Trying Something Different
Welcome Back!

If you are anything like me, you probably look at a ton of offers and ideas about making money on the internet that appear in your email every day. And I’m sure that, also like me you dismiss most of them. I know I do mainly due the fact that I simply cannot afford to jump onto every “100% guaranteed money making scheme” out there.
Having said that, affiliate marketing still has an attraction – you know, no stock, no customer service, no delivery problems…
My problem is that I, like many others, am promoting internet marketing products to internet marketing types and – damn – it’s competitive and there are some BIG pumped up Gurus that are just simplt better at it than me.
So, I’ve decided to try something different. Something away from information products.
Based on a product I picked a couple of weeks ago, I’m experimenting with an “Christmas Gifts” strategy and first impressions are good. The method covered can actually work all year round but right now, despite a cooling of the economies around the world, there is still going to be a last minute Christmas rush for toys and gifts – and by all accounts the on line sales will increase against his year on last year’s figures. So is it time to try and make something of that Christmas rush, and back off from all the freebie give-aways that are looking to capture my email address again this year (and then push their costly internet marketing products at me)
So as part of my experiment I published this site dedicated to the girls Christmas gift of My Life Portable Simulator. Now if you look at that site, you may think “yuk it looks awful and pretty tacky and it’s UK based” but I can assure you that it’s serving a very special purpose – to help desperate parents quickly choose a Christmas gift for their child and at the same time generate some affiliate commissions for me. Simple really. The site itself has not taken long to produce (using XsitePro2) and I now have a template for other sites that I am going to build around this strategy.
Part of that strategy is to get that site indexed quickly by Google and that is the main reason for this post. However – and this is not a product push, I’d rather not have the competition in Google – if you want to investigate futher exactly what I’m doing, I think that despite the very hyped up sales page and graphic imagery, you will be pleasantly surprised when you click here.
My Four Latest Useful Internet Marketing Tools
Since the server crash last week, I’ve not been able to do much but patch up my various web sites. Unfortunately I found out to my cost why you should never rely on your hosting company to be backing any of your sites up.
In my case, I found out after the event that Hostgator (who I have no problem with normally) were not backing up my main domain over at Profit-Tools.com due the fact that this domain had over 50,000 individual files (they call it inodes) that made up all the pages of my site. So no matter how much space I had under the domain, I was limited to a maximum of 50,000 files or no back ups get taken. Sadly, Hostgator had a hardware failure last Saturday and after some time recovered all my smaller sites, but not my main site at Profit-Tools.com so I was stuck for some time trying to find a recent backup I’d taken manually. I got there in the end, but you can imaging some of the comments I was getting on my support desk!! :O
I’ve now moved my main Profit-Tools.com account over to John Delavera’s Turbo Hosting to give me the extra peace of mind that my Fantasos and ContePass are in safe hands.
So with things getting back to some sort of normal, I’ve spent the last few hours (in between watching Scotland almost beat South Africa at Rugby in Edinburgh) setting up four new releases.
One free, three you can buy – and here they are [just click on the images for more details]:
A free 4500 word report on Memberships and why and how you should be running your own membership sites.
A brand new publication on how to boost your email subscriber list using the power of Social Networking 
A brand new software for webmasters who want to be able to upload, edit, adjust and publish photos and images quickly on their websites.
At an a truly amazing low price, the Webmasters Photo Kit is an absolute “must” for every webmaster who wants a quick and easy way to add photos to their websites.
