750 Traffic Tactics with Private Label Rights
Edmund Loh has just done all of us a big favor.
As you may already know, traffic is the number one thing almost every Internet marketer wants to know about.
If you’re selling a product related to Internet marketing, web design, blogging etc than you should definitely get Edmund’s 750 Traffic Tactics PLR package. (Update: All sold out)
The first thing you should do, is to cut up the massive package into parts and create your own product based on a specific theme. For example, traffic tips for bloggers, traffic tips for forum owners, SEO tips for webmasters, social media traffic, etc.
That way you can create more value out of your new product and position it uniquely on the market.
Create an Awesome PopUp For Your Website
This is my the first software product I have developed and marketed, and you can get it for just $10.00.
As you can see from the screenshot above, Awesome Popup adds a very cool, lightbox-style popup to your website. What happens is that once the popup loads, you page will be frozen and covered by a transparent black background, with the pop-up on top. This type of popup isn’t annoying (unless you make it annoying) and cannot be blocked by browsers.
(Popup effect very similar to what happens when you click on the image above)
You can use it to greatly increase your marketing results, to display an offer or urgent news, and much more. Visit www.AwesomePopup.com - it comes with Master Resell Rights too.
Turn Off Directory Browsing to Protect Your Web Content
In my post about the Top 10 Silly Mistakes, a lot of readers were surprised about one particular seemingly “common” mistake, which is not turning off directory browsing for your folders.
This is really simple to do, and will avoid your web content from being stolen as people will not be able to browse the contents of your folder by typing it into the browser. If you type in www.yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins and directory browsing is not turned off for your web site, you can see the content of the entire folder, like this:
This exposes your website to thieves and hackers, making their lives much easier and serving your files to them on a silver platter.
To turn off directory browsing, simple log into your Cpanel account and look for the “Index Manager” icon, click on it.
This will take you to another page where you can turn off directory browsing for individual folders, or for the entire site. Usually, to turn off indexing for the entire site you need to click on the root folder, which is public_html
Finally, change the settings from “Default System Setting” to “No Indexing”. Now, your folders should be protected from peeping toms forever.
Running an online business involves learning how to secure your website, intellectual property, and business processes from people that mean to do you harm, and turning off directory browsing is the easiest (but most overlooked) way to get started in the right path.
Indonesian Internet Marketers To Dominate The World?
When I was on holiday in Indonesia, I met a really cool group of Indonesian Internet marketers who showed me a really good time in Jakarta, Bandung and a few other places.
Although Internet marketing in Indonesia is relatively untapped, the Internet marketers I have met are enthusiastic about the huge opportunity. After all, Indonesia has the 4th largest population in the world with cheaper labor costs than most countries and increasing Internet penetration - and these guys have a plan on how to ccapitalize.
From left (excluding me): Cornelius, Semmy Wijayanto, Francis Jimenez (imported from the Philippines) and Dee Ferdinand - a special thanks to all!
Meet these guys at the Bali Rendezvous Internet marketing event in Bali, Indonesia. Very smart guys, and even if they do not end up dominating the world, they will definitely be among the top Indonesian Internet marketers.
3 Things I Would Change With The Help of Hiro Nakamura
What if you could travel back in time? What would you do to change the past to positively effect the life you have today?
Unlike Hiro Nakamura who can just blink and be teleported to different timelines in history, most of us are stuck with what we have now and try to make the best of it. But what if Hiro Nakamura was real, he was your friend, and he’s asking you “I am Hiro. How do I save your world?”
Only 3 things Hiro, just tell the “past” me 3 things:
- Don’t Take That Loan - I would ask Hiro to talk to the earlier me (at age 18) to not accept any education loans, because they are nothing but a trap, and most of the “education” I got from taking a loan for RM70,000 was crap anyway.
- Don’t Drink That Beer - I would ask Hiro to ask the past me (at age 22) to stop drinking every single day. I would give the past me (fit and lean) a picture of me now and he would get the point.
- Don’t Bother with The Band - I would ask Hiro Nakamura to hit me on the head (at age 23) with my own electric guitar and tell me to stop trying to be a rockstar. I would probably go into a coma for 3 years, but when I woke up I’m sure my band would still be playing the same 5 songs they did. It was a good experience, but this year I realized how much time I wasted by not following my own intuitions in the band.
Now of course you’d say “Never regret..”
But I bet if you were Hiro Nakamura or at least had him as a friend, you’ll be pretty tempted to change things a little bit.
10 Silly Mistakes Even Internet Marketing Experts Make
Some of you may have seen something like the image above if you visited my blog in a few days- my domain got parked by GoDaddy. In fact I managed to renew it just in time before the domain expired and was put under GoDaddy’s expired domains market, which would mean that I will have to pay USD1,000+/- to get it back. Luckily for me, I had to pay only regular domain renewal fees.
In my case it was not a typical rookie mistake. I DID put my domain on auto-renew ever since I bought it but the problem is last month the credit card I’ve been using for over 5 years expired, and I was issued a new card. This meant that any recurring payment using the old card will fail as the new card has a different security number (at the back of the card).
To make things worse, during the renewal date I was in Indonesia for a 5-day holiday and had almost no Internet access. I went online for a couple of minutes but there were so many emails, I must have missed the warning notice from GoDaddy.
All things said, it was still rather silly on my part.
This brings me to an interesting topic - silly things we do as marketers.
Here’s a list of them, tell me if you’ve done any of it before:
Anti Domain-Auto-Renewal - As I mentioned in the story above. I’ve lost one or two domains before from this but those domains were not critical to my business. Still, the guy who got it just put up a “domain parking” page with loads of ads and is probably still getting some cash out of it.- Bad English Domains - I’ve done this with 2 domain names. The funny thing just as you hit the “Order” button you suddenly realize the spelling error but it’s just too late and you’re stuck with that domain for a year.
- See Only, Don’t Buy - I once spent $230 a day in AdWords and got up the next morning to zero sales. I realized not too log after that the order link was broken - and I felt like a total idiot.
- Neighborly Love is Bad - I once wrote the wrong address for my Aweber commissions, resulting in the checks being sent to my neighbor. Luckily for me, he had already move out by then and I retrieved my check from his mail box after checking my Aweber affiliate profile.
- Who Moved My Affiliate Checks? - Sometimes people move around. I moved from apartment to house to apartment (5 times) in the past 4 years and I’m pretty sure there were some miniscule affiliate programs I signed up with that finally sent me a check - just to the wrong address!
- Wrong Paypal Address - I did this once, send a huge sum of money to the wrong person. The I had to file a dispute and only through the grace of the receiver did I get my money back.
- Come See My Download Files - In Cpanel you can choose to disable indexes of your directories. This way when someone types in yoursite.com/images they wont be able to see a listing of all the images. Most importantly, if they type in yoursite.com/download and you have no index page there (htm/html/php) they will be able to steal your products. If you have a WordPress blog, try typing in yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins and you will see what I mean
- Premature Ejaculation- I’ve sent out an email for an affiliate product that read “Product X Is Live Now” only to realize that it would a good 12 hours before that happened. In my case you could forgive me because converting between time zones can be confusing.
- Backups Are For Wimps - It’s soo easy to delete stuff, and by “stuff” I mean anything from your website files, your e-book source MS Word files, your database (MySQL databases are very easy to delete, just one click) and even your important emails with your login details. Then you realize you didn’t create a backup and you’re screwed. No choice but to spend another 15 days re-writing the same ebook.
- [yourname, [fistname], Who’s Name? - How many times have you sent out an autoresponder broadcast email and got the variables wrong? Instead of getting “Hello Gobala” you get “Hello [firstname” - this always happens when: (a) You have more than one autoresponder service and each uses different variables, and you “copy and paste” carelessly (2) you typed in the variables manually, and you made a typo, oops!
Well there you go, 10 silly mistake even Internet marketing veterans make. I made all 10 of them, how many have you got?
