Using Videos for Affiliate Marketing Promotions
May 29, 2008
When videos started to grow popular on the Internet in the past couple of years, the Internet Marketing landscape started to change.
Affiliate Marketing was not exempted, either.
The most classic mistake people tend to make in affiliate marketing is not capturing the opt-in leads first before sending their visitors to the merchant’s website.
So what smart marketers often do is that they would have their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt into their list, before sending them to the website they are an affiliate for.
This is so the affiliate marketer can build his own opt-in list and do his follow-ups later.
A few but exceptionally smarter marketers, on the other hand, take this to the next level.
THEY IMPLEMENT VIDEO MARKETING, TOO. zerit
You probably notice most top Internet Marketing experts are now using videos on their Squeeze Pages. And smarter affiliates are also doing the same for their own, for one obvious reason:
VIDEOS CAN SKYROCKET YOUR TRAFFIC AND SALES CONVERSIONS!
Unfortunately, the problem with video marketing is that to begin with, you have to know how to make your own videos.
And even if you could do your own videos, what if you learn that the affiliate program doesn’t convert well for you after all?

Understanding the Resources for Your Business Increases Productivity
May 8, 2008
One of the most important considerations of running a successful and profitable online business involves resources. By resources, we are referring to the suite of online resources that you use in your business on a daily basis. Regardless of whether you are an internet marketer or online entrepreneur focusing on another niche, it is vitally important that you document the most common online resources that you use in your business.
There are three main reasons why it is important to know, document, and utilize essentially an electronic Rolodex of online resources.
1) Save time -
The first and largest factor of utilizing an online Rolodex of resources is to save time. How many times have you went to add a script to your website only to have to waste 30 minutes searching for the script? When you cannot find a resource at the appropriate time, you are subjecting yourself and your business to inefficiencies that lead to lost production.
2) Save money - When you know where to find your resources it will keep you from “Googling” to find a resource and from getting hooked on someone’s sales page. About the time that you need a specific resource and cannot find it, the next obvious step is to search Google for that or a similar resource. Just record your resource links to avoid this time wasting and money spending activity!
3) Improved products -
It takes time and money to buy resources. When you’ve purchased something once……don’t waste time looking for alternatives or waste money purchasing competitor’s products. Focus on the resources that you do have – use them daily and become an expert in the application of those resources. Over time, your products will improve due to the consistency of use and of the resources that you use to complete daily tasks!
Overall, it is important to record your online resources for quick and efficient reference. By doing so, you’ll improve business efficiencies leading to saved time and money!

If you downloaded the Productivity Report the other day, you would have seen that there was a recommended resource listed at the end of it.
It was created by someone that gets hired by Fortune 100 Companies to show them how they can be more productive, so I’m sure he can teach you a thing or two!
His name is Brad Semp and he’s the mastermind behind Resource Cashmaps.
And in case you didn’t download the report or “think” you don’t need it, here’s the link:

I met Brad at JV Alert in Philly during a lunch presentation he did and I was immediately intrigued by what he had to say.
In fact, his presentation took him longer than expected and when his time was up, everyone in the room voted to let him continue, rather than get up and return to the seminar!
When he was finished, I happily handed him my order form to be involved in a $500 private webinar series that he conducted over the summer.
So go and grab your free Resouce Cashmaps The Last Boy Scout hd and, at the very least, visit and bookmark the Email Cashmaps website. You’ll need them eventually!

Creating a Productive Workspace
May 6, 2008
If you’re like most people, when you hear the word ‘productivity’, the things that come to mind probably include activities like prioritizing your chores, creating to-do lists, deliberate planning and so on.
These are essential, yes. But here’s one that most people leave out: Creating a productive workspace. Here’s how you can create your own:
~~> Create a cone of silence.
If you’re constantly interrupted by the phone, the door, emails and your child’s questions, you’ll never get anything finished. You need to clear out the distractions and create a “cone of silence” in your workspace.
If you’re doing work at home and there are others living in the house, it’s next to impossible to have a completely distraction-free day. As an alternative, schedule specific times of day where family members and friends aren’t allowed to interrupt you. Explain that it’s no different than if you worked at an office.
~~> Clear up the clutter. Your idea of clean is someone else’s idea of clutter. And that’s all right. The idea here isn’t to create a workspace that meets another persons idea of clutter-free. Instead, you should create a workspace that’s organized in a way that you can find things quickly.
If that means using milk crates instead of a filing cabinet, so be it. As long as you can quickly get to the items you want when you need them – and as long as you’re at ease with how your workspace looks – then that’s all that matters.
Personally, I like to have things around me within an arm’s reach. I place small piles on the floor so I can spin around in my chair and grab them.
I once went on a month long trip, attending seminars around the country and came home to find that my wife decided to “tidy things up” for me. It took me a month to get things “back to normal”.
Create a workspace for yourself, not to impress someone else.
~~> Make your workspace “yours”. Jerry Maguire full That means putting up pictures, memorabilia or anything else that makes you feel like this is your space. I’m a big NASCAR fan, so my wife calls my office, “The Race Room”!
If there are other people in the house, simply ask that this space be yours. I joke with my friends that I only own two rooms in my house. The office, which I share with an alligator and the kitchen. The rest belongs to my wife!
If your workspace doesn’t make you feel creative and energetic, then you’ll need to make some changes. It can be as easy as making sure it’s the right color or that you have enough light.
Making small changes like these could mean a world of difference to your productivity!
I’ve created another report that you can download for free, just click the link below.
Enjoy! And have a “productive” weekend!

It is very common for some to start the weigh-loss program, but then they shortly lose interest. You’ll need to sit down and think about what it will take for you to make the goal a success. This may mean that you’ll have to gain a partnership with a close friend or you may have to find the self-control to keep focused.
To make one of these resolutions realistic, you’ll need to think small. You’ll also need to come up with some sort or plan using the success of milestones to help push you further. There’s a lot of motivation to be developed concerning this type of goal, but you need to have the self-discipline to stick with it. You can’t allow yourself to give up even if that is all you can think about.
It’s also important that you have support from your family and friends. You’ll find that it’s very important because you’re going to need a pep talk every now and then. Most people find resolutions scary because they know they can do it, but they’re afraid to prove it to themselves.
Don’t let your next New Year’s Resolution to go down hill before you have even started working towards the goal!
