Private Label blabla, what’s all the fuzz about?

5th July 2006

Are you asking yourself that question?

Basics first. When you receive Private Label Rights to something, you receive the rights to change it and brand it as your own work. So if you received PLR to an ebook, you could just put yourself as the author and start getting it out there. If you receive PLR to a set of articles, you could simply add your own resource box and start posting them to the article sites.

Lately you might have noticed a whole bunch of PLR-membership sites popping up everywhere. For a monthly fee (some very high, others just moderately high) you get a fresh set of PLR articles and/or books and/or sourcecodes each and every month.

If you want to get in to either AdSense-publishing, or get your own ebooks out there, joining a PLR-membership site can be a good idea. Rewrite parts of the articles, and publish them to your sites. Instant content. Or bunch together a set of articles, make some smooth transitions and brush up the grammar. Instant ebook. I think you get the idea, right?

These memberships normally go for between $45 and $150 per month. There are alternatives though. I’m going to tell you about one site, where memberships are $24.95 per month, and the best part is, you can run that site. It can be yours. Your very own Private Label Article site, where all monthly $24.95 payments are yours.

Sounds intriguing, right? Must be expensive, right? Not so.

First of all, you get hosting for your membership site, you get an article publishing site of your own, you get 450 fresh new PLR articles to give your members every month, you get to set your own prices if you wish (to some degree), you can bring in affiliates, set up your own products to push to your members and more. You even get a bunch of bonuses to give to your members.

The articles that come out every month are written by a college class of writers. These guys and gals know what they’re doing, and their work is being graded. The topics for the articles are varying, but great research go into getting the right topics every month.

The system is a little rough around the edges and the infrastructure isn’t completely finished, but on the other hand you can get in right now, in pre-launch phase, for a very reasonable monthly fee. When I say “very reasonable”, I really mean it too. They’re not going to demand your first-born and your wife. Not even your shirt.

>>Go check it out right now<<, and remember that memberships are capped. Now is the time to get in, as places are filling up rapidly.

Adsense Videos - Just hype

7th May 2006

I bought Michael Cheney’s Adsense-Videos, and boy what a disappointment.

First of all, the videos are in streaming format, which is good for the author, so you can’t download them and watch them from your harddisk.

Second - there’s really nothing new in it. Basic knowledge. “Apply for Adsense” - “Look, Google has a hotmap”, “The 336×280 format works well for me”, “If you put images above or next to your ads you can get higher CTR”. Yada yada yada.

Third - most of the bonuses are streaming videos as well.

Fourth - I’m still being spammed about it by some late “marketers”. Hey guys, wake up. Everybody and their grandmothers has already seen this. You can’t start marketing a week after launch when the price goes up.

I’m thinking about asking for a refund, looking through the videos again and again to see if there’s anything new in them. But no. Not even on the third or fourth do I find anything new, and valuable, in these videos.

Disappointed. Me. Yep.

Goes to show: don’t believe the hype. The information in these videos are available for free, there are no secret, fantastic tactics in them. Plus - Michael has a really annoying voice. He’s too excited when he speaks, he stutters. Annoying. Use a manuscript for pete’s sake.

The click-protect script and our next product should be available in a couple of weeks. I’ve had some personal issues (gf in hospital) to attend to, so I haven’t really had a lot of time.

$1000 in 48 hours? Are you kidding me?

24th January 2006

A review of “Desperate for Money” by Shawn Casey and others.

The idea seemed ridiculous, a book about some high-rollers telling us “average joes” how to make some quick bucks, but the sales-letter was good, so as usual, i bought the damn thing.

It wasn’t bad. Not bad at all.

The idea is this:
A gang of armed and masked desperados burst into your home, holds your family hostage under gun-point and gives you a computer with internet-connection and 48 hours to get $1000 or they will kill your family

The “gurus’s” that participated are: Marc and Terry Goldman, Bob Silber, Alan Bechtold, Joe Vitale, Jeff West, Bob Wilson, Jason Mangrum, Jim Fleck and Jeff Paul, Kennon Fort, Eric Van Der Hope, Joshua Shafran, Elizabeth D Nichols, Michael T Glaspie and last, but not least, Stone Evans.

The idea is that they were not allowed to use their current knowledge or network of jv-partners or colleagues, nor their current lists. They had to do it from scratch. And they did.

So, is it any good? Any worth-while ideas? Anything you can put to use?

Well, I’ll be honest, some of the ideas in this book are really good, and others are a bit out there. There are a few I wouldn’t mind doing myself, if I wasn’t so dang lazy. Others I wouldn’t even consider, but maybe you would.

All in all, it’s a good product, and it’s not overpriced. I like it. It’s a good read, and someday, if the lazy-bug stops biting me, I’m gonna try some of the tactics in this book.

Go check it out.

A short review and a little demo

22nd January 2006

Found and bought a little info-product about adsense the other day. I know, I know, another one of those…. This one has a different angle though. I think there’s something to it. Basically it’s about combining adwords (using high-traffic low-cost keywords) and adsense (for lower-traffic higher paying keywords) and affiliate products to get revenue. Then comes the interesting part. When revenue and traffic starts dropping, you stop your adwords-campaign and …. Well, this is where you find out for yourself :)

In order for you to do that, I’m going to give you a little demonstration of myAffiliateLinks

The first link, simple re-direct, no cloak

The second link, cloaked re-direct

The third link, exit-page, no cloak

The Fourth link, exit-pake, cloaked re-direct

I think that about shows you what this script does :D

Anyways, I’m off to bed, I’ll post here and on a couple of forums when the pre-launch offer is ready :)
