OK for those of you who don’t know what I’ve been doing, it’s pretty simple. I buy quite a few new products each month, see if they’re profitable, and if they are I outsource the whole thing and upscale it.

In the past week or so I’ve been testing out

‘Forcing The Click’ and

‘The Full Brain Method’

Both are ‘complete, stand alone systems’.

I’ve had some mixed results, but without a shadow of a doubt my returns should potentially BLOW my purchase expenses of less than $15 each out of the water. That’s IF they continue at the same rate.

I’m already in profit with one, and the other has been delayed due to a part of the system taking longer than the product owner suggests, but once that bit comes together we should be out of the starting gate.

Neither of these were what I’d describe as a mainstream launch.

The guys who use them aren’t major gurus, they’re just regular online entrepreneurs who have devised these income streams and are now sharing it (let’s be honest – selling it, and there’s nothing wrong with that) for anyone who can be bothered to put in a few hours work.

It’s not fair to reveal the exact methods since these are paid products but I’ve no problem with giving you an overview of what’s going on and how they worked out for me.

Both of these products are about marketing using YouTube videos.

That put me off a little at the start but the great thing is that you don’t have to make the videos yourself. Both products show you ways to get around this, for free or at very low cost.

I’m already starting to get traffic to one of my affiliate links after less than 4 days, and although I’ve only made one sale, it put’s me well in profit. The product cost around $14 and my commission pays just over $31

I’m not exactly going to buy a Bentley with that, but that’s NOT the point.

The big thing is that this profit and system comes from organic traffic from YouTube searches. And it can be upscaled and outsourced.

I’ve not used ANY of my lists or exiting traffic.

Here’s the overview.

Both products are based around leveraging the traffic from other Youtube videos, getting organic traffic through using similar (ahem!) tags and titles, although there are other things you need to do to get ranked well in the Youtube search engine.

Forcing The Click Suggests selling Amazon products as an affiliates, and The Full Brain Method (the one I’m in profit with) suggests selling Clickbank products. It does say that because it leverages massive search terms that ‘make money online’ products would be suiteable.

My own opinion is that make money online products sold through Clickbank have a very high refund rate these days, so I’ve stayed well away from that area.

Initially what surprised me about this is that you can dive right in there and go for some of the most competitive niches. No pratting around with keyword research, which suits me fine.

Results:

‘Forcing The Click’. I think there’s some great potential here but outsourcing the videos for $5 is taking longer than I expected, purely because of how the communication using Fiverr works.

But once done, I’m hoping to see some positive results. I will continue with this method IF the video outsourcing is possible. I hope it is, but we shall see.

‘The Full Brain Method’

Creating the vids can be done by outsourcing but it’s easier to make something yourself (make it short) with pics / voice over / powerpoint slides or the slightly feaky method of using text to voice software. I found some for free but eventually settled on using my own voice.

When I come to outsource, this will be done for me. But it only took a few minutes to record the vid.

I know it sounds weird about using text to speech software but the product owner gives the example of an actual Youtube video made in this way that’s converting really well.

My first video is less than 2 minutes long, and features just one or two still pics.

I can’t show a link to this video because I’d be giving away my niche and it would also make my results inaccurate. In the past when I’ve revealed some of my niche sites I’ve woken the next day to find 200 people have ‘borrowed’ my keywords, description, copy and sometimes even images.

So to keep this method unbiased I’m not being specific about what niche I’m in, other than to say it’s a very broad niche and very popular.

It’s a simple method sure enough but when you realise that Youtube is the second biggest search engine and it’s got nowhere near the competition of the main Google engine, then you can see how it’s definitely possible to compete in rabid niches without being stuffed by the competition.

The other thing I like about this (apart from that it’s outsourceable AND I’m already seing traffic to my aff links) is that it’s ongoing thing. The more a video remains on Youtube the more views it gets, or at least that’s how it looks to me.

So the results from The Full Brain Method:

Using The Full Brain method I’ve generated organic traffic from Youtube, followed the instructions for how to make sure my afiiate link is clickable and in plain view.

I’ve gone into the health and fitness niche for this method (he laughingly says holding a glass of wine) and although I’m used to niche marketing it still surprises me how most ‘normal’ people have no idea about affiliate links and so we don’t have to hide them too hard like many ‘Make Money Onliners’ obsess about. Refreshing.

Video clicks from organic searches: 26
Hoplink clicks (to my affiliate link): 4
Sales : 1 ($31.64)

Conversion rate 25% but figures currently too low to get a real idea.

I will be continuing with The Full Brain Method.

Tomorrow I’ll be uploading a blog post about how I’ve been getting on with the in-come stream techniques I bought earlier this month.

I’ll let you know when it’s up there.

In the meantime I’ve just bought the following product.

http://www.jobhaters.com/fast

It’s about generating fast cash in 24 to 48 hours online.

Don’t let the hypey subject put you off, it’s not hypey at all (although the page graphics look like they were done by a 1960’s horror film fan)

I’ve just got inside the content area as I write this and I’m very impressed with the quantity of material here.

Not least the set of vids that get you into the correct ‘head state’ to move forward quickly.

I really do think this is excellent value.

We’re talking 22 high quality videos plus some of the best bonuses I’ve seen, at a price that made this an instant additional to my in-come stream portfolio.

You can get more info by clicking the link below and watching the fr-ee video.

Picture the scene.

This morning.

I’ve just woken up and I’m still in bed trying to get my eyes to focus.

I decide to check my email on my iphone and see an email from Paypal.

At first I thought it could have been a phishing scam but then saw it was addressed to me by name AND they weren’t asking me to click any links.

As I skimmed the email three words hit me:

‘limit your account’

‘Oh dear’ (or similar-ish words) I said.

I wandered down to my workroom and logged into the Paypal account.

Bugger. It WAS real.

Instead of the usual balance summary I was looking at a big red box with words such as ‘limit your account’, ‘confirm your account’ and ‘collect further information’

Well at least they’d given me a few weeks to come up with the information.

I use other methods of processing payments so getting my PP account pulled isn’t life and death but it’s bloody inconvenient for sure.

Especially because of the way the business is set up and the fact that employees have access to my Paypal account too.

Anyway I had to verify a shedload of stuff for me, the business and for my staff who have access.

And it was done in about an hour.

A little later I got a Skype message through, and guess what? Seems it wasn’t just me that PP were targetting today.

Anyway it prompted me to buy this product – ‘How To MINIMIZE THE RISK of Paypal

Account Problems And Get On The GOOD SIDE Of Paypal!’

And I’m recommending it because I think it’s something every person who runs a Paypal account should know.

Once you get limited it’s too late.

I’m also now pretty sure why they requested the information they did, and I reckon I could have easily avoided it – thanks to this product.

More worryingly was a technique that I use on some of my sites that is totally against PP terms and conditions. It can get your account pulled.

I’ve now very hastily rectified this and won’t be doing it again.

There are also a couple of logging in thigs that I do on a regualr basis and that I’ve stopped right now because I’m told it ‘flags’ up as ‘unusual activity’

There’s way too much to go into here but it was a very wise investment for sure. I can see why a lot of people get their accounts pulled, frozen or are limited.

You can get a copy of this product by clicking on the link below.

My advice would be to get it, read it, and keep it handy.

It’s too late when the ‘dreaded email’ arrives. Better to prevent it arriving in the first place.

We’ve just launched our MobiNiche Theme at a price that makes it a must-buy if you work with offline clients, sell any niche product, or you can see that the mobile internet market is poised to go through the roof.

You might think that browsing the internet on your mobile device was already established, and you’d be 100% right.

But very few websites are configured to be mobile-friendly.

Look at the screenshot shot below. The iphone version is horrible, and I reckon most people would simply leave. Resulting in a potential lost sale or opt-in.

So our MobiNiche theme is cleverly designed to look great on both computer browsers and iphones. We chose the iPhone as one of the most popular mobile browsing tools. The MobiNiche theme works on all versions on the iPhone

Not only that, but we’ve built in some very nice features that come into play when the site recognises it’s being viewed from an iphone.

Look at the tilt capabilities.

We’ve also included a double tap facility that allows the iphone user to double tap anywhere on the site and be instantly zoomed in to that section – the post content, the side bar, the optin-box (which makes it ultra-easy for iphone browsers to opt-in and join your list)

And of course you get all the usual customizable theme stuff such as headers, colours, menu bar etc.

The MobiNiche theme is:

1. Specifically created to work with the iPhone
because it’s the most popular smart phone on the
market.

2. It displays a full screen version of your site
and works vertically or horizontally.

3. You can also double tap the various sections and
the theme will zoom in correctly. (Also makes
opting into squeeze pages ultra-easy on an iphone)

4. Looks great in any PC or Mac Browser. Looks
Fabulous On Any iPhone

You get get yourself a copy by clicking on the link below.

We’ve deliberately made it affordable so the people who need it most can have access too.

Comments welcome as always

This is the Crow, or a Raven or Rook that’s been sitting on our doorstep tapping his beak and flying against the glass for the past four hours now.

I’m no expert but he looks like a young ‘un to me, and from watching him move around I’d say he’s got a damaged wing.

For the past two days the tree in our neighbour’s garden has been occupied by a dozen or more Crows (or whatever they are), and we reckon they’re trying to form a rookery or something.

I’m resisting the urge to Google it at the moment just to sound like an expert.

We see the same thing in the graveyard next to the village church. Tall brooding trees full of Crows (is it called a Parliament of Crows?) all making the same creepy, abrasive, wonderful noise.

It’s getting noisy round here too at the moment and with this little chap obviously trying to get into the house it’s like a scene from ‘The Omen’ film.

My wife said we should do something.

‘We’ meaning ME of course. So I did.

I opened a bottle of wine, poured us both a glass and had a think for a bit.

There’s nothing I can do for him. If we let him into the house he’ll just flap round shitting everywhere and wake up the kids. Or my screaming would.

We got a bat in the house once and that was traumatic enough. I phoned the Bat Conservation Trust (you thought English people weren’t really eccentric?)

They said ‘they have sonar and will never fly into your face or hair’

My arse they don’t! I watched my wife’s friend go from a gentle, caring woman who loves all animals to a cursing, leaping monster whacking at her own head with a walking boot trying to dislodge the bat tangled in her hair.

It eventually bit and scratched it’s way to freedom and I threw a towel over it and released it gently into the night.

We used the same towel to mop up the blood from the floor. The rabies shot the day after didn’t help her love for bats either.

Anyway….back to our Crow.

My decision was to do nothing and ‘see what happens’. It’s what the RSPCA say to do anyway.

Tomorrow morning he’ll either be dead or waking us up crowing with his mates. I hope it’s the noisy option.

We’ve lived in the country long enough not to be romantic about wild animals though. The first time I saw a fox ripping a chicken to pieces just a few yards from my feet stopped any Disney notions I might have about nature.

But I like the way nature sometimes just ‘waits to see what happens’

The Crow with the bad wing outside isn’t like Tom Hanks in that crappy ‘Castaway’ movie, planning his escape or trying to make the best of his situation…

No, our crow is just waiting to see what happens.

Unfortunately if a cat or a fox comes in the night I think he’s a gonner.

If he’s only hurt his wing not damaged it, he might just be OK to fly back to his mates tomorrow.

He’s just waiting to see.

And that’s often the best thing I can do with my own business.

Wait and see what happens.

We’re told quite a lot that it’s good to be proacative, and it is. But sometimes (I think) it’s also good to get away from your computer for a while and see how your business goes on it’s own.

You know the way a car pulls to the right or left when you take your hands off the wheel?

Well if you leave your business alone for a couple of weeks and do nothing to it, you’ll get a pretty good idea of what stage you’re at.

For example if you continue to make sales on autopilot you’re doing something right.

If your list continues to grow then your squeeze pages and traffic generation methods obviously work.

But if nothing happens. No sales and no opt-ins then the chances are that that when you DO work on your business you’re focusing on the WRONG things.

Instead of doing whatever day to day tasks you were doing, you might be better off working on implementing systems that run themselves when you take your hands off the wheel.

A really quick example would be recruiting new optins as affiliates. So that they then send you more traffic which in turn generates sales and optins, which you then recruit as affiliates….

And on and on.

Sometimes doing nothing can be good for your business.

It’s something I do on a regular basis.

Consider taking your hands off the wheel for a while and watching what happens.

Comments on crows, business or bats welcome 🙂

EDIT: Good News. As of 10.17am this morning our bird flapped it’s wings a few times and flew onto the roof. He waited there for a while then flew off into the trees. He seemed fine.

There’s a comment crept onto the blog below about my attitude to animals (and birds) that might be considered offensive. I had my finger over the delete button but I very very rarely delete blog comments unless they’re spammy. So I left this one in, as a celebration of the fact that people are all very different 🙂

As with all my opinions – they’re just that. Mine. I’m probably one of the luckiest internet marketers around in that most people who find their way to comment on this blog are open minded, intelligent and have their own carefully formulated opinions. Thanks guys.

As always I stand by my point of view and opinions.
