Essential Squidoo Resources

Posted April 20th, 2007. Filed under Web 2.0

We round up the most popular Squidoo guides we can qualify. These are the nominees:

Squidoo Secrets

1) Some folks are beginning to draw incredible amounts of traffic to their Squidoo lens, one of whom is “Bob the teacher”.

He had a lens hit #1 on the site, was picked for “Lens of the Day” a couple of times, and was even highlighted in the New York Times for his expertise in a really weird topic.

With Bob’s help, you can learn how to take this free service and use it for affiliate marketing, list building, expertise branding, and promoting your business.

He’s offering a full-blown membership for an awesome price, but even better…

You can check out Squidoo Secrets first for free and see if it’s the kind of thing you’d like to pursue.

Download a 1-hour interview of Bob, hosted by Internet Marketing expert Paulie Sabol.

I can’t believe how much content is on this one interview alone!

Although this one interview is worth the price of the full membership and Bob’s giving it away during this introductory period, but it is the upgraded membership that is truly worth your take. When you upgrade to become a Super Kraken member, you receive:

a) 2 90-minute recordings of private consultations recorded with advanced Internet Marketers + transcripts

b) A listening guide for the call with The Fit Bastard

c) A 15-minute video walkthrough of a lens makeover with Joel Comm’s lens (it then went to #2 in under a week)

d) A 60-minute video of a lens makeover, plus private consulation with Glen Hopkins

e) Access to the recordings of the first 2 Mastermind Seminars

f) Access to 3 more Mastermind Seminars over the next 3 months

g) Access to the “Super Krakens Only” section of the new Squidoo Secrets Mastermind Forum, so you can get even more one-on-one help from our members.

h) Increase in commission payout from 40% to 60% right away on all upgrades from your referrals.

You’ll get a lot more out of Squidoo a lot faster when you take on the Super Kraken comprehensive course.

Social Networking On Squidoo

2) “Social Networking On Squidoo” is really an authority in generating some easy traffic to your site using Squidoo.

For one reason, you can add an opt-in form in one area of Squidoo so people can sign up to your list on the site without clicking out of Squidoo!

People trust Squidoo, so if your opt-in page is on the site it could explode your opt-in rates, filled with adult users with cash to spend!

This brand new guide is for serious marketers who want an automated system for generating high-quality traffic. If that’s YOU, then check it out.

Here’s your special Squidoo report to help you get on a good start!

Squidoo Traffic Power

3) It’s not that straightforward you can employ blogging strategies in Squidoo because a lens is quite different from a blog. In Squidoo Traffic Power, Rena Klingenberg focuses on how you can become your own best lensmaster by knowing how the Lens Rank works, what content to publish and how to drive targeted traffic from your lens to your site.

In 20 pages, all you need to know is how to use your lens as a traffic funnel linking to your main site, and very soon you get more SEO traffic and backlinks and better PageRank for your lens. Rena’s personal method takes her 1 hour to build up a good lens, and 1 lens brings an average 40 hits to her site every day. Imagine what 10 lens can do when they all link up to your site!

Remember, you can build an unlimited number of Squidoo lenses, and they’re all free. So as soon as you finish reading Squidoo Traffic Power, head on over to Squidoo and get busy using her secret fast-track tactics to build free, targeted traffic to your online business!

Total Squidoo

4) One of the easiest way to get into niche marketing is via creating Squidoo lens because you don’t have to put up with consistent blogging or continuous content updating, plus Google still seems to put these lens on the pedestal (as in instant top 10 SE ranking).

Now if you want a formulaic way to build a Squidoo business empire, you want to discover how Total Squidoo can aid you.

Killer Copywriting

One of the most powerful skill to have in running a business, online or off, is having the capability to sell with the right words: copywriting. It is open secret that copywriters are very well paid selling this skill alone, never mind products, because, more than products, it is the thinking behind copywriters that enable them to describe anything they are contracted to promote even if they know nuts about it. The gift of the written gab is not inborn; it can be picked up and sharpened by consistently putting the routine of writing sales copy into practice.

To name a few luminaries, go check them out: Michel Fortin, Ted Nicholas, Jeff Paul, David Garfinkel, Ray Edwards, Joe Vitale, Dan Kennedy, Dan Lok…Nelson Tan.

Nelson Tan?

“Ah, don’t BS me.”

Of course, it’s a joke. My skill is barely blossoming. Practical Blog Marketing is only the 2nd major professional copy I ever did for a client (if you are interested in the workshop by the way, contact Kian Ann for enquiries).

Actually, the basics of copywriting can be easily applied in 3 weeks. To be a master, 3 years :) You can start browing through these articles.

But if you’ve ever wanted to master the skill of writing powerful, profitable salesletters, didn’t know where to begin and wanted a complete and comprehensive course to take you from newbie to expert, we strongly recommend you learn from Jeff Paul and Jim Fleck’s Killer Copywriting, which also includes 3 audio training calls and a Killer Copywriting Checklist. These extra bonuses alone are worth $200.

Jeff sold $40 million(!!!) worth of video tapes in a year and wrote a 24-page salesletter with no pictures, no testimonials and no endorsements and still sold $6000 worth golf set after golf set, and the only capital he put into his business is just words!

The old-time masters of direct response copywriting know how to make money attracting magic with words, both in ads and salesletters! Discover real Killer Copywriting explained to you in words and examples the way Jeff has done in this e-book for you!

Get your 1-year series of Private Label Newsletters!

Posted April 18th, 2007. Filed under MRR/PLR

I recently had the great pleasure to show a networking member within LinkedIn my preferred approach to entering Internet Marketing. This is the billion-$$$ flowchart if you’ve not seen it.

The question I want to address today is: “I don’t have the time to prepare an automated message series up to a year, how else can I get the information?”

Logic tells me if you can’t got it done, get someone to do it for you.

Thankfully, I’ve nailed down the professional who can produce sets of private label newsletters with 52 issues each. And he’s none other than the founder of Affiliate Classroom, Anik Singal!

If you want to break them up as independent articles for your AdSense sites, I’m sure that’s perfectly fine. But being newsletters, the advantage is these articles have a sense of serialized flow. Not only that, your “Instant Niche Newsletter Club” membership includes a special in-house software program that inserts your affiliate links into all 52 newsletters with the touch of a button, saving you hours and hours of painstaking work.

Every month without fail, you get 3 sets of PLR newsletters in 3 different niches. You’ll get a list of proven, profitable affiliate programs for each niche. No research time, no searching and digging…just join those programs and start cashing in right away!

Anik Singal can keep your investment very low because of the number of members he can welcome, but up to a limit of 500. The ‘trade-off’ is very good. Would you rather write everything all by yourself? I’ll bet you’d be burned out before you reach issue #17! “Instant Niche Newsletter Club” is your best ‘outsourcing’ option yet. Anik knows the demand and he’s already working on it. Tap on him now!

Your secret to speed-reading…

We want to support as many people as possible to be better readers because better readers are also better learners and better earners! Speed-reading is a proven and established personal skillset throughout generations and here’s your chance to empower yourself to squeeze the maximum potential out of your brain juice!

Purchase the Speed Reading Secrets audio course today, send your receipt to Nelson at support@internetmasterycenter.com and receive “Speed Reading—Increase Reading Speed Without Losing Comprehension” and “The Speed Reading Monster Course”. Consider this a “3 for the price of 1″ offer. Just conscientiously set aside 15 minutes a day to practice the skill and you are guaranteed to absorb and retain at least 3 times quicker and more than you normally do now!

* Super Page Splitter *

Posted April 16th, 2007. Filed under Testing And Tracking

Super Page Splitter

On first impression, you may think Super Page Splitter is a split-testing software. It is much more powerful in its functionalities.

There’s a lot being said about what it can do but you never know how much it can benefit your earning power unless you take it out for a run, and thankfully you can download the lite version.

To summarize, Super Page Splitter is a software that allows you, the webmaster, to show content to your visitors dynamically (without PHP and without Javascript) using different PLAIN HTML pages depending on how they come to your site e.g. search, reading your article, referred by JV partners etc. The possibilities are endless.

1) You can immediately display an OTO page for very-first-time visitors. If they reject the offer, the OTO is gone forever EVEN if they come back under a different IP address!

2) A specific page can be displayed until a certain date is reached.

3) Imagine this: you have a pink widget that sells best to ladies. Normally, visitors can come to your page when they search for “pink widget” or “widget for ladies” (if these are the 2 key phrases you want to optimize your page for), but you want to keep your sales pitch tightly focused so you think of having 2 separate pages for each phrase. Still, there’s no guarantee they won’t go to the “widget for ladies” page by searching “pink widget”.

With SPS’s Intelligent Keyword Detection feature, you can laser-target your visitors with the most appropriate content for the exact keyword. Believe it or not, this feature literally wrestles the search engines to the ground!

4) You can target visitors by their IP addresses, or even ENTIRE Internet Service Providers, like AOL or Netzero! Imagine what you could use that for!

5) The current JV practice is to set up a unique page which JV partners can send their leads to so they can see that “this discount is exclusive for subscribers of so-and-so”. What if JV partners lose their URL? SPS will find the specific page as long as visitors come from the specific JV partner’s website even when the link points to your site’s home page.

6) You can target visitors by their GEO-IP location! Got a special deal for Texans? Now you can show them that deal while everyone else sees your default content. Don’t do business with countries known for fraud? Show them a page that says: “Sorry, our product/service is not offered in your area at the moment, signup with your e-mail address below to be on our notification list for when our product/service is available in your area.”

7) Of course, you can rotate pages to test variables or for displaying multiple offers for each page refresh.

Frankly, there isn’t ANYTHING like Super Page Splitter available in the current marketplace, and that’s because it isn’t every day that a 6-year search engine marketing veteran decides to make his secret weapon available to the rest of the world from today onwards. You also get free lifetime updates and some very outstanding bonuses including an in-house conversion tracker software.

When you install the lite version, you’ll find a link that says, “Upgrade to version 2.0″ You get the full-fledged version at $100 cheaper! Just a way of saying ‘thanks’ for taking a test drive.

Note: The lite version doesn’t have the GEO-IP Location Functionality, the Date Function, or the First Time Visitor Function for OTO’s and other things—those are the most popular features, but what remains is still pretty powerful, like the IP address targeting function, Referrer Function, Keyword Search Function, season function (January through December), and of course the Content Rotation functionality, although it’s kind of limited without the date function.

Software Products by Geoff Shaw

Posted April 15th, 2007. Filed under Other Stuff

Geoff has a couple of useful software on the house:

Easy Web Spider

1) Easy Web Spider is an easy-to-use yet powerful software that retrieves URLs, title, description, keywords and sentences throughout your site to create a thorough sitemap in minutes! You can watch a video on how it works.

Keyword Infuser

2) Keyword Infuser remove duplicates, add quotes and brackets for phrase and exact matching PPC keywords, create misspellings, filter out bad words, split or combine keyword lists and create sitemaps from your keyword lists and much more! You can even apply these functions as a batch process to multiple lists at one time. There’s a demo video to watch too.

Easy Blogger Creator Pro

3) Perhaps this is the most interesting of the lot. If you purchase 3), you get 1) and 2), but more than that…

The main purpose of Easy Blogger Creator Pro is to build and maintain Blogger blog networks. You can host Blogger blogs on your own domain to prevent Google from deleting them should you post too fast, but your blogs are still attached to Blogger so they lend a lot of weight in search engines (means you’ll rank higher). The major downside of this software is it is licensed to one computer per installation and has a bit of learning curve but nothing too daunting that you can’t create great results with it.

If you watch the video, it says something about creating a mini-net (referring to the blog network). From what I gathered in the past, Google (human police to say the least) can trace if you create too many spam blogs within one account. Your Google ‘pub’ ID and interlinks within the mini-net only help to make it more obvious.

My advice is not to rely solely on AdSense for income. EBC Pro compensates with pre-done templates for AdSense, Chitika, eBay, Amazon, ModernClick & Yahoo. Or you can use a custom template. And of course, EBC Pro will fill your blogs with genuine articles that people care to read.

In any case, the current version of EBC Pro creates a new Google account for each new blog, so losing one is not that painful.

Another great ’security’ feature is the “Use Local Proxy” option that allows EBC Pro to utilize Hide My IP, a 3rd-party product for hiding your IP addresses. The new Blogger now requires connecting through a secure proxy, making it necessary to use Hide My IP in tandem with EBC Pro. Hide My IP is fast, seamless and also can be used for anonymous surfing, forums, instant messaging, gaming etc.

Geoff Shaw is now working on the next round of major upgrades, including:

* Blogger Profiles
* Multiple Blogs Per Blogger Account
* Add To XML
* Add To Social Bookmarking Sites
* Keyword Metatags
* RSS Feed Validation
* Full Manual Post Editor
* Secure Proxy Support

Chances are the price will be going up to $197 upon that release. Existing customers always get upgraded for free. You may feel like a tortoise in the beginning, but once you master the software, it can be a huge time-saver while you use it to automatically create hundreds of blogs with your own custom templates in days and fill them with content and RSS feeds. This is really a good tool and its current price should be justified.

Speed up your directory submissions.

Link Directory Submitter

Link Directory Submitter is a semi-automatic solution that helps you get more backlinks in a shorter time. It manually submits your website to search engine-friendly directories but it makes the process a whole lot easier by:

* Automatically entering your information into the directories form.
* Allowing you to manage unlimited website projects.
* Giving you reporting of who you have submitted to and who you haven’t.
* Automatically updating a list of directories that you can submit to.

Benefit #1: Automatically entering your website’s information into the directory’s form is a huge time saver because you don’t have to copy and paste.

Benefit #2: Manage unlimited website projects – This eliminates the need to keep multiple spreadsheets for each of your websites’ directory submissions.

Benefit #3: You don’t have to keep a spreadsheet for each of your websites to keep up with which directories you have already submitted your sites to.

Benefit #4: You don’t have to keep looking for new search engine friendly directories that you can submit to because Link Directory Submitter does this for you.

At least it can dramatically cut down the time it takes to submit your websites to the directories from 2 minutes each to 30 seconds or less. Try it for yourself.

Gary Halbert – ranting, copywriting legend…

Posted April 12th, 2007. Filed under Copywriting

Gary Halbert

A saying goes that he who projects a tough exterior usually has a soft, cuddly interior. Perhaps it goes to show there are people who know the master copywriter well enough to create this cute caricature :)

I’m taking a little time out to write about a legend I hardly know. As far as this small-fry marketer living halfway round the world is concerned, my initial impression is that Gary seems to be a pioneer of “offensive copywriting”. I’m not sure what his usual choice of 4-letter words are but from what I’ve heard, he writes in a “I got nothing to lose. Show me all your bets” tone, and true enough, he endorsed The Rich Jerk’s copywriting because he identified with it. In fact, there’s something about Jo Han Mok’s copywriting that makes me suspect they contain shades of Gary’s style. On the few occasion I met Jo ‘live’ I should have asked if he learned directly from Gary. Maybe next time…

Gary died in his sleep on Easter Sunday. The tributes are pouring in:

“I have been learning from Gary since I was 15 years old and was blessed to call him MY FRIEND. Gary was one of the greatest marketers in the history of mankind. And that is not an understatment.”

John Reese

“You know Eric, Gary had the best copywriting skills I’ve ever seen. ;) Wish I could do one tenth of what he could do in his writing.”

Mary

“That man provided me with some of the best material I have ever seen for copy. He was a legend and will truly be missed. Marketers, if you have any sense of desire for improvement in what you do, you’ll make the effort to see what this man accomplished in his lifetime. And what the legacy he left behind can do for you.”

Omar Khafagy

“Even before anyone had dial-up, Gary was a highly praised direct response marketer. I will honor his memory by reading a marketing manual I had purchased from him long before the phrase Internet Marketing was conceived.”

Akogo

“Sad news…had the pleasure of meeting him and getting a copywriting critique…the man was flat out brilliant. His swipe file is one of my prized possessions. A true legend in marketing.”

Dr. Mike Woo-Ming

…Just a few taken from this Warrior thread.

You MUST study The Gary Halbert Letter. Gary is so generous with his content for his newsletter archive. You will understand more than his ‘offence’ trademark, it is his business experience, humor and personal confidence that pervades his language. Just read “Canine Testicles” and laugh out loud. It’s one episode in a series concerning a “water filter” ad so please make it a point to cover what it’s all about.

Susanna Hutcheson uploaded one of Gary’s famous ads, a weight loss ad.

Although I hardly know the man, I have seen him quoted in other sales pages and his testimonies for other products. If you have learned directly from Gary, please feel free to put down some great lessons and insights you have gained, or simply pay tribute to him. I like to find out for myself how I can be a little more hard-edged in my writing without putting all of you off, keke.
