Internet Marketing Brainstorming!

Well, well, well, the time has gone once again for an update.
I guess I’m bad for leaving this blog in limbo ofor a while, but truth be told, I’ve been a very busy boy.

Personally and professionally, things have been going at breakneck speed, but it is now time to return to this place.
As I write this, I am now almost ready for my final level of graduation in this internet marketing game – that of product owner.

I’ve dabbled in virtually all kinds of methods online and have had quite a bit of success at it, now however I think the time has come for me to do that which I have been dreading – putting forth my methods to the world.

If you’ve read this blog, you know I’ve done everything from SEO to PPV to PPC…. I know it all. I’ve done well at it all.
But I also know I have much to share. Sharing has always been at the back of my mind, but I am ready. Several reasons, not the least of which is I have waaay too much knowledge and methods and experience for me to keep using them all.
If I sell them, I can focus on fewer things. This is what I intend to do.

Truth is I have special software I had created for me to do some of the things I write about.
I also have written eBooks about my methods I never relreased. They were writtien as my own guides/cliff notes. Yet, anyone reading them would be able to follow them.

I think It is time.

Stay tuned.
Oh for those of you who read/have read this blog, I predict that soon there will be an availability for you to sign up to be able to get my products first, or at a discount or maybe a combo of both – not sure yet.

But if you see a sign up form, opt in – it will be some good shit.

I’ve been testing some different ways to get traffic to my promotions besides PPC. I’ve had some good success, thanks to google banning me. However,I am back with them,but lesson learned was never to rely on one source of traffic or income which is why i continue to search for many free and or cheap ways to promote traffic. I found a few:

Friend Inviter
Viral Inviter
Twitter Blaster.

Frined Inviter and Viral inviter are tell-a-friend scripts on steoids. Using the same technology as Facebook you can invite (or have your traffic invite) everyone on their email account address book with a couple of click!

Friend Inviter is hosted on their servers which may or may not be risky -no idea if they can get your info. Viral Inviter is hosted on your server and is completely customizable by you.

Twitter Blast r is .. well, a twitter blaster. I don’t use twitter at all, but I know lots of peeps do, so, I decided to give it a try. I set it up to promote one of my sites, so we’ll see how it goes. I expect to go more indepth into it later, based on results.

However, Viral Inviter impresses me the most, followed by Friend Inviter. The potential for serious free traffic is there as long as your imagination is :-) More (traffic) to come hopefully.

Okay y’all, this is with a little trepidation I announce my return to the one thing that made me the most money overall: PPC. I have been away with my attempts to find friends and family projects. However, I have been unable to find the perfect one (I came close with the e-whore thing, but Craigslist & Backpage are bitches and won’t let me post at will). So, noticing my income was suffering, I decided to go back to making it all about me… for the time being anyways, and to do so, I needed to return to something I was good at. Pay Per Click marketing.

Now google had banned my adwords account about 2 years ago, so I swore off them, but I also knew how hard it was to advertise with them, so I didn’t bother. I found a few other ways to market and get traffic cheaper, albeit less consistently. Now I come back, I see things are complicated for most people. Yahoo & MSN are still fairly easy to navigate, but google is the bitch.
However, I know what to do. I dove in, and got my bearings back.
I had created macros that sped up the process for me, but I NEVER USED THEM lol.
Then I saw on the market things like “LPGEN” and “SPEED PPC”.

LPGEN is a landing page creator that creates the kinds of pages google likes – content rich, and keyword relevant for your adgroups. SPeed PPC is a program that helps create campaigns and adgroups quickly. Another similar tool is “FLash PPC”.

Well, I had ALREADY created my own versions of these. See, I already had Niche Creator, a page generator, which I use to create landing pages for any keyword. And this is what LPGen basically does. In fact Jonathan the creator is an acquaintance of mine and we met int eh niche creator forums, so LP Gen is a variation of niche creator.
Since I had it,all I needed to do was tweak it a little and not have to buy lpgen.

Then Speed PPC the campaign creator.
I created macros that took the keywords and manipulated them with excel and created the ads fo me and uploaded them into google yahoo & msn. That’s what SPeed PPC does. So without having to purchase them I had my own LPGen and SPeed PPC :-)

Took about a week to re-tweak them due to some minor changes, but I did, and…. I just uploaded my first new project a few minutes ago. Complete with tracking using Xtreme Conversions, which is still the best tracking tool out there – though it may have a slight learning curve.

While working on my friends and family finalization,I discovered an interesting site here. Why?I mean nothing spectacular right? Well if you look at the ads it’s nothing but a google adsense site. However it’s how he’s getting traffic to it that’s interesting.

I found it on backpage.com. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s on craigslist as well. Basically people search for work and see ads on the site and SOMEHOW, his ads show his adsense on it!!!! Yup… his ads on backpage somehow iframe his adsense into the ad itself… So when people click the ads on backpage… this guy gets paid. Normally I’m not too hot on adsense these days, but if you can get free traffic from Backpage & Craigslist and they click our ads…your in 100% profit.

The conversion rate must be high because they don’t have to click a link to his site first… the ads have adsense in them. that’s what’s bizarre…. Might be worth looking into and testing the duplication.

On second thoughts, upon re-visiting my backpage strategies, I remember that you used t be able to post with iframe codes. However, they stopped it due to abuse.,,…. but maybe that was only for the ‘dating’ section. maybe it’s still allowed for the other sections, and this guy is iframing his adsense – from his site, into the ad. I bet that’s what it is….

From my last post,i had some issues I was not aware of in the e-whoring department. It taught me just how much mis-information is out there when it comes to aking money with certain techniques. i often wonder if people go out of their way to leave ot the details that make things work. Luckily, I was able to fill in the gaps with lots of experimentation. I finally figured out how to send and receive emails from craigslist without worrying about posting the emails in the ads – which gets your ads deleted & flagged quicker.

THis opens up possibilities. WIth the test run I did, I already made about $20 bucks with an hour of “work”, with no ad spend. Now it’s been set up to where I can repeat the process every couple of days. If this keeps going, then may have finally found the friends and family resolution.

Th next thing I need to do, is use the same format to test out “e-jobbing”. Hopefully more on that to come soon.

LOL. So while I’ve been experimenting with my C.A.M.M. with some limited success, I returned to a method I had thought about for CPA income: “e-whoring”. WHat this basically is, is getting commissions for getting horny males to sin upt to adult sites for web cams ad the like.

The popular method involves getting on instant messenger and pretending to be a chick while getting men to sign up to vie pictures/cams of these ‘models’. Of course it pays a hefty commission for each sign up. I dismissed this method a while ago, after testing it for a couple of days. Several reasons: It’s not automated, and chatting with members of my gender isn’t my idea of a good time. I was actually going to have “friends & family” do it. But in the end, it’s too silly and tedious.
However, I figured out other ways which involved craigslist and autoresponse emails. Well I read about them shall I say, but never tested them due to my abhorrence of Craigslist. The idea being that fake ads generate responses that receive an auto-response with a link for them to sign up for a dating site.

As I tested it I wondered why I was getting no sign ups. I JUST figured out that craigslist sends the emails and if you auto-response, they are bounced, and the sender never receives them. Great. So now it’s time to find a way to get the emails and somehow respond to them and include a link and do it automatically….

Of course I have created a macro to assist with the bi-daily postings necessary to keep the system working. This I can outsource to friends & fam if it produces income. I just need to solve the email issue…

Well, as a follow up to my CAMM2.0 post, I’ve been wrestling with a few things.
I will definitely have a “product” out. On how to make money with one of the methods I’ve mentioned on here… that’s what CAMM is all about. Again, CAMM = CPA Automatic Money Machine.
So, I have a couple of these in mind.

I may decide to sell it as a full product eventually. But not yet. I will first give it away for free :-) Yes, free.
I may have a link here…. or I might not. If I do,it will be by opt in.
I may offers people a choice.. pay for it, or get it free by doing me a little favor.

Anyways, because I want people to succeed with it, I wrote the PDF, created a few macros, and…realizing some of it might need clarification, I created a video on how to install the package.
It took me a while to create a 5 minute video lol.
But with jing.com, I was able to do it quite easily.

My first screen capture instructional video…. never thoughts I’d do one. But now I did… people can follow along easily.
I think I will test giving the product away free. If it works like it should, I should make decent money and so should the people using it.
If it doesn’t,I’ll introduce the free or pay option. If that fails, I’ll sell it on maybe clickbank.
We shall see. Still need to do a part 2 of the CAMM system, and another video.
This is exiting… my first ‘product’.

OK…. What have I bee up to? A lot. I need a clone.
I’ve had a few distractiions since my last post(s), but I think I have a new project to add to the fire.
FIrstly, Pay Per View Income has been working up to a point. However it is slowing down because quite frankly, the traffic sources are mostly frowned upon and they are discovered no matter how I tried to prevent it.

So, it was time to re-group. I have now decided to go back to a formely successful strategy. The infamous CAMM. (CPA Automatic Money Machine). the problem with the previous incarnation was that toomany people tried to rip ME off!!! It just shows the patheticities of human nature. If people think they can get away with cheating and making money at it, they will.

So, as it stands, I came across a similar way to run the project through a WSO ebook. Very similar to what I had already done except…. they spent no money to do it.
Lightbulb. No money = they cannot rip me off… lol.
So, I am re-tooling CAMM to become CAMM 2.0 which gets CPA income without having to pay anything for it. I think it will work. It will take a LOT of set up work, but I have it all mapped out. My improvement will be that it should be completely automatic with no intervention from me once it is set in motion.

If I complete it, it will be my greatest achievement. Additionally, I believe I can incorporate part of it as a friends and family project (which has also been difficult to maintain). If so, then I will be able to set up friends and family to make some money under me, for free, and virally ;-).

I will update with success or failure depending on how it goes.
