Hi

seeing it’s so long since I’ve written a ‘proper’ newsletter, here’s
a really long one. There’s tons in it, so even if half of it doesn’t
interest you there’s bound to be some stuff you do like.

Like most of my letters it’s a mix of reviews of new products I believe
will help you; online business tips or advice; my ramblings about
anything and everything; and perhaps some links to news stories
or sites I like.

If you want to skip the product mentions scroll down past the first
story, because I’m going to kick off with a look at a new ebook
which could help you do better online this year.

____________________________

And that’s a book called ‘Niche Marketing On Crack’, by a
young Australian entrepreneur called Andrew Hansen.

http://www.nichemarketingcrack.com

It’s been out for a few weeks now, and I ignored it at first. Partly
because of the wild name, but mostly because I thought it would
just be another so-so you’ve-got-to-drill-down-into-niches book.
One of those that tell you to spend weeks doing research then
slowly build your site over time and hope that Google like it.

But after reading a review, by a friend of mine who never spins
any hype (Martin Avis, or Mavis to his friends) I bought it and
found that it’s something altogether different.

I like it a lot.

This is fast action and fast results stuff.

It’s also a fast, no-fluff read, of just fifty something pages, which
delivers a blueprint for building 1 or 2 page web sites to pull in
affiliate commissions fast.

1 or 2 page web sites? Now where have I heard of them before

Yes, I wrote the book on it a few years ago, and I’ve been building
them for years, but Niche Marketing On Crack adds twists I’ve never
thought of.

And it’s all so simple.

What I especially like is this book is that it takes you step-by-step
through the whole process in such a clear way that anyone (and
I mean anyone) can follow it.

Only a few ebooks, or marketing courses, lay out a total success plan
in such an exact step-by-step fashion, without bogging you down with
pages of fluff or theory. And this is one of them.

No steps are missed out. It’s truly join the dots marketing - you start
at Point A, progress to Point B, and just a few hours later, by Point
C, you’re done and you have a site up online with links pointing to it.

Not just any links, but no-cost links which bring you fast traffic and
ranking in Google.

Do a few 1 page sites a week (or more if you have time to put the
work in) and a few weeks or months down the track you’ve got a
permanent smile glued to your face

I’m impressed. ‘niche marketing on crack’ really delivers the goods.

If you’re about to give up on Internet marketing because nothing has
been working for you, you should get this book and give it one more
shot. It really doesn’t get any easier than this.

Exclusive Bonus Offer.

I’ve just been talking to the author, Andrew, and even though it’s
only a low-cost book I’ve arranged a special exclusive bonus for you.

It’s a video tutorial (done by Andrew for readers of his other book,
Speed Article Writing) on how to research and speedwrite the content
for the mini sites you’ll be building. Which means you’ll be able to get
your 1-2 pages sites up even quicker.

http://www.nichemarketingcrack.com/speedarticles/

I’ll also throw in my own confidential list of the topics you should be
building sites on. (This list has never been seen by any eyes but mine).

Plus a few quick ways to come up with, and quickly research, other
site ideas that not even Andrew knows about.

To claim your unique bonuses simply get ‘Niche Marketing On Crack’
from the above link then email me < phil  AT  ozemedia.com > a copy of your receipt.

Finding new products on Clickbank tip

When new info products are released (especially those aimed at
the affiliate savvy Internet marketing crowd) the biggest affiliate
commissions are often made by the people who promote them
first.

So you’ve got to get in quick.

New digital products (software, tutorials, ebooks, etc) are launched
via Clickbank every week, but unfortunately there’s not exactly a
new products category in Clickbank so they can be hard to find.

This means most affiliates miss out on some easy sales because
they only promote the products appearing at the top of the category
lists.These products have often been heavily promoted for weeks
or months so they’re often harder to sell than the latest releases.

Here’s how to drill down to the latest releases.

Simply go to the marketplace at

https://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm

Select the category you want and then (here’s the step most
people miss) look in the sub category list for “New Products”
and select that too.

Note: It’s important to select a category first rather than relying
on the default “All Categories”. If you search all categories you
can’t drill down through the sub cats.

Another way of doing it is to use the link below, and add your keyword
to the end after the = This will take you take you directly to the sub
cat you’re interested in.

Botcandy Special.

In complete contrast to the 1-2 page site building method detailed
in Niche Marketing On Crack, I’ve spent the past two years now
using a great semi-automated site builder called BotCandy.

It’s my favorite site building tool for big blockbuster sites, and the
sites I’ve built with it have done very well with both Google Adsense
and affiliate sales.

As far as I, and other users were concerned, Botcandy only ever
had one problem. And that was a steep monthly fee (in the hundreds)
to use it.

A couple of months ago the owner, Steve Tytler, decided to withdraw
it from sale and have it re-programmed as a stand-alone application
that you could purchase and install on your own server for a small
one-time fee of $297.

No more monthly fees

It went on sale for a very short time last month, but being lazy about
getting a newsletter out I couldn’t tell you about it, and the hardly
publicized offer closed for ever.

It’s simply not available to anyone anymore.

Except to you… because being such a big Botcandy fan I’ve just
persuade Steve to let me offer a few for sale.

Just ten copies for ten savvy people, then it really is goodbye for ever.

One thing to note: it’s so powerful that it can’t be installed on small
shared hosting sites, or cheap reseller accounts. It really needs
it’s own server or VPS to run best, or an upmarket reseller account.

requirements use this link instead: http://www.botcandy.org/botcandy )

Forum Spam Killed Off.

In the past few months, since the release of certain spamming tools,
my AffiliateTalk Forum has been getting hammered by unwanted
posts, which has devalued it a little and seen a decline in the number
of legitimate posts because people have stayed away.

Last week I installed not one but two different anti-spam scripts, and
they seem to have done the job.

Now the spam posts simply aren’t getting through to public view,
allowing the moderators to delete them without you ever seeing them.

So please come along and join in the discussions.

(Tip: only ask one question in a post. Some people ask six or seven
different things, and then get upset when no one answers because
the people who usually help out with answers lack the time to do
all the questions justice)

Here it is: http://www.affiliatetalkforum.com

Note: if you’re new to the forum don’t create a sig file straightaway.
Any posts from new members that contain links will not appear until
a moderator has checked them out, and flagged them as non spam.

Help Mike Blackwell.

If you’re a charitable sort of person (and I hope you are) you
might feel like helping out Mike, a fellow internet marketer.

Although I’ve never met him I’ve been reading his posts on a
UK marketing forum for quite a while, and feel like I know him
quite well, and he’s thought highly of in the UK net marketing scene.

To put it bluntly Mike is dying from the incurable Motor Neurone
Disease - a mysterious illness that systematically shuts down
the nerves that control your body.

He’s bravely blogging his quite rapid decline at

http://livingwithmnd.healtydietfood.com/

and at the same time helping raise funds for the MND charity.

Perhaps you’d like to donate.

It won’t help Mike live longer (though it will help make him happier)
but MND is something that could strike anyone of us, and your
donation will help towards one day finding a cure.

——————–

The following is reprinted (without permission) from Kickstart Daily, the
excellent newsletter written by Martin Avis.

——————-

Let’s get serious for just a moment.

Imagine how it would feel if you woke up on January 1st this year with the
certain knowledge that you wouldn’t live to see January 1st 2008.

Imagine the horror of feeling your body stop working around you, while
your mind remains as active and sharp as ever.

Imagine finding each day that something you took for granted just
yesterday is no longer possible for you to do.

Imaging facing each day knowing that when (not if) you fall down, it will
take you up to an hour to get up again - and you won’t even be able to
put out your hands to break your fall.

Imagine the indignity of having to rely on strangers to help you with
your every need because even the simple act of lifting a spoon to
your own mouth is fraught with difficulty.

All those things, and far more than I can describe (or imagine) are
realities for people who suffer from Motor Neurone Disease - a
mysterious illness that systematically shuts down the nerves that
control your body.

A guy called Mike Blacktopp - a fellow who is well known to the UK
Internet marketing community - suffers from MND and is very
bravely blogging about his life.

We all take for granted that we can type on our keyboards, but Mike
really struggles. Each post to his blog is littered with typos and
mistakes because his hands just cannot work right anymore, and
correcting them is far too hard for him. A few paragraphs takes
him hours to write. But he continues to do it so that he can help
spread the word about this ghastly disease and hopefully spur
things on towards finding a solution.

It won’t help Mike. He knows that he is living his last days. But
his spirit is huge and his desire to make a difference is humbling.

Mike’s catchphrase is ‘Life is not a rehearsal’.

A couple of weeks ago, Mike Blacktopp did something amazing.

This wheelchair-bound man with a failing body and gigantic
heart jumped out of an aeroplane at 10,000 feet to raise
money for the Motor Neurone Disease charity.

Mike is a Kickstart reader and he was helped by several wonderful
Kickstart readers who helped him with travel to the airfield and
supported him before and after the jump. None were silly
enough to jump with him though!

You can see a video on YouTube at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJOHY_w1Kpw

Mike’s Blog is at http://livingwithmnd.healtydietfood.com/

(warning: Mike is very matter-of-fact about his problems, but
you can’t help but feel the horror of what he is going through.)

Donations to Mike’s continuing fundraiser on behalf of the
MND Association can be made at:

http://www.justgiving.com/livingwithmnd

If nothing else, seeing how this guy embraces what’s left of
his life will make you (and me) worry a lot less about our
own aches and pains.
