‘A User’s Manual For The Human Experience’ by Michael W. Dean is, according to the website promoting the book, NOT your mother’s self-help book.

Well, unless your mother is an open-minded, entrepreneurial libertarian… and perhaps a member of the National Rifle Association.

Actually, I’m a mother and I like to think I’m open-minded, entrepreneurial and a libertarian. And although I’m not a member of the NRA I am taking up sports shooting… so maybe it is, at least, my children’s mother’s self-help book…

Google News Now by Eric Rosenberg is an excellent step-by-step guide on how to get your website into Google’s Google News index. Why have your site included in the Google News index? Simply because Google News results have a tendency to trump other results in the search engine results pages (SERPs) for any given search. Here’s what I mean…

Somewhat randomly, I did a search on “wind farm” and guess what came up at the top of the first page of results? Was it any of the websites that have been optimized for the search engines? No, it was Google’s News results. Check out my screen capture below.

There are dozens of products out there that try to teach people how to make money selling products online. The only problem is that people take that information and then choose topics that are completely wrong for making sales. Desperate Buyers Only separates the wheat from the chaff and shows you how to choose topics and write books the directly appeal to people who are likely to buy from you. They are desperate for information and want to know how to solve their problems now! You can imagine the kind of automatic urgency these niches have, and how easy it is to make sales if you approach them in the right way.

Author Alexis Dawes has been quietly making money with these methods for the past several years. The newest edition of Desperate Buyers Only has drastically changed from the first. The changes that are made are solely about developing traffic to your desperate buyers sales pages, and not about finding the desperate buyers themselves. This is refreshing because a lot of “make money online” teachers develop a method and then leave it out there for eternity, whether it works or not. The fact that Alexis has gone back and edited her book so completely speaks a lot of her character. Alexis wants you to succeed.

The quest for “marketing secrets” seems to be never ending, at least you would think so by how often the term is used for info-products. Are there any real secrets shared in this guide?

Before I answer that, here are some general comments on the guide. It contains 11 separate marketing methods, spread over 40 pages. A few pages are devoted to each “secret”. Each is expounded upon with just enough detail and examples to make it possible to take action. The guide has an entertaining style. The pacing is good, and makes for a quick read.

Dennis Becker is the mastermind behind Instant Cash Generators, the 5 Bucks a Day method, and the new Action Enforcer software.  The videos I want to tell you about today go hand-in-hand with his 5 Bucks a Day ebook.

I’ll tell you straight off the bat that while I think the information in the videos is very good, it is all complimentary to the 5 Bucks a Day ebook.  I bought these videos first and liked them so much that I went out and bought 5 Bucks a Day, Jr. (the version of the ebook that doesn’t include membership in the forum–although it offers an upgrade).

Tiffany Dow’s Building an Ebook Empire is a manual suited for internet marketers at all stages of development.  It’s the best book I’ve ever read on how to create and market an information product.

This book covers all aspects of researching and marketing your own written information product.  It even includes the technical details (such as how to create a sales and download page, code for banner and text ads, etc.).

I love Daniel McGonagle’s MarketersRelief.com.  No, it’s not the be-all and end-all of internet marketing.  But yes, Marketer’s Relief has exactly what the IM newbie needs in order to start making money online!

In fact, I would recommend Marketer’s Relief over any other “Newbie Guide” out there (perhaps in conjunction with Dennis Becker’s 5 Bucks a Day (also available in a cheap “Jr.” version) as the ultimate newbie starter kit.

Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate is one of those products that I heard about for a long time before I actually purchased it. The product was ground breaking at the time it was written with its fresh approach to affiliate marketing. Although many people are now using the technique that is shared in the book, it’s still a viable way to create streams of income from affiliate marketing.

The first thing that makes Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate stand apart from other products out there is the down to earth sales letter. It doesn’t come across as a over-hyped product. The author Chris Rempel speaks matter of factly in his sales letter which is reflected in the matter of fact tone of the product. The entire product is light on fluff. He only gives you what you actually need to find the right affiliate products, develop his specific style of site and then drive traffic to the site.

Affiliates can be a goldmine for info-product creators. However, many product creators simply put their products on Clickbank and hope for the best. They concentrate more on promoting their product the masses than courting affiliates. When you recruit a team of affiliates to promote your product, you can multiply your efforts and increase your profits.

There are a lot of products out there that teach you how to become an affiliate for someone else’s product. There are also lots of products that teach you how to create an info product. But very few teach you the secrets that the top Internet marketers know – affiliates can make or break your business!
