I almost feel like a relationship has ended. As of this week, you won’t see me teaching people to build entire empires of content on free sites. You’re going to use them to your benefit a bit, but never again will I – or you – rely on sites like Squidoo, Ezine Articles, Blog sites or Hub Pages or anything like them to build our online businesses.

The crackdowns on web 2.0 sites have been staggering. Doesn’t matter if your content’s 100% original, if you own the site you want to link to – if you have a PhD in your niche. They can SHUT YOU DOWN without warning and all your hard work is gone.

This week someone threw me a life preserver. Craig Kaye asked me if I’d tried out Network Blazer yet – it’s kind of a host and site builder all in one. I hadn’t, and was wary of site builders since I honestly couldn’t figure out the one’s I’d bought in the past, I’m embarrassed to say. I don’t have a tech-savvy bone in my body.

See the title of this blog post? I get it via email several times a week. People who read something online that I wrote want to know if my glowing reviews still stand. A couple of weeks ago, a subscriber told me flat out he’d have to mortgage his firstborn to afford it, but if I said Info Product Killer was worth it, he would. He emailed me back days later to say I was right – he was SO impressed.

Then this past week Belinda emailed me. This is what she had to say:

“Hi Tiff,
Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve gotten two back to back emails from people who bogged themselves down in the fine details of something so bad that they got stuck!  Sometimes, you can unstick yourself by following the mantra of this blog post – Keep It Simple, Stupid!

In this case, instead of simply using a template and uploading using cpanel, one person has bought various extra tools – professional website builders and specific FTP tools. Now they had dumped a whole bunch of extra work on themselves – to learn how to use two more tools.

In this case, it’s with IPK – Info Product Killer. The whole purpose, if you remember reading the PDFs or watching the videos, is to QUICKLY get your content up and feeding the search engines. He states that we shouldn’t get wrapped up in making everything perfect – content, etc.

When I buy a product like this, it’s a good idea to follow the basic instructions. If you recall, I whizzed through it so fast initially that I bought the wrong kind of domains. That’s a mistake you don’t want to make. But here’s how I’m Keeping It Simple, Stupid:

1.) I outsourced the content. Since this was for my own sites, I didn’t have to worry about quality as I would with a ghostwriting client.

2.) With the content i got back, I had the urge to correct mistakes like putting the period inside the quotation marks, or fixing it’s to its whenever I noticed a mistake. But I had to stop and post it as is. I was taking too much time rewriting it – what a waste!

3.) I use one template and plug in new graphics. I don’t use any website building software. One person said he looked at the HTML code of the IPK template and it blew his mind. Don’t look behind the curtain! You’ll make it harder than it should be. You don’t need to know complicated code. I use a simple FrontPage program and cut and paste my content in there.

These are just a few ways but you get the gist of it, don’t you? Stop trying to overthink things. I have to rein myself in from time to time, too. Just check yourself on occasion and you’ll be fine

Another good question that came in – someone wanting to know about link cloaking for those Amazon links you create from the Info Product Killer course. I say – nah.

First of all, Amazon tracks you buying through your own link and they’ll shut your account down if you do it and they find out. So it’s not likely that they’ll steal your commission – but more importantly is the fact that most consumers don’t know a thing about affiliate commissions!

It’s highly unlikely that shoppers are going to do this. Now if you were selling an info product to Internet marketers – now THAT’S another story

I got a question that I wanted to address here in the blog so everyone else can follow along.

“Hi Tiffany,
Yes I bought IPK and I love it. I just have a question for you–if you can spare a few minutes. I know I’ll be working on IPK all day (I took a sick day off from work!) What are your thoughts on using domain names with product/company names in them? I understand the 007 model number strategy but on several occasions full product names are used such as http://www.nintendo-ds-lite-pink.co.us. I’ve always been told this is a big no-no because of potential legal issues. Can we get sued for doing this or do companies simply ask you to stop using the domain name if they don’t like it? I know you can’t give me advice but was just hoping I could get your opinion.
Thanks
Amanda”

Okay so here’s my belief – and I’m no lawyer, so if you want solid legal advice, consult an attorney. But I think for THIS purpose, we’re fine. All we’re really doing is shuttling customers to buy from the main company. If they had wanted to, they could have grabbed all sorts of domains with their products in them.

Now if you happened to scoop up FisherPrice.com before they did, I’m sure you’d have a problem. I believe the protocol is that they ask you to stop using the domain if they want you to. Then if you don’t, they could threaten legal action, etc.

But seriously, I am not worried one iota. I’ll also invite the product owner to stop by if he wants to in order to address questions here. So ask in the comments area and if I get him here, he can give you his insight too.

Second time someone’s asked me this, so I thought I’d answer. I recently promoted Info Product Killer – giving my list a special code to get $68 OFF (WSO777) – and the response was overwhelming. Hundreds bought it and those on my list learned about it ahead of the curve of other marketers.

So many people have questions and one that’s come up twice now was “Can Info Product Killer be used with a free site like Squidoo instead of having to buy your own domain?“

The answer is – I THINK so – but I’m not 100% sure, so I’ll test it and see. The product owner isn’t familiar with Squidoo, but I showed him how – if you type in Christmas top toddler toys – I rank #1 with a Squidoo lens. Same thing when you type in top toddler toys 2008 – I’m #1 with a lens.

I can’t give away his formula because that’s not fair to him, BUT I tell ya what – I’ll create the same (competing) pages and we’ll see if a lens or domain turns out better! I’ll replicate my system on lenses and domains – a duel. I believe Squidoo will give my domains a run for their money.

I’m not sorry I did, either. Info Product Killer is one of the rare products I paid a lot for that I was happy to pay more. Check out my review about it here: http://www.tiffanydow.com/blog/info-product-killer-review/

I bought it on the spur of the moment but I am really into increasing my affiliate earnings. The best way I’m finding to make a steady income stream online is through tangible year round sales. I know I’m a big Amazon shopper myself, so I knew it would convert.

My own sites are doing well – but they’re all web 2.0 pages. He shows you how to cash in SEO-wise (very strategic and easy) and also shows a “Tiff friendly” (meaning she won’t lose her shirt) low-cost PPC method for immediate traffic.

Still, my site was indexed in 24 hours and it made money on the very first night it was created using the low-cost PPC method.

P.S. I want to add a review form one of my list members that just came in: “Hi Tiff, I bought IPK through your link and I have to tell you how pleased I am that you recommended it to me. I have been trying something similar, but not as comprehensive.”
