Question by Mrknowitall: If you are an Internet Marketer. Please help!?
Please point me in the right direction.

I’m just getting started with trying to make money online. I’m gearing towards affiliate marketing because I don’t have a lot of money to spend. I don’t have my own product and never owned my own business.

There are many Internet Strategies and products that people are trying to sell. I don’t know which to trust. Some of them just want your money and not really trying to help you.

Is there a good mentor to learn from or site to get started with Internet Marketing mainly, affiliate marketing?

Thanks in advance!

Recently I received an email from some gents that developed a piece of software that data mines clickbank for the “best” affiliate products and such. Since I am not into affiliate marketing I did not check it out. Perhaps a search will yield the name of the software and where to acquire it or a free trial of it.

searched my email trash folder and the name of it is CBsurge

I would put the link here but I did another and the answer was deleted and told that it violates Answers Guidelines

Question by : What is the income potential for doing affiliate marketing online?
Things like Amazon (+ probably 1,000,000 other sites to choose from out there), adult websites etc. I am thinking about spending 80+ hours per week on that, at least.
Thank you.

There are a handful of people doing online affiliate marketing who make 0,000+ per year. Of those who make any profits online, most make about enough to pay their light bill. The majority, of course, lose money, often a lot of it. Whose business models are you studying? What marketing experience, expertise do you have? Who’s your copywriter for your website, autoresponders, marketing articles, and other marketing materials – and what is their track record with other clients?

If you know what you are doing, you’ll do it by getting the workload down to about 20 hrs/wk – IF you know what you are doing & set things up properly. While you might need to invest some long hours during your learning curve & to set up the biz, if you think you can keep up 80 hr weeks, you are headed for disaster. You would make more money working 2 jobs!

Here are FBI MOST WANTED TERRORISTS and their online aliases. Some are wanted for U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya & Indonesia. Do these two places ring any bells?

Many get rich quick scams serve as product placement for new cutting edge internet technologies, and logos, some sold through Clickbank. The people appearing in testimonials are part of the expansion of this organization and are often pitching other high priced products and services. They all link to one another through their marketing strategies and ability to optimize in search rankings.

Between the aliases the use, and the way in which they speak about things, everything they do has double meaning. Their faces in Google image search is similar to the picture book of symbols mentioned in The Da Vinci Code movie. Here is a code of look a likes pitching all sorts of stuff who are interconnected;

Selling a program on making millions online is Professor James Bradley who looks like the Pentagon bomber Bill Ayers.

Jay Conrad Levinson is behind a number of “guerilla” marketing and advertising books. He looks like George Soros, who’s last name is a (palin)drome. Soros has been credited for collapsing a number of nation’s currencies. George Soros has been quoted several times regarding his views on a New World Order.

The Super Affiliate Handbook is sold by someone who looks like Jill Biden, her name is Rosalind Gardner. Some appear to represent people, more in how they pose, rather then a direct look alike. Stephen Pierce appears to represent radical Van Jones, Brett McFall-Austan Goolsbee, John Childers-Andy Stern, and Jay Abraham as Ayman al-Zawahri, just to name a few.

Problem with your Google Adwords PPC ads and can’t get a straight answer? You could try Yanik Silver who looks a lot like Sergei Brin, but he probably won’t know. He sells 33 Days to Online Profits (prophets.) Why not try Perry Marshall, who looks like Obama’s priest Reverend Pfleger? He sells The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords, infringing upon Google’s trademark.

Many more can be found at Lorrie Morgan Ferrero’s Red-Hot-Copy blog such as; 72 Virgin Records Richard Branson, & White House Party Crashers the Salahi’s with Valerie Jarrett’s daughter.

The Rich Jerk sent out emails promoting Stompernet in Atlanta Georgia. The staff included Brad Fallon, an airline pilot, and Eben Pagan selling a seminar “Get Altitude”. 3 days after reporting this code to the FBI, Delta in Atlanta canceled a large number of flights due to “safety reasons.” In the Youtube videos related to the Rich Jerk, it appears that Mark Cuban is the Rich Jerk. He’s the billionaire who owns the Dallas Maverick’s basketball team. Think O’bomber or Barrac-uda Palin would play for him? Another guy seen on Youtube claiming to be Robert Johnson Rich Jerk, is Tony Rezko.

Obama announced his run for office on Oprah Winfrey’s show. Have you ever noticed that Oprah’s friend Gayle King looks like Whitney Houston? Think that her name could be a code, Whit_ney White-Hous_ton House?

It appears the internet marketing experts controlled the comments, the headlines, and the finance of the last election online with the highest ranking site in Google search, Youtube.

In my strongest opinion this is the last piece of the puzzle, Osama Bin Laden is also a spokesperson, and a look-a-like. Osama represents Obama/Biden (Bi)n La(den.)

Yes, Yahoo is a scandalous evil company that is going to kill you and your family. Isn’t it obvious? — You’re only making it easier by being on their web-pages and asking questions about their diabolic plans.

Question by My name peggie: Do you think there is there room for competition in the online startup world?
I am starting a business with a couple other partners in a market where a 4 year old internet company is clearly running away with the prize. They had about 900k visits last month to their website. The second place company only has 67K last month. Its that big of a gap!

The difference is the 900k company has raised close to -million in venture capital. Our strategy is to raise venture capital and we have a good network it seems the other competitors are run by young guys. The 900K has a highly educated team with lots of experience and great board members, whereas like I said the other guys are amateurs you can clearly tell.

Well our startup internet company will launch in January and we plan on raising some millions of dollars.

My question is do you think in a new market where first place is 900k/month and 2nd place is 67k per month, does that mean the big company has taken the prize and there is nothing we can do? I don’t feel that way at all I think the market has 10-million hits per month potential because it is a NEW market. Please give me your suggestion.

Create a Brand Identity
They could use labels and advertising to identify themselves as the “freshest” “hometown” supplier.

Marketing direct to consumers:
This could include attending local farmer’s market events, or even building their own farmer’s market for area residents and tourists to buy direct. Another possibility is through to build a website and market it through food/recipe magazines, radio shows, etc.

Wholesale Distribution:
Sell wholesale to local, regional or national stores – who then re-sell it on a retail basis to consumers. Or… become a supplier to restaurant chefs. This could either be for franchise chains on a large scale, or to independent restaurants on a small, specialty scale.
The farmers could use a mixed strategy that implements several or all of these elements.
Hopefully these ideas give you a starting point that you can build from! good luck . The link below will help you .

Question by : Is this Osama Bin Laden Conspiracy Story True?
Many scam artists appeared to have cornered the market on affiliate marketing education. Their sites use aliases, bogus whois info, servers in different states, businesses registered in another state or country and phone number, if they even displayed one. What are they hiding?

One day, after many years researching, a link appeared on Armand Morin’s blog referencing someone posting a link to Al-Qaeda. A number of their faces match the FBI’s MOST WANTED TERRORISTS.

And I suppose you also believe the Earth is really flat … !

What do you think? Answer below!

Question by Andrew S: website based business start-up question?
What do you do when you want nothing more than to move forward with a concept, when you’d be willing to work on it night and day if you possessed the skill, but your stuck at a road block because you know that even though you are trying to learn the skill required to move forward, the skill needed takes years to perfect.
I have a concept put together for a website that, if built with quality, would have the potential to attract masses equal to eBay. While never directly competing with any of the following, it would pull business from: Auction sites (eBay, amazon, craigslist, etc), media distribution (netflix, redbox, retail/online media and game sales), and any other company that deals with buying, selling, or renting merchandise.
I have already purchased a domain and literally created the concept on paper. Its not some half of a page concept either, its a page by page fully laid out representation of what you would see online if it was functional.
So now the part where I look for some expert advice on how i should proceed. The following is what I had in mind but I don’t know what the smartest move would be.

- I am a military vet and computer science major to be. I have just started taking my programming related classes but they move at a pace that is way to slow for me to learn everything I need to know to make this concept happen myself. I have been running though video tutorials of programming languages I will be learning but the workload is just to great so I can only learn bits here and there. I have met other students in farther along classes that know a lot more than I but after some time around them, i have made a judgement call that not even they posses the full skill needed to make this concept a success. If i wait until I transfer to UCLA, I know i will meet more qualified people that I can potentially partner up with to make this concept happen, but that is still just short of 2 years away.
- Another road i could and might potentially go down is introducing the concept to my computer science professor. He is 100% dedicated to seeing his students succeed. He also worked for the military like I and has started up many corporations in his time. His knowledge surprises me everyday that i am in class. I think he said that he just learned a new programming language over the weekend that puts him at 19 under his belt. he said that the more languages you learn, the easier they are to learn. I have already introduced my brick wall problem to him in the past via an email before I started the class and he said that we could discuss it further once i started the class and he might be able to get me going in the right direction. Since I started the class, I have not approached him yet to talk about it, I don’t know if its because I don’t want to think the concept will get into the wrong hands and be stolen from me or just because I don’t know if his response will get me and further or not. He would never steal the concept and at this point even if it got stolen, i don’t think i would care because I could tell myself I know what not to do next time.
- Another potential avenue I could take is to just start shelling out cash, which i don’t have much of. I would probably start with a lawyer, don’t know what kind, and then move on to a development company if i could afford it. I’ve tried freelancer sites for other projects and things did not turn out as i hoped. I haven’t went down this path because I don’t know where to spend the limited money that I do have which will yield me the best results and chance at success.
- The last potential idea that i have come up with, and the one I would like to go down, is to find a very skilled programmer, possibly somewhere around my age bracket, that shares the same passion for success that i do. Someone that prefers to do the hardcore programming while I develop the graphical, marketing and strategy end of things. I don’t mind having a partner taking a share of the profits, as long as he is not on the controlling end of being able to push me out of the loop and take my concept.
-My teacher also mentioned something about angel investors, I don’t know exactly how that type of thing works but if it involved me taking out a loan, I would not do that unless I was sure as to where the money needed to be spent. If its just someone giving me money for a start-up for a part of the profits, I don’t know that I would take it either for the same reason. Now if its something more of a partnership where we both collaborate and work out a plan of action to achieve success as a team, that’s the thing i am looking for. Sort of a mentor and investor at the same time.

So now its time to let your opinions flow on what you think the best plan of action would be. Also are there any good sites or places to meet potential partners who have the skill but not the creative mind so to speak. I in the Los Angeles area
I wanted to add one other thing…. I’m sure that I will get people telling me that a good idea is hard to come by or try and tell me things that will discourage me but I would rather only hear things from do-ers and people with potentially helpful solutions. I have already convinced myself that I have developed a very creative mind. Back in 2007-2008, I wanted to put together a solution that would allow Microsoft to compete with Apples rise in success. I developed a professional 150+ page proposal to Microsoft. Along with some very key elements and new products, it explained that Microsoft needed to adopt the motto of an “ecosystem” for their products instead of all of their products competing by themselves. It took me a few months to successfully get it in the hands of Mr. Ballmer, but I eventually did. Although I never received a response from Mr. Ballmer or Microsoft, it seems that what was proposed in that book is starting to show. Microsoft has started integrating their three scr

You could certainly talk to your professor for he simple purpose of ‘scratching the surface’ of finding out what direction he thinks you might should go….depending on the professor, the amount of information/advice he would give you may be great or perhaps minimal(some professors will give very little advice, while in the ‘professor’ role- fear of liability for ‘work’ not related to the teaching of the subject).
You could certainly search on-line(by googling), for someone looking for someone to partner with an individual who has an invention idea(like yourself). In that case however, an attorney would certainly be wise……if you wanted to get an inexpensive (small business)attorney who could assist you, you might want to look at Prepaid Legal’s ‘Small Business’ Plan- the attorneys are good and there are a lot of separate informative tools available through the membership. In case you would like to look at the membership information, you can get it from this site: www.prepaidlegal.com/hub/todd93
From the site you can look at the ‘business’ plan(s).

Hopefully this information is a little helpful
