I rarely write about products here, but this is a GONGA. I wrote to my subscribers about this on Sunday night, because it will be available for a VERY limited time, to a VERY limited number of people. If you have ANY interest in learning how to market as an affiliate via PPC marketing, you need to take a look at this RIGHT NOW. Really - this is how SERIOUS marketers make FORTUNES. John Jonas

Today's topic is once again "virtual real estate" - a fancy term for content sites that inform visitors with useful content, and are monetized with advertising of various kinds. Actually, I'll be telling you more about this in future blog posts. Some of this is cutting edge stuff, and I'll be bringing you some cutting edge information whenever I can, so stay tuned. OK ... what are "content

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted to this blog. Alot has happened in recent months. My online business, which was skyrocketing, took a nose dive in the spring, requiring quite a bit of reorganizing to get it back on track. The whole episode was a lesson for me. I had too many eggs in one basket, and when one segment of the business dropped off, it took too big a chunk out of my

Well, for me at least, web sites are like rabbits ... they just seem to multiply. As many of you know, over the past six months or so, I've been busy revamping my work from home leads vending site. As part of that project, I also wrote an email marketing ebook. Now I've got two more related projects going ... my email marketing blog, and my latest, an email marketing forum. The purpose of

Well, with the coming of the new year, it's time for my annual review of my progress. Each year about this time, I take the time to review my expense and income records, to see where I can cut out some fat, and increase profits. Once again, I've found a number of programs that I can cut back on, or resign from altogether. I do this every year -- take a look at which, if any, membership sites I

Even though I haven't written much about it here, I'm a real fan of Online Network Marketing. Why? Well, for one thing, the internet allows people to circumvent many of the problems that have traditionally plagued network marketing and given it a bad name. Chief among those is the limitation imposed on most people by the relative smallness of their circle of friends, relatives, and business

From what I've been hearing and reading lately, one could easily think that email marketing is quickly becoming a thing of the past for legitimate online businesses. Why? Well, government regulation of unsolicited commercial email (UCE) is becoming tougher and tougher, and so are the reactions of many ISPs. Late in 2004, the FTC issued some revised interpretations of the CAN-SPAM act, which

My apologies to all of you who were following this blog. I neglected it all summer, as I was deeply immersed in my latest project -- an ebook, and two new websites. This turned out to be a *huge* project, as I bought a site and had to completely redo the infrastructure, plus outsource some programming to streamline the business end of things. I'm finally happy to announce the "Grand Re-Opening

I know, I know ... nary a post to the blog in six weeks. If you're one of my loyal readers, my apologies, but a series of personal and family emergencies, and the recent purchase of a new web business have kept my hands full. I just wanted to let you know I haven't abandoned my blog ... far from it. In fact, I'll be resuming regular posts shortly, as soon as I finish my latest ebook, and put the

Everybody wants to know how they can make money on the internet. After all, if they didn't, this blog, and the associated web site, wouldn't exist. Most people who get interested in internet marketing inevitably decide that the best thing they can do is to offer a "how to make money" product. Cummon ... unless you've been at it several years, at least, or have stumbled onto some totally unique

In going over things during tax season and assessing my online businesses, two things jumped out at me. I thought maybe others would be interested, too. We all want to make more profit, don't we? The first thing I noticed was that I had allowed my costs to go up higher than I would have liked. Is there a simpler way to increase profits than cutting costs? Not in my book, at least. I set about

I saw something the other day on the Warriors Forum that inspired me. Before I go into it, I should mention that the Warriors Forum is one of those hidden gems that I had heard about for a long time, but only recently joined. If you've never heard of it, or have just been putting it off, you ought to think about joining the Warriors. What a great program, and a great group of people! When you

Hey, I get to plug my own web sites in my blog, don't I? I just opened a new one at www.blogging-guides.com. It sells ... you guessed it ... blogging guides! I've also got the best RSS guides available, too, as well as a couple of handy software tools that will make your blogging life easier. I'll be adding some RSS tools shortly. I started the site in part to have another outlet for my own

You've probably heard recently, as I have, that some search engines give greater weight to "one-way" links to your site than they do to reciprocal links. Personally, I don't know whether this is true or not, but it seems reasonable, since links are viewed as "endorsements", and a one-way link seems more like a true endorsement than a two-way link which suggests a mutual admiration society. Some

I have to admit that I resisted using Google's AdSense program for a long time. I really can't explain why - I just did. Recently, however, I decided to experiment with it. What a pleasant surprise! It took me a few hours to put the code on all the pages of several websites that I own, but since then, all I have to do is check my stats once in a while to see how I'm doing. How am I doing?

Lately I've started getting link requests from more and more "webmasters" who want me to link to their new "site". When I take a look at it, I find a page with a menu bar on the left, linking to as many as a hundred or more pages full of links. Sometimes two hundred such pages, or so it seems. I'm guessing these "sites" are generated by some sort of automated spidering software that searches

I mentioned a few weeks back that I had finally tried out one of Stone Evans' Plug in Profit Sites. Now that I've had a few weeks to play around with it, here's an update on this great viral marketing tool. The basic site is, in and of itself, a terriffic viral marketing platform.

Lately I've been nosing around some of the more popular forums frequented by people interested in internet marketing. If you haven't done so yourself, you need to think about joining some forums. Why? Well, for one thing, you can learn a ton there for free, and you can make some good contacts with other people in the industry. Each of the forums I've visited is frequented by some big names in

Well, I've been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the sales site for my new ebook, which should be up for sale in a day or two. Can't tell you the site URL yet, as it isn't quite finished. In the meantime, just for kicks, I grabbed one of Stone Evans' portal sites to promote some affiliate programs. Talk about a simple way to start a website and a business, this is it! I ordered my

I just wrote a couple of weeks ago about "phishing" and "spoofed" websites. Since then, I've received countless emails purporting to be from various banks and credit card companies. Another one I'm getting a lot lately has something about a "tracking number" in the subject line. I also get them telling me to confirm my "recent order" with a company I never heard of. I've even gotten a few

I've just started a new directory devoted to e-marketing blogs. I'm taking this opportunity to announce it on all of my websites, and all of my blogs. The internet marketing blog directory will be limited to blogs related to around 20 topics central to making money online, online business, etc. We'll have Work at Home Moms Blogs, Online Advertising Blogs, Affiliate Marketing Blogs, Newsletter

I've been a member of SFI for about a year and a half now. I've been earning some OK commissions from it, but nothing to write home about, so far. A month or so ago, they unveiled a substantial revision to their compensation plan, and that revision just went into effect on January 1, 2005. WOW! Am I excited? Can you say wowee, zowee??? They came up with this thing called a "T-Net".

In case you haven't heard, "phishing" involves sending out an email that encourages someone to reply with personal information, usually of a financial nature. The recipient is then sent to a spoofed website (i.e., a knockoff intended to look like the real website) and asked to submit that information. Instead of it going to the bank or credit card company the respondent thinks it is going to,

For many people, the term Network Marketing sends chills up their spine. They've heard all the horror stories, been buttonholed numerous times by a friend or family member, or spent countless time and money trying without success to do it themselves. Maybe they've noticed the similarity between the payment structure of a network marketing company and a pyramid scheme. Maybe they've lost a ton
