Content Locking – The 900 pound gorilla!

gorilla

I've recently been exploring content locking more and more. I used to make decent money with CPA Lead back in the day. I'm now with BLAM Ads, which is doing really well for some of my friends. I'm going to start using them for some of my sites in other niches. So why is Content Locking the 900 pound gorilla? I'll give you two reasons. Content-locking means you get to INCENTIVIZE your visitors... you know, like a bribe. Complete this survey to view my … [Read more...]

Get rid of your call to action!

Confused Smile

On some of my experimental sites I've been playing around and not using call to actions. Here's where you probably think I'm crazy, you probably think nobody is going to take action if we don't have a CALL TO action. Not necessarily the case. The real point of this post is not necessarily about removing your call to action, it's about not relying on your call to action. Let's say I have a really great article, video, case study, whatever and it's getting major attention. It's the next … [Read more...]

Your content is distracting your users from the ads

internet_down_0

Something interesting happened last night when a friend of mine tried to give away his furniture on Craigslist. Nobody believed him that it was good quality furniture with nothing wrong with it. They all wanted to know why he was giving it away and what was wrong with it. This is called perceived value. If you are giving away something for free people associate a value with it. They perceive it as not worth that much, since you don't even want it. The same thing is true with Internet … [Read more...]

The answer is on the fortune cookie

dailyconversionsfortunecookie

Yes, it's true. If you are a member of List Playbook then you will know what I'm talking about. I mention this fortune cookie in the guide. Ironic. What I actually want to point out is that the answer you are seeking to your question, whatever that question might be, is right in front of you. You already know the answer, and sometimes all it takes is actually looking at what falls in front of you (or comes out of your fortune cookie.) I don't care if you are facing the most … [Read more...]

Movie Product Placement Advertising

Nikon

Every year companies spend Billions of dollars on product placements in movies. They do it because there's no better way to reach a mass amount of people for a small (relative to the movie size) amount of money. Lately, advertisers are finding a lot of success advertising in independent films and short films. Recently, a product placement advertiser advertised in an independent film for less than $10,000 and the film went on to screen in theaters nationwide and was sold in stores all over the … [Read more...]

Bringing Offline Clients Online – Great Cash For Starting An Online Business

Hold_my_hand

One of the first ways I got started in internet marketing and, after several failed attempts at other things, started making some real good money with was to bring local offline clients online. What do I mean with this? Well, a true entrepreneur sees possibilities everywhere. Remember the old "Ask and you shall receive?" Without getting biblical, it's actually a very valid and true quote. You need to start opening your eyes, and you need to start asking questions. Don't be afraid of … [Read more...]
