Here is a short series I put very quickly together so please don’t mind the small glitches but the material can help you make a video that you could upload to Youtube or other video type site that you like.
The screen capture tool is a open source product and so it is free and the video editor is included in Vista or if you have a Microsoft operating system could go and download the editor for free.
I know you heard over and over again that the money is in the list. Kinda gets to you after a while doesn’t it but it is true.
I have an Aweber account and have a very small list of about 75 for free stuff on the Internet.
Just to illustrate the power of the list.
I just sent out my first newsletter to the list and one of the free trials converted 1 sale at $25.00.
I thought WOW why haven’t I been working this list earlier.
The link that was clicked was for: Brazilian Weight Lose Secret - Free Trial which is a physical product but what is most extraordinary is that this is a reoccurring consumable product which means that I will receive $20.00 each month that person is purchasing the product.
All this was because I used Aweber and built a small list.
My suggestion is that you start building a list if you haven’t already.
And one really good product for an autoresponder is Aweber .
Can You Have More Sales, Too?
Helping over 51,000 businesses like yours raise profits and build customer relationships using AWeber’s opt-in email marketing software for over 10 years.

I have been using this tool for a while now and find it helpful in deciding on what PPC keywords I want to bid on at Google.
I am sure if you are doing any Adword advertising you will enjoy seeing what keywords are going for price wise and who are bidding on them and what copy they are using, how many clicks they are receiving and how much each keyword is costing them per day.
Please watch the video and see how simple it is to use PPC Web Spy.

Twitter is a great platform to help you build relationships and brand yourself. However, what do you do when you want to send out a Tweet, but you don’t happen to be home or somewhere else that Tweeting is available?
Enter TweetLater, the Twitter automation application. The two primary essential features of TweetLater are the functions that allow you to post date your Tweets and automatically follow other Twit’s. The only drawback to these features is the tendency of users to ’spam’ their followers, which is what you DON’T want to do.
Remember that the primary purpose of Twitter is that it’s a social network and you want to use it to build relationships. So with TweetDeck, you can choose to ‘auto follow’ all Twit’s who follow you and set up a welcome message for all of your new follower’s. When creating that welcome message it’s imperative that you ditch the links in your message. There is no worse message to send than to welcome your new follower’s with a sales pitch or a promotional gimmick. That isn’t building a very solid relationship at all.
So what DO you put in your auto response? Try thank you! Ditch the marketing persona for a moment, and just be a person. Twitter is a social network, so show your social side and thank the Twit for following you and connecting with you, and let them know you look forward to getting to know them a little better in the future. Show them that there is a real person on the other side of the Tweet, and not just an auto generated response.
But How Do You Set Up Your Auto Response For New Follower’s?
Pretty simple really. First of all you need to set up your TweetLater account at www.tweetlater.com. Once inside your new account you will go to the tab that says +Twitter which means add a new account. It is fairly self explanatory from there.
1. Check the box that says Auto Welcome to automatically welcome new follower’s.
2. Below that is it says Send This Message, which is where you will input your welcome message. Remember, no selling!
3. Below that, you have the choice to automatically follow your new follower’s. This is preference, but it’s always nice to reciprocate. Check the box if you want to automatically follow.
4. You can check the box below to manually approve all reciprocal following first, which might be something you want to consider to avoid following spammers.
5. Below that is an box to check to automatically unfollow those who unfollow you. I would say check this feature simply because you want to be careful of your follower to followee ratio. You don’t want to be following more people really than you have following you.
6. Below that is a final option to have a email ‘digest’ of replies sent to your inbox. That is entirely a personal choice and up to you. Finally, just click save and you should be all set!
As to the post dated Tweet feature, be very careful with them and use them wisely. As I mentioned before, there are some who are getting fed up with TweetLater simply because too many users are forgetting the relationship building aspect of social networking and using it indiscriminately to promote their stuff 24/7.
So, be very careful with phrasing, and don’t inundate your users with sales pitches and generic quotes. Mix it up by adding in a good morning, hope your having a great day, or if it’s near a holiday wish them a happy holiday. You can also send out a link to someone else’s blog with an interesting topic, or something else cool or funny, maybe a YouTube video with a good message.
The point is to remember that while TweetLater can be a very powerful application when used properly, it is essential that you remember the two paramount goals in learning to social network successfully. The first is building relationships and the second is building credibility and trust. If you do both of these things, and focus on quality rather than numbers, you will find you have a very responsive network of Tweep’s that will help you catapult your name and business into something phenomenal.
You know, it’s not that long ago that Ron and I walked in your shoes, or some just like them.
You see, we don’t have a Phd in B.S., but what we do have is the sum of all of our successes and failures, and we are going to share these with you if you are willing to listen, and willing to learn.
You’ll find no hype, and no empty promises here. Just facts that will educate and motivate. I won’t tell you that it is “my way or the highway”. There are all kinds of excellent marketing methods out there. It will be up to you to decide the means that interests, motivates, and is successful for you.
We won’t leave you high and dry. We know that when you succeed, we succeed.
Each new member to 1stPromotion receives a copy of an “Income Accelerator Guide”, outlining exactly what they can do to promote their business on the web . We also provide you with the same resources that we use!
For a very limited time, we’re including a free copy of our “Idiot’s Guide To Web Marketing” , a HUGE 306-page lexicon ebook on everything you wanted to know about web marketing….and then some!
The “Idiot’s Guide To Web Marketing” sells every day on ClickBank for $47.00, but it is yours free when you join us. This is a great reference for any website owner, not just affiliate marketers.
If you know nothing at all about marketing today, don’t expect to “know it all” tomorrow…
Marketing can be a bit of an elephant to swallow, so keep in mind the old joke…
“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”
If it seems overwhelming, put it down for a while push back from the table and revisit this later. If we can build up anything at all in you, let it be confidence!
You won’t catch me quoting web marketing “gurus” or success phenomenon here. While many of them are great, too many are great in their own minds only. I personally have been burned by too many “experts”, and had my wallet emptied by them more times than I care to mention.
The Internet is a daily learning experience. Even the most savvy of marketers must continue to learn on a daily basis. Happily, I am not savvy. I much prefer to be known as downright unpolished.
Yep, add a little hype and polish and I could retire sooner…. probably much sooner. However, I told my wife Donna not that long ago that “Yes, I want to be rich, but I want to be able to sleep at night too!” The tactics used here are not
“guerilla”, just “learned” common sense.
But wait you say…. you can’t learn common sense, it is just in you! Well, yes, you are right. But given the fact that there is too much hype, and too many claims about miracle products from too many self-proclaimed and virtually unknown gurus” and “marketing gods”, we have been amputated of our ability to use our common sense on the web. So, I like to call it a “learned common sense”.
When you are face-to-face, everyone has a built-in “B.S. filter” that will give off all kinds of warnings to warn you of high-pressure, questionable sales pitches. This BS filter allows you to make informed and knowledgeable purchases or commitments. On the web, though, we are frequently blinded to this “gut feeling”, and can’t use our common sense.
The speed and convenience of catch-phrases like: “Activate Your Account Now”, and “Put your payday on Auto-pilot!” have numbed our common sense’s ability to prevail.
If you could, you’d be hearing warnings going off on a lot of offers. What I mean by “learned” common sense is that I will basically allow you to borrow mine for a while.
Think of me as a B.S. filter for you. No, I won’t make the decisions for you, but I will try to show you the truth in what I have faced so far as far as opportunity on the web. A chance for you to learn from my mistakes.
I much prefer a “belly-to-belly” approach to doing any kind of business, but it is a little tougher when we are talking global neighborhoods. If at any time you feel you need assistance, drop me an email to rick@1stPromotion.com and I will
respond to you. Include your phone number and I’ll call you directly.
Remember what I mentioned about not quoting web marketing “gurus” or success phenomenon’s here? Well, it doesn’t mean I won’t be throwing the odd quote in here and there. Here’s one from a winner pretty much anyone in the world can identify with!
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan

How important is it to build your identity online?
You have seen a small sampling of how the the Pro2 approach helps you to maximize your income.
Let’s look at what building a brand on the web means, and the advantages of building brand identity.
McDonalds, Sears, Home Depot, Yahoo!, Ebay, Amazon. All of these stores and web sites have built their brand recognition to the point where they are all pretty much household names.
Having a brand, and promoting your site as a brand helps to build customer recognition and customer confidence. With so many websites out there, building your website around a catchy or memorable name will help your customers find you.
Promoting products as an affiliate is a great opportunity to make some serious money, but the affiliates that are serious about making money know the benefits of appearing to be an independent vendor for any given product.
This not only adds the look of exclusivity, it also builds confidence with your potential buyers that you are professional and gives you the “big company” look.
OK, I know that most of us can’t afford to hire a business identity professional to help us with this…so what can
the average Joe or average Joann do?
Building a brand and doing business on the web as that brand is extremely simple.
By owning your own domain name, and hosting your site independently of the main vendor you can build all of the benefits of brand recognition, buyer confidence and perhaps most importantly, help your customers find you the next time they are shopping!
Which of the following examples would you prefer to do business with?
Both web addresses above go to the same website. Case closed. Pretty simple.
Owning a domain name can help anyone to build a brand. Also as shown in the example above, owning your own domain name entitles you to have a number of email addresses related to that domain name.
Sweet!
Branding on the web can also be extended into so many other aspects, but none will affect a web business more than the domain name. You don’t need to own a high-dollar domain name, but personalized or targeted to your niche can really
help you in your quest for success online.
Did you know: No one ever needs to know that you own a 1stPromotion Integrated Income System?
Why?
The unique branding ability of Pro2 allows you to;
Use your own domain name;
Host your site independently; (no affiliate web address)
Custom email addresses;
Use your own logo;
Input your photo;
Input your contact info;
Your own featured products;
and so much more!
Combine these features with our 6 different color schemes and your 1stPromotion web site will reflect you and your business identity, NOT ours!
Remember, the shorter and the more memorable the domain name the better!
To Your Health, Happiness & Prosperity,
Rick & Ron Davies

Establishing an online income is very exciting. Imagine going to your postal mailbox to find a nice big fat check in it for your online efforts!
Now let’s bump that dream up a bit, and imagine that you go to your postal mailbox and find a nice big fat check for you online efforts EVERY DAY!
You can do it! Literally thousands before you have using this exact same method, and it works whether you are 18 or 88!
Did you know that right now, I receive about 30 checks from various affiliate networks each and every month. That’s like…getting a paycheck every day of the month!
Establishing “multiple sources of income” is one of the most exciting opportunities available.
Let us show you how easy it can be to do it!
Imagine getting a $100.00 check in the mail.
Not bad eh?
Now imagine getting 30 checks for $100.00 each.
Even better!
Now… if you imagine that some of those checks are four or five figures, you can see how we are talking very serious money.
It’s that old adage;
“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”
Nothing better than having multiple baskets of golden eggs, is there!
DID YOU KNOW:
Not only is using the 1stPromotion Integrated Income System like signing up as an affiliate with every single vendor in the ClickBank Marketplace. There are dozens of other hot affiliate programs and products built right into the Pro2 system that you may choose to join to really explode you monthly revenue, all from the same site!
Remember that idea of a paycheck each day? Sounding more like a reality isn’t it?
These are just some of the great affiliate programs integrated into the Pro2 system:
SFI - Strong Future International (formerly Six Figure Income)
TrafficSwarm
Bryan Winter’s Push-Button Publishing
IMC Internet Marketing Center (brainchild of the late Corey Rudl)
Ken Evoy’s 5 Pillar Program (SiteSell & more)
Native Remedies
NitroMarketing
Dropship Wholesalers
Veretekk
and many more!
Here’s a neat feature! If you are a member of a great affiliate program, simply use our “Suggest A Product” or “Suggest A Program” link and we’ll add your affiliate program to the directory!
And when we join, we join through YOUR link.
If your affiliate program is a 2-tier program, just imagine how many second tier members you can gain by simply submitting your program and being approved!
Every single 1stPromotion member will then have the option to join your program right through the private Pro2 Member’s Area!
I bet you’re thinking; “So far this sounds exciting, but with a product this great, won’t my site look the same as thousands of other Pro2 websites out there? Isn’t this one of those “cookie cutter” sites the search engine at Google penalizes so severely, ruining any chance I might have of a good search engine position?”
Absolutely Not!
Although we do have thousands of members BUT, no two Pro2 sites are the same. Your site is one of a kind.
This again sets Pro2 apart from the sea of low-tech imitations that seem to be everywhere you look. We were the first, and are still the #1, and for good reason :>)
Why? Because as a Pro2 member, you have complete control over the entire content of your store.
This is in stark contrast to other ClickBank malls which only offer a cloned “parking page” . We help you break out of the boring turnkey look and feel of those cookie cutter sites that seem to clutter the web. Not only do you have total control over the look and feel of your site, but you also have total control over;
ALL of the content; (Text and images)
ALL of the Meta Tags; (These are for search engines)
ALL of the products; (actual product images and descriptions at the click of your mouse) and
ALL of the affiliate programs on your website.
We put it in a search engine-friendly package where each member controls;
Over 2 dozen affiliate system ID’s;
Page title;
Store name;
Page content;
Color scheme;
All links;
Graphics & Images;
Products;
Affiliate programs;
Meta keyword tags;
Meta description tags;
and much more.
If you love the idea of putting ClickBank and optionally over 2 dozen other affiliate systems like SFI, IMC, PBP and more to work for you, but don’t wish to promote certain products or product categories, the Pro2 System is the answer for you!
With Pro2 you can choose to display a ClickBank Simple Search Box, a complete ClickBank Marketplace Search Portal, or no search feature at all!
No Need To Display Categories Or Products That You Do Not Wish To!
There are terrible rumors flooding the Internet about affiliates being robbed of hard-earned commissions. While I believe this may occur on some minor frequency, our testing and experience has identified that it just isn’t as bad as many
would have you believe.
Truth is, the bearers of the “gloom & doom” of affiliate link theft can usually be found to be thoughtfully including a link to a product that they claim will eliminate the theft problem completely.
Let me explain why by using a situation and challenge that I used at a recent affiliate marketing conference I attended.
While speaking with a small group of fellow marketers on the perceived threat of ClickBank affiliate link theft, I put the challenge to each and every one of them.
I challenged them to walk out the door of the hotel and find any one on the street that wasn’t attending the conference that knew of ClickBank. I told them if they could find anyone that knew what ClickBank was, I would pay them $100.00
By the end of the weekend following countless interrogations of restaurant staff and passers-by, my $100.00 was still safely tucked away in my wallet.
You see, the web has billions of potential customers. These are the potential buyers from your website. ClickBank has only about 200,000 affiliates. Pretty safe bet that most people out there don’t know what an affiliate url is, let alone how, or even why to cheat it.
Even with the absolute BEST anti-affiliate link theft software out there, there is no way to completely eliminate ClickBank link theft.
Why? Because as soon as you transfer the customer from your site to ClickBank’s, the affiliate has no control over what is displayed or revealed in the web address or the pages to follow. Most ClickBank affiliates know how to cheat a ClickBank affiliate url, but don’t do it anyway.
But there are the unscrupulous few out there that will, but they are the exception and little can be done to deter them.
Did You Know? 1stPromotion has still elected to protect all of your search and browse links from affiliate theft? Even though we know that link theft is more a fallacy than a threat, we have integrated multiple security features to maximize your link security and your “feel-good factor”.
These security measures are also included in all of 1stPromotion’s search boxes and plug-ins.
To Your Health, Happiness & Prosperity,
