Blogging To The Bank 2

How would you like to make some extra money to supplement your day job from the comfort of your living room? Well that's exactly what I set out to do when I bought Blogging To The Bank 2.0 by Rob Benwel

The first thing I did besides download all the excellent bonuses was print out the document and read it front to back. It's a reasonable length, 61 pages, but as everyone knows it's not quantity that matters its quality that counts...right.

Now when I first bought
Blogging To The Bank 2.0, I was already aware of some Internet Marketing techniques like keyword research and SEO. But don't worry, because if those terms don't mean anything to you now, by the time you've read through Rob's eBook you'll have enough of an understanding to implement his blogging for money strategies.
He takes you through how to research your niche and how to find out exactly what the people are typing into the search engines. Plus how many people are actually typing it in too. Too many people setup blogs and fail, but Rob Benwell certainly seems to be doing things right. I wanted to see what he was doing, and more importantly, how I could use that information.

Before I read the eBook, I was anxious to see whether he was a black-hatter, or a white-hatter. I never use black-hat techniques myself, as I want to build long-term businesses, not just sites that last for a few months and die a death. I saw on the sales page, a comparison between hand-built sites, and automated sites, and that convinced me to buy, as it showed the hand-built, non-automated sites were the way to go. It looked like Rob was getting his success through white hat blogging.
This will give you an idea of how big your market is. With this precious data in hand Rob shows you how to gauge your niche instantly to see if its going to be profitable before you go spending your precious time on it.

Now you may or may not have heard that content is king, well if you haven't, then I'm certain you will again and again after reading this review. Well Rob gives away his secrets of how to get top quality content from multiple sources that you can use on your blog. Rob goes into the various methods of promoting your blog, and one of the useful bonuses you get with this book is a piece of software that can "submit to over 150 directories in around an hour". This is a useful addition, as it will help grow the inbound links to your site. Rob covers a lot of different methods for getting links in, and promoting your site.

He then moves onto Web 2.0 methods for Traffic & Promotion. Its a useful introduction whether you are promoting a blog, or any other site, and covers some of the top Web 2.0. sites that I use myself with good success.Content that will keep your niche buzzing with excitement. He reveals his exact technique that he uses on his blogs to make him up to $30,000 every month!

Now I mentioned SEO before, well in a nutshell SEO is a process of optimizing your blog so the search engines will love it and you therefore get good rankings in the search engines. But not only will the search engines love it, your readers will too.

I found Blogging To The Bank 2.0 a very good product indeed. I was completely new to the world of blogging when I first bought this and I didn't even really know you could make money from blogs. I now have several blogs that are each earning me a nice little chunk of money each month. Nothing I could retire on, but hey I've only been blogging for 3 months.

I would say the only thing that I thought was missing from this was setting a Wordpress blog up. After doing my research when I started I was heavily advised to use Wordpress but
Blogging To The Bank 2.0 doesn't cover how to set it up. However, I quickly realized that Wordpress is open source, which means free, which also means loads of help on the internet if needed.

So to conclude I think this is an excellent product and would recommend it to anyone. Whether you've never blogged before, or your a veteran blogger who wants to blog for money, Blogging To The Bank 2.0 will defiantly give you a head start.

So don't waste anymore time...

Ross Goldberg’s Traffic Manifesto Review

As an internet marketer for the past few years, I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of how to generate traffic to my web sites. I always start with keywords and SEO, then go from there. In fact, I’d say 80% of my efforts in traffic building are strictly SEO; however, as the internet changes, I’ve found that I need to learn some more tactics in order to keep up with the trends.

Ross Goldberg’s ebook, Traffic Manifesto, is an excellent resource to have in your IM library.

It’s encyclopedic in nature, in that it covers ALL things traffic-related, from SEO to PPC to article marketing to social bookmarking. In all fairness, there were few traffic generating methods I wasn’t aware of beforehand (though I certainly hadn’t used most of them!) but it’s super helpful to have all this information at your fingertips. With such an extensive variety of traffic-building methods available, you’re sure to run across a few that fit your marketing style best.

This meaty book comes in at over 100 pages, so there’s plenty here to get your juices flowing. If you’re new to internet marketing, it’s definitely a helpful resource. If you’re already an expert, well…the information in it can be found for free on the ‘net, but here it is, all in one place, compiled and ready to go. I don’t mind paying a few bucks if in the long run, something will save me time. Save yourself some time and download Traffic Manifesto.

Have you read Traffic Manifesto? What are your thoughts?

Is Opt In List Building for the Affiliate Marketer?

As an affiliate marketer you are no doubt looking to make money online for what many consider minimal effort. After all the website is built for you, it converts well and it would appear all you have to do is draw traffic for decent commissions. Sounds good but for any affiliate marketer to make real money online they simply must consider building an opt in email list of their own

Now, building a responsive list like any other endeavour in life entails some work. That said it can be one of the most profitable things you can do to turbo charge your online efforts not to mention the profits too. The time and effort put in will certainly be well worth it.

Your list opens up various other avenues for business. Take joint ventures for instance. You would be in a strong position to leverage your efforts with ad swaps or give away events to grow your list. Launching your own product or service would have a different outlook as you would be able to test it's popularity by the response of your list.

One other great advantage of having a list is that you can ask your list exactly what they want. You then go ahead and produce it for them and be handsomely rewarded. I also think it is very rewarding to be able to help those on your list to make money online too. You can do this by providing the know how and sourcing the right products at the right price for your opt in email list to benefit from.

It is a known fact that most affiliates, probably about 90 percent of them, are not making any money from their affiliate marketing. I think the reason for this is quite simply that they spend so much effort and money looking for traffic. This traffic is usually undirected and any efforts geared towards this will produce very little. Apart from information, people online are also looking for a relationship. Can they trust you? Trust comes with time. Building your own list allows you to gain this trust and your traffic becomes targeted. You can then expect meaningful results to your offers. It beats expecting people to buy from you first time round on your website especially in the light of the fact that people need an exposure of about 7 - 10 times before they will make a purchase.

I am singing the virtues of having a list as being a key to successful affiliate marketing. Many successful marketers have been known to make serious affiliate sales by just sending a recommendation or endorsement email message to their list and receiving thousands of dollars as payment a few hours later.

This kind of marketing experience is really worth building a list for. It does not happen overnight and requires that you have a good relationship with your list for it to be responsive.

Clearly, owning your own opt in email list will help turbo charge your affiliate marketing efforts and put some money in the bank to show for your online efforts. Is it not time you started building an opt in email list? One that enables you to make real money online.

Build a list and build your own traffic - and I mean targeted and responsive traffic.

Don't Catch These Two Diseases

Burn the FAT!

www.BurnTheFatInnerCircle.com

One of my favorite motivational speakers is a guy by the name of Brian Tracy, who is one of the world’s top experts on success psychology and personal achievement. In case you haven’t heard of Brian, he is sort of like a calmer, more “laid back” version of infomercial guru, Tony Robbins.

Not long ago, I had the chance to attend a seminar Brian held at the Jacob Javitz center here in New York City. One part of his talk really grabbed my attention, and I’d like to share it with you...

Brian said that that there are two diseases running rampant across America and much of the industrialized world today. If you had to hazard a guess, which two do you think they are? Cancer? Diabetes? Heart Disease? Osteoporosis? Obesity?

Guess what? They’re NONE of the above. In fact, they’re not even physical diseases – they are mental diseases.



The first mental disease, according to Tracy, is called something-for nothing disease. Something for nothing disease is contracted by people who believe they can take more out than what they put in. These are the people who want all the rewards without paying full price, or as Brian put it, “They want to go through the revolving door of life on someone else’s push.”

Quick fix disease is the second of the mental diseases. According to Brian, this disease is contracted by people who always want a quick way to reach their goals. They search for instant cures to solve problems that may have taken months or even years to develop. They seek short cuts to acquire key skills that actually take many months and years of hard work to master.

These diseases are not to be confused with the desire to constantly get better and search for more efficient ways to reach your goals (which is a positive trait). The “diseased” people are those trying to reach their goals faster than nature intended without any effort (which is a negative trait). As a friend of mine once said, "There’s a big difference between seeking efficiency and being lazy."

Brian’s New York City seminar was mostly filled with businesspeople, sales professionals and entrepreneurs, so he referred to financial examples, such as: wanting to work fewer hours and earn more money, investing in get rich quick schemes, or buying lottery tickets.

However, I personally feel that quick fix and something for nothing disease are more rampant and insidious among people with fitness goals than they are among any other group.

Health and fitness seekers with something for nothing disease they think they can get twice the results in half the time. They want weight loss without dieting, fitness without exercise, and perfect health while eating, drinking and smoking whatever they want.

Those with quick fix disease want to take a pill, go to sleep, and wake up skinny. They are forever on a quest to find short cuts to fitness goals that that normally take months or years to attain.

People afflicted by quick fix disease are suckers for the latest “exercise in a bottle,” “fat burning cream,” “diet pill,” or “steroid replacement” scams. They impulsively buy miracle solutions on a whim, which they haven’t researched and know nothing about.

Saddest of all, they often waste YEARS of their lives on a misguided quest for the holy grail of weight loss or muscle growth, when they could have reached their goals with a better work ethic and a little bit of persistence.

People with these diseases are violating some of the most basic laws of the universe: Cause and effect, sowing and reaping, action and reaction. This is just as ridiculous as attempting to violate other natural laws such as the law of gravity. Jump off a cliff, and you’re going to plummet to the Earth below – 100% of the time.

But there’s more: Not only are you going to FAIL and hit bottom if you catch one or both of these diseases - the very act of seeking a quick fix or wanting something for nothing makes you a weaker person.

On the other hand, the act of setting a worthy goal for something you want and reaching it through diligence, determination, discipline and hard work changes the very fiber of your being. You literally change on a cellular level; you become a stronger person.

The purpose of having a worthy goal then, is not to possess the goal, it is to become a better person as result of pursuing and achieving the goal. If you get something for nothing, you may have that thing, but you have not become anything. Pity the person who wins a million dollars who has not become a millionaire in spirit and character.

It’s been said you don’t get what you want in life, you get what you deserve. If you want to achieve your perfect weight and improve your health… if you want success and achievement… if you want to win the championship title… then set the goal and go for it!

But whatever you do, don’t catch these two diseases. SHUN THE QUICK FIX, AVOID THE FREE RIDE and deserve it. You can have, do or be anything you want - just pay the price and it’s yours!

Tips for Affiliates

Becoming an affiliate is one of the easiest ways to monetize your presence on the internet. It is extremely easy to participate in and once you have set up your account, all you have to do is make it work for you. But how is it that some affiliates earn more than others In fact, these blessed ones earn at least 10 times that of average affiliates Want to know the secrets to affiliate success.

What we are about to divulge are well known tips and not so secret advice. They are not magic spells and programming tweaks that will turn your affiliate program into a million dollar empire. However, these common sense tips are surefire tricks that will improve your chances and give you better exposure. Here they are:

Accept that there will be competition.
Competition is a fact of life with becoming an affiliate. Not all of us can make $5,000 a month just by letting the program work on its own. There are too many like minded individuals out there who want a bigger chunk off the internet pie. That means you will have to work hard to get yourself the exposure and trust you need. Complacency means death to any affiliate and you would be better off keeping that in mind if you want to succeed in this business.

Proper positioning pays.
The human eye is a complex creation of Nature and while no two pairs are alike, there are certain predictable behavior patterns that the eyes follow. Case in point: when surfing, every one of us has a tendency to look at the 'hot spots' on a web page. These are places such as the inside content, the left hand corner, the top portion of the page, the bottom of the page, etc. If you want people to notice your ads, place them in these hot spots.

Choose your own niche.
No matter how many affiliates are already on the internet and how many more will be joining, there is always a place for each one of them. That is why you need to choose your own niche and to choose it carefully. For example, you can not have a website about music and post different affiliate ads or links to TV, exercise equipment and nutritional supplements just because they have a lot of demand. These products are just not related to the main topic of your site.

Instead, choose a niche you can excel in and choose affiliate success programs that are related to it, programs and ads you yourself can promote and write about. For example, if you have a music review site, choose affiliate ads that link your visitors to albums, mp3 songs, videos, books and magazine subscriptions. Coherence is key and your site has got to have it.

Capture that list.
To someone with less than an entrepreneurial mindset, names and email addresses are just letters and numbers. To an enterprising affiliate, they mean potential income. Consider your email list as a captive market to whom you can send different offers. Best of all, you can build a solid network of friends and clients online.

Being a successful affiliate means differentiating yourself from the pack. People have to notice and trust you enough to actually buy something from you or because of you. If you want your affiliate program to succeed, work hard during the initial stages and work even harder as you go on. There will be other affiliates nipping at your heels but if you have established yourself well enough, you can be sure your affiliate will remain competitive and viable.
