StumbleUpon BlackHat Trick

Internet Business November 30th, 2007 Say Something (0)

People can be mad about this or whatever but it does work, sometimes. Use at your own risk. For the people that read, “blackhat”, please do not get all worked up. That term does not neccessarily mean it is illegal. This is a very simple way to drive traffic to your site and of course you are expoiting the system, so its not illegal. After I show you how to do this, I will show you how to automate it.

First, if you have not signed up with stumbleupon.com, go now and get your free account and then activate your toolbar. The site is pretty simple and should take you around 20 minutes or so to figure everything out if you have never been there before.

The manual way to get traffic is to mutually stumble a person’s site. You basically stumble a site you do like and they stumble yours back. To find people who want to do this just head over to: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=105

Blackhat Stumble

Before anything, I will say that it does not matter which method you use if your site has poor quality content. If you are just promoting affiliate programs, I would suggest that you write a very high quality report and publish that on a neat and clean .html page. The whole purpose of stumble upon is to get that “thumbs up” for your site or post so more people want to look at it. So make sure your content has a high percieved value before starting this manual method.

To sum up, this method has intentions of bribing other people to stumble your site and give you a thumbs up. You will need a bonus to give them after they’ve stumbled your site. Bonuses such as free reports, software, videos, scripts or ebooks.

Now the real trick here is to automate it. This will make this manual method explode and drive some good traffic to your site. Here is how it works…

1. You download and install the script to your server
2. You create a bonus that people can give away as a bribe
3. You then ask people to stumble upon a few pages on your website but no more than 10 pages.
4. After stumbling, they submit thier stumbleupon username through that form from the script.
5. The script then crawls thier stumbleupon.com page to verify that indeed they did stumble your site.
6. Then after all that is verified, you then are redirected to the bonus page for thier hard work!
You will need a php and MysQL database to install the script. If you don’t know how to do this, then outsource this task to someone for like $15. The link for that script is http://www.suhack.com

Killer Google Adwords Workshop - Simon Leung

Internet Business November 11th, 2007 Say Something (0)

I had the privilege to attend Simon’s Google adwords workshop this passed weekend and I will say that this has been the most productive seminar I have went to this year. I was able to meet a bunch of people who were just amazing and just had such great content to share. I learned how to effectively create and fire out some some great adwords campaigns plus be able to correctly build those “Google friendly” landing pages, so I wont get slapped! I can not however disclose any of the content revealed there but stay tuned for my case studies where I “show” you how I am using those strategies with my own projects.

Seeing that I was also honored with the inclusion to Simon’s Apprentice program, I was able to meet some great people who were just willing to share their insights and advice with me. Below are some shots with everyone that I met and am currently learning from.

Me and Simon hangin’ out after a session. I had such a great time meeting new people and networking.

Sitting next to John Guanzon for only 10 minutes or so, I was able to take my unfocused mind and put together a plan for my next project. John gave me some simple advice that basically paved the road for me.

Getting to know Leo De Leon was just a great honor. He is currently helping and teaching me the ropes plus inviting me to help on some of his projects. It is just a huge learning experience that I will appreciate.

The “Miami Kids”, one of the best Graphic designers for the internet marketing industry! Robert Secades and Daniel Arzuaga. I currently got these guys hookin my Myspace page, finally, up and soon this blog as well as my other blogs.

Huey Lee from www.MarketingOctane.com, awesome and knowledgeable person ready to go, and on fire! hehe

Mr. JV himself, rippin’ it up and giving us a show! Nothing but real person here, extremely helpful and as always making all these people my friends.

There is too much info I would care to share about what I learned and experienced at this workshop. I feel as if this is a starting point for me, and my focus level has driven me to start my “first” project and given many ideas for others. I will always say this, if you ever get the chance to head to a seminar, DO IT! This will always be a good thing, the networking alone is worth ten times the amount you will spend on your trip.

How to Write an Ebook

Internet Business November 9th, 2007 Say Something (0)

The hardest part of writing is the first sentence.

When you look at the whole project, it seems like an impossible task. That’s why you have to break it down into manageable tasks. Think of climbing a mountain. You are standing at the foot of it and looking up at its summit vanishing into the clouds. How can you possibly scale such an immense and dangerous mountain?

There is only one way to climb a mountain ? step by step.

Now think of writing your ebook in the same light. You must create it step by step, and one day, you will take that last step and find yourself standing on the
summit with your head in the clouds. The first thing you have to do, as if you actually were a mountain climber, is to get organized. Instead of climbing gear, however, you must organize your thoughts. There are some steps you should take before you begin. Once you’ve gone through the following list, you will be ready to actually begin writing your ebook.

Why Write an eBook?

Internet Business November 7th, 2007 Say Something (0)

It’s not true that everything that has been said has already been written. Since that unfortunate axiom came into use, the whole universe has changed. Technology has changed, ideas have changed, and the mindsets of entire nations have changed.

The fact is that this is the perfect time to write an ebook. What the publishing industry needs are people who can tap into the world as it is today - innovative thinkers who can make the leap into the new millennium and figure out how to solve old problems in a new way. Ebooks are a new and powerful tool for original thinkers with fresh ideas to disseminate information to the millions of people who are struggling to figure out how to do a plethora of different things.
Let’s say you already have a brilliant idea, and the knowledge to back it up that will enable you to write an exceptional ebook. You may be sitting at your computer staring at a blank screen wondering, “Why? Why should I go through all the trouble of writing my ebook when it’s so impossible to get anything published these days?
