Internet Marketing Blog
I have a confession to make.
I’m lazy.
This has served me well in some instances, for example it has forced me to find elegant and simple solutions that require minimal effort and complexity to set up and function. I’ve also sought out 80/20 ratios in my life based on what I really want – not just what… Read the rest of this entry »
If you plotted the growth of my business the chart would look like a steadily increasing line, punctuated by a handful of spikes a couple of times a year.
The first big spike in growth occurred in 2007, which was the first launch I ever did of the Blog Mastermind coaching program. Every aspect of my business grew during… Read the rest of this entry »

The last week if you’ve been reading this blog you know I’ve recommended two courses, both of which I am an affiliate for. In this situation both products I’ve promoted before, so they’ve proven successful, however they are very different in many respects, for example…
Affiliate marketing is, and will likely always remain, my favorite method for making money online. At the risk of repeating myself, here’s why every blogger should get into the affiliate marketing game -
I’ve been in communication with Nate Whitehill from Unique Blog Designs for many months now and today his team have released something that all affiliate marketers should be excited about.
Back in August of 08 Nate and his team decided to begin work on a special WordPress theme that would make life easier for affiliate marketers to create websites.… Read the rest of this entry »
Let me state an obvious fact about Internet marketing:
Joint ventures (JVs) are the quickest and most effective way to make a lot of sales and/or bring in a ton of targeted leads.
The reason this is the case is fairly obvious. You get someone who already has access to and a relationship with a large audience, who then… Read the rest of this entry »

You probably saw and read my review of Blogging to the Bank 3.0 by Rob Benwell from just over a week ago. That post sparked quite a bit of discussion, with 106 comments so far as I type this.
Many of the comments were the usual, asking questions about the product or thanking me for the article, but… Read the rest of this entry »
Update Oct 14: The PPC Classroom people are in the process of launching their coaching program so the links for the free report have changed and now instead go to the sales page. I’ll chase them up about finding alternative access to the report – but it may be gone. Apologies if you missed out!
Go straight to the… Read the rest of this entry »
I wanted to use the word “honesty” in the title for this blog post, but I expect the word “Lying” will pull more attention. However don’t let that mislead you, this article is about using honesty in your marketing, not lying.
At the start of September you may recall StomperNet offered their Stomping The Search Engines 2 course for… Read the rest of this entry »
Gobala Krishnan, one of my favorite Asian Internet marketers and one of my top selling affiliates for Blog Mastermind (I’ve sent him several hundred dollars worth of commissions every month for a year now) just released a brand new course Super Affiliate Blogger.
I have to admit I’m a bit ticked off that he’s done this because I have… Read the rest of this entry »

Back in December 07 I closed the doors to Blog Mastermind. The reason I did so was to upgrade the back-end system that delivered the course and the affiliate program. I’m pleased to say the upgrade is done.
I’m in Toronto now. I… Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been affiliate marketer for almost as long as I have been a blogger and it’s amazing how much you learn as you go along.
I was very frustrated by nearly all of the affiliate promotions run on my blog during the first two years or so. Each time I published a blog post that focused on an affiliate offer… Read the rest of this entry »
I want to show you something. It’s a check (or cheque if you come from where I live). It’s by no means the largest check in the world, but so far for me, it’s the largest one time affiliate commission check I’ve made.
Here it is:
This check is for $4,314.34 USD. I made this money by writing… Read the rest of this entry »
Wow, how compelling is that for a title of an article? I mean, doesn’t everyone want passive income? Isn’t that the holy grail, the promised land and the hopes and dreams of every Internet entrepreneur and would-be professional blogger?
Well maybe not, but let’s face it, we all want passive income and we all want to hear about opportunities to… Read the rest of this entry »
When I posted my September blog earnings of $10,899.83 a few readers replied asking for advice with affiliate marketing. Given nearly $4,400 of that income was from affiliate sales – the largest single source of income – it’s easy to understand why people want further explanation in this area.
I’ll be frank with you, the area I make money… Read the rest of this entry »
A few months ago the very first person approached me wanting to advertise a certain affiliate program on my blog. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the program in question would go on to become probably the most advertised program I have ever seen in the make money online niche, the banners for it are EVERYWHERE.
I’m not… Read the rest of this entry »
