Passport To Wealth Member Recants Testimonial And Comes Clean On The Truth About The Business

Passport To Wealth Member Recants Testimonial And Comes Clean On The Truth About The Business
My name is Damian Benko and I am a member of the internet
software business, Passport to Wealth, also known as PPTW.
I joined in Feb.07 and have done very well with this
business, however must make it public that I am recanting
my testimonial that I gave to The Wealth Group. This group
is an organization separate from PPTW and founded by Bob
Williams.

Though I am technically part of this organization, I have
spent my time with another group inside Passport To Wealth
that provides a much more personal level of help and
support. With that group I can provide a much more direct
and dedicated role in the members who join with us.

I gave my testimonial in May of 07 and now feel the need to
clarify and modify that testimonial. It is prominently
displayed on tens, if not hundreds, of sites across the
internet.

I feel that in full disclosure I must come clean and let
everyone know the facts and truth about this business.
Every business I have built, including this one, has been
created on the foundation of honesty and integrity.

As my dad told me many years ago, "that's (honesty and
integrity) what makes a business successful and useful. If
you can't run your business with those traits, then you
might as well shut down and find a job."

For those who aren't familiar with Passport To Wealth, this
is an online business that has been created within the
booming and exploding software industry. The founder,
Darren Gaudry, put this together after studying a similar
business and felt that he could offer the consumer more
value and improve upon that similar model.

Within Passport To Wealth, each member has access and FULL
resale rights to over 350 different digital products all
based around the internet marketing business. These
products are able to be downloaded instantly and will
provide the member with either marketing components or
information.

The marketing components include software tools or programs
that provide you with an abundance of resources to help
improve the look and quality of any website. Most of these
tools are used to help the owner market their Passport to
Wealth business or any other products or programs they wish
to market.

The informational products consist primarily of
instructional e-books and audios that will teach anyone a
multitude of different online marketing techniques and
strategies. In this vast business of online marketing, one
can never master all the ways to reach their target
audience. The way I look at it, is the more information on
how to accomplish that, the better.

In addition to the products, each member receives their own
website that has a professional presentation explaining the
available products, compensation plan and business
opportunity contained within.

With all of these products, one can not come close to fully
comprehending the magnitude of possibilities available to
them. Since the products come with full resale rights,
which means you can sell the products and keep 100% of the
profits, you also have a fantastic opportunity to create an
additional income stream with the program.

When I joined and started marketing these products and
business opportunity I found that by just doing some
marketing and placing ads that I would make sales. In my
testimonial I described how easy it was to bring in sales
and even used the expression, "copy, paste, make sales and
repeat."

This gives the impression that this is an extremely easy
business. In the beginning I think it was far easier then
it is now. I also still feel that this IS a great business
and can provide a solid, full time income, but, you must
approach this differently today then in the beginning.

There is a lot more to marketing this or any other program
then just placing a few over used ads through out the
internet. If that is your primary strategy, then it is
just a matter of time before you go broke or quit.

When considering this business you must understand a few
key points about this business and online marketing in
general if you are going to be successful with it.

1. The first and foremost key to your success will be in
who you work with directly. I highly recommend that you
work with someone that is accessible to answer your
questions when they come up. This is best accomplished
with the telephone. If you can't get the info you need
from your sponsor, what are you paying them for?

2. You also want to make sure that you will be able to put
a reasonable amount of time into building and growing your
business. Many claim that this is 100% automated or that
the system will make sales for you in your sleep. NO
business can do that. That is an investment and Passport
To Wealth is a business and not an investment. You must be
able to spend at least 1-3 hours a day, especially in the
beginning to learning and building your new business

3. Another important key to your success will be in the
training that you will have access to once you join. Is
the training going to be personal or just lead you to a
website where you have to read until your brain is numb?
(Now reading is fundamental to learning, but needs to be
reinforced with your personal questions answered from your
mentor.)

I firmly believe that those that take a serious step into
this business with a mentor that they can personally work
with will have ultimately the best chance of success.
Success is not a right and is not guaranteed. However, if
one truly has the desire, they can not be stopped!

How To Sell Without Selling In The Internet Marketing Industry

How To Sell Without Selling In The Internet Marketing Industry
Internet marketing industry has become one of the most
saturated and competitive niches. The reason for that is
because a lot of marketers buy almost any new product on
impulse, thinking it's going to help them automate their
business even more, or just make more money. But after a
few years this has changed too. Nowadays with all the
marketing hype and new products people are not willing to
spend money on something unless they truly need that
product.

The easiest way to make a sale as an affiliate, or a vendor
is when the customer has already made up his mind about
making a purchase. When the customer knows he needs a
certain product then there is almost nothing that will stop
him from buying it. On the other hand, if you try to
convince your prospect that he/she needs your product, or
service, it's going to be a lot harder to make that sale.
It's a human nature to prove yourself you are right, and if
originally you didn't think you need a certain product,
then you will keep trying to find reasons not to purchase
it.

So how can we help prospects make a buying decision without
looking like a pushy salesman?

First, let's look at some of the marketing tactics used in
the industry to generate traffic and sales.

- Copywriting

- PDF files

- Email Marketing

- Article Marketing

- Press Releases

- Video

- Screen Captures

- Audio

The above marketing tactics are widely used by all internet
and affiliate marketers. All of them are very powerful and
if used correctly can generate a lot of sales and traffic.

But how can we use them to sell something without actually
selling anything. It's quite simple in fact. Instead of
trying to convince people that your product is the best
thing out there, you should concentrate on giving away free
info on how you use it to help you run your own business.

By changing your strategy this way, you will gain more
credibility and won't look like a pushy salesman. People
will actually like you for all the great free content you
are giving away, and at the same time they will want your
product.

So let's look at some examples:

1. You could create a free PDF reports teaching people some
cool new strategies that work for you. You could show
people how your product makes the strategy a lot easier and
automated perhaps. This way you are not trying to sell to
them. You would actually just help them understand that
they need it too.

2. Write Press Releases and Articles. The more articles and
press releases out there about your product or service the
better chance you have making a sale. People search Google
for specific product names to find out more information.
This could also help them make the decision.

3. Screen Captures are excellent for this strategy. Why not
make a video showing people right on their Desktop your
strategies, and how some products help you make it the best
out of it. Screen Capture is probably the most effective
marketing tool for preselling, so you should use it as much
as possible.

4. Copywriting of course plays the major role in internet
marketing. Some think it's more important than getting
traffic to your website. If you are a great copywriter then
you could really make your sales copy sound less pushy and
more informative.

That's just a few examples that you could use in your
selling strategy. As you can see it's possible to sell
things online without actually selling anything. People are
getting immune to pushy marketers who simply try to push
their products down their customer's throat.

Big Ticket To Wealth - Is It Any Good?

Big Ticket To Wealth - Is It Any Good?
There is always a lot of excitement centered around the
launch of a new internet business opportunity. When it is
first introduced during pre-launch many of the "heavy
hitters" from other programs and internet business
professionals come aboard and create what could almost be
called a feeding frenzy.

In addition, many opportunity seekers pursue programs that
are brand new in the hope of making money online. Big
Ticket To Wealth is no exception. Being a seasoned internet
businessman, I decided to review the product and give my
view on whether I believe it is a viable tool for an online
business, especially for someone who is new to internet
marketing.

Every new business needs to have a great product in order
to do well. In my opinion, no matter how good the
compensation plan is, if you do not have a great product,
no one will buy it and you will not succeed.

Entry into Big Ticket To Wealth automatically gives access
to a large selection of internet software, instruction
manuals for making money online and other business tools
that help you master internet marketing and prospecting.

One thing that is different about the offerings that Big
Ticket To Wealth has is the flash videos designed for
resale to various offline businesses. So far, I've not seen
these anywhere else.

The search engine optimization and marketing tools
(software programs) made available to each customer are all
essential tools for making money online, especially for the
the person who is new to the online business world.

The Compensation Plan is I find rather innovative. In fact,
I would say that if Big Ticket To Wealth turns out to be a
huge success, that the compensation plan would be a major
factor. It's not just because of the income potential
available to the person who works it, but because of the
relationship the compensation plan creates between recruit
and sponsor!

I am a big believer in mentoring. Because of that I think
the most important part of any online business plan is the
relationship between sponsor and recruit.

If you are instructed how to market properly online and use
the resources so widely available to you then you can earn
an amazing income from the comfort of your own home and
have more time to spend how you like. It's as simple as
that.

Simply put, because of The Big Ticket To Wealth's
compensation plan, it seems that sponsors are as interested
in seeing their recruits succeed as as they are in their
own success! This is in my opinion the most innovative part
of the Big Ticket To Wealth business plan.

In my "mentor biased" opinion, Big Ticket To Wealth seems
to permanently tie sponsors to their recruits. In it's
compensation plan, sponsors make the same commission on the
sales of their recruits that they would have made by making
the sale themselves. More importantly, that relationship is
not just for the first sale or two, but forever.

This gives to the person new to internet marketing a
willing and motivated coach for as long as they find
themselves needing one. Spelled out, it means that sponsor
(the guy or gal with all of the experience) is tied to you
for their own financial benefit.

To conclude, after reviewing what Big Ticket To Wealth has
to offer I think it has potential to be one of the better
money making opportunities online.

All You Wanted To Know About Press Release Writing And Marketing

All You Wanted To Know About Press Release Writing And Marketing
Are you the owner of an online business and eager to
promote your website and your services without spending a
single dollar? Press release writing could well be one of
the ways to advertising your products online. Technically
speaking, press releases are news item which you can
transform to cater to your marketing goals by writing ads
that have the features of general news. This could be very
advantageous in your publicity campaign since many people
are bored of reading ad copies that only boast about
themselves and want to read news which contains solid
information and hard facts. One of the most essential
internet marketing schemes, this could effectively attract
the eyeballs from targeted groups.

Given below are three ideas to effectual press release
writing that can give a boost to your advertising and
marketing campaign programs:

1. Write your copy in the third person to create press
releases that sound objective. Avoid the use of
personalized phrases and words. Try to express what you
want to say in as much as a concise and brief manner as
possible. Straightforward description is the key here - lay
out your press release in using the 4 Ws and 1H of news
writing - who, what, when, where and how.

2. Try to steer clear from hype words. This is a definite
no-no in press releases. Editors are extremely impatient of
such texts and will discard them in no time. And on the
other hand readers will find it too cliché to be honest
hence the purpose your advertising copy will become
ineffective. Simply use objective words and neutral
descriptions.

3. When you want to insert hype in press releases there is
a way to do it. Place direct quotes from people who lay a
claim of loyalty to your products and services. Get the
words of endorsement from your CEO or marketing officer and
put them word by word in your article. Strategically insert
them in your press release to add the X factor in your
write-up. However, keep in mind not to carry this far
because you want your article to be objective and not
flowing with direct quotations like a book of quotes.

Press release writing is a wonderful way for promoting your
services and products. Only bear in mind the rules of
writing news to make it as effective as possible.

You can use your press release also when there are
significant events coming up. Through this your customer
will get an idea of how this event or update might be
helpful for them. To establish your credibility you can
also display a press release citing the receiving of an
award.

Another important thing to note for making an effective
press release is to make the article attractive to both the
media as well as the general public to achieve a wholesome
impact. A unique press release is not only unprejudiced but
also conversational. Remember to coordinate the press
release with the correct media. You would not like to waste
your resources submitting your press release in an
incorrect forum. This will only render you press release a
failed attempt.

Do not forget that when you strategically and effectively
use press release as a medium of publicity, you would be in
a position to raise the return on what you invest. This
will increase your authority in an unprecedented manner,
beyond your imagination!

How To Make Money Online With An Effective Resource Box

How To Make Money Online With An Effective Resource Box
There is great potential for making money online through
article writing, but a lot of it is based off of the
resource box. Obviously you want to create quality content
that is fresh and enticing for the readers. But it is the
resource box that will make you the money.

You can think of a resource box as a classified ad, as it
can contain your website address, your auto responder, or
simply your email address. Along with that, you can
include a short bio on yourself or the company and a call
of action that each reader should take. Altogether, there
are a total of four things that will make up the perfect
resource box.

First you include your name, first and last, so that
readers can identify you as the creator. You want to get
credit for the work you are putting in, and placing your
name gives you an identity.

Next, you should include a short bio on the company, a
specific product you are targeting, or yourself. This
should be no longer than two to three sentences as you want
to make it short and sweet.

Just after including a bio you want to give a strong
closing. Tell the readers what action to take after
finishing reading your article. Tell them to go to your
website or take a look at the product being promoted.
Something like "click here to see all this and much more"
will be efficient.

Lastly, you want to leave the reader with your website link
so they can be redirected. If you are targeting a specific
product, place a link that will take them directly to the
page of the product. Otherwise, you typically want to
redirect your readers to the home page.

By writing the perfect resource box, you can make money
online several ways. The most obvious way is by directing
people back to your website and increasing the traffic
volume. If you are targeting a specific product, you can
sell the product itself just through the resource box as
well.

A damaging resource box can have a negative effect on what
kinds of money you make online. As soon as you begin
trying to oversell or list all of the products on your
website, you will instantly turn off the reader. You want
to be precise and clear about what your point is so that
the reader stays with you.

So as the content of the article is important, it truly is
the resource box that will leave the finishing touches. It
is the last thing people see and if created effectively,
you can easily make money online from it.

How To Write Killer Headlines For Your Advertisement

How To Write Killer Headlines For Your Advertisement
There is no denying the fact that the success of an
advertisement lies mostly in the headline. The headline
should attract the reader and make him read the rest of the
advertisement.

The headline should be simply catchy and various key points
should be embedded when deciding on the headline for the ad.

The headline should catch attention of the eye at the first
glance. Words in headlines should act as tags for the
advertisement. It should say it all about the content that
follows.

If a company is selling reasonably priced furniture, the
headline of their advertisement should be 'Durable
furniture for less price'. This headline will attract the
right customers who are on a look out for durable furniture
as well as low cost furniture.

If the customers to be reached belong to a category that
are interested in decorating their house with beautiful
furniture and aren't concerned about the price to get the
right look, then the headline can be 'Change how your house
looks by our oriental furniture'.

Anything other than the prospects should not be included in
the headline. If both men and women can use a product, both
of them should be referred to in the title, missing out
even one of the category is like losing a huge number of
potential customers.

The title should be instant product seller. According to a
research, five times more readers read just the headline
when compared to those who read the complete advertisement.
So the investment is of no use, if the title isn't good
enough to sell the product.

There can be a possibility that the content of the ad isn't
strong enough. All the harm can be undone by having a
powerful headline. The headline should be centered on the
product and not the company that is selling the product.

The customer's interest should be reflected and he should
feel that he is directly addressed. Start with 'you' and
not 'we'. So if the client specified on mentioning the
company's name, don't start the sentence with it. For
example, instead of writing 'Tylenol - solution for sever
cold ', write 'Got sever cold? Try Tylenol'.

Never forget to mention the name of the product in the
headline. The product name should be of top priority. A
snapshot of the benefits of the product should be given in
the headline. This is an important quality of a
well-phrased headline.

The customers look out for advantages when he thinks of
buying a product. Keywords like whiter teeth, nutritious
cereals, or miraculous growth should be incorporated in the
title. If inculcating all these factors have made the
headline long, it should be remembered to write the product
advantages in bold.

If a visual is placed in the advertisement, it will be a
good complement. As a picture speak thousand words. But
care should be taken that the headline should say some part
of the story and the visual should say the rest. Don't
repeat the headline or the picture.

Too much of cleverness should not be applied to design a
headline. There are nearly five hundred advertisements in a
local newspaper on weekends. A regular reader reads the
headings of all of them. He will be able to classify
between a false heading and a genuine heading.

No false promises or information should be included in the
headline. Over smart headlines are good for award
competitions, but don't really work with the savvy
customers. The headline should give out a positive feeling
to the reader.

Negativity should be totally excluded as it not only
creates a negative impression but the mind will also be not
receptive friendly. It sometimes confuses the mind and it
interprets a negative meaning of the message being
delivered.

Confidence should be reflected in the headline. Don't
include any doubtful words like if and but.

Conditional phrases are a strict no. The sentence should be
in present tense, instead of past or future.

Selling Ebooks - An Escape Route?

Selling Ebooks - An Escape Route?
Selling ebooks has become more and more popular as a way to
easily gain the extra income that many of us need to
survive in today's world of ever increasing monthly bills.

Whether the extra income is needed to survive, or just to
be able to afford those little luxuries in life, selling
ebooks is an effective and easy way to top up your bank
account every month.

You can choose to create and sell your own ebooks, or you
can sell other people's ebooks for a commission. Both can
be very profitable.

Let's look at both methods.

Selling Other People's Ebooks...

A good place to look for ebooks to sell is www.Clickbank.com

This website has a section called the 'Clickbank
Marketplace' and here you will find hundreds of people
selling ebooks and offering others the chance to sell their
ebooks for them in return for a commission.

The commissions that you can earn by selling other people's
ebooks can vary from a few dollars to sixty or seventy
dollars or more per sale. The people selling ebooks in the
'Clickbank Marketplace' will usually provide a page on
their websites that will offer instructions and tools to
help you make those sales and start earning some useful
additional income.

Selling Your Own Ebooks...

By far the most profitable method is to create your own
ebooks to sell. By selling ebooks that you have created
yourself, you get to keep 100% of the profits on sales you
make yourself and you can place your newly created ebook in
the 'Clickbank Marketplace' and have potentially thousands
of affiliates selling YOUR ebook in return for a
commission. The combined efforts of all these affiliates
promoting your ebook can soon have you earning a very
substantial extra monthly income.

It is now far easier than most people think to create an
ebook and why stop at just one? Once you learn how easy it
can be, you can start to build your own ebook empire!

Thousands of people around the world have done just that
and by creating and selling ebooks, have even been able to
give up their boring and stressful day jobs. Many find that
they can earn far more than their previous monthly salaries.

Creating and selling ebooks can literally be your passport
to a new, less stressful life where you are earning money
each month completely on autopilot.

That's right! You can be fast asleep or lazing on the beach
whilst people from anywhere in the world are buying your
ebook and earning you cash!

If you'd like to join the thousands of people that are
earning an amazing income by creating and selling ebooks,
what are you waiting for?

Come on in, the water's fine and full of money!!

Are you an Internet Entrepreneur???

Are you an Internet Entrepreneur???
In the movie, A Few Good Men, Jack Nickolson's character
screamed the infamous line... "You want the truth?... You
can't handle the truth!" and I feel the same way while
writing on this topic, because most people can't handle the
truth.

The Truth being, "Anyone who can send an e-mail, has the
ability to be an Internet Entrepreneur!" However, many
people start out not believing that statement... because,
they can't handle the truth!.

They may have had predetermined ideas of what an INTERNET
ENTREPRENEUR is, does or has to do and they discount
themselves without even looking into it, while others,
automatically decide they are too old, too busy (or too
something) to even think about learning something new. The
worst part is, when people think "it's too good to be
true"...just because it's not the norm.

The old dog new trick theory is set aside when people find
out how easy it is to become an Internet Entrepreneur.
There are many resources to assist you in building an
online business and examples of how much money can be made
right from the computer you are reading this on.

So... Joe, what does it take to be an Internet Entrepreneur
you ask...? Fair question!

Have a Burning Desire... No matter what you decide to do in
life, Desire is a core component of success. If you want to
do anything, there has to be a "why" behind your plan,
otherwise it will run out of steam with the first gust of
"the winds of change"...

You "Gotta" have Goals... The great motivational speaker,
Zig Ziglar, is famous for the phase... Your "Gotta" have
goals! He would repeat it over and over in his seminars and
audio series...to the point where you realize... "you gotta
have goals!"

Specific, clear, definitive and in written goals stating
exactly what it is that you want to accomplish, seems to be
the common denominators of the process.

Once you have a clear vision of your goal(s), things happen
(somewhat magically) to bring your goal to fruition. Call
it the Law of Attraction, call it focus, energy and
attention, call it what you want... there is no denying
that a person with a burning desire and goals can
accomplish anything!

Find a Mentor or a Coach... This is so important, A good
mentor is going to assist you in developing your desires
and goals. A Mentor or Coach is someone with experience in
similar situations and who has some kind of knowledge you
may lack or has been educated by the experiences, successes
and/or mistakes of others. They have succeeded in business
and life and are looking to assist others to success. A
mentor is passionate about you, your business and your
future, and has you in their thoughts even when you're not
on their "clock".

In the online world, there are countless people, books,
programs, documents and seminars (both on and off line)
which all profess their ability to coach you to success. It
is important for you to develop a keen eye for what is real
and what is "sales speak" (...you know, commentary to get
your dollars from your pocket to theirs). One way to do
this, is to find a "Coach" with online experience. This
way you have a sounding board to assist you in evaluating
the multitude of offers you will see coming your way.

I know in my own coaching practice, my clients (in many
different industries, of which I have never worked) have
seen their businesses transform, their horizons expanded
and their futures become brighter from the conversations
and pursuant confidence that comes from our ongoing
sessions.

Pay for your Education... Education is expensive, time
consuming and cumbersome but invaluable, because once you
have it, it's yours forever. Most people find working on
the internet is much easier than they originally thought!
There are millions of sites to advertise on, countless
resources to answer your questions and programs to make
your learning curve much faster.

Developing skills, education and experience as an Internet
Entrepreneur doesn't come without making an investment of
time, money and focus. Let's address those 3 areas now...

Time: If your business requires you to interact with
people, demonstrate product or attend meetings, then you
need to commit more time to it and you are limited to 9am
to 5pm or acceptable business hours (i.e. 7-10 pm).

Thank goodness the internet is open 24/7 and can be
accessed when I want to work... I find that an hour or two
a day will get most projects done...depending on the scope
of the project.

Money: Being an Internet Entrepreneur means you have your
own business. As such, it takes capitol to run a business.
Some people will take out loans, others will use credit
cards and some will use savings. 74% of all small
businesses are self funded by the owners with personal
savings or credit lines (or credit cards).

Many people look to traditional businesses like franchising
or "brick and mortar" retail formats to start a business.
Today, even owners of traditional businesses are
gravitating over to the internet... Doctors, Lawyers,
Executives, Realtors and more are all moving to work
online.... The main reasons are; lower cost of entry, no
employees, lower overhead, ease of access, no inventory or
shipping and fewer headaches in general.

Another alluring part of being an Internet Entrepreneur is
the aspiration of residual income. This is money that
continues to come in, without any additional effort on your
part, this is how freedom is obtained.

When you are looking at any business model, make sure that
the system is able to be done by anyone! Essentially this
is how I found the income I enjoy and the freedom I was
looking for.

Focus: It has been said by many, "you can't serve 2
masters", and in most traditional business, that is
correct. A traditional business needs 100% of your focus
and energy to succeed.

My philosophy has changed as a result of becoming an
Internet Entrepreneur. Now, I "focus on life" and my
business should be what pays for it...not visa versa. For
over 25 years, my focus was on business. Recruiting,
training, managing, building, convincing and stressing over
the next conquest, life was what happened around the
business and sometimes got it the way...

Now, my focus is on living it to it's fullest, enjoying
family and friends and connecting with people on a real
level (not with the intent of recruiting them into a
business opportunity) but to brighten their day, learn
something about them and myself at the same time... to
completely enjoy my freedom and assist others in doing the

Understanding Risk vs. Reward... An entrepreneur is someone
who takes risks"... Actually, a risk taker is someone who
plays the lottery, visit a casino or eats food from a can
without a label on it. An entrepreneur makes qualified
decisions in business, has the ability to influence those
decisions with their actions, can react to situations that
arise and has the knowledge and experiences to have an
expectation of a specific outcome.

As an Internet Entrepreneur, I feel I have total control of
every aspect of my business, my life and my future. I will
never have to answer to corporate down sizing, changes in
management or economic adjustments. As long as I stay
connected to my Desires, Goals, Coaches and Mentors and
give my businesses the Time, Money and Focus they deserve,
I will always be profitable and successful.

The Rewards far out weight the risks, for the Internet
Entrepreneur. To know that for a minimal investment, low
overhead and to have total control of what your do and how
you do it, given the proper system that will automate the
processes for you, anyone can be in Internet Entrepreneur!

If you feel this way about yourself (even if it's down deep
inside you waiting to come out...) then, YOU ARE an
Internet Entrepreneur! The way to start is to decide and
accept that you are an Internet Entrepreneur, and go for
it... As Napoleon Hill said in his book, Think and Grow
Rich, "what a man can conceive, he will achieve". Once you
believe it, the rest will simply fall into place.

I wish you the best of success, happiness and profits as
you embark on your journey, whatever path you follow.

Sneak Peek Into Big Ticket To Wealth

Sneak Peek Into Big Ticket To Wealth
Until now Flash Video for websites has been virtually
non-affordable to the average web site owner.
Industry-Specific Flash Videos for landing pages has ranged
from $1,500 per minute on up. Now, there's an affordable
way to have production-quality Flash video for websites.
For example, Realtors will be interested in the Flash
Videos designed for Realtors working specifically with
buyers as well as working with sellers. Multi level
marketers of health and wellness also can take advantage of
flash videos for their sites. Stay at Home Moms now have
more resources for their home-based businesses and now can
become master Internet marketers using powerful tools
designed specifically for them.

E-books Available

As a result of having gone through just one of the
programs, readers will be exposed to skills to become "Web
Marketing Specialists" and have know-how to use all of the
Internet's resources to dramatically increase their web
site's traffic and quickly. If you are wanting more people
to get to your site, meaning specifically-targeted people
that are there for the right reasons, you can of course
blindly throw lots of money into pay per click ads and
cross your fingers and hope to get results. But what if
you could actually use software that will notify you if
you're paying too much per click? Other software allows you
to track your bids so you know EXACTLY which one's generate
the most traffic. Learn to write descriptions that GRAB
your customers attention. Gary Shawkey and His Number One
Student Brian Garvin show every secret Brian uses to make
over $15,000 monthly from affiliate programs. It guides you
step by step with the code you need to include in your
pages.

I have only scraped the surface of what is offered.
Included in the programs are truly useful tools that anyone
using the Internet can and will want to use to generate
income for themselves and promote a business online.
What's nice about these programs is that they are products
you will want to dig into right away that are to-the-point
training manuals with methods techniques and strategies
that you can build your online business around. There's
even a program for some fun and I'll let you find out what
that is on your own.

The products are needed and stand on their own, now a bit
on the compensation plan that is advertised as being "The
most lucrative turn-key wealth-creation system in the
world". The compensation plan offers three ways to be paid
through the company, the Presidential membership holding
the highest compensation.

Those that purchase the product line at the Presidential
level can earn $900 overrides on every sale made through
their website without passing up any sales to a sponsor, an
automated website is automatically given to each and every
customer purchasing the products so that in turn, they can
reap the benefits of 100% resale right of virtually all the
products. This compensation plan is unique as members
actually collect monthly commissions on anyone they
personally sponsor. Bring in just 10 people as a
Presidential member and earn an immediate $9000 plus a
residual $500 a month from then on. As a presidential
member for example, the income potential from just a ten
member down line with each member bringing in just en new
members is 1 million dollars per year. A Flash Video
explains this very clearly on the company's website.

Those wanting to earn more from their online business,
Realtors, contractors, or virtually anyone with a website
will find the products to be powerful tools that will save
them time and effort. Compare these products with others
such as EDC Gold, Passport to Wealth or Wealthy Marketer
for example. You will find that although some of the
products are similar, this new product line includes new
products exclusively offered through this new program only.
Compare the compensation plans as well and you will note,
there is no passing up sales to an up line sponsor.

Earn Quick Affiliate Profits Using Consumer Review Sites

Earn Quick Affiliate Profits Using Consumer Review Sites
If you're looking to earn money working from home, you may
want to consider developing a mini web site, a simple one
or two page site. If you make your mini web sites consumer
review sites, they may convert better than simply having a
mini web site that is a sales letter.

Consumer review sites are designed to convert viewers into
buyers by briefly describing the various benefits and
liabilities between various websites in a particular niche.

While the advantages of mentioning benefits is obvious,
here's why you should also sprinkle a few critical remarks,
too:

The reason you want to mention liabilities is because you
want to come across as an objective reviewer. However, you
should keep your critiques mild, rather than condemn the
merchant's products strongly. Your aim is to sound
balanced. It is not to burn the merchant.

Here are some steps you need to take to develop a mini site.

One, find a profitable niche. Do keyword research to
determine the niche.

Two, determine the best products to review within your
niche. These are products which you will be making an
affiliate commission from.

Three, write well-crafted reviews of each merchant. Do
about three to five merchants. You don't want to bewilder
the reader with too many choices. Each review need not be
more than 100 or 200 words. You want to be short, punchy,
and concise, while still being helpful and informative.

Four, design an attractive landing page. Add headers and
graphics and neatly spaced frames. Avoid slapping on
banners or other advertising. These will only distract
your visitor's attention. You want them to read your
reviews and click on a link so that you then become
eligible for a commission should they buy.

Each mini-site should sell only one particular niche and
should be optimized only for that niche. You want to
select keywords that are based on your niche, those that
are popular enough to attract some good traffic.

The best way to optimize your mini-site is to use your
keywords in the title, heading tags, and graphic alt tags.

Make everything very easy to find and make on-page
navigation very simple. You don't want your prospects
confused by where to go or what to do.

Whatever you are reviewing, quickly describe the product
the merchant is offering. Keep your focus tightly on the
product or service. You can also pre-sell the merchant by
mentioning endorsements and bonuses.

When setting up your mini site, don't skimp on costs by
buying cheap hosting. You want to have a host that has a
good track record of minimal down time and prompt,
efficient, and courteous technical support. The domain you
select should have the niche name in it and the word
"review" in it as well. This will help with your search
engine rankings and traffic generation.

Mini sites have numerous advantages.

One, they are easier to optimize for search engine ranking.

Two, inbound links to your mini sites will lead to a higher
Google Page Rank.

Three, you can easily establish yourself as an expert in
your niche.

Four, the combination of all these three can generate
higher traffic than many regular websites that have an
unclear focus.

Using mini sites to market consumer review sites is an
easier way to make quick money because you do not require
much time or money to set them up.
