Before I start I want to get into a story first about some of the interaction I get regularly.

Some thing came up this past week in the weekly seminar I do for Get Referrals Fast. After the standard presentation we always have what I call an open session. Rarely does it follow the topic we were discussing and quite often it goes into multiple directions.

This week it went into the topic of focus or rather how the lack of it

The person that was asking was a relatively new marketer that wanted to build a list (a good thing) and be a powerhouse.

He had been buying a bunch of IM products and not getting results from them except for one but that did not continue. He was on a buying spree and not spending enough time to actually see if he could make them work. Now he wanted to change focus again.

Can we get him on our list pretty please. Love people that buy everything.

In all of the products he had bought only one worked a bit for him. He had a little success with Google Sniper but dropped it and went on to the next thing when his pages started to drop.

Instaed of following the instructions and building more links to keep the page up in the rankings (you know that w thing again)…

He was into instant gratification. Still looking for the holy grail of the big red EASY BUTTON.

I want one too.

Now the problem with hopping from thing to thing is that you never get good at anything. He did the minimum with each thing he tried and when it did not get a ton of money on to the next thing.

Instead of taking the little success with the one program and focusing on it to continue to increase how well it worked he jumped to the next thing.

We really need more people like him on our list and then send a lot of promos. Oh yeah I can hear the Kaching already.

Despite what my evil twin would like, this is where being on too many lists can be a killer to your focus. Seeing all the new shiny objects that arrive each day keep you from improving what is working and get you off on tangents.

Changing your business model for the new latest and greatest secret will kill you. You never get good at anything and as competition increases being good at specific things will become more important.

You really need to do two things.

Manage your email properly. A topic I will be covering this coming Thursday at the Get Referrals Fast seminar. This way if you are on a bunch of lists for swipe file purposes you can still keep them but not have them be enticing you. Just check them when you are looking for ideas.

Start unsubscribing from lists that talk about things that don’t fit your current business. If that is one of mine that is fine because you won’t be interested in what I am saying anyhow.

What do you think and no answers allowed from the evil twin? We all know what he thinks

Adsense Alive Pro is a new release from Doug Champigny. Now some have said that Adsense is dead. You have seen the reports but those are always from someone that has something to sell. Like a lot of things it is easy to poke at something if it gets people to want what you are selling.

Adsense is still viable and I get regular direct deposits from Google to my bank account.

Yes ,we like deposits to the bank account. Oh yeah! But what is included in this package.

Good question evil one. Doug has put together a great package with everything to get someone started.

The silver package includes…

• 30 Adsense Alive WordPress Themes
• 2 videos as a bonus
• • How to install the Adsense Alive themes
  • How to install a Secure WordPress blog
• 300 PLR articles on 30 different niches
• Instant Adsense Profits video series
• Multi Niche Power Blogging video
• Affiliate Marketing with Adsense blogs video
• WP Stealth Links Plugin

Everything you need to get started creating your own Adsense empire and add affiliate offers too.

Sounds good what is the catch? Nothing is that easy for sure.

Clever you are my evil friend. Yes you need to do work and you will need to create or buy additional content. You will need to take the time to create backlinks. These are covered in the videos but yes this is not copy and paste instant money.

Despite what the various hypey sales letters tell you, it takes effort to be successful.

The key is that Doug has supplied the training, a starting point with the article package and the WordPress themes to make it easy to get started properly.

You will need hosting and to buy a domain or two.

Damn! Why don’t you ever find anything that doesn’t take that WORK thingy. I just want instant money.

Well anyone that is like you and does not want to put in the effort should save their money. Of course that goes for any product for sale.

This will make it easy and supply the knowledge people need but it is not a big red easy button. It does cut the learning curve and make it easier for someone to be successful but only with effort.

Now Doug has added a gold option too. This is personal use of all of the above items and the resell rights to..

• Adsense Alive Theme Pack
• Instant Adsense Profit
• WP Stealth Profits pluigin

So you can set up and sell each of these products as your own product. He even added a special bonus for Gold purchasers for resell rights of Blog Flipping Secrets. Another way to make money by selling off the blogs once you have created some income from them.

So who should get what? You are confusing me and that gets me pissed. You don’t want me to be pissed.

When are you not pissed oh evil one? Good question none the less.

If you are looking for an income stream using Adsense and affiliate marketing the Silver package is all you need.

If you have a list already, understand how to set up a product online then the Gold package gives you some additional ways to generate money.

The choice is yours but if you are not in the latter experience area, the Gold version could lead to information overload as your focus should be on creating your Adsense blogs and taking time to learn another skill like adding and promoting resell rights products can lead to confusion.

For me personally, the Gold package would work because I have a list of potential buyers for the products and could get the products up for sale in an hour or two.

For someone with less experience, the set up time would be much more and would keep them from actually getting the Adsense sites up and running.

Check out Adsense Alive Pro Bundle and grab the one that will work best for you.

Keyword research is one of the keys to getting good rankings from the search engines. Market Samurai is perfect for that but it does a lot more.

If all you could do with Market Samurai is keyword research it would be okay but not worth the price. It has some great sorting functions that allow you to find good keywords but that can be done using the Google External research tool for free without much extra effort.

The power of Market Samurai is the number of other features.

The competition module is well worth the price. Being able to see how competitive your keyword will be is invaluable. Knowing quickly what the top 10 current results have done to get there is nice.

The training videos they have at Market Samurai will show you exactly how to use this information in creating your keyword list.

Next is the content module. Being able to search for content can be a great time saver. They pull in results from article directories, YouTube, Flcikr, Scribd documents, Google News, Yahoo News, Yahoo Answers and blogs. This will save you a huge amount of time on researching new topics.

Once you have found a good niche you can use the domains section to find both new domains and aged domains that are for sale that fit your niche.

There si the ability to create and publish content from Market Samurai but that is not a feature that I use so I can’t comment on how well it works.

Finally once you start working in the niche you can use Market Samurai to keep track of your ranking. If you are targeting more than one or two keywords this is an invaluable tool.

Market Samurai is much more than just a keyword research tool and will save you a lot of time and effort in multiple ways.

Definitely a must have tool for any content marketer in my opinion.

Check out Market Samurai here and get your free trial to see if it is for you.
