Reviews In A Box - See What Happened When I Tested It


Jean-Philippe Schoeffel has come up with a new membership deal where you get 2 review minisites with video in every month. It's called Reviews In A Box and the fee is very low - if you get your place before the price goes up.

For $1 you get a trial membership where you can download and use all of the current content. So for a measly $1 you get 2 review sites plus bonuses products to attract more buyers, plus a handful of PLR articles that you can use to drive traffic to your site, plus subscriber emails if you want to build a list. You can put your autoresponder form where indicated on each site.

2 Reviews In A Box For $1 - Click Here

The sites are simple to set up. You just add your site name and affiliate link for the product, plus your autoresponder code if you want to build a list, and upload the site with the provided images and video to your website.

My choice would be to put all the product reviews in subfolders of the same site. That way you can create a home page that points to them all and people can pick from all your reviewed products.

These are single page websites so although they have professional graphics, video etc they are very easy to handle.

You can edit the review any way that you want, and it's probably advisable to amend the headline as well as a few sentences here and there to make it unique for the search engines and give it some individuality. You get source files for the videos too. So if you can handle basic video editing you could add a link to your review site on the video and submit it to YouTube and similar sites.

You get PSDs for the graphics so if you can edit PSDs you could add your own reviews of other products and easily create similar graphics for those products. You do not have to stick with only the reviews that JP Schoeffel provides.

Have I tried uploading a site? ... Yes.

I paid my dollar and uploaded my first site and it is as easy as he says. In fact it was AMAZINGLY easy. This deal truly is turnkey.

I put up a test site here for you to check out:

See My Reviews In A Box Test Site

The link that says "Get review sites like this one" is not included in the package. I just added it on this test site for your convenience. It would not be wise to reveal your source in this way on a real site.

You will probably be surprised to see that this is a long, in-depth review. I think it is also very fair.

Don't forget you get a $1 trial and for that you can download the first two sites. Sign up today - I think these reviews in a box could really help your business.

Google Conquest is about to drop...

Google Conquest Blogging Platform

When blogs first arrived on the internet scene a few years back, they were basically considered  nothing beyond just another, unsophisticated way for individuals to air their rants, general whiny stories and annoying rants to the rest of the population.  However, fairly quickly, the saavy people (like us marketers who have followed Alex's methods) have understood the use of blogs as the premier channel of internet marketing - whether you are focussing on branding, sales, product promotion, etc. Google and the other major search directories DEVOUR blogs. Actually, let me clarify, Google loves blogs which are structured optimally to show RELEVANT and on-topic information.  This is a fundamental factor with the Google Conquest blogging platform.  In conjunction with the fact it automates the optimization and promotes your site which are so important to getting the main ingrediant of your blog going - which is TRAFFIC.

Having said that, blogs have literally taken over a majority of first page rankings in THOUSANDS of niches. In fact, many sites that you visit are probably a blog, but they don't appear like the regular WordPress blog that we can spot from a mile away (using WordPress as an example). These blog themes have become quite unique in presentation and feel and have become a very influential method to sell a ton of products and/or services.  There are literally thousands and thousands of niche areas which are absolutely ripe for domination by throwing up a properly SEO'd blog and having it rank not just on the first page of the Google SERPS, but in the FIRST spot. The best part of utilizing blogs is, especially using utilities such as Google Conquest, is they are SO EASY to manage and keep track of.  You compose your article or post, hit publish and voila!, your article is available for the rest of the web to see - all completely formatted, keyword and tag optimized, and with a vast amount of ways to drop in Youtube videos or pictures or sound bytes as well as numerous other widgets with a  click of a button.  No need to decode confusing HTML or PHP or AJAX or Drupal etc etc etc.

Another key component of a blog is its ability to "syndicate" your content using RSS feeds (really simple syndication). RSS Feeds are basically a way of circulating your freshly written posts to potentially THOUSANDS of other blogs or portals which are "listening" for RSS Feeds based on your topic to post on their own sites - again, yet another feature in Alex's Google Conquest System which can automate this repetitive promotional (but very important process.

Imagine, using Alex's Blogging System, you could essentially build a blog from scratch, populate it with articles that you didn't even write, earn cash with Google Adsense Advertisements or Amazon Products or Clickbank products, promote it's RSS feed to the world, and within five minutes, have a horde of buyers flowing to your site... Too good to be true?  It's not, and it's landed... NOW. Google Conquest blogging platform

AffiloBlueprint

AffiloBluePrint Exclusive Beta Test

Recently I've been lucky enough to beta test the most unbelievable course that I've ever seen for earning a living online as an affiliate marketer.

Not long ago super guru Mark Ling (who himself earns over a million dollars each year as an affiliate) took a group of beginner affiliates under his wing and set out to get them all making money as affiliates.

By following Mark's step by step instructions, most had earned their first sales as affiliates within four to six weeks.  After twelve weeks, most were on their way to making job replacing income.

Not everyone can afford to have this sort of hand-holding from a super-affiliate, however, what if you had an opporunity to listen through the walls while someone else footed the cost?

This is precisely what Mark has done for those of us with limited budgets to rub together. His new product, AffiloBlueprint, is the complete and candid recording of all of Mark's exclusive coaching session. You too can observe Mark developing his personal cash generating affiliate websites, and listen as he fields questions from his students -- questions that you're more than likely wondering as well.

The beauty of this blueprint is that it's pretty much connect the dots. Mark tells you what to do at every stage through comprehensive video lessons.  He gives you homework for each step along the way so you can rest assured you're on track and doing the right things at the right stage.

Most importantly -- his system performs flawlessly. The success of his students is living proof.

If you're having trouble getting started as an affiliate, or you've been doing it for a period of time without any real guidance or plan... this system could give your chance at success a serious jump-start.

It drops on November 20th,  but if you click through to the site before then, there are two free videos that basically give you an overview of Mark's blueprint anyway. I don't know why Mark is giving this away for nothing, but it's only available up until launch, so I strongly recommend you take a look for yourself.  You have nothing to lose.

Affiliate Marketing What Is It

Affiliate Marketing : What Is It?

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make extra income. Once you have everything all set up and ready to go, you can begin making an income from your efforts. Basically affiliate marketing is when a company pays you a certain amount of money for selling their product or services. One example would be, if you sell for a candy supplier, they may pay you ten percent on each sale you make for them. What Makes It Work?

Every business that has an affiliate marketing program will either have product or a service they want to sell. When they do this, they are allowing others to sign up and sell their products or a particular service that they are offering. The ones that sign up with the affiliate program will have multiple ways that they can market the service or the product. Once you sign up with a company to become an affiliate marketer with them, they will provide you with a ID number that will be associated with all your website links, and this will provide the company the needed information to determine, which affiliate is to be credited for each sale.

You can choose from several different affiliate marketing programs. There are those that offer one time commissions off of a sale. Others, offer commissions without time restraints, and some companies will pay for any leads that you provide for them. Whether it is for a newsletter lead, or something else, just having interested parties sign up for things is another way to make money.

The type of affiliate program is completely up to the person that is the owner of the business. They can decide the percentage, or flat rate that they are willing to pay for a sale or a lead.

People that want to become an affiliate marketer have several ways that they can begin to make money. They can promote the services or the products on a website that is relevant to the affiliate marketing programs that they are a part of, or they can also promote them on a blog.

Both of these are great ways to get traffic to your affiliate programs and make sales from them. Some even use email or newsletter marketing as a way to get sales from others as well. The choice is completely up to you on which method you decide to use.

After you determine the type of affiliate programs you will begin to market, then you need to become familiar with all the legalities that are associated with this type of business. Because all of them will be different, some may not want their name used in the URL of your website, and some might also not want the particular product or service that you are selling for them used in the page title tags, or anywhere else on the website.

With the many different requirements and stipulations that you have to read, you may even need some software to help you sort it all out and decide which one will work best for you and your affiliate marketing business.

Choosing the affiliate marketing programs that you want to go with, is not hard to do at all. Decide on something that you can be known as an expert in regards to a particular product or service. The more passionate you are about the service or product, the better, as it will shine through. Once you have all of your programs in place, check out SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and find out how to get your website up on the first page of the search engines. This is going to take hard work and determination, but you can do it.

Anyone with a computer and internet connection can begin their own affiliate marketing business. Start out by reading a good eBook or blog by someone that is a pro, to get some of the best marketing tips and techniques that you can use. Learn from others that have done and accomplished what you are trying to do.

Don't Lose your Business to Loss

So, you've built and are growing your online business with a great deal of hard work. You have the first hand knowledge of how hard it is to build your online business and just how many different things you have to keep up with. Only you know the endless hours of work at the beginning, the amount of money invested and the sacrifices you had to make to make your business a reality.Is it possible that all of a sudden you can lose it all?

Unfortunantly, Yes would be the answer.A seemingly small action on your part can wipe out everything you've worked so hard to build. Since you are a Internet Marketer, I am sure you have heard the horror stories about what happens to other marketers having server crashes, malicious takeovers, hackers, corrupted data, and even uploading bad versions of a site.Let alone is your home/work system crash with a disk failure, virus, or even be stolen.

You might be doing everything right and don't have to worry about anything. But you have to wear every hat in your business and it is impossible to know everything all by yourself. Especially when its comes to technical detail when your expertise is your business and not computer minutia.

How do you protect your business and your livelyhood? Do you do manual ftp copies, rely on your host, or try to keep multiple copies of your work. But most online businesses have a few sites, on a few hosts (Linux or Windows) and the original work copies on your computer (which is MAC or Windows).How do you keep the product of your hard work safe?

It's simple really, use Internet Attached Storage.The best services will run on dedicated servers, your home/work systems, and even some shared hosting accounts as well... With a single account which lets you use, modigy, and restore data to and from anywhere. You can take advantage of the growing acceptance and demand of regular home users for online backup which has driven down pricing where it's affordable and fully featured. More and more online businesses are using Internet Attached Storage for backup of their dedicated servers, shared hosts, and work/home pc's. And for good reason.

What you need to look for is a provider of Internet Attached Storage with advanced features.The features most needed are multi-platform (working with MAC, Windows, and Linux). That they are bandwidth efficient.Which means that they only backup changes to your files (after the initial upload).And that it versions your files (keeping several older copies of each file). The last consideration is that they provide value for the dollar.Don't be led astray with "unlimited" backup at a fixed price.You'll discover that many providers Terms of Service allows them to cut you off if you have substantially more data than their other users.

So you can lose it all if your data (blogs, stores, websites) are destroyed by viruses, hackers, or hardware failures. But now with Internet Attached Storage you can backup all your sites and systems with a single account easily, quickly, and affordably.

Toolbar Theivery of Your Commissions

There is a new and disturbing angle to BHO Parasiteware that is stealing millions of dollars from affiliates and merchants. This parasite is even more insideous because it is promulgated by an affiliate network in conjunction with a sister company that is running the parasite. Although the knowledge that there is yet another parasitic toolbar out there stealing commissions is no suprise.  The fact that it is actively being done by a affiliate network does.

One Cause says they donate a portion of commissions to charities and under that guise they encourage people to download their toolbar. Once the toolbar is downloaded onto someones computer, this toolbar overwrites cookies and redirects on 460 different merchants. This means that no matter how a customer arrives at any of the 462 merchants sites, One Cause will take the commission. So if you, an average affiliate, sends a customer to a store such as Ebay or Dell or any of the other 460 merchants  you lose your commission. If your customer has One Cause on their computer, One Cause steals your commission. If you are one of the 460 merchants and a customer types in your website and then makes a purchase, One Cause earns a commission for doing nothing! One Cause gives half or so to charity and pockets the rest.  Over $211 MILLION is claimed to have been donated. This means well over $211 MILLION stolen from affiliates and from merchants.

One Cause purports to help people turn their online shopping into a charitable activity.  And if that were all it would be okay.  But it's not.The curious thing is that both One Cause and LinkShare are owned by Rakuten USA.  And the One Cause toolbar has been verified to overwrite affiliate cookies.What does this mean for your income stream?  It means that if you use LinkShare (and they're not the only one, just the biggest) and you attract traffic with your hard work, ingenuity, and hard earned money all potential customers that have the One Cause toolbar installed won't generate a dime for you.  Your affiliate cookie will be overwritten by One Cause.  You lose.

Need proof?  How about this.  Over a dozen videos of a clean PC installing the toolbar, surfing an affiliate (like you), and then going to any of over 460 merchants.The overwriting of affiliate cookies by One Cause is clearly shown.  You can go over to ABW and read the saga for yourself watch the videos and see how LinkShare and One Cause are ripping you off.

Whether you are an affiliate, a merchant or program manager you need to read the posts at ABW and watch at least a few of the videos. If you are an affiliate be sure to let your merchants know what is happening. This hurts both affiliates and merchants.
