Lately, I have been testing a wordpress plugin called WP Smart Tools. It’s a plugin that will help people to create landing pages.

So, first of all, it’s tools for people involved in affiliate marketing.

I have tested it to create dynamic dates, geotargeted locations, cloaked links, footer ads and exit popups.

My first thought when I looked at the configuration, was that this seems to be everything an affiliate might need, and then some. There are so many possibilities for tweaking wordpress and making it a very powerful system for affiliates in this system, I was actually overwhelmed by all the features.

The installation process

WP Smart Tools was as easy to install as any wordpress plugin. Just upload and click activate. Then, I had to add my licence, that was all. It worked the very moment I activated it.

The tools

There are so many of them, it will be hard to list them all. I’ll list the ones I have tested and the ones I know about.

Dynamic dates. By a single click, you can add dates inside your blog posts. You can add relative dates throughout your posts, for instance, you can add the date when your visitor reads your post or you can add the date two days after she reads the post. This can be used for special offers, for instance, where you tell the the reader to do something before a certain date.

Geotargeted locations. You can add the readers location, even a small town, to your blog post. For instance, you can tell the reader that, I know you’re in Warren New Jersey, but still, you need this product. Or whatever message you can think of that will help promote your product related to the visitors location.

Exit popups. I know you’ve seen this around. When your visitor leaves your website, she’ll get a popup with a message. The message is usually a discount or special deal. If she clicks on cancel, she’ll be redirected to the offer, if she clicks ok, she’ll be taked away to the original destination.

Location-specific content. You can add content that will only show to people in certain locations. You could apply to certain countries or certain cities. This could be information that you believe will be a lot of help to convert visitors into buyers from this specific location.

Date-specific content. You could also apply content that will only be shown on specific dates, or betwwen, before or after certain dates. This would be really helpful if you apply coupon codes for discounts.

Protect landing pages. With a few clicks you can protect your landing pages from theft. I don’t understand how this works, but it’s really easy to implement. And according to the sales page, you might even get extra traffic from protecting your landing pages.

Integration with Google maps. you can show Google maps in a post or on your page, just enter the address or coordinates and you’re done. This is awesome if you’re writing about something local or specific to an address.

YouTube integration. It’s not that difficult to integrate YouTube videos, althouth with WP Smart Tools it’s even easier. Just enter the url, and that’s all, no need for any coding.

Personal introduction. You can add a widget in the sidebar with a personal introduction to your website.

Display pressure countdown. Many of the most successful landing pages have this included. When you add a countdown, you add scarcity, and the reader will have to decide before the countdown reaches zero. A really powerful tool.

Insert payment badges. You can add images of the most common payment methods in the sidebar. For instance, you can add paypal, visa and master card to your sidebar. This way, your visitors will understand how they can pay for your product.

Affiliate link cloaking. This is important. Instead of long and ugly affiliate links, you can make them short and beautiful in no time. You can also replace keywords with links, for instance, you could do this; every time you write WordPress in a post or on any of your pages, it will automatically be added a link to the keyword. This way, you can have hundreds of affiliate links throughout your website.

Your wordpress theme. As I wrote earlier, it was easy to install WP Smart Tools. It was also very interesting to see that it’s compatible with any wordpress theme. So, I didn’t have to do any adjustments at all. It was working as soon as I installed it.

Four awesome themes. If you don’t have a theme that you’re satisfied with, or you are just now launching your blog, then listen to this. WP Smart Tools comes with four awesome themes.

The price. At first, I thought $117 was a little high for a wordpress plugin. But after testing and looking at how powerful this plugin really is, I have come to the conclusion that the price is more than ok.

WP Smart Tools is many plugins, not only one. And it turns your blog into a powerful sales team instead of a regular blog.

Guarantee. WP Smart Tools comes with a 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee, free lifetime updates and lifetime technical support. Wow!

As an affiliate, Clickbank is a great marketplace to find information products or systems, and software to promote. There are thousands of products to chose from, and there are hundreds of new ones being launched every single week. As a Clickbank affiliate, you’ll earn 25% to 75% commission selling the products. The top affiliates are earning a lot, I’ve heard millions of dollars, but I don’t know.

Finding products to promote

You might have to spend some time finding the right products to promote. When you are looking for the perfect products, you should be looking at the gravita numbers, they tell you how popular the products are and how easy they are to sell.

As a member of Clickbank Pirate you don’t have to keep looking, they pick the products for you; one new product each month. The product is a top seller in the Internet marketing niche.

Squeeze Page

It’s important to use a landing page or a squeeze page when you promote any product online. You want the sales message to be to the point, easy to understand, and you want it to be professional. With a squeeze page, you’ll get the email address of prospective buyers, hence you’ll be able to follow up. That’s part of your sales process.

Clickbank Pirate comes with a professional squeeze page each month, which includes a video. They convert really well. Here’s a list of the squeeze pages I’ve received so far:

Phantom Link Cloaker 2.0
PLR Wholesaler
Easy Traffic Steps
Get More Buyers
Directory of Ezines
Memberfire Membership Site System

Follow up

Usually, you need to add your own autoresponder, and write your own email messages to follow up prospects. Clickbank Pirate comes with many email messages, and the system will follow up everything for you. It’s completely automated, and the emails they send are written by professional copywriters.

How you earn commission

All you need to do at Clickbank Pirate is to drive traffic to the squeeze page, everything else is automated. People that leave their email address, will receive many emails about the system you’re promoting. All the emails will have your Clickbank id included. If they end up buying, you’ll earn the commission. Once in a while, they’ll send out other types of promotions as well… only regarding brand new and very interesting Internet marketing products from Clickbank. They’ll include your Clickbank id in every single email.

100% automated

The reason I joined Clickbank pirate is because the sales process is 100% automated. All you need to do is drive traffic to the squeeze page. Everything else is done for you.

Should you join Clickbank Pirate?

You might want to think about this for a few minutes. All you get are affiliate links to the squeeze pages, banners, prewritten emails that you can send to your list, and other ways to promote your squeeze page. You don’t have control of the process, and you won’t get your hands on the email addresses. Everything is located at the Clickbank Pirate server. If you are looking to build your own list and have control, then you should take a closer look at Ready Made Review Sites. If you don’t care about control, and you don’t want to do the technical stuff, then Clickbank Pirate is the answer.

Traffic Training

Once you become a member, you get access to tons of traffic training tips. You also get access to many free membership sites when it comes to traffic generation.

The price and the guarantee

You have to pay $67 for the first month, and then $37 every single months after the first 30 days. That’s $37 for a new squeeze page and the built in follow up process.

Soren Jordansen and Cindy Battye, the creators and owners of Clickbank Pirate gives all members a 100% money back guarantee for 60 days. This means that you can use Clickbank Pirate for two months, and get a full refund without any questions asked.

The Clickbank Treasury Map

The easiest way to promote Clickbank Pirate is to give away a free report; The Clickbank Treasury Map. This report will tell people about the real power of the system, and they will also get tons of emails about why they should become members of Clickbank Pirate. Once again, the system does 100% of the work.

If you’re looking for more information, take a closer look at the Clickbank Pirate sales page.

I’m very satisfied with the system.

If you are looking for a blueprint, a detailed plan on how to earn money online, then you should take a closer look at My Cash Printer.

Let me tell you what My Cash Printer is, and what it’s not.

You’ll get:

- A detailed plan – money making program
- Unlimited email support 24/7
- Your own website
- Personal coach

When you access the download page, you’ll get everything in 6 steps.

Step 1: Set up your own ecommerce website
Step 2: Download the system guide
Step 3: Automated quick start guide
Step 4: Automated online sales guide
Step 5: VIP access to survey money daily
Step 6: Automated AdWords wealth guide

To me, My Cash Printer is an interesting opportunity for people new to Internet marketing and people looking for a way to earn money online.

It’s fairly cheap. By paying a one time fee of $49.95, you’ll get your own business, and a detailed plan about how to automate it, and how to earn money 24/7.

I believe that it works, but it’s not like you can set it up in five minutes, and everything is automated for you. Nothing is that simple, not even My Cash Printer.

My Cash Printer is a system, an easy system fra a to z, about how to set up everything you need in order to be doing a business online.

The eBooks are all easy to read, the topics are well-known, and includes stuff like:

- Making money from blogs
- Making money from affiliate marketing
- Starting your own online business
- Get paid to websites, surveys etc.
- Write articles for money
- Look for profitable websites and buy them

… and more.

You’ll learn how to find really profitable programs, how to write profitable ads and setting up automated campaigns.

As I have written earlier, My Cash Printer is step by step system on how to set up your own online business. What I find most interesting about the system is the mentoring and the personal coach. It’s quite possible to become successful by reading eBooks and blueprints, and set everything up yourself, but if you get a personal coach, the chances for success is a lot higher.

When you buy My Cash Printer, you’ll get a one time offer. It looked very interesting, but I passed. That’s mostly because I just wanted access to the blueprint.

James Jordan, the creator of My Cash Printer, is offering a 56 day no questions asked, risk-free 100% money back guarantee. If you buy it, and you are not satisfied, you can request a refund, and there will be no questions asked.

I have been testing the brand new software from Mike Filsaime called TweetGlide. It’s a Twitter client for your PC, Mac, iPhone and iPod Touch. TweetGlide is completely free, packed with features, a really powerful marketing tool, and very profitable.

At first, it looks like an ordinary Twitter desktop client, but with a few really powerful features. By the way, the iPhone applications is not yet available.

What’s ordinary about TweetGlide?

Well, it’s a lot like TweetDeck, my favorite Twitter client. TweetGlide has panels, just like TweetDeck, only their called glides. In one panel, you’ll get your Twitter timeline, in another, you’ll get your replies, in another you’ll get your direct messages and so on. You can have as many panels as you’d like, even panels for your searches.

You’ll get a very detailed and easy to navigate Twitter client, just like TweetDeck, but with extra features.

Features of TweetGlide

You get the short url service. It turns your long and ugly url into a short and nice looking one. It’s all done with a single click on your mouse. With the short url services integrated, you also get advanced tracking. This way you’ll see how many times people click on your links, and from which tweets they clicked on them.

You get Facebook integration. When you tweet, you’ll also post to your Facebook wall.

It’s now possible to tweet more than 140 characters. With almost any other Twitter client, you can only use 140 characters, because that’s default at Twitter. With TweetGlide you can use as many characters as you want. What happens is that the first 80 characters will be posted to Twitter, and following a message like this one: To read the rest of this post click here: http://domain.com/77a334 – when people click on the link, they’ll read the rest of your message at the TweetGlide blog.

Soon you’ll be able to use TweetGlide with multiple accounts.

You can see all your followers in your profile. Here you can also bulk follow or bulk unfollow, and many other features that will make it a lot less time consuming to use Twitter.

Since this is a product of Mike Filsaime, it’s a powerful Twitter client, mostly for people involved in Internet marketing. There are some really cool features that will help you promote your products or services and help you earn money.

The Internet Marketing Features of TweetGlide

There are three features that makes this software very interesting as an Internet marketing tool.

1. Integrated system for advertisers

Every time you tweet, you’ll get 0.2 credits. For every 5 tweets you earn 1 credit. There’s a built in spam protection system, so you can only earn 1 credit every 3 hours, no matter how many times you tweet. This means that, for every 5 tweets, your advertisement will be shown 1 time in the sponsored tweets to TweetGlide members.

2. Downline tweets

When you use TweetGlide you get credits on 5 levels, with an unlimited number on each level. This means that for every 5 tweet made by you or your members, you’ll earn 1 credit and your ad will be shown 1 time. This way, it should be really easy to earn a lot of credits.

3. Paid sponsored ads

If you don’t want to promote TweetGlide in order to earn credits, you can pay for your ads. When you pay for your ads, they’ll show up straight away.

Final thoughts

TweetGlide is the most powerful Twitter client that I’ve tried. The marketing potential by using this software is incredible. It doesn’t matter what kind of products you’re selling or what type of service you’re offering. Twitter is one of the most powerful systems for marketers today, and when you combine it with TweetGlide, you’re in for a long and profitable experience.

If you don’t have a really easy and powerful link cloaking system, then you should keep reading, because Ninja Affiliate is everything you need, and it’s super easy to use.

I have been using this WordPress plugin for many months now, and I’m really satisfied with the results. It was very easy to install (anyone can do it), and it’s just as easy to use… and the results are stunning.

Why you really need this plugin

It took me quite some time to understand that one of the most important things when you do affiliate marketing is to cloak and track your links. With MaxBlogPress’ Ninja Affiliate, you have the easiest WordPress plugin when it comes to link cloaking and it has a really powerful tracking system integrated as well.

This way, you can make your links short and pretty, they’re more secure than regular affiliate links, and you can track where your clicks comes from.

For instance, my affiliate link for Ninja Affiliate is http://marketingflop.com/ninja – it’s my domain, and it’s short.

MaxBlogPress

It seems that everything the guys at MaxBlogPress creates turns into pure gold. I’ve bought WordPress Wizard 2.0 and $365K Blog Traffic Formula, both are plain awesome. Ninja Affiliate is no exception, it’s just as awesome as the other two systems.

Autogenerate Affiliate Links

Ninja Affiliate is not only about cloaking your affiliate links, and it’s not only about tracking the links, you can also turn words on your blog into affiliate links in a matter of seconds.

For instance, if I want to get as many clicks as possible from the visitors on my blog to the sales page of Ninja Affiliate, I could turn words like blogging, affiliate, cloaking, tracking into affiliate links. I just add the words inside the plugin and it’s all done automatically, this includes every future blog post as well.

The Guarantee

MaxBlogPress offers a 60 day money back guarantee. If you don’t like Ninja Affiliate, or you don’t find it useful, just let them know within 60 days of your purchase, and you’ll get all your money in return.

A look inside

I haven’t created a video myself, but I found a great one on YouTube. In this video, you can see all the major features of Ninja Affiliate and why I really recommend this plugin.

I recommend that you buy Ninja Affiliate. I have used it for many months now, I’m very satisfied, and I’m sure you’ll be as well.

I have been thinking of buying this ebook called The Super Affiliate Handbook by Roslind Gardner for more than a year. Finally, I bought it, and I just finished reading it. This is my review of one of the best Internet marketing ebooks I’ve ever read.

The ebook was first published in 2003. Since then, Rosalind Gardner has updated it many times to include new affiliate marketing techniques, new technology and new statistics. The newest version is 206 pages, and I bought it on August 17, 2009.

Why I bought The Super Affiliate Handbook

Lately, I’ve discovered that the easiest way to earn money online is to sell other people’s stuff. I only need to recommend the stuff, if someone buys, I earn money. I never have keep any stock of my products, I don’t need to do any support. It’s all about recommending products of high quality.

As an affiliate marketer, there is a very low cost set-up, no fees or licences, no employees, no order processing, no inventory. I’m writing this in my living room, you can actually work from anywhere and you can set your own schedule. It’s a great way to earn money.

Rosalind Gardner is one of the few super affiliates in the world, she earned $436,797 in 2002 selling other people’s stuff online, now (in 2009) she’s earning a lot more than that. It goes without saying that I’d like her to reveal all the techniques she’s using in order to get this huge success.

Take a peek inside her affiliate accounts:

The Easy Part

As an affiliate marketer, you promote other people’s products, and you earn commission every time someone buys from you, by clicking on your affiliate link. It sounds fairly easy, but it’s really not, not if you’re like most people and you’re only thinking about the money and not the products.

The first thing that Rosalind Gardner mentions in her book, is that in order to become successful you should always profit from what you know. You should always build your business around a topic you enjoy and either know well or are willing to learn about. And of course, the business should have huge income potential.

Knowledge + Passion = Profits

Step by Step Guide

I really like the fact that the ebook is a step by step guide to affiliate marketing. It contains lots of details about exactly what to do in order to become a super affiliate and earn a living online. She’s even giving you the details about how to install your wordpress blog. That’s just an example of how detailed The Super Affiliate Handbook is.

The book contains great details about why and how you should be tracking your results. A lot of people never bother to track their results, they just expect to earn money, but without tracking they would never understand which marketing techniques that are successful and which ones that are failing. Tracking is really important, and Rosalind Gardner explains it all.

Everything you need to get started

I believe that The Super Affiliate Handbook is everything you need to get started with affiliate marketing. It’s not just an ebook for beginners, it’s an ebook for everybody involved in affiliate marketing. If you have it, you can use it as a step by step guide in order to remember everything when it comes to affiliate marketing. Even for people like myself, who’s been involved in affiliate marketing for several years, there’s always something I forget… and there are things I didn’t know before reading this ebook.

The book contains information about all the ways you can earn money as an affiliate, not just by selling a product and earning commission. There are six ways affiliates can earn money:

1) Pay-Per-Sale & Percentage Programs

2) Pay-Per-Lead, Pay-Per-Action and Pay-Per-Signup

3) Pay-Per-Click Programs

4) Pay-Per-Call Programs

5) Pay-Per-Post

6) Broker Programs

Rosalind Gardner even gives us all the information regarding which programs to use, and where to find them. She provides us with an overview of the business building process, about market research, building websites, adding content, monetizing it, marketing it and growing the business.

It’s a fantastic ebook

I’ve read many ebook and regular books about Internet marketing and affiliate marketing. This is by far the most detailed I’ve read. When it comes to affiliate marketing, it doesn’t get any better than this. You get everything you need to know as a complete beginner, and you get advanced stuff like “5 must-have site pages” and content planning using keywords.

… and because Internet marketing contains a lot of new words and phrases, you get the glossary of terms at the end of The Super Affiliate Handbook, where Rosalind Gardner explains all the most important words and phrases.

I have been a member of Ready Made Review Sites since the day Anthony Hull and Jason Gazaway launched it in February. The reason I joined was that I had been looking for something similar for quite some time. I spend my time blogging, I haven’t created my own products (yet) and I haven’t done much advertising (like Pay Per Click). The money I have been earning so far has been from ads on my blogs and reviews that I have been writing and publishing on my blog.

I have come to realize that writing reviews for products is one of the easiest ways to earn money online.

And, since I don’t have much time to create my own products, I would prefer to get professional written reviews for some of the top Internet marketing products every single month.

I have been very satisfied with Ready Made Review Sites, and I am still very satisfied. Everything about this membership site is plain awesome. The price is fairly high, but the product you get, is close to perfect.

The current review sites I have launched from my membership at Ready Made Review Sites are:

Blogging Product Reviews
Search Engine Optimization Product Reviews
Membership Product Reviews

You get this each month when you join join Ready Made Review Sites:

One of the best free method of generating traffic is to post comments on related blogs. Included in the membership is a long list of topic related blogs.

The total monthly value of all the six components, according to the sales page, is $1177.

What impresses me the most is that it takes only a few minutes to launch the new “ready made” review site.

All I have to do each month is to complete four simple steps, my guess is that it takes me about 15 minutes:

1. Download my affiliate review site from the members area
2. Add my Clickbank affiliate ID and a few other variables such as page title/domain name etc
3. Upload the affiliate review website to my hosting account
4. Use my provided marketing materials to market my site and start earning commissions

I am very satisfied with this membership, and I think that if you are looking for an “easy” method to earn commission, you should give Ready Made Review Sites a try. They have an 8 week money-back guarantee, so, even if you don’t make a dime, you can test it for 8 weeks and get your money back.
