Ewen Chia’s Working from Home Secret Report

By now, you would have heard of Ewen Chia or for that matter his latest Working from Home Secret Report. He is my fellow countryman, friend and someone whom I do respect a lot. Why?

Partly because I have known how hard he worked his way to today’s status as the Secret Weapon of Super Affiliates. But largely because he often over deliver on his products. Do not expect B.S from this guy.

This is the man behind successful products like AutoPilot Profits and Secret Affiliate Weapon. These reports continue to sell well on ClickBank. But I am still curious to know how this new system works and whether he can live up to my expectations.

But what exactly is Ewen Chia’s Working from Home System about? 15th April is the first day of the pre-launch to announce the arrival of this new income system.

Well, I downloaded his free report titled “HOW TO GET RICH FROM HOME IN JUST 5 SIMPLE STEPS!” or you can watch his video here:

Watch the video at Ewen Chia’s Working from Home website now!

After watching the video and reading through the 5 simple steps to get rich from home on the internet, I must say that it is still refreshing as ever. You can download the report for free without opting in to any list. So go ahead and do so.

In his 5 steps report, he covers the essential 5 steps to start making real money online fast.

1. Finding a Rabid Marketing With Huge Growing Demand

This is good old wisdom but most affiliates miss this out completely. Ewen Chia advocates in his free report that any online marketer should find a market that has ready buyers and a continuous need to consume.

The golfing and the “work from home” niches fit in the bill nicely. Rather than to sell to a market that will only buy from you once, for example, how to get rid of cockroaches, why not sell golf balls, golf equipment, golf memberships in the golf market or sell “traffic building”, “Google Adwords”, “make money online” reports and memberships to the “working from home” market?

Of course, this step involves doing some keyword research.

2. Finding an Excellent Product as a Solution to People’s Problems

In the free report, he points out the need to focus on 1 product rather than 100 of products. Just 1 excellent product is good enough. Quite frankly, I do not fully agree with him. The reason is simple – never put all your eggs in one basket no matter how good the product is.

But he does point out in this report at Workingfromhome.com that it is important for the affiliate program to pay the affiliates well. At least 50% commissions are reasonable for a digital product. This point, I fully agree.

Another gold nugget of advice which I always tell my subscribers is this, make sure the affiliate program comes with a complete set of affiliate tools such as emails, banner ads, PPC keywords, classified ads etc. I am so glad Ewen did that in his report from Working from Home.

3. Complete Sales Funnel

Kudos to him on this point about complete sales funnel. This is something that I often find missing in most make money online books I buy. A complete sales funnel does not only sell the prospect on the upfront, but it has an up-sell and a backend.

Simply put, earning a $25 per sale from a $50 product should never be your end in mind.

A complete sales funnel will allow you the affiliate earn on the upfront, up-sell and backend. Sad to say, many affiliate marketing programs perform poorly in this.

On the contrary, any product that does provide the complete sales funnel to its affiliates is likely to be a winner for a long time to come.

4. Focus on Money Making Activities

This is a practical thinking tip and I like that because I am a firm believer in this. In the report on “5 simple steps to get rich from home on the internet”, he talks about focusing on money making activities, ie those things that will get you more sales.

Well he does not explicitly mention about what are the money making activities, I can translate that to activities like website promotion ie article marketing, PPC, comment posting, forum marketing, etc and website/blog creation activities or even getting JV partners.

His Mini-Day tips is simple but trust me, many people do not really implement that. It took me some time to convince my online marketing student to do that.

5. Be Proactive

Wow! This is such a SIMPLE step but the trouble is, many folks are just too bogged down by distractions.

Remember, knowledge has no value until it is acted upon.

So, even taking a little action on what you have learnt will put you in a better income position. Massive action will really let you quit your day job, work from home and get rich from home on the internet.

This free report is a good read. Do watch the video and download it to read up the details.

Bribe Your Prospect To Buy Through Your Affiliate Link

I like to be on gurus’ list to get updates about the latest products in the market.

But to be very frank, the emails used to be so much better. Gone were the days when marketing experts would genuinely share with you real money making tips so that you can make some real money online.

I mean, perhaps having attained guru status, many have forgotten how they too were once struggling newbies. These guys have cleanly forgotten about newbies or marketers who genuinely want to learn some new killer marketing stuff.

Nowadays, all the emails you get are recommendations for ebooks, software and memberships. I mean there is nothing wrong with that but sending your list of loyal subscribers offers all the time without any useful content at all does not really go too well for me.

Do you agree with me?

But one thing I do learn from these guys and am seeing more and more happening are gurus and all the mid-level experts offering bonuses for you to buy from them.

I can only explain the phenomenon in the following reasons.

1. Affiliate marketers are getting really savvy nowadays. If the product is a Clickbank product, affiliate marketers will go to Clickbank, generate their own affiliate link and buy through these links. So the gurus are losing their commissions.

How do I know? Did you know that the affiliate gravities for some of the top ClickBank products are so high because affiliates are buying using their affiliate link?

2. Competition is getting very stiff and they need to offer something better than others. Some are even offering their very own products that normally sell for $97 or more as a bonus if you were to buy through their affiliate links. Others offer valuable bonuses in the form of free reports and even memberships.

Now, this in the end is beneficial to both the affiliate and buyer. For the price of one, you get a bonus that matches or exceeds the value of the product you are buying. For the affiliate, he has nothing to lose as it is zero cost to him or her. After all, it is a digital download and unlike offline businesses, there is nothing to ship or physical product to deduct from the inventory.

This is pretty! An excellent win-win strategy!

I am definitely going to use it to bribe my prospects.

As a start, l want you to tell me exactly what kind of bonus you hope to get the most that will make it attractive enough for you to buy through someone else’s affiliate link. Please be specific, like you would want a free detailed step-by-step ebook on traffic building using FaceBook or other social media, or you want to learn how to build a list and so on. You can get greedy and even ask for bonuses worth $1000!

Post your comment here with your desired bonus. To spice it up, I want to bribe you with a bonus gift. Yes, how about the latest book “Facebook Social Ads”?

Facebook Social Ads worth $37

Facebook is a resource that will only continue to grow in the coming months and years. Facebook’s expansion is predicted to eventually surpass MySpace’s and when that happens, you already want to have your monetization in place. For developers and business people alike, Facebook is an opportunity that is well worth exploring.

Don’t overlook this tremendous untapped opportunity. If you’d like to succeed where so many others have failed, this is your chance.

Sounds good? Now, it is time to hear from you.

All you have to do for me to bribe you with this bonus gift is:

1. Make a comment here and tell me what bonus you want to buy stuff through someone’s affiliate link

2. Enter your name and email address below for me to send you the gift.

That’s it!

10 Step Guide to Become the Most Broke Affiliate Marketer in 2008

Every affiliate marketer wants to become the No.1 Most Successful Marketer, but not everybody can do that. Even with top training courses, the best tools and stuff, the most coveted Super Affiliate status still eludes the majority.

But to earn the Most Broke Affiliate Marketer title, all you need is the following 10 step blueprint! I can almost guarantee you that anyone who religiously follows it will make it to the top within 1 year! Surely, no one will be able to beat you.

1. Read all the Ebooks and Reports on Affiliate Marketing and Take Zero Action after that.

Feed yourself with all kinds of information about affiliate marketing, article marketing, website promotion, Web 2.0, social networking, video marketing, PPC with Adwords and so on. After that, tell yourself these are great books but take ZERO action.

Remember, even a bit of action will make you lose the crown!

2. Load your Mind 24/7 with All Kinds of Information from Ebooks, Reports and Videos

The purpose of doing so is to crowd and congest your mind with so much information that you suffer from information constipation. This will help you to lose focus and become totally confused about what to do in affiliate marketing.

Do not just focus on one or two affiliate marketing methods but try out every method that exists on the planet or you will never become broke.

3. Sell All Products that Come Along

Everyday, there are 100s of new products online. Do not bother to research the market or product at all. Sell everything. Spread your time so thin that you do not have time at all. Make sure you only have time to slap an email and send it to the safelist.

If you ever start to select a product to promote based on its market demand and supply as well as competitiveness, you will get sales and soon, you are out of the league of most broke affiliate marketers.

4. Spend at least 12 Hours Everyday Talking Rubbish in Forums

Contribute your opinions but remember to be as negative as you can be. Have everything negative to say about people’s suggestions and ideas. Spend no less than 12 hours. If you can forgo your sleep, do it but stay active in the forums. Please remember not to put any interesting signature link in your profile because people will visit and buy your products. Oh no…this will immediately disqualify you for the Most Broke Affiliate contest!

5. Win the Top Bid in Google Adwords

Set up crappy Adwords advertisement campaigns for crappy products with weak sales pages. Forget about keyword research or split testing for ads. Aim only for the No.1 spot. Losing is not in your blood. If you have to pay $10 to be at the top, do so. Even if the product only sells for $9.99 and your commission is $4.99, do it!

Set your daily budget at $10,000 if you can or use this formula.

(Your Savings + Credit Line + Loans from friends etc) ÷ 365 days = Daily Budget

This formula will help you to lose as much money as you can within 1 year and soon, you will win the crown as the World’s No.1 Most Broke Affiliate Marketer.

6. Spam Blogs with Nice One-Liner Comments

As an affiliate marketer, blog commenting is important. So find blogs which allow you to comment on. Do not exceed 2 words in your post. Use only these comments, “Nice information”, “Good Post” and “Thank you”. Attempting to write more informative content will get visitors to your website and you will make a lot of sales. This is no good for you!

7. Use Ugly Website Templates

All affiliate marketers own websites. You also need one. But you must choose the plainest template you can find. An ugly template is the best! This is because even if the content is good and unique, people will not buy your product. No sales mean good news.

8. Send Your List As Many Promotional Emails As You Can

Spam your list with a promotional email every day. If you can speed this up, send them an email every few minutes or hours. Do it as quick as possible until you lose all your subscribers. Those who stay on must really love you or they do not read their emails at all and do not know you are spamming them.

9. Promote to Safelists which No One Reads

Send your emails using safelists. Use only those where the members are only interested in sending out their emails but not receiving them. These guys normally will register their accounts with a throwaway email address which they will never open and read. Avoid reputable lists like HercuList because people do read their emails there.

10. Repeat Step 1 to 9 Everyday

That’s right, follow this 10 step guide and surely, the No.1 Most Broke Affiliate Marketer will go to you in 2008. Finally, you have a crown you can call your own.

7 Killer Tips to Create Unique Content in 15 Minutes

How do you create unique content that the search engines love? And do so quickly in 15 minutes flat?

These are some simple ways to create unique content fast and good. You can use it for your article submission or publish the content on your website.

Notice that I did not say, “write” here. Because you really do not have to write your own content if you find it challenging to do so.

1. Google for Results and Rewrite the Content. (Plus a Sneaky Trick!)

Before you shoot me down with such an obvious method, read on for the twist.

Google the main target keyword.

Browse through the top 10 search results. Copy the appropriate and relevant content onto a notepad or Word document.

Pick out the 4 or 5 key points. Using these key points, start writing an article.

Okay, I may sound a bit exaggerative here about the 15 minutes. But with practice, it is achievable for a 300 word article.

There is a sneaky trick here which you may want to use.

You can copy a few pages of content on your Microsoft Word, then go to your toolbar, click the “Tools” section, and activate the “AutoSummarize” function.

This will squeeze your article down to a nice length according to your needs. Then simply rewrite it or rephrase the content. There you have a ready piece of excellent unique content.

2. Use an Article Writing Software

In the market, there are different article writing software that helps writers to create unique content. I have used quite a number of them like Instant Article Wizard and Content Assistant.

Instant Article Wizard is hands-down the best so far. Basically, what it does is it goes scrapping for actual sentences containing your target keywords. You can do that for several keywords at one go.

From there, you just compile all the sentences that you deem as useful and rewrite it. You can whip up an article easily within 8 minutes.

Others are pretty crappy and basically scrap off some irrelevant advertisement content. Hardly readable and trashy stuff.

3. Buying & Rewriting Private Label Rights (PLR) Articles 

You can use PLR articles. But rule of thumb is to modify the content at least 30%. I tend to be a bit careful and will rewrite up to at least 50%. Work on the introduction and conclusion paragraphs.

There are dozens of PLR sites that offer PLR articles at $1 per article like

1. Great Niche Content - less than $1 per article

2. Fresh Niche Content

3. Easy PLR

4. PLR Mini Mart

Or you can sign up with those PLR sites that offer monthly batches of articles. That will solve your problem of creating excellent unique content.

4. Research at the Library/Buy a Second-Hand Book

Go to the library to pick up a book or grab a second-hand book on the topic you are writing about. Summarize the content and rewrite it in your own words.

When you do so, you can actually churn out a few articles at the same time within an hour.

This is particularly helpful when you are targeting age-old topics like health, remedies, dog training and stuff that have existed for a long, long time.

I recently grabbed a cheap book on home remedies for over 100 ailments for about $5. This is enough to create unique content for an entire website!

5. Hire a GhostWriter

I have personally tried hiring writers at a few free lance sites like Elance, ScriptLance and GetaFreeLancer.

GetaFreeLancer is my favorite. There are many good writers there willing to write an excellent unique article for $5 - 7. In case you think that these are low quality articles, then you are grossly mistaken. For that price, you can get articles of high quality.

Another place where you can find good article writers is DP Forums. Under the “Buy, Sell or Trade” section, you will be able to start a thread to buy content. Or you can browse around and send a private message to the more popular writers there. NicheRockets also have a section where you can buy limited PLR packages or hire some good writers for low rates.

6. Use Voice Recognition Software

Nowadays, voice recognition software can do wonders! If you find it too slow to write, you can simply just talk and let the software convert your voice into text.

For topics which you are familiar, getting an article created takes no more than 5 - 10 minutes.

Well, for topics that you are not so familiar, you can always research online, paraphrase what you read and let the voice recognition software do the writing. One of the most powerful tools is Dragon NaturallySpeaking Software V9.0. According to users, accuracy is up to 99%. No script reading or “voice training” is required. You can start dictating straightaway.

I checked out the prices of this tool. Surprisingly, buying at the developer Nuance.com is not the cheapest. Nuance is selling at $99.99, while Buy.com is offering at $82.30. The cheapest is at …..Amazon.com, $59.99!

If you are keen on buying this nifty tool, you can always check out the links:

7. Invite Article Writers

This method involves you inviting article writers to write unique content for you. For this to work, you have to offer a “bribe”.

You can use a product such as an ebook or software where you own the rights to give away. Or offer to provide a backlink the next time you post on your website or blog, or whatever.

Post the invitation on your blog or forum.

These 7 tips should get you a constant stream of quality unique content for your publishing and article submissions. Begin to create unique content of excellent quality now!

Article Writing Tips - What is the Perfect Article?

As promised, I mentioned I will share more article writing tips about creating a killer article that pull in traffic, bring in more subscribers and make more sales.

What is the Perfect article?

Personally, an article is “perfect” if it achieves what I wrote it for. Whether it is for more traffic, or to build up my credibility as a subject expert, or for bum marketing, as long as it can hit the target, it is. Over time, I do come to realize that there are a few key ingredients that are essential to write a winning article for article marketing.

In writing for article marketing, you need to pay attention to the following in order to see your articles rank well for the targeted keywords, get publishers to publish your content for more traffic and to pre-sell your readers.

1. A Powerful & Attention-Grabbing Title

You need to create a great looking article. Your article title is the first thing readers see, not your content. It determines if it is interesting enough for your prospect to click on it to read. So pay attention to it!

Use words like “How to”, “Tips”, “What”, “Where”, “Who” etc. Use numbers. Call them to action. Example “10 Tips to Approach the Girl of Your Dreams”.

Always remember to include the target keyword in the title. Miss this and you lose the chance of ranking well.

2. Keyword Density

I mentioned in my earlier post that an ideal keyword density is between 1 to 2%. This is applicable for most article directories. Stay within this and you should be safe from being banned for keyword spamming/abuse.

This appropriate density is also ideal for SEO. Remember to use the target keyword in the introduction, article body and conclusion.

3. Article Body

The ideal format of a well-written article is to have an introduction that summarizes what the reader is getting from the entire article, a body with the various points elaborated, and a conclusion that calls them to click on your resource link for more information.

So in short, an article should have an introduction, point 1 to 4 (or more) and conclusion. Stay within 400 to 600 words.

When writing your content, make it informative. Give them facts, details and anything that you feel will be useful for them.

There are different types of article content or format of writing.

a. List of resources or places

You can either write your article as a list, such as listing the top 10 places to get free links or 10 free tools to do something.

b. Review

You can write a review of a product or service, explaining each feature, pros and cons, and give your honest comments.

c. FAQ format

I seldom see people doing that but this is a good suggestion for you. Think of some relevant and commonly questions people ask about the topic you are writing about. Then offer the answers.

When writing an article, always leave the readers with a good impression and wanting to find out more. Bait them, make them curious enough to look at your author resource box!

4. Author Resource Box

This is the most important part of your article. Why? This is where your “sales pitch” or any form of promotion can take place without getting banned by the article directory. Once again, be creative and make your author resource intriguing and attractive enough for your prospects to click to your website.

Compare these 2:

Dave is an online entrepreneur. Visit his site at XXXX to find out how to market with articles.

Dave makes well over $10,000 monthly from article marketing alone. You can too! See how he converts a piece of plain content into a traffic-sucking and sales converting article at XXXX.

Which One is Better?

Remember to use the target keyword as anchor text for backlinking purposes.

These are the real ingredients that make up an excellent article that can pull in more readers, subscribers and sales for you. Make full use of these powerful article writing tips.

Read this secret report that can propel your article marketing efforts and supercharge your profits!

Blogging to The Bank 2 Review

Blogging to the Bank 2 and its first version – the brainchild of Rob Benwell have been responsible for the success of many online marketing bloggers such as myself.

Prior to making my big break in 2007, I was struggling with making money online. Partly because I was spreading my attention across too many things and getting distracted, and partly because I did not come across any proper guidance or teachings that really mattered and worked…Blogging to the Bank 1 was one of the first ebooks that really taught me how to get started to make money online with blogs. Subsequently, I did figure out other more powerful methods to complement the techniques covered in the report.

The Blogging to the Bank 1 was a classic 37-page report written by Rob about creating an empire of blogs around profitable niches. The first version talked mainly about using Blogger blogs to market products from ClickBank. I need to qualify that it was applicable for all other products though.

It was a report that detailed exact steps of how to target the right keywords and how to create a Blogger blog from scratch including how and where to add your banner to promote the target product.

Blogging to the Bank 1 focused more on ranking well in MSN, a smaller search engine in comparison to Yahoo and Google. The methods of driving traffic using other smaller feeder blogs could work back then but in today’s context, it is no longer working well.

Firstly, MSN has changed its ranking algorithm, and secondly, Google has also devalued links through black hat linking methods.

It was what fuelled the creation of Blogging to the Bank 2. This time round, Rob focuses on teaching bloggers how to create a WordPress niche blog empire. Once again, ClickBank products take centre stage and in his usual style of writing, he teaches you step by step in building a WordPress blog from scratch that promotes a single product in the 61-page report.

In this full report, he talks about:

5 Secrets that will Make Any Blog Successful and Profitable for a Long Time to come

Step-By-Step Blueprint to Create a Long Lasting Blog Empire

6 Traffic Driving Techniques that Pulls In Over 30,000 Visitors to Just One of His Many Blogs

and more.

Along with the report, you will also get 5 sets of blog content and ready banners for 5 popular niches, article submission software, blog submission software, special tool that hunts for high PR blogger blogs to take over, and 2 other mini reports on whitehat and blackhat blogging techniques. For a price of $47, this is a valuable deal.

But one technique that was mentioned in the ebook about “stealing” high PR blogger blogs is no longer valid. So is the tool provided.

Nevertheless, all in all, this is a report that will help anyone aspiring to be a successful blogger do so in the shortest time possible.

If you purchase this ebook Blogging to the Bank 2 today, post your comments with your receipt number and I will send you a download link to ebook and software gifts worth $3215.

Participating In Online Marketing Forums

Online marketing forums are excellent places to participate in for a few reasons:

1. Knowledge and Information Sharing

This is a place where online marketers gather to talk about what is going on in the internet marketing world.

When you are there, you can read about the latest product launches, ie what new ebook, membership service or online marketing software have been launched.

A lot of marketers also love to share the tricks they have learnt. Whether it is about affiliate marketing in general or specifically about web design, SEO, website promotion strategies, article marketing or pay per click advertising, you get to learn almost anything and everything.

2. Uncover Under-Served Niches 

You will also be able to discover what the commonly asked questions are and what topics are hot. This is important for you to uncover niche markets or guesstimate what products will be sellable.

It is worthwhile to check out those threads that are popular. Read the forum members’ comments. Figure out what problems they are facing. See if you can find a product in the market to meet their needs. Or even create your own product if there isn’t any ready ones in the market.

3. Drive Traffic to Your Websites

Your signature link is powerful. This is where you can be creative and craft an attention-seeking signature that makes people want to click through your link. Rather than going for a signature link that reads as:

“Come to my site and read about how to drive traffic”, come up with something like:

“Discover How I Pulled In 10,000 Visitors Within 1 Week For FREE!”

The second signature will do better to attract visitors, isn’t it?

I also make use of forums to promote my blogs. Here is a trick you might want to learn.

Each time you post to your blog, go to the forum, start a thread and get people talking about your blog post. People will visit your site out of curiosity, and even if they do not, you just earned yourself a backlink with your desired anchor text.

This will help you in your search engine rankings as well as drive direct interested visitors. Expect more traffic and sales.

4. Hire Web Designers, Article Writers, Programmers & General Help

Online marketing forums do have a section dedicated for buying and selling of products and services. These can be excellent places to find affordable website designers, article writers, programmers and just about any kind of help you need.

Forums that are related to online marketing and make money online:

1. Niche Rockets

Niche Rockets is an active online marketing forum that provides tons of powerful tools and eBooks, and has a large database of educational material for online marketers.

This is a paid forum so you will not see worthless posts or comments. Members are all serious marketers who are friendly and helpful and there are nuggets of gold that can be found here. Ask any question concerning affiliate marketing or other methods of internet marketing and you are likely to be greeted with tons of effective, workable answers by the successful marketers.

2. Digital Point Forum

3. Warrior Forum

Other forums related to online marketing and making money online are:

www.im4newbies.com/forum/

www.v7n.com

A quick way to find a list of forums to participate in is to Google the search term “online marketing + forum”, “affiliate marketing + forum” or “internet marketing + forum”

Online Marketing Education – EBooks, Newsletters, Forums & Seminars

After marketing for over a year now, I have come to realize that having a proper online marketing education is necessary. No, I am not talking about getting a degree in online marketing or internet marketing.

I am referring to investing in continual learning from successful internet marketers. The internet marketing world changes quickly and it is a challenge to keep track of changes unless you are in the midst of them.

“No one loves changes but it is necessary for your income to grow!”

Some methods you learn today can become obsolete within months. But certain principles of online marketing always remain unchanged. Things like SEO, list building and article marketing are very much alive as they were a decade again!

The good thing I have learnt though is that once you cultivate the habit to adapt to changes, it becomes your second nature.

Well, you can get a proper online marketing education through a few simple ways.

1. Subscribe to successful marketers’ newsletters.

Currently, I am on the newsletter of famous and successful internet marketers like Ewen Chia, Cody Moya, Derek Gehl, Jonathan Leger and many others.

Read what they are saying, learn from them, duplicate their methods, ditch what doesn’t work for you, modify and apply what you have learnt and get your thinking cap running.

2. Read Ebooks & Reports

Ebooks or reports are often written in digestible format. The standard Ebook length is probably 20 to 50 pages. A report such as a mini report can be as short as 5 or 6 pages only. It normally does not take anyone more than a few hours to finish reading a report or Ebook.

Sometimes, you get to download them for free. But I would encourage you to invest some money in good Ebooks that can help to boost your income.

It is all about returns. If what you learn from an EBook can increase your earnings by $1000 every month, spending a one-time $50 on it becomes insignificant.

For example, here are some EBooks that have helped me greatly in my business.

Blogging to the Bank 1 & 2, Google Pay Load, Secret Article Profits, Auto Pilot Profits

3. Participate in Forums

I used to think that forums are a waste of time. Why would anyone want to spend hours in a forum chatting away? There is no value in doing so!

But when I soon discovered that top internet marketers are participating in forums, it got me thinking really hard. Surely if these guys who are ultra busy are spending time at the forums, it must be worth the effort.

True enough, forums are great places to rub shoulders with other successful internet marketers. You get to learn some new tricks of the online marketing trade, know what the products are genuine and helpful, and read about scams so you can avoid them.

Some forums I participate actively are DP Forums, NicheRockets & Warrior Forum.

4. Online Marketing Seminars

Seminars are great places to go. I must confess that till now, I have yet to attend one. Perhaps I should go for one this year.

Even though I have not been to one, I gather from my friends that some of the seminars can be real eye-openers! That is also where people get to hear from the horses’ mouth – the gurus and the like who share their secrets of success.

Live demonstrations can be expected as well.

My motto towards my online marketing education is

“Learn, Innovate, Apply & Master”

Treat your learning seriously and put feet to your knowledge and the returns will be great!

Online Marketing EBooks And Reports

I promised in my previous post to share about some online marketing Ebooks and reports that I have read that have benefited me greatly. I picked up the principles, applied some of the concepts and techniques, created my own methods and seen quantum leaps in my earnings.

I read quite a lot of online marketing Ebooks and reports written by other online marketers like myself. There are probably a thousand over of such Ebooks in my private collection. Some are free. Others are all bought over time.

One Tip For You:

Whenever there is a free Giveaway Event, join it as you can find dozens of quality Ebooks and freebies inside!

You can also download a copy of my free report “Secrets of Affiliate Marketing” and learn some powerful tips on affiliate marketing.

Among the hundreds of ebooks I have read so far, some are plain trash and only a few Ebooks are really worth reading. Most recent examples are:

1. Blogging to the Bank 1 & 2

2. Google Pay Load

3. Secret Article Profits

4. Auto Pilot Profits

So did I apply all the methods and tips inside? Nope!

Each time I complete an Ebook, I will only digest the concepts that are taught inside. Not that the content is no good, but rather I am someone who does not like to follow everything to the “T” strictly.

I LOVE to improvise, innovate and come up with my own methods! Moreover, if thousands of people use the exact method, the cutting edge may be lost.

Very often, I will then toy around with the methods, see how I can make it better, and combine them with other online marketing techniques I already know.

Experiment! Experiment! & Experiment!

This is what you can do using what you learnt from online marketing Ebooks and reports.
