The one thing
in common with all of the successful people I have known is the ability to
focus. It is probably the KEY to being
successful marketing on the internet.
It is also the
absolute hardest thing to do for the average marketer. I know that lack of focus
at times has put me at least a year behind where I should be on my marketing
efforts.
If you market
using free or low cost methods regardless of which way or the product that you
market you are consistently bombarded with a variety of ads for an easier,
better, guaranteed way to get rich. This causes you to always be changing horses
in midstream ( a sure way to get wet:-). After all the two hours I spent
promoting the last program hasn’t gotten me rich so this new one must be the one
that will retire me.
The very first
thing you have to do is decide where you want to go. After all if you don’t know
where you are going the odds are real slim that you will get there. For most of
us that will be as an affiliate of a program at least to start with. It is how I
do it and most successful people ,even the program owners, use affiliate
programs for additional income.
If this is the
way you decide to go make sure that you avoid the biggest mistake. Learn to
focus on the primary thing it takes to be successful. Promote YOU.
Everything you
do to market any program ask the question “How can this promote me?” There are
lots of ways to do this but if you grasp the concept that everything revolves
around promoting you and that becomes your focus then you will be amazed at how
things change for the better.
As long as you
and your business are the focus of your marketing efforts good things will
happen for you.

Whats in the news?
There will be a new ebook on using traffic exchanges launching on
Tuesday. It is written by people that actually use the traffic exchanges
to make money and not just some rehashed garbage about just build downlines
etc. The people who have contributed to this ebook all use traffic
exchanges on a regular basis SUCCESSFULLY. It is a true
how to from people who have actually done it. If you want to be one of the
first notified click here and leave
your name and emaill address. You will only receive information on this
book and nothing else ever again as the autoresponder will be deleted after the
launch.
If you have not gotten Allen Says new ebook go and buy it
today. I don't sell it and still feel it is that important that you should
read it. I have read it twice, have it on my desktop and also have
notes in my calendar to reread it at least every 3 months. It is that
good.
Program Updates
Profit
Rally
Continues to grow nicely. A great program to get prospects
into your sales funnel and build downlines in the various traffic exchanges at
the same time. Lots of tools that you need like tracker links, url rotator
and much more. Look for some new things coming here for the fall. There
will be more emphasis coming on support with regularly scheduled seminars in
their conference room given by Axel (owner), Jon Olson (I Love Hits), myself and others
to be announced. My first seminar there will be next Friday 1pm. Click here for more
information.
Kiosk
Joel continues to improve things and support there remains first
rate. There will be a nerw product coming shortly for building first rate
websites even if you don't know any html. More on this when it is finally
announced but I have beta tested it and am impressed. Hot Conference will continue to
be available for the first month for $1. This software has improved so
much in the last few months and new features are being added regularly.
Consider the other products available for platinum members to sell such as
Downtime Witness and the affiliate software and this continues to be a nice
revenue source.
Empowerism
Not much new but still some of the best training available with a
nice stable of tools.
Niche site tools
Niche sites have always been the
key to ongoing income. The problem most people have is that unlike some
affiliate marketing where you can get a return immediately here you are building
something that will take a while to pay off for you. The difference is
that once this starts to pay off even though you had to wait for it to happen it
will continue to pay without a lot of further effort. Try that with your
affiliate marketing efforts. Personally, I probably spend half of my
effort on these types of projects and as they start to pay off will probably
focus in this direction even more. Below are some of the tools I have
found to be extremely helpful in allowing me to develop multiple sites at
once.
Infogoround - This is a private
label article site. You may use any of the articles as your content and
put your name on it. They have excellent articles and i have used them on
5 of my 9 sites in just the past month. You can even pair them with an
account at Blogger and create a niche site without having to worry about hosting
or even knowing how to use html. Currently there are over 300 articles and
they are adding a minimum of 100 more each month.
Click Spy - This program gets
loaded right on your server and will actually track exactly which pages are
getting clicks for you. I use it daily to find out which pages are drawing
clicks to the affiliate links and just load it on one site and you can track all
of your sites. Definitely has already paid for itself just in the increase
of adsense revenue.
Thats all for this month and feel free
to contact me with comments or if I can help you in any way.
Have a great month and thank you for being a subscriber.
