This add-on is very cool and useful because it not only takes screenshots of your computer screen, it can scroll down while doing it.

An example of what I am talking about is when you want to take a screenshot of something on a website but you have to take multiple pictures because everything can’t fit on the screen at once.  Well this add-on will allow you to scroll down as far as you like.  This means that if you want to save a copy of something like a long sales page as one big long picture, you can!

This add-on is great for saving marketing sales copy so that you can analyze it later.  I remember when I used to take a ton of screenshots so that I could dissect a particular copywriter’s writing style so that I could create something similar for one of my own products.  It was a pain to do but now with Shooter it’s a breeze…

Another great use is for launching a Warrior Special Offer (WSO) on the Warrior Forum.  When you launch a WSO you can’t use more than 10 pictures, but with the help of Shooter you can use as many as you want.  You would just need to put a few breaks in the pictures to accommodate the “buy now” buttons in a few places.

This helpful Firefox add-on is really great for marketers and I’m glad that I could tell you about it.

If you want to make money with Pinterest you need to be good at using imagery to drive traffic.  Remember the old saying, “a picture’s worth a thousand words?”  That is what you’re doing on Pinterest in order to drive traffic to the website of your choosing.

The first thing that you have to do is create a Pinterest account.  You can get one really quickly if you are invited by an existing member, but if you don’t know anyone you can just request one directly from Pinterest and they will send you an invite within a couple of days.

Once you have your account, you need to create some boards on things that interest you.  Then you post pictures to those boards by using the “Pin It” feature within your web browser once you find a good picture somewhere on the internet.

When you pin a picture from a website you have the option of changing the website link to a different website address, and therein lays a method of driving traffic on the internet.  The really powerful thing about the way to make money with Pinterest traffic is the conditioning that has taken place.  People there follow others with similar interests and click on there photos to get a closer look, which drives traffic.

Some people drive traffic with Pinterest to their own products.  Others drive traffic to affiliate products both virtual and physical.  The most important thing to remember is to be genuine.  Send traffic to offers that can really help people by giving them what they want and even perhaps what they need.

So if you are looking for a way to drive free traffic on the internet, this is one way to make money with Pinterest traffic.

The most conventional way of making money with PLR is to buy a ready-made product, set up a website and sell it.  That way works really well and there are a lot of people out there doing that and making good money.

There is only one problem with the common method that I just mentioned.  The problem is that you have to either know how to put up a website and link it to a merchant account or pay someone else that knows how to do it.  In the grand scheme of things it really isn’t that much money that we are talking about, but I have an easier way…

Drum roll please…  Become the middle-man between people that need high quality content for their websites and article writers.  If you write articles yourself, even better!  You already have one piece of the puzzle.  If not, just go to sites like Fiverr.com and find good article writers for only 5 bucks.

Be sure to test out the writers to make sure that they produce high quality articles.  It is a good idea to ask to see a sample article that they have written.  Also look for a good deal; like writers that give you a pack of 10 original articles for $5.

SPECIAL NOTE: Before you sell your pack of 50 articles, make sure they are all original by either checking them in Google or CopyScape.com.

Now you want to create a no-brainer deal!  You need to put together a package of 50 high quality niche specific articles to sell.  Price each package of 50 articles for $100 apiece and approach 100 blog and/or website owners in that niche.  Tell all of them that you are only going to sell a total of 15 copies of this articles pack.  This will make you $1,500 for only 15 sales.  Can you say cha-ching!

All you have to do at this point is to rinse and repeat the process.  With this method, fast cash with PLR couldn’t be easier…

Yesterday I got an email from a fellow Skype marketing buddy of mine from the Warrior Forum by the name of Fuad Tolieb.

He is a great guy from the Netherlands and I loved what he had to say and thought that it would be good to pass on to my readers.

Below is the actual email that he sent:

—–Fuad’s Email—–

There are a few things you can do in life without any risks but trying to make money online or become active in Internet Marketing in general definitely has its risks..

Knowing these risks will put you on higher ground overlooking your competitors. Why? Not because risks should act as motivation to NOT take action, but because knowing risks can give you ideas on how to plan accordingly and prevent possible failures.

One of the risks in this game is to lose money by investing in opportunities, programs, coaching or resources. This is a risk that always comes true but to some strange people like me, it is welcome at all times because it will give us more insight on what does and doesn’t work.

So what do you need to avoid at all costs? The answer is.. Never spend money on anything if you’re not sure it will make you money!

A while ago, I tried to help a cousin out because he lost his job and needed money fast. I wrote him an email with the emphasis on 1 specific method he could implement as soon as he wanted and works like a charm.

What was this method?

Well, when people come online and try to make money, they forget that the local industry of an average city produces more profits than the entire internet!

What does this mean? It means that the most leads are out there in the offline world, not online!

So here’s what the method I gave to my cousin was based on; OFFLINE MEMBERSHIPS

More specifically, offline SPORTS memberships. Memberships people have at Golf Clubs, Fishing Clubs, Gyms, Fighting clubs and many more! This could easily be expanded to memberships outside the health and sports niche.

Those kind of clubs sometimes have thousands and thousands of members all making use of their membership and trying to achieve something but need help doing it.

So here’s what I told my cousin to do in steps:

1. Go to Clickbank and match an offer with a Sports Club that offers memberships

2. Apply as an affiliate and get your affiliate link

3. Buy a new domain name and cloak/mask your affiliate link so that your new domain redirects to your affiliate link

4. Copy and paste the sales letter of the CB offer, edit the sales letter by deleting the buy buttons and replace it with your cloacked affiliate link and then print it out. Also, try to bundle it so its easy to read for people. Then, try to make a couple of simple A4 print with a few bullet points and a call to action for people to check your affiliate link.

5. Check the yellow pages (he used the Dutch version) and make a list of all the clubs in your region or city that matches your offer.

6. Do NOT call them, visit them and try to ask for the manager or the person who has authority to make decisions.

7. Tell them you have a complimentary and zero risk opportunity for them to make more money and provide their members with value. Tell them you are an associate/affiliate to a successful online program teaching XYZ which most of their members would be interested in. Tell them that all they have to do is put the sales letter bundles somewhere in their club where people can see it and hang up the A4 flyers for people to see.

Then, whenever a member goes to that affiliate link (which a LOT of people will do) and buys the program, the club gets credited for the sale (you can give them half of your commissions but just mention the amount they will earn) and you will update them with stats every week and pay them with either checks, bank wires or Paypal payments.

Then its very important that you tell them they can decide how long they want the promo material to be displayed in their club. Once they start to earn money, they will make sure to keep it on display until they believe its no longer relevant.

8. Visit as many clubs as you can for all sorts of offers and niches. Keep persistent and maintain your relationships with them. By doing this, you can update the offers and afford to invest money into making the promo material more professional

My cousin did this and kept closing deals till he had around 63 clubs in multiple cities display his promo material. He made and still makes an above average income by doing that part time.

So, if you are tight on cash and need to make money fast than I HIGHLY suggest you implement the above steps. Its not hard, it just takes consistency and determination.

You can start tomorrow if you want to and start earning the same week, sky is the limit, no scratch that, space is the limit!

Cheers,

Fuad Tolieb

—–End of Fuad’s Email—–

I hope that his email is some good food for thought but even more importantly, some good food for taking action!

Now this is not just inconvenient for the people that hang out in the Warrior Forum (WF), it is really costly for product owners and the affiliates that promote WSO products through Warrior Plus and other affiliate platforms.

Warrior Plus is the affiliate platform that affiliates use to promote a WSO, which tracks all of the sales and directs the money to the appropriate accounts.

But what if the WF servers go down after a lot of affiliates have already sent emails to their lists?  I’ll tell you what will and has happened in the past, a lot of lost money!

I was blown away when I got an email from the JV Zoo affiliate platform announcing that they have tackled this problem for the people using their system.  They have created a WSO backup system that will keep you from loosing all of the traffic and sales due to the WF going down.

JV Zoo’s system checks to see if the WF is up and running every few seconds and if their system is down it immediately switches to a backup sales page on JV Zoo’s forum.  The guys over at JV Zoo are really thinking!  Why didn’t the WF think of that?

Now as a product owner or an affiliate promoting products you no longer have to fear the WF servers going down because there is a workaround in place if you choose to use it.  It is such a great feature because it is hard enough to get people to email your promotion out and even more difficult to get them to email multiple times about the same offer.

Great Warrior Forum server crash workaround JV Zoo guys, I know that people will really appreciate it.

Don’t get me wrong, you need persistence in order to get things done that you need to do but the right kind of diversification is key.  The reason is because success for everyone is different.  To some people success means monetary gains of abundance.  For others it means freedom from a job and having the independence to call their own shots.

For me IM success is diversification because my eggs are in many different baskets all producing income that gives me many choices.  Having the ability do decide what I want and have to do each day with the knowledge that if any one stream of income goes down there are other still producing.

You can have great success following just one way of making money by becoming extremely good at one thing but it leaves you vulnerable.  If something happens to that one income stream and you don’t have a way to recover quickly then you could have a catastrophic collapse in your business.  That is a sure fire way of losing everything that you have worked so hard to build.

If you don’t feel comfortable learning many different skills in order to diversify, you need to learn the really important skill of outsourcing.  This is something that you will have to learn in any event because you cannot grow without it; one person can only do so much.  When your company begins to grow, there will be many more menial tasks that will need to get done and an outsourcer is one of your best options during the early stages.

In summary, a lot of people will have their opinions as to what is the key to Internet Marketing success is for them.  For me the safest road to travel to success is diversification.

If you don’t know anything about the traditional celebration of March Madness, it is for the men’s NCAA college basketball tournament.

While I love basketball, the Warrior Forum celebrating their own version of March Madness is absolutely great for Internet Marketers!

For all of the month of March the owner of Warrior Plus, Mike Lantz, announced that all of the features are FREE!  That means that there will be absolutely no fees charged for listings upfront, backend costs or even transaction charges.

What this means is that you will only be charged for your Warrior Special Offer (WSO) listing of $40, and not the additional $20 plus transaction fees for Warrior Plus.  Not only that but if you are an affiliate through Warrior Plus you won’t be charged the monthly $4 fee.

There is even more to Mike’s announcement.  There will also be changes coming to the Warrior Plus affiliate platform.  Many of the changes are what are already available at JV Zoo.

Soon Warrior Plus will be able to split payments between sellers and affiliates automatically.  As it stands right now the system alternates payments; first to the seller and then to the affiliate.  This isn’t too good for the affiliate because if only one sale is made it goes to the seller and the affiliate gets nothing for his or her effort.

Another thing is the ability for the main system to issue refunds on your behalf from your PayPal account.  This is good because people requesting refunds can do so and it can be done in a timely manner, which helps lower complaints being lodged through PayPal.

That is just the tip of the iceberg.  There will be many more features that will make everyone’s life easier and they are coming soon.

I think that March Madness for the Warrior Forum is a great idea and I hope that Mike Lantz keeps it going for many years to come.

This is a common question and the answer in my opinion is a buyers list.  Don’t get me wrong.  You can and should build a prospect list; just don’t expect it to out perform your buyers list.

No matter what niche you decide to go into, you will always have about a fifteen times better chance at making more money with your buyers list than with your prospect list.  The reason is simple; the people on your buyers list have proven that they will take their credit cards out and spend money.

While I won’t be able to go into a long detailed method of how you can get a buyers list in this post, I will give you a brief outline.

The absolute easiest way that I have found to build a buyers list is to create a product.  Having your own product gives you a tremendous amount of leverage.  A lot of people think that having your own product is just to make more money but it can also serve as a conduit to a buyers list.

Once you have a product that you can sell, you then need to find someone with an email list that is compatible with the type of product that you’ve created.  Then you setup a joint venture (JV) with the person with the email list where they get 100% of the money from all of the sales and you get the buyers list.

You can find list owners all over the Internet.  You can just go to Google and search for top blogs within your niche and contact them through their contact form or do a whois search on who owns the domain name.

Another way to find list owners to JV with is to go on popular forums and get to know them.  In forums it is always a good idea to get to know the people on there with big lists first by thanking them for their contribution to the forum.  Don’t just spam them, get to know them and do something for them first before automatically asking them to mail for you.  It’s just common sense.

Probably the best thing that I can tell you when it comes to what list is best is that buyers are buyers and prospects are mostly browsing.  A buyers list of only 2,000 can easily outperform a prospect list of 10,000, just keep that in mind.

Most people like Facebook more than Twitter and that is pretty obvious by the amount of users that Facebook has.  I really like Twitter, not because I have made over 103,000 connections there but because it is a more casual experience.  If you are wondering why I call my Twitter followers “connections” it is because I don’t like calling people followers (I follow everyone back that follows me, i.e. “connections”).  Don’t get me wrong, there are people that are followers and people who are leaders.  I just don’t want to be the person that is the judge.  Each individual needs to make that determination for themselves.

Liking Twitter better than Facebook is not very popular with Internet Marketers because I have friends that make over six figures a month using Facebook marketing.  But I don’t care because I am not a Social Media Marketer, LOL!

I really like the new Twitter design change because it is now more like a social media site instead of just a tool that you use for mass texting.  They’ve just added a new look and they now allow you to see each full conversation via a new direct message (DM) window.  This really helps me because I used to track all of my DM’s and put them in a folder in case I needed to remember what someone said to me at a later time.  The new DM feature helps me out a lot and it is good thinking on Twitter’s part.  It really makes it feel like a more complete social media site.

What do you think about the new Twitter design change?  Leave me a comment and let me know.

This platform is similar to the one over at the Warrior Forum called Warrior Plus but it is free to use, while there is a monthly charge for Warrior Plus.

While Warrior Plus is the chosen affiliate platform that the Warrior Forum uses for Warrior Special Offers (WSO’s), JV Zoo’s platform has some other advantages other than just cost.

JV Zoo has PayPal instant adaptive payments that are simultaneous to both vendors and affiliates.  What this means is that both the vendor and affiliate will get paid their respective commissions instant and simultaneously.

Other affiliate marketing platforms like Warrior Plus alternate payments to affiliates when the split is 50/50.  That means that the affiliate will get paid on every other sale as opposed to getting paid on every sale.  If you only make one sale you get paid nothing or if you make three sales you only get paid for the middle/second sale.  Most affiliates would agree that is not so fair.

Another good feature that JV Zoo has is that you can be an affiliate or vendor direct from their site if you don’t have a website of your own.  You can even use them on the Warrior Forum as well.

The Warrior Forum has a feature that is called WSO of the Day (WSOTD).  If you get WSOTD the owner of Warrior Plus, Mike Lantz, will send out an email to their massive list announcing your product.  JV Zoo also has this feature as well.

To summarize, if you are looking for a good affiliate marketing platform to launch your product on, JV Zoo is definitely worth taking a look at from both the affiliate and vendor prospective.
