Interestingly, my wordpress cms theme – one of the premium wp themes out there just got a mention as part of the new Affiliate Game Plan launch from Rob Benwell and Taylor Feltcher.

What was interesting to me is that WPREMIX was used as a good example of an affiliate program that is clearly making Taylor a lot of money – over $4,265 from the example video he shows as part of his pre-launch.

Now, rather than go on about this product launch (if you are interested in it here it is -  Access Affiliate Game Plan) I would rather talk about the wordpress cms theme which is a premium wp theme and what is so good about it.

What is WPRemix

WPREMIX is an awesome wordpress content management system theme used as the basis for Product Launch Vault.

In this blog, I am using it primarily for the blog template aka magazine module(1 of 5 provided) that is provided for free as part of the core purchase but the real power is the page templates used to provide awesome different looks and feels as well as great content.

If you go to the demo section of WPRemix and look at all of the different page template designs you can see the power and how you can create a lot of different look and feels.

One tip is to download them into a PowerPoint document which you can use for creating websites for companies in your area i.e. online marketing for offline businesses. it works and works well!

Note: Here is a link to all the wpremix page templates that I use when designing websites for clients.

In the picture above, this is an example of one of the 10 different home pages available with sections for inner pages for:

1. Products
2. Images Galleries
3. Events
4. Contact Forms
5. FAQ Pages
6. Features

and many more.

It is very good so if you are looking at a top wordpress cms theme, you can do no worse than to download WPRemix, I seriously suggest trying this premium wp theme out and I can give you a lot of tips if you end up buying it. Good Luck

I came across Alex Jeffreys for the first time during the Andrew Fox launch of Affiliate Millionaire and have now seen he is next in line to become a bit of an internet guru with his latest pre-launch  and the first item being his free report  Gurus Nightmare which is an incredible 95 pages. His goal in 2010 is to break the million dollars a year mark and I can see after studying his free launch report that he will do this.

This report is written in the same way as the Rich Schefren reports and is his “Final Chapter”  starting with Gurus Dream in September 2008 and Newbies Nightmare in June 2009.

In both cases the result of the report was Alex’s own coaching program – Marketing with Alex which surprise surprise is exactly what we are building up to in this pre-launch. But what has surprised me with Gurus Nightmare is that this report has actually MADE ME THINK.

What is Gurus Nightmare?

Gurus Nightmare is all about marketing and how important this is for your business.
We are at a point in time where social media is enabling any “little guys” in marketing move up quicker than ever and so called “big guys” have to now watch out as you can get instant feedback on anything through twitter, Facebook, YouTube and so-on.

Think about some of the last big launches and what has happened. I can think of two where feedback was not positive and this will certainly stop me from following them in the same way – namely Arbitrage Conspiracy and Google Cash Detective 2 – HOWEVER if you look at something like The Video Boss, I have heard nothing but praise – makes you think right?

No-one can  afford to slip up and not offer VALUE anymore

Be transparent in your marketing and JUST BE YOU

Key Takeaways from the PDF

• In order to make money online, you need to become a marketer first. Stop being a prospect and become a marketer
• An idiot with a plan will beat a genius without a plan
• People will write about you if you give out value by providing content for FREE
• If you follow a proven formula and learn it then you can make money every single night
• Websites don’t make money it is the business behind them that does
• It’s all based around building a list
• You need to be hands on learning how to automate a business, then you can focus on marketing it
• Learn at a smaller level before trying to play with the big guys – you will not be able to compete with Eben Pagan, Jeff Walker and Frank Kern if you are just starting out!
• The best selling products are the best marketed products
• Building a list doesn’t make you money, but having a list and running marketing campaigns to it, makes you tons of money

And finally:

Look at the Internet Marketers out there and do things differently by:

1. Start to study their stuff
2. Look at how they sell to you, not what they sell to you
3. Start to model it
4. Look at their squeeze pages
5. What products do they offer for free
6. What do they try to sell you once you sign up for a free offer
7. What are their email campaigns like, to keep trying to get you to move from prospect to customer?
8. Rip off their model and start to use it yourself

I recommend getting on the email list in order to get the follow up stuff too – Download Gurus Nightmare and start to study him just as he says

What is next in the Pre-Launch?

On the 5th April, Alex will be holding a webinar – Easy Cash Webinar with go-live happening on the 6th April

Check out these good mobile marketing advertising examples that have been released by the StomperMobile guys. I get the impression that the sign up has not been what they expected, what with sending out this content plus now the list of content for lesson 1.

It has got me thinking though these mobile marketing advertising examples are great particularly for offline businesses particularly that this could give companies a leading edge against others e.g. restaurants. According to Dan Hollings, these have all had increased results by 16% or more in a business.

The war between Facebook Advertising and Google Adwords is going to pick up according to an interesting statistic from a newspaper article I have just read today.

Facebook targets $2bn as it overtakes Google

What is happening is that global advertisers such as Unilever, Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble are already moving away from building expensive microsites towards constructing Facebook pages for their brands and accoridng to Ciaran Norris from Mindshare

Some of the biggest direct digital advertisers are shifting budgets from Google to Facebook

This is shown in that last week Facebook overtook Google for the first time as the most visited website in the US, according to research firm Hitwise, which clocked Facebook at 7.07 per cent of all web traffic, just ahead of Google’s 7.03 per cent

What this shows to me is that learning about Facebook advertising is going to become more and more important and tools such as what Ryan Deiss is teaching about Facebook – Facebook Ad Power is going to be huge. I covered this product back in mind February in my initial review and then the follow up detail about the facebook ad creation process

If you want to learn more about how to succeed in facebook advertising, I suggest it is time to investigate this further whilst this product is still on the market

Check out Facebook Ad Power today and see what you think

Jack Mize from Texas Wealth Club has launched his LocalCashMethod system which has a novel way of looking at internet markting for offline businesses.

This area is a gold mine for any internet marketers and I thoroughly recommend getting into this local marketing area yourself as I have. There are so many local businesses around you who do not have Internet sites, do not know what to do so any help you can provide will help them big time. Check out businesses such as auto repairs, chiropractors, accountants, dentists and so on

Anyway, Jack has created this video explaining his system which is kinda neat.

How to turn earning a measly $3 per day into a full time income all using this awesome local search method

Jack Mize, is a local marketing expert and for the past 5 years he has helped hundreds of small businesses get ranked on the search engines in their home area.  During this quest he discovered one little technique that he thought was a complete flop but little did he know that his “failure” would turn into a nice monthly passive income.

The technique is simple, and Jack as  perfected this so called “flop” which he gives an overview in the short video

Check out this video and you will see what I mean – Local Cash Method.

I just read this great tip using YouTube to drive traffic to your site from the Associate Programs newsletter by Allan Gardyne and had to share it with you:

I skipped straight to the “Advanced Ninja” techniques and I came across this amazing tactic to generate a huge amount of traffic from YouTube.

Now, he doesn’t make any videos at all. He just “buys” them.

So he finds videos that are on the topic of the site he is promoting. So that could be your own product, or an affiliate product.

He then negotiates with the owner of the video via the YouTube private message system to place an ad in the description of the
video. From then on, the traffic rolls on in.

His return on investment is huge.

He’s paying for the ad within the first 1-4 days.

After that, it’s all gravy.

Rinse and repeat.

This is one of the tips from Traffic Ultimatum which has been launched today by George Brown. All i can say is WOW love it, let me know your thoughts in the comments …
