Could you use it too?

Were you able to grab your copy of 2k in 30 days?
Why should you? Well, I just checked my new eBay Partner account, and one method I cover in the report will net me $500 this month, for 11 minutes of work. That’s $2725 an hour. I’m not telling you to brag, just impress upon you how simple this really is.

I sometimes chuckle when I run across programs claiming you’ll earn 20k a month, or even 10k in a short period of time. Sure, these numbers (and more) are possible, but they take time and often lots of work.

One of the best ways to learn how to do something is to watch someone doing it. Better yet, watch and have them explain how they did it.
In making a living online, it’s the same thing. If you can find someone running a successful site that will share their strategies and show you what they did, you’re more likely to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. With a successful guide or example, you can apply those same strategies to your own sites with more confidence. Just like following a blueprint. You may even be more successful that the example you used!

I noticed this article by Yaro Starak and thought it contained excellent tips for newer bloggers looking to increase their traffic. Enjoy!
——-
In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.

Traffic.
It’s what every web site, and especially every blog needs. But how do you get more traffic?
There are many different ways including leveraging content, using comments, focusing on keywords, tagging, rss feeds, niche blogging, email list and more, and I suggest working on a few at a time to build up a steady stream of traffic and then move on to other strategies. By working on a few at a time you can measure their effectiveness, make changes if necessary and then continue to build.
And traffic is only one factor to a successful blog. Monetization, pillar articles, design, marketing, branding, sourcing content, publicity, newsletters, rss feeds all play a part in a blog that’s successful, both your visitors and you will enjoy and only takes you a few hours a day to maintain.
Well known blogger Yaro Starak has a mentoring program where he teaches how to work part-time to make a full-time living from your blog. He’s been blogging successfully for years and shares his strategies on every aspect of blogging and regularly does case studies with his members. He’s put together a BluePrint for Bloggers that goes over his strategy for profitable blogging and is available for download at no cost.
Check out his case study on getting more traffic to a blog as well as a complete lesson from his blog mentoring program, Marketing with Conversations where you’ll learn the important aspects of communicating effectively with your visitors to keep them coming back. Grab the audio MP3 of the entire lesson as well to listen while you workout or drive. These are full case studies and lessons straight from his mentoring program.
Update: Yaro is closing BlogMastermind on Monday Dec 10th for some time to make upgrades to the membership. He’s indicated that when the membership reopens next year, pricing will increase to reflect the additional content. This won’t affect current members, new members won’t be able to join until upgrades are completed.
To your profitable blogging!

Believe me, I’m not a slacker and I don’t shun hard work. (I’ve done my share of sleepless nights cranking out projects!)
It just comes down to this. If you can earn more money working less, working smarter, why spend hours, days, weeks or months slaving away for much less?
I’ve just had the pleasure of going through Project Quick Cash, a project that has taken quite a few affiliate marketers by surprise (including myself). Maybe you’ve heard about the almost 2,000 visitors Jonathan Leger got to a brand new site in less than 3 weeks using these techniques. Or the $13,150 Alok Jain earned for 2 hours of work, or the $585.50 he earned in one day for 20 minutes of work.
This all came from 5 techniques that even most seasoned marketers hadn’t heard about and I almost guarantee you haven’t heard of most of them presented this way either (especially the Breaking and Entering technique on page 80, Super Targeting on page 48 and Cashing the Spike #2 on page 24). They often take less than an hour to implement, don’t require any technical or HTML skills, and all are no or low cost to implement. And better yet, they generate affiliate commissions fast, often in minutes.
Check out this video for more:
Not everyone will be able to attain 5 figure returns from some of these techniques since we all have different abilities, although they can return a significant amount of extra income if implemented.
Overall, it’s a real pleasure to see something come out that’s different that what you see everywhere else, is well written, and most importantly really works.

To your best success!

It’s unusual that I’m writing about this since it has nothing to do with internet marketing, although it has everything to do with making money.
You see, I’m a firm believer in having multiple streams of income.. not having all your eggs in one basket. In case one or two drop off, you always have several other streams that keep coming in. As an online marketer, this is essential in my book.
For example, if you relied on one income stream (maybe your job or your online marketing income) and suddenly it dried up overnight, what would you do? Would it cause you and your family significant stress? By always adding additional income streams, you’re insulating yourself from market changes that can affect your financial well being as well as stress over money. And money is one of the top things most people worry about today.
Now I’ve been watching this strategy for the past month and have to admit that I’m stunned to say the least (I can’t say that too often). It’s one thing to read about something, but to actually see it, well, you have to see it for yourself.
Especially yesterday, when I saw $1,100 turn into $1,680 in less than a day, that’s $580 in profit. Not bad for about 5 minutes of ‘work’ (if you call it that). This isn’t a fluke, there is proof of it working most every week of the year.
You don’t need any experience, it’s quite easy and you can often double your money
every week. Using the power of reinvesting profits, you can quickly build up a serious cash flow. Some would say an income to rival top earners in most every profession. But of course you’re not working, just working smart. That’s the strategy the wealthy use, invest once and compound your profits. Let your money work for you, don’t work for the money.
I touched on this the other day in my ‘Stop Trading Time For Dollars‘ post. The only way to truly take the lid off your income potential is to let information and money work for you. And there’s always some risk, but of course nothing worth getting is completely risk free, right?
You may have seen this newsletter and software reviewed on some television financial networks and it’s been praised for it’s simplicity and stunning accuracy.
While you’re reading, grab the report Michael offers, he gives away lots of great information at no cost.
Hope this helps!

There are basically two ways of earning money online.
First, you can trade your time for money. If you’re working by the hour or on salary, then you are trading your time for a paycheck. This is how most folks make money, by working for others by the hour. Although this seems like a dependable and ’secure’ income, it puts a cap on how much you can earn. There are only so many hours in a day you can work. And the income is never really secure, your employer can decide at any time to let you go.
Second, you can trade products or information for money. This usually involves buying rights to a product or creating your own information product. This method gives you unlimited income potential, you can create something once and continue to get paid, possibly for a lifetime (at least the lifetime of the product).
If you look at most of the top earning marketers online, what do they have in common? Most, if not all, have at least one or more products of their own.
If you don’t have a product you can sell, or don’t know how to get started, Marlon Sanders has introduced a resource that walks you through creating an information product, step by step, called Info-Product Dashboard.
Marlon’s created something I haven’t found before, a complete blueprint of how to create an information product, an ebook, CD, DVD, audio program… any type of information product in 6 weeks or less. The way Marlon designed it is that you take an action each day, normally around 20-30 minutes, by following his dashboard of steps. He uses easy to follow outlines, screen captures, and video where needed and makes this dead-easy simple.
If you don’t have any of the software tools he recommends, no worries, there are also free alternatives he provides as well. If you don’t have any specific knowledge on a topic to write about, he has a solution. As Marlon puts it, he wants to remove all obstacles that may prevent you from creating your own information product. And I believe he’s accomplished that and more.
If you follow the steps as he’s outlined, you’ll have an information product of your own before you know it. It doesn’t need to take 6 weeks to do it either. Depending on how much time you have available, you can be done in a week or just a few days.
Many times when you mention creating a product it sounds like a huge project and we often feel overwhelmed. Where do I start? What to do next? How do I do that? One of the things I like best about Marlon’s Info-Product Dashboard is that it breaks up the process into a step by step blueprint that’s easy to follow. Six steps a week, follow the dotted lines. As Marlon says, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! And that’s how you create an information product of your own, one step at a time.
If you’re ready to start trading information for dollars rather than your time, and take the cap off your income, I highly recommend Info-Product Dashboard. Marlon’s mission is to help others break through any limitations and obstacles in being able to create their own products. I’ve been using his products since Marlon started online and like his other information marketing products, the Info-Product Dashboard is no different, TOP NOTCH!
To your best success!
Mark
P.S. You may be saying hold on, there are other ways to make money online! Yes, there is a third option that includes affiliate marketing and related strategies. These also normally fall under trading information for money since your income isn’t tied to how much time you work, but to the results of your (often) one time marketing efforts.

In most Internet Marketing circles, the Christmas holiday season isn’t the hottest time of year for sales. Most parents don’t surf the net to buy their kids an ebook on how to use Web 2.0 tools to increase traffic to your sites, right?
I was reflecting on this last year and found an interesting report about selling toys on eBay. An internet marketer selling toys? I thought the same until I re-read the report and studied the market quickly.
[Side Bar: Did you know more buyers will use eBay for their holiday shopping this year than any other online site, including heavyweight Amazon.com? ]
In fact, I was so intrigued that before I finished the second read I had already found half a dozen potential deals, located shops near my home that carried in-demand toys I found and started setting up auctions.
Anyway, before I get ahead of myself I need to tell you that if you don’t like to shop or ship, this may not be for you. You will need to drive to a few stores and then ship your winning auctions when they finish. But for this little work you’ll be very well rewarded.
One of the more intriguing things I found in the report was that even if I bought an in-demand toy at retail price, I could still make a profit. Why? This was the interesting part I never realized. You see, a hot toy that is available in your area may not be available in another part of the country. And when you find something in demand, the retail price doesn’t matter, the price often goes way over retail price because the buyer has no other way of getting that item! And often price sensitivity goes out the window during the holidays when anxious parents and grandparents shop for their children.
This is only one section of the report, Jenni, the author, also shows exactly what toys are hot and upcoming. Literally a list of predicted hot sellers. This made the process so easy, just pick a toy and start looking. She also includes updates as you get closer to Christmas day.
The gift buying season has just started. If you’re looking for a way to help others get what they’re looking for and get paid well for your efforts, I highly recommend Jenni’s Toy Guide.
To the start of a happy (and profitable) holiday season!
Mark
P.S. Jenni has offered this report during previous Christmas seasons and they were right on and very profitable to many. Jenni’s eBay Toy Guide.
