Web Conferencing: GVO Conference Affiliate Marketing Opportunity

Joel Therien has just released GVO Conference at a GoDaddy
price point - $8.97 per month for a 50 seat
Online Conference Room:

I hosted my first sites with Joel's company 5 years ago
and he has come a long way since then.

GVO Conference is state-of-the-art in online conferencing -
Joel has picked a price that is in line with GoDaddy's onslaught
on the domain business. While others were offering domains at $100,
GoDaddy offered them at less than $9. Joel is using the same
strategy to price GVO Conference:

His original conference facility, Hot Conference, had over
7 Million users.

Online conferencing is a growth industry spurred on by the 9/11
terrorist attack (many US managers refused to travel by air for
work after that event).

Many small businesses are now using this approach to market
their goods and services...and you will have already experienced
the growth of online conferencing and webinars with
Internet marketers.

Families too are starting to use these facilities to keep
in contact across the globe.

Joel is offering a very generous affiliate program (with monthly
recurring income) for anyone who wants to get on board.
The launch will be massive and backed by TV and radio.

I have setup my GVO conference room because I have
priced and trialed four other online conference facilities
over the last 4 years and none match GVO in features or price.

I plan to use GVO to run public webinars and private conference
calls with my SquidooRoo Training Program participants.

I also plan to use it extensively for my offline HR consultancy
business.  We have face to face training courses for
job applicants that are currently oversubscribed. We will start
to run paid webinars soon and then sell the recordings as DVDs.
We will also run some freebies to promote our services.

This just gives you some idea of the potential of this
ground-floor opportunity.

This is an ideal product for affiliate marketers to promote
as the commission is very generous and offered over a number
of levels.

With GVO Conference, affiliate marketers have a product that is:

• in high demand
• highly consummable (and upgradable)
• easily demonstrable
• provides immediate satisfaction
• priced for a very wide market.

Anik Singal Releases his Online Empire Blueprint

My very first online mentor, Anik Singal, has just released his free
158 page report, The Empire Formula:
http://www.bit.ly/9qXxjF

I first came across Anik when I joined his Affiliate Classroom
in 2005.  I became a life member in 2007 and subsequently
joined Anik's PPC Classroom and his Article Directory, AffSphere.

Anik has created a $10 Million per year online empire.  His report
details step-by-step how you could build your own Empire.

The Empire Formula is actually 4 formulae - deciding your niche
market, product creation, marketing & traffic and list building.

He devotes 21 pages just to the first formula - deciding your niche.
It is very comprehensive and challenges a lot of established views.

My suggestion is if you download the report, you skim the
report first.  Then if you are stuck for a niche, read the first formula
in depth. If you are happy with your niche but want to develop
products, check out formula 2 - a very good discussion helping
you to decide what to create.

If you want to improve your marketing of products in your
chosen niche, focus in on Formula 3 - marketing and traffic.
If you are not building your list effectively, formula 4 on
list building will give you heaps of ideas.

So anyone can make use of this report whether you want to build
an online empire or just improve your online income.

This is an exceptional report and you will not find this level of
detail in any other report that does not have a price tag.

Blogger vs WordPress - Which Blogging Platform?

Should you use Blogger.com or WordPress for your blog?

 

It's a matter of preference.  Some experienced marketers dismiss

Blogger.com because it is not as sophisticated or as flexible as

WordPress. But there are other considerations.

 

The fact of the matter is that a number of the world's top bloggers

started out on Blogger.com (including Darren Rowse), partly

because not much was available then.

 

I created this blog on Blogger.com in 2005.  It has been

in the top ten results for a number of keywords for years.

At one stage, it had a PR5 rating from Google but dropped

in rank, partly because I did not maintain my blog posting (I

got diverted creating 100 + Squidoo lenses).

 

Blogger.com has these advantages:

1. automatically indexed by Google (goes in their blog directory)

2. simple to use

3. has become more sophisticated recently with its own plugins

(you can add scripts, affiliate products, etc.) and the plugin

options are built-in - you don't have to go searching for them on the

web

4. has some attractive templates

5. less choice (more built-in) means that it's faster to build your blog

6. you can easily create tags/labels (but not categories).

 

The downside is that Google owns Blogger.com and you don't

normally have your Blogger.com blog on your own domain

(although you have the option to host it on your own domain -

which makes it a bit more complicated to set up.)

 

The parallel of course is that you can have a WordPress

blog hosted on WordPress.com or on your own domain.

 

I did not bother with WordPress initially because my

Blogger.com blog was doing okay and I did not have the

time or inclination to invest in learning about WordPress

themes and plugins.

 

This changed recently when I teamed up with Anne Corcino

of SeoPraxis.com and developed a joint venture. I then

engaged Anne on a paid basis to convert the site for my

offline business (HR consultancy) to a WordPress platform.

Anne is a Master WordPress designer.

 

In working with Anne on the design, I learned a lot about

WordPress and I am now hooked. We are working on a

couple of WordPress sites together and I have created

one to back the SquidooRoo Training Program. This WordPress

blog is built on the marketing-orientated, Socrates Theme:

http://www.squidooroo.com/socialmediamarketing

 

This needs a bit of work at the moment (in terms of plugins)

but is basically self-generating as I use an auto-blogging facility 

developed by Brad Callen.

WordPress has the advantage of lots of plugins that can do

so many things automatically such as SEO and listing related articles,

etc.  You really are only limited by your imagination in how you use

the hundreds of plugins available. 

 

However, the range of themes (layouts) and plugins (action modules)

can be bewildering if you are new to WordPress or not technically

minded.  Even if you have some degree of technical skill, you

need time and patience to get across the numerous options available.

 

If I was starting out now:

 

1. I would engage someone like Anne from SEO Praxis to build my

SEO optimized, WordPress blog

 

or

 

2.  I would put a WordPress blog on my own domain

and use a simple theme that is designed for Internet

marketers such as the Socrates theme I used on

the social media marketing blog above.

 

If I was not technically minded I would start with Blogger.com

and master the art of writing blog posts and marketing first.

There is definitely a major time investment in setting up a

WordPress blog (even though the individual steps are relatively

easy).

 

As Darren Rowse points out, you can always start again with a

new blog (as he did three times). He now has 350,000 subscribers

to one of his blogs!

 

The blogging lesson (#6) of the SquidooRoo Training Program

takes this discussion further by exploring how to focus, write and

create your blog (on either platform) and how to make your

blog the foundation of your business.  There are also resources

with step-by-step instructions for setting up either a Blogger.com

blog or a WordPress blog.
