Rapidash's comment on Ultra-Advanced Google AdWords Strategies ...
Great seminar!
A few weeks ago I decided my webshop was in dire need of more exposure on the internet, since Google has always been great with advertisements I opted to give their Adwords a try. Knowing little to nothing about Adwords I bought "AdWords Strategies" which was a real help!
The seminar helped a lot in my decision to make advertisements with a lot of examples and suggestions on what to select in what marketing plan. I found Adwords pretty hard to understand at first, but luckily all of this was explained in great detail so that even a person who doesn't know anything about advertising will be able to work with Google Adwords. The cost of this online seminar was OK considering what I've learned.
I was lucky there was a forum as well where everyone could ask questions, mine got answered very well! In the end I was very happy with the outcome. After fiddling a bit with the settings in Adwords, many of my advertisements sent a whole bunch of people to my webshop (17% increase) which resulted in my earnings going up as well with about 10%.
Rapidash's comment on Follow-Up Marketing Guide ...
A fine "down to earth" guide
Some time ago my webshop wasn't doing well and I had no idea why. A friend of mine recommended "Follow Up Marketing Guide" to boost my shop's exposure on the internet and thus getting a lot of new potential customers.
I loved this ebook because it gives you hints and tips for starters up to advanced internet marketeers. The examples are all applied to Donlin's own success story so I know these methods work. After implementing these methods and applying some of the techniques explained, I saw a steady rise of new visitors over several weeks; in a little over a month I got 10% more visitors each day than the month before!
The price is reasonable, the customer support is great (I mailed a question and got a detailed answer in just a couple of hours) and the bonuses are really worth it. My shop's marketing has been improved greatly and my revenue has gone up 15%.
Rapidash's comment on Internet Marketing Cure ...
A new breeze
I've read many ebooks about marketing over the course of a few months, trying to improve my knowledge so I could apply it to my webshop and get some more revenue. The problem with all the ebooks I've read is many explain the same thing, Internet Marketing Cure tries to tell a new story.
I've followed the examples from the book and adjusted my business plan of my webshop with little bits at a time and since a few months I really make 10% more money. The ebooks are very clear about what you can achieve with it. I've found the techniques explained not too easy but luckily all of their examples helped me to fully understand the things that are talked about. I can also say that questions by email get responded to very quickly, I got a reply in just a little over a day.
You get good stuff for the price, customer support is great and following the "no nonsense plan" helped me expand my business and boosted my visitors by 15%.
Rapidash's comment on Small Business Power Marketing Strategies ...
Pricey but effective
I was in dire need of a new marketing strategy a few months ago, things weren't going really smooth at all with my webshop so I went looking for ebooks or courses on the internet, that's when I stumbled upon SBPMS.
The course was great, Geary and Nealon kept it professional but down to earth so everyone could understand what they were talking about. After I watched the course I applied some of the techniques shown, they were very easy to put into my webshop, especially thanks to the examples given. I got more backlinks to my site which resulted into getting about 130 visitors more each day. Sales went up 10% with just a few minor adjustments that the course suggested.
The price is high, but the results are there, so I was glad I took my chances and got this course.
Rapidash's comment on SEO Secret Recipe ...
SEO ebook that works
I had a lot of trouble to get my webshop ranked decently in the Google search results. I had no idea of the concept of SEO until a few months ago when I ran into a friend who bought SEO Secret Recipe. He said it was great and would surely help me out.
And boy, did it help me out! The book was very clear and straightforward with plenty of examples applied to their "example site". I applied the same things they show in the book to my webshop's pages, and remarkably it was just a little over 2 weeks later my webshop appeared on the first page of a Google search! This also resulted in getting way more visitors (about 150 more each day), and I sold quite a bit more goods than before. Emails with questions get responded to fast as well (I got a response in less than 2 days).
The price is somewhat hefty, but when applying the techniques shown you will see it is definitely worth it.
Rapidash's comment on Secret Google Tactics ...
The secrets uncovered
The key to get more visitors to my shop was to get ranked higher in the Google search results. I needed a good book on this subject and Secret Google Tactics seemed decent. Here's my experience with it.
Let me start with telling you this book is fairly easy for people who don't know SEO or how to advertise properly at all. I didn't know much of it and had no problems understanding any methods explained. I haven't taken Loh's training, but the results I got have proven that the techniques explained in the ebook work. I saw my pagerank rise from 1 to 4 in about 5 weeks. This resulted in getting way more visitors, some days I got up to 40% more visits to my webshop! My shop's profit went up 13%, couldn't be happier about that.
I can say I'm very satisfied with this ebook, there's a whole lot of negative reviews about it, but my shop's living proof this ebook is not a scam or a fake at all. One can only hope Google doesn't adapt their pagerank algorithm too much so the techniques explained in this ebook keep working.
Rapidash's comment on Website Marketing Bible ...
Too expensive, but it works
A few months ago I was "into" internet marketing a lot. That's when I decided to get a number of books that explain the principles and methods used by famous companies and marketeers. Website Marketing Bible seemed a good ebook to begin with.
I've learned quite a bit from this book. The techniques explained are very easy to follow thanks to the many examples. I once had a problem with one of my webshop's pages not loading anymore, I mailed Cheney and got a reply in about a week, not exactly fast for the price I had to pay for this package, I expected a somewhat better customer support. Luckily his mail contained the perfect solution to my problem.
The bonus books are great, thanks to their additional tips and tricks my webshop's revenue went up with 15% and I got a huge user boost (about 25%). In the end, the price is not really worth what they're offering if you ask me, I think $40 to $50 would be a much fairer price.
Rapidash's comment on Internet Marketing Legal Secrets Revealed ...
One of the better marketing ebooks
I've had my webshop for a few years now but the legal stuff has always baffled me. The friend I run the shop with advised me to get a book and read up on the legal side of the business. That's when I turned to Internet Marketing Legal Secrets Revealed.
I wanted to do two things at once, know some more marketing tricks while learning about the legal side of the picture. This book explains both very well. I've learned to take more care thanks to the examples given in ebook. Things they've shown have actually already happened to me and I'm glad I never had to face the consequences. I found it particularly easy to read, in just a few evenings I was back up to date with the whole marketing world. The legal side took me a bit longer but luckily all difficult terms are explained.
Thanks to this book I have become a better marketeer and learned some of the legal things you need to take care with. What is most appealing of this book if you ask me, is the seamless transitions between the marketing and the legal side of things. Very clear and without any difficulty.
Rapidash's comment on Internet Video Marketing Secret ...
Great marketing videos
When talking about advertising your webshop on the internet, marketing is a thing that is one of the main keys to success. I have a webshop and I found out about this a couple of months ago when I started reading articles about internet marketing, but what's even better than articles, are videos.
This video package starts with the basic ideas of internet marketing and advertising. Explaining how important things like meta tags and correct use of keywords can affect the ranking in any search result of any search engine, but Google in particular.
The videos are divided in several parts, each part talking about a specific idea of internet marketing with plenty of examples, which were very helpful when applying the techniques shown to my webshop. I really had no trouble at all getting things done as explained in the videos. After just a little over 3 weeks I saw a noticeable increase in products getting sold in my webshop. The number of visitors has increased with about 10% as well! I once emailed Alice with a question I had and she replied in a matter of hours, great customer care.
If you're not the reader type, give these videos a try, they are real helpful!
Rapidash's comment on SEOVideoGold ...
Wonderful SEO guide
I have a webshop, in the last few years of running it I've learned that "Search Engine Optimization" is extremely important. Most people only check out the first couple of results in, for example, Google's search results.
SEOVideoGold, unlike it's name starts off with an ebook, talking about the basics of SEO and how it works. The key to great SEO for any site is understanding how search engines work and this guide really explains it well. The examples given are very "newbie-friendly" and anyone should be able to understand the key concepts.
This guide also explains what you can do with video, such as uploading promo videos to Youtube and making sure you get a lot of viewers, which in turn will drop by in your webshop and possibly buy something. I've given this a try a few weeks ago and because all my videos link to my website, my site's pagerank has risen 2 points already. Thanks to this, I've noticed a steady increase of visitors to my webshop and revenue has gone up with 12%!
I've found this ebook very easy to read and the 2 people who wrote it answered my questions in a matter of days. Thanks to the fairly easy ways of SEO explained I've gained quite a bit of profit already.
Rapidash's comment on Dirty Marketing Playbook ...
Play dirty
After trying numerous of conventional methods to increase traffic to my webshop, I wanted to give the "less obvious" tricks a go. After checking out the black hat tricks I found out about Dirty Marketing Playbook, which was a feast to my marketeer's eye.
The book explains several "under the belt" methods to advertise and make a working marketing plan. Not very hard, but risky if you throw them all together in one coherent whole. The examples given tell you enough of what you need to know to apply the techniques explained. Throughout the book King also addresses the possible consequences if you "over do it". Nonetheless, the stuff explained in this book is marvelous, I've played it safe and only tried out a handful of tricks and my revenue rose over 10 percent!
Like the black hat series, this book has to be read with care and the methods explained in the book shouldn't be applied all at once or you might be worse off than when you started!
Rapidash's comment on Internet Marketing Video ...
Helpful but not always easy
I cannot tell you how important I find correct use of internet marketing, I have a webshop and my whole revenue depends on making the right decisions regarding marketing and advertising. I wanted to learn more about it and I stumbled upon "Internet Marketing Video", at first it didn't seem very appealing, but I decided to give it a try anyway.
The seven videos are very useful. Narrated by a clear voice and (luckily) in "understandable English". Thank God there are a lot of examples in the video because some techniques explained just blew my mind away with the complexity of them. I particularly like the fact each video can be seen as a separate chapter in the series. After applying methods shown in the videos to my webshop, I noticed an increase in buyers, so I can say these videos are definitely worth watching.
If you have some cash to spare, have your own shop and want to get some extra customers, this video package will help you on your way.
Rapidash's comment on Internet Marketing Head Start ...
Would've been better as a video course
Lately my webshop was struggling to keep up with the latest items and I saw my revenue decline dangerously. I had to take action and decided the best way to get back where I was with my webshop was to invest into new ways of internet marketing. I bought several ebooks and marketing packages, "Internet Marketing Head Start" was one of them.
Let me start off by saying this package contains audio files, so you can listen to them on your mp3 player while in public transit (which is what I did). The audio quality is decent and the voice of the person talking is understandable. These 5 audio "modules" start from the beginning, explaining the basics of internet marketing and continue to advanced techniques later in the course. I found it particularly hard to apply the explained methods without clear examples or a video showing what you have to do exactly. So this package might not be for everyone.
I've learned some things from this audio course, but I didn't find it extremely useful. It would've been better if they made it a video course instead of only audio. If you want to learn a thing or two about marketing while you're on the bus, give this a go.
Rapidash's comment on Pro From Go - Internet Marketing Community & Resources ...
Valuable resources
I never intended to achieve a status of "marketing guru". Nor do I have that status at the moment, but this "package" has certainly taught me a lot concerning marketing techniques and visions. These came in handy when I was making my marketing plan for my webshop.
The membership fee is somewhat high if you ask me, beginners might leave this aside because of it. But I took my chances and am happy I did. The Marketing Community Resources contain a huge amount of information that is of enormous value to anyone busy with internet marketing. I found the "Traffic Generation Secrets" particularly interesting because that's what I wanted to achieve for my webshop. The guides were very helpful and clear. Easy to read, and with plenty of examples. I once emailed a guy who wrote one of those articles with a question and got an answer in just over 2 days.
If you want to learn about several aspects of internet marketing this might be your best bet. It's not cheap but it contains so much information that you will definitely earn more money thanks to it. My webshop got a huge boost after applying some of the techniques explained. Give it a try!
Rapidash's comment on Internet Marketing Video Training Vault ...
Videos that make you go "wow"
Marketing is important, ask anyone who has a webshop. I particularly have always been interested in the latest developments about internet marketing and love to read up on different techniques which I might able to apply to my webshop.
The Internet Marketing Video Training Vault is just another addition to my almost addiction to marketing information. The 22 videos throw so much information at you my head almost exploded (but in a good way). What I find particularly important when creating videos is that the person narrating or explaining things has a loud and clear voice, this is the case here, which I am happy for.
I've learned quite a few new things from these videos, in particularly how to combine good marketing with SEO and how to change some of your metatags in webpages to get ranked higher. Also the techniques explained how to make sure people are satisfied with the product they buy from my webshop is something I found informative.
This video package is a must have for anyone with a webshop, give it a try.
Rapidash's comment on BlackHat SEO Blueprints ...
Blackhat is risky but works
Because I have a webshop, search engine optimization is very important to me. There are a bunch of SEO packs available on the internet but I chose to select the somewhat less known Blackhat SEO package, why you ask? Let me tell you.
They're not really blueprints of course, but well packed pdf files. The techniques explained are not the easiest around to put into the code of your website (or in my case, my webeshop). Luckily there's a lot of information on how to safely put the code in. I have no doubt some people will get into trouble while adjusting their webpages though. Some of the methods in the pdf are already blocked by Google unfortunately, but there's still a bunch that work! I made a second domain that refers to my webshop so when Google "punishes" me it's not my actual site that gets punished. Apply these tricks to your site at your own risk!
Blackhat SEO is somewhat frowned upon, but the methods that still work, work like a charm! After a couple of days I got over a hundred visitors a day more than usual! Give it a try, but take great care with it.
Rapidash's comment on Internet Marketer's Guide To Outsourcing ...
A great guide to outsourcing
I've always been interested in marketing and been reading ebooks about it for years now. I came across this "Internet Marketer's Guide" a while ago and it contains some decent and useful information.
The book itself is real cheap for what you learn from it. First of all, this book is meant for people with their own business, like me. The techniques they talk about are pretty obvious, but most people don't seem to stop and think about them. It's got a lot of tips on what to outsource and how to select the right people for it. The examples in the ebook are great to test yourself if you get that particular chapter of the book.
I've learned much about outsourcing in general, it's great that this book explains it from a marketer's perspective. It saved me a lot of money and time so far. If you've got your own business you might wanna pick this up!
Rapidash's comment on Wealth Masters International ...
Experts and expertise
I wanted to expand the variety of products I sell at my webshop, it's not easy to find distributors that offer smaller webshops discounts or 'friendly' prices. This being said, I checked out some stuff out on the internet regarding this, and Wealth Masters didn't seem as obvious at first but I'm glad I jumped on their wagon.
Okay, it cost me a lot getting into the program, but it was worth it! The first thing they threw at me was a couple of guides on how to optimize my webshop so more people would buy products. The great thing about this is they offer a "person-to-person" chat with professionals who can give feedback and answer questions. The guys I've talked with gave me a lot of feedback about things I didn't even pay attention to. Their answers on questions I had were professional, but real easy to understand.
At first I had to invest quite a lot of money, but it's slowly turning into profit for me, their expertise has really helped me make my webshop bigger and more popular!
Rapidash's comment on Richard Grady ...
Great ebook writer
I'm always interested in increasing visitors to my webshop, so I read a lot of ebooks and newsletters about marketing and SEO. Grady is a valuable resource if you ask me. I've read a lot of his articles and learned a lot, let me tell you why I love this guy.
The first ebook I've read written by Grady was about how to write "Killer Ads in Under 10 Minutes". Such a wonderful article! It contains a step by step guide on how to create a decent looking advertisement. It took me a bit longer, but thanks to the low learning curve of this ebook I had no trouble applying the techniques and methods used. After a few weeks putting these ads on Google Adwords, I saw an increase in visitors to my webshop and sold a reasonable amount of products.
The low price of the ebooks Grady writes, the clear structure and well written techniques are very appealing to me. I'm convinced that his view on the internet marketing is the way to go, and I've seen the result of it. Definitely worth a try if you've got some cash to spend.
Rapidash's comment on Raymond Aaron ...
Born Speaker
I've been to a seminar by Aaron a while ago, it was interesting, especially when you have your own business. You can learn some neat tricks by listening to Raymond.
Let me start by saying Aaron is a born speaker. His presentations were great, easy to understand and not the slightest bit boring. He explained techniques and methods to get more customers to webshops (which is something I want) and how to create popular websites and forums. They're pretty easy to apply, which is a big deal for people who don't understand html code or any other computer language.
He also talks about how to create an advertisement plan for products you want to sell, and how to make sure you don't waste money by bad marketing. I've learned a lot thanks to his seminar and will definitely attend another one if he's giving a lecture in the neighborhood.
Rapidash's comment on Ray Johnson ...
Get your eBay shop up and running
Since I've got my own webshop you'd think I don't need to have an ebay store, but at times like these one cannot have enough possible customers and eBay has lots.
With Build Your eBay Empire Classified I set up my webshop and an eBay shop along with it. The eBook contains a lot of information and articles on how to improve your eBay webshop. I particularly liked the step by step guide as I was never too fond about eBay before and didn't have any experience with it. The learning curve was very low thanks to the many images provided. The videos helped me as well, seeing things in action is always better than just reading about it if you ask me. These eBay guides were really helpful to me and as soon as I've set up my eBay shop and tweaked it with the tips I read in the eBook I started to sell reasonable amounts of goods which is pleasing.
Johnson is truly a master in webshops and eBay in particular. Thanks to his books and videos I earned a lot more than I was before.
Rapidash's comment on Paul Smithson ...
Great tools for website administrators
A few days ago I was looking to put some banners on my website and stumbled upon a couple of those so called "get rich fast" schemes with ugly banners. After doing some research I found XHeader, one good looking application!
Along with XSitePro2 XHeader I've been managing my website and the ads displayed. The admin area of XSitePro2 is amazing, it has a huge amount of options but they're well categorized and have an understandable help text. The SEO tool included got my website an extra pagerank which is pretty satisfactory.
Along with that, I wanted to get the most out of this and got an ebook about XsitePro called "XSitePro Tutorial" which is a great guide if you're not familiar with website in general. The step by step guides really helped me to get my website up and running from scratch.
Smithson has some great products, if you're aiming for a website or webshop with a lot of daily visitors I suggest you get the tools he made, they really helped me a lot.
Rapidash's comment on Jason Mangrum ...
Great speaker, useful information!
Friends of mine have seen Mangrum on a conference some time ago and as they know I have a webshop, they told me I should definitely go to a conference where he's a speaker. So I did some time after and it was a wonderful experience.
Mangrum is a natural speaker, his lectures are very clear. During these lectures he explained how he got to where he is today and how the internet marketing world evolved. Explaining the methods he used and certain techniques one should apply to get some success with an online business. After the conference was over I mailed him with a few questions I had about his lecture and he was happy to mail me back what he thought were the solutions.
I've applied the things I've learned from Jason to my webshop and I really noticed the difference. More visitors, more sales, more revenue, I can't ask for anything more. If you're in the neighborhood of a conference where Mangrum is a speaker you should definitely go take a listen.
Rapidash's comment on Dr. Neil Shearing ...
If you don't mind spending a few bucks
I've been following Neil Shearing since his early years of being a marketeer. When ScamFreeZone went live I registered an account, one of the best 30 dollars I've spent online.
The "registered" section of the site contains way more articles and in-depth guides about how to make a profitable marketing plan for my webshop. The key of this successful site is the easy learning curve and the well categorized articles. I learned a lot from them in the years passed.
Another product I used was Yahoo Exposed, which got my webshop ranked pretty high in the Yahoo search engine. It showed how, with just a couple of minor changes, one's website will get a much higher priority in ranking than before.
Shearing's products are of high quality, if their cost fits into your budget I suggest you take a look and you will feel the benefits of them in just a few weeks.
Rapidash's comment on Michael Nicholas ...
One newsletter to rule them all
With tons of websites blogging and writing about the current news in the internet marketing world I found it hard to keep up with the overload of information. That's when I sought a place where I could get a summary every few days or so. Then I stumbled upon Nicholas' newsletter, and boy, am I glad I did!
The Impact Info Newsletter is just what I needed! It contains information of the latest developments in the marketing world, all categorized and structured. They're to the point, and after reading the summary of the article I was back on track. The tips and tricks explained as a bonus were very useful, I've seen the result in my webshop in just a little over a month. The videos I got were great as well, I prefer videos over written text as it's somewhat more personal. Each video talked about different aspects of marketing.
I haven't gotten around to check out the Order Button Triggers product, but some of my friends have and say it's something I should check out next so I'm sure it's as good as the newsletter. Down to earth articles and tips.
Rapidash's comment on Stanley Tang ...
The story of a sucessful marketeer
Tang is one of those few people who can impress me that I just stop and stare at the screen. I've got his book "eMillions" and I have to say it's quite amazing for such a relative young guy to have so much knowledge about marketing and earning money "the easy way" online.
The book was very inspirational to me, sadly it didn't include clear methods or techniques for people like me who know little to nothing about the keys to success involving internet marketing. However, the digital download bonuses give great insight in what Stanley did to become this good. There's a bunch of articles explaining the steps you have to take and I can say they work but not on such a scale as Tang.
I think Tang is one great guy if it comes to marketing, his book is a must read for anyone looking for opportunities on the internet and in the marketing business. Don't feel shy to ask him questions, I did, and got replies in days!
Rapidash's comment on Ted Ciuba ...
Read the ebooks, they're worth it
Ciuba is one weird personality if you ask me. I've got in touch with his doings a few weeks ago and was interested in how he made his name in the marketing world. I got his ebooks and checked them out in the weeks after.
They're both about copyrwriting and I've learned a lot from the articles written. The methods and techniques explained to spread the word about something, in this case my webshop, were very easy to follow and I started to see the results right away. Last week I had remarkably more visitors and sales than the weeks before which is a great thing.
Ted's success, according to me, is because he doesn't have his head up in the clouds and is a down to earth man. The stuff he writes is very clear, structured in chapters and has an acceptable learning curve for anyone wanting to pick up any of the subjects he's been talking about.
My experience with Ciuba has been great, his ebooks gave me more insight in the whole copywriting and marketing world which lead to more sales in my webshop.
Rapidash's comment on Ross Goldberg ...
Great products from a great guy
The hardest part of having my own webshop seems to be getting ranked high enough in the index of search engines. After countless hours of tweaking I gave up and turned towards Goldberg's works for help.
I got myself a copy of the Traffic Manifesto course and was blown away by the amount of information it holds. Many, many articles talk about search engine optimization and show techniques how to get a better pagerank on Google. Well written, structured in chapters with a somewhat decent learning curve.
After getting familiar with his course, I got myself Master Seminar which has thought me even more. The price is reasonable and the videos are of excellent quality. One of my friends wasn't satisfied with the Video Cash Machine though, he asked his money back and Goldberg gave it back without any hassle. Definitely worth the try!
Rapidash's comment on Sherman Hu ...
Blog your way to success
A couple months ago I wanted to get started with blogging about my webshop and the stuff I sell in it to attract more customers. I started on my own not knowing what techniques are used to reel in more visitors but then I stumbled upon Hu's website about blogs.
I learned a lot by reading the resources available there. There's a bunch of useful articles about advertising your own shop and about creating the best possible marketing-related blogposts. Most articles are very clear with a bunch of examples and have a low learning curve. ShermanHu. tv is a nice addition to this as it provides answers to frequently asked questions.
These two things helped me set up my Wordpress blog and after a couple of months I noticed I got a decent Google Pagerank and more and more people seemed to come visit my shop. This in turn resulted into more stuff getting sold in my shop. I'm really happy I found out about Sherman Hu's work as it has helped me a lot and I've learned a lot concerning blogging and marketing in general.
Rapidash's comment on Lanty Paul ...
Great Resource Center
I started out with the Auto Cash System a few weeks ago and the results are already paying off. 2 well written, structured and clear ebooks is what this package has to offer, but it's more than enough to get one started in the internet business. After a few days I discovered it was way more than that!
I found out about the resource center which holds tremendous amounts of information, tips and articles concerning advertising, internet marketing and helping you set up your own business. I've learned a lot by going though the articles and audio lessons. I love the fact you can submit a question and almost get an instant answer, I once had some trouble understanding what they meant when a technique was explained and I got a clear answer in less than two hours.
The Auto Cash System is something you have to spend some time with to start getting some cash, but the articles helped me get started and raise the revenue of my webshop.
Rapidash's comment on Vic Franqui ...
That little bit more
I wasn't too excited when I first found out about Franqui, once a scam, always a scam is what people say. But this guy is the exception that confirms the rule.
Blogger Unleashed is one of my favorite websites at the moment. The amount of valuable marketing information is amazing. It could be a bit more structured, but the articles are well written and aren't too hard to understand for newcomers to the internet marketing business. I love the fact other bloggers keep contributing to it as well. I've applied some techniques explained by Franqui and saw my revenue rise over time, I earned 15% more in the last couple of months thanks to Blogger Unleashed.
It's these kind of communities that offer that little bit more than another website. Friendly folks, informative, clear and always up to date. If this site isn't in your bookmarks yet, I suggest you go take a look.
Rapidash's comment on Matt Gagnon ...
One of the best manuals I've ever read!
Million Dollar Manual, sounded too good to be true at first, but hey, here I am about six months later and my business is doing great!
I bought the manual half a year ago as some people I know told me it's great for people who have their own small business. The first thing I noticed is the learning curve, it's pretty low so anyone with some common sense and knowledge will be able to learn from this. The price of the package is reasonable if you look at the results I have now.
The package is divided into chapters and I always found it handy to be able to take a break from it and get back to it a few days later. Well structured and clear examples are the strength of this manual. Thanks to his mail marketing I also got a handful more customers than expected. Definitely a must have for anyone starting their own business!
My business skyrocketed in just six months after getting Million Dollar Manual, give it a try!
Rapidash's comment on Stephen Ducharme ...
Takes time, might not be worth it for everyone
I always want to attract more visitors to my webshop and not having to spend a lot of cash on it is always something good. I've found out about Ducharme's "How to get one million visitors" program while looking for cheap ways to increase my revenue.
The first thing I noticed about this course is pretty obvious, one million visitors is a huge overstatement but still, getting a couple hundreds more potential buyers is very much appreciated. The techniques explained are very comprehensible and accessible for people with no marketing experience. Yes, the key is advertising on channels that are free and create a network, but all this is explained in great detail.
The biggest problem is convincing other people into a joint venture, some methods on how to convince people are explained but additional research is required if you want to team up with a heatly business. It worked out for me and now we both get a lot more customers, not the million promised but about 750 more a week, which is acceptable for the time I've spent with the program.
Rapidash's comment on Shelley Lowery ...
Valuable Resource
Having a webshop is no easy task. The design is very important and has to be error free. That's no simple task and even worse, I'm the kind of guy who wants to redesign the layout every year or so. I've noticed customers like a fresh view and they always send me suggestions.
This is where Web-Source. net comes in, this site has amazed me with the amount of information, tips and tricks and helpful people. The SEO section is a valuable addition to the site and has helped me get a nice Google PageRank ranking. I love the fact that all this information is written for complete newbies to the website design world.
The marketing aspects of her work is very interesting for people with a webshop or small businesses. I've noticed an increase in people visiting my shop and my revenue has gone up the last three months.
Rapidash's comment on Simon Grabowski ...
Saves you a lot of time
I've never been a fan of email marketing, but after checking out what Grabowski has established I was sold to his idea in an instant. The problem I have with email marketing is that it can be too intrusive and annoying. Many people soon regard it as spam.
The Get Response application is a great tool if you want to start with advertising your business through email. I've bought this program a while ago to be able to send promotions and notifications of new products in my webshop. The interface of the program is absolutely great. Easy navigation and lots of details. I found the "cleaner" particularly interesting as some people tend to change email adresses and this results in cluttering one's mailing list.
The automation part of Get Response is something I simply adore. Usually I have my newsletters written in advance and Get Response sends them out whenever I want them to reach my customers.
Thanks to Get Response I've saved a lot of time and trouble getting news involving my webshop to my customers. Definitely a must have for people who have small businesses.
Rapidash's comment on Edmund Loh ...
Too much isn't always good
Loh is a nice guy, really he is. His products are of more than acceptable quality, but if you ask me, too much is too much. He's got so many different kind of things that in his later works he seems to have lost a bit of focus.
I've got his PLRGold videos and must say they're good for anyone who wants to get some sense of internet marketing. The videos show techniques and explain how and where to apply them. They start with stuff for novice people up to advanced methods used by successful marketeers.
His book is somewhat less interesting if you ask me. The co-authorship didn't merit the feeling of the book. It explains some of the basics for students to earn some cash but from my experience you have to spend way too much time with it compared to the money you can make with it.
Rapidash's comment on Mike Masters ...
Beware and take care
I tried the Instant Money Toolkit some time ago as I was wondering what the package contained. It was advertised as free on Master's website, however I had to pay shipping costs of about 8 dollars. Nothing wrong there, but what happened in the next 2 months was just outrageous.
First of all the 14 day trial, I would've expected at least 30 days since it takes a while to get to know the system. It's not organized that and I needed some time to be able to work with it. After the trial period I expected I would receive a message asking if I would want to pay for it, but I did not get anything so I assumed my account would just get canceled. But at the end of the month I saw the $40 bill, I was astonished! This isn't exactly a way to make yourself popular on the internet. The package wasn't even worth such a hefty price as it only had applications that you can get anywhere for less or even for free. The "make up to $4000" is lie, $40-$100 is realistic if you spend a lot of time with the program.
Rapidash's comment on Don Crowther ...
Be smart and check out SMARTS
I've come a long way since setting up my own webshop a few years ago and trying to get enough customers so I could live with the revenue I make. It didn't work the first year or two, and even now one has to constantly improve the experience and spread the word to survive. This is where Crowther came into play.
I heard about him through a colleague who followed some lessons over at StomperNet.com, she was very excited about them and when I asked how they were she told me this was something I should give a go as well. Well structured lessons, no steep learning curve and the price was fair.
I signed up for SMARTS and that was probably the best thing I could do for the sake of my webshop. As said earlier the lessons were very clear, and whenever someone had a question Don had the answer right there. After the 9th week of the course I gave the techniques a go, and by the time the course was finished I've gotten a rise in visitors of 5%!
People with small businesses are having tough times right now, investing in courses like this might not look wise at first, but it's definitely worth it if you want to survive the economic crisis.
Rapidash's comment on Harmony Major ...
Excellent when you got a small business
As I was trying to improve the number of visitors and buyers of my webshop I came across Harmony and I can say I'm glad I did!
I first read the Yahoo Secrets book, it was a well written guide to get your business website ranked decently in the Yahoo search engine using meta tags and other minor but impacting changes. But nowadays more people use Google so I moved on to her "Website Marketing for Cheapskates".
It's not something you'd expect at first, sometimes not as clear as her other book but definitely worth the try. Since the book is static and the internet isn't, some of the sites listed do not exist anymore.
I haven't tried her coaching as I'm more interested in reading whenever I feel like it. The books really gave my webshop a boost in sales and I'm very grateful for that.
Rapidash's comment on Steve Hackney ...
Learn the keys to successful internet marketing
I find it particularly hard for small webshop owners like me to advertise on the internet, learning a thing or two about internet marketing has been one of the best things I've done for my business lately. Here's why:
Hackney's Wipeout Technique ebook is a must have for anyone who wants to spread the word about his or her webshop. The ebook itself is pretty clear on what to do. Very well structured chapters are included, even a newbie at marketing like me could understand what was meant.
As the chapters progress, more techniques are covered and as I applied them, I saw a user boost in just a few weeks! The methods in the last few chapters are those "for the long run" so I have yet to find out if they worked as promised but I'm quite sure this trend in increasing visitors will stay thanks to applying these techniques.
The fact Steven Hackney focuses more on the "small business" segment of the market is a plus for many of us. The methods explained fit well into my business' budget and are with little to no risk.
Rapidash's comment on Ted Kopelli ...
If you're not a scripter yourself
I've been following the internet for years now, but I am in no way decent in any scripting language such as javascript. As a way to get some more revenue from my webshop I decided I should have some ads on the pages. Looking around on the internet I stumbled upon the 7dollar Adbox.
This package is real easy to install. There's a manual that says where you need to put code into your pages in a simple step-by-step process. I did encounter some problems with ads not showing up on certain pages, so I mailed the guy(s) behind the 7dollar Adbox and got a swift reply (less than 24 hours after I sent the mail) with a detailed solution on how to fix the issue that was causing the problems.
At first the ads didn't do too well, I changed their position around on the site (yes, very easy to do!) and got some decent extra cash thanks to those advertisements.
If you're like me and don't know any "weblanguage" you're forced to rely on other people's products. I'm glad there are people like Ted Kopelli who offer solutions at reasonable prices. Definitely worth the money if you ask me.
Rapidash's comment on Ruth Townsend ...
E-zines are (probably) the future
I've been a fan of Ruth for ages. She's a perfect example of someone surviving the dot com bubble burst. Dedication and a lot of hard work is the key to surviving in this online world.
I've been subscribed to her newsletter for a few years now and I like reading them. In those mails she explains how she got to the point where she is now, making a living online. Easy "do it yourself" tips and tricks is what she most often puts in her letter. And that's very much appreciated, I've learned a lot of neat stuff so far by reading her newsletters.
It's kinda sad to see Townsend retire and have Charlie Page take over. I don't like them as much as Ruth because they target a more professional public, so if you haven't been around in the online marketing and enterprise world you probably won't get much benefit of their mailing lists and guides.
In the end, I think e-zines and newsletters are the guides of the future. Ruth's work has shown me that it can happen, we just need to put enough effort and time into it.
Rapidash's comment on John Hostler ...
You won't regret checking this out
I was lucky to have signed up for Hostler's Renegade Copy some time back. It costs some money but definitely worth it! In the blog John posts all kinds of techniques and strategies which I find very interesting. A month ago I changed my marketing plan for my webshop to comply with what Hostler thinks is the best way to go and believe it or not in just a few weeks I saw a notable increase in sales.
Since the blog has captured my interest in Hostler's products I got myself Chunk Copy as well. I love the videos for their simplicity as well as the waterfall of information I got out of them. I used his letter for several of my products and thanks to the "master resell rights" I'm earning more than before I got to know John Hostler. It takes a couple of hours to get familiar with the whole project, but after that it's fairly easy to maintain it.
He's a dedicated person and always willing to help out when I run into problems. Go check out his products, you won't regret it!
Rapidash's comment on Business Credit Coaching ...
Saved my business!
Some time ago I had some financial troubles with my webshop and was desperate until I found this business coaching program. It really saved what I had built in the past years!
The price is very reasonable for the help you get if you ask me. I've talked to guys of the program every week on the phone, those calls usually take up to 30 minutes or sometimes even more. They're always friendly and very understanding. I like the fact that they don't use difficult terms that only a person with a marketing or coaching degree could understand. The email response sometimes takes a while (up to 24 hours) so I prefer talking on the phone.
Thanks to Business Credit Coaching my webshop was saved. Together we changed my business plan and in just a few months the profits returned ever so slightly. If you're ever in need for some coaching for your business, these are the guys you need!
Rapidash's comment on Maria Veloso ...
Good copywriter
A few months ago when I was into ebook writing I picked up Veloso's Web Copy That Sells. A few of my friends said it was a great book to start with. After reading it I can say the same, very intriguing how she stuffs all her experience into one single ebook and still makes it understandable for beginners.
I was so amazed by the ebook that I got her e-course as well. It was quite an investment, but I already got profit out of the actions I did that followed the course. I love the step by step guides provided and the transcript is extremely useful when you need to look something up real quick instead of having to go through all the videos.
Veloso is really dedicated and writes with care, both her ebook and e-course are things beginners should consider. This all comes with a price, and to be honest a thousand dollars is a bit much, but if you're like me and actively apply the techniques explained you'll have your money back in no time!
Rapidash's comment on Clate Mask ...
Clate Mask Unmasked
As a webshop owner one is always looking to attract more customers. I first found out about Mask when I stumbled upon one of his articles about the principles of internet marketing. I was blown away by the detailed and extremely useful information provided!
I've been following several topics on his blog for months and to be honest not all make a lot of sense to me but the ones that do are ones I find very useful. Written in an easy to read way, detailed and informative posts, I can say I learned lots of neat tricks by going through all the posts.
His book "The Edge of Success" is something worth reading as well, if you own a small business like me this is the perfect way to start your journey getting more customers. After reading I applied some of the techniques and strategies explained in the book and saw a noticeable rise in people visiting my shop and buying merchandise.
Even though he's a well known CEO, he's down to earth and that's something I love and respect. Some of the blog posts should be less complicating but all in all this guy rocks. Get the book, you won't regret it!
Rapidash's comment on Jim F Straw ...
Worth your time
Straw isn't too well known on the internet but I've been following him for a while. He's very dedicated and usually thinks of new ways to reach the masses without spamming them.
I signed up for his newsletter a long time ago and it contains a lot of useful information. Every month I get another mail with tips and tricks, I tried a handful of them and got a very satisfying result when checking my webshop sales. I love the fact the newsletter isn't a lame excuse to spam people and force them to buy new stuff Jim makes.
I also got myself his "Power Tools" so I could get more into the whole email marketing, very much worth your time if you ask me. Easy to use, very fast and useful scripts and applications for both the beginning and advanced marketing person. These tools made it very easy for me to start a mailing list, maintain it and integrate it into my website.
You might not have heard from him and his website might look very unprofessional at first, but give it some time and you'll love Straw's marketing strategies.
Rapidash's comment on List Millionaire ...
Who wants to be a millionaire?
The name might be somewhat misleading, making you believe you can earn hundreds of dollars with this system which, in fact, is possible if you put tremendous amounts of time into it. My experience with the program has taught me that you can earn some cash over time, but it's far from "millions".
I became a member of List Millionaire some time ago because the lessons were very appealing to me. I've learned a lot about how to build a network of referrals and expand your own advertising on the internet. In the first days and weeks I didn't earn anything until I got to the point where I started the Mammoth List Extreme, entry fee of $35 but profit of $122 in just 2 months. I found it real easy to get some referrals and the site itself is very tidy, never had any problems with it.
As I said, you can get some money out of this by dedicating a little bit of your time each day. If you want the big bucks, it takes too much effort if you ask me. Definitely worth a try though!
Rapidash's comment on Joint Venture Group ...
Divide and Conquer?
The Joint Venture Group program looked pretty appealing to me so I signed up for it a while ago. I'm always looking for ways to broaden the horizon with sites like these. Here's what I think of it.
The "entry" fee is quite high if you ask me. I wasn't too keen on paying $100 or more just to get started but it started to pay off after a while. The first few weeks I didn't see much change and had little to no generated revenue. It all changed in the weeks after. Apparently they invested my money in a company that quickly gained a lot of attention and had a huge value boost as I saw a big leap in my earnings.
The Joint Venture Group may seem confusing at first. To be honest, it's still confusing me from time to time. When you get more familiar with the site's interface you eventually stop worrying about it and become pretty confident when you see you're earning money this way. I remember I was very pleased as well.
Though not widespread as other programs, this is worth a try; the only minus point I know of is the high starting fee.
Rapidash's comment on Joe Sugarman ...
Buy the book!
Sugarman lives up to his reputation if you ask me. I bought his book some time ago because I was interested in how some people try to manipulate others in buying their products. In the end I wanted to give it a try myself to see if it actually worked.
The book I'm most fond of is the one about communication techniques, it contains detailed information about what you have to say when, how to anticipate questions from possible buyers and change their minds so they actually buy a product. I found this particularly interesting and luckily the book is somewhat of a step by step guide on how to increase your knowledge on this subject.
I've seen the TV advertising book and it looked very promising as well. I love the fact that Joe's books are extremely well written and thought through with care.
Definitely worth the money if you ever see his books in a bookstore or online.
Rapidash's comment on Vince Tan ...
Look past the messy website
You can really see Tan has been doing business from an early age on. His experience baffles me every single time. I have been using several products Vince Tan made in the course of his career. Some of them are somewhat less interesting if you ask me, not too well written but I had faith in him and keeping "experience comes with the ages" in mind I recently bought Tube Traffic and it was a vast improvement considering his older work.
Detailed, structured and easy to read are just some of the good aspects he produces, exactly what I needed if you ask me. In more detail, the Tube Traffic program really helped me getting more people to my webshop and I noticed a slight increase in sales as well.
I do agree that his website is somewhat messy, but once you know your way around it, it's fairly easy to get what you want. Definitely give his works a chance!
Rapidash's comment on SEO for Newbies Video Series ...
SEO, quick and easy
SEO is something that is very hard to understand, at least that's what I found out. I bought these videos to broaden my knowledge of SEO so I could apply the techniques to my website.
The fact that the course is split in 10 parts is something appealing to me because it's easier to get back to a specific part if you forgot about something. Each episode contains a lot of helpful information, I had no problem understanding anything and I can say without shame I was an SEO newbie. The ideas and techniques explained may be somewhat basic but it's definitely worth it if you have no experience in SEO.
These videos are particularly helpful because rather than an e-book they show you what to click on what website and I could easily follow it on the fly. The narrator has a very clear voice and has a kind voice, which is a plus in my opinion since going through a lot of videos and hearing an annoying voice isn't exactly appealing.
After watching the whole course and trying some things explained I saw my pagerank rise by 2 and got a handful more visitors each day. If you want to get to know SEO quick and easily, this is the course for you.
Rapidash's comment on Leslie Rohde ...
Search Engine Optimization at it's best
Some time ago I wanted to give my webshop a boost by applying some SEO techniques. I stumbled on Rohde's Optispider and was immediately excited. It promised a huge boost in the Google search results as well as it's famous page rank system. The page rank boost was also because I watched the Mastering Page Rank videos, which I found a very useful addition to his other software.
I find his applications easy to wok with, put them on your web server and go to a page, hit a button and you get a nice report about what's good and what should be improved. The scripts run very fast and take minimal CPU load.
I've seen my daily visitors increase by 15 to 20 percent so Rohde's techniques do work as promised; definitely something you might want to check out if you want to bring more visitors to your site.
Rapidash's comment on Paul Kleinmeulman ...
Not bad at all, really
I'm quite shocked Kleinmeulman has got a bad grade here. In my personal experience I can tell you that he's a decent guy with a realistic view on the future and marketing business.
To extend my webshop I got into the Automatic Niche Profits 3.0 program. I used the Niche ebook to get familiar with the products and how Paul thinks they will sell best. I very much liked the fact you get a whole bunch of freebies (such as banners and site designs). I've used a couple to decorate that particular section in my online store.
The ebook itself was pretty self explanatory with lots of useful tips if you ask me. The Private Rights course is a "must do" if you want to get some decent sales, and with that I mean you want tens to hundreds of dollars extra in just a few months. I really enjoyed reading them and the effects are really paying off right now.
If you're new to the world of webshops and marketing I suggest you try a course targeted for beginners since this isn't exactly easy if you have no experience yet. Definitely worth the try if you're already doing business!
Rapidash's comment on Henry Gold ...
Henry Silver maybe, not Gold
Henry Gold is someone I got familiar with looking for a couple more ebooks about internet marketing and advertising. I first found his 377 self improvement products which were free and I tested them. Turns out those worked quite well and I saw an increase in visitors and purchases in my webshop. Since the free ones gave me such a user boost I decided to get buy some of his other work. But that, in my opinion, doesn't live up to the price you have to pay.
Don't get me wrong, the ebooks are well structured and easy to understand, I had no problem with them or whatsoever but the information given is mediocre. Most of it is just a repeat of what you can easily find for free somewhere else with some minor additions and changes.
All in all, I liked his free things but I wouldn't recommend you getting the stuff that you have to pay for unless you're new to this business. Henry Gold's reputation as a spammer is something I do not agree with. I have yet to receive one spam mail sent by him and I'm pretty confident I won't get any in the future.
Rapidash's comment on Dan Janal ...
Dan could be your man!
I used to work for a company where Dan was the marketing strategist. I never dealt with him in person but the people I know who have are all very positive. I could really see a change in the way my company advertisrd. That's why Danal is great, he helps other companies improve for a decent price and his adjustments do work.
I read 2 books he wrote some time ago and he translates his used techniques in such a way even someone completely new to the marketing business can hop onto his train and get started with advertising on the internet. I very much enjoyed those books as they're easy to read and understand.
I'm happy there's people like Dan around on the internet, I've had to deal with too many fakers in the past. If Dan suggests something, I wouldn't think twice to apply it!
Rapidash's comment on Brian Keith Voiles ...
Great copywriter!
I think Brian Keith is one of those guys that made it in the internet marketing business. Just by subscribing to his newsletter and reading the first few received issues I could say Keith knows what he's doing and really lives up to his reputation.
First of all, subscribing to his newsletter did NOT get me any spam or multiple of the same messages unlike other marketing people are known for. I love his descriptions and real in-depth guides when he's explaining another strategy or one of his planning guides "in the long run". I've bought his ebook about advertising a while back and it helped me understand the key techniques of a well made and well planned advertising campaign.
I'm pretty sure that thanks to his knowledge and the fact he shares it with other interested people I am one of those guys that got profit off it when using his ideas and strategies. I find the information Keith gives extremely helpful and that's why I do not doubt at all that this guy has established some marketing strategies that will last for a long time.
Rapidash's comment on DreamHost ...
Dreams about hosting?
Dreamhost is exactly what the name says. It's a dream to have this company as your webhost. I cannot think of one time I mailed them with a question that I did not receive an answer in more than three hours. I love their customer support, they're well worth the price you pay for the hosting.
Unlike the other comments I have yet to see any downtime for my site, I'm guessing it's on another server that doesn't have issues at the moment. But without a doubt when there's downtime Dreamhost will fix it in no time unless it's really out of their control.
Their price isn't the cheapest around but I don't mind, so far I received more support than any other hosting company I had a website with. One thing I didn't like and is the cause I've waited a while before signing up with them is the $50 setup fee, in my opinion it's quite a lot for just a regular website.
But in the end, Dreamhost might not be the best webhost around, it's certainly better than a lot I know and used in the past.
Rapidash's comment on Phil Wiley ...
Good old Phil can make a difference
The reason I like people like Phil Wiley is because they're not after my money. A person who writes on his site that he only will post an article and send an email when it's about something that really interests and benefits you.
I, for one, find that this man's credibility is beyond some of the other "get rich fast" article writing internet marketing people around. It's kind of sad that I haven't received any mail from him lately but I continue to visit his site every now and then to check for interesting stuff he posts about.
The way he explains on how to successfully make mini sites is really appealing to me since I've always wanted to do something like that. His techniques and advice are a real help for me.
Thanks to his idea of selling various little things on those mini sites I have earned well over $300 so far. I like Wiley a lot and I do hope he will start his newsletter again soon as I always found that particularly interesting to read.
Rapidash's comment on Ken Silver ...
Silver is gold
I've only recently came in contact with the stuff that Ken Silver is responsible for, and so far I really like it. I've become a member of his forum and he and the other people are very friendly and helpful there.
Apparently he's got a bad reputation on the internet, but I can't say that's true from my perspective. His guides on how to write ebooks have inspired and helped me a lot. They're a pit pricey if you ask me but definitely worth it if you are planning to write a lot of ebooks like me.
I can't really recommend the so called "Lotto-80" system as I've lost more money trying it out than earning anything from it. Aside from that his ebook about how to make money online had some useful advertising information I didn't know about. In my opinion the public has a wrong view of Silver, I like all his ebooks I bought!
Rapidash's comment on Marc Goldman ...
Someone who knows what he's doing
I've been a fan of Marc Goldman for a while now. I love his newsletter as it contains lots of useful information regarding advertising and marketing. He explains many new things in those newsletters and I feel like I've been learning a lot about advertising and marketing in general. The way he writes his columns and articles intrigues me, they're both easy to read but still contain complex information. That being said, because of the easy readability, I had no problems understanding anything difficult that he mentions.
I've only recently started using his software, and I can say the shopping cart application is great. It took me just minutes to customize my webshop's appearance, the pages load very fast even when the script is running. I found the prices being very fair for what you get. I can recommend you everything Goldman is responsible for.
Rapidash's comment on TopSurfer ...
Not recommended
I signed up for TopSurfer a few weeks ago and it looked promising but now I wish I hadn't signed up. I did earn some credits but it was only very little. Also, what's the point in earning credits if you have to spend actual money on other stuff to get credits?
After a few days my email inbox was flooded with spam and it just kept on coming in. I also think the games distract people too much, they don't look at the ads. I've advertised once on TopSurfer but barely saw an increase to my website.
The good thing is that you get some credits to start with, but it took me 2 weeks to gather enough to actually do something with it. I recommend you stay away from this site and use other services on the internet.
Rapidash's comment on Neobux ...
You can get some easy money; if you're patient
Neobux has been one of my favorite PTC sites. My cashouts always have been paid only a few days to maybe a week after I requested it. That's very fast compared to other PTCs. I have become a Neobux Golden member a few days ago and I already see my credits go up even faster.
Unlike bux.to they're very open in my opinion and actually listen to people's opinion and feedback. I once sent them an email suggesting they clean up their pages a bit since I think they're somewhat messy and I got a reply in just a little over a day stating that they are apparently working on reorganizing things.
The Neobux team and their forum are very helpful as well. If you've got a problem with anything, you will get a response in less than a day. So far I got about $110 thanks to Neobux and I'm sure much more will follow. Neobucks is awesome.
Rapidash's comment on Kevin Riley ...
Great explanations, good service
I have used 4 of his so called recipes so far, and applied the techniques explained. It cost me quite a bit of money buying those guides but I earned it back in less than a month and now it has quadrupled my original investment.
Kevin knows how to write and convince people. His guides are very well structured and contain lots of information for beginners to experts. I love the fact the videos are in decent quality since there are many low quality videos on the net and it is sometimes hard to see or hear anything.
I can say I'm very satisfied with the work of mister Riley. He's one of those guys that actually know hat they're doing and share it with other people. I'm going to buy more of his guides in the future. I suggest you do the same.
Rapidash's comment on Killer Copywriting ...
A must have for writers!
I've read this ebook countless of times now while writing my own ebooks. This guide helped me write accurate copyright messages. As the guide says you get better at it after a while and that's exactly what I can see when I look at my sales graphs. They've gone up 35%!
I've used several techniques explained in the guide and I can say some aren't exactly clear, so I wrote them an email and got a step-by-step guide on what they were explaining in the bit I didn't understand.
My skills convincing people buying my ebooks through writing these kind of messages are really improved. It's great to see how much influence you can have on someone when you're a good copywriter.
I found the price to be extremely cheap considering the sales you will have when applying what you have read in this ebook.
Rapidash's comment on Wholesale Portal ...
Easy and high profit
Thanks to the WholeSale portal I've earned over $300 so far. The ease of use thanks to the overview and the extensive documentation on how to use has really convinced me. Finding some shops has been real easy for me. I just put the price a bit higher than what they're asking in those shops and people don't seem to really care.
It took me some time to figure out the prices that gave me the most profit, but after a week of tweaking the prices things started to pay off. Questions I had have been answered by the WholeSale team extremely fast thanks to their live chat. If you're into buying and selling business or just want a big webshop with a variety of goods like me, this might be the application for you.
Rapidash's comment on MemberSpeed ...
Get it today
A site I'm running needed this very much. So I bought the MemberSpeed package a couple of weeks back. I think it costs a little too much though, however I can't complain. I had some issues installing and configuring the package and I had to mail them. I got a response in just a little over a day.
Once the scripts are up and running, you can see how good this is. Pages on my site load very fast even with the MemberSpeed scripts running. I love the member overview and the ease of changing several categories of members. I made 3 categories for my site and people already started upgrading their account to be able to use all features.
I love the auto-responder since I'm not able to reply to all my mails instantaneously, this notifies my customers that I'll get back to them in a couple of hours.
I haven't used the banner module yet, I've taken a look at it but I'm not a fan of how to configure it, it was a bit too complex for me. Aside from that, I couldn't be more glad I bought the package.
Rapidash's comment on InterAdMedia ...
Legit but slow
I started using InterAdMedia 3 months ago, reading the comments here many people seem to have a problem with this site, however I don't. I'm patient and it pays off.
To reach the first cashout it took 2 months, I got about $20 by then. Each search gives you 1 cent but if you're like me and search / lookup stuff all day long it the money adds up quickly.
The cashout is pretty slow, it took another month to receive my money, but who cares about waiting for a month? While waiting I just made more money again.
They do seem to have a problem with their customer support though, email replies are pretty slow (it took up to 3 to 4 days when I sent a mail) but they're very friendly and helpful in their mails so in the end I'm not complaining.
Rapidash's comment on Clickalyzer ...
Needs improvement or I quit
To maximize profits for my webshop I bought Clickalyzer to help me with it. I only used the 7 day trial period and quit because of the following reasons:
It doesn't track half as much visitors as other software like Analytics, the loading times of the pages are very long, my browser gave me "request timeout" about one out of three times. The full license costs way too much for what it's worth. And last but not least, I sent them an email about why it tracks maybe only half of the visitors I'm getting, asking them if I was doing something wrong. They replied to me only 5 days later so I was only just in time before the trial expired.
I suggest you stay away from this unless they improve in the coming months. You can find other applications that are cheaper and more user-friendly.
Rapidash's comment on Google Magic Formula ...
Increase of visitors
I used this guide to get familiar with the specific terms used in the advertising world. For a reasonable price Google Magic Formula helped me create some Google Adwords advertisements in less than two hours. I followed their step-by-step guide and was surprised how easy it was.
I then looked at the second part, which has more strategies on how and where to use the ads. After reading it carefully I spend some time configuring the ads as told in the guide and after just a week and a half I saw that my website received more and more people.
I love this guide, the number of visitors to my site increased by 24%. In response to the other comment, I have read their terms and conditions thoroughly and I didn't see anything suspicious at all.
Rapidash's comment on RSS Feed Generator Pro ...
Use RSS to notify people of new products.
Using RSS Feed Generator pro I had a site with RSS feeds online in a matter of hours, I tweaked the layout a bit so it took a little longer than the time it says on their site. Thanks to the well formed and fast generated RSS feeds and code people who visit my site can subscribe to the RSS and keep track when I post new products. I have seen an increase of sale only a few weeks after I started using RSS Feed Pro. I've ran into some problems a few days ago and mailed Mike, he answered in just a couple of hours, applying what he said in the mail fixed the errors. I was so grateful for the fast reply and easy answer.
It's amazing how easy it is to add RSS with this application. In my opinion the price is reasonable considering the great results.
Rapidash's comment on Secure-eBook ...
Will improve your ebook sales
My dad is not exactly from the computer generation so I was looking for an easy way for him to sell his ebooks without a hassle. Secure ebook made it extremely easy for me to sell the ebooks. I love the structured page where you have an overview of all your ebooks and where you have the chance to edit information about them. Thanks to the SEO optimization our ebooks have jumped way up in the Google searches as well.
Their sample mode has proven it's cause as I've seen people don't hesitate to buy our ebooks anymore after taking a look at them. I've opted to use paypal with Secure Ebooks and the payments happen within a few days, I love it. I find them fairly cheap considering I'm selling a lot more ebooks now.
Rapidash's comment on ReviewMe ...
If you like blogs
ReviewMe may seem too good to be true at first but it's actually a great service. To get some good money you need to be a decent blog or review writer though, it's not hard to get into though.
I have been blogging for years now and it's always nice to earn some extra cash by blogging about products. My blog already has lots of returning people so it wasn't too hard to get a reviewing "job".
Through blogging about products I have received over $100 so far. The payments are fast and there are plenty of jobs around, definitely a must for every blogger who wants to earn some extra cash.
Rapidash's comment on Where in the World is My Keyword ...
Boosted my visitors by 15%
In the search to always have an optimized website to attract the most possible visitors and buyers I bought this software package for $60 so I had high hopes for it.
I found this program very easy to use, the interface is very easy to read and use. It generates keywords I wouldn't have thought of at all. I put things to the test and after 2 weeks I noticeably saw my website hits rising more and more. In the end I got about 15% more visitors coming to my site every day.
I'm very satisfied with the result and will use this application again in the future.
Rapidash's comment on YouTube Secret Weapon ...
Will absolutely increase your hits through Youtube
When owning a webshop you always look for new ways to promote your business. Youtube being one of the most visited sites on the internet is a potential goldmine.
This tutorial explains how important it is to use appropriate video descriptions as well as what keywords to enter. I put it to the test and the results were incredible, the hits to my videos almost tripled!
Thanks to this tutorial I got numerous new visitors and potential buyings to my webshop. I wish all tutorials were this easy to understand.
Rapidash's comment on Facebook Secrets Exposed ...
Some things work, others don't.. this does!
I've been running a small to medium size webshop for a while now and I am always looking for new ways to advertise. Since Facebook has grown so big over the years I wanted to start advertising my business there.
I bought this ebook to get me started, the $47 was well worth the money for what you get and if you don't like it there's always the 56 day money back guarantee. But I had faith in the person who wrote it as he's a well known person on the internet and has a good reputation.
After two months of experimenting and configuring how much the maximum money to spend a day should be I can say I see a positive growth of Facebook users coming to my webshop.
Rapidash's comment on ClixGalore ...
If you have an online webshop, give it a try.
I signed up for this well over a year ago thinking it could boost the amount of visitors coming to my webshop. Their affiliate programs are great and there's a wide variety of them to suit everyone's needs.
The statistics tracking page is very useful to see how well everything is performing, another plus is the page being realtime, so you don't have to wait for a daily update to see results.
I like their affiliate network as it will earn you some money and it is really easy to set it up. The payments never took very long for me either. I'm a happy customer.
Rapidash's comment on SuperFlippers ...
Really helps making apps!
I have been making applications for years now and making some for Facebook is the logic step into earning some money by creating applications.
This ebook guides you through the creation process and little programming knowledge is required. The hardest part (and so does the ebook say) is knowing what kind of applications users like and use. Using Superflippers you can make applications very fast and because of that, you can use recent events as a subject of your application, this will result in getting more people to use it.
Personally I've used Superflippers for a week now and I can already say I'll be using this as a guide for my applications until the end. If you're like me, you can make some good money with advertisements on your application's page and who doesn't like having thousands of users using your application knowing you had to put very little effort in it to begin with?
Rapidash's comment on Cash Mails ...
Don't let this site trick you!
When I was looking to earn some extra cash I gave Cash Mails a go. I thought it couldn't hurt to just read some emails and get paid for it. They sent quite a few mails in the days following my registration. The cash per mail was high so I was really excited.
But then a couple of days later I was browsing their frequently asked questions section and I saw that the minimum amount of cash required for a payout is $20,000. That's just insane and I doubt anyone would get there in a reasonably amount of time, and if someone would get twenty thousand dollars I'm pretty sure they would never pay it!
So in the end I cancelled my account because using this site to earn some money has no use at all.
Rapidash's comment on Clickers PTC ...
A little better than your average PTC site
I signed up 3 weeks ago and I must say, I'm impressed. You can get the minimum payout of $5.50 fairly easily. I'm already at $4 right now so I can say it takes about a month but if you got referrals it would take less. The paid-to-sign up improves your earnings significantly as you will earn more by doing some of those offers.
They pay really fast in comparison to some other PTC sites I tried and that's absolutely a big positive point. Some of my friends have been paid already so I can say without a doubt that this site is legit.
Rapidash's comment on Facebook Social Ads ...
It works, if you put enough time in it
I bought this eBook a while ago since I have been using Facebook for well over a year I thought this could help bring new visitors and possible buyers to my website.
This ebook will explain in detail what you need to do. If you're into social networking, you will have no trouble understanding any specific terms. The length might scare you at start, but I can assure you, it reads really easily and you'll have read the whole thing in a couple of days.
It is cheap considering I earned quite a lot already thanks to applying the techniques they're explaining. It might not be such a huge user boost but definitely worth the try as you've got nothing to lose.
Rapidash's comment on Google Website Optimizer ...
Google apps continue to amaze me
Google has several useful applications for webmasters, but for people who want to earn some cash with their website, Google Website Optimizer might be the best Google app of all.
If you have no idea where to put your advertisements you can have Optimizer try different layouts for your page while keeping track of how many people click on the ads.
This does not only work for ads, in my case, I used it mainly to see whether my website had the correct balance between images and text. It is really easy to install this, just copy the code given and paste it in your page's code, wait a couple of days and you will get a nice overview of what works and what does not.
Because this is a free application, you might expect it to be inaccurate but I find it to be very, very accurate on everything it keeps track of and displays on the results page.
Rapidash's comment on Bluehost ...
A decent webhost
I have been looking for a decent webhost for ages. One that is fairly cheap but still offers quality and many features. Bluehost is one of them.
When I switched to Bluehost it took less than one day to have my site up and running on their servers. I love their email support, if you send an email with some questions they're most likely to answer them in a couple of hours.
Although other people say they've had some trouble with downtime, I have never experienced this; my site hasn't been down ever. I'm pretty confident that when a site goes down, a quick call will resolve the issue.
Rapidash's comment on Widget Bucks ...
Widgetbucks works
I first tried Widgetbucks a few months ago and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. Even though my site does not get a lot of clicks yet I do earn some money!
Widgetbucks gives more money when only taking page views into account. So even though people might not be clicking your ads, you do get money if you got over 100 page views a day.
Another great system developed by the Widgetbucks people is Yieldsense. This system will automatically analyze what your site is about and will show ads accordingly, vastly improving chances of people clicking on the shown ads.
In my opinion the minimum payout might be a bit high, it's $50. For people with a website that isn't extremely popular it might take a while to get to that amount of cash.
