This post comes shortly after my 1000th post at an affiliate marketing forum (<<You should read it - I gave away tons of free profitable campaigns) or webmaster forum… I signed up to DOZENS years and years ago, and went through signing up to about 20 (or perhaps ‘resigning up’ would be more accurate) about a year or so ago…

It can be a rather… intimate experience, one part of you is just trying to fit in with this group, another part of you is absorbing and filtering the bullshit, another part of you wants to network, and yes for many these plague infested fcuking forums are also filled with spammers, wankers, scammers, wannabees, and HILARIOUSLY fubar signature links with all of them chasing the same nickel… Now don’t get me wrong, forum marketing is HUGE, and I love it myself, and use signature links too however what I find fascinating are the kids that blatantly put “Make 7K your first 3 weeks online” - yet proceed to ask the stupidest and most basic questions totally diluting his own credit and being a broken inglush hypocrite … . .. Grrrr.. . …

So - in light of this new little milestone and being loyal to xx forums, and constantly refining my journey through them all, I’m going to try to offer a non-biased straight up look at the truth about each forum below. Please feel free to drop your opinions or agree/disagree with me - I AM going to offer a few of my ‘opinions’ here as well.

1. NicheChoppers Marketing and webmaster forums
100% Free, No paid sections yet, Na ads! must sign up to view most goods:
Visit: http://forums.nichechoppers.com

^^ I’m obviously going to have to spam my own first - it’s newer than most, is JUST starting to get busy, and I’M GLAD I waited a year of being loyal to others before really shaping and recruiting into mine - in short: No hassle bung free environment, moderated well, rather aggressive yet loose approach, tying my family in a little tighter with each day. Closed loop family with success stories, tons of step by steps, growing daily.

2. Digital Point review - Visit: http://forums.digitalpoint.com
Usually where most people start at, it’s HUGE and full of…. crap:however is also the forum I myself had to filter and waste time at for over 1000 posts (1001 at this time) before handing in my diet card and bowing out… I’ll be back, however probably just to laugh at the de ja vu of stupidity and horrible moderation. If it’s one thing DP has, it is shear SIZE and the fact that it is always BUSY - however at the same time is FULL of just… everything bad with this industry, like everything…

I personally must have helped get 20-30 idiots banned from there… FACK makes me angry thinking about that place!! If you’re a TOTAL n00b, enjoy the rare little golden nugget you can find in there, and don’t buy ebooks or click on signature links unless you view it from a marketing point of view not a consumer… (Hi guys, miss me yet?). If DP let ME run the boat for a few days, I’d a) kick a lot of people off b) get BETTER MODS c) Monetize it better d) Change the colors

3. WarriorForum review - Visit: http://warriorforum.com/forum/
Well, definitely a step up from DP!! WF is known to have a TON of the bigger ebook and digital products/services players all hawking their newest WSO (Warrior Special Offer) to each other and there is a LOT of padding, and patting! Hey I myself have sold a few things in their WSO section, and their JV section is actually pretty good if you’re scouting for new offers, launching, or looking to partner up with someone on a project…

I thought about dropping some names here but I’m not that kind with my link juice yet… and this blog seems to do great with ranking - so perhaps I’ll give some props to at least one person I can say a LOT about in there so far - and that is Nicholas from MasteredManuscripts << Great writer.

4. ClickBankSuccess review - Visit: http://clickbanksuccessforum.com/forum/
Once I joined CB - I wanted to start scouting for AFF’s and for pubs alike, thus joining CB’s appointed forum… I liked it a lot more at first than I do today - Main reason is it might as well be a ’support’ forum as their rules and door are quite tight re what you can/can’t talk about… If you so much as question whether or not CB is down/acting up/failing, the post gets removed and you may get banned… I can see why they do it and I would hate that on my forum too, so perhaps a stupid example but overall - THEY’RE TIGHT!

The good part is you’ll find a LOT of both CB n00bs and pro’s asking/answering GOOD and relevant CB questions. Though even with their own appointed forum - DP’s CB section alone easily compares to the activity and n00bness factor in each… (GUYS - A FEW FCUKING STICKIES!! THAT’S ALL IT TAKES TO STOP DUMB QUESTIONS AND FAST-TRACK PEOPLE - oh wait, you WANT dumb questions, versioned intel, make them ask… more threads and posts right??).. meh, sorry they’re all like that to a point not just this one. So yes, stickies and loosen the tie a little please.

5. ABW - AbestWeb review - Visit: http://www.abestweb.com
Perhaps the ONLY forum I’ve ever been banned from and kicked off of… wankers! I made a HUGE blog and formal complaint about it a while back but decided to remove it due to their response/reaction… more wankers! Also very busy, MANY top level brands and bullshit commission structures on things like carpets/rugs/tangibles/etc… Lot’s of pro’s and I heard the owner can be a nice guy, but the short lived days I had there proved him and his crew otherwise…

In short: I launched a Recruitment and affiliate spy software (TFRP), and paid to put up a advertorial/recruitment post… The first response was a hidden insult at my whole program FROM A FCUKING MOD - Referencing another new member and getting the whole crew to come to my paid thread, and rip me plus my program to pieces… Ok cool, I got to show some colors too, and have a good look around at all their sigs, their thread style, their learning curve/operation etc… and can only say that the elitists there do a good job of making n00bs stay n00bs, and detouring any chance of real earnings with mouthy personal bullshit back and forth, ‘at least put some humor into it you WF wannabees’. Anyway so within a day, I got thousands of views, some PR, some negative buzz, a lot of affiliates, and a pissed off group of elitists for not ‘freaking out’ like I’m sure they hoped…

Finally posted my final ‘fcuk you and have a nice day, I’m out’ but in a very gentle way, and my post got removed, then my whole paid thread got removed… then got a refund and a ban and kick in the ass out the door for standing up for myself, because I was vexed that a MOD would make an idiot out of a sponsor/paying member publically (hi Trust - hope all is well in ‘fun’ mod land)- wankers! Before all this drama - I was STARTING to like SOME of the banter and the members and offers/pubs…, however will still say that most are stuck on selling rugs and see 3-12% commission on $59 offers as ‘amazing’ programs, SAS seems to have them by the balls along with a few other networks, and the digital arena products/services is just ’stench’ to them…. On the flip side - THEY BANK (just needs some clean up with operations/day to day bullshit they allow). **Oh and too much advertising imo too (I know they’re for profit, but c’mon - easy on the offers man - way to make me feel UNcommunity - what is this church? You’re waiving a money basket at me when I just got here??).

6. 5staraffiliateprograms.com review - Visit: http://www.5staraffiliateprograms.com/
One word - WOW - More on the corporate side of things, LARRY IS DA BOMB - and the main owner is actually really cool and involved with the op fairly intimately so the moderation is par… perhaps a tiny bit tight but for the programs and offers/clients/recruiters etc. that they attract, I think it’s best this way - To note the above - if ABW mods and members came to 5star, they’d get wake up call that’s for sure.

This place is like an affiliate and publisher wonderland full of anything and everything to do with our industry. News, gossip and funny banter is minimal - rather expect a mix of dry humor with witty banter and low tolerance to crapola. Also home to many networks sponsor threads and good recruiters/programs for all levels of experience. I said this once on there before - “Every Forum Needs A Larry” - And just might make him a t-shirt that says that oneday… Known not to sleep for 3 days because he actually PM’s just about everyone/anyone for any reason or just to help, or break their posting cherry, etc… (Wonder what he’s worth actually - most committed employee I’ve ever seen)… Kudos to you guys, sorry I’m not there as much, get an easier to remember domain and I’ll stop wasting time trying to get there and giving up .. . .. Jokes.

6. WickedFire GAY MARKETING FORUM review - Visit: http://www.wickedfire.com/
Two words - HOLY SHIT - “They can actually get away with this stuff?!?!” is probably the first thing you’ll think before visiting less than 4 threads. Perhaps the most diehard and down to earth AM forum - DEFINITELY NOT A PLACE FOR N00BS!! Lucky my name is Norb not noob - and although I PHAILED MISERABLY there on occasion - I’ll easily say that this is one of the best and upbeat places to mingle/stay active (just don’t transition from DP to there and you’ll be fine - maybe).

Amazing names and faces, top level industry veterans along with perhaps the most lethal dose of internweb humor you’ll ever experience… It’s like a Seinfeld episode and Kramer is 10x as fuct, mixed with many elements of ’survivor’ and a splash of ‘reality fcuk you’ daily n00by disaster pwnage…

All fun aside though - I’ve been there a little more often recently and after getting pwned myself, I’m making headway and gaining a few points with their elite .. . … i thinkz… See - if you haven’t been there you’ll think I’m an ass for calling it a gay marketing forum in the title lol, however once you get there and read some threads, you’ll see what I mean (no they are not actually gay - and no you should NEVER click on things - even when they look absolutely harmless… TRUST ME DON’T DO IT!!!) - it’s home to the most epic dickroll since the inception of the interweb, and you’ll be scarred for life!

Ok as you can see I’m really liking this one. However perhaps more than most others because it has a LOT of EDGE - kinda like me, though I’m quite tame in comparison - it’s amazing what they actually DO get away with - I won’t spoil it, and I won’t promise YOU will like it or fit in or get liked, but I will promise that it is packed with everything from black/blue/white/fcuking polkadot hat tactics, n00b guides, great threads, and an addictive humor base to boot.

6. WebmasterForums review - Visit: http://www.webmasterforums.com/
Kinda dry really, I think this was one of the ones I signed up to eonz ago and didn’t like it too much then either. It’s not that it’s bad - it’s just that I have to compare it with a LOT of other shtuff above - and that shtuff is just.. better.

Anyway - It’s got some great technoids that do seem to enjoy that side of the industry a lot more than actually making money (being a webmaster) - Not as busy as some of the others, not as intimate, and a lot of the threads are hard to decipher as it attracts a LOT of foreigners with horrible typing (god bless you all however you’re trying to break into the MARKETING spectrum in English speaking markets - you NEED to par up your writing/grammar before trying to be some expert/guru/makehmoniez ebook developer…)… Sorry but I’m giving this and DP the same playing field and user experience rating… At least this one laid out a little better and the pros/mods seems to care for the community a little more.

7. eWealth review - Visit: http://www.eWealth.com
I like it - Not as busy as many of the others, however home to many big names as well as great focused community involvement. Things to look for are the interviews with the pros, the announcements for programs/callouts to affs, and a well spread section for a few networks out there… Can’t really say too much more about it! 4.5 stars! (Good mods/good humor from senior members).

8. BlackHatWorld review - Visit: http://www.blackhatworld.com
Retarted amounts of info and ‘tools’ are available on this forum. If you’ve ever wanted to venture over to the wrong side of the digital legal tracks and see how to monetize them… this is the place to learn. It’s kinda funny actually - as my loyalty grew to this one slowly, I noticed that it’s actually filled with 80% n00bs too, most have no clue how or what all this BH stuff is, but want to eagerly learn/explore, and thus these n00bs probably (imo) evolve into amazing whitehat/greyhat marketers very quickly. I like hanging out in there sometimes because they don’t sugar coat shit, they don’t tollerate dumbasses, they explore and document sooo many tactics that you’ve probably never thought to do (and will probably be too chicken shit to try).

Once you get your initiation out of the way it’s smooth sailing… Not nearly as ‘bad’ as you’d think re the people or the vibe. Cheers to the admins/mods there they’ve been great to me (had a bunch of my shit shared there, and they actually have a blacklist for people like me to add their progs to make sure members don’t share them or they get banned - woot! And of course - I had to learn the hard way - everyones initiation is different)…

Damn I gotta run, was hoping to do at least 10 - perhaps I’ll do volume 2 later though I probably won’t… So in closing - yes I’ll probably still poke my head into all xx forums, no I probably won’t be signing up to anymore, HELL NO will I NEVER be paying for them like many dumbasses do, and HELL NO I don’t think I’ll be making my 2000th post at DP anytime soon…

I tried to raw - sorry if any of you owners read this and don’t like it - perhaps my own forum will now be under scrutiny but that’s fine mine is still a baby and has no $ agenda other than to honestly make my team money - because they sell my products they also make me money - so it’s in my best interest to make sure my forum, my family and my crew earn well, learn well and grow fast… /shameless plug.

Deep Thoughts about marketing online… Never thought I’d belong to a ‘gang’… but…

I, along with 500,000 others belong to a very elusive yet blatant group of digital entrepreneurs known as todays digital cartel or mafia. We still operate on the right side of the law, and 99% of us are simply trying our best to work from home and be a soldier in the affiliate marketing arena. Equipped with complex distribution systems, lucrative and attractive recruitment systems, stealth training in the art of influence, global outreach and addictive products - we account for billions of dollars that are spent and earned each year on the internet.

It’s almost too close for comfort when you compare this industry to any world renowned underground movement.

The Top Tier: The Networks - always taking a cut from everybody - the merchants setup fees, to transaction charges, to affiliates earnings, to your earnings, to penalties, etc. etc. - they will always be the biggest earners and rule makers. Rightfully so as they are the most important ‘organizers’ of our world.

The Production Houses and Product Lines: The people behind the manufacturing and assembly of any widget you can think of both on and offline (we’re still thinking on the legal side of the tracks here). They are next most important element in this world - without stuff to sell, there would be no point in any of this right?

The Bosses: These are usually known as your AM’s (affiliate managers). They are always keeping close watch on their chapter of the gang, ensuring a proper role is made and met by each individual in their chapter. When it’s a sensitive chapter, new members must be accepted individually and many are denied access and membership time and time again. Most AM’s are praised for their leadership skills and knowledge base when it comes to our world. Some are unfortunately also participating in secret alliances within their own eco-system robbing the gang blind. AM’s are often also responsible for recruiting, in fact many times they are rewarded for getting their chapter to recruit another tier of members, as is each member that does so successfully.

The Soldiers: Ahhhhh the soldiers. You can NEVER have enough soldiers. These are the 450,000 work from home enthusiasts who either make or break the bank with their time and efforts trying to move the product pushed down through the hierarchy above. If the bosses were expected to move this much product worldwide on their own, they would grow old and gray before they accomplished 10% of what the soldiers accomplish in a day. Soldiers are the ones that really drive the fiscal earnings for the hierarchy. Without them, our eco-system would also die.

The Customers: Well, no brainer here, the entire tree above is rendered irrelevant if there are no customers right? There needs to be a demand for your gangs product. If there is no demand, you need to influence one, you need to create awareness, give some product away for free - get the word out about getting your fix quick with a new and better solution than the last one… it ALWAYS gets better, and when mass awareness is generated, mass appeal is created, and demand is instigated. Much like bombarding teens with alcohol ads, the brands that reach them the most often and relate the deepest, are the ones these teens will stay loyal to for generations… influencing awareness/appeal/demand is very much alive in any eco-system of profit.

The MONEY: Now that you’ve gone through the most important parts of the hierarchy, it’s time to look at the most of important part and whole point of this gangland fraud infested digital warzone of an eco-system, the benjamins… the food that gets shared among all the predators and prey… All of this stuff above is a huge puzzle of odd shaped and complex pieces, that when put together - paint a very detailed and organized flow of profit/food at each level. It’s not just the average computer thug that is a part of this circuit of warriors either. We are doctors, lawyers, teenagers, teachers, moms, students, and anyone in the world that is connected to the internet. We are not a rare breed, rather a very intelligent one. We understand and analyze very complex scenarios in our battleground and create road maps to money, to defeating rival gangs or pushing more of your local mass appeal products… . .. It’s a beautiful honeycomb, filled with different levels of order, everyone working against each other yet together because we realize the importance of each role in our eco-system.

Often times each level of order and conduct expected is flawed, and though the ranks of the ladder are willfully grown climbed slowly - many are plagued with disease and soldiers gone wild, or cooked bosses and policy enforcers… Some common scenarios:

The initiation: This is just like entering a gang, instead of getting your A** kicked for 30 seconds, you get the label ‘newbie’, and must endure great agony via absorbing and dissecting countless bulls**t ebooks, videos, audio guides, reading forums, discovering how the eco-system works before you start learning what soldier boot camp even means…

The first hit: You finally got through your newbie days and got your first stripe by assigning yourself your first contract and task for your gang - to go out there and create an awareness campaign for your chosen product to push - and finally - you successfully converted your very first customers. You now understand and have proven the system is indeed real and alive, and thus you pledge allegiance that this gang is worth the blood in blood out… errr.. the money/time in - money out risk, you decide to dedicate the next phase of your life into this. By now you are usually close with an AM or a boss, have shown loyalty to a network and a production house, and have many allies/soldiers you have created alliances with.

Your first bit of real food: You’ve been hungry, you’ve been through fluctuations, you’ve set a big return on your hits and finally - you got your first check in the mail that’s worth mentioning or showing proudly to your mates/family - this is your first badge of honor. Your first reward worthy of an ear to ear smile and a little celebration before heading back into the battlefield.

Your brilliant idea. You’ve been a great soldier and one day get hit with an idea like a brick at your head - YOU are going to become a boss… and you will either step on toes and come out on top as one of the self appointed leaders with loyalty - OR - you will get shot down by other leaders, or by networks, or by soldiers, or even by no fault of your own however the ‘demand’ part of the equation above just doesn’t fall in your favor - so you crawl back into your soldier uniform and give it a few more big contracts before attempting THAT again.

Getting Robbed: Not at knife point, and not for your shoes or wallet… not at night in an alleyway either - EVERY single part of our eco-system gets robbed in many shady and carefully planned ways. For every smart CEO and security specialist, there is an equally smart dark side leader - just itching to get in on your loopholes, your products, your earnings. It’s simply a part of our nature. Some robberies are much worse than others, however luckily there is no violence or life loss in our jungle - simply bandwidth, virtual losses, financial losses and reputation, the odd time the robbers end up in jail however usually they are just kicked out of the gang with no help from bosses, and are left hungry/stripped of their recent rewards and food.

Getting out of the game: It’s tough, it’s an addiction, it’s all some know and want to know. Getting discharged as a soldier in this field sucks, but that doesn’t make you want to stop usually… Making money on the web is more than a hobby to most, and is a full time living to many. While it has it’s rude awakenings and comes with a need of a strong stomach and will to survive - it can be QUITE a lucrative journey if you belong to the right chapter, are loyal to your bosses and respect the morals/ethics and rules of the top tier organizers. None the less the turnover rate in this eco-system is HUGE, and is mostly among the soldiers, hence the constant and never ending supply of new gangs and bosses keep showing up trying to recruit to their gang - many fade quickly along with their whole chapter.

Even deeper than money: What thrives all this buzzing around above that goes deeper than the green monster? The yearning to set yourself free from the modern day slavery, as even sitting in front of a computer writing on this blog is not as beautiful as the beach and palm trees I should be sitting at. The keyword here = SUCCESS. << As long as there is the ability to be better and more stable than the next person, and as long as there is awareness/influence/demand/instigation, there will always be an uneven and viral influence of greed, hunger, growth, and addiction to success. As much as I preach it - I too, am still hungry for more, content but truly looking forward to the days I can spend less time in front of a screen and more time enjoying this planet and its wonders without the need of ANY eco-system but the one I create for myself at will… Cheers to that day, and may each and every one of you reach it too.

Bless you all, take a deep look at yourself and figure out what role you play in this - and if you’re new and have no clue what I just rambled about here - chances are it’s a good thing today, as this shark infested pool we call marketing is a rollercoaster ride, and fear will eat away at any man that entertains it - so if you’re looking to get into this eco-system please bring back up (time and money), please bring patience (willingness to learn and grow, and get scammed, and fail, and and and), please bring your A+ game, and please play by the rules of not only the top tiers, but of the unspoken rules of the digital streets too.

Hi guys,

It’s not too often that you’ll see me do reviews on here - but when I do - you can be sure that a) Nobody paid me to write them a testimonial (errr review), I have no interest in filling anyones head with bulls***, and I do affiliate marketing for a part of my living so I will proudly use my aff link here - and ask that if you do end up grabbing your copy from my links, simply drop me a comment or get in touch, and I’ll throw you something from my goodie bag/vault for doing so as my thank you - there now we both win and you get more prime-rib (you know what i mean… . . ..).

So as any smart marketer - when you are given the chance to do some work and partner up with another industry veteran, you take it with a smile and run with it’! I’m not talking about Mark Warren or the Rich Jerk - I’m talking about current, up to date, ‘hot and always making money moves’ types of guys.. . … You’ve heard of PlayersWithMoney, Project BlackMask, and if the name Alex Goad doesn’t ring a bell just yet - well let me introduce you to the man himself: This is from a previous project that made a loooot of money, for a loooot of people.

So today - I’m on MSN with Alex and discover that he’s at it again - on the 10th of June, at 12EST - another banger is about to drop from his studio called the Four Tier Annihilation Method.

Now - lucky me - I get to swap my uber new projects with associates as we launch our new projects to get some top level feedback and reviews.. . … and I’ll say that if there is another media publisher I can show great respect to off the bat - it’s Alex. Here’s why - You know how most marketers are making heavy claims and love to brag about the newest techniques while it’s just about the packaging and names that change most times…?, Well it’s to the point where any top level marketer can look at the industry and EASILY say ‘The Market Is Filled With CRAP!’ To be honest - I can’t agree more - and it’s been this way for quite some time!! It really makes any new to intermediate affiliate marketer stop and think “Who the HECK DO I TRUST?!” Everyone and their brother is a marketer or affiliate marketing wannabee nowadays, and taking the ’steps to success’ from the wrong people will have you chasing your tail while you spend time and money on - more - CRAP! So watch here as Alex takes a bite into the topic and breaks it down while introducing the 4tam - 4 tier annihilation method in video - in person - Watch The Four Tier Video By Alex Goad Here

After watching this video - I was like “Ok Alex - I like it - it speaks volume about the industry - so show me the goods, the pitch is priceless so far…“… . .. And in turn came this beautiful little link - which took me to the page where I could download four tier annihilation for free and carefully check out. .. … Oh boy - so this thing launches in a few days, and here I am looking at the core of the project brought to you by another six figure earner… . .. - 160 or so pages of .pdf prime rib - and a set of videos as Alex walks you through the 4 tiers himself.

Conclusion? Well - I’ve been here for almost 12 years now (living/working/earning/playing online on a daily), I’ve seen MANY publishers and affiliates come and go, I’ve seen TONS of products do pump and dumps, launch/sink, I’ve helped 600+ vendors now, and I can definitely offer a real core view of a products worth if I do say so myself (that’s a lot of ‘I’s’ - sorry). In short - after watching the videos and absorbing highlights in the book - I’m not even sure who to recommend this to.

4TAM covers just about anything a newbie is going to need for these marketing methods, and the more experienced folks are going to have a hayday with the simplicity of it all.. . … I have been asked to keep this very light as I review it, as to not even give a hint of ‘what/how/why/methods/tactics’ so I’m sorry if it’s a bit unfair however I cannot disclose any actual tiers or methods used, let’s just say that if you ‘take the steps’ which are conveniently outlined for you in video AND literary format, and put in your dues - YOU will undoubtedly see results and MONEY start to FINALLY show face in your accounts.. … .!!

Alex - should you read this (I know you will :P), thank you kindly for the opportunity to review your newest crushing methods, not only will I support this and refer other marketers to do the same, but I encourage you to never stop unleashing these top quality products - there aren’t many like us - the affiliates respond well for a reason - it’s all about quality/packaging/real intel by real successful people, but most importantly it’s all about people skills, only then do you really know how to communicate - thus enable an amazing approach to ‘marketing’ at any level - so keep truckin’ Mr. Goad!!!

Again: Here is the link to get in on this - and if you end up grabbing a copy through my referral links, please drop me a comment or email me, i’ll throw in a lil’ something to make your learning experience with Alex even more valuable than it already is… . .. Four Tier Annihilation Method

Thank you,
NC.

You’ve seen them, you’ve been ‘wowed’ by their power and by the amazing CMS (Content Management Systems) capabilities, and now you’re wondering “Do these guys really make any money with this stuff? It’s just some opinions and some text and some graphics/banners/aff link…?”.

Truthfully? You can make millions from these blogs - especially once you make your first one and prove that you can profit from it. Do I make millions with this one? Nope, not yet anyway - my blog has been up for a few months, during that time, one month it was down due to a server switch and careful customization/setup, and even now as I write, the blog itself is still NOT complete… However, having said that - blogs can be made into a wonderful income generator if they are setup properly…

1. If you are promoting someone elses product as an affiliate, it is relatively easy to get yourself a blog or wordpress theme, and buy a relative domain name to forward it to. The more SEO you throw at it, or the more plugins you get to help, the better! IF you are making it product centric, you can easily convert clicks and not deviate from your goal to monetize the offer you are pushing.

2. This is what I see most- and I KNOW it does not yield optimum results. If you set up a ‘make money online’ free blog with no customization or flare, just another plain blog, and throw tons of products on it, say by making it a review site - your efforts will be short lived imo. I think the biggest mistake I’m seeing is when people make blogs with 10 or so products, and promote 2-3 of those products in articles, youtube etc. just to get clicks to the blog first. Once at that blog, the person is distracted and tempted with 10 other products that you have endorsed… Chances are you just lost them before they even got to your site. If you heavily endorse a product, create your blog around THAT product and only THAT product, do not let the reader be distracted by any other offers or exits, leave them with as little room as possible for ‘decision making’.

3. LEARN SEO - Even if that means spending two-three weeks in advance of creating your blog - you MUST understand SEO so you can target keywords in various ways throughout your posts to attract your targeted visitors. If you do not know SEO - you might be setting yourself up for failure before you even start.

4. Do NOT create 10 blogs and interlink them - at least not yet. Your first task is to understand how they work, what the possibilities and restrictions are, and to MASTER your first blog so you can create others with just as much density and SEO. Otherwise you’ll have many ‘mediocre’ blogs and no matter how many you make it won’t make a difference for backlinks and quicker raises in your results.

5. Nowadays there are auto content generators, auto commenting in do follow blogs, auto searches and keyword stuffs… so many little tricks and fake generators that you can probably notice the difference right away as any reader would. This is not ideal - Your blog should be filled with useful, original and great content that YOU yourself have written or acquired - do NOT steal or imitate others ideas and posts, simply BE ORIGINAL and google/other SE’s will love it.

6. Don’t forget, google, msn, yahoo search engine bots are like a 6 year old, they do not like to be confused, yet they get confused easily so your objective is not to trick them knowingly, but to rather give them exactly what they want - feed them in a way that will not confuse them or put them in a loop.

7. Branding - I can talk about this one forever so I will make it brief. Notice how my blog is quite original and you will not find one like it elsewhere (unless people start copying it). The better job you can do with your branding, the more readership you will attract, and the more respect/authority you will portray. Nobody likes looking at stale or standard templates no matter how good your content is, make sure your blog is at least well put together and well thought out visually. Logo, colors, typography sets, graphics, taglines, white space, etc.

8. Sometimes I feel that those who have absolutely NO intention of monetizing their blogs get the most attention. Why? Because their objective is pure - they give google and others real content to index that is clearly not an ‘ad’ or meant to monetize… Google might be like a 6 year old, however you must think - how many webmasters try to take advantage of it everyday with potent SEO tricks? Their algorithm changes a lot and though it acts like a 6 year old, it’s filter to crap is that of a world leading veteran… So - content is king after all - make sure your content is GREAT and you will succeed. Take time with your writing, take time with your formatting, take time with thinking about what to write. Get a lil’ personal, that works well for me. Write to your readers on a one to one, tell them a story, bring them into your world a little deeper than others, and YOU - will have them hooked and subscribing to your feed in no time.

9. I’m sorry that this post does not have a clear step by step of how to make money with your blog - so in closing, there are countless ways to monetize it including:

*Get a clickbank or paydotcom or CJ or linkshare or shareasale or other network account (free).
*Pick a sector of business or life in general that you love, and start acquiring the top 3 products in that sector. You will soon be promoting these products and affiliate links from your ‘one to one’ blog.
*Get adsense - this is only going to make you pennies per click however if your blog goes HUGE - it can be a good little stream of income.
*Advertise for people - allow a banner spot or 2 or 10 with pricing for each.
*Offer reviews of products for a fee - your client will have a professional review, backlinks to their site and most people will read it before buying as they research what they are about to purchase…
*Sell your own ebook/digital product and get a paypal account, you can create PayPal buttons right in your posts and collect directly from your blog.
*If your blog is for a good non-profit cause, put a ‘donation’ button/box in all your posts or on your interface somewhere.

A good scenario: You get a blog, about life - it costs you $10 - lets say you get www.allaboutlife.com <<I’m sure that’s not available but good example. Now you can write all about life and endorse anything and everything.

Now you get an account somewhere like clickbank, pick a product YOU LOVE << get a domain name for it. Now promote that domain in your blog Here is a video to better explain this:

I must finish as it’s long weekend here in Toronto and I can here the firecrackers starting to go off so I’m gone to the beach to watch the show! Enjoy and I hope this teaches you enough that you get inspired to go to blogger or wordpress and start on one tonight!!

Cheers everyone and God Bless.

Make Money Online - But Make Some Offline Too!

Norb Czufis.

A recent interview I did that got transcribed: **If you are promoting this product, you are free to take this and use it in your promo.

Q1- “The Fat Rich Pig?” Why did you come up with a name like that?

NC Media -Well, I didn’t come up with the name first of all, however if I did want to launch this again, may be I would come up with something different…but…knowing that there are few other products out there in the market that :
a) have similar characteristics to this one and
b) The name itself: It just gives us so much room to play with when it comes to the branding perspective, and having the cartoon of the pig and having characters to work with… ahhh. The word ‘pig’ itself, I mean - we launched a couple forum announcements, and kids are just having a hay-day with this name…

So I know its kinda corny but none the less, the fat rich pig IS what it’s called, and basically the name is but a reflection of this whole industry. Everybody is trying to make money, enormous amounts of money in no time. If they could they’d be there yesterday, so it’s sort of a play on words, where we are calling the whole industry a big fat rich pig, and if you want it, its being offered to you right here in this cute little product.

Q2-What Is The Purpose Of This kit?

NC Media-At the end of the day there are two: One - basic education and fundamentals. The knowledge base you need in this industry grows every day, and the fundamentals don’t really change much. In fact and without those fundamentals, just learning todays new strategies, without having your grade 1 to grade 8 if you will, is very difficult.

So we take you through the grade 1 to grade 8 in funnels 2 wealth, which is the e-book, which is part one of this collection. Part two is the affiliate crusher, and what this does… actually it’s a part of the next question:

Q3-What Is The Purpose Of This Software And What Can it Really Do For Us ?

NC Media-So the purpose of the software itself, 2 words, ‘data mining’. At the end of the day, we spend, as marketers, a lot of time online mining data. Mining analytics, stats, traffic results, sales trends. You name it, you are always looking at your campaigns, you are trying to look at other marketers and see what they are doing…

So what this software finally does, is it takes a couple very popular market places out there, to name them clickbank and paydotcom in the first round, and we will probably add more later on… and you type in the name of a vendor or affiliate in our little tool… You are now going to pull up a lot of the campaigns that the marketers are using to promote the products that you just chose. Furthermore, it pulls up all the campaigns by their id’s within those marketplaces, so that you can now use the tool again to dump in those results that you just found. Now your are pulling up all of THAT affiliates campaigns for one specific product, so you can narrow in on one product within those marketplaces, or on one vendor, or one affiliate.

At the end of the day it’s competitive intelligence on steroids. It fast tracks what would take you probably a month or two… it can do in one night. Press the start button and it pulls up the results! If it’s a huge vendor or a huge affiliate, you are going to get tons of results. You might actually have to wait couple of hours sometimes, but then you literally have thousands of affiliates to contact, you have thousands of campaigns to spy on, to inspect, to basically build your knowledge base around what your competitors are doing… Then, you create campaigns to compete with those: Out do them, out write them, out recruit them, and come up with the biggest and baddest newest launch.

So we know that this is going to go viral, and we are going to attract pretty much any marketer out there because again, they are all trying to be fat rich pigs. Those who first come there think ‘why the heck did they name it with such a weird name I mean I wouldn’t name this….’ There is no such thing as bad publicity, it just kinda adds fuel to our fire, and if we piss of a couple of people so be it, I am sorry, that’s just the way branding works sometimes. Sometimes people make advertising and marketing campaigns based around very negative aspects in your life, they base them around influences in life, they base some around fears, and some around various anxieties in your life. They influence you…

So, we are just being straight up with it -We are fat rich pigs in this industry, you want to be like the big guys, so again this is the tool that’s gonna help you get there even faster. Once you get there you can call yourself a very clean, ethical, moral, rich pigglette. The rest of the world? They know us and they don’t like us, because we are big fat rich pigs…. .. .. so why not?

Q4-Why do us internet marketers need to have software like the fat rich pig by your side?

NC Media- If you want to protect yourself, this is the best way to do it, I would say that you need this on your side more then anything to protect your assets, your campaigns, your marketing, and most importantly protect your next moves, because this is going to probably dictate a lot of your next moves that you are going to make with your campaigns.

Q5-Is the fat rich pig only for the newbie’s or is it for all marketers out there?

NC Media-The fat rich pig is for everybody because it comes with the Funnels 2 Wealth kit that gives you all the fundamentals. If you’re an absolute newbie to the internet, you will still be able to get through this kit and follow along with our strategies and exercises within it.

This is for you to by pass that newbie learning curve that most get caught up in with months and months of buying crappy products. So this is going to just fast track you. It gives you the 2% that everybody else holds out on. They will give you 90, we will you that other 10… so that’s is why the newbie’s will see great value in this.

The upper level marketers, they will probably still be able to take a bit of information of out of the e-book, and if they don’t, most value for those people is going to be within the affiliate crusher software.

Q6-Why you’re revealing your secrets now?

NC Media-Well I am not revealing them now. The tool itself - there a lot of others out there like it, we had just developed it for our own internal use at first, and it started growing, the idea got big… When it was brought to me to publish it and to bring it online and launch it, it had already gone through its initial branding cycle and initial treatment.

So we had to rip it all the part and re-launch it, re-release it. So the software was actually out there but only for a bit in its infancy stage - and it didn’t get too much attention. Now, its on a whole different level. I am a big believer that there are no secrets on the internet though… there are tools out there that there are like this that exist - that have very high price points, that have monthly retention price points…

We are trying to really capitalize on a part of the market that I know isn’t really there yet, they don’t need or want to pay a monthly fee or a huge one time fee because they might get lost through it, they might not have enough knowledge or know what to do once they acquire all this great data.

Q7- Are you making all the gurus mad?

NC Media-I guess in one answer…. .. yes, I’m sure that there’s gurus out there in charge of other products or affiliates out there who don’t want anyone knowing how they promote. Of course we are making people mad. The scale of people mad versus the people that are happy for the small price point, once they get it - they are on level with everybody else, and they can get ahead of everybody else…

I would say that we make a heck of a lot more people very happy, than the few who are getting mad.

On a lighter note I did approach quite a few people for JV’s when this first launched, and I won’t name anybody but there were a couple that basically didn’t want to come on board and have somewhat lost touch with me since. And hey that’s all good!

That’s how this business goes sometimes, it’s a part of the business, and not everybody is meant to get along, and you will not always be liked, and you can’t always like everybody - But with my heart going out to all those people too, I am sure even though they might not like this too much…. .. I am sure they are going to get a copy.

Q8-If every single internet marketer gets this software, would you feel that you have accomplished something tremendous?

NC Media-Yes definitely, if every marketer on the planet…. I mean that’s in the millions, we would be very successful with saying that we obtained our objective to get this out to as many people as possible. At that point I think we will simply offer it as a free tool to anybody else who ever wanted it.

If this goes that big then it will just spiral into other things that we do. However me personally, once I get that Fat rich pig status, if you will, I am out! I am looking forward to getting off these computers and I am looking forward to enjoying life even more. I am already there some what and I am just looking to get more of that so that would my version of tremendously successful.

Not whether or not this makes billions, but whether or not it enables our team and those who are smart enough to get this fast, the ability to fast track our objectives which are actually to… obviously retire very quickly in life and enjoy the fruits of life

Q9- Do you think that the fat rich pig will really change internet marketing? Do you personally use the affiliate crusher software?

NC Media-Yes, I definitely think that it will change internet marketing, there are already tools out there - like I said, that ARE changing internet marketing… .. however with this one, it approaches the markets a little bit different.

You can use the tool to sell the tool, you can use the tool to sell whatever you are selling right now 10 times better, you can use the tool to spy on people that are launching a product, you can use the tool to spy on vendors if you are launching a similar product as that vendor, you can recruit all their affiliates. Of course things are going to change in your internet marketing world when you get your hands on this.

Do you personally use the affiliate crusher software?
I have been using it since the day I got my hands on it. Why? first and foremost its my job, I have been approached to make this better, make it bigger, make it launch with a great splash in the internet marketing world…

So I had to really get my hands dirty into the software, and through my journey of ripping it apart and trying to improve it ** and it WILL still improve guys, this is only the first version so it will grow** and using it for my own quantifiable proof of what this can and can’t do, so I know how to market it properly…. Oh boy - I have some fun with it; I made some money with it! I almost wish that this wasn’t launching just yet so that our internal team could use it for another year or so…. But at the same time I will still use it, I will keep using it, and “I am not only the president, I am also a client” like the old saying goes.

I am not only the publisher behind this but yes I am firm believer in the actual software and I do use it on a daily basis for my own statistic, just to even look at my own products that I am launching and off course for others. I have about 7 to 10 launches coming up, so I always have to know what move to make next and this tool really helps me do that.

It really helps me from a vendors point of view, it helps me sell as an affiliate, it helps me recruit, it helps me network…. There are just enormous amounts of opportunities in this tool, so I will use it and I will continue to use it .Thank you

Q10- When this software becomes membership site? Will it still be able to use it as it is right now?

NC Media-Yes, anyone who gets a copy before it goes monthly, will have life time use. That’s why it is hard to explain that on the page very easily but basically this will go to a monthly recurring bill eventually once we sell a certain amount of copies that we set as our objective.

Once that happens, this will be going into a monthly recurring bill, and those who do buy before it before that happens - will have life time use of the product.

Q11-Is the fat rich pig a scam?

NC Media-Go online and do some reviews, look at the videos, the proof is in front of you. There is no real room for this to be a scam; we have chosen a very left field marketing approach, very untraditional branding approach, and we have made a very aggressive marketing campaign because we tell people that they can spy on other affiliates, they can steal their commissions, they can recruit for other people vendors. It’s all true.

None of it is a scam, however I am noticing a lot of affiliates out there are promoting it as a scam “hey, if the fat rich pig is scam? Come take a look, let me tell you” They use that as an advantage to marketing it, so hey you can do that too, once you buy it, you are on the affiliates team and you can now go promote it. You can now tell people that you do, or don’t think its a scam, or let them find out for themselves.

But me personally, again going through diving in all the different aspects of the tool, diving through the e-book, reading it…. None of this is a scam, we definitely have to valuable of a name here at NC Media, that we cannot get involved with any scammy type products or projects. That is actually a vow to everybody else that’s thinking of approaching me now to do JV’s… if you run any type of scammy weird way to monetize the markets, that’s unacceptable and immoral, then we probably won’t work with you.

You might think that’s a hypocritical statement, because what we are doing here with this tool, you might view as unethical or immoral, but this is nothing more than data mining, this isn’t like cheating on your husband, wife… this is nothing negative. This is just simple data mining that we fast tracked. So, no I don’t feel bad about this what so ever, and no this is definitely not a scam.

Guess what guys?! Chances are you have already been spied on about 10 to 20 times by all the different affiliate software programs that are out there which you may know about or which you may not know about, any time you experience big fluctuations across your whole portfolio of conversions, don’t be surprised that it’s a competitor that has singled you out, that started a campaign last night in the middle of the night, just to take YOU specifically out.

So no I would not call it a scam, and to those who think it is a scam: Go use the software, use it to spy on other people - they will be calling you the scammer in return.

Q12-The testimonials that are on your page are real they testimonials ?

NC Media-110% and we would even love for you to get in touch with those people who provided us with those testimonials and they will vouch for us. Not only that, all those people that provided us with testimonials, they themselves now run amazing internet businesses. So get whatever tips you can get from them, network with them - those are valuable people.

Anyone that we do get involved with, that we offer testimonials from, we want to make sure that they are well developed marketers, we want to make sure that they can quantify what they are saying, because they have experience in the field. All those sites that have given us testimonials, all those people that have given us testimonials, are very reputable within the internet market industry so no they are not fake.

Yes, please go prove to me that they are fake if you do think they are, and get in touch with them - You will see for yourself that these are real people making real money using our software

Q13- Do You personally recommend fat pig to all the internet marketers?

NC Media-By hearing this whole interview I think by now you will assume ‘yes’, and the answer of course is yes. I would personally recommend this to any and all marketers online and offline. I wouldn’t even be surprised if those who aren’t in the software network/market start approaching us and saying “hey put us in there”.

I wouldn’t be surprised if affiliate managers start contacting us and saying “Hey, can you make one of these for us?”. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of other great things start happening from this project, so of course I’m going to recommend that any internet marketer and any marketers in general go get this kit. Use the data mining and competitive analytics tools to you advantage!

Feel free to write me in one day with your success story, I’d love to hear it and if you are in the right industry and in the right market, I will put your testimonial up no problem

Thanks *
NC.

Due to the recent boom with the digital product market - I am noticing more and more people in this game switch their day to day affiliate ventures to a more complex and potentially rewarding game - becoming a vendor.

“I GOT IT!! I’ve been doing ok as an affiliate, I think it’s time to start my own product and affiliate program…”

There are thousands of people that launch products everyday hoping and praying that the offer will convert well, and attract a huge crew of affiliates in order to maximize their time and leverage their ‘offer’. In fact - almost every single day when I login to the various marketing forums to see ‘what’s up’, I notice is yet another newbie vendor pushing a sales letter generated page and their new ‘product’. I would confidently say that 90% of them enter the market prematurely and get very few if ANY conversions - and so they now realize that affiliate marketing is sometimes better from the affiliate point of view - and they fail miserably at being a vendor.

Now - having said all that - what DOES one need to do in order to have a successful launch? to attract both super affiliates and customers by the dozen the moment it launches? How do you get affiliates if you have low stats or no stats? How do you get super affiliates to switch and properly recruit them to your programs? It’s a battle zone and shark pool if you ask me!

So - being here for a while myself now, and having gone through dozens of launches over the years for products, services, events, people, websites, tv shows and so on - I actually found the process to come somewhat natural to me. Some people are just born to be better vendors and business owners than others. Today is your lucky day because I’m going to expose many of my tactics to you so that perhaps YOU can give some REALLY good thought to your next launch, or your first one!

Step 1. “The idea” - You did it! You found a few niche markets, you mined them, you figured out a GREAT new product or service idea that would fit well in the marketplace… GREAT! You need to a)Make the product (e-book/video guide/audio guide/membership/etc-digital). b)Buy the product - if you don’t understand this - it’s called PLR (Private Label Rights) or MRR (Master Resale Rights) or white label rebranding etc. There is actually quite a few people out there that run PLR/MRR sites for software, e-books, reports etc. and it may not be hard to ‘find’ a cool product to monetize. So day one is complete, let’s say you chose a cooking recipe site with ebooks and audio guides for this example.

Step 2. “Recruitment” - Because your focus will not be customer based (yet), your focus will be affiliate recruitment - YOU NEED TO START NOW! You need to get your .com and put up an opt-in form right away, with your program description underneath it - i.e. “New recipe offer - Affiliates keep 75% - launching xx - come on board early and…”.

Step 3. “Your Brand” - Here is where most people go wrong. YOU MUST understand the importance of branding yourself well. YOU MUST! I can (and will) fill up 20 posts with branding alone - to be short and sweet though, make sure you have a great logo, style guide, color theme, font theme, stock photo theme, product/boxes/books/graphic theme, and importantly - GREAT navigation with your interface. This will take you a long time even if you outsource it however it will be worth it.

Step 4. “Your Site” - Today you will finalize your site: You made sure that - You designed it well. You either hired a copywriter or are a great writer yourself, you have an amazing greased slide read that is broken up well with graphics, bullets, and proper formatting. You have testimonials, proof of end results, great calls to action and your ‘order now’ area/links are very well thought out. Piece of cake right?

Step 5. “Your marketing” - Here is your affiliate recruitment page - this is a page that is filled with marketing material that you and your affiliates will use to go to market with. This is VERY important, the more assets you have to play with, the bigger your outreach and the stronger your penetration into the markets. For a good example of one of these pages visit: http://www.nichechoppers.com/niche-product-thefatrichpig.html

Step 6. Ok - Now you have enough done that you can or should have started to approach others who can act as helpers in your blitz campaign. Hopefully your front page is recruiting well, and you are keeping in touch with people that opted in once in a while to give them updates. Here you must announce your actual launch date, and make sure that you and your team all launch together to really ‘hit’ the markets. You show your team the marketing material and tell them to get ready to promote.

Step 7. You’re 2 weeks away - switch your front page to a HOT ‘coming soon - here is why YOU need this’ page. This page now has an opt-in for customers to fill out so you can notify them when you are ready to fulfill orders. Make an ‘affiliates’ button on the bottom of the page. Point it to your marketing material page.

Step 8. Setup a test campaign with google/yahoo/msn on your own to test the conversions of your sales page - YOU WILL need to tweak it, and will want to maximize it BEFORE your affiliates get their hands on it because if it does not convert for YOU - it won’t convert for them AND they will probably leave you shortly after their first test campaigns.

Step 9. You’re a few days away from your launch, you setup a back door for your affiliates to start to get some pre-sales and testing/warming up to their campaigns. You’ll probably have a lot of last minute adjustments that will need to be made. LISTEN to your affiliates and team - they are the ones that will automate your revenue streams- LISTEN to them.

Step 10. Launch Day - You give the green light to your affiliates, partners, list owners etc. that they can promote - right after you switch your index page (home page) to your official final draft of your sales letter. Once you do this it’s a rollercoaster from here - OR - it dies quickly and everyone leaves because the offer is defective and not converting. << It happens - and I myself cannot say that ‘every’ single launch I’ve had has been huge - but I CAN say that with each launch, things get better and seem even more natural, so if your first product is a bust - don’t sweat it, consider it a practice run.

Post Launch. You might think that as a vendor you have it made - things are easy - everyone is working for you - you just collect fat pay checks. Well ok some of that IS indeed true. However here is a part of being a vendor one often overlooks and then finds it tedious to have to render:

*Customer support - IF YOUR PRODUCT goes HUGE - YOU will have a LOT of customer support to deal with. That’s a ‘good’ thing though. I would rather deal with small little problems all day due to payments and order instead of chasing them to begin with - If I can make a million by dealing with peoples download problems or other delivery problems - my only answer is “pass me the phone I’ll start right now”.

*Affiliate recruitment - You’re always going to be recruiting into your army - ALWAYS - you’re like a gang leader, and must preach to your crew that they need to recruit too - however they will refuse because they want a small team - not a saturated one. You will always be recruiting don’t forget that.

*Affiliate support - Often uderestimated. Affiliates have their own set of needs, and you must tend to them. You must help them shape their campaigns, offer them advice, give them what they need in order to make YOU money.

*Maintenance/updates - You will need to make new creatives once in a while, new articles, new videos, new ’stuff’ in order to keep you and your affiliates campaigns fresh.

*Competitive Intel - You will need to watch those close to your circle, and see if they are doing anything sparatic that can potentially harm your positioning. Always know what your competitors are doing.

*Management - Day to day you will have various little things you’ll need to do. You’ll notice a few of your affiliates might be bad apples, you’ll notice your site slow down or error or get hacked, you’ll notice you’re NOT converting NOR is anyone for a while, you’ll have to keep your ship running smoothly and with a smile yet firm and confident nature. Don’t forget - you are the owner of a big operation now - and you have a huge sales team to look after - a huge monetization closed loop that you must keep squeeky clean in order for it all to equate to that elusive first thought and end goal - MONEY. If you do all of this, and you succeed - what do you do? Launch another product, and another - soon you will have an array of revenue streams, some will outdo others, some will fail miserably, overall though - THAT is leverage.

Before you come to market, do some great research on both your idea and what’s already out there. chances are whatever you are thinking of launching - has already been done over and over - however don’t let that stop you, just DO IT BETTER and you WILL succeed!

Yours In Success,
Norb.

Today is……… “‘Show A Newbie Love’ Day” I wish I had something like this when I first started, would have saved my time and money, and I would have been here or farther - faster.

YOU: This is the first time you’ve heard of ClickBank, you know people are making money, you’re tempted… - You “Go Get Your CB Account” BUT WAIT! Don’t sign up yet - read: When you sign up, it doesn’t matter which you choose - affiliate/publisher - both enable both and are one in the same when you sign up.

**Your NickName: THIS IS UBER IMPORTANT! Even though you might be tempted - DO NOT use a nickname like “SuperAff101″ or “MoneyMan” or “Johnnny”… In Fact: Think about this for a second, when someone clicks on your link, unless you cookie stuff them (don’t worry about that for now), they will come to a page like http://www.yourvendorssite.com/index…op=SuperAff101 < You want that code at the end to look natural. You don’t want people looking in the address bar and thinking it might be some reseller network. Many think that “If it’s not in the
