Here’s a list of giveaway events that I currently participating in.

Show me your support by signing up as contributor and grab my gift inside.

The question that I would like to address here is:

"How To Get Giveaway Event to Work For You?"

In any event, the things that people look for is "value", how does it add value to their bottom line, and how does it help them to make their life and business better. If you can address this in your product, then it will work for you.

I would agree most freebie seekers do go to giveaway event to get freebies of course, and i doubt they download all of the gifts that are available. Maybe some will do that, but most people won’t, they skim the headlines, and the ecover to justify that whether it’s a product they wanted.

So, in order to know what’s the product the audience wanted, simply go to the giveaway event signup as contributor, and look at the "gift download stats", see what are the TOP products that are in demand, and how does the ecover looks like, create a product in that market and you should be doing ok.

Of course, you could also opt for upgrade option, by paying a small fee you could be listing your product on the TOP spot that get the most view. You could also email your list and invite them to signup to grab the freebies, by doing this you will be able to earn more points and hence your product listing will go up.

But ultimately, a good product do make the difference in the relationship when the visitor opt-in, you will be able to build a better list because you’re not giving away some craps. Instead, you’re giving them "value".

I hope this helps!

Hey Friends,

Here’s my first post in 2009.

By now you should have heard of WebProsperity which is set for official launch on 6th Jan 2009, 3 days from now.

Read this post before you join WebProsperity .

A lot of promotion has already been done on the pre-launch stage and some of the biggest names on the Internet Marketing history has also taken part in the pre-launches, which is very interesting.

Now before you join WebProsperity , you want to know which "team" you are joining, there’s a good reason for it (read on to find out more).

Because of the scale and "hype" that was created, i decided to dig further on this program and layout the pros and cons for you here.

What is WebProsperity?

In short, It is a network marketing company targeting at Internet Marketers, with the products being the essential tools that all serious marketers would need, like autoresponder.

What’s in it for me here?

If you are internet marketer yourself (It doesn’t matter which market or niche you are in), you would gladly know that this is a great passive income opportunity that you could leverage on, anyway you would be spending money on those essential services too (like aweber), while enabling you to build a potential massive income by leveraging the webprosperity compensation plan.

If you are a network marketer yourself or looking for a great network company online, then this a great news for you! You would want to join the pre-launch spot before 6th Jan 2009 to take advantage of the probably "premium" top spot in the network. As I have some good knowledge in the network marketing, I know what are the things that make a great network marketing company. A new and great company, great product, great leadership team and of course a great payout plan. All of this are in place.

Why products do WebProsperity offer?

The company offering this product, Implix Inc is the company offering Getresponse autoresponder which thousands of internet marketers are using, beside this Implix also own other products like WebsiteWizard, HyperTracker and etc.

With WebProsperity available, internet marketers can have almost all the essential tools they needed all in one place, tools for purpose like meeting, contact, media, finder, address book and calendar.

What does Implix has over the competitor?

Implix has been operating since 1998 on several online businesses and till date it has 750,000 active users worldwide. Implix has many talented programmers supporting the system.

How much is the WebProsperity Products?

There are only two plan.

$29.95 per month for premium builder package and $59.95 for elite builder package.

How is WebProsperity compensation plan?

The plan is called Freedom Compensation Plan and there’s 3 ways to earn.

- Pacesetter Bonus (20% recurring bonus, simply refer 5 paying members and you would be free)

- Momentum Matrix Royalty (earn rewards for team building with new 2 x 15 matrix)

- Platinum Leadership Development Bonus (enroll platinum leaders and earn based on their teams)

What is the Total Payout For WebProsperity?

This is the term that most networkers would want to know, it’s 67%.

Now, Which Team Should You Join?

Ideally, you should join under the team (the upline) which is doing ongoing promotion and has a huge email list (You should also personally promote this to your contacts and email list to maximise the potential).

Read on further on why you should join my team.

The term "spillover" which was introduced because of the fact that this is a 2×15 forced matrix, so whatever additional leads which your upline has built will be available to your network and it may be a potential gold mine if you have a strong upline.

My team has a very solid upline and he is commonly called "World’s No 1 Super Affiliate" which obviously has a very huge email list, and he will be promoting this agressively in 2009. So take advantage of this and join my team here (I’m the first few who join his team).

What is my earning potential?

Now, with any network marketing plan, you need to work on it in order to earn. That’s the minimum, you can also play it big or you could just do the minimum, it’s up to you.

If someone promise you that you do not have to do anything and you will be earning millions of dollars, stay away!

What is the potential downside?

The real truth on a failing network marketing program is a failing product and its leadership that leads to members dropping out and staying inactivity. From the surface, it looks good now, but we will be able to see when the system goes live for a while.

If everything goes fine, it would be massive!

While it’s still early in the launch now, and there’s no cost for you to join, I urge you to grab an account now and announce it to your list.

Summary

All in all, I view that this is a great opportunity as the pros has out-numbered any cons by large, Grab a ground zero launch in 2009 and lock in your position now.

I have decided to promote this program in 2009, and hence registered WebprosperityReview , check it out now!

More info will also be published on WebProsperityReview Blog .

I will see you on the inside!

Hey, it is a sunny Saturday here.

And, i am truly amazed at how a 6 year old attracted almost 3,500 visitors per month to his "toys" blog with just post with picture of his favorite toys, "Ben 10". This goes to show that internet business can be just as simple and need not be very complicated.

And one big tip that i learned is "Do stuff that you like".

This is a blog post done by my good friend Ewen Chia about his 6 year old son, Clayden.

You can see the original update via Ewen’s blog at http://www.internetwealth.com/training

Well, i did a simple study and found out how the 3,500 monthly visitors come about.

His post about "Ben 10 Toys" hit on number 1 spot at the images search result, out of almost a million images. The exposure is really huge! Think of how you can leverage the images to rank high on SEO.

Next, Google Images Results also being indexed in the search results for the keyword "Ben 10 Toys", which in this case is ranked at number 4, again another huge exposure.

Well this simple case study really inspired me a lot! And i hope you will benefit from this.

Talk soon,

Yes, Adwords conversion tracking is important in my PPC campaign.

The first thing that you need to do before starting any Adwords campaign is to have your Adwords conversion tracking turn ON.

And, secondly is to know what parameter to track in Conversion tracking.

I have seen many people doing PPC campaign especially Adwords, without using the Adwords Conversion Tracking. This is a big mistake to make. Unless you have a third party tool for tracking purpose.

Not knowing what conversion you’re getting in your lead sign up and sales is like sailing a ship without a direction.

I’m not sure why so many people are ignoring the conversion tracking and not using it. It’s not difficult to implement and Adwords has made it seamless to integrate this into your website.

Create a code snippet, and copy into your website, upload and you’re done.

Let me try to explain why conversion tracking is important.

Every Adwords advertiser would have a process / funnel that looks like this.

Ads Impression - Clicks - Leads - Purchase.

Let’s say your ads generate 1,000,000 impressions with a CTR of 2%, you will get 20,000 clicks or visitors to your website.

If you landing page capture 30% of the signup, which is 6,000 and out of that, 3% or 180 purchase your product.

However, knowing this figures in average terms is not enough.

Why? Because you do not know this in terms of your Adgroups and Keywords.

Simply integrate the Adwords conversion tracking into your campaign, you would instantly be able to track conversion by campaign, adgroup and as well as down to every keywords.

With this information, you will have critical information to optimize your campaign.

You could also see this information for your ads copy as well.

Now, what should you track in the conversion? Signup or Purchase? Since Google Adwords only allow one Adwords conversion tracking to be display.

I would recommend tracking signup conversion. Which mean you simply put the Adwords conversion tracking code on the thank you page of your signup form.

Signup process is probably one of the first goal for most advertiser, since they want to build a list and monetize them in the backend. Yes, the money is in the list!

From the above example, signup is 6,000 while purchase is only 180.

By tracking the signup conversion, we would be able to track faster as well as optimize faster. If you would to track purchase, then you are tracking the end of the process which is much slower.

Hence your campaign optimization process could be faster by as much as 33 times by your competitor who track purchase. This put you in much advantage of the competition.

Go ahead and use the Adwords conversion tracking now, it would only take you few minutes.

If you did not read my previous post about Camtasia Studio 5, you can read it here.

I’m sure many people heard of Camtasia Studio screen recording software, it’s one of most widely used tool people used to create on-screen recording.

There’s an alternative if you want a free version. Techsmith has started this project called "JingProject " more than 1 year back in July 2007. It’s one of the best alternative other than Camtasia Studio.

Jing is both a screen capture and screencasting software under one program. It’s still free at the moment and by default the porgram comes with a screencast account with a 2GB limit.

Usage wise, it’s pretty much self-explanatory where you just select any area with either screen capture or screen recording, the program would let you upload the output to screencast.com with a simple click.

The only downside is that this program only generate flash files (.swf), which other video sharing sites do not readily accept this file format.

Best,

Thomas
