New Blog Focused on Info and Training

While I realize that there are thousands of blogs out there that focus on training people on how to make money, how to generate traffic to sites, etc etc etc - I have created another one at IBWT.com

Why did I create another one? I have hopped from site to site all claiming to help people make money online but realistically they all focus on making the blog owner more money without regard to the products or services pitched. While there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that I will be generating at least some revenue, I will use the IBWT.com blog to showcase products and services which I truly believe will help - not showcasing products just because they earn a good commission.

While I will continue to post here occasionally, I will note that most of my internet and network marketing training will be diverted to the new site.

Check it out and leave me a comment at IBWT.com!

Are you “Stuck” in your Business?

This is not going to be a long post but I wanted to share with you a small bit from a friend of mine, who happens to be a member of a marketing alliance with me.

There are many times in our business lives that we seem to lose focus or seem like we have nowhere to go. Oftentimes, it is as simple as getting off our butts and doing something about it but sometimes it can be more than that.

Tim Gary - someone I feel comfortable to call a friend, created a new set of audio on his site, which he dubs “Beyond Unstuck” and is kind of what you would consider a kick yourself in the butt series. I was fortunate enough to get a preview of the product and was actually quite impressed with what he had put together. For anyone serious about making money online, you have to have clear goals and a way to achieve them. Tim has put together a STEAL of a package to help you get “unstuck”. I was actually quite shocked when I found out he was giving access to it for $50.

Check out the “Beyond Unstuck” series. With a 60 day money back guarantee you don’t have anything to lose.

Why Real Estate agents are so successful in Monavie

While checking my web statistics (I use Google Analytics), I noticed that there were several people who searched for “why real estate agents are so successful in Monavie” so I thought I would touch base on this.

Any type of sales-type jobs requires a certain skillset, typically the ability to be able to talk to people about a product, whether a house or a bottle of juice. Also, real estate agents typically have a larger “sphere of influence”, or circle or people they know and typically that sphere is more “opportunity” oriented and business oriented.

Real Estate Agents are so successful in Monavie for much the same reasons that they would be more successful in any other network marketing business - they tend to be slightly more driven to create a sustainable business and realize from their real estate work that you have to work to obtain leads and turn those leads into sales or distributors. Real estate agents are typically more focused on building the business and are familiar with the model since many companies give recruiting bonuses and/or overrides on other agents. In other words, they don’t balk at the idea of recruiting other members. They have been recruiting other real estate agents and recruiting someone for their own business is typically much easier than recruiting for your real estate firm.

All in all, it is not that real estate agents are more successful in Monavie - they would be just as successful in any other network marketing company because they know the systems work.

If you are interested in learning how to make money in Monavie or any other network marketing venture, just contact me through my contact form on this website. If you are looking for a comparable product, which I personally believe to be a better product AND I think the earning potential is much better for the AVERAGE person, visit my AcaiPlus website.

What is your Online Customer Service like?

Customer service is the key to performing well in any business, but especially online business. When you are not face to face with someone, it is increasingly important that you maintain good communications and do what you can to get customer referrals and repeat business, but some companies, like Unique Article Wizard don’t have the same thoughts it appears.

On December 13th, I contacted UAW through their online ticket system in reference to some basic questions for an article I wanted to present to the members of my Tech Realty® mailing list, which services hundreds of thousands of real estate and mortgage professionals. UAW stood to make a lot of money off of orders that this one article could have sent them but I could not even get someone to give me an email to send my interview sheet to.

I have been using Unique Article Wizard’s WordPress plug-in for quite a while. I recently started using their front-end service to create articles which are spun into several different versions to get around duplicate content issues. The service itself is great! I really do like the idea that I can write one article, make a few changes within the online interface and get hundreds, possibly thousands of unique articles sent out all over the web - all with backlinks to my sites.

So I guess the big question here is - if you have a superior product, can you get away with poor support?

Domain Owners Make More Money

If you own your own domain name (or multiple as many of us do), and you live in English-speaking North America, you could start making more money off your domains as early as today and as late as next week.

Google just announced their Adsense for Domains program being rolled out to their publishers in the English speaking North American market with plans to extend it later.  For those of us who have been using Sedo for years - this is an AWESOME announcement. I know from personal experience that my domains with Sedo produce a lot of traffic and decent conversion rates, however, they only pay about 6 cents per click. the cost per action is way too low to make any serious money off of them.

For those of you who bought my old book a few years ago about buying expired domains and utilizing them for traffic, you may even want to consider using that information to use through the new Google Adsense for Domains program.

I feel that this was a very smart move by Google and will help increase the money you make off your sitting domains as well as potentially increase the cost per action (CPA) on other networks as they ultimately start fighting to retain their market share. It will be interesting to see what industry leaders do to maintain their income once this really starts going full swing. After all, who wouldn’t rather get 3-4 times the money off their domains?

The Problem with offering Resell Rights

I have been marketing products and services online for about a decade and have seen many “big names” come and go and many more who tried to pretend to be a big name come and go. Over the course, I have noticed that many of these big names make a lot of money quickly but then once their ideas run low, they run out. This brought me to ask why?

By the title of this post, you can probably assume what the answer is but what you may not know is that offering resell rights on products is the quickest way to make money NOW. If you had a digital product that you wanted to sell for $30 but you decide to let others sell it too as a “bonus” then you increase the chances of selling a lot of copies now. Many people have taken this a step further and upped the price to get the resell rights. This creates an urgency. Other marketers will buy the product quickly so they can get it up on their websites and sell it quickly to turn a profit. The fact of the matter is that many of them will not make any money off it but they will continue buying for the hopes of getting that one product that sells well.

So, you may ask - what is the problem with offering resell rights? When you sell resell rights and have numerous other people selling your product, you ultimately lose out on NUMEROUS potential customers and you are directly supplying your competition. If you sell resell rights to Joe for $50 on a $30 product and Joe goes out and sells 20 copies, you just lost a potential $600 (20 * $30). Now, Joe is probably reaching people you may not have at the beginning but that may have found you later.

When a product gets over-saturated in the market, it dies. look at any great product launch and you can see this. Are you still using tools from a year ago? two years ago? New products create new hype but new-found old tools can be goldmines if thousands of others are not doing the same.

There are products which can be very successful under the resell rights model but this post is just to get you to think about it beforehand. Ask yourself ONE question before offering resell rights - “What is the long term marketability of the product you are selling?” If you can say with good certainty that it is a viable product long term, then you probably should not use resell rights - try an affiliate program instead.
