Introduction

Lots of words in this one. It's been a busy month. I'm tending towards a pattern now - concentrate on link exchanging in the last week of the month, in preparation for the next spider crawl. Whenever I find something good, I put it in the newsletter straight away, although I usually only upload it weekly. Hope you find something good in this month's issue.

Fr33bies

I know I usually have an ebook as the fr3ebie, but this month it's a fre3 program. ReferLive is absolutely brand spanking new. The byline is "your M'LM Lifeline" and it really does look like it will teach you everything you need to know about marketing your M'LM. It includes fr3e tracker, downline builder, HTML generator, and a heck of a lot more. It may not be a direct m0ney spinner, but it sure beats paying for training and indirectly you may make m0ney from your downline. Do not miss this program.

Marketing and Tech Tips

David Ledoux , voted "The no 1 M'LM Trainer In The World!" by the MLM Insider Reader Poll has a site (amongst others) called ilovemlm.com. This index page sells an ebook, like many others. Now I hate paying for ebooks, but I do like reading their ads, to learn how marketing experts think and write. At the bottom of this site are links to some of his previous articles for fr3e. Very interesting reading. Focussing upon the need for discipline, efficiency and self-organisation. Great when you can learn for fr3e.

I've been busy exchanging links with other webmasters for some of my sites, www.work-from-home-in-australia.com and www.work-from-home-with-me.com, and www.a-get-paid-site.com. I can't get over how cheap it is to buy domains from Godaddy.com. It just makes a site look more professional when you have your own domain name. But it is interesting how many people do the same thing - build a few sites, link them to each other, often recommending the same program. There's one guy whose email I keep bumping into - I found out he has 7 different sites all promoting SFI. Another lady I exchanged links with said she gets about 2000 hits per month, ever since she got serious about exchanging links. So yes, it's worth it.

YES YES YES YES YES. I got a decent listing in Google! For keyword phrase "Home Business World" I got second position on Google, and for "A Get Paid Site" I got fourth position, and it uses fr3e h0sting. That's even better than I had hoped for. And it proves that you can get a decent listing on major search engines for FR3E. It was worth reading all those articles about search engine optimisation. Choose your keywords carefully, use them in your domain name, title, description, keywords, headings, alternate text, and first paragraph, then exchange links with sites related to your chosen keywords, and hold your breath. Down with pay-per-cl1ck. Hard work pays for fre3e. Get more detail at www.free-marketing-help.com. You can do it too. I still have a lot of room for improvement on the more general search terms.

Some more sites with fr3e security tips:
PestPatrol - A good trojan detector.
GRC - Great Shields-Up analysis

A tip from a guy whose gold account used to get hacked. Just in case there is a keylogger program hidden on your PC, don't type in your passw0rds. Save them in a file, and then cut and paste them into the password field. Especially for accounts such as e-gold, stormpay, paypal, etc.

SiteSell have a new fr3e spamch3ck facility h3re. You email your newsletter to the ch3cking program, and it sends back the result. A great fre3bie to offer from your site. It picked up a few more phrases that I needed to change, like c1ick h3re, and g3t paid.

Business Programs

I'm renewing my efforts in SFI this month. I had let my paid membership lapse as I had been dabbling in too many programs. But SFI keeps on improving and adapting to changes. They reworked Full-Circle-Success into IAHBE, improved, simplified and expanded their compensation plan, and then in May, they re-vamped their FastTrack program. So I hopped back in. You can see a Flash presentation on their FastTrack program by visiting Fast Track I've also noticed renewed advertising of SFI through startpages, safelists, and search engines. So I have created a website for SFI, Work-From-Home-With-Me.com for use on search engines. The keywords "work from home" are very closely contested, so any ranking in the top 100 would be a very good result. I've only collected about 30 links, so it will be interesting to see what ranking that many links will generate. Search engine positioning is a mix of fun, creativity, competition. I just wish I lived in the US so I could ch3ck out their Veriuni products without paying overseas postage. At least they have electronic alternatives. All the techniques I used are available at Fr3e Marketing Help

One benefit of SFI being fr3e, is that you can practise your traff1c building techniques on it, without wasting m0ney. There's nothing worse than paying to be in an expensive program, and not knowing how to promote it.

I still believe the best focus for long-term success on the internet, is with businesses that redirect m0ney you already spend each month, towards your own home businesses. Businesses that let you buy consumable products, like cleaners, health, beauty, vitamins, h0sting, internet and ph0ne services. If you can convert a customer to your products in these areas, and the products are good quality, you should be able to generate residual income for the long term. I know gurus all say that selling ebooks - especially your own - is easy because of the electronic delivery method, but ebooks always have a limited lifespan, due to the constantly changing nature of the internet. When the hot period is over for a new product, you have to redo the effort all over again for the next product. To me, ebooks are the back-end product. Just my two cents.

I did join Empowerism in the last hours of May31 to take advantage of Revolution9's Empowerism matrix reversal, and lo-and-behold, I received a nice $US cheque mid July for the 100 people I temporarily ended up with in my downline after the reversal. They do run a nice, professional outfit, taking care of newcomers, and do provide a nice introduction to online marketing. It's just not in my blood or budget to pay for training, tools and motivational stuff for too long. But at least you can join Revolution9 for fr3e.

Paid Email/Survey/Surf

Like many, I explored Get Paid programs as a way of generating some actual m0ney online, while I learnt how to market properly. If you pick the right ones, you can make m0ney even without a downline. Sometimes it just feels good knowing you are being paid for working. Although the people making hundreds each month generally do have large downlines. But you do have to treat it as a business. If you casually c1ick on the odd email they send you, it may take you a year in many cases, to cashout. But if you are serious, concentrate on building downlines early, visit their paid2c1ick sections, and accumulate points for advertising, it can be worth your while.

I joined Goldsalary, as they will actually pay you every day in e-gold, if your balance is over $0.01. It's fun seeing your e-gold account going up.

This months winners in the send-frequent-high-paying emails are Annies and AYS.

I've joined Mike's other program, ClixMonster. You may request payment when you have $75.00 in your account. With at least $5.00 in personal c1ick throughs. Much more achievable. And the emails lately have had so many 2 cent links, it's doing well.

If you are interested in earning some Shared Pr0fit thingummy's, you can join this program. Achieve More Freedom gifts an SRP when you redeem $7 in advertising with them. I have been working hard on the pay-to-c1ick section of the site, and am halfway there.

If you have a page that you think will get some decent traff1c, FastAdvert may be for you. They pay $1 per 1000 banner-impressions from your website. While other advertising networks often only pay for leads and sa1es, they continue to pay for impressions. So I have placed their banner at the bottom of my get-paid-to-read-email page, which I will advertise through startpages and paid-to-c1ick redemptions, hopefully generating some signups to my programs, while getting paid for displaying their banner. Sounds pretty good to me.
