PLR - Advantages and Disadvantages

First off I will tell you that I am a PLR - Private Label Rights - junkie! I love the stuff. Anything and everything.

If you are interested in making money online, private label rights may very well be the opportunity that you have been searching for.

Private label rights are typically offered by the product’s creator, at least initially. When you obtain the rights to a private label product, you are buying the rights to resell that product. These products most commonly include software programs and e-books, but they are not limited to just those products. After you’ve purchased the product, it’s yours to do with as you choose, limited only by the license.

My Blogging Milestone! A Bit of a Case Study

Ok, now this is not going to sound like much of a milestone to many of you out there but for me, this is important and a kind of big deal :) It’s also a bit of a case study in how one ‘breaking’ post or story can really skyrocket traffic.

In the past, I’ve told you that I really got seriously into blogging only about six months ago, sure I’ve blogged on and off for a couple of years, but this blog is the one that is most important to me. I started it because it is my passion. It was never meant to be a ‘money’ site although it does more than pay for itself.

A little about the site

  • I started the site in mid-April but backdated some posts to start getting indexed with some content.
  • I have never advertised this site except for writing a couple of articles and I didn’t even do that until recently.
  • The niche is what I would consider to be a heavily populated one, dogs, but my angle is one that is much more targeted, canine advocacy. Now you can see why this was never created to be a ‘money site’ :)
  • By the end of April, with only search engine traffic, a two week span of time, I had 500 unique visitors.
  • By the end of May, again, no advertising, only search engine, I had over 2500 unique visitors.
  • By the end of July, again, no advertising, only search engine, I had over 5000 unique visitors.
  • In August I had a major spike due to one story that got picked up by ebaumsworld.com and was heavily promoted and hit over 18,000 unique visitors.
  • This month, I broke a story in the US which was heavily picked up by blogs all over the county as well as forums, Facebook, Livejournals, Craigslist, websites and many other places and I will easily top over 20,000 visitors.

Like I said, this doesn’t sound like a big deal but remember, no advertising and this is a very small and targeted niche. With just one ‘breaking’ story, I have had a major increase in traffic.

Easy Profits Using PPC In Your Affiliate Marketing Business

PPC is one of the four basic types of Search Engines. PPC is also one of the most cost-effective ways of targeted internet advertising. According to Forbes magazine, PPC or Pay Per Click, accounts to 2 billion dollars a year and is expected to increase to around 8 billion dollars by the year 2008.

Let us take a quick look at how PPC Search Engines work.

These engines create listings and rate them based on a bid amount the website owner is willing to pay for each click from that search engine. Advertisers bid against each other to receive higher ranking for a specific keyword or phrase.

The highest bidder for a certain keyword or phrase will then have the site ranked as number 1 in the PPC Search Engines followed by the second and third highest bidder, up to the last number that have placed a bid on the same keyword or phrase. Your ads then will appear prominently on the results pages based on the dollar amount bid you will agree to pay per click.

How do you make money by using PPC into your affiliate marketing business?

Most affiliate programs only pay when a sale is made or a lead delivered after a visitor has clickthrough your site. Your earnings will not always be the same as they will be dependent on the web site content and the traffic market.

Quick SEO Tip

I’m going to tell you right off, I am not a SEO expert. I know the basic ‘ins and outs’ and apply quite a few of the the different techniques but I will never claim to be an expert in the SEO game. Sometimes though, knowing the basics is a good starting point.

SEO for those of you who don’t know is ‘Search Engine Optimization.’

Search Engine Optimization is a process of choosing the most appropriate targeted keyword phrases related to your site and ensuring that this ranks your site highly in search engines so that when someone searches for specific phrases it returns your site on tops. It basically involves fine tuning the content of your site along with the HTML and Meta tags and also involves appropriate link building process.

Now, how do you know what keywords to use? You want to use keywords that people are looking for but you also want to use keywords that a million people are not already using.

The Importance of Due Diligence? FREE Gifts, Too!

Got an interesting email from Michael Ambrosio - Mr Over Deliver today on the subject of ‘Due Diligence’ and I thought I would share it with you. It’s something that people don’t think about too often but really do need to.

Also a couple of FREE gifts too! :)

Recently, in a well-known marketing forum, a post was
made about someone being exposed as not being who they
said they were.

Ok, sounds like gossip. Who cares, right?

Well it’s important because this was about someone who
was passing themself off as a lawyer.

This person for the most part was trusted, and because
of that trust started (allegedly) doing business AS a
lawyer.

Offering to set up corporations, patent stuff, and more
(again - allegedly. I am not speaking from personal
experience here).

The point here isn’t to rehash what’s already in the
forum. My point here is to remind you that there are
people out there that aren’t who or what they say they
are.

Affiliate Marketing - Part 7

Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line

In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase your earnings and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most of the techniques and tactics can be learned easily. No need to go anywhere and any further. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

One of the more important ways of increasing affiliate marketing bottom line and sale is through the use of product recommendations. Many marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain product.

If the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will definitely trust your recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually wear thin.

This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much merit.

Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given product or service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your recommendation more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.

Making Money with Adsense - A $9K Case Study

Some people love Adsense and some people hate it. I’m in between :) But I love the idea of it. I use it on some of my sites and to be honest I haven’t really worked at it… yet! I Adsense Advantagemake a couple of bucks her and a couple of bucks there, nothing to write home about. The thing is I know there are ways to make it work for you and to make good money.

Well, came across this FREE REPORT that is a real case study showing how this guy, a real person, is making over 9K a month from Adsense. From zero to 9K in about three months!!! Kinda makes me think that I might have to take a little time to see if I can’t get it working. If he can do it, why can’t I?

Matt Callen who wrote the case study has this to say;

It’s funny to me that people are saying that Google AdSense has died and no longer works… If that’s you, I want you to download this special 47 page Case Study right now.

I’ll show you exactly how one man is making an absolute killing with Adsense, using a simple ‘wash, rinse, and repeat’ method…
