We are sick to death of internet schemes and scams. We are just as tired of affiliate marketing where we only make a few dollars per sale. Well, I have run across a fairly new concept that is currently sweeping every continent.
Before we continue, let’s go ahead and settle the scheme or scam issue.
First of all, according to compete.com, this platform has gone from 1,083 visitors per day last September 2011, to over 800,000 visits per day in November 2011.
Second, according to website informer.com, this platform has over 3.9 million page views per day, as of today.
Finally, according to Alexa.com, this new platform has a Global rank of 1,032 and a US rank of 347. That is out of approximately 185 million websites around the Globe. 347 out of 185 million. These are impressive trends, especially since September 2011.
Next we have to do our research. If you spend hours reading the reviews, there are good and bad, as with anything you research. So after reading mixed reviews - mostly good, I went to the website and watched the webinar.
I needed to decide myself. After watching the webinar, I studied on the whole concept very carefully.
Then my thoughts went back to the negative reviews. Some people, I will never figure out why they post such comments as they do. They obviously do not know how to comprehend a legitimate concept. I really think they just want everybody to hand them a ton of money. For example, two reviews stated it “was just another pyramid scheme” (which caught my eye quickly) and another was “another MLM scheme”.
It is not either. First of all, the pyramid concept is cut off because the entering person makes as much as the person who signed him on. It is not another MLM operation because; you get paid 100% commissions on your new entry, on every tier. Granted you do receive down line monthly residuals as in a MLM plan, but you still get the 100% commissions, on the front end.
You do have the option to upgrade to make one of several higher amounts of commissions, but it does not matter which level or tier you enter, you are still paid the 100% commission. I would describe the platform as a funnel concept.
The platform is a predefined model in which the potential can potentially reach income in the tens of thousands of dollars per month.
The concept is simple. You need to join, then go through the webinars, have a merchant account such as Pay Pal (step by step instructions included), start blogging. Then every day you want to spend about 1 hour per day blogging and marketing. That is it. A pretty simple system.
In my opinion, this platform is still very ground level, but it is also growing at a very exponential rate.
Click on any banner on the page to review the webinar and join. Of course, like any other offer, you can opt out at any time.

Multiple Streams Of Income Read This Closely, YOUR Income Is At Stake
So far we have discussed affiliate marketing, scams, advertising a little, and affiliate drop shipping.
Let’s delve a little into multiple streams of income. During December 2011, I decided to jump into multiple streams of income. All with one goal only - try programs that do not cost one cent to start or no more than $10.00 anyway. After all, if you are making all that money, as you claim you are, why should I pay much to replicate your system? Right? It either works or it doesn’t.
By far, the quickest success was what is known as ZNZ (Zip Nada Zilch). There are two programs here, both intertwined as ZNZ One and ZNZ Big Cash. According to website informer, ZNZ has hit in the top 5,000 websites with a current Alexa rank of 13,111 and 59,433 daily visitors with over 429,000 page views daily.
The concept is great, free, and easy. ZNZ has vendors (some fortune 500) that subscribe to their website. To become a ZNZ affiliate, all you do is go to the website, sign up for free trial offers (cancel with no cost if needed), and when you get 1.00 credit, you can register to become an affiliate.
If you want to try this go to my url, and if you sign up, you will receive a free marketing dashboard, which automatically notifies you of a new sign up, as well as has a free auto responder, which automatically sends emails to your new sign ups. ZNZ will automatically pay you $20 to $80 per sign up directly to your Pay Pal account or to you by check. I really like the program, because it is simple, easy, and not time consuming. My first two days after signing up to both ZNZ One and ZNZ Big Cash, and becoming an affiliate, I made $300.
Go to my url and it will fully explain the concept:

The next avenue I decided on was ClickBank affiliate. To become an affiliate, as in ZNZ, it is free. With ClickBank, this opportunity is great if you already have your own website as I do. ClickBank Vendor payouts can be very high, even up over $75, and/or reoccurring monthly commissions. As with ZNZ, Click Bank has its own affiliate dashboard which automatically tracks income due to you. Clickbank’s Alexa ranking is number 244 with over 2 million visitors per day. Over 10.6 million page loads per day. Wow!
If you are interested in Clickbank, here is the url:

The final stream of income I am working on is a newer concept. I took three days to read and keeping re-reading the intro pages to the concept. The only reason I tried it, was due to the 7 day trial period of $4.95. The more I have thought on the concept, the potential is unrestricted. The concept is a traffic broker. Well, what is a traffic broker? The overall concept is similar to Clickbank, but one huge difference, you do not need a website to promote the product.
The final concept is basically the same as pay per click advertising (PPC), except you are the Vendor of the ad. Not some huge company. So the dashboard comes pre-loaded with many websites that want you to promote their product (as well as pre made text and banner ads – all routed through your vendor ID). Payouts can be over $102.00 conversion and/or reoccurring commissions.
So you ask, if I do not have a website, how I post an ad. Well this is the traffic broker concept. The website has a “lead generator” based on the product you want to promote. The lead generator produces 100 relevant to your ad website leads at a time. You can generate as many as you want. So, you as the broker, visit each website, and contact the owner or administrator.
If the administrator agrees to accept your ad, the owner of the website places your text or banner you chose to promote (pre-made for you) on his/her website, and the owner now gets paid a huge commission for advertising usually about 2/3 of the advertisers agreed rate, and you, as the broker get 1/3. The biggest advantage to the website owner you approach is that instead of getting a few cents pay per click, the administrator can get as much as 2/3 of $102.00 (you get 1/3), or more.
Now, if you study on this concept, and let’s say you land a contract with a website that gets 150,000 visitors per day, then it doesn’t take very many of those type websites to generate a huge income monthly. Every time, someone clicks on the ad, and converts, you get paid.
Granted, this is the most time consuming concept, but due to automation at the broker website, you are mostly spending time emailing website owners to solicit their website to post your ad. The payout potential here is huge. The passive income again, can be huge.
I encourage you to go this url and read the intro, study the intro, and then reread it again. I do not believe this concept has fully caught on yet, but in the end, it would akin to some huge companies getting a little smaller, and us small guys getting huge!
You can go this url: http://jdcookeiii.tbrokers.hop.clickbank.net
Yes, the traffic brokers concept is affiliated with ClickBank!
So, in end, as the saying goes don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Multiple streams of income are the success to the internet entrepreneur. I have just presented three concepts I have tried that works, all for less than $10.00.
You can go to my website home page and see examples of both clickbank banner ads, traffic brokers ads, and the other huge companies ads. Can you tell which one is which?

Is Drop Shipping Products a Legitimate potential to Make Money Online?
Is Drop Shipping Products a Legitimate potential to Make Money Online?
Internet retail sales are forecasted to increase to over $245 Billion annually by 2014.
If you choose to select this venue to earn income, internet retail sales could be your answer. Let’s suppose you choose this venue for income and decide this is the way to go and you want to sell Widgets. So you go out and buy 1,000 widgets and stock them in your garage. You expect to sell 1,000 Widgets your first month. Let’s say each widget costs you .50 cents, shipping to you is .25 cents. So far you owe .75 cents X 1,000 or $750.00 you had to prepay.
So you already have your website which is hosted by Google or Yahoo, and the domain is paid for, and you list your widget on your website. Let’s say the annual cost of the prepaid website and template is $120 annually or $12 per month.
So your first month of selling widgets, you decide to list them on your website for $2.00 each shipping included and you have the first month expense of $762.00 (overhead).
Then you get your first order for 10 Widgets. So you earned $20.00 gross income and shipping the 10 Widgets costs $2.00 (.20 cents each bulk lot instead of .25 cents each). So your second order, 3 days later comes in for 990 Widgets at $2.00 each. So your gross income is $1,980.00 and the shipping is $198.00 for the lot (.20 cents each bulk lot instead of .25 cents each).
So, we started out at a monthly gross income on the Widgets at $2,000.00 less your shipping costs to your buyers of $200.00 less your cost of the 1,000 Widgets of $750.00 less your overhead of $12 per month.
So your net profit is $1,038.00 for the month. Not too bad right? Well, let’s say you had to spend 160 hours during the month finding your supplier, ordering Widgets, stocking them in your garage, posting them to your website, answering orders, processing and then packaging them for mailing, and going to and from the post office. (We will assume you already had the other costs prepaid – computer, internet, packing supplies, auto, gas, insurance, etc.). So a net profit of $1.038.00 divided by 160 hours equals you got paid $6.49 per hour of your time.
DROP SHIPPING. Using the above example, let’s suppose you are browsing the internet and you find a drop shipper that will sell you each Widget for .25 cents each and will ship for you for .25 cents each(cost passed on to consumer), so your total costs are .25 cents per Widget before overhead.
Now let’s say the drop shipper offers you a prepaid domain, website template, and up to 1 million products listed on your website. They handle all the inventory, shipping, updating the website, etc. Let’s say the costs are a one-time fee of $149.00 and a monthly hosting fee of $29.99 or for the first 12 months $42.41 per month (overhead) in the first year, then $29.99 per month.
So on the drop ship plan you sold 1,000 Widgets at $2.00 each or $2,000 Gross Income less your cost to the drop shipper of $250 for the 1,000 Widgets and less your monthly overhead of $42.41 equals a net income of $1707.59.
Now, let’s suppose you it took you 60 of your time for the month to monitor the website, change the template, track orders, etc. So $1707.59 divided by 60 equals $28.46 per hour income to you for your time.
So had you rather work for $6.49 per hour or $28.46 per hour?
In the next article, I will address the tips to pick the exact drop shipper, and what to watch out for that can go wrong.

STARTING WITH ADVERTISING ON YOUR WEBSITE OR WEBSTORE
STARTING WITH ADVERTISING ON YOUR WEBSITE OR WEBSTORE
I am still learning this advertising area. I am less than one year into this, and after all the scams out there to get this going, I decided to do it my myself - live and learn method. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good articles there to read. But also a lot of them redirect you to the blogger website to sell you something else to help you get going.
In 2010, Internet retail sales were over $400 Billion in revenue. I have tracked a few of the more recent sites I like, but as they get bigger, they seem to grow a lot on their pricing. Buying on the Internet will become the way of the future. The way to effectively promote your products through advertising is the question.
Why is buying on the Internet the future. Well, look it objectively. Lets say I need a new computer printer. Several retailers carry them locally. Well, generally, the Internet sales price is at or below the retailer. So I order and pay shipping. Well, if I get into my car, go to the retailer, buy the time I pay sales tax, I have paid more for the product, than on the Internet. You have to factor in product price, sales tax, GAS prices, and time.
So I have learned a lot on the Google AdWords advertising which I have set a daily budget and spend out of my pocket (this article is not an ad for Google). I like the product, it reaches a vast audience, and it is pay as you go. The best thing is Google gives you free live support phone help on your ads, and the average wait time is 2-5 minutes tops.
The biggest issue I can tell a beginner on AdWords is you have the option to set automatic bidding for your ad placement, or manual bidding. On manual bidding, your control panel will tell you what the average bid is too get your ad on the first page of the results of a search.
On automatic bidding, Google will take the dollar amount of maximum per ad budget you set, and find somewhere to place the ad, and you will get clicks. So this is by far cheaper, and works.
For instance, lets say I am selling an HDTV. I set the ad on manual bidding and I look at the Google control panel to see what the first page bid is and it is $1.25 to get your ad on the first page of the search results. That is expensive to get a click and maybe not a sell.
If I set it to automatic bidding, say with a cap of $0.30 per ad, then at some point the ad will appear elsewhere, or at a different time. If I get a click, it is $0.30 instead of $1.25. If you are selling 1 product, the manual bidding maybe better, or in my case, I am selling multiple products, so automatic is better for me, because I am trying to drive traffic to the entire web store to look around.
So, onward we go. If you have a few minutes, please go to my webstore and give me some honest input on the good, bad, ugly, and what I should change. Thanks, John
