Using Webinars For Marketing

It's great having a bunch of internet marketing mates, friends who do the same thing as me, it means I've got people to talk to about the latest new stuff, as well as what's working well and what's not...

The only down side is sometimes they tell you to do something that you're not doing, and if you don't get on to it, they'll end up telling you off for not listening to good advice!

And that's what this blog post is about, and example where I've been dragging my feet, largely because I simply didn't feel that I knew enough about this technique...

What am I talking about?

Webinars!

Webinars are the big thing in marketing this year, I know they've been around for quite a while, but the technology has come on a long way over the last couple of years, AND the conversions you can get from webinars are simply staggering!  Read more...

Ebooks with Private Label Rights

Ebooks, Software and videos with private label rights are by far the quickest way to launch your own products online, but you need to know how to do it the right way...

It's not difficult, it just takes a little bit more time and effort than a lot of people are willing to put in, BUT if you do, you will reap significant rewards, I know this from personal experience!

With the recent downturn in popularity of products on clickbank I know that a lot of marketers have felt the pinch on their bottom line, personally I'm actually making more money than I was 6 months ago, and it's all because of high quality, re-branded PLR products!

To help you learn how you can do the same I've got hold of a free report for you called "25 Ways To Reuse PLR Content", it's 37 pages long and has some great info in it.

How to build an online income quickly

A couple of days ago someone asked me whether it would be possible to SENuke X to create an online income without having your own website or blog...

I admit my first thought was along the lines of "Why would you want to...", but I guess that's because I do have my own websites and blogs so it's natural for me to think of using the tool in this way.

I gave it a bit more thought and came up with an idea which I think you could easily use to create a fairly decent income in a short period of time just using SENuke and one other site, which I've mentioned a few times recently - Fiverr.com

The idea is really simple, you use SENuke to offer other people the services that the system provides, all at $5 a pop, and all very quick and easy for you to do as the system automates all these tasks!

So you could offer to set up profiles on: -  Read more... (568 words, 1 image, estimated 2:16 mins reading time)

Affiliate Promo Formula

So is there really a "secret" Affiliate Marketing Promo Formula?

Some kind of step by step plan that can help you dominate info product launches..?

That's a screen capture from a fairly recent affiliate competition that I claimed top spot (and top prize) in.

Note: if you click on the image the full size version will pop up so you can see more details.

and that's not the only JV affiliate leader board I've done well on, here's a few more top place results...

I've included some older one's not just those from this year, so that you can see I've been doing this for a while, and I've not included all my top 10 placings from this year, let alone all the top 15 and top 20 results.

So back to the question - "Is there a secret formula for affiliate 'promo' marketing?"  Read more... (444 words, 17 images, estimated 1:47 mins reading time)

Is Internet Marketing Bad For Your Health?</p>

one of the best things I ever did for my internet business was visit a marketing event.

it was run by Robert Puddy, who's doing another one in the US in Oct (LFMpires Workshop US), and it made a massive difference to my online business!

I admit, I wasn't looking forward to going and having to do all that "networking" stuff, mostly because that always sounds to me like standing around in a room full of people you don't know, trying to start up a random conversation, not exactly easy or pleasant, unless of course you're a bit of an extrovert!

as it happens, all my "networking" ended up being done either in the bar, or outside having a smoke, so starting conversations wasn't forced, it just happened naturally.

And of course the plentiful flow of Guiness helped!

In fact it was while I was outside having a smoke (that's the unhealthy bit) that I met (and made friends with) many of my best joint venture partners, well known and very succesful marketers like (in no particular order): -

This is a real quick update just to let you know that there's a small (aka select) Internet Marketing Workshop happening in London (UK) on Sunday 26th July and there are just a few places left if you want to get in...

UK IM Workshop

the workshop is being run by Kevin Brown and the main speakers will be Kevin Riley, who is a top dog when it comes to product creation, and Lee McIntyre who was a school teacher up until just a couple of years ago and has built up profitable online business and an excellent reputation for delivering high quality advice, tips and products.

The Workshop starts at 10am Sunday July 26th 2009

It's also pretty cheap for such an event, at just $177 (inc 15% VAT), and as it's not a massive overcrowded event you'll have more chance to network with people and make some great new contacts...

I'll probably get to the hotel on Saturday afternoon, so if you're coming you should be able to find me in my usual spot (at the bar) from early evening onwards.  Read more... (197 words, 1 image, estimated 47 secs reading time)

I mentioned in my last post (5. Getting out and meeting people, aka “networking”) how important it is to get and get together with other marketers whenever possible.

I managed to make it down to London a couple of weeks ago for Martin Avis' London Lunch for the first time in well over a year, and it was great to see so many people there!

It was also great to catch up with a whole bunch of people (fellow internet marketers) who I've not seen in months, although I didn't manage to chat with everyone I wanted to (sorry Rob!), and I forgot to take any photos, too busy nattering away, sorry!

So there's 2 points to this post, first is an invite to what will be a great internet marketing workshop weekend that I'm going to, and the 2nd is more of a proposal based on having some kind of informal getogether in Cheltenham every couple of months...

Bristol Internet Marketing Workshop

This workshop is being held by Robert Puddy in Bristol (here in the UK) on May 8th - 10th!  Read more... (430 words, 3 images, estimated 1:43 mins reading time)

I would credit my success online down to 6 main things: -</p>

1. PMA - "Positive Mental Attitude"

If you have a negative attitude to being successful then you're going to end up sabotaging your own efforts.

Likewise if you listen to others with a "that will never work" attitude, then they will have a negative influence on your efforts, so don't do it.

Instead start seeking out and mixing with people who have the same positive attitude and are interested in the same things as you, see No. 5 below.

I posted a great example of how a self defeating negative outlook can be recently here: -

Nothing Works Part 2

Warning - it's a LONG read!

2. Investing in your own education

If you wanted to be a Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer or any other high paid offline "professional" you would have to spend a small fortune getting the education you need.

Why should you expect to get the REAL knowledge you need online to be for free?

Wow!</p>

I can't believe I haven't made a post to this blog since the start of the month!

It shows what can happen when we get some sunny weather here in the UK!

I know us Brits are supposed to be "obsessed" with the weather, but that's because a lot of the time it does rain or get "cloudy", so when we have a week or so of summer weather in May we tend to want to enjoy it, just in case it's the only summer we get...

That may sound negative, but you have to remember that last summer I had to leave my home for several weeks because the flooding was so bad there was no power or fresh water, that was a serious exception to the norm, but we don't have great summers here that often, so when it feels like summer, we have to rush out and enjoy it while it's there...
