God’s Word = The Next Big Thing In Affiliate Marketing?

Disclaimer: this post has something to do with Religion and the Bible… if you are uncomfortable with the content (my apologies), you may wish to leave this site, else do enjoy how God’s Word can help you with your affiliate marketing business.

The Nature Of The Affiliate Marketing Business

Affiliate Marketing can have its ups and downs at times.

When the time is good, you get to see lots of traffic to your site and lots of commission going into your bank account; When the time is bad, you grumbled and started to say all the negative things to yourself and you start to turn to professional internet marketing services (ebooks, mentoring) for better guidance and inspirations to help you in your affiliate marketing business. You are doing this with the hope that things will turn out better!

What If God Is An Internet Marketer?

The Bible - courtesy of sxc.hu

If God is an internet marketer today, God’s Word (The Bible) will be the all-time top selling product and the affiliate marketers can be sure that they will stand to profit much! God will be the mentor that you can turn to for all the online marketing advice.

Why Is That So?

If you have a Bible with you right now, I will be doing some reference to some of the Bible verses, that can be quite relevant to the nature of our online business. How you will be reading in the following lines will be:

• The normal stuff you’ll say to yourself when times are bad and are going against you!
• What is the advice that God will give to you?
• Where to refer to, in your bible, for that actual advice!

Are You Ready? Let’s go!

What Is Ed Dale’s Thirty Day Challenge All About?

Take Part In Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge! It's Free!

I first got to know about this challenge back in the late 2007 and took part in some of the trainings. I am a bad, bad student though as I only took a small part of the training seriously. But… I did make more than the $10, in some affiliate sales using some of the techniques being shared by Ed Dale.

This training course, I can say, is that it’s ahead of the marketing trend. What this means is that, Ed Dale and his gang are able to pick out the soon-to-be-popular online resources, bring it to good use and when the online community starts picking up, you are already way ahead.

For example, back in 2007, he introduced Twitter to us all and back then, nobody take Twitter seriously, the community there is small, everybody is just micro-blogging their daily stuff and the big-guns are not even awared of it. Now in 2008, you can see John Chow and Shoemoney twittering away everyday.

Now in 2008, Ed Dale is fulling utilizing Twitter and also introducing a whole new resource: Market Samurai created by the Noble Samurai team.

The training provided is fully provided with all the videos and transcripts so they are easy on newbie affiliate marketers. You can download them, digest them slowly and bring it to good use.

Are You Ready To Outsource Your Business For Real Freedom?

Are You Ready To Outsource Your Online Business?

I have just finished reading Timothy Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek and it’s really a good read. This book has also been highly recommended by John Chow in his previous post (quite some time back).

This book really opened me up in the sense that if you are really keen in being your own boss, you do not have to feel more trapped like many other “bosses” out there, and to really enjoy real freedom of having all the time to yourself, have many vacations, do whatever you wish and yet do not have to worry about the lack of money – this can be a reality!

One of the tips being shared in The 4-Hour Workweek of breaking free is that to outsource your business out to professionals like:

• If you are running a Retail Business, you can actually have a distribution center to take care of orders, process credit cards, take care of inventory, and delivery for just a fraction of your profit.
• If you are into full-time blogging, you can hire ghost writers to write articles or create your info-products for you, by sharing the profits or a fee.

And since most of my readers, that includes you, are into online business and are interested to earn money out of your online marketing efforts, we try to focus a bit more of “how and what to outsource” for your online business in this post.

As I was researching for some information to be provided here, I came across some useful tips on what I needed to finish this post, as provided by none other than Jimmy D. Brown.

These are some useful tips that Jimmy D. Brown and Nicole Dean shared…

First and foremost, start by taking a good look at your online business and get your goals and priorities straight and you do not have to worry as it’s not nearly as complicated as it sounds.

What you can do for now is to grab a pen and a piece of paper or open your favorite word processor and divide your page into four columns and you’re ready to brainstorm.

On that piece of paper or word document – write everything down as it comes to your mind. Don’t think too much or crack your mind wide open on this. Just start writing whatever that comes to your mind.

Next, figure out what is working. Whatever it is.

It may be one of your websites, your ecourses, a joint venture, a certain marketing method.

Where is the bulk of your profit coming from, currently? (If there is none as yet, where do you believe will be the place where the largest profits will come from – you do not have to be really precised). Write those items in column #1 under: “Do More”.

Thirdly, figure out what is not bringing in money. Is it hanging out on forums or posting classified ads to freebie sites? Is it endlessly checking your stats, or email?  What are your daily time-suckers? Write those under column #2: “Do less”.

Then, figure out what could work better. Do you have upsells in place? Are your websites designed to bring you cash from every visitor? Make your list of ideas in column #3: “Improvements”. (If you don’t know yet, don’t worry. There are plenty of ways to improve your business as you learn and grow.)

Fifth, figure out what can be automated. Which tasks are repetitive and boring, albeit necessary? Many of those types of tasks can be automated with simple tools. For instance, if you’re submitting articles to directories by hand, there are tools and services to do that for you. Add these to column #4: “Automation”.

Now that you’re armed with your list, it’s time to get to work on your outsourcing.

Look at your list in Column #1: “Do More”. Those are the tasks that you should focus your energies on. It’s a good idea to tackle one or two of the tasks on that list first thing in the morning – every morning. It’s much more productive than checking out your favorite blogs or logging into twitter. And you’ll be amazed at how much you can get done quickly when your mind is fresh.

Look at your list in Column #2: “Do Less”. These activities should be forbidden until after you have gotten your #1 list done, if you do them at all. For instance, hanging out on Twitter is fun, but do not do it until everything in column #1 is finished for the day.

Now, go back to Column #1, 3, and 4 which are your “Do More”, “Improvements”, and “Automation” lists.

Look at all of the items that are on those three lists. Now, circle each task that you…

• Can’t Do On Your Own
• Don’t Have Time to On Do Your Own
• Don’t Want To Do On Your Own

Those are the tasks that you’ll need to or ought to start outsourcing.

I hope with the above tips as shared by Jimmy D. Brown and Nicole Dean, you can now start to prepare a list of tasks to be outsources and set your business on automation and achieve real freedom. Real Freedom means a lot of things and it means freedom to do the things that you want to do for your own and your family.

I have prepared a file for you to start recording. Just Right-Click and Choose “Save as…” on this link (.pdf file)

If you are interested in the area of outsource but don’t know where to start?

Nicole Dean and Jimmy D. Brown are inviting you to http://www.OutsourceWeekly.com where you’ll learn how you can get free time and earn more money while others run your business for you.

A Deeper Look Into Jimmy D Brown’s Six Figure Formula

Good to be back from my very first time Army Reservist Training (2 weeks long).

Are You Networking Today For Your Online Business?

One good thing that I have learned to appreciate from this training, despite the fact that I am locked out from the outside world, is the networking chances you can get with new strangers.

Seems like there is a growing trend of Internet marketers now and I happened to know one – he preferred to remain low profile and quietly earns his “pocket money” from the internet.

When I started this blog with an aim to promote affiliate products, seem like this “friend” of mine is already doing so – illegal and legal ways and making better money as we are speaking.

All About Jimmy D. Brown

When I spoke to him about Jimmy D. Brown, seems like he knew much about him and was commenting that he started his online marketing partly based on what Jimmy D. Brown has taught in his Six Figure Formula E-coaching.

Out of good will and also because of my constant pestering, I begged him to let me peep into one (just one) of his teaching material. He agreed to let me have a copy of the first lesson.

I got hold of the First Lesson and was quite shocked to find that the material is since 2006 (two years old material) but still applicable in today’s context.

Formulate A Strategy

In the First Lesson of the Jimmy D. Brown’s Six Figure Formula, the key to getting started is to formulate a strategy. One of the rave reviews for Jimmy D. Brown is that he makes his training easy to follow. I must agree on that. He divides his materials into three parts:

Building Blocks -> Core Concept -> Assignments

Building Blocks

Ongoing with the training. He challenges you and me to analyze our real need which is “what do we think we need in order to make money online?” He then offers his own answers which really make sense and worth gold.

If you have bought many materials out in the market sharing that to make money online is to look for niches – Jimmy D. Brown begs to differ and give you his preference. Next, you get 3 Simple Rules for choosing a market.

Core Concept

The next challenge is to ask yourself: “in order to make as much money as you want, what three things do you need to get it done?” Do not worry, you don’t have to scratch your head on this, you are provided with Jimmy’s tips. Also, if you want to learn how to be productive in your daily tasks and achieve the same success as Jimmy D. Brown, this is the part you have to take note.

Why? This section actually shows Jimmy D. Brown’s daily schedule behind his “3 hours each day” online success.

You’ll also get 3 keys that can help you and me to make money with the least amount of effort. Think of being lazy but yet making money!

Then finally get 5 ways to make the most of your time which also means being efficient.

Assignment

At this juncture of reading that lesson, I can say that I started to have a heating passion to follow exactly what is being shared in that very first lesson. What is being shared seems easy to follow, applicable and achievable.

With all the teachings in place, the final thing to concentrate and put what is being learned to practice is to do the assignments.

If you are into this 4 weeks e-coaching, one good deal is being able to email your assignments to Jimmy D. Brown and have him to give you some good suggestions on how to improve. Worth your investment!

A Summary of What Is Being Shared in Jimmy D. Brown’s Week 1 of 4 Six Figure Formula E-coaching:

• Formulate A Strategy
• Ask yourself: “what do we think we need in order to make money online?”
• Know the 3 Simple Rules for choosing a market.

Good Reviews On Jimmy D Brown’s Six Figure Forumla

Been a cool six days of no posting here. Sorry for that. I was being called back to serve the army and was only able to have two days of resting time today and tomorrow (due to Singapore’s 43th Birthday Holiday). The next I am able to post anything here will be after the 20th August.

That’s just a short notice.

My Personal Recommendation

My personal recommendation is like this is the kind of deal that is really worth your investment, as a proud affiliate of Jimmy D. Brown, most of my sales are from his range of products and services – the refund rates are low which means many are happy with with Jimmy D. Brown is offering.

But… If you’re not 100% satisfied for whatever reason with Six Figure Formula, let Jimmy D. Brown know before the 3rd week of the e-coaching begins and you can get an immediate, no hassle refund. That’s right, even if after you’ve completed half the lessons, and you’re not completely happy with the e-coaching, just email him, and he’ll give your money back.

If you like to have your own successful online business, a good system in place and make better money like Jimmy D. Brown, take on the “Six Figure Formula” 4-week e-coaching class, which begins on this coming Monday, 11 August.

Spice Up Your Twittering with…

Have been observing some of the Gurus – Ed Dale and Alvin Phang for instance, on my twitter account…

Seems like they are using a few evil-in-making tools to help spice up their twittering experience.

Let me be your spy… and see what they are using. It’s time to bookmark them if need be. Are you ready?

1. http://twitterfeed.com – Provide them with the URL for your blog’s RSS feed, and how often they should post to twitter. Seems good if you are promoting an affiliate link. (a standalone service)
2. http://www.alertthingy.com – as claimed. It’s a desktop app for FriendFeed.com (what’s that?). Seems to work well with Twitter and Flickr with FriendFeed.com as the main core of attention. (could this be a new plot for world domination? – Ed Dale is using a lot of this to post to Twitter…)
3. http://www.seesmic.com – as claimed, it’s a so-called dashboard for your videos. Still in alpha stage. Another evil plot in the making…
4. http://www.twittergram.com – designed to work like a telegram service but Twitter style. Comes with MP3 uploading service. Will somebody sing me a “sexy nurse voice” birthday song?
5. Twitter Tools – a wordpress plugin designed by Alexking. As explained… This plugin creates an integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account. Pull your tweets into your blog and create new tweets on blog posts and from within WordPress.

Are You Twittering Today?

The latest craze or “in-thing” on the internet would be “What are you twittering today?”

Just to share a bit of my twittering background, was that I learn about Twitter from Ed Dale in the Thirty Day Challenge.

I, and many others should, must really give credit to Ed Dale because if many do not know… way before Twitter is spreading like wild fire – he was already promoting the idea of twittering in the famous 30-Day Challenge and has made a claim that this would be the next thing. So look what has happened now.

Watch the video Ed Dale has created back in September’07 entitled  “The Tao of Twitter”

Give you a joke of what happened to me, when I first created my Twitter account – I do not know what to put on it… but the site gave a brief description – “twitter anything about you…” I created my first post of “Having very bad tummy ache, in the toilet now” – that very post got my account banned…

I have managed to get my twitter account back and before getting serious into it, I am currently following a few Gurus on their daily venture – Joe “Mr. Fire” Vitale, Ed Dale, and Mike Filsaime.

So what’s the idea behind twittering as shared by Joe “Mr. Fire” Vitale…

If you go to http://www.twitter.com and log in or create an account, you can follow me around in real time in an acceptable, polite, educational, non-stalker sorta way.

In short, I will “Twitter” what I am doing throughout my day — often right from my mobile phone as I’m doing it — and you can follow my path.

And if you poke around twitter.com, you’ll find more interesting people you can follow, too.

Some of the notables you’ll find there may surprise you.

Why care?

Several reasons, but here’s a good one –

You can learn what people you admire (or are just curious about) are doing, reading, writing, learning, promoting, discovering, eating, watching, etc.

Obviously, this can be a priceless education.

One good thing that I should add on top of Joe Vitale’s sharing is that, this can be one good gauge of your expertise (or your position as a expert in your niche) – if more people are following you, you are slowly becoming an expert – making money online is becoming simpler.

So get your hands dirty with Twitter today!

Review: Jimmy D Brown’s Easy Coach Pro (A PHP Script)

Are you a Successful Internet Marketer?

Yes! Congrats! No? Work hard on it and you will definitely be successful!

The Biggest Frustrations of being an Internet Marketer?

If you are in this industry long enough, you, as either an amateur or experienced marketer… One of the biggest frustrations you will start to face is that you have to sell thousands of $10-$20 ebooks each year in order to make a full-time living online. The logistics can be pretty daunting.

Of course with any problem, there is always a solution and there are a few usual ways (widely practiced by most marketers) to get over this obstacle.

1. Reach out to more people. (Get more customers.)
2. Write more ebooks. (Offer more low end products.)
3. Or simply… Offer a higher-end product or service that your existing customers can pay more for. (Charge more for… something.)

Many marketers actually flinch at the third option. The thought of putting together a huge course or a big DVD package that they can sell for $100 or more sounds like a ton of work. (unless you have made enough to have your own marketing and development team – this will be a good enough choice)

However, in Jimmy D. Brown’s usual easy-way-out, he’s found a way to help marketers like you to earn more with their EXISTING business.

Don’t worry – y0u do not have to go through the usual process of setting up a new website, with payment processors, sales copy. You know the deal. You can just add this to your current business and multiply your income immediately.
