Super Affiliate Profitable Niches

February

• Valentines Day – How to Get Your Ex Back

• Cheating Husband – My Husband is Cheating

• Busted iPhone Screen – Shattered Glass on the iPhone

• How to Unlock Your iPhone for All Phone Carriers

• Gaming Guides for New Releases (and Most Popular Releases!)

The trick to these niches are simple.  When you see a new best selling video game, then target that game plus gaming guide or cheats.  When iPhone comes out with a new version, then target those who want to remain on their carrier.  During “romantic” holidays target the single ladies over 30 because chances are – they didn’t reach 30 without ever having a ex.  :0)

Super Affiliate Hosting

• Hostgator: I always have technical questions for programmers and my hosting company actually answers them 24/7. They don’t have to either (because they aren’t responsible for WordPress technical support). BUT this is why I use them!

Blogging

• How to Start a Blog That Matters: Want to know my inspiration for blogging and how to start one that really matters. This is the complete training.
• My WordPress Theme is Called Freshlife: I have used this theme for SuperAffiliate and Kit Elliott w/ Kit Elliott.

Email Marketing

• Aweber: The best autoresponder and email marketing system I’ve found. If you’re not capturing and following up with your leads, you’re not in business. It’s a simple as that. Aweber is affordable, very easy to use, and can grow with you as your business grows. I’ve tried many others, but have always come back to Aweber. Must Have.
• Popup Domination: This is the software I use for the opt-in form that “magically” appears over this blog. Works great and gives me an extra opportunity to capture leads. Recommended. (Works with Aweber)
• Ultimate Footer Popup: This is another piece of software that “slides” an opt-in box UP at the bottom of a sales page, blog, etc. Another unique method I’ve used to capture leads. (Works with Aweber.)

Website/Squeeze Page Design

• Optimize Press: Before Optimize Press, it was common for me to spend $500 to $1,000 or more to have a designer create an opt-in page or sales letter page from scratch. After Optimize Press, I can now “click and create” professional-looking opt-in pages, sales pages, membership sites, and more. It’s like getting unlimited website design services for a one-time fee of $97. Another must-have tool that’s indispensable.
• My Adsense WordPress Theme: This is the WordPress theme that makes it easy to setup and drop your adsense in the most profitable zones.
• Affiliate Review Templates: Find some products – add a review template that converts your traffic to buyers. These are the best out there.
• Niche Templates: I like being a members of Niche Templates because they find the niches for me and send me the complete ready to go templates. I just have to add SEO with SENuke (and I’m in profit!)

Membership Software

• Digital Access Pass: This is the software that I use for membership sites like WealthWorld (and download pages). This is most advanced and simple to use plugin for WordPress. You drop it in and protect pages. Works with most shopping carts.

Viral Marketing

• Viral PDF Generator: I love this service. With VPG, you can create viral pdf reports that are 1-click rebrandable. You can create “free to rebrand” reports for your opportunity… or reports that customers must pay to rebrand. Lots of options, all explained by the creator of VPG, James Grandstaff.

Time Management

• Nozbe: I’d be lost without my Nozbe account. With so many projects going on simultaneously, personal activities, appointments, etc., I love being able to access and organize ALL of this from any computer, my iPhone, and iPad. If you need an organizational system that really works, I highly recommend testing out Nozbe for yourself. (I’d be lost without it)

Affiliate Marketing Training

• Affilorama: It’s not only the quality of this training that’s surprising. It’s that it’s free. Over 100 hours of video lessons, tools, training. If you’re asking yourself, “How in the heck do I get traffic?”, then you need to create an account at Affilorama and go through their free training. Highly recommended.

SEO and Traffic

• SeNuke: This is the complete all-in-one solution for getting the top spot for ANY keywords. You can even start your own SEO business with this do it for you tool. I do SEO twice a week and “set it and forget it” for the entire week!
• Free Advertising Academy: This is an eye-opening course by Jeff Gardner that will get you in the “marketing mindset” and will show you how to get free traffic to ANY product/offer or service. Rated A on IMReviews.

Twitter Management for Multiple Niches

• Tweet Adder: This was the complete eye-opening software that changed the game for me. This allows me to spread my posts out over time, schedule tweets, automatically reply to followers and retweet (all on autopilot. It’s been a lifesaver for my multiple niches and really is the key component for creating a lot of interaction with my different niches!

Video Player

• Easy Video Player: Most of the big players out there are using Easy Video Player. You upload your video, add some clever features, and copy the code. Easily embed video in ANY website using this plugin.

Virus and Malware Protection

• Anti-Virus Elite: Back in 2009, this site got hit with a malware, and I lost 5 years of blog posts. Using this software, I was able to keep it free and clear of any viruses and now, we’re dominating the search engines once again.

Other Opportunities I Make Money In

• Empower Network: I joined Empower for multiple reasons: The founders are smart, successful guys in the industry with integrity. The products are evergreen and in-demand by millions of network marketers worldwide. The marketing system is already set up and ready to go. Oh yeah… and it pays out 100% commissions and recurring residual income. When I ran through my “Opportunity Review Checklist”, it had everything I look for – so I joined. If you’re interested in finding out more, check out my Empower Network Review.
• MatchRatePLUS: This company offers a patent-pending 25% Cash Back services to U.S. business owners on their credit and debit card processing fees. I joined, because I’ve had a friend in the credit card processing field for years – and he’s made a lot of money in this industry. I like MatchRate, because it’s free to join, they give you all of the training you need to get started, and you can get paid as Agents you refer share this service with merchants. So far, I’ve signed up 675 Agents, my total “Agent Organization” is at 8,127, and my monthly residual income increases by 30% per month.

Yet most people still haven’t heard of MegaUpload or know what it is.  MU is a fast, easy way to store massive files and share them with your customers, your co-workers, your friends.. (and well everyone).  At one point, I believe MegaUpload was the 5th largest website in the world with the owner raking in over $60 million dollars through ad clicks!

Let’s say I need to get a large video file over to my video department in Austin, TX.  I would easily upload it to MU’s cloud and they provide a downline link that you share with the video department.  Very simple.

Problems with The Cloud and MegaUpload

There has and always will be people uploading unauthorized content to the cloud and passing it over to their friends.  The challenge is, “how do you download and review 100 million uploads per day..”  There is no possible way to review every single upload that every company and business uploads and check to make sure each upload doesn’t infringe on copyright infringement laws.

With Every Great Challenge Comes Increased Opportunity

This challenge presents a unique opportunity for someone to solve these challenges and reap the rewards.  Remember Napster?   Napster presented an alternative form to downloading music that is now the model for iTunes.  iTunes solved the challenge and is now the number one company in the world.  People now can download each song, pay for it, and feel confident that they are safe from the government trying to sue a 6 year old or a grandma for clicking a download button.  With this new challenge comes a great opportunity for someone to come in, fix the problem, and create a winning distribution channel.

Why the Government is Wrong to Shutdown MegaUpload

Kim Dotcom's Shack - Owner of MegaUpload

We come from a country where there is due process and people are innocent until proven guilty.  When MegaUpload owners get hauled in – their site shutdown – and a big notice put on their site saying that this domain name has been seized on suspicion of racketeering, and money laundering, and copyright infringement, and if I’m innocent and there is due process, shouldn’t I go through the due process before you shut down my site and put a notice to all my users. Shouldn’t I be guilty first before you take my website?   If I’m truly innocent, then I should be able to go about my business until the sentencing date occurs.  If I’m innocent beforehand, then why am I being treated like I’m guilty?

If I owned a skyscraper, and the departments on the 30th floor were suspected of illegal activity (but they brought in 10 percent of my revenue) and I knew about it.  And I procrastinated because it would take some time to brainstorm and find the solution, then the FBI wouldn’t take a bulldozer and bulldoze the bottom floor (taking down the whole building).  The solution is to make changes to the 30th floor!

The FBI makes these general sweeps (with no regard to innovation) and no chance of making these changes ever.  That’s wrong. I believe that companies and people who work hard but find out that they have a flaw somewhere in the system should be given a chance to correct the situation first.  This is still a business – people are working day and night to solve these challenges and correct situations.. the FBI and the govt need to wake up and realize that.

Is MegaUpload a Winning Distribution Channel

Here’s why I think it’s a winning distribution channel.  When content is being distributed though the channel and there is monetary value being exchanged, then you have a distribution channel where negotiations can be made.  When the music

Owner of MegaUpload Legally Changed His Name to Kim Dotcom

industry and the movie studios are demanding their head on a platter, I’m saying work something out monetarily.  We are willing to pay for each download – let’s work it out.  If this distribution channel is making $100 million per year, then this might be a successful option for getting your content out there.  Just because the consumer is not clicking “charge my credit card” does not mean that money cannot be exchanged by the distributor and the copyright holder.

Building and maintaining the 5th largest website (or even the 50,000th largest website) takes a lot of hard work and consistency.  When the govt comes in and shuts it down without negotiating should be against the law.    And it has a chance to be changed.  The law is the collection of voices who shout the loudest and when PIPA and SOPA were under fire – who spoke the loudest?  WE DID!  From Wikipedia to Craigslist to Affiliates to Internet Marketers – we spoke the loudest!

And you know what?  It worked.

It worked because we had numbers.  When we have numbers and thousands of complaints are being logged PER HOUR then they HAVE to back down.  They have to drop measures that affect you and me.  They have to create measures that work and benefit all of us (not just the billion dollar companies who complain about a 1981 copy of Mermaid being uploaded to their site because some teenager wanted to share it)

The bottom line is this.

When building a business, everyday presents new challenges (every single day).  These challenges are fixed and some are ignored or put on the back burner.  When the owner says they are willing to negotiate terms because this is a new alternative distribution channel and the government is saying, “NOPE – LIFETIME JAIL SENTENCE!” Then that’s wrong.  When the owners are wanting to brainstorm how to solve this challenge with the complainers and cut them in on the deal, but the government says, “NOPE – LIFETIME JAIL SENTENCE!” Then that’s wrong.

For me – this country is in danger of being shutdown entirely of manufacturing and innovation because when innovation meets a closed minded government, business cannot thrive and survive.  Company owners cannot take risks or even open up a dialogue without having their business shut down entirely or worse, going to jail for life.  What are your thoughts of governments coming and pressing the OFF switch?  Leave your comment below..

What is Tim Ferriss Up To?

Remember the 4 Hour Workweek with Tim Ferriss? I remember when that book hit the marketing waves, and every marketer who worked day and night thinking about business, producing products, and marketing other people’s products dreamt of doing what they do but in 4 hours per week time!  I can name two people who took off immediately:  Kevin Wilke and John Reese.  They both said goodbye to their normal 6 am to midnight jobs to travel the world and experience what the world could teach them.  I think we all want that to a certain degree.   Like we’re going to step foot on a beach one morning and the skies are going to open up and fill our souls with all of life’s secrets.  For me, I hunger for balance within structure.  If you haven’t read “The 4-Hour Workweek” then get it today!  I love that book..  it reminds me that life is too short to become a financial slave and freedom can be yours once you setup the “residual income” that you need to survive.  (click the image to find out what Tim Ferriss is up to now!)

This morning, I was searching templates for disclaimers and disclosures for my websites (to be FTC compliant) when I stumbled upon Tim Ferriss who is generous enough to let you use his disclaimers! This disclaimer is true for this website so feel free to use it on yours as well…

Tim Ferriss and SuperAffiliate.com Website Disclosure

From Tim Ferriss:

This blog is not primarily financially driven. I put it up in 2007 to build a community and learn from all you smart people.

That said, beginning December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to provide disclosures whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.

First, the obvious: I am a tech investor and advisor. Here are some of the start-ups I work with.

Second, the less obvious: Per the FTC rules, if I interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to specify this. Ditto if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo and I wear it in a photo, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place.

This would be tedious for me and a continual eye sore for readers. But rules is rules.

To cover my arse and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every recommendation, link, and product Kit Elliott and SuperAffiliate.com use, the following all hold true:

Please feel free to use the text and images on this page with proper attribution. There is no reason why each blogger should have to reinvent the wheel.

Empower Network is the brainchild of David Wood and David Sharpe which launched a few months ago.  Within the first 30 days, Empower Network paid out over $1 million in commissions to its members.  Within the first 56 days, Empower Network paid over $2 million in commissions and it’s taken off virally.

Now, with over 11,000 members blogging daily – Google is giving it significant link juice and I’ve seen a lot of Empower blogs ranking for many many keywords on page 1 of Google.

Empower Network Compensation Plan

People working from home and making money online are desperately searching for a new type of proven affiliate program that has a quick ROI and a potential to make a lot of money.  So the Empower Network Compensation Plan offers a lot of “triggers” that can really entice the home business crowd.   First, you can get started with Empower Network for as little as $25 per month and start building a residual income.  Second, you have the opportunity to buy the resell rights to three products right now with plans on adding more products to the Empower Network line later on.  Third, with all three products, an affiliate can get paid up to $625 per sale and build their monthly income since Empower Network pays out 100% directly to your bank account.

When your referrals start promoting their own, you get every 2nd, 4th, 6th, and every 5th sale after that.  This is incredibly brilliant when you see the “viral effect” in action.  That means that you recruit a few affiliates and you get paid on their effects.  (which could snowball into something big on its own).

Empower Network Products and System

Empower Product #1: The High SEO Blogging Platform

First, there’s the ready-to-go blogging platform which Google regards as an authority site since over 11,000 members use it.  That means you can use this authority site to promote your money sites, affiliate offers, and your own products and services and gain higher rankings in Google.  At $25 per month, it’s a no-brainer for people paying thousands in SEO already.

Empower Product #2:  The Inner Circle

I love product #2 because I’m always looking to “level-up” by learning from others.  When you interview many guru’s and successful people on how they made it, they all come to ONE common ingredient.  That ingredient is “always learning”.  They spend money on training programs, ebooks, masterminds, coaching, and more so they can get the unfair advantage.  School doesn’t stop at 12th grade or college – its’ a lifetime thing.  The Empower Network’s crew interviews six-figure and seven-figure earners on their techniques and strategies and this is delivered inside a password protected “inner circle”.

Empower Product #3:  The Costa Rica Intensive Seminar

Empower Network Co-Founder, David Wood, held a 3-Day intensive training event in Costa Rica – with some of the top marketing experts helping him teach. The price tag for the one-time event was $2,997 per person – plus travel, food, and lodging – and it sold out.

Fortunately, the entire event was caught on HD video – and it’s being made available to Empower Network Members for much, much less than the original $2,997 pricetag. There’s 11 hours of cutting-edge marketing strategies, methods, and techniques that show network marketers how to go from zero to six-figure and seven-figure incomes in their chosen opportunities.

Empower Network Scam

Are people making money?  I have seen many people in forums saying that they lost money with Empower Network and they feel cheated or scammed.  Then, when you dig a little further – you realize that those people may not have known how to setup their system.

First, while I admit that the system could be gamed because those people you refer could signup under themselves.  This means that the passup sales you want would NOT go to you.  This cuts off the flow of commissions, and I’ve been assured that the three people out of 11,000 who got caught have been banned and their accounts deleted.  Bye bye residuals.  So you’ve been warned!

Second, you can download a FREE setup guide for nontechnie people by clicking this link:  Empower Network Setup Guide (even if I didn’t refer you to this setup guide). The system is really easy to setup because it’s literally copy and paste and update.

1. You copy and paste your paypal email address or your authorize.net transaction key then click save.

2.  You copy and paste your aweber list so you can capture your leads.  I have teamed up with Aweber to train you if you do not know how to do this:  Click Here to Signup with Aweber for $1 and Get That Training!

3.  You upload your picture and fill in your profile – and you’re done.  That’s it.

Your new Empower Network system is ready to go!  AND you can still grab the setup guide if you need more step by step instructions and pictures.

Empower Network Review and Empower Network Bonus

While I’ve personally received 100% of my income back within minutes, I have to say that I fully recommend Empower Network because it passes the Super Affiliate test for building passive residuals.  Does it pay a residual?  YES.  Is there a viral component built-in – meaning can you refer others and get paid from the work they do?  YES.   Is it a hot product and is there a high demand for it?  YES.

I’m extremely happy with Empower Network, and there is a lot of buzz from David Wood and David Sharpe that there will be lots more products added to the Empower line which means you could celebrate bigger and bigger paydays on top of your already increasing monthly residual.

But I recommend you do your own due diligence like I did since everyone experiences different results, but I assure you that I am going all out to help you get started fast and get setup quickly.

Empower Network Bonus

First – when you create your Empower Network account by click here, you will get access to my private team area where you can download my bonus to you PLUS additional training and tools you can use to grow your network.

Second – the first and second bonus you get in my private team area is the SETUP guide and a viral report that you can rebrand with your Empower link inside.  The report is HOT and since the viral component is built-in, others can give it away or resell it so your network can grow virally with little effort.

Third – the third bonus you get is exclusive access to a FREE Traffic workshop that shows you exactly how I get traffic to my websites and money sites without paying a dime.  There are 9 videos total starting from beginner to advanced levels and each video is easy to understand for non-techie people and my advanced marketers will love module 3.

The Free Traffic Workshop is a $997 value.. I’ll be adding three professionally written reports that you can give away to your team.  Right now, there is ONE that you can use right now.  AND the setup guide, you can download right now and you can give to your team so they can get started quickly.

After that – I’ll be adding more and more training for my team and notifying you of any new strategies and reports as they come up.

I’m writing to you today… because I just got word that I can save you $1,200.00 – on an upcoming LIVE EVENT that I’ll be attending in Washington, DC in March 2011

It’s Yanik Silver & Derek Gehl’s Underground Online Seminar…

In case you haven’t registered (or even heard about) Yanik Silver and Derek Gehl’s Underground Online Seminar® 7 – time is running out…

You’ve only got until January 28th to grab all your discounts and freebies that they’ve reserved for my clients at…

http://www.UndergroundOnlineSeminar.com

Even though this event is still a few weeks away, you need to move FAST because while other events struggle to fill seats The Underground® has been SOLD-OUT every year for the past 6 years!

Now in case you’re not really sure about this event – I’ve asked Yanik Silver & Derek Gehl to put together a few reasons why you need to be there. But instead of five or six reasons like I thought they’d give me – here are their 19 reasons…

————————————————————-

REASON #1: Not the same “usual suspects” who speak at almost every seminar. They’ve brought together an elusive group of real-world “doers” to teach you what they’re doing online.

————————————————————

REASON #2: No one making the bulk of their income from the “Internet World” or selling “How to Make Money”. (That means they can’t be a ‘shovel seller’.)

And that’s just one of the reasons why there are NO seminars like the Underground® event.

————————————————————-

REASON #3: The speakers combined bring in millions online selling everything from eBooks, real physical products, domains, information products, software, advertising, social media, iPhone apps, membership sites & more.

————————————————————-

REASON #4: World-class keynote speakers.

You’ll be able to get up close and personal with the pioneers and the trendsetters who are shaping the next phase of Internet Marketing.

Here are just 3 of the keynote speakers you will be able to rub shoulders with at Underground® 7.

KEYNOTE #1: Ted Leonsis, former vice chairman of AOL.

Ted is now the owner of several Washington-area professional sports teams including the Washington Capitals and Wizards.

He’s on the board of directors of American Express (after selling one of his ventures for over $300M). And has his fingers in all sorts of new media ventures including Groupon.com, the fastest company ever to raise nearly $1B in funding.

KEYNOTE #2: Scott Harrison, CharityWater.org.

Scott pioneered new ways to use social media to help over 1,000,000 Africans get clean drinking water they would never have had. (In fact, he’s raised over $400k on Twitter alone for building wells.)

KEYNOTE #3: Chad Folkening

Chad is a guy who truly knows how to start, grow and sell wildly successful eCommerce businesses. He has over 15,000 domains in his portfolio and has a real formula to turning a $10 domain into a $100k windfall.

————————————————————–

REASON #5: Underground® is a networking opportunity not to be missed because the guests, speakers and Internet “celebrity” experts will all be there to do business together.

————————————————————–

REASON #6: The speakers will all be giving up their juiciest secrets and best info because they are competing for the title of “Top Underground Marketer” and a $10,000 prize for their favorite charity.

(They sure don’t need the money.)

————————————————————–

REASON #7: Take a tax-deductible trip to the Nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. (talk to your tax professional first).

————————————————————–

REASON #8: Spend a couple extra days and bring the family to Washington, DC. The Nation’s capital is a must-see destination for anyone. From the sprawling monuments, to the famous sites to the historical landmarks to the trendy streets of Georgetown – you will find more than enough to keep you occupied.

————————————————————–

REASON #9: New information straight from the trenches on Web 2.0, Social media, membership sites, content sites, niche marketing, information marketing, search engine optimization, blogging, joint ventures, email marketing, selling real products & services, list building and much more…

—————————————————————

REASON #10: Easy payment plan makes your investment easy on the wallet.

Heard enough? Check it out:

http://www.UndergroundOnlineSeminar.com

—————————————————————

REASON #11: New information from Derek and Yanik we’ve NEVER, ever shared before.

—————————————————————

REASON #12: A $1200 discount if you register BEFORE January 28th.

After January 28th, 2011 the price will drastically increase. This is the lowest price going!

—————————————————————

REASON #13: Confidential information to be shared.

Several of the presenters have already warned me that they will need to turn off the cameras and the microphones so they can reveal ‘off- the-record’ information they don’t want to be recorded.

Yes that does mean I will be taping this event but I definitely do NOT have plans on releasing it to the general public in its entirety.

In fact, three years ago our “Mr. X #1 and Mr. X #2″ won the Underground® marketer of the year award by audience vote but their ENTIRE presentation was not recorded so the only way of getting the info was attending LIVE!

So if you plan on waiting for the recordings – realize they will be heavily edited. That means the only way to get full disclosure is to get here in person!

Also, a strict Non-disclosure policy will be in effect.

————————————————————–

REASON #14: ** ONLY FOR EARLY-BIRD SIGN_UPS **

You’ll be joining my guest presenters, experts and Internet buddies for a “VIP” networking Casino Royale night!

When you register before Jan 28th you’ll receive a special red VIP ticket and confidential password. You must have both in order to gain admittance into a private, closed-door event we’re holding on the first night of the Underground® 7 seminar.

I guarantee it’ll be the most FUN (and profitable) night you’ve had in a long, long, long time.

It’s THE ideal time and place to cut JV deals, build relationships, and do high-level networking most people NEVER have access to.

Fortunes will be made in this room from the deals being done, some off-chance remark or an idea thrown out.

I’m literally bolting the doors shut and the only way to get inside is by having your red VIP ticket and password. This is an exclusive bonus only until the early-bird cut off or until the limited number of spots are taken (whichever comes first).

After that time there is absolutely NO way to pay to get in!

————————————————————-

REASON #15: Networking opportunity not to be missed

Our buddies (who also happen to be world-class Internet and direct marketing experts) have been clamoring to attend.

I don’t know who will show up this year but previous high- profile attendees were Dan Kennedy, Jonathan Mizel, Jim Edwards, Marlon Sanders, Jeff Johnson, Jeff Walker, Stephen Pierce, Bill Glazer, Perry Marshall, Rosalind Gardner, Joel Comm, Willie Crawford, Mike Filsaime, Russell Brunson, Michel Fortin, Michael Holland, Phil Wiley, Kevin Wilke, Andrew Fox, and many others who came to learn and not to B.S. in the hallways.

In addition to that, there’s the previous “Rogue Agents”. Many of these guys and gals have told me in no uncertain terms they absolutely want back in to learn from the new presenters, network and be part of the action.

Who knows – I may even ambush them and put them to work or give them the microphone and put them on the spot!

————————————————————

REASON #16: Real Results

The success stories from previous years attendees continue to pour in…

“…Six ideas, in particular, that we got from the speakers fit into our business model perfectly and will allow us to reach our goal…” – Dave and Heidi Perry, Pleasant Grove, UT

“… I came away with 3 pages of BIG IDEAS. Even if you sent me home on 2 pm on Day 1, I would have still felt like I got many times my money’s worth.” – Paul Partridge, Westfield, NJ

“…The Underground event was hands-down THE best event I have ever invested in. The information was so fresh and valuable…” – Carol Tuttle, Sandy, UT

“When I attended your seminar I did not know anything about Internet marketing…After I attended your seminar and when you presented your stuff on selling high priced products I had a very strong feeling that I could do something similar in my site… I owe you a lot simply because your seminar gave me the option to exercise freedom.” – A. “Vish” Vishwanath, Mumbai, India

These results are from every level of Internet experience from total newbies to experienced veterans.

————————————————————-

REASON #17: Big, bold brassy GUARANTEE…

At the end of the first day if you don’t believe what you’ve discovered is pure moneymaking gold or you decide not to stay for the whole event or you are disappointed in anyway, for whatever reason, just discretely turn in your Secret Agent gadgets and your materials to one of our staff members.

Then say the code word and you can exit with a full refund of your tuition. Plus I’ll give you $250 for your first nights hotel and expenses.

————————————————————–

REASON #18: You don’t want to be left on the sidelines again. For the past 6 years the Underground® event has sold out weeks in advance because the REAL PLAYERS, the REAL CONTENT and the REAL FUN are here each year.

————————————————————–

REASON #19: The Caliber of attendees is unequaled for Internet marketing seminars. The previous 6 years I’ve conducted attendance surveys and a full 50% of the audience earned over 6-figures or 7-figures online.

There are major Internet millionaires who always ‘sneak in’ as attendees and many have gone on to become presenters because of the high quality format. (In fact, a full 70% of attendees return year after year!)

That’s 19 reasons – but we’ll throw in one more important one…

————————————————————–

REASON #20: It’ll be FUN! As you can tell from the site – this isn’t the typical seminar. There will be lots of fun, surprises and cool stuff going on!

————————————————————–

There you have it. Trust me, it would be a huge mistake to miss out on this one-time event.

Don’t miss your chance to hear from the most elusive and secretive group of ‘Underground’ Internet achievers (and also mingle and network with them).

I suggest you get over to the site right away. Don’t dally or all the seats will be gone and you’ll be left sitting on the sidelines.

I’ll be there, too… so make sure you come up and talk to me.

Maybe we can even grab a bite and chat.

I hope to see you there!

Best,

Empower Network

AFFILIATES WANTED: Empower Network is a new breakthrough program that allows affiliates to pocket 100% commissions directly to their bank accounts. I’ve been testing it for the last 45 days, and the conversion rates are through the roof! While conversion rates are nice, are affiliates making money? THE ANSWER IS YES!

Empower Network Comp Plan

You buy the resell rights to their blogging platform and optional other products. Now, instead of downloading a zip file and letting it store on your hard drive – this is a system that you PLUG into! You insert your Paypal email and instantly, you are ready to start making sales. Here’s what I did: I signed up for Authorize.net, and plugged my Auth.net information into my new blogging platform. Then, every time I made a commission – it’s deposited into my bank account via authorize. Most people use Paypal!

Since this is a Super Affiliate Recommended product, YOU know it has to have a built-in recurring monthly factor. This passes that test. The blogging platform is $25 per month. You can buy resell rights to their coaching program for $100 per month, and you can buy the resell rights to a seminar for a one-time fee of $500. You get paid on whatever “resell rights” products you own. AND when people come to your website through your link – and purchase – you get paid for each product they purchase.

Right now, up to $625 with the monthly recurring. For me, it takes one sale per week to quit my day job. What’s YOUR number? This is a solid program that you can try out right now and instantly start making money. You can view the 23 minute video for more details here: Empower Network Video.

The second component that makes this really hot is the VIRAL factor. People will want to buy the resell rights to everything because they don’t want to miss out on those big commissions. You only get paid on the resell rights you own. AND In order to make this viral, your “commissions” have to grow without you once you get the ball rolling. Right?

Empower Network’s Viral Component –

Affiliates pass up the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and every 5th sale to the affiliate who signed them up! If that affiliate happens to be you, you get every 2nd, 4th, 6th, and every 5th Sale thereafter from the affiliates you signup. That means you can signup a few affiliates and you’ll gain commissions from the work they do! That’s brilliant.

Residual Commissions Meet Viral Component = AND you’re about to see a thunderstorm of people who want to work from home jumping on board.

If you want to create your account and bypass the Empower Network Video, then click here to signup and create your Empower Network Account.

Onwards and Upwards,

Kit Elliott

#1 – They pick up immediately and get it out of your way.

#2 – They pay you cash!

#3 – If you don’t think you can get cash – you can list on “FREE STUFF” and have 30 people climbing your fence within 30 minutes!  CRAZY!

So I have an old table. .some chairs.. three old computers.. an old fax machine.. some paintings.. etc..  (and today, I made $1100)

So I posted on Monday – by Wednesday – I have traded my crap for $1100.  NOT TOO SHABBY!

BUT today was a little different.  I received 15 emails from different email addresses but with similar sounding approaches.

Most of them start out like this:

Email #1 - Is your item still available?

—> Of course it is.  I haven’t deleted it yet.. You just found it and emailed me from it..   So yeah – all signs points to yes.

Email #2 –

Hello,
Thanks for the mail, I’m seriously interested in buying this for my son and am okay with your selling price, I’m a Petroleum Engineer and currently offshore i really want this as a surprise gift for my son so i won’t let him know anything about this until it get delivered to him. You can mail me back with your paypal email address so i can make the payment to you right now and if you don’t have an account with paypal you can set up an account today as it’s secured and reliable visit their website on www.paypal.com. Do not worry about shipping or picking up as my pick up agent will come and pick it up from you once have made the payment to you and your full address and phone number will be needed for the pickup arrangement I would love to speak with you through the phone but due to my work as a Petroleum Engineer i work mainly offshore, our phone is down on the rig right now due to bad weather, We can still communicate through the email exchange for now.I will be looking forward to read back from you real soon with the paypal email address and your full address including phone number for the pickup arrangement.

—> Sure, always some sob story about working long hours.. away from telephone lines..

There are two tricks to this:

Trick #1: Let’s say you receive a cashier’s check or even a paypal.  You deposit into your bank account, and it shows up as available balance.  This appears to have cleared the bank.

So an agent comes to your door – picks up your expensive item.

The problem – the money finally BOUNCES in your bank account leaving you with a potential negative balance and missing your expensive item!  They usually go for $2,000 or more in value.

Trick #2: Let’s say they deliver you a cashier’s check.  Sometimes they write it for $300 to $500 over the amount you’re asking..   They want you to pay the difference.  Ooops – just send me the difference – I’ll send someone.  Someone shows up to collect the $300 to $500 – and guess what?

The money BOUNCES in your bank account, and you are out $300 to $500.

Here are some sample scam emails that I received:

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me at your earliest.I am buying it for my family as a surprise to our new home that we are  planing on moving in with my family and am make this as a surprise gift which i would not let any of them to know about it until is pickup, although i am presently not within reach(on work basis) but i will arrange for it to be picked up by agent which will be coming for the pickup once  the payment  is cleared, so i don’t think i will be able to come see it myself due to security protocol of my job and phone conversation is very limited . Payment will be made via PayPal as its only payment option i can access here and would want you to do please understand me. (if you don’t have an account, PayPal is very easy, safe and secure, log on to www.PayPal.com) and you don’t need to worry about PayPal charges as i will be covering it. My only question and concern is are you the first owner and when have you been using it,? do you think is good as a surprise gift to a new home? would be happy to read back from you soon.

Thank you

The Death of Affiliate Marketing?

Some are calling it “The Death of Affiliate Marketing On Google.”

And while experience tells us that’s a pretty bold, over-the-top claim, affiliates interested in purchasing pay-per-click traffic through Google Adwords need to pay close attention to the lesson that follows.

Because sweeping changes have been taking place on Google’s ad network over the last six months that are going to forever change the face of affiliate marketing.

Affiliates with a “get-rich-quick” mentality will crash and burn.

While a handful of savvy affiliates committed to long-term business growth and success are going to enjoy increased market share.

You see Google is on a rampage of sorts right now. They’re purging their entire ad network of websites that offer visitors limited standalone value, tossing them out on their heads.

“How dare they?!?!,” you ask?

Well, keep in mind that Google is a business, plain and simple, not a philanthropic volunteer manager of all things search. And Google’s client is NOT you, the business owner, but rather the end users — the millions of people who visit their search engine to find information every day.

If Joe Public doesn’t find value in the websites that appear when they click on Google’s ads, then guess what? Joe Public will stop clicking on these ads — and Google won’t generate an income.

So no matter whether you’re interested in …

1. Ranking in Google’s organic (a.k.a. free) search results, or
2. You want to buy instant traffic from Google via Adwords

You need to step back and examine your overall site and business model from Google’s perspective.

Maturing From A Get-Rich-Quick Platform

Making your fortune with Google Adwords used to be this simple …

1. You signed up as an affiliate for a few related products
2. Built a small site to promote these products with limited content
3. Opened an Adwords account
4. Set up your ad campaign
5. Plugged in a credit card number
6. And voila…

Instant traffic and sales!

It was an easy formula to follow and an easy way to get rich.

Millions of dollars in affiliate commissions exchanged hands as the Adwords network slowly became flooded with mini affiliate sites, jammed with little more than banners, affiliate links, and a few hyped up paragraphs of sales copy.

And by 2005, Google realized they had a problem.

Their ad network was sinking under the weight of garbage websites that were providing searchers with little value.

So the sweeping changes began…

Secrets of the Seven-Figure Income Super Affiliate

Fast-forward to today and you’ll see the golden age is now over and success with Google Adwords is not nearly so easy.

Yes, there are still affiliates making their fortunes with the help of Adwords, spending $10,000+ PER DAY on clicks and generating profits of well over seven figures annually!

We see daily proof of SellHealth affiliates making their fortunes using this 500lb gorilla of PPC networks.

But these are savvy entrepreneurs who:

1. Invest considerable time and money creating a unique experience for their website visitors.
2. Carefully balance thoughtfully chosen promotions with valuable content.
3. Establish an ongoing relationship with their market via email, social networking, forums, etc.
4. Leverage the expertise of third-party Adwords gurus to hone their skills.
5. Commit to ongoing testing, never settling and never assuming what works today is going to work tomorrow.

If you think this sounds like a lot of work, you’re right. It is.

Fresh, relevant content generation has become the name of the game.

And creating ANY sort of content — whether it’s articles, blogs, videos, discussion forums, audio interviews, etc — can be time consuming and costly.

That’s why now, for the first time since the birth of Adwords, there’s a fresh, potentially lucrative opportunity for committed affiliates to push ahead and gain market share as Google strips their ad network of imposters.

Before You Spend A DIME On Google Adwords

You CAN make money with Google Adwords as an affiliate. Plain and simple. But it’s also frighteningly easy to lose your shirt if you do it WRONG.

Over the years, we’ve heard endless horror stories of site owners “turning on” their Adwords campaigns, walking away for a week, and coming back to bills in the $1000s — with NO sales to show for it!

So this lesson aims to offer you education and protection:

• Giving you an introductory overview of the steps you must take to be successful…
• While pointing you to valuable resources that will help further your education and keep you from making costly mistakes!

And the first, most important lesson, is this:

No matter whether you’re aiming to rank at the top of Google’s organic (a.k.a. “free”) search results, or you’re purchasing traffic in their Adwords network…

Google always favors RELEVANT websites with fresh, quality content!

It’s naive to think you can slap up a five-page website jammed with affiliate links, turn on Google Adwords, and then relax while the commissions roll in.

Sure. Google will happily take your money…

But expect to pay exorbitant costs per click that make the mere thought of turning a profit laughable.

If you want to:

• Earn high visibility in the network
• Attract MORE clicks to your ads
• While paying LESS per click
• And enjoying top sales conversions

You will need to commit to developing your website as a quality resource, with standalone value.

Understanding A Key Google Metric: Quality Score

In the good ol’ days, bidding for traffic was simple.

You told Google the maximum cost-per-click you were willing to pay for any single keyword. And you were able to see what “rank” your ad earned in the paid listings for this price.

Bid more, rank higher… Bid less, rank lower…

Today it’s not NEARLY this simple.

You still choose your keywords, your maximum bid for each keyword, and your total daily budget. But Google has ultimate control over your listing position and impression frequency (i.e. how often your ad appears).

And it’s all driven by a key metric that Google calls “Quality Score.”

Here’s Google’s definition of it:

“The AdWords system calculates a ‘Quality Score’ for each of your keywords. It looks at a variety of factors to measure how relevant your keyword is to your ad text and to a user’s search query. A keyword’s Quality Score updates frequently and is closely related to its performance. In general, a high Quality Score means that your keyword will trigger ads in a higher position and at a lower cost-per-click (CPC).“

Simply put, Quality Score is a measure of how closely your ad and landing page match the needs and objectives of searchers for any given keyword.

Each keyword is assigned a “Quality Score” out of 10.

A score of 0-3 out of 10 is considered POOR.
A score of 4-6 out of 10 is considered AVERAGE (room for improvement).
A score of 7+ out of 10 is GOOD/EXCELLENT.

Generally speaking, keywords with LOW quality scores are displayed less frequently and will cost you more per click. And keywords with HIGH quality scores are displayed more frequently, closer to the top of the ad listings, and can eventually cost you LESS per click.

So as you can see, it’s in your best interest to create a campaign that optimizes your Quality Score for each keyword!

To get a complete explanation of Quality Score and how it’s calculated directly from Google, you can click here now.

It All Begins With Your Keyword Research

So now that you understand the end goal is to run a campaign that earns high “Quality Scores,” we can reverse engineer the process it takes to get there.

And no big surprise, a good PPC campaign both begins and ends with keyword selection — i.e. brainstorming the list of words and phrases that potential clients are using to find your products, services, and information.

It’s a process that most affiliates find deceivingly simple…

Yet it’s EASY to overlook keywords that receive high volumes of searches… neglect keywords with limited competition… or choose the wrong keywords entirely.

Building a comprehensive keyword list will begin with a simple 20-minute pen-to-paper brainstorming session.

But it should not END there.

Because there are some fantastic research tools available that allow you to tap into metrics collected by search engines on their daily queries to see:

1. What keyword combinations your market is searching
2. How often they’re searching each individual term
3. How much competition exists for each keyword
4. Popular misspellings, plurals, abbreviations, and phrasings you may not have thought of!

Plus much more!

The two keyword selection tools we recommend you start with are:

Google Adwords Keyword Tool – FREE! https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

The obvious benefits of using Google’s keyword tool are (1) it’s free, (2) it’s Google-specific, and (3) it will save and import keywords you like into Adwords.

Personally, we’re big fans of this tool; it’s a great place to start your research. However, the drawbacks are that you aren’t offered the same brainstorming and list management tools offered by paid services.

Wordtracker — http://www.wordtracker.com

After experimenting with a variety of paid keyword research tools over the years, Wordtracker remains our standout favorite for non-techies.

It offers comprehensive tools that facilitate brainstorming and help you dig deep into the search results to locate valuable “long tail keywords” that have decent search volume but limited competition.

Plus, their keyword list management tools allow you to save multiple projects and lists for exporting into Adwords.

Wordtracker is not cheap, but they offer multiple levels of subscription and a free trial to get you started. A worthwhile investment.

Group Your Keywords Into Categories

When you brainstorm that first list of keywords, you’ll probably come up with roughly 20 variations of terms and phrases your potential clients might search before you run dry.

That’s when you’ll turn to the keyword research tools we’ve referenced above.

From there, your keyword list will explode.

Because chances are good these research tools are going to give you literally HUNDREDS of keyword variations that simply haven’t crossed your mind.

And that’s when you need to start methodically grouping your related keywords.

You won’t run the SAME ad to all of your keywords. For example, if you were promoting GenF20, our best-selling anti-aging nutritional supplement, each of these keywords would require a different ad:

• “anti aging supplement”
• “reduce wrinkles”
• “look younger”
• “improve memory”
• “feel younger more energy”

If you used the SAME ad for all of these keywords, your Quality Score would be terrible, your costs-per-click would skyrocket, and you would see pathetically low click-through rates.

Why? Because people searching these terms all have different needs.

So instead, you want to group similar keywords into categories with the plan to:

1. Write individual ads for each keyword group
2. Create individual landing pages on your site for each keyword group

This will not only help to ensure you enjoy a high Quality Score, it improves your chances of enjoying high sales conversions as well!

Build Landing Pages Specific To Each Of These Keyword Categories

Once you’ve brainstormed and categorized your list of keywords, it’s time to create individual landing pages for each keyword group.

For example, let’s say you’ve brainstormed three keyword groups for GenF20:

Keyword Category #1 – Anti-Aging Supplement

anti aging supplement
anti aging supplements
anti aging natural supplement
best anti aging supplement
anti aging dietary supplement
anti aging vitamin supplement

Keyword Category #2 – Look Younger

look younger
looking younger
look younger instantly
look 20 years younger
make yourself look younger
look five years younger
look much younger

Keyword Category #3 – Reduce Wrinkles

reduce wrinkles
how to reduce wrinkles
reducing wrinkles
reduce face wrinkles
reduce facial wrinkles
products to reduce wrinkles
products that reduce wrinkles

You could point all of your ads to the SAME destination URL – like your homepage at www.yoursite.com.

But if your site reviews a wide range of health supplements, it’s unrealistic to expect the visitor who has arrived through your “Reduce Wrinkles” ad to spend 2-5 minutes exploring your website to find info relevant to their needs.

• If they don’t see what they’re looking for within the first 10 seconds of entering your website, they’ll leave…
• You’ll have wasted good money on clicks…
• And Google will punish your naivety with a low Quality Score. (Less visibility, less traffic, higher costs-per-click!)

Instead of driving traffic from your Adwords campaigns into your homepage, you should be creating custom landing pages for each keyword category.

For example, in this case you’d create:

Example:

• An “anti-aging supplements” landing page at www.yoursite.com/antiagingsupplements
• A “look younger” landing page at www.yoursite.com/lookyounger
• A “reduce wrinkles” landing page at www.yoursite.com/reducewrinkles

Each landing page would feature product recommendations, reviews, and content geared toward someone with the very specific focus of:

“anti aging supplements”
“looking younger”
“reducing wrinkles”

And each landing page would make liberal use of the keywords that appear in that specific keyword group (without overdoing it at the risk of being penalized by Google).

This will not only improve your Quality Score… it’s a proven strategy for improving your sales conversions, too!

Set Up Your Adwords Account

Once you’ve brainstormed your keywords, categorized them, and built keyword specific landing pages, you’ll be ready to set up your Google Adwords account.

Finally!

Google makes this process easy.

Go to http://adwords.google.com and click the “Get Started” button. You’ll be prompted through their sign up process, and in less than 5 minutes you’ll have a Google Adwords account.

Once inside, though, resist the urge to set up a campaign to run in the first 15 minutes. Google DOES make setting up your first campaign VERY easy because they want you to experience the addictive rush of “turning on” the flood of traffic to your website.

But be warned…

Newbies typically overlook settings and features that REDUCE your costs and IMPROVE your overall results!!!

An extra hour or two spent reading the educational resources recommended at the end of this article will help you navigate the Adwords interface like a professional and choose the best settings to maximize your overall profits.

Write Ads for “Groups” Of Keywords

The basics of writing an Adwords ad are simple. You have:

• 25 characters available for the headline
• 35 characters for a first line of ad text
• 35 characters for a second line of ad text
• 35 characters for a display URL

This includes spaces and punctuation!

Fortunately, Google Adwords makes an ad text editor available, which makes writing and brainstorming ads in this format a snap.

The general philosophy for writing effective ads is to:

1. Feature your keywords in the headline of your ad — this is an extremely effective, proven strategy, so start by doing this!
2. In the second and third lines, feature a specific, relevant benefit your website has to offer visitors — something directly related to the reason they’re performing a search for that specific keyword!
3. Feature the same relevant keywords in your display URLs whenever possible.

And this point can’t be overemphasized: Write ads in the same language your customer is searching and connect with your prospects on their terms, reflecting back the benefits they’re actively seeking.

Here is NOT the place to introduce new concepts, features, or brand names searchers are unfamiliar with. Save that for your sales process.

Optimize Your Adwords Settings

Once you’ve written keyword-specific ads that point to keyword-specific landing pages, you’re nearly ready to turn on the campaign!

Before you do, though, here are some quick tips for settings to check:

1. Turn OFF traffic from the Content Network. Under Campaign settings >> Select Networks & Devices >> Select “Let Me Choose” — and UNCHECK the boxes next to both the “Content Network” and “Search Partners.” This will ensure you ads only appear when people do direct searches on Google — a better, safer place to start when you’re new to Adwords.
2. Choose “exact match” over “broad match” and “phrase match” for each of your keywords to start. This limits your risk by ensuring that only people who type in the EXACT keyword you’ve specified will see your ad. Once you’ve determined what exact match keywords work, you can begin testing broad and phrase match.
3. Include a list of “negative keywords” for each ad; words and phrases you don’t want the ad to appear for. (Simply add the keywords to your list with a minus sign “-” in front of them.) This is a strategy used by ALL of the most successful Adwords account managers. For example, if you sold food for pet rabbits, you might want to add “Easter Bunny” and “Easter Eggs” as negative keywords, so you don’t waste money on completely unqualified traffic.
4. Choose a keyword bid price LOWER than Google’s suggested bid price. It’s better to start LOW with your bids and daily budget, monitor the results, and increase slowly based on positive results.
5. Aim to have your ads appear within the first five listings — it’s the top eight to eleven ads that are rotated through the first five ad positions that appear on page one of Google in the search results. Your maximum bid, quality score, and click-through rate will all impact how often your ad appears.

Tips For Setting Your Daily Budget

Setting your daily budget in Adwords can be tricky.

If your website is new, you’ll need to experiment and should expect to lose money in the early days of your campaign as you figure out what you can afford to pay per click while remaining profitable.

On the other hand, if your website is established, it’s relatively easy to figure out the value of a single visitor to your website.

You calculate total profits for, say, 30 days. Divide this by the total number of visitors your website generated over this same timeframe. And you’ve got the total value of a SINGLE visitor to your website.

(Calculating this number using MORE data makes it MORE accurate.)

For example, let’s say your total commissions for the month of January were $1,500.00 — and your site generated 500 visitors during this time.

The total value of a single visitor = $1,500 divided by 500 = $3.00 per visitor.

This means you could afford to bid a maximum of $3.00 per visitor to break even.

We’ve really simplified this here; if you’ve got a big, complex site where you promote a wide variety of products, you should break this down by page, product, and keyword group.

And it’s worth noting, too, that organic traffic tends to convert sales at a higher rate than PPC traffic (people are less trusting of sites they click to via ads).

But at least this gives you a starting point!

To remain profitable, you can’t spend MORE per click than the value of a single visitor to your business!

Of course, that said, when Google asks you to set your daily budget, you need to try not to be too conservative or Google will give your ads low priority.

Tools To Help You Estimate Costs Per Click On Keywords:

Google’s Traffic Estimator Tool is supposed to help you estimate cost-per-click for any given keyword, but the results it returns are not always accurate.

Test and Track Your Results!

One of the most beautiful aspects of Adwords is that they’ve made it dead simple to test multiple ads to the SAME group of keywords.

Add as many text ads as you please, and Google will display them alternately, showing you the impressions, clicks, and clickthrough rates generated by each one. You can also control whether Google displays the ads equally, or favors the better performing ads.

To start, select “Rotate: show ads more evenly” to make sure you get accurate data for each ad.

Drive the traffic for each ad to a separate landing page. Then see which one performs better over time using Google’s Conversion Tracker, which gives you simple code to copy and paste into the thank-you page displayed after visitors take action (i.e. buy, subscribe).

We know from experience (and from writing some whopping-huge monthly commission checks)… Google Adwords can be an extremely valuable source of traffic for any affiliate business.

However, your success with it will be ultimately determined by your willingness to heed the advice of those who’ve walked before you.

It’s true that many affiliate go on to earn six- and seven-figure incomes using Adwords as their sole source of traffic.
