1. How web video boosts sales and affiliate commissions
=======================================================
Here’s an important story for affiliates and affiliate merchants.
It’s the inside story on how web video has dramatically boosted sales at SiteSell.com, generating dramatically larger sales for SiteSell and larger commissions for SiteSell affiliates.
It makes you wonder why more affiliate merchants aren’t adding video.
Joe Chapuis of WebVideoZone has the details…

2. Nifty free time-saving web tools
===================================
Here’s a useful page to bookmark.
Jonathan Leger has been busy creating a variety of free web-based tools which are useful for affiliate marketers, AdWords advertisers, and Internet marketers in general.
There’s nothing to download and you don’t have to hand over an email address.
You can use these tools for all sorts of research. However, experimenting with some of these tools should give you ideas for niche websites and ideas for new articles you can write for existing sites.
Here’s what the tools do:
AdWords City, State Keyword Generator creates a customized keyword list for every city and/or state in any state of the U.S.
AdWords Occupations Keyword Tool gives you a list of occupations combined with any keywords you provide, allowing you to target almost 1,000 job titles in your AdWords campaigns. When I tested this tool it returned 976 results.
AdWords Keyword Generation Tool creates a list of AdWords keywords based on a set of lists you provide. A huge time-saver for AdWords advertisers.
Keyword List Generator creates a list of keywords from the keyword or phrase you provide, digging deep into Overture’s keyword suggestion tool to provide you with a larger list of keywords. (Note: If you’re using this tool you need to remember that the Overture tool combines singular and plural and combines phrases using words in a different order, so results can be misleading.)
Domain Name Buyers Tool finds domain names that are made from keywords which received traffic last month from Overture. It will also tell you if the domains are available for registration. You can also use your own list of keywords instead of getting keywords from Overture. (Again, good for ideas but results can be misleading.)
PHP Link Cloaker Generator makes a simple link cloaking PHP file for you to save and use for your affiliate links.
Back Link Analyzer analyzes the backlinks to any domain name or URL, giving you the top anchor text (words in the links) plus a full report of all linking URLs.
Keyword Competition Analyzer analyzes the top 10 results in Google for any keyword set and tell you how many backlinks each result has, which is a good indicator of how many you will need to rank well for those keywords.
Link Partners Tool locates potential link partners by finding sites that have a links page related to your keywords. It also gives you the PageRank and number of backlinks for each page.
Misspelled Keyword Generator compiles a list of common misspellings for any keywords you provide.

3. Your own ebook – now cheaper
===============================
Robert Blackstone is a good guy. He does the research and most of the work for you, not just researching ebook niches, but actually providing you with an ebook you can sell. Actually, lots of ebooks.
He provides a professionally written sales letter, professional looking graphics, a list of keywords, autoresponder courses to help you sell each ebook, a forum where you can get advice, a video showing you how you can make your ebook unique, etc… all sorts of things to get you started fast along the track to selling your own product and collecting 100% of the sales price.
Robert has found that providing four ebook packages a month was too much for some of his members, so he’s giving members new, cheaper options.
“You can select 1, 2, or 3 ebook packages each month from the 4 we provide,” Robert says. “This way you can select the most relevant packages for your business and time constraints.”
This is a fantastic deal for anyone who wants to get started selling their own product.
When he first launched, Robert gave me a special discount link for my readers to use.
Check it out here. There are only 8 spots left, so you’ll have to hurry or you’ll be disappointed.
