The Lazy Git – Can you be lazy and make money?

Well that is an answer that everyone is looking for. My unqualified answer is yes and no. Really helps you doesn’t it?

Here is what I mean though – you can keep getting paid over and over for one time work. So after you have done your setup work and created your system you can definitely be a lazy git (his definition is: A Lazy Bum, but Healthier, Wealthier and Happier…).

The nice thing about this is he has given you a step by step plan to allow ou to do just this. You will need to do the initial work. If that w word scares you then no you don’t want this.

The good part is that it is one time work and once you have it up and running it will run almost on autopilot. You really don’t need to spend anything else to make this work but there are a few tools that will automate and cut down on your effort. To be truly lazy you would want to get these so budget a bit extra of either your time or your money.

You can do this easily part time and there will be a bit of a lag from your effort to your payoff. If you want instant cash this is not for you. However if you would like to do some work once then be able to leave it almost on autopilot (will take a few minutes each month) and sit back and get paid for that one time effort you should give this a go.

Then you too can be a lazy git if you so desire.

Well when I am reviewing products the first thing I do is go through it. Does it actually fulfill the promises on the front page? On this one that answer is yes and no.

The no part is that it as a well creafted sales letter and will lead you to assume things even though it does not promise them. First sign of a good marketer who walks the walk and Ewen does.

Does Ewen create huge sums on autopilot – absolutely. Do I after going through these? No but I do make increasing sums of money and it grows every month.

The videos should be required viewing for everyone looking to start in affiliate marketing. Extremely easy to follow and step by step. This is something that you should actually take the time to go back through every few months. The second time I saw a little thing that I totally missed the first time. That little thing has added $50 for me in less than a week with what I was doing already.

Hey $50 a week over a year from a little tweak makes the time spent reviewing these worth while to say the least.

At $27 this is something that everyone needs to get AND take the time to read and watch the videos. No product makes you money until you apply the lessons.

This one gets a two thumbs up. I thought I was pretty well founded in the fundamental and could still find a way from just one thing to already double my investment.

7 Figure Code – Good, bad or indifferent?

Well this one has taken a while to review to say the least. The 7 Figure Code comes in a great big box with 2 big binders and 14 DVDs. For size alone it gets a thumbs up.

The downside is that it is easy to get information overload. I quickly decided that was something that would have to be taken in little bites. I planned to attack this by doing two modules each week. After all one of my biggest gripes is with people buying things and not applying the information.

That quickly changed. Currently it is taking about 10 days a module. Getting through this is like eating an elephant. Needs to be done one bite at a time*grin*.

Now why 10 days a module? So far each module has created about that much to implement. At 2 hours a day a single dvd creates 15-20 hours of implementation.

This is the key to making this work at least for me. Do a section – implement it – review it again. Only then do I start the next section.

Now so far I have put in a lot of effort but the thing I like is that the items I have implemented have already born fruit. By the end of next month I will have easily paid for the course and that is with only being half way through.

If you are willing to put in the effort and apply the techniques this will be one of the best purchases you will ever make. If you aren’t will ing to put the time and effort to implement this than pass by on this one.

This one is a tough one to review. Hard to not be a bit biased. I contributed to it with my partner on the podcast at The Mike and Erik Show – Erik Stafford.

I know what the teleseminar tips and podcast information we contributed have done for my bottom line. Those alone would be a good rate of return on the cost of this in my opinion but I am biased ;-) .

Fortunately I can be unbiased about the rest of the product. The one tip from Ross where he shows you how he got a 400% increase in his emails was a killer. Some of the blog tips earn me money each and every week.

Affiliate marketing is changing and especially in the internet marketing niche using these cutting edge techniques will make a huge difference in your income. Now some of them do take that w word that a lot of marketers avoid (work).

Most of those are one time items that will pay off time and time again.

If you are looking to improve your affiliate marketing efforts this will be a good investment if you don’t mind a bit of effort. If you are looking for a big red button to push – then avoid this and spend your money on lottery tickets. You will have a better chance, not a good one but better as this will take some action on your part.

Peel Away Ads – Effective or not?

Well the hype has started to die down so now we can take a look at Peel Away Ads. After all the key to any new product is does it create measurable results.

First they definitely create curiousity and allow you to make a special offer. Use a compelling offer (like a discount) and they do increase conversions. They allow you to add a second discount sales page and on that page there is a nice reminder that keeps telling them what the discount is as they scroll down the page.

On the page that I have tested the conversion more than doubled. More important though it can be used to get a subscriber without interrupting your sales process. I used it on one and it beat out the hover pop I was using 3 to 1.

The page I tested generated 10 extra sales at $27 or $270 extra from the same traffic. So in one week this made me $233 or over 6 times my investment. The extra subscribers from the other page will probably generate that or more.

There are great tutorials that show you exactly how to set it up and make it work. For me I needed to get a new graphic for my offer (Old Bald Guy’s don’t do graphics unless they need to ) then follow the easy steps and it was ready.

For me that is a winner.

Discover Cpanel – Getting Better

Discover CPanel was launched by Bob Jenkins and Chris Morris. They provided two free videos on CPanel and the opportunity to upgrade to see the rest of their videos.

The quality of the instruction and the videos are excellent. When they first launched it looked like an okay product. Great instruction for a new person to understand and use CPanel.

Then they took it up a notch. They added a series of videos that show you exactly how to take a resell rights pack (you know the kind cluttering your hard drive)and get up and usable on line.

Everything from unzipping it, editing the names etc. and adding a Paypal button.

Now for experienced marketers you may be sitting there shaking your head and saying so what?

Well I may be Old and Bald but I do remember when I first tried to do this. Many hours later I actually accomplished it. Something like this I might have given my right arm for (especially about 2 hours in when I was beating my head against the desk).

I have added a sample video below so you can judge the quality but if you aren’t familiar with CPanel and want to save a lot of aggravation this is a must have.

They will even give you one free.

For experienced webmasters don’t even look you know this stuff. New and want to avoid aggravation or have a bunch of resell clutter grab it quick.

Viral Marketing Black Book – Good or bad?

Just finished reading Stanley Tang’s Viral Marketing Black Book. Overall it was a good read.

Now I will warn you though that it starts very slow and basic. For me that was a negative but for someone brand new that is actually an advantage. If you don’t understand the basics of viral marketing some of the more advanced tips will not make any sense.

Once you get past the initial sections and grasp the basics there are quite a few good tips in there and a few easy ways that I have missed in the past. This will improve the spread of ideas if you use these twists and that is the key to making viral marketing work.

Pay particular attention to the section on using email as a viral tool. That really set the ideas going for me. Tend to think much more towards using lists and not how you can spread things virally through regular email. Big mistake for me.

I did disagree with his choices of blogging platforms ( I prefer to host my own) but the blogging section had some good tips on using it for viral marketing.

Over all if you are relatively new this will get 5 stars from me and if you apply it will provide a good rate of return relative to the cost.

If you have been using viral ebooks and videos you will still find some things that will set you to looking at different twists that can really improve your results and for that reason it is still probably wothwhile although may ony be 3-1/2 starts for you. Your rate of return will really depend on how well you already think out of the box. For me it was good as I tend to think straight ahead but if you already think out of the box it may not have the value for you that it did for me.

15 K in 7 days – Does it work?

Brian Edmondson just released a new product today – 15 K in 7 Days. The title refers to what he personally did as an affiliate in sales for the Butterfly Marketing launch last year. This got him in the top 20 of all affiliates.

The part that stunned people was that he was an unknown before that launch (except to his subscribers) and more importantly that he did it with a list of 1286. That is not a typo. One thousand two hundred and eighty six subscribers. (I typed it out so you would know I wasn’t having an old and bald moment.)

Now the new product is the transcripts and recording of a teleseminar he did with Tellman Knudsen. Tellman grilled him to find out exactly how he got those kind of results from such a small list. (Understanadably as he did better than a number of better known marketers with list ten or more times larger.)

Now as this is a brand new product but it was available as a bonus in a high priced package that Brian had sold and I bought. I have been using the techniques he talks about for many months and they have helped increase the return I get many times.

Have I made 15k in 7 days on a promotion – NO. Can you – MAYBE but only if you apply everything.

Can this report improve your list building and the response you get from your list? ABSOLUTELY – but only if you actually apply the techniques.

I have been using some of the techniques that Ross Goldberg recommends for a while now. I have had Ross on a teleseminar and the one thing I know is that his techniques work well.

Here is an example. Sunday I launched a new product in fact my quite biased review is in the next post down ;-) . Well with the techniques I have implemented one of my blogs was #1 on Google for the book title in about 2 hours from the time the post was made.

Google ranking

Now Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane is the best source of implementing all of the Web 2.0 techniques in one place. More importantly, Ross will show you how to properly link all of them to generate traffic to any site you want.

He covers all of the types in one place.

  1. Squidoo
  2. Social bookmarking
  3. MySpace
  4. You Tube
  5. Blogging
  6. and much more

There are scripts to maximize the usage, videos to show you step by step how to do it and all at a price that in my opinion is way too low.

See I was lucky and as Ross is a friend so I have been testing these and when he told me the price I thought he was nuts. Not sure how long he will keep it at this price point so I would definitely recommend that you check it out at once.

It really doesn’t matter if you are into Adsense, affiliate marketing or selling your own product. You need traffic and what Ross teaches will get you more traffic.
