How to Fail In Internet Marketing

by Gobala Krishnan on September 1, 2010

I just got an email from a subscriber, that perhaps many of you reading this are experiencing as well:

Thank you for sending much of your info with regards to this internet business. Well I’m really confused, don’t know where to start. I am a Professional Engineer by practice and love so much this business. But don’t know where to begin. There are lots offering such as PLR, MRR, Autopilot, WordPress, PPV Traffic, Affiliate, AdSense and so on….

My e-mails is full of these offer from the internet marketers…so can you do me a favor in giving me the advice on how to start from the very basic. You know as well each of the offer are un US$…and after converting to our currency it would be quite a considerable sum… i don’t want to spend on unnecessary product but i wish to go for the right one & start from there on….tq

This is a common issue when you focus on the tactics, instead of first thinking of a suitable business model for you. Everything this guy mentioned above is jus a tactic to get more traffic and more sales. But what do you sell? How do you generate income from all that traffic?

If you can’t plan a suitable business model – something that is based on your available time (part time of full time) as well as your budget – then all these tactics mean nothing. by focusing on tactics you’ll only be running around in circles without building anything substantial.

Normally, I would recommend that you attend my Internet Millionaires BootCamp where I discuss the most popular business models and help you find one that is suitable for you. However, since we’ve postponed all our bootcamps till early 2011, I recommend that you signup for my personal coaching session instead.

If you’re serious about starting an online business, you’ll find that the personal coaching session will be the fastest, shortest and easiest way for you to start making money online while building a real online business.

Free Traffic from FaceBook

by Gobala Krishnan on August 25, 2010

Yesterday I posted a blog post about Jeremy Burns Source Code Goldmine. In that post I used a cloaked affiliate link like this: http://gobala.linktrackr.com/sourcecode

Before I published the review, I decided to just share the link on FaceBook using the viral marketing tools at LinkTrackr and here’s the result, in just a few minutes:

facebook-traffic

All that is free traffic from FaceBook, and the only thin I did was share it from the viral bar. Just ONE share got my TWO additional “Likes” on FaceBook from people who clicked on the link from my profile page / news stream:

viral-fb

Now that’s the true meaning of viral marketing – I got additional traffic without doing any additional work.

by Gobala Krishnan on August 24, 2010

Jeremy Burns just launched his Sourcecode Goldmine 10, and if you’re into PLR products you have to take a look at the amount of good stuff you get for a very low price.

I used some of his earlier products and I’ve always been extremely satisfied. SCGM is well known for being extremely affordable considering the massive amount of contents you get with each product.

Version 10 is no different. What we have is is an excellent mash up of varied products that are well composed and a great value. Here’s some of the PLR websites you get:

WordPress Link Cloaking Plugin for LinkTrackr

by Gobala Krishnan on July 27, 2010

LinkTrackr is designed for simplicity. We want to help more affiliate marketers to cloak and track their affiliate marketing campaigns without the need for scripts and bulky software.

However, since many users now already have their own WordPress blogs, we’ve also included a link cloaking plugin for WordPress blogs. The plugin is easy to install, and you can use it on as many WordPress blogs as you want.

With the lick cloaking plugin, you can easily convert any keyword on your blog into affiliate links. Just enter the keyword for each link, and the plugin will do the rest.

wp-linksmain

Plus, you can specify the amount of keywords per post you want to convert, so you’ll never end up with a spammy-looking blog.

wp-keyword2link

I’ve been using this plugin on this blog for a week now, and it works just fine.

However, unlike similar link cloaking or link masking plugins, all your data is stored in your centralized LinkTrackr account. Therefore, you can use this plugin on many different blogs without having to duplicate your links for each blog.

Also, you get much better reporting because you’re only looking at one centralized report instead of many reports on many blogs.

In the next few weeks, we’ll be improving this WP link cloaker plugin to be faster and easier to use.

Signup for a LinkTrackr account here. You can use our $1 trial to test it out for 30 days before you decide if you want to keep it or not.

Boxbe Review – And Why You Don’t Need It!

by Gobala Krishnan on July 5, 2010

Every time I send out an email to my subscribers, I will without doubt get a verification email from Boxbe.com. I click on every one of them and verify myself, which 99.9% of Internet marketers won’t bother to do.

Recently, I started to receive more and more email from Boxbe, which means of course they are increasing their user base. So I decided to signup myself and check it out. Here’s my review of the service.

boxbe

What is Boxbe?

Basically, it’s a free service that you can use to protect your email inbox from spammers and unwanted email. You can use it will all your existing Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail accounts. When you signup for Boxbe they will ask for your login and password, and they will automatically create (in the case of Gmail) a filter for Boxbe. They they will filter all your incoming mail.

When you receive an email, Boxbe checks to see if the sender (or the sending domain) is in your “whitelist”. If it is not, Boxbe will automatically send an email to the sender, asking him to confirm that he is a real human being. If the email was sent by a spammer, he will not confirm as he’s probably using a fake email, or he’s just not interested in doing that extra work.

So therefore, at the end of the day, you will have a squeaky clean inbox. No spam, no unwanted email, only the people you choose to hear from.

Here’s the problem:

  • Boxbe overrides Gmail’s wonderful spam filter, and that sucks big time
  • If you’re getting unwanted email, check at the bottom of the email and you will be able to unsubscribe anyways
  • If you cannot unsubscribe from unwanted email, just mark it as spam and Gmail will automatically send all email from the person to the spam folder

Here’s a sample of the amount of hardcore spam that Boxbe allows to my inbox:

boxbe-2

All these are clear cut spam, yet Boxbe delivers them to my Gmail inbox. Without Boxbe, Gmail would have automatically sent all these to the spam folder, but now I have to do it myself.

Therefore, here’s my conclusion – you don’t need Boxbe.

It only makes your life harder and gives you more work to do as you have to manually report all the spam emails, and manually accept all the legitimate ones. I’m an internet marketer and I receive on average 1,000 – 3,000 emails per week, yet I managed just fine without Boxbe.

Switch to Gmail. Their spam filters are great. Learn to unsubscribe to email newsletters you no longer want to subscribe to. Learn to create filters in Gmail to automatically sort email you only want to read later.

Perhaps they may improve later and overcome these issues, but for now I’ll pass.

If you’re building a site to make money from Google AdSense, then it’s important that you have a good Adsense template. Having the correct optimized template will allow you to get higher search engine rankings and improve your AdSense CTR or Click-Through Rate.

All the free templates below are based on darker colors, but you can easily edit the CSS to match your site design. Also comes with Photoshop files (.PSD) where applicable. All navigation links and content areas are designed to match the Adsense ads, for perfect blending.
