    CPA Ninja Course is Live!

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by ben.hoffman Jun 25 2009, 08:42 PM to NetMoneyFAQ

    Time is short so I'll just cut to the point . . .

    Matt Trainer and Marty Rozmanith have finally opened the doors on CPA Ninja . . .

    I've seen this course myself and give it my 100% recommendation . . .

    Plain and simple, if you want to learn how to make money (really good money . . . more than you'd believe if I told you . . . check out the proof on the sales page) online and to do so . . .

    • Without a list . . .
    • Without a product of your own to sell . . .
    • Without writing sales letters or email copy . . .
    • Without JV's . . .
    • Without doing launches . . .

    And (and this is shocking) without even actually SELLING anything. (I know that last part sounds *weird* but it really is true.)

    You can get the whole skinny on CPA Ninja and find out if it's for you by going to https://www.cpaninjaschool.com/?thankyou-page=17339 . . .

    ===================
    But You've Got To Hurry
    ===================

    Marty and Matt only have 625 copies of CPA Ninja available today (it's a physical course in a box, not an online thing. That way you've got everything you need right in front of you as you start to make money with CPA.)

    And with so many "Gurus" promoting it, CPA Ninja is going to sell out fast . . .

    So follow this link NOW . . .
    https://www.cpaninjaschool.com/?thankyou-page=17339

    See what CPA Ninja is all about, and if it's for you. (If you've been trying to get this "Make money online" thing figured out, it IS.) grab your copy while you can.

    I really don't want you to miss out.

    If you read my post yesterday you will now know StomperNet is now accepting new affiliates, now let’s say you have signed-up via the link below just how did I and can you make cash from this great affiliate program? So here are the top methods I use to promote StomperNet offers.

     

    Email List via my opt-in mail list has been a very successful promotion method for StomperNet products which includes their Stomping the Search Engines 2.0 and The Net Effect Journal.  I am currently getting the majority of my email opt-ins via twitter it’s really not that hard, just look at what I am doing.

     

    Blog Posts such as what you are reading now are another great promotion method, the method is simple write interesting keyword rich posts linking back to a StomperNet offer, regular readers of your blog along with new readers from Google and other search engines will

     

    Article Directory Posts The idea here is to write several unique short 200-350 word keyword rich posts that point back to your blog post. Now because of Google’s recent algorithm changes this is very unlikely to assist the page rank of your site and/or post, it does however get more of your links out there on the internet, increasing the chances of potential customers finding you via the search engines. EZine Artilces is an extremely popular Article directory

     

    Social Media Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, etc Social Media and in particular for me at the moment Twitter are very successful promotion methods. I mix the occasional affiliate promotion in with my regular tweets. It’s so easy especially when you are promoting the $1 Stomping the Search Engines 2.0 & The Net Effect Journal offer

     

    All the above methods will take a little work however if you are consistent and persistent you can easily make a good living promoting StomperNet and other Affiliate programs using the methods I have outlined above.

     

    The Plan is simple if you have not already done so sign up for the StomperNet Affiliate Program and then get promoting their offers using the techniques I have outlined above.

    Affiliate Marketing with Google Adwords Part 1 Optimize your Ad Copy

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by ben.hoffman May 05 2009, 03:50 AM to NetMoneyFAQ

     

    This article is the first in the series providing tips on how to successfully make money in Affiliate Marketing with Google Adwords, this week I give you some under the radar ways optimize your Adwords Ad Copy that will lower your CPC, and ultimately make your campaigns more profitable.

     

     

     

    #1 Include keywords in ad copy as often as possible

     

    This goes without saying, yet I see it so often, ad copy that either uses the keyword once or twice or even worse does not use the keyword at all.

     

    My low-down here is: Try to include the keyword you are bidding on as many times in your ad copy as possible, without making your ad sound un-natural.

     

     

     

    #2 Include keywords in the Display URL after the domain

     

    So let’s say you have a direct linking campaign promoting Truth About Abs and the keyword for an ad group is Flat Abs, the first part of your Display URL will be www.TruthAboutAbs.com/ but after your trailing / you can put whatever text you like as long as the total length of the display URL is no longer than 35 characters , so why not include your keyword, which in this case Flat-Abs could be used making the full display URL look like the following www.TruthAboutAbs.com/Flat-Abs

     

    TIP:  If your keyword makes your display URL longer than 35 characters  try for a similar keyword, or something that will make the ad stand out, such as its price, i.e. /Only-$24.95

     

     

     

    #3 Include Keyword/s in Ad Copy Title

     

    This is also another over looked optimization technique, that will score you an additional point or two for your quality score. In addition to improving your quality score your ad will be the same as the Google search engine user’s query, therefore is more likely to click on, which in the long run will decrease your ad cost because of a higher Click Thru Rate (CTR)

     

     

     

    #4 Optimize landing page for ad groups and vice versa.

     

    The Quality score for your ad group is also tied into how well your keyword, ad copy relate to the destination page, so if you are doing a direct linking campaign, I highly recommend running the Adwords keyword tool over the destination URL to find out which keyword are found on this landing page, and optimize your keywords and ad copy appropriately.

     

    If you are sending visitors to your own landing page, either optimize your ad groups for your landing page or optimize your landing pages for ad copy and keyword.

     

    Remember to also use and optimize title, Meta keyword and Meta description tags

     

     

     

    #5 Links to internal and external pages

     

    Unless you want to pay top dollar for a click, you need to include links preferably at the bottom of your landing page, to the following pages and content:

     

    • Internal (Same domain name) Articles or Blog with unique relevant content

     

    • Internal Privacy Policy Page, go to for a free Privacy policy generator

     

    • Internal Contact Us Page Include

     

    • Internal About US page – just a short blurb about your company and/or the products you promote

     

    • Internal Resources page – Containing inks to external on-topic sites and articles

     

     

    #6 Rotate Ad copy and Test, Test then when finish testing test again!

     

    My last and some would argue the most important tip is to always test your ad copy by, rotating two ads at a time. Test enough time to get a statistically accurate winner ditch the looser, and find a new ad to put in its place.

     

    I also highly recommend stealing (or testing) your competitor’s ad copy, to ensure you have the best ad copy to fit the product you are marketing.

     

     

    My 6 tips above are by no means complete there are other ad copy optimization strategies that can be implemented however in my opinion the ones above can have the most impact. I will leave the remaining for you to comment on. We have already started work on Part 2 in this series so stop by next week to get the next part of this series.

    How I Generated US$13,356.89 in Google Adsense for One Month

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by ben.hoffman May 03 2009, 07:29 PM to NetMoneyFAQ

    Below should be Inspiration for anyone who dreams of making it big blogging, the below screenshot is of my April 2009 Google Adsense Payment. God it looks Awesome when converted to AU$

     

    April 2009 Google Adsene Income US$13,356.89

    Figure 1: April 2009 Google Adsene Income (Click for a larger shot)

     

    The majority (70%) of this income does not come from the sites I promote in public but in fact from 25 or so mini-sites that have been setup to leverage keywords and phrases that have a high Cost per Click in Adsense. We are talking about keywords here that will generate you $7 to $15 per click.

     

    I guess you want to know more! I am prepared to give away some information but not the entire process or my niches; these will be left for a future product that I am working on.

     

    So how is it done?

    The process involves tracking high value keywords over a month or two, tracking Monthly searches, Competition, and Longevity to decide the keywords you will target. I actually have much of the entire process automated, so for me it’s just a matter of sorting thru the data to decide which keywords will perform the best.

     

    After you have decided on key phrases to target register your domain, setup a blog, optimize for SEO and then create content. It’s not quite as simple as that but you get the picture.

     

    The great thing is once you are setup this method generates residual income for months to come, and if you feel like a pay rise, simply create a new site.

    The Best Times to tweet Important Updates for Maximum Exposure?

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by ben.hoffman Apr 30 2009, 08:07 PM to NetMoneyFAQ

     

    Best time to tweet in twitter Twitter Money

     

    If you have an important message or article to tweet that you require maximum exposure or Click thru rate for, one of the most important factors that should be considered is the day and time in which your tweet is sent.

     

    If you have a large following timing can mean the difference between a .5% or a 2% (or more) Click Thru Rate (CTR), which for a following of 5,000 twitters is a low of 25 clicks up to 100+ clicks. In internet marketing terms a 2% CTR could mean between 1 and 3 sales.

     

    So what factors should you consider when deciding the best time to tweet?

     

    Country of target audience

    In the majority of cases the US should or will be your target audience; however in some scenarios such as  a country focused niche (i.e. Australian Muscle Cars) you will focus that a different country (therefore a different tweet time) .

     

    The point here is to determining the country in which the majority of your followers reside.

     

    What time are most tweeters sending & reading tweets?

    Personal experience backed up by studies has shown more internet users are online for personal reasons (tweeting, checking internet banking, personal emails, etc) between the following time periods:

     

    Weekdays

     

    11:30am – 12:15 pm before lunch

    1:00 pm – 1:30 pm  after lunch

    After 6 pm after work

     

    Weekends

    Sunday after 6pm

     

     

    So now that you know the country of your target audience and the time in which most users are online for personal reason you can determine the best time to tweet for maximum exposure and CTR

     

    This is all good information but what if you live in a different country such as myself and my target market is the US. But the sweet time to tweet to my niche is 1:30am my time?

     

    In this scenario there is a free service called TweetLater http://www.TweetLater.com that allows you to pre-create and load up a tweet or series of tweets to be sent at the time you specify. This service is does more than just allow you to schedule your tweets and is well worth a look.

     

    Testing for greater success

    If something can be tested then it can be improved!! So even though you assume you have selected the best time to tweet, don’t think that tweet timing cannot be improved.

     

    I recommend that each time you send a tweet with URL you shrink it with a service such as bit.ly (for analytics/visitor tracking) this will allow you to collect stats of click thru rates over time which you can use to further improve your twitter read and click thru rates.

     

    Each time I shrink a URL for use on twitter I take note in a spreadsheet of the following information

     

    Original URL | Shrunk URL |Time sent | My Current # of followers | CTR

     

    Approximately 1-2 days after tweeting a URL I check the bit.ly info for my link to find out the number of clicks it had. Now it’s just a matter of calculating the tweets click thru rate by dividing your number of twitter followers at the time by the total number of clicks the URL had. Note this down in your spreadsheet, after you have been tweeting for a while you will know the sweet time for your target niche.

    List building 101 Part 1 – My Top List Promotion Methods

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by ben.hoffman Apr 28 2009, 04:32 PM to NetMoneyFAQ

    We all know an email list is one of the most valuable monetary generating channels you can implement for your blog or website, and no matter how new your site is you should setup a list from day one.

     

    But once you have a list how can you quickly build your list to start reaping its rewards sooner?

     

    Below are a few of my favourite list building methods that together have seen some most of my lists grow beyond the 10,000 mark.

     

    If you have just read this and you have a blog or website but no list then head over the the industry's leading mail list provider Aweber and sign up for a list.

     

     

    On site promotion

    In terms of cost and effort promoting your list on your own site is very low, and should be the first place you start promoting a list from. If done correctly you should see a fairly high opt-in rate, but there are guidelines you should follow:

     

    •  Position your opt-in form to the right or left side column above the fold, also invite readers to join your email list at the end of each post or article.


    • Don’t just invite your readers to join give them real and compelling reasons to join. Such as how your list will make their life better.


    • Giveaways Everyone loves a freebie and offering someone new to your niche something for free might be just prompts them to opt-in. See my example below (click image to visit page)

     

    Free Ebook Giveaway

     

    Use Pop-up and slide down op-in forms with caution, there are some niches in which they work incredibly well and others which you will rarely get a sign up. I am not saying don’t use them, in fact the opposite as with anything to do with blogging, websites and make money online test, test and when you have finish testing test again to ensure the highest possible conversion rate.

     

    Complication: Medium Complexity

    Cost: Low

    Impact: High but depends on number of visitors to your site

     

     

     

    Paid Advertising

    Advertising weather it be Adsense, Text links, or any other form of paid advertising in my opinion the most effective but also the most cost.

     

    The method is simple create a dedicated opt-in page and point your Advertising campaign to that page.  This method has the potential to very rapidly grow your list. However some thought needs to be put into your keywords, ad copy, and opt-in page so to get the highest possible opt-in rate, and most importantly with the type of subscribers (or buyers) you want.

     

    Complexity: Medium

    Cost: High

    Impact: very High

     

     

    Ezine List Promotion

    Ezine article promotion is perhaps one of the most under utilized method,  which is surprising as opt-ins can be particularly high especially when your site is just starting out, and you are able to write a compelling article.

     

    This method is simple write an niche related article for one or many Ezine article directories and in return you are allowed to place a link to site or opt-in page in the signature or bio section of your article.

     

    Now there are rules that need to followed before your article will be published, and you need to take the time to write a unique article, however the effort can be well worth the time invested, and best of all its free.

     

    Below are the Ezine article sites I recommend, you should also look at an automated way to upload your Ezine article to multiple Ezine article directories  

     

    Complexity: Low but some additional work required to write additional articles

    Cost: Low

    Impact: Medium to high especially if your list and/or site is new

     

     

    Twitter List Promotion

    If you are involved with any type of internet venture, you need to be on twitter period, put simply if promoted correctly Twitter can contribute to growing your list at an extremely accelerated rate.

     

    Some of the techniques I use to promote my list via Twitter include :

     

    Tweeting blog posts Just by regularly tweeting blog posts and your list promoted through out your site (as in section On site promotion above), twitter will contribute to building your list.

     

    Twitter Profile Your Twitter profile should include the URL for your website and therefore will naturally assist in your list building efforts

     

    List Promotion tweets Every once and a while (no more than once per week) tweet a post promoting your email list, choose your words carefully, make your tweet comical yet unique. So it does not feel like a promotion.

     

    I send List promotion tweets to an email opt-in page, try your opt-in page next to a YouTube video with compelling reasons for visitors to sign up, and you will. Also why not add some comedy to the video.

     

    If you are tweeting on a regular basis why not occasionally slip your opt-in URL, again if you have an entertaining video to accompany your opt-in box visitors are going,

     

    The best thing is you don’t need to create the video yourself, find something on YouTube and put a comment next the video that relates your list to the video an example might be Only If this person had just signed up to our list.

     

    Complexity: Low

    Cost: Low

    Impact: Medium to high especially if you are creative

     

    Well that was my list of some kick ass list building techniques, not all techniques are listed, I can think of a handful more, how about you? Give us your most successful listing building techniques in the comments section below.

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by ben.hoffman Apr 12 2009, 07:55 AM to NetMoneyFAQ

    Why Analytics & Tracking with Bit.ly Rocks? When the majority of Twitters need to shorten a URL most look to tinyURL, this is a bad decision for the simple fact that tinyURL doesn’t provide any type of  visitor or usage statistics, you can also forget about getting any sort of decent statistics with tinyURL from Google Analytics. Enter Bit.ly this intelligent URL shortening service not only shortens your URLs but also provides valuable visitor and traffic referral statistics.

     

    The Bit.ly Home page

    Bit.ly tracks the following statistics:

     

    Number of Clicks, that’s right find the total number of clicks your Bit.ly URL has generated at present, over the past day, week, month and as a total.

    Twitter Conversions, Want to know which twitter conversions have mentioned your URL? Bit.ly takes care of this for you. I find this great for gauging how well a URL and Tweet has been received by the Twitter community, which allows you to engage in the conversation, Now this is valuable!

     

    Referrers It’s a fact that even though your shortened URL was originally posted to twitter, it will most certainly be accessed, referred to and posted in sources outside of Twitter. In many cases I find my URLs posted to twitter get more hits from sources outside of twitter, referred in most cases by email and websites.

    Locations Bit.ly statistics will also tell you how many visitors clicked on your shortened URL per country. This is great information to know allowing you to better target your future tweets and articles, at your target audience.

    There is one sticking point which you may not appreciate Bit.ly stats generated for your Bit.ly URLs aren’t private, meaning anyone can view the statistics for a Bit.ly URL simply by adding a + to the end of a bit.ly URL. For instance the Bit.ly URL for this article is http://bit.ly/X96PY so by typing http://bit.ly/X96PY+ or http://bit.ly/info/X96PY into a browser you can see the Bit.ly statistics for the shortened URL of this article. Personally I don’t see this as a show stopper.

     

    If you are looking at using Bit.ly on a regular basis you should sign up and add their Browser Bookmarklet and Sidebar to your browser so you can easily use and keep track of all of your shortened URLs. Bit.ly is also a Shorten URL option TweetDeck.  What are you waiting for? Ditch TinyUrl and other URL shortening services and start using Bit.ly, its analytics will give you the full picture of who what where and how your Tweets are being consumed allowing you to improve and better target your future Tweets.

Your first step is to open up the Twitter search page http://search.twitter.com and type the following search term in the query field from:username (replace username for the username of a user) in my example the above query would read from:netmoneyfaq (the query you have just performed will find the most recent posts for the username you have just specified)


    2. Now you will notice in the top right hand corner a link named Feed for this Query right click and copy this feed address to your notepad. (Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all Twitter user you need published under your unified company Twitter account

    Google Adsense Statistics delays over the last day

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by admin Mar 05 2009, 04:15 AM to NetMoneyFAQ

    Notice missing impressions and clicks in your Adsense stats today?

    On doing my regular checks of my Adsense stats I only noticed only a tenth of the traffic and clicks I would expect to see for this time of day.

    I was not alone, its wasn't a drop in visitors, but scheduled maintenance of the Googles Adsense reporting system which is delaying reporting.

     

    As with previous maintenance you can properly expect the correct stats to be seen after midnight PST

     

     

    Here is what Google’s blog has to say on the matter:

     

    "Slower stats

    You may notice more of a delay in your AdSense and Google Ad Manager stats than usual today, as our engineers will be performing some maintenance work on our system. Please be assured that ads will continue to be served to your pages, and all activity will continue to be tracked as usual. Although it may take longer than usual to see impressions, clicks, and earnings reported in your account, you'll be credited for all valid activity on your sites. We apologize for the short notice, and appreciate your patience as we work to keep our systems updated for you. "

    The Top Twitter Apps and Services I Could not Tweet Without

     Subscribe for RSS Updates by ben.hoffman Jan 09 2009, 08:15 AM to NetMoneyFAQ

    Tweeting via Twitter is already one of the must do things for internet marketers or anyone wanting to make it big online, but using the standard twitter service (i.e. http://www.twitter.com) for posting and reading friends posts leaves much to be desired, as unfortunately all of your tweets along with your friends replies are lumped into a single pane in your browser, making conversations hard to follow at the best of times.  To really squeeze the true awesomeness out of Twitter you need to plug your Twitter account into one or more of the many 3rd party twitter apps and services.

    Now since there are so many Twitter applications and services I have listed down my top Twitter Applications and Services which I could not Tweet Without.

     

    TweetDeck – This is my number one pick, I totally love this free application, here is why:

     

    The TweetDeck window is broken down into vertical columns (as below). Your first column displays tweets from all of your friends, the second column contains replies to your tweets and the third default column contains direct messages to your.

     

    TweetDeck my number 1 Twitter Application

     

    TweetDeck’s layout is great but in my opinion it’s not this feature alone that makes it a killer app, but this along with its search, shorten URL, and TwitPic integration is what puts TweetDeck in my number 1 spot.

     

    Tip: TweetDeck is great on a large wide screen monitor (i.e. 24 or 30 inch), just keep adding extra search columns you will be notified anytime your desired search term is tweeted anywhere Twitter universe (that right not just your friends)

     

    Twittelator Pro – Want to Tweet on the road with your IPhone then look no further than Twittelator Pro, the interface is great and it gives you a lot of extra features that make tweeting on the run just as easy as from your desk.

     

    Twittelator Pro Friends

     

    The outstanding features of Twittelator Pro are:

     

    • Search, find out the instance anyone in the Twitter universe tweets on any of your desired keywords, including anytime your twitter screen name is mentioned
    • TwitPic integration – post pictures to twitter via TwitPic and Twittilator Pro
    • Post Current Location with the help of your IPhone 3G’s assisted GPS feature and piurl, you can post the location of your favourite restaurant or hotel.
    • Who is following Who
    • Multiple Twitter Account Support Have multiple Twitter accounts, say one for each blog or website, then Twittilator Pro caters for you
    • Auto Spelling Correction and Auto Capitalization

    Twittelator Pro Friend Details and their Friends details

     

    Note there is a free version of Twittelator Pro named simply Twittelator, but it does not contain anywhere near the number of features found in the Pro version, it is however worth a try before forking out for the excessive US$4.99 J for Twittelator Pro

     

    Ping.fm -  Have multiple Social Networking (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc) accounts and want to update your status in all of them via a single post, then this is the service for you, it also works well in safari on your IPhone, bonus!

     

    Ping.fm update your status messages to many Social Network sites Including Twitter Facebook and MySpace in one action

     

    TweetLater.com – TweetLater.com has several great features but my top picks are:

     

    Scheduled Tweet feature, just pre-populate it with on topic tweets and schedule them to be sent at any date/time you specify.

     

    Tweet Later Mass schedule future tweets

     

    Auto reply when someone follows you, create a welcome message, such as Thanks for following me; I am looking forward to Twittering with you!

     

    The final feature I recommend from TweetLater is the RSS feed, which allows you to choose tweets that can be displayed in a side bar or any section of your blog that you choose, it’s a great feature I have not yet implemented but will in the next few days, and I will let you  all know how it goes.

     

    Tweet later also allows you to Auto Follow people who follow you, but there are many reasons not to use this feature one of which is Twitter spam.

     

    You can expect more in the next week and this year from NetMoneyFAQ about on Twitter, why not subscribe to the NetMoneyFAQ RSS feed or Follow me on Twitter.

     

    I would like to know your top Twitter applications and services, why not let us know via a comment below or send me a Tweet.
