Neil Shearing’s Internet Marketing Strategies

Adrian, of easybiztools.com fame, has released another piece of quality software.

(yes, I’m jealous! Where does he get all these great ideas from?)

Affiliateshield is for affiliates who are serious or semi-serious about their affiliate income. Perhaps they’re advertising in ezines, on PayPerClick search engines, or are simply monetizing their website traffic.

If you’re one of those serious, or semi-serious affiliates, couldn’t you really use some software that protected your affiliate revenue?

AffiliateShield monitors ALL your affiliate links in real time. If it detects that the vendor’s site is down OR if the vendor has switched to another payment processor, it will:

Automatically alert you via email
Automatically switch over to your backup link

Imagine… instead of your visitors being sent to the vendor’s site that has gone down, they are automatically redirected to an alternative website of which you are an affiliate, selling a similar product.

Your visitor goes to a live website, credit card in hand, make their purchase and you get the affiliate commission!

If protecting your affiliate income is important to you, check out Affiliateshield and its “daft” price of just $47!

If you missed out on the Adwords Empire course… perhaps the price tag was a little high at $497, there’s good news. Fabian has just released a 2-DVD set where he explains the core basics of using keywords for building traffic and profits. He’s called it Keyword Mastery.

If you need to master the basics of digging for lucrative keywords, Keywords Mastery is a nice introductory course… and at just $77, the price fits too.

Oh, and sales are limited to 500 copies from what I understand.

As you know, I love profiting from OPE (other people’s efforts)!

I’m basically a totally lazy guy. If there’s a “hard” way to do things, and an “easy” way to do things, I’ll be the guy looking for the “super easy” way.

When I’ve found a “super easy” way to do something, I boil it down to a “step by step” manner and let you guys know about it… either as a free articles or blog posts, reports or as paid products depending on how long it took me to research the information and turn it into something I can share.

My favorite way to use OPE at the moment is using articles that other people write. I like writing MY thoughts and ideas down. I don’t much like writing articles on patio furniture or window cleaning products. So I get articles with Private Label Rights (PLR), meaning I can use them pretty much as I like as long as I don’t resell them.

I really like Article Underground because of the 400 articles per month and the really cool blog announcement system. Mike is a great guy too… he’s always adding movies, forum posts and more blogs to his system. Just the other day he added another PageRank 6 blog to the system…

As you may know from previous member emails, I have been adding some new announcement blogs. One blog, www.(edited).us has already been added bringing up the total number of AU blogs to 23.

You guys have been doing a terrific job of posting quality on topic sports announcements to that blog! Thank you!

Today I am adding the 24th Announcement Blog for AU Members.

This one is a PageRank 6 music blog. It is for on-topic announcements ONLY which must be music related.

The blog home page is www.(edited).com

When you’re a member of Article Underground, you can just log in as admin to any of the 24 blogs and make a post which links to your website for an instant backlink and some pagerank. As I said, a very cool system… and that’s in addition to the 400 articles per month.

Mike let me know there are just a few AU memberships available at the moment… click here to grab your place…

I’m also really enjoying PLRPro… they offer articles in bundles of 40 around ELEVEN different niches each month, complete with graphics and multiple language versions of the articles. The articles also come in HTML, DOC and TXT… and you also get the keyword research for each niche and a list of potential affiliate programs.

As you can see, PLRPro is more oriented towards building 11 separate sites each month… one for each niche.

I’ve been really impressed with Marc and Daniel who run PLRPro… they’re adding incredible features all the time… there’s now free hosting for your sites, a 200-member limit for each pack of 11 niches (Article Underground has a limit of 300 members per set of 400 articles), a “VRE Handbook” which was meant to be a ‘guide’ but ended up being a 181 page mammoth that shows you the process you should be following, plus members-only videos and more. I also remember that they have a promotional system for helping your build links to your sites, but I haven’t fully checked that out.

Finally, I’ve also discovered an old friend is in the PLR business too. Kathy Burns (now Burns-Millyard) used to help me manage my affiliate program. During that time she wrote the affiliate program newsletter, so I know Kathy can write quality articles. Check out her Niche PLR Article Packages. You get 20 articles per niche, with a limit of 35 sales per set of niche articles… all for $14.95! (most have already sold out)

Phew! If you’re getting PLR content from anywhere else.. either membership sites or one-off purchases, please post a comment and let me know what you think of the service and its quality… it looks like I’ll be compiling a list of the best.

Hmmm… emails I received on the same day talking about squeeze pages…

From Joel Comm…

“And you know what else the squeeze page is? It’s the sound of a cash register drawer going ka-CHING!”

From Michael Campbell…

“Giving your email address just to get access to a crummy sales page, may be a thing of the past.

A brand new service that just launched, provides an email address that expires after just 10 minutes.”

( link for short duration email addresses… 10minutemail.com )

So are squeeze pages dying?

What do you think?
