As you can see, I have added a new section: “Cool Tools”.

The idea is to make it easier to find free Internet Marketing tools that are easy to use and helps you doing a better job. There are already too many free e-books, tools and other products available everywhere online, and it is confusing to say the least.

I believe many IM beginners drop out after being overwhelmed by all the free information. Information Overload is the first major challenge that they must overcome.

If you have any suggestions for new links in this section, don’t hesitate to send me a message and I will have a look at it. Consider it a free back-link from my PR3 blog

Links I won’t accept:

• PTC, PTR and other “get paid to” programs.
• Matrix and high yield investment schemes.
• Affiliate links.
• Anything porn or sex – related.
• Link exchanges.

I will continue adding links to free and useful IM products meanwhile. Enjoy!

Cool Tools

Internet Marketing can be a brutal game with many casualties. Fortunately, there are ways to learn and earn at the same time, and it doesn’t even have to be that difficult. I committed several mistakes while learning the basics, I also learned more about what works and what doesn’t. There is no reason why you should repeat my mistakes, though. Keep reading to find out how, by combining the power of two and Internet Marketing, you can start earning money almost immediately.

When I joined my first affiliate programs, I did everything wrong: I joined under lazy uplines, I used Traffic Exchange websites and free safe-lists to promote it, yielding poor results. One of the lessons I learned from the start, was to find the right sponsor or mentor. I found mine and signed up under her. I did mistakes still, especially one that a lot of fresh marketers still do …

My biggest mistake was promoting GDI (Global Domains International). Even though it is a solid affiliate company rewarding their users for their efforts, you have to both work smart and hard to achieve good results with it. With no results and no sign-ups, other than those from my sponsor, my frustration was mounting. I was told that, writing articles works well for traffic, and as my endeavor into the minefields of PPC advertising left me flat broke, I wrote my first article ever, on ACME People Search and GDI, and submitted it to a directory. With the help of a few back-links, my article climbed to the top-three positions on Google’s first page in few days and pulled in several new referrals in my ACME People Search account, one of whom also signed up in my GDI downline. I realized by then that, submitting articles to promote ACME People Search works much better than promoting GDI alone.

In addition to the new sign-ups, I earned $25 with that article, which is still sending traffic to my sign-up page. Imagine what you can achieve with 10 articles, 20, 50 … This is powerful!

Where to start when writing articles: Research the keywords you want to use for your articles, write a new unique article, publish it on your website or blog and index it. Use an article spinner: Easy Article Rewriter (free) and spin five to ten different versions of your article, submit to the top article directories using your anchor keyword (i.e. “How to sail a boat”). Build new back-links to your articles from websites, blogs, forum signatures e.t.c. on a regular basis, and your links will receive free “laser-targeted” traffic when done right. For more SEO information and tools, I suggest that you sign up for free with SEO Book.

About ACME People Search:

People Search is free to join and has multiple income streams. Tissa Godavitarne, the creator of the People Search engine, adds $125 to your People Search affiliate account when you complete the three steps in your account. To avoid any misunderstandings: Tissa’s money is a reward for those with a genuine desire to earn money with ACME People Search, and it requires that you sign up for a paid affiliate program in step two. Those who are not serious about making money online should not bother in the first place, but it is perfect for those who are. I recommend that you choose GDI in step Two, because at only $10/mo for a membership it is affordable, and it is much easier to build your GDI downline using ACME People Search. Setting up your People Search engine is an easy and straight-forward process.

Tissa is a strong believer in teaching others how to educate themselves, and ACME People Search together with GDI, is one of the most rewarding affiliate programs today, with its multiple income streams. Both have their own support forums. Tissa’s ACME forum offers a nice bonus for the most helpful members, and he puts emphasis on helping others. With ACME People Search and GDI, or as I like to call it: “The power of two and Internet Marketing”, you can learn and earn from the beginning and at no risk. Watch the video below for an introduction by Tissa:

Tissa the Man

I need a break from all the CSS mistakes I did when re-writing a horribly done sales page (it consisted of 1,500+ lines of lame 90’s code. It now contains around 400 lines of code, and the graphics files are optimized by 50% as well) Phew!

I must admit, I can be slow sometimes. I had to join GDI two times before I found a sponsor who cared enough about me to want to help me get started. My sponsor told me how to promote GDI and had me subscribe to her newsletter. All of that was great, but I just didn’t have any success. Like, any at all. On top of already being frustrated, I was attacked by brutal savages in a forum when promoting GDI playing by the rules.

Okay, they were not that brutal.. and it was only one person who snarled at me.. but I was at that point psyched out and what happened next caught me by surprise: I burned out completely and stopped everyhing I was doing for about two months. This was a result of not having a clear aim and purpose, only jumping from one target to the next and trying to make money somewhere in-between.

When I recovered I slowly gained my interest in IM again. My GDI sponsor had helped with sending me traffic in the beginning, and I had a couple of active referrals in my downline, so it was not that bad. But, as I started promoting it again, it was right back to square one, with no results. Aargh! I tried ClixSense’s GDI promotion, which basically is just another useless link rotator, same kind of neat trick all the useless GDI Super-Uber-Ultra-Powerful Downline-builder teams use. You know those with websites from 2005′ish, that’s never been updated since, but newbies who got caught in their headlight roam the web desperately trying to score a referral. They fail and spend the rest of eternity haunting IM forums, moaning and whining about how much GDI sucks, but that is another story, one that I don’t feel like writing.

So, what to do? Promoting GDI sucks, because everybody already knows about it!

The solution is so simple, and many of the most successful GDI affiliates have used it as their main weapon for years now, but there are still a lot of clueless GDI newbies out there, and I used to be one of them until recently. So, what’s the secret sauce? It is painfully obvious really, but here goes:

Promote ACME People Search instead of GDI! People Search is free to join, and you will be adviced to go through a relatively simple 3 – step sign-up process, which includes signing up with → GDI ←. I am not sure about the conversion rate, however recruiting new referrals for ACME People Search is pretty easy. If 1 out of 10 of your People Search referrals sign up with GDI every week, that means 1 new GDI referral every week. Help and educate your GDI referrals. Some of them can become super-affiliates and earn a lot of money for you. Also, your referrals are only human, they can get frustrated just like you and me when nothing seems to work. Encourage them, give them some fresh tips and ideas, be a friend. It’s not just about the money, but helping others as well.

On a side note: I received a new GDI sign-up today, someone who went straight through the whole 3-step process at ACME People Search and then jumped into my GDI downline. I love people with that kind of positive attitude, she will receive a gift when I am done writing this.

Back to ACME People Search. See below what Tissa pays for your efforts:

If a People Search referral maintains step 1 for at least 30 days, Tissa pays you $5.

If the referral stays at step 2 for minimum 45 days, Tissa will pay you $10 more.

If your People Search referral maintains step 3 for at least 65 days, the boss will pay you another $15.

Yes, Tissa pays you up to $30 for every single referral. Do not expect all of your referrals to stay at step 3 (only the first month at step 3 is free, and includes 100 targeted leads), but the more you learn about SEO and PPC traffic, the more money you will earn with Tissa’s ACME People Search & GDI. Those two put together can give your affiliate income a sweet boost, and it is pretty newbie-friendly too. I am a newbie myself, and still learning, always learning.

Even though Tissa is considered a guru, he is not like the other gurus. He talks and walks like any normal guy with an average income, and he likes to help people like you and me. Tissa tells the truth when he says: How much money you can earn online depends on how much you desire it.

With my recent period of burning out still fresh in mind, I decided to try this article-thing. I wrote all of two articles. Any native English-speaking person who can write, can squeeze out perhaps 6 – 7 articles in an hour. Still being new with article writing, I spend on average 5-8 hours each article, but the more you write the more efficient you get. After finishing two articles, I submitted it at GoArticles and used Angelas Backlinks to build back-links, then pinged a few social websites. Only one of my articles mentioned ACME People Search and GDI. Google bumped it to the top three positions on the first page within three days (GoArticles is amazing for SERP), and after a little while I had 5 new sign-ups in my ACME People Search, one of whom signed up in my GDI downline as well.

That was with ONE article, submitted by a newbie. Imagine what you can do with 10 articles.. 20 articles… 50 articles! Write articles, submit it, build back-links and ping social websites, and when you put enough effort into this, you will see new referrals in your ACME People Search every day, and sooner or later you will get 5+ GDI sign-ups every week, which means $400 extra from GDI every month. Use some of that money on paid back-linking services and link juice, and spend at least $100 on a PPC campaign that you continue tweaking every couple of days to make sure it yields best possible results.

This is a rather slow process. Do not expect a major income boost in a week or two, but if you have read any of my previous articles, you already know about the Bum Marketing Method, with which you can start with absolutely nothing and build an income from there. Internet is a wonderful thing, isn’t it!

If you have not joined ACME People Search already, feel free to use my link below. Remember: ACME People Search can be 100% free of cost, you only have to pay for the GDI membership at only $10 per month. ACME People Search gives you multiple income streams with its search engine alone, which installs easily on your GDI domain.

I wanted to share a story about the honest and hard-working man Gary. Struggling to manage the down-payments on the house, Gary was desperate to find a way to make more money. On his way home from work, an ad board caught his attention, it said “Stop daydreaming and start doing it!”. With the adboard’s slogan still fresh in mind, Gary went online on his wife’s computer, visited the mighty Google and anxiously typed in the search query “How to make money online”. Among the search results, an interesting e-book caught his attention. Being a desperate customer, Gary immediately purchased the $98 e-book and started reading.

The e-book, written by some Internet Marketing guru using the oh so clever pen name “Rich B. Astard”, claimed that Gary would be making money in practically no time at all, as long as he followed the guru’s steps. A couple of weeks later, Gary has gotten nowhere. He didn’t even finish reading the e-book because it was overwhelming, with too much information too soon. Next he got busy downloading several hundred e-books on the same topic, and burned out.

After reading about GoArticles in the Warrior Forum, I wanted to see if it was true that it can kick your links all the way up on the first page in Google. It actually did; An article I wrote and submitted to GoArticles, using highly competitive keywords, reached the #1 spot on the first page in Google after less than three days after I had submitted my article. It only lasted for a few days, but it was interesting none the less, and I want to show you how to do it.

You will be submitting to GoArticles, which is a PR 6 article directory. Everybody can submit their articles there and have it published immediately.

Follow these easy steps:

1. Research a few different niches (i.e. pet training, weight loss).
2. Decide which key words to use, i.e. “3 easy ways to outrun a stalker”.
3. Write the article using 250-550 words. Make it catchy and easy to read.
4. Add suitable affiliate links to a product or service, perhaps an e-book at ClickBank.
5. Register a free user account and submit your article to GoArticles.

If you did everything right, your keywords (“3 easy ways to outrun a stalker”) could very well be on the first page in Google in the next few days.

Like I said, this is only a temporary solution. If you want long term results, build a website or establish a blog like this and post fresh and unique content to it. For now, try writing that article and submit it to GoArticles, then track your results and see what happens.
