This post is a follow on from my recent post “Using Physical Info Products To Create A Residual Income“. One of the things that is always hard to visualize is how the end product will look. Sure, with digital products you see what it looks like as you create it. However, when you outsource the creation and delivery of your physical product, you really want to know that it is going to “look good”.

Let me put your mind at rest…. I have received some photos of the final product that is received by your customer. Of course, the art work shown in these photos will differ - it will be your own art work that appears. However, here’s what your customers will receive: Read the rest of this entry »

As one of my friends in the Internet Marketing world says - don’t do as the gurus say, do as the gurus do.

Looking at what many of the gurus are doing, and have been doing over the last few years I noticed that many of them have been delivering their training packages and products in a physical format and charging a lot more than the same digital download product. Read the rest of this entry »

An interesting debate (I suppose you could call it that) is surfacing about Internet Marketers using Twitter.

What’s the fuss about? Well, any one who is a “honourable” Internet Marketer will know that we are often “tarred with the same brush” as the “spammers”, charlatans and scammers that abound on the ‘Net. Certainly, I held this kind of belief before I did my research on starting an online business. However, after a LOT of research and searching, I have found that whilst there are scammers and spammers, many Internet Marketers are doing the right thing, creating valuable products and, quite rightly, making a living by marketing their creations on the Internet.

One of the concerns that I had when starting to listen to teleseminars was the sheer cost of the phone call from Australia.  It can add up, and when you consider that I spend on average 3 to 4 hours a week on the phone to the US now, those costs can be staggering.

Audio interviews & Podcasts are being hailed as a great method to increase traffic to your site / blog. In my experience, that’s correct. I also love doing audio interviews to help with product / service promotion, because I can provide, generally, a unique view of the person behind the product / service. I also just love being able to find out more about the people behind the scenes, so to speak.

Recently, I have been receiving messages from people I follow thanking me for following them and then encouraging me to visit their website.  I was wondering how this is achieved, then I found TweetLater.  A neat little application that allows you to schedule your tweets, for when you’re busy, and allows you to automatically follow those who follow you.

I have a technical, sales & marketing, training background. I worked as a field service technician, contract manager, business manager and have even taught people, to teach to teach people to teach their dogs (an Instructor trainer). I have discovered that I am able to combine these skills and help people overcome “technology challenges” they may be having.

I also love the advances in technology that allow me to help people remotely because I can help them whenever they need help, not just when I can get to a phone or be able to get to their physical location. Being able to share screens, see what the other person is experiencing, show them what they should see and them assist the other person in fixing their problem is a wonderful thing!

Being a real numpty, I always wondered how Internet Marketers could afford to have a live person establish an online chat with me when I went to leave their sales page. I was amazed that someone was just waiting for me to visit their page and then try to navigate away. You see I am in Australia and most of the websites I was visiting were in the US. When I was surfing, it was still night time there.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered Virtual Smart Agent (VSA). I found out that there may not have been a live person talking to me, rather a piece of very smart code driving a fully customizable database just set up to answer my questions. When I found Virtual Smart Agent I decided to see what else was around. What I found was that, VSA was great value for having Virtual Live Chats on my web pages. VSA was available with one off payment, where some of it’s competitors had ongoing monthly fees. Read the rest of this entry »

So, following on from my interview with Brad Smith last night, I thought I would tell you about his latest giveaway event - The Economic Stimulus Giveaway. Brad has teamed with David Canham to bring 100’s of high quality, free products to you.

The idea behind the Economic Stimulus is to coincide with the annual US Government splurge to encourage spending in the US Economy, and is being run to encourage people to give away “Money Making Products”.

I had the great privilege to talk with Brad Smith last night about his journey with Giveaway Marketing, the development of Giveaway Manager 1 and Giveaway Manager 2 and the lessons he’s learnt on the journey.  In our discussion, Brad also shares his extensive knowledge to provide some very pratical suggestions on how to improve your participation in a Giveaway event and maximise your referrals, and sign ups from any event you participate in.

This interview in on Podcast at My Giveaway Event, and is well worth the listen. Enjoy….
