Finding a Niche through the “how”… (PART 1)

November 19, 2008 – 6:48 pm

Finding a niche is a big part of any successful campaign, but can also be an unnecessary setback for new Internet marketers.

There are many different avenues you can go down to find a niche, and today we are going to uncover one that is not only very powerful, but it can be done with minimal work (and is fun!).

This is something we like to call the “how” technique.

Have you ever had a problem or an issue that you were looking to fix? Chances are you have. We run into problems on a day to day basis, whether it is job-related, health related, technology or something related to your personal life.

As an Internet marketer, you can leverage this. Any problem usually has a solution. People are willing to pay for these solutions and as an online marketer you can take advantage of this.

Think about some common problems that people face:

Losing Weight
Getting Rid of Stress
Quitting Smoking
Fixing a slow computer
Learning How to Use Their New mp3 Player
Getting Dog to Stop Barking
Getting Rid of Athletes Foot
Learning How to Make Money Online
Getting rid of wrinkles
Clearing up acne
Rebuilding a dirt bike’s engine
Making vehicle more fuel efficient

These are just a few. The list could go on and on.

People run into issues every day. Whether it is their slow computer dragging them down, they have “debt” piling up, or they need a solution to a health issue they are having, where there is a problem, there is money to be made.

So how do you go about leveraging this as a marketer?

One of the best ways to research problems is to use a question and answer site. There are now several of them out there, but the best ones are:

http://answers.yahoo.com
http://wikihow.com
http://ehow.com

Here is the process for researching:

(1) Type in a keyword related to the industry you are searching
(2) Create a list of all the questions people are asking within that topic
(3) Probe to find the hot button (people search for a how, but behind all of this there is a “why” …why does this person want to lose weight
(4) Formulate a campaign from your findings

Now, how do you actually apply this? We are going to give you an example of how you would research something. For this, we are going to look into something that many people are struggling with right now, “unemployment”.

Step 1: We typed the search term “unemployment” into wikiHow, eHow, and Yahoo Answers.

Step 2: We recorded a list of all the questions related. Here they are (in no particular order).

How to cope with unemployment?
How to relocate a business?
How to get more job security?
How to cope with being fired?
How to survive job layoffs?
How to get out of debt legally?
How to file an unemployment claim?
How to apply for unemployment benefits?
How to calculate unemployment?
How to prepare for unemployment?
How to overcome unemployment?
How to collect unemployment in [state/city/country]?
What happens to unemployment if you become pregnant?
Can I collect unemployment if I work for a non-profit?
Does my unemployment income count when applying for a home loan?
How do I report my unemployment benefits?

..and this was just the start? We could have literally come up with 100’s of more questions, but for the sake of this example we have kept it to 16.

Step 3: Now that you have all of these examples, you need to search for the why? People are asking these questions “why”?

The most obvious one is that they are asking it because they are losing their jobs or have already lost their job (in most cases) and are looking for assistance. One thing you quickly understand when reading their questions in full is that they are in a financial bind?

Your job as a marketer is not only to help these people by “informing” them, but also to give them a solution to the root of their problem. In this case, the root of their problem is being unemployed…and the resolution to their problem will vary from question to question slightly, but the consensus is that these people want to make more money.

Step 4: Now it is time to build a campaign around your findings. You understand people are looking for unemployment, but now you need to inform them via your web page and offer some advice and insight as to how to resolve the problem.

These are a couple of resolutions to this problem (these ideas were taken from the responses):

-get employment assistance (unemployment)
-find a new job
-make money leveraging new avenues (like the Internet)
-register details with a temp agency
-strategies for saving money
-apply for welfare

Then you could probe this industry even further. This was just a simple and broad search under the search term “unemployment”. What if you took terms relevant to this like “find job”, “fired”, “lay off”, “employment” and applied the same strategy? You search would expand, your understanding of the niche would expand, and the insight would allow you to create a much more profitable campaign.

Hope this gives everyone a new tool in the arsenal. We are going to expand on this within our next blog post and show how you can incorporate some free online resources to expand on your “how to” research.

Until then, take care.

A Special Wealthy Affiliate Offer…

November 12, 2008 – 11:40 am

Today is the BIG day.

A day for all the aspiring and successful Internet marketers…

This day marks the day that we launch…

Wealthy Affiliate Accreditation!

We are offering a one week introductory offer to anyone that is looking to become an expert in the following areas:

(1) Article Marketing & SEO
(2) Pay Per Click Marketing (Google Adwords, YSM, MSN)

Many people struggle online because they are either misinformed or have information overload. They may have some of the right knowledge and some of the wrong knowledge, but when they are mixed, failure is inevitable.

We have spent the last 4 months and 100’s of hours developing our newest accreditation courses! They are task based and will walk you through everything you need to know to succeed with these marketing strategies.

They are based off of the EXACT processes we have followed to earn millions of dollars over the course of the last 7 years online.
How much?

If we were like everyone else out there, we would charge an arm and a leg for these courses. The time alone we invested into these courses is worth $1000’s alone, not to mention these courses are the exact (yes, exact) step-by-step processes that we have followed to make millions.

These courses could easily sell for $1000…as people are going to make much more than this off of the knowledge the gain from theme.

However, we have decided to offer each accreditation course for only $67 during the first week of the launch. Each course includes at least 11 lessons that will walk you through everything from the

These courses are only offered within Wealthy Affiliate, so yes; you do have to be member of Wealthy Affiliate before you can get access to them. We have created a special page where you can sign-up to become a member as well as get access to one or more of the accreditation courses.

PPC Course = $67 (ONE WEEK ONLY OFFER!)

==> http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/course_ppc.php

Article Marketing + SEO Course = $67 (ONE WEEK ONLY OFFER!) ==> http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/course_article_marketing.phpHow are these courses different from WA and why do you need to pay for both?

Although we do have a load of resources within WA, including a vast number of tutorials, videos, and other resources…these courses are an all in one package.

We were initially going to launch these courses outside of WA…but decided to offer it exclusively to WA members. Why? Well, we want WA members to succeed and we want to continue feeding the success engine with powerful resources like these.

95% of the things we come out within WA are free, but this is an instance where we have to charge a nominal fee for the course. If you follow through these courses and complete the tasks, you will succeed. That $67 will soon become a very insignificant investment!

You are also investing in your education, knowledge set and future. Think of an accreditation course in college or university. You are looking at a minimum of $1000’s and more times than not, you are being taught from a book, not experience.

And there is MORE…

We are ripening the pot for you. Making an offer that is so irresistible that you cannot afford to take part in this.

We are offering some really special bonuses with each course. Some will tell us we are crazy for giving away such powerful bonuses, but we don’t care!

Here they are:

PPC Accreditation:

BONUS 1: A copy of Beating Adwords (no cost) - $67 Value
BONUS 2: A copy of Inside the List (no cost) - $67 Value
BONUS 3: Access to Lifetime Updates
BONUS 4: Full Support

Full Details HERE!

Article Marketing Accreditation:

BONUS 1: A copy of Who Loves Money (no cost) - $77 value
BONUS 2: A copy of Inside the List (no cost) - $67 value
BONUS 3: 100 PLR Articles
BONUS 4: 1000 Hot Article Keywords
BONUS 5: Access to Lifetime Updates
BONUS 6: Full Support

Full Details HERE!

We are giving away our top marketing e-books (which are all hot clickbank sellers) when you purchase either one of the courses. These books alone are worth more than the value of each accreditation!!!

How can you not take advantage of this!

Best Ways to Make Money Online…

November 9, 2008 – 11:33 am

One the main questions that we get from members at WA is whether or not they should start with PPC or a technique like article marketing.

Either way, you will be on the right track…but there are financial constraints with PPC, whereas ANYONE can partake in a successful article marketing or SEO campaign.

So, should you go free or paid?

Well, this is up to you. We do not know your situation or your experience. Because of this we have created an outline of the benefits and drawbacks involved with both types of marketing. From this, you can choose your path:

No Cost (Article Marketing)
————————————–

Benefits:

• doesn’t cost anything
• gain valuable marketing experience
• learn to become a pro copywriter
• no financial risk

Drawbacks:

• some successes are very short term
• not as scalable as PPC
• time investment

We recommend…

Article marketing (and SEO) is for ANYONE that is just getting started in the Internet marketing world or has not yet achieved success online. It doesn’t cost anything and the experience you gain when creating article marketing campaigns is high octane. You learn about understanding audiences, researching keywords and creating targeted campaigns…all skills that are important with PPC success and are transferable. If you are on a tighter budget or just starting out, we suggest you start with Article Marketing. Once you gain experience and have some seed money from your article marketing activities, you can definitely start moving over to PPC.

Cost (PPC)
————————————–

Benefits:

• more instant results
• huge earning potential
• more scalable
• predictable results

Drawbacks:

• risk losing money
• more “rules” go into successful campaign
• can be competitive

We recommend….

PPC marketing is for anyone with a budget that is willing to learn before they “do”. PPC marketers fail when they do not understand how engines like Google Adwords and YSM function OR when they do not research an audience before they promote to them.

PPC results are measurable and anything that can be measured can be improved upon. Additionally, once you become an experienced PPC marketer, each campaign you set-up will become predictable. Once you “get” the formula of PPC success down, you are well on your way to long term income online.

$1000 per day is possible with a SINGLE PPC campaign!

PPC is good if you can handle a little risk, but the rewards can far outweigh the risk.

Can you do both?

Absolutely, in fact we recommend it. If you are pure beginner, we recommend starting with article marketing and then transitioning over to PPC once you have some experience. If you have some marketing experience and a budget to support a PPC campaign, this could be your starting point. You could then write articles to supplement your traffic. Either way having experience in both will be highly beneficial.

Why WA makes sense…

At Wealthy Affiliate we offer training in both marketing techniques (and many other). We have mastered both and made millions of dollars online to date with our PPC and article marketing efforts.

We have also helped 1000’s of people achieve success in both. We have a mixed group of members at WA, some are article marketers, some are PPC marketers, some both, and some are merchants. Whichever path you want to take, we will be there to help.

We do not just show you the WHY; we show you exactly how to do it. We have seen it all and probably done it all. With a combined 13 years experience online, we know what it takes to succeed, and we can help you get there. Whether you are just starting out or want to expand your business, we can offer assistance and training in both.

And finally, on November 12^th, 2008 we are going to be introducing something to Wealthy Affiliate that is going to help everyone succeed. We are going to make an offer that is exclusive to Wealthy Affiliate members and if you have ever wanted the “full ride” training, everything from start-up to success, you will want to be on board for this.

This is just a few days away…and you will want to be a part of this! Join Wealthy Affiliate!

Take Care and we will speak with you soon,

Is It Possible to Get Google Ads Free?

November 5, 2008 – 7:54 pm

Last blog post we talked about Google and gave you a checklist you need to follow to construct a campaign Google will absolutely love.

Today, we are going to talk about how to get highly relevant and converting Google traffic for no cost at all!

We are going to solve any mystery behind this (if there ever was), and help you understand what these high ticket courses and such are talking about when they say they are going to show you how to get Google Ads for FREE!

The breakdown…

Google has paid and natural search listings. You cannot get paid positions for without paying, you pay for each click through your Google Adwords account. So, no, you cannot get PPC traffic for free.

Anyone that tells you otherwise is.. well… LYING!

When people talk about traffic that costs nothing, they are referring to what we call natural search listings. These are the listings that you will see down the middle of the page when you perform a Google search.

Through research, it has been proven that people that are seeking the most relevant search results typically look down the middle, and people that are more geared towards buying something, look to the right (the paid search results).

In both cases, people will buy from both paid and natural search listings if your content is relevant and your offer is relevant.

How to get the “middle” listings?

The best way and the most common technique is Article Marketing. You may have heard this term in the past, or you may have heard “bum marketing”, both are the exact same thing.

This is how it works:

1. You write an article that targets a relevant search term
   
2. You submit this content to an article directory
3. Google (and other search engines) pick up your page from this directory (since it has a high page rank)
4. You get ranked in Google under the search term
5. You article gets “clicked” and someone buys from it (you get paid)

This 5 step process is the bare bones of a successful article marketing campaign. There are some impact points of a campaign that can make the difference between making money and not making money, and these should be considered before every article you write:

(1) The keyword you target
If your keyword is not relevant to your market and does not target people who have buying power, what is the point? For example, a term like “download music for free” attracts the wrong audience, where “buy Michael Jackson thriller download” would be much more targeted and attract the right audience.

(2) Which directory you submit to
The best directories are the ones with the highest page ranks and that get “seen” by Google the most. These directories are ezinearticles.com, squidoo.com, goarticles.com and usfreeads.com.

(3) What product you are promoting
If you are not promoting a product/service that is relevant to the keywords that get listed under, then there is no point. If someone is search for “best dog training program” and you offer natural dog food recipe within your article, you will not be 100% targeted, thus affecting your earning potential. Be relevant!

(4) If the article “makes” sense
Trying to plug keywords within your article just to “plug keywords” is not a good idea. If your article does not have flow and does not make sense, nobody is going to read it. You need to be strategic with your writing so that you are not only targeting keywords, but it makes sense to the reader!

Next time you hear “Get Google Ads For Free”, understand that this is a tricky way of saying SEO, or more specifically, article marketing.

More to come on this in the coming days….

Stung by the Google Killer Bee (the google slap)…

November 3, 2008 – 5:59 pm

The Google Killer Bee hurts like no other. You invest a load of your time and energy into creating a campaign only to see sting you with high bid prices, low rankings, and more often than not, ads that are NOT EVEN BEEN SHOWN!

After 6 years in the Adwords game, I had one of my Adwords campaigns stung by the Google slap for the first time. Boy was it ever a shocker when I looked in this particular campaign to see no clicks because my ads were shut off due to “poor” Quality Score.

I yelled at the computer screen…“What do you mean “low” Quality Score!”

I have relevant ads, a high CTR (over 5% on average), my landing pages were relevant, and I had internal links on my pages.

Any guesses as to what my problem was?

My ad groups were too big!

I am not talking about a huge 500 keyword groups. I thought my ad groups with fewer than 20 keywords were tightly grouped, but apparently Google was de-ranking me for this.

Alright, if Google is going to play this relevance game, I can play just as hard. There comes a point where your campaign cannot be created any better…and the only thing that I could do is tighten my ad groups to the point where they were so targeted, Google could not have any more complaints.

Here is what I did:

I took an ad group like this:

-wealthyaffiliate
-wealthyaffiliate review
-wealthyaffiliate university
-wealthy affiliate
-wealthy affiliate review
-wealthy affiliate university
-does wealthy affiliate work
-become a wealthy affiliate
-join wealthy affiliate

……and 10 more similar keywords

Then I created a “brand new” campaign and I ripped them apart into smaller ad groups like this:

Group 1:

-review for wealthy affiliate
-wealthy affiliate review
-wealthy affiliate reviews
-wealthy affiliate website review

Group 2:

-wealthy affiliate university
-join wealthy affiliate university
-wealthy affiliate university review
-wealthy affiliate university website

I kept the ad groups to a size of 5 keywords or less, following a common keyword them. Notice in the first “wealthy affiliate review” and in the second ad group, “wealthy affiliate university” is the common theme.

And then I wrote targeted ads for both groups, including ALL keywords within the ad groups within the ad (this is critical).

Guess what happened?

My ads instantly showed up within the Google paid search results, my keywords obtaining a “great” Quality Score (9/10 most of them), and my new campaign was alive and thriving!

So, even if you are following the rules, Google continues to make things harder for weak advertisers to succeed, and easier for strong advertisers to become massively successful.

Ever since these changes within my campaign, my ads have never been ranked higher and my CTR has exploded (many ad groups over 30% CTR)!!

Here is a little checklist that you need to follow to have a campaign that Google absolutely loves:

1. Relevant keywords (3+ terms in length)
2. Small and tight ad groups (less than 10, ideally less than 5 keywords)
3. Relevant ads (that contain the keywords)
4. Relevant landing pages (that contain the keywords, but doesn’t spam them)
5. Multi-page site

Cover these basis and you are on your way to PPC profits….send the Google bees back to their hive or sick them on your weaker competition!

Hope you enjoyed this and if you are having trouble with your Quality Score, go over the checklist. Chances are you may be doing one or more things slightly wrong!

Take Care,

Kyle

Impact of Dollar Swings on PPC campaigns

October 30, 2008 – 11:11 am

As you may know, the USD has gained great strength against many of the other major currencies in the past months with fear of exports, global recession, commodity prices and other factors. A changing dollar can have major impacts on your PPC campaigns, so we though we would give you a head up as to how you can prevent this from negatively affecting your campaigns.

First off, a swing this quickly is not typical by any means. Carson and I both reside in western Canada, and the Canadian dollar has dropped 30 cents to the American dollar is just the last 60 days. Pretty amazing when you think about it!

Our once “par” dollar is no longer par, in fact it is worth much less.

Here is what this means in terms of our PPC campaigns:

A $1.00 bid is now only worth $0.78. Since Google and other SE’s deal with their PPC listings (on a competition basis) on the USD, fluctuations in other currencies can negatively affect ad position.

A once strong dollar would have gotten much better positioning when it was actually worth a dollar, not $0.78. Although your campaign may have a “great” Quality Score status, this has caused many positioning drop-offs within campaigns.

What should you do?

(1) Well to increase your ad positioning to its old “state”, you will need to increase your PPC prices. This has caused many advertisers to move positioning, so make sure you adjust your PPC prices in smaller increments ($0.05 - $0.10 at a time).

(2) Continue improving Quality Score. Quality Score is having more and more of an impact on your ad positioning. A great Quality Score can make the difference between a 1^st page listing and a 2^nd page listing. Obviously you will get much more traffic on the 1^st page!

(3) Compare your current position to that of your listings a month ago. Then work to gain your results back. If you are noticing a lower CTR, this is because your ads have moved down on the page. The 1-5 listings within the paid search results yield a much higher CTR than that of a lower listing. A low CTR means a low Quality Score…this can have some serious affects.

Here is some real data from one of my PPC campaigns.

Before: Sept 1-2nd campaign data:

Keyword 1, ad position 4.6 CTR 4.61%
Keyword 2, ad position 5.7 CTR 2.99%
Keyword 3, ad position 3.8, CTR 6.21%

After: October 27-28^th campaign data:

Keyword 1, ad position 6.3 CTR 2.22%
Keyword 2, ad position 6.5 CTR 0%
Keyword 3, ad position 4.8, CTR 3.42%

This is an average ad position differential of 1.23 and an average CTR difference of 2.72%. This is a HUGE difference and will definitely have an impact on our Quality Score and overall conversions.

There is some good news to take from this despite the higher PPC charges. The fluctuations are not exact to how much you will earn online. If you have a profitable campaign, you are now much more profitable. Since most affiliate companies and networks pay out in US dollars, it impacts your bottom line in a good way.

Now when I take $10,000 USD check to the bank, it is worth $13,000 CAD. This is a significant increase in earnings and outweighs the high click costs!! Just over a month ago my $10,000 USD was only worth $10,000 CAD!

Also, some great news if you are from the USA!

On the other end of the spectrum, as a dollar gains value, so does your ad positioning. If you have noticed a jump in traffic and a jump in CTR, this is because your ad positioning has been given a boost by the power of the US dollar.

This is a definitely a good thing. Traffic should be marginally cheaper and your ad positioning has likely increased by an average of a full position!

Lower CPC, higher ad positioning and higher CTR = Higher Quality Score and more money in your pocket!

PPC is a crazy world and the more you understand the “ins and outs”, the greater your chance of succeeding. We understand PPC and with over 2 million clicks from my Adwords account alone, I think I can safely say I understand a thing or two about PPC and how to optimize campaigns (Carson has an account just as large!).

In saying this, we are just a few weeks away from launching something within Wealthy Affiliate that is going to create expert PPC marketers. In this economy, there is still a lot of money to be made within the PPC world (don’t listen to naysayers) and we are going to help literally 1,000’s of people become PPC success stories.

Stay in tune with the PPC world and take advantage of what we teach at WA and you will become a success story too!

Beijing 2008 & The Bigger Picture

August 8, 2008 – 9:22 am

8-8-2008… Today is the opening day of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China and this opens a huge opportunity for Internet marketers to tackle.  The entire world will be watching the Beijing Olympics on the television and you know that country rivalries in sports like football (soccer for those in the US), basketball, track & field, boxing, aquatics and gymnastics are going to be heating up!  This also means that sports fans around the world will be itching to cheer their countries on. 

There is opportunity to promote to sports fans just like any other audience in any other industry online!

Beijing is an event happening in 2008 that only occurs once every 4 years, but what about other events that you can take advantage of throughout the year?

Here are a few HOT events from this year that we personally know people have taken full advantage of marketing online (and made a killing):

- New Years Resolutions (weight loss, quitting smoking)
- NCAA Football Rose Bowl
- Tennis - Australian Open
- Chinese New Year
- Super Bowl
- Valentines Day
- NCAA Basketball Tournament
- Golf - The Masters
- Soccer - UEFA Football Championship
- 2008 Summer Olympics
… and the list goes on

We are constantly on the look out for current events that present great online marketing opportunities and we have a massive list that we give away to all members at Wealthy Affiliate.  The WA Task & Goal calendar provides notifications to members about upcoming current events that they can market online.

During the most recent World Cup Soccer tournament (2006), we set up a campaign where we earned $60 per minute (yes, per minute) during the times that the matches were on each day.  There were 3-4 matches per day, so you can do the math and see that we made a fortune promoting this one sporting event.  This exact opportunity will present its self again many times in the future (in 671 days, 6 hours, 28 minutes, and 51 seconds to be exact!).  There are many other marketing opportunities just like this happening each and every month, and you are missing out if you are not taking advantage of them.

Finding hot niches to promote online can earn you a fortune, and many of these events happen on an annual basis!  Once you’ve promoted an annual event once, you will be able to let things run on auto-pilot for years to come as you will have the marketing campaigns, the websites, the keywords, and the content ready each year when that event rolls around.

You can earn BIG dollars by staying current and up to date with what the hottest events are throughout the year.  If you want to get access to our list, you’ll have to join Wealthy Affiliate!

Two-word Landing Page Optimization = 5000% ROI

July 18, 2008 – 9:14 am

You’ve spent countless hours setting up that Pay-per-click campaign or writing articles to drive traffic to your websites, but when traffic gets there you get the ultimate slap in the face… no sales.

Getting your website optimized is something that needs to be priority #1 before you start sending traffic to it. We recently exploded our Return on Investment (ROI) on one of our sites by over 5000%, and we did it by changing just two words.

The way that you word your landing pages will have a huge affect on the amount of cash that you put in your pocket each month. You need to know how to tweak and optimize your landing pages so that you aren’t leaving money on the table. EVERY single visitor that comes to your page is a potential client for life, all you need to do is explain to them why they can benefit from making a purchase from your site. Why is that weight loss product any different from all the rest, and why will it help them lose 10 pounds in 10 days? Connecting with your visitors on an emotional level will set your website apart from all the rest. Hit each visitor with an emotional connection, a great looking page where information flows from one point into the next, key benefits that are easy to find, and a clear pathway to make a purchase.

We’re not joking around when we say that our ROI jumped up 5000% by changing just a couple words, and no, it had nothing to do with changing the price.

If you’re stuck scratching your head and wondering why your visitors aren’t buying from your site, you need to get educated with website optimization.

Small tweaks can = BIG Rewards and earn you hundreds of dollars (if not thousands) more each day.

- Rewording a link
- Changing an image
- Moving an image
- Deleting some of your content
- Color of your text
- Deleting fancy graphics
- Changing a few words
- Tweaking your headline
- and a lot more….

It’s true that a two-minute tweak to a page can make you thousands every month. Testing your landing pages and websites, optimizing your content, and simplifying the flow is something that every marketer NEEDS to know. Don’t let a few words on your landing page hold you back from getting that new TV, or jetting off to Cancun with the family during spring break. Get informed, and let Kyle and I educate you in mastering website optimization at Wealthy Affiliate.

You could be just a few words away from being that success story you’ve read about time and time again.

==> Join us at Wealthy Affiliate and get that website optimization training you need!

The face of the Internet has just changed…

July 8, 2008 – 12:41 pm

The much anticipated launch of WA Gold has just taken place. We
had a live countdown going within WA by members and we had 100’s of
people email us in excitement of the brand new evolution at Wealthy
Affiliate.

We can honestly say the excitement has increased 10 fold since we
actually launched the new SYSTEMSSS.

Most of you are curious about the “moo-lah” that we are giving
away. What does this mean?

*****System #1: WA Gold

We have added a currency within Wealthy Affiliate and are
essentially creating our own economy. Each month members at
Wealthy Affiliate get more “gold” which they can then give to
fellow members at WA. If you offer value anywhere within WA, you
are going to get gold from others.

This gold is then cashable. You can exchange this for REAL USD at
the end of every month. We are dumping $10,000’s back into Wealthy
Affiliate each and every month to run this economy….and like a real
economy, you have to spend your gold in order for it to work.
Because of this, we made it so that your own gold is not
“cashable”. You can only cash gold given to you, so we encourage
members to give out all of their gold every month.

Members can now earn money right within Wealthy Affiliate….all
funded by yours truly, Kyle & Carson! We were told that we were
too cheap to begin with and NOW we are giving moo-lah away to ALL
members of WA. We are going to get told we are “off our rockers”
for doing this, but we don’t care.

We continually give back to members at WA, when other Internet
marketers are continually taking from you. We truly are different!

Wait, that is not all…

“And what else do you guys have up your sleeves?”

We have made no mention of our second launch that took place….

Consider this one a SECRET launch, but just as big as the WA gold,
if not bigger.

*****System #2: WA Share Zone

This system is going to explode the content within Wealthy
Affiliate. Members can now create their own tutorials, videos,
and upload their own documents right within the Wealthy Affiliate
Share Zone community.

That is right! Now all members of WA can be active content
contributors! Why bother though?

First of all it feels good to help others out, but secondly, this
system is also tied into the WA Gold. If you offer value within a
tutorial that you offer to fellow members at WA, you could earn
residual income for a lifetime! How do you like the sounds of this?

————————————–

So get ready for not only a new way to earn money through Wealthy
Affiliate, but an explosion of helpful and powerful content.

The evolution has come….and the Internet marketing world has been
ready for this for a long time.

Join Wealthy Affiliate and take part in this new and improved
community!

Take care and have a “golden” day!

A new type of GOLDRUSH coming soon!

July 1, 2008 – 12:09 pm

We hope that you are enjoying your day…and if you are from Canada like us, we hope that you are having a great Canada Day!

We just wanted to let you in on something big, REALLY BIG that is coming to WA next Tuesday.

It is an Internet marketing revolution and to be honest with you, we are not sure how we are going to top this new addition to Wealthy Affiliate. It is probably our biggest innovation and biggest move towards helping as many people as possible succeed online that we have made yet.

The system is called WA Gold, and although we are not going to release exact details until Tuesday, we can tell you a few things about it:

(1) It will allow all members to earn money right within WA
(2) It is going to make WA the place to be for Internet marketing
(3) Quality information at WA is going to grow 10 fold
(4) The already high success rate at WA will skyrocket
(5) WA will simply become the best IM community online

Now, like we said, full details will come on the launch date, but you can definitely take part in the celebration if you are not already a member of WA.

Sign-up Here

This is BIG.

Take care and have a great week!

Kyle
