1. How to make $1000 a month online - Part 7
============================================
To Jay Stockwell, who runs our Burleigh Heads office, earning $1000 a month is a very modest goal.
He's launched several online businesses, written an ebook on SEO, created an anti-click fraud tool, invented SpeedPPC, and researched just about every major keyword research tool. He's also a Qualified Google AdWords Professional.
Over the last 6 weeks, he's covered a lot of material including niche selection, successful mindsets, planning and starting your online business, and getting traffic.
Now it's time to convert your work into cold hard cash...

2. How Adrian looks after his affiliates
========================================
Here's an affiliate merchant who goes the extra mile for his affiliates, making sure that every possible sale is accredited to an affiliate.
Adrian Ling of Easybiztools.com held a "summer sale" last week. He was giving away 5 good products for the price of 1 (3 to start with and another 2 given away in follow-up messages).
The important bit isn't the sale but what happened AFTER it.
Some affiliate merchants would simply put up a dumb note saying: "Sorry. This offer has ended." In such cases any future traffic the affiliate sent would be wasted. Other merchants might just redirect visitors to the home page.
Adrian works harder than that for his affiliates.
When the sale ended, Adrian emailed me saying:
"I've switched the sales copy with an optin-form
that automatically inserts your ClickBank ID
along with their subscription.
(you can view the page source to see your ID)
"So, if someone subscribes, my authoresponder
will follow-up with them 2 days later and offer
them a discounted link for the entire package.
Your ID is hardcoded in the link."
I wish all affiliate merchants were so considerate.
They need to remember that with thousands of affiliate
programs to choose from, we choose the merchants who
do the best job of looking after us.
By the way, if you're an affiliate merchant, you might consider having a sale. Adrian told me he sold about 300 products.

3. Affiliate coach Dan receives heart-warming emails
====================================================
Dan Ho, who launched new affiliate training a few weeks ago, says he's being flooded with testimonials.
Some of them are from affiliates who had struggled for months or years without success and are now making sales, thanks to Dan.
Here's a testimonial which was posted on his private forum by tylermartin:
"Nothing like going to dinner... taking
the dog for a walk and returning to a $300+
affiliate sale... nice...
"So - it's official. I am in the club of
'first affiliate sales' from the Mosaic
program.
"Thanks guys for your guidance and coaching."
Dan does a whole lot of the work for you, making it as easy as possible for you to succeed.
He picks an affiliate product for you to promote (a good one that produces residual income); does the keyword research; provides tips via his email newsletter; provides training via weekly teleconferences; and answers questions and helps you on a private members' forum - no extra charge. As an optional extra, he'll even build your website for you, if you want him to.
Here's a testimonial which was posted in a comment on an article at AssociatePrograms.com by Arthur Wesley:
"I subscribed to Dan's program in May. I want
to compliment the IM Masters (and there are a few)
who work tirelessly with the membership as a group,
one on one, through the forum, newsletter and personal
mailings, to achieve a level of experience and success
second to none. The price could easily be set to
several hundreds of dollars a month for the privilege
alone. Approximately 30 and 40 dollars a month is
*insane* when these people are willing to do most of
the work for you! I believe membership is limited and
nearly maxed-out, so I would suggest to those of you
that crave success and financial freedom to act now,
before you lose out. Thank you Dan, Adam -- all of you!
Kudos goes to Allan for bringing this opportunity to
our attention!"
I don't think anyone anywhere is offering to do so much for affiliates to make sure they succeed.

4. Internet classic now free
============================
An Internet classic, "Make Your Knowledge SELL!", which was selling for $49.95, is now free.
If you've ever had even just a vague notion that one day you'll write an ebook and sell it on the Net, I suggest you add this ebook to your library.
It helps you with a heap of brainstorming tips - "idea igniters" - and a specific system of finding and using your creative spark, which everyone has.
It helps you conjure up a topic and title, gives you tips on how to write the ebook, and then describes exactly how to market and sell it.
If you think writing and selling your own ebook sounds too difficult, this book could change your mind.

5. We bought it
===============
We bought John Reese's Traffic Secrets 2.0.
John sent me review transcripts of the 12 CD-ROMs which make up the core of Traffic Secrets 2.0 but he didn't send all of it. He didn't send the 377-Page Training Guide, the Workbook or the Action Blueprints.
So although Jay and I devoured the transcripts we were left wanting more. We wanted the whole picture. Now we're eagerly waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
Deciding to get the course wasn't a difficult decision.
John generates millions of dollars, attracts visitors by the million and has got THREE websites into the top 500 on the Internet. Since the first version of Traffic Secrets, he's done thousands of tests on hundreds of traffic techniques.
He doesn't just know what works. He knows exactly what you can most effectively spend your time doing. And he tells you in this course.
If you want to learn how to get traffic from someone who is at the top of his game, get this course.
It shows you cutting-edge breakthroughs in how to attract hundreds of thousands of potential customers to your websites, without an awful lot of work.
John gives you a more detailed description of what's in the course here...

6. 21 ways to help other people
===============================
On our affiliate forum, "dukesand" is asking for ideas on how to build a business that will help others while helping him.
I had a bit of fun and quickly came up with 21 suggestions, some of them not exactly serious.
Perhaps you'd like give "dukesand" a few more ideas?

P.S. I hope you like a new FASTER forum. Our programmer solved the problem that was slowing it down.
