Happy New Years EVE- 2015 Here We Come

by 6 Comments

So I am a day early with my new years 2015 post. This is going to be a short post I just want to let you know that after a conversation last night with my business partner we decided where going to use this blog to with you our journey online.

So here is what has been going on: For years we have been in the internet network marketing industry. We’ve done pretty well for ourselves. The thing is we haven’t actually fully realized our true potential because we have always been working for some other company as affiliates.

Several years back we did create a marketing system similar to Empower Networks system. We ran into a bunch of personal issues in both of our lives that caused us not to continue with the Perfect Funded Proposal System.

Fast forward, back in 2009 I started a martial arts YouTube channel. Basically filming my Sifu, what I didn’t expect at all was that people would really be interested in what we where saying…

That channel showed me my first real breakthrough in understanding how to sell stuff online successfully. By saying selling stuff I am not talking about affiliate products or network marketing products.

I am talking about selling your own products.  [Read more…] about Happy New Years EVE- 2015 Here We Come

Getting More Blog Comments – That Actually Will Get You More Web Traffic

by 25 Comments

Making Your Blog Comments Effective For Marketing

I check my analytic s all the time. It always amazes me how much traffic I can pull from commenting on other peoples blogs. With all the animal updates google likes to give us. Many bloggers have been more cautious with blog comments.

I can’t blame them I literally get thousands of spam comments every month. I also get lots of those weird comments, you know the ones they kinda go like this:

“Great idea, thanks for the tip I am going to have to use that, I learned so much thank you”

Let’s be honest here:

First nobody is going to care about your blog comments unless you engage the writer or engage another comment with a meaningful opinion. Seriously you don’t have to agree with me to get your comment on my blog. You simply need to actually read what I write or read what someone else commented and take part in the conversation.

Blog Comments don’t = Higher Search Engine Rankings

Maybe blog comments do increase your search engine rankings. But if that is the case your comments needs to be on blogs that are within the same niche that you are in to get any meaningful link juice.

SEO isn’t the power of a blog comment. The magic is in the comment itself. You need to really step back and look at the other commentors and also take in the bloggers blog.

The better you can grab a persons attention with your statement the more people that will visit you. I see it all the time on my own stuff. I drop a comment somewhere and keep getting traffic from that comment for months.

The reason is because I don’t write crappy comments. I write thoughtful, insightful and sometimes heart felt comments. The type of comments that compels a person to click on my name.

I know I am going to get some people biting my head off for saying this but I think it needs to be said. Blog comments are only good for your business if they can actually get you traffic.

Get out of your mind that you need lots of backlinks to make money or get more traffic because it’s simply not true. What you need is content that people want. The rest will happen on it’s own.

Blog Comments Is The Doorway Into Another Traffic Stream

Realize that the webmaster of whatever blog you are visiting works very hard to keep traffic coming to their site. If you do your part engage the author, write good comments that are keyword rich then you will be rewarded with more traffic.

If you are low on advertising budget and you want to drive more traffic to your stuff here are some do and don’ts when using blog comments for you

  • Don’t use landing pages in your url’s I don’t know any bloggers that like to link to other peoples landing pages
  • Do write thoughtful comments, spend 5 to 10 minutes writing your comments
  • Don’t comment without your avatar
  • Do use gravatar

And please, please don’t outsource blog commenting. Write your own comments. Nobody will represent you as well as you.

Happy New Years!

Creating A Responsive Blog Community That Will Get You Results.

There really are only 2 ways to make money online. Either you are going to invest money in advertising your business Or you are going to work all the different free marketing methods available to you.

Personally I have always favored spending money, rather than spending the extra time, however I do know what it is like to try and make money online without having a marketing budget to work with.

When I first got started in all this online marketing stuff times where different. You could easily get quality back links just by visiting other blogs. You could use Google Ad Words and just direct link your affiliate link.

A lot sure has changed in 8 years. Today you have a much more difficult time getting the one thing we all need to make money on the internet. That is web traffic. I have been talking about web traffic since around 2005.

It still is the most important variable to making money on the internet.  With that said I am going to share with you what I think is the most mis understood aspect of  blogging. That is creating a responsive community. [Read more…] about Creating A Responsive Blog Community That Will Get You Results.

Still Struggling To Make Money Online? Maybe You Need To Change Direction?

by 21 Comments

I know right now there are some folks out there really struggling to make money on the internet. In theory it sounds like a good idea, in application though it’s another story all together. When you are as stubborn as I am you eventually figure it out. I figured out that it doesn’t matter what you are selling on the internet as long as your represent yourself in a ethical manner.

I also learned that the people who don’t find success on the internet never really wanted it in the first place.  Let me tell you from experience that the one thing you don’t want to do is listen to people who aren’t successful.

Another words, don’t by into sale pitches, rather look at the persons results and understand that it’s not the product that is getting the person good results it’s their actions.

Just take a look at the results me and Jamie are having in the business we created.

No Income claims, Results are not typical, These are just our own personal results in a business we started
No Income claims, Results are not typical, These are just our own personal results in a business we started

We aren’t selling lotions or potions, where not selling hype, we aren’t selling a “Dream”. We are selling a product that is in demand. Were selling something that people already are willing to buy. They don’t have to be convinced to buy. [Read more…] about Still Struggling To Make Money Online? Maybe You Need To Change Direction?

Marketing On The Internet Back To Basics – Making Money Online

Making Money Online From Home Possible? Maybe

Creating wealth from the comfort of your home is a dream that is shared by hundreds of thousands of people. The problem has been and probably will continue to be is that your every day person who is looking to earn a few extra dollars get caught up in the hype of online marketers.

This problem isn’t a new a problem I’ve seen this situation play out a thousand times over the years. I have seen situations where a person totally failed at internet network marketing, however hit a grand slam selling T- shirts.  I’ve seen affiliate marketers fail at selling amazon products and kill it selling network marketing products.

From the very beginning of my online marketing adventure I have had my fair share of trials and tribulations. Even now that I make money online I still run into constant snags, error messages, strange coding problems.

Still though, the allure of making money from my home with my computer has caused me to continue forward always seeking to improve my internet marketing skills.  So with the rest of this post I want to give you a peek into what a person who makes money online actually does.

Making Money Online – Trying Everything Under The Sun

There are actually people out there who have absolutely no technical skill wanting to make money online. Some fool told them that they can all they have to do is buy X product and boom they will be into profits in no time. Sadly I was one of those people who bought into the illusion. Back in 2003 I got a phone call from a person who got my phone number from a leads broker. I ended up on that persons list because I answered an ad online about how I could turn my free time into extra bucks.

Basically they salesperson convinced me that if I spent $7000 I would get a web site and they would drive traffic to that web site and I would earn commissions. To be honest with you I believed him. Made sense to me, build a website and send thousands of people to it.

There was one problem with this though, nobody wanted what I was selling. Which basically was website that was selling to other people how to be an affiliate marketer. At the time I knew practically nothing about it, other than I could earn money if people bought the products.

Nobody bought anything, I sunk another $2000 in advertising and still nobody bought anything, to be honest I doubt the “company” even got me any traffic at all. That is just one of my stories from a long list of of failures in my online career.

A few years later I got involved with an online network marketing company, Again I spend a large chunk of money only this time I ended up getting sign ups to my network marketing business. It was so easy to do. I just spent money on an advertising co-op and presto my downline was building.

In theory this was very easy to  duplicate. In practicality I couldn’t convince 1 person out of 80 to buy into the co-op and do the same thing.  I learned something very important that year. 1. I learned that it can be very easy to make sales online. 2. It can be very hard to convince someone else that it’s very easy to make money online.

It was at this point I decided I should actually learn how the hell these people online are really making money. So what did I actually learn? [Read more…] about Marketing On The Internet Back To Basics – Making Money Online

Do This One Thing And Become The Blogger You Where Meant To Be

by 1 Comment

Ever notice how some people have amazingly successful blogs? Not just anyone can be a good blogger.  If you are one of those people that don’t like writing but where told or taught you should blog you should stop blogging right now.

I have been blogging since 2006. There is more than the allure of making money that drives me to blog. Fact of the matter is I simply enjoy writing about stuff. Even if I wasn’t doing business online I would still more than likely blog about something or another.

I want to help you today, more specifically I want to help you right now!

Decide right now that you are going to blog and keep blogging even when you don’t have anything to blog about. The reason why is because it will more than likely take hundreds if not thousands of post before you become a better writer.

I am not talking about grammer or spelling or anything of the sort. I am talking about developing the ability to become fluid with your thoughts.  Your success as a blogger will only come through consistency over time.

Many of today’s successful bloggers weren’t so successful when the started. They had no traffic, went around and commented and shared peoples stuff. They developed real relationships with other bloggers.  One thing all these bloggers have in common is they have consistently blogged for years.

They all have different approaches, the end results are always the same. If you decide here and now that you are going to blog consistently and you aren’t going to ever stop. Your consistent actions over time will be your strongest asset.

For starters….

Search engines love it when you actually stick around for a few years. They start to rank you higher simply because you been around. People start to realize your serious because they see you consistent. They also know there is a good chance you are going to share something new with them.

Good bloggers love to share ideas and thoughts.

In closing,

Good blogging is simply a matter of staying consistent over time. Eventually your writing will pay off for you. The most important thing to keep in mind is truly with all your heart love to write. If you don’t and your just blogging because someone told you it was a good idea. Stop! There are lots of ways to earn money online. Blogging is only one vehicle and it’s really not for everyone.

A Slave To The System – What Will It Take To Free Yourself From Bondage?

by 11 Comments

Have you ever felt like you are just a slave to the system? You go to work, pay your bills and if your lucky you even get to take a vacation here and there. More and more I talk to folks who have been working at their job for 18 years 20 years etc.. Only to be let go because they are earning to much money. I’ve noticed that the older you get the more likely you are to get canned for some trumped up reason or another.

The poor people keep staying poor while the rich people keep being rich. The idea of true financial freedom is out of most peoples reach. Mostly because the population has been brainwashed to believe they are doing well.

In truth though, if you have noticed the food that we consume is getting worse every year. More diseases are surfacing, more natural disasters are happening. What does this all mean? Well it means that now is the perfect time to start figuring out a way to better secure your future interest.

I have been thinking long and hard what to do with Profit On Knowledge.  I feel I should start waking people up to the reality that they aren’t really in control of their lives. Governments and politicians don’t like us entrepreneurs. Why? Because they can’t control our lives. They can’t tell us how much to make. What we should be doing with our time.  It’s the working class that they are after.

After all it’s the working class that are told how much they are worth. When they have to wake up in the morning. How much they have to get done at work. Basically the working class are the slaves of Wealthy.

Who am I talking about? The people who own the banks that’s who. It’s not america vs the world. It’s the poor vs the rich. There is no middle class. There are some folks who have more money than other folks, but at the end of the day they are still just slaves.

The government here in the United States would like the world to believe we as a nation are free. That really isn’t true though. I don’t agree with any of my presidents polices nor do I believe my vote actually counts. That of course if for another story.

Today This rant is simply about telling you it’s time to start waking up. I have been wondering what I can do to make a difference. To fight back against tyranny. The only thing I can think of doing is helping people understand how fundamentally easy it is to make money online.

In the past, I would simply find some network marketing business to join and build teams up and teaching people how to do things like get leads and traffic to their lead capture pages.  I would teach my team how they need to position themselves in the market place to be seen as leaders in the community.

I’d educate them on how important it is to use Story Telling marketing in their business. [Read more…] about A Slave To The System – What Will It Take To Free Yourself From Bondage?

1&1 Hosting And Other Tid Bits

I’ve read the good the bad and the ugly about 1 & 1 hosting. I don’t have an opinion on the matter other than I’ve been hosting with them since around 2006. In that time I have experienced all kinds of problems.

Their customers service is okay but I do have some cripes about it and maybe I can help you solve some of your 1&1 hosting problems.

 

WordPress, SSL, 1&1 Hosting

securitySo I have another blog 🙂 that uses SSL. Of course I had to figure out how to the SSL certificate to work with my site.

I called up 1&1 hosting support and they gave me zero support.

They told me to ask my developer how to do it.

I explained to them I was the developer of my site and not a very good one at that. Long story short I purchased my SSL certificate from geotrust through 1&1 and was installed on my server. I still know how to get it to work with my site.

So without complaining anymore about this here is the solution I found. [Read more…] about 1&1 Hosting, SSL, IonCube And Other Annoyances

Good Blogging vs Bad Blogging What Are You Blogging About?

by 46 Comments

What makes up good blogging?

That is the question I am asking today. Who decides what a good blog post is and what a bad blog post is? There was a time when people just blogged for the love of blogging sharing their point of view with the world.

Over time it seems blogging guru’s started dictating what it takes to write a good blog post.  I learned a great deal in the Internet Network Marketing industry. The biggest lesson I learned is that it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

That applies here in the blogosphere as well. Connect with the right person and your blog will instantly enjoy lots of traffic and comments out of the gate.  On the flip side piss off the wrong person and you will spend the remainder of your cyber career in virtual Siberia.
