Most people who get involved in internet marketing fall for the trap of trying to compete in the make money niche, which is the most competitive and hardest niche of all to compete in.

Not only are you up against heavyweights like Mike Filsaime, Frank Kern and Alex Goad, you’re also competing against a bunch of crooked “make money while you sleep” programs that are solely designed to make the owner rich.

It is an incredibly competitive market – a market that eats most alive.

The statistic that 95% of Internet marketers fail is liberally quoted by many people, but closer analysis of the statistic is worth undertaking.

It’s almost certain that 100% of people who buy into a MLM or one up program or something totally illegal like a cash gifting program or HYIP without any prior knowledge or skill will fail.

And I think that a fair proportion of people who say that they own and run an Internet Marketing business fall into that category, when in actual fact they own nothing.

But people who take the time to actually learn the basics like web-hosting, follow up and copywriting have a far higher success rate.

Those that take it one step further and apply the basics of net-marketing  to something that they already know about have an even higher success rate.

But where’s the money?

Google Adsense and like programs like Chitika Premium ads
Clickbank
Commission Junction
Amazon
A host of other affiliate programs who will pay you for selling their products on line.

Here is one example Guitar Hero – you know the game that every teenage boy plays, its kind of Space Invaders meets heavy metal

Any way the makers of guitar hero pay affiliate commission to sell their merchandise on line.

Yesterday, according to seobook (very handy tool – free to join) there were an estimated 7229 searches made for the TOP 2 keyword phrases for guitar hero.  On the same day for the TOP 4 keyword phrases associated with the phrase Make Money online, there were 7383 searches( and the fourth one was probably useless – because it was make Money online free)

Now, both of them, as you would expect, are highly competitive keyword terms, but a little digging in the guitar hero niche will reveal some highly searched but less competitive keywords.  There is no such luck with make money online.

You still need content and unless you’re passionate about playing guitar hero, it may be difficult to find unless you have  something like Alex Goad’s autocontent generator.

This is perhaps the most intriguing product to hit the market for some time Here is how it works  in a nutshell.

Step 1: Spend 35-50 minutes setting up one of these automated niche sites following their exact step-by-step formula and using their proprietary automation tools…

Step 2:  Never touch it again.

Step 3: Watch it shoot to the top of Google for your “money keywords” and gain even more rankings and authority as the days and months pass…

Step 4:  Rinse and repeat, continually building a huge portfolio of passive income streams with the “secret” kind of websites that Google simply can’t and won’t resist.

Why?
Well according to Alex,

“The fact is, Google has been cleverly disguising a dirty little secret they’d hoped no one would notice.  Something so big that would it would simply kill sites as big as Digg and even Google’s very own Youtube if they suddenly changed their “policy”…

A sort of unclose-able loophole Google has permanently exposed itself to… and ironically, with websites it actually owns…  The very same loophole Google is using to push their favorite sites to the top of their search engine has now been exposed and exploited allowing those who know how, to generate an incredible passive income – easily and quickly…

So there you have it.  I’m getting my copy – will you?

I received an email from Mark Dulisse alerting me to the upcoming release of Gunshot Money.

I came across Mark when I purchased a high ticket item from him twelve months ago and his back up, support and training have been nothing short of phenomenal.

Mark knows what it’s like to struggle, and by his own admission was an angry person only a few years back hen nothing seemed to work and he was running around chasing his tail. Word has it that Alex Goad actually banned him from a forum because Mark was so negative about everything.

Alex actually challenged Mark to take one simple principle and work it and Mark took the challenge and his Internet Marketing  star began to rise.

I am currently reviewing Mark’s new product Gunshot Money and while I haven’t formed a full conclusion at this stage, my initial thoughts that this is a very impressive instructional prduct well worth the investment to people looking to make serious money on line.

My full review and bonus will be posted here

The only product of Mike Filsaime’s that I recommend is the free traffic toolbar Instant Buzz and I sure wasn’t attracted to this program even as an affiliate.

Filsaime delivers good content and good product, but I find most of what he delivers to be hype driven and in many cases people can get better value from products for far lesser cost.  I am much more comfortable recommending Marketing On the Fringe or Mike Deluisse’s SEO Annihalator – both quality products without he hype fuelled hysteria of the seven figure code.

Now I wasn’t particulrly surprised when I got an email from Instant Buzz admin telling me that Filsaime was giving up Internet Marketing to take up software development and he was giving away the entire 7 figure code course for just postage and handling.

I’m pretty sure I got he same pitch for theButterfly Marketing  Manuscript or whatever it was called, and as far as I can tell Filsaime is still doing Internet Marketing.

Now there are a couple of things here that require close analysis.

The first is How would you feel if you’d paid the $1297 three weeks ago only now to find that this “priceless” product was being given away?

Secondly you get the whole kit and caboodle but you have to take a fee trial of his marketing newsleter membership and then you’re locked into $19.95 per month and there’s an upsell (of course, there’s always an upsell)

I have no doubt that the product is good I just don’t like the marketing tactics – they leave a sour taste in my mouth.

If you want itj ust type7 figurecode in teh search engine box – good luck I’m sure you’ll do OK, but I refuse to be associated with it.

Please excuse my cynicism

Let’s cut to the chase.

Most product launches go over old territory.  Clickbank, adwords, adsense, cpa offers.

They all include screen shots, and “video proof “of their successes.

None of them tell you that these guys have probably worked their butts off for years to get the level of success that they claim to have.  None of them say how much money they spend on Google Adwords.  None of them say how many staff they have working for them.

How many people work for Mike Filsaime for example?

Do you think he sits at home by himself and has these wonderful ideas that he diligently writes the program for, then produces the product, writes the sales copy, prepares the launch material and buys the traffic.

If you do, then it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee.

I have nothing against Mike, he’s a great marketer with some good products, but his business is so upscale that you can’t hope to emulate him unless you’re prepared to upscale like him and to take the risks that he undoubtedly took.

Nothing is easy.  It takes work, time, patience and research and frankly none of it is overly sexy (apart from when the cheques come in)

Yes there are good product launches that come along, I have reviewed several over the past 12 months.

Yes there are innovative ideas and techniques that people employ, but simply copying and pasting the published methods of an alleged guru along with the thousand or so others doing exactly the same thing won’t cut the mustard.

And here’s something else that these guru’s do time and again.

They get you in for $47, $77 or $97 and then they say look you’ll earn a little bit doing this but if you want to supercharge your efforts you need access to my inner circle and it costs (normally on a monthly basis)

And here’s what really gets up my nose with these “Adwords champions” at some point they’re going to spill the beans and say they learned everything they know from Perry Marshall.

The same book that I read once every couple of months.
The same book that has taught me more about marketing than any other.
The same Perry Marshall who’s emails I look forward to every week.

These guys know no more than I do about Adwords.

If you want to know about Adwords you go to the best source Perry Marshall.
At the very least you should take his 5 day free course

He is one expert that I trust.  Who else is there?

Let’s see.

Affiliate marketing?  Rosalind Gardiner

Complete Overview of Traffic generation? Graham Hamer

Starting from Scratch? Site Build It

I could go on, but the point I making is that without exception these people have been around for years.  They know what they’re doing.  they practice what they preach and they stand by their products.

They don’t regurgitate somebody else’s drivel wrap it in electric fluff and then spruik it through JV partners.  They don’t have to.

Because they know what they do works.

OK, I think I’m done.  I feel better now

MPAM was an educational program designed to show people how to legitimately design and profit from their own websites, particularly profiting from the easy money streams like Google adsense.

I learned a lot from it and when I thought that it had taught me it could, I moved on, aware that while it was a wonderful program, with a sound affiliate structure that my weakness was recruitment to programs.

Occassionally, I would sneak back to take a look at what the owner Michael Russell was doing, but generally I had moved on to other horizons.

I was somewhat taken aback recently to find that Michael has taken this highly educational and honest site offline, citing health reasons as the main cause.

The Internet Marketing world is poorer for the loss.  Sincere honest program owners like Michael Rusell who develop hype free quality programs like MPAM are as scarce as hen’s teeth.  I hope that he overcomes his health issues and returns with a revamped MPAM sometime in the future.

• the initial advertisement (you should always have two variants)

• The place of advertisement -if you’re going to spend some money you need to know that there is a live responsive audience viewing the ad
• Your squeeze page (again at least two variants)
• Your sales page
• Your email follow up – open rates and click through rates

This takes a little time to master,but frankly if you’re not tracking your results, you simply cannot know what is working.

You simply must start tracking your advertising
You simply must have an auto response service.
Traffic Wave offers both.

I say appears, because I have been unable to get a hold of a copy of Clickbank Pirate other than the free reports supplied in the lead up,so I can’t give an honest opinion, but I can make some educated guesses,.

The crucial problems Clickbank Pirate solves are professional email follow up of leads.
This is handled by the system and done by Soren Jordensan – I’m sure it’s ultra professional and will work, BUT and this is a very big BUT.

Clickbank Pirate does not give you control of your leads.  the system follows them up for you -  what Soren decides is what your leads see.

Now I have nothing against Soren in fact I think he is one of the most worthwhile people to follow on the net but I don’t want to give him control of leads that I generate – I can’t recommend qulity products outside the Clickbank system.  I can’t recommend quality products within Clickbank that for some reason Soren doesn’t like.

Thta’s why I don’t recommend it.  If you like to be led by the nose, push buttons and join dots by all means go ahead and purchase it.  However, if you want to build your own successful business reputation don’t.

You would be better to take the following courses of action.

1/Concentrate on building your web presence
2/Design and write your own follow up system based around one simple product
3/Get this product free

Because that is what Clickbank Pirate is essentially about – providing following up leads ina professional coordinated manner and you can do that your self and give yourself much more flexibility at the same time.
