A members forum allows you to build a tribe while helping others succeed online

Internet Entrepreneurs Forum 11 Internet Entrepreneurs Forum is BHAG Site #5

Internet Entrepreneurs Forum was conceived as a project in the summer of 2010 and was inspired by Tissa Godavitarne‘s ACME People Search Forum which is masterfully utilized. I like the way Tissa uses his forum to build community through the forum by using it as a place where his members provide support for each other across their entire platform… this is very powerful and incredibly effective.  My vision is much the same as Tissa’s and because of this I am content with the steady and progressive growth of the forum based on the needs of the members.

Internet Entrepreneurs Forum is site #5 as I felt this would be a great site to complete as part of my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog.

The forum is built on the PhpBB script which is a free script and widely used by forum developers in a variety of niches. The script is very feature rich although it is not the most advanced option available. The administration area is easy to learn and manage, which is a real plus if you are in anyway technically challanged. I did add one additional script to provide an advertising function allowing me to install banner ads and other images to any section of forum I choose including individual post or specific groups within the forum.

I set up the initial sections of the forum under two main categories, community and forum (main) with several sub-categories. This is just the start and the categories and sub-categories will expand organically as the forum community grows.

Here are the categories and sub-categories as the site is being launched today:

Communty:

Welcome – Please Introduce Yourself

Free Lance / Outsource Job Board

Social Media Profiles (Follow and Follow Back Exchange)

Content Syndication Network

Guidelines and Rules of Engagement

Report SPAM Post and Abuse Here

Member Lounge

Community Members Blogs

Forum:

Strictly Business

Direct Sales Program Reviews

Direct Sales Program Reviews

Network Marketing Program Reviews

Affiliate Marketing Program Reviews

Funded Proposal Program Reviews

NEW Product Launches

All About SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Advertising and Traffic

Traffic Exchanges (Reviews and Recommendations)

Safelist (Reviews and Recommendations)

ClickBank Automated Income

S.W.A.T. Traffic

Boot Scootin’ Traffic

The project plan was very straight forward and here is a checklist of the task completed in this project:

1. Secured the domain and set-up the C panel account on my server.

2. Download and install the PhpBB script here and manually installed.

3. Located and installed the banner rotator php script.

4. Contracted out the graphics and installed.

5. Set-up administrative permissions and preferences.

6. Set-up initial categories and topics.

7. Installed initial ad codes in HTML.

How am I monetizing the site?

This forum will be monetized using affiliate programs promoted with banner ads. Once the forum membership reaches my established benchmarks for traffic and membership size, banner advertising will be sold on a selective basis. In addition, I will post reviews of products and develop special offers for the members and offer the members who own products and programs to offer similar discounts to our members. Direct promotional programs like this will be restricted to a predetermined categories of the forum as not to violate the ‘anti-spamming’ policies I have established on the forum.

This will be my first foray into forum ownership and I have been told that forums are difficult to start and I accept that… most good things in life are often difficult to obtain, so I am ready to patiently invest both time and energy to accomplish my objectives.

I invite you to join the forum and engage by visiting here:

SEO Videos Free BHAG Site #4

SEO Videos Free contains a searchable library of more than 7,000 titles

SEO Videos Free SEO Videos Free BHAG Site #4

The third and final site in the SEO Experts Pro group is SEO Videos Free and it represents site #4 in my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog. This site represents an acquisition opportunity that came along at the perfect time and was the missing piece of the puzzle.

Video is big and many people including me prefer learning through video instruction, so it is always a good idea to include video as a key component to any website project that you develop.  I decided to add video to the the SEO Experts Pro project first by adding video to the SEO Experts Pro blog, which I did and then decided to go a step further by putting together a sister sister which became SEO Free Videos.

I explored building a WordPress based site, a PHP based site, and contracting a programmer to create a site for me. I finally decided to acquire a site through an online auction from a programmer who has extensive experience building video “how to” sites and it was a great decision.

This one was simple as the site was delivered complete and only required that I transfer the files to my hosting account and the domain name to my domain host. The majority of the work to connect the site to the other sites in this group relied on the blog and the social media profiles at Facebook and Twitter.

Search Engines Revealed BHAG Site #3

Search Engines Revealed is a massive e-book packed with SEO secrets!

Search Engines Revealed Cover Graphic Search Engines Revealed BHAG Site #3

The second site in the SEO Experts Pro project is also site #3 of my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog. If you are not aware of what this crazy project is all about and the objectives I have set forth to add value for you and everyone else I engage with in my businesses. Be sure to read the prior post where I explain the entire vision for series of projects.

I created the Internet Business Blueprint to teach others how to create sales funnels and front-end offers that provides extreme value, build your list, and allows you to accomplish your specific major purpose for establishing a business online. Regardless if you are providing a product free of charge or severely under charging as I have done here with a $7 price tag on a book that sells online for forty-seven dollars.

I have written and published e-books as well as utilized private label rights products (PLR) to create high value offers for my customers and subscribers to my list. In this case I decided to provide an extreme value on an expertly written e-book on a very challenging topic… search engine optimization.

This project did not require too much effort, but that does not mean the outcome has any less impact for you and me. It certainly required that I learn a few new skills concerning HTML editing and a few other coding actions.

Here are three tips to consider when using PLR products:

1. Only buy quality PLR to ensure that the content is worthy of you placing your name on it.

2. Generally I would recommend heavily editing the content to ensure that it represents your point of view on the topic.

3. Invest the time required to learn how to properly benefit from re-purposing information products.

Search Engines Revealed is a 173 page e-book that you will gain instant access to from the sales page located here: Search Engines Revealed

The book is divided into eleven chapters as follows:

Chap 01. Introduction to Search Engine Optimization

Chap 02. Search Engines and Directories

Chap 03. How Major Search Engines Work – Crawling Policies and Algorithms

Chap 04. Introduction to Search Engine Submission

Chap 05. Intelligent Ways of Improving Page Rankings

Chap 06. Paid Placement Programs

Chap 07. Verify and Monitor Listings and Ranking

Chap 08. Measuring Performance – Web Logs Analysis

Chap 09. Review of SEO Software and Submission Services

Chap 10. ROI in Search Engine Optimization

Chap 11. Resources and Tools for Search Engine Marketing

The amount of work that you will want to do when selling or giving away private label products or master resell rights products (MRR) depends on your purpose and what you wish to accomplish within your purpose. I have covered the gambit from heavily editing the content and revising the graphics to simply editing the sales or opt-in page as is the case here.

Here are the primary task I performed to complete this project:

1. Edited the sales page title to focus the message and catch the readers attention.

2. Edited the sales copy in order to reflect my message and update the sales page graphically.

3. Integrated the Belcher checkout button and Pay Pal check out process.

4. Integrated AWeber into the download process on the download page and added support details.

I love sharing this project with you because using PLR and MRR products provides you with an opportunity to efficiently publish information products to give away (to grow your list) and sell (to grow your bank account) and add value to your market.  The mental attitude to take when looking at PLR and MRR dictates that you are buying a research document and your job is to edit and finish the work before you place your name on it.

Where do you buy quality PLR and MRR?

I have purchased PLR and MRR products from many sources over the past couple of years and these are the sources I have found to offer quality products in a variety of niches at at a fair price or subscription. I have put together perhaps the best value for quality PLR and MRR are truly affordable prices at My Worldprofit PLR Store.

What’s Up with Rosalind Gardner and Ewen Chia?

I thought perhaps it was April 1st … “April Fools Day” because two of the marketers I respect most in the affiliate marketing arena where engaged in a very public dispute complete with some harmful comments from Rosalind Gardner attacking a respected fellow “Super Affiliate” Ewen Chia in a public forum (Rosalind’s blog).  I love Rosalind Gardner, I have read her book “Super Affiliate Handbook” and have recommended it as an affiliate, I still do. But, I have to admit that this one took me buy surprise because Ewen Chia was unfairly blind-sided in an unprofessional way.

 

Rosalind Gardiner Ewen Chia debate Rosalind Gardner and Ewen Chia Public Dispute Resolved?

 

We could have a long debate about auto-blogging, track-backs, blog commenting for links and many widely accepted white, gray, and black hat traffic methods. The truth is that the Internet is still the wild frontier and for as many experts that would cry fowl, you can find another with perfectly legitimate reasons for why these methods are acceptable. It is kind of like trying to tell someone “how to use social media” the correct way, no such thing exist. Now I could make some obvious recommendation of things you shouldn’t do, but fundamentally social media is an open forum and still in it’s infancy, so you get my point.

I have included the key information and links to both Rosalind’s and Ewen’s blog for you to decide for yourself the merits of this little dispute. What I wanted to comment on is a trend that I am seeing in many niches online. The arguments are not related to products or programs but rather exist among accepted “gurus” of which Rosalind and Ewen both qualify, suddenly feeling the need to assign right or wrong to the practice of Internet marketing, traffic generation, and SEO among others. The troubling part about this trend is the personal attacks.

 

ewen chia internet marketing guru Rosalind Gardner and Ewen Chia Public Dispute Resolved?

 

The dynamics are in constant flux, what worked yesteday may not work tomorrow, a few big name marketers have abandoned the Internet niche in a shift to local business consulting, etc. There is a tremendous amount of change and quite frankly some nervous people. Perhpas this to shall pass, but in the meantime I hope that this serves as the low watermark and we can all get back to serving our markets in the way we believe adds the most value and fulfills our individual model at the same time.

I understand from reading Rosalind’s follow-up post that she has retracted her comments and personally apologized to Ewen Chia, which I applaud her for as it was the right thing to do. I did not want this to pass you my readers without drawing out the lessons here. It is a true teaching moment as there are topics for public comment and those best made in private. One truth about the Intenet that will likely never change, once you put something out on the web, it is almost impossible to take it back. Information travels too far and too fast for the deletion of content to wipe the slate clean.

I truly do admire and respect both Rosalind Gardner and Ewen Chia and I wish them both continued success and trust that we are all a little smarter from this episode. I would love to read your comments and would encourage you to read both the original post and apology to develop an informed opinion. Thank you for reading my blog and I invite you to come back regularly.

I am here to help you succeed and wish for you a blessed day!

That Free Thing Works!

Oh Yes Its Free That Free Thing Review and Recommendation

I was introduced to “That Free Thing” by a good friend and business partner and immediately saw the value and paid the $25 membership fee. Knowing how much my family enjoys dining out and our monthly entertainment budget made this an easy decision. I knew that I would save more than the $9.95 monthly fee if I just used one offer in the member area of the site – my actual monthly saving has been about $150 plus I have received tons of free stuff!

In addition to the shear benefit of the discount coupons and free give-away items, this membership has proven to be more beneficial than Groupon because you also have the opportunity to participate in their compensation plan as part of your membership.

 This Video Explains the Entire Concept!

You Can Join Here Today

It is easy to get started and you will immediately receive 5 free gifts – it could be a meal, cup of coffee, movie tickets, books, music, clothing, airline tickets and a lot more. The best part about it is that the services being given to you are from major retail and consumer brand companies including:

American Airlines

Block Buster

Continental Airlines

Dell Computer

Hard Rock Cafe

Mercedes Benz

Sprint

Ted’s Montana Grill

and more …

To join “That Free Thing” go here: Join That Free Thing

Once you have joined you will have full access to the members area and online access to all of the past and present free offers. You can select freebies from a number of categories including: clothes, education, electronics, entertainment, food & drink, health & beauty, home & garden, kids, samples, software, travel and more.

Your membership will include a copy of the book “The Legal Thief” by co-founder S. Andrew Fraser as will as access to the Mobile App that will alert you when a free offer is in your present location. Imagine walking through your local mall and instantly being alerted that the store you are in front of has a free t-shirt or product sample available to you immediately.

 I would love to read your comments and let me know if you have used services like Groupon. I am interested in knowing if you see value in leveraging an web-based coupon and free gifts site would add freedom to your life-style. Please scroll down to the bottom of this post and leave a comment and thank you for reading my blog.

I am here to help you succeed online and achieve your ideal Internet lifestyle!

Who Are the Top 10 Internet Marketers to Watch 2011

Top 10 Internet Marketers 2011 300x227 Top 10 Internet Marketers to Watch Closeout 2011

A top ten list of internet marketers is always subjective and I am certain you will have a name or two to add to my list. From where I sit here are the top 10 Internet marketers to watch in the later half of 2011 and beyond. This is not a Internet Marketing Popularity list or a list of social media celebrities, I will get to that in a future blog post. I have compiled this list based on two key criteria; first, these marketers have a proven track record of creating products, tools, and resources that work. Second, every person on this list has a proven training system(s) that have successfully taught others how to make money as well.

01. Jeremy Shoemaker – Through his brand ShoeMoney, Jeremy is the real deal and delivers amazing value in both his free and paid courses and other online resources. The ShoeMoney Blog is among the most popular with experienced Internet marketers and entrepreneurs. Jeremy has a very compelling personal story and appeals to me as being “real” as well as a very creative and accomplished marketer. He sincere desire to serve his follows puts him on my list of recommended marketers.

02. Ewen Chia -I read a book almost 2 years ago that completely changed the way I looked at the Internet; the book was called “How I Made My First Million on the Internet” by Ewen Chia and it was as if I had just been the keys to unlock affiliate marketing success.

10. Russell Brunson – Russell Brunson briefly disappeared from my top 10 list in 2010 as it seemed the team the Dot Com Secrets and Second Tier team where revising there platform. I noticed that Russell removed some of the dated products from the market and even sold off his popular forum site. I recently reviewed the new platform as an affiliate saw a glimpse of what is on the agenda in the months ahead. I don’t think all of their systems are set to promote, but I would keep an eye on this as a very solid affiliate program to add to your funnel. For now, I would suggest taking a tour and opting into their training and take action on what you learn.
