Fancy Dress Parties

Not surprisingly I thought I’d got the whole fancy dress thing out of my system when I was a kid.

Just goes to sow how wrong you can be, I can’t say I was overly thrilled when Amanda and I recently got the invite to a friends party and they had decided to have a Pirate Fancy Dress themed party. So we scouted aroud on the web for some ideas and found a great site who specialise in Pirate Fancy Dress.

In the end we had a great time, Amanda went as a kind of sexy Buccanneer and of course my ego got the better of me and I chose a Piare King costume lol.

I may post some of the pictures, depending upon the comments I get. Or maybe if my readers have enough sense and spare themselves the pain to their eyes by remaining silent.

Only time will tell.

Your Affiliate Blueprint launched

Well it’s taken me longer than I hoped but eventually I have finished the latest of my products.

Your Affiliate Blueprint is aimed fairly and squarely at those people who have yet to make any real money online, or even dare I say “yet to make ANY money online”.

It is what it sounds like, a Step by Step blueprint to making money online through Affiliate Marketing.

It is delivered in 2 ways, the e-book part of the Blueprint and associated video “How to’s”, where I literally take you through EVERY step of the process.

So what makes it different from the other affiliate guides out there ?

Well, in all the other books and or video courses I’ve seen ( and I’ve seen many), none of them really show you how to pick a product properly.

In other words how to start off knowing that you have a winner right off the bat.

This is just one of the things I will share with you when you buy Your Affiliate Blueprint.

Clickbank Results - Essential for anyone publishing on Clickbank

Hi,

I came across a great guide to people who intend to publish their own info-products on Clickbank.

It has some real gems of wisdom in it on how to get your product ranked higher in the Clickbank Marketplace, which as most people will realise has a kind of snowball effect.

The higher you rise in the “Popularity” view of Clickbank, the more people see your product, the more likely people are to promote it and then the more popular your product becomes and guess what …….. the circle starts again.

Doesn’t matter what you’re selling, in whatever Niche, the same techniques apply.

After all, putting your pride and joy on Clickbank was designed to get you sales right ?

You owe it to yourself to check this out and it’s a no brainer price to be honest.

Backlinks and their importance for your site / blog

As we all (hopefully) know one of the things that matters when getting your site or blog “noticed” is building backlinks to it. The more the merrier.

Now one of the things that a lot of people don’t know is that Google for one (and prob the others) count links from certain places as more “important” than others.

A good example of this is the domain extension .edu, Google will perceive links to your site or blog from a .edu site as being worth more than a .com link for instance.

The “reasoning” behind this is that as an academic site then it must have more value than a commercial site, now we all know that’s not necessarily true, but hey, that’s what Google does and who are we to argue with Big G.

The great thing about this for us mere mortals is that we can exploit this for our own ends and use it to build backlinks from .edu sites.

Do You Track Your Clicks Properly ? Part 2

Hi,

Sorry this has taken a few days to post but I’ve been snowed under getting ready to launch a major product. If you’d like to know more about that then please sign up to the blog and you’ll be notified as we go through pre-launch and launch.

Anyway back to tracking your clicks.

I will assume for the purposes of this that you are familiar with how to create a redirect file and where to put them on your webspace etc. (If not, leave a comment and I’ll do a post on that for you as well)

A typical redirect file will look very much like this……..

Here’s one for Digital Mentorship Monthly, a Clickbank product.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>
<title>93 Ways Recommends - Mentorship Monthly</title>
</head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=”REFRESH” content=”0; url= http://XXXXX.smsdigital.hop.clickbank.net“>
<body>
</body>
</html>

The part in bold is the Clickbank hoplink, now most people will leave it at that, put the that link in ebooks, blog posts, emails wherever.

Do You Track Your Clicks Properly ? Part 1

One thing that I’ve noticed in various places related to Internet Marketing, on some well respected Blogs, in most of the eBooks that are about and all kinds of websites etc. is that you will always see that everyone will teach you how to cloak your link and place those links in your e-book or blog posts or articles.

The one thing that never really seems to get mentioned is tracking and measuring those links.

I’ve discovered over the years in “real life” marketing that very few people or businesses actually track and measure the advertising that they do. Now trust me here, what you are doing with those links is still advertising, just a different form.

So you make your blog post for example and sit back and hope that some kind souls will click your links and buy the product and you are one step nearer to your Ferrari.

I’m fed up with it all to be honest

Sorry but this is a rant which is probably long overdue.

I’m heartily sick of the same stuff being pushed by a whole heap of “gurus”.

Now, don’t get me wrong some of the “names” out there genuinely are making money by the bucketfull. But there’s a whole bunch of names that trot out the launch emails verbatim from the affiliate site.

What’s more most of these people I’ve never heard of and I’ve been running Internet based businesses for several years. I’m not even sure how I ended up on their lists tbh.

Anyway, I just spent a very happy 30 minutes going through my inbox and hitting Unsubscribe on a load of lists.

I’m now on 3-4 lists only. These are people who I trust to deliver me GOOD quality information that I can use to increase my business.

I suggest you do the same, pick the 3-4 people that you trust to deliver you excellent information that you can use and benefit from, stay with them and then junk the rest.

Dave Nicholson - Your Software Website - My Opinion

Dave Nicholson of Planet Divinity has just released an excellent new product called ‘Your Software Website‘ and it really is a super high quality, top end website that has a mountain of features.

As a friend of Dave’s I got a sneak preview as it launches on Monday 23rd February.

Your Software Website really is one of the best made websites, that has been designed for the every day non techy user that I have ever seen!

Trust me when I tell you that this website is worth at least 10x the price that Dave is charging.

The possibilites that you can create from this site are endless, just about every single area in the site is editable from a superbly designed admin panel, and the cash generating possibilites are outstanding.

Dave really appears to have asked himself “how can I generate the maximum possible cash for people” when he designed this site. There are cash generating links just about everywhere, but the best part is that is does not look like an ‘ad site’, it looks exactly like what it is, a fully stocked, fully linked software online shop website that’s easy on the eye.

Does Internet Marketing Work ?

Well it works for me and here’s why.

We’ve just had the most snow here in the UK for 18 years apparently and so what was I able to do ?

Take my 2 young boys sledging and snowball fighting down at our local park. There’’s some great hills for sledging, so who was the biggest kid of the 3 of us ? I’ll let you decide lol.

Now I know a lot of people will say “so what, I did that as well ?”

My question to you is how much money did you make while you were playing ?

Well, I didn’t make enough to buy a Ferrari but I got home and found that one of the Clickbank products I promote had made a sale, and 2 people had subscribed to my blog list so at some point I have a chance of making a sale (or more) sometime down the line.
