Whether you’re into product creation or another Internet marketing model, you’ll benefit from some of the videos and free reports Kevin Riley has been creating. Today’s resources are the first two videos in a series of six he has designed to help you attain income security this year.

“Income Security In Tough Times” and “Which Are Facts? Which Are Myths?” each come with a free copy of a special report that Kevin wrote, both with valuable business and income building information that may save you a lot of grief and wasted time. And although it’s not necessary to opt-in to his list, if you do you’ll be notified of the next four videos.

If you’re relying on just your browser to manage your bookmarks, you’re missing out on a lot of what can be done with them. Delicious is a great way to add a lot of power to your bookmarks, and all you have to do is install an add-on for Firefox or Internet Explorer or a bookmarklet for other browsers.

Tag your bookmarks and group them; add notes; sync them between all your browsers and computers; and share them with others—be sure to comment on the IMWR site about how you’re using this social networking site to increase your IM business.

Audio can be a very powerful addition to your website or blog, but many people don’t use it because it because it can be confusing and/or expensive. It doesn’t haven’t to be. I found an easy-to-use WordPress plug-in that adds an audio player to your posts and pages, as well as instructions for adding the functionality to your website if you don’t use WordPress.

Here, too, is a short report that gives some pretty good advice for using audio online. You’ll have to put up with blatant, unrelated product pitches in the report, but don’t let those distract you from the information.

Every time I set up a new info product website, I pull out a checklist. It’s an Excel spreadsheet with a line for each task that needs to be done. From uploading the software ($7 Secrets Scripts, of course) to tying it in to my autoresponder to creating a support ticket department, every line item is there to be checked off.

Checklists ensure you get all of your ducks in a row. And with a lot of ducks… um, pieces to your website marketing puzzle, it helps to have a comprehensive list of things that should be done. The creator of this web marketing checklist isn’t shy at all about telling you it’s the best one out there.

Frankly, I don’t know much about pay-per-click. I do know that there are websites and desktop applications that will help you “spy” on AdWords advertisers, to find out what keywords they’re bidding on and then use that data to build your own campaigns. And they cost money.

But PPC Web Spy goes right in Firefox as a free extension. Do a search in Google and a “View Keywords” button shows up right next to each AdWords ad. Click the button and you see the keywords the advertiser is bidding on, along with the cost-per-click, the number of clicks they’re getting each day, and more. How easy is that?

Conversations with Millionaires is the title of a book by Mike Litman and Jason Oman, a compilation of 9 interviews conducted by Mike on his weekly radio show. Traditional book publishers said “No,” but Mike persevered and CWM became a #1 best seller on Amazon.

Packed with advice from Jim Rohn, Robert Allen, Jim McCann, and others, Conversations with Millionaires will show you what you never learned about in school: what millionaires do to get rich. Your copy (in PDF format) is free of charge.

(Something is wrong with the site’s opt-in process, so users are never taken to the download page. The link above will take you directly to the download page; I will be happy to change that once the opt-in process works.)

As social networking and other Web 2.0 sites proliferate, and as you begin getting involved more and more in them, your user name pretty much becomes your identity. If your user name gets used by someone else, it could be a big deal to you—particularly if it’s a branding ID like your real name or your product.

UserNameCheck.com checks a plethora of sites (currently 68) for the availability of your user name, then gives you either a link to signup (if available) or to view the user on the site. Use it not only to see how and where your user name is being used, but also to show the newest Web 2.0 sites you should be checking out.

Pop-ups, pop-overs and pop-unders are all seen as obtrusive advertising that interferes with the user experience of your blog. The last thing someone needs is a flashy ad message popping up everywhere when they are trying to read your blog’s content.

Enter Stripe Ad for WordPress, a new, non-obtrusive way of displaying a single line of advertising, a special note or other information right at the top of your blog. The ad itself is simple, easy to use, and you can have multiple ads rotating according to your needs.

Test. Test again. Then test some more. In fact, you should never stop testing your sales and marketing processes. It’s only by testing your processes and comparing them to previous efforts that you can improve your results and increase your bottom line.

Opt-in pages are part of one such process. How many subscribers does page A get compared to page B? What if you change just one headline? Or leave out the requirement for a last name? Testing all of the variables can be time-consuming, though; that’s where a tool like Opt-in Revolver comes in handy for automating the split-testing of your opt-in pages.
