Time Management on Crack

IMWR — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:06:48 +0000

Outside of not knowing exactly what to do, I believe that the problem that most inexperienced Internet marketers—and many of them that are experienced—find themselves up against is…

A lack of focus and a feeling of being overwhelmed because of information overload, coupled with responding to the demands of work and family in addition to their online business. In short,…

“I don’t have time!”

Time Management on Crack is a series of formulas that one top Internet marketer used to create 52 products in 2008 (I just checked and found that I purchased almost half of those myself last year). You can use these formulas yourself to write articles, blog posts, or email followups; create audio interviews or video tutorials; or set up a membership site, WordPress blog, or autoresponder sequence.

All in a lot less time than you might have contemplated taking before. That feeling of being overwhelmed was just replaced with fierce determination.

What is a Viral Loop?

IMWR — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:05:31 +0000

You could read the Fast Company article on viral loops, but that probably won’t really help you understand how to use one to add, say, 5,000 buyers to your list in 3 months. You’ll probably be better off joining Justin Blake’s new, free Subscriber Virus membership site and see how he’s actually doing it.

This one intrigued me because of how Justin is working the signup process. But I don’t want to spill the details—I’ll just let him tell you about it.

Are You a Noob?

IMWR — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:04:44 +0000

Okay, you will have to subscribe to a list for this one, but it’s worth it. Marlon Sanders is a marketer that I respect and “The Newbie Guide” should be required reading for anyone getting into Internet marketing.

You’ll learn things like why a free offer doesn’t guarantee people respond and ten time-tested ways to get your freebie noticed. (Not that it’s all about free stuff, but hey, that’s what IMWR is about.) And you’ll get Marlon’s Marketing Minute every Saturday, too.

IMWR — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:03:35 +0000

There’s nothing your customers like better than free, especially when they weren’t expecting it. That’s why many Internet Marketers put bonuses on their download pages, adding value to the products their customers just purchased.

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.

Great-Tasting Bookmarks

IMWR — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:01:56 +0000

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.

Can You Hear Me Now?

IMWR — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 22:05:08 +0000

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.

The Best Darn Checklist for Marketing a Website

IMWR — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 22:04:11 +0000

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.

Legally Spying on PPC Campaigns

IMWR — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 22:03:19 +0000

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?
