I mentioned PLR books in my last post.  But, the question has come up, what about MRR products? Master Resale Rights books do NOT allow you to edit them in any way shape or form, but you can also sell them or give them away.  So, if you purchase Master Resale ebooks or software, you can NOT insert your affiliate links in them.  Sorry!

If you haven’t seen the initials PLR before, you might want to get out your affiliate marketing dictionary.  PLR stands for Private Label Rights, and it means that you can re-use, resell, and relabel a product anyway you see fit, or any way the author of the product is allowing you to do so.

Want to know more? Or think you’re ready to stock up on a whole boatload of PLR for your own websites?  Check out this website that’s giving away free PLR software and more.

Can you give away 1 CD per day? If so, you could be making up to $28,184.40… that’s if you do it wrong! Just images how much you can make if you do it right! I know, it sounds too good to be true, but this letter proves how easy it can be:  3 months ago Russell released this training and sold it for $2,497. It sold out in just 1 minute and 47 seconds!!! (Yes, it was THAT good!) If you missed that very small window, then I’ve got GREAT news for you! Today you have a chance to get this training for FREE!!!   Russell took a few of those original students and had an very top secret underground workshop at his offices. You’ve probably heard some of the amazing case studies from some of those original students, including stay at home mom who was able to get her WHOLE business (starting from scratch) to making money in just 48 hours! Well, Russell decided to put the MP3’s from this event on a pre-loaded MP3 player and GIVE them to you FREE! He is having these MP3 players shipped in from Hong Kong, and only ordered 2,000 copies. When they are sold out, it will take up to 8 weeks to get another shipment – so go get your pre-loaded MP3 player NOW before they are gone forever: Click here!

Btw – for those of you who know how much I like Russell’s stuff – I shelled out the cash to take  one of his “famous” $10,000 seminars.

Have you visited SEO Book yet?  They have a great set of tools to help your PPC campaign, as well as a blog, and other cool SEO info.

If you don’t know who Russell Brunson is, he’s one of the leading authorities on selling online.  Any kind of selling.  If you want to make money, visit his website.  

On a more serious note, I’m taking a series of  coaching sessions with Russell’s Dotcomsecrets staff, and it’s one of the coolest experiences ever.  Want to take a sneak peak? Look here. 

Google says that we’re all going to have to love rich snippets. Only they haven’t REALLY said that, YET.  What they have said is that rich snippets will be coming to a search engine near you, to a town near you, and if your site doesn’t have them, well, watch out.  How long do we think it’ll take before your days of ranking in the top 5 are over? Or, is this just another one of those “things” google throws out to be funny?

I was just introduced to MLM and told it was like affiliate marketing.  Well, kind of. 

For those of you who are curious, let me go into Multi-level marketing in another post.  This article will mostly talk about pros and cons of the two. 

Affiliate marketing Pros

• no fees
• no inventory to buy or carry
• earns money as long as the website works

MLM pros

• get commissions for sales of people who sign up “below” you
• commissions continue to pay as long as you are in the program
• does not require a website, can be promoted via a website
• most commissions are 35-50%

Tired of promoting the same thing as everyone else? Try looking under rocks for affiliate programs?  What do I mean by that? Well, there are a lot of affiliate programs out there that aren’t run by clickbank, google, cj or linkshare.  Because it’s cheeper for many companies to run their affiliate programs from the inside, you may find that you can find your favorite product has an affiliate program no one knows about but you. 

Looking for a specific company? Start by googling “company X affiliate”.  If they don’t have an affiliate program, give them a call, pay them a visit, or send them an email.

For those of you who haven’t logged on to CJ lately, the CJ registration is up, and CJU is from 9-15 to 9-17, 2009.   

If you haven’t gone, it’s a great time.  I’ve been there twice.  My best experience was probably networking, and getting the chance to hear some of the seminars done by guys like Jeremy Palmer and Shoe Money (or some other guy that I have confused with Shoe Money…).  Anyway, I came home with a lot of book marked websites, and notes scribbled on a piece of paper. 

The networking is pretty cool. My biggest regret is that I didn’t ACT on at least one of the clients that I met when I attended as a publisher. (My first year, I was an advertiser… I made lots of phone calls, most of which no one returned..lol)  Being at CJU is a great time to work a better commission, get out there, and become a name in the industry.

There comes a time in most affiliate businesses when you either can’t do something or you’re totally overwhelmed.  You’ll find that the best thing to do is find some one who can help you. 

I use Odesk to find programmers to help me.  You could also advertise your own skills, if you are a programmer or designer, and want to earn an extra buck. Anyway, most of these outsourcing programs work similarly.  You can post your job for free, and “interview” programmers via chat.  The ODesk software allows you to monitor the activities of the person you choose. You pay oDesk, so no need to worry about someone running off without finishing your project.

Anyway, I’ve used oDesk to find my favorite programmer and complete several projects, so I’m very pleased.  Also, if you do sign up for oDesk, be sure to check out their referral program to make $50 for every person that spends / earns $1,000.  That may sound like a lot, but a website can easily run that much. 

Regardless of which outsourcing program you use, you’ll find that it can make a project go easier and faster, as well as be a cost-efficient way to get the job done.
