Moving Up the Internet Marketing Food Chain

There comes a time when you’ll hit a brick wall in your Internet Marketing efforts.

One could be because you’ve not taken enough effort, and everything stalls.

I’d like to look at the opposite situation, where you’ve done everything you thought you could and your income has begun to plateau.

If you’re an affiliate marketer, it may mean looking at new products to market, and doing new research.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

If you’ve been constructing a demographic profile of your customers (ie their psychographics), you have an idea Continue reading →

Well, not quite a date, but still how does an intimate 1-on-1 consultation with one of the world’s top search engine marketers/optimization experts sound?

I saw this in Jeremy “Shoemoney” Schoemaker’s post “Emom Holds Birthday Contest”

Wendy Piersall, owner of eMoms, is celebrating her blog’s one year birthday.

She’s roped in a number of the Elite Retreat faculty to provide prizes and all participants are eligible for a discount coupon for the next event.

The highlight, a phone consultation with Jeremy and Wendy on how to grow your business or blog.

Optimize and Deal with Blog-Crashing Traffic

1 Reply

If you’ve experimented with social traffic strategies, you might’ve encountered the Digg Effect (or also known as the Slashdot effect) where a torrent of traffic (upwards of 1,000 unique visitors a second) brings your webhost to a screaming halt.

Matt Coddington over at NetBusinessBlog is masterful at this technique.

Observe his traffic:

One of his Dugg posts is: Building a Niche Minisite (Part 1)

One of the reason why your webhost might crash is due to the processing required in compiling the PHP code and serving up the page for each visitor.

This could literally kill the server resources during peak periods.

So Ricardo Galli’s WP Cache provides a workaround, by caching your blog posts as static pages, enabling you to serve hundreds of times more pages per second.

In fact, the plugin serves to “reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond.”

The plugin is Continue reading →

Jo Han Mok’s Workshop and the Ultimate Goals Meme

It’s 1030am and on the sidelines of Jo Han Mok’s Warp Speed Internet Marketing workshop:

I was looking through my blog and got tagged by Dawud Miracle for the Goal Setting meme originally started by Alex Shalman and have gone through eMom Wendy Piersall (winner of the recent Elite Retreat ticket)

Having taught life skills and goal setting specifically, I’ve noticed that many don’t include the following criteria: goals have to be:

  • Specific: Include a measurement, so you’ll know when you’ve achieved it (a net worth of $x million, rather than merely “really rich!”)
  • Time Specific: You need a timeframe. Theoretically we could all be millionaires, even if we’re earning just $1,000 a month. The problem is that at that rate, you might need to work till 305 years to achieve it. So goals don’t mean much without the time factor.
  • Realistic: I use a “reality check” factor. If you’re a complete computer idiot, and you’re gunning for $1 million in your first year in Internet Marketing and you can spend 30 minutes a week on this. You might get slammed hard against the wall when you meet Mr Reality.

There’re other criteria too, but I’ll spare you the gory details.

So here’re my goals: Continue reading →

How Your Social Network Avatar Can Make Or Break Your Internet Marketing Efforts

13 Replies

Linkbaiting on social networks like MyBlogLog, MySpace and BumpZEE is common, especially when Internet Marketers use pictures of bikini-clad women as their avatar.

While there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the practice, I feel that it sets up expectations that the blogger or website owner will have to deliver on once the visitor lands on your page.

If you can keep your readers happy, you’ve laid the foundation for a successful and low cost (possibly free) traffic generation model.

The sad reality is that more than 90% of the sites using such techniques have average (and usually sub-standard) poor content.

At best, this is gimmicky in my opinion and best used for one-off, throwaway adsense-oriented traffic.

But if you’re a serious Internet Marketer in this for the long haul, you’d do much better to build your brand, which means either using your photograph, or an image which represents your online presence.avatar montage
