This one is for all of you that couldn't afford Alex Jeffreys coaching program. This is the next best thing. You could even call it Alex Jeffreys "lite".
Dean Holland is one of Alex's star students. In 8 months time he has made close to $20,000 online and has quit his regular job to become a full time internet marketer. That is quite the accomplishment and Dean has rightfully earned his fellow students respect.
Dean is opening his own coaching program tomorrow at noon Eastern standard time. He is calling it Starting With Marketing and the price is going to surprise you. I am not going to tell you the price, you'll have to click on the link and see for yourself.
What I can tell you is that because the price is low, the limited spots that are available, are going to sell out fast. Don't wait until tomorrow or youmight miss out. Click on the link now and get on the "priority notification" list. Dean is going to be teaching the very same techniques that he learned from Alex Jeffreys, applied them to his own online business, and has become a full time internet marketer.
I am cutting this short because I have to leave for the airport in Caracas and fly back to the States. Go check out the website. Dean will probably have put up the video that explains more about the program by the time you read this. I'll be back in touch in a day or two after I get back and get settled in.

Today there are 2 programs launching that should be "no brainers" for any newbie internet marketers. These are things that you MUST have if you are going to make money online.
The first is all about having a "home" online. You need a website or blog that is your home base. The virtual bricks and mortar of your online business. To do this you require web hosting. Now there are thousands of web hosts out there.
Let me say this, "All web hosts are not created equal."
If you have been following this blog then you know that I just recently went through a nightmare with my hosting company. Watch out when the deal seems too good to be true.
One of my friends and fellow students, Adam Spiel, has just launched a hosting company that is like no other you will find.
Since I am writing this on my lunch break at work, I am not going to go into a long dissertation about all the features and benefits of Adam's new service. Quite frankly, the list is to long for me to do it here. It is much easier to give you a link to his site and let him do the explaining.

The second thing I want to tell you about goes hand in hand with the first and may just be the solution to your biggest problem. As you know, I am really big on using JV Giveaways to build my list. The most common problem that people run into when they want to be a contributor in a giveaway is that they don't have a product to giveaway.
Not only do you need an ebook or a piece of software, but you need graphics, a squeeze page, and a thank you page to compliment it as well. This can be insurmountable for a beginner with little or no budget.
Chances are, you have not written an ebook. Website graphics will cost you a minimum of $150 to get made. Who is going to do your squeeze page and thank you page? If you are looking to pay someone, your probably looking at another $200 if you get lucky.
The solution to this is Niche Empire. Niche Empire is a new membership site that provides you with 2 private label rights products each month. Each product is a 20 page ebook written in a "How To" style that is about a pre researched "hot" niche.
Each book also comes with ecover graphics, keyword research, a sales page, a thank you page, a squeeze page, a video squeeze page, and you even get a series of emails to use in your auto responder. All of the work is done for you. A turnkey business in a box.
If that wasn't enough, the members area is full of training materials which include a business blueprint for you to follow so that you can start making money right away with your products. I know this because I am already a member and have been in the members area. I am using one of my first month products as a special offer for the JV giveaways I participate in.
I am running a special offer to all my loyal followers. If you join Niche Empire through the link below, I will set up your first month's products for you for free. I will do this for the first 20 people who click on the link below and join Nich Empire.

I have been putting together a top ten Twitter tools list. First of all I would like to say that I never realized there were so many 3rd party Twitter applications out there. A lot of them are duplications of each other albeit some may have a small twist that discerns it from others.
I have broken them down into several categories. Functionality, automation, and design. My favorite so far is a program that falls in the functionality category called Tweet Deck. Tweet Deck puts your Twittering on steroids.
It opens a window that lets you create columns that you can customize and filter for example, when I am Twittering I have a column of "All Friends" which is what you would normally see, a column with "Replies" (same as the replies page in Twitter), but then I have one for "Fortunate 500" which are the students in Alex Jeffreys first coaching class, and then I have a column that is just a few select friends.
Pretty cool but this is only one feature. In the columns you see the avatar and tweets like normal Twittering. If you mouse over the avatar, 4 buttons pop up. Reply to this person, Direct Message to this person, Retweet this persons tweet, and Other Actions. The other actions brings up a drop down list with Follow, Unfollow, Email Tweet, translate, untranslate, add to group(column), view profile, search, favorite, mark as read, and delete.
At the bottom of each column are some more buttons that do the following: move column left, filter the tweets in this column, mark all as seen, clear seen tweets, clear all tweets, move column right. But wait there is more.
At the top of the window is another row of navigational buttons. These buttons open up the various columns like, replies, direct messages, groups, etc.. There is also a button that opens Twitscoop which is a "tag cloud" of sorts that shows you what everyone is tweeting about. Another button takes you to 12 second TV, which may give Twitter a run for its money if it catches on.
There is a button that takes you to StockTwits and to the top right are 4 more buttons which are Refresh, single column view, settings, and Logout. The most important button is the first button up top which is the Tweet button.
This opens a standard Tweet type box but it has a couple really neat features. There is a place below the box where you can enter a URL then click on a button and it will shorten the URL and insert it into your tweet. There is also a TwitPic button that will take a picture from your computer and load it to TwitPics while creating a nice little short URL in your Tweet to the picture.
Have you typed in to many characters? Not a problem. The box will turn red, letting you know that you have exceeded the 140 character limit. But not to worry. There is a button called Tweet Shrink which will automatically make your Tweet fit.
Last but not least there is a recent hash tags button. Tweet desck is easily my hands down winner for ease of use and functionality. You can do almost everything you need to do right from the one window. Of course, like most Twitter apps, it's free.

I have mentioned several times before that I was in Portal Feeder for about 6 months and that I use a couple programs called Comment Kahuna and Syndicate Kahuna. All of these programs are by the same group of developers and they absolutely rock. Last year they came out with another program called Traffic Kahuna.
Traffic Kahuna is a very powerful system that creates back links, drives traffic, has a web 2.0 co-op, gives you access to "blog feeder", "article feeder", a PR 5 blog network, and much more. There is a very limited number of spots and it has been closed for months. It has only opened one other time since it's launch and was closed the next day.
When it launched I was a little skeptical (I have grown cautious over the last few years) and I wanted to see what kind of feedback popped up on the forums. I heard a lot of good things so I got on there waiting list. They reopened a few months later and I had to wait until I got paid to get in. Well, that was 3 days away and when I tried, they had shut the doors already.
I finally got my chance to join today. I opened my email after dinner and there it was. I wasted no time and immediately signed up. Now this is not for somebody who is a beginner. The system is easy to use but the techniques and methods are pretty advanced. There would be a huge learning curve for a newbie. There is quite a bit to take in for some one like me who has some experience.
It's just that the program is so complete and loaded with tools. They are giving away there "Video Post Robot" software that makes a joke out of Tube Mogul. It submits your videos to 30 different video directories. The first 50 new sign ups get the software or something like that.
This is officially going to be my number one strategy for driving traffic to my blog. I will continue to do the oil rig hopping to all the blogs in the Alex Jeffreys coaching program, but this will be the strategy that brings me visitors from outside our community and will put me at the top of the SERPS.
Right now my blog is listed 8th for the Google search Alex Jeffreys coaching program and 18th for Alex Jeffreys coaching. I will continue submitting articles to directories and grooming my Squidoo lens and Hub page to help boost my SEO. Tonight I am going to stay up and start using Traffic Kahuna to push my blog to number one for both search terms.
It will be interesting to see how fast I can achieve this considering Google just got done slapping the crap out of me. (I'll post about that tomorrow) The good thing about Traffic Kahuna is that I can use it to help all of my websites including my Squidoo lenses and my Hub pages, which is where I make all of my affiliate income.
By the time you read this, Traffic Kahuna will probably be closed again already. If I were you, I would sign up for their waiting list so you can be notified via email next time they open the doors. I have put a link in this post and one in the sidebar. Meanwhile, I'll be up all night. I feel like a kid in a candy store.

There is a new program that is launching today at noon called Viral Bars. Viral Bars is an advertising platform that uses small unobtrusive ads that sit at the top of your website called "marker place ads". The ad looks like a toolbar and is configurable to match the style of your website. These ads are a passive affiliate marketing medium that can earn you money and drive tons of traffic to your website.
I explain how the system works in detail on my Viral Bars Squidoo lens and my Viral Bars Hub page. Take a few minutes to check them out. i recommend joining as a JV partner as soon as possible because this one is probably going to grow really fast once the word gets around. Did I mention that it has a 2 tiered affiliate program that pays 40% and 5%?
