Reality #5:  It’s easy to make money online.
Don’t get me wrong here, no one’s going to be throwing cash at you, but earning money online is not as difficult as some make it out to be.  Here’s the big secret to making money, online or offline: provide value.  If you don’t have anything of value [...]

I am struck by how ubiquitous the headline that begins “Who else wants [X]“ has become. Take a look at this Google search for the phrase “who else wants”: 640,000 results. Yes, that’s right. A few thousand internet copywriters (and I use that term loosely) have saturated the ‘net with more [...]

Here are a few more plugins that you may find useful if you’ve decided to build your landing pages / sites using Wordpress. I don’t use all of them all the time, but they each serve a useful purpose.
Cloak Affiliate Links - This plugin is necessary if you care about how your links look [...]

Just a quick follow up to my previous post about article marketing.
The traffic does, in fact, convert. Yesterday I recorded my first affiliate commission based solely on free advertising methods. Now, I’m not going to paint the town red with the $20 I earned from that conversion, but it does prove a point: [...]

Over the last couple weeks I have been experimenting with article marketing as an alternative to pure PPC advertising.

Yesterday I spent $11.56 on Google AdWords. I converted two sales totaling $67.80. Final profit to me was $56.24.
I have paused my (former) primary campaign indefinitely. It’s a niche in the financial industry which is very competitive; too competitive for me. I knew how hard it would be to be successful [...]

Yesterday I spent $33 in AdWords ads, and I made back $48 for a total of $15 profit. The profit margin would have been higher if I was paying closer attention to the bid prices in one of my ads - and if Google didn’t have such delayed timing in their reports. But [...]

I’ve done a lot of landing page design (and re-design, and re-re-design) recently, and I’ve come up with a nice list of tools and plugins to use when constructing an affiliate landing page.
From my experience, landing pages don’t need to be nearly as complex as a blog. I find myself disabling a lot [...]

My initial attempts in 2005 were haphazard at best; despite my attempts, I utterly failed to capitalize on the growing trend of online marketing. I eventually gave up so that I could focus on a real-world sales [...]
