Course on blogging – might be free for you

Posted by Britt Malka | Blogs | Friday 21 December 2007 11:53 am

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

I just love the reasoning behind this promo ;-) Go and check it out!

Often, we are so busy trying to make money that we tend to forget that saving money on many occasions is better. Peazyshop is not only about making money, but it’s a money saving blog. This is a sponsored review of Peazyshop.

No second mail ANY day!

Posted by Henrik Blunck (admin) | Cooperative Competition, Your Own Business | Wednesday 19 December 2007 12:56 am

Everyone should carefully consider pros and cons before pressing the “Send” button. However, these last few weeks there has also been a tendency to send people a second mail.

Especially a mail with only one extra link and then a repetition of most of the first e-mail…. Is it any wonder people are unsubscribing from such a list? I know I do, and I don’t believe I am the only one to be truly enervated by the carelessness involved just because it’s virtually free to post to an entire list.

Dear marketers out there, stay alert. Keep a professional attitude towards things. Begin working with your lists with the respect it deserves. THAT will be the day when you begin earning money from your list instead of destroying it.

Why All The Fuss About PPC-rates?

Posted by Henrik Blunck (admin) | Blogging, E-books, Google AdSense, Your Own Business, free stuff | Monday 17 December 2007 2:37 am

Don’t fall for all the mails currently circulating about how poor rates people seem to be getting. Some have created trashy sites, and as a result of it are being penalized with poor performance. Here’s how some of it works.

Analysis Analysis and More Analysis

All big advertising companies check out performance on click-throughs. They would be stupid if they didn’t, because part of branding and selling professional solutions is documenting that people you reach are qualified potential customers. The better results the higher the cents per view and the higher the cents per click. That would be common logic for anyone.

Nonetheless, some are spreading the rumour as though services like Google were robbing you, totally neglecting to mention that some of these internet wannabe-gurus have created all sorts of walkabouts to do as little work as possible, yet turning in large amounts because of short-term good SEO.

Short-term Never Works!

You can never beat the effects of SUPREME content. Having the best content works, whereas short-term considerations never work. Read that again. Short-term considerations NEVER work. Don’t ever fall for all the tempting “techniques” of get-rich-quick where you can earn a fortune without doing any work.

Listen to those who are positive about this, just like myself. Earnings are increasing as are indeed visitors. More people are reading the blogs, watching podcasts etc. I am – obviously – happy about that. I see no reason to blame others for one’s failures. In fact we Danes have an amusing saying: “Only a bad worker blames his tools”, indeed signifying that our results depend very much upon our own creativity and ability to use the tools we put in our hands. Not being able to handle such isn’t a bad thing, but you must just realize when you’re having problems and listen to those who offer you some expertise to bring you forward.

Good luck, and remember: Carpe diem. :-)

Beware of Idetrorce

Posted by Henrik Blunck (admin) | Setting up your blog, security issues | Sunday 16 December 2007 11:29 am

There is a terrible tendency that has begun. Some are deliberately seeking to destroy blogs. They begin as the following message, and end up being real SOBs doing a lot of pain in the backside damage to your blogging experience.

The message that made me curious was this one, which first appeared on an English then on a Danish blog:


Idetrorce (IP: 208.72.124.5)
His message is: “very interesting, but I don’t agree with you
Idetrorce”

The fact is that only very few make such short comments. They usually motivate their comments, and although I don’t mean this to become, in any shape way or form, a “manual” for those bent on using information destructively, I do think it worth noting people like this so other users are aware of this.

The problem is:

  • Many have setup their blogs so that you are automatically allowed to post directly once one or two posts have been approved. Once in WordPress, and others have similar or different options. For most blogs this will work well if you are mindful of what you let through when you moderate comments.
  • Some have omitted setting an e-mail adress for notifications. I will write more on changing settings, but you should check the information e-mails that will arrive when there are comments to your blog. Be aware, also, that there are countries where you are responsible for the comments you allow on your blog. Unless you specifically have a disclaimer for this, you can be penalized.

So I will help you be more effective. The first thing you can do is look at the “Comments” menu in the top menu on your Dashboard and read through the comments that are already on your blog. :-)

Others have had similar problems as you can read here: http://www.bigdadgib.net/2007/12/15/very-interesting-but-i-dont-agree-with-you/

Think, Think and Think Again

Posted by Henrik Blunck (admin) | Affiliate Marketing, Blogging, E-books, Your Own Business | Thursday 13 December 2007 8:41 pm

It is always a good idea to think before you speak. The same goes when writting to your list. Ask yourself some key questions before you decide to write:

  • Will my list benefit from this?
  • Would I appreciate the information if I were the recipient
  • Is the content new and fresh?
  • Have you added an extra benefit for those who might already have heard of your product?

Will my list benefit from this?

You will no doubt already have noticed that I combined the first two points into this one point. There is absolutely no doubt that you need to place yourself (mentally) on the receiving end of your e-mail in order for your campaign to be succesful.

Noone enjoys receiving information that is either outdated or irrelevant. People talk of building their list, but they should be building listS instead – not one, but many lists.

“Why many lists?” you may be thinking. Stay tuned. There is a very good reason for it.
Let’s say you’re dealing with online marketing (in general), e-books on speaking and conference techniques and you also hold conferences. Some would have one list and wouldn’t think more about it. That would be a BIG mistake. List building should also be concerned about RELEVANCE. Some things ARE RELEVANT for your recipients, but others might not be.

As you have no doubt guessed I am a member of numerous lists. I was a member of many more, but when I discovered who the ones were that generated e-mails about the exact same products the number of mails diminished considerably. It is, however, apparently a trend that goes in circles because either SOMEONE among the lists I am on is selling his/her lists or at least sharing lists with others.

I would never sell my list(s). They are developed through blood, sweat and tears. They represent a fair value, especially given the fact that some of the lists contain BUYERS. Buyers can be second and third time customers, and that’s why they should be considered with respect.

Is the content new and fresh?

There is no need to announce something that will soon expire. I know many of you fellow marketers will also check your inboxes numerous times each day, but you can rest assured that only very few people are that effective. If the product expires within 24 hours you should also consider time zones. If you have a list that is divided into geographic zones you could run a script that could give you a variable from which you can sort the ones that are relevant for your message.

The lazy ones could just calculate the time from you press the “Send” button and thus leave it up to your recipients to calculate the rest. But either people make mistakes in calculation or they simply give up. But you get the drift. Be relevant and be on time with fresh content.

Have you added an extra benefit for those who might already have heard of your product?

Here’s the professional twist I haven’t seen all that much around. When has a marketer announced a product and then told you about an extra product if you already knew about the first product he or she announced?

Right? You bet! It’s innovative. That should have been “elementary, my dear Watson”, but often the elementary things are overlooked.

Go for it. If your news is relevant, fresh, innovative and beneficial to the recipients on your list, you should have a pretty good chance at making a decent income.
Carpe diem. :-)

Give Yourself a Website Facelift – and earn money…

You Deserve a Facelift For Your Online Business

  • Are you still improving the way you do your online business?
  • Or are you satisfied with the way your online income has given you?
  • Do you have what it takes to be excellent and be on the cutting edge?

There are a lot of important factors that makes one website sells one copy or hundreds of copies. The difference is especially this: what can YOU do to get higher response from people that visit YOUR site?

Some marketers have tried hiring a better copywriter than the person they used previously. Some have even changed the product, added bonuses but have you ever considered the impact that a facelift could have on your online business?

I have seen some people put far too much information on their website and neglecting the fact that people will buy tangible thing. Research shows that people who buy online are far more willing – and tempted – to buy if they can see the looks of the product before they swipe their credit card.

Online, the best business product is still digital in nature. Some think this is creating a product from nothing, but the know-how behind what works and impacts your visitors’ buying decisions should be of primary interest to you. Have I got your attention?

Will Likely Be Your Best Investment

A facelift for your online business can dramatically improve the way you do your business. This isn’t just sales talk, but a fact. Facelifts help your visitors pay more attention to the content of your website.

If you really need to change the status of your online business, I would personally recommend such a facelift. It’s much easier than many think to implement, yet far more effective in both short and long term results.

A very experienced marketer, Dee Ferdinand, and his fellow designers are coming with this special introductory package that will no doubt amaze you. :) They have compiled an entire package of headers for your business. Any graphics designer (even in India) will charge you anything from U$17 to U$47 per design. That’s why this package is a real bargain.


Why not see for yourself?

Better Conversion Rates

I know how important it is to launch your website the right way the first time your visitors arrive on your website, especially when you have a GREAT and high conversion product.

A large number of people who have implemented graphics similar to this package have sold hundreds of products within the first week of their product launch. The sales page also describes how successful the guys at www.crushyourjob.com have been with their $5 and $7 products. Other succesful marketeers have been James Brown and his www.SleepAndProfit.com website – and others have been succesful in using graphics for their e-book front covers, such as www.SalesPotion.com.

These two chaps continue to create more websites, and one thing that could never be denied: they have implemented the same success formula in making their websites absolute bestsellers within weeks. You may have guessed it already, but the one major ingredient they never overlook is to give their websites a facelift.

Do not wait or procrastinate. Take action before you forget.


Now is the time to go straight to:

Amazing Low Price for Highly Effective Product

Dee and his designer team have just released the package “50 Quick Snap Headers” Even at $200 it would have been an amazing package, but you can in fact secure your copy of the 50 header collection for a price that is well under US$100.
If you have ever searched for quality graphics, this package will bring cash into your pockets. And even when the first header begins to earn you money in your niche, you have yet another 49 headers to continue on your path to success.

This IS a sales champion package which will bring that amazing facelift to your website and your online business you have been looking for.

Don’t wait. Don’t leave money on the table. Give yourself that well deserved facelife for your website.

Carpe diem. :-)
