Not only will they find themselves listed in Google's search which gets gazillions of hits per day, up front without working as much for SEO and waiting so much.
Their ads can reach any website that deals with anything similar to what they're trying to sell. Now you must realize they could never pull of such great advertising by themselves. And that brings us to the thing that makes Google's AdSense a publisher's best friend.
It comes from the fact that the ads are contextual, that they somehow related to the keywords you deal with on your page. Because people or on your site, which deals with a certain topic, you already know they're interested in that topic.
But, hey, wait a minute, Google knows some companies which want to sell your visitors something related to their topic. Google wants your visitors, you want Google's advertisers and the visitors just want to buy stuff. And that is the essence of what makes AdSense a great deal for everybody.
This is by far the most profitable hook-up deal you're ever going to see anywhere on the Internet.
So you have to appreciate Google for realizing a killer deal. You have to appreciate how well thought out, yet simple this scheme really is. Sure, in practice it has a few quirks but those are minor and, up to this point everyone seems to be enjoying Google's AdSense.

The Pizza Plan
Do you have a road map for getting what you want from your business?
Most people don't. Heck, my plan, if you can call it that, when I was first started online was to jump from one affiliate program to another, hoping to find the key to unlock the fabulous riches I kept being promised.
Well, that didn't work, in fact, it got so bad, I was going to pack it all in and return to the drudgery of a job - even though I detest working for other people.
It doesn't have to be that way.
During an online conference, Jon Olson, revealed, to a select group of owners and surfers, who all paid for the privilege of hearing Jon speak, the actual budget and business plan he used to go from just another struggling marketer to the being the owner of a traffic exchange empire.
I hung on to every word as he talked about...
* The Only Three Tools You Need For Success
* How to Create Profit Circles
* And How Do It For Less Money Than The Average Person Spends on Junk Food
I wanted to share what he said right there and then with you...
But, Jon made us take an oath not to reveal the plan lest, in all our frantic scribbling, we left out something vital ...
Finally, after much begging and pleading, Jon relented and agreed to make his astonishing business plan available to anybody you wants it.

A Day In The Life Of An Affiliate Marketer
Being in the affiliate marketing business is not that hard now with the internet at your disposable. It is much easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.
So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this…
Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on.
The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.
That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program.
Time to track down the sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future.
There are lots of resources to sort out. Ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. Best to stay visible and accessible too.
The affiliate marketer remembered that there are questions to answer from the visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer than an unanswered email.
To prove that the affiliate is working effectively and efficiently, inquiries would have to be paid more attention on. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too.
In the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those under that same program. This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote their products.
There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process. Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what opportunities ahead.
The newsletters and ezines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the marketer’s publication to be distributed to the old and new customers.
These same publications are also an important tool in keeping up to date with the newly introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the publications.
It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process they have done that made everything worked.
Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information that have been written already.
The marketer still has time to write out recommendations to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of wannabees.
Two objectives done at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.
Time flies. Missed lunch but is quite contented with the tasks done. Bed time….
Ok, so this may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day.
Is that success looming in the distance or what?

Some Reasons Most People Decide to Start an Online Business
• It takes very little money to start
Unlike a business in the “real world” , an online business does not need a lot of start up money. All you need as an idea, a domain name, internet access and hosting…all of which can be had for under $100!
• You choose when you work
Who says you must work from 9 to 5 everyday? People who are NOT Internet Business owners! The Internet Business is the biggest proof why the statement “working from 9 to 5” is no longer true. With an Internet Business, you don’t have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning so that you can get to work by 9am, anymore. You can start work at anytime since you are your own boss!
• Work from the comfort of your own home
Where you put your computer is where you will be working! And since you’re going to be working from home, you’ll be saving at least two hours of your time each day by not having to travel to and from your work place during rush hours when everybody else is going to work or heading for home. That means you’ll be saving at least 730 hours a year! Wouldn’t you shudder at the thought of wasting 730 hours a year doing nothing productive?
• With the internet, the whole world is your market!
By sitting in front of the computer, everyone in the world is now within your three feet. You leverage on free or low-cost software and hardware and the Internet Infrastructure, all of which when combined will give you leveraging power that far exceeds any conventional business, allowing you to achieve more and more with less and less work!
• You can fully automate your online business
If properly set up, some Internet Business models can be fully automated.
• No need to work 8 hours a days every single day
Once you can automate your Internet Business in some way, you can use the time you saved to start another Internet Business, improve your existing business, or spend anyhow you like. You just spend the time online checking your mail religiously, promoting and expanding your business – all in front of your computer. And there is absolutely no need to spend even more than four hours online.
• Spend more time with family and friends
Owning an Internet Business gives you the privilege to have more time to spend with your family, or watch your children grow up. This is what most busy parents crave for. If you are one of them, then you will do well to seriously consider starting an Internet Business.
• Your online business can be all about your hobbies and passions
Now, this is my favorite reason for anybody wanting to start an Internet Business! The Internet Business allows your passion and dream to come to life, which is also the most important component of businesses of any kind.
• Online businesses have very little expenses
Believe it or not, some Internet Businesses can be set up and running at zero cost, if not very low. Other Internet Businesses can run with monthly operational expenses so low that they are negligible!
So, you can rest assured you won’t find me recommending products or services that cost thousands of dollars, the amount of money which you may as well throw into the stock market if you’ve got such a huge appetite for risk!
• You can have more that one!
Since the cost of setting up and running an Internet Business is so low, and you can automate their operations, you can operate multiple Internet Businesses as a one-person Internet Business owner.
You don’t need to hire employees since your Internet Business system is doing most of the job, if not all. It works 24/7 for you. It won’t call in sick. It won’t give any excuses. And it definitely won’t blame you if it ever had worldly problems!
Given all the wonderful reasons for starting your own Internet Business, I am sure that by now you have already made up your mind whether starting an Internet Business is for you.

10 Essential Qualities Successful Affiliates Share
Setting up a business online or even just setting up and maintaining a website requires similar entrepreneurial qualities as setting up and running a bricks and mortars company.
Here are the 10 essential qualities commonly required if you are to make it a success.
1. Vision and Leadership
It means having clearly defined goals and an uncanny ability to use innovation as a tool to get there. An entrepreneur must, of course, be a competent manager, but, more importantly, must lead the way to success. It takes a leader to successfully start, run, and grow a business. Even if you are a leader of one at the start!
2. An Open Mind
People who are uncomfor in accepting uncertainties cannot be good decision-makers. You must never cease to learn and grow. You will need an open mind to review and weigh up the different decisions that you will be required to make daily. You will also need an open mind to listen to the points of view of others.
3. Quick Thinker
The ability to take quick decisions is the key to success in this day and age of web cams, email, telephone and fax. You must be able to work under pressure and make sound decisions under such circumstances.
4. Energy
Starting and running a business requires considerable energy and the ability to focus on your objectives. 70 or 80 hours a week will be required which, if you are already in full time employed, quickly takes its toll. Energy levels must be high. It is vital you are in good health or you will not see your business through its' first year let alone its' first 5 or 10 years!
5. Sacrifice
If you wish to be successful you must initially give up a lot. Time, weekends, holidays and even money. In the first stages of a business you will have to forgo any earnings you may have received if you had stayed in full time employment. If you hold on to full time employment and start your own business you will soon find yourself working very long hours. For most people, there will be an overlap between employment and starting their own business. Are you able and willing to do this?
6. Organization
You will never have enough time in the day to achieve all you wish to achieve unless you are excellently organised. If you are a well-organised person you will breed confidence in those around you. Through organising and planning work, you will find your workload less burdensome. When you are in a position to employ others organisation complements the ability to delegate.
7. Determination
You must be 100% committed to your plan or you will not reach you goal. Don't give up even when obstacles seem overwhelming. Most people will expect you to fail. You must be determined never to give your opponents the satisfaction of ever seeing this.
8. Family Support
Trouble at home is the last thing you need when starting a business. The statistics in this area are grim ... a lot of break-ups occur during and immediately after a new business start up. Don't let this happen to you ... talk it over with those closest to you. Make sure you share common goals and objectives with your partner.
9. A Risk Lover
Starting a business can be a big risk and you need to be able to make risky decisions and cope with the consequences. Taking risks is commonplace with the entrepreneur ... opportunity comes with risk. It's know as the "risk-return" model; i.e. the higher the risk, the higher the return. Starting your own online business, while less risky than starting a traditional bricks and mortar business, is nevertheless, still risky; even if its just in terms of pride.
10. A Winner
A competitive spirit is almost mandatory. Are you competitive? Do you strive to be first or the best? Your hobbies and sporting interests can tell you a lot about your competitive nature. If you're a fighter, your chances for success is vastly improved.

10 Deadly Marketing Mistakes that Can Kill Your Online Business
Small business owners sometimes lament over the fact that they don't have a million-dollar marketing budget. While we've all thought about how much easier things would be if we had unlimited funds, it's still possible to earn a decent profit with the right marketing plan. Thousands of home business owners can attest to their success at building a profi business on a 'shoestring' budget.
However, making a few mistakes can just as easily lose you a nice chunk of cash. Are you making these common mistakes?
1. Trying to market to as wide an audience as possible.
You can't be everything to everyone, no matter how hard you try.
Who did you originally create your product for? Assuming you did your research and know that there's a demand for your product, then you also know who your audience is. Focus your efforts on reaching these people and showing them how your product or service will benefit them. Don't worry about pleasing everyone else.
2. Focusing too much on you or your company.
How many times have you seen a site that says something like, "We're an established, 100-year company listed on the NASDAQ with over 10 billion dollars in sales, powered by our cutting-edge, state-of-the-art blah-blah-blah technology..."
*Yawn*. So what? As a prospect, I don't care. I want to know how your product or service is going to benefit ME.
Focus on your customer. All the details about you and your company should be background information, not the focus of your marketing efforts.
3. Sticking with a marketing strategy that doesn't work.
Don't get caught up in the idea that 'things will get better' if you're not seeing results with your current marketing strategy. If you do the same things, you can expect the same results. If you've put in an honest effort and it's simply not giving you the results you're looking for, then it's time to try something else.
4. Changing or discarding a strategy that works.
It's easy to feel 'bored' with the same old thing... but if you have a winning marketing strategy that consistently gives results, then why change it?
The desire for 'something new' isn't a good reason to discard a great strategy. Sure, you can keep experimenting and testing new methods to see if you can improve upon your results... but be aware that your profits may suffer. Be sure to keep backups of all your marketing materials; if your new strategy doesn't work, you can always go back to the old one.
5. Inconsistent or no follow-ups.
Although some people buy on impulse, many prefer to think things over first. There can be any number of reasons why a prospect doesn't buy right away: money's tight at the time, they have other pressing concerns, they were distracted before they could purchase... whatever the reason, be sure to follow up with your prospects. You'll be much more likely to catch them at a time that they're ready to buy.
6. Taking a passive, rather than pro-active role.
Sitting back and waiting for money to fall into your lap just isn't going to work -- no matter how 'automated' your business is, or how wonderful your product. Take an active role in marketing your business... and that includes asking for referrals. Let your customers know that you'll do what you can make them happy, and ask them to pass along your URL to others who may be interested.
7. Expecting prospects to do too much.
Don't you just hate visiting a site, only to find that you either have to call for more information, or fill out a nosy form with lots of personal information so that the business can call you? Most people don't want to risk a high-pressure sales call, so they won't bother.
It's intrusive and can be time-consuming. Give your prospect the *option* of getting the information they want from the web, without having to speak directly to someone. Your phone number can be displayed as well, for those who prefer to talk to you or your staff in person.
That's not to say that asking for personal information -- or expecting a phone call -- is inappropriate for all businesses, of course. But in general, if you want people to stick around, make it easy for them.
8. Assuming that visitors know what to do.
I remember visiting one particular site not too long ago. I read the sales pitch and browsed the site... only to find a telephone number and a small form with a place for my email address. Confused, I thought, 'Am I supposed to call to order? What does the form do? Is it a newsletter signup box or is it an ordering form? How do I place an order?'
That site lost my sale, because there weren't any clear instructions. Tell your visitors what you would like them to do, and make the process as simple as possible.
9. Trying to do everything for free -- or not enough.
Many beginners try every free promotion method they can find. Others think that free promotions are useless, so they shell out large amounts of cash on what they believe are "effective" marketing methods.
* 'Free' isn't a 'bargain' if you don't get results.
* Throwing money at marketing isn't going to make your campaign a success.
There are plenty of excellent free or low-cost methods of promoting your business, and many methods that require a larger investment. Both provide excellent opportunities. The goal is to market your business using techniques that give you the largest return for your investment. And if it's free? So much the better; you'll reap larger profits!
10. Basing your marketing plan solely on assumptions or advice.
One common mistake is to do exactly what your competitors are doing. But just because they're doing something does not necessarily mean it's working! You could be copying a failing strategy.
There are countless marketing tips and many 'gurus'. Each one can only let you know what has worked for him or her. However, no matter how many people it's worked for, there is no guarantee that their strategies will work for you also. Studying as much of this material as you can will allow you to test and develop *your own* effective strategies -- those that directly bring results for your particular business.

On Using Twitter
Alright folks, I bet you guys have already heard of Twitter. In fact, you have been using it and already have hundreds, if not thousands of followers. So far, I have 185 followers and currently following 37 people. My Twitter Grade is 82 at the time of this writing.
My personal opinion of this micro-blogging tool is that Twitter is a fantastic tool. I read there are about 3 million Tweeple (Twitter people) and growing very fast. According to this post, Twitter have recently surpassed the Billionth tweet mark.
Most people I follow on Twitter are known Internet Marketers. They have 3000, 5000 to as much as 15000 followers! Pretty cool huh? I guess Twitter is now the micro-list builder tool, what ya think? XD You can set up an auto-welcome message to your new followers with TweetLater.com, autoresponder with Aweber, etc etc. For Twitter tools and Twitter-related sites, visit http://twitter-feiyie.blinkweb.com/about-twitter.html.
Anyways, I get some traffic from Twitter when I share links. Not that much coz I only have really few followers at the moment. When new people follow me, I don't usually follow them back. I only follow them back if they have responded to me even once. Auto-welcome not included. lol. Why? Because I wanna know how many people read my tweets. And I so don't wanna follow everyone where I can miss the people who give great tweets. Honestly, I really want to build relationships with them, I want them to be my Twitter friends. Well, I guess everytime I tweet, only a few followers actually read it. Pretty slack, ae? Maybe my location is one of the factor, my timezone is so much advance, specially that my followers are from the US. Or maybe they just don't read them. Oh well. Sorry for those whom I am not following back. Peace out. Well, I will follow them back if I feel that they read my tweets and give value to them.
One day I tweeted something like "If you respond to this tweet, I will follow you back. (if I'm not yet following you)" Well, only 1 person actually replied. And to my shock, it was Darren Olander. He's the owner of BuildMyDownlines and ListJumper and others. I'm a member of these two sites. Anyways, so yeah, what I wanna point out is, if you use Twitter, don't just use it for business. Have fun with it, make friends. After all, that is what successful internet marketers also tell us, right? Build relationships, whether networking or list building. I have some Twitter friends actually. They are cool.
While Twitter is such a great tool, you should learn how to use it properly. They block accounts that Twitter thit seems like a spam account. There are people who mass-follow people in order to get followers. These people think that every people who they follow will follow them back. I had another account where I tried doing it, and believe me, it just wouldn't work. I even have more followers to my Feiyie account than the other one. I strongly discourage you to mass-follow. Follow genuine people you really want to follow. But if you follow them and doesn't follow you back, fine. Try to reply to their tweets and be friends with them, they might likely follow you back one day. Time to make new friends via Twitter!
I have made this exclusive site for my Twitter Followers. I mught put up a blog on that site too. Feel free to visit at http://twitter-feiyie.blinkweb.com/. You can also grab some Twitter freebies there. lol. If you are not yet following me, then hit that Follow button now. :)
If you are reading this because you got it from Twitter, then post your Twitter link here so I can follow you back! :) A way of saying thanks for following me on Twitter. lol
Cheers,

How To Earn Money Online
Want to know how to earn money online? Rest assured, there are many, many ways to earn money from home using the internet. Here are just three (3) ways to earn money on the internet.
1. Selling Information Products
If you are knowledgeable in a particular niche - a profession, hobby, sport or past-time - and there is a high demand for your knowledge and know-how, you may have the makings of one of the best ways to earn money on the internet: selling information products.
Alternatively, if you do a little research and find that there is high demand for information on a subject that you're willing to learn, or pay someone to acquire for you, you don't even need to be an expert yourself. If you package up that knowledge in the form of an ebook, book, audio program, video or any other form of information product (or all forms!) you'll have a product you can sell to those who want it.
Selling information products is a great way to earn money on the Internet. They generally offer high profit margins and once you've got the product, it's just a matter of selling it to earn money fast.
To get started, you'll need the product and a website. You'll also need a strategy for generating traffic (visitors) to your website and converting that traffic into customers. All that can be learned. If can find a topic that many people are eager to pay money to learn about, selling information products is a great way to earn money on the internet.
2. Affiliate Marketing
Of course, you don't need to create your own product (or have a product created) in order to earn money from home. You can actually earn money fast by selling affiliate products. This is where you receive a commission in return for referring people to a given product or service provided by another company.
It's fairly easy to become an affiliate. You can join an affiliate network (networks of merchants all willing to pay you commission for referring customers to them) and use advertising or other techniques to promote products to your customers. How do you get customers? Well that's an article - actually a course - in itself! However, it can be as straightforward as advertising on the major search engines.
3. Running an E-Commerce Store
If you like the idea of selling stuff, running an ecommerce store is another way to earn money from home. While it may take a little time building the store and attracting web traffic, once you've got a regular stream of buyers, this is a terrific way to earn money fast. When it comes to the question of how to earn money online, the main advantage of having an ecommerce store, as opposed to selling information products, is that most people who visit your site are already wanting to BUY something (as opposed to finding free information).
So which way to earn money online is right for you? It should be the way that appeals to you most, based on your aptitude, circumstances and objectives.

5 Qualities For Affiliate Marketing
More and more people these days are turning to one of the most popular businesses around - the business of affiliate marketing. In this business, there are no bosses, deadlines to meet, or piles of work that have to be finished by the end of the day. In order to succeed, you only need the necessary tools.
There are basically five things you can't do without if you want to make it in the business of affiliate marketing. Below, you'll find each quality you'll need.
1. Desire to learn
The first quality you must possess is the desire to learn, coupled with the willingness to be trained. Treading through unfamiliar territory is tough indeed, especially if your lacking the right knowledge. This is a combination of the right frame of mind, coupled with a strong work ethic.
When starting out, you'll need to be willing to keep your eyes and ears open, using the experience of others to learn more as you go.
2. Invest time and effort
The second quality you must have is the willingness to invest time and effort in helping your business grow, even if you don't see immediate results. Even though weeks may pass without hearing good news, it's very important for anyone who wants to get their foot in the business world.
3. Determination
The third quality you'll need is determination. If you want to make it in the world of affiliate marketing, you must possess to push yourself forward. The ability to push yourself to greater heights will determine what type of future you have.
4. Discipline
The fourth quality is self discipline. If you teach yourself to work everyday with all of your heart and soul, you'll be that much closer to reaching your goals and making your dreams come true.
5. Optimism
The last quality you must have is optimism. Bad attitudes should never discourage an affiliate marketer from pursuing their dreams in order to make life better for themselves or anyone around them.
The attitude you have towards the business should always be good, because you'll have to realize that you're the captain of your ship and your the one steering it towards destiny.
If you put the above tips to good use, you'll go farther than you ever thought possible in the world of affiliate marketing. You'll need these qualities to succeed, as affiliate marketing can be a cutting edge career. With the above qualities, you'll do just fine in the industry.
Keep it real,
P.S.

IM Gurus has been robbed for Biggest Firesale
Vince Tan is at it again.
In case the name Vince Tan is not yet ringing any bells with you, this is the guy that pulled off one of the biggest firesales of 2007, doing $69,000 in sales in a mere 7 days.. out of nowhere.
Yes, he came out of nowhere and racked up the kind of sales that some never accomplish after years of being online.
He proved that it you WANT it you can do it. In fact, Vince became quite the inspiration for many a marketer who never thought this kind of fast online success to be possible.
So, here's why we're talking about this now, in 2008. you see, Vince is going to do it again, this time shooting for 6 or even SEVEN figures with NO out of pocket expenses!
Vince has made it his personal goal to show that ANYONE that wants to accomplish this kind of success online can do it, regardless of how much money they have OR don't have to start with.
Vince's firesale will go live on 18th November, BUT for now, you stand a chance to win the complete firesale package plus some other extra stuff worth $1,500 (or more!) by going to the site below and guessing the total value of the firesale package!
Remember, that's 100+ top IM products that are currently selling in the market Today!
Of course I've already put in my guess ;)
Click Here >>
Vince has already managed to get over 100 Top Marketers to join forces on this, again, without spending any of his own money, so you really should follow this closely, and be on the lookout for the official launch on November 18th, 2008.

Affiliate Marketing in a Nutshell
What exactly is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is the single fastest growth industry on the Internet. It’s also true that affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and most creative ways to make money and have a career on the Internet.
Simply put, affiliate marketing is selling products on a commission basis. You own a business that advertises and sells products for other companies. You may have a product of your own to begin with or not. The things that a successful affiliate marketer must have are:
1. Your website is the jumping off point of all your marketing efforts. So the first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website. You must build a user-friendly website, which will attract your prospects and motivate them to click on the links to the products and services you are promoting and make a purchase. There are companies whose business is building websites that you can hire to build one for you.
2. You must find products to sell, you must be able to determine whether there is a demand for those products and if people will actually buy them. You may either have your own original product or products that are made by others. Which ever way you go, you must believe in the products.
3. It will be necessary for you to become an adept advertiser and be able to tell whether the advertising you are paying for is producing more income for you than the advertising is costing you.
4. It is necessary that you have good mathematical skills. You will need to be able to track your sales and determine profit, as well as, see to it that your suppliers are paid in full and on time.
5. You need the full and unwavering support of your family so that you can devote the time and energy necessary to launch your affiliate marketing business.

My Review of Rob Toth's Dear Employee Reports and His 28th-Birthday Promo
Here's a over-done model...
Man (or woman) makes a lot of money.
Man (or woman) then sells a book explaining how they made a lot of money.
Now, I have no problems with the above as long as:
1) The person did, in fact, create the results BEFORE they started selling how-to information.
and
2) The information they provide is really of high value.
And that brings me to Rob Toth's "Dear Employee" series because his current 28th Birthday promo is getting a lot of buzz.
He ran a similar birthday sale last year which was a temporary offer, but I think this one has even more of a punch to it. (And yes, I do recommend it).
The core of the offer is a sharply discounted combination of his 4 reports which explain online income models, present some of his own philosophies (such as his concept of "building an audience" which isn't entirely new but has a bit of a different spin than what I've read elsewhere), and he also presents some of the ways he has created quick cash in the past for his own needs. Plus plenty more.
I've read his reports. They're well written and I like the fact that it's a single spaced, regular font sized group of ebooks and each still manages to have 40-70 pages.
He also weaves in video tutorials directly into a couple of the reports to further explain his concepts.
In case you still haven't read over his promo, the 4 reports I'm talking about are:
1) "Dear Employee, Your Job Sucks: Create New Income Streams Through Automated Marketing Without Quitting Your Job ... Yet!"
2) "Freelancing: The Real Work At Home Job Opportunity ... Trade Your Time and Skills For a Paycheck Working From Home"
3) "Ridiculous Income Goals... And How Others Are Turning Them Into Reality"
and
4) "My Quick Money Ideas That Worked: What I Did To Pay Off A $1200 Loan In 36 Hours, Finance A $2700 Event In 3 Weeks and Earn $331 For 2 Hours of Work"
Rob has literally hundreds of testimonials from his readers (in fact, a long list of them are posted at his page) and he certainly is known and respected among marketers. He has been a guest expert-speaker on calls with several of the "big names".
He's an authority worth listening to and, he did build his income before selling these reports. So he's good in my books!
As I mentioned yes, I recommend his series and, even more so, I recommend his 28th Birthday offer.
The Birthday Sale package includes *a lot* more than just these 4 reports. He also throws in his traffic course (which I've skimmed and looks quite good and publicly retails for over 5X the cost of this entire pack) and then there are plenty of other bonuses plus 9 new products with Private Label Rights licenses.
This last one's huge because if you sell just ONE copy of just ONE of those 9 products, you'll recoup a lot more than the investment into the entire package.
I haven't even had a chance to look through everything I bought but I can say that what I've already seen is indeed worth a lot more than his theme-based $8 asking price.
Yes, his promo is only $8 (in theme with his "28th" birthday).
There are hundreds of dollars worth of regular retail value here (and thousands of dollars worth of content, product development, graphics, salescopy and more). At $8, you really WILL kick yourself if you don't at least look into all this.
Here's the page:
http://www.urlfreeze.com/feiyie/L-96ad/
Cheers to future success,
PS. This is a limited time offer. So far, from what I've seen of Rob, when he says "limited time offer" he means it. In fact, he has a reputation building for this. He sticks to his word. And I know his last year's birthday sale was indeed closed down as promised. It's safe to say this too will be randomly closed down in the coming days.

My Adsense PIN
I finally received my Google Adsense PIN yesterday. After like 2 weeks of showing Google Public Service Ads. lol
Well, I only have some $20+ on my account but with my new sites, I am expecting to have some increase. hehe. Hopefully...
Some simple tips to increase Adsense earnings:
1. Write quality content.
2. Blend colors.
3. If you can integrate your ads within your content, it would be great. (I don't know how to do this. lol)
4. Join some sites that share Adsense revenue. Here's some:
* YouSayToo.com - Revenue Sharing Community
* PrintNPost.com - Get Paid To Blog
* Internet Markeing Forum - If you're an Internet Marketer, you should join this.
* Bloggeries Forum - Tools For The Blogosphere
5. Don't just make niche blogs because they have high PPC bids. Some do this. This is great if you know how to drive more traffic to that blog or site.
So there. Hopefully, I can get my first check from Adsense very soon. lol

Money Making Tips
Affiliate marketing is all about getting paid for selling products you don't own and not going to jail for it. Someone else goes through all of the trouble to develop software programs, service, or digital content products. They'll do all the work then you collect the money!
Affiliate marketing is a revenue sharing arrangement between the product developer, known as the affiliate merchant, and the affiliate marketer who is anyone that's willing to promote the sale of product by advertising the product using any type of legal means available.
The relationship will allow the affiliate merchant to grow their revenue by paying only for the advertising that results in a sale. The affiliate marketer will profit by making a percentage on a sale that he does not have to manage after the sale.
Getting paid
Getting paid all depends upon how the affiliate program is set up. Some merchants will run their own affiliate program. They'll have special types of software that assigns each affiliate marketer a special link that's used in promoting the product.
The software will track sales of every marketer and the merchant will pay the commission on a periodic basis using either PayPal or another method of payment.
Selecting products or services
Your income is directly tied to how well your selected product or service sells, and the size of the commission you earn, which makes it very important that you choose carefully when it comes to choosing the affiliate merchant you'll be partnering with.
Choose programs that you aren't embarrassed to promote and programs that you'll feel comfortable recommending to your family and friends if they were to ask you about it.
You'll do much better if you promote products that you fully understand and are already familiar with. This way, you'll be able to write better ads without having to strain yourself coming up with the right things to say.
You should only promote products and services for companies who have gone through the trouble to provide you with training programs and sales aids such as banners and other marketing materials that you can either use directly or model the one you own after.
Be on the lookout for programs with commission rates no less than 50%. You should give preference to programs that pay commission on multiple levels, which means you'll also have to earn commissions on sales made by people who buy the products through your link then go on and become affiliates themselves later on.

Google Analytics
I just added Google Analytics tracking codes to my blogs. I am using AddFreeStats and SiteMeter to track the visits to my blogs. I thought of installing it because I'm pretty sure that it would be more great because I so love Google. haha.
Google Analytics (abbreviated GA) is a free service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. Its main highlight is that the product is aimed at Marketers as opposed to webmasters and technologists from which the industry of web analytics originally grew.
GA can track visitors from all referrers, including search engines, display advertising, pay-per-click networks, email marketing and even digital collateral such as links within PDF documents.
Integrated with AdWords, users can optimize online campaigns by tracking landing page quality and conversions (goals). Goals might include sales, lead generation, viewing a specific page, or downloading a particular file. These can also be monetized. By using GA, marketers can determine which ads are performing, and which are not, providing the information to optimise or cull campaigns.
GA's approach is to show high level dashboard-type data for the casual user, and more in-depth data further into the report set. Through the use of GA analysis, poor performing pages can be identified using techniques such as funnel visualization, where visitors came from (referrers), how long they stayed and their geographical position. It also provides more advanced features, including custom visitor segmentation.
To read more about Google Analytics, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Analytics.
The New Google Analytics
Google Analytics has been re-designed to help you learn even more about where your visitors come from and how they interact with your site.
Discover. Share. Act.
The new Google Analytics makes it easy to improve your results online. Write better ads, strengthen your marketing initiatives, and create higher-converting websites. Google Analytics is free to all advertisers, publishers, and site owners.
Test your website and increase conversions.
You can now use your Google Analytics login to access Website Optimizer. Find out which page designs, headlines, and graphics convert the most visitors.

Stomping the Search Engines 2
I got the notice from Post Fiji yesterday that says I have a parcel. And I just got the letter after a week because it was just yesterday when mom opened our postbox because she went to Nadi for like a week. So yeah. I wasn't expecting anything and I was wondering what could it be. So I went to the Post Office in town a while ago.
I paid $2.40 to get it. But it was okay. Thinking I get a Press Copy of Stomping the Search Engine 2, it's gonna be all worth it! :) I didn't even pay for its Shipping and Handling. According to the receipt, the postage and fees was like $26.22. lol

Why won't he keep a secret?
Joel Comm apparently can’t keep a secret.
For some reason, he took it upon himself to tell the stories of ordinary people who have made some very extraordinary achievements.
You may know Joel as the guy who figured out how to make Google’s Adsense a money-pumping oil well and then turned around and wrote a New York Times best-selling book about it (The
Adsense Code)…
…pulling back the curtain so the rest of us can do what he has done.
Many who implemented his recommendations generated significant passive income which continues to this day.
This time, instead of reverse engineering a specific method of making money online, he instead has many of the top internet entrepreneurs in his sights.
- Why did they decide to start selling online?
- What were they doing before they started selling online?
- Were there any specific, duplicatable qualities that made them successful?
If you’ve ever wished you could have a personal conversation with one of the top internet marketers and ask how they made the transition from “normal” life to Internet Marketing rock star, Joel has gone out and done it, and more.
He cornered over forty internet marketers and forced them to document how they began, what makes them tick…
And not only that, he dug deep and provided us with the rich background of the trailblazers who “laid the tracks” so the Internet, the Web, hypertext, and the browser –which we all take for granted now-- could be developed, enjoyed and used in our businesses every day.
He’s given us the inside scoop on:
- The guy who predicted hypertext… in 1945?
- The first spam message, unleashed in 1982.
- The inventor of the modern browser, the “key” that makes internet marketing what it is today.
Joel takes us back to the “glory days” of dialup connections with 300 baud modems and leads us in a revealing romp to the present...
Providing keen insight into the mindset of those early pioneers... many of whom are still active in the marketplace today.
You can get your very own copy of this piece of Internet Marketing history on August 1: Joel’s new book, Click Here to Order.
With all the fervor of a tent-revival evangelist, Joel retells stories such as:
- How the Army helped Mark Joyner become a millionaire (read page 129 and see how he could have learned the lesson without the Army).
- Why Declan Dunn became known as “the online guy” (page 64).
- The event where the “Unknown Copywriter” was christened (were you there? And who is this mysterious person? Read page 79 to find out).
- The fourteen year old girl who started a simple website that will pay her way through college (page 86).
- One of today’s top marketers who walked out of a job interview at IBM because the interviewer didn’t like his tie (no joke…read about it on page 181).
If you’re one of the “gang”, get in line to get your copy. If you want to figure out how these “average Joes” learned how to turn their computers into ATMs, then you will definitely want to
claim your copy of this book.
Click Here To Order is a front row seat to one of the year’s can’t miss shows.
You will want to grab your own personal copy as soon as it becomes available.
It's only $12.21 in Amazon. Plus you'll get a lot of bonuses!
What are you waiting for? To get Joel Comm’s new book, where he blows the cover off of the Internet Marketers’ vault of secrets, go to:
