The Truth About Success Stories Of Online Businesses

Saturday 27 September 2008 @ 1:18 am

Have you ever wondered about all those internet success stories you’ve read about?

Ever wondered what makes those people so special?

Are they smarter than you? Do they work harder? Do they know something you don’t know?

I used to wonder myself, until recently. I found a special report by Darren Salkeld…a former factory worker turned underground internet millionaire.

In his report he shares the real secret to making money online…he calls it having an Instant Income Plan.

And when I finally “got” what he was saying it was like the light bulb went off in my head.

For the first time, the whole making money thing made sense.

If you’re serious about wanting to change your life and live the life you’ve always wanted then I suggest you read Darren’s special report right now.

Get Access To The Report here:

Darren’s got an amazing story. In the report he reveals how he went from over $75,000 in credit card debt to generating over $250,000 in less than 90 days.

And he believes anyone can do what he did.

When you’re at the site, make sure you check out the the success stories from a bunch of regular people Darren’s been working with.

IPC Program - Independent Profit Center Reviewed By The HBB Advisor

Wednesday 24 September 2008 @ 2:10 am

There is a new Direct Pay Program that hit the net a few months ago. It is called The

Independent Profit Center
.
It is a very simple program that allows you to get paid directly on every sale
that you make. No qualifying sales, pass-up sales or anything like that is
needed. That means that once you join, all you have to do is make one sale and
you are pretty much at a break even point. The second sale puts you well into
profit.

For a few years, I have been successfully working what many are now calling
"Tier 1" programs. I prefer to call them "Direct Pay" programs because as the
promoter I get paid directly by the prospect for each sale I make even before
the company gets their share.

There are many examples of these "Tier 1" or "Direct Pay" programs online. A
few include EDC, PWF, CTC. While promoting these types of businesses I have
found that the number one reason that a prospect does not join the business is
the high up front cost of purchasing the product package. Most cost $1,000 or
more to join.

Another reason that many people decide not to join is the 1 up or 2 up
compensation structure that many Tier 1 or Direct Pay programs have. In these
types of pay structures a person has to give up all or a percentage of their
first one or two sales before they become qualified to get paid directly on each
of their sales. Most people just don’t like the fact that they have to give up
this income.

It was for these two reasons that I started looking online for a different
type of Direct Pay program. Specifically what I wanted was a program that met
the following criteria…

  1. An entry level that most could afford but that still allowed for good
    profit.
  2. A Decent line of digital products to promote.
  3. Direct pay compensation structure on sales made but with no qualification
    criteria. (ie. no pass-up sales)

After a great deal of looking I came across a program called The
Independent Profit Center
that met all three of the requirements that I was
looking for.

The IPC Program’s products included some software that would actually
benefit people in there marketing efforts online. The entry level was low enough
that most people could easily afford to purchase the products (which would make
IPC easy to promote) and the payments went directly to the person making the
sale with no qualifying requirements. So all a person would need to do was make
1 sale to pretty much break even.

After joining the The IPC Program I did find one thing that I felt was
not good but soon discovered I was wrong. In fact several of the people who have
purchased the The IPC Program’s package from me believe that what I
originally took as a negative to be the best part of the entire program.

Most programs, like those that I mentioned earlier, are set up ONLY with
replicated sites for you to promote. So every ad you run drives traffic to the
companies site (with the promoter’s id tagged to it), thereby building up the
programs reputation, alexa ranking, google rankings etc.

With that type of set up you are never building up your own business. Just
the companies business. Dan Miller founder of the IPC Program 
recognized this and decided that everyone who joins the The IPC Program
should learn how to set up their own domain, their own hosting, and their own
website. Thereby branding themselves and building there own business.

That is why he gave everyone the option of either promoting the
replicated link OR they can host part of the site and drive traffic to
their own site thereby branding themselves in the process.

I soon found out that Dan was 100% correct.

The training videos walks everyone… step by step…. thru the
process of setting up their own site. And Dan made it very easy to understand
and even easier to do.

During my testing phase of promoting the IPC Program  the number
one thing I heard from the people that purchased the program from me was how
much they learned from the training. Especially the set-up portion of the
training.

Dan also did a great job on the other parts of the training. Including the
best ways to promote the IPC Program.

After joining the IPC Program I decided to run a test for a few weeks
to see how easy the program really was to promote. During this time I chose
NOT
to pay for any form of advertising and I also chose NOT to offer
it to anyone on any of my current lists.

Instead I decided to run a few ads on some free classified sites like
backpage and craigslist. What I discovered during this two week test was that
the IPC Program
was easy to promote. My first two sales came within 48 hours of placing the
initial ads which put me into profit.

During the rest of the test period I placed some new ads every few days to
see if the trend continued. While I did not make a sale every single day of the
test period I did produce enough sales to know how profitable the Independent
Profit Center
would be when I decided to start the paid advertising
campaigns.

All in all The HBB
Advisor
gives IPC 4.5 out of 5 Stars and believes that this program
would make a great addition to anyones portfolio.

Product Review: Web Traffic Juggernaut

Wednesday 24 September 2008 @ 1:54 am

Web Traffic Juggernaut is a new site that says it guarantees more web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test…

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless–they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive–I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up & running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads–the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “Juggernaut” links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Juggernaut Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way–links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!

After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Juggernaut link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Juggernaut link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window in the lower right corner. It displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Juggernaut. So if anyone clicks the Juggernaut image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your Juggernaut links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally–meaning as you make referrals into Juggernaut (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Juggernaut image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Juggernaut also.

I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated–my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Juggernaut even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all–downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Juggernaut really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that they use a unique dual-matrix technology that builds your downline in 2 ways. First is the typical way–you refer members, who then refer members, etc. But the 2nd matrix is a “forced matrix” that places all new members in a downline in sequential order. Without getting technical, what it means is that if you join and just stay a member (even if you don’t do anything) your downline will grow automatically because new members will fill in your forced matrix. And you earn credits on them too. Now THAT’s cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Web Traffic Juggernaut. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Are The Yellow Pages Dead?

Sunday 21 September 2008 @ 2:59 am

Are The Yellow Pages Dead?

Are the yellow pages dead? When was the last time you picked up the big yellow book?

There are some facts that have lead me to ask this question.
- Lately, when you search for a local company, you tend to hit a search engine instead of your big yellow book.
- Has a manual search for a business become cumbersome and obsolete?
- Do you tend to find better search results from Google?
- There are some areas that do not wish to publish or distribute a print copy of the yellow pages due to environmental concerns.

Have we hit an era where everything is becoming digital? Your local newspaper, your local radio station, your local television station all have websites. I guarantee it. Truly print material is becoming a thing of the past.

There are many opinions on this subject. Typically the end result; If you have a business, you need an online presence. If people are searching online for a particular business category, you need to be there. Do a quick search for plumbers in your local community, I will wait. Yes, you will find results. Now if you were a plumber, wouldn’t you want your business listed right along side of your competitors?

The major benefit of having a website for your business is the cost involved. Most yellow pages charge a premium to add your business to their directory. To put your business online on the other hand, you typically only need a domain name and hosting. If you pay someone to create a website for you, you own it for life, a one time fee. Most communities tend to have a business directory where you can add your listing free of charge. The end result - more searches for your business at a cheaper cost to you. I have my different businesses listed on my local website, it generates me a rather substantial amount of revenue.

Did you realize that even the yellow pages has a website? This must raise a few eyebrows. The yellow pages has realized that we are in a digital era and needed to adapt to the change. The amount of directories added to the world wide web would average to be dozens per day.

Do not just dump the Chinese wedding favors on the tables in a helter skelter fashion. Carefully place them in such a manner that indicates the importance of your guests to you. Lots of money spent does not mean that your chosen favors will be a hit.

You’re right, everyone always looks forward to the wedding, but you know, the reception is very important also. Don’t you agree? The bridal reception is a time for reflection with the family and anticipation of new beginnings. When your guests are seated, guess what they notice at first?

The one thing I would advise that you consider to ensure that your gifts are a hit is personalization. When you personalize your favors you are saying to you guests that they are important to you and you care.

Just about all brides and grooms make the blunder when planning their once in a lifetime wedding event in making it too complicated. Keep it simple and you will have much less stress. And you don’t want any extra wedding day apprehension, right? Same goes for your personalized wedding favors, keep them simple.

Prefer your guests feelings over yours when making your choice. You want them to remember your wedding as an enjoyable experience for years to come. You can get some fantastic ideas looking through bridal magazines. This, of course, is the favorite pastime of brides to be the world over. Try it, you’ll like it.

Do not forget to buy your Chinese wedding favors with your guests experience in mind. You want them to feel welcomed when as they show up. Try very very hard to make sure you choose your favors with emotions considered.

Remember, your wedding day is something that you have looked forward to since you were little. Don’t rush, think about others when choosing your Chinese wedding favors and you’ll have the happiness of knowing that you did the right thing.

Tips for Setting Your Copywriting Rates

Friday 12 September 2008 @ 4:35 am

A copywriting job can mean brisk business, especially for writers who have the skills and experience. However, that is only if the writer knows how to strategically price his copywriting services, something that can be very tricky, especially for beginners. Setting a rate for copywriting can be confusing, particularly because you don’t want to overcharge and turn away prospects or undercharge and not be paid what you deserve. Here are some of the most important things that you should consider when setting your copywriting rates:

Different copywriters charge different rates

This is due mainly to the type of skills you have, your writing expertise and experience. Beginner copywriters, for example, cannot charge the same rates as more experienced ones.

The key here is to prove that you can deliver. Even if you have the skills but don’t have the experience, it can take a while before you can charge a rate as high as those charged by a copywriter with more experience than you do. This, even if you will be writing on the same topic. A Web article, for example, may cost only $75 for a beginner copywriter while a more experienced copywriter may charge at least $120.

The type of writing and topic

The type of writing project and its topic will also affect copywriting rates. An article written on a general topic, for example, may be charged at a lower rate than a write-up about a project with a specialized topic. Article writing, newsletters, brochures, ads, ghostwriting a book, news stories, press releases, etc. ?require different types of research and styles of writing.

The type of research that has to go into writing will also influence the rates ?the more difficult, intricate and technical the writing needs to be, the higher its rate. Extras that add value to a copywriting service such as search engine optimization or writing using HTML can also allow a writer to charge more.

To give you an idea how much copywriters charge for their services, here are some ballpark figures you might find useful:

For articles that will appear on a website, copywriters charge anywhere from $100 to $400 per write-up. If you choose to charge by the hour, the range can be anywhere from a low of $50 to around $85. For Web content that will fill 10 pages, you might want to charge for about $1,000 to $1,500, depending on the type of content.

For press releases, copywriters often charge from $300 to around $600 while others may charge lower, starting at around $100 or $150.

For sales letters, freelance copywriters usually charge a whopping $1,000 to around $2,000 per letter. Some, such as those still building their portfolio, can charge from a low of $200 to around $500.

The number of wordS

Many copywriters charge per word while others prefer a set number of minimum words per write-up. These become the basis of their copywriting rates. For example, a copywriter may charge a lower rate for a 300-word write-up than he would for a 500-word article.

The frequency of the writing project

There are different copywriting rates set for one-time writing projects and for continuous assignments. Copywriters will generally charge a slightly lower copywriting rate for continuous projects than for one-time only articles.

After service
As part of their copywriting services, copywriters often allow one revision per article which is included in the set rate. Further revisions and additions are sometimes billed extra or based on a per hour rate. Copywriters may charge from about $30 to $70 an hour to make their revisions.

Self-marketing

Believe it or not, how much you can charge for your copywriting rates will also depend on how well you can sell your writing skills. If you’re unsure of what to charge and less confident about your writing, you’re likely to charge a rate that is less than what’s reasonable for your level of skills and experience. Know your skills and be confident so you will never have to charge an unreasonable rate.

Lucky Few are Buying $1 Million Homes for Just 2%

Sunday 7 September 2008 @ 8:34 pm

There’s a new “secret” that a lucky few have already found that’s enabling them to literally buy houses that ordinarily sell for around $1 Million or more - but now for just $1,997 or LESS!

There are 3,141 counties in the United States, and each one possesses this exciting new opportunity whereby anyone with as little as $100 to seldom more than $5,000 can buy homes ordinarily valued from $30,000 to in quite a number of cases above $5 million! - and for just 1% to rarely above 5% their selling costs!

And the BEST part about this is that you can be located anywhere and still buy any home you want - even if you’re 3,000 miles away or more!

But, you don’t have to visit the county you buy the homes in - instead, you can do it all from the comfort and privacy of your home using just your tiny ‘ole mouse!

This is what makes this such a wonderful opportunity, in that you can go online to some select websites, then pick and choose the properties you want, and then get them for between 1%-5% at most.

No matter what happens you make money!

You basically buy a homeowner’s tax lien certificate because he or she wasn’t able to pay their property taxes.

They by law must pay you anywhere from 16% to as much as 50% in interest - and in many cases they must pay you back within as little as 6 months.

But, if they can’t pay you back, YOU own their home free and clear (and for what usually amounts to just 1% of the house’s actually selling value!)

Now, at this point you can either keep the house for yourself, or you can swiftly turn around and resell it (in any economy, good or bad!) to banks, lenders or individual buyers answering your little classified ad! - and where you make a killing!

The site that has all the facts as to how you can do this from your laptop or PC is here:

www.PickAndClickCash.com/neorezq

But I wish to strongly encourage you to take action and go there as it’s rumored that they are going to withdraw this exciting opportunity as soon as they reach the maximum number of “members” they can handle.

Are Doctors Lying About the Cure for Cancer?

Sunday 7 September 2008 @ 8:14 pm

“The People” have had enough apparently!

An “insider” revealed today that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people - and even worse: with the help of “law-makers!”

It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding cancer - its control, management, and even its cure!

That’s right: “cure!”

And what should shock you even more:

It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.

Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.

But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.

Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry?

It’s simply because no one’s out to “cure” anyone because there’s little money in doing so.

Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone’s really out to do for you these days - as doing so means you being “forced” to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and … (you get the point!)

Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you’re cured - and that’s that (over and done!)

But a number of doctors, philanthropists, and just plain old “good folks” armed with “real answers” and “real solutions” are stepping up and are NOT afraid of “Uncle Big-Bully Brother!”

One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, is doing exactly this, as he’s helped many people overcome “naturally” the dreaded disease of Cancer!

Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as “no longer having the disease at all!” (Something that’s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! - and now which may even be against the law!)

But it’s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because “Uncle Sambo” has actually started using “Gestapo” tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering “cures” have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint!

So, if you’re wise and want to find out about this while it’s still possible for you to do so, then just visit this link now:

~~~> www.UltimateCancerSolution.com/neorezq

But don’t be surprised if one day soon you return to find this site completely removed with a US Flag waving in its place (in the name of “freedom” no less!)
