Online BootCamp Gives Busy Professionals a Reduced Learning Curve and Clear Path to Developing Income with Affiliate Programs
By Kellie Fowler

If you’re struggling to keep up with busy schedules, growing time constraints, escalating financial issues, and a family that you yearn to spend more time with, you’re not alone. Like you, more and more people are fed up with the 9-5 grind and with putting in overtime hours and efforts that go above and beyond only to receive disappointing paychecks.

But you don’t have to miss out on life! Instead, you can create financial freedom from home and you are about to learn, step-by-step, exactly how!

Whether looking for supplemental income or a legitimate business that you can “grow” to make your monthly income your weekly income, you’re in the right place.

It’s called affiliate marketing and you now have the opportunity to learn from the top expert in this field how he took his starting goal of making an additional $200 a month and turned it into an income that provides he and his family with the lifestyle they previously only dreamed about.

With little start-up costs and the only resources needed including just a computer and Internet access, this online publishing business is freeing people up to live their lives to the fullest, all the while finally achieving financial freedom, while simultaneously spending more quality time with family and friends.

It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not.

Better yet, you can learn the techniques and strategies used every day by James Martell, a successful affiliate marketer, in his online course, to be conducted one evening per week for eight weeks.

It’s called James Martell’s Affiliate Marketers BootCamp - Online “Night School” Edition and “seats” do fill up fast!

Why? Because Martell has been successfully teaching students how to create profitable affiliate marketing businesses for years.

See for yourself what one Martell student says about the BootCamp training: “In the past, I’ve attended several seminars with multiple speakers. None came close to James’ powerful, articulate, hands-on, gritty presentation. He’s by far the best Instructor I’ve been privy to hearing… and grasping.”

Martell BootCamp student Darryl Ruff agrees: “I’m a slow learner, but James makes things simple to understand. Would I attend another BootCamp as a refresher? In a heartbeat!”

Martell’s BootCamp students consistently give the training an enthusiastic thumbs-up, with BootCamp student Sheldon Smollan calling the BootCamp “a genius opportunity.”

Now offered online, Martell’s BootCamp students can save time, money and collapse the lengthy timeframes associated with mastering a new career, all the while receiving face-to-face instruction, the opportunity to ask questions as they go, and being provided a detailed step-by-step plan that takes you from start to finish in the race to achieve online success.

Truly, it’s like having Martell look over their shoulder every step of the way and available to your answer questions, clarify points, address concerns, and more.

So, even if you already have Martell’s top-selling Affiliate Marketer’s Handbook, or listen to his engaging weekly audio newsletter, the Affiliate Buzz, this online course curriculum may be just what you need to propel your online efforts to sure-fire success.

And if you are not familiar with “Martell’s book, buzz and bootcamp” (as they are referred to throughout the industry), you can get everything you need now in the upcoming exciting and informative online BootCamp course.

“I believe my experience at BootCamp was the best investment I’ve ever made in myself, in my family, and in our dreams,” explains BootCamp attendee Denis Vaillancourt. “This opportunity has energized and motivated me to get to the next level of my affiliate marketing career. I’m confident in my future success now because of me BootCamp experience.”

Understanding from students like Vaillancourt the overwhelmingly positive impact the BootCamp has made on their personal, professional, and financial lives, Martell has searched for some time for a way to personally deliver his training “live” to his worldwide audience, but it wasn’t until recently that he found the robust technology he felt truly mirrored the personal training he painstakingly delivers through his off-line BootCamps.

So, just a few weeks back when Martell was exposed to an online conference room that would allow him to present the entire BootCamp using his PowerPoint presentation, live videos and live audio feeds, he knew he found the answer - and the first ever online affiliate marketer’s course curriculum was born.

Structured much like a night-school course, the curriculum will be delivered by Martell “live” in eight classes.

Martell will dedicate each class to covering one of the eight steps outlined in his recently refreshed Affiliate Marketer’s Handbook - “2006″ (THIRD EDITION).

Students can watch via the Internet as Martell personally delivers the powerful tutorials that allow students to watch him as goes step-by-step through all the stages of building a website, finding products to promote, determining which companies to partner with as affiliates, adding keyword-rich content to his site and submitting his site to the search engines.

What’s more, Martell’s online students will participate in live, interactive question and answer sessions, and be on track to complete weekly assignments all of which, when added together, make the online BootCamp experience as effective as the off-line BootCamp experience.

Martell’s online BootCamp attendees will also have unlimited access to 10 hours of professionally recorded LIVE video, which showcases Martell and his students in his hometown, going through an intensive step-by-step instruction, allowing you to review information at your convenience long after the online BootCamp has concluded. It’s like having a virtual library at your fingertips!

And because you’re learning from someone who uses these same eight steps day-in and day-out to maintain his own enviable success, you bypass the steep learning curve associated with affiliate marketing and can be up and running and making money in a matter of weeks, after implementing Martell’s proven eight steps - which have more than withstood the test of time, much like Martell himself.

What this means for you is that you can get your online business up and running faster and you can be assured that, once you implement the eight steps just as Martell details them, you’ll be on your way to making money – be it part-time or full-time – from the comfort of your own home.

Now, you really can take control of your future and your family’s future and steer it in the direction of financial freedom, allowing you to determine how much you work and even how much you make.

So, the big question is: What’s stopping you?

You and your family are worth it and this online training is, as Martell’s students have pointed out, the chance of a lifetime.

All you have to do is grab it.

7 Ways To Promote New Content On Your Website
by Steve M Nash

Welcome to the never-ending world of website promotion.

Never ending? Well, not only must you promote your site when you first create it, but then you must find ways to continue to promote it.
And you must find ways to promote the site’s new content too.
This article covers seven ways you can promote this new site content. It assumes that you understand the basics of website promotion.

It also assumes that you have already done the following to promote your new content:

* Linked to the new content from your home page, site map, newsletter confirmation page, newsletter welcome message etc.
* Created (and used) a new email signature file
* Written a press release.

You have? Okay, let’s begin.

1) Tell Your E-Mail Subscribers

Tell the subscribers (or customers) on your mailing list about your new site content. This is an easy first step to take to promote a site redesign (or to promote new pages on your site).

Your mailing list is your best opportunity to really go into detail about the new content, especially if this new content benefits your subscribers. (It should, by the way.) If you have built a good relationship with your subscribers they might even tell you how good (or bad) the new content is. Always respond positively to this feedback.

2) Tell Your Friends, Family… Anyone

Tell friends, family and others who are in your address book. Make your email personal, and friendly, and just talk about how the new site content now benefits or involves them.

3) Tell The Newsgroups/Forums

Tell the newsgroups and online forums about your new content.

This strategy works best if you are a regular contributor to the forum or newsgroup, and if you refer to the content as part of the forum post (rather than just in the signature file). However, as long as you demonstrate your expertise with your forum contributions, and the new content is relevant, you should get visitors curious to find out more.

Again, if you focus on benefits you have a much better chance of people visiting your site.

4) Tell The Social Networks

The major search engines will find your new content as long as you link to it via your site map, and you link to this site map from your home page. Do that, then ignore the search engines.

Instead, focus on building buzz at the so-called social networking sites like digg.com, del.icio.us and Myspace.

You can encourage social bookmarking by adding appropriate bookmarking links on your site. (You’ll find such ‘add to del.icio.us’ buttons etc. on various blogs or websites or by visiting http://www.AddThis.com .)

However, if your content is outrageous or funny or particularly informative then, chances are, your new content will find its way onto these high-traffic websites anyway. It doesn’t harm to encourage this process, though.

5) Find Other Promotion Sources

Social networking sites are not the only way to promote your site.

For example, webmaster resource sites, freebie sites, and even Britney Spears and Harry Potter fanclub sites may all quite like to know about your new site content, if relevant. Whatever your site is about, there’s a site resource dedicated to it.

Use your imagination, and do a search on Google.

6) Write An Article

Writing articles is a proven method of promoting new content. And there are so many sites willing to accept well-written articles.

You don’t think you know how to write an article? Just write about what you know or do. It isn’t that difficult, and writing articles can generate lots of website traffic. To learn more, either do a search for “how to write an article” at Google or at EzineArticles.com .

7) Don’t Forget Pay-Per-Click Search Engines

Using pay-per-click (PPC) search engines is an ideal way to promote new site content.

You can either add more keywords to a current PPC campaign, driving visitors to your new pages, or you can start a new PPC campaign.

Either way, you should have traffic visiting your new content in a matter of days (or immediately, if you use Google AdWords).

These are the most popular pay-per-click search engines:

- Google Adwords

- Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture)

- MSN Adcenter

That’s it, seven ways to promote new content on your website.

As I say, website promotion is never-ending; there are always more ways of promoting your site’s new content. Just make sure you do something to get people to visit your new web pages, eh!

Oh boy has the rules changed on eBay over the past few months or so we have seen change in management and many unfavorable changes in fee structure and payments policies.

Digital Products on eBay

For instance no more digital products can be sold on auction listing. You can get around this by offering your products on CD as long as you can burn them onto CD and ship them to your customer. This has some advantages because you are less likely to receive refund requests that was a known problems with the sale of downloadable goods. People would order then request a refund once they downloaded your ebooks and software.

The downside is you need to add several products to give value to the CD product and have to charge for shipping costs and spend some time packing the goods for posting.

Before selling digital goods was a simple process. Just set up the auction and send the download link via email after receving confirmation of payment.

Now the only place you can sell digital products is via eBay Classifieds. It costs just under $10 for a month so it is inexpensive to use.

Another change I recently saw is that ‘Buyer’ can no longer receive negative feedback from Sellers!

As quoted when I logged into my eBay account I read the pop up notice:

“Important changes to Feedback

Buyers, you can no longer receive negative or neutral Feedback from sellers.

You should leave honest and accurate Feedback without the fear of negative or neutral ratings.”

Sellers must be fuming. The logic behind this new policy change is to allow the Buyer to express their experience with eBay Sellers without the fear of bad feedback from the Seller. The question is will this new move work in favor of the Buyer or create tension?

Credit Card Payments

There is also discussion that eBay want to make everyone use just PayPal as the only payment processor. Other payment processors like Google Checkout are not permitted to be used for payment choices.

Considering some people do not have a PayPal account either because they have no intention of signing up or have to bear several issues preventing them from withdrawing money from their account depending on their country of residence.

This would definitely alienate a large sector of people. The only options available to them would be mailed checks or bank wires which incur extra bank charges to process.

What is the point of all of these radical proposals?

I’m glad I’m just a buyer and not a seller because this would give me major headaches even though I can readily accept and use PayPal.

A better way to attract more people to using PayPal is to allow for special promotions like discount vouches for shoppers paying via PayPal. Everyone loves to snap up a bargain when available and what better way to encourage regular spending sprees knowing that you’ll get a reduction at the checkout and save even more money!

The fee structure has gone up too much in my opinion. There was no prior concern for losing revenue publicly so why they decided to raise the fee schedule is beyond me.

eBay have been on occassion waived the “insertion fees” or “free gallery picture” on selected days . However you are only given a few days notice to take advantage of these offers so you have to be a regular seller or set up an auction swiftly to take advantage of the offer.

Shipping Charges

I have noticed the steady rise in Sellers jacking up the shipping costs mainly because postal rate are going up ridiculous levels and of course Sellers do not pay fees on shipping.

For instance an item I was interested in was priced at £1.99 Buy It Now but the shipping was £10.99.

How crazy can you get?

It’s bad enough that shipping costs in the UK are rising so much that I just wouldn’t bother to purchase items if the postage cost are unreasonably high. I’d rather take a trip to the high street to get the item myself.

Lots of loopholes to the advantage of the seller. Consider this if there was a problem with your order would you be satisfied with a £1.99 refund when you’ve paid five times as much in shipping costs?

Seller Tips

eBay is looking less attractive than in earlier years. I would definitely look to other online auction sites and most importantly of all get your eBay customers to shop direct from your own website where you can save on fees and have more control over how you conduct your business and follow up with customers.

Don’t get me wrong I love shopping on eBay as it has saved me a personal fortune on the latest game consoles and accessories for my two growing boys.

I must admit I have a recent sway towards Power Sellers because they give me a sense that they have done business for a substantial time and I should have a hassle free shopping experience and the best customer care. Especially if I’m going to purchase more expensive items. Many high street retailers have eBay shops so they can reach the online shopper too and often provide better deals than they could in their brick and mortar business.

With all that said eBay is the most well known of all online auction sites so naturally people go there to find a bargain or popular items that are out of stock in the local high street. So I’m not suggesting that sales will plummet in fact business appears to be booming according to Alexa traffic stats show a slight fluctuation in traffic but it is still very highly visited sites on the Internet. I still shop at eBay but I do get put off when I come across inflated shipping charges and tend to stay away from sellers who don’t have a near perfect feedback rating. The closer to 100% rating the more likely I am to buy from them.

If you’re a seller how do you feel about the changes?
