And in anticipation of the usual excess number of Daves that are bound to pop by, this is for you...
"We have worked long and hard developing two accreditation courses for members here at Wealthy Affiliate. Although we have an abundance of resources here at WA that outline both Article Marketing and PPC, we felt that Lesson & Task based courses could really take someone from a newbie-intermediate to a subject matter expert.
We are offering a one week introductory offer to anyone that is looking to become an expert in the following areas:
(1) Article Marketing & SEO (2) Pay Per Click Marketing (Google Adwords, YSM, MSN)
Many people struggle online because they are either misinformed or have information overload. They may have some of the right knowledge and some of the wrong knowledge, but when they are mixed, failure is inevitable.
We have spent the last 4 months and 100’s of hours developing our newest accreditation courses! They are task based and will walk you through everything you need to know to succeed with these marketing strategies.
They are based off of the EXACT processes we have followed to earn millions of dollars over the course of the last 7 years online."
There are two courses available:-
The courses are not free but they come with some great bonuses.
Each course is, for a very short time only, $67 each or $104 if you buy them together. Then they are going up in price...to what I don't know yet but you've got less than a week to get them at that price. Course 1 - Article Marketing & SEO BONUS 1: A copy of Who Loves Money (no cost) - $77 value BONUS 2: A copy of Inside the List (no cost) - $67 value BONUS 3: 100 PLR Articles BONUS 4: 1000 Hot Article Keywords BONUS 5: Access to Lifetime Updates BONUS 6: Full Support (of course) Course 2 - Pay Per Click Marketing (Google Adwords, YSM, MSN) BONUS 1: A copy of Beating Adwords (no cost) - $67 Value BONUS 2: A copy of Inside the List (no cost) - $67 Value BONUS 3: Access to Lifetime Updates BONUS 4: Full Support (of course)
IMO at the current price you might as well say the courses are FREE. K & C admit that much of the information is already in WA but these are real step by step courses guiding you be the hand.
Well worth the investment I'd say!

A funny thing happened on my way back from the pub on Friday night. Now, these stories USED to end with... 'and in the ensuing riot...' But I don't drink any more and have stopped falling in hedges on my way home so...
This actually happened when I got back from the pub safe and sound.
Nothing of note on TV so I had a quick look around on the PC, as you do...
And WOW! An explosion of hits to the AffiliateNicheClub site, tons of sign-ups to the list and loads of sales. WTF? Ah ha! Me thinks my evil 'Eye of Sauron' vid resonates with the Friday night crowd. He, He!
But no... it was an affiliate, an affiliate who had sent a mail out to their list and just happened to mention our latest niche report....and POW!
A mail that I guess took a couple of minutes to send out.
So, a great job all round!!
But what if YOU ain't got a list. Well, you can refer to our free bonus guide 'ANC Annihilator' In there you'll find everything you need to get one started...
What else can you do? Get in those forums (with your ANC sig link)... update those blog posts... get a lens going...
In short. Small steps...Into Action!
Dave B
PS. To be an ANC affiliate, you need to be an active members so check out the site ASAP.
Just wanted to tell you about a couple of major recent enhancements at AffiliateNicheClub in case you missed them...
Annual Fee Option: Maybe this suits you, maybe not. But it's available if you want it! You can now join ANC for as little as $7 per month!And if you wish to promote ANC you can now get $47 per sign up! Check out the site for more details!
New Bonuses:-
- The Eye of Sauron.The Dark Arts of Forum Marketing
If you think forum marketing is just about adding your sig link to forum posts... think again!Real life example...watch the Dark Lord in action... you will NOT have seen anything like this before! For a sneak peek click here...
For Member / Affiliates:-
ANC Annihilator II: This is our guide to help those members who wish to promote ANC get a head start. But, in fact, it will help you promote any product in the Affiliate Marketing niche! (Recently updated to include more advice on forum marketing and marketing our Annual Fee option.)
Currency Calamity! Not so Sterling after all...
The global downturn took a turn for the worse here in the UK in the last week or two with Sterling taking a pounding against the dollar...and the dollar's set for more of a pounding...
All doom and gloom!
Not necessarily... see, not long back £1 pretty much equaled $2. Now, it's closer to $1.5.
So, let's look at a very crude example. Let's say your monthly income from promoting WA is $300. So, a few months back when converted to £ that would have given you £150 in your UK Bank account. (I'm ignoring charges for simplicity's sake.)
Now that $300 will give you £200! Bit of a difference that. But your WA fee is more expensive (along with anything else you have to buy in $) right?
So just keep some $$$ in your PayPal account. (It's easy to set up multiple currencies in PayPal)
Now, I'm not wanting to encourage you to become currency speculators but that's a simplistic way of doing a practical thing and I guess most of you already do that anyway.
It's the little things that help though in times like these.
Here's another one... a good few month's back Thad put up a great post in DUK about the opportunities that are there in a bad economic situation.
A short time back I turned that into an Ezine which you can see here... (some of you may have seen this already...I often forget where I put things)
Just thought I'd let you in on developments at AffiliateNicheClub , 'cause there's been a ton of things added since we first launched...
Niche Reports: There's 3 now in total and one main one will be added each month. These are the 'cake' of ANC but check out the icing!...
We already have more 'bonus' niche reports in the pipeline! These will just keep on coming... as and when we come up with them. (Thad loves doing these, so expect plenty.)
Bonuses:-
- Niche Nemesis. In this report we cover in general how to identify and test a niche and then how to target your niche using both the free & paid methods.The guidance in this report applies to any niche and not just the one we are focusing on in a particular month.
- Real Life Case Study. In this report we cover a real life case study of an actual campaign Thad and I ran... and you see everything... Market Research, The Campaign Structure, The Adwords Campaign and The Results.
For Member / Affiliates:-
ANC Annihilator: This is our guide to help those members who wish to promote ANC get a head start. But, in fact, it will help you promote any product in the Affiliate Marketing niche!
Rebrandable Reports: Remember, that free sample Niche Report you get just for checking out the site. Well, how about being able to change all the affiliate links in that to your own? A great way to start a list or send as a gift to your existing list. And you can of course use it to promote any of the products listed in the free sample Niche Report.
Oh! and whisper this one quietly...'The Eye of Sauron'...it's live and it's happening right now! It's dark and it's...errr...kinda spooky!
So, stick around...one more cool bit of news to come real soon...
One Week Marketingis a COMPLETE system of doing article marketing, how to get the most traffic out of what you do, and how to get it to convert.
It's written by a Wealthy Affiliate buddy of mine called Jennifer (PotPieGirl) and she really knows her stuff.
It's VERY action and strategy oriented, delivered in a crystal clear way that anyone can follow and put to work right away for free. Jennifer puts tons of effort into making sure you aren't left in the dark and have a focused picture of exactly what to do next.
Also included is a 130+ page Case Study called "A Conversation With Nick". A genuine 'one to one' coaching session Jennifer had with a guy who she took by the hand, and he started making sales within the first week! Gold Dust!
Are you reading the same headlines as I am? Are you in fear of losing your job, your home?...
Will the latest bail out of toxic debt by the Fed work? I don't know the answer but the thing is, we are at the center of the biggest financial tornado the world has ever seen.
The very death of capitalism!!??
First, let me tell you, you are well placed, if you are take action!
Thad produced a great post towards the end of our time in DUK. I have posted it as an Ezine and you can view it here:- "Niche Marketing in a Bad Economy"
And here's another thought...
What has to be one of THE best niches in the current scenario... 'MAKE MONEY ONLINE'. That's what people are gonna be searching on...
You sit right in the eye of the storm and you can, not only ride it, but use it to your fullest advantage. Wealthy Affiliate is a 'MAKE MONEY ONLINE' product...
We've installed it on all our stuff and are blown away by what they're delivering for free.
Does the same thing most paid keyword tracking tools do and then some.
Pinpoint sales, merchant clickthrus, automatically add tracking id's, etc. right down to the keyword level for all your campaigns (across multiple PPC and affiliate networks) right in one cool and very slick interface. You can even watch what a visitor is doing on your site LIVE at any given moment.
Are you struggling finding something profitable to promote?
The key is to understand who makes up that niche and why they have a particular need or desire then reach out and connect with them and promote products that they are desperate to have.
Well, Thad and I have teamed up again to form the AffiliateNicheClub as we recognize that many affiliate marketers, whether brand new or experienced, skimp on the initial niche market research when looking for something profitable to promote.
Each month we will produce a monthly report focusing on a specific niche, breaking down the who, the why and the what...in addition we'll provide a list of targeted keywords and suggestions on the best ways to target the niche.
You will:-
Gain a valuable insight into a specific niche and also learn how to apply this methodology to any niche.
Find out how to locate those 'hot' buttons that will convert interested 'searchers' into confirmed buyers.
Find out different ways to test a niche and then how to grow and expand your campaigns.
Find out the best ways to conduct keyword research.
Find out how to select and promote the products that really sell.
Just for checking us out at affiliatenicheclub.com we'll send you a free sample Niche Report!
Then if you decide to join us, you will immediately receive your first exclusive Niche Report AND a further free bonus...our 'Niche Nemesis' guide which will help you identify, test and target any niche!
Dave B
PS. Remember, just for checking us out at affiliatenicheclub.com we'll send you a free sample Niche Report!
PPS. Oh! I almost forgot, if you do join us, you can also become an Affiliate and promote the AffiliateNicheClub yourself.
A couple of posts back I mentioned that K & C over at Wealthy Affiliates were going to be revealing a $1,000,000 / year niche...
Well, yesterday they laid everything out... it's the 'Weight Loss' market and they've provided everything you'll need to get started and make some serious moola!
Keywords, ready-made websites to use, landing pages...essentially everything done for you!
Well, I think it's pretty awesome...and is probably the closest thing you'll ever get to having a profitable campaign handed to you on a plate.
Taken with the guide it's as close to a case study as you are likely to get.
Log in or sign up to check it out and get started yourself:
First the Ugly. How do you like my new avatar? It's funny I always wanted a skinhead when I was younger but my mum wouldn't let me. (UK guys of a certain age will know why). Now, age dictates it.
Anyway, the Bad (and old) news is Thad and I closed Destination Unknown last month.
For those that don't know, Thad and I teamed up in April 2007 and formed bigcatskillz.com to work together on AM projects. The vast majority are outside of the Internet Marketing area altogether but in September 2007 we launched Destination Unknown to give people the chance to get real hands on coaching by watching over our shoulders as we ran real world live marketing campaigns.
We had a blast of a time doing it and best of all we were able to help several of our members create their own successful campaigns and launch them on the path to the kind of freedom being a full-time Affiliate Marketer brings.
Why? Thad and I decided that, because of the hands-on, time-consuming approach we delivered in DUK ...we simply couldn't afford to continue to offer the level of service we wanted to.
Whilst we love helping people, our main businesses are outside of the internet marketing area and unfortunately DUK just took too much time away from our own niche marketing businesses. In other words, we literally couldn't afford to continue without significantly raising the fee. And we were just not prepared to do that.
But we are still determined to help... so here's the Good news...
We've been thinking and we have found, both in our own campaigns and in our experiences with helping others that there is a fundamental key to success in IM... one that many people fail to carry out in anything like enough detail. And if you skimp on this the chances are you will not be able to create sustainable successful campaigns.
And we are now working flat out on how best we can simply and easily pass on this expertise to everyone...and you guys will be the first to hear about it.
We aim to go live real soon so watch this space. This is not going to be a DUK mark II but I promise you it will benefit everyone. And I also promise you that the price will be so low you will think we have taken leave of our senses!
That's all for now...more later...
Dave B
PS.
Even more good news...
The new product will have an affiliate program...
Fed up with all the 'bad news' Hi, I'm not talking about the 'real world' bad news...the credit crunch...the price of oil...conflicts in all corners of the globe. I mean that's real bad news right?
No, I mean the tons of mails you've probably been getting from the so called 'Gurus' plugging their latest stuff. Well, they've hit on the idea that if you head up your mails 'bad news'... more people will open them. And it works! Human nature you see...
Well... I've only got good news...
See K & C over at Wealthy Affiliates have come up with a one time limited offer for signing up and joining WA right now. (In fact you have to act before next Tuesday the 19th.)
You should know by now what I think of WA but if you need reminding you can check out my review here.
You should also know by now that I am something of an Adwords nut. In the Big Cat Challenge I recommend you try out the free methods first... article marketing, blogs, etc. to earn your marketing 'bones'.
But to really grow your IM business the fastest way is to master Adwords. But it does NOT come without risk and that's why I strongly recommend anyone contemplating using Adwords grabs a copy of K & C's Beating Adwords first.
It is THE Adwords bible. Period. You can check out my review of BA here.
Well, now here's the good news...
If you join Wealthy Affiliate before next Tuesday you also get a copy of Beating Adwords free! (BA currently retails at $67 so this is a real bargain)
Carson at Wealthy Affiliate posted on the forum yesterday that next week they're going to reveal a 1,000,000/yr niche!...that works out to $82K per month or $2,700/day.
He and Kyle are giving away the keywords, webpages, marketing angles, hot article marketing phrases, and many specific audiences to target... the full monty!
Dave B
PS. Don't forget you must join Wealthy Affiliate via the links in this post and you must act before next Tuesday.
PPS. If you are already a member of WA, I still strongly recommend you grab a copy of Beating Adwords before attempting Adwords.
PPPS. I almost forgot. If you join Wealthy Affiliate via any of my links or grab a copy of Beating Adwords , I've got some great bonuses for ya! Details are available on my site here.
A couple months ago, Google Adwords announced that they’re going to include landing page load time in their quality score calculation.
I just wanted to give you a heads up that landing page load time analysis is now available on the keyword analysis page.
You can get to this by hovering over the magnifying glass next to any keyword in your campaigns, then click on details and recommendations. It will now tell you if your landing page load time is above average, average, or below average…which now has an effect on your quality score.
So you might want to check your accounts and give them a once over to check how it’s reading your load time.
A couple common things that will slow your page down are too many javascript elements and image sizes that are too big. Video can obviously affect it as well.
Here's the latest from WA. OK, a so the price has now gone up but only by $9 and they have added yet another free tool called Rapid Writer, (that's on top of free web hosting, free web design tools, keywords tools and tons more... plus the best IM forum on the internet)
Here's the spiel from K & C...
Today is a great day for anyone who is a member at Wealthy Affiliate or would like to be a member of Wealthy Affiliate.
We have just launched a brand new content creation tool within Wealthy Affiliate called "Rapid Writer".
Rapid Writer is a tool for article marketers and website owners alike. Instead of discussing exactly what this tool offers, we have created a full page so you can see for yourself:
This tool is a big deal. Comparable tools out there are sold for $97/mth. Can you believe that!!!! We offer it for no extra cost within Wealthy Affiliate and it is safe to say that this tool is going to make a lot of people a lot of cash!
What about the price increase?
Well, it is not going to be as bad as you think. We have increased the price by a measly $9 at Wealthy Affiliate, from just under $30, to $39. It is still an amazing deal at this price especially if you consider everything we offer.
AND (a big AND), if you sign-up for an entire year at Wealthy Affiliate, you can get your membership at the old price. That's right! If you sign-up for a full year, we will give you access to Wealthy Affiliate for the old membership price.
If you are not already a member, now is an excellent time to join. If you think that updates like this to our system are uncommon, think again. We are always developing new tools, resources and services for Wealthy Affiliate!
Remember, if you are not a member you can still get the old member price if you sign-up for a full year. We can safely say that if you are a member for a full year and apply the techniques we provide within Wealthy Affiliate, you will be making much more than the cost of the membership fee!
