1. The Trivita Success Story
Origin and History of Trivita

Trivita is a Health & Wellness Company based in Scottsdale, AZ., is currently 9 years old and does over 100 million in annual sales. They have been given the Official "Seal of Approval" by some of the most Credible People in the Work at Home Industry.

Trivita is owned by a 35 year old parent company named Ellison Media, Inc. This company does a Billion (with a "B") in sales each year for its clients such as GE, BMW, Motorola, Disney and many more.. but you get the picture. Ellison Media Inc. is owned by Michael Ellison, the same person who owns Trivita, so this companies credibility is unquestionable.

"It's fun just sitting in my back office and watching volume come in each month now from the Customers I purchased a couple months before. It's also nice knowing this is like a true GPS map to freedom. My wife doesn't get upset when I show her my check either. We plan on purchasing hundreds of customers over the years. This is also a relief for my Wife after watching me failing online in different MLM ventures where most people quits as fast as you signed them up.

Why Trivita? What makes us Different? Technically, Trivita isn't a Network Marketing company at all, even though their Dual, 7 Level Uni-Level, Reciprocity Rewards Plan is a Network Marketing type of Compensation Structure. In fact, they employ a concept called Cooperative Marketing, a Marketing Concept 99.5% of the Professional Marketers out there don't even know about yet.

Cooperative Marketing is a concept where you "Cooperate" with Trivita, and Trivita in turn Cooperates with you by sending you a paycheck each time one of these customers reorder. Since you can purchase these customers directly from Trivita, there is NO need to recruit anyone, nor to bother any friends and family members.

Sounds strange doesnt it?

Please go ahead and view the 9 minute video below to get a better idea of what Cooperative Marketing is and why you might be missing the boat right now:

Cooperative Marketing Video

Why Cooperative Marketing? Learn What 99.5% Don't Know!

The Scoop on Purchasing Trivita Customers

Trivita advertises on TV, Radio and in Print and brings in about 500 customers per day at the moment. This company sells its Sublingual B-12 Customers which cost $50.00 each to its Business Affiliates. You can purchase up to 100 ($5,000 max) per month of these customers right from your back office using what is called an eMap Reservation. These customers usually take 3-6 weeks to be delivered into your back office. They purchase Sublingual B-12 from a nationwide infomerical directly run by Trivita, then these customers are then later sold to reps.

Not all customers reorder of course, some reorder periodically, but some go on auto-ship. We've seen orders as high as 230 Vita Points (essentially $230.00) for one order. Finally, you can imagine how easy it will be to meet your volume requirements for advancement each month if you had hundreds, even thousands of customers pouring into your down-line each month.

And much of this activity is generated off the efforts of others.

When You Join Trivita, you'll be part of the Tomorrows Home Business Team. This simply means that your success is assured. Youll be in the record breaking group of Al Gonzales from Hawaii whos been featured in the Trivita Journal. Let me show you what makes us here at the Tomorrows Home Business Team different from the rest.

We are guided by the Godfather of internet marketing Tom Prendergast ( CEO of Inetekk ) backed by the Veretekk lead generating machine, we are also fortunate enough to have Butch Hamilton (SEO Master) on our team whos constantly on the search engines top positions on the most relevant key words. Plus youll have the expertise advices from Ray Jewell whos one of the most respected Bachelor, MBA, and Doctorate in Economics and has been consulting with clients for thirty years.

People tend to base their business on lots of Ohh's!, Raa's! and hype, and that may work for some, but that's not what we're about. Our entire infrastructure, philosophy and reason for being is to earn long-term residual income and to help others who are serious do the same, even if theyve failed many times before.

I also want to point out that even though Trivita allows you to build your organization as wide as you want, our Tomorrows Home Business group philosophy is to build 3-Wide then support your team and help them get 3, all the way down-line.. That will create wealth for everyone involved.

To get an idea of the earning potential with this approach Im inviting you to check out the Income Calculator. Right now we are working as a team to acquire Google notice with relevant fresh content as well as blogging, forums, articles, etc and with our SEO experts we will own the search engines top positions on the most searched key words.

2. ItsGoodBusiness. A New Networking Community Finds its way in the Internet like a Storm
ItsGoodBusiness.net is where marketers buy customers instead of buying leads. Now has just launched a new networking community where anyone can join to make new friends and share marketing ideas.

The Its Good Business concept to buy customers instead of buying leads was started by one of the most respected online marketer whos only goal is to provide an honest and ethical way for the little guys and gals to make money online without feeding any Gurus bank account.

Thomas Prendergast ( jokingly renamed Godfather ) has been providing marketing tools, training and knowledge to people working home based business for the last eleven years through Inetekk and Veretekk. After watching many marketers loosing time, money and dignity on empty promises from the many MLM online companies throughout the years Mr. Prendergast has come up with a brilliant idea to help anyone to not only to recoup their past losses but to actually get wealthy online with a different business model.

The ItsGoodBusiness.net concept has inspired many to adopt a new business model where a marketer buys customers instead of spending money on buying leads or on any other form of internet advertising available. With the help of many SEOs working together this new concept is dominating most MLM companies on Google search these days, the internet is experiencing something never seen before as far as search engines exposure of a simple page that is getting so much attention from a lot of people working a home based business.

Part of this huge success is do to the efforts of real people working behind the seen such as Dr. Raymond Jewell, Butch Hamilton, Al Gonzales, and Jesse Boland who recently just created a new networking community where all marketers have access to exchange ideas and make more friends.

3. FFA Leads

The Free For All or simply called FFA sites are the most popular free advertising places online. Many marketers take advantage of all this daily traffic in order to promote their internet businesses,even though they are so popular very few people ever get any substantial results with this kind of free advertising. Mainly is do to the facts that very few marketers really know how to work FFA leads, for the most part people that post their ads for free very seldom get any traffic to their web sites, on the other hand many marketers are victims of the so called experts FFA reports, e-books, etc.. all encouraging to host an FFA site instead of posting your ad to them.

That creates another bad situation for a lot of folks where way too many credit cards are maxed out do to the highly monthly recurring fees in hosting FFA sites. Hosting or posting to FFA sites without a specific marketing strategy will eventually frustrate most marketer who are trying to sell a stranger on a daily base something he or she doesnt need, doesnt want or cannot even afford. And yet so many people are sinking so much money in this type of paid advertisement on a monthly base, some of the most popular programs that preaches hosting FFA site are: The Secrets of the Big Dogs, Traffic Explosion, 10 Pay Checks per Month and a few others.

Even though very few marketers have been able to survive online with this kind of approach many online newbies are attracted by the very convincing sales pages of the above mentioned sites. And so they will continue to spend huge amount of money in hosting FFA sites hoping to get rich online in promoting all kinds of businesses by emailing the same people everyday. Whether youre hosting or posting to an FFA site in order to promote your internet program you must find out the proper methods before you can approach anyone.

Asking permission before sending out an opportunity link and building relationship with other marketers is the key to any online business success, this is why the Veretekk and Leadsomatic tools are allowing thousands of marketers everyday to generate more prospects and more leads without spending any money in hosting FFA sites.

One important recommendation to all FFAs hosters and posters would be: Buy customers instead of spending small fortunes in FFA leads.

4. Emerald Passport Leads
The Profit Master Automated Marketing System consists of a series of flash movies that convey information about the business opportunity, products and compensation plan. The Profit Master marketing system can also be custom configured to interchange the movie presentation to address your marketing needs and goals."

So, it would be one of your best advantage in marketing the emerald passport international opportunity.

The down side What you should know is you will not get paid instantly on your first sale. The emerald passport international system works on a typical australian 2-up compensation plan. This means your first 2 sales or people who joins you goes to your sponsor. It can be a little discouraging but nonetheless they (top earners) market it as a fact that you will get paid the same way. Just give it a logical thought because if you are not really experienced in marketing, the first 2 sales are the hardest. Hence, your total cost before you even start to profit is $3295 ($2000 commissions give up + $1295 initial fees). If this is bad enough for you, the hard truth is at your 3rd sale your sponsor will not get any benefit from that onwards and they become your competitor instantly. Talk about 'direct competition' in the same emerald passport team!

5. Veretekk Leads

Veretekk is the most sophisticated and automated lead generating system online today, started nearly twelve years ago by two big dreamers Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling to provide an array of tools to anyone who wants to promote a business, a product or service online. These massive tools are allowing thousands of marketers every day to submit sites to google and all the major search engines in order to generate leads for their online businesses, further more it allows many other's to push a few buttons on a daily in order to generate thousands of incoming emails from other marketers to whom they systematically apply what is know as the relationship and friendship building that over a short period of time usually will bring people working together in business ventures.

Many people are failing at online businesses because they do not know how to obtain sufficient quantities of fresh leads, prospects who are looking to buy, to sustain and grow their particular business. Of course, this has been the bottom-line challenge of every business since the beginning of the history of man, whether it be traditional retail or online enterprise on the Internet. I don't know how anyone could possibly succeed in a home based e-biz without the down to earth instruction one can get from Veretekk and its live training classes in the state of the art Vereconference room. I especially like the SEO classes, because it enables one to place higher on the major search engines without paying a dime in pay per clicks or any other form of paid advertisement.

The main key to successfully marketing the business is not only the other members involved, but the Marketing Tools and Training available to accomplish this.The business is in place, now, generating the much needed traffic is the next task. How can this be accomplished? Simple, research. Research Marketing Systems or Companies that state they have everything within the system to effectively market and promote a business. Google the system and/or company claiming to have the "best" system and verify what it has to offer. Is it cost effective, will it "truly" generate traffic, will it launch the business to top google rank positions, is there support available at any time if a problem arises? These are just a few questions one needs to ask before committing to the Marketing System or Marketing Company. DO NOT waste time, money or energy on something that will not work for productivity and successful marketing, this will only hinder success and leave one frustrated, angry and disheartened.

Every Veretekk member most likely has spend huge amount of money in buying leads in the past in order to promote their internet businesses, Ive talked to many of them in the past and no one has showed any interest in going back to the online Gurus for more garbage e-books, reports and software in order to promote anything online. Thanks to Tom and Mike vision most of us are now safe from that.

Way to go Veretekkians!! Congratulations! Configure your Traffic Portals with the proper key words and Google will bring you premium leads. Keep on blasting your ads to 2 Billions with Leadsomatic and your inbox will fill in with prospects for you to contact later. Set your Sequential Mailer autoresponder with a long email series and people will buy from you at a later date.

Attention to All Veretekk Members! While youre concentrating on generating leads for all your internet businesses, I would like you to consider investigating new ways to make serious money by simply following Tom Prendergast suggestions regarding Its Good Business Buying customers in most cases will lead you to more Wealth

8. Passport to Wealth Leads
Passport to wealth concept launched in the beginning of 2007 and it took the internet by storm. Packed with thousands of dollars worth of digital products and with a price tag of $ 997.00 did get the attention of many marketers who did get excited about the earnings potential with such program. Although many others where skeptical about the similarity to EDC Gold never the less it brought many top marketers as well as many past MLM failures involved all in search of the big money earnings. By the looks of Google rankings, press releases, articles, etc.. it looked like many people have made a lot money with passport to wealth.

Even with all this success, the passport to wealth program still has a huge number of affiliates that never did see the big bucks as they where lead to believe when they joined. In talking personally to many of these frustrated marketers it seemed that do to the poor advertising budgets they where not able to make any sales. The high cost of the pay per clicks, solo ads, etc... kept a lot of folks out of the earning game and therefore never really did make any significant amount of money with passport to wealth.

If you are making all the money you deserve with passport to wealth I salute you.

On the other hand, if you're not happy with your results or you would like to improve them without spending a dime in internet advertising I would like you to consider the following:

Veretekk and Leadsomatic are the Most Substantial Lead Generating Systems on Google Today!

Herbalife's Distributor Bonus Award Pays Record $34 Million Herbalife Family Foundation Presents Humanitarian Award LOS ANGELES, Mar 16, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF), a global nutrition and direct selling company, paid out a record $34 million in annual bonuses to independent distributors at its Mark Hughes Bonus Award ceremony in Singapore. The highest check was for a record $2 million, with six checks of $1 million or more. The gala took place at the Suntec International Convention Centre where Herbalife independent distributors from 60 countries were feted at a black-tie affair which followed several days of meetings, celebration and recognition. The total bonus pool eligible for distribution is one percent of retail sales. Chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson and President and COO Greg Probert presided over the award ceremony.

Herbalife Family Foundation

The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) raised a record $600,000 at its annual fundraiser. Later, the HFF presented its Humanitarian Award to Thomas Hayes of Ridgefield, Conn. The award is presented to an Herbalife independent distributor who exemplifies the foundation's mission and through their outstanding involvement and dedication, has made a significant contribution to changing lives worldwide. As a weekly volunteer at the Terrence Cardinal Cooke Health Center (TCCHC), Hayes commutes to the facility in Harlem, N.Y., where he brightens the days of patients too ill or disabled to leave the center. The only center of its kind in New York state, the TCCHC is particularly close to Tom's heart as it provides a home and dignified lifestyle for those living with chronic illnesses - the elderly, severely disabled children, and people with AIDS, Alzheimer's, Huntington's disease or kidney failure.

The Problem

The accolades goon and on for Herbalife International. Discovering health and wellness through proper nutrition is the mission and passion of Herbalife Dealers worldwide. Naturally, when developing a Herbalife business, people are in need of having people to contact in order to share Herbalife. Herbalife, like other mlm health companies such as Goji, Freelife International, Xango, Shaklee and others, face the same problem. Their distributors need to make money with the business. While Herbalife is indeed the leader in health and nutrition, their business model follows the same pattern that most mlm companies have.

There are some options that Herbalife distributors need to be concerned with. Buying expensive, and mostly ineffective leads is an option. Another option is to learn specific techniques and strategies that will empower them with the ability to take their Herbalife websites to the top of major traffic inducing keyword categories on Google. It is a real shame that so many Herbalife distributors will always struggle when it comes to build their businesses,with so many great products at hand they should be able to grow their organization in Huge numbers. ____________________________

10. Vitamark Leads

As stated on their web site and by many of the company top producers this company has the five pillar foundation to help many marketers generate a nice income working from home. "Vitamark is driven by principle and by a commitment to support affiliate success with breakthrough technology, breakthrough products and a breakthrough compensation plan. Vitamark is a principles-driven company with a breakthrough compensation plan that supports independent affiliates through world-class service and cutting edge technology. Their product line features an appealing array of high quality nutritional supplements, consumables that help affiliates build repeat business. Their web-based support model puts superior resources and business management tools at the affiliates fingertips, while our weekly commission payout insures that affiliates can see real results in as little as a week.

Vitamark combines four incredible breakthroughs. The definition of a breakthrough: an unexpected stroke of genius that changes the way we look at everything. Sometimes breakthroughs are monumental leaps; sometimes they are adjustments that seem small at first, then reveal their transforming power. The key to success is to find a breakthrough and then make it your own. If youre looking for a breakthrough, Vitamark has four to choose from!" Even with all these great products, great comp plan. etc... many Vitamark affiliates are struggling building a sizeable organization in order to cash in the big checks. One of the downfall has to be do to the inability to find enough people outside their family and friends list who wants to join their Vitamark business.

The lack of targeted Leads is always the failure of many affiliates involved in good MLM businesses including Vitamark, concentrating only on buying surveyed leads, traffic exchanges, emailing solo ads, hosting and posting to FFA sites, classified ads, etc... it's not the way to build wealth as many Vitamark affiliates are finding out on a regular base. The best way for any affiliate to succeed with Vitamark would be by learning how to generate your own Targeted Leads and Qualified Prospects who would eventually see the potential in the Vitamark opportunity. Every Vitamark affiliate deserves to be successful with their own business. This is why we suggest the following.

11. Acai Plus Leads

I drank Acai Plus for about three months and I can assure you that the product is fantastic, you can feel the extra energy within a couple of days.I even promoted the business opportunity for a while, my sponsor up line wouldsend me opportunity seekers leads on a weekly base, they provided me with a powerful letters series and an autoresponder included. All for free. That was greatly appreciated on their part, however after calling and emailing these leads for a while I realized that my Acai business wasnt getting any where. Thats probably the reason so many other Acai Plus affiliates give up on the business building part, in order to keep most marketers interested in any program in my opinion a person has offset their monthly recurring fees and be in positive cash flow ASAP.

Acai has a great product, a fantastic pay plan, and yet very few people are really exploding their incomes, for most affiliates unfortunately the buying leads approach to build their Acai business its not producing the expected results. Generating the proper leads it would certainly improve the sign up rate for all Acai Plus affiliates, there is a system in place that would allow anyone to promote their business more effectively on Google without spending a dime.

These two systems, Veretekk and Leadsomatic, are for people just like yourself to empower you to become successful in your online business.

12. EDC Gold Leads

You are attempting to build a business online with EDC Gold correct? I have been in the back office at EDC Gold where they talk about you buying leads for the program. Doing all kind of pay per clicks, solo ads, etc.. I am not really sure how much those leads cost, but I am sure that those leads are just simply that, a lead. You see, I am a search engine reverse marketing master and a lead generating specialist as well. I know the intricate details involved in promoting effectively on Google. I know how to obtain top positions on Google for websites without paying Google Boys a dime. I have been doing it for a while and I can assure you that it does work.

My name is Leo Silvestri. I am a search engine specialist and a reverse marketing master. In other words, I can show you how to get your EDC Gold web site on the first page on Google in less that two weeks on any keyword without spending a dime in pay per clicks. I am one of the top earners in the Jaguar Marketing System, my success comes from Veretekk, Leadsomatic, and from my own system called C Panel Marketing. My methods are presently used by many EDC Gold, Passport to Wealth, Emerald Passport, Global Resort Network, Jaguar Marketing System, The Secrets of the Big Dogs, and many other high ticket programs affiliates.

I am also a lead generation expert. I am very well accustomed as to how the whole process about leads works. You see, all leads are generated in exactly the same way. You find a lead capture page somewhere during your surfing on Google. The lead capture pages may offer you a free gift just for you signing up for more information. Once you place your name, email address, phone number and the best time to call, you have just become a lead for someone at some point. These are the leads that you are paying money for.

I Know All About Leads.

The fact is, the routine is fairly simple. I suppose that you being an EDC Gold affiliate, could simply buy leads that you think will pay off in big rewards. Have you called some of these supposedly fresh, double opt-in, telephone surveyed leads that are supposedly geared to your EDC Gold business. These lead jockeys are telling you that your ROI on these Leads is amazing and you will make significant money just by buying their so called specified leads just for EDC Gold. Come on, give me a break. Some lead company has produced those leads in the same way, sold those same leads that you buy perhaps many times and often, when you call these people, they don't even have a clue as to what you are talking about. Sounds familiar, right? Of course it does, because I have been there and done that myself as well. Look, I am not here to sell you leads. I am here to show you a way out of your leads slavery.

Buying Leads is Modern Day Slavery. Look, leads companies today know that you are going to have a very hard time unless you are buying leads. They are going to tell you all kinds of lies to get you to buy their specifically designed health oriented EDC Gold Leads to build your exclusive EDC Gold Business. They may even tell you that they are the only ones that have these special leads for you to buy. I say utter hogwash. There is no such thing as a yours only lead unless you produce those leads yourself. That is what I am going to show you how to do today in this EDC Gold Leads article.

Leads brokers want you to think that they have the market cornered on leads generating. They want you to believe that unless you buy leads and invest huge amount of money in pay per clicks and solo ads you will never build a successfully EDC Gold affiliate. I say to those people, come on, give me a break. I will share with you today some techniques that will empower you to generate your own targeted EDC Gold Leads for a very low price. You can produce leads that are only used by you and no one else. Your ROI is going to be incredible. These people will know you when you call them. How is that for a switch? Imagine, no more rejection when you call that person on the phone! Veretekk and Leadsomatic are the Most Substantial Lead Generating Systems on Google Today!

13. Xooma Leads.

Xooma is an incredible product. Just imagine just drinking water, to improve your health? I have been drinking Xooma X20 water for years. Its a simple way to make positive changes in your health. In speaking about buying leads to promote my Xooma business, well, that is another matter. You see, I have bought leads, many dollars worth of leads, but in all actuality, they were non-productive, expensive and I saw absolutely no ROI on my investment.

The facts are clear. Most MLM companies operate in the same manner. You know the old drill, right? Just buy leads from me to build your business? Let me ask you a question here. How much money have you spent in building your Xooma business? Hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of dollars? Are you sick of the same old ways of building a profitable business on Google? How about if I brought your attention to a new way of building a business? How about buying customers, instead of leads? Would that be a revolutionary approach to the same old problem that all MLMers face?

Hey, fill in the contact form and come to our meetings on Saturday afternoons. You will find just the ticket on how to approach your business on the net. By the way, keep drinking your Xooma, just make money in an entirely new manner from now on! http://itsgoodbusiness.net Every Xooma affiliate deserves to be successful with their own business, sometimes just buying leads it's not going to do it. This is why we suggest the following.

Veretekk and Leadsomatic are the Most Substantial Lead Generating Systems on Google Today! With over six thousands paid subscribers this community is the elite of internet marketers where you can generate your own very responsive Xooma leads without spending a small fortune elsewhere. These two systems, Veretekk and Leadsomatic, are for people just like yourself to empower you to become successful in your online business. These systems could make the difference between your success and your failure in Xooma, or in any other business you choose to promote. You may be asking yourself this question, who is this guy talking about lead generation, about leads, all about leads and producing your very own leads?

1. Move on from "Making Money Online" Blogging Myth
MoneyMashup Updates for Auto-pilot Income

If you have been blogging for any length of time you will come to find it to be a lousy money making proposition. I continue to blog essentially for three or four reasons now. Ultimately you need several blogs to use for building links. You also need niche specific blogs to promote your niche websites.

Other things that keep me blogging are the social aspects, the fact I can use blogs to voice my opinions unedited by others, and blogging allows me to practice my writing skills. Heck, I might even pass on some of the valuable lessons I have learned, and save some people on their learning curve time.

This post started out as an update on my Affiliate Mashup Sites as part of a beta program being developed by Mark Wielgus at 45n5.com, so here goes. I now have 11 "mashupmony" websites in the hopper.

The two newest being HDTV411.info and MiniPConline.info. Since we all have a fat chance of making any money blogging, you might as well avoid all of the Internet tripe, and learn how to market online. These beta sites are not too pretty, but I did build ten in less than a week.


2. Mashups for Money - Marketing on The Internets with The Google
I have learned that blogging is critical to marketing online, but not a means to an end. Learning the ropes of Internet marketing is far more important. There are only a few ways to make money in the off line world, and so it is the same in the online world, according to the prophecy.

It's always going to be trading time for money (labor), buy something that appreciates and then sell it for a gain (investments), or sell something (products and services). Most people can't get their heads wrapped around these simple concepts. BTW, the virtual world offers all three of the same opportunities.

The other part of the equation is learning how to automate each step of the process. This is where the Internet gurus get you, and most of them are not even making money in a traditional monetizing scheme. They are just selling you a load of crap about how to write blogs, get traffic, and sell ads, paid posting, or sell stupid Get Rich Quick schemes, software, CDs, ebooks, and other materials.

Well, what are you going to do with that traffic? Sell your readers and visitors another load of the same money making BS with rehashed information and How-to-Guides? Those that can "do", and those that can't "teach". This is why there are no big secrets. You have to learn how to "market something" online. It's going to be your time for cash, a gain on an investment, or selling a product or service, period.

This is where mashup websites come into play. Fully automated...find a niche...load up some keywords...and presto you have a viable selling site using the power of the Internets, The Google, and tried and true affiliate marketing.

Here are a few of my first mashup sites. Some of these may not yet be indexed, as I have just built these sites in the last two days.

Best Laptop Cases
Wind Power Products
Best Water Filters
Gas Motor Scooter Info
Electric Power Scooters
Best Rugged Laptops
Online Solar Power
Wi-Fi Tech and Gadgets
Unlocked Cell Phones ETC

Stay in touch, come back to this blog and leave comments, and let me know if you want to learn how to do this. My SOHO blogging has been way light...but then there is a reason.


3. SpiderWeb Will Rock the Web
Whoa Baby! This blog is getting whiskers. Anyone that has followed my path will know that I now have been heavy into educating myself about Internet marketing. Thus, the reason for no posts.

But I have been busy and on assignment. One of the keepers is a beta program known as The SpideWeb Marketing System. If you have seen it in passing, but did not consider it...time to time warp for a reconsider. I think this is going to be the next big monetizing scheme for the web.


Many have tried to create a self-sustained or auto-pilot system. This puppy started out with 12 streams of income, but now has 22. I have a gut feeling it's going to be a winner.

It still is in beta, so do get in now to position yourself. Leave a comment if you want to join my team. It's no cost, but I also don't need any slackers. Yes, I will drag you along, but you have to do exactly as I say and follow a plan of action.

Check out my blog on the subject, too, at "The SpiderWeb System Information and Reviews".


4. EZ-20-NOW Reviews and Review Blogs
Time to crank up the older blogs for some testing of marketing ideas and some Google juice. I have spent the first part of 2008 reviewing online marketing ideas. I continue to weed out the chaff and look for simple ideas. Solid and quick programs that can be developed and promoted with SSM and SMO.

The vision is still to be a sovereign road warrior with a rugged laptop and a cell phone. The first program I am testing is Easy-20-Now, or EZ20NOW. I have actually started a review blog. Drop by at EZ20NOW Reviews and leave a comment and extend a linking hand. This program is cheap, simple, and does not have a scam feel with all the hype. I am doing my homework before I get too deep.

You may want to watch all my blogs as I pull it all together. I spent the better part of 2007 just reading, researching, and learning how to market online. Yes Virginia, social media marketing does work, but it takes a long time, and the learning curve is steep.


5. How to Produce 365 Videos in One Year
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you have been involved in the blogosphere for long, you know that many bloggers are gravitating towards video aka Video blogs, Vlogs, Vidcasts, or a Video Podcast.

This is a heads up on Mark Wielgus at 45n5.com. Mark is on top of online trends, and I am here to tell you that he researches, tests, and reports on things you will come to appreciate on a daily basis. All the information in this post was gleaned from 45n5. My belief is that Mark combines some marketing savvy with geekdom knowhow. He even writes simple, but useful utility programs and then gives them away for free on the blog. Here is a recent link to one he dubs "Keyword Scrubber".

45n5.com has turned into one of the few blogs I simply must check out on a daily basis. Now Mark is committed to deciphering Affiliate Marketing as a top priority. Another project he is combining with this effort is his personal mission to produce and post a video every day in 2008.

I think with 365 videos in the planning, his little experiment is one to watch for trends, plus the techniques, tips and tricks he is bound to uncover along the way. So, if you want to make 365 videos in one year, watch this guy in 2008 and I think you will learn something.



6. Prioritize Your Blogging for 2008
(Archived in: Social Media Marketing Social Media Optimization)

Welcome to the New Year! I have been spending the last week planning for 2008, which has included changes to my blogging style. If you follow my blogs, you know that I have decided to concentrate on Digital Nomads and The Rugged Notebooks Blog as my main focus for blogging, and with less frequent posting to this blog and The Sovereign Journey.

This is not for a lack or loss of interest, but merely a necessity of time management. Regardless, my blog niche revolves around the central theme of mobility and using technology to be independent. So, you can always check back here and/or catch my more frequent updates at the Rugged Notebooks or Digital Nomads sites. My plan this year is to move to private domains.

One thing I have been doing is writing more focused posts...themed, if you will, or a series of posts on a subject of interest. Recently, this has had a major slant towards telecom, and in particular new gadgets like MagicJack and VoIP telephoney solutions like Google GrandCentral.

I am finding that being more focused on a particular subject area makes it easier and more interesting to research, test, review, and write. I think my readers appreciate it a well and it is helping in the SERPS.

If you are still blogging, drop me a line and let me know how you are getting on. There seems to have been a drop in the number of friends I met online in 2007 that have continued to blog, or scaled back like I have. -Digital Nomad


7. Twelve Step Program for Email Addicts
(Archived in: Online Usability Reviews)

I saw this over at the BigString 2.0 website and thought it was good advice. BigString is an interesting concept in itself, which I will let you discover for yourself. These 12 items have been edited somewhat, so not to get dinged for duplicate content. There were some typos in the original text anyway. Enjoy.

1. Do not send email when you are angry. Wait until you calm down before you send that email. Feelings and thoughts can be difficult to interpret and easily misconstrued.

2. Never send a sarcastic email that could be taken out of context. Sarcasm and email do not mix. You can easily offend someone in an email without intent to do so.

3. Do not send email gossip. You never know where the email will end up. Just make a commitment to yourself not to participate in any gossip.

4. Never end significant relationships via email. Email is the equivalent of an electronic paper trail. Not good for any sour ending, whether business or personal.

5. If you don't want your boss or coworkers to see it, better not send that email from work.

6. Never put anything in writing that may come back to haunt you. A good overall policy. Not just for email.

7. Never, ever, hit ‘Reply to All’ when you just want to send an email to one individual.

8. Don’t email pictures of yourself to others. Especially, online acquaintances and complete strangers.

9. Don’t make promises or commitments via email that you cannot or will not keep.

10. When you send attachments, be sure that you have selected the correct files and documents.

11. Good advice from New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, “Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email.”

12. Try BigString recallable email. If you do happen to make errors...the recallable, erasable, and non-forwardable features will help to correct such mistakes.



8. How to Build 10-Minute Affiliate Website Mashups
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you are searching for ways to be innovative with your online marketing, then here is another plug for many of the ideas featured at 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. No, this is not a paid post.

This is the good stuff, it's an addendum to the post on "30 Websites in 30 Days", and Mark calls this his YouTube-Ebay-Amazon Affiliate Website Mashup Thingy.



I have had a few email exchanges with Mark, and these are a few of his cautionary thoughts by way of how he has explained the ideas behind how it should work. Most people will not succeed with this mashup concept, or any other website scripting without the underlying concept and knowledge (or experience from learning) of how to build such a niche site.

Cranking out "out of the box" and rubber stamp solutions is what everybody else is doing. Doing the same thing that everyone else is doing online will bring the same results...which happens to be not making any money online. This also happens to mirror Einstein's theory of insanity, and he was no dummy. It's also making many people wealthy for some pretty worthless online information products.

So, if you use the script out of the box, most of your money will be made from luck or successful keyword research (aka) what words and topics you use to build these niche minisites in mass production.

Now is the time to learn. Take the time to consider doing it right. - Digital Nomad

A 25 Year Old Entrepreneur Making a Living Online from Home


You probably have read about or heard of The Rich Jerk and Chis X of Day Job Killer. If not you better stop and do a Google search right now. About 2 years ago, Holly Mann, a young mother started to successfully market directly against high profile Internet marketing gurus like these guys.

Living in a foreign country with no job and few resources, Holly decided she could research, design, and deliver a kinder and gentler approach to online marketing. Evidently she found her niche selling "How-To" information, because she has become successful in a short period of time (well, a couple of years).

"Honest Riches 2" is a 95 page proven guide. Holly shows all the techniques she has used to make money online through affiliate programs starting with no website and no start-up money, then on to free websites that can easily be setup with little or no experience, including free advertising that most people don't know or think about.

Yes, it seems possible to make money online and work from home just about anywhere (Holly lives in Thailand), but don't quit your day job just yet. You need a system and you need the right tools and knowledge to be successful. Changing your career is a life altering decision.

Before taking the leap, do plenty of due diligence and adequate research for information and resources about starting an online business and becoming an online entrepreneur. This e-book is geared for beginners, but is a valuable resource for all online marketers. No "get-rich-quick" schemes here....like any real business endeavor, it involves some effort and some work. But you will learn strategies and techniques to start making money right away.

10. John Chow Calls It Quits on Agloco
(Archive in: Weblogs and Business)

After many attempts at beating a dead horse, everyone involved in the Agloco fiasco can now uncross their fingers. It ain't gonna happen. Even John Chow has finally admitted defeat along with almost 30,000 signed up in his Agloco network.


Here is a partial screenshot of his last post on the subject, and here is a link to the post about the Agloco demise at TechCruch. Like John says...it shows that all those MBAs don't always muster up success, even the second time around. For posterity, watch the video on the Agloco viewbar attributes, and think about all the gurus that were on board for this.



11. How to Build 30 Websites in 30 Days
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Online Usability)

It may sound implausible, but it is not impossible. Follow this Digital Nomad and you know that just feeding the blogs is not going to cut it anymore. Blogging should be part of your online marketing network, but not a diversion.

I have been searching heavy for the folks that are making it online and not the wannabes. One such source is 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. This guy tells it straight. You have to hunt an peck to find the good stuff, and you will have to piece it together, but I think a good start is on this website.

Mark will show you how to find a niche, create a website in 10 minutes, and then shove it in the pipeline with some SEO tricks. Theoretically, there is no reason why you could not do this everyday for a month and then have 30 minisites up and running for affiliate programs in thirty days. That's if you want to have a website between you and the merchant.



I am finding that you maybe don't even need a website to market affiliate programs, but you do have to commit to spending some money for Google Adword campaigns. Better have a pad and pen ready.

There is always something to learn. Take the time to learn something new each day. - Digital Nomad

13. Stop Feeding Your Blogs with Endless Content
(Archived in: Social Media Marketing Social Media Optimization)

I wanted to make a quick update in reference to writing and submitting Pillar Articles to article directories vs. the chore of "Feeding Blogs" with endless content. This test is progressing nicely. I have submitted 5 pillar articles since about the middle of last month.

I know this is working, as I have been posting less to all the blogs I author in varying degrees as a test. This has not affected the blog traffic much at all. Traffic is actually improving, according to StatCounter and Alexa for two of the blogs that I author. One averaging over 10 page views per visitor at the time of this writing.


It may also be that I am now writing better, more focused content, since I do not feel pressured to try and post something every day for the sake of trying to post so frequently.

The five recent pillar articles have been downloaded for publication over 100 times in less than 30 days, and this is just for GoArticles. I periodically will submit similar articles to several of the more popular article directories.


OK. You can "stop feeding your blogs" now, and you also can stop making endless comments on popular blogs, trying to get made a "Fav" on Technorati, and otherwise making the meter go up on metrics that have much ado about nothing when it comes to quality traffic.

I think submitting to article directories will also create better traffic with better long-term and permanent links.

14. A Cheap Way to Secure Any Domain Dot Com
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Online Usability)

Here is possibly a way to secure a domain name when you are in a hurry, and at the worst an extra free email account. You can use your own domain to create a personalized email address for you, a business, or anything else through an AOL service called My eAddress. You have up to 100 invites for others to get their own email address on your domain. The free service is called AOL My eAddress.

Just a few comments and cautions from the TOS. You have to give out quite a bit of personal information, like a valid cell phone number in the US or Canada. Additionally, if you use the "Bring your Own Domain" option, you can use any hosting company you like while using free email service from AOL. However, if you choose the "Popular Custom Domain" option, you will be stuck with AOL as the administrator for the domain, so you will not be able to host a website at that domain.

This could be a catch 22 for your future plans, so please read the "Terms of Service" carefully at AOL My eAddress.

15. Planting Seeds with Pillar Articles
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Weblogs and Business)

Bouncing around the blogosphere, you may find that many of the well known bloggers are coming to the same conclusions that I already have. Get back to basics, don't worry about PR, Technorati, or Alexa ranking...and concentrate on traffic.

For some people this still means spending horrific amounts of time networking and hitting the social network scene. I am more convinced that writing pillar articles for submission to article directories is a much better approach.

This involves spending more time on research and organizing your thoughts far enough into the future to determine how you can approach a particular subject. You need to write for yourself, but you also need to write about things other people will have an interest in reading.

In many ways this is much better than the prospect of having to write posts just for the sake of writing a post. I know at many times people get a writing block, or just get bored, or even fed up with the notion that they have to "feed the blog" (I think I just coined a useful phrase).

Some of the additional rewards of pillar articles, is that your writing will be more involved and engaging, you will be building authority in one or more areas of personal interest or a niche, and you will be expanding your own knowledge base as you research and process information.

Additionally, you will have a greater chance of having your articles republished elsewhere on blogs and mentioned in references in such a manner that they are permanently linked back to your blogs and websites. Go plant some seeds for future traffic building, and resist the urge to "Feed the Blog".

16. Google Page Rank Drops Like A Rock for SEO Stars and Network Gamers
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Weblogs and Business)

The Death of Page Rank! Everyone is complaining about their PR, or Google Page Rank dropping. I say, "Get over it and move on". As I wrote in a recent post about traffic strategy, it is becoming more obvious all the time that all these ranking metrics really prove is nothing...unless you want to post and brag about how you make the meters move.

Just like Technorati, or Alexa ranking, PR has little or nothing to do with traffic and successful marketing. Anything ill-gotten is just that, "ill-gotten". So, if you have spent months or years gaming the system, don't be surprised to see what your true worth might be in the Blogosphere and the Arpanet.

Take a deep breath, get back to work...and try to learn how to add value to your online projects and for your readers and visitors. Like the book says "Do What You Love, and The Money Will Follow."

I think that all this nonsense is amazing to the true online marketers that know how to push the buttons to make things really work. It once again boils down to Niche, Traffic, Monetization, with the actual "Product" bringing up the rear.

Maybe backwards of how the analog world works, but after all it is a "Market of One" when it come to the Internet and online marketing. Build a better mouse trap and you will be found.

Besides, you really can't toss rocks at Google for trying to plug holes in the dam by making the PR rank more honest. More fun for gamers, too, who just have a burning desire for shortcuts and beating the system.

Now we can all look forward to posts on new theories, new techniques, new ebooks, new widgets, new podcasts, new videos, new ezines, new seminars, new gurus, and new yearly conventions. Page Rank is alive and well, it just no longer is what it had become.

Apologies in advance for all the cliches. - Digital Nomad

17. What Do Your Phone Numbers Spell?
(Archived in: Social Media Marketing Related Miscellany)

It's the middle of the weekend, so no heavy thought riddled posts today. Just some fun and games to let your mind roam a little. Maybe this should become a habitual weekend exercise to post about. Find something that is lighthearted, but still interesting and write a quick post about it.

I have had this bookmarked for some time, and today finally tried out PhoneSpell.org. Oddly enough, my telephone number does not spell anything. What are the chances of that. I tried both 7-Digit and 10-Digit combinations. This is no joke. Mouseover and click to see larger in a new window.


Oh well, give PhoneSpell a link up and see what you come up with for your numbers. It may give you an idea for a new blog or domain name, jog your memory for a new marketing approach, or just make you laugh. Maybe we can resurrect the notion of the "enum" network.

Sometimes we just need some levity. While you are there, check out the Voice Nation link at the bottom, and help PhoneSpell pay some bills.

18. Article Directory Submissions vs. Frequent Blog Posting to Drive Traffic
(Archived in: Ecommerce SOHO Weblogs and Business)

Are you lost in the blogosphere? Tired of posting and timestamps? I have been doing some experimenting with the different blogs that I write, including analysis and research about blogs versus websites. This has involved researching the current methods to create traffic, which everyone and their brother has rehashed in posts and how-to SEO ebooks and seminars.

You know, like leaving comments on blogs, posting frequently, writing interesting posts, viral contests, linkbating, joining social networks, etc. These all do work. The caveat is that if you are using some of the monetization schemes that everyone writes about, you first have to have a presence with regard to a Techorati rank, and Alexa rank, or both to get in the game.

The long and the short is that both of these ranking systems have little to do with making money in my mind. I personally have no interest in PPP, PPC, PPA, or any of the advertising schemes that require tons of time and effort. It is a double edge razor blade in my opinion, because you have to spend an unbelievable amount of time socializing and creating backlinks. It also is why bloggers burn out fast.

Technorati is notoriously bad for not sending traffic. And get this...everyone that measures traffic knows that bloggers don't click on ads or text links. So what is the point of pandering to other bloggers in the blogosphere to get their traffic. Even Darren Rowse has recently admitted that Adsense income was no longer worth cluttering his Problogger blog up with ads.

I can almost guarantee that if you spend much of your time in forums and social networks to gain popularity, you will have little to show for it except some nice ranks and bragging rights. All this indicates that it's time to get back to the idea of selling a niche product or service (a real product that fills a need) using a static website and driving traffic to that website. That is what online marketing is about. By best accounts, only a few dozen bloggers make a full time living out of 100 million blogs. Not a very good business model if you ask me.

A good Technorati and Alexa rank may be giving you the illusion that you are successful. The same is true for frequent posting. I have deliberately cut back on posting to see what would happen. You guessed it...Technorati and Alexa ranks drop like a rock, and very quickly. The effort to maintain your rankings is an endless nightmare of posts to blogs, and posting comments to social networks and forums. It is like being a shark, stop swimming and you die.

I am beginning to think a better approach is to use your blogging as part of a network traffic strategy to create desirable traffic. I also am going back to writing "pillar articles" for article directory submission. These end up as permanent links and keep on giving for years to come.

There are only four things that matter in online marketing, and they are in this order of importance:

1. Niche
2. Traffic
3. Monetization
4. Product

Notice that the product is the least important thing. Unless, you just write for kicks or the truly original purpose of blogging...to keep a journal, my money is on investing time online that will produce recurring revenue and better return on your investment of both time and money.

What are your thoughts or experience?

19. Consider Buying A Rugged Laptop
Author: John Smith

If You Work in Difficult Conditions, Then A Rugged Laptop
May Be Just What the Doctor Ordered


Rugged laptops are not cheap, you may know that already since you are interested in them. And they also don't come with the same configuration as the other commercial laptops you may be used to. What you get instead with a rugged laptop, is the possibility and flexibility to work in a lot of tough locations on difficult weather. That is the real value of a rugged laptop, value that earns all the money you may have paid for it.

If you work in a place where you find one of the below listed conditions, then you should really consider buying a rugged laptop:

Liquid All Over (including on your rugged laptop)

Rugged laptops have sealed keyboards that won't let the water or any other liquid to seep inside. Also, the ports that you will find on a ruggedized laptop are usually protected by efficient covers that keep the liquid away from connectors so you won't experience any unpleasant situations in wet environments.

Strong and Persistent Vibrations

Rugged laptops were designed with this issue in mind, they have strong components, a hard drive that resists to strong vibrations, things that commercial laptops don't do. Put a normal laptop in a vibrating environment and you may have the surprise of loosing data. Not with a rugged laptop.

They are also tested for...

Drops, Drops, Drops

During a work day you may drop your rugged laptop more than once. You should know that all the components inside it are strong and tested to withstand a strong impact: CPU, hard drive, optical devices, etc. The rugged laptop case is also strong not easy to break.

Electromagnetic Fields

Commercial notebooks won't perform well near an electromagnetic area such as radio transmissions, power generators, etc. A rugged laptop was actually designed to work in such environments, environments where commercial notebooks may actually stop working.

20. Understanding SOHO Shoutouts
(Archived in: Shoutouts Social Media Marketing)

Do you have a list of bloggers you like and want to recognize? This is what my Saturday Shoutouts project is all about.

This is where I give people a mini review as a mention in a weekly post, and then Stumble, Netscape, use other bookmarks, and write a few comments to their blog posts.

This week will be fairly brief with four bloggers instead of the targeted five blogs I attempt to call out each Saturday afternoon. Charlene is recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month by doing a pink overhaul at her Casual Keystrokes blog. Scott is happy to be an S.O.B. at Finding Your Marbles (great name for a blog). Then David points out the marketing value of YouTube in a post on Social Media Optimization, and there is Ilker at The Thinking Blog, who is always thinking for us.

Leave a comment and let me know what you are up to with your blogging efforts.
