“Advanced Conversion
Tracking Strategy…..”

There are 2 main groups of online business owners, those that do nothing to track their results and those that make money. If you are 100% relying on your intuition and not tracking your marketing results, your chances of being profitable is very slim. (Even if you are really brilliant!)

Not tracking your conversions is no different from driving your car in a dark and unknown area with your headlights off! Dangerous! (Not referring to the late Michael Jackson here!)

You are about to discover how to track your conversions in a way that allows you to have the clearest possible view of your business. This will also allow you make smarter decisions to help you grow your business faster.

PPC Default Conversion Tracking

If you are using AdWords or any other pay per click engines, usually, they would give you a piece of code known as the conversion tracking code for you to place on your conversion page, commonly known as your thank you page.

The good thing about it is the fact that your conversions will show in your interface, making it easy for you to look at your marketing results. The bad thing is, you can either track leads or sales and not both at once.

PPC Affiliate Conversion Tracking

The best way I know how to track sales for affiliate marketing is using Prosper202. It is a free open source software, you can modify it to any way you want.

You can easily install it on your server and it is also simple and easy to use. The fact that the interface looks really cool, makes it really easy for your eyes to view your marketing results. Bear in mind that it only works for affiliate programs which allow subid tracking, which most good networks do.

Same thing here, you can either track leads or sales and not both at once. If you need to track both, here is What you can do is….. place your AdWords conversion code on your thank you page to track leads and use Prosper202 to track your sales. Simple?

This tip is for you if use squeeze pages before presenting your affiliate offers.

Google Website Optimizer Quick Tip…..
Use 2 variables within your landing page to rotate 2 different offers.

Simple Conversion Tracking

If you are like me and you choose to track both leads and sales with each individual link and you want to see both leads and sales results on a single tracking interface, how about using AdTrackz?

You might be thinking, with so many powerful free tracking tools easily available, why bother to invest in AdTrackz? First of all, it does not cost much, it has unlimited license which means you are allowed to install on as many domains as you want and you get 1 free installation.

AdTrackz

There are many ways to use AdTrackz, when I first bought it in 2006, I only used it to cloak my affiliate links. Then I started to use it for tracking my own leads and product sales. In no time, I started to see what works and what does not work so I tweaked my marketing accordingly.

That was the time when I finally got the revelation of the importance of testing and tracking! Now you know why some marketers always tell you to track because it really works, it really makes you money. After all, money is not made with new fancy ideas but traditional testing, tracking and tweaking!

Here a few clever ways you can use AdTrackz…..

• tracking leads and sales using the same link.
• tracking ppc ads on adgroup or keyword level.
• tracking banner ads, those you pay monthly or by CPM.

If you are paying traffic, you should always be tracking by the individual source so that you know exactly what works for you. In this way, you can focus on traffic sources that work and eliminate those that do not work.

Here a few more clever ways you can use AdTrackz…..

• tracking ezine solo ads.
• tracking article resource links.
• tracking autoresponder emails.

Ezine Solo Ads

All ezines have different prices, number of subscribers and different response rates, if you do not track, you will not know which is good for you business. Those ezines which are profitable, you keep advertising with them, those that are not, drop them fast.

Ezine Ads Quick Tip…..
To find the best ezines for your business, simply use Ezine Directory. Personally, I found a number of really good ezines that I can buy solo ads for cheap. Many times, they are so cheap that even when the response rates are not too good, you can still make it profitable!

Article Resource Links

Every article you submit to article directories, you should have links back to your squeeze page or at least a blog with an popup or opt-in box. Just by tracking, you will know which articles helps convert more leads for you and you can then write more of such articles.

Autoresponder Emails

When you track each individual email, you will soon discover which email makes you the most money. When you find it out, move that email higher up your sequence, let it appear in the first few emails of your sequence instead of placing it at the back.

Email Swaps

Before I forget….. if you do email swaps with others, you should track. After that, you would know who are the email swap partners with highly responsive leads and who are those with lower quality leads.

Email Swap Quick Tip…..
Use EasyClickMate to redirect to your squeeze page so that you can give your email swap partner affiliate commissions for the sales of your product. Now, there is a good reason for others to be willing to do a swap with you.

AdTrack Link Organization

Here is a quick example of how I organize my AdTrackz links so that I can sort them out easily whenever I need…..

• url.com/adtrackz/go.php?c=url_ppc_adgroup_keyword
• url.com/adtrackz/go.php?c=url_soload_ezine_year_month
• url.com/adtrackz/go.php?c=url_bannerad_website_year_month
• url.com/adtrackz/go.php?c=url_emailswap_partner_year_month
• url.com/adtrackz/go.php?c=url_emailseries_emailnumber

Conclusion

AdTrackz will make your testing and tracking so much easier because of the simplicity and accuracy. This is the reason why so many big time internet marketers use it, of course, it is quietly behind the scenes and you did not notice it. Check out the interface of AdTrackz, very neat, simple and easy to understand…..

This old-school style of tracking your traffic sources was never a sexy thing, however, it always makes you money! If you do not track, you will never know what makes you money and what makes you nothing. Give it a try, you will never regret your decision to become an avid tester! Starting from now…..

“Presell Secrets X…..”

What the heck is Presell Secrets X? If you have been in the internet marketing circles for awhile, you know that many people like to add the word X at the back of their products. Before you make any decision, you must read this. Yes, you must read this review so that you can make a good decision.

You probably realized that I know these guys personally. Previously, I wrote a review for their other course, Authority Blueprint X. What you are about to read might be favorable to them. As you know, you do NOT have to believe every word I say, this is my blog and I am sharing my opinion and experience.

Real People Real Business

When I first got started, I used to think that ClickBank is where you sell mainly internet marketing related products and software until I saw a clearer picture. Good news, there are lots of highly profitable niches in there and most of them has nothing to do with internet marketing.

I do quite well in a certain niche which I am not revealing here since it is not related to internet marketing. I got some plans to enter another wierd niche, which I may share with you later on…..

Warning: Most people who sell internet marketing related stuff have never done anything outside selling to internet marketers, these are bloody liars! Get off their list and avoid them like poison because they are lying to you, making a damn fool out of you!

Anyway, what I wanted to say was, these guys, Alvin Huang and Joel Chue are real people (obviously) and they run real businesses outside internet marketing which is why taking their advice and using their ideas can prove very profitable for you. It works for me and it should work for you too!

Presell Secrets X Review

Before I continue my review, I just wanted to tell you the truth about my dilemma and frustration. I am in a dilemma because there are so many great tips hidden so I cannot expose everything to you out of respect for them. I am frustrated because without giving a lot of content to you, I find it hard to write!

Presell Secrets X: Module 1

Guess what, it starts with research! Before you throw up your hands in disgust, look back at some of your past projects which did not do as well as you expected, you messed up your research, right? I salute them because they show you the most important thing, right up front.

Your research starts from Ezine Articles, Amazon, ClickBank, eBay Pulse, offline publications and magazines. Maybe the news? How about popular television talk shows like Oprah? This is where your imagination is allowed to flow freely.

10 all time popular niches exposed! If you are not sure where to start your research, you can start by looking at these niches. I also noticed that these are all very profitable niches that can work for the long term, especially when you are an affiliate marketer.

Are you picking the right affiliate offers? Do you know that most affiliate offers will not convert well? Sometimes you need to test up to 10 offers before you find your winning offer. With their tips, I believe you can find your winning offer much faster than before.

Keyword research for SEO, PPC and article marketing must be done in a totally different manner. I found this out very late in the game and here it is, all given to you on a silver platter, right inside this course! Read this and you will save a lot of time and effort.

Presell Secrets X: Module 2

Things are getting more interesting here….. you are about to discover 2 simple things that can set you apart from 80% of affiliates because they either do not know how to do this properly or they are simply lazy.

• Identifying your target audience.
• Conditioning them to buy from you.

Bonding and rapport building is the real key that separates the typical affiliates and the super affiliates. Since these guys have some background in self-improvement, persuasion and such stuff, they are actually applying their knowledge here and it really works well.

Crafting your message, including your content, your story, your persona is another important part of the course. You can use a pen name too, since it might work better in many cases. Once again, I cannot share all the juicy parts because they are hidden from you….. for a time being! (Until you buy!)

Presell with your content, your story, your product comparisons and more. You will discover how to do it in a cool way that allows you to become a trustworthy source in the eyes of your audience. After all, the name of the course is Presell Secrets X.

Presell Secrets X: Module 3

Here is where you can boost your profits by doing this simple thing. This is the most unsexy part of most online businesses…..testing and tracking! You will discover how to test, what exactly to test, what tools to use and more.

Their tracking guidelines is where I am not impressed. Now, I am not saying that it is no good, just saying that it is not as detailed compared to my own Advanced Conversion Tracking Strategy. Oops, promoting myself again!

You will also discover how you can integrate presell concepts into other advertising mediums. This is very interesting! Why the heck did they put this at the end? I wished this section was placed higher up the course because I almost missed it!

Presell Secrets X: Bonus Modules

• Templates will be provided for you, this is a time saver for you because you can get started much faster.
• Videos are included and this is for those who need a little hand holding. I prefer reading because it is faster for me.
• Cheap Clicks Report is what I read first. I believe this report alone will put your investment back into your pocket in no time.

WAIT, There Is More!!!

All the cards will be laid on the table and yes, I do have something to sell, that is as straight forward as I can get! Simply buy through my link and you will get the additional bonus.

“Commission Blueprint 2 Review…..”

Here is a quick review of Commission Blueprint 2. This is a much comprehensive affiliate marketing course compared to the first version. Previously, it was mainly about pay per click, this time it covers more organic or free traffic methods. Is it worth your time and money? Read on to decide for yourself…..

Commission Blueprint 2 Overview

Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey, creators of Commission Blueprint are 1 of the most trustworthy internet marketers. The main reason why I got this course was because I knew that they always share high quality ideas which you can easily understand and implement. In short, it is practical and without hype or fluff.

If you do NOT have money to spend, you will be thrown an absolutely ton of techniques to get you website traffic and sales without spending any money. If you have money to spend on advertising, you will be shown countless strategies to explode your sales and profits.

Simple Instructions

There is just so much good stuff packed into this package. There are over 50 videos and over 20 instruction manuals. I also like the way they label each manual with 3 levels, Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.

Powerful Tools

You also get full access to the in-house tools that they use to make thousands of dollars each week with affiliate marketing. This alone will help you save lots of money in subscription payments.

Unique Case Studies

You will get case studies and insider knowledge about promotions that have generated as much as $500,000 in pure profit. Totally unheard of and essential for your success. This includes markets outside internet marketing!

Responsive Support

On top of all that, you will get on-going support from both their help desk and forum. So anytime you feel that you want to ask some questions, feel free to ask them, nothing to be shy about asking.

Keyword Research

The way they teach keyword research can really change your game in affiliate marketing. From here, I saw some mistakes that I made in the past and now I know exactly how to fix them.

ABC Ad Writing Techniques

ABC = Attention + Benefit + Call to action

Their ABC ad writing is very simple, first you must know your target audience, then you must become like your target customer, at least when you are writing to them. This simple stuff really works!

Web2.0

Hubpages, Squidoo, Scribed and Zimbio are some sites that allow you to share your content and get links. In this course, I discovered a better approach to harness the power of such sites to get more organic traffic.

Article Marketing

Article Marketing = Ezine Articles

I said that because the traffic you can get from Ezine Articles is so much more than many of the other article directories add up together. When you know how to get your articles to rank well, you can get even more traffic. I found another gold nugget here, on the last page of the article marketing manual.

Bonus Incentive Strategy

You will discover how you can use bonus incentive to get more people to buy through your affiliate link. You can even use this simple idea to build your own list of proven buyers.

Internet Marketing Product Launches

Discover how you can make lots of money from internet marketing product launches. You need a few quick tips on how to rank well on the exact day of the product launch.

IP Conversion Tactic

This is a unique strategy that helps provide social proof and relevancy to your visitors. I personally think it is very powerful and I will not reveal it here. Hint: This is great for dating and education offers.

Email Marketing And List Building

You will discover which markets to build lists and which markets not to build lists. You will learn about squeeze pages and how you can use them for more profits. Squeeze page templates are also included. Next, you will also get a better idea of how you can write emails that convert into sales and profits.

Advanced Stuff

There are 2 advanced methods which I like a lot. First method is about doubling your landing page conversion for more profits. Second method is about riding on search trends to promote affiliate offers.

“SpeedPPC Made Me
Lose Money…..”

Sounds like I am about to whine and complain about how I lost money while using SpeedPPC, however that is not true. I honestly think that it is a useful software though I no longer use it. Also, the developers are trusted experts in this field and every word on their sales letter is true.

Here is why I no longer have to use SpeedPPC…..

When I first started using it, I realized that it works with AdWords Editor, so I decided to figure out how to use it as well. In less than a day, I figured out how to use both SpeedPPC and AdWords Editor. I was so happy that I can now create multiple adgroups with a single keyword in each of them in just a few minutes!

SpeedPPC Test

I created a direct linking test campaign for a CPA offer. Within that campaign, there were over 2,000 keywords, all grouped neatly into small tight adgroups and as usual, I did this in just a few minutes. Everything happened so fast, the campaign went live and the very next morning….. I lost money!

I guess, I went so fast that I missed out on proper keyword research. If a software can do something for you very fast, you can either make you money or lose you money very fast. That is the reason why I do NOT recommend that you invest in SpeedPPC if you are new. For me, I was new to CPA offers then.

AdWords Editor

After I lost money, I decided to take a closer look at what I just did so that I can learn from my own mistakes. Sometimes, mistakes do teach us useful lessons. I discovered the capabilities of AdWords Editor and you can use it upload and edit campaigns quickly.

SpeedPPC

SpeedPPC creates CSV files based on your keywords, ads and adgroups. Did you know that you can do that with any spreadsheet software? Rather than spending money (SpeedPPC is NOT cheap) all you need is any spreadsheet software and AdWords Editor, which you can get both for free.

Advanced Campaign Building

Inside my FREE AdWords Crash Course, I have a video that shows you exactly how to mass upload and edit your campaigns simply with spreadsheet and AdWords editor. Many of all the top super affiliates and marketers use this method, in fact this simple little idea replaces the most important function within SpeedPPC.

Important Note:
I was seriously tempted to promote SpeedPPC as an affiliate then give away this video as a bonus. However, I was reminded of myself when I first started. In those days, I cannot afford a software like that, so I shall show you this unique method to help you out….. at the risk of losing my opportunity to get commissions for SpeedPPC.

“Defeating Google Slap
Once And For All…..”

If you use Google AdWords, nothing is more frustrating than having your minimum bids being jacked up to some crazy amount which makes it impossible to profit. In our industry, this is known as Google Slap. Notice that the ones who always suffer from it seems to be affiliate marketers.

Before you throw your arms up in total frustration, let me clarify that Google is NOT against affiliates. What they want is to show the most relevant search results for their users. Understanding their purpose and making some small changes based on that will help you overcome Google Slaps once and for all!

Relevance And Quality

The sole purpose of the existence of Google is that they want to offer the highest quality search results. This is also the reason why they were able to beat other search engines to grab the biggest market share in terms of search.

What they want from their results, (both organic and AdWords) is relevance and high quality content. How exactly they define it, it is not easy to explain, the best I can do is to share what works for me time and again.

Harsh Reality

You were slapped by Google because the quality of your content on your website is not good enough in the eyes of Google. Alright, that sounds harsh, then again, I do not want to sugar coat stuff and pretend to make everything sound like a bed of roses.

AdWords have their set of best practices, just follow them and your quality score will be good and it will result in you being able to get lower minimum bids. If you want to use their system, follow their rules, simple?

The Most Horrid Mistake

Dumping a huge list of keywords into a single adgroup is the most horrid mistake that most beginners do, this might be the main reason why your bids get jacked up so high.

Just think about it, how can a few hundred keywords be related to each other? Take time and split your keywords into smaller groups. Maybe under 15 or 20 keywords per adgroup and all the keywords must be within the same theme.

Improving Quality Score

High Quality Score = Low Cost Per Click and Low Minimum Bid

Getting a lower cost per click and a lower minimum bid is the main reason why you want to take some time to improve your quality score. This small little improvement will surely improve your bottom line.

Improving your quality score is simple, first of all make sure the keywords in your adgroup are all related to each other and they should all fall within the same category or same theme.

Having lesser keywords in each adgroup will allow you to accurately match your keywords with your ads, which will help you appear more relevant and at the same time increase click through rate of your ads.

Dynamic Keyword Insertion: this is a very useful tactic and you may want to check out this article by Google.

Improving Landing Pages

Keywords

On your landing pages, add your keywords in your title tags, meta tags, meta description, H1 tags and headline. This sounds like on-page SEO and it does help a lot in your quality score. Sprinkle the keywords naturally instead of stuffing them all over.

I use WordPress for my landing pages because it is easy to add keywords into my title tags, meta tags, meta description, H1 tags and headline. It is also very easy to add additional pages.

Admin Links

To make your site more credible, you should have a few administrative links such as privacy policy and contact page. This is part of the requirement of Google and since it only takes very little time to add them, why not.

Images

If you have images which are NOT totally relevant to your page, such as guarantee seal, order button and such stuff, you need to rename them with numbers. Most people will name their order button as order-button.jpg, you should name it as a123.jpg or 123.jpg or something like that.

For relevant images, name them with your keywords. Maybe your offer is an accounting software, you can name your image as accounting-software.jpg or name-of-accounting-software.jpg or your-keyword.jpg. You get the idea.

You can also put your keywords in the alt text of your images. Once again, do this naturally, instead of keyword spamming.

Incoming Links

Some people say that having some incoming links to your landing pages would also help, however, I do have some landing pages without a single incoming link yet my quality score is still very good.

Content Network

Announcement: Content network is now Google Display Network.
It is just a change in name, everything else remains the same.

Use AdWords Content Network. Why not? There is so much more traffic at a much lower cost. When you get used to it, you can easily move on to media buying where you can get even more traffic.

Yahoo And Bing

Use Yahoo and Bing pay-per-click! I used to think that there are a lot less traffic with Yahoo and Bing, however, if you add more keywords, you end up getting more traffic. Also, there is less competition compared to Google therefore the clicks cost lesser.

Best of all, they are so much more forgiving than Google AdWords and you can get away with some mistakes like adding many keywords in a single campaign! You can even get away with direct linking most of the time! No kidding!

At least for now, we can still get away with all these stuff, just remember that things will change in future, it is just a matter of time before Yahoo and Bing become as strict as Google. Therefore, take advantage while you still can.

Do not just take my word for it. Try it for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Conclusion

Now that you understand how Google works, how you can follow their best practices and end up being totally unaffected by any slap. As simple as it seems, all you need is just a few small changes and you will be alright.

Enjoy…..

“Monetization Strategy…..”

When it comes to marketing online, having a clear monetization strategy is a must, if not you will not make any money. People who are new to online marketing are usually very confused about this and they just cannot pin point what exactly is going on. Sometimes, even the more seasoned marketers also have issues with their strategy.

In short, there are a few important components in an online business:

• traffic: getting visitors to your website
• conversion: converting visitors into profits

You are about to discover how you can combine them to work in your favor. Then you will also see how you can use content for getting traffic, improving conversions and much more…..

Conversion Strategy: How Do You Get Paid?

Some of the most common ways for you to get paid:

• selling digital/physical products as a merchant
• selling digital/physical products as an affiliate
• selling your services as a free lancer
• selling ad space on your website/blog
• placing ads like AdSense or eBay ads
• allow others to buy your business

There are so many good strategies out there and you need to pick one main strategy for your business. You can also combine more than one strategy, however, you need to make sure your combination works well.

For example, I usually have digital products which I sell as a merchant and at the same time, I promote other products as an affiliate. I do not sell ad space or put up AdSense or eBay ads.

You would notice that many bloggers sell ad space, put up AdSense or eBay ads. You would also noticed that some of them also provide services such as writing, design, programming and more.

Some people build a website with only one intention which is to sell if off at a high price. Personally, I am not in favor of this strategy because it takes too long to get paid.

Traffic Strategy: How Do You Get Traffic?

There are main 2 categories of traffic, though there are many sources of traffic:

• paid traffic: pay per click, banners ads, ezine ads, pay per view
• organic traffic: seo, articles, blogging, social media, referral

What I just mentioned are the more common sources of traffic, there are much more traffic sources that I have not mentioned yet. If I were to mention everything, this would become a super long blog post.

Notice that I said organic traffic instead of saying free traffic? Organic traffic requires more work and it takes more time than paid traffic. Ultimately, you always have to trade your skills and your effort or your skills and your money for traffic.

Paid Traffic requires you to create compelling ad copy, it is usually easy to track your returns, also the traffic is fast and consistent.

Organic Traffic requires you to put in more effort, tracking is not as easy as paid traffic, also the traffic can be unpredictable.

As for quality of traffic, it all depends on your individual traffic source. Only when you track then you can find out if the quality of your traffic is good. If it is good, your returns will be higher.

From personal experience, paid traffic usually converts into profits much faster than organic traffic.

Traffic And Conversion Match

Also nobody seems to talk about this issue of matching your traffic type to your conversion strategy. You can send very high quality traffic to websites which uses a strategy that does not match the traffic and it would result in no profits.

For paid search traffic, people are actively searching for something, you can send them to a landing page which is usually a salesletter, product review page, product comparison page or squeeze page.

If you give people what they are searching for, conversion should not be an issue. When people click on your ad, usually they know that it is an ad yet they are still willing to click on it, this only shows that they are interested in what you have to offer.

For organic traffic, people are usually searching for information and if you have content on your websites or blogs, they would want to read it. They are expecting content rather than sales pitch.

On your content pages, you could have links to pages which you are selling something. Maybe you are not selling anything except ad space and you also display AdSense or eBay ads.

High Quality Content

Content Leads To Conversion

With high quality, well-researched, well-written content, it will help to build trust and establish credibility. People are not stupid, when they see badly written or poor-presented content, they might want to leave your website fast.

When you use high quality content on your sites, more people will trust you. When people trust you, they will give their attention to you, eventually, they will be more willing to invest in your products or your services or they keep reading your blog and they recommend others to you.

This is how high quality content can lead to better conversions, it will always work, no matter which monetization strategy you choose.

Content Leads To Traffic

Content can be in multiple forms, mainly, text, audio, video. For text, you can submit articles to article directories, post them on information sharing sites (web2.0) and more. For audio and video, you can submit them to their relevant directories.

As you publish your content in many places all over the internet, you get more incoming links. These links will get you direct traffic, such as article marketing and web2.0 sites. When you get more links, your rankings on the search engines will go up.

This is how content can help you get more organic traffic, not too fast, not too slow and you may end up with good long term results.

Text based content (articles) can be converted into videos (power point slides with audio) and submitted to video sites like YouTube.

Your Content Is Your Product

Get serious with your content and treat it as your products, think of it this way:

• presell or review pages are products of an affiliate
• content-based blog posts are products of a blogger
• articles are products of an article marketer
• videos are products of an video marketer
• emails are products of an email marketer
• ppc ads are products of a ppc marketer

Now you can see content in a different light, not only can you package it into an ebook or ecourse to sell on ClickBank, you can also use it for so many other different purposes.

Action Steps

• Start with a simple monetization strategy.
• Build your site with high quality content.
• Buy some traffic and track your results.
• Improve your conversion rates.
• Generate even more traffic.
• Find more ways to monetize.
• Repeat.

I know it sounds simplified, this is still good enough to get you thinking through your monetization strategy.

For maximum conversions, every individual web page should have only one single purpose and zero distractions.

“PPC Review:
How To Succeed With PPC…..”

I do get a lot questions about how I got started with ppc. Here is an honest truth….. I did NOT figure everything out by myself, I was blessed to learn from some industry experts who are honest and proficient.

After learning from them, I knew exactly what to test. If I do not know what to test, I would not have succeeded with ppc marketing.

Among so many ppc courses that I read and tested, these are the very best, (at least in my humble opinion). Not only do they work really well, they are easy to understand and implement, I believe these ideas will continue to work for the long run.

AdWords Pioneer: Perry Marshall

Almost everybody who has been online for awhile would have heard of Perry Marshall. From what I can remember, the first course which I bought was his Definitive Guide To Google AdWords. Without it, I would not have been able to put together my very first AdWords campaign.

I have always been on his email list and I read his blog on a regular basis. He is not just about AdWords, he also talks about market research, improving conversions, testing and tracking, business strategies, developing USP and more.

FREE Content

Get on Perry Marshall’s email list, even his free information is useful and can help you in your business, just like it has helped me over the years.

Definitive Guide To Google AdWords

If you wish to purchase this course, you can get a better deal by joining his Renaissance Club Membership (Monthly Printed Newsletters With Audio CDs). All these items will be shipped right to your door step.

If you do not wish to continue with his monthly membership, just email him to cancel, no hassle at all. Chances are, after reading a few pages of the newsletter, you would be hooked! The content is pure gold, read it and you will know what I mean.

Super Affiliates: Commission Blueprint

Commission Blueprint was created by Tim Godfrey and Steve Clayton. It comes with some reports and some videos, which I still have not watched! I read the reports a few times because they were that good!

These guys showed us proof that they did over $100,000 in commissions, (within a month), for a single affiliate program ClickBank! Before you get too excited, I guess half of it was their nett profits. $50,000 in commissions, within a month, for a single affiliate program is still a very good income!

What amazed me was the fact that ClickBank even interviewed Steve and made him some sort of case study for others to learn. How few super affiliates can get such attention, especially from ClickBank.

I could go on and on about these guys and the course, however it is best that you check out Commission Blueprint for yourself. When you purchase through my link, you will get the following bonus.

Presell Expert: Mark Acutt

Chances are, you may not have heard of Mark Acutt because he is not yet as well-known as the above people whom I just mentioned. I discovered him, read his material and found him to be a great source of common sense!

His course, Cash Boot Strap Method lays out a complete method from start to finish about his ppc strategy. This course might not cost much, however, there is a lot really good content inside.

He has another course, Cash Presell Method, which is actually an upsell. This course is shorter though it really includes the very fine details of writing a presell that converts.

There are small little nuggets of gold all over this course! I like the part about framing your affiliate offer based on your audience, showing the product and benefits in a way that makes people really want to buy.

Flow charts are also included so that you can understand the whole flow of marketing at a glance.

Conclusion…..

It is no secret that there are many really good ppc marketers out there. These people whom I just mentioned, they are not just good marketers, they are great at teaching people as well.

“Instant PayDay Formula Review…..”

What you are about to see is NOT your usual 50 page ebook from ClickBank. This is a very comprehensive manual which contains 184 pages. (16 chapters!) If that is not enough, it also comes with 30 videos. (Over 10 hours!) Can you imagine that?

Instant Payday Formula Review: Comments From Kim Roach

If I say that my Instant Payday Formula Review is good, it may be good, however when the publisher, Kim Roach, says that my review is the BEST, then it surely must be the best and you must read it! Check out the screenshot of this email.

Instant Payday Formula: Manual Overview

I will run through the whole manual, chapter by chapter and show you what is inside. Just by reading this summary, you will save a lot of time because I took the time to review this for you. If I do miss out some details, it was done out of respect for the publisher, Kim Roach….. If I gave away everything, it would not be fair to her, right? Especially when it was so obvious that she poured out so much effort into this whole package.

Chapter 1: The Key To Success
This is an introduction chapter which talks about being persistent and having a burning desire to succeed. I also like her online success formula, which is a lot like mine…..

Online Success Formula:
Hungry Market + Building A Mailing List +
Traffic + Testing + Tracking + Focus
= Massive Online Success

Chapter 2: Market Research
I love research because every time I do research, I always make money. A long list of keywords are provided for you so that you can search and find some hungry markets. Some websites were also provided for you to zoom in on these hot markets.

Chapter 3: Competitive Intelligence
You will discover how to reverse engineer your competitors success strategies. Is is simpler than you think. You can study their sales funnel and also spy on their ppc. That was how I learn very specific ideas when I was starting out.

Chapter 4: Building A Mailing List
You will discover how important list building is to your business. Using squeeze pages still work well, despite what some people are saying. You will be shown some very high converting squeeze pages so you can build your own high-converting squeeze pages.

Chapter 5: 10X Traffic Method
Maybe I am a hard-core skeptic….. this chapter sounded like a joke to me but I was wrong. It was a clever move to repurpose your content into multiple forms then using them to get traffic. It includes some very cool RSS tricks as well.

Chapter 6: Guest Blogging
I have done this a few times a couple of years ago. Not my favorite way to get traffic but it does work. You will be shown how to do this the right way to get maximum exposure. It does help to establish your credibility as well.

Chapter 7: Advanced Article Marketing
Like it or not, article marketing has always worked and will continue to work for the long term. You will discover how to get unlimited ideas for creating great articles and how to use them to get more traffic.

Chapter 8: Forum Marketing
Once again, not my favorite traffic strategy. She shows you how to find forums and what to do in forums so that people will like you, trust you and visit your site. Remember that people usually buy stuff from people they like and trust.

Chapter 9: Video Marketing
I am not an expert in videos so this chapter helps me a lot. Now I realized that videos can not only get you very targeted traffic, they can get you backlinks which will help you rank better on the search engines.

The thing I like about this chapter is….. I discovered how to dig out hidden traffic sources from YouTube. Some of these sites have AdSense on them, which means I can place my AdWords ads on those sites! That is one great idea to get cheap and targeted traffic!

Quick Video Tip:
Create a YouTube video optimized for your name.
Whenever you search for your name in Google,
your video will rank in Google with a picture of you!

Chapter 10: Ad Swaps
I have also done ad swaps before. It did not work too well for me then. Now when I read this chapter, I discovered how to make them work well for me. This is one of first things I would implement because it is easy and it cost nothing at all.

Chapter 11: Social Media
Social media is actually more about people and networking, rather than purely getting traffic. As much as I always prefer using paid traffic, I simply cannot ignore social media because it is just so BIG now.

First of all, you need to be in the right social group which your target audience hangs out. Next, you need to have a good profile which will cause people to want to know more about you. This time, first impressions really matter!

On top of higher search engine rankings, social media can help you become the obvious expert in your market, you can get lots of quality backlinks and the best part is probably the networking opportunities.

Chapter 12: Twitter
Twitter appeared to be something silly at first then when I took a closer look, I saw that it can used for networking and credibility building. A long list of tips and tools are provided. Just follow them and it will work well for your business.

Chapter 13: Stumble Upon
By now, you probably know that I am no social media expert. Previously, I stumbled a little, got some traffic and no sales so I stopped. Now I know how to create a proper profile and the proper way to stumble.

Chapter 14: Squidoo
Not all Squidoo lenses are made equal! Most of them sucks. From this chapter, I discovered a clever way to use Squidoo to build my list. Not only am I building my list, I am building my crediblity as the authority in my market. Not forgetting the one-way backlinks as well.

Squidoo lenses are like websites, no point having thousands of them when there is no traffic. You will discover how to get traffic to your squidoo lenses, it is not as hard as you think.

Chapter 15: Email Marketing
I love email marketing! This chapter gives you an idea of what kind of emails to pre-schedule in your email autoresponder sequence. For a good start, simply swipe the emails that she provided. Please do NOT copy word for word, get the idea and write in your own words.

Email Marketing Truth:
The money is NOT in the list!
The money is in the relationship with the list!

Chapter 16: Surveys
It sounds a little strange, ending a manual with the last chapter about surveys. In order to improve your marketing you must experience what your prospect experiences. Just like a chef needs to taste his own food!

Therefore, simply by knowing your customers fears, frustrations, wants, and desires, you will be able to create marketing messages that fit them like a glove. When that happens, conversion rates will skyrocket for sure!

Instant Payday Formula: Video Dashboard

The publisher, Kim Roach, made a smart move by arranging the videos in this cool-looking, sequential, systematic dashboard. 30 videos is a lot so she arranged in such a way that you can easily find what you want, without getting lost.

You can see that there are 5 steps and each step is carefully divided into 6 parts. Some of the videos are short, under 15 minutes, most of the videos are about 30 minutes. Very newbie-friendly indeed, even the seasoned marketers can pick up many good ideas here and there.

Conclusion

Writing this long review certainly took me time! Reality is there is almost no such thing as instant! Instant Payday Formula will make you money, that is for sure. Instantly? Surely not.

However, if you follow the steps, with each step you take, you will see results, either you get more traffic or you get more sales. Seeing your progress gradually and steadily is something that boosts your morale and helps you move forward.

Instant Payday Formula Bonus

If you purchase Instant Payday Formula through my special link on this page, I will send you some custom-modified wordpress templates (Value: $39.95). These are professional-looking templates which have been optimized to load faster, the fonts are also customized, making it so easy to read.

Since blogging is recommended, you can use my templates for your convenience. Instructions are included as well. Yes, support is provided as well.

This package does not focus much on AdWords, however, like it or not, AdWords is always the first thing you should do before doing other traffic methods. If you want, you can always grab this AdWords Crash Course at no cost.

You might want to scan the sales copy instead of reading everything there because I find that the copy is not doing justice to the actual course! The sales copy somehow failed to describe the full benefits of the entire package.

I also believe that the price is too low for the value. If each video was worth $10 and there are 30 videos, then this course should cost at least $300, fortunately for you, it cost much less than that.

“Internet Marketing Reviews…..”

How many times have you joined an email list only to unsubscribe a week later? This happens when your expectations were not met, you expected high quality content yet you ended up with endless amount of sales pitch asking you to buy a bunch of crap. I will tell you straight up…..

What Can You Expect Here

In every market that you enter, you should always start with ppc. (I do that all the time.) The reason why you do that is because you need to get enough traffic in the shortest possible time to test if your idea will sell.

Remember: no traffic = no sales = no money

PPC And Affiliate Marketing

By looking at this domain name, you can expect lots of ppc tips. Tips would also include….. entering markets, picking affiliate offers, researching keywords, setting up campaigns, ad writing, landing pages, email copy and more.

Social Media And Direct Marketing

Sometimes I do cover SEO, blogging and social media. As much as I am a hardcore direct marketing nut, there is no way we can ignore social media. The key here is to use SEO, blogging and social media as a tool for direct marketing.

You can always expect to hear about selling, selling and more selling. After all, if you do not sell anything, you do not get paid, right? Even if you are doing CPA offers, getting someone to take an action is considered selling as well.

ClickBank And Niche Marketing

There are no end of opportunities with ClickBank for both affiliates and product owners, therefore, you will always hear me talking about ClickBank.

There was a point of time I avoided ClickBank because I hate waiting for checks to be cleared. I live in Singapore and it takes about 2 weeks for the check to arrive and another 4 – 6 weeks for them be cleared. Not that I am impatient but it was bad for cash flow since I pay for most of my traffic.

Since ClickBank started to pay through direct deposit, I focused my attention back on it again. In fact, I even moved 1 of my niche membership site to ClickBank. It is not the perfect affiliate network, however, learning to work with it has paid off very well.

Conversions And Tracking

List building is really important, at least for most information-based niches. Conversion rates must be tracked properly so that you can know if you are profitable. Be prepared to discover some elements that can really improve your conversion rates. Your cost per lead and cost per sale can be cut down as well.

Product Reviews

Most of my affiliate presell sites are usually a bunch of comprehensive product reviews. They convert really well for me and over time, I have grown to enjoy writing product reviews. Unlike most people who review products just for a commission, I do it to educate and inform you so you can make a better decision.

My reviews are usually more unbiased and accurate because….. I read the ebook, watch the video or use the software before reading the salesletter so that I will not be distracted by the sizzle of the sales message.

Product Types

First of all, I will NEVER promote anything that I personally do not believe in! No unethical products, no spamming products, no network marketing related stuff.

You will never see me promote stuff like those ready-made sites or content where all everyone gets the same thing. Imagine many people having the exact same site or content, where is the USP? (Unique Selling Preposition)

Many times, you will see people trying to sell you stuff like those business-in-a-box….. none of it works. What you need is to develop your own USP even if you are an affiliate.

Think about what makes you unique compared to your competitors and turn that into an advantage or a benefit that people can see. Once you do that, not only more people will want to buy from you, your competitors will have a hard time trying to knock you off.

Personally, I like the finer things in life and I always find myself leaning towards more refined things rather than just anything thrown together just to make a quick buck. Do you also feel the same way?

I definitely appreciate well-researched and well-produced products or services where we as the customers really experience that spirit of excellence. Every time I see such a product, I will recommend it.

Opinions And Decisions

I am blessed that I always get a review copy of new products before they are officially launched, sometimes months in advance. Remember that reviews are merely my personal opinion, the decision to buy or not to buy is ultimately yours.

Many times, I get to test the methods in new ebooks so that I know how well they work. At times, when I highly recommend a particular product, I would sweeten the pot by offering my own bonus. They are usually short and straight to the point reports which you cannot find anywhere else.

Your Take Away

Even when you choose not to buy what I recommend, the reviews will be written in such a way that when you read it, you can at least take away some good ideas which you can implement in your business.

When that happens, email me and share your good results with me. With such a negative world, I actually love hearing good news! If you do much better than me, I will be really proud of you, no jealously here. I may even want to do a case study with you as the main character.

What NOT To Expect And Why

Other than blog posts, you will rarely get additional free advice from me. This is only to be fair to customers and clients who are already paying me.

However, if you post a comment on any blog posts, you will get replies. When you email me with simple or specific questions, those that takes me a short paragraph to answer, I will surely reply you.

On the other hand if you ask very general or very personal questions, I might not be able to help.

Want More?

Maybe you really need very specific help, you can request a quote for a session of consultation. Fees can vary depending on topic and duration. Of course, fees can vary depending on the demand for my time.

Sometimes, if the help you need is really beyond me, I cannot take your money because I may not be able to help. I promise to be straight forward and upfront with you, no hidden fees for sure.

Important note: This post was not meant to sell you consultation! I really prefer to be behind the scenes, working on my business. Usually, working on the traffic conversion and sales optimization.

Hope you will enjoy being on this email list. Not just for the first few weeks but for a long long time…..

Enjoy…..
