Pay Per Post

As some of you may have noticed, I have a couple of Pay Per Post banners in my sidebar now. I used to do some write-ups for Pay Per Post on an old blog but kind of got out of the habit. Although this is an e-commerce blog, I don't want it to turn into one of those horrid blogs where the only thing you find is paid writing. To me, that would be like reading a magazine that was nothing but ads. (Although I could swear some of them are mostly ads with a few articles thrown in for filler.) The products and services I feature in my posts are featured because I actually like them and think they can be of use to other entrepreneurs. I don't like to knock things and usually try to see the good. If I don't like something, chances are I won't write about it at all unless I think it may be an out and out scam, in which case I will feel that it's my duty to warn others.

So while you may occasionally see a sponsored post here in the future, I will state outright that it is a sponsored post. While I'm not going to lie when doing a sponsored post, I feel differently when I'm creating one. Basically, I'm creating an ad in the form of a critique. While it may appear that this is what I already do, I don't feel like it is. My uncompensated posts are opinions and advice, not advertisements. If one of the services I'm recommending has ready-made text for email or newsletter use, I will at times cut and paste that. By nature I'm a creative writer rather than a business writer and I often feel that others do a better job than me at creating business text, so if I think someone else has managed to describe a product or service better, than by all means, I will use their words instead of my own.

What I'm really trying to say is that I promise that this will not turn into an advertising blog even though I may sometimes include sponsored posts and that I will continue offering my real, honest thoughts regarding affiliate programs and advertising sources to help my fellow internet marketers along. When I find something that works and is affordable, I will let you know. If it costs and arm and a leg, I'm not going to join and I'm not going to use smoke, mirrors, and smooth words to get you to join. In fact, I'm going to tell you to run away as quickly as possible.

If you have a product or service you'd like me to critique, please click the "hire me" button in the sidebar. I promise to be honest but not brutal. Personally, I hate nasty criticism, but when I've received helpful criticism I've always appreciated it whether I used it or not. I never would want to cut anyone down and make them feel like giving up on their dreams. But if I see a way they can make their site more appealing to potential customers, I'll call it like I see it. It costs $5 to receive a write-up. Admissibly this blog doesn't yet get tons of exposure, but every little bit helps.

Best British Traffic

Hello Jobkillers Club Members,

I know that Cheesemeister mentioned a little about Best British Traffic in the previous post, but I just can't say enough good things about this lovely new traffic exchange, so let me expand a bit.

Most of you probably use traffic exchanges and there are many great ones to choose from. Upgrading your membership gives you advantages such as your ad being shown more often for less surfing. But monthly membership fees can become a burden for those just starting out in internet marketing, who may be on a limited budget.

That's why I am wild about Best British Traffic. There is a great free membership option that allows you to promote up to 5 URL's. This is perfect for the marketer who has only a few programs to promote. But for those who are involved with more than a few programs, there is a great upgrade that allows you to promote up to 20 URL's for just $10.95 per year. And for those like me who are affiliates for a lot of programs, there is a really special option. Just $14.95 a year allows you to promote up to 50 URL's. Remember, these are yearly, not monthly fees. Even the tightest budget can make room for options this good and this inexpensive!

Just click the banner below to join me at Best British Traffic. You won't be sorry!

Yours in Internet Marketing Success,

Turnkey E-Book Store

I just ordered my own. The basic package is only $7. For this price you get the store and your affiliate link. You'll need a place to host your store, and I recommend Host Monster. If you click the link, you can read my previous review of my beloved hosting company.
Back to the e-book store. For $7 you get customizable templates, the ability to add your own products, and earning capabilities from Amazon, Adsense, and your own affiliate links as well as the books. You also get four nice bonus programs.
Should you choose to sign up, you will be given a one-time offer for $37. Personally, I loathe one time offers. Many people are just starting out and are on a limited budget. Why not let them upgrade at their leisure? One time offers make me feel like I'm at a used car lot with a pushy salesperson in a bad suit with bad teeth trying to sell me on a car that I really don't want but which will make him or her a bigger commission. However, I had to admit that you get a heck of a lot of bang for your buck with this one-time offer. You get seven audio books, six videos, four home study courses, and some extra internet marketing programs. You can use all of these yourself and resell them in creative ways as well. I'm still in the process of downloading everything as I write this. In this case, the one-time offer is worth it. I'm actually looking forward to listening to the audio series and exploring the training courses.
I also wanted to recommend a new traffic exchange. Best British Traffic allows you to promote 5 URL's for free, 20 on a gold membership for $10.95 a year, or 50 on a Platinum membership, which is just $14.95 for a year. That's a year, not a month like some exchanges. I have upgraded to Platinum. Click the banner below to check them out.

The Death of Email Marketing

While my favorite price is free, this informative report isn't much over that. At only $1 you can have the exclusive report entitled The Death of Email Marketing, plus resale rights and your own affiliate link so you can make commission selling this special report to others.

The report was written by Romell Weekly, the creator of My List Network, and while it does promote My List Network at the end, it also provides nearly 35 pages of interesting and useful informaton that will be of interest to anyone who uses safelists or is thinking about using safelists. Romell is certainly an expert on the subject while someone like myself is simply a striving netrepreneur still trying to figure out which tools work best for them. Besides, a buck for 35 pages of useful information is not a bad price. Plus you get to resell the report with your own affiliate link and keep 100% commission. While $1 doesn't seem like much, when you get a few of them popping into your Paypal account it certainly doesn't hurt! If you do not yet have a Paypal account you really have to get one if you are going to work in the internet marketing game. And a Paypal account is yours at my favorite price--that's right, FREE.

Speaking of My List Network, I like its features well enough that I have upgraded to Pro for $19.95 a month. As someone on a limited budget, I really need to see the value in something to pay $19.95 a month. My List Network gives me that value. It is not a get-rich-quick scheme but a real marketing tool that will build in value for you over time. Plus, you can try it at my favorite price and then decide for yourself whether it is worthwhile for you to upgrade. And it comes with the ability to promote as an affiliate as well.

Don't forget to cloak your affiliate links and protect your commissions (as well as creating an extra avenue for earning commissions) with Viral URL, which is also yours at my favorite price. Read my write-up of Viral URL here, or just click here to get started with it right away.

Own A Quality Niche Web Store Free?

Come now, you say. How good can a free web store be? And isn't this one of those free trial things where a month later you'll be paying out the fan-dango for hosting fees?

The answer is, a free web store can be great if you host with Zlio. They never ask for one dime, and it isn't one of those cases where you can get a half-baked web store if you're a free member and only have a good one if you're paying cash you haven't yet had an opportunity to earn for hosting. Because the straight dope is that most store owners will not start seeing profit until they've been aggressively promoting their site for at least two years, regardless of how good the quality of your products or website.

Zlio offers only free web stores. And they give you access to thousands of products so you never have to worry about being able to offer the best. Plus their store creator software is easy to use so you don't have to be a web programming genius to be able to understand it.

Check out my Zlio store, Varietea. If you think you'd be interested in becoming a web store owner with Zlio, there is a box in the left side bar that says "create your online shop in five minutes." Then you can either click "more info" or "create my Zlioshop."

Of course you can feel free to buy some tea or a fine quality teapot as well while you're visiting!

The Value of Pre-Launches and a New Traffic Exchange

I wish I'd known the value of pre-launches when I made my tentative start in the world of affiliate marketing a couple of years ago. Have you ever wished you'd been in on MySpace or Skype from the get-go? You could be one of their top affiliates, raking in some nice residual cash for promoting them. Well, now there's a program you can join to keep you on top of new pre-launches, and your membership fee is my favorite price:
FREE!!!!
Join Pre-Launch 4 Income now and check out all the insider tips. I've paid for a lot of e-books and they could easily charge for this service, but they don't. I'd probably better shut up before they get ideas and then everyone who didn't join while it was free will be after my head!
A great new traffic exchange that I discovered to promote your affiliate programs on is Teddy Bear Traffic. In spite of the cute name, they really deliver the goods. Promote loads of URL's even on a free account and upgrade to Pro for just $12.95 a year.
I recommend trying Pre-Launch 4 Income and Teddy Bear Traffic now. I think you'll really appreciate these two services.

Commission Thieves

My, but I must be the most naive little vulture in the affiliate marketing game! When I heard that there were people out there who stole other affiliates' commisions by using the affiliate identification number provided in the link to most affiliate programs, I was disgusted, and more than a little worried. I can hope all I want that these clowns will be hit by a pie truck, but it may or may not happen. In the meantime, us honest affiliates have to find a real world way to protect ourselves. Viral URL provides a way not only to cloak your link but to advertise your programs through them at the same time. You can sign up at my favorite cost--FREE! They do have an upgrade, but you can remain a free member for as long as you choose. I have been using Viral URL for a couple of weeks now. I still have to go into TE Toolbox and cloak several affiliate links.

Viral URL gives another advantage--it shortens the ugly, long affiliate URL's. And don't forget about the free advertising you get when you join! Just click the banner below to get started.

For Affiliate Marketers who promote Adult Products and Sites

I'm someone who does have adult products and sites as part of what I promote, and it can be tricky finding places to promote such things. Most traffic exchanges don't permit adult or casino sites. One that allows adult sites is Cozy Studio, which is part of the Cozy Frog family. You can promote 5 sites on a free Cozy Studio account. I'm going to upgrade to a Pro account, which costs $79.95 per year and allows 100 sites and banners.

Link Referral also allows adult sites. You can promote one site on a free account and have to surf sites to get traffic. You can also get traffic by referring new members. A pro account is $49.95.
