Some interesting figures from one of Internet Marketing’s top Affiliates:

Hey guys,

I’m proud to announce that the doors have just now opened to my latest creation called “Affiliate Jumpstart”

Let me ask you some quick questions..
Are you an Affiliate Marketer struggling to make decent commissions online?
Have you thought about Affiliate Marketing and are just not sure where or how to get started?
Don’t have a list or know how to build one?

If you’ve asked yourself these questions, Keep reading..

What is Affiliate Jumpstart and how can it help me?
Affiliate Jumpstart is a complete and free system for Affiliate Marketers of all experience levels.
Inside, you’ll get an easy to follow, viral ebook that outlines all the proven methods, tips and
secrets that many successful marketers including myself use on a day-to-day basis to maximize
Affiliate income and build opt-in mailing lists.

Some highlights include:

- Customizable, fully hosted squeezepages
- Pre-written autoresponder series
- valuable bonuses
- Training videos for upgraded members
- A complete autopilot affiliate system
- much more!

The rebrandable ebook takes you by the hand in a plain-English, no-fluff fashion so that you can
minimize the time it takes to become a successful affiliate while avoiding many common pitfalls.

Why I created it:

Let me give you the straight up truth..
There are so many programs out there today that are more interested in benefiting the program owner
than they are covering the basic fundamentals of showing people how to succeed online as an
Affiliate Marketer.
This really bugs me so I decided to do something about it and created something that was free that got down to the nuts and bolts of how to do what I do on a daily basis so you too could remain free of the chains of corporate slavery.
Because, let’s be honest. That’s EXACTLY what that is..

You see, I work full time from home and make my own hours and do what I want when I want.
Yes it does take effort to get to that point but would you rather work for a boss you can’t stand who could
care less about you?
Affiliate marketing has allowed me to take control of my own future and never have to worry about
alarm clocks, kissing ass, wearing a tie for pitiful wages or doing anything against my principles.
If you’re still reading this its because you are at the same crossroad that I was at just a few short years ago.

What is your choice?
Are you happy?
Is it time to make a change or are you content with having a limit placed on your income and potential according to your traditional job title?
Are you done placing your future in the hands of others?
What about your family’s future?
Are you ready for Affiliate Jumpstart?

You may or may not have noticed that nifty looking widget to the right on this blog
Thanks to Jon Olson from ILoveHits.com,  a brand new community just for traffic exchanges was recently created on the Ning network.
In less than 48 hours, membership surpassed 100.
Its growing pretty quickly and there is already lots and lots of discussion taking place.
This new community is tied into the new show hosted daily by Mr. Olson and friends.
Before this announcement, I had never used Ning but now Im completely hooked.
There are already some great people there to network and share ideas with.

Splash Page Maker Relaunches Today!
This morning, my friend and partner Steve Ayling has re-opened the doors to his
ever-popular and super-easy to use Splash Page Maker.

http://www.ryanhogan.com/recommends/spm

Splash Page Maker lets you make your very own splash pages to help you
get better results in the Traffic Exchanges.
They are fully hosted for you too, so there’s no messing around with having
to upload any files to a server!

Using standard affiliate pages in traffic exchanges no longer works as
people do not have time to read the whole page.
This is where splash pages come in as they are short, sweet and grab attention
much better, so this helps boost your overall conversions and sales.

Besides a great new design, Steve has made several improvements for added
convenience plus a few new features like a downline builder featuring exclusive
splashpages you won’t be able to find anywhere else!
There’s one available there for Promo Lotto too but you’ll have to log in to check it out

That’s it for now. Have a great weekend!

Focus Internet Marketing Seminar
Will you be in DC between the 14-18th?
I’ve never been to an Internet Marketing seminar, so this should be a blast!
I can’t wait to meet some of you guys in a couple days!
I thought this day would never get here.
Man, the older I get, the faster time seems to fly by! lol.

I’ll try and post some pics here from the event later on if I can!

Well, I finally got one of my domains back this Tuesday. Woo Hoo!

I want to share with you an important lesson I learned recently on why you can never be too careful while doing business online.
ResaleRocket.com is finally back up and in my hands again after 4 days of downtime, hours wasted on the phone and $80 bucks spent..

As I mentioned earlier, the domain was registered with one of my former webhosts, “Bluehost.”
Last Friday, the site went down and nobody from the Bluehost support team could tell me why.
I called on Friday to see what was going on..
A support tech told me they were having database issues.
I called again Saturday.. One tech told me they didn’t know why the site was down.
I called again and another tech said he’d fix the record for the domain and I’d be good to go in 20 minutes.
Another tech told me it was a DNS issue.. (DUH, they changed it on me)

Its Monday and the site is still down..
I have no idea why because the domain registration was extended until 2010.
The Whois database said it shouldn’t expire until 02/2009 which was kind of odd and in the BlueHost member’s area, It said the domain expired!
WHAT??!! Why aren’t any of these dates matching?
At this point I was freaking out.. What the heck was going on here?
I thought, if this was correct, why wasn’t I notified somehow that it was about to expire?
They had my phone number and email address on file, so what’s the deal?

Tuesday morning, the site is still down and I’m a “little” pissed..
I went ahead and forked over 80 bucks to renew the domain and get it out of a domain auction pool where I guess someone else could have picked it up but luckily, no one had..
Why this ever was an issue when I paid up on that domain until 2010? I’ll probably never know.
I am currently in the process of changing the domain registrar over to Zoot Host to ensure this does not happen again on any of my domains.

All I can say is this..
Support at BlueHost is equally poor for their hosting in my opinion, which is why I quit using them for hosting over a year ago.
I know I sound like a broken record every time I mention Zoot Host, but this is one of the reasons why I am so happy with the customer support Jon Atwood and his team provide.
They know their stuff and this mess that I just went through with BlueHost would have never taken place if the domains were registered at ZootHost originally.

Moral of the story:
Be careful of who you choose to host and register your domains with!
Research carefully and listen to what others are saying.
Since your business relies on hosting for your sites, choose a company that values the business relationship it has with its customers and knows what they’re talking about when you have a problem or when your business is on the line.

Below is an excellent article from Jon Atwood’s blog about the current policy Aweber has
when it comes to their affiliates promoting their links in the Traffic Exchanges.
Definitely worth a read!
