Viral Tweets Update

May 12, 2009 11:38 pm | 2 Comments |

Looks like the Two Thumbs Up may have been flipped a bit early on Viral Tweets.

It is such a shame when something looks like such a great thing on the outside and turns out to be shallow at best. I love the concept of the tool and I did see some hits on it.

Now, in my last review on Viral Tweets I had only gotten the free version. It was brought to my attention by one of the readers to this post that the follows on my twitter page were not growing.

I had planned on going ahead and dropping the cash for the Upgrade but had a small gut feeling that maybe I should try to contact the company first.

Hmmm, It’s about a week later and not one response. I emailed again today and asked again if they could get back to me.
As of yet I have not heard from them.

I am going to see if any response comes through by noon tomorrow.

I will b sure to post and let you all know. I am hoping there is a glitch in their system? ( uh, yeah)

I am looking at a couple of other twitter items and am hoping for a better outcome.

I will give another report by noon tomorrow on this.

Please feel free to comment on this.

Launch Tree Go’s Live Today!

May 12, 2009 1:50 pm | Leave a Comment |

So today is the big day for Launch Tree.

For those of you that have not taken a look at what these guys have come up with this time, it may just be worth your while to take a few minutes out of your schedule and check out the videos they have posted on the sales page.

Mike Filsaime and Anik Singal have put this together with the help of some of the top internet marketers in the world.

While I have heard a few comments from a couple of folks out there that are not too keen on Mike (you know who you are M)ha..

I still stand with the education you get from the group. These are the Bad Boys of marketing and you can’t deny the fact that they are very serious about what they do and do have some of the best education as well as customer service I have run across. If there are any questions you have about their product, there is actually someone there to help.

In a nutshell, THEY DELIVER THE GOODS!

So, here is where I start name tossing.

MIKE FILSAIME: (The Guy That Created Butterfly Marketing) “I have the software myself an am in the testing stage of it. So far so good.” Mike does come across as a car sales man sometimes(sorry Mike) but that’s what happens when you come from the Auto industry. All in all he is a stand up guy with a boat full of knowledge. If you want to know how to be the best in the internet marketing world its usually a good idea to listen to one of the top dogs that actually is making a killing in it and is doing it with determination, focus and heart.

Anik Singal:
Read up on this young guru and take notes. Anik is the founder of Affiliate Classroom. He was also voted as a finalist in Business Weeks 2008 for America’s Best Young Entrepreneurs.
Story here
This guy makes me look like an ant.

So here’s the deal:

Launch Tree Goes Live Today at 12:00 noon EST. or 9:00am PCT.

The price is only guaranteed for
the next 12 hours. The bonuses
are only guaranteed for the next
1 hour…

They’re expecting to potentially
sell-out VERY fast…

Here is the link to check it out!

LaunchTree

By now you have most likely seen
the videos with Andy Jenkins, Frank
Kern, Russel Brunson, Anik Singal
and Mike Filsaime.

Anik & Mike reveal exactly how PPC
Classroom and Butterfly Marketing
built a $10M+ business in less than
a week!

How you’re leaving 456% of your
money on the table…

How 3 quick tweaks made a marketer
$350,000 more in 90 days…

If you do nothing else, at least check the page…

This product reveals EXACTLY how the
industry’s top marketers succeed and
make their millions.

After you view it, come back here and give me your report on it.

Here’s the link again in case the first one doesn’t work.
LaunchTreeLive

Have fun with this and go make it happen!

The Honest Affiliate

May 7, 2009 2:30 pm | 2 Comments |

Rules and Guidelines: to be the “Best You Can” as the “Honest Affiliate”.

So often I see the issues that surround the complaints of what could be great prospects on purchases from our online buyers.
It is a crying shame that we as affiliates can get our names smudged from those that have been not so honest about what they are doing out there.

Look, I know it gets a bit tough at times in this field. I mean, there is just so much to do and only so many hours in the day to complete all the tasks required to make the sale.

The issue is that the tactics that some have used just to make a few bucks are sad at best. Don’t get me wrong; there are tactics, strategic planning, launch strategies, email campaigns and other various models we all must follow to get the marketing for our partners out to the masses. However, when you skirt your way to the money, it is just as bad a stealing.

It may not be that it is even done on purpose in many cases but it does happen.
Here are some great guidelines and personal rules you can go by to keep yourself positioned as the honest affiliate!

Rule #1:
Never Spam Anyone On Purpose!

Rule #2:
Make Sure You Have an UNSUBSCRIBE link on your emails to your email list.

Rule #3:
If You Copy Email Text From Your Partners, READ THEM CAREFULLY! In some cases the content will have a line that states: “I just bought this program myself and love it” or “I have been using this program and it is the best”
It’s fine and good to keep that in there but only if you have actually been using it. Other wise you are miss leading the buyer.

One great way to overcome this obstacle is to put your own text in that portion of the pre-written content. Something along the lines of “ This is an incredible program, I have been following what these guys are doing and think they have nailed it on this one!”

Most likely you have been following them by reading up on them, knowing what the program does and so forth. You now are not putting yourself in a situation to get the TAR and FEATHER from your subscribers if the program they purchase is not all it is cracked up to be.

Guidelines:
Create a “policies and procedures” model for your business.
If you are in this for the long haul and are serious about making this your business, then you need to treat it like one.
Create honest copy in your campaigns.
If something looks cheesy to you, really think about it before sending it out.
Choose wisely while shopping the market place. There are some fly by nighters out there.
Keep yourself focused on a few campaigns at a time and focus on them until you have decided weather or not they are working for you.

Think about what it is you are trying to accomplish with each campaign.

Always remember, people can see through B.S. all day long.
Practice being as honest at you can on a daily basis and incorporate this into you company policy.
Yes, that is where that saying comes from.

“Honesty Is Your Best Policy”

Have A Productive Day!

Do You Ping?

May 5, 2009 6:17 pm | Leave a Comment |

Just a quickie on the subject of PINGING…

I have been asked several times by my subscribers this week what it is that gets me traffic to my pages?

Well that is a very loaded question since there is not just on thing I do to get it organically.

What I will spill is that I PING my blog every single time I post.

To do this go to pingomatic.com as well as pingoat.com;
set up an account with each of them. It is free to do.

Once you have set up your account you can start pinging after every post. This will get the Search engines to notice your content.

Pretty Cool Huh?
Don’t froget to sign up for my newsletter so you can get more ideas on how to increase your traffic and start making you cashola on line.

Have a Productive Day!
