I just got word of a new giveaway starting on Monday, so there is still time for you to sign up as a contributor for free and start adding people to your list.

Here is the link to sign up as a contributor:

If you do not have a gift to giveaway for the event, you can use the Free Traffic Profits guide I offer on the homepage or make yourself a branded ebook over at Viral Ebook Explosion.

StomperNet released their SMARTS program but I am NOT writing to get
you to buy it.

Instead, I want you to go through two of the f.ree resources they
gave away as you can learn a tremendous amount from them.

The first is a 50 minute video that gives you 3 strategies on how to
incorporate social marketing into your business.

–> http://www.onlineprofitscoach.com/web2-video.html

The second is a 50 page resource guide that will give you another 6
strategies on how to take advantage of Social Marketing. You can
get the guide from the box next to the video.

–> http://www.onlineprofitscoach.com/web2-video.html

Neither of these will cost anything and are pure gold in my opinion.

If these two reports get you fired up about the potential of social
marketing then you can always get the full course, but I will warn
you that it is not cheap.

Either way, take some time this weekend to really study these two
resources and more important put some of the tips to action in you
business.

It can be as easy as starting a blog, using social bookmarks, or even using video.

But to really take it up a notch you need to know what you are doing, do it right and stay on top of all the rapid changes that are happening.

Unless you have been living in a cave or you are not on any of the internet marketing “Guru’s” lists you have probably heard of StomperNet by now. They have been releasing a bunch of videos on the power of Web 2.0 and you can learn a lot from them.

Well, they just released a 40 page strategy guide on using Web 2.0 and it is pure gold in my opinion. It contains real actionable information that you can use now.

And the best part is it is Free! I urge you to download it, print it out and study it. And most importantly, put it to ACTION.

Well, Lara Saad of www.I-Make-Money-On-Facebook.com says you can and she is giving away an iPhone to help get more readers to her blog.

Go check it out and enter for your chance to win an iPhone.

Also, check out Facebook Social Marketing for more tip on monetizing your Facebook account.

Well, I decided to finally test it out and here are my results.

I have a site that sells an ebook with accompanying video
tutorials in the music niche.  I really don’t do a whole lot with
it and it shows because my sales conversion rate was at .15%.

I know, that sucks.  On the web a good rate is around 1-3%!

So I decided to make a short video with clips from some of the
video tutorials and pointed out some of the benefits of the product.

It was nothing special and I made it with Camtasia screen recorder
and Powerpoint with background music.  It took me about 2 hours to
make and is about 2 1/2 minutes long.  Real simple with no bells or
whistles.

I then uploaded it to YouTube and Google Video and placed it on my
salespage, above the fold, using the template that John Reese gives
in his “Rebirth of Internet Marketing” guide.

So, what are the results?

To date is has received 75 views on YouTube and 45 on Google Video
in about a week.  And the conversion for my site has risen to
around 1.5%! (very respectable, especially compared to what it was)

So I guess that reaffirms the power of video!

I am going to throw together a quick tutorial on how to make a
video for everyone but all you really need to get started is the
trial version of Camtasia Studio and Powerpoint.

Go give it a try and let me know what your results are.

It is a great questions because the amount of links you have
pointing at your site is a MAJOR factor in how well your sites rank
in the search engines.

One way to get links is to submit articles to article directories.
But, Google is starting unrank many pages on article directories.
Just go to ezinearticles.com and look at some of the older
articles.  The PageRank bar is grayed out.

So here is a better way to use articles.  Instead of submitting
them to directories, go find other sites in your niche and offer
them content for their site.

Most webmasters will jump at the chance to get f.ree content for
their site.  Simply give them a unique article (one you have not
used elsewhere) and include a link or two in the article back to
your site (using keyword rich anchor text).

You will be surprised at how many people will accept your article
and post in on their site.  It is simple and fairly quick way to
gain valuable backlinks to your site.

Or…

An even better route is to join Article Underground and you will
get 400 articles a month. Then you can just modify them a little
and offer then up to other site owners.

Plus you get to post on AU announcement blogs that are PageRank 5, 6
and even 7.  Believe me when I say those links are powerful.  There
are over 60 at last count.  That’s a lot of links!

You can check it out here:

Talk about a waste of time!

I also dread going out and trying to get quality links to my site.
It’s just not something I enjoy.

But, quality content and quality links are the two most important
factors for getting high rankings in the search engines.  So even
if you don’t enjoy them you must do it to be successful.

Well, I have a little secret weapon that I use to take all the
grunt work out of getting links and writing content.

It’s called Article Underground.  AU gives you 400 optimized
articles each month and they also have 24 announcement blogs which
allow you to post links to your articles on to get quick, easy and
quality one way links to your site.

Now, it is not completely automated because you still must spend a
little time rewriting the articles to make them unique.

But it takes me a bout 10 minutes to rewrite an article compared to
the hour to write one by myself.  All you need to do is change the
title, rewrite a couple sentences in your own words, and add some
of your own insight.

It so simple and saves me a ton of time.

But the biggest advantage of AU is their announcement blogs.  I have
never come across an easier way to get one way links to my site
from high PageRank sites. Their blogs are PR5, PR6 and they even
have a PR7 blog! Imagine getting a PR7 link to your site!

Luckily, AU has opened up a new membership and if you act fast you
can secure your spot and start seeing the results quickly.

Go take a look for yourself…

==>  Article Underground

You don’t need market research or reciprocal links. You get a tons
of how-to video. And solid SEO advice that you can use right away.

You can modify the articles however you like. Use them for both
affiliate and AdSense revenue sites.
