Niche Reaper - the Ultimate Niche Discovery Tool

One of the hardest things to do as an Internet Marketer is to find a niche worthy of further exploration, a niche that is not only lucrative, but that people are actually interested in and are willing to plunk out cash for. Enter Matt Garret's new product - Niche Reaper.

However, before I go further, I must admit that there are four things you need to know about Niche Reaper.  

One - it is an incredibly clever new niche research tool that runs 24/7, constantly generating new niche and keyword possibilities.

Two - It is brilliant. If you are a niche marketer, the hardest thing is finding a steady stream of potentially profitable niches to build sites in. The trouble is that although finding niches is easy, finding the quirky ones that people are spending money in - and that everyone else isn't already doing to death - is very time consuming.

Well, not any more. Niche Reaper finds thousands of them every day - you  will never run out and you'll be constantly amazed at the gems it finds.

Three -  The number that Matt will sell is very limited and well over three fourths the allocation has already been sold. This thing has been selling like hot cakes and at the rate it is going I suspect that the doors will be closed in a few more days. In fact, the last I looked, total sales had just broached 900. That's 90% gone.

That tells you something because it isn't cheap - but for people who do this kind of niche marketing for a living it will save a fortune over the several other services it replaces, and a ton of time.

One person who posted a comment estimates that what NicheReaper gives him instantly every day would take him up to 5 hours of hard work to replicate just a fraction of it by other means.

It is selling so well because it works.

Four -  Sometime later today or tomorrow, depending on total sales, the price is going up. I'm not sure of the details, but indications from Matt are that the price will increase well before Friday.

He has a best seller on his hands, so I can't blame him - but if you hurry you may be able to beat the rise.

PLR's - Huh?

I have been doing a lot of PLR's lately, and they are a true goldmine. But before I get to telling you more about them, I'm going to list a couple I've recently posted:

1. Simple List Building Blueprint Course - a really comprehensive viudeo course that comes with MRR.
2. Truly Raw - an eBook all about eating raw foods, raw food diets, pros and cons, etc. Comes with an opt-in set of emails that discusses the subject even further.

Plus, there are several more I am working on that are in the pipeline. If you don't know what these terms are (PLR, MRR) you need to watch Liz Tomey's short tutorial on the subject:

Enough of the prelim stuff - let's get down to it.

Why private label is your best friend.

One of the biggest problems that would-be Internet marketers face is where to get good content to fill up your web pages or blogs. This article looks at private label as being an ideal source, if you know how to use it the right way.

Content is King, for sure. The search engines are not interested in ranking thin, content-poor web pages and are actively working to adjust their algorithms to weed out those pages that don't provide useful information. That makes it increasingly difficult for website builders because with the best will in the world, very few are ready, willing and able to continue to write an endless stream of quality content for themselves.

For many people writing is difficult to start with, but factor in the limited time that people have these days and the likelihood that however passionate you are about your niche, you'll soon run out of things to say, and it gets almost impossible.

And of course, if your web site is on a subject that you don't have personal knowledge or passion about, writing fresh content may be completely impossible for you.

All the evidence suggests, though, that the need for on-topic, well-written content is growing. The search engines have as good as said so and are now, more than ever before, looking to de-list sites that they consider to be lacking authority.

All this means that one supply of content that has gone in and out of fashion over the years, private label articles, it coming back with a vengeance.

Private label articles, or PLR articles as they are commonly known, are very cheap, but can totally transform your Internet marketing and web building.

PLR stands for private label rights and describes the license you get for using them after you've bought them.

Private label means that once you've bought them, all rights of ownership are transferred to you. You then have the rights to treat the articles as your own, as if you had written them.

Unlike other ways of buying 'information', there is no copyright on PLR so you are free to change them, rewrite them, re-purpose them, even put your own name on the top and claim authorship.

In general, you cannot resell them in an unchanged state, and many article directories do not allow you to post them, but other than that, they become yours to do with as you please.

That wide-ranging 'right of use' is a very powerful thing indeed and makes PLR one of the most undervalued heroes of online marketing. Far too few people have really understood just how many ways PLR articles (or even entire books) can be used, and how much money some people are making by using them.

Having said that, it is also important that you understand that as with many things, there is really good PLR material out there and a lot of absolute garbage.

Over the years a lot of really bad articles have been written, more often than not by people with really bad writing and language skills, that are identifiable as private label from a mile away. If you can see an article is badly written and makes no real attempt to cover its promised topic, you can bet the search engines can weed it out too. Using such trash doesn't do your site any good at all.

In fact, with new changes that Google have announced that will make it easier for them to weed out what they consider to be spam websites, using poor quality PLR can be really harmful to your business. So to that end, make sure you read what you buy and at the very least, rewrite it to correct blatant spelling and grammar errors. And if you can, add more meat to the thin articles as well.

You will often see offers online of thousands of articles being sold for peanuts. 10,000 articles for $10 is not unusual! Steer clear. The articles in these packages are almost all horrible. They have been around for many years, have been used to death and, all too often, are not PLR material at all - they have been stolen from non-plr websites. It is a case of buyer beware.

Luckily, there are many very reputable sources of great PLR articles. Some will sell you packages individually and others are membership sites that provide a steady stream of articles to their members.

Look to see examples of their work before you buy - all reputable PLR sellers will be happy to provide you with a sample or two if you email and ask - and check for spelling, grammar and language use. If they make mistakes in the articles they send out as samples, you can bet they are equally sloppy in what you'll buy.

Look also, for the articles to have a certain depth. A good article should read naturally and not appear as if it has been created purely as a keyword holder.

And when you get the articles, rewrite them.

I know I said that PLR makes your life easier, and it does. It is far, far easier to rewrite an article into your own words - just take it one sentence at a time - than it is to research and write a new article from scratch. You'll save a huge amount of time and effort, but the end result will be content on your website that is fresh, relevant, authoritative and, to the search engines, exactly what is needed.

And that is money in the bank.

BTW - the above article is a perfect example of a PLR - how about them apples?

Membership Sites - The Route to Residual Income

Membership sites are not a new thing. Way back in 1996, Bill Gates said that he estimated membership sites to be a $20-$30 million dollar per year industry.

Mr Gates has got more things right than wrong in his career, but that wasn't one of them. Just 14 years later and the figure is more like $2 Billion Dollars annually. Membership sites are big business and despite the worldwide recession, continue to grow in importance.

A membership site is, by and large, one that charges subscribers a monthly fee to access its website. But charging a monthly fee isn't the only game in town - another perfectly viable business model is to allow members to join for free, but to monetize the site through special subscriber offers made each time the member logs in.

Whichever membership model you choose, you will need a few things in place:

* A domain and hosting

* An autoresponder

* Membership site software

* Content to regularly post to the site

Domains and hosting, and autoresponders, are beyond the scope of this article. We will consider the membership site software you can use and the content you need to post.

Membership Site Software

There are dozens of options - from the plugins that you can add to a WordPress blog, through newbie-friendly programs like Easy Member Pro, right up to powerful scripts such as Login Frequency Marketing. 

There is software available to suit every pocket - even one or two free options.

Why are membership sites so popular?

The Internet has become synonymous with 'free'. People expect information to be available for free and sites like Wikipedia are happy to provide that service. However, people have also come to realize that with free information there is relatively little quality control. If they want good, premium content then they know that they will sometimes have to pay for it.

In addition, people like the idea of belonging to an exclusive club, and online membership sites can offer that kind of exclusivity that they crave.

Of course, no membership site can survive for long if it doesn't provide those things: great, fresh content and a sense of belonging.

The Advantages to Building Membership Websites

One of the problems with Internet marketing as it is generally practiced is that you constantly need to find new customers and make new sales. You can have a great month and sell a lot of the latest big launch product, but what do you do next month? Or the month after? The wheel has to be reinvented over and over again.

With a membership site, you remove most of that ongoing stress. You do your job of selling the memberships and then they pay you month in, month out, automatically. You don't have to ask for the money - your payment processor just takes it - and you never need to remind anyone to pay up.

Although three will be a number of people who will unsubscribe and cancel their subscriptions each month, on the whole most will stay.

The industry average is reckoned to be that members stay for about 4 months, but many of the quality membership sites expect their members to stick around a lot longer than that!

The result is that you work once to set up the site to begin with and then again to attract members in, but after that the financials of your business will be based on residual earnings - in other words, once they've started paying, they'll keep on.

Residual income is the sweetest money of all and can quite literally last for years with no extra effort on your part.

Of course, with a membership site you do have to add new content, or provide some kind of service to keep your members interested.

If you have a site based on the use of a piece of software you've written or had created for you, your ongoing input may be negligible after the initial set up, but if you are providing information, you will need to develop a routine for creating new stuff for your members on a regular basis.

Many people ignore the power of membership sites to build themselves a very useful income, but to do so is a folly. After all, 100 members paying just $9.99 per month amounts to $1000 a month and may only require you to write a new article each week.

Some membership sites are even set up so that the members themselves create the ongoing content. Recipe sites, for example, encourage members to post new recipes for all to see, and to participate in discussion forums that only members can access. The site owners can charge a nice monthly fee, but in actuality don't have to create any content at all!

Whatever your current online marketing business model, consider adding a membership site or two to your stable of Internet properties. Your residual income will skyrocket and your workload may well be lower than you ever imagined possible.

Your Internet lifestyle could be just a membership site away!

Here's an added resource that can help you along the way towards your membership site:

Membership Gold Rush To Your Evergreen Success RD

Email Marketing - The Most Satisfying Way to Make Money Online

In a very short space of time, email has completely changed the face of direct marketing. Over the last 100 years or so many millionaires have been created by direct marketing - sending ads out to thousands of people by mail. But a lot of people have lost their shirts because although the potential rewards are great, the potential losses can be huge too. Mail shots cost a lot of money and if they don't pull in the orders, you can be looking at a huge expense. Email marketing has changed the ground rules. Now, almost anyone can get involved and the cost of entry is virtually nil.

With email there are no printing costs, no envelopes to buy, no staff to employ to stuff the envelopes and no postage costs.

Of course, there is a thin line between legitimate email marketing and spam. The very first known case of spam (unsolicited commercial email) was sent to 393 recipients by Gary Theurk, then an employee of DEC computers. It was sent out over the old ArpaNet system - the precursor to today's Internet - in May 1978.

Nobody liked it then, and nobody likes it now. It is estimated that over 85% of all email sent is spam of one kind or another.

Legitimate email marketing can be very profitable, but the most successful, and ethical email marketers go to great lengths to ensure that they are only sending emails to willing recipients and that their emails comply with local regulations such as the American Can-Spam act.

To be successful in legitimate email marketing it is important to build a relationship with the people to whom you are sending your messages. That usually means establishing your own reputation and making sure you provide people with interesting, readable content. Of course you will want to include promotional messages to sell things, but if that's all you send out, your readers will soon get tired and unsubscribe from your list.

As an email marketer your mailing list is the most valuable commodity you own. In general, most email list marketers say that the average return should be $1 per subscriber per month. So a list of 5000 people should, on average, make its owner $5000 per month.

Averages deceive though. A marketer who sends out ad after ad, sales pitch after sales pitch, with no attempt to communicate, entertain or inform will usually see a much lower rate of return. On the other hand, someone who sends out a well written newsletter filled with interesting and useful information - that also happens to include a personally written sales message - can enjoy a rate of return many times the industry average.

It takes more work to write an interesting newsletter or ezine, but the long term rewards can make the effort very worthwhile.

There is an old adage that 'The money's in the list', and it is true provided you have the right list and have established a trusting relationship with the people on it.

Too many email marketers think of their 'list' as a commodity and forget that it is made up of individuals. The most successful ones never forget that they are writing to people, not lists.

There are many ways to become an Internet marketer and email marketing is just one of them. It may not be the easiest to succeed at - you will need to develop your writing and communication skills and learn how to build your list in the first place - but for those of us who make our living writing email newsletters it is by far one of the most satisfying.

To learn more about what all this is about, I've got 2 products from Clickbank I'd like to recommend. The fist is Tim Bekker's Autoresponder Code, and the second is the Complete List Building Package.  Both are credible products that could help you with your email projects.

Education and the 2 Year Option

Watch this video for some great education ideas!

A 2-year degree is a great way to get a degree or certification quickly and effectively, and at a much lower cost. Online students can attend classes from their home, from their job, or while in another city, using only a computer and Internet connection. Students save huge amounts of time and money. There is no campus to drive to, so no travel expenses, no time invested in commuting to class, no out-of-state fees, and no room and board fees.

Campus students, on the other hand, can attend evening and weekend classes if they work during the day. They offer personal interaction with other students and are great for courses that require hands-on activities, labs, and training.

Information Products - Hungry Buyers Pay Top Dollar

There are so many ways to make money online that entire books have been devoted to the subject, with each chapter offering a different idea. Creating and selling your own information products is a very viable method of building an online business - and can be an extremely profitable one too.

Before we look into the ways that you - or anyone - can start to create your own information products, we first need to define what information products actually are. To many people starting out, the very term, information product, is daunting and can put one off. But get past that and you'll soon realize that like most things connected to online marketing, the jargon often hides a simple concept.

In the main, people are searching online for information. When we do a Google search we almost always are trying to find an answer to a question.

Some of those questions are about mundane things and can be answered very easily. But some questions are more complex, more important and more pressing. For those, while one may be able to find answers after long hours of intense research, it is far easier to buy a ready-made solution.

The more intense the question, the more we are willing to pay for an answer.

The difference between online and offline information products is that offline everyone has a view as to how much a 'book' or a 'magazine' is worth and will rarely pay more than the accepted norm. Online, however, it is the information that is valued, and not so much the delivery vehicle. So people will often pay a lot more for an answer to a pressing need online that they will offline.

Information products come in all shapes and sizes. A few to consider are:

Ebooks - Usually PDF files formatted to look like a real book, but with fewer pages. A typical ebook is between 70 and 100 pages, but can be a lot less, or a lot more. Ebooks can sell for anything from a few dollars to hundreds. A price point of $67 or $97 is not unusual.

Special Reports - As with ebooks, special reports are normally supplied as PDF files, but they tend to be much shorter. 5-10 pages is typical. Special reports are usually focused on answering a single problem or teaching a specific method for something and have a lot less fluff and filler than ebooks often do.

White papers - Sometimes the answer to a question can be contained in a page or two - a list of resources, for example.

Videos - with the ease of use of hand held video cameras such as the Flip, and screen capture programs it is very easy now to produce short videos to answer people's questions. Buyers seem to like video products and are often willing to pay a premium price for them.

Audio - spoken word information products - often called podcasts - are popular with people who regularly use MP3 players and Smartphones as they allow folks to learn while on the move. Sometimes it is quite easy to simply read out an article or short report into a program like Audacity to make an audio info product that will sell well.

Membership sites - When information can be delivered over time, in instalments, it can be very profitable to do so from within a membership site. This gives the vendor an ongoing income from subscription fees as well as a frequent opportunity to offer members other offers.

Creating your own information products has one very big advantage. When you sell it, you determine the price and you keep all the profits. And as the cost of creating, producing and supplying digitally down loadable info products is virtually nil, the potential profits can be enormous. You can literally start a real business but with no overheads.

For more on this subject, go to:
http://urlcx.com/yoeb - Your Own EBook Business

In addition to sales you make yourself, you also have the chance to attract and recruit other people to sell on your behalf. In Internet marketing these people are called affiliates. They will promote your product to their lists, and if they incur any advertising costs will be entire responsible for them themselves. You simply pay them a commission for each sale they make.

Typically, you will pay them 50% - 75% of the sales price, which may sound a lot, but consider the sale one you wouldn't have otherwise had, and it has cost you nothing. You may 'only' make 25%, but that 25% is 100% profit. It is a great deal!

Not all info products are created to be sold though.

Sometimes it is better to offer your product as a free gift in return for some body's email address. Building up an email list is a vital part of online marketing and can massively increase your profitability. It is an effort to attract new traffic to your offers, but if you have already got a list of 1000 people to tell about a new information product you've created, you can really boost your launch results with no extra effort.

Creating free information products as giveaways to attract subscribers is very effective and easy to do. It should be a part of all marketers' routine.

Jim Edwards said it best in his book:
EBook Secrets Exposed - http://urlcx.com/ese

Online marketing is, at its heart, about selling. Information is one of the most valuable commodities we can sell. While it is great to be an affiliate for other people, producing and owning your own info products is the best way to secure your personal success into the future.

In closing, you really must investigate PLR's. See my earlier blog post on that very subject. Scroll down, it's there somewhere.

Wishing the best for everyone in this business,

Traffic Generation - The Missing Link For Internet Marketers

Traffic is the lifeblood of the Internet and traffic generation is what drives Internet marketing.

A website on its own is like a store at the wrong end of a one-way street: it can be the most wonderful thing that you can possibly create, but with no passing trade the sound of the tumbleweed will be louder than that of the cash register.

Search engine optimization is mainly done to entice Google to send your site free traffic from its natural searches, but search engine traffic isn't the only game in town. There are lots of other ways to get people to visit your site.

There is an ongoing argument among the expert marketers - which is more important, getting traffic or converting that traffic into paying customers? On the one hand you can't convert what you don't have, but on the other, all the traffic in the world is useless if it doesn't turn into buyers.

The reality is that they are not at odds at all - they are simply two sides of the same coin.

It should be simple. Go and tell people about your whizzy new website and they'll come take a look. It is called advertising. Unfortunately it isn't that easy - or simple. You can tell how hard it really is by taking a quick look inside any of the big Internet marketing forums. There you'll find people constantly complaining that Internet marketing doesn't work and that they've wasted years doing everything they were told, building the exact sites that the guru's methods told them to; and yet they still failed to make any money.

When you scratch under the surface you almost always find that yes, they did do everything right, but the methods they were taught fell short at the important part. They were told to build sites. They were tutored in some of the most effective online marketing strategies, but they were not told that the site building was only the beginning. Traffic generation is the ongoing, never-ending process that only starts when the website is finished.

So, doing great on and off page SEO to claim high Google rankings that will send free traffic your way is still and will probably always remain the #1 traffic generation method. But it isn't the only one.

The second most effective way to keep that traffic flowing is to build a list. Too many Internet marketers forget that the cost in time, money and effort of getting a person to visit your site can be quite substantial. So it is crazy to let someone visit your site, do nothing while they are there and then leave. That's a total waste.

Every website should have some means of capturing the email address and name of at least some of those 'lost' visitors so that you can hopefully persuade them to stop by again at a later date.

Once you have their contact details, by means of an opt in form on your site that is linked to an autoresponder, you don't have to pay an acquisition cost for them ever again. Each time you email them with a new enticement to come back to your site they are your own free traffic generated by you.

The third favorite traffic generation strategy is currently article marketing. Writing articles that other people can use on their websites may sound odd, but in practice it can be very effective. The deal is that when they use your article they agree to display a short ad below it - called your resource box - that you write in such a way as to make clicking a link through to your site an attractive proposition.

Each article you write may only generate a few clicks, but get enough of them out there working for you and you'll build up a steady stream of traffic that you'll never be able to turn off.

Article marketing isn't as effective a traffic generation method as it once was, but many Internet marketers still swear by it and base their entire traffic generation strategies on it.

Generating a constant flow of traffic is where your online business starts and ends. Learning its importance and how to do it in the most effective ways is what separates the people who complain that Internet marketing doesn't work for them from those of us who make a great living.

Free Downloads for EReaders

One of the greatest things about getting your new eReader is that you can now take advantage of the many free eBook downloads available on the world wide web! If you are new to the world of eReaders and eBooks then here is a quick guide to getting your hands on the books.

If You Own A Kindle

Those who own a Kindle, or are thinking of getting one, should know about the ability it has to connect to the Kindle store and download eBooks in Kindle format. These are generally priced slightly lower than physical books, though you can sort the store to display from low prices to high ones and you can find many free eBooks right there! This won’t work for those who don’t have a Kindle.

Finding Free eBook Downloads in Compatible Formats

You’ll need to check exactly which formats your particular eBook reader can support, but there should be many options for you as long as your reader supports some of the most popular formats (ePub, PDF and others).

One of the easiest places to start is with Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/) or Google Books (http://books.google.com/). These provide eBooks that are completely free since their copyright has expired. This means you are free to download and enjoy them on their eReader, and many of them are even available in the popular ePub format which most of the modern eBook readers support.

Some other resources you might want to check out include:

* ManyBooks.net - providing you the same books as Gutenberg etc but in more formats.

* Feedbooks (http://www.feedbooks.com/) - Allows you to specify the size of your reader to download PDF files that display correctly,

* Baen Free Library (http://www.webscription.net/c-1-free-library.aspx) - This is a great resource for books specifically from the Baen publishers of Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Don’t Just Stop At Free eBook Downloads!

Free eBook downloads are a great way to populate your new eReader with content, and to get some entertainment on a budget, but you should realize that all the newest titles are still in copyright and will require you to purchase them from available eBook stores.

Once you feel ready to start buying new eBooks for your device, make sure to check formats carefully and always go for compatible files. You should also follow your reader’s instructions carefully in case you are required to convert any files before they work. Happy reading!

Niche Marketing - Thinking Small for Earning Big

Continuing our series on Internet Marketing, here's the next installment .....

Ask any successful Internet marketer what the secret to online success is and you'll get a host of different answers. But dig a little deeper and almost all of them will eventually tell you that one of the big secrets is to concentrate your efforts onto a monetizable niche market. So what is niche marketing and how do you find a niche that you can make money from?

That's what this article plans to uncover for you.

A monetizable niche market is, at its simplest, that part of a crowd that is hungriest.

A hot dog stand outside a restaurant isn't likely to do much business, but put the same stand outside a cinema or theater and it will sell out. The people walking past are similar, but some are hungrier than others.

The trick to successful niche marketing is to be able to identify which parts of an audience are ready to buy and to aim all your efforts at persuading them to buy via you.

To give you an example, someone searching with the keyword 'digital camera' is certainly searching for something, but we have no real idea of their intent. The chances are that they are simply dipping a toe into the market to get some background info.

There are 134,000 searches made every day for 'digital cameras' but you could spend a huge amount of time and effort trying to grab a share of that traffic and still have little to show for it at the end.

They are lookers, not buyers.

The next step up after they have done their background research would be for them to search on a manufacturer, so 'Nikon Digital Cameras' might crop up. Is this a niche market keyword? Not yet. They are warmer, but not yet hot. They are still finding stuff out, comparing models and checking price ranges.

But they are not buyers. Not yet.

Nikon Digital Camera is a topic - and possibly a good one to base a whole site or a section of a site upon, but for our individual pages we need to focus on the niches inside the topic.

So, having decided that they like Nikon cameras more than the competition the next step - the buying step - is for them to narrow their research down even more to a particular model.

Someone who searches on 'Nikon D40 Digital Camera' is in the market to buy. They know what they want and now just need to be reassured and pointed at Amazon.

So a brand name is a niche market, but it still isn't necessarily a great niche market. The number of people searching for a term is important, but not all-important. We must also look at the number of websites we would be in competition with if we were to put in the effort to build one of our own.

A great niche market is one where there are lots of hungry, desperate-to-buy searchers, but few websites satisfying their needs.

In the Nikon D40 Digital Cameras example, there are nearly half a million pages online in competition with us - and as we want the easiest route to getting high Google rankings for the pages we build, that is way too much competition!

We are getting warmer, but it isn't hot, hot, hot quite yet!

A few more minutes work and the following products emerge: Samsung T550 Camera, Polaroid Pogo Camera and Fuji Waterproof Camera. Between them they attract over 10,000 searches per month, but none have more than 7,000 competing web pages already out there. Now that's competition we can set about beating!

Niche marketing is about getting the biggest bang for your buck, the greatest return for your effort. The skill lies in learning how to use your keyword research tools to uncover the millions of phrases people regularly type into the search engines that indicate they are in a buying mood, and to keep researching them until you find ones where there is the least amount of competition.

Then build a web page, make it as authoritative as possible, fine tune the on-page SEO to make it on-target as far as the search engines are concerned and develop the off-page SEO by building a network of backlinks. Then add monetization through affiliate links and watch as your hard work reaps its rewards.

Private Label Rights - A Money-Making Magic Wand?

In our continuing series on Internet Marketing, now we're going to discuss .....



Private Label Rights, or PLR's

To anyone outside of the world of Internet marketing, the very idea of private label rights seems a little crazy. But however silly it might sound, many people are making money from PLR articles, ebooks and software every single day.

The concept is simple: one person writes an ebook, a bunch of articles or a software program and then sells on all rights of ownership to anyone who will pay for it. Usually for a very small fee.

So why would someone write, for example, an ebook and then sell all rights to it to someone else? The answer lies in the huge number of people who understand the potential value and are ready and willing to pay for such material.

For sellers, if you can write a short ebook of 20,000 words, or a pack of ten 500-word articles and sell it to 150 different people for $10 each you will have made a tidy $1500. And still retain the right to sell it to 150 more if you can find them.

For buyers, private label can really be like magic: someone else does all the hard work in writing and then for a tiny outlay you can buy the rights to do almost anything you want with the product.

With private label ebooks, articles and software you are generally sold the rights to treat the materials as if you had created them yourself. You can use them exactly as they are, edit them, rewrite them, change the title or name, claim authorship for yourself, create new products by combining several at a time - if you can think of a use, the chances are that you can do it.

The only things you generally can't do involve posting PLR articles to article directories (because the article directories don't like it) or resell the materials with the same private label rights. You normally have resell rights, but not private label resell rights.

But all sources are different and some have fewer rules than others.

Private label rights materials are fantastic for online marketers because they give a quick and easy answer to the age old problem of finding new content for your websites and blogs. Content is the lifeblood of the Internet: your site visitors always want to see new things and the search engines positively reward you for having new content.

Private label rights makes it very cheap and easy to get fresh content that is targeted to the exact niches you need fast.

The only drawback to PLR is that there is an awful lot of bad PLR out there. The majority of what you can find is poorly written junk that has been thrown together in such a rush that it barely makes sense.

Or it has been sold and resold to thousands of people for many years.

Although the vendors of this kind of junk argue that quality is unimportant and that quantity is what counts, the reverse is actually true. The search engines are getting better all the time at working out what is good, authoritative writing and what is semi-literate filler - and you can be sure that your real life visitors can spot the rubbish a mile away.

Would you go back to a website that only offered page after page of nonsense, and would you happily click on links to reward such sites? The answer is almost certainly no.

Luckily there are some vendors of private label materials out there who aim to produce the very highest quality - both in terms of being well researched and interesting to read, and in terms of being written in good English. Those vendors are sometimes a little more expensive than average, but not always. There are a handful of membership sites that provide the very best quality articles, ebooks or software at surprisingly low prices.

As an Internet marketer, content for your web pages, blog posts, newsletters, ezines and autoresponder sequences is what drives your profits. Material to be given away as subscription incentives boosts your mailing list subscription rates and source material to be turned into videos can explode your back links count. And that's just scratching the surface of what you can do with private label materials that someone else has created for you to profit from.

The Amazing Widget - a Game Changer?

'The Traffic & Income Getting Black Box'

I had to ask myself, is this all hype, or is it a true game changer?
 
The Amazing Widget claims to offer a breakthrough new way to generate 'semi autopilot' traffic and commissions,with the launch of their new Software and accompanying Blueprint.

Further, they claim to offer a dead simple way for virtually anybody to begin placing their oddly named 'Amazing Widgets' in hundreds of free spots around the web, as a foolproof way to make money on autopilot once in place.

BUT, does The Amazing Widget (AWS) live up to these claims?

My answer will definitely surprise you, with an even bigger 'viral shock' awaiting as we dig deeper. I've just invested in The Amazing Widget and so far, it's living up to its claims.

Once inside the member area, I found that what AWS offers - both in software and high quality training -truly IS a refreshing change from all the rehashes and copycat products, systems, and formulas I've been pounded with lately...

And in fact, I'd venture to say that you've never seen anything like it, either. Bryan Winters, the owner, claims that 'widget marketing' will soon become a household term among Internet marketers.

And even though that's a rather brash statement, I wouldn't be surprised by that prediction...

Just as article marketing virtually EXPLODED in the early 2000's, 'widget marketing' is poised to replace the old standby 'text article' as the ultimate high tech traffic magnet for drawing people to your online offers.

It becomes a choice between writing and submitting an article, or, placing a widget online within seconds.

While you don't have to know what a 'widget' is in order to succeed in a BIG way with the Amazing Widget System, it's basically a self contained little 'program in a box' that can be placed and shared on virtually any website,blog or social page (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)...

There are widgets that display the local weather in real time.

There are widgets that enable you to play games directly from within the widget.

There are widgets that play radio stations.

And then, there are widgets that are designed to do nothing but make you money on autopilot once placed...

More specifically, AWS's Amazing Widgets.

To the untrained eye, Amazing Widgets look like nothing more than an attractive display ad or banner ad.

It's what lurks beneath the surface that seemingly has the whole web buzzing with excitement - and this was the biggest shock of all..

AWS has a VIRAL rotation and tracking system for every Amazing Widget generated... which means that every widget you put out there is tracked, and its ads rotated with the people who join as your affiliate. AWS has an entire database devoted to this effort.

-----------------------------------------------------
�SIDEBAR: Yes I said 'every' Amazing Widget, being that you can choose from AWS's *1 click* Standard Widget that's instantly ready to start placing online with a built in Share Tool...
Or, quickly generate your own *Custom* Amazing Widgets ready to promote any of over 10,000 ClickBank products using their slick web based software... Fill out one quick form, and you have a new custom widget ready to place online.
�-----------------------------------------------------

As I discovered in their video presentation and sales material, by referring others to The Amazing Widget, member-affiliates share equal traffic and commission benefits produced by the Amazing Widgets THEIR referrals create and place online!

So let's say I refer 'Joe' to AWS, and Joe starts generating and placing Amazing Widgets online like crazy using AWS's free Share Tool. My affiliate links literally rotate 50/50 within Joe's widgets, meaning I stand to make half the resulting commissions on total autopilot ('piggy back' style as they refer to it) doing nothing more than having referred Joe initially.

Now, I could be a total deadbeat and still make money with this system off the work of Joe. And what does he care? He has the same benefit from the people he refers. But I'd be a fool to sit back and do nothing, knowing that the more Amazing Widgets I place online, the more my income potential shoots up.

And what's really slick is that referrals can come easily through the Amazing Widgets I place (provided I choose to promote The Amazing Widget itself within several of my widgets). Or, through a special external link that AWS provides, called the 'X-Factor' link.

Each Amazing Widget promotes TWO products, one through a top (image) ad, and the other through a bottom (text)ad. So its conceivable that you could promote AWS in every single widget you place, along with another product of your choice.

Perhaps the best aspect of all, is the fact that this system will probably never become saturated or outdated -the fate of most other online traffic and money making methods (and the precise reason why so many have failed online)...

The simple reason for this is very simple, and that's the fact that Amazing Widgets can be placed on virtually any of the billions of web pages, social pages and blogs online. There is simply no limit to all the traffic hot spots that you can place endless Amazing Widgets on.

Even at its basic core, the Amazing Widget System is a system that can't 'not' work, precisely as they claim, for the simple fact that people can't NOT see the widgets you place online. People WILL click on them if they are interested in what's being offered. And they WILL order if they feel the product being offered will benefit them.

In this way it's a system that is no different than display ads in newspapers and magazines that companies run time and time again (and have been doing so for a hundred years) for the simple fact that they work. People see the ads. If they like what they see, they take action to learn more and go on to make a purchase.

It's marketing in its purest and most effective form.

Bottom line, AWS's traffic and income getting Software and Blueprint is a major game changer. Not only could your internet life be transformed through this opportunity...

The Internet marketing community as a whole will begin to sit up and take notice.

I'd strongly urge you to get on board and make this an integral part of your online marketing plan immediately. AWS's software and system works easily in any niche, so there's virtually no reason this can't work for you.

What's Not to Like - We Review KickstartPLR from Martin Avis

Like so many people, I've bought a lot of private label stuff over the years. Articles, ebooks, software ... you name it, I have a hard drive full of it.

The one thing that characterizes most of it though is that it is badly researched and poorly-written. Let's be honest, 90% of the thousands and thousands of PLR articles around are barely even in readable English.

The only reason I keep buying private label materials is that every once in a while you come across a supplier who understands the concept of quality. It's rare, I admit, but they are out there if you look.

And when you do find the good stuff, the money-making potential is amazing. You can literally reap the rewards while someone else does all the work for you!

Good private label lets you do pretty much anything you like - edit it, add to it, merge different articles into a bigger report, post it on websites, blogs, emails ... if you can think of a money-making use for it, the chances are you can do it. The private label license has very few restrictions.

Usually the only no-nos are to post the articles unchanged on article directories, and reselling them as private label. Other than that, the sky - and your imagination, is the limit.

Just recently I came across a new website from husband and wife team, Martin and Delia Avis. Martin has been a full time Internet marketer for years and Delia is an ex English teacher, so between them they know about research, keywords, expert writing and online marketing. A combination of talents that they have put to good use in KickstartPLR.

http://dickhale.com/recommends/kickstartplr

Martin also runs a very long-running newsletter - Kickstart Today - which has been around for over 8 years - and is known for his ethics and straight dealing. In fact, I've been a subscriber of his for about 3 full years now, and he's one marketer I read faithfully.

That background, and the fact that he is one of the most honorable marketers on the Internet today, made me take notice when I learned that they had recently launched a private label articles site of their own.

What I found was that they create a new pack of ten articles, on a carefully researched niche topic, every ten days. So for your subscription fee you get 30 brand new articles every month. What was important for me was that I found by getting them spread out over the month I don't get overloaded.

This is PLR material that I want to use, not collect!

KickstartPLR also has some excellent training materials - which is being added to all the time, and a section with really useful exclusive software you can use in your online marketing. Frankly, I'd have paid the low monthly price just to use some of that software!

Having checked out the site and seen for myself the extremely high quality Martin and Delia both aim for and achieve, I have no hesitation in recommending KickstartPLR.

Ring ... Ring ... (The call is for you - answer it).

Normally here in this blog, I review cutting edge products for Internet entrepreneurs.

However today’s post, goes beyond cutting edge Internet products and gives you a glimpse into the future hybrid of Internet Marketing combined with Mobile phone and mobile device marketing.

The landscape of marketing is changing again, even faster than it did from print to web, and if you intend to stay competitive, I highly recommend you read this informative blog review carefully.

Before I begin my review of the product “Mobile Marketing Exposed,” let me first give you some startling, game changing statistics, concerning mobile vs. standard Internet marketing. And why you need to be aware of any products in this burgeoning new marketing sector.

•    88% of all Americans now carry mobile devices religiously and are connected all day long, wherever they go. You can even reach them while they sleep by leaving messages in there “voice mail” ready as soon as they wake up.

When leaving the home, the two most common possessions people claim to need are their car keys and their mobile phone. (Don’t leave home without it!)

•    For every one computer in use, there are now approximately 10 mobile devices, (cell -phones/iPads/Blackberries/etc.) in use sending and receiving information from users all throughout the day.  94% of all text messages sent are read by the recipient, with a whopping 75% of those messages read instantly, as they are received.

As you know, large companies have already been profitably exploiting these statistics by connecting with customers effectively through their mobile devices.

In “Mobile Marketing Exposed”, you’ll find that individual marketers and small to medium sized companies can now effectively exploit these same methods and new technologies to profitably reach mobile customers and their wallets! 

One Case Study from MME: A small-time marketer was uncovered using location based text messaging to alert targeted mobile users of incredibly low automobile prices at web auctions in their area. By offering easy means for signing up to an online auction site promoted through ClickBank, he was able to make instant profits without even owning the site. 

As with all new technologies, marketers will discover new and inventive ways to make money once they understand how to exploit it.

If you’re wondering how your sites fair in this burgeoning new 4.1 billion with a “B” mobile market, check out how some of your sites are displayed vs. perhaps google.mobi by entering both yours and theirs into this free mobile phone simulator http://mtld.mobi/emulator.php provided by Dotmobi.

If you’re shocked or embarrassed by the way your site is displayed to billions of mobile users you will be either happy or horrified to find that most cell phone and mobile device users will never see your site!

Mobile devices usually only access special mobile search-engines so the chance of them discovering your embarrassment is almost zero.

You see, what many cell phone and mobile device users don’t even realize is that when they search for sites online, from there phones and mobile devices their service tries to provide only results specifically optimized and relevant for being seen through the phone or device they are using.

This means your site is filtered out of results if it doesn’t display well.

It’s a brave new world of changing technologies with a network of publishers scrambling to supply content in formats that can be displayed well over this huge but complicated array of differing devices and service providers.

Fortunately, for you, “Mobile Marketing Exposed” exposes how easy it is to find tools for preparing sites that will display great on these mobile devices and get them indexed by the special search engines that people use from their phones and various mobile devices.

Google mobile search is vastly different from standard Google search, as you will see.

Marketing and promotion is also a whole new ball game through mobile applications, with a different set of rules and tools for checking return on investment. Initially it may seem like a maze to traverse but “Mobile Marketing Exposed” directs you to free tools and economical options to capitalize on the power of these mobile mediums.

Through SMS advertising, marketers are achieving an average of 12% conversion, often higher when marketers take time to utilize all of the tools available to target their audience, which are described in detail by Simon and Jeremy in this “Mobile Marketing Exposed course.

As “Mobile Marketing Exposed” explains, you can purchase SMS, text, video and other forms of direct-to-mobile-user-advertising, as easily and more affordably than buying Google Adwords, with even more incredible results.

When building a site to fit mobile device screens you will need to follow a different set of dimension recommendations and mark-up protocols. Some of you who do not have a background in designing websites for the mobile market will be elated to find the resources inside “Mobile Marketing Exposed”. Simon and Jeremy provide an plethora of online site builders and site building services to get the job done, pre-tested by them so you won’t spend time or money spinning your wheels as you begin your own transition into this exciting and profitable mobile world.

Likewise, “Mobile Marketing Exposed” offers you access to a full range of resources so no matter how big or small you are you’ll find the best tools. When you plan to enter this market, you’ll be sure to find the perfect service to fit your needs explained by Simon and Jeremy in this course.

From the one-man operation working on a shoestring budget, up to the Fortune 500, Jeremy and Simon have pulled together the resources you’ll need to get your feet wet, jump in or dive into the world of mobile marketing, successfully.

When it comes to testing your efficiency in mobile marketing, you won’t be let down either.

“Mobile Marketing Exposed” uncovers means to track an online marketing campaign’s efficiency, better than standard Internet marketing methods have provided in the past.

“Mobile Marketing Exposed” covers not only the technical side of mobile marketing, it also defines new market sectors available for marketers to set up new shops in, and exploit areas no one else is taking advantage of by pointing out many of  these new lucrative possibilities.

You’ll also be exposed to the most credible mobile Ad management companies available via Simons and Jeremy’s rigorous testing, and save time and money by avoiding unscrupulous Ad management servers.

You’ll learn how to purchase “ad power” for pennies on the dollar. And if you’re a web publisher, you’ll be happy to learn that you can make money by delivering mobile ready advertising from your mobile site, in the same way Google Adwords worked in its heyday!

There is a lot to discover in “Mobile Marketing Exposed” possibly the biggest thing, for all of us as marketers to learn is, that we can no longer afford to ignore statistics as huge as there being over 12 million people tied to their iPhone’s at this very moment in the US alone.

If you’re looking for a resource that can put you at the cutting edge of mobile marketing in the period of a day… with confidence I can say that by following the “Mobile Marketing Exposed” four video modules you will put yourself in an optimal position.

Link Cloaking - the Ultimate Affiliate Marketers Friend

Link cloaking is a very important part of affiliate marketing.  In
a nutshell, link cloaking is a way to protect your affiliate
commissions from being stolen.  It's not totally foolproof.  Smart
individuals who are well-educated about the matter can still figure
out how to keep you from getting your commission.

But most people won't go that far, so cloaking your links will
prevent most commission loss. How do people steal affiliate
commissions?  Well, have you ever hovered over a link and noticed
that the link was an obvious affiliate link?

Some people type in the parent domain instead of clicking the link
as a way of making sure the owner of the site gets paid 100% for
the sale.  Some people falsely believe that if they buy from an
affiliate link, they'll have to pay more for a commission mark-up.

Some people actually do it for a different reason.  If you're
promoting a ClickBank product, especially to other marketers, many
of them know they can insert their own ClickBank ID and get what's
usually a 50% or more discount on the product.

This is a different type of affiliate commission theft, because the
person doing it gets the affiliate commission themselves, rather
than just making sure you don't get it.  Most people don't do that,
of course, but it happens.

Most people are pretty honest, and don't mind giving you a little
affiliate commission in exchange for recommending a good product to
them.  But it's enough of a concern that you should take steps to
prevent it.

You can easily set up your own link cloaking system.  You can set
up a directory on one of your domains.  Most marketers use the
domain of their own name, as in bobsmith.com.  Then they typically
have a subdirectory called /recommends/.

Inside of that directory, they create a new subdirectory for each
product, like this: bobsmith.com/recommends/productname. In that
directory, they place what's called a redirect file, which
instantly takes the visitor to the actual affiliate link without
displaying it. You can easily find out how create a redirect by
looking it up online. It's very simple to do.

There are also a number of link cloaking scripts available.  Most
of them are relatively easy to install and use.  There's a big
benefit to using a script rather than doing it yourself.  Using
your simple redirect, there isn't an easy way to check how much
traffic you've sent to your link, like scripts do.

Most link cloaking scripts also allow you to add new links very
easily within an administrative area, and then each link is tracked
so that you can see how much traffic is going through the link.  If
you use your own file, the only way to tell how much traffic you've
sent is through your affiliate stats, which may be inaccurate, or
through your web server's stats, which may be difficult to use and hard to understand.

 

One of the best I've found is ViralURL. I've been a member for awhile now,

and it not only cloaks your affiliate link, it also provides tracking, And the best part,

the basic membership is absolutely free. But I suggest you upgrade using the one time

offer. It's one of the best around, and offers a slew of benefits the free membership does not.

Cloaking your affiliate links is the smart thing to do if you want
to be sure you are protecting your hard-earned commissions online.

P.S. Here's another great resource I created to help you build your
business:

http://www.rdavidhale.com/backen

S.I.M.P.L.E

"All I did was ask for this simple report, and I got inundated with all this crap."

When many people think of starting their own business, they go out and look at all the different options. Eventually, they will come to the online world. Then it's like a vacuum. They get sucked in and can even drown in the information.


I know, because this has happened to me. There are SO many ways to market online, it can be absolutely overwhelming. The "gurus" tell me to follow this system, or that system, and what happens? I can't get off "go" because I'm simply and totally underwater. 

But all that changed recently. Why?

Because I recently had the very good fortune of being introduced to Paul Evans, who is known as the Short Giant of Online Business and champion of all things "online membership" ... Paul is a former Youth Minister, a current Worship Leader, and Executive Director of 100x Missions. He's also an Internet Marketer, and from what I’ve seen, has the best membership resource that there is. He teaches entrepreneurs how to create a simple - but highly effective - membership site in their business. This allows them to work ON their business, not just IN their business.

Listening to him, the light bulbs began to go off in my head. I was brought back to the lessons that I had learned but put aside because I was too busy worrying about all the tasks I needed to do to run a business online successfully. For some reason, many entrepreneurs (myself included) believe that when they start their business, they have to learn everything there is to learn about running and marketing their business first.

From writing articles, buying Pay Per Click marketing, creating videos, setting up a wordpress blog, or forum marketing, we believe we have to know it all and do it all. According to Paul, most marketers can set up a simple membership site - like he has done - to allow them to release a lot of time, 'get a life', and create a real business with Simple Six Figures.

The solution that Paul has for all this? Simple. Simply set up a Simple Six Figures membership site to free your days while you do what you want. Most are not even aware that there are membership sites you can build and spend as little as 30 minutes a week on, and still have a business.  

Now, when I first heard about this, I thought, ‘hmmm…this has got to be very expensive...how can you do this and still not spend hours upon hours on these sites?’ Good question. This question - and more - is answered by Paul so freely at his website and on his brand new video on that site where he reveals a case study.

If you’re looking for a way to spend less time on your business while still being able to count on it, you have got to check out this site that Paul has set up. It will allow you to actually accomplish that.

Paul Evans is known for his integrity and he hasn't disappointed with this product. He pulls out all the stops and lays out a real, doable, and simple system. The same system he used himself to accomplish six figures from just one site that he reveals in his case study.
To see this case study, go to Simple Six Figures and watch it.

New FTC Rules (Guides) Are Really for Real!

The new FTC Rules (Guides) are in effect now! In fact, they went into effect December 1, 2009.

 What are they? Who do they affect? If you've got a website or blog, you must learn all you can about the new FTC Rules!

 

If you have a website that uses testimonials, these new guidelines restrict many types of testimonials you can use on your websites, especially if your websites are selling something. If you're using the wrong kind of testimonials, you could land on the wrong site of the Fed's fence.

Fortunately, Internet lawyer Mike Young and case studies expert Karl Barndt have teamed up to create a simple solution to this problem.

You can see it when you click my affiliate link right now...

Website Legal Forms Generator version 2.0

Yes, I'll get a commission if you make the wise decision to invest in this solution. However, I'm recommending this to you because I believe it is the right way to protect yourself when using testimonials.


Who does it affect?

It affects endorsements by organizations, celebrities, consumers, experts, material connections (affiliate compensation), testimonials, and bloggers.

Advertisements that use a consumer testimonial relating their experiences for a service or product, must disclose the outcome that actually happened to them or that can generally be expected. The term “results not typical” will no longer be acceptable.

“Material connections” or affiliate compensation usually in the form of payments or free products must be disclosed. This is sometimes called the affiliate compensation disclosure. This is true if you are a blogger or internet marketer.

Celebrity endorsers, under the new guides, must disclose their connection with advertisers (material connection – affiliate compensation) and not give unconfirmed or false statements about the product or service. Advertisers and endorsers may both be liable.

The effective date for these new guides was December 01, 2009.

How can you protect yourself, your blog and website? You can hire an attorney to draft the appropriate documents or use a software program to provide the correct documents. Either way, you should have certain documents on your website or blog. They include Terms and Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy, Anti-Spam Policy, External Links Policy, Earnings Disclaimer, Affiliate Agreement, Affiliate Compensation Disclosure (material connection) and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice.

Remember, the FTC guides are to protect consumers. Be in compliance so you and others can enjoy your blog and website.

If you wish to view the entire regulations, please view the FTC and Electronic Code of Federal Regulations website links below.

Effective Date: December 01, 2009

The Rapid Income Creator System

Rapid Income Creator by John Carter is one of those money making Internet products that comes along only every once in a while that makes you say, “Ah OK, why didn’t I think of that?”

It’s obvious that John has done his homework here and truly created what seems to be a truly hands-off PPV affiliate marketing system.  Rapid Income Creator combines professionally and PRE-BUILT created landing pages, specifically designed for PPV traffic, plus “copy and paste” demographic  research so members don’t have to guess or spend time doing the work to build campaigns.  Better yet, the way the program is set up, there’s no need for you to even have a website of your own, as the landing pages are fully hosted.

If that wasn’t enough, John went ahead and added dummy proof PDF reports on PPV and advertising so anyone could understand it.  And to top it off, Rapid Income Creator also boasts a traffic resources section that even makes many veteran online marketers blush.   There were a ton of new money-making traffic networks and advertising venues I haven’t even heard of.

My honest review of the product was that I was a bit surprised at how simple it was.  Every step of the way the program was laid out in a way that anyone could come in and understand.  It wasn’t heavy with tons of stuff to read and absorb.  The content John Carter gives in Rapid Income Creator is integrated into the program into actionable steps.
 
So every step of the way, you are learning by doing.  Taking specific actions and getting a result.  I have to admit that John does throw in a few documents to read though, but they’re super short and easy to understand.  The control center user interface inside Rapid Income Creator is truly designed as a dummy proof system.  If you can count, then you can use it.  No guesswork involved.

On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the best I would give Rapid Income Creator a 4.5 for quality.  I didn’t give it a 5 because every product can be improved slightly.  In fact, I hear that John has some secret improvements coming up that makes Rapid Income Creator even more valuable.
 
I’m trying to get in on his private list right now and will let you know what I find out when I do.  Rapid Income Creator is so far a lot more than I expected, which is a good thing considering all the B.S. programs and systems in the marketplace.

I also gave this program it a 4.5 for its money making potential,  because John does not go into how to make a large income with it, but does teach how to make a few hundred a day with it.  I give it a 4.5 once again for content because not only are the campaigns set up for you,  you also have top shelf resources that even I wish I knew about.  Rapid Income Creator is a surefire program that is going to do very well online for a lot of people.  How long will these methods work?  Well John has plans on making that indefinitely.

John Carter is one smart guy and I won’t be surprised if he soon becomes a regular household Internet marketing name!   Rapid Income Creator is one of the better products I’ve written about in a long time.
