Hi everyone! I thought I would post a blog today because several people got worried when I disappeared. I know I’m either emailing daily or I fall off the face of the Earth. The reason is I focus on something. In this case, it’s PLR and the Branding Challenge and answering emails. I have the Branding Challenge closed to everyone who’s not participating, but I SO wish I could share those blog posts with you!

Branding Challenge

It’s amazing how it’s unfolding – slower than 30 days because this is the guinea pig stage, but AMAZING at the revelations people are having about how to pursue their online business. I’ve seen some growth in people that’s incredible for such a short time. I was also thinking of releasing a week at a time for sale to the public, so when we’re finished with the first 7 days’ worth, that gets released. I have a lot of people wanting in who missed the initial launch, so this may be a way for them to do it.

And since I want it affordable, I’ll probably do $1 per day, so the first week’s worth would be $7. Then if they want to move on, they can buy week 2, and so on. Once it’s all finished, I’ll probably just sell it as one 30-day pack, period. Let me know if you think you might want in on the week pack.

Protected My List Again

I got asked by a well known marketer I’d never interacted with before if I would promote their site in return for “pretty much anything I wanted.” He’d been told by many people that I was the one to go to because I had a list of stay at home mom types. It’s one of the many freelance sites, where marketers get cheap writing – like REAL cheap.

I had no clue what it was, so I checked it out. I told him no. My reason? It encouraged writers to write for way less than I advise. I explained my position – what Ghostwriting Cash was all about (getting paid MORE) and he asked what I felt WAS a fair price. I told him I advise writers to start out at $7-10 and scale up to $30. I even advised that he implement a top tier program and not only did writers have to prove themselves to use it, but buyers did too!

Anyway – just want you to know, I don’t trade my list for “pretty much anything I want.” I’d rather hold onto your trust than throw it away for my own greed. I hope you do the same with your own list – don’t abuse their trust. I could have easily blasted my list one time and hundreds of you would have signed up to it. That’s not what’s in your best interest. I sleep good at night

How Long Have I Been Doing Internet Marketing?

I am SO bad with time. Someone asked this so let me see. I quit work in 1999 and started working online as a ghostwriter. I know I joined Warrior Forum when I made the announcement that I was quitting working for others and becoming a marketer myself. Warrior Forum says I joined in October 2006, so it’s been five years of fulltime marketing on my own?

I guess part of my ghostwriting time was spent marketing myself in a way because I was marketing my services, branding my name, networking, and becoming a leader in my service niche. So I’d say 12 years! Hindsight is always 20/20 – lots of shortcuts I wish I’d known but those bumps and bruises along the way helped me.

For instance, getting screwed by marketers mySELF as a freelancer made me fiercely protective of MY students. If I’d have everything handed to me, I may have thought it was perfectly normal to promote for “friends” regardless of what they sold, etc. Who knows? I know I’m proud of my down moments that I felt hopeless and didn’t quit during, though.

PLR ATM Student Questions Someone Submitted

1.) With respect to PLR, why would potential customers want to buy PLR from me when they can go to any website and buy it directly?

Well you’ll be one of many websites they DO buy from. PLR buyers are not loyal to just one entity for the most part (this is a good thing). They go around to many resources and find information in their niche and buy it all up – because it’s so cheap, they can afford to do that! If they find five excellent providers, they’re happy!

2. ) Backlinks – I know (or at least) I think backlinks are extremely important for one’s website to get visibility. I tried using the link juicer but I ended up cancelling my subscription as it is not intuitive at all and I have yet to find a help desk. So my question is what do you do for backlinks?

I don’t. I post the packs and build my list. Most of my customers find my PLR through Google or through a signature file link when I participate on Warrior Forum. I also have my email list set to blast a Tweet out, too.

3.) Finally last question – do you make any changes to the PLR that you buy and resell or do you just resell with no change or sometimes make changes and brand as your own?

I don’t buy and resell PLR – I have a rule that people can’t buy and pass along PLR right to my own PLR. When I use PLR that I have bought in the past, it was as is on a niche website for something like Amazon products.

Is There a Better Day and Time to Run a WSO?

Just got asked this again and it’s a frequent question. My answer is, maybe – I don’t know. Not much help, am I? Personally, I never worry too much about this. I usually post mid-morningish – not first thing, when people are waking up and bumping WSOs. I want that rush to move through first. And I don’t usually post on a Friday or Saturday night. But I heard everyone before saying Tuesday morning was best so what happened? A slew of Tuesday morning people flooded the WSO section. LOL!

As a WSO scanner, I move through and look at several pages’ worth to see what’s posted since last time I was there OR I use the search function, so the keywords in the title are important.

Angel Fund

I’m vetting some more people for use of the Angel Fund right now. Will let you know if more funds are used for it.

Congratulations

Want to give a big shout out to Racquel today – she’s having success after two years of learning IM and now using my course. She’s ghostwriting and had a great story about standing up against lesser money (and they hired her anyway) and I thought that was fantastic! So good for you, Racquel! Keep up the success

Hang Out With Me?

I will be doing a Google Plus hang out tonight if you’re on. I’ve never done it before. Probably around 7ish? PM – Texas Standard time. You’ll need to go circle me on G+ and I’ll circle you back and then when you see my Hang out, you join it. First time for me- be gentle. Just thought we could get to know each other, say hi, all that jazz

And no, I won’t be wearing a Halloween mask – it’s just my face

Linked In PLR

It’s coming tomorrow or later today – I’ll put it in its own post

Tiff
