Build your own membership site

I've been investigating the pros and cons of building a
membership site and the strategies required to make
it effective.

The 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway presented me
with some free resources in this area:
http://www.hunteridge.com/12days/index.php?id=1664

I have also just purchased a video series on developing
a membership site for a grand cost of $1.85. I know this
video series is increasing in price on a daily basis and the
last time I looked it was $2.40.

So if you are interested, check it our here:
http://www.membershipmastery.squidoomarketingstrategies.com/

The videos cover installation of the highly acclaimed, full
membership software developed by Amember, but are of
value for any membership software.

Don't be deceived by the low price - the videos cover 8 important
areas including planning your site, set-up, protection and
review. The ZIP file is quite large and will take some time
to download.

It's certainly well worth a look:

I know one of the many things I will be learning about in the
New Year!!

Best wishes for 2008!

Search Engine Myths Exposed

Google is like the Holy Grail of marketing on
the web. Rank well in Google and your profits
are pretty much set.

But there is SO MUCH bogus information out there,
often coming from the "gurus" themselves.

On January 9th, 2008, Jonathan Leger (originator
of the $7 ebook script) is releasing a new
FREE report that completely obliterates
the following myths about Google (and then
goes on to show you what DOES work):

Myth #1: Google Knows All and Sees All
Myth #2: Google Will Not Rank Duplicate Content
Myth #3: You Must Get Links From Related Subject
Sites to Rank
Myth #4: Your Site Must Focus On One Subject To Rank
Myth #5: High PageRank Means Good Rankings
Myth #6: To Maintain Good Rankings,
You Must Add New Content

..and..
MYTH #7: THE BIGGEST MYTH: Ranking In Google Is Hard!

The site is in pre-launch now, but if you sign
up early you will get a sample chapter full of
proof and details.

And did I mention he'll pay you for referring
other people to this powerful f.ree report?
And that he'll pay you for anyone THEY refer
as well (even while it's in pre-launch)?
Find out more about that when you download
your sample chapter from:

http://www.searchenginemyths.squidoomarketingstrategies.com

There has been a lot of discussion on the web lately
about Myth N0. 5 - high ranking = high positioning
in Google results. Most blog commentators agree that
this is not necessarily so. Jonathan Leger
goes one step further in his Preview Chapter
to give unquestionable proof that Myth No. 5 is in
fact a MYTH:

The Secret to Online Success - FREE

Alex Jeffreys has released his

118 page FREE ebook that explains

how he built an online income in

excess of $100,000 in 12 months.

Post Launch Profits is really about strategy

- how to build your online business for success.

It's very encouraging, sincere and challenging - it can

nurture you and at the same time take you outside

your comfort zone.

This ebook takes you through the 6 steps that Jeff

took to earn a 6 figure income and set himself up

for a 7 figure income in 2008.

He emphasises simplicity, action and leverage.

If you are planning to launch your own product, there's

heaps here on product launching, creating JV partners

and recruiting affiliates.

Even if you are not planning your own product launch,

there is heaps of common sense about building an online

business.

Besides JV partners and affiliates, Alex stresses the power

of leveraging through increasing traffic conversion,

improving website conversion rates, getting organised,

goal setting and outsourcing.

He emphasises that no matter what your level of

business is you need to get organised (or you will not

be able to get to the next level).

There were 42 comments on his blog about how useful

the information has been. When you see people take

the effort to write long thank you's, you know there is

value in the product (...and it's free!). When you see

people saying, "I am going back to read the ebook a

second and third time...", you know it's full of wisdom:

http://www.postlaunchprofits.squidoomarketingstrategies.com/

Alex has a one time offer (OTO) with his free ebook,

and each of the 7 associated bonuses has incredible

value in its own right - I am working through my

bundle now. One of the bonuses from Jeff Dedrick has

audio/video interviews with 25 of the top internet

marketers plus.....

Alex also provides a free affiliate program that pays you

75% of the One Time Offer and heaps of affiliate resources

to assist your promotions.

NOTE: On Alex's affiliate promotion resources page, he

has over 90 social bookmarking sites hyperlinked

for your benefit - why not promote the product this

way and also promote your squidoo lens/blog as well.

From this page alone, you will also learn multiple ways

to increase the traffic to your Squidoo lens/blog. His ebook

also covers traffic generation methods:

http://www.postlaunchprofits.squidoomarketingstrategies.com/

Here's some quotable quotes from Alex:

Always look at the positive sside and leverage the opportunity

of your competition by Joint Venturing with them.

I don't work in my business, I work ON my business.

There's no magic hat here folks this does take time.

If you are not already organised at the stage you are at

now, how on earth do you plan on building a 6 or even

7 figure income?

I'm a product of my productivity.

....and at each stage he explains exactly what he did and

how he did it!

The whole ebook echoes what Yarok Starak calls the

"80-20 rule" - concentrating your efforts on the 20% of

things that bring you 80% of the income.

I try to put this principle into practice by asking myself each

day, "What are the two or three things I can do today that

will advance my business goals the most?" As I am only

working part-time on my internet business, I have to be

strategic. Once you start thinking this way, it becomes a habit

...and you get better at it.

Here's to your success in building your online business in 2008

- I know that I will be using this ebook as a blueprint for my

efforts in 2008:

Getting traffic to your Squidoo lens

There has been a lot of discussion lately on the Squidoo
forum about changes to the criteria for lensrank.

Most contributors indicate that Squidoo has now given
more weighting to traffic to your lens in determining
your Lensrank.

So I have been exploring ways to get more traffic to
my key lenses.

I discovered lately that I am having success with
the free Viral Link Tracker progam.


Here are the few simple steps involved:

1. Transform Your Squidoo lens link to a

"Viral Tracking" link

You enter the URL of your Squidoo lens in the

Viral Link Generator and bingo you have a new viral

link which displays you lens PLUS an adblock with

three ads.

2. Create Your own ads to drive traffic to

your Squidoo lens

A very simple process of writing a few lines

or uploading an image and adding your

Squidoo lens URL.

3. Promote and use your new viral tracking
link - for a double benefit

This promotes two things for you - it promotes your lens
and your viral link tracker affiliate ID.

4. Earn free adcredits and advertising

Your viral link also displays three ads that generate

adcredits for you when someone clicks on them.

I have been astounded at the clickthrough rate on these

ads. Here's today's stats:

Ad Displays Today - 1464

Link Clicks Today 471

5. Get VIRAL and Watch YOUR TRAFFIC EXPLODE

You also get adcredits when your affiliates' links get

clicked. Your viral link above advertises your

Viral Link Tracker Affiliate ID so its creating

affiliates for you and they are creating adcredits for

you ...and so it goes on.

...and an ADDED BONUS for YOUR LIST BUILDING

I have placed a link on my lens to enable people to sign up for

my email course. This is above the fold (so that it displays on

the first page of my lens). When I promote my viral link,

I not only promote my lens, I am also promoting my

free ecourse.

Check out Viral Link Tracker here and listen to the audio

or view the video explanation:

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway

Sorry, I am a bit slow off the mark this year.

This is the original and one of the best internet
marketing giveaways.

I have been involved with this for a number of years
and the quality of the gifts is first rate.

It will be even better this year as you can only offer
a gift if you have 2,500 or more on your mailing list.

So I would check it out:
http://www.hunteridge.com/12days/index.php?id=M1664

You might be a bit overwhelmed by the number and
quality of the gifts ...even though they only release a number
of new gifts each day (for 12 days).

I've found in the past the best way to tackle these
Giveaways is to identify some area you are working
on or want to focus on and collect all the resources
you can on that topic. Otherwise your energy can
become very dissipated and you will lose focus.

Then again, you should not pass up that resource
that you really must have....

Here's the link:
