Naked PLR Review
October 24, 2008 by Liz Tomey
Filed under Product Reviews
I recently signed up for the NakedPLR membership site created by Jeremy Burns the undisputed King of PLR.
This review is going to break down exactly what the site is all about and what you might expect when you check out the inside (if you decide to do so).
www.ThisKicksButt.com/NakedPLR
First off, we’ll start with a description of exactly what the NakedPLR site really is. It’s tagged as a site that gives you 4-5 new private label rights products each and every month. These are eBooks on niches that have been researched and are hot topics.
One thing I found that was ridiculous was the price. In a time where “quality” private label rights products cost $50-$70 EACH on the low end, NakedPLR comes in at a stunningly low $47 a month for ALL 5 products which is refreshing!
(only $1 to start and $19.97 a month to anyone that gets in during their initial launch phase at www.ThisKicksButt.com/NakedPLR )
Here’s what in the site with a more specific break down of each section…
NakedPLR’s
This is the section that you’ll go to in order to get access to the current months private label rights products. Each product comes with two documents called the Product Analysis and Fast Action Ideas documents.
These documents contain copy starters to help you create an awesome sales letter for your new eBook as well as keywords and competitive pay per click analysis so that you can start bidding on keywords to get traffic to your website quickly.
You’ll also find market research, potential titles for your product and much more.
Also included are 25 articles for each of the products that you can use to further customize your book, use for article marketing or use for creating reports or other traffic generating materials.
PLR Training
This section is definitely the price of the website. Most membership sites that say that they are going to offer training fall so short of delivering on the promise that it isn’t even funny.
Believe me, I’m a member of several monthly websites and the offering as far as fresh training is sparse.
So far, there have been incredible amounts of training resources and tools added to the member’s area of NakedPLR that are of extremely high value. There are over a half dozen manuals and quick start guides that show you everything from how to customize your books each month all the way to making more money from them, multiplying profits and getting cheaper pay per click traffic.
The information included in this training section easily could have been sold as a multiple hundred dollar physical course but Jeremy has included it all in the members area.
I honestly feel that this one section alone is worth every penny of the membership fee each month.
Site Builder
This section gives you everything that you need to build a hot selling website that you can use to start selling your products.
You get a complete course that takes you through the entire process of using the two documents that come with each product to craft your own sales letter step by step, without writing anything from scratch!
This course is around 100 meaty pages long and could easily be a $97 sales letter customization course all by itself.
Best of all, you also get a sales letter template that aids you in the process with more guidance and the formatting already done for you!
You see people selling sales letter software that doesn’t offer the results this template does for upwards of $200 or more but it’s included in your NakedPLR membership.
Bonus PLR’s
This section is loaded with over a dozen products with rights that you can use to start selling right away for immediate profits.
Most of these products come complete with sales letters and graphics and are ready to roll.
The cool thing is that you can use some of the tactics that you’ve learned in the training material provided in the training section and further customize these existing products.
This allows you to create a product fast that’s totally unique to you!
Chances are, you’ve probably seen some vendors selling these products that you’re going to get for free *with* rights.
Download them, use the information in them to profit from and also use them to sell for a profit.
Affiliate Cash
Obviously this section gives you information on promoting NakedPLR through the affiliate program.
This section is 100% different from any of the other affiliate programs that you may have been exposed to online.
In addition to information on how to get your affiliate links, you actually get a course on how to start promoting your link and generating traffic to it.
The marketing lession given here is great even if you do not use your new knowledge to promote NakedPLR.
There are even web 2.0 tactics covered that you’ve seen in many paid courses as well as tools such as press releases, articles and review for your blogs.
Best of all, even if you don’t have a website you can use this information to start generating traffic to your NakedPLR affiliate URL and start generating recurring income for yourself using completely free methods!
You could even use the tactics that you learn in the affiliate marketing training to apply to all of your NakedPLR products you get every month for fast (and free) traffic.
As you can probably tell, I am very happy with all of the goodies that I receive as a NakedPLR member.
Of course, the star is the 4-5 products you get every month with private label rights enabling you to start 4-5 new niche businesses each month but the training, bonus products, tools and affiliate training are also awesome.
Overall, I give the NakedPLR membership two thumbs up and I recommend that you take a look at grabbing your own membership. You definitely won’t regret it.
If you are lucky you will still find Jeremy’s $1.00 trial available. I know the trial moves to $147 soons, so hurry over to www.ThisKicksButt.com/NakedPLR right now…
Have a super day-

Automatic Niche Profits Review
October 24, 2008 by Liz Tomey
Filed under Product Reviews
As most of my subscribers and customers will attest, I don’t just recommend Internet marketing products to line my pockets.
It’s very important to me that I provide you with objective reviews so that you can truly make the best decision for you and for your business.
Sure, I do make money selling Internet marketing products as an affiliate.
But… I will only endorse something and put my name behind it if I am completely confident that the product lives up to, and/or exceeds, its stated values.
So what does that mean to you? It means I review Internet marketing products before or after they are released to the public, and I share my honest opinion with my customers so they can make an informed decision.
This week’s review is on a Private Label Rights membership site called Automatic Niche Profits.
When I was first asked to take a look at this site I was frankly a bit weary…because there are so many Private Label Rights sites that I figured I was in for more of the same old same old.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a very clean “back office” members area. The products are very neatly organized and easy to locate.
I was even more pleasantly surprised when I took a look at product number one (I won’t disclose the product name to protect the rights of current and future members).
The main product was digital…an ebook. That in and of itself is not extraordinary…but what is extraordinary was the quality.
You see, I read that ebook and I was incredibly impressed with the way it was written. If I were using this for myself I would have no problem putting my name on it and calling it my own.
But that was just the start.
I then took a look at the sales letter that was included in the product #1 package, and what to my surprise, I found it to be very persuasive and compelling.
Things were going a little too well, so I thought I would take a listen to the ebook audio’s and watch the flash video that was included.
Again, incredibly…they were extremely well done and I would have no concerns whatsoever about putting my name to them.
Additionally, this is a facet to PLR that I have not found anywhere else. In all the PLR membership sites I’ve either been a member of, or received insider access to, this is the ONLY site that has offered cutting edge tools like audio and video.
The last component of this product package that I reviewed was the graphics. While copy is always more important than graphics when it comes to marketing online…you DO need high quality graphics if you want to make it very far.
Using a poor ebook cover or any other graphic is akin to asking for poor conversions.
So, I opened up each of the graphics files and I could not believe how incredible they were. I do not know who the designer is, but I would hire him/her in a heartbeat.
There were more pieces to this package, like articles, and a big long keyword report…but these are the pieces that I really wanted to see.
These are the cornerstones to profitable products. And these cornerstones were sharp…very sharp.
It appears that Automatic Niche Profits provides 2 product sets every month, all with the same bells and whistles as the first one I looked at…
So, I decided to keep nosing around to see if my experience was the same with this one. And, it was.
All high quality, cutting edge stuff.
Here’s a brief list of everything included with the membership every month…
1) 2 Professionally Written eBooks
2) 2 Audio/Video Packages
3) 400 Niche Articles
4) 2 Professionally Written Sales Pages And Download Pages
5) 2 Sets Of Customizable Graphics And Blog Design
6) 2 Keyword Reports
And you get 2 of these brand new niche product packages every month.
There is almost no downside to this membership. In fact, it looks as close to plug and play profits as possible. But, it might be priced a tad higher than some of the other sites, at $47 per month.
As I mentioned before there are a whole battalion of bad PLR membership sites out there today.
If I was paying less for a bad membership with low quality products it would’t do me any good because it would be harder to sell those products…in reality those are a waste of money.
One or two sales of any of the products included in Automatic Niche Profits would pay for the membership.
And frankly…if you’re incapable of one or two sales of this stuff, then you may want to reconsider this business as a whole.
That brings me to one other possible downside to this membership site. While they are providing top quality products and essentially handing you a turnkey business, you still need to sell those products in order to profit.
You’ll need to take action and put the marketing system into motion in order to make something of your business. Without that, you’re just spinning your wheels.
The bottom line is that Automatic Niche Profits is a 5 star membership site. The quality is unparalleled, and the cutting edge audio’s and videos make selling these products a no-brainer in any market.
If in-demand, niche PLR products interests you, then I’d recommend getting over to Automatic Niche Profits soon at www.ThisKicksButt.com/NicheProfits
This is a limited membership and there are only 500 total spots that will be sold.
Best of luck with your new PLR riches, and keep an eye out for my next product review.
Till Then…
Wishing You Success,

What You Need On Your Affiliate Webpage In Order To Make Money From The Internet
October 22, 2008 by Liz Tomey
Filed under Affiliate Marketing
If you have the right stuff on your webpage, you can make money from the internet as an affiliate marketer. Your webpage must be able to convert visitors into customers, and current customers into returning customers.
As an affiliate, you need web pages that include videos. Videos are known to pull people in, but it has to be created with the right idea in mind. Making money from the internet requires the affiliate to create a unique webpage and not like the status quo. Your video web pages need to attract attention to those you are trying to reach.
If you need web pages that will convert easily, one of the first things you must do is to make sure you’re using the right keywords in that particular niche. When you create your video webpage, make sure the video is short. So many people have a short attention span that if the length of the video is more than three minutes, they may possibly click away. No one wants to sit at a site and watch a video drag on.
Another thing you want to do is to make sure whatever you’re offering on your webpage is made clear to the visitors and customers. That includes when you’re making the video. Make sure your information on the video is brief and to the point.
You should also have one call to action. For instance, if you want them to get more information after looking at the video, then tell them what to do. Let them know whether to click on a link or wait until the webpage redirects itself. You can also use arrows to point them in the right direction.
Your affiliate webpage should not be jumbled with a lot of text. Work with your webpage to limit the amount of text that is on there. People can get confused having to read a lot of text. If you are looking to make money from the internet as an affiliate, your webpage must be as simple as possible.
Also, create your video to where it will attract people to sign up at your website. The video is basically an invitation for them to sign up. Make sure that you’re using colors that coordinate with each other and use bullets where needed. The simpler your website looks, the better chance you have of getting more people to visit and eventually become customers. More customers mean you would make more money from the internet.

5 Costly Viral Ebook Mistakes (Or, How To Make Viral Ebooks Work For You)
October 20, 2008 by Liz Tomey
Filed under Internet Marketing
If I had only known, I wouldn’t have made these mistakes. But I did.
For such a small word, “if” sure does cause a lot of problems, doesn’t it?
“If I had not turned off the alarm clock, I wouldn’t have overslept.”
“If I had paid attention to what my wife said, I would have not shrunk my 100% cotton shirt three sizes too small.”
“If I would have taken the time to fuel up, my car wouldn’t have run out of gas out here in the middle of nowhere.”
“If I had charged up the battery on my mobile phone, then I would be able to call AAA to bring me some gas out here in the middle of nowhere!”
See what I mean?
“If” is such a tiny word.
But it’s like dynamite. It packs a lot of punch.
For me, as I teach (and learn myself!) about viral eBooks, the phrase is this:
“If I had only known, I wouldn’t have made these mistakes.”
You see, I made MANY costly mistakes in my early viral eBooks. Mistakes that are *literally* costing me thousands of dollars in profits right now.
And there is nothing I can do to change them.
Once you set a viral eBook into motion, it’s impossible to get it back and make corrections to things ya screwed up on.
Man, if I could go back into time and change some things.
I have learned the hard way some things you DON’T want to do with viral ebooks.
That’s what we’re going to take a look at here.
I’ve made ‘em all.
You don’t have to.
Don’t do this…
1. Never use any link inside the content that you can’t control.
I learned the hard way that you should always use redirect links from your own domain when putting any kind of link inside your ebook.
For example: most people insert their affiliate link for an affiliate offer inside the ebook that they have put together. The one that was given to them by the affiliate program owner.
Instead, you want to link to a page at your site that refreshes and redirects the visitor to your assigned affiliate link. Something like this… www.yourdomain.com/brainstorm.html
This is important so you can CHANGE the link anytime you want to in the future.
For example: If I decided to no longer use ClickBank to handle my affiliate program and went with a different affiliate tracking link, what happens to the thousands of copies of your viral eBook that are in place with that old affiliate link in there?
They become obsolete, unusable and unprofitable.
Or, suppose you are linking to a dating service that goes out of business? What now?
Your links are toast. They are worthless to you.
With a redirect link you can easily adjust the target page and send the traffic to a different dating service, or to a page at your site. With a redirect link the changes are made at YOUR SITE, which you remain in control of regardless of what happens with the products and services that you linked to.
Even if you change hosts or servers, you still remain in control.
You don’t have to make changes to all of those eBooks — which would be impossible to do — you simply make a 2 minute change at your site.
I can’t tell you how many dead links are in some of my earlier ebooks that continue to give me headaches as people email me saying, “Jimmy, you’ve got a dead link here … can you give the correct link?”
It creates a lot of extra work in answering emails and certainly is throwing away potential profit for the countless people who never bother to ask for an updated link.
So, never use any link inside the content that you can’t control.
Always use redirect links.
2. Another thing is you want to avoid using dated information by providing too specific details.
Affiliate program A may not be offering that free 30 day trial offer very much longer.
The price for admission to that special site may not always be $29.95.
That site that was “just released last week” may have become an all-time classic by the time Bob reads your viral ebook two years after it was released.
You want to make certain that you stay away from information that is too specific that can easily become irrelevant.
Again, I get emails all the time griping about inconsistent prices because I put a price for the Profits Vault membership into one of my early viral ebooks and that price is no longer valid.
Hasn’t been for almost two years.
I’ve even gotten ugly emails accusing me of fraud and false advertising, with threats to turn me in to the attorney general and all kinds of nonsense.
So, be careful that you don’t date your viral ebook if you can avoid it.
3. Another no-no is to never put any information into your ebook that you don’t want all over the world.
These things travel folks and they can be global in a matter of days and certainly over time you can easily have a worldwide audience.
I made the mistake of putting my cell phone number in one of my earlier ebooks because everyone claimed that if I didn’t have my contact information in there, no one would buy from me… which is nonsense I might add.
Anyway, I started getting all kinds of calls at all hours of the day.
What was 3:00 in the afternoon in the Philippines was 3:00 in the morning where I live.
So, it was a nuisance.
Kind of a funny story came out of it.
I disconnected that number, of course, and got a new one. That was almost 2 years ago.
Well, about a month or so ago I had a lady email me and she was hopping mad.
Apparently, she had ordered a cellular phone and got my old number… and folks were still calling!
She told me that she was getting calls from England and all over looking for me and they were running her cellular bill up with charges.
She wanted me to do something about it and all I could do was tell her “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do”
With viral marketing, it’s pretty much unstoppable, which is why it is so effective. It keeps spreading and it’s hard to stop the growth once it gets going.
So, never put anything into your ebook that you don’t want the world to know and use.
4. Another thing is this … always have your carriers do the branding.
You want to automate the process as much as possible.
Again, I learned the hard way.
Early on, before there were all of these branding tools available, I hand customized each ebook.
And as they began to spread, the customization requests grew to be way too much for me to handle. I was spending most of my day putting together these customized viral ebooks for each new person that requested a copy.
That had to change and so now I use branding tools and branding instructions. I give them to anyone who wants to customize the ebook and I let THEM do the work.
Keeps me out of the loop completely.
So, unless you have some specific reason to do it yourself, place that responsibility onto the ones who want to distribute the viral ebooks.
5. One more thing I want to share. Always launch new browser windows with your links in your ebooks.
Whenever you link to a site within your viral eBook content, always remember to code that link to launch a new browser window when the reader clicks on it. I learned this the hard way. There are many scripts involved in the order-taking process at online credit card processing sites.
And many of those have caused glitches in the eBook due to the software the eBook was created with and it crashes the eBook, making it impossible to order.
So, what happens is this.
You do your job well. The content is great. You’ve got a hungry customer waiting to buy.
They click on a recommended product link. They arrive at the site still inside your eBook window. They click on the order link and the entire thing shuts down. I mean completely shuts down the ebook and website altogether.
And, in some cases, it even crashes the computer. You just lost a customer because two sets of code didn’t like each other.
That has happened to me on MANY different occasions in some of my early ebooks.
Now, all of my links launch new browser windows OUTSIDE of the ebook if you click on a link inside the ebook. All you need to do is insert a simple line of code into your links inside the eBook. The code looks like this…
Target=”Resource Window”
Now when someone clicks on your link, a new browser window will launch outside of the eBook itself before taking them to the website. Now, you’re safe. EVERY link in your eBook should have this code. You can thank me later.
(NOTE: IF you are using a PDF maker for your ebooks, you should be fine with your links.)
Viral eBooks are tremendous tools. But, there are also some pitfalls associated with them.
I’ve just shared five of the mistakes that I have made.
There is just no way of measuring how much profit I have lost over the years due to those errors.
There wasn’t a manual available to tell me how to do it. History hadn’t really been recorded at that time to tell me what to stay away from and what to make sure I did in order to protect myself from problems.
So, you’re getting something that I didn’t have.
Aren’t ya happy?
In all seriousness, don’t make the mistakes that I made.
History doesn’t need to repeat itself on this one.

Getting Started With Residual Income
October 5, 2008 by Liz Tomey
Filed under Residual Income
Residual Income is another term for “recurring” income. Basically there are three types of income streams that you may have coming into your business.
If you do a one-time job, sale or perform a contract, you get paid once and the income stops there. If you do a normal 9 to 5 job, you will continue to get paid as long you continue to work for your employer-often called a linear income. This is the type of income that the majority of workers “enjoy.” Even if you are a neurosurgeon, lawyer or engineer, you are only paid as long as you continue working. You stop working and the bank account dwindles.
The third type of income is the residual or recurring income where you are paid even after you have stopped working. For example, let’s say that you wrote a book. You had to go through the tedious task of researching, writing and getting a publisher. However, after that initial investment, and as long as your book continues to sell, you will continue to receive royalty checks.
A majority of affluent people created wealth through a residual income stream. Take singer Michael Jackson for example; he still continues to receive royalty from the sales of his records made decades ago. He can even repackage the same oldies and sell them to generate new income. He doesn’t have to spend time in the studio to record new songs in order to have the cash keep flowing in. This is the most ideal situation of the three. We would all like to work once and get paid over and over again. That is the power of residual income!
The majority of professionals that enjoy this type of income belong to the creative fields such as actors, writers, singers, and inventors. The field of Network Marketing or Multi-level Marketing (MLM) has also been instrumental over the past 60 years or so to make the residual income concept very popular and attractive.
Here, you can build a network of distributors, referred to as your ‘downline’, and generate income outside of your own immediate effort. Working for an MLM company is one of the most feasible places where you can generate residual cash, and so we will now take a look at the secrets to being a successful network marketer.
There are other many many many different things you can do to create a residual income, and this part of the blog will be dedicated to all things related to residual income!
What Is Internet Marketing?
October 5, 2008 by Liz Tomey
Filed under Internet Marketing
This part of the blog is going to be basically a “hodge podge” of information about Internet marketing.
All the way from tips and tricks to strategies that we are using to make more sales, build our lists, and anything else that helps make us more money in our business.
Since this is the first post, I wanted to talk a little bit about what Internet marketing is…
The following is from Wikipedia.org
Internet marketing, also referred to as web marketing, online marketing, Internet advertising, or eMarketing, is the marketing of products or services over the Internet.
The Internet has brought many unique benefits to marketing, one of which being lower costs for the distribution of information and media to a global audience. The interactive nature of Internet marketing, both in terms of providing instant response and eliciting responses, is a unique quality of the medium. Internet marketing is sometimes considered to have a broader scope because it refers to digital media such as the Internet, e-mail, and wireless media; however, Internet marketing also includes management of digital customer data and electronic customer relationship management (ECRM) systems.
Internet marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the Internet, including design, development, advertising, and sales. Internet marketing does not simply entail building or promoting a website, nor does it mean placing a banner ad on another website. Effective Internet marketing requires a comprehensive strategy that synergizes a given company’s business model and sales goals with its website function and appearance, focusing on its target market through proper choice of advertising type, media, and design.
Internet marketing also refers to the placement of media along different stages of the customer engagement cycle through search engine marketing (SEM), search engine optimization (SEO), banner ads on specific websites, e-mail marketing, and Web 2.0 strategies. In 2008 The New York Times working with comScore published an initial estimate to quantify the user data collected by large Internet-based companies. Counting four types of interactions with company websites in addition to the hits from advertisements served from advertising networks, the authors found the potential for collecting upward of 2,500 pieces of data on average per user per month.[1]
This is a pretty good explanation, and you can read more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_marketing
Now to me, Internet marketing is the means in which I sell my digital products.
Basically I create a product with Internet marketing strategies, and use different Internet marketing strategies to sell it.. Strategies like….
Online market research (This helps me determine what product to create.)
Copywriting (To create a good sales page to sell my product from, and ads to entice people to visit my sales page)
Traffic strategies (There are hundreds of ways to drive traffic. Some of the strategies I use are: article marketing, affiliate marketing, forum marketing, web 2.0 strategies, and more.)
So now you have a little bit of an understanding of Internet marketing. Keep watching this category for more great information!

Liz’s Getting Started Online Interview
October 5, 2008 by Liz Tomey
Filed under Getting Started Online
The following interview was an interview I did on getting started online. I wanted to post it here, to help those of you just getting started online.
Let me know what you think….
1. Please tell us a little bit about yourself (background, how you got started online, etc — and here you can also include any site(s) you own)
I started online in 1994 at the age of 15. I built websites for friends and family at first and then started building them for money when I was about 17. At age 19, I started my own direct mail business. I offered advertising services and how to products to the “opportunity seeker” crowd. It took me two years to really start making money with it. I turned it into a full time business.
In November of 2004, I saw that I could do the same thing online that I was already successfully doing offline. I trained my husband to run my direct mail business, and started my own Internet marketing business. I used everything I had learned from my offline business, and within one year had double my income.
Presently I am focusing on creating products and services for Internet marketers and creating other streams of income like, Adsense, and small niche products.
My main Internet marketing site is at www.TomeyBingMarketing.com
2. Some Internet marketing beginners forget that we were ALL newbies at one
point. How did you learn about marketing to get you to the point of making
your first few dollars online? (e.g., did you learn by trial and error? Did you learn by reading forums? Did you buy a particular product that made everything click? Did you have amentor? Etc…
This is a really good question. I’ll give you my exact system I used to learn all I know about Internet marketing.
I started by creating Internet marketing categories on my hard drive (using folders). I had probably 20 different categories like Affiliate Marketing, List Building, Blogging, RSS Feeds, Viral Marketing, Creating Information Products, and so on.
I’d then start searching the Internet for free products, and articles to put into these categories. It took me a couple of months (and a few of those massive give away sites like the 117ChristmasGifts.com promotion), and I had tons of information in all of my category folders.
I started with the first folder and read everything in that category. I took notes and pulled out everything I felt like was good information. I then took what I had learned and wrote kind of like a “book report” on it. After finishing the “book report”, I had refreshed my mind and really learned about that category.
I did this for each and every category. It did take me a couple of months, but I learned so much. Now that I have a great understanding of many things related to Internet marketing, I can make good decisions about products I buy to further my learning.
When I buy the product, I immediately read it and then file it away in an appropriate category on my hard drive.
Now here’s what I did, and it’s where so many newbies fail… I took action!!
All those book reports I bought, I took and added information to, polished them all up, had graphics made for them, wrote sales letters for them, and started selling them. All that free information I had read, I turned into money, and it only took me a few months. I haven’t looked back since then.
Knowledge is power, and if you don’t believe that, you’ll lose money in this business.
The key is to learn and take action. Learn and take action. Learn and take action. Just keep doing it over and over again!
3. What assumption(s) did you make as a beginner that perhaps hindered your
progress?
I assumed that it would be easy to make money in the Internet marketing niche. Don’t assume this, or you will assume yourself right out of business. It takes A LOT of work to get started making money online.
I tell my clients:
1. You must be willing to spend some money on your business.
2. You must have the desire to educate yourself. This means you will have to research both free and paid information.
3. You must have the ability to learn and then to take action. Taking action is very important to your success. If you don’t take action you will not have any success.
4. You must have the discipline to be consistent. If you don’t you will fail. Plain and simple.
5. You must have the patience to keep going after what you want no matter what. Giving up is NOT an option.
6. You MUST have a plan.
4. We all have “Ah ha!” moments where suddenly things start to fall into
place and can actually change our course for the better. Please describe an
“ah ha” moment / revelation that positively impacted your business.
(for example: you realized the importance of a list…or you realized the
importance of back-end selling…or…???)
I was lucky because my “Ah ha!” moment came very early in my online career.
Creating products and selling them is the easiest and quickest money out there. I realized this when I created my first ebook on affiliate marketing. I simply read everything I could about affiliate marketing. I tested everything I had learned. The things that worked I wrote my ebook on and showed people how they could do the same thing. I still make money hand over fist each and every time I create a product. Offering resale rights to your products also makes them hot sellers.
Since I learned this early on, I started make money early on in my career. Many people goes years trying this and that. If you simply create a product and put it out there using proven marketing methods (writing articles, setting up an affiliate program, link in your signature lines, etc.) you WILL make money. As you get better at it, you will make even more money. The key is taking action and doing it.
5. What advice would you give someone who’s made a few bucks online, but
wants to take it to the next level of making their living online?
Hands down the number one way to take your business to the next level is to start your own affiliate program. There are several options in starting your own affiliate program, but I wont go into that here. I have a product called Easy Affiliate Profits that really goes in depth on the technical part of starting your own affiliate program.
Once you get your affiliate program set up, there are a few things you need to do.
First you need to have an autoresponder that all your affiliates are automatically signed up to. You should create several messages that introduce your affiliates to your products. Tell them how their customers will benefit, how much they will be paid, and any sales stats that you have on the product. Make sure that you put your personality into your emails so your affiliates become comfortable with you. You basically have to build a relationship with them automatically through your autoresponder.
Second you need to create 3-5 (or more) products that your affiliates can give away to their subscribers and website visitors that promote one or more of your products or services.
For instance if I have a few products on blogging. I would write a short ebook about it. Within my ebook I would make reference to the blogging products that I offer. Once I finish my ebook, I would make it brandable so that my affiliates can give it away and get paid when their customers by through their affiliate links.
Not only does this make your affiliate and you money, but it also gives you more exposure. It puts your name out there more and more, and getting you and your business the most exposure is really the only way to take your business to the next level.

As an affiliate, you know that one of the ways to make money from the internet is to use videos on your site. Using videos is one of the most common ways that they can get people to their site. Before long, you will be known as one of the top affiliate marketers.
When you decided to create a video, there are some things that you should know:
* Since visitors and customers have a relatively short attention span, have a short video on your website, no more than two or three minutes long. Some affiliate marketers get so excited they forget about the duration of the video. When creating videos, focus on the main point.
* As an affiliate marketer, you must brand your videos. Branding is how you set yourself apart from others when you’re marketing to visitors. The art of branding includes how you make your logo, the name of your company and whatever products you’re offering to your visitors and customers as an affiliate. Branding is another way that you can make money from the internet.
* You should also have content that is relative to what you video is promoting. There should be enough information for the person to make a decision as to whether or not they’re interested. Make sure to have your contact information on the website in case they want to e-mail you.
* When promoting affiliate products, emphasize more of the benefits. People want to know how the products will benefit them. You can also add in features, but the benefits should outweigh them.
* See if you can get some testimonials for the products you’re promoting as an affiliate. Testimonials can prove to be an asset when people are visiting your site. Testimonials can persuade people to get a certain product.
Branding videos as an affiliate is a great way to spread the word about your site. You can be a beginner and still learn how to create and brand one. It’s not necessary to have extensive training in this, unless you want to pursue a career in it.
Creating a video is simple and easy. It doesn’t take long to do. Branded videos can provide marketability and credibility to an affiliate who is looking to make money from the internet. Affiliate marketers will be able to make profits by making their videos stand out.
