First things first, a membership website is currently popular due to its easy usability.  All it requires is for a member to enter his email address and password in order to access content.
There are five specific types of Membership Websites, most of which are free (such as Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, etc.) or paid (e.g. porn sites).
What if you made your own membership site which had regular unique content which you charge users a monthly fee for.  If you are an expert on your specific membership site niche, you similarly would be able to recommend products to your customers thereby allowing you to create long-term residual income.

I have to tell you right off the bat, Soren Jordansen’s Internet Marketing Success Formula knocked me for a loop when I got my finally got hands on his free 41 page e-book.

It’s bursting at the seams with useful information Soren gleamed from his own experience and, more importantly, from conducting scientific surveys of internet marketers.

Basically, the average internet marketer is a new marketer who desperately wants to make enough money so they can quit their day job but has doesn’t have the foggiest idea on how to actually go about doing so.

There is one startling finding that many seasoned marketers overlook, or just plain don’t know, and it is from this fact that Soren lays out detailed proven tested step by step plan

This e-book is written for the new marketer or for any other marketer who is stuck and hasn’t yet experienced success online.

When you can get right down to it,  it’s a roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty how to guide on starting a internet business from
scratch.

Everything, and I mean everything, is covered from choosing a web host, building a squeeze page, monetizing the list building process, how to set up a profit pulling email series and what types of affiliate programs convert the best while creating the trust and
creditability.

The traffic generation system starts with methods that generate tons of free traffic immediately and progresses through more advanced and time consuming tactics as well as using paid traffic to build your business.

The only thing I wished Soren would have spent more time on was the chapter where he shows you how to take it to the next level. However, it’s really for internet marketers who need to get their basic hands free affiliate system set up and running first.

Now, what make Soren’s report stand head and shoulders above every other basic how to guide are the real life examples Soren is currently using in own business.  He doesn’t waste your time with fictional dog training case studies or other such nonsense.

And get this, Soren is letting people rebrand this e-book for a ridiculously low price.

I’m not kidding when I say using the methods revealed in The Internet Marketing Success Formula could mean the difference between you becoming one of the scant few percent making real money online or still spinning your wheels trying make sense of internet marketing and going nowhere fast!

My recommendation is to get your hands on this free e-book and follow the steps exactly as Soren says.

The first thing I have to say is this Internet Marketing Success Formulacompletely totally surprised me.

I got Soren Jordansen’s new ebook yesterday, Friday, and completely read the free 41 page e-book without stopping.  Then I read it again! Making copious notes.  My well intended plans for what I was going to do yesterday, I’m afraid to say, went totally out the window as I became immersed in the book.  However, that being said, believe me, the time was well spent!

Tim Linden Reviews Instant Banner Creator

This is the review you’ve all been waiting for! You were drenched with emails about it yesturday, but you all held out until you found out what Tim said, right? Oh, you got it anyways? Eh, that’s ok!

Kidding aside, Instant Banner Creator is pretty sweet. I had my chance at the banner creator gig. I’ve had one on StartXchange for quite some time, but nowhere as close as this:

Now that might not be the best graphic in the world, because your’s truley made it. But I wanted to show you a few things about it..  See how the red text overlaps the other text? Yep, I did that. I just clicked and dragged it there.

You can make Banners, Buttons, Headers, Footers, Animations, and Peel Away Ads. My creator..  Just a banner.. And it had the StartXchange logo (the really old one) as the background, and only black text. At the time it seemed great because you could stick your photo on it.

LOL thinking about it now I probably should have used a different template to show you the different ones there are, but hey I like the blue button OK! So my official review is that it’s easy to use, and it works. If you have photoshop and are great at it, chances are you won’t need this. But for the 99% of us that don’t have a clue, that’s who this is for.

So why do graphics matter? Well we are visiual people afterall. When you’ve got your splash page all made up, just a simple button as a call to action instead of a normal link could make a big difference. I challenge you to try it out and split test the results!

Internet Marketing Success Formula Review

I have to tell you right off the bat, Søren Jordansen’s Internet Marketing Success Formula knocked me for a loop when I got a preview on his free 41 page e-book. So when he asked me to provide the programming for the downline builder and PDF re branding for it I jumped at the chance.

IM Success Formula is bursting at the seams with useful information Soren gleamed from his own experience and, more importantly, from conducting scientific surveys of internet marketers. Everything, and I mean everything, is covered from choosing a web host, building a squeeze page, monetizing the list building process, how to set up a profit pulling email series and what types of affiliate programs convert the best while creating the trust and creditability.

Tracking Stats With Hits Connect

I know I talked about this before, but its one of the most important things you need to do online, and that is tracking your stats. I’ll admit it I never really put much effort into tracking my stats until about a year ago. I’ve tested a lot of programs and out of everything I’ve tired Hits Connect does it all for a very affordable cost.

They not only track your traffic, but they can show you where a sale/lead came from, and that’s the most important thing. Knowing where sales/leads come from will help you cut down on the places then work and don’t.

Below is a screen shot of my Hits Connect account. What I like most is that you can use the Parameter to type in what ad is what so you can target every ad you send out.

For example if you sent a Smart Safelist solo ad out your Parameter could be smartssolo (standing for smart safelist solo).

Then in the Parameter filed like in the image below it would display that name for your total hits and the sales/action conversions. This will help you determine what is working for you, and what is just wasting your time and money.

Hits Connect is very affordable, and well worth the monthly fee. If you want to invest into your business one place I highly recommend spending a little money in is ad tracking.

Dragon Surf Review by Floshow25

Dragon Surf is a traffic exchange site that seems to be known for getting down to business in a simple and easy to understand way. They are also starting to be known for their new and “cool” website design.

Dragon Surf seems to be growing fast and they seem to offer some valuable opportunities like their free affiliate tools. Their anti-cheating program is fixed to where you must log in in order to surf that way they know that you are surfing manually. They have a manual eighteen second timer and an auto twenty second timer for their free accounts and for the paid membership accounts they offer a timer of fifteen seconds auto and manual which help you earn your credits quicker from the program.

They have a number of ways you can earn credits or cash by playing online games, you can earn cash or credits by referring other members, and you can earn cash or credits from the paid to click ads. Dragon Surf also say that they have excellent customer service so if you have any questions or problems, Dragon Surf say that you don’t have to worry about that.

Someone claims that one of the problems with Dragon Surf is that your traffic will not be targeted to any specific destination and their free membership accounts have a below industry standard exchange rate.
According to their site the only way to increase the ratio of exchange is to be a paying member.

So far Dragon Surf seems to be a normal traffic exchange site that’s starting to be well known and according to their site they provide good service when it comes to getting people to your site.

DNI comment by Lonnie Minton

The Daily Niche Idea is indeed a good membership site and provides useful info and ideas for working with niches and the bonuses are really good also.

Reference: Brett’s Niche Marketing Blog

Depending on which information you follow you will be in one of two camps when it comes to selecting a niche to market. You are either told to get into a niche about which you have knowledge and interest or to get into a niche that is ‘hot’.

The great thing about Daily Niche Ideas is that it provides niche ideas across such a broad spectrum that not only will you find niches that are ‘hot’ but probably niches in which you may already have knowledge or expertise.

If you have tried affiliate and list marketing without success and if the systems seem too complex, like you have to know all of the tricks to get anywhere, then with Daily Niche Ideas you are going to get absolutely free ideas delivered to your inbox. Plus you also receive everything you need to set up and start generating an online income.

Cindy Battye has created a system that is simple to use and easy to earn with.

Is this you?

# You spend heaps of money on the latest ‘guru’ offering.

#  Give it a go for a bit, maybe make a couple of dollars back… but get bored.

#  Feel like a bit of a failure because you were told all of these other ‘noobies’ were doing it much better than you….

This was me too but really you have everything you need to finally start creating your successful online business. Maybe you might be thinking what if I am not creative enough?

It’s ok!  Daily Niche Idea, which is completely f’ree – is the perfect option for you. You also get the statistics about how many people have searched for your niche – giving you a good idea of your target audience and each week you will be given a fresh new package of a product that you can fully rebrand as your own – including the ideas, stats and everything you need to make this happen!

You are also shown how to monetize your site – they provide a high converting affiliate product related to each topic – so you can put the information all together with the website builder tools, in next to no time!

Social Bookmarking Exposed Review

Service Description

Social Bookmarking Exposed is a tutorial e-book that focuses on the importance of social bookmarking in your Internet marketing efforts. Creator John Merrick expounds on the explosion of popularity that social networking sites have seen in recent times and shows you how to profit from this popularity. In Social Bookmarking Exposed, Merrick promises to provide easy steps to exponentially increasing your Internet marketing profits through social networking sites.

Detailed Overview

Social networking websites are today’s hot trend. There are very few people who own computers and go on the Internet these days who don’t have accounts in one or more social networking sites. Social Bookmarking Exposed promises to show Internet marketers and aspiring Internet marketers how to capitalize on social networking sites and bring traffic to their own sales websites, squeeze pages and blogs. In this tutorial e-book, John Merrick provides information that promises to clearly show the right ways and the wrong ways to use social networking websites for marketing. In Social Bookmarking Exposed, Merrick warns that marketing your websites and products the wrong way in these places can be extremely detrimental to your efforts. That being said, however, he states that the right marketing to social networking sites can be a source of increased sales for you—so much so that you could see double or even triple profits after a short amount of time.

In Social Bookmarking Exposed, Merrick claims that there is more to marketing through social networking sites than just getting people on your friends lists to see your advertisements. The right efforts can actually get your websites ranked high in the search engines; something that every Internet marketer strives for.

Critics of Social Bookmarking Exposed claim that marketers have saturated social networking websites so much that people who belong to them are automatically turned off by anything that even resembles marketing. In this e-book, however, Merrick promises to show you how to approach your social bookmarking in a way that will make people feel that you are always providing them with something of value.

Reputation

Social Bookmarking Exposed was never intended to be a huge sensation in the Internet marketing world, so you don’t hear a lot about it. Merrick simply felt that he could provide the answers to a lot of questions that marketers are asking about how to use social networking sites to increase their profits. Those who have purchased the e-book have provided mostly positive feedback about what it has done for them. Nothing earth shattering, just solid information.
