A while back I had met Chris Jensen and he asked me if I wanted to do an article
for you as a guest post on his blog. I excitedly agreed, and here is the very
unique content that I have hooked him up with. It’s all about being unique, right
Chris?

In using PLR effectively one needs to first understand what PLR is. PLR is
“Private Label Rights” and what this means is that you have rights to change the
text and use the content any way you wish. This includes rewriting the text, not
rewriting the text, changing the links to your own, and you can even change the
title of the information. Basically, you have author rights to anything that you do
to it.

In the past, I was using PLR effectively by just re-arranging the text a little and
submitting it to an article directory, to my blog or generated some kind of
giveaway from it. I have found that is no longer as easily done.
As more and more of the internet is growing at a frenzied pace there are
situations that come about. In particular, along with the growth you are seeing
more and more people trying to make a living online. That shrinks the availability
of any PLR content that is currently out there. So much; in fact, it is hard to just
get a piece of PLR and change up the sentences a little and BAM! you have an
article.

I am going to share a little secret with you today, I hope you take it and use it.
Here it is, take the PLR content and read it… After you read it, write a similar
article using your own words. When you do that, you are going to own that
content like nobody else can. There will be no article submission directory that
will deny your submission if you wrote it. You will have your name on it, and its
all yours… forever!

I think too much of the internet lately has become passé to generating unique
content, to the point of the content not making any sense. I was involved with a
company that provided content to a blog I was posting to a while back, and I can
say it was crap at best! I wanted to change the wording so bad that I just
stopped using it. Now, I am sure there are content providers out there that are
using PLR effectively, but I would rather own it, and kill it on the backend. There
is of course going to be more work involved with my secret, but what a difference
it will make in your online presence if you just stop whining and make it happen…
lol

It’s been a pleasure sharing this with you, and I hope that you enjoyed what I
have spoken about today. Leave a comment for Chris telling him how much you
liked my article. If you like my style and feel I might have something else good to
say, why don’t you head over to my blog at http://askclintanderson.com when you
get done with Chris’ site and leave a comment, tell me what you want to know
about internet or affiliate marketing wise, and I will do my best to make that
happen for you…

To Your Success,

Good Evening!

I was just doing some things over at Squidoo, and I found out that there have been some very inprotant changes that I tought that you might be interested in knowing about.  Some of the changes are going to make your lenses look a lot better, while some of the changes have to do with what they are now allowing ( some would say that they are getting a little stricter).

First off, you can now make your lenses more appealing by applying different themes.  Here are three lenses of mine where I have implemented the new themes (backgrounds/colors):

Discount Coach Purses – Purple People Eater Theme

The Office on NBC – Paintball Theme

How to Make the Perfect Mojito – Gone Camping Theme

As you can see, these themes are nice, and they really help ut with making your lens look more appealing to your visitors.  Now, every single lens will not look exactly the same, and you can make each lens sort of stick out among your competition.  In addition to the ones shown above, they have also put out five other themes in addition to the original default theme.

Squidoo has also done away with the discovery tool.  I am not sure if this will help or hurt your lens.  I know that I have used it about 50% of the time, so I guess that it all depends on your personal preferences.

In addition to these great options, here are some things that have made Squidoo a little more “stricter.”  First of all, they are no longer allowing porn.  This does not affect me, but there are a lot of marketers that have made a lot of money in this niche that are going to be upset to see this go.  Squidoo has also done away with a lot of their topics to submit lenses to.  For a full list of topics that are no longer available, check out www.squidoo.com/squiddont.  Last but not least, Squidoo has put new linits on overly promotional lenses.  They have decided to put limit to the number of outbound links to the same domain that you can have on a lens.  Fortunately, you can still have nine outbound links to the same domian.  This is a lot better than a lot of other sites out there, so I am okay with it!

In my personal opinion, the changes that Squidoo has made are going to be very beneficial.  I am really not a fan of overly promotional lenses, so this does not affect me, and as you can see, I am already incorporating the new colorful themes!

If you have any questions about internet marketing using Squidoo, please let me know!  I will be more than happy to help!

Affiliate Marketing is by far one of the easiest ways to make money online. It is a revenue sharing business relationship between the affiliate who agrees to promote the products or services, and the merchant who offers them.

The affiliate advertises the merchant’s products and services and gets a commission for every successful referral. Every time a customer is referred to the merchant’s site through the affiliate’s efforts, and makes a purchase, the affiliate gets a share of the profit. No payment is due to the affiliate until successful results are realized. Compensation is based on either number of visits, registrant, or commission for each sale.

Affiliate Marketers can earn a few bucks to thousands of dollars with affiliate programs. The opportunity to earn in affiliate marketing can only be limited by the affiliate’s determination, creativity and strategy. It is a brilliant way to earn online, and you do not have to produce your own product or service to make a buck. By advertising your merchant’s products passionately, you get more in return. Profits in affiliate marketing usually start small but can get larger as the campaign starts to build up steam.

There are many things that an affiliate marketer can do to maximize their profits. If you ask any affiliate marketer how many affiliate checks they would want to receive, they will most likely want to get as many as possible. Some affiliate checks are small, amounting to nothing more than $25. While others are large and can easily reach the thousands and even more. Over time, these affiliate checks may build up to a really impressive amount. However, making a fortune in affiliate marketing is not instant. You must be willing to put in enough work and effort as well. You have to use your imagination to find more ways to attract more web traffic that can convert to sales for the merchant and profit for you as well.

How many affiliate checks do you want to receive? Most affiliate marketers will enthusiastically reply that they want to receive as many affiliate checks as possible. However, is it as easy as it sounds? Does joining many affiliate marketers guarantee more affiliate checks that really amount to something? The answer is No. Most affiliate marketers assume that joining multiple affiliate programs is a wise option. Many people think that it is very easy to join affiliate programs and there is really nothing to lose, so many affiliate marketers are tempted to join as many programs they can get their hands on. Thus, they fail to give their affiliate programs enough attention and work that they ought to receive. The maximum potential of the affiliate programs are not realized and the resulting income from these programs will almost certainly be disappointing.

The best way to achieve multiple streams of income is to concentrate on one affiliate program first. Choose a product or service that you can promote passionately. Pick a product in which you have complete trust. The best products and services to promote are those that you use personally. Your prospects will be able to sense your sincerity whenever you promote a product that you have experienced. This will greatly enhance your credibility as well as your product’s marketability and will really encourage your visitor to purchase the product or service.

As soon as your first affiliate program is making a reasonable profit then you can proceed to joining another affiliate program and repeat the process. “Too much, too soon” is a common pitfall in affiliate marketing. Joining too many affiliate programs simultaneously in the hopes of having multiple streams of income simply does not work.

Focus first on one affiliate program and work on it so that it makes a good profit. Then, go find another promising program and give it your best effort. The question should not be how many affiliate checks you want to receive, but how many “high-paying” affiliate checks can you receive. The answer lies in your determination to succeed and determination to maximize your earning potential. With the right tools, the right actions, and perseverance you can definitely make a good profit out of affiliate marketing.

I hope that you are able to use this to your advantage.  When I first started out, I joined every affiliate program that I could find.  This is why it took me just over a year to start seeing profits.  If you take this advice and start out building one campaign at a time you will become much more successful.  If you have any questions, please let me know!
