I’m betting your time is as precious to you as mine, because you’re just as busy. Who needs to spend hours searching Google?

Nowadays, I simply go to Scribd.com.

Not only does Scribd have a massive collection, but it has forms and templates that are definitely “outside the box”, such as Dungeons and Dragons index templates. You’ll find templates for:

- Business plans
- Websites
- Power Point slide shows
- Email
- Forecasting
- Charts
- Bullet point slides
- Estimating
- Novel planning
- Short Story outlines
- Timesheets
- Excel spreadsheets
- Marketing

And more than I’ve currently explored!

Good for Ideas

Another reason I like Scribd: You can open it up, and simply glance at the Trending tab to see what’s currently the buzz of the day. You will have a nice mix of evergreen subjects such as “Healthcare” and “crossword puzzles” along with highly topical subjects, such as “Winter Olympics” “Toyota Recalls” and “Haiti Relief”.

It Saves Time By Default

The final reason I find Scribd very handy is an odd one. It’s static. Oh, everything is right there, and there are wonderful graphic thumbnails of documents currently on Scribd: But the ugly truth is, if I go to my Twitter account to check out their trending keywords, I’m likely to be lured away by a colleague’s reply to my last Tweet, or sucked into checking out an interesting link – not because I have the time to, but because I know I’ll never find (or remember) that link again, if I don’t check it out now. (Twitter links are so transient!)

Whereas Scribd Trending topics and Featured reads seem to stick around long enough for me to return to them – or instantly bookmark them through my Scribd Reading list.

No fuss, no muss… and no distraction.

Hey,

If I asked you today what is the ONE thing you’d

like to have
more of that would help you build your business,

chances are
the answer you’d give me is this:

*** Traffic ***

Ask around and the average internet marketer is

after more
traffic to their sites. In fact, unless you have a

weenie
server hosting your site, there is no such thing as

“too much”
quality traffic.

It’s what everyone wants. Number one on the wish

list!

In Jimmy D. Brown’s ground-breaking course, Sales

Army Secrets,
he explains how to get traffic — and a lot of it —

for FREE.
That is, how to get other people — a lot of them —

sending it
to you at no cost to yourself.

Now, for the first and only time, he’s offering a

limited number
of resale rights licenses to sell this course.

*** Now YOU can sell the course that
teaches what everyone wants!

You can sell the course for $97 per order and keep

100%!

(This is not another $20 ebook to sell … it’s a

PREMIUM course
that sells for almost a hundred bucks a pop!)

on sale). You’d expect to pay at least $297 for a

license to a
“premium” course like this, but Jimmy’s making them

available to a
select few for the cost of the regular, personal use

version!

That’s right, sell just ONE copy of the course and

you’ve made
your entire resale rights investment back!

they are gone

you’ll almost
certainly recoup your investment with your very

first promotion.

P.S. If you’ve been around internet marketing for

any amount
of time at all, then you’ve heard the name “Allan

Gardyne”.
Allan has been making a good living from affiliate

programs
since 1998. That’s well over a decade, folks. His

flagship
site, AssociatePrograms.com is widely recognized as

the top
affiliate marketing sites period. And he’s one of

the most
influential marketers of the entire existence of

marketing
on the Internet.

Here’s what Allan said about Sales Army Secrets in

his
official review at his site…

—–
“Just ONE tip from the book on how to recruit super

affiliates
has had a dramatic impact on our affiliate program.

Thanks,
Jimmy!”

“It zeroes in on the MOST IMPORTANT things you must

know.
It’s an up-to-date manual on affiliate program

management.
A superb book - fantastic value.”

“We’ll be reading and re-reading it. You should,

too.”

First, it’s time for a reality check. Some content topics have greater profitability than others. If you’ve created interesting content around the topic of online dating chances are very good that you will be able to monetize that content in some way. On the other hand, if you’ve developed a 100 page website around the subject of plastic recycling you’ll be doing a great job of educating the world but you’re not likely to turn much of a profit with all that content.

The time to determine profitability is before you begin to build a website but if you’ve come this far only to realize you didn’t pick a money topic you’ll have to decide if you’re willing to keep it going to information’s sake or just let it go and go back to the drawing board.

How do I know if my content is a money topic or not? There are tools out there that will give you lists of high paying keyword terms but they are quite costly. A quick and dirty test is to do a search at Google and see if there are very many AdWord ads on the right hand side of the page. If there are none it’s not a money topic. If there is only a handful, it’s not a big money topic. If there are pages and pages of AdWords, there are a lot of advertisers bidding on it so it is likely to be a good topic for Google AdSense and other affiliate programs.

If you have a topic that has potential but you’re not seeing the payoff the next thing I would want to know is how long has your website been online? If it is less than six months, you shouldn’t even be sweating yet. The mighty Google won’t even begin to treat you like a worthy website for 6-9 months. You may be getting some traffic from MSN and a little more from Yahoo but you’re probably only seeing a trickle of visitors from Google and then only for keyword phrases that offer very little competition from other sites.

I have a very nice five month old website that had been built almost exclusively with original content. I have been steadily adding fresh content to the website each week since it was launched. I have built up lots of great one way inbound links and many good complimentary link exchanges. I’m doing everything right and Google has sent all of 28 visitors to the site in the last two weeks. Check with me on this next summer and I’m sure I’ll be thank Google profusely for all of the great visitors they send me just don’t expect me to hold my breath that long.

Content sites involve a strategic game of hurry up and wait. So don’t worry about a slow start. Just keep doing what you know to do and then do it some more.

If you have a good topic and your website is a year old or more but still not making much money, I would want to start taking a closer look under the hood. Questions to ask include:

If you’re using Google Adsense is the primary earner on your website, are you staying close to the topic at hand? There is evidence that a website built carefully around one topic will earn better cost per click than a website that strays all over the encyclopedia. This makes sense in many ways. Visitors are more targeted and the clicks are likely to be more useful to the advertiser.

If you’re promoting non-contextual affiliate programs, are you making good choices for your visitors? You have to choose products that will resonate with your visitor while they are on your website. If your website is about women’s health, present them with offers that will serve their health needs. Don’t promote jewelry or shoes because they’re not thinking about jewelry or shoes while they’re on your site.

How is your website layout and navigation? A poorly designed website won’t do well no matter how good the content is. A visitor needs to feel like they know where they are and that they can find what they’re looking for so keep navigation simple and easy to follow. Don’t go crazy with banners and buttons and don’t go overboard with bold or highlighted text.

Get rid of everything that distracts your visitors from the content and the affiliate offers. That means you’re going to drop the banner exchanges, web rings, plug boards and anything else that flashes, spins, twinkles or looks out of place. Do not try to make too many offers in one place.

Choose one focus for one web page. If you really want your visitor to consider buying a particular affiliate product, provide them with some related information and then offer them the product. Plain and simple. If on the other hand you really want them to click your Google AdSense links, give them good content and place your Google AdSense Link units above, within, alongside or underneath the content. Test out your formats until you find something that works for your website.

Some last ideas for your content site would be to add a mailing list to stay in touch with your visitors and let them know about new content and offers. Add a blog and use that to highlight new content and take advantage of blog and RSS directories as a new traffic source. And never, ever, stop working on adding new inbound links to your site.

Most content websites that have good content, good inbound links and has had a chance to mature time wise will begin to earn for you. If you feel like you’ve done everything right and still haven’t turned much coin with your content site, it may be time for a new set of eyes. Seek out an experienced internet marketer and ask for an honest critique of your pages.

products and training that need from somebody else.

Once I started adding ‘quality’ PLR products to my sites
inventory my sales doubled almost over night.

I get all of these PLR products from Mr. PLR himself
Jeremy Burns.

Jeremy just launched his 9th Source Code Gold Mine
(SCGM) package, with 10 brand new video products.

Yes, you heard correct, his PLR 9th sale!

Now we both know most PLR just stinks, but trust me
Jeremy would not be launching his 9th SCGM sale if
his PLR sales weren’t the best.

People do not keep coming back and buying again
and again from someone unless the quality is great.

I can tell you from personal experience the SCGM
packages are the best quality PLR you can get
PERIOD.

Check out this brand new 10 pack of video PLR
products and let me know what you think.

Add them into your business and watch your cash
flow grow like mine did.

Best Regards,
Hermann Hoerter

to add to your product library with SCGM v9.

wanting to buy from you!

While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It’s called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly by PayPal.

Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly by PayPal.

I expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of ‘instant commissions’ played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7DollarSecrets and the RapidActionProfits scripts.

I’ve actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant paypal commission. And I’ve seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.

As soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree, it sounds like a winner to me.

I’ve just signed up and had a look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check it out and let me know what you think.

Wow. Scary to think about, isn’t it. What would the ramifications be if you did? And, how long would it take you to recover from that?

- Lost programs.
- Lost documents.
- Lost pictures.
- Lost emails, even.

And, that’s just from a cup of coffee. Heck, that’s an accident.

What about intentional malice? Hackers, viruses, identity theft — eek!

Well, Nicole Dean, is an online business owner like you - and she was worried enough about these issues to write a report to address them.

never guess or copy them and the no-sweat way to manage all your passwords,
never worry about forgetting, losing or having your passwords stolen.

Why your business needs an emergency manual in case you get sick for an
extended period, or worse. And, what to include in your emergency manual.

Why an external hard drive backup is not enough. And, what to use in addition
to your external drive backup.
