ez Income Makers Newsletter:
September 19, 2008
Published by Mitch Hopkins
Welcome Everyone.
Hope all is well your way.
*(Update) Well, this is getting to you later than expected.
I have not had time to do the example for you on the reviewsPRESS
WordPress Theme Blog site I'm putting up. It's mentioned in
Featured article section. See what tomorrow brings for time.
I've not double checked everything here so hope it all works,
I didn't spell too many things wrong, and my rambling make sense.
I suppose I should just delay the whole thing, do the "always
put out a perfect newsletter" thing, but I'm very tired, been
a long day, and we're moving on.
But on another note, mother's surgery went fine, although with
an alergic reaction to medication. Joy.
-----
This and future newsletters may appear a bit different than
what you may have been used to.
I am cutting back my time spent on the Giveaways for one.
I'll list them more as they open for members to download
gifts rather than for contributors.
Too many of them running all at one time, the interest in
them as members have dropped way down and I want to
spend more time on building my business. Spending my time
building up their list and business doesn't do my mine any
good. Besides, if they send out notices for a new Giveaway
from their list off the last one, where do we stand in
getting enough other contributors to even have our gift
shown?
I've said for quite a while this old site, ezincomemakers.com
is badly in need of upgrading, and I've changed what I have
been working on twice now without getting it done.
It will get done, but I have plans beyond this simple site
that may benefit you and I more in the future. Not by selling
to you, I'll still present the best offers with the highest
shot of being profitable for you, but as I find things that
work for me, I'll pass along the info to you.
For example, one site I put up, a Review site of 3 products
and an (ugly, poorly done by me that needs fixing) video has
been working better than expected. So I suggest you try your
hand at it. I'm using PPC with Adwords, the only way to really
get traffic to your site FAST. It's not the only way, classifieds
etc. also work, but much slower. PPC can be used to quickly
see if what you have is worthwhile by converting into sales
or needs tweeking. Try Web2.0 sites as well, though I'm not
a tweeter nor plan to be. But I did use Youtube to place the
video on. Not hard at all, really.
* If you are into Web 2.0 sites, the first bonus download
may interest you, as well as the first product in the
Current Running Quality Products/Programs section below.
Review sites do work, and for any niche you are in. I am now
working on 2 others, and will let you know when finished.
More for giving you examples of what I set up that's working
than trying to get you to buy.
I remember seeing a similar web template form product for
sale not long ago, this is not from those templates, and I
can not remember what it was called or who was selling it.
I looked but didn't find it. Any one know what I'm talking
about? Let me know so I can tell the others.
What ever it's called, if you find it, it would work to do
and look about the same as what I have put up. You'd have to
add in a spot for your video, or just your picture would do
but otherwise, it serves the same purpose.
Back? Told you, it's awful, needs fixing so as not to look
like a cheap foreign film. I've not enough emotion in it and
well, it proves something is better than nothing as I've made
sales with it as it is. Meaning you can too, if you just take
the time to DO IT and get started.
Anyway, more on Review Sites further down.
So, what I'm saying is, I may be sending out a few more
messages in between the 2 week period this newsletter has
been going out in the past and at times there may be more
'skipped' weeks. My plan is to stick with every 2 weeks as
much as possible.
And the total content of this may be shorter one time,
longer the next.
In the Featured Article section, I placed a tool for Wordpress
blogs that I am now using. It sets up a review blog/site for you
and could be a great tool to set up your own review site.
I can give you a 25% discount on it, but can't give away free.
It's only $10.00, so a very inexpensive tool.
P.S. It may not be working right away, if not, check it out
later this weekend. See, I'll be spending the day with my
mother in the hospital Friday the 19th as she is having an
operation. One reason this issue will be a bit shortend.
There is only so much time, and mine keeps getting shorter
with things I need to do other than play on the computer.
Since it is already Thursday night, chances are it may have
to wait until Sat. But I'll try since I don't like sending you
to bad info/links.
Oh, there is no special sale for mom's operation. I can't stand
those marketers who do that sort of thing. Tells me they are
NOT making the money they seem to project they are. I don't
need help celebrating any birthdays, fixing my old car, sending
kids to Disney World, paying my taxes, etc., etc.
What B.S.! Why should I follow someone like that who can't pay
their bills? And they are going to teach me how to make money?
It's crap, and if you follow them, that's what you are going to get!
If you just want to send me some money, so I can go on a real
fancy fishing trip, ask, I'll tell you where to send it, OK?

How To Get 10% Conversion Rates By Selling Products
You Did Not Create.
This is about a technique that works for internet
marketing products, Clickbank ebooks, etc.
It will work in any niche as long as you can find a
good product to promote.
It even shows you a few places where to find products.
Here is a Tip > Check to see if it is marketed through
Adwords, as that means it probably sells, or someone
wouldn't be paying to advertise it with PPC.
Since in this issue I've sort of made Review sites
as a main topic, this report fits right in.
The report gives you 2 review outlines you can use
as a guide in adding your info. Like a fill-in-the-blanks
step by step outline.
Although, the second outline example I really don't
recommend as it uses a Negative approach to promote
your chosen product. A 'scam review' as they are
called.
They do work, I just don't care to do things that way,
but many people do and with good results. All I can say
is try it, you've nothing to lose.
Just note that some affiliate programs don't allow
negative advertising of their product and normally
will say so somewhere during your signup session.
How this all works out is by setting up 2 Blogger
accounts. One a Positive review, one a Negative,
and pretty much guides you on using keywords,
promotion and all you need to know to get started.
Best of all, you can do it all for free.
Where as, the other type of Review sites I talk about
are set up with Wordpress on a hosting account, not
the free setup because you need to create links to
all the Reviews you make with many different products
and to seperate them by niches. Just create a new
folder for each product and link to it. Plus a website
allows you to upload sales pages, graphics and an
easy way to collect visitor information or sign up to
your own ezine/newsletter, give a free ebook as an
incentive or sign up for any type of autoresponder
follow-ups you want.
Oh, and as far as using one website, make sure it has
a generic name, something general like ProductReviews.com
or InsidersReviews.com or NicheProductsReviewd.com.
Something that can cover different topics and niches and
still keep the content relevant to the site name so that
Search Engines will give you more traffic.
And don't worry about subdomains, folders work just fine
and make things easier for you. I don't know of any issues
regarding the Search Engines as viewing them differently.
There you have it, read this short report, put it to use and
try this out. Who knows, it could make you a few bucks.
It's free, setting it up is free, so what more do you want?

Found! A great new marketing tool that's guaranteed
to attract more sales.
It's called TalkStream, and it's from Implix, the industry's
web marketing giant behind top services like GetResponse and
WebsiteWizard.
TalkStream is an Audio and Video streaming tool that merges
21st century technology with your existing marketing to add
a whole new dimension to it. By using Audio and Video, you
can grab your visitors' interest, and immediately focus their
attention on your key information.
If you are looking for your next great marketing boon...
THIS IS IT! TalkStream is THE way to stand out among the
crowd of text based websites out there today:
Online marketing with Audio and Video is a proven strategy
that has been perfected by giants in the automotive, movie
and various other industries. But integrating multimedia with
a website has always been difficult for the small enterprise
or home based business without a dedicated web infrastructure
and designers.
But now, TalkStream makes marketing with Audio and Video a
breeze for everyone. It was designed to be easy and versatile
to record and upload new audio and video. And with a simple
copy & paste arrangement, you can publish those streams right
into your existing marketing -- be that by a website, email,
and even podcasts!
It's NOT your fault that your online marketing efforts aren't
turning out like you want ...yet.
The truth is ...we've been misled by the so-called experts!
You see, 99% of the 'professional' online marketers' techniques
are DEAD WRONG!
In fact, many of them will make your rankings and income drop
faster than a rock thrown off the roof of a 30 story building!
For example, most so-called marketers will tell you to spend
your own money on ads or Pay Per Click to sell your products.
What they don't tell you is that when Google decides your site
isn't what they are looking for, they slap you down to the Adwords
cellar, home of the $2+ clicks!
But everybody knows that you HAVE to pay for advertising to be
successful online, right?
WRONG...
The real trick is to leverage all the great free content sites
and blogging sites available online, to build a sales funnel and
a presence as an expert in any market you choose.
WARNING: If you follow this, be prepared to have your friends
STALKING you for the recipe of how you did it.
But let me ask you a question, if they're not telling you this,
what else are they hiding from you?
Plenty. They don't want you to know the right way to set yourself
up for good because if they did, you'd never have to buy another
product from them again!
That little tip was only a tiny fraction of what's being exposed
here:
And that's why this kid Jay Deiboldt is taking so much heat from
other Internet marketers right now ...for revealing secrets like
the one above.
But that was nothing! When they find out how Jay really blows the
whistle in Google Slapper, he'll probably get all kinds of pressure
to stop selling it.
And that's why this controversial profit siphoning system could be
taken off the market at any minute.
You know how powerful niche marketing is, but if you don't want to
pay for advertising or traffic, who's going to buy what you're selling?
Well, this kid figured out the answer - and you can see what
everyone's talking about here:
It's vitally important that you increase the number of websites
that link to your website. Doing this helps you steadily increase
traffic and generate more sales. However, if you are to be successful,
you must be sure that your website is good enough for someone to
link to you.
So, how do you do that?
There is an old cliche that always rings true in the Internet world,
"Content is king". And this is absolutely spot on.
You may be wondering how your content is related to our current
topic of building link building, but there is a perfectly sound
connection.
It is important that you have quality content on your website or
other webmasters will most likely not want to trade links.
Your website also needs to be informative and interesting, as this
will increase the chance of getting a link from someone else.
Remember, links to your website are the building blocks to success,
so it's worth the effort to acquire them.
Now, let's go over a small checklist of websites that would be
good candidates for good link building:
* Websites with quality, related content.
* Websites that have higher PageRank than you currently have.
* Online directories like Yahoo and other business directories.
* Web 2.0 websites like Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com.
It's no secret that Google (and other search engines) will list
you higher in the search results for having a lot of quality
inbound links. So, you should really concentrate on building quality
links, which will do more for you than tinkering with Alt tags or
any other onsite optimization.
The only downside is that building link popularity is not always
easy to do. It tends to be a bit boring and tedious. Plus, it
usually takes a big chunk of your time, which is probably why most
people don't like to do it.
Luckily for you, there is a solution!
A brand new search engine optimization tool just came out called SEO Equalizer.
Not only is this software super easy to use, but it is also
extremely affordable. I do suggest you pop over to the website
and read all about it...
Slash your Adwords costs and flood your site with laser focused
traffic.
One of the most popular ways to drive traffic to your web site is
to use Google Adwords because it sends targeted and effective traffic.
The problem is, you can go broke with PPC if you don't know whether
your ads are bringing in buyers or just lookers.
Experts have long told advertisers, especially those new to using
Adwords, to avoid using the ineffective and costly content network
ads - those Search network ads showing up in the sponsored links
portion of the search engine. You can end up paying a fortune for
those impressions without ever gettig a sale.
With the Secret Methods revealed in this easy to follow Video Series, , you can learn how to spend less and make more
sales from your ads.
Would earning an extra $900 a month make a BIG difference in
your life?
Sure, it'd be great, but it probably wouldn't have a huge
impact on your mortgage, retirement savings, orthodontist
bills, kids' college fund, or the piles of bills that are
cluttering up your desk, right?
But what if you could earn that $900 a month by working just
5-8 hours?
And what if, by using the same strategies you used to make
that first $900, you could quickly start to DOUBLE it... and
double it again... and again...
... until you're making potentially thousands a month. Does
*that* change the picture?
I was just reading a case study on Derek Gehl's website about
a 15-year-old girl who's actually doing this: making $900 a
month on the Internet while working no more than 8 hours.
She obviously has NO business training or experience, and at
just 15, she's clearly pretty short on "life" experience, too,
but still, she's given up babysitting for good, thanks to the
success she's having with her website.
And while she's not exactly getting wealthy (yet!), she's
using the exact SAME strategies that hundreds of other
successful Internet entrepreneurs have used to make MUCH
more (sometimes millions of dollars) with their own Internet
businesses.
I really recommend you check out her case study on Derek's
site!
In it, he actually walks you through the exact, step-by-step
system she, and thousands of his other clients, are using to
achieve these remarkable results with their Internet businesses.

The concept of niche marketing is to market to a tightly
focused group of people, instead of mass marketing to an
entire market or industry.
Because niche marketing is so focused, the competition
isn’t as fierce as a broader market.
For Example: Weight loss is a large market with lots of
competition and is not considered a niche.
A niche in weight loss would be natural diets and low calorie
dieting.
As you can see, the above niches are smaller markets within
a larger one.
Niche marketing is a fantastic way to market for success.
Once you have a niche, you need to market successfully.
How you ask?
By learning from successful marketers with proven techniques
in email marketing, advertising, running a successful business
and writing your niche product.
Here are just a few of the techniques you will learn:
* Email Marketing - MRR
Get Past Spam Filters.
Use personalization more profitably and increase response.
Everything there is to know to run a successful email campaign.
Things you must do and avoid.
* Advertising - MRR
Learn proven techniques on how to use what other marketers
have declared to be the most awful forms of advertising
imaginable with great success.
* Running Your Business
Free advertising techniques
How to close sales
Building profitable email marketing lists
Time management
* Writing Your Niche Product - MRR
Choose a proven subject
Choose a topic for your book
Most productive way to find great content
As you can see, this is a great information package to set
you on your way to a successful niche marketing campaign.
Not only do you get the above training but you also receive
3 quality niche products as a bonus so you can start right away.
The price does increase so don't pay more than you have to.
Plus, you can earn 100% commissions on this product,
and 50% on all other products.
Before you purchase any product you have an interest in,
check this site first to see if it's listed there. It could
save you a lot of cash. There are hundreds of products
listed.
Plus, join the site for free and list your own Hot $7.00
offers. All of the products are set up for you to make a
profit by reselling them.
* There is, (isn't there always), an upgrade that gets you up to 2
newly released product review sites every month already completed for
you.
Don't know if you saw this new product yet or not, but Review sites
are very popular and highly profitable. They are catching on and
springing up everywhere.
It's something I've been spending my time on, creating more niche sites
using review sites and moving away from the typical Internet Marketing
only niche. One I've had for a couple of months now uses a 3 product
page and has been converting better than expected. It is not from a
certain product recently being sold, but you could use that one or
build your own as well.
I decided to go with Adobe Dreamweaver to build and maintain my sites
however it's not neccessary you do. There are plenty of free website
templates you can get by just doing a search in Google or Yahoo. Most
GOOD web host have editors to change the sites with or search for
other free html editors. I can't really say which is the best to use
because each has it's own way of doing things and you have to pick
one that would suit your needs and your level of experience.
It's why in the last newsletter mentioning learning html will benefit
you greatly.
What is neccessary is that you get started "doing something" to get
yourself into the online game if you haven't yet, and whatever niche
you pick out to start with, be open minded enough to try others.
Creating the reviews of the products you want to promote should most
assuredly be written by you. That doesn't mean spending hours and hours
re-inveting everything. It means changing up some of the text, adding in
and deleting parts of the content. Like changing a PLR product by using
what's there but the important part is to make your sales content stand
out and be different from eveyone else's.
That serves 2 purposes.
1. You eliminate any duplicate content issues with other marketers using
the same product. You'll be making the search engines happier and get a
higher ranking making your site/ad show ahead of others. Real good if
you use PPC marketing with Adwords or Yahoo, etc. Those are not the
only Pay Per Click advertising sites you should use. Try some others.
What you want to accomplish is getting traffic right away, seeing if your content works and you get any sales, then tweeking it a bit. Once you see
it converts to sales, then if you wish stop your PPC ads to save money,
then put your ads into the free advertising market, classifieds and such.
Make a few sales that way, tweek it again and turn your PPC ad back on
for a short time, just a few days is all you need to track any sales.
Sounds complicated, but it really is simple. You don't need a big pile
of money to do this. You are after some profits. Besides, as you know if
you have been online very long, new products show up daily, old ones are
gone after a short time. After a month of promoting, no sales, drop it.
In the meantime, you'll be checking out new products to promote, seeing
how it ranks in clickbank, setting it up and running that promotion.
You will want several going all the time. It gives your site content,
your visitors other pages to view, and you'll be creating that multiple
income stream you've heard tell about.
Keep the best selling products, drop the duds. Try changing placement
of the graphics, if you can. Make it appear different even though it's
still the same product. Everyday products you buy now change the lable,
box cover and even the colors. Heck, Corn Flakes cereal boxes change
but it's still Corn Flakes inside. The big boys always make tiny little
changes because they know just one tiny little change can make big profits.
2. With your ad written in your own words, you can eliminate any sloppy ad copy. In other words, by checking it over you can be sure the sentences
are complete, finished and make sense. Words are spelled correct and for
a tip: shorten the paragraphs!
You see, most people 'skim' read, and will skip long paragraphs, where
they may miss your best selling point.
You want 2 or 3 sentences per paragraph only, any longer and the eye
won't catch all you are trying to say. The brain won't catch your magic
keywords and the sale will be lost before they get to the end of your
page. You know, where your BUY link is.
Adding your own content makes it sound different when read, it won't
be the same identical ad your visitor has already read, you can point
out different points the product will do for the reader others haven't
and for another tip: compare it to other similar products. Tell what
it does better, why your reader should buy this item and buy it from you.
Guess what, another tip: when compring other like products, take note
of the ad copy for that one. Combine some of the text if it fits, and
you'll make the chore of writing your content easier. Don't copy word
for word, but there is no law against copying ideas.
However you go ahead with these ideas of using Review Sites, by getting
the above product for only $10.00, using the free report from the download
section further up, creating your own or finding a template to use, it's
well worth taking a shot at doing these. People search the internet for
information, so give it to them.
Using PPC they will find you. Give them something to remeber you and
they may return to see what else you have to show them. That's why I
say try other niches as well as your primary niche. That visitor you
got once will be looking for other products again someday. If you don't
have any, well.....too bad. I'll get them.
This isn't overnight fortune making. It takes time as does everything
else. But this will get you a business you can build on, build up and it's
the type of information millions of internet users are looking for. They
want someone (you) to make it easy for them to get that information.
They want to buy, so sell them what they want.
What else are you doing online that's working so well you can't carry
all the money you are making? If what you ARE doing is making money,
then great! But doing this gives you a plan, something that isn't going
to go away ever, and there is plenty of room for everyone in every nich market. Sure beats trying to make your own products. All the work is
done, you are just refining it. No graphics to make, as an affiliate
no hassles in delivery or refunds (most times anyway) and all you have
to do is a bit of promoting like you do anyway.
