thefrenchmarketer.com Jeff Walker, the creator of Product Launch Formula, interviews Sebastien, the French Marketer, about Product Launches. An amazing case study !
Here is a great simple way to make money… Take action!
Seriously go and start building an email list or put up 1 Facebook ad directed to an affiliate product.
The trick is to do 1 thing per day.
Go!
This is what goes through your customers head. Common sense dictates that the more cool stuff you offer the more people will grow to like you and eventually buy from you.
Selling is great, we all deserve to make profit. Just time your sales messages strategically, there is no need to post a sale everyday to your wall. A sure fire way for people to “unlike, defriend and ignore” you. If anything we want to engage our customers and get them chatting about us. This is the end goal. For example with Twitter every 100 tweets you can make a sales offer, not every 10.
Unless you’re Starbucks it will take time for you to grow your business, even they had to! Your Fan Pages, Twitter, LinkedIn etc will take time to build. You want to attract your market, so just be as consistent as you can be. Just remember to be engaging, humerous, controversial where needed and give great content.

Lots of talk about this subject! Google’s market share is enormous. It continues to grow daily and they keep acquiring great companies that are related to the internet and people searching for them.
Simple reason, people trust organic search results. The first page, and generally the top1-3 results are what people click on the most. I have seen screen shots that capture peoples eye movement and they actually tested this! You can imagine how much traffic your page would get if you are number 1 for the search term: Money or Insurance.
If there are over 100,000 searches for a term per month you’re going to get a large portion at the top spot! So obviously there is a lot of competition in this space to do this. Companies spend FORTUNES to make it happen.
1. Post Job at Elance.com
For SEO Work
Top Spot in Google for 5-7 Keywords (make sure these keywords are high volume searches!!)
Pay ONLY for GUARANTEED results
2. Escrow Money
Money is held UNTIL your position is reached
1. Previous Client Results
Previous clients sites and keywords (good firms will show these immediately)
Were the keywords simple to rank for? (low search volume etc)
2. Price Comparison
Price is important sometimes, don’t always be a cheap ass in this area, the results can be worth it
3. Strategy
White Hat only (white hat means ethical techniques to get you ranked)
Black Hat is unethical and punished by Google (your site won’t EVER show up!)
Simple, huh? Well you will want to make sure you pick the right team, and see if they have any ongoing fees for maintaining your position, because this can happen and you end up loosing your position.

Webinar’s are online conferences, most people will be familiar of them these days. But just in case, they are simply a medium of engaging your market via a online seminar hosted by an outside service. You conduct a video or powerpoint presentation in which people can engage with you or you can present. Often you can sell something at the end. The best use of this method is to build your e-mail list, create content you can give (webinar replays) and sell products.
There are MANY webinar providers. It depends on the level you want to go to, to be completely honest. Because you can pay quite high membership fees and if you’re only doing an occasional webinar, it may not be worth it and a free service (normally shows advertising in your webinar) is what you could use. Pro’s and con’s with both really.

One incredible strategy you should implement is called an “Evergreen” webinar. This is simply a pre-recorded webinar you can have run WITHOUT your presence. But to the user, it looks brand new and even shows a list of other people attending, giving it an authentic feel. This means you can host 3 webinars per week, each one for 1 hour in length with a sales offer at the end and you don’t have to be there. You can simply focus on driving traffic, monitoring your sales versus advertising spent and the people who register also help you build your e-mail list as well!
This is a SUPER idea you should immediately implement, it could tie in perfectly for your upcoming product launch to.

For some strange reason the Earn Money Online market is a haven for crappy products, internet scams and over-valued courses. I guess its just the nature of the apparent simplicity of being able to type a few words on your computer and turn it into some sort of cash machine. Or at least that idea. In the real world Online is the same as Offline despite the obvious differences. What I mean is, in the offline world a traditional business sells products at a market fair price in which people or the market set. If its the wrong price it won’t sell.
“Under promise and over deliver”…or better yet, “give more than what people expect” they are forking over their hard earned cash which in turn creates a wonderful lifestyle for you. If your product helps people earn a return on their money or learn a skill then that product is fair, it should also be comprised of pricing options, bonuses, refund periods longer than 30 days and excellent customer service options. Obviously this is not a post about price points or offers, rather it’s about the more you charge the better the results and skills people learn. Its quite basic. DELIVER ON WHAT YOU SAY YOU WILL.
Regardless of your beliefs about life there is one law we are all accountable for that is as real as gravity. Cause and Effect. Also known as Karmic law, sowing and reaping, get back what you put out etc…This is as true in physics as it is in natural law. If you put out bad, you will get it back. If you put good out, you will get it back. So if you use products that are going to spam, black hat SEO, or rob people of their money you can be rest assured it will come back to you. It has to. It’s a law. This is why there is so much focus on delivering value and content to your customers, because its in harmony with real success.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. I am an optimist and tend to see the good in everything. Although many years in business has also helped me learn, often the hard way, that there is a lot of truth to this. You are not going to earn $1,000,000 in your first month online, or even $20,000. There are exceptions to this OF COURSE, but do you want to put your life on an exception? I don’t think so, I think you want to build a sustainable, profitable long term residual income? The other thing to be aware of is that most products that are cheap and state how you will make massive profits the next day or week and validate it with screen shots of their profits is a key sign of bullshit. Remember these people are SELLING their own products, meaning making profit from SALES not always the function of their product. The other thing is they have been in business for years and been through the seminars, paid the money to learn and already KNOW how to use Paid Advertising, which at a minimum is what you need to generate immediate results. Just THINK about it, its not all auto-pilot, however it appears and if it is, it still violates natural law – you cannot get something without nothing and that is not a business you can live off.
What Ever You Sell or Create Give Value & Be Transparent!

Google IO 2009 – ThoughtWorks on App Engine for Java: An Enterprise Cumulonimbus? Martin Fowler, Rebecca Parsons Enterprise software pundits are now gazing metaphorically skyward. Theres all this talk of clouds, but what kind of clouds are coming, and will they be friendly? We begin by describing some applications weve developed for App Engine, including implementation of other languages, such as JRuby, on top of the App Engine for Java implementation. These implementations demonstrate the breadth of capability provided by App Engine. We then examine some of the strengths and current weaknesses that we encountered. We also describe more about the implications for testing that arise when developing on App Engine. We will also present an initial framework for characterizing these differnet clouds and examine how these characteristics will impact the adoption path for enterprises and the kinds of applications these enterprises will move to the cloud. Of particular interest here is the central role of Big Table in App Engine. Broad adoption of this of this platform could lead to lots of lightening striking at the dominant role relational data base systems currently enjoy.

Part of the 2011 Entrepreneurship Conference. Innovation and creativity are learnable skills, not inborn talents. In this talk, Dave Blakely presents a set of principles for successful innovation, regardless of an organizations size, type or location. The heart of any innovation agenda is a carefully chosen interdisciplinary team, typically including members with backgrounds in technology, business, and other relevant industry-specific knowledge. Creative leaps can be inspired by empathetic human research, and insights are distilled in synthesis sessions. Techniques such as brainstorming can help teams to direct their creativity, and prototypes can be used to improve visualization and mitigate risk.
