One of the most compelling TV shows here in the UK is The Apprentice… But instead of Donald Trump, we have Lord Alan Sugar.

You may know him as the straight-talking “barrow boy” from East London who ran Amstrad… Or the former chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club who employed Christian Gross as manager… (Not everybody gets it right all of the time!)

I am big fan of Lord Sugar and recently finished reading his autobiography. In fact, it’s a great business training from one of the sharpest minds the UK has produced.

So today I wanted to share a few quotes and how they can help you become more successful online…

“It’s what you do in practice that gains you business
credibility, not hype or empty promises. I guess it
comes down to the old adage: actions speak louder than words”

He’s obviously not seen a Clickbank launch… But, being serious, it’s true. I see marketers talk themselves up all day long on Facebook about how they are going to do this and that… And the next day I see them… Well, talking about how they are going to do this and that. How about doing it, instead?

“It’s not what you say, it’s what you do. Time is your
greatest friend if you really want to show who you are”

Success does not come overnight but if you are willing to invest the time and effort, it WILL happen. Too often I see would-be marketers jack it in because they haven’t made a million dollars a week after throwing up a WordPress blog.

“My philosophy was: if we’re going to piss £1m up the wall
on a campaign, I want it all spent on the actual advertising;
I don’t want a large chunk of the budget wasted on production
and creative fees”

Aspiring marketers are haemorrhaging money all over the place on products, memberships and training they don’t need… While simultaneously NOT doing the very thing they SHOULD
be doing to make money…MARKETING!

Incidentally, if you love Lord Sugar’s straight-talking, zero-hype style then this product Revenue Redemption is perfect for you!
It slices through the BS that plagues the industry!

I know that many of you use WordPress as an essential tool in your Internet Marketing activities (as I do). WordPress is one of the most popular (if not THE most popular) tools to create a website – and with good reason! It is powerful, easy to use and can be extended using plugins!

WordPress Plugins – CLICK HERE

WordPress Plugins are one of the things that make WordPress GREAT! For those of you who don’t know what a plugin is it is simple: A WordPress Plugin is a little piece of software that “plugs” in to WordPress to add features and functionality. They are easy to install and configure and, most of them, are FREE! The fact that there are thousands of them is both a curse and a blessing. It is a blessing as there is sure to be a plugin out there that will do what you want it to do. It is a curse because it means trawling through thousands of plugins you DON’T want to find the ones you DO!

Some WordPress Plugins will work well with other plugins – some plugins are incompatible with other plugins. Some do a particular job much better than others that purport to do the same job! There are plugins for practically everything from Search Engine Optimisation to Shopping Carts and everything inbetwen.

If you have a WordPress site then, if you want to succeed in Internet Marketing, you NEED to have certain plugin’s installed and configured. Finding the best ones for the task can, however, be a daunting prospect. That’s why I’ve done the work for you Click the link below and you can download my new free eBook that gives you the lowdown on the Top 100 WordPress Plugins. All of the hard work has been done for you. The eBook lists 100 plugins (naturally), all of which are split into relevant categories.

Top 100 WordPress Plugins

Google Cash Monster has just been launched by Bobby Walker and Jarett Stevenson. It is an amazing plug and play system that allows you to create websites that have super fast rankings in Google!

I really should have posted this review a week or so ago when it was actually launched but,  as you know,  I NEVER promote a product until I have tried it out first.  So,  I grabbed a copy of Google Cash Monster and went through it step by step.  Guess what… It is superb!  In fact,  going through the system in detail has kept me busy since my last post (my FREE eBook)

Not long after I posted my review of the “Push Button Giveaways 2.0″ system (see THIS POST) I started to get emails asking for more information about JV Giveaways.  JV Giveaway events are a great way of building your list quickly and easily but there are, of course, a few hurdles and things you will NEED to know before you actually enter an event.  These kind of things were coming up in the questions you were asking  -  Questions such as how to enter a JV Giveaway without a list of your own?  How to make best use of the event’s tools?  How to actually find the JV Giveaway Events to enter etc…

JV Giveaways – FREE Guide.

So… I started to compile a post that would answer these questions, unfortunately, as I thought about it, more and more questions and possible hurdles popped up – I quickly realised that the subject matter was far to big for a blog post so I decided to write a short (29 page) eBook that would answer all the questions about JV Giveaways and let you in on some insider secrets along the way.  I also decided that it would be good to offer it FREE to my blog readers –   The eBook is called JV Giveaway Avalanche and you can download it FREE of charge by CLICKING THIS LINK.

Download the eBook, have a read and let me know what you think – If you need ANY help with any aspect then please just send me a message and I would be more than happy to help!  I have some more things to help your list building with JV Giveaways and will let you know about them shortly!

I have just purchased another new product – Push Button Giveaways and wanted to share my thoughts about it with you!

Push Button Giveaways 2.0 is a new system from John Thornhill and Keith Purkiss. It is an online tool that enables you to take part in JV Giveaways without all of the hard work normally associated with doing so! If you aren’t sure what a JV Giveaway is then click HERE  read my blog post explaining about JV Giveaways and how you can download my new guide to entering them FREE OF CHARGE!

In a nutshell, JV Giveaways are events that are run by internet marketers which enable you to provide products free to people in exchange for them signing up to your list. They are one of the best ways of building a list from scratch!

You can find my FULL Push Button Giveaways review by clicking THIS LINK. I am offering some superb bonuses for anyone who purchases Push Button Giveaways through my affiliate link – full details can be found at THIS LINK.

You will find a summary of my review below along with a quick video tour of the system that I created for you.

Push Button Giveaways Review Summary

In a nutshell,  Push Button Giveaways makes entering JV Giveaways a doddle!  The biggest problem with entering a JV Giveaway is that you have to enter all of your registration information,  upload images and descriptions for your gifts,  links to squeeze pages etc…   This is fine the first time you enter one but becomes a labour intensive process if you have to re-enter all of these details every time you enter a new giveaway!  Push Button giveaways automates the process so you only have to enter the majority of this information once!

Not only that,  it also presents you with a comprehensive list of giveaways that are currently running (or are scheduled) so you can easily pick and choose the events you would like to enter.  If you have a small list or even no list at all then JV Giveaways are an ideal solution to get started with list building.  You can choose to enter them without the benefit of Push Button Giveaways but,  if you enter the number of JV Giveaways that you should be doing, you will spend more time “form filling” than actually making money!

Push Button Giveaways Review – Conclusion

I recently purchased a new product launched by Socrates Socratous,  The Killer Content system and thought you would like to know if it lives up to all of the hype and buzz going around about it at the moment!

Let me tell you from the off – IT DOES!  I was really not expecting this product to be just so damn good…  It blew my socks off and I will tell you why :

The Killer Content system is not just an ebook or training course.  It’s a complete online system that will easily allow you to totally dominate any niche you can think of and create an overpowering online presence!

I just can’t believe that Socrates has managed to stuff such an incredible amount of super high quality content in one place and has coupled it with an incredibly easy to use online system for manipulating it.  It’s difficult to explain easily what the system is but it’s sure NOT difficult to use.  Basically,  you are given access to a back-end system that runs via the web – It is an amazingly powerful system that could be described as a CMS (Content Management System) designed specifically for Internet Marketing – However,  that’s a rather techie description and the program is a cinch to use.

You can call this program by whatever title you like – that’s up to you but I have used LOTS of data/content management systems in the past and this is by far the best.  It is a powerful tool that will allow an internet marketer to manipulate and search through an incredible amount of pre-provided premium content but it is as easy to use as Wordpad!

Here is a screenshot of the main Dashboard so you can see how clear and easy it is (Click the picture to see a bigger version):

Here’s a brief run-down of how the system works :

• Firstly,  you go the Killer Content webpage and log in to the system with the details you will be provided with.
• The main screen (or dashboard) has a list of the hottest niche topics on the left hand side,  a simple & colourful panel of icons in the middle and some more links at the top
• You start by creating a “project” – This is as easy as clikcing on the great big “Projects” icon and typing in the name of your new project.
• Then you need to search through the HUGE database of high quality articles for the ones you need.  You can search simply by clicking the name of the niche you are interested in on the left and the system will give you a list of all the articles in that niche.  However,  the real power is that you are also able to search by KEYWORD!  That’s right!  Just type the exact keywords you wantand the system will pull out thousands of articles that match!  It really is this easy!
• You then go through this list (which shows the article title, word count and the first few lines of each article) and click on an article you fancy to open it.  The article opens up right there in front of you!  You then get another set of icons which allow you to “spin” the article right there on the killer content system or even edit it outright just like a wordprocessor.  When you have finished “spinning” or editing you can then save the article to the new project you created.
• You keep doing this with the articles,  spinning them and adding them to the project,  until you have as much content in the project as you would like.
• When you are done,  you go back to the “Project” screen where you can, at the press of a button,  autopost the articles to your blog.  You can post them all in one hit if you like but the Killer Content system even has a scheduler built in.  You can specifiy exactly on what dates and times each article will automatically be posted to your blog!  It will even vary it by random amounts if you like!  It is simply awesome to have this kind of control over your autoposts!
• There is LOTS more to the Killer Content system that this, however,  one of my favourite features is that you can take all of the articles in a project and click the “Ebook” button.  The system will take the articles,  arrange them into chapters and automatically produce a PDF ebook ready for you to sell or give away.  You do, of course, have the option of full control of all aspects of the ebook layout etc but, if you want, you can just do it all with a button click!   How awesome is that!

That’s literally how easy the system is to use.  It really is push-button!  Let’s not forget the outstanding quality of the thousands of articles in there (in the hottest niches).

Then there is the training,  Socrates has also integrated into the Killer Content system a libray of training videos that really do show you how to get the best out of the system and make serious money from it.  There are hours and horus of videos in there but I most certainly recommend you watching them.  No matter what level you are at from newbie to advanced you WILL learn something from them!

There are LOTS more features integrated into the system such as the keyword density checker etc etc but I just don’t have the space so I suggest you check it out for yourself at the link below.

So,  11 out of 10 for the Killer Content system from me – I wasn’t expecting it to be a tenth as good as this!

If you are new to Affiliate Marketing then there are a few basic things that you should know.

Firstly, Affiliate Marketing is simply the practice of selling products other people have created (usually via Clickbank) and being paid a percentage of the sale price by the product creator.

Affiliate Marketing is a great method of making huge amounts of money but it doesn’t come easy! To get people to spend money on products that you promote you really have to offer them something more than a list of product ads! Heck, they can open up the classifieds in their local newspaper if they want that!

You need to have a website and I would recommend using WordPress to start up a blog – This is a perfectly good method of creating a website to sell affiliate products – after all, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

However, creating a pretty blog isn’t enough – To be able to convince people to purchase products you are promoting you need to actually get people interested – remember, a list of ad’s just won’t cut it!

You have heard the saying “Content Is King” – It certainly is! Without content, any visitors you get to your blog will just click away and never return.

You should really be trying to create content based around the same theme as the products you are promoting. Not only should you create content it is equally as important to add NEW content on a REGULAR basis – This is what will keep people coming back and eventually purchase a product you are promoting. If your blog is full of informative, well written content then the adverts for products will just appear to be an afterthought.

Affillate marketing isn’t easy and you won’t get results overnight – It will take time to get enough INTERESTED visitors to keep coming back over and over again and eventually purchase. You need to keep posting articles – NEW content is the key, without it your visitors will get bored very easily and move on elsewhere.

When you start off, make life easy for yourself – promote a product in a niche that you are familiar with and that interests YOU! This will ensure that you have the knowledge to write content and your passion for the subject will show through. Once you become more experienced, you can, of course, start to promote products outside of your comfort zone for increased sales. However, you really need the easiest ride possible when starting off so, if you know nothing about PPC then please don’t promote PPC products – If you have a passion for cooking then start by promoting recipe and cookery related products.

If you want a varied selection of products within the niche that you choose then I can wholeheartedly recommend the ClickBank Ad Rotator system – It works perfectly with WordPress and will allow you to have automatically changing ads rotated in your blog for ClickBank products that match keywords you choose! You can have a look at the system by clicking here.

Good luck – If you persevere and update your content on a regular basis you can make a sizeable (and sometimes passive) income by promoting affiliate products…. eventually!

With all of my previous forays into Internet Marketing I have dealt with and purchased products from most of the so-called “gurus” out there over the years. 99% of the “wisdom” they have tried to impart on me (in exchange for my hard earned cash) has been absolute codswallop!!

Their “magic button” schemes are always just so much hot air. It was only when I FINALLY stumbled across a man called John Thornhill that my view of “gurus” changed. You see, in John, I had finally found something that is a rarity in Internet Marketing – AN HONEST INTERNET MARKETER!

That’s right – I will say it again – AN HONEST INTERNET MARKETER! John never offers you “magic buttons”, he will tell you himself that they just don’t exist. What he CAN offer is solid, easy to follow and practical advice for anyone who wishes to make it big in Internet Marketing. If you haven’t checked out John Thornhill yet then now is the best time!

Over the years I have used many hosting companies for my webspace. They have all differed in terms of price, facilities offered and levels of service. I have never come across one that offers the perfect balance – UNTIL NOW!!!

I recently moved all of my websites to a hosting company called D9 Hosting and haven’t looked back since! Their plans start from £6.95 per month and offer unlimited webspace, unlimited domains and unlimited bandwidth. The control panel is the easy to use and supremely flexible cPanel. Both the webspace and the MySQL databases run at a blistering pace. The server I am sharing hasn’t been blacklisted. They offer jailed SSH access for those who require it. A massive libray of Fantastico Deluxe scripts is available. Heck, they even give you the choice of hosting on a UK or US server at no extra cost.

I have found them to be rock-steady and I am totally amazed by their speed. I had a few issues initially (which were, actually, my own silly fault) and had to use their support services. The first time round I actually had a live chat session with one of the owners of D9 (Dan) and the problem was sorted easily and quickly. The second time around I opened a support ticket and the problem was sorted within 20 minutes! That is just EXCELLENT service – especially as the problems were of my own doing!

I can’t recommend them highly enough. As I mentioned, I have a LOT of experience with various hosting companies and D9 are by far the best. Just check out these amazing plans and prices HERE

Hi Everyone. As you may know, I am a little bit gadget crazy!

I just had to tell you about my latest little gadget. After deciding to go on a diving holiday later this year I thought I should probably buy a waterproof camcorder. I managed to pick up the C-Shock DC32 for about £129. Let me tell you, this is an amazing piece of tech! Firstly, it is a full HD 1080p camcorder with a very clear flip out colour viewfinder. It uses an SD Card up to 16Gb in size and has both USB and HDMI ports. It comes with a Lithium Ion battery that is easily replaceable (it is the Casio NP40 battery actually) and it takes stunning high definition footage. It is simple to use in automatic mode (just point and shoot) but it has lots of manual adjustments for those who understand these things! You can adjust the exposure, white balance etc… It even takes stunning stills at it’s native resolution of 5mp (interpolated up to 12mp if desired).

Now for the best bit – It’s waterproof! It is IPx-8 rated which means it can be completely submerged to a depth of 3 meters for up to an hour! AMAZING!

It even has a simple one-click “Underwater” button that, when pressed, puts the camera into “Underwater” mode and adjusts the light and colour balance, exposure etc.

Amongst it’s many other features it has a stereo mic, an incredibly bright video light and even comes with a high quality carrying case.
