Why You Need an Akismet on your site!

June 16, 2009 4:09 pm | Leave a Comment |

As you all know this blog page is mainly for reviews on affiliate programs. However today I want to toss out some info on protecting your site from those little Spammie Enchiladas running a muck on the internet and getting into your site and possibly stealing your affiliate codes. The main reason they do it though is to get higher ranking on the search engines with out your permission. There is a lot of money involved it so they will do what ever it takes to get it.

I will do a complete write up on the little thieves later this week.

Akismet? For the bloggers that have been around a while you already know or should know that you need to have it on your blog page.

It is vital to have it in order to keep the spammers at bay. I personally get somewhere in the neighborhood of about 6-10 a day and to tell you the truth most of them are so un-original that they really just doop themselves.

Here is an example of what a stupid spam message looks like… I have gotten this one by three different ding dongs. It’s the exact same message…

Hi, good post. I have been woondering about this issue,so thanks for posting. I’ll definitely be coming back to your site.

What a bunch of monkey’s peeling the same banana’s !!!

The positioning is that they want you to think they are really interested and get you to post the comment. It is a cheap shot at best to get a back link to their site. Lazy Lazy Lazy…

Alright so go get your Akisment plugged in today so you can help yourself fight these guys off.

How do you do that?

Get in your back panel of your site and you will see in the plug in section:

AKISMET CONFIGURATION: Click on that and it will take you through the set up.

Till next time…

Stay well and healthy!

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!

For many of you that come to my review page, you may have read my reviews on The List Building Club a time or two before.

While I never put all of my eggs in one basket, I have been putting quite a few of them in The List Building Club basket.

I am a walking talking testimony to what Tellman and Shawn teach. They are without a doubt along with a few of my other mentors of building lists, driving traffic and conversion skills two of the most stand up guys I have run into.

The training video’s are top notch and get you from point A to point B very quickly.

What they teach in this not so little club is this:

1.Affiliate Marketing
2.How to create your own product through Private Label Rights
3.How to get the traffic to your page, so you can build your list, so you can offer your email list the product you have that they want!

They show you step by step how to start from scratch and get your first web site up and running.

How to get your auto responder to work the right way.

How to build an offer page or Squeeze page with opt-ins.

How to find the right product to sell as an affiliate.

Go check them out and take a 30 day test drive with them for ONE DOLLAR!!!!!

I DID AND I TOTALLY GIVE THEM THE AFFILIATE REVIEW GURU THUMBS UP!!!!

Have A Productive Day!

Butterfly Marketing 2.0

April 18, 2009 3:05 pm | 2 Comments |


Today’s review is on Mike Filsaime and his Butterfly Marketing program.

“I will be posting a video review this week on it as well”

Right now I am going through the training videos on how to set the software up and get it running, so when I do the video review I will be able to give you a lot more on the entire thing but for now I could not resist writing about what you get aside from the kick ass software.

Mike is fast becoming one of my favorite marketers out there. I originally thought he was just another one of those hoohaa guys that was just pushing STUFF and really did not have that same warm and fuzzy feeling about him that I have with other marketers out there.

I WAS SO WRONG!

Not only did he deliver as promised on his product sent to me but he included his 7 Figure Secrets as well as his Confidential Manuscript.

Then, he took it a step further and added in an arsenal of other cool freebies that I was not expecting.

Mike Filsaime and his Butterfly Marketing so far gets a BIG HurRah!

I am looking forward to doing the in-depth video review on this next week. For now, if you want to check it out go to:
