PLR content comes in many formats, from PLR articles to PLR books and everything in between.

PLR sellers will sometimes specialize in one particular niche and offer articles, books, short reports, auto-responder emails and blog posts.

Other sources will offer PLR in a variety of niches but they may specialize in only two or three types of PLR content. Read the rest of this entry »

There are many different ways to grow your list of subscribers and one of the most effective is AdSwaps.

Many people new to the idea of AdSwaps immediately thinks that this strategy involves passing on your list to other marketers.

That is definitely not the case.

Put simply, two people agree to promote each other’s product (in most cases, a free product) by sending an email to their own subscriber list, which includes a link to their adswap partner’s product.

The respective emails are sent out at the same time on the same day. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve come across a number of discussions recently about the use of private label rights, particularly on the Warrior Forum.

There was a fascinating debate taking place between writers of PLR. It concerned how writers research the topic they intend writing about.

The two sides debated the “rights and wrongs” of research by copying and pasting notes from other articles as a basis for their work.

The forum thread was initiated by Tiffany Dow, a writer who I admire not only for her written work but also for her business ethics. Read the rest of this entry »

The other day I was searching for a report that I knew I’d purchased some months ago but had never got around to reading.

Ever had that experience?

I’ve got this folder on my hard drive called “Reports” and then sub-folders for such topics as, Traffic, Listbuilding, SEO and so on.

It’s a bit organised; probably my civil service training… Read the rest of this entry »

Are you sick and tired of all the spam you’re receiving?

It may very well be that you have some email contact information on your website and this is being read by the robots.

Here’s a short video in which I share a little tip to eliminate that possibility. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been quite some time since I posted something here and there is a very simple explanation.

I died!

Okay, obviously I haven’t because I’m still here.

As Mark Twain said, “Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated“. Read the rest of this entry »

In just over three weeks there is a cause for celebration – it will be my 21st….time I will have moved house/flat/apartment.

For a moment there, you were looking at my picture above and shaking your head. I wouldn’t have believed it either.

I have to admit that my first three addresses were that of my parents but at the tender age of 17 I was shown the door of independence. Actually I was pushed out at about 1 o’clock one December morning, but that’s a story for another time.

So, why so many moves?

Low threshold boredom maybe.

Whatever the reason, I’m always reminded of the fact that moving house is supposed to be one of the major stressful activities we experience.

I can say, hand on heart that I’ve never found this to be case.

One move involved me carrying half a dozen plastic bags to a shared flat. This was the total sum of my belongings. Hardly stressful, more a case of “why didn’t I take a trolley to do the weekly shop” type of moment.

Consider this for a potentially stressful period.

The last time we moved was five years ago (seems a lifetime ago in moving terms). My wife was pregnant and I had just finished a six month treatment of chemotherapy. I started to load the van at 8.30 in the morning and by 2.30 in the afternoon our helpful band of moving assistants were sitting down to pizza and beer in our new apartment. Job done!

Was it stressful?

No.

I believe it was all down to planning and preparation (combined with experience as a touring theatre stage manager).

At the moment, although I’m surrounded by boxes already packed with many more still to be done, I’m feeling confident about this move. There are other planned events which I have to work around.

We’re meeting up with friends next weekend who are over from the UK. The following weekend we then take my daughter to France so that she can spend two weeks with her grandparents. Samia and I then fly back to Barcelona for a couple of days for the final push before the big day.

Having done the work beforehand, and practised it many times, come the day it is so much easier.

Of course, my business still needs to be attended to but as most of it runs on auto-pilot, it’s easy to manage.

Which leads me nicely in a roundabout sort of way, to the latest product from Keith Purkiss and John Thornhill, Push Button Giveaways 2.0.

Keith has created a product that makes the whole process of using giveaway events to build your list of subscribers so much faster and efficient. Do the job once and then on the day, click a few buttons and you’re ready to go.

John, who surprisingly had never particpated in a giveaway event, tested the process with some good results. He reckoned it could have been better had he offered a different product. Either way, I’ve seen his results and they’re not too bad.

There’s a lot more to Push Button Giveaways 2.0, which I believe is going to make using giveaway events a quicker and more enjoyable process.

I found the time, in between packing boxes, to put together a bonus for you when you purchase Push Button Giveaways 2.0 through my affiliate link. You can get more information at Push Button Giveaways 2.0 Bonus.

If you like systems that make your business run smoothly, this is for you.

And now back to that 21st celebration – where did I put the gaffa tape?

You’ve created an amazing product. You’ve got the most attractive squeeze page that you are convinced will have a high conversion rate. But the one thing you are missing is traffic. And without visitors to your site, the chances of building your list is virtually zero. Read the rest of this entry »

Is it possible to create a ‘good’ squeeze page? First you would need to define what a ‘good’ squeeze page actually is… Read the rest of this entry »

Is there really anything more to be said about creating a squeeze page? Don’t we know how to do this from the very first hour we get involved with Internet Marketing?

You’d think the answers would be “No” and “Yes”, respectively. Read the rest of this entry »
