Matthew Bredel, owner of thewebreviewer.com, has expanded his service to the industry by launching a new course, NetWebVideo, which claims to teach its users how to develop a continual income from online marketing.   Capitalizing on his website which provides review and recommendations for home business internet resources, Matthew Bredel has compiled his experience in affiliate marketing into a comprehensive course with over 50 videos to select from, each one providing basic information, marketing strategy and website development tools for immediate use.

What You’ll Get

At a current promotional price of only $39 per month, you will have members only access to the NetWeb Video library of instructional course material.  These course videos are an excellent resource both for providing necessary groundwork explanation to the newcomer to the affiliate marketing venue as well as directing the seasoned professional in all of the most advanced techniques for increasing the ability to generate online revenue. 

Above all, Matt Bredel is a respected name in the online income marketplace and a trusted source for information from which income generating practices will work on the internet.  Furthermore, he not only relays the information that begins with the basics of setting up different types of businesses and progresses through marketing, product and keyword research and site optimization, but will also show you all of the steps required to ensure success in your online business venture.

A new selection of videos are available in the online library on a weekly basis, each of which focuses on a major topic in online income generation.  The overall library is updated monthly, ensuring instruction in the most up to date techniques as well as satisfying the requests of consumers on the website forum. Current topics include how to get top positions in Google, becoming an internet guru, avoiding traffic method scams, adcopy writing strategies, conversion strategies and blogging techniques to create internet wealth!

Potential Drawbacks

None, really, outside of the typical risks of the end user failing to correctly implement the techniques illustrated in the program.  No matter how explicit the instructions, there will always be some that just don’t get it.  Nonetheless, the vast experience and the desired continued reputation of Matthew Bredel as a highly respected online wealth website reviewer makes this package one of the most comprehensive available.

As a promotional relaunch of the website, NetWebVideo is available at the current price of only $39 per month, reduced from the regular price of $97 per month.  The regular price is well worth the cost for the level of expertise the user will receive from this program.  Since the current promotion guarantees a locking of the reduced price for life and contains a 30 day money back guarantee, the price is really right and the risk is non existent. 

The Recommendation

NetWebVideo is recommended for the level of expertise of its creator, the continual updates of video information ensuring that the marketing products are always up to date, and the level of detail in the explanations of methods. There are more appealing programs so I give it 2.5 stars.

As even the intermediate affiliate marketer has already determined, the key to internet revenue generation success is in advancing of your search engine optimization to bring your site to the top of the list of general search results.  There are complicated algorithms involved in many of the search engine databases which have made SEO tactics more difficult to implement, but there are still some basic guidelines to follow which will, in addition to more detailed use of specific optimization tools, secure your listing and increase your site traffic.

Find the Best Keywords

Use of a program such as Wordtracker to aide in the identification of the most popular keywords for your topic can be very useful.  Basically an online thesaurus with additional marketing data thrown in to compensate for specifics in your market niche, these types of programs not only help provide the most common keywords online searchers will use, but also identify the competition by providing reverse or opposition keywords that are used if the person searching the net poses a topic in question form.

Optimize Your Title

Be sure to identify the most important component driving your business in its title, to produce the most relevant number of hits.   If the point of your website is to advertise your dog grooming shop, be sure your city and state are part of the title keywords, since you are trying to appeal to customers in your geographical area.  If your website product is something fairly complicated, use a generic descriptive phrase in your title, as many people many not know the technical jargon, but know how to describe what they need and likely searched the topic in a question format.

Discover Your Competitors

Knowing who your competition is, and understanding the advantages of your product over theirs is a great way to snag new customers who may be disappointed in the results of your competition’s product.  Using a mildly negative phrase in your keyword list will drive your listing to the top of the search engine for those consumers who are banging on the keyboard after a bad experience with the competition.

Use Headings

Short phrases throughout your site to highlight important points will increase search engine listings and can be easily scanned by the consumer for relevance.

Use Title and ALT Attributes

Effectively using Title and ALT attributes in your page content will prompt positive results from human visitors to your site, as well as search engine spiders.  The ALT attribute is a descriptive text which is displayed before the download of images and is useful in providing information to browsers that do not support image downloads as well as sight impaired visitors to your site.

Title attributes describe links, tables and other structural HTML elements and are read my many search engine algorithms as regular page content, therefore resulting in higher list rankings. 

Install a sitemap.xml for Google

A site map will act as a directory of the pages on your website, hyperlinking each page on your site.  Not only good for getting search engine spiders to follow your page links but also helps your visitors quickly find what they are searching for.

Get Relevant Backlinks from High Quality Sites

Getting listed in directories, posting in forums, blogs and article directories is a great way to obtain backlinks, after, of course, researching the promoting sites on your own to determine if the market niche is appropriate for linking to your site.

Website Reviewed: Day Job Killer

Formerly in cognito Chris McNeeney has launched Day Job Killer in follow up to his two previous successful releases, AdWords Miracle and Affiliate Project X.  With the advent of Day Job Killer, McNeeney resurrects the long thought dead method of “direct linking” for affiliate marketers to promote online products.  Based on the success of his previous two products, there is already significant expectation that Day Job Killer will be revolutionary.

What You’ll Get

For a one time fee of $97 you will have instant download access to the Day Job Killer complete program.

Not without risk or for those who are squeaky clean in business practice.

Part of the success of this program is in the testing and potential failing of campaigns to determine which are profitable.  It also involves less than ethical, although none that are illegal, ways to literally steal free reign campaign ads from other advertiser and underbid them. Day Job Killer also lives up to the cyber gossip of revealing a lot of the “secrets” that many affiliate marketers use every day. Day Job Killer does not focus on long term money making through building websites and SEO, rather it teaches methods, in detail, to earn quick money through affiliate marketing and building quality lists.  And with an intermediate level of affiliate marketing background, these methods will generate income immediately.

Amid loads of claims of potential wealth attributed to other programs, Day Job Killer includes real profit pulling examples which have been tested by the program host, and whose details of implementation are spelled out in step by step format.  The host, Chris, intended to maintain anonymity, but repeated testing of the techniques described have lead to the conclusion that his methods are legitimate and media releases prior to launch confirmed his true identity.  Don’t be fooled.  If you are new to affiliate marketing, the program, even in step by step format, will be too complicated to implement without a basic understanding of what affiliate marketing is and how Google Adwords works.

Day Job Killer proudly dictates what it refers to as “job-killing techniques” such as Chris’ resurrection of the “google cash” method of advertising through direct linking, and how to take customers from another affiliate marketer and use them to build your own list.  Many affiliate marketer gurus are not happy with Chris, as he is targeting their established lists and uses their own techniques to do it.
Potential Drawbacks

Recent changes in the Clickbank Rules, clarification of certain word of mouth marketing rules by the Federal Trade Commission, and new laws in the UK and Europe directing clear identification of website property ownership may soon render many of the Day Job Killer’s techniques illegal, as they rely on pirating of other existing sites’ information for re-use.

The Recommendation

A satisfying affiliate marketer program in that it cuts right to the chase, skipping over the beginning level how-to’s of affiliate marketing and getting right into the meat of increasing internet based income.  Recommended for the strong willed intermediate to advanced affiliate marketer who is not afraid to get his hands a bit dirty to drive up revenue.

For the affiliate marketer who is serious about their business and not just attempting a get rich quick scheme in between scratching off lottery tickets, the success rate of your opt-in list is vital to the revenue generation of your sites.

There are a few initial tactics which have been proven to increase opt-in subscribers, through side by side and alternate week testing.  Testing these methods in specification to your own site, incidentally, is recommended as there are subtleties of each product that will appeal to or turn away your specific target market.

Make the opt-in questionnaire short.  Since the initial opt-in is basically just requesting additional information on a product they are not necessarily sold on yet, requesting two columns of specific market questions will be perceived as a waste of time to the potential subscriber.  He is, after all, searching the internet.  And although you know your product is the best one out there, the overall perception by the consumer is that there is always another option that is just as beneficial and not as invasive.

Add a personal question that is non-invasive, but gets the subscriber feeling good about himself.  If your product is relating to dog training, ask for the specific breed of dog from your subscriber.  This will not affect the materials you forward, but will promote a camaraderie between your subscriber and your site if he feels that you are interested in something specific that he loves.  This tactic works well in the marketing of any product that tugs at the heart strings; generally pets, baby due dates, wedding dates, and college graduation dates are milestone markers to the individual that make them feel special and willing to subscribe to products that they feel are catered especially to them. 

An easy and time tested way to increase your opt-in list is to offer a discount coupon for those who opt-in.  Even if the subscriber ultimately is not interested in the initial product, it gives you the opportunity to cross market additional merchandise that may result in additional sales.

Making additional offers at the time of opt-in is another way to increase sales while further refining your target market through the offer results.  An example of this practice would be in the implementation of a simple “customers who bought this product were also interested in…” line on your opt-in page.

An important facet to growing your opt-in list that is often overlooked is in how you continue selling to your interested party after they have opted-in.  Be sure to be continue to streamline your email program to the subscriber’s particular selections, maintaining the relationship by letting the subscriber know that he is an important individual to your marketing program and not just a generic participant.

Remain in contact with your opt-in subscriber by forwarding quick emails that request a response, such as preference update info, or inquiries regarding special offers.  This, again, maintains a more personal relationship between you and your subscriber and will give him the opportunity to take just a minute to help you focus in on the items that are of current importance to him.

Website Reviewed: Site Build It

Site Build it, is the useful membership available at SiteSell.com  for the affiliate marketers that have little knowledge of how to build a website. With Site Build It, the user will access the tools and instruction necessary to implement an SEO optimized website complete with RSS feeds, autoresponders, on online store, with access to keyword tools, forums, and a complete business guide.

Site Build It’s strategy focuses on a four-step process of content, traffic, presell then monetize, known as “C-T-P-M”, to deliver advanced instruction to it’s users through a an exclusive website membership.

What You’ll Get

For the annual cost of $299, the user will have access to the SiteSell members only website, as a resource for instruction in site building, hosting and marketing and includes a step-by-step system of software tools to implement the systems delivered by the site.  After Site Build It walks you through these critical steps, then they will give you one domain name of your choice and hosting for 12 months as part of your annual fee.  Also included is the added potential of retaining lifetime commissions on repeat sales as long as the user continues to generate new sales through the “5 Pillar Affiliate” program of Site Build It, by referring others to the products available at SiteSell.com.

Potential Drawbacks

Initially, the annual cost seems comparatively steep, especially considering that there is no up front information on the enrollment site that outlines exactly what the program site will offer.  Instead, the potential user is directed to watch a 30 minute video to obtain program information. 

A 30 minute video, in the big scheme of things, is not a lot to ask as long as the product actually delivers on its promises.  Which, in this case, the product does.  The downside is in that the consumer considering enrollment in SiteSell.com has already spent countless wasted hours on other products, and even asking someone to absorb 30 minutes of their life on every product they consider just to find out what that product is providing for the cost, is a bit unreasonable.  There is a 2 ½ minute short cut video teaser on the enrollment site, which only contains video testimonials of satisfied enrollees.

On the upside, considering the cost savings of not needing a site designer and programmer to create and optimize your website, and the program pays for itself.  Also factoring in the additional benefits of lifetime commissions on repeat sales as long as you continue to generate new sales through the “5 Pillar Affiliate” program of Site Build It, by referring others to the products available at SiteSell.com, and the program literally pays you to use it.

If you are new to online marketing, Site Build It is the tool to use to eliminate the start up costs associated with hiring a website designer and programmer, or the associated wasted costs of trial and error of other programs.  Site Build It also provides in-depth education to its members in knowing what parameters to use and how to implement them in deciding what to sell, who your target market is and the best way to generate sales through a website. 

The Recommendation

The Site Build It program is strongly recommended for new affiliate marketers who need education and consultation in start up aspects of an online business including website building.  For those who have already established a web based business and are looking for ways to expand or increase traffic flow, the Site Build It program may contain some information that will be useful, but the offset of start up costs will already be lost, making the program costly for what the experienced marketer will get from it.

Website Reviewed: Commission Blueprint

Commission Blueprint is an affiliate marketer training program created by Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey, both of whom are known as successful internet marketing experts.  Commission Blueprint uses the Clickbank and Google Adwords methods to maximize affiliate income generation.  

What You’ll Get

For a one time fee of $77 the prospective affiliate marketer will receive 14 DVDs, comprising over three hours of video instruction and three ebooks that support the video material with additional detail.

With an additional commitment of $67 a month, the user will secure a membership with Commission Blueprint that provides access to additional training and resources through its private website, including a blog forum for affiliate members to post any requests for clarification of any components of the program. 

After starting off slow, with the first three DVDs basically wasting an hour or so trying to sell the user on the benefits of affiliate marketing, and convince him not to be afraid of success, Commission Blueprint is a very good tutorial on the advantages, potential profitability and terminology associated with Clickbank and Adwords.  Among the most useful information is a step by step guide to product testing for profitability, use of specific market research tools and increasing traffic through strategic formulation of keywords and how to use Google’s free tools to estimate potential traffic for a given keyword.

Among the other topics which are explained in detail by Commission Blueprint are set up and utilization of domain names and hosting, creating landing pages for Adwords campaigns, managing Adwords campaigns to advance lists and scaling your affiliate business.  These are important components of the Commission Blueprint system that require a solid working knowledge of Adwords prior to trying to implement the tactics illustrated in the program. 

In addition to the video and ebook tutorials, Commission Blueprint provides the user with templates for a Review Page, a Sales Letter and two Opt-In Pages, which are all simple but very professional in appearance and provide a great basis for customization of these components.

The companion members only website to Commission Blueprint is one of its most valuable resources in that the member list has exploded since the release of the product, and the blog forum contains additional pearls of genius from it’s seasoned affiliate marketers and website creator, who seems to be available 24/7 to bounce ideas off of.
 
Potential Drawbacks

The sheer scale of the information contained in Commission Blueprint makes it feasible that a user can spend considerable amounts of time trying to master its contents, but still incorrectly implement the information, resulting in less than impressive revenue generation.  Furthermore, since the premise of the program is to capitalize on the use of Adwords, the user will have to already be secure in his knowledge of Adwords as well as having the disposable cash to invest in advertising.

The Recommendation

Commission Blueprint is a solid recommendation for the user who is already established in the internet marketing forums and fully understands the setup and utilization of Adwords.

Website Reviewed: Maverick Money Maker

If you are venturing into the world of affiliate marketing, and have been searching the net among the various programs to get you started in affiliate marketing, or help you advance your affiliate marketing business, you have undoubtedly come across the Maverick Money Makers club and wondered, like we did, if this program is really as foolproof as it is made out to be.

Mack Michaels, mastermind behind and co-developer of the Maverick Money Makers club, promises that by sharing his secrets and methods of success, all levels of affiliate marketers from novice to advanced will experience his level of wealth and financial success.  After convincing us that he’s just one of the little guys like us, trying to get ahead with some big dreams that he was often laughed at for, he hooks us with his own realization that the affiliate marketing business is really much easier than most programs make it seem, and that virtually anyone can be successful in the business without even having a product to sell or a website by becoming a member. 

The website states that there will only be a fixed number of members accepted into the club, after which time the site will be shut down, of course prompting quick action from any interested parties. 

What You’ll Get

Upon the decision to purchase the Maverick Money Maker, Mack Michaels emails his book “How to Get Started with Making Money Online” directly to the purchaser.

The program is very impressive in that it explains how to get started in affiliate marketing in a step by step method which is perfect for those who are not even familiar with the terminology of the industry yet. The program also outlines short cut methods that will help the more advanced user advance through the program more quickly, advancing at their own pace according to their level of experience. 

Also helpful are the indications of warning signs of what to look out for as there are lots of scam artists out there.

Potential Drawbacks

The initial $97 fee to join the Maverick Money Maker is higher than many good programs on the market.  In fact, if you are really strapped for cash, you can easily find reputable programs that cost half as much as the MMM club. 

The initial $97 fee is a recurring monthly charge to remain in the club.

The advantage to Maverick Money Maker, though, is that the site is well maintained and updated monthly to continue bringing industry advancements to the affiliate marketer which will keep their online business fresh and continuing to make money.

If you’re looking for a program that you really don’t have to pay attention to, this likely is not the one for you.  Since the club website is predicated on interaction between members as well as instruction from the program host, it is easy to become overwhelmed by all of the site information if you are not organized and disciplined. 

Aside from teaching the traditional affiliate marketing methods, and also some pretty innovative ones, much of the profit to be made from the program is in recruiting of additional club members, resulting in a virtual pyramid scheme.  While this provides more opportunity for members to make money, it also fosters intense competition between club members.

One of the best things about Mack Michaels’s program is that it is guaranteed to provide the level of success you desire or you can get your money back within the first 60 days.

The Recommendation

Overall, I highly recommend the Maverick Money Maker, as it provides every basic detail needed for the startup user, insightful and revolutionary methods to the veteran, and monthly updates to maintain a fresh approach to affiliate marketer for all members.

If you are gifted at the art of writing, consider yourself both lucky and in demand.  As the advancements in technology have prompted more and more businesses to sell their services over the internet, most have found themselves frustrated in the fact that they are good at their core business but cannot seem to describe it effectively in a written format.  This is where the copywriter comes into play. 

Providing services to the online industry in providing promotional copy to businesses wanting to create a website has really opened up the market for would be writers to generate income on their craft. 

As most businesses that operate offline only rely on the services of an advertising firm to provide text content for their brochures and promotional materials, the popularity of the internet has propelled the writer into the forefront of demand as virtually every company, large or small, is now expected to have a website and most of the general population is either unskilled or unmotivated to effectively promote their own company by writing out the copy to apply to their website.

There are many internet avenues available for generating income for the copywriter, including providing website content, press releases, online advertising copy, promotional materials, direct marketing email content, contract proposals and general ghostwriting. 

In order to market your own services as a copywriter, first and foremost have a portfolio of your work available.  Be sure to maintain the anonymity of your previous clients in all written work submitted for proposal to a new client, as your previous writings will likely be divulging the personal business practices of your previous clients, and most clients will consider your paid copy materials to be proprietary.  Make the substitution of any company name in your portfolio obvious in intention to preserve the personal information of former and future clients.  Use “ABC Company” in place of every company name in all of your past pieces, as an example.

Generally, a sample of previous work will be enough to land a copywriting job, in addition to agreement to payment terms.  If you are new at this and don’t have previous jobs to list in your portfolio, make some up.  You will be submitting your actual articles to a potential new client for his review in making a decision to hire you, so it is of no consequence if you wrote the article for an actual company last year and substituted the company name with “ABC Company”, or if you wrote it this morning, as long as the client appreciates and approves of your writing style and is confident in your ability to deliver a positive image of his company.

Launch your own website to promote yourself and your copywriting business.  There are loads of people out there that simply cannot do what you do, and they will go to the internet, like everyone else, to try to find someone who can.  Post your previous articles on your site.  List your services.  Include your fee structure.  And offer to provide any article for free if you do not meet the agreed upon deadline.  While your portfolio will demonstrate your writing ability, it cannot show how long it takes for you to complete the job.  It will be up to you to set a reasonable deadline with your new client and then do what it takes to follow through with it.  The offer of free service for missed deadlines will be the security that your new client needs to make his decision.

Use of an online article directory to promote your business can be a very lucrative way to invite new potential customer to visit your website, if timed and written properly.  Article directories are beneficial to the directory owner as well as the article writer in the the directory will place paid advertisements on the pages of the article to generate revenue.  The relevance of the article to the ad placement will be of vital importance to ensure that both the article writer and the website directory owner will benefit from crossover marketing.  As the website gains in search engine list ranking, the number of articles and advertisement revenue will also increase.

Additional aspects of marketing to consider in article writing are the techniques of niche keyword usage in search engine optimization and prolific hyperlinks and backlinks to increase traffic to the article site as well as the article authors primary website.

Use of public article directories such as EzineArticles.com provide the author with exposure to the marketplace and advances in personal credibility which translate into increase in business hits to the personal website as he becomes quietly known as an “expert” in his field.  To increase the impact of your article submissions, be sure to use a title that both includes your keyword, for increase in SEO ranking, and is appealing to real people viewing the site list, so it will actually get read.  This two fold method of advertising your product or business will help ensure that your marketing message is getting as much exposure as possible.

Another strategic way to ensure as many reads of your articles as possible is to keep them short and sweet.  Typically 400 to 600 words is the range for internet based articles that will get the important points of topic relayed to your target market audience and not have your audience lose interest before the end of the article.  If you are accumulating backlinks or direct links from hits to your article, there will be some benefit even if the attention span of the reader does not last the duration of the article, but the main intention of the writing is to convince your target market of the importance of your product. 

Simply put, most of the affiliate marketer program websites out there are simply tooooooooo looooooong.  We are all conditioned to scan these sites as the content is often repeated ad nauseum and we just want them to get to the point!  Don’t victimize your audience with the same error.  Concisely describe your position and rely on the intelligence of your audience to make the right decision.

A word must also be added about timing of article topics.  The proper timing, in combination with the right angle on the topic, can dramatically increase the viewing of your article.  You know what your core business is, and when your busiest time of the year is, and why.  Cater an article around these points and use it to increase your client list during your busiest season, or promote additional business on the off season.
