Viral Marketing Proves Succesful
Welcome Back!

A few days back, I re-vamped my Unique Content Generator service so that every one who decided they could make use of it, could also give it away to their subscribers and customers. The idea being that there is a one time chance to grab a fantastic bundle of software that will help you further re-write your PLR articles as well as building your complete article sites, with clickbank, amazon, google links built in as well as rss feeds to keep your pages unique in the eyes of the search engines. It even included the ability to add a video-wall to your pages to make them more “sticky” to your readers. This one time offer pays a 50% commission to the introducer.
So by giving away the Unique Content Generator you could actually earn cash from the one time offer. Also, the follow up messages sent to all users of the Unique Content Generator have links to further product that may help them build their article sites and adsense income – each of these links are coded with the introducer’s affiliate link in the message. This offers a multiple opportunity for the person who did the introduction and gave away the Unique Content Generator to earn for no further effort on their part.
It seems to be working. I’ve now got a fairly large commission run to do, with some affiliates recording a nice commission payment in my system. I’m really looking forward to paying out these commissions – it’s a really great feeling to be able to make something like this work and actually create money for those who wish to try promoting the Unique Content Generator.
A second viral marketing “experiment” started a few weeks ago when I got into a conversation with James Grandstaff online.
What a great guy – I had dropped him an email to clarify a technical matter I was experiencing with his Downline Secrets script I was using to run AutoListBandit.com and I pretty got much got an immediate response. But more than that, he let me see what he had planned for his next big membership program and I was blown away. I can’t go into too much detail here as I’ve agreed not to disclose the details until launch day – which is expected to be in August at some point.
However, he kindly has allowed me to give away his viral report on how to earn money from your downline and affiliates even if they are completely lazy and do nothing. It’s a fascinating report where James exposes some truly personal experiences that help him become the success that he is today as well as how you and I can generate money – even if our affiliates do nothing.
This report was the inspiration behind my reworking of the Unique Content Generator marketing strategy – and it’s worked. So much so that I’ve ordered a rework of the graphics of Unique Content Generator with the additional income James’ ideas helped me generate.
Now, I am allowed to let you read this report that James has put together, I just can’t give you any more details yet on his up and coming (and unmissable) service… yet.
To get a hold of his amazing report, just click on this link:

Finally, you’ll probably see my latest pop-up appear when you land on my home page of my blog. It’s offering a free publication of 101 Marketing Gems – and they really are gems. They are lifted from a private, subscription only forum that I personally pay $67 a month to gain access to (it’s that good but you do get everything else you will ever need to set up and run your internet business) and well worth a read. If you are not already a subscriber to my marketing tips and news service use the pop-up to grab these marketing gems to join with me or use this link if you missed the pop up:

Unique Content Generator Goes Viral – Don’t Miss Out
A few days ago I turned my attention to a service I’ve had available for a quite a while, but not really done anything with, Unique Content Generator .
I “gave it away” in some of the big summer give away events and it seemed to be quite popular, but I thought nothing more of it.
Then it struck me. What if I could let others give this away also and somehow enable them to make some money of the system at the same time?
So I got my head down with my Fantasos installation and organised a series of follow up messages with links that would pay the AFFILIATE who introduces someone to the Unique Content Generator – if that new person grabs the One Time Offer I’ve now incorporated. The follow up messages are also now set to carry the AFFILIATE links for a number of products in my affiliate system – so further purchases will also pay commissions.
The result is a BIG influx of new users to the Unique Content Generator and very importantly a number of One Time Offers have now been taken up with 50% of the revenue being credited to the person who did the introduction.
So, I’ve now added some sample promotional material to the thank you page so that if you order a free account, you can immediately start your promotions and hopefully receive one of thos emails that say “You Got A Commission”
If you are already an account holder, log back in to your Customer Account and retrieve your new “thank you page” today. You will find that you can start promoting within minutes.
If you haven’t yet got a free Unique Content Generator Account – it’s time to get one and start turning your PLR into unique articles in less than 3 minutes AND earning some free money from the system too.
A Simple Lesson In Generating Website Traffic
Traffic is the life-blood of your internet marketing.
Without it NOTHING happens. 
There are many ways to generate traffic to your site or your favourite affiliate links, but certainly I find that the two main one that work for me are my subscriber list and blogging.
An example of blogging to bring traffic that you can easily copy can be found here
What I have done here is used a blog to write up articles that promote the software products I have available at on of my sites Software4Marketers.com
I took no longer than a couple of hours to set the blog up and have already started posting to it. The search engines have already been in and indexed it, and I’ve made use of Digg.com to tag the articles and drive fresh traffic to it.
I have of course added my adsense code to pick up on the pay per click as a little bonus income.
I am now measuring the incoming traffic to the main site at Software4Marketers.com as I have included a number of links back to the main site in the articles I’ve blogged.
The point is, this is NOT difficult to do – you can do the same.
It is really easy to set up a blog on any subject for free over at Blogger.com
Choose a highly rated product over at ClickBank you’d like to promote.(If you don’t have your own product)
All you need to do is commit to writing to your blog a couple of times a week making sure you include links back to your chosen ClickBank product sales page.
Make use of the social networking sites like Digg and Stumble Upon to link back to your posts – you will be surprised at what this does for your page ranking.
Include an opt-in to a free report on your chosen product or service and send follow up messages to invite your readership back to your blog.
Place your adsense code into the template of your blog. This is really easy if you use Blogger. This won’t make you a milli0naire, but it will generate some additional cash for your business.
Encourage comments on your blog – it helps build a relationship with your readership, just make sure you police and remove the spam.
Go on, you can do it!
Thanks for reading and as always, looking forward to your comments below.
