Before that, keep your wallet… it’s FREE.

Install it in your FireFox browser and go to the Clickbank Marketplace. You’ll be amazed at what you see!

One cool thing it does is, it tells you whether a product is worth promoting with SEO traffic.

Promoting any product with SEO traffic will always convert into more sales when the visitors are searching for the “product name keyword”.

It’s NO secret… because the visitors are already in the buying mode! Except the one problem with this is knowing WHICH products are worth spending your time doing the SEO work for.

And we all know there are tons of affiliate marketing tools out there… but the problem with these tools are they do TOO MANY things and are super-clunky…

… yet they don’t do 1 specific function extremely well. The 1 specific function I’m referring to is the simple act of showing you how competitive any product-name keyword is. (i.e. how difficult OR easy it will be to rank that product name keyword in Google)

Anyway, watch the video at the link below and grab the free software! The FREE version of CB Surge is worth more than $47 on it’s own…

Max Banner Ads

Basically there are two main criteria for the plugin I’m going to chose…

• Provides flexibility in banner placement

• Able to track the performance of my banner

But there’s more to it when I took a serious look in this free plugin.

Max Banner Ads not only gives me statistics like banner impressions and click through rates to let me correctly track how good my banner is doing, it also lets me place my banners in almost anywhere in my blog.

Of course, there are other plugins which can also perform similar task like MBA, but I bet they’ll never allow you add up to 10 banner ads and then rotate them in the same allocated zone.

Let’s say you want display 6 rectangular banners right at the end of your blog post, but having all of them shown will take up a lot of unnecessary space, and it’ll look untidy to your readers.

That’s why you need MBA to help you rotate the banners by simply telling it to do so inside your admin.

There are many other great features which you can find with the plugin, so go ahead and download the powerful WordPress plugin Max Banner Ads by MaxBlogPress if you want to place banners on your blog easily and in any way you like.

There must be some reason why certain ebook writers are successful and others are not.

In other words, why do some authors make high six-figure incomes (even seven-figures!) and others barely make enough to cover their hosting fees?

There must be some reason for the difference in level of success, right?

There is.

In fact, there are three “reasons” why that I want to share with you now. I’ve used the word “K.E.Y.” as an acronym to reveal these three elements of successful ebook publishing.

1. K = KEEP it concise.

One of the biggest mistakes ebook writers make is starting their project with the idea in mind that their ebook must be a certain number of pages in length.

That is, they assume the ebook should be 50 pages or 100 pages or even 200 pages in order to be desirable to consumers.

Wrong. Ding. Thanks for playing.

Much more important than QUANTITY is QUALITY. Almost every potential customer in your target market is considerably more interested in learning something useful than they are reading a bunch of commentary that has little or no real value to them.

The ability to concisely (yet comprehensively) share content that is practical is a must if you want to be successful in the information business. No fluff. No filler. No fat. Just the meat.

That’s what consumers want. Especially today in our fast-paced, instant, I-want-it-now society.

And chances are you are much more likely to write a 30 page manual and get it done than you are to slave over trying to measure up to a 200 page masterpiece.

Your first key to success is “keep it concise”. Share what you need to share in the least amount of pages as possible. It doesn’t have to be the great American novel. This isn’t Hemingway.

2. E = ENJOY yourself.

I simply must mention that if you enjoy your “work” then you are exponentially more likely to complete your ebooks than those who reluctantly or grudgingly write.

Seriously, don’t underestimate what I’m saying here. You’ll get much more done as a writer by having fun with your subject matter.

That’s the beauty of information publishing. YOU get to pick the topic. A topic of interest – of passion – to you as the author. Something you find enjoyable, even exhilarating.

To be sure, you want to choose topics that are in demand and have a ready-made audience awaiting who are willing to purchase them. But, at the same time, you can look for those marketable topics that appeal to your interests and expertise.

I don’t care how “profitable” a subject may be, I’d never take it on as a project of mine unless I got some sense of satisfaction or enjoyment in writing about it.

Instead, look for those things that you are already talking about anyway. And then write what you’ve been talking about.

3. Y = YIELD results.

Finally, I must exhort you to “yield results”. That is, you simply must stick to it and finish the job.

I cannot tell you how many people that I’ve met online who struggle with the affliction “short-of-the-finish-line-it is”.

They begin running the race with gusto. They pick their topic like it was a Nike outfit. They outline their ebook like they just heard the starting gun fire. They come up with ideas to include in their work like they were sprinting down the track.

And when they round the first corner, they start slowing down. Before they know it, they’re up in the stands watching others cross the finish line.

That’s why I am adamant about telling you the golden rule of ebook content: Never start something you can’t finish in 30 days.

With any new ebook you are planning on writing, choose the topic and outline it in such a way that you can complete the content within one calendar month. Anything that goes
beyond that period of time is likely going to be discarded somewhere past the starting gate and before the finish line.

It’s important that you set for your goal a reasonable, reachable amount of pages for your ebook … such as 30 pages. Then, divide that goal number of pages into your 30 days. In this example, it would mean writing just ONE page per day (very realistic!) for 30 days and your ebook will be completed.

Victory! The finish line!

Certainly there are a wide variety of other “keys” to being successful as an ebook writer (choosing the right topics, learning to outline well, brainstorming ideas, marketing, etc.) but these three form a solid foundation for you to build upon as you continue to learn more about information publishing.

K = KEEP it concise.
E = ENJOY yourself.
Y = YIELD results.

Looking forward to see you becoming one of the outstanding ebook writers!

It’s called the “Mining Money Online” – a radical system created by Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton that is hands down the most understandable and easy-to-follow roadmap to make money online with proven and time-tested tactics you simply won’t get elsewhere.

Of course, you will have heard this kinda’ thing a gazillion times before and to be perfectly honest so have I…

But after checking this out, I can give you rock solid confirmation that this is the real deal, especially if you want to replicate a simple system that can generate MASSIVE affiliates commissions.

Let me just throw some figures your way…

$6,513.04 in one day

$153,426.72 in 6 weeks

$526,422.83 in 7 months.

…and the crazy thing is, these numbers were generated without ANY help from JV partners or even an email list!

How was it done?

» Check Out The Full Story Here!

This is a VERY VERY different ball game…

In fact, if you’ve ever wondered why most affiliates struggle to produce a red cent in profit whilst others effortlessly rake in unfathomable Clickbank commissions seemingly with their hands tied behind their back, then sit up and take note, because you’re about to find out why.

The Best Thing?

You need no experience at all because they take you through the entire process on screen AND give you all the tools to actually make it happen.

The Weird Thing?

It’s frankly bizarre that they’re revealing this stuff. If it were me, I would’ve kept my mouth FIRMLY shut for sure. These guys do 7 figures a year online consistently and generate far bigger numbers than virtually anyone else on the planet. Point being…if you’re a suffering affiliate, you NEED this material. Badly.

The Bad News…

There are only very limited spots available and judging by how fast this has spread around the net, they could go ultra fast… possibly in the next few hours. It has literally just gone live though so you should be in time, you can’t afford to be left out of the loop with this one…

There’s rumor that this new site will soon take over Facebook, but I think that’s still too early to determine right now.

After clicking on the confirmation link, I was brought to the sign-in page… Notice the simple design on the page, I always like that simplicity Google had, no fancy pictures or disturbing ads on the front page.

When you log in, you’ll see that the layout and navigation are very straight forward, this makes it easy for any person of any age to understand how to use.

I’ll probably use this service for business purpose, whereas I can continue to use Facebook to connect only with my friends.

The question is, how exactly can we  fully make use of this new wave to blend in and help us elevate our online business?

If you have any ideas, do share… Thanks!

Volume 1: Niche research and set-up

The first thing I like about this volume is that John starts off by explaining his results. I can’t stand it when someone is promoting a product and has no results to back it up. He has the results, and he has the system to back it up.

The main focus of this volume is how to research a niche that will be profitable. He walks you through finding out what you like and then matching that with a profitable market. John walks you through step-by-step and provides loads of resources to help you properly research your potential market. Just reading volume 1 can save you from wasting your time on a market that will provide no cash.

Volume 2: Product Creation

This volume is all about how to actually create your product. John starts out by explaining how to put together a proper eBook including the proper order of all your headings. He provides different options of how you can write your material as well as where to find resources for ghostwriters. He even provides a link to see if the content you get from a freelancer is plagiarized or not. Volume 2 is also a great resource to help you get started if you are stuck.

Volume 3: Marketing Your Product

Volume 3 will be all about how to market your product. Here he will show you things like how to drive traffic with article and email marketing. John goes into great detail of how to write articles that bring in visitors while still being you. He also explains the importance of building a permission-based subscriber list, which I like because I feel this is the most important of an internet business.

Volume 4: Joint Venture and Affiliate Mastery

If you would like to know how to build relationships and JV partners than look no further than volume 4. Here John will explain the types of joint ventures as well as whom to do JV’s with. I like how John explains where to find JV partners and how to actually do a JV and build the relationship. Use the power of JV and affiliates, and with volume 4 you will have all the resources needed to do so.

Volume 5: Entrepreneur’s Mindset

I would argue that one’s mindset is the key to success, both in business and in life. In volume 5 John talks about what it takes to succeed online. He talks about the importance of a healthy mindset as well as how important it is to find a great mentor. He also writes about how to beat the odds and the keys to laying a solid foundation. I would recommend that people read this chapter first since most people lack the correct mindset needed to succeed
