			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ever dreamed about  NOT having to start from scratch online, NOT having to figure out what  will sell (and what won&#8217;t) and NOT having to create a boatload of  products for your Internet Marketing business?</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Every once in awhile,  this dream becomes a reality for some&#8230;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><strong><a href="http://use-sell.com/2/1513136fw/?aff_id=52666">Click here to for the answer</a></strong><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It&#8217;s like a window opens  in the cosmic universe, and if you&#8217;re lucky enough to see that window  and go through it, you are bestowed with magic powers that can  accelerate your online career in a turbo way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Okay, I made the &#8220;magic  powers&#8221; bit up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thankfully, no magic is required.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Several years ago Mark  Joyner retired from his online ventures and sold all of his products,  all of the rights to the products, and all of the source code, word  docs, etc. to marketers lucky enough to be in the right place at the  right time to grab his offer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some of those marketers and would-be marketers went on to  make fortunes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ever hear of Russell Brunson?</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He didn&#8217;t even have  enough money to buy the farewell package, so he ran around doing odd  jobs to get it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now he&#8217;s a multi-millionaire.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Yes, standing on the  shoulders of a giant is a remarkable way indeed to get a turbo-boost in  your own online business, regardless of whether you are just starting  out or you have been doing this for some time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A window of opportunity  is about to open. Only 500 people at most will be able to pass through  this window and turbo-charge their future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And if you haven&#8217;t  guessed yet, my use of the word &#8220;Turbo&#8221; is not accidental.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">John &#8220;Turbo&#8221; Delavera is  RETIRING from his vast online empire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And he is about to offer  the PRIVATE LABEL RIGHTS to nearly ALL of his Turbo line of products,  both software and information products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://use-sell.com/2/1513136fw/?aff_id=52666"><strong>Click here to create products in a snap</strong></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">What can you do with  these?</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-family: verdana;">What can&#8217;t you do might  be a better question.</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You probably already know what you can do with private  label rights to information products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can put your own name  on them, you can give them a new title, you can change them, add to  them, break them up, etc. It&#8217;s almost like you had written the material  yourself, except you can&#8217;t sell private label rights to them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can even add audio,  video, create membership sites, etc. You&#8217;re limited by ONE thing &#8211; your  imagination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Software works the same way, except if you want to alter  the code, you might need to hire someone to do that for you, unless  you&#8217;re good at that sort of thing. But hiring someone is super easy and  can be done at a variety of sites that hook people up with coders all  over the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But who says you need to alter the code? You can sell  these products just as they are, with maybe a new name to jazz it up a  bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bottom line: John has  spent the last 8 years of his life creating these products, and you can  have full rights to them in one feel swoop. He spent far more than  $150,000 creating these. In fact, that&#8217;s just how much he spent on the  first two categories of products, so I suspect he may have spent close  to half a million, who knows?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What I do know is that you and I don&#8217;t have that kind of  money to create products. Okay, I know that I don&#8217;t have half a  million&#8230; do you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you don&#8217;t, this is your once chance to get a boatload  of innovation all completed and ready to go.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My advice; get the  package, pick out your favorite products, and start marketing them  immediately. With a little work, you can make your money back within a  couple of weeks, and then cruise on profit for a couple of YEARS.</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A few weeks ago we released a new product called &#8220;<a href="http://bigsellingvideooptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingVideoOptins</a>&#8220;. Essentially it&#8217;s a professional quality video squeeze page template package that works with any video player or autoresponder system. All you do is add your video, add your text, then add your autoresponder code and you&#8217;re done.</strong></p>
<p>Yesterday we received a superb review of these squeeze page video templates from Melanie Langenhan, listen to what she had to say&#8230;</p>
<p>Some weeks ago I got my hands on the new <a href="http://bigsellingvideooptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingVideoOptins Template Package by Brian Terry</a>. This is an online product which contains prior-ranking templates and graphics for complete auto responder opt-in form pages. These templates are designed to include video messages to boost your opt-in rates. This sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>I wanted to check this product out because I am relatively new to auto responders and list building, although I am quite a while learning about internet marketing now. Anything that will help me to start and run my business successfully is very welcome …</p>
<p>Actually I have been blogging for about 10 years now, but I am a little shy to ask people to subscribe to my newsletter. So my opt-in form was very small and could be overseen easily. <strong><a href="http://bigsellingvideooptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingVideoOptins</a></strong> changes that on 180 degrees.</p>
<p>To be clear, this product doesn’t just provide small, somehow nicely designed forms. It contains 45 (!) beautiful designed all-inclusive opt-in pages, with graphics and .psd-files plus a bonus template.</p>
<p>It’s up to the user how much one customizes the templates. Changing the video link, headlines/text messages and auto responder codes is mandatory; fonts and colors can be kept as is, if one likes the look.</p>
<p>Furthermore I got an eBook about list building, lots of helpful video tutorials and unadvertised bonuses with BigSellingVideoOptins Template Package that support the handling and tweaking of the templates.</p>
<p>On the download site, all content is placed on one long page with instructions and links to the graphic files (which are delivered in zip-format). The more I check out this page, the more I like the presentation of all materials. The look is clean and structured, with a step by step guide to get the desired outcome. Just read through the text from beginning to end, download the software, templates and fonts, watch the videos, follow the instructions, and you will be done. I wish more internet marketers would use such a friendly “user interface” to support the learning experience.</p>
<p>Brian Terry from <strong><a href="http://bigsellingvideooptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingVideoOptins</a></strong> doesn’t give you only instructions and templates; he also serves you with the tools you need: links to free software and complete screen cast courses on how to use them, i.e. Gimp, FTP programs or screen capture tools. So everything is easy going – if you’re not completely overwhelmed by this offer <img src='http://bigsellingwebsitedesign.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' title="Squeeze Page Video Templates Reviewed" /> </p>
<p>After the customization of a template you just need to upload it to your server, link to it and watch your subscriber list growing.</p>
<p>If you already use an auto responder system and want to grow your list, this product is for you! If you are new to Internet Marketing and want to promote products (your own or as an affiliate), it’s for you too! BigSellingVideoOptins teaches you what you need to know about list building and gives you these professional looking templates.</p>
<p>The only downside I have found to this product is a missing instruction about how to finally integrate the customized html file into an existing website or blog. I already mailed Brian Terry about this inconvenience and I am sure he will find a quick solution.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://bigsellingvideooptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingVideoOptins</a></strong> costs less than 50 bucks. All in all the nicely designed templates (which I wouldn’t be able to create on my own), the courses about Video Marketing and Gimp, as well as the listbuilding eBook and the courses on HTML and FTP (those are for technical newbies), are without any doubt worth the money. If you are in need for professional opt-in templates, the <strong><a href="http://bigsellingvideooptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingVideoOptins</a></strong> package is made for you. Go and give it a try!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Are you freeing up  your time and money with these business automation tools?</strong></p>
<p>All of those repetitive tasks that normally take hours to do can be done in seconds with my top 10 list of business automation tools. In fact most of these tools are the &#8220;exact&#8221; same tools I use to help me run my online business.  I stand behind each and every one of them.</p>
<p><strong>Take a look through this &#8220;essential&#8221; list and put into use as many as you can!</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?pr=1&amp;id=72229" target="_blank">1ShoppingCart</a></strong></p>
<p>With 1ShoppingCart you get all the tools you need to process online payments, deliver digital and physical products, run an affiliate program, track your sales conversions, contact your customers and affiliates via autoresponder and track orders and payments.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve used 1ShoppingCart on and off over the past 5 years, now I use them exclusively because their system is rock solid and I can set up products for sale in just minutes with no messing around with code. Everything with 1ShoppingCart is point and click easy!</p>
<p><strong>2. <a href="http://www.dlguard.com/info/?a=polmsavoon" target="_blank">DLGuard</a></strong></p>
<p>The only downside to 1ShoppingCart is there is no membership management available. So for example if you want to sell a digital product and offer your customers a username and password to access the download page you&#8217;ll need to use DL Guard as I do.</p>
<p>Unlike 1ShoppingCart DL Guard is a software script you need to install on your own website. It took me about 15 minutes to set up and configure, the support documents are very clear so you&#8217;re up and running within an hour.</p>
<p>Even if you don&#8217;t have 1ShoppingCart you can still use DL Guard because it has it&#8217;s own payment processing system built in. The only thing is this easy to install software script doesn&#8217;t have an affiliate management system so you really need to use 1ShoppingCart for that.</p>
<p><strong>3. <a href="http://brianterry.aweber.com" target="_blank">Aweber</a></strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m amazed at how many people don&#8217;t use a professional email automation system like Aweber! I&#8217;ve been using Aweber since November 2003 and I&#8217;ve got to say they&#8217;re the absolute best there is when it comes to automating email delivery.</p>
<p>With Aweber you can even automatically post a &#8220;tweet&#8221; to your Twitter account whenever you send out a broadcast email! Or how about every time you write a blog post? Aweber will automatically send out an HTML email to your blog subscribers telling them about it (if you&#8217;re on my blog email list that&#8217;s probably how you found your way here to my top 10 list).</p>
<p>As you can see Aweber goes way beyond giving you unlimited autoresponders! If you&#8217;re not using it yet you really should be.</p>
<p><strong>4. <a href="http://www.tubemogul.com/" target="_self">TubeMogul</a></strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever created a video and spent 3 hours posting it to many of the social video hosting websites out there then you need to take a look at this service ASAP. It&#8217;s totally free to use and is a &#8220;big&#8221; time saver when it comes to getting your message out there and in front of the most number of people.</p>
<p>More than just automating the distribution of your videos TubeMogul will also give you countless statistics about your videos including how many people have watched them!</p>
<p><strong>5. <a href="https://www.ping.fm/" target="_blank">Ping.fm</a></strong></p>
<p>What I like about Ping.fm is how much time it saves you. In fact this has got to be one of the biggest time savers out there when it comes to syndicating your content across the very best social networking websites.</p>
<p>The way Ping.fm works is you post your message on their website and that message gets posted to 40 social networking websites like Facebook, Plaxo and LinkedIn.</p>
<p>Of course this does mean you have to post your messages on the Ping.fm website. However there is another way&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Here&#8217;s how I use it&#8230;</em></p>
<p>First of all you need to install a copy of Twhirl  (this is another automation tool I&#8217;ll get to in a minute, it&#8217;s one of the best applications out there for posting tweets on Twitter.com).</p>
<p>Within Twhirl you can enter your Ping.fm account details. Then whenever you post a tweet it&#8217;s syndicated to up to 40 other social networking websites through your Ping.fm account.</p>
<p><strong>6. <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/" target="_blank">Survey Monkey</a></strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let this name fool you. It&#8217;s not a system for surveying monkey&#8217;s <img src='http://bigsellingwebsitedesign.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' title="Top 10 Business Automation Tools" />  Although it&#8217;s probably easy enough for a monkey to use! What Survey Monkey does is it gives you a &#8220;super&#8221; easy way of creating surveys.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s through these survey&#8217;s that you can find out what your subscribers and customers want and need. When you know those kind of answers marketing becomes a whole lot easier!</p>
<p><strong>7. <a href="http://www.twhirl.org/" target="_blank">Twhirl</a></strong></p>
<p>If you post messages to Twitter.com then you need to get this application installed ASAP! If you&#8217;re not using Twitter to get your message out there then you&#8217;re missing huge opportunity because right now Twitter is a &#8220;red hot&#8221; marketing tool.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier with Ping.fm make sure you tie your Ping.fm account into your Twhirl application and every time you post a Tweet message you can get massive exposure through the power of syndication.</p>
<p><strong>8. <a href="http://www.submityourarticle.com/" target="_blank">SubmitYourArticle</a></strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been marketing online for even the shortest time you&#8217;re probably aware of the power of articles as a way of generating traffic and building your brand. However the problem with articles is getting them into the hands of as many of the &#8220;right&#8221; people as you can.</p>
<p>Sure there are applications you can download and use them to submit your articles to 1,000&#8217;s of directories but there&#8217;s a problem called &#8220;duplicate content&#8221; you need to contend with.</p>
<p>This is a &#8220;big&#8221; issue because when Google and other search engines see 1,000 of copies of your articles all over the Internet they&#8217;ll only consider the 1st one they find unique, rank it accordingly and ignore the other 999.</p>
<p>SubmitYourArticle has a superb solution to this because it provides you with a way of turning 1 unique article into many unique articles all at the press of a button as well as submitting it to the best places online.</p>
<p>One of the things I like about this service is how it&#8217;s more about getting your article published by &#8220;top tier&#8221; websites and even offline publications. It&#8217;s not about pumping out as many low value articles as you can then submitting them to every man and his dog in the hop of some traffic.</p>
<p><em>P.S. By the way&#8230; I designed the logo and website templates for the SubmitYourArticle site. Steve Shaw the creator of SubmitYourArticle is a great guy and will look after you.</em></p>
<p><strong>9. <a href="http://www.onlywire.com/" target="_blank">OnlyWire</a></strong></p>
<p>In some ways this is similar to Ping.fm only this time you can submit your content right from your web browser to all the top social networking sites. They also include some other useful tools that make it possible for your website visitors to submit your content for you. It&#8217;s an interesting service I&#8217;ll be testing out myself very soon.</p>
<p><strong>10. <a href="http://www.mindjet.com/" target="_blank">MindJetManager</a></strong></p>
<p>This is one of my all-time favorite applications that helps me to shortcut the process of coming up with ideas. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard of mind mapping before, well this software takes it to the next level whenever you need to brainstorm a new idea or develop new systems and procedures for the streamlining your online business.</p>
<p>So there you have it&#8230; my top 10 business automation tools.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>For the past 4 years or so I&#8217;ve been doing well using HipCast.com, thinking it was a great low cost solution to hosting audio and video. With HipCast I can record anything, then minutes later have it hosted on my blog&#8230; which is great when you need to move fast.</strong></p>
<p><em>That was until the other day&#8230;</em></p>
<p>When I received an email from HipCast telling me I had exceeded my bandwidth for the month and was into extra charges! I checked this out and even though on their website it says &#8220;unmetered bandwidth&#8221; it turns out that for me it&#8217;s actually 5GB a month with $1 per extra 1 GB used.</p>
<p>How did I get into this extra cost? Last month I launched a new website <a href="http://bigsellingoptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingOptins.com</a> which has a video at the top of the page hosted by HipCast. Because I&#8217;ve had lots of traffic arrive there it sent my &#8220;unmetered&#8221; bandwidth allowance above and beyond my 5GB for that month.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m now going to do&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Use Amazon S3 online storage service.<br />
<a href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3" target="_blank">http://aws.amazon.com/s3</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite tricky to manage the files with this storage service because it doesn&#8217;t use regular FTP. So I&#8217;m going to use this simple FireFox plugin called S3 Manager (thanks to <a href="http://terrydean.org" target="_blank">Terry Dean</a> for telling me about this!)&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.s3fox.net" target="_blank">http://www.s3fox.net</a></p>
<p>Now Amazon S3 isn&#8217;t free to use like the S3 Manager plugin but it is extremely cheap, here&#8217;s what I mean&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you remember how I told you that I was paying $1 per extra 1Gb I used over the 5Gb I was allowed by HipCast?</p>
<p>Check this out&#8230; Amazon S3 charges: $0.170 per GB – first 10 TB / month data transfer out&#8230; then the prices go down from there more you use. Using this service is a real no-brainer even if you just need a place to store all your products for your customers to download from.</p>
<p>Right now I&#8217;m in the process of moving a few products over to a new ecommerce solution (which I&#8217;ll tell you about later). As soon as I&#8217;ve moved them over I&#8217;ll be setting up an account with Amazon S3 &#8230;so they can host my videos.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your video hosting solution costing you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>You either love them or hate them! (it&#8217;s true).</strong></p>
<p>As a visitor to a website you probably hate them, but as the website owner there&#8217;s a very good chance you&#8217;ll actually love them (but only if you use them right).</p>
<p><strong>Why?</strong> because love them or hate them, <strong>popups flat out work!</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s all about <strong>grabbing your website visitors attention</strong> for a few seconds more. Perhaps when they arrive at your website you might offer a free subscription to your newsletter, or when they leave you might use your popup window to find out why they&#8217;re leaving! The possibilities are only limited by your the your imagination.</p>
<p>I for one have been using Popup windows for years with <strong>huge success</strong> and I&#8217;ve spoken with countless other online marketers who&#8217;s experience has been <strong>just the same. </strong></p>
<p>Probably the most creative I&#8217;ve ever been with using popup windows is to show a countdown timer. You can see what I mean when you go to my BigSellingConversions website <a href="http://bigsellingconversions.com">here</a>.</p>
<p>It really puts on the pressure for people to make a decission. If you don&#8217;t optin within the next 6 minutes 59 seconds this offer ends. And as you&#8217;re sitting there you can see the countdown time <strong>rapidly ticking away.</strong></p>
<p>You see popup windows aren&#8217;t just about showing people random ads for unrelated products, which is probably what  you hate about popups right? (it is for me!). Popup windows should be all about <strong>adding more value to your website</strong> or when done very carefully using the psychology of persuasion to get people to take action.</p>
<p>One of the most confusing and <strong>down right frustrating things</strong> I&#8217;ve found with adding popup windows to WordPress blogs is all the bits of code you have to mess around with just to get it to work.</p>
<p>In the end <strong>I decided to create my own WordPress plugin</strong> that automatically <strong>creates popup windows.</strong> All you do now is upload the WordPress plugin, activate it, configure it and you&#8217;re done.</p>
<p>The good news is<strong> I&#8217;m actually giving it away for free! </strong>The plugin is called <a href="http://bigsellingoptins.com" target="_blank">OptinPop</a> and I&#8217;ve added some <strong>very cool features</strong> and bonuses to it that make using popups a great way for you to build your list using your blog traffic.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;ve been stuck just like me and want to <strong>quickly and easily</strong> add popup windows to your blog then head on over to <a href="http://bigsellingoptins.com" target="_blank">BigSellingOptins.com</a> where I&#8217;ll give you everything you need to <strong>turn your blog traffic into red hot subscribers!</strong></p>
<p>If you own a blog <a href="http://bigsellingoptins.com" target="_blank">go do it now</a> because<strong> if you&#8217;re not building a list you&#8217;re not building a business.</strong></p>
<p><strong>By the way&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><em>Here&#8217;s what a few others have to say about OptinPop&#8230;</em></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Brian Terry is a genius when it comes to marketing and design, and now, he&#8217;s knocked me over with his powerful plugin for WordPress, &#8220;OptinPop.&#8221; What an incredible tool! I&#8217;ve been using it on my own blog for the past few weeks, and my optin rate has jumped a good 30%. Thanks, Brian! OptinPop has made a huge difference in the speed of growing my list!&#8221;"</p>
<p><strong>-Pat Marcello</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.Blogging4Boomers.com " target="_blank">www.Blogging4Boomers.com </a></p>
<p>&#8220;OptinPop Advanced is a really excellent plugin for my Blog, that was much needed. If anyone is serious about growing their optin list, this neat little tool is a must for their blog site &#8211; it&#8217;s powerful, highly versatile, yet amazingly simple to setup. I&#8217;ve already had visitors complimenting it and asking where they can get one! Great job.&#8221;<br />
<strong><br />
-Steve Mitchell</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.Marketing-Pro-Info.com" target="_blank">www.Marketing-Pro-Info.com</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Hi Brian, OptinPop Advanced is one of the easiest to install and set up WordPress plugins that I&#8217;ve ever used.. and that has been a LOT of plugins!</p>
<p>I love the built-in flexibility. I especially like the choice of options including.. rotation, colours, positions, frequency, effects and more.</p>
<p>Having tested OptinPop Advanced for a few days on one of my niche blogs, I&#8217;m delighted to report a substantial increase in optins!</p>
<p>This is a &#8216;Must Have&#8217; plugin for anyone who wants to build a list of blog readers.</p>
<p>Great job!</p>
<p><strong>-John Taylor</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.MarketingConfidential.com" target="_blank">www.MarketingConfidential.com</a></p>
<p>&#8220;I downloaded this incredible package, and in mere minutes, had my first test opt in Pop Up working.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a newbie who&#8217;s Word Press challenged most of the time, so the ease with which this app installed and started functioning was a big bonus for me.</p>
<p>There were a TON of killer templates to choose from as well. if you can&#8217;t find a great template in this package &#8230; not sure what to say about that!</p>
<p>This WP plugin is top notch and will go on almost ALL of my WP blogs.</p>
<p>Thanks Brian &#8230; Great Work &#8230;</p>

<p><strong>If  you&#8217;re new to the world of Internet Marketing I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve had a sense of just how much there is to learn. There&#8217;s a lot! Even though I&#8217;ve been online studying and applying Internet Marketing since 2000 I&#8217;m always learning something new, that&#8217;s one of the reasons why I love this industry so much.</strong></p>
<p>Whilst my specialty areas within Internet Marketing are <strong>website design and traffic conversion</strong> I&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to learn what really works in Internet Marketing from some <a href="http://terrydean.org" target="_blank">truly great people</a>.</p>
<p>One of the things I like about life online is <strong>how quickly you can get your ideas up and running</strong> and making money. An example of this is this new website I&#8217;ve created called <strong><a href="http://bigsellingprofitmaps.com/traffic/productlaunch/index.html" target="_blank">Big Selling Profit Maps</a></strong>. I came up with this idea early last week, by the end of the week I had a domain name registered, a website designed and a product to offer.</p>
<p>The idea for this website is very simple&#8230; it&#8217;s a way for you to learn and <strong>easily put into action</strong> Internet Marketing strategies that help you grow your online business.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what you get (for free)&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get what&#8217;s I call a &#8220;Profit Map&#8221; and a companion video that explains the details of the map. The map itself is simply a <strong>step-by-step flow chart</strong> you follow along to.</p>
<p><em>There&#8217;s one thing you need to remember when you create your own products online&#8230; keep it simple because simplicity sells.</em></p>
<p>Because I have no idea if this project is going to take off I&#8217;ve put in the <strong>minimum</strong> amount of work and not spent time making things perfect.</p>
<p>What I am giving you is something that <strong>simply works</strong> <em>&#8230;which is all you really need right?</em></p>
<p>Where so many people fall over is they spend months developing their product without knowing if it&#8217;s going to work or not.</p>
<p>With <a href="http://bigsellingprofitmaps.com/traffic/productlaunch/index.html" target="_blank">Big Selling Profit Maps</a> I&#8217;m rolling out just 1 part (1 page) of the whole project just to test out the idea. If it works I&#8217;ll <strong>make more profit maps and videos, </strong>I&#8217;ll then create a squeeze page and a one time special offer.</p>
<p>This is where the importance of having your own subscriber lists come in because I&#8217;ll be using my list to test this idea on to see if they like it or not.</p>
<p>If they like it I&#8217;ll make any changes needed then roll the whole project out, <strong>over time I&#8217;ll perfect it.</strong> If it doesn&#8217;t work I&#8217;ll not develop it any further and move on to the next project.</p>
<p>By doing this <strong>I&#8217;m minimizing my own risk,</strong> being more productive, <strong>helping more people</strong> and making more money as a net result. <em>Which is what it&#8217;s all about right?</em></p>
<p>Take a look at my very first Big Selling Profit Map and let me know what you think, I&#8217;d be very interested in hearing your thoughts about it&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was half way through watching HellBoy 2 when I got a call from my good friend Tellman over in Vermont. Now if you know Tellman or you&#8217;re on any of his email lists you&#8217;ll know that he takes FAST action, basically when he has an idea he doesn&#8217;t hang around!</p>
<p>This was no exception! I was just getting into this great movie when the phone rang. It about 4pm in the afternoon over here in the UK.</p>
<p>The first thing Tellman asked me was &#8220;am I a Ninja?&#8221; What else can I say but &#8220;yes!&#8221; when it comes to graphics I&#8217;m a Ninja (lol).</p>
<p>The long and the short of it was Tellman had just set up a custom branded version of AWeber and wanted a logo. And the name of his new autoresponder service&#8230;. <a href="http://www.ninjaresponder.com/" target="_blank">NinjaResponder</a>!</p>
<p>This was by no means a normal situation, Tellman needed a logo for this ASAP (hence the need for a Ninja!). Usually I get a week or two do create a logo.</p>
<p>Tellman&#8217;s design brief was simple&#8230; design a logo that has the text &#8220;NinjaResponder.com&#8221; It needed to use a Ninja throwing star or some other kind of Ninja graphic&#8230; and that was it, nice and simple.</p>
<p>2 hours later here&#8217;s what I came up with for Tellman&#8230;</p>
<p><em>This one was for the inside pages of NinjaResponder&#8230;</em></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 148px"><img title="Ninja Responder" src="http://pixelstoprofits.com/cprojects/tellman/ninja/ninjalogo138x37.gif " alt="The small version" width="138" height="37" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The small version</p></div>
<p><em>This next version was the one used on the front page&#8230;</em></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 201px"><img src="http://pixelstoprofits.com/cprojects/tellman/ninja/ninja_bluebk.gif" alt="The blue background version" width="191" height="69" title="HellBoy 2 vs. Ninja Responder" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The blue background version</p></div>
<p>As you can see I managed to use a 5 pointed Ninja star in the design, the one I included on the &#8220;j&#8221; was Tellman&#8217;s idea which I thought worked really well.</p>
<p>The font I used for this was called &#8220;Republika Italic&#8221;. I needed to adjust the font a bit to make it more legible. The software I used was a mixture of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.</p>
<p>You can see the logo in action at &#8220;<a href="http://NinjaResponder.com" target="_blank">NinjaResponder.com</a>&#8220;. If you need an autoresponder system I highly recommend it <img src='http://bigsellingwebsitedesign.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' title="HellBoy 2 vs. Ninja Responder" /> </p>
<p><em>You guessed it Ninja Responder won!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I couldn&#8217;t keep this one to myself for a minute longer&#8230; </strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s some free sales letter software from Eben Pagan that helps you to create sales letters that literally <strong>seem psychic to your website visitors.</strong>  <em>I just had to take a closer look&#8230;</em></p>
<p>What this software does is it creates a squeeze page where you ask your website visitors a series of questions. They then enter their name and email address and on the next page is a sales letter that&#8217;s customized to the answers they gave on the previous page. Then at the bottom of the sale letter is your order button.</p>
<p>I installed the software and tried out each step needed to get your psychic sales letter up and running and it&#8217;s <strong>very straight forward and easy to do.</strong> You don&#8217;t even need an HTML editor as it&#8217;s all build into the software for you.</p>
<p><strong>The only downside I could find</strong> is you can only use this as a tool for list building if you have a GetResponse.com account. Otherwise the names and email addresses vanish into a black hole somewhere and so defeating the purpose. I&#8217;m sure the code can be adjusted to use any autoresponder service but you need to know what you&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>As someone who loves Macs and prefers to use them <strong>I had to fire up my PC for this one</strong> because it only runs on Windows, which is a great shame but I do hear of a Mac version coming soon.</p>
<p>Other than that if you&#8217;re just starting out online or have some experience already (and have a PC) this software is well <strong>worth taking a close look</strong> at because of it&#8217;s potential for increasing your sales conversions 100 fold.</p>
<p>Before doing anything else you really need to <strong>watch Eben&#8217;s video first</strong> because it does a much better job at explaining how everything works than I&#8217;ve done here&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.gurumastermindblog.com/2008/03/a_new_technique_for_increasing.html" target="_blank">How to create a psychic sales letter</a></strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the link to the software&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.gurumastermind.com/software/" target="_blank">Psychic Sales Letter &#8211; Download</a></strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you but I love to customize my websites and not stick to pre-defined templates so I&#8217;m going to see how far the pages this software creates can be pushed. The biggest thing for me is can I make adjustments to the code and sales letters so I can hook it up with my own e-commerce system.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in January I ran a 7 day test using this <strong>interesting new</strong> online website visitor tracking service called <strong>Crazy Egg.</strong> <em>(Here&#8217;s the article I originally wrote <a href="http://bigsellingwebsitedesign.com/index.php/creating-big-selling-websites/dont-boil-this-crazy-egg/">Don&#8217;t boil this crazy egg</a>).</em></p>
<p>Essentially what this online tracking service does is it tells you which links are the <strong>most popular</strong> ones on your website. You can then use this information to optimize your websites ability to <strong>convert visitors into subscribers or customers.</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the page I tested: BigSellingConversions.com</p>
<p>As soon as you login to your CrazyEgg account you&#8217;re shown a really well laid out and easy to navigate dashboard that shows all the tracking campaigns you&#8217;re running.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a screen shot of the page I tested out&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://bigsellingwebsitedesign.com/wp-content/images/crazyegg/pagetested.gif" alt="Crazy Egg login " height="166" width="322" title="Dont boil this crazy egg (update)" /></p>
<p>So you can see that during this time I had 25 visits and 17 clicks in total for that page.</p>
<p>To be totally honest with you that figure of 25 visits is something <strong>I&#8217;ve not been able to verify </strong>with my Google Analytics stats that I was getting so I have to <strong>question the accuracy</strong> of the tracking. I&#8217;m going to run another test on another site to see how accurate the tracking really is, right now I&#8217;m just not convinced by it.</p>
<p>For the purpose of just showing you what you get when you use this <strong>still very interesting</strong> online tracking tool here are my other results&#8230;</p>
<p>CrazyEgg provides you with a couple of ways to look at the data you get back on the clicks the links on your site has gotten. <strong>The first way is a heat map&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://bigsellingwebsitedesign.com/wp-content/images/crazyegg/yes.gif" alt="Crazy Egg heatmap" height="140" width="240" title="Dont boil this crazy egg (update)" /></p>
<p>Then you can switch to overlay mode and you get something like this&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://bigsellingwebsitedesign.com/wp-content/images/crazyegg/yes2.gif" height="143" width="270" title="Dont boil this crazy egg (update)" alt="yes2 Dont boil this crazy egg (update)" /></p>
<p>What&#8217;s interesting is how many people clicked on the check box, even though the form would still work without the checkbox being checked. The reason for doing this is to use the idea of <strong>commitment and consistency, </strong>when you commit to doing something by taking a positive action you&#8217;re more likely to follow-it through to the end by being consistent in your actions.</p>
<p><strong>Is CrazyEgg worth using?</strong></p>
<p><em>Definitely, but with one caveat&#8230;</em> make sure you <strong>also</strong> track your visitors using a service like <strong>Google Analytics</strong> to compare the visitor numbers.</p>
<p>Based on the what I learned the numbers of clicks were not high enough to get any kind of significant information from them. Ideally you need around 200-300 visits to the page you&#8217;re testing to get meaningful results.</p>
<p>Go check out <strong><a href="http://crazyegg.com" target="_blank">CrazyEgg.com</a></strong> now and see what you can learn about how people are using your website. It costs nothing and takes about 5-10 minutes to set up.</p>
