The big problem is that a lot of folks don’t use blogs properly. There was a time where you could have thrown up a simple Blogger blog, write a couple short articles, put up some Google AdSense ads, attract some web traffic, and then watch the money roll in.

That doesn’t work any longer.

Sure, you might make enough to pay for a few beers, but it’s not going to put a roof over your head. The good news is that blogs are still extremely lucrative and can put thousands of dollars into your pocket every single month – if you know what you’re doing.

The premier blogging tool, hands down, is Wordpress. It’s free, works well, and is easy to use. The only requirement is that you have a hosting account such as BlueHost (who we use to host our websites and recommended) to host your website. In your hosting account control panel, you can automatically install Wordpress on your website in less than a minute by using Fantastico or Simple Scripts.

However, the key to making real money with blogs is to get creative. Yes, it’s a huge cliché…but you have to think out of the box. That’s why I use these 6 simple profit machines to maximize my income potential with Wordpress…feel free to steal them and build your own blogging empire:

Profit Machine #1: Authority Sites

Setting up simple Niche Authority Sites is one of the easiest ways to start making a profit online, but it’s also the most time consuming. I wrote out an extensive step-by-step guide to building your first simple blog in a post I made over a year ago: Make Money Online – Step-By-Step Method

Note: If you have no money to your name, you can use a Blogger blog to build your first authority site (as I recommend in the above guide), but I do recommend upgrading to Wordpress as soon as possible. It is far more customizable and offers you more opportunity to expand. Wordpress also provides a free blogs via their website, but you want the self-hosted option so you can upload your own themes and plugins.

It takes serious commitment to start one of these and stick to it – and you won’t see any immediate returns. However, if you post daily for 2 to 3 months, have a professional design and monetize it properly, you’ll be light years ahead of competing websites and you will able to pull in at least a few hundred dollars per month.

The real trick to becoming an authority site (rather than a boring “blog”) is to either position your company, your brand or yourself as an expert. This is a big stumbling block for a lot of people – most feel like they’re not an expert in any particular area. That’s simply not true. When I asked my Dad if he was an expert in anything, he said no…but that’s definitely not the case. He’s a perfect example…

My Dad spent 30+ years as a police officer and learned some extremely valuable skills that you wouldn’t expect. One of them was the ability to write grants that generated millions of dollars for equipment and additional personnel for his department. His success rate was incredibly high – over 90% of the grants he submitted were approved. That’s unheard of and it’s a skill that companies, organizations and individuals would pay thousands of dollars to learn. Starting an authority site about grants would be perfect for him.

You really need to think about your experiences and your interests. Even if you truly don’t feel like an expert on a topic, you can do research to become one. Spend an afternoon learning the basic “rules” of your niche and you’ll know more than 80%+ of the population, and that qualifies you as an expert.

Once you’ve established a topic for your authority site, spend some time doing research on the types of phrases people are searching for using a free tool such as Google’s Keyword Tool or a premium tool such as Micro Niche Finder. (MNF is highly recommended – it makes it very easy for you to find profitable long-tail keywords and to quickly assess your competition.)

Once you’ve found several keyword phrases that people are searching for, you focus your site’s content around those keywords and post to it daily. You build momentum for your new website by talking about your authority site on other blogs and niche forums, then offer to be a guest blogger for other popular blogs.

The potential with an authority blog alone is extremely high. It’s a very flexible model that can be expanded almost indefinitely, but it’s just one way to make money with blogs. Here’s a method that’s a little less conventional…

Profit Machine #2: Niche Storefronts

A lot of people don’t know that you can actually setup an entire online store using Wordpress. Whether you want to sell items directly from your blog, or appear as a third-party store and simply refer customers to Amazon as an affiliate, Wordpress can help you establish these profit machines easily.

There are a couple of different ways you can do it…

a.) You can download a theme that converts your blog into a storefront. Some of these themes are fairly advanced and require a fee to download, but you may be able to find some for free. Once you have your website established, you can use Paypal to accept payments. Some of the more advanced themes even have an “Add to Cart” feature built in.

b.) You can download a plugin that automatically pulls in products from websites such as Amazon or eBay. These plugins can automatically include a picture and short description from those sites, integrated with your affiliate link. There are free and premium options for these types of plugins, but the premium options typically provide more options and flexibility.

If you decide to establish a store, you will want to make sure that you add some unique content (as the content you add will be from Amazon or eBay and won’t boost your search engine rankings) and also implement a professional design. This is effectively a type of authority site, but you will providing direct links to products or services rather than information. It’s harder to get traffic to these types of sites, but the quality of customers is often higher as they’re looking to buy a particular type of product.

Profit Machine #3: Membership Sites

Membership sites are a tried-and-true method for generating long-term cash. There’s so much to say about memberships that we created an entire course called Membership Blueprints. With that said, using Wordpress to power and protect a membership site is a very smart way to go.

In fact, we use Wordpress for our Simple Cash Blog Membership, our most popular resource. It’s extremely easy for anyone to do. First, install Wordpress in the location you want your member’s area. For example, you’ll want to install Wordpress in a location such as: http://yourdomain.com/members/

After you’ve installed it, you simply need to password protect either individual posts or the entire member’s area. For the Simple Cash Blog, we password protected the entire member’s directory in under 2 minutes using a tool called the Instant Membership Site Creator, which we sell for less than $20. If you want to password protect individual posts or provide different levels of access, you can use a plugin such as s2Member.

The best part about using Wordpress for a membership site is that you can actually create content for the membership site in advance and schedule it to be posted at a future date. Your membership site could have a full year’s worth of content in queue without you ever having to touch it. (Of course, this might not be possible depending on the type of membership or the support you need to provide.)

The toughest part of the membership creation process is that you need to write an extremely powerful sales letter and provide “addictive” videos, articles and resources to your members. It’s significantly harder to get someone to subscribe to a $99 per month membership than to purchase a $99 product. Plus, if your content isn’t compelling enough, people will drop out. It happens all the time and some folks will even drop out immediately after joining.

The key for the membership site model is to provide an ongoing service or educational material to a very specific market, and to expose your membership to as many of those people as possible by partnering with others, advertising, article marketing and more.

Profit Machine #4: Local Businesses

This is a rapidly growing opportunity that nearly every internet marketer can take advantage of. Most small, local businesses do not have a website, but most are rapidly realizing that they need to have one. It adds an immense amount of professionalism to a business if they have a well-designed website, and younger generations use internet search as their first resource to find out reviews or more information about a business.

As a 23 year old living in Toronto, I can tell you that I have only tried out new restaurants if I was able to read their menu online. There is a fantastic fish and chips restaurant 5 minutes down the road that I would have never found if they did not have a website. The website wasn’t even that fancy – it was simply professional enough that it gave me confidence that it was a good business.

The potential here is HUGE. There are a nearly endless list of services you can provide to offline businesses…

* Setup their site using Wordpress, then design it using a related theme (there are a lot of great themes available for restaurants, professional firms, and much more.)

* Charge a yearly fee to host their domain and website for them

* Sell them on Search Engine Optimization services – it’s extremely easy to rank for search terms in small towns

* Charge a monthly fee to update their website for them as needed – news, updates, new products or services and more.

* Charge firms to update their website design or ways to make money directly from their website

* Charge businesses for the ability to sell products directly via their site or to accept online ordering

That’s really just the tip of the iceberg. It’s easy to sell these types of services to small businesses. Provide a guarantee and legitimate recommendations to improve their business and you’ll be able to find a lot of customers who are willing to pay for monthly services.

Wordpress is an extremely powerful tool, but you have to remember that it’s only a tool – you need to think out of the box and apply the techniques above to create a profitable website that produces residual income for months and years to come.

John just made this video for everyone earlier today…I watched it and was impressed. John clearly lays out why you should be investing high amounts of your profits into growing your business.

Go watch the free video, How To Grow Your Internet Marketing Business Like A Guru.

John talks about this in the video, but I just want to stress it as well…

It’s absolutely imperative that you are constantly taking action and growing your business. Businesses cannot grow without your help at it’s early stages…and that’s why you must start to invest now.

You’re either growing or you’re dying. What will you decide?

Your investments will most likely pay off tenfold over the next several years if you invest in content and other materials that will increase your bottom line.

Don’t spend another minute waiting…take your business to the next level. John’s video will show you how to do it for free:

Grow Your Internet Marketing Business Like A Guru

He made the point that it’s actually pretty easy to make a few hundred bucks per month online. But, it’s much harder to make thousands per month. Much, much harder. I agreed with his points but something else has been bugging me…

There are many people, perhaps you, who can’t get started due to technical issues. There are many people who just decide to give up before they even start — before they even make their first $1 online.

I’ve been thinking about why this happens. And, I’ve done some research for you about this:

“What stops people from setting up an online business?”

Rather than just go with my gut or based on a hunch, I really started looking at the data The Rhodes Brothers have. It’s really amazing stuff.

Before I reveal my findings let me say this…

Many folks reading this blog posting own one of our products. In fact, you might own several of them. I am proud of what we’ve accomplished. But more importantly, I’m proud that our techniques and tactics have made some of you a lot of money.

In any case, we get a lot of excellent feedback from our clients and customers. I read this feedback very closely. I tell my brother (Matt) to forward all emails to me when customers are talking to us. It doesn’t matter if the feedback is good or bad, I want it.

Well, I’ve kept all of these emails, and I’ve done some informal surveys with our customers and close business partners. One thing keeps coming up again and again. Let me share it with you…

There is a huge gap between what we offer and what it takes to set up an online business. Yes, we do offer some outstanding strategies. Our material is excellent and the feedback is 99% positive. (You can’t make everyone happy.) But, there’s still a big gap…

The “huge gap” is TECHNOLOGY.

Note: I grilled our close business partners (other guys making over $100K per year) and they totally agreed. Technology is stopping people.

Setting up an internet business requires more than time and money. It requires technical expertise.

Now, hold on. I do strongly feel that our products and services are comprehensive, and even complete. Is it possible that I missed the boat? It is possible we’re leaving people in the dust?

Well, not really.

But the truth is that The Rhodes Brothers have built several online businesses. I’m kind of shocked about this but we kind of find it easy to set up entire online business systems over a weekend. So, when we talk about a marketing system we kind of just skim over the technical details.

I think back to when we started. Wow, it really was difficult setting up all the pieces in exactly the right order. It really wasn’t easy when I first started. It took time and effort. It was an investment.

The specifics of setting up blogs and cash pulling web sites is pretty much second nature to me now. I have the experience. So, stuff like domain names, hosting, DNS, email, squeeze pages… My brother and I just blast right through it now. No problem!

The more I think about it, the more I remember how insanely frustrating it was when I first tried setting up my first couple of business systems online. I had no clue what I was doing and it was painful.

• I beat my head against the wall.
• I hired programmers who soaked me for hundreds of dollars.
• I bought software I couldn’t understand, and books I couldn’t lift with both hands.
• I beat my head against the wall again… and AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

So, I want to be clear. I know you’re having a tough time. It’s painful and I know it.

That’s exactly why I started putting together a “Set Up Your Online Business” video series. I had a great outline and I was ready to shoot all the videos.

But just 2 days before I started putting those vidoes together for you, I met Erik Stafford. Everything changed…

He has discovered a way to completely eliminate the technical pain. The scary technical stuff couldn’t be easier. He’s made it “paint-by-numbers” simple. I love it.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started today — you will be amazed at how Erik cuts through the fluff. You’ll be on the path to online profits in just minutes.

That’s what really matters. Picture $487 coming into your PayPal account this weekend simply because you FINALLY got your web site up and running with Erik’s help. Feels good, doesn’t it!

If you’re excited, I don’t blame you. This is the kind of thing that can transform your life. When the technology is easy — even second nature — money can finally pour into your bank account.

(Often on autopilot.)

Here’s exactly what you need to do right now…

Simply start with Session #1 and move through each step at your own pace — and don’t be shocked if you have your website running in a day or two. (His stuff is that good.)

Set Up Your Online Business

I strongly encourage you to check it out because it will end your technical headaches.

Cheers,

~ John

p.s. Erik gives you 15 minutes of technical training free. There’s literally no obligation. Put away your credit card. Take a deep breath. Eliminate the technical issues with your online business … today.

p.p.s. By the way, I did some quick calculations just a minute ago. If I had Erik’s training 3 years ago, I would have saved myself over $12,000 of technical pain.

It just doesn’t work that way.

But, you CAN make money online now and build a long-term business at the same time, if you’re smart about it and you have the right skillset. First, we need to figure out what kind of marketable skills you have. Here are some ideas…

1.) Do you have a knack for programming? You can go to eLance or Guru.com and find jobs appropriate for you.

2.) Are you a graphics designer? Start advertising your services using Google Adwords and the Warrior Forum. People need new graphics all the time.

3.) Can you write well? With just a little bit of practice and experience, you can charge $10 to $20 for a 400 to 500 word article. Start off by pricing your articles low, and then move up the chain as you get more and more testimonials and experience.

4.) Do you have a lot of connections to “important people?” Find people who are having problems or need a service, and then connect them to the people you know. Charge a royalty!

5.) Do you know how to build websites? Build websites for local businesses, or even setup simple blogs using Blogger.

6.) Does a local business need help moving inventory? Become a salesperson and sell it on eBay for them. (Become a consignment expert!)

There are a number of ways to get started and make money online now, but they *do* require a little bit of work on your part. If you want to build a long term business, though, you have the opportunity to earn between $2,000 to $6,000 per month in your part time.

When trying to create traffic to their websites, a lot of people fail to look at the bigger picture. You can keep each piece of your traffic system simple, but when they combine, you have an EXTREMELY deadly force.

Let me show you a traffic strategy we have in place for one of our websites. It should give you some context what we’re talking about when we say “strategic internet marketing”…

We have FreeBusinessModel.com, which is a reverse squeeze page. We deliver a high quality video on the front-end which “hooks” in our visitors and convinces them to enter their name and e-mail address to watch a second video.

After they watch our second video, they are redirected to SimpleCashBlog.com, our $27 per month membership that gives away a wealth of business models. So, we immediately have the potential to make money from the traffic that we drive to FreeBusinessModel.com.

That means we can spend more money investing in driving traffic to that funnel. So, we hire out people to write articles and create videos for us, linking to FreeBusinessModel.com, and also advertise that site.

Cool, right?

Well, that’s not even the half of it. Here’s where it gets really good…

After someone opts in to our lists from watching the free video on FreeBusinessModel.com, we then send messages to them promoting not only Simple Cash Blog, BUT…

The ability to promote FreeBusinessModel.com and make money online from it. If you’re not following, we have an affiliate program built in to FreeBusinessModel.com, which means everytime that someone sends traffic to that site with an affiliate link that they create, they make a monthly commission from Simple Cash Blog (70% of the sale, to be exact.)

So, the more people that watch the videos at FreeBusinessModel.com and opt-in, the more traffic we get going to that site.

Are you following? — IT GROWS ITSELF!

Now *that* is strategic internet marketing. It’s not complicated to setup, it’s a bunch of extremely basic “building blocks” combined together to make one seriously kick-ass system.

That system will continue to churn money for us for years. We won’t be able to stop it even if we wanted to.

So, do you “do” strategic internet marketing like us? All it takes is a good idea and a few minutes of combining a few simple systems and you could have all of the traffic and cash flowing in that you can handle.

Check out FreeBusinessModel.com and see how our system works for yourself…

Unfortunately, there is not one “best internet marketing affiliate program” for a simple reason. Every person is different. We all have different skills and interests. Furthermore, some people will see opportunity where others see problems and issues.

So, allow me to narrow your focus a little bit. I’m going to assume that you’re interested in promoting products and services related specifically to internet marketing. So, I’ll assume you’re ready to promote products about article marketing, driving traffic, creating backlinks, dominating Google, using private label rights, and so forth.

If I’m correct then please keep reading. I’m going to point you to 15 different internet marketing products to help you make money online. I strongly encourage you to visit the IMsimple.com (Rhodes Brothers) affiliate marketing site:

Become an Affiliate of the Rhodes Brothers (15 unique products!)

On that page you’ll see how you can easily promote these products:

• Crush, Kill and Destroy: EzineArticles Domination
• EzineArticles Domination Part 2: Bio Box Domination
• IMsimple.com Content Generation System

So, even if you normally have a hard time finding affiliate marketing programs, you now have a great source by the Rhodes Brothers.

Keep in mind that you can focus on one affiliate product at a time. You don’t have to try to sell all of them at once. In fact, we strongly recommend that you do focus.

Hint: See the 10x Method

Although there isn’t a perfect affiliate program, there are some that we really like. I’m going to point you to two examples that are really fantastic. But first, I want to explain why they are great.

I love pointing people to free videos. As an internet marketer, there’s nothing better than giving out free stuff; free ebooks, free reports, and free videos.

If YOU want to hand out a link to a free video with an incredible backend, then you have to take a look at the 10x Method affiliate program. Not only do you get great affiliate help materials (keywords, banners, email message), you just need to create your affiliate link and give it away. When people visit your link, they see a video and they are “tagged” with your affiliate ID. It’s beautiful.

By the way, with the 10x Method affiliate program you get an astounding 100% commission on a $47 product. There’s nothing like this on the internet. (We’ve been told we’re “insane” to offer this.)

Hint: See the 10x Method Reviews blog posting right now!

I have another online business opportunity for you, if you’re ready. I promised to deliver, and that’s what I plan to do!

I love residual income affiliate programs. What does that mean exactly?

In plain English, it means that you sell access to membership sites for other people. When those members sign up, you make money instantly but also every single month they stay with the membership program. This is true residual cash as an affiliate.

The Rhodes Brothers run the Simple Cash Blog which is the best (private!) internet marketing membership available. Nothing is better.

The good news is that you can sell access to the Simple Cash Blog as an affiliate. All you do is create an affiliate sales link and you can make money with this affiliate program. Just hand out that link and you’re all set.

Important: Affiliates make money on autopilot after members subscribe. Sell just once but generate income every single month. I really love residual income affiliate programs!

So there you have it. 15 products you can promote right now. Plus, now you know how to give away videos to make money as an affiliate. You just learned about generating income by selling access to a membership too.

If you need help with our internet marketing affiliate programs, just ask.

STOP!

Asusming you made it past my first paragraph, I’m pretty sure the the word “STOP!” above caught your attention. It’s an attention-grabbing word.

But, what does “attention” really mean? It’s kind of hard to understand in theory, but in practive it’s easy to grasp. Let’s poke at it because it’s important in internet marketing.

Psychology textbooks will tell you that attention is a cognitive process where you concentrate on one thing while excluding everything else. The key principle is that you focus; everything else is noise.

[Ed. Note: Speaking of focus, have you watched the 10x Method video?]

The problem with attention is that, while we know how to manipulate it and disrupt it, we don’t understand it well. We even know how to help people maintain attention but we can’t explain it every well. For example, is it possible to pay attention to two things or not? The research isn’t conclusive.

Fortunately, we can ignore theory. What matters is what we can do in practice. What matters is that we can use attention to help customers solve problems and help businesses make money.

WARNING!

Once again I’ve grabbed your attention, right? Good copywriters know how to grab your attention. In most cases this is done with words. Yes, you can grab attention with images and sounds, but I’m going to ignore that for now. Let’s just keep it simple and take a look at 12 power words:

* Free
* Bonus
* Discount
* Famous
* Gift
* Best
* Instant
* Lucky
* New
* Secret
* Rare
* Secure

Note: Copywriters use a few hundred power words. This is a small list to get you thinking. Don’t limit yourself.

So, these power words are powerful exactly because they grab your attention. Obvioiusly you cannot use the A.I.D.A. model unless you first grab attention.

So, why not use power words again and again? It’s a smart question.

The reason is that if you use too many power words you ruin the salescopy. It’s like using too much garlic in your pasta sauce. Too much of a good thing ruins the batch.

The reason is that humans become “immune” to power words in a very short time. Attention can be grabbed using power words but you cannot maintain attention with power words alone. You need other tools for that.

The second part of A.I.D.A. is interest, which I’ll talk about in a future posting. For now, just recognize that there is real value in understanding power words to capture attention. And, you cannot use the A.I.D.A. model unless you grasp attention.

Just a couple of days ago I went looking for all of Kevin’s information products and reports. I could only find a few with each search that I did. So, I decided to create a list of every single product from Kevin Riley and post it here for you.

I’ve also added a rating next to each product based on my own experience. I haven’t bought all of his stuff, so I’ll just say “N/A” next to those. I’m sure they’re fine, but I can’t give you my recommendation.

By the way, keep in mind that you can easily apply the 10x Method to Kevin Riley’s products. Find something that works for you then make a killing online.

I know why you aren’t making money online: You can’t focus on one thing at a time.

You cannot keep your attention on just one thing. Maybe you feel like you’re missing out on the Next Big Thing. Maybe you’re confused about what you need to do, or where to start. Maybe you don’t have the right right goals and objectives.

But ultimately, you aren’t focused. You’re not 100% heads down. You’re not dedicated to one thing.

DO YOU NEED HELP RIGHT NOW?

With the help of my brother, I created a video that explains The 10x Method. It’s 100% free and there aren’t strings attached.

It’s all about focus…

And, if you want more free information, you can sign up for our 10x Newsletter. We give you a free guide when you do that. Again, there aren’t any strings attached.

Yes, we do offer up a full-blown report but you do NOT have to buy it. There’s zero pressure. I mean that.

So, if you just can’t focus and if you can’t make money online, then please watch The 10x Method video.

CURIOUS ANIMALS

Humans like to try new things. We all like new experiences. The problem is that if you float from one thing to the next you can’t make money online, let alone build a business. It’s the focus and dedication that make it all work.

But there is a solution…

If you’re anything like me you keep doing things that are rewarding. This is how humans operate. When we’re rewarded we just keep pushing forward.

You can use this to your advantage to make money and start your online business. It works like this –

1. Find something that works; get some cash flowing
2. Do that “something” again and again

Now, if you can’t find something that works then here’s my advice: Move on! Most people will tell you to “keep working at it!” but I’m telling you the opposite. GIVE UP!

Feels good to give up, doesn’t it. That’s because the monkey is off your back. You’re free!

KNOW WHEN TO QUIT

To succeed you must know when you’ve failed. But, one failure is trivial. It means nothing. All you need to do is follow your instincts. Quit and float around more. Flutter around like a little butterfly in the wind.

When you land, give that new “something” a try. If you don’t make money and you’re not happy: GIVE UP!

However — this is important! — if you do succeed, then keep focused. If you pull down any cash, just keep going. If not, acknowledge that you lost one battle but that there are many others to fight.

Fortunately, this is much easier than it sounds. You won’t be tempted to keep floating around because the cash is flowing. You’re rewarded. Maybe you found a great affiliate program. Maybe you’re now freelancing. Maybe you’re great at selling PLR products.

It doesn’t matter what works for “them” — what matters is what works for you. Float, float, float. When you finally find the right thing, then focus. And, be richly rewarded. Be happy because you’ve found your way home.

THE FREE 10x VIDEO

The 10x Method video explains all of this in a lot more. If you feel lost or overwhelmed then you owe it to yourself to watch the video.

Float over to it now…

All the best,

~ John S. Rhodes of “The Rhodes Brothers”

If you don’t believe me, take a look at the Free Business Model video. In that free video, you’ll find out that it doesn’t take more than a PayPal account and an autoresponder.

That’s right…

You can fill up an autoresponder then sell access to your high quality emails. The reason is that people are willing to pay for good information. It doesn’t matter if it comes from a blog or via email. All that matters is that the information flows.

Now, if you want something a bit more sophisticated, you can buy the very affordable Instant Membership Site Creator.

If you want to easily create a memberhship site, it’s a no brainer. You can password protect pages, create a simple signup form, automatically create unique user IDs and passwords, and even build up your list. The Instant Membership Site Creator makes it deadly simple.

So, those are two simple ways to create membership web sites. It really isn’t that hard. Even if you’re just getting started in internet marketing, it can be pretty easy. And imagine how much money you can pull in from members outside of internet marketing. It’s really quite easy.

Here are a few example membership web sites to get your creative juices flowing:

• The Simple Cash Blog
• The Simple PLR Club
• Instant Cash Generators
• PLR Newsletters

By the way, after you create a membership site, you can create affiliates out of thin air. Well, not literally, but you can really get some folks excited since memberships offer residual income. Affiliates love that.

Here’s the Simple Cash Blog affiliate program as an example for you. The beauty of this affiliate program is that you don’t have to sell anything. You just sign up and then send people to a totally free video. The conversions on this are obviously huge. Everyone wins.

So, if you’re thinking about creating a membership site, you know exactly what to expect. It’s all about having the right information. It doesn’t have to be hard. And, it should certainly fill your pockets with cash.

In this blog entry I’ll talk to you about PLR so that you fully understand it, from many angles. I’ll do this by pointing you to some resources available online that are easy to read and understand.

A friend of mine (Steven Wagenheim) has written extensively about PLR in the last few weeks and he knows what he’s talking about. I think you will enjoy many of the things that he says. He blows the doors wide open.

One of the first things about PLR, is that it can be used to create websites very rapidly. The reason isn’t because the writing has been done for you, it’s because the research has been done for you. It’s this research that really saves you time, not the writing. This research is the gold.

On another topic, if you just take PLR and put it into a blog or website, Google will penalize you. You’ll never make it into their index or you’ll be buried in the supplemental results. So you can’t just take PLR and use it without some rewriting.

But remember, it’s not the writing or the content that saves you time. You do indeed have to re-write. The timesaver, is that the research for the topic you care about is done. Research takes a ton of time. Hours and hours. With PLR, someone else has done that for you. And, PLR is often very affordable. Rock on!

Keep this in mind too: if someone has done the research for you, you are pretty much an instant expert once you read the material. The niche can be very new, but you don’t need to know the topic very well in order to benefit from what you have read. The truth is rewriting good PLR is how you can rapidly make money online.

By the way, rewriting PLR is quite simple once you know the simple techniques. Yes, there are methods you can use to dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to rewrite POR. Methods in fact, that make it so that you can rewrite a PLR article in less than seven minutes. It’s true.

The ability to rewrite PLR in less than seven minutes depends on the quality of the PLR. So, it’s not possible to rewrite a junk article in less than seven minutes. However if you purchase rock solid PLR to begin with, you’ll be golden. Re-writing PLR in very little time is easy.

I’ll end this blog entry with a pointer off to Stephen Wagenheim’s video called the Real Truth About Making Money Online with PLR. He explains many of the points that I’ve made above. However, he adds a real human element to the things that I throw at you. I strongly encourage you to watch the video where he explains exactly why PLR is so powerful. Take a look now.

First, we set up a very powerful membership site. In this case, I’m talking about the Simple Cash Blog. If you look at the sales page, you’ll see how much value we offer for a very fair price. This is a membership which currently includes over 25 high quality downloads, nearly 70 long blog postings, and a forum to support it all. There are nearly 1,000 postings in the forum and hundreds of members. My point is that the membership is high quality. You know, something you can feel good about promoting.

Second, we set entirely different domain as a front end specifically for affiliates. We set up the Free Business Model web site which includes two videos that talk about autoresponder membership sites. This is 100% free content. The first video is absolutely free and available to anyone to view.

I’m going to pause for a moment here. You’re probably wondering why we set up a web site with free videos. Specifically, you’re wondering how these free videos would benefit affiliates. These are good questions and the answers below will show you why our affiliates are making a killing.

The third thing we did was set up a new folder specifically for Clickbank. That is, we set up a special sales page specially for selling via Clickbank versus PayPal or other methods. Here’s the Simple Cash Blog Clickbank sales page. If you look at that page, you’ll notice zero differences between that page and the regular page except you can only order via Clickbank. So, to make sure this is clear — we set up a basic affiliate program through Clickbank and dedicated a page to it.

The fourth thing we did was used DLGuard and HopGuard to set up secure affiliate links for our affiliates. I can’t show you the special Simple Cash Blog affiliate system, but I can point you to our IMsimple.com affiliates page. As you can see on that page, all you do is drop in your Clickbank ID and you’re all set to start selling Rhodes Brothers products. Now, imagine that but instead, all you do is point to a free video.

That’s the secret. Let me explain that last part, because it’s probably not totally clear…

We point our affiliates to an affiliate sign up page. On that page (like the IMsimple.com affiliates page I just mentioned), an affiliate would simply drop in their Clickbank affiliate ID. We then autogenerate a special, secure affiliate link tied to Clickbank. The special URL we generate for affiliates looks like this:

http://imsimple.com/hg/?a=qUhiBMhT&p=23

If you click on that link above, you’ll go to FreeBusinessModel.com and you’ll be tagged. That means you’ll have a cookie set. You’ll get to watch a high quality video for free as I described above.

Unfortunately, I’m going to leave you with a cliffhanger..

There’s more I could say at this point but I have to keep a couple of secrets. The rest of the story is inside the Simple Cash Blog members area. I explain this entire model to members, plus they have easy access to our special affiliate program.

Now, get a load of this. We’re launching a completely new product that is going to be huge. We’re going to use exactly the same model I described above but more. We’re giving our affiliates even more tools, more opportunities, and 1-to-1 help.

We’re going to be giving you a $30 commission. It’s a 70% commission on a high quality $47 product that you’ll feel really good about promoting. You can act quickly to hit your list before we do, and before your competitors do. We love affiliates — seriously, we know how important you are. That’s why we’re forking over $30 for each sale.

I can’t give away more about the product. Well, maybe a little more…

Hint: The product is all about private label rights (PLR). We explain exactly how to “exploit PLR” — customers will see how to turn their PLR into cash. We’re going to explain how it is done, step-by-step.

We’re going to give affiliates a chance to make a killing by simply giving away a free high quality video. I encourage you to join the Simple Cash Blog to really get all the information. But, if you want to just be an affiliate, contact us.
