Hey everyone, This post is to inform you of AffiloJetPack!

• AffiloJetPack Bonus
• AffiloJetPack Official Site <== Go here now!

I know it has been all too long since I have done a post so here goes.

Mark Ling has pulled out ALL stops for you if you want to get going with affiliate marketing! No Joke!

Here is how AffiloJetPack can rock your world if you are just starting out as an affiliate!

The key to developing confidence as an affiliate is to see results fast, and to not get bogged down with the initial “administration” tasks. At each step — whether it’s choosing a niche, outsourcing content, designing graphics, acquiring hosting, or building the site itself – there is a good chance that you will delay, procrastinate, or just “get stuck”. By providing all the content, graphics, hosting, and website building tools you need to get a site up and running in a short period of time, you are more likely to see results faster, and less likely to give up.

Many affiliates do not add an autoresponder to their site because it is an expensive investment of time and money. This is despite the fact that an autoresponder can be the best way of generating repeat commissions from visitors. Mark Ling considers this the thing that can make you the most money, yet very few do it. By providing a full autoresponder series (one year’s worth of emails, appropriately timed, and complete with hard-sell emails and scarcity offers) you can easily get your autoresponder going and leave it on autopilot!

If you have difficulty putting together a website, he has built a WordPress theme. This theme has a comprehensive theme options panel with a huge array of layout tweaking options, so you never have to fiddle around with code. WordPress itself is free and widely used, so it’s a great solution for you. If you just want a professional looking site with no fuss or tweaking, he provides three pre-set layouts per niche!

For you to learn all the skills required to set up a website like this, and to source content of this quality, it would typically take months, and thousands of dollars. With AffiloJetPack you can have a top-notch site up and running in an afternoon, at a tiny fraction of the cost!

One of the key reasons people don’t see results fast is because they pursue SEO which can take months to start generating reasonable traffic, Mark has provided comprehensive training on traffic generation methods to get traffic to your sites as quickly as possible!

You will quickly build confidence in yourself and in affiliate marketing in general. With five of these sites under your belt (AffiloJetpack allows you to choose 5 of 10 niches) you should definitely be seeing some good results.

How can AffiloJetpack be used?

• Use it to create an SEO site by re-wording the website articles.
• Slap it up on a website and send traffic straight to the squeeze pages and rely on the autoresponder series to do all the heavy lifting as far as sales are concerned. (No need to reword the articles in this case… PPC doesn’t care!)
• Use the content to bolster an existing site. A lot of affiliates don’t get around to creating an autoresponder sequence, so they can simply plug this one in to start building long-term relationships with a list through quality emails. They’ll also make consistent sales from these emails too, due to the inclusion of promotional emails.
• People can see what a super-affiliate website looks like, and use it as a model for building further sites.

Who is AffiloJetpack for?

• Complete newbie affiliates who might never have built a site before and don’t know how to get started. We provide training to get them off on the right foot.
• Affiliates who have tried building sites before, but have got bogged down with learning all the initial skills required to do market research, build a website, outsource content creation, etc. Many of these people give up.
• Affiliates who have successfully built affiliate sites, but haven’t achieved much success because they’ve failed to add an autoresponder. We hear a lot of people saying that they “haven’t got around to it yet” or that they’ll do it once their site starts making more money (because it can be an expensive thing to set up).
• Affiliates who have little difficulty building sites and getting them earning, but who are attracted by the vast quantity and quality of this content for the price.
• Affiliates who are struggling to see good results with SEO traffic.

Whats Inside: AffiloJetpack Breakdown

• Niche Research done for you
  We find that a lot of would-be affiliates get stuck right at the very beginning when it comes to choosing a niche to target. So in AffiloJetpack we have hand-picked ten niches that are ALL known to be great for affiliates.
• Push-button web design solution
  Our custom WordPress theme (called AffiloTheme) gives users the power to perform dramatic changes to the look at layout of their site, without having to learn HTML, CSS or PHP.
  • Change background colors/patterns
  • Set colors and font styles for headings, menu items and body text
  • Switch the sidebar from left to right
  • Set page width, header height, sidebar width
  • Easily add/remove pages and text in the footer
  • Siloing option
  • Upload background images and header images without FTP (a LOT of people have trouble uploading images!)
  • Squeeze page generator uses my top 4 converting squeeze page layouts to quickly and easily generate squeeze pages with opt-in boxes.
• 3 x Professionally designed header graphics for each niche
  We see a lot of new affiliates tripping up on designing headers for their websites, so we’ve taken that problem away with three professionally designed header graphics for each niche. Users can add these into their sites directly, and then just add their own text into the header using our Theme Options panel. Or take them into a Paint program like Paint.NET to use different fonts and effects.

• One-click installation of WordPress and AffiloTheme on our Hosting Incubator
  As soon as a user enters their domain name and presses the button, they’ll be able to start adding content to their website. We worked out that that even when using a simplified installer like Fantastico, there were still a number of steps to getting WordPress up and running with our theme. So we decided to use a pared-back hosting option which allows us to install these things for people instead. One less place to get tripped up Everbody who buys AffiloJetpack gets one year’s free hosting on our Incubator. At the end of that period, the user can purchase additional hosting from us (for a price equal to or lower than other hosting providers) or they can easily move to another hosting provider.
• High quality 80-part (1 year) autoresponder sequence
  Includes: Emails are around 600 words long.
  • High quality, informational emails for building a great relationship with your list
  • Hard-sell promotional emails written by Mark Ling himself.
• 3 x “Free report” ebooks per niche
  These ebooks can be used to entice people to sign up for a newsletter list, as bonuses for people who buy through a user’s affiliate link… they can even be sold as their own product. Each ebook is approximately 7500 words long.
• 20 x high-quality PLR articles for a website
  Note: If people want to use these to build an SEO site, they will still need to do their own keyword research and re-write the articles to avoid duplicate content penalties. They should also look at doing their own research on keywords closely related to the topics of the niches, and maybe tweak the articles a little bit to reflect their keyword choices.

In short this product is meant to pull out all of the stops for you! At first glance AffiloJetPack seems like something that the affiliate marketing industry can really use to move forward and very quickly!

Stay tuned for any bonuses I may offer!

Talk Soon!

Hey everyone,  I know it has been way too long since I have posted something here. So that is my aim for today.

Today I want to give you a simple content and back links strategy to follow that should not take you more than 2 hours max a day to get done

I know you are saying two hours a day on one strategy is quite a bit of work… Well suck it up! I hate to be brutally honest here

but thats life. You are not going to get a six-figure business by just sitting on your duff without any hard work. No one is just

going to plop a business like that in your lap complete with products, customers and all.

Now that I am off my soap box…

So first off we are going to create a video on a specific keyword.

We will submit it to tubemogul or traffic geyser if you use that service

We will then watch that video and create an article out of it and submit it to ezinearticles, goarticles, article base and so on

We then take this article and spin it into a press release to be released to places such as PR web. (If that doesn't work for you just do a search for free press release syndication)

We then write a blog post about the video and article that you have just completed. (To keep googlebot coming back day after day set up a posting schedule. Meaning that you can drip feed content to your blog via the scheduling feature on wordpress)

Once the blog post has been posted and visible go to pingomatic.com and ping your blog. Do the same at pingoat.net

Then social bookmark your site via onlywire.

Finally we are going to do a major blast out to all of our social media and networking sites via ping.fm You can even update your status on skype AIM and YIM!

So total setup time for accounts on ping.fm, onlywire, tubemogul, article sites will be approximately 1-2 hours.

Your initial run through the above strategy once those accounts have been set up should not take you more than 2 hours to start…

Keep in mind that the more you run through this content and back links strategy the easier and quicker it will go for you.

Take action! Implement, Enjoy!

Yours in success!

Hey everyone,

I am sure by now that you have used websites such as twitter, and facebook just to name a few… Well all too often I have gone on these sites only to see "marketers" abusing and or even spamming their friends/followers, etc. To me SPAMMING = BIG NO NO!! I am serious on this one folks. Every day ordinary people getting offer after offer after offer crammed down their throats. They don't like that. So what I am going to do about this today is provide you with a simple plan to start implementing right now and keep those friends and followers you do have!

So if we look at today's title "The key to RELATIONSHIP marketing and SOCIAL networking", it should already be clear to you as what the key is or keys are…

If you did not get it the first time around read the above sentence again. Note the words that are in bold and caps. Yes, Now you have got it! We want to provide immense value to our friends and followers thus creating a relationship and cultivating it as well as being social and polite!

Say for instance you are in the internet marketing niche and you are using twitter. You will want to sign up for an account with twitter and provide a profile picture as well as go through and change up your profile settings to make your page stand out from everyone elses. Now since you are in the IM niche you will want to start off by following guys like Simon Leung, Mike Filsaime, Ed Dale, etc. Then start tweeting making sure to strike up conversations with people and try to help them out. Try and be a friend to them first and foremost before you start to send them massive amounts of offers. But well enough on this for a better explanation on this you can go grab this awesome free report on Simon Leung's website. He does a much better and concise job at spelling things out for you and can take this twitter example further for you.

Well that is it for now. If you are interested click on the links above to follow me on twitter, or friend me on myspace and facebook.

Sincerely;

Jason Baker – Web Consultant

Throughout my years in both the customer service industry, grocery industry and now as an entrepreneur I have come to figure out what I call the four pillars of a sale. What this means is that a sale is dependent on having these four aspects for a customer to purchase from you on a consistent basis.

The first of these four pillars is perhaps the most important. That is VALUE

Keep providing your clients and customers knowledge/content that is well researched and that can add value to their experience with you. Give them relevant, hard hitting facts that not only assist them with a problem they are having but also position you as their "Go To" person.

For example,when I worked at a grocery store stocking their cheese table I would regularly sample the various products, of course with managements approval, to ensure that the customer got the best information possible. There were several times where i had someone come up to me and ask "What would go good with this brie?" or "What does this Bleu Cheese taste like?"

Because I wanted to foster that relationship with my customers I would research the different pairings of cheeses with foods and recount the subtle flavors of each product upon the customers request. There were even times where I suggested a specific product based on what the customer was making.

So what does this have to do with business and internet marketing? Quite a bit actually… By providing the customer with VALUE I became their "GO TO" person and an expert in their eyes. This then brings us to the second pillar of a sale and that is KNOW

By fostering that relationship with customers and providing them VALUE they then began to KNOW me as not only a person but as the expert when it came to anything related to those products. The other tip I can provide you is that you do not need to worry about making mistakes or not knowing what to do. This shows that you are human, not perfect and that we do make mistakes. If in that situation though I always would try and provide a VALUABLE reference for them; whether it was the book we had sitting out or a website that I had used in the past for research.
 

This then brings us to the third pillar of a sale: LIKE

Through providing them VALUABLE information and the customer KNOWING me from previous encounters they began to LIKE me as a person. They KNEW that by coming to me I would provide them the best information possible. Thus they began to LIKE me. To be quite honest I had even gained a few business clients from previous customers that I had provided VALUE, the KNEW and LIKED me.

This brings us to our final pillar of a sale: TRUST

Finally the customers that I had fostered that relationship with TRUSTED me because they KNEW that I would provide them timely and VALUABLE information for their needs. So as a business owner we can use the same above model to foster relationships with clients. I am not only in the business to make sales but more importantly to grow relationships that will ultimately and eventually lead to SALES!

If you push and prod too much you will turn that potential client away. If instead you go to them as a friend and follow the four pillars above you too will gain the coveted sale and many more to come in the future.

Hey everyone,

Just a quick post on some of the plug-ins that I myself personally use. I highly recommend them as they will as the title says make your life a whole lot easier.

First off there are several e-commerce plugins out there for people to use but I personally use WP-ecommerce. It is easy to set up with products, a payment gateway and a few other odds and ends  then you are set! However if you install this plugin and find that you get a memory error don't fret. Just grab your favorite ftp client log in and grab your wp-settings.php file. Open it up with your favorite editor and look for a line that looks somewhat close to the one below. Usually it is set to 32M But in the case of my install I wanted to make sure it had plenty of memory available to work so I set mine to 128M.

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '32M');

Could read:

  define("WP_MEMORY_LIMIT", "64M");

or what ever other number up to 128.

Another plugin that I had just discovered that works wonders is My Page Orderer. It simply does as its title says it does. Orders pages. Install and activate it Then go to your pages tab and you will see something  like manage pages or order pages.

If you have been working with wordpress for any length of time I am sure you have wondered "How in the world do I change the fonts of my posts?" Well you are not alone. One of my clients asked me that very question and until I did about 5 minutes of searching I came up with a solution for them thankfully(That means I nor my team had to code it!)  Any way click on that link then you can simply drag and drop the pages in the order you want them in. See the old method of setting the order of your pages was clumsy.  You had to go in to edit each page then change its number click update then repeat for the other pages on your site. but not anymore. With My page orderer plugin drag drop save and that task is out of the way.

Enter Dave's FCKEditor No this is not some cruel joke to throw a bad word in there or some sort of filter… It allows you to put your post editing tools on STEROIDS! With this plugin you not only can change your fonts and font sizes but you can also add smile faces in your post easier as well as do the basic formatting you would do in MS Word.
The last plugin I am going to cover for this post is the plugin All-in-One SEO Pack

Simply put this allows you to create the desired title, description and keywords for the search engines to use when they index your posts.

Well that is it for now. I have a client instant messaging me. Until next time.

Hello everyone,

I had been asked how do I determine which keywords to go for when doing SEO or search engine optimization. So that is our topic today along with a unique way to let Google "tell you" what ranks well for the specific keyword…

So open up another tab on your browser and go to Google.
Type in Fitness Trainer Now do not hit enter. Grab your pen and paper or a notepad file and copy down all of these suggestions google is giving you right now. These are real time searches that people are typing in at the moment of the search. These can be useful for other keywords to rank for in our site.

When you do hit the enter key take a look at the number of results that come up in the upper right hand corner. At the time I did this search there were over 15,000,000 pages indexed in google. Next we want to open up Google Adwords Keyword tool. Type in Fitness Trainer, make sure the check box for use synonyms is checked and fill out the little image verification. Then hit your enter key. I am not providing screen shots

So we want to look for keywords that are at least 2-3 words and have at least 9,000 + to 20,000 global monthly searches for the term. When I typed in fitness trainer I saw one result that was in our range. So since fitness trainer is too broad we need to tighten down our search for keywords to use. Now that we have found a keyword fitness trainer tips we can start getting into SEO through googles eyes.

What we have here (fitness trainer tips) is what is called a Long tail keyword or low hanging fruit. What this means is that this specific keyword phrase will be easy for us to compete and rank in. So we type in fitness trainer tips and get 1.08 million pages indexed in google for the terms fitness trainer tips. Wow! Thats a lot to compete with! But, we are not concerned with this as we want to find out how many exact pages are indexed for the terms in our specific order of fitness trainer tips. To do this we put the phrase in quotes i.e. "fitness trainer tips" then hit enter on your keyboard. The prior searches we did are known as broad searches and the search we just did is known as an exact match search. Well I will be darned…. We have stripped away probably about 85% of what we though was competing sites! We are now down to just a bit over 64,000 pages indexed for our terms fitness trainer tips.

This we can deal with!

So at the time I did the search I looked through the results to try and fid ways that we can easily get our page ranked for our term fitness trainer tips. I saw a wedding blog that had the exact terms we are trying to rank for. This is good. Google is telling us what to do to rank for this term by showing us that we can comment on blogs for increased ranking. When we do this however you want to make sure and read the post thoroughly and make sure that you can provide some added value to the post.

Bad comment example:

Hey Jane, Thanks for the post! Have a great day!

Good comment example:

Hey Jane, Did you know that on average there are XX people looking for fitness trainer tips? You may also want to do some research on yahoo answers as there are potential clients available with a bit of work through that site. You want to make sure that you don't deal with anyone that is under 18…

Most sites will allow you to put your name in as well as your website so do this and add more value to the post. People will be well informed and more likely to click on your name or website for more information.

Another window of opportunity for us to rank for the term fitness trainer tips would be to get involved in the forum that shows up in the search results. Once again sign up, get active in the forum and make sure to provide value. Then put a link back to your site in your forum signature as long as it doesn't violate the forums rules. If you truly interact with the forum and provide quality valuable information you are sure to get people clicking on your website address to see what else you have to offer.

By the way before you go on to the next step make sure to copy down the words at the bottom of the search results. These too are good keywords that are being searched right now. To find more good keywords we can run these recommended or suggested search terms through google adwords keyword tool as well and keep the cycle going until you have your one base keyword and three to four supporting keywords.

Another way to see through googles eyes is to look up toward the top of the search results to find a link that says show options

If you search through each link provided on the left hand side of the page you can see there are all sorts of ways to rank for our term. At the time of writing this there were only two videos on fitness trainer tips. A good possibility if you are into creating videos.

So before we finish our SEO through googles eyes I want to show you a teriffic tool to help you dig deep and find some other interesting possibilities for keywords. On that same panel for show options scroll down until you see the link for wonder wheel Now click on it…

So when it pops up you will see a circle in the middle with our keyword of fitness trainer in the middle. If you click on one of the little spokes you will see it goes to the center and the one we were just on goes off to the side and becomes smaller. So for instance I clicked on online fitness trainer. These options may be different but you will get the picture. If you like that keyword phrase then put quotes around it in the search bar above the wonder wheel and you will see how many pages are indexed for this term. Now at the time of this entry I saw approximately 296,000 pages indexed. Don't be frightened. Remember the windows of opportunity we had talked about? You will want to look for these here as well. So to see what we have click on the link that says web next to where wonder wheel is bolded There you can see the actual search results. At the time of writing this there were not any distinguishable windows of opportunity without going on to theoptions panel but I think that you have the idea by now.

So whether you are a fitness trainer looking to get into private practice or are thinking of becoming one, now you at least know how to do SEO through Googles eyes!

Hey everyone,

 Just a quick post about how easy it is to arrive to either a future date or determine a past date… I found this bit of code out after researching a bit online to help a fellow warrior forum member out. They wanted to set up a coupon to be printed out next to a cash register from a kiosk for a local business. So they had the file already set up with the image that they wanted for the coupon, but they wanted to get some php code in the page to allow for an expiration date to be put over top of the coupon specifically in the area for the expiration date. So here it is.

First off we are going to do some basic html code as this is where the expiration date will be printed out and then positioned on the page. We are going to start by providing a div statement as follows.

<DIV>

<!– php code goes here–>

</DIV>

Now that we have that set up we can put the following css in an external style sheet or one directly in the page itself. Any way,

DIV {

         width: 25px;

        height: 25px;

        position: absolute top xxpx; left: xxpx; //where the first xx in xxpx is for the number of pixels to be moved.

     }

So now that we have the xhtml and css dealt with we move on to the meat of this post the php!

So in that div statement we provided above we would start thing off like this.

<div>

<?

$date=date("m-d-Y", time());

So after the div statement we denote php code by the <? and we set up a variable for getting the server date. the first part in the line of code is for formatting the date. The lowercase m tells php that you want the month represented in two digits same with the day. Now we use a capitol Y for getting the full year represented in four digits. The second part of that date statement is for getting the time unix time stamp in there as well.

Now comes the fun part! we can start manipulating the date in the variable we just set up.

So the friend of mine wanted to add 30 days to today's date to come up with the expiration date. He accomplished this by putting in the following line of code.

$date = strtotime(date("m-d-Y", strtotime($date)) . " +30 days");

Now we are going to reset the date variable by giving the function strtotime. What this does is allows plain english to be translated into eventually via a unix time stamp to the final expiry date. Next we set up the same date parameters we did before except instead of time() we run the old $date through a strtotime function and finally we use a dot(.) to add onto the line with quotes around +30 days then we cap off the first strtotime function with the remaining ) and a semicolon.

Note that you can tack on anything to the last bit you may for instance want to find out what the date was a year ago so instead of +30 days you would put in -1 year.

So there you have it. Time travel using php! Have a great day and we will see you soon!

Ok everyone first off I will show you an example of a similar form that we will create. Go to my contact page for the example. Now I am not going to show you how to integrate a capcha but will show you how to get the nuts and bolts done for a contact form.
