Harvey Segal has done something quite fascinating – a viral ebook that’s free, and the affiliate gets 100% of the sales on products inside and yet everyone wins.
The book is not just free, it’s a good read on the subject of viral products. But it’s the details of his viral plan I found fascinating. The ebook describes how to make money with viral ebooks; in fact, the ebook itself is an example of that viral plan, while also explaining the viral plan, while BEING the viral plan, and so on and on, like some sort of Escher painting…
But to cut to the chase:
The book is a great introduction to viral ebooks in general.
The complete plan he talks about in there is powerful – so powerful, I was sending off my payment as I was finishing the ebook.
It also includes a discount at the end for all the goodies inside so well presented I bought them right away
Affiliates get 100% of the sales of those goodies (which are well worthwhile in themselves).
And keep a watch out – I predict this will be a powerful new way to upsell.

Hey, Boomers!
Here are the top five reasons why most blogs donʼt last. Hopefully, new bloggers will keep some of these points in mind when beginning their blogging career.
1. Blogging consistently is NOT easy.
It certainly is easy to set up a Blogspot account or even install Wordpress, but unfortunately, most blogs donʼt go much further than that. Many people find that writing informative and original articles consistently is difficult, and they are right – it is difficult. However, most experienced bloggers will tell you that it takes a while to build up that elusive blogging rhythm – the one in which you easily weave together insightful and unique posts.
2. New blogs see little to no financial return, initially.
Many people start blogging because they see John Chow [http://www.johnchow.com] and Problogger [http://www.problogger.com] pulling thousands each month from Adsense. These superbloggers make it look easy, but the fact remains, John Chow and Darren Rowse have been blogging for YEARS. It is extremely rare for a blog to make very much money before its three month mark.
3. Consistent web traffic takes time to build. Be patient.
I’ll admit itʼs hard to feel motivated to blog when you know not many people are reading your work. However, this early stage of blogging is arguably the most crucial. The first three months are the time to show everyone that despite not having tons of comments or a large number of RSS subscribers, you write interesting, original, link-worthy articles.
4. Lack the passion? Wave your blogging career goodbye.
Many new “make money online” blogs have popped up over the past few months. How many of those people actually make money online and are passionate about it? John Chow didnʼt start writing about how to make money online exclusively – he initially just used his blog to talk about his passions, only one of which was making that online dough. My passion is about personal development and motivational self help and only since I have been blogging has my passion for blog development emerged. Now, blogging is one of my favorite topics to write about.
5. Time management must be practiced seriously.
Itʼs no secret – most people would love to quit their day job and blog full time. So, they start blogging but find that, like anything, it takes a considerable amount of time. Add that to their already busy lives and it is something that often gets put off and eventually abandoned. When anyone adds blogging to their busy life, they must start practicing time management much more seriously. I find that it doesnʼt take me much longer than 20-40 minutes to write a solid post, so I make sure to carve out that time at least 5x per week. Just like going to the gym, blogging takes months of hard work to see any noticeable benefits. In my 2 months of blogging, only recently am I starting to see these benefits – including financial return, people linking to my posts, as well as some subscribers, readers, etc.
In conclusion, the number one lesson I have learned from blogging is that hard work over time pays off. With time comes experience and respect. I respect people who have been blogging for at least six months – that takes some serious dedication. The longer you have been blogging, the more people will see you as an expert or authority about your blog topics. There is a lot of power in published work. Blogging has taught me that to see measurable results in ANYTHING, you must work hard, stay ultra-dedicated, and perhaps most importantly, be patient.
“Baby Boomers – the generation that changed the world…and then forgot all about it.”
Hey, Boomers! You really need to read and wrap your head around this concept to be successful online!!
Ok…here’s a totally radical thought.
Could you imagine movies at the theater…being FREE.
And I mean totally 100% free – no catch.
Believe it or not…this is being considered.
Some chains are considering making movies free – but charging a lot more for the concessions.
Just imagine how this could change business…
I have long talked about the Power of ‘FREE’.
Once a marketing gimmick — now ‘free’ is a full fledged economy of it’s own.
Lets look at a little known company called GOOGLE. Heard of them?
But have you noticed how virtually EVERYTHING they do – is FREE. Think about this for a moment. This clearly is no accident.
How can they do this and yet still be worth billions?
The simple truth is – they funnel us consumers in for free – and then introduce a selection of paid services (Adwords for example).
Giving away something for FREE at first -
is a key strategy you need to understand and implement.
But does giving away something for free mean it takes longer to make money online?
I’d have to say yes. It took me 6 months before I made anything.
But does this strategy work?
Undoubtedly 100% YES.
I realize I go on about this time and time again – but I still see a TON of people online try and SELL immediately.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
Delivering VALUE first – in the form of something that is free – is the way to grow your business as we enter the 2nd decade of the 21st century.
Free is the future — this is how to create and grow a business. And you will make your money by upselling related products/services — but you need to capture your target market’s attention first.
At the age of 40, King Gillette was a frustrated inventor, a bitter anticapitalist, and a salesman of cork-lined bottle caps.
It was 1895, and despite ideas, energy, and wealthy parents, he had little to show for his work.
He blamed the evils of market competition.
His boss at the bottle cap company, meanwhile, had just one piece of advice: Invent something people use and throw away.
One day, while he was shaving with a straight razor that was so worn it could no longer be sharpened, the idea came to him.
What if the blade could be made of a thin metal strip?
Rather than spending time maintaining the blades, men could simply discard them when they became dull.
A few years later, the disposable-blade safety razor was born.
Over the next two decades, he gave away millons of razors to soldiers in the war, hoping the habits soldiers developed at war would carry over to peacetime.
He gave razors in bulk to banks so they could give them away with new deposits (”shave and save” campaigns).
Razors were bundled with everything from Wrigley’s gum to packets of coffee, tea, spices, and marshmallows.
The freebies helped to sell those products, but the tactic helped Gillette even more.
By giving away the razors, which were useless by themselves, he was creating demand for disposable blades.
A few billion blades later, this business model is now the foundation of entire industries:
* Give away the cell phone but sell the monthly plan
* Make the videogame console cheap and sell expensive games
* Install fancy coffeemakers in offices at no charge so you can sell managers expensive coffee sachets
* Make printers extremely inexpensive yet charge $20 a pop for the ink cartridges
* Give away a free eBook so you can upsell the video version of the book
Thanks to Gillette, the idea that you can make money by giving something away for free – is no longer radical.
Are you beginning to see how your web business should work…
So…where do things go from here?
* Future scenario 1:
Low-cost digital distribution will make the summer blockbuster free. Theaters will make their money from concessions — and by selling the premium moviegoing experience at a high price.
* Future scenario 2:
Ads on the subway? That’s so 20th century. By sponsoring the whole line and making trips free, the local merchants association brings grateful commuters to neighborhood shops.
* Happening right now:
When Wal-Mart charges $7 for a new hit DVD, it’s a loss leader. The company is offering the DVD below cost to lure you into the store, where it hopes to sell you a washing machine at a profit.
* Happening right now:
Your cell phone company may not make money on your monthly minutes — it keeps that fee low because it knows that’s the first thing you look at when picking a carrier — but your monthly voicemail fee is pure profit for them. Clever huh!
* Happening right now:
In 2007 The New York Times went free; in 2010 so will much of The Wall Street Journal.
A psychological switch has been turned and things are flipping towards zero.
BUT A WORD OF WARNING!!!!!
From the consumer’s perspective, there is a huge difference between cheap and free.
Give a product away for free and it can go viral.
Charge a single cent for it – so it is seen as ‘cheap’ – and you’re in an entirely different business, one of clawing and scratching for every customer.
Don’t do it.
The huge psychological gap between “almost zero” and “zero” is why micropayments failed.
It’s why Google doesn’t show up on your credit card.
It’s why modern Web companies don’t charge their users anything.
And it’s why Yahoo gives away disk drive space.
Look at Craigs List. A Free Listings site that made $50 million last year from the few things it charges for.
The moral of this story?
The winning companies make their stuff free first.
Are you?

Hey, Boomers! Here are some good blogging tips to keep in mind to become a successful blogger.
A Successful blogger can easily make a living online. But, starting the blogging journey can feel overwhelming and quite frustrating. Here are 6 tips that can help you blog more effectively and become a successful blogger.
Find A Topic And Stick With It When you are just starting your blogging carrier, its much easier and better to stick with one topic. It makes it easier for you to research and produce fresh content. Also, most blog readers tend to stick with bloggers who specialize about one subject. You can be a jack of all trades when you have established yourself and have a big base of readers. But, in the beginning put all of your effort towards attracting and satisfying a specific group of readers.
Create Unique Content Its been said over and over, Content is king. Specially fresh and unique content. In this day and age, fresh content is everything. People are looking for new information. They are tired of the same old stuff found on thousands of blogs and websites.
Write In a Simple Language Blogging is way different than having a website. People like blogs because of the way it makes them feel. A blog is a way for you to connect with others. In my experience, a blogger who writes as if he or she normally talks, gets to attract and keep more readers. Update Your Blog Regularly Search engines rely heavily on blog activity and the number of times it’s updated for ranking them. They are always looking for quality blogs that are updated regularly, which tells them the blog is producing fresh and useful content. Keeping your blog updated while making sure about the usefulness and the quality of your blog, will give you an edge over other bloggers in the search engine ranking game.
Check Your Spelling I myself sometimes make mistakes here and there, but it is very important that you produce content free of such mistakes. People tend to discredit bloggers who regularly misspell or make grammar related mistakes. It is a good idea to proofread your content before publishing, at least twice. Making a mistake here and there is ok. We all do that. Even the best writers make mistakes once in a while . People understand that, but frequently making such mistakes, is a different matter. Respond to Your Readers Comments Many new bloggers tend to over look this important point. People like to be part of the conversation. If you keep ignoring your readers, they will eventually find another blog to read, where their thoughts and comments matter. By responding to your readers comments and questions, you are connecting with them in a personal level and letting them know that they matter to you. Just as you want me to read your blog and value your thoughts, I as a reader of your blog, would like to be valued as well.
Blogging can be one of the top ways to make money online, if you can create a relationship with your readers. The more benefit you add to this relationship by producing valuable content and appreciating your readership, the bigger you and your blog will grow, and that’s the basics for becoming a successful blogger.

Hey, Boomers! Keep your content fresh and share your thoughts about current events.
Your readers will keep coming back!
Blogging is such a great way to share our thoughts and views with other people. But, lets face it, most of us want to drive traffic to our blogs and keep the readers coming back, whether we want to make money from our blog or not. There are many ways to drive traffic to your blog, but the most important part is keeping those readers loyal to your blog. Here are 3 ways you can attract new readers while keeping your current readers coming back.
Update regularly The easiest and best way to keep visitors coming back to your blog is obviously updating your blog. People want fresh content. If they have to wait a couple of days or in some cases weeks for you to write something, they will find another blog. Readers tend to stay more loyal to blogs that are updated often. Some bloggers even update their blogs several times a day. You can also use simple things like joke of the day, video of the day, or something like that to add some fun to your blog. People like those little touches.
Talk About What’s Hot Participating in forums and web communities is a great way to get involved, and find out the topic of the day. What people are talking about and what they want to hear. Use such communities to always stay ahead and write about new things that readers want to read.
Know Your Readers After while blogging you will come to know who your regular readers are. To keep them coming back, write about topics that they like. Many times readers leave comments about certain topics or ask a question. You can simply turn that question around and make a post out of it. It will show your readers that you care about them and you do listen to them. It will make them feel appreciated. Once they know that, they will be more likely to be loyal to you and your blog.
These are just a few few simple things you can do to keep your readers interested. Be creative, there are many other ways you can keep your blog readers happy. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple response to comment or a personal email to a couple of readers, to show them you are loyal to them as well, and that you do keep them in mind. Of course at the same time you need to work on different ways to drive quality targeted traffic to your blog as well. By building a relationship and providing good quality information, not only you keep your current readers, you also attract new visitors to your blog, who may one day become loyal readers of your blog.

In creating a blog you also want to create an enjoyable and beneficial experience for your readers. Looking around the internet you will see that all the most popular blogs have one thing in common and that is they strive to serve their readers. The fact of the matter is if the needs of the blog reader are not met they will simply leave never to return. Without anyone to read and post comments on the site a blog will eventually lose subscribers along with its ability to attract any new visitors.
What is it then that the popular blogs do to keep their readers satisfied and maintain their appeal and ability to attract new traffic? Well there are several things no doubt that help increase the appeal of a blog but today we will focus on just the fundamentals.
Here are 3 things you can do to increase the appeal of your site making it a more enjoyable experience for every blog reader who visits. Format for Easy Scanning
Maintain an easy to read format for the visitors to your blog. Using relevant keywords in an already descriptive headline is a good start.
As often as possible incorporate bullet points, numbering and sub headlines into the body of your post. Using a layout like this makes the content easy to scan for useful information or relative points being made. Lastly avoid using large blocks of text but instead keep paragraphs and sentences as short as possible. Interact with Readers
One of the biggest appeals to those who frequent blogs is the ability to interact with others INCLUDING the owner of the site. When visitors post comments that require a response always try to do so. By not responding to comments directed at you the ’spirit’ of community is threatened at the blog. If visitors feel like there is a lack of interaction or a reluctance to interact they may very well not return to the site. Post Useful Content
When posting to your blog always try to include some useful information for your readers. This is one of the biggest reasons they continue to return and if you develop a consistent pattern of posting content readers have little interest in they will go elsewhere.
When any of your readers post comments look to see what they are talking about since this gives you great insight into what is of interest to them. With information like this you can make the subject the focus of your next post or perhaps even create a series of entries around the topic.
If they have questions answer them and if they present problems try to solve them but in any event let them know you are listening.
Creating a blog that readers will enjoy should be the first concern for anybody wanting to operate a successful site. By keeping the blog reader happy they are more likely to continue returning. By maintaining this steady flow of traffic at your site you will likely experience more interaction which is what everybody looks for and benefits from. The readers enjoy the increased sense of ‘community’ and you the owner benefit from their input and encouragement. By consciously remembering to follow the 3 simple ‘guidelines’ discussed here today you will not only increase reader satisfaction but also make it a more gratifying experience for yourself as well!

Posting fresh and interesting blog entries to your site on a frequent basis is one of the biggest challenges facing anybody maintaining a blog. Locating and developing quality content for use in your blog posting duties is crucial if you want your readers to remain loyal. It is therefore essential that you continue to seek new sources of the quality information you need to fashion into post that your readers want.
Since blogs allow for interaction amongst members and site owners, use this to your advantage for developing interesting content for your own site.
Here are 3 ideas you can use to develop plenty of quality content for use in your blog posting to attract readers both new and old. Solve a Nagging Problem
View comments by your own readers or perhaps those left at other blogs to ‘pick up’ on any common problems that many people seem to have in the niche. By offering solutions to these problems and then opening up to your readers for their opinions or suggestions you can gather enough information for several posts. Opinion Polls
By polling your own readers on subject matter that is relevant to their interest and the niche you are in you can reflect back the results in your blog posting. Once again by asking their opinions or to give their feedback on the poll results you posted you can easily accumulate additional content you can post about. Create a List
By doing a little internet research you can easily find rankings, popularity polls or standings that are relevant to what you blog about. By posting this information to your site your readers will likely find this information intriguing since it is something you know they already have an interest in.
In addition this type of format is easy to compose and even easier to read so it means less effort for you and more enjoyable reading for visitors.
This type of approach is also great for announcing or revealing any growing trends of interest to your readers.
The blog entries you post are crucial towards maintaining reader loyalty while also attracting new traffic to your site. Continually finding fresh quality information for use in your posts can be exhausting work if you do not know where to look. The 3 ideas we discussed here today are from a source that is already available to you, your readers. By tapping into their interest and concerns you can easily find enough ideas upon which to base your posts. The best part is a lot of these ideas can be developed without even having to leave your blog.

Hey, Boomers! Pick your keywords carefully to attract the kind of visitor you want to entertain on your blog.
Blogs are a very good and easy way to generate traffic and create your presence online. However if there is one thing you must have in order for blogging to be profitable for you and that is targeted visitors.
If you want to generate the kind of traffic that results in profits, you need the kind of visitors that are looking for exactly what it is you’re offering.
In order to attract highly targeted visitors from the search engines, it’s important that you pick keywords with a reasonable amount of searches and that are closely related to the content you’re providing in order to make money with your blog.
A big misconception out there is that so long as you have a blog with a lot of content on it and some banners or adsense, you will instantly start making money. This is wrong and unless you enjoy experiencing frustration (which I’m sure you don’t) you’ll do keyword research.
Keyword research is actually not as complicated as the keyword software producers make it seem, but it is crucial to developing content that pulls in sales.
Another way to optimize your blog posts is to follow the same rules you would follow if you were optimizing a page on a static website.
Use your keyword in your title, a couple of times in your post and don’t be overly concerned about keyword density. Just write like you talk and keep it simple.
Include your keyword in your tags as well as related keywords and believe it or not you’ll start getting the kind of visitors that will make your blogging worthwhile.
There is a crucial component that you need to implement to really ramp up the profitability of your blog and if you would like to know more visit: http://www.undergroundaffiliatemanifesto.com
