Ebook Store System

I have a domain name that I would one day love to use to develop an ebook site selling ebooks and giving away free ones too. I was wondering how I could do this project and I stumbled upon this product while I was surfing on warriorforum.

This product is called the Turn Key E-Book Store and it is a fully automated complete, ready to go bookstore which also allows you to make money from Amazon and Google Adsense at the same time. On top of that this product allows you to create an instant product download ecommerce store that comes inbuilt with a shopping cart system that can be fully administered through an easy to use web-based store admin area.

If you would want to create unlimited categories to your own ebook store or check your customer’s orders, you could do so with this system. Like many other serious web masters, you wouldn’t want to miss out on sending email newsletters to your subscribers, informing them of the latest products and the latest discounts and promotion that you may have for them.

This ebook store system also allows you to tweak the meta tags and best of all through the admin area so that you will get your site highly ranked by the search engine. Of course, this is not as simple as it seems and you might need to work on this over the long run.

I plan to use this system iif I cant find a better one as I continue doing my research. On top of that, I too will have full Master Resale Rights to sell this product after purchasing it. And ain’t that cool?

I have been doing some research lately on membership sites and how one can build a membership site to earn some good income from selling the memberships and then doing affiliate marketing to the community that you have already built.

I stumbled upon several available membership sites that look quite appealing and seems to offer great value. It would be great if I had loads of cash to actually join these sites and then provide a review on the sites and how they are faring with their current membership and the cool tools they have there. I will be doing that in the near future, I hope, but for now, suffice with these links of some cool sites that you might want to take a look at.

First up is Wealthy Affiliate membership site. This is a site that was built by two guys by the name of Kyle and Carson.

Frankly, I am quite impressed by what these 2 guys have to offer and this is one site that I would like to explore further by joining and finding out the real value that they are providing to the internet marketing and affiliate marketing community. This site also provides its members some cool tools for one to check on the best selling products on clickbank. It sure help affiliate marketers save some quality time here with just a few clicks of the mouse.

The second site that I would like to highlight is SureFireWealth with the tagline “Knowledge is Power”. This site promises to give you a whole load of contents for you to resell under your own brand name plus the information on how you can do it too! Isn’t that just great? I thought that this site looks so promising from the outside. Nevertheless, for you to have access to all the coolest stuff on this site, you need to sign up as a gold member and all the nuggets in internet marketing awaits you in there such as MP3s, movies, PLRs and the likes that any internet marketer would welcome with open arms. The interesting thing about this site is that it also promotes other membership sites and of course we know that there are commission payouts if there is a sale but there is quite a number that I recognise too.

If you want to join a membership site that promises to teach you how to create you own membership site, you might want to check out Membership Millionaire. This site at the moment is allowing anyone to join for free. I guess its just one of those tricks out there to get your email address. But with the loads of free information that they promise to give you for free, why not give it a try? You might just find something inside there that might just turn you into the next Internet Marketing Entrepreneur of the year. Well, thats my dream anyway…heh.

After going through all this sites, I was wondering whether I should take this route and start building my own membership site around a topic that I would be comfortable with. You see, I do have other interest besides internet marketing and that includes guppy breeding and education in general. I was just wondering then that there could be a huge potential with so many other topics that one can build a membership around and that it would definitely attract a sizable number of interested people to your site if you could just offer them something that they are looking for.

If building a membership site is your cup of tea, you might want to check out this software that has a name that resembles so closely a founding father of sociology and that software is non other but amember. This software alllows for integration to so many CMSes that I wonder what CMS it can’t integrate with. It is quite a versatile software and it claims to integrate well with the likes of Joomla and Drupal, 2 of my favorite CMSes.

I stumbled upon a video that teaches you how to build a membership site using Joomla and several Joomla components that are FREE! I wasn’t sure that building a membership site for free was possible until I saw this Build a Membership Site video at HowIDid.com and I would say that it is quite a nifty idea to start with Joomla as this beast keeps on growing and growing with components popping out every other day.

Ok. Before I end this post, I just want to share with you guys my findings when I did some research on the warrior forum on membership sites. I wanted to know what are some of the favorite membership sites that are being used by members of warrior forum whom I think are a bunch of great people. Well, without further delay, here is the result. I found out that there were quite a number of recommendations to Dennis Becker’s membership site called earn1kaday. Some warriors are saying that the information contained within that site is worth more than the cost of joining the site on a monthly basis and Dennis charge a sum of $39.95 a month. I would leave you guys to read what he offers on that site. I have read his sales letter and there are some irresistable offers in there which you wouldn’t want to miss.

I think joining membership sites is a good way for you to jump start your internet marketing career. You will be able to talk to people inside who have been at it for years and it would be great if you could get some of them to do Joint ventures with you.

I have realised that one of the secrets to success in internet marketing is actually doing JVs with other like minded people. If you can’t do it with the so called internet marketing gurus, don’t fret, get other people whom you have helped previously or who are just willing to help you to do a JV with you. Be nice. And be genuinely nice. That will more or less guarantee you a better chance for success in making money online. Its all possible and it will be made much easier with people supporting and helping you.

Well thats all for now regarding membership sites. I will update this post if I ever find something useful related to this topic.

Happy Surfing Marketers!

Adwords Tracking Software

A friend of mine introduced me to this software for affiliate marketers called Google Nemesis. The first time I visited their landing page, I saw that the owner of the site and the product has definitely done a lot of work on the product and believes in the product’s effectiveness. He claims that you could make up to $1456 a day with this “Push Button Software” and that this software took 9 months in development time and cost $60,000. Who is this guy anyway and when was this software launched? He is non other than Chris McNeeney who came out with the #1 bestseller on the net, Day Job Killer and another product called Google Assassin. The most recent product was launched on Tuesday, July 8th, at 3 pm EST.

I did went through the landing page and found myself bombarded with very optimistic claims and of course I wanted to know how much it would have cost for me to have this product which I thought is a one time buy. I realised that yit is a subscription based service and it cost $77 a month for you to have Google Nemesis. You might be wondering what nemesis means. It is actually a Greek goddess unsuccessfully pursued by Zeus, that is if you are looking for the origins of the name or word Nemesis. In simple terms it means a source of harm or ruin and in this case targeting Google. I dont really think that Google will fall with the advent of this software but it could do some damage to Google if the software really does work according to what it claims.

What does this software do It claims to actually clone and mimic some of the most wealthy and super successful affiliates who forms the underground group of people that make tons of money using secret formulas and complex systems. This is about to change according to the maker of this software as this software is able to automate the whole process and claims to allow you to reap as much profits as possible in the least amount of time. Ask yourself what would you do to as an affiliate marketer if you would want to make tons of cash? First, you would try to find the most desired product out there that you know would have a high chance of being bought. You would have to research the product and the niche that it is occupying to see whether there are hungry buyers waiting to pounce on the offering. Next, you would have to research the keywords that would bring you the traffic with dollars in their pockets and the real intention of buying that particular product. Then, you will have to do some testing using Adwords and see whether your ad copy works like how it is suppose to. Well, to cut it short, the software is suppose to be able to do that for you with the push of a button.

It really sounds like something too good to be true but before you say Bullpoo, lets look at some of the reviews on the product itself. There are actually “HitchHike” marketers who promote this product and make their whole landing page look like the original product landing page. This is one cool tactic actually, if you can’t make the product, hitch a ride! He provides access to his forum if you buy through him and intends to limit the group to just 100. Further research led me to this video that explains how the software is able to help you in your affiliate marketing mission. You might want to look at this review that appeared on someon’s lens on Squidoo. It seems that everyone is promoting this software. :p

Anyway, I did some research on Warrior Forum to see what the guys in there are thinking about the software. Most ware well aware of how Chris actually does always get off with a bang on his products and the fact that there is an affiliate war going on to promote the product. Most have some kind words to say about the product but I guess you would be interested to know about the flip side too right? The main 2 flaws that one particular marketer found that put him off was that the price of the software was way too high at $77 a month and which he claims put the product out of reach for 70% of the affiliate marketers out there. Secondly, there is a high chance of your privacy being breached in relation to the campaigns that you are doing as the campaign information might just be stored on Chris X’s servers.

Well folks, you might then be wondering if there is an alternative for this software at a much reduced price. You might want to check out Keyword Vision which is much much cheaper and claims to perform as well too and which sits on your desktop too.

I hope you find this post helpful guys.
