BLOG MOVED!

My blog has now moved to http://www.tarrang.com/sarabrown because I decided to host it on my own server.

But feel free to read through the posts on this page before visiting the new one.

Having a clear out!

Spring cleaning has always been more of a mental exercise than an literal one for me.

I'm not the tidiest person at the best of times so why should Spring suddenly encourage me to become a super-tidy person?

(The easy answer is It Doesn't!)

It's different with my work life though. I have a lot of DVD's videos (shows how long I've been collecting them) and physical books about various aspects of online business and internet marketing, and every now and then I sell them on Ebay.

With digital products you'd think it would be different. You can store tens of thousands of ebooks, probably more, on your hard drive without noticing them too much. You never actually get around to reading them of course but they're much easier to store.

Recently I came across an excellent package about flipping websites - creating them using templates and selling them for up to $1,000 in a single day. The product creator gives real-life examples of how he does it. It's a great package - have a look at http://www.jezwalters.com/flippingwebsite if you're interested.

But I think it's going to cause me a new problem.

The object is to build a website and sell it in a matter of hours. It certainly can be done with a little practise and time, and I've started work on a few websites of my own with the intention of selling them.

So I find myself with two or three small content sites that i must admit, look pretty good. It's time to auction them, and using the instructions in the product I mention above, I know if I'm lucky I should get a few hundred dollars for them.

But have I listed them yet?

Nope - I started to like my sites, get attached to them and before I know it I find that I'm 'hanging onto them for a while'.

Of course what this really means is I like them and can't bear to sell them to someone else. They're not making money for me (websites don't have to earn to be highly saleable) and chances are they'll just sit on my hard drive for a few months until I forget about them forever, when in reality I could be $300 richer for a simple auction listing.

Hoarding mentailty eh?

Viral Sneakiness

I'm back after a long break from blogging for technical reasons - I thought my posts were being automatically updated. It seems not!

There's been a gentle change in the air...

In the past few months I've had a few emails from people who are pretty unhappy with the state of Internet Marketing at the moment. It seems that many experts are promoting marketing methods that are either too complex to put into place or simply don't work because they're gimmicky.

This has led to a lot of 'guru bashing'. Now I'm not directly involved with sites such as www.guruscam.com but I must say I think anything that enables the little guy to question the methods of any expert can only be a good thing. Anyone who offers a product for sale should use it themselves unless there's a very good reason not to.

Which is the other reason I launched www.viralsneakiness.com

A lot of the emails I received openly asked me to 'just tell me how YOU make money!.

Well I hadn't planned the above publication but it wasn't hard to make a list of the dozen or so methods that I use to generate income and to pick what I thought was the easiest and cheapest.

www.viralsneakiness.com is the result. Following on the back of www.minilaunches.com which is another method in the list, I've put out two methods here that I think can kick-start the serious online earning potential of almost amyone.

Better still, they're extremely inexpensive and quick to set up.

But better than that, I'm proud to say that if you read the books you will be able to look round my other sites and instantly spot the methods in the books, because I use them myself. It's where my income comes from - my home, cars, food, holidays, and bills are paid for by using the methods in the books.

I hope you'll be able to look at the methods you've bought from the 'big' experts and say the same.

Can you see the methods in the websites and marketing techniques in their websites?

PLR Rights are all the rage!

Private Label Rights to information products are pretty popular at the moment.

One of my first big 'killings' in the Internet Marketing game was when I bought the Private Label rights to a simple 10 page report. Because it came with Private Label rights it meant I could rewrite parts of it, add some up to date information and (most importantly of all) re-title it and credit myself as author.

I put a link in to my (one and only at that time) website and launched it upom am unsuspecting Internet population.

With initial sales, viral marketing (people clicking on the website link) and paid advertising (other people paid to put their link in the book once it started circulating well) I made over a thousand dollars in a pretty short time.

PLR rights faded a little but I've noticed in recent months a re-surgance in PLR rights.

I was asked by my subscribers to put together a limited PLR package. My subscribers have bought almost ALL the licenses on offer but there ar a handful left.

LIttle Gem!

Sometimes life just hands you a gift.

I'm told I'm one of just a few Internet Marketers who still answer their emails personally. I must admit this is getting harder each year because of the sheer size of my inbox each morning.

One of the most frequent questions I'm asked is from people who want to create their own information products but just don't know what to write about.

Info products are still best-sellers, despite what experts might tell you, but deciding what subject to create an info product on is difficult. Get it wrong and you can find yourself doing a lot of hard work for nothing. Get it right and you could find ten grand in your Paypal account overnight.

I've found a phenomenal ebook that has gone a long way to making sure your info product fills your Paypal account, rather thanb eating up your time for nothing.

Imagine spending just 10 hours getting together a unique info product, that you own sole rights to and that could bring you a regular weekly income!

The stuff of dreams?

Maybe. Maybe not.

It's been along time sonce I've learned something from an ebook that took my breath away. But I have.

Have a look at this.

Retirement!

While the end of my thrities crawls ever closer I can't help but wonder what I'll be doing in 10 years time. When I was 20 it seemed like it would take forever to get to 40 but time seems to move quicker as you get older.

When I had a week to my birthdays as a child it seemed an endless amount of time, but hit your mid thrities and you find yourself thinking about something that you thought happened six months ago, when in reality it was four years since!

So I'm facing up to it - I'll be 50 before I know it, and I don't want to be working at that age. I have a lot of free time now but I want to be fully retired at 50.

It's time to make real plans, not the vague 'I'll be OK' ramblings I've been guilty of in the past.

Maybe this is time to look at your position in the Internet Marketing world. If you're making your living online perhaps it's time to plan out where you want to be in 10 years and start aiming for it.

If you're not yet making your living from IM here's something that might help

Whichever position you're in, simply 'sticking at it' isn't enough. It's time to think about actual numbers of sales, income figures etc.

Scary eh?

On a happier note, the state pension in the UK just went up by 47p a week!

Happy retirement.
