Monday Tip – Provide More Consume Less

October 31, 2011 By Mark 1 Comment

I sent out an email last week about how things stay the same in the Online Marketing World despite the hundreds of magic bullet products that we see every year. I had several positive comments about the theme of providing more and consuming less, so I thought it would be good to expand it some more here. First off the email will be at the bottom of the post, it was the 2nd of a 2 part email. It did go on a bit too long and I had to cut it so i'll flesh it out a little here. Firstly what do I mean by Provide More Consume Less, If you've been in Internet marketing for more … [Read more...]

Conversions – The Secret to Success

October 27, 2011 By Mark 7 Comments

Back in June I wrote an article about product pricing and put forward the idea that it was probably a good time to reconsider how we priced internet marketing products. One thing I got wrong in that was that I said affiliates probably wouldn't want to promote a product that was selling at $8 - $12 I was wrong , some affiliates have woken up to the fact that low cost products can provide good value to their subscribers while at the same time earning them a living. After all we are Internet marketers and Internet marketing is how we put food on the table. I was doing some research … [Read more...]

Dear Google Why Do We Always Fight?

October 25, 2011 By Mark 8 Comments

Man and woman staring at each other with hostile expressions.

Why is Internet Marketing a constant struggle with Google? It shouldn't be , it should be a symbiotic relationship with Google telling us what they want , us marketers providing it, Google is happy we are happy and the people using the search engines are happy. But no, thats not how it works. Google seems determined to make us all jump through hoops to get ranked and when we do finally start to rank they change the rules again and then we have to start over again. Google seems to hate people who use the internet to make money… well everyone who isn't them or one of their … [Read more...]

Sorry it's been a while since I posted, I was very busy producing a new WSO then last week I had some friends from the WPG Forum come and visit and I never got to complete the post I was writing. Which is actually a good thing as it was a rant against some marketers that seem intent on killing Internet Marketing by promoting methods that don't work and by finding dubious methods of getting money out of customers, but that will keep for another day as I am sure it isn't going to go away very soon. It's been quite a depressing time for me personally in the past few … [Read more...]

Amazon Sales Tax – A Hint of Commonsense at Last

September 29, 2011 By Mark 1 Comment

Let me get straight to the point and say "I generally don't like politics and I don't trust Politicians" I suspect 99% of the things they do have an ulterior motive. On top of that I make no attempt to pretend I understand the American Political System. So now that i've made that clear it's good to see that California looks set to repeal the "Amazon Tax Law" that was recently passed and resulted in Amazon dropping all is californian affiliates , believed to be over 10,000 people. Amazon have stated that they will re-instate their affiliates. I first came across this trend for US states … [Read more...]

Google Hates You!

September 19, 2011 By Mark 52 Comments

Google Hates You!.. They do, they loath you and spend all their massive resources trying to stop you earning money online, They hate they way your sites clog up their nice databases… well at least it seems that way. I really do wonder if sometimes they have completely the wrong idea about what should rank in the indexes. Last week i was doing a search for a particular golf club I wanted to buy, I typed in the club makers name and model and added review to the end , as I wanted to see what everyone else thought of it. Almost every site on the front page was an online … [Read more...]
