I recently ran across two tools that I found quite handy for most any online marketer, and especially bloggers. As you may know, I’m a big fan of tools that make it easier for me to work online and review many applications and scripts that can save me time and money.
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.

If you’re like me, you understand the value of leveraging semi-exclusive content to get traffic to your sites, fast.
PLR articles is one way to leverage your time, but another overlooked source are datafeeds.

This is a really clever way to increase your opt-in conversions as well as profits. In fact, when I saw it I thought to myself, ‘why didn’t I think of that?’.
I mean, we know video works, so why not use it?
One of the secrets to marketing online successfully is to automate as much as possible.
And the 3 most crucial components of your site marketing campaigns are the lead capture, upsell or back-end offers and your affiliate program. The more automated and easier you can make these steps for your customers and affiliates, the more successful your site will be.

Are you ready for a true innovation that’s taking viral marketing to a new level? Literally, viral marketing on steroids?
Have you taken measures to ensure that you’re the first and not the last? Because, my recommendation is that you better start getting ready for it.
I recently ran across this by chance and it’s about to catch everyone by surprise.
I just learned about an opportunity for resell rights to a product in a very hot market today: video.This software allows you to brand any video with your affiliate links (doesn’t need to be your own video) as well as creating a page to display it properly. No video editing is needed, and no HTML or web page design experience is required either.
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!

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!

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.
