Hello, folks!

Today, I am posting yet another technique to get FREE traffic to your site, blog, lens… and this will only take an hour or so! Well, let’s start with an introduction.

… One of my lists usually gets 10-20 new daily opt-ins but today I got 100! I had to dig deeper and find WHERE exactly they came from… it was a Squidoo lens I built a while ago. That lens usually gets 20 uniques per day, but today I got a little over 750! About 250 of them clicked on my links within the lens, 100 subscribed to my list and I also got 5 sales! Remember, I spent 30 minutes creating this lens, another 20 minutes writing an article and submitting it to EzineArticles, 3 or 4 months ago and I haven’t done anything to it since.

So what exactly happen?

When I created the lens, I tried to use the “Free TV Traffic” techniques I learned about on Wealthy Affiliate. This technique was posted by Jay, a member of WA (I don’t feel right taking credit for it).

So, I explain. You most likely have seen those “Work From Home” TV infomercials. Many of them promise to make you super rich but we all know it’s a bunch of B.S. most of the time.

Well, that’s all for now. I imagine you figured out the rest

Just kidding. Here is something a lot of marketers don’t realize. Many of those folks who stumble across these infomercials open up Google and search for reviews. So why don’t you make a review and get on the top results of Google for the main keywords? I explained how to get on Google’s first page in this post: “Dominate Google’s First Page for FREE”.

You could either order their package and review it (which I do not recommend, because once you give them your phone # - they will never stop calling you). What you could do, is check out Scam.com and RipoffReport.com - most of the programs advertised on TV are listed in these sites, with reviews and customer’s feedback.

As to WHY I got so many visitors all of the sudden, the answer is simple. That same infomercial ran on TV today at 3pm, then 6pm - and since it’s Saturday, most people are home, watching TV.

Now you see how amazing it is. You make this lens or a blog, which will have a constant amount of daily visitors and HIGHLY increased amounts of visitors on special occasions - for instance when that TV ad is playing on TV. The advertiser pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to have their ad on TV - but most of the time they do not optimize their online business - so you “steal” their traffic, it’s all your completely free!

Don’t limit yourself to “Make Money From Home” infomercials. There are A LOT of TV ads related to looking good (Muscle Building, Acne Removal…), Losing Weight and many many others…

DISCLAIMER: Please use this technique at your own risk. I once purchased a domain and built a mini site about it, The_Whatever_Infomercial_Scam.com and I received an e-mail from the lawyer of this company asking me to transfer the domain name to them or they will sue me for $300,000 because I used their trademarked name and claimed their company to be SCAM (which it was and still is).

Be creative.

Make money.

… because you should.

A year ago I subscribed for EuroTuner (U.S. Magazine talking about European Car Scene; Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Porsche…)

This 100 page illustrated magazine has been around for 10 years now. I subscribed because I am a Volkswagen freak and I want to keep up with the newest products in the industry, events, projects and so on… It’s a passion of mine, and for only 25$ a year I get 12 issues! (12$ if you live in the USA).

Well, slowly but surely this hobby has shifted into a money maker. Every months I see the hottest Wheels, Car parts, Turbo kits and so on - so I made a website that “sells” all that (as an affiliate). I contacted some of the most popular websites that sell these parts - and a few of them were happy to set up an affiliate program which they didn’t have before.

Besides knowing what parts are hot - I know of all the upcoming events and gatherings for European car enthusiasts. WATERFEST, one of the events, attracts over 20,000 cars every year! So I add a page to my site, about Waterfest! On this page I tell people how badly they need to show off their new set of wheels at the event, and guess what? They can purchase the wheels at only $2000 by simply clicking on that special link!

I guess you get my point. This could be applied to almost every niche out there! For $25/year I get at least 5-10 great ideas EVERY SINGLE MONTH! And I make sure to monetize on it!

Now, go out, buy a magazine on a subject you enjoy and think of could could you possibly monetize on it!

Ok, you won’t make a Million - but a good chunk of cash is very easy to make right now!

Millions of people will soon be breaking their heads on what to buy as Christmas gifts for their family, friends, coworkers…etc. And just when everyone is eager to buy, it is our chance to sell and to make massive amount of money!

Every year the “Christmas Madness” starts earlier and earlier. Every year more and more money is being spent on Christmas gifts all over the world. Well, what did you expect? Kids no longer want the $5 wooden Nutcracker, they want a high tech $500 Wii. Adults don’t want some $50 Walkman, they want a $500 iPhone - I could go on like this forever but I guess you get my point.

So what should you do now?

I suggest making a blog on blogger.com or making a site with weebly.com, you sign up to Amazon affiliate program, get your links and start selling! Over 2 months before Xmas - you still have plenty of time to make some decent cash!

Just to give you an idea of what’s hot this year and what will be MOST LIKELY sold out in the stores:

Mario Kart Wii, Nintendo Wii (second year in a row!), Wii Fit, Guitar Hero III, iPhone 3G, Elmo Live… and many many others!

You can also try to get high rankings for some generic keywords, in SEPTEMBER alone these keywords got following searches (number of searches per month);
christmas gift 201,000
christmas gift ideas 40,500
christmas gift baskets 18,100
christmas gift basket 14,800
christmas gift idea 12,100
gift ideas for christmas 6,600
corporate christmas gift 5,400

… and you can imagine these numbers will only go up as we are approaching the Xmas Madness!

Now go make some money! Don’t forget to comment here

THIS POST does not bring any value - Don’t Read It!

(dear Mr. Kern, please don’t sue me for using your photo in my blog post:)

Well, first of all - nothing against Frank. I love this guy’s content, in fact I think he is one of the greatest marketers ever! So what’s all this really about?

You see, I usually have very short hair. I get a hair cut every 2-3 weeks… I haven’t cut it for a month now, however, I want to make it clear - I don’t like to have long hair. So I made up this stupid goal; “I will only cut my hair when I am back on track, making $10,000/month once again…” See, I have been lazy lately and haven’t worked on my promotions… and being lazy kills a beginner marketer, more importantly it kills his income!

So I though, as I see my hair grow longer and longer - I will be more motivated to work more and make that $10,000/month+…

I do wish I’d become as successful as Frank Kern, however I don’t want to resemble him simply because of the long hair

How long do you give me until I cut my hair? (a.k.a Make $10k)

Hey folks!

How are your online campaigns rolling? I hope they’re making you some decent moolah!

Anyways… So today I was suppose to launch LingoBasics.com, another Clickbank Product… but it didn’t happen. Only today I realized how many OFFLINE factors could affect the actual online business. If you’re in for a little story - than keep on reading.

Today at noon I was making some final touches to the LingoBasic’s sales page, and I was about to send out an e-mail to my affiliates about the program launching at 5p.m.

Before going really deep into all of this, I decided to take my dog for a walk. Spending 30 minutes on the fresh air ( hummm… who am I kidding; Heavily Polluted Metropolitan Air is not fresh), anyhow, after taking a half -an-hour walk I got a boost of energy and was ready to go all in on that product launch. So, I get beck to my computer, open up AWEBER and start writing an e-mail to ny affiliates and all of the sudden - BANG!

… my pc shuts down. In a few short seconds I realize there is no electricity at home! What a great reason to go outside and buy a coffee! As I make it to Tim Hortons (Very popular Canadian coffee shop) which is located only two blocks away from home, I find out, to my disappointment that they also don’t have electricity hence they can’t sell anything. It appears that a few neighborhoods (including mine) don’t have any power.

I start getting a little worried and upset. I have to launch a product, I was also planning on watching the Prime Minister debate on TV (Canadian elections are coming up) and well, a few more things…3p.m, 4p.m 5p.m… 9p.m… still not power! Starting to get bored and sleepy I get into my car to go for a drive downtown, where I can finally get my coffee. Local radio station announces that some excavations in my part of the town damage the power lines but it should be fixed soon enough! Well, what do you know? 10:30 p.m the Light is finally back on!

I have never been that happy to waste some electricity and I honestly do believe I wouldn’t be able to live without it… As you can see, a little mistake made by construction workers ruined my product launch and well - it ruined the whole day for me. The online business does not only depend on Keywords and Traffic - it depends on so many other things we can’t control…

Lesson to be learned? I need a laptop with a copy of EACH and EVERY document that I have on my PC - if I had that, I would have been able to go work in a downtown café… One more thing to buy ASAP.

Feel free to share your personal stories about OFFLINE factors that affect your ONLINE business, in a good or a bad way!
