A New Way to JV Partner
Posted by E Brian Rose on May 10, 2012 | 2 Comments
Back in my professional poker playing days, we had something called a “save”. We all knew you couldn’t possibly cash in on every tournament we entered, so we sought out partners.
You would say, “Hey Joe, wanna do a save with me?” If we did a save for 10%, that would mean I get 10% of Joe’s winnings and he gets 10% of my winnings. That way, if Joe cashed and I did not, I would...

Here’s some news: Exit pop-ups work. They work exceptionally well, too!
There are a number people that will argue about how annoying they are to them. I ask those people: Are you marketing to yourself or the majority of consumers that are vulnerable to the tactic?
As marketers, we are surfing dozens of squeeze pages and sales pages all day long. Naturally, you get tired of the same tactics in your face,...

Usually, when Google announces a a change it makes marketers shake in their boots (i.e. Panda Update). This time, Google is playing around with what could be a game changer.
So, what is this latest Googlism I speak of? How does adding a subscriber to your mailing list without forcing them to even view your website sound?

How Internet Marketing Can Save America
Posted by E Brian Rose on Sep 16, 2011 | 17 Comments
Unless you have been living under a rock, then you know that the country is in the midst of a financial crisis. Jobless rates are through the roof, homes are in foreclosure, the stock market is volatile, and businesses are closing.
I could spend the next hour giving my opinion on why we are in the mess that we are in, but that would only spark a debate that may not be entirely appropriate for an Internet marketing blog. ...
The Easiest Niche to Make Money In
Posted by E Brian Rose on Jul 11, 2011 | 5 Comments
I get a lot of emails, texts, skypes, and private messages asking all kinds of things about making money online. Surprisingly, I rarely get asked about what niches are the easiest to make money in.
I think the reason that question doesn’t come up much is because so many budding IMers have already been convinced that to make money online, you have to teach others how to make money online. This not only sounds...
Affiliates: How to Make Money with Webinars
Posted by E Brian Rose on Jun 29, 2011 | 1 Comment
For more than a year, I have focused a good majority of my business on webinars. I even teach courses that show other marketers how to master the art of the webinar. Why? Because they convert better than any other method of promotion that I have ever been involved in… and believe me, I have been involved in a lot!
Up until recently, it was difficult for the average person to get involved in these high converting...

What is Link Cloaking and why do it?

You should all know about Google’s Webmaster Tools section by now. This allows you to upload an XML sitemap, letting Google know exactly what is on your site and where to find it. If you use WordPress, then you most likely have a plugin that creates these sitemaps for you. If not, get one.
Up until recently, uploading just one sitemap per site was sufficient. This may no longer be the case for you. If...
How to Make Money Online Even if You are a No Talent Clown

Most of the Internet marketing blogs out there preach that the two main things that you should concern yourself with are good content and good traffic. This advice leads to no less than ten people a day telling me that they are too stupid or lazy to write good content. They say, “E, I am too stupid or lazy to create good content.” Well, this article is for all of you.

The Truth About Where to Find Quality Content

In case you haven’t heard, there is a website called FaceBook that has a gazillion people that are members of it.

Don’t Rush to Buy Product Launches
Posted by E Brian Rose on Nov 17, 2010 | 14 Comments
By now, you are all familiar with the “launch” phase of a product, particularly an IM product.
If not, here is a very brief summary of how it works:
Phase One: The product creator recruits affiliates
Phase Two: Affiliates receive pre-sales letters that they send out to their lists. There are usually a series of these that are sent over a period of a few days. They may even include a free ebook or other...
What I Don’t Like in an Online Marketer

I do my best to turn people into smart, honest marketers.
So… I thought that I would share with you a list of five things that I have a hard time with.
1. I don’t like when a marketer’s email subject starts with “Re:”. This is his attempt to make me think that we have an ongoing conversation. (I just got one of those from Ben Shaffer.)
2. I don’t like when a marketer lies about...

None of It is Worth It if You Can’t Have Fun
Posted by E Brian Rose on Sep 28, 2010 | 3 Comments
One of the things that I love the most about being an Internet marketer is that I have the ability to do what I want when I want. If I want to watch TV all day, I can. If I want to float around on a raft in my pool while all of the neighbors are at work, I can. And if I want to drink some beers before noon, I can.
So many IMers forget that they have this freedom. They spend mind numbing hours sitting in front...
Tip for Acquiring High PR Domain Names

A couple of years ago, I took a month off. I didn’t check my email or even so much as turn the computer on for thirty days. Instead, I got drunk. Every day. When I came back to reality, I realized that I forgot to renew a PR 5 domain name and it was lost forever. The new owner said that he would sell it back to me for a few thousand. I had visions of killing his goldfish.
Apparently, there are more people...
Successfully Creating an Authority Forum
Posted by E Brian Rose on Aug 30, 2010 | 3 Comments
Starting an authority forum can be a difficult achievement. The goal is to get your forum to that critical mass point where you AND other members are answering questions. The reason for this is because you are only human and if your site blows up, you can’t possibly answer thousands of questions a day by yourself.
In the beginning, when your site is small, you must be on standby throughout the day to answer...

People call me all the time to tell met how frustrating it is to build their lists. They tell me that they are doing all the steps that they have learned, but are frustrated at how long it takes them to get a large enough list to market to. My usual reaction is to tell them that they are an idiot and hang up on them. I hate phone calls.
First of all, a list of one name is largest enough to market to. Second, once...
