Matthew Meyer's Internet Marketing Tips Blog

Well, I am still working on my big plan to take revolutionize the internet advertising world but in the meantime I am still selling these little safelist memberships that I started selling bout 6 years ago. Is it worth it to join my little safelist and send out your ads to the members? Well, I do not believe in hype I believe in facts. So I have put screenshots of the last two years of statistics. As of the writing of this post I have 3493 paid members in my safelist. It is important to note that ALL of these members paid to join this safelist. There are many safelists with more members but most of them are free members. Heck, I have over 110,000 members of The Free Ad Forum but these are not 110,000 buyers. I wish! So for $12. per year you can send your ad out to the entire database everyday. Keep in mind that members are constantly being added to the list and others are leaving. So it is a constantly changing list of buyers. Yes, let me say it again. All of these members have purchased something on the internet. A buyers lists is way more valuable than a freeebie seeker list. So does anybody see these ads? Here are the stats for both 2009 and 2008.

Notice that for 2009 over 57,000 people clicked on the credit links. There is both a regular mailer and by far more mail goes out with the regular mailer. So if 57,000 people clicked on the credit links more than double that clicked on regular links. But the important point is that people cannot click on any links unless they see your ad. People are viewing ads with Topsafelist.net. They also are all BUYERS. They paid for a membership. There is no free option with this safelist.

For me the first job of an advertising service is to get my ad before real buyers. Then it has to do so in a cost effective manner. Well this costs $12. per year. $1. per month. Dirt cheap actually. Obviously you are not going to get rich sending your ads daily to this safelist but for $12. you might get additional members to your newsletter who you can market to over and over again. (They are buyers remember? Have I made this point?) You could make some sales. You could get some people to link back to you. Bottom line your ads are going out, people are seeing them and it costs next to nothing. I think that Topsafelist.net is worth being in your arsenal of advertising tools. Especially if you are on a budget.

I realize this is not the sexiest topic. I could be writing about how I made millions through traffic arbritrage with ppv traffic (working on that.) But people keep joining, keep using and keep viewing ads sent out by this darn safelist. If you want to join Topsafelist.net you may do so here.

If you want us to set you up with your own website SELLING safelist memberships see my site Topsafelistbiz.com. Safelist memberships are easy to sell because everyone is looking for advertising for their business. Many marketers have found their first success online selling safelist memberships. See here to learn more about Topsafelistbiz.com. See here to view a tutorial on how I sold over 6000 safelist memberships. I still sell them almost everyday

In any case good luck and let me know what your experiences have been with safelists, even this one in the past.

Have you ever promoted a product or bought a product from Clickbank? If you have been around internet marketing any amount of time I am sure you are aware of Clickbank. Clickbank has a multi million dollar business based almost exclusively on selling ebooks. Amazon now has an ebook reader called “The Kindle.” It is one of their hottest items. Always sold out. The ebook business is hot and getting hotter. It is a great business too because when someone purchases an ebook it is almost 100% profit and it is delivered immediately online. You do not have shipping, printing or storage costs. I do not personally own any original ebooks but just by recommending a few in my newsletters occasionally I make an additional $300-$350. per week. The ebook business is a good business!

Craig Michael’s takes the total beginner and puts him in the ebook business with his club. You get 2 original ebooks each month written just for the club. These are not the same PLR products you see floating around Ebay these are quality ebooks written on hot topics that you can sell now. Included with the ebooks are beautiful websites with attractive graphics, pre written autoresponder letters for your email marketing campaigns, keywords for your ppc campaigns,and 10 keyword rich articles written specifically for each niche to post on social media for valuable backlinks.

In the support section Craig also provides easy to understand step by step video and written instructions on how to get your websites online and taking money in the absolute most cost effective way. He also shows you how to personalize your websites so they are “you.”

Included in your membership as well is a membership to another club,PLReBookClub.com which has thousands of PLR products in almost any niche imaginable. These additional PLR products are not exclusive as are the two original products your get each month but you could find creative uses for these such as giveaways for newsletters, material for blog posts, bonuses or ebook compilation products.

I believe Craig Michael’s PLRnicheclub could be a great stepping stone to creating your own original ebooks and selling them. Craig will teach you the ropes step and step and you take it from there. The ebook business is one of the best online businesses to get into.

As a special offer to my readers Craig is offering a $1. trial for 14 days then it is only $37. per month for the club after the 14 days. The normal price is $47. Considering that you are getting two unique ebooks businesses including websites each month the price is really nothing. It would cost you 10-20 times more than that to put this together yourself. For more information on Craig Michael’s PLRnicheclub see here.

Much Success!

I would like to hear comments from people who have had experience creating and selling their own ebooks or those of others as well. Please tell me your stories in the comments area. Thank you!

I just started this thread on both The Free Ad Forum and on The Warrior Forum. We have received some really interesting comments. The lesson that keeps recurring is that you must be persistent. Some people waited years for their first sale! The first sale you make online is usually the most exciting because it shows you that YOU can market online. It is one thing to listen to how others are being successful but often just experiencing a small success yourself makes all the difference between continuing marketing or giving up.

What was your first sale online? Please tell us. You can join in on the discussion on The Free Ad Forum here. To join the discussion on The Warrior Forum see here. Thank you!

Ok by now everyone has got their beat down from Google. We have been slapped, humiliated, kicked around but we are not down! Remember, it is our money that gave Google the power in the first place! So what to do if you cannot or you do not want to use Google Adwords? You might look immediately to another ppc model like Yahoo but why not think out of the box? Here are some creative ideas for Google Adwords alternatives.

Grab Google naturale by the cohones and make them list you. Yep, I am not talking about optimizing your page and praying timidly to the Google Gods to list you. No. Make them list you. Have your keyword, content rich, videos, blogs, social media, podcasts, rss feeds, answer sites, twitter and twitteresh services all screaming relevantly to Google to list you. Get Google in a headlock and scream “What’s my name?” in an Aliesque rage. Because your content is real and coming at them from hundreds of authority websites they is gonna have to list you.

Ok you say. “Sounds great but that will take me eons to get all that natural traffic.” Not anymore. I have been having success using a piece of software called ContentBuzz.

This is not some social media spam software. This baby helps you organize all the relevant video and social media sites so that you can easily sign up, confirm your email address and post your media. ContentBuzz is brilliant. It is way better than Traffic Geyser or any other similar type software that I have tried and it is cheaper. Only $29.97 per month with a 7 day free trial. It is under priced as I think ContentBuzz the best piece of marketing software I have every purchased.

Go ahead. I dare you. Type in “Google Adwords Alternative Pay Per View Traffic” in any search engine. I am everywhere. Last time I counted I had 9 of the top first page listing on Google. I have only been using the software for a few days and I have not used every feature.

Contentbuzz will put your videos and media everywhere on the internet without spamming. You will have to fill out some captcha forms, you will have to look at some sites individually. Where there is a one click solution they give it to you. Where there is not they organize the software to make if very easy for you to submit your media. Again, this is whitehat marketing. No spam. Spam will not last anyway. You want real content out there not a bunch of junk. This is long term SEO.

Contentbuzz will significantly help you dominate any niche. I believe an entrepreneurial type could make a small fortune doing SEO for local brick and mortar businesses. They need help and will pay big money for someone who can deliver. With this software you can.

Here is what ContentBuzz allows you to do:

Easily join and submit to:

* 50+ Video Hosting Sites
* 11 Additional Specialist “How-to” Video Sites
* 25 Top Social Bookmarking Sites
* 15 Social News Sites (some require Captchas)
* Twitter + 10 Micro-blogging Platforms
* 25 Photo Sharing/Blogging Platforms
* 10 Podcasting (Audio and Video) Directories
* 10 Top RSS Aggregators
* 25 Top Ping Services (Blog and RSS Search Engines)
* 7 Extremely High PR Blog Platforms (Blogger etc)

Using the Semi-Automated Social Link Builder, join and submit to:

* 117 Video Destinations
* 25 Social Bookmarking Sites
* 37 Blog/RSS Directories
* 45 Podcast Directories
* 100 Article Directories
* 45 Press-Release Sites
* 30 Question & Answer Sites
* 64 Feeder Sites (Squidoo, Quizilla etc)
* 28 Torrent Sites

I am doing it. It works. To learn more about ContentBuzz see here.

Do not be put off by their somewhat simple amateurish site. They do not have the slick presentation that Traffic Geyser does but they deliver far more. Most really good programmers are lousy web designers. I took a chance on this software knowing this and my instincts were correct. Funky website, killer program.

Get it. Work itl out and dominate your niche without paying the expensive pay per click fees. It works if you do!

2nd Kick Butt Google Adwords Alternative-Pay Per View Traffic

I have been having some luck with pay per view traffic. Basically pay per view traffic is spy ware gone legit. Pay per view networks have developed millions of users of free software or internet tools. The network I am working with at Realppvtraffic.com has over 5 million users. These users have agreed (usually many times) to receive keyword targeted advertising in exchange for using the free tools. When they search the internet on any search engine for say “cars.” If your ad has chosen the keyword cars your website will pop up right in front of them. You can target your traffic by keyword and country. It converts surprisingly well. Your full website is shown to the viewer not just an ad. This traffic is also way cheaper! You can get ppv traffic for as little as $.01 per view at my site Realppvtraffic.com. Yes, I own it and I will make money if you purchase traffic from this site. I hope you make money too! This traffic is much less expensive than the 30 cents to $5. per click you can pay with Google Adwords.

The only downside to ppv traffic that I see now is that it is not good for city local advertising. There simply are not enough users in the network in each city to get a significant local presence. But the good news is that it is way easier to dominate the local listings than worldwide listings in Google natural listings (See Adwords Alternative number 1.)

Do not forget about those folks down under. They are very good internet buyers. I have tested Yahoo Search Marketing US,UK and Australia for the exact same campaigns and keywords. I was very interested to see that the Australian traffic was cheaper and more importantly converting better than the US or UK traffic. I guess there is less competition in the marketplace. So if you have products and services that you can sell down under do not neglect this market. You even change what you are selling to accomodate the market. Sometimes I do this. We get so involved in trying to sell what we are selling we never think in just selling something else which works better. If Yahoo Search Marketing Australia works better than US or UK then lets find some stuff to sell those buyin’ Aussies!

As an American you have to set up a US account first and then ask permission for the other country accounts. It takes a few days but unlike Google they are pretty good with their communication and will deal with you like a real customer. How nice!

These are just a few creative alternatives to Google Adwords. I will be adding more. Please tell me about your favorite Google Adwords alternatives in the comments section. I would love to hear from you.

Thank you,

Matthew Meyer

Awhile back I did a review of Frank Kern’s Screw Google System. Basically he suggest using Yahoo Search Marketing as a pay per click traffic source. Frank gives a lot of real good tips in his course but Yahoo Search Marketing still costs about the same per click as Google. (Try Yahoo Austrailia though. There are some good deals there.) I have tested a source of traffic which is as good or almost as good a quality as Google Adwords and 1/100th the cost! You can get traffic for as little as 1 cent per view of your website. And it is quality keyword targeted traffic not junk traffic. Check out my video below and or my new site Realppvtraffic.com for more details. Thanks Matthew Meyer.

I am working on a full video review of Edwin Chia’s Secret Affiliate Weapon 2.0. Here is what you get with his package:

Secret Affiliate Weapon 2.0 is made up of 4 modules (PDF), 19 step-by-step videos, audio interview (90 minutes+) and the original Secret Affiliate Weapon 1.0 – all these for just $9.97.

Here is what he promises: “I’m going to show you my quick, easy, proven way to start making money online. You won’t get rich overnight (commit to yourself that you won’t fall for that junk ever again), but you can indeed see cash soon.

Even better, I’m going to show you how to set things up once and get paid over and over again, probably for years.”

I like the fact that he is not promising a get rich quick scheme. Internet marketing takes time and diligence but you indeed can make a great living from this profession if you pay your dues. Yeah, you heard me right. Pay your dues! How many internet marketing gurus tell you that you have to pay your dues!! LOL.

Nothing worthwhile is easy. If you are looking for easy money keep dreaming and play the lotto.

Basically Ewin Chia is going to teach you to promote other people’s products and earn a passive income. It will start slowly and build up.

I am in the process of reviewing his material and I will do a full video review on this blog. If any of you have purchased this product or his Secret Affiliate Weapon 1 I would very much appreciate your commments.

Thank you,

Matthew Meyer

But wait there is more! I almost forgot. You can view the sales page and purchase the course here. And, yes I will receive a commission if you purchase. Thank you FTC for helping us all be very clear. What would we do without you?

I just installed a wordpress plugin which is supposed to automatically post my wordpress blog posts to my facebook account. It is called Workbook. I will be testing it out over the next few days. You may download it for free here. If you have any experience using this plugin I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,

I have been using the Business World Safelist for the past few weeks with excellent success.

Basically, if you join the Pro Plus Version (which I recommend) you can send your ad out to over 90,000 members every other day.

I have been getting between 15-30 clicks on my links and even some sales activity each time I send out my ads. Considering the top membership is only $19.95 per month this is real quality inexpensive advertising. You can also join free but it is a better value to join the Pro plus version.

This is a real solid safelist offering real consistent results. There are no spam issues. The members all confirm opt in and all the emails are sent from their well maintained servers. Just compose your email and click send.

Being able to send out solo mailings every other day to over 90,000 confirmed opt in subscribers for only 19 bucks a month is really a great deal. You could easily pay $200 for just a one time blast to a list like this. I highly recommend the Business World service.

I believe this is a great service to add to your arsenal of advertising resources.

Please let me know what you think on my blog here. Also if you have used the service before I would be interested in hearing about your results.

Much Success,
