The Art Of Internet Marketing Promotion

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Finally, I’ve received the first couple of Derek Gehl videos of the 4 Day Build-a-Biz Challenge.

I’ve been a fan of Derek Gehl from when I first began researching internet marketing and making money online. He is the millionaire CEO of the Internet Marketing Center, and qualifies as an ‘internet marketing guru’, and I’m not generally a fan of the IM guru.

However, I have some excellent IM training manuals from the Internet Marketing Center, and they cost me very little (although I got collared for $120 customs duty, it was STILL a good deal!), so I don’t like to knock the man or his company.

Internet marketing gurus don’t spend their time and money on projects in which there isn’t an investment in the bigger picture. After all, this is how they have become millionaires — boy, can I be naïve sometimes!

Of course, the 4 Day Build-a-Biz Challenge is a vehicle for promoting a new product. Derek is using new software called Bebiz that enables the entrepreneur to create an online business from scratch.

So far, I’ve only watched the first video, and am disappointed. I’d hoped to witness Derek conducting his niche-identifying market research via the routes we are familiar with, like Google Labs, Amazon database scrutiny, Yahoo Answers, forum foraging, and then see him develop his keyword list.

But every step of the creation of his new online business is accomplished via the new software, in which I don’t have the slightest interest.

I’m not particularly keen to watch the remaining videos, but I’ll try to fit them in, just to be fair, as I started this ball rolling, and should see where it winds up.

Sorry there are no wonderful internet marketing revelations!

RSS Feed Is Now Full Text

When we start dabbling with making money online, there are so many internet marketing techniques, strategies and skills that we need to study and acquire.

Building a dynamic website is a very different proposition to a static one, and a blog offers many of us an alternative way to present a professional-looking site without starting from scratch, and without having a background in programming.

However, a blog is comprised of elements of several programs, and if we aren’t familiar with coding, we need either to outsource any customisation required or start learning how to do it for ourselves.

None of us – and I mean ‘none’ – get it perfect from the start, I’m certainly guilty and, in particular, I’ve been s-l-o-w to get to grips with RSS feeds, and how best to present this element to my readers.

But, better late than, well, late-er.

After much deliberation and consultation, Reward Rebel now provides full text RSS Feed.

Comments Curiosity

I’ve encountered quite a few blogs that enthusiastically invite readers to comment, and when a readers does, their contribution isn’t acknowledged or responded to.

On one occasion, the blog author actually asked his readers what it was he was doing wrong, and why people weren’t leaving comments on his site!

Witnessing a lively discussion taking place on a website encourages readers to get involved, a blog author who doesn’t engage in the discussion does the opposite, and discourages participation.

I find this lack of communication difficult to comprehend, but that’s probably because I’m a control freak for whom it’s impossible to ignore a comment — I have to have the final word!

Do you treat comments to your own site like you’d treat a real-life discussion? Do you respond? Or perhaps your site receives comments in such high numbers, it’s impossible to respond to each of them?

Do you expect a response when you’re the one commenting?

How often would any of us engage in comments and responses, if we didn’t all need back-links to our own sites?

Traffic Geyser 14 Days For $1

Today, I received an email promoting a 14 Day Trial of Traffic Geyser for just $1, yep, just one dollar.

Traffic Geyser helps you create, promote and distribute your videos, but if you haven’t heard of them before, here’s the link to the offer page, and I urge you to check it out.

Traffic Geyser 14 Days For $1

I signed-up because at that price, it’s worth seeing whether it’s a program I can put to use. After all, I have a digital (video) camera, a web cam, Camtasia and Photoshop, all the tools I need to generate visual ingredients for video. Although with this program’s toolkit, you don’t even need a camera!

This isn’t an affiliate promotion, it’s simply a good deal that I thought you could benefit from hearing about.

Have a happy video adventure!

They Shot The Horse!

They Shot The Horse!

I’m delighted to report that I’m out of my misery. Frank Kanu and I have corresponded and I think we’re friends again.

It was certainly an unpleasant way to learn to be methodical with images and their provenance.
