As you know, video is becoming incredibly important online. But if you’re not already a video production whizz, from years of shooting and producing family vacation movies, it’s got a massive learning curve.

Well, I guess it has even then, because when you’re shooting family stuff you tend not to work to a script, or bother with perfecting them for online viewing.

Luckily there are plenty of products available that teach you the basics, but really (until now) there’s been nothing covering Squeeze and Sales Page Integration, and video optimization strategies and SEO <—– all vitally important when you’re in the Internet marketing business.

Now to the now :)

A man I haven’t heard of before, Jeff “Herschy” Schwerdt, has spent months doing testing on Google and YouTube, and he’s developed a new strategic report on on Video Optimization Strategies which includes 40 Pages of How-To information on Video Marketing.

You’ll read about:

- How to Write Quick, Easy, Yet Powerful Video Scripts

- How to Maximize YouTube as a Video Hosting Service

- How to Rank on the First page of Google and Youtube using Video SEO

- How to Find the Best sites to Host Your Videos (Public, HD, and Private)

- How to Optimize your YouTube Videos

- How to Optimize Video Lead Pages

- How to easily integrate video into your squeeze and sales pages.

- How to easily improve the sound quality of your Flip Cam videos.

So you get 2 reports, plus over 2 hours of video just for opting in. Naturally, like all these things, the aim is to get you to buy something, but nothing is forced on you.

Forgot to say that by opting in you’re also in with a chance to win a Flip ULTRA.

Herschy really knows what it takes to succeed using video marketing. He’s a proven success at it, generating over $1
million in sales in his first 20 months online.

So if you’re into using video this will help you keep ahead of the game. I’ve certainly found it interesting reading and viewing.

The mini site formula – reviewed

by

miniformula1 Minisiteformula review:

Long time readers know of my passion for mini sites. Indeed I wrote the first book about them, the best-selling Mini Site Profits.

These days there are quite a few competing products, but I’ve never been tempted to promote any of them over my own.

Until now.

Joel Peterson, a man who makes an average of $100,000 a month from his mini sites (beating me I’m sorry to say :) ) has just released Mini Site Formula.

31 videos showing you exactly, and step-by-step, how to create wealth from building targeted, social proof, mini sites.Simple to create mini sites which make perhaps $3 a day. Whoaa! Only three dollars a day???

Don’t let the talk of just $3 put you off – mini sites you build using Joel’s formula are very fast to create, you build lots of sites, and they can make you money every day for years. Plus, while some sites might only make $3 others might make you $30, or $50 or $100 or even more.

This is the mini site building formula I’ve used for years and often talked about here. I remember that when I first started writing about putting together small fast sites with the aim of making just one dollar a day per site I got mocked. But I kept at it, and people stopped laughing when they saw how many sites I had and how much I was making each week.

So what Joel Peterson is teaching you to do here works amazingly well. I’m living proof.

Anyhow, Joel was kind enough to give me early access to the videos and the member site which has a worthwhile discussion forum, and although I’ve only watched about a third of the videos (because I’m on a very low monthly download limit in my remote corner of Australia) the formula that Joel teaches you is spot on.

And it’s all easy step-by-step stuff.

mini-site-formula

Although I already do most of what Joel shows, there are also some things he teaches that I’d not thought of doing. So I’m going to add them to my sites.

Everything is covered, from easy site building to quickly getting traffic to your new sites. What to promote, exactly how to do it. How to use Adwords properly to get people to your sites. How to do it without Adwords. It’s all simple stuff. And it all works.

He also show you how you can outsource much of the hands-on work. (he does). And shows you just how to scale it up (again by getting others to do the work for you).

But you don’t have to do that when each site just takes around 30 minutes to do. If you’re still working in one of those ‘job’ things, then quit watching TV for a while in your time off, and put up 4 sites a night for a week (2 hours a night) and do a few extra on your days off. After 7 days you’re going to have maybe 30 sites, with each of them (on average) making you perhaps $3 a day (though one of those sites could prove to be a real winner and earn much, much more.

Heck, let’s just get back to my old $1 a day talk. Say they just do one single dollar a day. That’s an extra couple of hundred dollars a week, which in the current economic climate many of us need. But don’t stop there. Next week do it all over again with another 30 sites, so now you’ve got sixty sites working for you, bringing in the bacon week after week. See how it goes?

It’s what I’ve done for years, and that’s how come I can spend so much time on vacation these days :)

Read Joel’s Mini Site Formula sales page for a longer explanation of his $3 a day method

By the way, if you like what you’re seeing and get the Mini Site Formula from my link, Joel will also give you a bonus 40 minute video laying out exactly how he generates 6 BILLION (not million) Adwords impressions a month and millions of clicks.

Don’t just take my word for how good this product is. I’ve just got an email about it from my old pal Marlon Sanders (who talked me into writing Mini Site Profits in the first place). He rarely promotes anything except his own stuff, but today he wrote:

“I’m VERY protective of my customers and really, really, really do NOT have any desire to promote junk to my customers. So I CAN heartily recommend this.”

And I quite agree with him :)

Yanik’s Big Package :)

by

Probably because of the remote area I live in, my postal mail service is about as bad as my internet connection, which is to say it oftens sucks. And parcels, especially, arrive late or never, and Christmas cards arrive at Easter or the following Christmas.

This means I’m very late to the party to suggest that you quickly send off for Yanik Silver’s new Maverick Business package, which is free, except for the postage costs of just $7.95 if you’re in the USA or Canada (ships worldwide for a bit more)

I’m late to the party because it’s already been written about by half the internet marketers in the world :) Continue reading →

Blogging as a business

Unless you’re a brand new reader you’ll know that I stay well away from almost all the big product launches. Usually because I’m put off by all the hype, where dozens of affiliates with big lists send out canned promos.

Most times I’m invited to be one of the first to promote these products. I’m sent a review copy and after looking it over I think “Yep, this is good and worth recommending.”

But then the hype starts, and I back away because I don’t want to be a part of it.

A great software package on sale <— Closing – 19 packages left

My good friend Adrian Ling has just launched a bargain software package that’s ‘very’ useful for those of us doing business online.

Unlike most Internet Marketers who casually write the words “good friend” I mean it. Adrian and I have been writing to each other for more years than I can recall, and I’ve been using his software since before I was born.

Well perhaps that’s a tiny little bit of an exaggeration, but I’ve definitely been using his $67 Easy Clickmate Clickbank software (to power the affiliate program for my Mini Site Profits site, and a number of other sites) since he compiled it years ago.

And over the years it’s worked perfectly and helped make me a lot of that ‘m-o-n-e-y’ word that we’re not supposed to use in emails these days because email filters don’t
like it.

easyclickmate

To cut a potentially long story short, because it’s quite late at night here in Australia and I was up very early, Adrian has just put together a sale of his products (the first ever) at
the very-much-a-bargain price of $49.97 (for the lot)

http://philwiley.com/recommends/summerbargain/

The main product offered (well ‘I’ think it’s the main one but you might think the others more important) is the $67 Easy Click Mate which is an essential Clickbank management tool.

The biggest problem with Clickbank is that there are no stats provided. Now, with the EasyClickMate (just updated to a new 2008 version) you can see exactly how many visitors individual affiliates are sending your way, and see the hits to sales ratio, and other useful stats. Plus other benefits, of course, like it allows you to mass email all your affiliates, and unlike using the standard Clickbank setup affiliates will receive an email each time they make a sale – which is important for helping motivate them into making more effort to make yet more sales.

This software is great if you have a product of your own that you sell through Clickbank.

One excellent thing it does is make it harder for people to cheat your affiliates out of their commissions (by substituting their Clickbank nickname in place of the affiliate who sent them to your site). Making your – all important – affiliates more faithful to you.

I’m probably not explaining this too well because I’m so tired after being up for over 18 hours now :)

But believe me, it’s much simpler than I just tried to explain, and twice as useful :)

You’re better off looking at the sale page that Adrian has put together, where you can see that he’s also offering the $47 Easyclick404 script, and his $67 Easyclickguard tool (a download protector to stop people pirating or sharing your product), plus some unannounced bonuses.

All for a grand total of under $50.

http://philwiley.com/recommends/summerbargain/

I use all of these products, and they’re all something I wouldn’t want to do online business without.

$49 something is a real bargain, because the usual price for the 3 products (plus the 2 unannounced bonuses) is $325.

Actually I’ll tell you what the bonuses are because they’re not mentioned anywhere on the sales page.

You’ll get the very useful $47 AffiliateShield (delivered to you 30 days later) and the $97 Power-RSS (delivered to you 61 days later). Look them up on Google :)

They’re both very good products, making this package an incredible bargain.

You can get it here:

BTW the offer is only running for 2 more days only, or until 300 packages have run out of the door – whichever comes first. So you should get it right now ,or face missing out.
