Are You Out of Ideas In Creating New Blog Posts?

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

Phew, after more than a month on getting busy with my own works and experiments, I can finally update my blog right now. First of all, a VERY BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!  Second, I’ve changed my nickname from “The Affiliate Marketing Addict” to “The Internet Marketing Swiftblade”.

Hell yeah! It’s cooler than I thought, you know?

Anyway, it’s been a long time since I haven’t post in my dear blog, and I’ve missed it. Now I know how to manage my own time for both IM experiments and other things. But I can’t promise you that I blog everyday, because I still have some issues regarding my health and financial status. I’m still hanging on though, because I had a $300/month part-time job that I’m doing everyday..not bad! But hey, I’m hungry for more you know? So 2012 is going to give me a nice boost!

Anyway guys, here are a couple of tips that I’ve prepared for now on getting some ideas in creating new blog posts.

Tip #1: RESEARCH! RESEARCH! RESEARCH!

Believe me guys, this is one thing that most bloggers are not doing when they’re out of ideas. All we got to do is research some topics from other blogs, forums and communities that are related to our niche. For example, if you are on the internet marketing niche and having out of ideas on what you should post in your blog, you can simply search for some blogs that are having the same niche as yours. Once you have read some topics from other blogs, you have finally come up with an idea of your own.

Tip #2: THE “LET’S VOLT IN” TECHNIQUE!

Have you heard about an anime series called Voltes V? Usually, there are five people who have their own vehicles to ride. If they are battling against a huge enemy, these vehicles are transformed and combined into a single huge robot through their catchphrase “Let’s Volt In!”. The same thing goes to creating new blog posts.

For example, if you have discovered posts about Apsense from Blog #1, LinkedIn from Blog #2, and The Million Dollar Network from Blog #3, you can simply combine these topics into one single topic that you may post in your blog. Do you get what I mean? Piece of cake!

At least you guys already know what to do if you’re in this situation, this will help your blog get updated everyday (or every 2 days, 3 days, whatever!) . I’m pretty sure that you will never get confused or frustrated again to get ideas for your upcoming blog posts. Just try it, take action!

I’ve Survived The Darkest Weeks of My Career, What’s Next For Me?

by Jeff Caceres   December 5th 2011 | No Comment

What’s up fellas?

It’s been a long time since I haven’t updated my blog because I need to accomplish one important thing in my career….which is to survive the darkest weeks I’ve experienced last month. I was busy for most of the time trying to solve this critical problem which leaves me almost nothing (I’m talking about my balance in the bank account).  I didn’t tell my parents about this except Peter (my best friend) and his co-employee in our internet cafe, because I don’t like them to see that my career’s going down and called me a big failure.

Here’s the story about my career’s darkest weeks:

My long-term client (I should not mention his name) has given me $450 for a new article marketing project which involves 50 articles with submissions to Ezine Articles, Unique Article Wizard, Linkvana, Article Marketing Automation and Article Submit Auto. With that amount, I have started to buy WSO’s (Warrior Special Offers) that are related to CPA (cost-per-action) and instant money making techniques), and I’ve even subscribed to Article Submit Auto for $27. I’ve successfully published five Ezine Articles under my Basic Plus account, but the rest of them were rejected. I tried to take my time writing these articles carefully (since I have a decent English language) and attempted to submit them into my Ezine Basic Plus account. But still, they were rejected and I’m totally pissed off. I emailed my client about this problem and I’m about to revise my proposal to me. But instead, my client wants his money back in full.

If I will refund him the full money, that means my bank account will be less than $200 for the first time in a year. My biggest mistake so far is that I buy eBooks and video courses from Warrior Forum and other sources that seems to be promising for me to turn things around, but in the end their methods were still old and re-hashed. My client and me talked more about making a solution to this problem. He suggested that I should take more time researching and writing articles, but when I applied it still Ezine won’t approve my articles. I’ve told Peter about this problem, and he suggested that there could be a solution if I know how to think well. My parents and sisters would have helped me, but I don’t think they’re not good enough to meet the Ezine standards due to no experience.

Are there any other solutions for this?

One of the solutions that I’ve been thinking is to outsource this project to a cheap writer. I met an Indian guy from DP and he showed me his writings from Ezine Articles. I was impressed and I let him start everything. I’ve tested 15 articles and paid $25 to him. After a week, when I checked his articles on my Ezine account, they were all rejected. I’ve asked a refund to him, but he won’t because he already put his time and effort to write these articles at his very best. I had no choice but to let him keep the money.

We’ll, solution was not yet been solved and I am still in fear that I’ll refund my client in full and left with less than $200….until another guy from Digital Point Forums sent me a message….

He showed me his portfolio that he was an Ezine Platinum author with a Masters Degree, and I’ve talked to him on Skype for an hour. His name was Bill, and he promised that all of the articles will be published and will be saved from refunding my client. He initially charged me $2 per 100 words, but he will consider to work slowly for only $1 per 100 words. So I’ve ordered 45 articles from him (5 already published by me) and paid him around $200. As he started working, I kept my fingers crossed, experiencing fast heartbeat and praying that the articles will finally be published.

He worked with these articles for a couple of weeks, and when I was notified that the articles were approved…..WOOHOO! I can finally breathe well…but not totally until he will finish all of them. I have seen some success of getting these articles approved by Ezine Articles, so even I have the confidence for him…I still kept my fingers crossed. Day after day when these articles are published, I distributed thems to Unique Article Wizard, Linkvana, Article Marketing Automation and Article Submit Auto. After he completed his work, all of the articles were finally published. I’ve immediately gathered all the links of each article directory and compiled them into a TXT file (which he required for a full report). Finally, after I submitted the final report to my client, he was very impressed of the work and no needs of refunding him anymore…and my darkest weeks of November are over. I’ve thanked Bill for all of his high quality work, saving me from refunding my client in full.

Afterwards, I’ve talked to him about the upcoming project which does not involve writing on Ezine Articles. It’s pretty easy though, which I need to install 10 article directories into all of his WordPress blogs and I’m very comfortable with that. But for now, he hasn’t given me details yet due to his busy work with Senuke X and other projects. I might charge him $20 to $30 per installation though, depends on the number of categories and settings that I need to setup (especially WP Robot).

But still with more than $200 left, how long would I survive?

I’m trying to go back from square one through finding micro jobs on Digital Point Forums. I’ve found a job that is related to forum posting (topics are SEO, web hosting, etc.) and his rate was very high ($0.25 per 100 words). I’ve started around the last week of November, and I was paid $22 after I requested an invoice from them. But this amount won’t help me a lot to recover what I’ve lost. They will pay me only once month, so that means at the end of December they will pay me based on the number of posts I’ve accomplished. But one time, a forum has given his account an infraction due to the type of post that is not allowed. The forum was very strict though, and he was disappointed on me committing an infraction and he wants me out…so I accepted his decision.

What’s next for me anyway?

One of my closest friends (I wouldn’t mentioned his name) has given me an opportunity which I’m really passionate about…and that is affiliate marketing).  He tested me to write an article about Clickbank products on his review blog, and you know what…he’s really impressed and he like me to become a full-timer for $200 a month. Since he already knows my difficult situation, he paid me an upfront of $100 for 2 weeks of work. Just today, he gave me another separate job that he pays additional $100 per month. It means that my monthly income starting this December will be $300, and it’s guaranteed! Although it’s quite stable, I think it’s good enough for me to recover what I’ve lost in my darkest weeks of my career last November.

As of today, I’ve been finally rejuvenated! But that doesn’t stop me to look for other opportunities and to do some affiliate marketing stuff, because my dream to have a 6-figure monthly income is still alive! For now, I’m trying to be motivated in my daily schedule (especially Sundays) in order for me to become a successful affiliate marketer and my full-time job at the same time.

No matter what kind of struggles do I have in my career, I never gave up fighting this pain. I also thanked God for letting me stay as positive as possible, and to keep going with this project.

I’ll keep you guys updated!

I’m A Busy Business Guy Once Again!

by Jeff Caceres   October 19th 2011 | No Comment  

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

Once again, I’m a very very busy business guy again. This is one reason that I didn’t update my blog for the past few days because I have talked with a businessman that we will be partners in his brand new service. I met this guy on Digital Point Forums and we talked on Skype about his business. The reason I am interested with him is that he’s really serious about getting his business going, problem is that he has zero iTrader/feedback. As for me, I’m already 10 great feedbacks away to reach a milestone of 100 iTrader. OMG! It was totally big. Remember that I do make money for reselling the services from other service providers? This time I’m very serious about his service, and I’ve proposed to him very well on what can I do for business. He was enlightened on what I’m planning and begs me  to partner with him.

Well well well…..now this is real business!

I had nothing to spend except the $20 for creating a thread on Warrior Forum and my precious time every day to promote the service in various webmaster forums. After I made split tests with Warrior Forum, Digital Point, WickedFire, NamePros and NetBuilders, it was WickedFire who had the most customers. But the thing is that I was temporarily banned by them for 7 days due to one tiny violation that I committed, which I really didn’t know. Lesson learned though, I should read their sticky rules first before attempting to create the thread. At least it’s not permanent, I still have Warrior Forums and DP who were potential big markets as well. For our first few days, we averaged around 1 to 3 sales a day and the commissions were rolling into my Paypal account. I was so happy with the customer reviews, but still we have some room to improve. My business partner has bigger plans for next week that he will introduce more packages in our business, and I can’t really wait with it. Another thing is that my good ol’ client finally wants me back, but gives me time until I’m ready to start with the huge project.

So this is where I’m busy all week huh?

Yeah! God damn right! I’m even busy with my laptop at the hospital when my mom was admitted due to dehydration and food poisoning. As for my affiliate marketing experiments, I can still deal with it. As an affiliate marketer, not only I’m addicted to promote affiliate products to potential customers, but also with other ways to make money online just like the online business I have right now with my partner. Speaking of our online business, my partner will launch the website very soon and I’m going to post this as well. It’s great to be a business guy and an affiliate marketer, and it’s where I’m very busy for most of the days.

Tutorial 101: How To Find Potential Customers on Twitter?

by Jeff Caceres   October 9th 2011 | No Comment  

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

Don’t you know that one of the best sources for us to find customers is Twitter? Is it really possible that we may possibly find them in this social media network? To tell you the truth, I already tried and experimented this with affiliate and CPA programs. For today, I’m going to give you a tutorial on how to find potential customers on Twitter. Why not Facebook? Why not the other sources? The reason I choose Twitter is because it acts as our second autoresponder prior to Aweber, Listwire, etc. When you have lots of followers in your account, you may actually send a tweet that can be viewed within their account. It means that if you tweet with your affiliate link to your followers, you may have a chance that you gain some constant sales or leads into your respective networks. Ok enough chit chat now, let’s get this over with shall we?

In order to do this properly, you must follow these steps:

1. Register a new Twitter account that is related to your niche and go to Twitter’s Search Page (search.twitter.com).

2. In their search page, you must type the following query: “keyword” -http. The reason why we put -http is that we will only focus on the real buyers, not including the service provider.

3. Once you hit the “Search” button, latest and updated results that includes the keyword you’re targeting will appear. If a Twitter tweets about your keyword (who is a real buyer), login to your brand new Twitter account you must follow him or her.

4. Send him or her a valuable message with your affiliate link which must be cloaked with URL shorteners like bit.ly and tinyurl.com.

5. Continue to do that with the other targeted Twitter members until sales or leads are coming in.

Although this is a short tutorial, but it’s really worth for me. I’ve gained a lead once using this method, but I just need to take this into the next level. I hope you have learned something new about my tutorial for this week. Happy Sunday everyone!

How Would You Feel On Your Very First Affiliate Sale?

by Jeff Caceres   October 8th 2011 | No Comment  

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

There were so many affiliates and internet marketers who find themselves hard to make their first affiliate commission. You know why? Being an affiliate marketer is not that easy if you take action (e.g., setting up your WordPress blog, getting traffic from various sources, etc.). Let me tell you something about me as an affiliate marketer. I have struggled since I was a newbie, trying to earn my very first sale. When I finally setup my own blog, I have been thinking of writing product reviews as a test if someone really needs that product. I put up an affiliate link in the images and within the content and I’m getting traffic through forums, Facebook, Twitter and RSS aggregators. After a month when I checked my Clickbank account, I was so surprised that I got my very first sale of $36.50!

How did I feel about my very first affiliate sale?

I feel so God damn happy about it, knowing that my product review in this blog was really worth it. Everybody knows that when they got their very first sale, they always remember the date and may motivate them to do more. In other words, first timers who experienced their very first affiliate sale are jumping for joy and to begin their daydreaming…or in other words as “WOOHOO!”. I have seen this in the Warrior Forum where a thread starter may post about his or her first affiliate sale and the other members will congratulate him or her. For me, it’s really a blessing that affiliate marketing really works. As long you give value and to know what customers need, it’s so sure that a few percentage of the viewers might buy your affiliate product.

Once you got your first sale, don’t back down and keep going for more!

This is God damn true. I know that first sale really makes me feel good, but not yet good enough. Due to my lack of time during my client’s tasks, I only gain few commissions on Clickbank. But I also explored the world of cost-per-action (CPA) and other models to make money online for myself and yet again I have lack of time. Right now I’m experimenting again to make a living with these making money methods (especially of course my main method….the affiliate marketing) which I need to take them into a whole new level. I never back down, I keep going until I see some success with my affiliate, CPA and brokering campaigns.

If you had your very first affiliate sale, how would you feel then?

No Future Plans Yet For Google Adwords

by Jeff Caceres   October 7th 2011 | No Comment  

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

When it comes to PPC, it’s kinda tough you know? You are paying them in order to run your campaign and gain traffic…or even possible leads or sales to it. In other words, your traffic is only for a short-term basis and once your credit has expired, you need to deposit your credit card again in order for your campaign to continue running. For now, this is how my future with Google Adwords is still in question.

Why the heck I have no future for Google Adwords yet?

We’ll, since I have been introduced to Google Adwords, I was curious about it. But I see that there are some affiliates who were successful with them, but some of them were slapped and banned by them. I did try Google Adwords once with Youtube (which they have a Google Adwords Overlay ad feature) and it charges me per click. My budget is really limited on that time, which I set to the lowest bid per click. But in return, I only got a few impressions and clicks on my ad and it’s not good enough for me. If I change my bid per click to even higher, it would cost me a lot and my credit card would be left blank very soon. I respect the hell out of them, but when it comes to bid per click, it’s something that I’m not ready about.

What about the other ad networks?

We’ll, I have tried other networks like Adbrite, Bidvertiser, AdClickMedia, Adknowledge but they don’t seem to work well for me. I have done numerous split tests using these networks, but no success whatsoever. To tell you the truth guys, I haven’t tried Facebook ads yet but it’s still very tough to make a decision entering the world of PPC, due to the gig and experiments I have in affiliate and internet marketing. As for the Google Adwords, I really don’t know what the hell I can say but my future is still in question of using your services.

Listwire Review: A Free Aweber Alternative

by Jeff Caceres   October 6th 2011 | No Comment  

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

During my days with Aweber, I do struggle building my own list because I didn’t learn the basics yet. After I have learned the basics, I decided to create a free eBook called Freebie Jerk (which is only a guide for beginners to make money) until I had enough of it. I only have a total of 33 subscribers in one month until I finally cancel my Aweber subscription. Although it’s cheap ($19/month) but I only have a limit of around 500 subscribers or 2.5k subscribers if I forgot. After I cancelled my subscription, I’m looking for some alternatives like MailChimp, GetResponse and ImnicaMail….until I found one that could be the perfect choice for me. I’m talking about a new autoresponder service from Gary Ambrose called Listwire.

Why Listwire? Why not others?

Since I’m going to review about their service, here’s what I think about Listwire:

1. Free service – This is the best part for all email marketers. Unlike Aweber who charges $19/month, Listwire is free of charge. There’s no monthly or yearly subscription here, all of these features are totally free of charge.

2. Unlimited subscribers – Once again, Listwire has the advantage over Aweber and the others. Aweber charges more on a monthly basis if you want to increase the number of subscribers, but on Listwire there’s no need. Not only they are a free autoresponder service, but they also have unlimited subscribers.

3. User Interface – As I evaluated their whole user interface, I think it needs more improvement compared to Aweber. When we create our web forms, it only has limited customization. As for Aweber, they have multiple templates for web forms and we have the option to remove ‘Powered by Aweber” at the web form. But for ListWire, we’re not allowed to do that.

4. E-mail Campaigns – So far, so good! There’s no problem about sending campaigns to my subscribers. When I try schedule my follow-ups and broadcasts emails, it seems that it was successfully sent to my subscribers.

5. Plugin integration – This is another good thing for Listwire. If we install autoresponder plugins like PopUp Domination, we can integrate our Listwire web forms with them. All we have to do is copy paste the web form URL, and paste it to the area where we can integrate it with PopUp Domination.

Overall, I can see that Listwire will be the ultimate weapon for email marketers who can’t afford to pay for higher limited ones like Aweber, GetResponse, ImnicaMail, etc. Best of all, it’s totally free and you’re allowed to have unlimited subscriber per list you have in the account.

Howdy guys! I have been waiting for so long that my good ol’ friend Daniel Lew and his partner Soren Jorgensen has finally launched Cowboy Millionaire yesterday (9 AM EST). At his launch, I was able to purchase Cowboy Millionaire after the official launch. This revolutionary software is going to be big blast in the world of affiliate and internet marketing, and I’m really excited about it. After I have bought Cowboy Millionaire, there is a member’s area which consists of a download link of the software (1.8 MB) and tutorial videos for us to know how this thing works. Later on, I will try using this software in my own laptop to see everything. Oh man, I’m really excited about it. I might also create my own Cowboy Millionaire review and related “cowboy” videos about this software.

Now what can we expect inside the ranch, cowboy?

This powerful piece of desktop software creates niche sites using keyword research and pulls in unique content which are affiliate ready.

The unique sites are search engine optimized and created quickly and easily whilst uploading via the software, no ftp or technical skills are needed, Cowboy Millionaire software also does the backlinking for the sites created as well bringing the sites created to the top of Google allowing you to get quality buyers traffic resulting in nice big juicy affiliate commissions.

It gets even better!

The great thing about Cowboy Millionaire software as it is a comprehensive system using the latest strategies leading to quality buyers traffic resulting in sales. The system is automated enabling you to make money easily and quickly.

- Create Project / Site

This is actually perfect for those who want to make money with Clickbank, Amazon, CJ, Peerfly and Google Adsense. But I do think that we can customize our niche websites with other huge affiliate and CPA programs like LinkShare, Maxbounty, AdscendMedia, MarketHealth and a lot more.

They also have a JV program which affiliates may have a chance to win great prizes from them….HOLY COW!

What are you guys waiting for! Start ride the God damn horse and fulfill your dreams to become a successful internet marketer with Cowboy Millionaire!

Tired Eye Routine: Getting Addicted To My Gigs

by Jeff Caceres   October 4th 2011 | No Comment  

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

Hey guys! Welcome to the latest edition of “Tired Eye Routine” which I haven’t posted this for a long time. For today, I’m going to talk about my addiction in the gigs I’m promoting right now. First of all, why am I always have tired eyes every single night? If you have read about my last article about my weekly routine, this is where it all starts. My family business opens from 8 in the morning until 10 in the evening. Worst thing is that I’ll be the one to check and verify sales of our employees if their cash counting is correct. Between these times, I was able to have time managing the gigs that I use to promote for me to gain daily sales. These gigs really worked for me (but I’m only a broker/reseller) which is truly a great demand to all website and blog owners who are dying to get them into the top 10 of Google SERPS.

Why am I addicted even if I had tired eyes?

We’ll, I’m still very addicted to reselling these gigs because it gives me good results. Even after 10 in the evening, I am still online in my room with my laptop trying to check if I had sales or none…or even clients that inquired through various sources that I posted that gig which I resell. Reselling these gigs for profit is truly a legitimate and legal service that most of us agreed. This is something that I’ve never done before in the past few years, so right now I’m happy to get at least few sales daily…even at night time! You know what, I always slept between 12 midnight to 1 AM!

What about my affiliate marketing?

Right now I’m testing another method that can finally give me results as an affiliate marketer. It is something that was never done before as well, so I’m giving this a go, no turning back. But when one source of income really works for me, I have to keep it going until I master that method and make a living for it. But as we are dreaming to make a living in making money online, we do not strict ourselves with one working method only. We should try to study, master and take action of other methods that prove to boost our daily income.

I hope you learned something about the latest edition of “Tired Eye Routine”, which my eyes were tired but strong enough to get addicted in making money online with affiliate programs….and to the gigs that I resell even at graveyard time!

Why We Shouldn’t Miss Tagging Our Blog Posts?

by Jeff Caceres   October 3rd 2011 | No Comment  

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

There is something that bloggers should not miss every time they published a new post, and it is called tags. First of all, why tags are very important for every blog post? Before I’m going to reveal the reason to you, let me tell you my own experience writing blogs without using tags.

Why should we use tags huh?

Since the first time I’m posting through my very old affiliate marketing blog, I don’t use tags since I have no idea about it. I thought that tags are just an optional…but hell no! My good ol’ friend Daniel Lew told me that time I should have posted tags. You know why? Because of these tags, visitors who are searching for some terms within my blog will get results. As what I’ve experienced not using tags, I only received less traffic. But when I used tags for each of my blog posts, I have gained traffic compared before.

Tags! Tags! Tags!

The reason we use tags for our own blog post is that the visitors may actually find results of what keyword did they use to search. For example, if a visitor searches “SEO” within the blog’s search bar, blog posts that includes “SEO” keyword will appear on the blog’s search results…..just like we are doing in Google. Oh speaking of Google, if we include those keywords (especially with hyperlinks) and tags within our blog posts, it may appear on Google’s search results (depends on your keyword’s competition level and number of monthly searches).

Sad to say that my old blog was already gone because I have shifted to a new blog, which has my own name….you know…..it’s me Jeff Caceres! For those bloggers who are not using tags to their posts, start adding them now. It is one of those keys that could gain traffic and even potential sales from your blog through affiliate links and banners. It’s a win-win situation anyway.
