I’ll get to that in a minute. You’ll see, it will make perfect sense.

You see, most people make getting an online business, and especially one that can bring in substantial income – over $100k or more a year, quite difficult.

One of the reasons is that they focus on the ‘make money online’ niche which can be very competitive. Not that you can’t do it, but there are so many niches where being able to provide a great service to others and make over six figures with much, much less effort.

By making it simple, you leave more time for other things in your life, like living! Spending more time with your family, friends, on your personal interests, your church, giving back, traveling… so many things we all want to have time to do.

Now… to what all the folks above and you have in common.

You see, my friend Paul Evans has mastered the art of simplifying online business building. He’s mastered getting things done faster than almost anyone I know. And he’s one of the most ethical people I’ve come across in my 14 years working online.

Paul has built many successful businesses and he’s made a case study about one in particular that I think you’d like to learn about. It’s in a niche you would never think could do six figures a year, but it does. And get this, he spends less than 2 hours a month on it.

You see, by keeping it simple, really simple, he’s built a business that not only is successful, but helps orphans on three different continents. How cool is that?

And both Perry Lawrence (Ask Mr. Video) and Carrie Wilkerson (The Barefoot Executive) are big fans of Paul’s ’simple’ strategy to building an online business that can generate six figures with only 30 minutes of work weekly. They’ve both benefited from Paul’s training and highly endorse it.

And how do you fit in?

After you watch the case study and see how Paul has set this business up to run on almost auto-pilot, you’ll be ready to do the same thing, in most any niche you want. This could change the way you do business online. Perhaps even change your life, right? All from a six figure business that takes less than a few hours of work a month.

I’ve learned a great deal from Paul and highly recommend anything he does. This case study is no different. After you see how he’s built this six figure business in a niche that most think have no money, you’ll see how you can use this same simple strategy to build yours.

If you were to pick one activity you can do to add more backlinks to your sites, increase your pagerank as well as traffic to your sites, what would it be?

There are many different ways you can increase traffic to your site, but the one that has been most effective for me has been writing articles.

Articles help you build much needed backlinks to your sites from a variety of article repositories, directories and blogs, helping your site increase in relevance, page rank and most importantly, helping you gain more targeted traffic.

But for most of us, writing articles doesn’t come easy. Some take hours just to create one article, most struggle with how to come up with ideas or the format and then give up.

That’s too bad since articles are a great way to funnel traffic to your sites.

But this is no longer an issue.

I just picked up an easy to use tool that allowed me to write my first article in just over 4 minutes, the next one in 3 and a half and the third in just under 5 minutes.

Although I’ve never had a problem writing articles, this tool make it easy to put together my thoughts in just minutes. I can now get 10 times as many articles done in one sitting, giving me 10 times as much exposure. It’s also saved me at least 2 hours a week, time I can put towards my business or spending more time with my family. Priceless.

Check out this video that shows exactly how you can use this tool to save time and increase your traffic.

To your best success!

As you may know, the long awaited WordPress Version 3.0 was released a few days ago and is now available to download directly from WordPress.org or upgrade through your control panel.

But should you upgrade now?

Well, yes and no… my answer will depend on a few things.

If you have a simple blog that doesn’t use many plugins, then I may upgrade to 3.0.

But, if you run many plugins that are essential to your blog or run membership sites using plugins like WishList for example, my answer would be no.

Since this is a major WP upgrade with over 1,200 bug fixes, incorporation of MU (multiple blog management from one installation), a new standard theme, new menu system and many more upgrades, my recommendation is to wait until you test or hear from the creators of the plugins that are essential to your blog to confirm they are compatible with 3.0 before upgrading.

For example, since Wishlist is the membership plugin we use to run most of our sites (we now use Wishlist for all our membership sites and most every new site we create is a membership site), they have announced an upgrade that is necessary for it to work with WP 3.0. So until that’s available, we’re waiting and will test other essential plugins to insure they work with 3.0 as well. Sometimes one plugin can break your entire blog, so as standard practice, and especially with major upgrades like WP 3.0, we test everything before upgrading. Often I like to wait a few weeks to see feedback from other users as well as plugin authors to see when upgrading makes sense and the chances of trouble are low.

If you do decide to upgrade, I highly recommend backing up your WP database tables using a plugin like WP DB Backup beforehand.

If you’re installing a new blog using Fantastico in CPanel, you’ll need to wait a bit before 3.0 becomes available through that interface. Currently Fantastico is installing and upgrading to 2.9.2. Of course, you can download 3.0 directly from WordPress.org.

Let me know what you think and your experiences with the new 3.0 version of WordPress.

Recently a small group of like-minded folks gathered in Las Vegas.

They are a part of a little know community of people dedicated to growing their online businesses. Although reaching earnings of $1000 a day is their stated goal, their approach is of giving and sharing their knowledge and experience to help others reach that goal. It’s a tight-knit community, generous with help and welcoming to others with similar goals.

They were all there to learn and share their experiences with others. But there was one big difference between this gathering.

Those speaking shared how they accomplished what they were teaching. They ‘walked the talk’ and showed those in attendance how and what they did. They were also there to learn from others as well and it showed that they really care about the success of those they help. They were there to change lives and to help others launch their online businesses and make them a career or full time business this year.

No hype, just straightforward, honest ‘how to’ information.

Information like:

• how to create information products fast (15 minutes!)
• how to make membership sites quickly (from scratch)
• how to use video and why it’s more important now than at any other time in history
• how to outsource and automate your business so you can do whatever you want
• little known affiliate and niche marketing strategies
• why it’s essential to build a list and grow your business
• the mindset of successful online marketers
• how to grab a #1 position on Google in less than 34 days
• Wordpress autopilot strategies
• how to leverage everything you do
• how to run your business successfully part time
• online marketing for offline businesses
• and much more.

Over 13 hours of content that is vital to the success of any online business… whether you’re just starting or a seasoned online veteran.

You can struggle on your own, making mistakes, correcting and going from project to project. Or, you can learn from someone that has already done what you want to accomplish, first hand, cutting the learning curve down and put it into action now. You can avoid all the time, expenses and hit and miss… and start building your successful online businesses now.

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas… but this time it didn’t. (and you’ll be glad it didn’t once you see this!)

Check out this video that shows you why.

The person that gets more done in one day than most get done in a week. The marketer that gets more sites online in a week than most do in a year. Or the product developer that puts out product after product after product.

You may wonder, how’d they do that?

It’s all about systems. That’s the secret.

It’s about how much you can get done with the limited time we have. It’s about knowing what to do in that time. We all have the same amount of time, it’s just what we do with it, right?

Learn the exact blueprint of the systems a young internet marketer that’s not even 25 years old uses to crank out articles in 5 minutes, products in a day and earn over $20,000 a month! Learn how he does it here.

You see, you can’t make more money if you don’t get more done with the time you have.

And I’m not talking about working more. No, no, no.  It’s working smarter using systems to crank out products and market them so you make more money by actually working less. You get so much more done in the same time, you just get much more return (money) on your time now.

Check out how to get more done and how to increase your income substantially by just changing what you do in the same time you’ve always had.

You can keep trying to figure out how -they- did it, or start doing it with these easy to follow blueprints and be the one everyone is asking – how did you get so much done?

This new version includes many more instant commission payment affiliate programs and removes old ones. The new version also includes more affiliate marketing content and tips as well. Existing ACI owners will get the new version at no cost as soon as it’s released.

The question I’d like your opinion on is this:

Would you want affiliate marketing training included with Affiliate Commissions Instantly and pay a little more, or do you just want the list of instant payment affiliate programs and the software at the same price?

Let me know below and thanks for your feedback!

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

One of the things we run into as affiliate marketers is that often savvy visitors won’t click on an obvious affiliate link. Often times not even if it’s cloaked.

What’s the solution?

A new Wordpress Plugin called CookieFire from Tony Shepard solves this by allowing you to quietly and invisibly cookie your visitors with your affiliate link so you get credit whether they click on your link or not!

This is an easy solution to your link cloaking and affiliate commission credit challenges.

It’s dead-easy simple to use, takes less than a minute to install and only seconds to setup the affiliate link to your post.

You can use this to promote any (or all) of the instant affiliate commission programs found in Affiliate Commissions Instantly. Here’s one strategy. I would recommend focusing on one niche of products per blog, or categorize your posts by niche to make it easy for your visitors to find them. Then just write a short blog post about each of the products you’re promoting, focusing on the benefits and how they solve a problem, and attach the affiliate link to it using the plugin so you get credit for any sales… regardless if your visitors click on your affiliate link.

And the best part is that this plugin is free. No catch either, just visit the site and download it. You can use it on an unlimited number of blog sites as well.

To your best success!

How to get more traffic.

It’s one of the most asked questions I receive.

And ‘How to get more opt-in subscribers’.

It’s also on the top of the list.

And it’s not surprising… without one or the other, you won’t do too much business online.

To answer these questions, I’ve been playing around with a few strategies. These strategies have been around for a while and I wanted to see if they produce.

Well, after a few months I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

What did I do?

Write articles.

Simple? Yes, but it can also be very time consuming and a waste of time without a little twist.

So I tried the “lazy man’s” approach and just wrote a few articles. In fact, to make it even easier, I took some blog posts I had made and quickly turned them into articles.

Here’s what I did.

I took one afternoon and wrote (or converted from blog posts) 8 articles. Maybe 2 or 3 hours total time.

I posted these articles on my blog and then proceeded to look for article directories to submit them. Submitting manually was tedious and proved to be the longest part of the process until I stumbled upon this software.

I had tried different software over the years, but with most often with poor results. They were either difficult to use, only submitted to a small number of directories or cost an arm and a leg.. with costly updates.

But this software was different.

It was intuitive, easy to enter my articles and select the directories I wanted to submit to. It also allowed me to rotate different article titles, article text and the resource box as well. Another cool thing is that it showed what the signup process was for each one and lets me signup quickly right from within the software saving my contact information. The process was easy and only took a few minutes.

Oh, and the bottom line was that the software not only was priced less than any other I have found, it also has free lifetime support and free lifetime upgrades. So if an article directory changes it’s submission process or there are new directories, those upgrades will be included
at no cost. Along with the smooth submission process, this made it a complete no brainer decision.

My results.

OK, now at this point I had only about a total of 3-4 hours invested in this strategy.

At first there was very little activity. Then after the first week, traffic and subscribers trickled in. Since then, it’s been growing gradually for the past few months and just this week it jumped up a notch with dozens of opt-ins every day.

And note, this is with only 8 articles and 1 submission over a few month period. I did NOTHING ELSE but watch the traffic and subscribers come in. Now today, I have 1,087 subscribers from just one afternoon of work.

What is that worth?

New subscribers that you can market to FOR LIFE. Offer new products or services, provide valuable information to and earn from for as long as you want.

At this point I plan to grow my project exponentially by adding a handful of articles every few weeks. And with this software it makes the process a pleasure.

BTW, if you’re submitting PLR articles, DO NOT submit them as is. This can set you up for potential banning from search engines and no profit… and it just doesn’t make sense. Yes, this can be time consuming, but I’m testing a new resource that makes your PLR articles unique in minutes. I’ll report with more details on that soon.

Make this your best day ever.
