Just check it out here, watch te video and see the power of this pluing. Do I recommend it? Yes, absolutely!

Just ran into something that could be very interesting…

Steven Iser - $300.000/month It’s coming from Steve Iser. He claims to be teaching truly new refreshing (affiliate) marketing methods within his new course Alpha Affiliates.

Most important, he talks about new (and maybe) forgotten or underappriciated traffic methods, that only a few really good top super affiliates (which he calls the super creative and innovative “alpha affiliates”) are using right now to bank 80% of the market, leaving those left 20% to fish for to the other affilites, whitch btw use methods that are sort of outdated according to him.

I’m just checking this out myself and let you know what I think about it.

Cheers,

Rob.

In fact, it already IS huge. So if you want to be on board as some kind of early bird, then jump into this almost untapped opportunity. Think about it, it is almost like having a second chance to jump on board in the late ’90’s with pay per click advertising as an affiliate marketer. The potential is huge, because there are more people on the planet having a cellphone (5 billion) than having a regular pc internet connection (approx. 1.8 billion). But to be honest, I think only the smartphones are worthwile to be marketing to and that would be 51 million at the moment. But this number will grow fast.

There are great courses you can buy on the net, to get started with mobile marketing. Think of people like Howie Schwartz for instance, always delivers fantastic content, but can be a bit expensive if you are just starting. But I was an apprentice of Howie and I can tell you, if you can afford him, it’s really worth your money. Then there’s Mack Michaels from Maverick Coaching with Cell Phone Cash. I bought this course about six months ago and I am still a member. They deliver good content, not great, but good and are very affordable (about $25 per month). The only downside I expereinced was that you didn’t get all the different modules at once. I had to wait 7 weeks before I could complete the last module. Imagine that you want to start asap, but you have to study with the brakes on….. I know, it’s personal, but I just don’t like to wait.

Recently I discovered the greatest course on mobile marketing, considering the costs involved.

Adam Horwitz - Mobile Monopoly This course comes from Adam Horwitz, it’s called Mobile Monopoly. He’s also very affordable and overdelivers instantly! You can start to learn about mobile marketing for approx 77 bucks, one time payment. Of course, there are upsells (proven campaigns, an outsourcing course and a membership to a piece of software for making mobile optimized squeeze pages). I bought them all, just to test them and so far I can only say it’s worth the money. If you want to know how much these upsells cost, you can contact me. On top of that, you get a lot of bonusses, some you won’t check out, but his personal hand made bonusses, video courses, are very worthwhile to watch.

If you are interested, here’s the link… And by the way, yes, it’s an affiliate link. You can always look it up for yourself and bypass my link if you don’t feel comfortable clicking it. The most important thing is however that you seriously consider going into this mobile marketing opportunity while it’s still hot and new. Btw, I’m only giving Mobile Monopoly’s link out of the 3 courses mentioned above, because this one has the best value for the buck in my opinion. So here it is: Mobile Monopoly.

No kidding, this mobile marketing course is highly recommended by me, seriously!

Cheers,

Robbie.

… from Ian Ross. I am going to buy it later today. When I have some results to share, I’ll let you guys know.

 Talk to you soon,

 Robbie.

PS. Here’s the link to the product I’m about to test: Turbo Profit Sniper. And yes, it’s an affiliate link… :-)

I am very serious about this. Really, do NOT buy Satellite Direct Tv if you want to run it on a Mac! I tested it and it just doesn’t work, period.

A few days ago, I purchased a license of this software and I was really looking forward watching Tv on my MacBook. It should work according to the specs, but it didn’t. I tried to solve the problem with their support, but the answers I got were crap.

Yes, they answered quickly, mostly within 24 hours, but the quality of their answers was just terrible. I was supposed to test the exact same things (which didn’t work) again and again.

Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.

Yes, and that is exactly what they were trying to do in my case. Apparently, they didn’t know how to deal with problems with a Mac computer, so I asked Clickbank for a refund.

By the way, I didn’t test the software on a Windows Pc, so I can’t say anything about that.

Cheers,

Robbie.

Satellite Direct Tv should be a lot of fun…. You could watch over 3500 channels on your pc or mac for a one time fee.

I just purchased it and I will let you guys know what I think of this piece of software.

If you’re interested, then here’s the link: Satellite Direct Tv.

Benefits of Outsourcing

Now that you have a clearer understanding of the concept of outsourcing, you might wonder why companies would go to the trouble of outsourcing certain tasks. Outsourcing is popular because there are a great deal of benefits to the companies who outsource the work. Some of the benefits include:

* Reduced labor costs
* Increased workforce
* Greater flexibility

One of the main reasons companies resort to outsourcing is it can significantly reduce costs. In the case of overseas outsourcing of manufacturing tasks, costs can be cut dramatically because there are lower wages and costs associated with managing and maintaining the manufacturing plants. However, companies also enjoy a cost savings when they outsource tasks domestically. Reduction of labor costs is the primary source of savings in this case. Independent contractors hired on a contract basis for the purpose of completing specific tasks are often not given benefits such as social security, Medicare and workers’ compensation.

Another benefit to outsourcing is enjoying a larger workforce without actually hiring additional employees. Companies who maintain networking relationships with qualified individuals have more opportunities open to them because they are able to rely on these individuals to assist them if they acquire large or complicated projects.

Finally, outsourcing gives a company a great deal of flexibility. Companies who have a significant workload and backlog of work where the majority of the employees are highly utilized might be hesitant to compete for new work because they do not have a great deal of employee availability. However, with a network of individuals to rely on if the need to outsource arises, the company has more flexibility in pursuing new work.

Domestic Outsourcing

Domestic outsourcing refers to outsourcing where both the primary company and the independent contractor or subsidiary are located in the same country. One of the main reasons for outsourcing is to reduce costs but it is not always necessary to outsource work overseas to reduce costs. Cost savings will be discussed in greater detail in the section on the benefits of outsourcing but essentially outsourcing results in a savings as a result of a reduction of labor costs.

Overseas Outsourcing

Overseas outsourcing is the type of outsourcing most people already understand. This is where large corporations such as Nike, and even some smaller companies, employ manufacturing plants overseas in third world countries to upsize their profits. This is significant because their costs including wages, materials and building lease would be considerably higher in the United States than they are in these other countries.

Outsourcing is a term which has received a great deal of attention lately, especially in affiliate marketing.

Despite the increasing trend in companies relying on outsourcing there are still some who do not clearly understand what is meant by the term outsourcing. This article will examine some of the key elements of outsourcing to help the reader develop a better understanding of the concept of outsourcing.

Hi Guys,

This is a message for all of you who are still waiting to get their final payment by Affiliate Junktion (and asking me about this). No worries, I got paid a few days ago. Keep the faith!

The only thing that is dissapointing (again), is the amount of declined leads, despite of all the program changes made by Affiliate Junktion since October 2008.

Only 50% got approved in my case, mostly because of the huge amount of unsubscribers since the announcement of the deactivation of the Affiliate Junktion program.

Cheers,

Rob.

Finally, a product from Michael Jones that is affordable.

Most of his products cost over $1000, but this one not even close to that. It looks that he’s delivering a good quality product for a nice price. It’s a first sale for $77 (a high quality Ebook) and a backend sale of $97 and it’s called “The Adword Manifesto”.

This is how Michael Jones describes/promotes The Adwords Manifesto:

“Discover the Secrets to Six Figure Profits Every Month and Thousands+ Visotors Each Day”
“You are about to learn my exact system for making over $100,000 every single month from Google Adwords”

The Adwords Manifesto opens its doors tomorrow Tuesday 02/17/09 - 8:00 AM PST.

And yes, it’s an affiliate link :-)

Unbelievable, just like that, all my Clickbank hoplinks are working just fine again in IE 7. That looks like good news, BUT….

This worries me also. If your hoplinks are not working properly anymore, for whatever reason, then you’re losing money. And most of the time, you won’t even know it. Those clicks on them (if doing ppc - pay per click marketing) do cost you money.

The only thing you can do about it, is regularly checking your hoplinks.

Hi Everyone,

Just found out that at this moment, all my Clickbank Hoplinks don’t work in Internet Explorer 7 (btw, operating system = windows vista ultimate).

In Firefox they work just fine! So, this means that I’m probably losing money advertising on Clickbank products right now.

Every IE 7 user who searches for product x and sees my ad or article for product x and clicks on it, will NOT see the merchant’s site. I just submitted a ticket to clickbank. Within 2 biz days they will respond. In the meanwhile, I’ll pause my Clickbank campaigns.

ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM?

Cheers,

Rob.

Since Affiliate Junktion recently deactivated their affiliate program, one of my blogreaders brought up an interesting case (thank you Chirag :-). I was asked to review a similar affiliate program like Affiliate Junktion, just to give my opinion if this program was worth joining. It’s called: fivestaraffiliate.com.

Well, for starters, let’s kick the door in, so you won’t have to read everything, if you are just interested in my advice.

My advice… stay away from fivestaraffiliate.com. Why? Let me tell you…. I just signed up for free and started to investigate their program. No, I didn’t buy their starting package for $98, I just signed up. What worried me, is that there are very little quality search results for them in Google (natural and paid). So I dived in a bit more…

First….I checked and reviewed them a bit more. They look a lot like Affiliate Junktion. The whole setup is exact the same and it seems that they had a happy time with copying and pasting. There’s one HUGE difference though. They charge you for joining them ($98) and this is tricky. Why?

I think it’s never a good idea to pay to become an affiliate for someone. Just think about it…. Read more

Yes, it’s sad but true, Affiliate Junktion just announced that they will deactivate their affiliate program. So, it’s game over for this one…

“Due to the change of direction and global economic changes, Affiliate Junktion’s strategic business goals can no longer support the Affiliate Junktion referral program.”

“Please accept our apologies for the sudden termination of this program and thank you again for you hard work on our affiliate program.”

Cheers,

Rob.
