I stumbled upon this tool and am I glad to have found it. I have always wondered how my sites would fare for a particular keyword in other countries besides my own country that is Singapore. Sometimes the keyword that you rank highly for could only be so because you are located in that country in which you resided.

I think that Google index a particular site high up in the rankings depending also on where the backlinks are coming from. If its mainly from sites that are within your country, then you would be ranking high when someone who searched for you  is from your country.

For better grasp of how you are faring in the Search Engine Placement rank in other countries, try using this brilliant tool.

I always do a search on blogging matters and somehow or rather I always come back to this site by Lorelle VanFossen.

The blog contains some of the best tips on blogging and matters related to blogging. It even has its own Do-it-Yourself SEO Guide.

Also, not to forget the post on Wordpress Plugins that help monetise your blog. That was pretty useful to me indeed.

Lorelle has published her own book called “Blogging Tip’s: What Bloggers Won’t Tell You About Blogging”. I haven’t read the book but would definitely love to get my hands on that book if I have the opportunity soon.

I hope you enjoy going through her blog as all that useful info that has been very helpful for me.

Mass Control

I don’t know this guy but somehow the tagline Mass Control sounds so enticing that I went to take a look at the site and what its offering. I found that the blog offers some cool videos and information that I think could benefit anyone out there who is trying to make it in internet marketing. Here is his site, Mass Control.

Frank really make internet marketing sound so simple. I guess that for someone like him who have made his millions from internet marketing, it might be just plain simple. Go through his blog and take a look at his videos. You might just go through some “Duh” moments and start banging your head against the wall wondering why you did not act upon the stuff you already know. Thats the challenge actually, yourself. :p

It has happened to me a few times and I think that it is something that I have to remind myself often so that I do not fall prey to what I call the “I need to have something Special” syndrome in doing business. Often, people do not start or take action in their business because they believe that they need to have a “competitive edge” over others and therefor need to come up with a product that is not only unique but resoundingly different and distinctive from what the competitors are offering.

Try not be overtly concerned with being totally unique and start offering our product to the market as soon as possible. The later you start offering your product to the market, the harder it gets as potential customers that could have been yours turn to your competitors as they have found them first. So, start offering your product to the market and allow your customers to evaluate your product and improve from there. Your customer’s feedback is valuable and can be used to further make improvements to the current offering.

Your sales page is also crucial to sales. A good sales page is not only able to convince your customers into purchasing your product, it can also offer other subtle but equally important messages such as your credibility and seriousness in your business. Try to be concise and state the value that your product offers to the client in a simple and easy to understand language.

The market is big enough for everyone. Take a bite of the market and take small bites at a time. Before you know it, you would have a sizable chunk of the pie as you continue to improve and excel in your business.

I came across an ebook that has been named “The Really Simple Method”. I went through the Rhodes Brothers John and Matt Rhodes site IMSimple and found it useful and full of good information on Internet Marketing. I think the ebook is a simple tool for them to market the products that they are currently promoting a club membership which offers Master Resale Rights of info products that one can resell. The price is nice too. Just $7.77.

I am not promoting their product for them but I would just like to share the ebook that they have come up with. It argues against afffiliate marketing and conversely encourages you to come up with your own products and start selling them. They emphasize total control over your business and also to stop working for others and start working for yourself.

Here is the link.

Do not be surprised. People do pay for information that they themselves can get for free off the web. But what are the reasons people pay for these kind of information? Do they have too much money or do they just like enriching others? It seems that the answers to this questions can be found when you yourself purchase something off the web.

Although the information on the web is free, there is no one place where you can get all the answers except of course if someone bothers to actually compile these sites and little information and structure it in such a way that it makes it easier for anyone to understand. That in itself is value adding the product and if it makes someone else’s life easier, then the person who actually put all the work should be renumerated.

Sometimes, we are not just paying the person for compiling and saving us time. We are also paying them for entertaining us. Yes, the info could have been really generic but if they were able to able to apply new ways of expressing the same message and to do it in an entertaining manner, whose complaining right?

Furthermore, the promotion of a particular product requires time and effort and of course creativity. Marketing is something that sometimes entertains us and of course it might sometimes irritate us. But it takes time, effort and money to really pull off a successful marketing campaign. I guess, thats why people sometimes pay for products that most of the time they don’t need. They buy it because they are curious about it and purchasing that particular product could be the only way they could satisfy that itch. Alls well for the marketer and the buyer right?

Another twist that is done to the information that we often find free on the web is the fact that sometimes the tips are represented and hoo haa’ed as secrets. Secrets that only a few know they claim. Of course these claims is usually not supported but how many people actually question all these claims and something that sounds really secretive usually gains the attention of most people and if it is related to something that they have been searching for or is applicable to their current life, desire, problem, etc, it is with more likelihood that they will purchase the product.

So, for anyone out there who is reading this post, stop doing nothing and start producing information products that might just make you a lil bit richer. Its not impossible. It is truly possible and you just might need to wear that thinking cap right from now on and start entertaining people with your new found knowledge from this post.

If you happen to make some money, remember the people around you. ehem…ehem…me. :p

I realised that some of the best info on the web is free, However, that begs a question of why do people still pay for information like ebooks and subscribing to newsletters and the likes?

Well, I guess what people are actually paying for is the time and effort by the author of the book compiling the book itself and putting in valuable personal thoughts on the subject matter. That takes a lot of time and compiling and structuring information into a coherent and comprehensible form is something that makes paying the author, well, worth it.

However, if you have all the time in the world to compile information from the internet and your local library, do take a look at sites such as WikiHow and article directories like EzineArticles. These offer some of the best information in light hearted and easily digestable form. If you want to know other peoples thoughts and experiences, you would want to join a forum or two that has thousands of members and huge support and experts in the field. Reading blogs could be great too and don’t forget sites that are so simple in design but huge in information like this internet marketing site, IMSimple.

I think the above 3 sources of info could be a good start in your search for that all important piece of information that could just seal the deal and make your life a whole lot better.

Wishing you all the best in your search for the best info.
