Here’s how you can get the most out of a program called Free Monthly Websites.

http://www.freemonthlywebsites2.com/?go=29152

Free Monthly Websites, in my opinion is one of those programs you either know what to do with or you don’t. I will now show you how you can get the most of it and why Free Monthly Websites is such great tool which can earn you an extra income stream to your business for a long time to come.

The Three main categories we need to concentrate on here are:

1, Selling eBooks

2, Writing articles

3, Affiliate promotions

When you first login and download your website follow the tutorials which is very easy to do and eventually get your website onto your webspace. You are presented with a very nice well designed Adsense website.

What can you do with this free website? Well to be honest the free website has duplicate content so you can rule out getting to the top of the search engine rankings, the premier websites are a different kettle of fish all together but I will get to those in a moment.

Take option 1 above ‘Selling eBooks’ if you sell eBooks especially PLR (private Label Content) conversions, you will find Free Monthly Websites have a rather large verity of websites that correspond with a lot of the PLR out there (if you are a premier member you get a bonus PLR eBook). All you need to do is upload your eBook to a convenient location on your webspace and place a few corresponding links inside your PLR eBook for example:

I have a weight loss eBook and a small paragraph saying “there are 100’s ways to lose weight which can be found in various forms from Books to television to fitness programs bla bla bla” you could not take this small paragraph and insert your Free Monthly Websites website link in a prime location for instance “there are 100’s ways to lose weight which can be found in various forms from Books to television to fitness programs the best resource I found is at www.yourfreemonthlywebsites.com/fitness_website”
Now imagine you done this to all your eBooks! Simply take a little time upload your Free Monthly Websites website to your webspace then reopen your PLR eBooks and insert the relevant hyperlink which corresponds to your website and there you have it. For about 2 hours work you have created an income stream for life. Now imagine you have 50 PLR eBooks doing the rounds on eBay or your blog. Your AdSense revenue is going to creep up and up until you are earning a very respectable income. It’s a simple case of wash rinse repeat.

Option number 2 is even easier. I know most of you will at some point, or do write articles and submit them to relevant article directories. Well why not try writing an article about one of the subjects related to Free Monthly Websites? Upload your website to a location on your webspace, place the link in your article and there you have it, submit to article directories like:

http://www.articledashboard.com/

http://www.articlebasement.com/

http://ezinearticles.com/

http://www.goarticles.com/

And another income stream will start.

The third option is a little different. Using your Free Monthly Websites affiliate link to promote the website and earn a potential 98.50 per referral. You can place your link in the websites provided for you and in the eBooks you sell and articles you write this can generate a missive earnings income of 98.50.

So with your website up on your webspace and your eBook on eBay and your articles in the article directories, you will be well on your way to earning a nice income from a free resource.

I mentioned earlier your Premier Members website. These are a fantastic resource and are worth every penny for the simple fact you receive a private label eBook and 20 articles with every Premier Membership website every month. Not only can you use the eBooks and articles in the ways I have explained, you can key word optimize your website for the search engines, change the content and make your sites as original as you like. In other words you have full edit rights. So if you imagine directing a visitor to your Premier Website via an eBook or article, they will find a fully edited site with offers and affiliate links promotions, and even an Aweber signup box (which you can integrate with a little HTML knowledge) which in turn will create more revenue and more subscribers for you.

My recommendations are if you have a few hours to spare get started with this and you will soon see a Google AdSense income. If you use the Premier Websites, you can place affiliate banners, Clickbank affiliate links and Aweber signup box on your site as well as edit all your own content via an easy edit control panel..

If you are going to move into this business, I recommend you take the Full Premier Websites Access!

Thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed my review.

Internet Marketing can  be one of the most rewarding careers, but it can equally be the most frustrating. Statistics state that only 5% of Internet Marketers actually make it, and when I say “make it” I’m referring to the goals set by the Marketer themselves. Not everyone’s goal is to become a Millionaire, but some have had more modest goals like being able to give up a fulltime job or their partner being able to quit the rat race. Becoming a successful Internet Marketer means different things too many people, just having an extra $100-500 a month to most would make the world of difference to their life’s.

But what happens when the going gets rough?, Your marketing is getting you nowhere after months of effort your email list includes only a bunch of people, most of which are a few friends/family and you!. At this point a lot of marketers start to lose interest and start looking at the next new shiny product being talked up by some ‘Guru’ in their inbox.

Focus shifts to something else and before you know it your mindset is set to negative mode and your on the “Internet-Marketing-is-a-Scam” brigade!.

The secret to success in Internet Marketing is not:-

• The Product you’ve created or Promoting
• The List you’ve built
• How Good or Ugly your Website / Capture page is
• how many networking events you have attended
• how much money you have spent on seminars & products

Only you can make this work, your mindset is the most important factor, and a key ingredient to the success or failure of your Internet Marketing Business.

so working all the above along with working on your self development is very important. I’m glad that I realised this at an early stage within my business and work regularly on my self development (SD) plan which breaks down into these categories:-

• Reading & Listening to SD leaders e.g Robert Kiyosaki, Anthony Robbins, Robert Allen
• Converse with other like minded people via, networking, seminars & online communities
• Subscribe to blogs (like this one) and newsletters that talk about Self Development and wealth building strategies.

Affiliate marketing really is a great way to earn money online, therefore attracts a huge following. A newbie to Internet Marketing can sometimes have a lot to learn before they start to see a return on the time or money they invest into their business.

The focal point of affiliate marketing, or of any business enterprise for that matter, is the product. No exchange ever happens if there is no product involved. For those who are new to affiliate marketing, choosing a product to promote might make their head spin like crazy.

Here a few tips for new starters to the IM world, also you more experienced marketers may also learn a new trick or two!.

Choose a product you believe in – many times I see marketers promoting products they themselves have not even tried or used personally. Remember you are promoting to your list, who you are also trying to build a relationship with. The best way to do this is to show knowledge, passion  & interest in the product. You want your list too see that if It’s good enough  and working for you, then it will be a good fit for them also.

Choose a Proven Product – So you’ve found a product that’s popular and your thinking to yourself “Shall I really, promote this to my list?, it seems its being promoted by everyone right now!” – The reason is because its SELLING!.

Ever seen a High Street with more than one Fish & Chip shop close to each over, and wondered why? – HIGH DEMAND!

ASK Your List! - If you have built a list that you have or are building a relation with, ask them the question – What are they struggling with in their business?, what tools/information or guidance do they want from you, then SUPPLY THEIR DEMANDS!.

However, if you are a new affiliate marketer just starting out, and, well, still confused on the specifics of the product you would like to promote, you might want to  JOIN A INTERNET MARKETING NETWORK. the network which I belong to, SIX FIGURE MENTORS NETWORK has ALL the tools, products and video training you will need to get started.

On Saturday, the wife and I went to the London Technology Show held at The Excel Centre in London. It was a surprise for me as it was my wife who suggested we go!. She’s not as much into Tech as I am although she works in the industry.

To me the event was more to do with gaming more than anything else, anyway below is a quick video re-cap of what I saw there:-

Affiliate Marketing Leads

Once you go into affiliate marketing, you will find that one of the key concerns you will have to focus on is building your leads. Leads often come in the form of e-mail addresses, behind which are real people with very real potential to become your customers, subscribers or members. Having a solid list of leads is assurance that you will be capable of reaching a ready market and generating income from there.

The importance of affiliate marketing leads

Companies with a product or service to sell spend billions of dollars on advertising alone. That’s right billions!. The purpose of spending such a huge amount of cash is mainly to build buzz about a product, expand the market and ultimately, bring in better sales.

In affiliate marketing, the cost of advertising is comparatively small and is paid for by the affiliate company. So as an affiliate, that is no longer your concern. Your only job is to look for a market to promote to that will respond to you positively so you can earn an income in return.

Unlike in a real world business, this market will come in the form of affiliate marketing leads. The quality of these leads, along with the type and number of positive responses they offer will determine whether or not you’ll succeed in affiliate marketing. If you hear someone say, ‘the money is in the list’, he or she is actually referring to the list of leads. Without this, you cannot hope to sell, much less earn.

Building your affiliate marketing leads

It’s not rocket science, true, but affiliate marketing can be tricky nevertheless. It’s a proven business model and many affiliates have had considerable success in their chosen programs. However, like all businesses, there are also certain factors upon which your success in building your list of affiliate marketing leads rest. Consider these factors carefully:

Your reputation

As a new affiliate marketer, you will find that it will take a while before you can build your affiliate marketing leads. All new marketers have gone through this since enjoying the patronage of a solid number of followers will not happen overnight.

To attract a solid list of affiliate marketing leads, you will have to become a recognized business entity in the industry. Without a reputation, potential leads will find it difficult to trust you or at least do business with you. Faced with a choice between buying from a popular marketer versus an unfamiliar one, would you rather buy from the person you know than from a total stranger?

The same is true with your affiliate marketing leads. They will need to recognise you as a reliable merchant or affiliate before they agree to buy, participate or become one of your recruits.

Web traffic

Another key element that affects the number of affiliate marketing leads you can obtain is the amount of traffic your site receives. A high web traffic figure is beneficial in two ways it allows you to obtain comparatively larger affiliate accounts and increases your potential of building a bigger number of affiliate marketing leads.

Without a good number of traffic to your website, you might have to either focus on using strategies to build it first or join a networking service offering affiliate programs instead.

The affiliate product

There are two things that affect how well you can build your affiliate marketing leads. One is the product’s value and the other is how well you yourself understand the product.

The choice of an affiliate product is critical to every affiliate. An affiliate product that has a proven or at least a potential for good sales will be far easier to promote and generate income from. It will also make it easier for an affiliate to build leads with, since prospects will be more willing to respond to it.

A good understanding of what makes the affiliate product attractive and valuable enough is also key to attracting more leads. Being able to explain why and how a product works on your website or articles, for example, will help you sell it better, especially with other products competing for the same market.

The niche or target market

One common concern among affiliates is market saturation that point in time when a specific segment of the market becomes flooded with the same (or at least similar) products and services. So much so that it becomes increasingly difficult to sell, much less to convince prospective buyers to consider the product or service you’re trying to promote.

You can avoid this, however, by focusing on generating affiliate marketing leads from specifically targeted segments of the market or niches. Consider selling or promoting products that appeal to a specific group of people who have a common yet largely unmet need. Competition for this market is relatively low and with the right kind of strategies, you’ll find that this niche can be especially lucrative.

One of the major “Bumps in the road” as an affiliate marketer is Drive Targeted Traffic to your authority or affiliate website. Here are the top 10 proven ways you can drive quality traffic to your authority or affiliate marketing site and increase your income-generating potential:

1. E-mail campaigns

Used carefully, e-mail campaigns can easily drive targeted traffic to your site.  This can be done by providing highly relevant and valuable information on the body of the message and then offering a link that will bring the recipients into your site.

You can do this two ways: one is by providing the full content in the e-mail message and then offering a link inviting the recipient to view more similar write-ups on your site.  Another is by giving only a portion of the content and offering the rest on the affiliate site.  A linked e-mail signature should also be included.

2. Articles

Informative and how-to articles, especially well-written ones, are proven traffic baits for affiliate marketing sites.  Include links to similar or additional information within the content body that can only be read from your site and provide additional links on your signature.

3. Newsletters and e-zines

People love information, particularly those about subjects they are curious about or are involved in which explains why targeted methods to drive traffic to affiliate marketing sites work best.

Offer e-newsletter and e-zine subscriptions, making sure that links bring recipients to your site.  Use a separate landing page or squeeze page like this one to handle the subscription process for your visitors’ convenience.

4. Blogs

Other than your affiliate marketing site, use a blog to get in touch with prospective customers and members.  Blogs are considerably more personal and lighter in tone than most affiliate business sites and they can be a great source of information, news, advice and tips from you to your prospects.  Include a link from your blog to your affiliate marketing site.

5. Social bookmarking sites

These sites are a rich source of targeted traffic that you can drive to your affiliate marketing site.  Your market demographics are also easier to define so sending out invitations to potential leads and members is a lot easier.

6. Discussion forums and boards

By leaving useful and thought-provoking comments on discussion boards and forums, you encourage other members to react and send you a reply.  You’ll be able to build a networking relationship from here.  Make sure to sign with a link back to your site.

7. Guest blogging

You could drive another blog’s captured traffic to your affiliate site by becoming a guest blogger.  If you can write well and can offer unique and useful content, the site’s readership will find you interesting enough to follow you to your own site.

8. Allow bookmarks on your web pages

If you have content, you can drive traffic to your affiliate marketing site by allowing your readers to bookmark certain pages.  This will help promote those pages and your website to other people who might be interested in the same subjects.

9. Host a contest

Locate your target market and then promote a contest through ads or e-mails.  All details must be found on your affiliate marketing website so you can drive traffic there.  Registration must also be performed on one of your landing pages.  Just make sure to offer prizes that visitors who will be coming in will find useful.

10. Freebies!

There’s nothing like a nice gift to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing site.  It’s easy to implement and can be relatively cheap.  Furthermore, you offer these visitors an incentive to sign up for whatever campaign it is you’re promoting.

It seems in 2011 everybody wants to earn money fast. They all seem to be looking for the easiest and fastest way to get the extra bucks they need to catchup with their ever increasing expenses. A lot of us are asking how can we earn extra easily and quickly. The answer is as simple as 2 words. Affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing came about in the early stages of the 20th century. It was like a little spec when it started and it proved itself to be effective therefore it expanded and now everybody seems to be enjoying the benefits of affiliate marketing.

So what is affiliate marketing? Well, derived from the word itself affiliate marketing is an affiliation between you and a certain company that has a product or service they would like the public to know about through the power of online advertisement or promotion. Companies will gladly pay certain individuals that could actually showcase their goods online through blogs, articles or in any manner that their products will be exposed.

So what do you need in order to plunge in to the world of affiliate marketing? To tell you frankly, you might be surprised to know that it really doesn’t require much. Aside from a decent computer, you would just need an internet connection and of course a bit of your time to enter this online business.

Since affiliate marketing is an affiliation between you and a certain company, their product or service must be known to the public through online advertisement or promotion. A great place to start looking for companies or products that are just waiting for affiliates to promote their products is Clickbank .

It used to be said that you would need to have a website to promote such products, nowadays that’s not even relevant, you could choose a product to promote and direct buyers directly to the product owners website. Although this method works and is easy to implement, its still advisable for better results to have your own website. The more traffic you have on that website the better.

My Unboxing of the Synology DS411j Network Attached Storage Device (NAS)

Its a sad blog posting for me this morning to awake to the news that Steve Jobs, ex CEO of Apple has passed away.

Being an Ex employee of Apple myself, and having met the amazing man in person, this really touched me.

One of the Great Thinkers of our generation who dared to think differently, R.I.P Steve.

Steve Jobs narrated this unaired version of Apple's famous Think Different ad in 1997:

I attended a seminar called The Millionaire Mind Intensive at the begining of September. The seminar was sponsored by Peak Potentials Training, a company
owned by T.Harv Eker, the author of the best selling book
"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind".

Read about the book here:- http://amzn.to/q60LGM

Here are some excerpts from the book…..

Wealthy people are not any smarter than poor people; they just have
different and more supportive money HABITS.

It may not be the most glamorous of topics, but it comes down to
this: the single biggest difference between
financial success and financial failure is how well you manage your
money.  It's simple: to master money, you must manage money.

As for those who use the "I don't have enough money to manage"
rationale, they're looking through the wrong end of the telescope.
Rather than say "when I have plenty of money, I'll begin to manage
it", the reality is "when I begin to manage it, I'll have plenty of
money."

Saying "I'll start managing my money as soon as I get caught up" is
like an overweight person saying "I'll start exercising and dieting
as soon as I lose twenty pounds."  It's putting the cart before the
horse, which leads to going nowhere…or even backward!  First you
start properly handling the money you have, then you'll have more
money to handle.

At the seminar they outlined an amazingly simple money management
system involving 6 or 7 jars. 

The jars are labeled like this:

FFA – Financial Freedom Account  10% of your after tax income goes
in here and is not taken out for anything other
than investments to build your PASSIVE income.  Put something in
this account everyday…even if it's your pocket change.

NEC – Necessities – 50% of your after tax income goes in here and
is used for uh…necessities…food, shelter, clothing, car etc.

EDU – Education – 10% of your after tax income goes in here to be
used to improve yourself.  Do you spend more at the coffee shop
than you do on your education…books, tapes, seminars etc?

LTSS – Long Term Saving for Spending – 10% of your after tax income
goes in here to be used for down payments on houses or cars…big
ticket purchases like furniture etc.  You could have 2 of these
jars and put 5% in each.

GIVE – Giving – 10% of your after tax income goes in here to be
used for charitable contributions.

PLAY  – 10% of your after tax income goes in here for fun!  You
spend this money every month or at the most every two months.  He
suggests using this money to do or buy something a wealthy person
would.  A limo ride?…a massage?…fancy shoes?…a Rolex?…it's
up to you but make sure it's something that really makes you happy
and/or is fun!

If, like me, you are self employed you'll need another jar labeled
TAX in which you put 20% of yo*ur inco*me before you divide up the
rest to be put in your jars.

Of course, it is a bit impractical and unsafe to put all that cash
into jars sitting in your kitchen so here is what
I do…

I've opened 5 savings account  and named them FFA, EDU, LTSS, PLAY and TAX.

I keep the GIVE and NEC money in my current accounts for quick
access.  

I've decided to do my jar updating on Sundays although I do put
pocket change in my FFA jar everyday.

In my jars I have a small notebook that notes the date and amounts
of my deposits.

Here are a few more quotes from the book if you need any
motivation…

You must acquire the HABITS and skills of managing a small amount
of money before you can have a large amount.  Remember, we are
creatures of habit, and therefore the habit of managing your money
is more important than the amount.

Again, poor people thinks it's all about the income; they believe
you have to earn a fortune to get rich.  Again, that's male
cow-manure!  The fact is that if you manage your money following
this program, you can become financially free on a relatively small
income.  If you mismanage your money, you can't become financially
free, even on a huge income.  That is why so many high-income
professionals – doctors, lawyers, athletes, and even accountants -
are basically broke, because it's not about what comes in, it's
about what you do with what comes in.

If those percentages don't work for you right now…just do
whatever you can.  Divide up whatever you can.  Remember, it's not
the amount…it's the HABIT!

Let me know how it works for you.

Have a great week!
