Sometimes when you stumble across an idea, you just know that you’ve struck gold. I think “skinny coffee” is one of these ideas. A fairly new company called Boresha International has created the only fat burning coffee on the market. Yes, you heard that right, FAT BURNING COFFEE. Sounds too good to be true right? Years of research and 11 FDA approved claims say that this coffee the real McCoy. Everyone knows coffee is a HUGE industry. Even if you don’t drink coffee, you can’t help but notice there is a Starbucks or other coffee shop on practically every street  [ Read More ]

In my last post I wrote about how I was changing up some of the things that I’ve been doing. In addition to going into full-time internet marketing, I’ve also picked up two fairly large internet projects. One of them is called Advid Nation for which I will be doing a hefty amount of internet marketing. The company, started last year (2010) by a good friend of mine named Jeremy Jones, is a video based social media website like YouTube, but which pays users for their content. I’m excited about the idea, because I think it has a lot of  [ Read More ]

How Do I Advertise My Business Online? This is a very common question for local business owners these days. The statistics are everywhere about how many people do local searches online and how the number has been skyrocketing over the last few years. Any business owners that are unconvinced that the internet is here to stay needs only to look at some of these statistics to see the trends. But of course looking at the statistics only gives us a reason to market but doesn’t help us much with the “how.” So with that, here are some of the steps  [ Read More ]

I saw something that made me laugh today. I saw a website offering to give 2000+ back links in a matter of two weeks!! If you have ever built links really fast (as I’ve tried) Google generally isn’t a fan of that, especially with new sites. For example, I through up a site for a project I’m working on and landed on the 3rd page of Google with just minimal on page SEO stuff. I contacted my friend who has a PR4 blog and asked him to link to my site to help me out. He did, and as soon  [ Read More ]

In case you haven’t caught on yet, commenting on other people’s blogs is a great way to build links to your website. And as all internet marketers know (or will learn very quickly!) links are a huge part of getting your site ranking well in the search engines. Recently, internet guru Ryan Deiss released a free report called “Authority Codes” where he gave away some Google search hacks for finding relevant blogs to post comments on. I’ve found it quite helpful and I highly recommend that you read it. However, I did want to add a few observations that will  [ Read More ]

So it appears as though the clash of the titans has begun! Google and Facebook have taken aim at each other. Facebook has introduced search and Google is creating their own social media network. Facebook has taken their “like” feature to the next level by allowing website owners to place a Facebook branded “like” button on individual posts and web pages. Apparently Facebook plans on using this popularity contest as their way of doing search. In contrast to Google, where the website with the most authoritative links pointing to it wins, Facebook seems to plan on having more of a  [ Read More ]

Marketing to small businesses seems to be the bees-knees these days. I’ve gotten dozens of e-mails over the last few months from top internet marketers like Frank Kern, Ryan Deiss, and Mike Koenigs who are either directly or indirectly pushing some type of system for doing internet marketing for small businesses. I would guess that if the “big dogs” are hot on this trail then it is definitely worth consideration. As it turns out, according to the research company known as The Kelsey Group, 97% of consumers are not using the internet to research businesses in their local areas before  [ Read More ]

As part of the 30 Day Challenge last year, Ed Dale had some new software that he introduced to help the newbies with their internet marketing. One excellent piece of software was Market Samurai which is an absolutely fantastic product. The other piece of software was called Traffic Bug. Traffic Bug is a fully automated social bookmarking tool, RSS Submitter, Search Engine Submitter, and Directory Submitter all in one which is put out by one Michael R. Roberts. The concept is brilliant! Which internet marketer wouldn’t kill for completely automated features like these? Furthermore, Traffic-Bug allows the user to set  [ Read More ]

If you’ve been following internet marketing for any length of time, you’ll quickly learn the basic concepts of internet marketing. You’ll learn the steps to setting up a blog, the steps to building a list, the steps to getting to the top of the SERPs, etc. There are really only two steps right? Post content and build back links. The fundamentals are easy, the implementation can take awhile, especially if you’re working alone. Just remember, especially when you’re first learning, these things take time. Rome wasn’t build in a day and you’re site won’t rank in a day (most likely).  [ Read More ]
