Learning From The Super Bowl Ads

Today is the biggest day in sports in the United States. Super Bowl 44 is upon us. One of the best things about Super Bowl Sunday is the commercials. people will go to the bathroom during game action in order not to miss the ads. I admit, I look forward to the commercial myself. I love to get new ideas for my own promotion. I like to watch how companies try to get their message across and try to embed their brand in the minds of viewers. There will be no shortage of places to re-watch the ads following the game as well. Youtube is the place to start. In fact, several companies are already releasing their teasers on Youtube. So take a break and enjoy the big game today, but in the back of your mind see if you can learn something from these million dollar ads that you can apply in the same or smaller scale to your own site promotion.

Below is a cute Etrade baby commercial outtake video:

Best Spinner Now $7 For 7 Day Trial, Then $77 A Year

I can tell you that several people took advantage of the early bird deal that Best Spinner had. That deal ended early this morning, but you can still try the Best Spinner for 7 days for only 7 bucks. After that trial period, you will be charged $77 dollars should you decide you want to keep it. After you use it, I do not know why you would not want to keep it.

Is $84.00 still a bargain? It depends on if you use it. Should you only spin 1 article a month, that would cost you $7.00 an article. You will pay that to have an article written by a service. To me that is breaking even only spinning 1 a month. Should you decide to use it as a tool on a weekly basis, you can get creative and set up an outside "Link Wheel" along with submitting totally unique copies to the different article sites.

Most people will buy this tool and spin only a couple of articles and let laziness take over. Others will buy it and use it and get creative with it. You have to decide which group you are in. The tool is easy to use, but you have to use it. It will not serve it's purpose if not used.

10 Things You Probably Did Not Know About Me

I thought we would have some fun on a Friday. I put together a list of 10 things that most people, including my friends and family, do not know about me. Can you relate to any of these things?

1. I can usually identify most cups of coffee by brand after just one cup. Friends and family call me the Rainman of coffee.
2. I would not and did not eat caramel until the age of 40. I thought I hated it! Now I can not live without it. I will put hot caramel on ANYTHING I can.
3. I was once named the top Dominos Pizza manager in the United States based on several ranking criteria. This was back in the late 80's.
4. I am a recluse obsessive compulsive person and I absolutely love it. On a normal week I might spend 6 hours a week outside of my own house. I am not a person that has to touch a door knob 20 times, but some of my obsessive compulsive rituals are quite unique. I absolutely love it. I attribute it to most of my success.
5. I forced future Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith to fumble twice in one game while we both were in high school and played against each other.
6. I am that guy that orders bacon cheeseburgers plain. Just meat, cheese, bacon and bread. Cooked medium rare as well.
7. I hated mowing the lawn as a kid, but now it is the highlight of my week during Spring and Summer. I love it so much, that it is one thing I must do on my birthday every April if it is not raining. I consider it a present to myself.
8. I consider Excel to be the greatest computer program of all time. I love numbers and stats and what you can do with them.
9. I left home at the age of 17 with only my car and my clothes. Lived on my own ever since.
10. I have every piece of recording that Andy Gibb ever made. He was the younger brother of the Brothers Gibb, better known as the Bee Gees.

The Warrior Forum Is No Place For A Newbie

Let me start off by saying, I love the Warrior forum. I dedicate an hour a week to surfing around and reading there. There are really some great tips, ideas, ebooks, tools and products that are hocked there as well. All of that said, it is no place for someone new to this business to be. The problem lies in the fact that a newbie does not know what the good stuff is and what the bad stuff is. They are the ones that fall for the guaranteed number 1 in Google products and the submit your site to 2000 search engine type post. There are more things that are sold there that are a waste of money, than good stuff. If you are newbie and insist on surfing there, do it with the intention of just reading first. Read everything. Read the whole thread, not just the sales pitch. Get to know who the most reputable posters are there. Yes, I am a regular there, but you will not recognize my name. I am easy to spot after you have read there on a daily basis. If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Remember that in this business there are only methods and plans. Anything that sounds like a shady cheat or practice, is one. The search engines might not catch you now, but they will. The good stuff on the Warrior forum usually, but not all the time, rises to the top. All of that said, a newbie should learn the basics first and learn how to make $5.00 a month with any site before jumping head first into the Warrior forum. It is the deep end of the pool with Playboy bunnies and drug dealers. There are no lifeguards there as well and you can drown very easily and noone would ever know it.

Get Best Spinner 45% Off Until February 5th

The Best Spinner software that I mentioned back in January is now out of Beta mode and now requires a yearly subscription. If you got a chance to try it free, you know how good of job it does in spinning articles. If you did not get a chance to try it free, I can attest that it does live up to it's name as the best spinner. I spun 10 articles for article directories and everyone passed a Copyscape test and a review from Ezine Articles as well. Like anything else though when it comes to spinning, you need to try to spin as thorough as possible and keep the article as natural sounding as possible. It is good for both the surfer and the search engines. From now until February 5th, the introductory pricing is only $47 a year (45% off the normal price). After that date the price will jump to the normal $84 a year. I will continue to use it for my article directory submissions as the time saved and quality output justifies the yearly price. Watch the video below on how it works.

Using The Ask.com Q&A Feature For Ideas

I have been playing around with Ask.com the last few days to see what is new with it. I have not actively surfed the site for a long while. I do like the new Q&A feature though to spark some ideas of article topics and related questions surfers ask in regards to a niche. I used it more for an idea launcher more than anything, but did unearth a great keyword phrase and niche today, by just playing around on the site. I plan on building a site around the niche using the Commission Ritual method and am very confident it will do reasonable well in no time flat. By reasonably well I mean at least $100.00 a month site according to my projections and research. Play around with Ask and see if you get some ideas from it's newer features. Pretty cool.

A Newbie Needs To Learn Method First

It is so confusing to those new to this business, especially those with no web experience to start with. Newbies are bombarded with marketing of things they do and do not need right out of the chute. They are easily influenced by one little success story and will chase it as if it were a magic bean. Tools are great, plugins are great, but in the hands of the newbie that does not understand the process, they are worthless.

When a newbie can actually see the results of a process they learn actually make them money, then and only then can they begin to get serious at expanding outwards from their. Many try the "mud on the wall" approach and while a few make a few bucks, they can never reproduce the process.

I see many, many IP's come and go through this site and the BANS forum. Very few ever earn more than $100.00 in their affiliate marketing careers. The failure rate is incredible, just like any business. The 2 best places for a newbie to start in my opinion is first reading and learning the Commission Ritual process and earning money that way. Then graduate to the Niche Site Guide to learn how to implement products listings into a site.

The best thing about the Commission Ritual process is that it also addresses using, installing and setting up Wordpress. This is something every newbie struggles with. Try it for $4.95 for 7 days. You will see that this is a must for a newbie and will get you earning money to start recuperating your start up cost. Once you learn the method, you have the hard part behind you. Don't buy another tool until you learn the method of making money the right way in this business.
