Many of you may have already seen the email which was sent out earlier this afternoon with details of a brand new product just released to the public, it's called "The Info Product Model" or TIPM for short.
The concept centers around something which isn't at all new, and that's creating information products online for profit. But where this product differs is that it provides the strategy for researching, creating and marketing your info products online. Furthermore TIPM comes complete with a simple built for purpose peice of software which allows you to easily put together a simple website which includes a front end sales funnel and a secure backend where you can control access through the integrated Clickbank sales system.
Now, as I've already said, the concept of creating niche info products isn't new, and I'm sure many of us have purchased Read the rest of this entry »

Today I'm taking the day off from work to celebrate my 27th birthday .... the big two seven ... now I'm starting to feel old :)! But not only that it's also the 2nd birthday of my blog. Just thinking about this whilst writing the post really makes me think about how quickly the last two years have gone and how much has changed in my life since then, especially in relation to the work aspect of my life.
Just 12 months ago I was working hard to keep down a full time job as well as build up my business online, in fact this time last August I was working on a plan to enable me to leave work and take over the running of Affiliate Wizard. Since then I've been running and developing the business fairly successfully and enjoying more and more time for myself and my lovely partner, Kate. Time was something I didn't have much of back then, just reading a guest post which Kate wrote 18 months ago bought back a few memories. It just shows that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
So, as a way of spreading some of the birthday cheer and celebrating my 27th birthday, as well as the 2nd birthday of my blog, I would like to offer a SPECIAL LIMITED TIME OFFER of $27 OFF my two best selling products for 2 days only (48 hours)!
Simply enter coupon code "BIRTHDAY" into the coupon field during checkout.

The act of outsourcing tasks which you don't have the time to do or don't need to be doing can be a great way of expanding your business a little quicker than you would without outsourcing. I've been outsourcing quite a few things over the last six months and it is enabling me to concentrate in the more "important" aspects of things whilst still being able to grow the business.
Almost anything can be outsourced but it will usually be dependant on your own business plan, model and financial budget, in Affiliate Website Building in particular there are a large number of things. In fact pretty much everything, apart from initial research, can be outsourced. Probably one of the most common tasks Read the rest of this entry »
Outsourcing content for your websites is a fantastic way of building your business in a much quicker and more efficient way, content outsourcing is something I've being doing for a while now and it makes my life so much easier. In fact when you are building BIG content rich websites in a niche you have very little knowledge about, it often becomes an alomost impossible challenge to complete all of the content yourself to a high standard.
The main place I use for my content is TextBroker.com, some of you may or may not have used them in the past yourselves. The thing I love about TextBroker is that I can submit an order to the community for one article or 30 articles and have the content back within a couple of days. But the one thing which I hated was having to login to TextBroker to manage my orders and copy the content across from TextBroker to WordPress, especially when my site contained 40 reviews or more. It was for this very reason I decided to develop a WordPress plugin which would make this process both quicker and easily, and so WP TextBroker was born.

Completing any keyword research often seems more difficult than it really has to be, I absolutely LOVE Micro Niche Finder simply because it makes life easier, you have so many options to choose from when it comes to filtering out results and examining the viability of keywords in more detail. But you really do need to learn to step out of the comfort zone of tools like MNF which effectively do all the work for you, whats more, you will find that by looking in places other than the results presented by keyword tools you will get more niche ideas, better keyword ideas and also a better understanding on the viability and structure of the niche you are looking to work in.
On a day to day basis you will see keywords floating in front of your face in many places across the web, but many of these "keyword goldmines" are often neglected as a place to find some excellent keyword and niche ideas.
To name a few, the following are just a handful of places you can look both before Read the rest of this entry »
My apologies for the lack of posting recently, I haven't disappeared I've just been pretty busy with other aspects of my business which have been taking me away from the blog, I'm going to try my best to get back to posting here more regularly.
I just wanted to do a quick post today about a tool which I've found useful myself in the past when I didn't have access to image editing programs like Macromedia Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop, both of which can be quite costly if you only need them for creating website logos.
The tool is an online editor which enables you to create pretty cool looking logos/graphics for your affiliate websites, it's completely free to use and doesn't require you to download Read the rest of this entry »
After I released the FREE Avantlink.com plugin last week I had over 120 downloads and I was quite shocked that so many people had already being looking for something to allow them to do what AvantPress does. So due to it's high popularity I decided to add support for Avantlink.com to our hugely successful Price Comparison Plugin for WordPress, CompariPress.
I sent out the updated version to our ever growing list of users just a few days a go and have so far received excellent feedback. The Avantlink.com network contains mostly sporting and outdoor type products such as golfing, cycling and football, so can be a great earner if your in any sporting niches.
What this now means is that CompariPress will allow you to display Affiliate products from SIX MAJOR Affiliate Networks/Programs, meaning you can literally access products from pretty much any niche you are looking to promote, the best thing is you are no longer restricted to just eBay.

A couple of days a go I mentioned a new training program which had been released by Brian G Johnson called Halloween Super Affiliate, a 12 week coaching program which takes you by the hand and leads you through the same step by step process which has enabled Brian to earn thousands of dollars for the last 6 years over the Halloween period. Just last year he earned over $20,000 in Halloween commissions and is set to double that amount this year. Brian announced yesterday that he has almost reached capacity and will be closing the doors to his 2010 coaching program very very soon.
I know there were a few of you still on the fence about his program so I've put together a list of Frequently Asked Questions.

Over the last few months I've been placing more and more videos into the content of my Affiliate Websites, no matter which platform they have been built with, but one of the biggest challenges I always found was which video WordPress plugin to use. In the past I've always used Smart Youtube and whilst this is a fantastic little plugin for what it is, it never had everything I quite wanted from a video plugin. After some more digging I finally came across this little beauty:
Video Sidebar Widgets
This is probably one of the best FREE Video WordPress plugins I've come across and it's now officially my most favourite! As the name suggests it allows you to post flash videos and videos from video sharing sites directly into your WordPress sidebar using widget functionality AND it enables you to place videos within your pages/posts, just like Read the rest of this entry »
I recently wanted to promote some sporting products from Avantlink.com within one of my WordPress websites and I couldn't find a plugin to do it so I decided to create my own. AvantPress is a simple Avantlink Plugin for WordPress which allows you to display live product listings from Avantlink.com directly within your WordPress posts or pages, you can see an example below:
Products are displayed by placing a simple piece of shortcode where you want your listings to display. The following options are available to refine your results:
- Keywords (positive & negative)
- Number of products
- Minimum price
- Maximum price
- Merchant ID(s)
- Items on sale
You can also choose to display:
- Short product description
- Long product description
- Abbreviated product description
The plugin is free so it's not hugely fancy but it served the purpose I wanted it for and I hope you get some benefit from it. Simply enter your name and email into the fields below and you will receive the plugin via an email attachment.
