Why?

Well the blog is the hub of your online activities a focal point for your customers and readers to catch up with you and your activities, special offers. And most importantly free advice (such as this).

The blog also acts as capture machine for subscribers e-mail addresses so that you can inform them when new content has been added. Did you notice the optin box and the newsletter list when this blog loaded?

There are a number of different blogging platforms which have there own advantages and disadvantages.

Free from Google is Blogger, I have used Blogger for product review sites such as John Thornhill’s One Month Mentor Training.  Blogger blogs are very easy to setup and easy to use and can be customised and monetised. They are mostly used for personal blogs and many of the Blogger blogs are exactly that.

The great advantage is that Blogger is free. The big disadvantage is that you do not own the blog so Google could remove it at any point with absolutely no comeback. You will loose at the content you have posted and all the hard work will be to no avail.

The real biggy is WordPress there are literally thousands of themes, plugins apps and widgets that you can use to customise WordPress, so no two sites will be exactly the same. At WordPress.com you can claim a free blog and take advantage the problem is that the blog will always have .wordpress.com as part of the URL.

There are some excellent examples of free blogs you can check out on the home page of WordPress.com, again this blog can be pulled at any time and you will have to start again.

The best all round solution to building your own brand or business is to have your own hosting and install your own WordPress blog on it. This has massive advantages over the free solutions.

• You can choose your unique URL to reflect your business or brand, this website uses WordPress and although it is starting to look dated I can change this very easily by updating the theme, adding plugins and widgets to make the visitor experience a good one.
• I own the blog.
• It has my name in the URL not blogspot or WordPress which of the two looks the most professional?

WordPress is very easy to setup and customise, there are lots of guides and tutorials available on the internet. But this can be very confusing if it is the first time you have installed and used WordPress. You could pay some one to do it all for you, or there are many excellent products on how to use WordPress most of which come with a heavy price tag.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a product that could show you how to do all of this for just a few bucks. Well there is, so here’s the skinny of it I just came across something that you will want to check out quick before the price goes up drastically.

It is WordPress blog building at its finest by a guy Lane Bowers who’s been in the trenches learning what it’s like to build blogs for perfect results every time. More informaion HERE.

Take a look at just one of Lane’s blog video training reviews; Lane takes on more of the role of what you would expect a good friend to be like if you asked him to help you get started on creating your own WordPress blog.

It is as if he asked you to pull up a chair at his desk and he was walking you through what he does daily to continue growing his Blog.

He keeps it very basic and assumes that you have had no prior knowledge before he begins teaching you. If you are new to Internet Marketing then this would be an excellent starting point for you, as his Course continues teaching he includes items such as how to add a Gravatars to your Posts, changing the Header and the Site’s Background, setting up email accounts, etc. etc.

All in all, a very good WordPress Course! Highly recommended Rob…

Firstly that it is really easy to do AND to make money doing it…. But, why is there always a but? Amazon is very strict about what they will accept as content so it is important to get your Kindle books complying with the Amazon Terms of Service.

It is easy to fall foul of this and have books removed or your account terminated, this happened to thousands of Kindle sellers last month. The problem duplicate content; too many people uploading the same content.

How has this happened? Well how many e-mails have you had in recent months with some “Guru” selling gigabytes of PLR materials that you can use to compile your own books? Buyers were just uploading compilations of the PLR articles. Result massive amounts of the same content and a very poor customer experience.

The other problem was content that was freely available on the web being sold on Kindle. Amazon don’t like that, result take a sledge hammer to the problem. There is a better way, the way I use to make 800+ sales a month through Kindle.

Revised, expanded and improved “The Kindle Cash Machine” Version 2!

Bang up to date; simply copy my plan to a profitable Kindle business that pays you on the dot every single month. Learn why Format 8 and the Kindle Fire open up a whole new set of possibilities for making money. Included is my Kindle template the one I use for my own books, plus “The Amazon Cash Machine”.

Make money promoting similar Kindle books or any Amazon product for that matter. I show you how you can do this absolutely FREE.

How to Get Rich

By

Felix Denis

No it’s not one of the increasing numbers of self help books that “show you how to make a million in 10 seconds flat.” The book is described by Felix as an anti-self help book, its purpose to discourage you from even trying to get rich.

Laced with example of Felix’ wit, poetry and gob smacking anecdotes of his rise through the ranks of the magazine publishing business Felix shares his successes and disasters in equal measures and book pulls no punches in doing so.

How to Get Rich acts as both warning and inspiration for those determined to start out on the rocky road to wealth, it is joy to read and contains sage wisdom but none more so that this:

“Continue to weave new baskets”

OR

“Don’t put all your eggs in the one basket”

How many of us have been guilty of doing just that? I certainly have and have been burnt a few times particularly with eBay. Remember the Digital Delivery ban where a large number of businesses selling eBooks and software where wiped out virtually over night.

Or, have eBay changes had a detrimental effect of your business? It happened with mine as eBay changed the rules and decide to ban some of my products (which are freely available for sale on other eBay sites and high street stores). Some of my other products now failed to get on the all important first page because of eBay changes.

The mistake I made was simple; eBay was my strategy and all my eggs in one basket. So I started to make new baskets. I started to produce my own products starting with Plugin Auction Profits my strategy for trading on eBay and Amazon. I started to sell specialist books on Amazon which I buy for a few dollars at a time and flip for a greater price.

I now provide digital content for Amazon’s Kindle eBook platform; I have published my own physical book using Create Space POD (print on demand) service. I collected all these ways of making an extra income together as blueprints and produced 12 Roads to Success which became my first Warrior Forum Special Offer or WSO.

I am now branching out and creating websites for clients based on WordPress, mobile websites and other marketing services. The beauty is that if one of these sources of income dries up or disappears due to changes in Terms of Service I will still have lots of others.

Will I stop Weaving Baskets? No way, and I suggest you don’t stop either.

Rob

Amazon really has created a revolution in publishing recent figures from Amazon tell the tale. For every 100 physical books sold on Amazon there are 105 Kindle books sold. It is estimated that Amazon has sold in excess of 8 Million Kindles. Now that creates an opportunity, because Amazon needs content and lots of it. This is how we will start to make money.

Amazon has levelled the playing field for small publishers (that’s you and me) by allowing anyone to publish on Kindle and Create Space Amazon’s Publish On Demand or POD service) publishing your own content is completely free, provided the content complies with their Terms of Service (TOS). That removes all the barriers to self publishing that has stopped so many people from succeeding.

The traditional route of approaching publishers suffering rejection often for years on end is over. This has allowed some people to make their entire income publishing on Kindle.

But most of us will perhaps never write a novel.

So here’s how we can do it, we will be publishing Non Fiction Information Products (books) and we will provide outstanding value and content. At first glance this may look little different from selling Information Products on eBay. With Kindle all the delivery is done for you electronically, there are no products to ship. It is a real set and forget business. You can also sell the same content on eBay and deliver as a physical product yourself.

There are lots of really HOT markets on Kindle so we will take a look at these, surprisingly the “Make Money Online” products are NOT big sellers so it may be better to steer clear of these, at least in the beginning until we have learned to market our other products correctly.

HERE ARE SOME HOT KINDLE MARKETS:

• Health and Fitness
• Diet
• Cooking
• Technology
• Current Events
• How to Guides

All of these are excellent areas to target as all these niches have lots of sub-niches so that we can really provide targeted content.

I have prepared a special report showing how I went from Zero Sales to 1,500 sales in less than 5 months. I am giving away this report completely free. Grab your copy now.

It is not only possible to start off small with a limited amount of cash i.e. A few dollars and still see a creditable profit on the investment. It’s about finding these little opportunities that make money and simply doing a rinse and repeat operation.

Refining the system so that it works on a continual basis for you. But where do you find these opportunities when everyone wants to charge you an arm and a leg for the ‘next secret system’.

There really are lots of different ways of making money online, but the problem is that most people keep chasing the next shiny pebble, the next profit breakthrough or the next big opportunity that is hyped to the hilt by the Gurus. The reason that this works for the Guru’s is that everyone is looking for the big payday the several thousand dollar day immediately. The promise of push button profits is very tempting so people continually invest their hard earned cash in these systems.

The truth of the matter is there are lots of little opportunities that still exist but that most people have forgotten about in these days of the Internet.

In this complete business plan I will show you the system that I use to earn myself another income by placing inexpensive (or even free) small ads in newspapers and magazines.

The great part of this idea is that works in every niche:

• You do not have to hold any stock,
• You do not ship any stock.
• You never deal with customers.
• All you have to do is bank the regular payment cheques.
• It takes only a few minutes a day to run this.
• Work in Multiple Niches selling multiple products.

Here is the complete step by step business plan exactly as I run it. No fluff, no filler and no padding. Just first class instruction and advice. This system could have you making money in days. Oh and the price, I could charge a lot more for this but to my valued subscribers it’s a measly $7. Plus you can buy the Resell and Master Resell Rights to this product for only $20 and $47 respectively a product to sell yourself immediately.

When I told one of my friends that I made money from Small Ads he laughed and told me it was so dated no one makes money from Small Ads these days what you need is a website and sell from there. Great if you can get anyone to find it or want to continually drive traffic to it, too much like hard work for me I think!

In the old days I would have take this nugget of advice as sage wisdom. But not anymore you see this was the same friend that told me that I could never make any money from eBay.

So check out Make a Killer Income from Small Ads and add kick start your business today. Rob………….
