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.

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]:

In case the name Vince Tan is not yet ringing any bells with you, this
is the guy that pulled off one of the biggest firesales of 2007, doing
$69,000 in sales in a mere 7 days.

….out of nowhere.

Yes, he came out of nowhere and racked up the kind of sales that some
never accomplish after years of being online.

He proved that it you WANT it you can do it.  In fact, Vince became
quite the inspiration for many a marketer who never thought this kind
of fast online success to be possible.

So, here’s why we’re talking about this now, in 2008. you see, Vince
is going to do it again, this time shooting for 6 or even SEVEN figures
with NO out of pocket expenses!

Vince has made it his personal goal to show that ANYONE that wants to
accomplish this kind of success online can do it, regardless of how
much money they have OR don’t have to start with.

Vince’s firesale will go live on 18th November, BUT for now, you stand a
chance to win the complete firesale package plus some other extra stuff
worth $1,500 (or more!) by going to the site below and guessing the total
value of the firesale package! And also a $47 instant gift waiting for
you there if you join now.

Remember, that’s 100+ top IM products that are currently selling in the
market Today!

Of course I’ve already put in my guess

Make YOUR guess now by clicking here.

Vince has already managed to get over 100 Top Marketers to join forces
on this, again, without spending any of his own money, so you really
should follow this closely, and be on the lookout for the official launch
on November 18th, 2008.
