BlogWorld Expo 2010 Recap

BlogWorld Expo 2010 just finished up in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

We had a booth at the conference for Affiliate Summit, and met up with lots of interesting folks that are looking to monetize their blogs, videos and podcasts.

Here is the view from the Affiliate Summit booth…

During some downtime, we got tattoo sleeves.

In addition to talking up Affiliate Summit West 2011 to visitors to our booth, we also announced a new feature of Affiliate Summit, the Monetize Summit.

This will be a special track at Affiliate Summit West 2011 that focuses on monetizing content. The theme of Monetize Summit is “It’s OK to Monetize”, and this really resonated with the BlogWorld crowd, as many visitors told us they can’t figure out how to earn income from their work.

It's OK to Monetize

There was a feeling among some bloggers in attendance that they would be selling out be earning money on their blogs. Some people just can’t be saved.

Also during BlogWorld, my Affiliate Thing podcast co-host, Lisa Picarille, joined us to conduct audio interviews that will be posted in the near future.

One of my favorite booths was from BlackBerry – I got to meet up with some people from my tribe to celebrate the best smartphone – the BlackBerry Torch.

In one of the more disturbing moments of BlogWorld, Jason Rubacky of ShareASale fashioned a mullet out of hair extensions to cultivate something of a Joe Dirt look.

Towards the end of BlogWorld, B. Bonin Bough and Stephanie Agresta held a signing for their book “Perspectives on Social Media Marketing,” and I got an autographed copy – thanks guys!

I’ll be reviewing that one in the near future.

I didn’t have a chance to see any breakout sessions, since I was at the booth, but I did get to peek in on the closing keynote.

This was a sort of talkshow format featuring Cali Lewis, Rob Barnett, Adam Carolla, Penn Jillette, and Jeff Hayzlett.

The opinion and comment about Clickbank CB Predator

Keep reading to discover the truth about CB Predators, and why affiliate marketing is only going to get harder and more expensive for those that don’t adapt quickly…

cb predators

Dear Friend,

As an Internet marketer, you know there is only two things that you really need to succeed online … traffic and sales.

Unfortunately for many of us, these two things are shrouded in mystery. Getting traffic can be expensive and time-consuming, and converting the traffic into sales can be an ongoing mystery … locked behind years of tracking in testing.

When it comes to getting traffic, the problem is a lot of paid traffic sources eat into profits. This is a nightmare if you are an affiliate and you only get 75% of each sale. That is why so many people turn to free methods such as SEO, blogging or article marketing.

The problem is, each of these methods alone requires all of your time dedicated to it … along with a lot of experience, testing and learning from your mistakes.

And even after you’ve managed to get the traffic to your website, you still face the daunting task of getting traffic to convert into sales.

This two punch combination leaves a lot of affiliates bitter, broke and out of time. But it doesn’t really have to be that way.

So what is the solution?

You can get a lot of traffic from search engines, without becoming an SEO geek, or having to pay for it.

SEO needs to be done right… which means a certain way of building sites that are search engine friendly, and attract inbound links (aka, they are helpful and encourage linking). This really is as complicated as people think, because it’s all about how you build a site in the first place… and what kind of content you put on it.

When it comes to making sales, you’ll find that it’s not really what you’re doing on your website that is causing problems… it’s usually because you’re just targeting the wrong type of visitor. You’ll find that when you target the right type of visitor (a.k.a. the buyer) then your sales will suddenly start to take off.

It’s not enough just to target the right types of people though… because you have to create the right type of content to convince them to buy. This is called preselling, and for many people, it can be confusing and hard work.

But again, making sales doesn’t have to be hard work. Once you have the right formula and tool, you’ll see that sales really will take off . It has been proven time and time again that reviews are one of the best ways to actually presell visitors and make sales as an affiliate.

But here’s the problem…

I won’t lie to you … SEO is time-consuming and complicated when you don’t know what you’re doing. Therefore getting traffic from search engines is usually out of bounds for a lot of affiliate marketers.

Plus, writing reviews is also a lot of hard work, and not everybody has the time or experience to do a good job at it.

Why? Well, there are several almost hidden psychological elements which act as buying triggers, which all good presells and reviews have… and it usually takes a high paid copywriter to come up with them.

It’s not just the words either, because a lot of sales are generated from a properly designed site. This doesn’t mean the site needs to look like CNN or some fancy web designer’s portfolio, but it does need to be laid out in a certain way to appeal to buyers and trigger sales. But again, designing your sites and getting them to make money requires a lot of time, patience, money and fancy desktop software.

It’s no wonder a lot of affiliates struggle to make money, but there is hope yet …

So what do I recommend?

CB Predators is a software which aims to solve almost of these headaches that affiliates have. Its sole purpose is to create professional looking product review sites with only 18 mouse clicks.

But it doesn’t just allow you to publish reviews, it is also built from the ground up to create websites that attract serious and targeted buyers for the products that you are promoting in your reviews, and creates a visually appealing review page that has been proven to convert visitors into buyers.

It incorporates several SEO (Search Engine Optimization) features, which search engines absolutely love.

And the best part is, you DON’T NEED to write all those reviews yourself. CB Predators does have a team of pro copy writers working hard, writing completely unique content to be added to your sites automatically. This means that every site you’re building with CB Predators will be completely unique and Google as well as the other search engines will love them.

You can build as many review sites as you like. There is no limit. And you can install your sites quickly and easily into subdomains if you like… so if you have yoursite.com, you could easily use the unlimited subdomains most sites
come with to host your Predator sites.

Won’t it be pointless if everybody is promoting the same product?

Yes, and that’s why they’ve made sure that can’t happen. The CBPredators software assigns strict user limits on each product.

Once the limit is reached, new users won’t be able to promote that product. To keep it fair it’s done on a first come-first served basis… and besides, there are plenty of things for everyone to promote. Another thing I really like about CB Predators is, that they have teamed up with many vendors and did some agreements so that they get access to the upcoming products much before other JV partners or the public will know about it.

This is really a great advantage, because you’ll be able to get the best domain names and create a review site and start building links a long time before anyone else. And I think I don’t have to tell you, that these are advantages which can bring you into the top 3 in Google for all those product launches and making a lot of money. We both know that’s worth a small fortune on its own.

But that’s not all you’re getting with CB Predators. They also have an ongoing training about getting traffic to your review sites. They not only cover free traffic getting methods but also the paid ones like PPC, PPV or media buying.

CB Predators – My Conclusion

Ultimately, CB Predators does exactly what it promises… it creates affiliate review websites that attracts free search engine traffic and generate sales. With that in mind, it’s very hard to be overly critical of the product.

Although there seems to be a few glitches and missing features, I have no doubt that the creators will quickly plug these holes by the time this review has even been published!

Admittedly, it won’t generate award-winning Web page in terms of design, but it will do exactly what it promises, which is a lot more than many products do these days.

If you are sick and tired of messing around with technically challenging WordPress blogs then CB Predators is the perfect solution for you.

Finally it allows you to create a nice mix of product related content along with tutorials and related article content … which attracts the right type of traffic from the search engines, who are ultimately people looking to buy the products you are reviewing.

None of this is complicated, and it all makes perfect sense… and with an application that allows you to do it with point-and-click simplicity, it is extremely difficult to deny the sheer power of this in the hands of those that take action.

More to the point, it works …

The truth is, you still have to put in a bit of effort to really ramp up your traffic. You also have to pick decent products to review, which can sometimes be hit and miss.

But that will never change… there is always an element of human error, and there is always going to be some work involved. The question is, do you want to do it manually and mess around with complicated installations like WordPress, or do you want an application which does all the technical grunt work for you, and spits out a site which is designed to sell like crazy?

How to get fast cash money online without a website or email list

You dont need to have a website to make money on the Internet. Here is a proven strategy to make money online without a website:

Step 1: Affiliate Product

Find a product to promote where you make good commission on each sale. Generally, you will get the biggest commissions on digital products. Digital products are defined as something that is downloaded directly to a customers computer after purchasing, like electronic books or software.

Since there is no extra cost per unit, no inventory and no shipping, the commissions are much greater than on regular "physical" goods. The most common commission on digital products is 50%. The best place to find such products is Clickbank.com.

Sign up as a reseller (also called affiliate) for a product that looks the most appealing to you. After you sign up, you will get a unique affiliate link where you need to send people to purchase the product.

Your affiliate link will have a special code that will tell the product owner that its you who referred the customer. The affiliate link code will allow your commissions to be tracked correctly and assigned to you.

Step 2: Domain Name

Get a domain name to redirect to your affiliate link. A domain name is a .COM name (like yourproduct.com). You can get it for under $9 at GoDaddy.com. GoDaddy.com will allow you to redirect your domain name to your affiliate link at no extra cost.
Sale! $6.89.com at GoDaddy.com 120x60


So when someone types in your .COM domain in their browser, it will go to your affiliate link. The visitor will see the website with the product you promote, and the commissions will be tracked correctly.

The reason why you need a domain name is that its memorable and it makes you look more trustworthy. Affiliate links tend to be too long and arouse suspicion. For example, most people would rather click on the link bestwidgets.com as opposed to abcwidgets.com?reseller=john

A domain name will make your affiliate link look like its your own website. So basically, you will have a product to promote and a website to send people to and get commissions - without really having your own website.

Step 3: Drive Traffic

In order to make sales, you need to get visitors to your domain name (which will forward them to the website of the product that you resell). You can pay for advertising and hope that your profit will be greater than advertising cost, or you can use free ways to generate traffic.

The most effective way to get free targeted visitors to your domain name is by writing and submitting articles. You can write short articles on the topic related to the product that you promote. At the end of the article, you include your author bio and your domain name link.

You will then submit your articles to various websites, and allow them to publish your articles as long as your link is included. Your articles will get published in many places on the Internet, and will be advertising your affiliate link at no cost to you whatsoever. People will read your articles, like what you have to say and click on your domain name link ready to buy.

Once you start getting regular sales from your articles, you can go back to step 1 and find another product to promote using this strategy. After a while, you will build up a nice source of Internet income - without even having a website.
