Playstation Store Vs Netflix?

I just had an invited questionnaire from Playstation and the questions that were asked (there were lots):

Playstation Store

Streaming

Games

All the answers gave a different set of questions but they see Hulu (I cant watch Hulu as I am not in the US) and Netflix as players and major competitors. Couldn’t remember if Amazon prime is there, but surely that is a player?

They wanted to know why I used…

Affiliates Give Their Annual Earnings

Affiliates earning potential is one of the main reason why people get into this thing.

It is to do with the cash, how much you can make, can it be easy to make (no) and the potential for you to earn a decent amount of money, preferably working from home.

Threeladdersmarketing found the Affiliate Summit marketing stats for 2013 (if you have seen this, or if this available freely click on some of…

I love doing these because they can be done every year with some new points and tips. Affiliates do fail, most of the time newbies do, but every now and then you get a nugget from the “pros”.

Just go a searching through Google and notice which ones are selling, which ones are teaching and which ones haven’t really done what they are saying.

So here we go, how many have I seen on my travels.

Is Affiliate Marketing Dead? How You Can Profit.

Link bait I know :)

But how many articles and forum posts have stated that affiliate marketing is dead? There are over 1 million searches for that exact phrase and that phrase then gets added to the year. So, is affiliate marketing dead 2014, etc.

So is it?

No.

End of post then :)

The problem is that there are a multiple amounts of factors at play which hits sellers from each angle. We will try…

Spam Content, Spam Email

You might have noticed that there havent been any updates…the site is going through a change. But recently my email has been used to send spam. So I have been trying to sort that out.

In the big scheme of things you have to ask yourself what is the point?

To infect computers so that you can do some big thing?

To show people that you can actually “do it”?

To send out ads that might look reputable?

In Business You Need The Internet For…

Being on the Internet/ being online and all those odd notions doesn’t really state why you are online and what is the point of the Internet.

Most people will state that it is to

sell items

to get your “presence” out there

to do direct marketing…but online

I figured out that actually being online is not really any of these points. They are secondary to what you need to do. And it is something that…

The Apple Beats Deal

Unless you have been living in the normal world, Apple bought Beats Music etc.

Their reasoning?

music is dying

Beats have great premium headphones

growth of iTunes has stalled.

The Apple Beats deal seems good then?

In perspective of content it is still extremely odd for a few reasons:

If they knew iTunes was stalling- which all singular good things do over time (read “The Purple Cow” then why not…

Why Is There So Much Concern About Google Updates?

Google updates…the zoo edition. Pick an animal from the zoo and that will be Googles updates.

For years now people have been very concerned about these updates wreaking their business.

The problem has never been Google.

As Internet creators we have been trained to create our websites with Google in mind and create backlinks so that Google will find us.

So when Google changes it mind every now and…

The Most Expensive Book On Amazon Is…

Lets get the answer out of the way. The most expensive book on Amazon is:

“Margin Of Safety” by Seth Klarman.

Its a business book, more precise, it is an investor book.

And the price of this value investing book?

$2,999- hard cover new

$1,999- hard cover used.

Kinda steep…

But is it?

For me, I am not in that field, that field is of no use to me. However if I wanted to know about value investing…

Why Keyword Searching Is The Devils Trick

Most keyword research for anything is folly (I always wanted to use that word after Boromir said it in LOTR).

Most, if not all people who want to create digital products state that to be successful you need to do the following:

look up what people are searching for

if you get the most predominant keyword then you have a large audience searching

if you don’t want tons of competition then you go…

Choosing Great Products To Fit The Funnel(s) Free Ebook

Choosing great products to sell through an affiliate network or choosing a great product to create is simply easy.

BS.

More people have been burnt either earlier or later.

Choosing great products always seems to be such an easy task, in that people who promote these products are always making tons of cash on a monthly basis.

What they don’t seem to tell you is that it is not as easy as it…

Warren Buffet At Dairy Queen? GTFOH

Yep, you read it right. Warren Buffet At Dairy Queen.

People are also amazed…no, flabbergasted…at Warren Buffet drinking Cherry Coke!

This is going to be a short post and you will see why.

Kinda related to my appsumo post.

Let us list some of the companies that Berkshire Hathaway owns/ invested in shall we:

Coke

Dairy Queen.

Hmm…now all of this advertisements is going to do what to Dairy…

How AppSumo Is Successful…Like Actually How.

Appsumo is a great idea from the clever, constantly young Noah Kagan.

I wanted to know how he did it. So I searched and found the following tips:

He found out that people were using a particular photosharing bit of software on Reddit.

He contacted the developer and asked if he could get a deal on the most popular version

He advertised on Reddit- where the most users of the program reside

He found…

A quick post about Seth Godin, who I buy plenty of books from.

I got worried. I want to build up my social presence, but the website needs sorting out first. So I did a small 20 minute bit of research and tried to figure out the best way to share something- to see what I was up against. Do you write big, small, have a large audience, have tons of external links, pictures videos etc.

I like Seth…

Warrior Forum And Freelancer Hook Up

Warrior Forum and Freelancer are now a couple.

In announcing it (through kinda similar email templates) both companies state how great this is. For me it goes something like this:

Warrior Forum:

no BS

more finances and backup cash

a clean-up of the whole site

discounts at Freelancer?

For Freelancer:

directly funnel people who want “quick” jobs done through direct links or adverts

have access to a…

2 Powerful Email Opening Secrets You Really DO NOT Know

Most online businesses have an email list- and you should too. but having a list and having a list which opens your emails is a different story.

You can have 10,000 subscribers but only 1000 open any email you send. And do you know the average email opening rate?

68%

Pretty high, but if you have familiarity, the right email, the right audience and the previous email that you sent, then that…

The 4HWW (four hour work week by Tim Ferris) is actually a really good read and I have bought a copy and I am thankful that I did.
