<p>In the spirit of Thanksgiving and Christmas, I&#8217;ve got a real treat for you today.</p>
<p>This is totally free. Nothing to buy.</p>
<p>Also, this is NOT part of some product launch either.</p>
<p>Just some good old-fashioned AWESOME content with no strings attached. <img src='http://www.johncow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how all this came about&#8230;</p>
<p>One of my customers makes a KILLING online during every major holiday (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine&#8217;s Day&#8230; etc).</p>
<p>Around here, we call him &#8220;Mr. H&#8221;.</p>
<p>Would you believe that as an Affiliate&#8230;</p>
<p>===&gt; Mr. H Sold $96,543.61 In Halloween Costumes!</p>
<p>This happened just two months ago.</p>
<p>INSANE numbers!</p>
<p>And&#8230; that&#8217;s using free traffic.</p>
<p>Last month, I paid him to create a series of videos that outlines the *exact* &#8220;holiday cash&#8221; process he uses.</p>
<p>My original plan was to release this with Mr. H as a new $47 product.</p>
<p>But, at the last minute I said &#8220;the heck with it&#8221; and decided to give it to you for free.</p>
<p>These are *not* cheesy videos. They are *very* detailed with easy to implement, step-by-step action plans.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll see what I mean once you watch them.</p>
<p>Follow these 6-modules (watch the videos) and you can generate some quick cash this Christmas just like Mr. H does.</p>
<p>Who couldn&#8217;t use a little more &#8220;jingle&#8221; in their pocket to spend during the holidays, right?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how you do it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.holidaycashgrab.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5906" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="books" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/books.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="211" /></a><a href="http://www.holidaycashgrab.com">http://www.holidaycashgrab.com</a></p>
<p>P.S. &#8211; Incase you skimmed this message, go check out this free video training that I&#8217;m giving you. It is *very* in-depth and this is NOT some &#8220;sales video&#8221; that I&#8217;m trying to trick you to go watch. I know you are smarter than that.</p>
<p>This training is tasty and &#8216;meaty&#8217; but most important, it delivers results.</p>
<p>Go dig in:</p>

<p>Welcome to my Dominating Video Bonus Page!</p>
<p>Sign up for &#8216;Dominating Video&#8217; through my link on this page and you will also receive the following INCREDIBLE BONUSES&#8230;</p>
<h3><strong>Dominating Video Bonus #1: One Year unlimited access to Video Post Robot version 2.0 ($300+ value): </strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5894" title="videopostrobot2" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/videopostrobot2-300x29.png" alt="" width="300" height="29" /></p>
<p>The doors to this are not open because it is being used by my private members right now only and is going to be released to the public in 2011 but you can get free access to it for one year. This is not just a video submission tool but also ties into my network of 10000+ blogs and will post your videos there as well&#8230; flooding the internet with your videos.</p>
<h3><strong><strong>Dominating Video</strong> Bonus #2 &#8211; Private webinar with myself, Jason Potash and Mark Dulisse:</strong></h3>
<p>This is for only those that buy through our link and will take place in a couple weeks. This webinar will be for our private group where you will be able to talk directly to Mark, Jason and I about dominating Google and making huge revenue.<strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong><strong>Dominating Video</strong> Bonus #3 &#8211; Free Access to Mark&#8217;s &#8220;Dominating Google&#8221; course that he just released a few months ago ($197):</strong></h3>

</strong></p>
<p>I had to call in a favor to Mark Dulisse to get this one and talked him into it. This is not something being given away for free or has resale rights, the only other way to access this now is to pay $197&#8230; but I got this thrown in for free.</p>
<h3><strong><strong>Dominating Video</strong> Bonus #4 &#8211; Free Access to two of Alex Goads best selling products ($100+ Value):</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5896" title="alexgoad" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/alexgoad-300x134.png" alt="" width="300" height="134" /></p>
<p>This was another arm twisting and begging but I convinced Alex Goad (partners with mark on Dominating Video) to also throw in &#8220;Zero Friction Marketing&#8221; and &#8220;Google Traffic Loophole&#8221; absolute FREE!</p>
<p>As you can see these are all AWESOME bonuses that are not simple resale right packages you can get anywhere. These are solid products that compliment each other and will give you EVERYTHING you need to succeed with this system.</p>
<p>This product has my full 100% support&#8230; it is very worthwhile and i give it my highest recommendation. Do yourself a favor and check it out now.</p>
<p>Remember, to get the bonuses, you must use this link &#8211;&gt; <a href="../dominatingvideo" target="_blank">http://www.johncow.com/dominatingvideo</a> (Yes it is an affiliate link and I will make a commission from it)</p>

<p>I LOVE using SEO and free traffic sources to rake in loads of revenue. Whether it be my own product or an affiliate offer&#8230; the fact is I don’t just teach about doing this, I use it and love doing so!</p>
<p>I am not one of those people (which seems to be more and more common these days) who release a product and when you actually look at the product owner&#8217;s actual results&#8230; they are no where to be found in the search engines.</p>
<p>That is NOT the case with my business. For example, my software CommentKahuna ranks number one in Google for both…</p>
<ul>
<li> link building software</li>
<li>free link building software</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johncow.com/dominatingvideo" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5873" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Dominating Google" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/3.png" alt="" width="406" height="239" /></a></p>
<p>Because of that, Google alone (this is not including jv partners or any other traffic source) sends me 50 to 70 opt-in&#8217;s EVERY day&#8230; and these convert into sales on the back-end (EVERYDAY).</p>
<p>I am not telling you this to brag but because I want you to understand that I am extremely good at SEO and the reason is I love it&#8230;  but I have to be honest, there are some things with SEO I hate.</p>
<p>As you know, video is one of the most powerful ways to quickly rank in the search engines but I have to confess that I HATED video marketing (notice the word hated and not hate&#8230; that is because I no longer hate it). I knew it worked, I knew it got amazing results… but the fact was that out of all the ways to get free traffic, video marketing was my obsolete least favorite strategy.</p>
<p>I am not saying I did not use video marketing. In fact I am the owner of one of the original video submission tools called Video Post Robot and I am in the process of releasing a version 2 which is completely online and SUPER powerful (you can actually get complimentary access to it but you need to keep reading) and I use it regularly and get great results. I have used Video Marketing for years&#8230; but that did not mean I was getting the results I could have and it certainly did not mean I enjoyed doing it.</p>
<p>The problem was, I never had anyone show me how to really make videos that are first of all easy but actually get excellent results&#8230; without costing a fortune or taking days.</p>
<p>Yes you can use tools that turn articles into videos.. with an automated robotic voice… but ask yourself honestly, do you watch these videos&#8230; do you enjoy listening to &#8220;Mr Roboto&#8221; tell you about some product&#8230; do you buy things because of those videos?</p>
<p>Well, I have had my eyes opened to the full potential of video marketing, thanks to a guy (you may or may not be familiar with) named Mark Dulisse. The guy is an insanely intelligent marketing genius when it comes to video marketing and he has taken video marketing to a completely different level for me and all I can say is this guy is someone you need to listen to.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.johncow.com/dominatingvideo" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5874" style="border: 0pt none;" title="2010-11-30_1200" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/2010-11-30_1200.png" alt="Dominating Video" width="426" height="79" /></a></p>
<p>Mark (in partnership with Alex Goad) is releasing a product today at 3pm called Dominating Video (<strong><a href="../dominatingvideo" target="_blank">CLICK HERE and check it out</a></strong>) and it has totally blown me away with more &#8220;ah ha&#8221; moments then any other video course out there. If you want to take your business to a higher level than I encourage you with every bit of personal recommended encouragement I can muster to check this out. I am so impressed with it that I am even throwing in a few bonuses that I think you are going to be VERY impressed with.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Bonus #1 &#8211; 1 Year access to Video Post Robot version2 ($300+ value): </strong>The doors to this are not open because it is being used by my private members right now only and is going to be released to the public in 2011 but you can get free access to it for one year. This is not just a video submission tool but also ties into my network of 10000+ blogs and will post your videos there as well&#8230; flooding the internet with your videos.</li>
<li><strong>Bonus #2 &#8211; Private webinar with myself, Jason Potash and Mark Dulisse:</strong> This is for only those that buy through our link and will take place in a couple weeks. This webinar will be for our private group where you will be able to talk directly to Mark, Jason and I about dominating Google and making huge revenue.</li>

This is not something being given away for free or has resale rights, the only other way to access this now is to pay $197&#8230; but I got this thrown in for free.</li>
<li><strong>Bonus #4 &#8211; Free Access to two of Alex Goads best selling products ($100+ Value):</strong> This was another arm twisting and begging but I convinced Alex Goad (partners with mark on Dominating Video) to also throw in &#8220;Zero Friction Marketing&#8221; and &#8220;Google Traffic Loophole&#8221; absolute FREE!</li>
</ol>
<p>As you can see these are all AWESOME bonuses that are not simple resale right packages you can get anywhere. These are solid products that compliment each other and will give you EVERYTHING you need to succeed with this system.</p>
<p>Skeptical?</p>
<p>Hey, I do not blame you at all&#8230; so  I have a couple options for you.</p>
<p>If you need no convincing and see that this is something that will explode your business, then <strong><a href="http://www.johncow.com/dominatingvideo" target="_blank">CLICK HERE and check it out now</a></strong>.</p>
<p>But.. if you are just not sure, well then I have scheduled a webinar with Mark for Wednesday at 9pm eastern time just for you. This webinar will serve two purposes.</p>
<p>1. I asked Mark to ensure he brings to the table something very cool that everyone on the call can take away and implement right away. So no matter what the webinar will be worth it for you.</p>
<p>2. It will give you an opportunity to get a better picture of exactly what this course is all about and make a more informed decision.</p>
<p>If you want to be part of the webinar, you need to register here &#8211;&gt; <a href="https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/681975923">https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/681975923</a></p>
<p>Now for the good and bad news.</p>
<p>The good news is you need not worry about the bonuses, we will be keeping these up until after the webinar&#8230; but they are time limited. The bad news however is if you want to be on the webinar, there is only room for 300 people&#8230; so you better register now.</p>
<p>This product has my full 100% support&#8230; it is very worthwhile and i give it my highest recommendation. Do yourself a favor and check it out now.</p>

<p>If you living on a lone island the ability to generate a significant income online is going to become an uphill battle. Your network of colleagues, clients, mentors, and peers is the greatest asset you will possess in the Online Marketing industry. There is no such thing as a JV if there is only one party, and you can’t be mentored by someone if you have no contact with them. This business revolves around <strong>relationships</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Importance of Building Solid Relationships?</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5867" title="build-relationships" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/build-relationships-300x182.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="182" />Many new marketers entering the online industry focus much of their effort on building niche sites, optimizing these sites, writing articles and web content; and then they sit back and hope for the best. While you can’t sidestep any of these aspects, you should spend more of your time on the areas of marketing that will generate long-term rewards. If you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule, you will know that a great portion of your success in business comes from 20% of your effort. My experience has proven that spending a large part of that 20% on building solid relationships ensures long-term success.</p>
<p>Beside my personal experience, I have engaged with many leaders in this industry, and ALL of them are surrounded by a network of people who are of similar standing. These leaders have partnered with others to develop innovative products, some have helped their fellow vendors gain recognition by recommending their products, and some have entered into strategic alliances with others in an effort to dominate their chosen niche.</p>
<p>It is difficult for a lone-ranger to reach the top! You need the skills, experience, and influence that others bring to the table. The advice and opportunities that can come from a colleague or mentor can often expand your business considerably. And if you are surrounded by distinguished people, their success is bound to rub-off onto you.</p>
<p><strong>Building Relationships is about Giving</strong></p>
<p>If you are a newbie and find yourself surrounded by a community of prominent marketers, you should never take on the role of being a leech: someone who only takes and never gives, someone who marches to the most influential people requesting one-on-one assistance. This is completely the wrong approach! The best case scenario is that the influential marketer might feel sorry for you and give you a few titbits of information. On the other hand, you might establish yourself as the person to avoid completely.</p>
<p>The right approach will be for you to firstly take the initiative and gain a thorough understanding on a specific subject. Read, research and absorb all the information at your disposal. Before you know it you will be well-informed – maybe even a semi-expert – and you will be able to add value by actively participating in conversations on the subject matter. You might even find yourself assisting others. If you comment regularly on a highly-esteemed blog – ensure your comments stimulate conversation, and bring your newly acquired knowledge to the community. The more value you contribute, the more likely it is that you will get noticed.</p>
<p>I spend a lot of time removing spam comments from my blog, but on occasion I will come across a real “gem” of a comment. This type of comment makes me want to know who the person is that left the comment. If this particular person asks me a question in the future or requests assistance from me, I will be obliged to offer my help.</p>
<p>You see – the more you give in life and in business the greater the chances are of you receiving when you are in need. Although everyone isn’t wired the same: some people might still turn down your plea for help, but there will be others who you’ve positively affected through your contributions who will approach you with new opportunities and ventures.</p>
<p>A mutually beneficial relationship requires you to do your part – if you’ve proven that you have something of value to offer then you are well on your way to building solid business relationships.</p>

<p>Are you one of those people that sit there and over analyze everything to death&#8230;..rarely following through with anything?</p>
<p>Have you joined numerous membership programs (from online business opportunities, to your local gym) only to quit because it didn’t work (or so you say)?</p>
<p>Have you been trying to earn money online but find yourself jumping from one idea to another, never committing, or allowing yourself to be constantly persuaded by others?</p>
<p>Are you so scared that you are too intimidated to take long-term action on pretty much anything?</p>
<p>I feel in my heart that 90% of the people failing at achieving great results (whether that be in business or just life) are failing because they are too scared and it&#8217;s that fear that&#8217;s keeping them from success.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5858" title="fear" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/fear-300x241.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="241" />Is it wrong to be scared?</strong></p>
<p>In my opinion the answer is a resounding&#8230;</p>
<p>YES!</p>
<p>Especially if it is preventing you from accomplishing what you want in life.</p>
<p>I am not saying that I haven&#8217;t experienced fear or that it&#8217;s not normal to be hesitant or reluctant. No one knows what the future holds for us and fear is a normal emotional response to specific stimuli but it&#8217;s how you handle that fear that makes you what you are.</p>
<p><strong>Does your fear cause you to give up at the first sign of trouble?</strong></p>
<p>I see so many people who give up so quickly on something the moment things start to get even the slightest bit rough. These people seem to carry this trait throughout their entire lives&#8230; in how they handle road blocks, in their relationships, jobs, hobbies, health and pretty much anything else you can think of.</p>
<p>They start out optimistic and have this almost euphoric state of excitement. Kind of like when you start a new diet and can envision what you will look like when you get into shape or you start a new business opportunity and feel so positive that &#8220;this is the one&#8221;.  There is this surge of energy that can cause you to even become vocal about how this time it is different.</p>
<p>Then the road block hits!</p>
<p>Suddenly as you get into the new adventure something happens&#8230; the excitement starts to disappear, frustration starts to settle in at how overwhelming the task ahead appears and then fear takes over&#8230;. and you stop!</p>
<p>Have you ever heard of Pavlov’s law?</p>
<p>This is a really rough synopsis and pardon me if it is a little different then you remember but basically, it was an experiment where people were electrocuted with a slight but painful shock when a red signal appeared. They would be shown a green light and then shortly after the red light would appear and SHOCK!!!</p>
<p>This happened enough times that eventually as soon as the green signal was fired these people&#8217;s bodies would instantly react like they were going to be shocked even though the red light stopped appearing and they were no longer being shocked. They were so afraid once the initial green signal happened that they instantly treated it like the green signal was the shock.</p>
<p>Ask yourself truthfully if you have allowed yourself to become afraid of the green light?</p>
<p>Have you gotten to the point in your life that the moment the “signal” appears you completely give up and react like the worse case scenario has happened&#8230; even though it hasn&#8217;t?</p>
<p>I do not give a crap what your excuses are. You can blame evil internet marketers, big business, the government, you can blame genetics or you can even blame your mother for not breastfeeding you… the fact is you have no one to blame but yourself.</p>
<p>Life is freaking hard… and trying to get ahead in it is even harder.</p>
<p>Every day I am hit with something negative, whether it is an illness in my family, news of a recession, a failed business project or even a customer that over reacts and takes out their frustration by questioning my ethics. The bottom line is how I react to those situations is what makes me who I am.</p>
<p>If you want to succeed at anything, then you need to accept the bumps in the road. Accept that you are going to have to learn new things and those new things might not come easy to you. Do not blame others for that, you need to figure out how to make them work for you.</p>
<p>Stop being scared and blaming everyone else for your lot in life.</p>
<p>I have 101 reasons I could use to try and justify why I might fail at something… but I have a better one for why I am going to succeed. That reason involves three people that matter to me more than anything. My beautiful daughters Gayle and Jillian and my soul mate Charlene. When it comes my time to leave this world what matters most to me is what my life meant to those three special people.</p>
<p>How will you be remembered by those closest to you?</p>
<p>Stop allowing fear to run your life and stop allowing excuses to prevent your success.

<p>OK, if you have been around Johncow for a bit you know that this is a blog.</p>
<p>**SHOCK!!** OMG&#8230; really.. your kidding right? Thanks for the insight &#8220;Captain Obvious&#8221;</p>
<p>Yup.. it is&#8230; but this is not an &#8220;Auto Blog&#8221;.</p>
<p>The reason for that obvious but needed statement is to clarify that there is a HUGE difference between the two and I actually have been &#8220;Auto Blogging&#8221; longer then I have just been blogging&#8230; in fact I have been auto blogging since 2006.</p>
<p>One of the reasons I got into auto blogging initially was for creating blogs that were used just for link building. That however, quickly turned into something of its own and today I am responsible for working with thousands upon thousands of auto blogs.</p>
<p>The reason I wanted to let you know that is because when it comes to Auto Blogging&#8230; <strong>I know my stuff!</strong></p>
<p>What I have done (with the help of my business partner Jason Potash) is created a really cool PDF called&#8230;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blogblueprint.com/blunders/johncow1" target="_blank"><strong>The Top 13 Auto Blogging Blunders</strong></a></h2>

<p>You can check it out at&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://blogblueprint.com/blunders/johncow1" target="_blank">http://blogblueprint.com/blunders/</a></strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a quick read, only 17-pages. But, boy it is loaded with good content&#8230; and no filler.</p>
<p>As I&#8217;m sure you know&#8230; auto blogging is a HOT topic these days, but sadly, most of the information out there is still based on stuff that worked in 2007-2009.</p>
<p>In Internet time, 2009 was 6 years ago.</p>
<p>Things change fast, that&#8217;s why I know you&#8217;ll like this report.</p>
<p>It will get you up to speed on what&#8217;s working right now with autoblogging.</p>

<p>If you are trying to make money online, you know that search engine traffic is a HUGE component to your success. The following is a list of 8 Vital Tips for A Successful Search Engine Traffic Campaign according to &#8220;me&#8221; <img src='http://www.johncow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This is how I do things and it works EXTREMELY well&#8230; take it or leave it, this has proven to work for me over and over and over again!</p>
<p><strong>1. One Bite at a Time</strong>: You want to focus on one  primary keyword for the first 3 weeks for each page you promote, I  also recommend you initially only focus on one page at a time.  This is because:</p>
<ol>
<li>It tells Google initially exactly what the page is about.</li>
<li>There will automatically be “variations” added and after 3 weeks you will start to add a lot of variations yourself.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Yes I realize variations are crucial but not at first for a brand new website. Focus on the term you want to rank for and then once you are ranking well or after three weeks, start adding variations.</p>
<p>I talk more about variations further down in this post also.</p>
<p><strong>2. Look at Your Competition</strong>: Don&#8217;t be discouraged  when you don&#8217;t see some competitors ranking in the top 2 or 3 spots that you can beat. What I do is start out by looking competition that looks beatable and is on page one or the top of page 2.  Then I figure out the amount of links I will need to surpass them and increase that by 2X&#8217;s.</p>
<ol>
<li>The search engines might not count all your back links or even find them, so you need to  ensure you have more then the competition is showing.  For example, if  the competition is showing 50 back links, then you will want to have 100 back links  to ensure the search engines (especially Google) sees at least 50+.</li>
<li>If there is nothing that appears beatable in the top 5 spots on page one but  there is in the top 10 to 15, then go for it. Once you beat them you  can progressively work your way to the top position.</li>
<li>You do not want to just match your competitors, you want to BEAT them.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>3. Variations Are Important</strong>: Eventually you are  going to want to use variations.  After three weeks or once you are  ranking on page 1, you will need to start adding variations in the  anchor text links.</p>
<ol>
<li>DO not force Google’s hand here.  Instead, allow Google to  tell you what to use. Use Google Keyword Suggestion Tool – type in your  blog&#8217;s URL and look at what keywords Google tells you relate to your site and then start mixing in some of those terms. I make a list of about 7 to 10 terms that I rotate through</li>
<li>Only use the primary keyword once every three times (30% to 40%)  and  make sure to also mix in terms such as the URL of the site, “check this out” and &#8220;click here&#8221; to  make it appear more “natural”.</li>
</ol>
<p>The fact is Google wants to eventually find variations in your links anchor text and will  actually penalize you eventually if it appears that you are too  optimized from a linking point of view.  That makes the use of  variations an important component to campaign success.</p>
<p><strong>4. Limit Interlinking:</strong> Try not to interlink Social sites, blogs and other websites you are  using to link to your blog. You can interlink a few of them but I try not to interlink any of them. I do not want to risk Google or my competitors being able to uncover everything.</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong><strong>Split It Up:</strong> Make sure that you split the links to you index page and deep links to about a 50/50 split.</p>
<ol>
<li> This does not have to be exact, but the routine I follow is I  try to always promote a deep link when I promote the index page or if I  am promoting a deep link then I will also promote the index page.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>6. Consistency:</strong> Once you are ranking on the top of page 1, try to  maintain an average of one new link a day (approximately 30 a month) with 40% using  the main keyword term and the rest variations</p>
<p><strong>7. Variety is Key:</strong> Make sure to use a variety of link sources and every month you should change it up a bit.</p>
<ol>
<li> Make sure the Google page rank is all over the board. You do not want links only coming from high page rank sites.</li>
<li> Make sure some of the links are rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221;. Remember we want to look natural here and the fact is some people will link to a site naturally and add a nofollow tag to the link.</li>
<li> Do not use the exact same sites every month, make sure to add in new sites. For example, do not use the exact same article directories every month, mix it up and change them around.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>8. Promote Your Promotions:</strong> You want to ensure the search engines  find each backlink you get and therefore you want to ensure you promote  sites that link to you. This can be easily done by bookmarking with  a service like <a href="http://Ping.fm" target="_blank">Ping.FM</a></p>

<p>In case you have not noticed, I have NOT been very active the past few months with blog posts on Johncow or anything for that matter… the reason (if you care)… is my project that I have dedicated 100% into… BLOG BLUE PRINT at <a href="http://blogblueprint.com" target="_blank">http://blogblueprint.com</a></p>
<p>I have been working very close with my Web2Mayhem members and have created the most amazing training and tools for auto blogging that is available. Its nice having hundreds of beta testers to pound and prove out my system that has helped me generate loads of income. You see I have actually been autoblogging since 2006… 2 to 3 years before most current supposed &#8220;Auto Bloggers&#8221; that are selling ebooks on the topic have even been in this business.</p>
<p>I have put all my knowledge into this and I even am giving a blueprint that will see you easily generating $57600 in revenue within one year and only about 7% of those funds will be needed to cover your costs.</p>
<p>I want this to be the best system so badly that I literally dropped loads of other projects and since June have dedicated thousands of dollars and my time to create something that will blow you away.</p>
<p>We are not opening the doors until the end of the month BUT….  I wanted to offer you something that I think is a perfect compliment to the blog Blueprint system that I am releasing and because of that I am going to give you a sweet deal.</p>
<p>You may or may not know this, but Chris Fox, who has made a very good name for himself over the past few years, was mentored by me for a few years starting in 2005 and in fact is now making millions of dollars online and was kind enough to say this…</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The mentor Jason K&#8230; Chris follows his every word and now look&#8221; ~ Chris Fox</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, Chris has a brand new product that he just released with his brother Andrew Fox and they are offering it for only $37. Yes there are some upsells you can expect BUT, the $37 value is incredibly worth while and if you do not take any upsells the  material you get is solid.</p>
<p>So… here is my offer.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bab1dntajitdtaj808pymz6q8a.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5829" title="boxgraphicandtext" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/10/boxgraphicandtext-300x173.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="300" height="173" /></a>If you use this link &#8211;&gt; <strong><a href="http://bab1dntajitdtaj808pymz6q8a.hop.clickbank.net/">CLICK HERE THIS IS THE LINK YOU NEED TO CLICK</a> <img src='http://www.johncow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong> (yes of course it is an affiliate link) and sign up for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bab1dntajitdtaj808pymz6q8a.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">GSneak</a> (which is focused on getting you loads of free traffic to promote affiliate products), I will give you 50% off BlogBlueprint when it launches on October 28th.</p>
<p>Basically that means you will get <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bab1dntajitdtaj808pymz6q8a.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">GSneak</a> for nothing!</p>
<p>I am only offering this to 50 people and I know this is going to go fast so you better take it now before its too late.</p>
<p>I will check the affiliate stats and ClickBank gives your email, so i will contact you and let you know you are on my list to give the 50% discount to for BlogBlueprint.

<p>Gee, what do you think this post is going to be about?</p>
<p>Your content is what is going to truly make you a Trusted Expert &#8211; it is the single most important thing you can do.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been following all the advice I&#8217;ve already given in the <a href="http://www.johncow.com/how-to-become-a-trusted-expert-online/">Trusted Expert</a> series, you&#8217;ve already come up with something of value to provide your users with &#8211; that thing that helps cement you as a Trusted Expert in their minds, whether it be a tool, ebook, audio or video file or report, and that&#8217;s great, but you can&#8217;t stop there.</p>
<p>As I mentioned in the last <a href="http://www.johncow.com/how-to-become-a-trusted-expert-online/">trusted Expert</a> post about site maintenance, it&#8217;s important to your reputation as a Trusted Expert that you continually update your site.  Make sure that you add in new testimonials when you get them &#8211; you can keep the best ones from the past up, but also make sure that there are also new ones, so that people will know that you&#8217;re still doing a great job of helping your customers now, not just 3 or 4 years ago.</p>
<p>Also, be sure you keep up on what&#8217;s happening in your niche, and where applicable, comment on it.  It will add to your Trusted Expert status if you can prove to your audience that you not only participate in the niche, but you&#8217;re also up on what&#8217;s the latest happening.  Put your ideas and opinions out there enough, and soon people will start to look to you for their news and information about your topic &#8211; the very definition of a Trusted Expert.  And if they go to you for information, where are they going to go when they need to buy something &#8211; that&#8217;s right &#8211; to you.</p>
<p>Always respond to customer inquiries, and if you think the information is useful enough, get the original person&#8217;s permission and add it to your site.  Not only are you sharing valuable information with your audience, you&#8217;re also showing them that you care enough to respond to the people who contact you, making other people more likely to contact you (and possibly buy from you) in the future.</p>
<p>Most importantly, don&#8217;t rest on your laurels.  You may have written the best ebook or come up with the best tool in the world to brand yourself as a Trusted Expert.  And you may think that&#8217;s enough.  The problem is, no matter how good the original was, everything on the internet has an expiry date on it.  Eventually, you&#8217;ll need to either update what you have or come up with something new entirely.   By being proactive about this, you&#8217;ll just further reinforce the idea that you&#8217;re an expert in your niche.</p>
<p>Your content is the way you communicate with your users.  Everything you say, and how and when you say it contribute to the overall effect of you being seen as an expert.  The cornerstone of being a Trusted Expert is to provide users with useful information &#8211; not to make a sale.  The sale is the side affect of them trusting you because of your useful content.  So make sure that you put at least as much effort, if not more, into the quality of your content as you do with your marketing tactics and you&#8217;ll be fine.

<p>WOW&#8230; I knew I was impressed but the feedback from everyone else  is totally amazing!</p>
<p>A few days ago I mentioned to you about a new resource for helping you eliminate the tedious work of&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Market research</li>
<li>Keyword research</li>
<li>Content Creation</li>
<li>and more</li>
</ul>
<p>PLUS this resource gives detailed plans of attack for dominating each market.</p>
<p>Well as I said, I was impressed with what was being offered and when I shared it with you I asked for feedback on the free monthly offer and the comments I got back are&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Impressive!</strong></p>
<p>In fact I let the owner Marc know that he can use these comments as testimonials&#8230;</p>
<p>Yes that&#8217;s how good the feedback as been (you can <a href="http://www.johncow.com/get-a-free-membership-at-nichefiles-syndicatekahuna/" target="_blank">click here</a> to read them yourself)</p>
<p>Comments like&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;After having purchased numerous niche packages and subscriptions over the years, NicheFiles is by far the most comprehensive and total package I have seen to date.&#8221; ~ Abi Carmen</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m blown away by this package. I&#8217;ve been a member of a website that starts with Niche and the ending rhymes on the word psychology, and this one simply blows the other site away.&#8221; ~ Michael</p>
<p><strong>BUT THERE IS AS PROBLEM!</strong></p>
<p>As good as Niche Files is, there is something vital missing.</p>
<p>Yes it has great content, fantastic research and gives you a detailed plan of attack for killing it with the data they provide&#8230; but its missing something BIG.</p>
<p><strong>TRAFFIC!</strong></p>
<p>You can build the most amazing site but if you cant get traffic to it, then what&#8217;s the point.</p>
<p>So, I figured I would make this an incredible no brainer value for you. Sign up as a gold member with Niche Files and I will give you a complimentary membership to my SyndicateKahuna blog network  (currently only available to web2mayhem members for $127 a month).</p>
<p><strong>PLUS&#8230; </strong></p>
<p>I will have a one hour webinar that will give you a detailed plan of attack (plus you will get a checklist and pdf) that will have you killing it.</p>
<p>I guarantee that if you follow what I show you, you will destroy anyone else trying to compete with you!</p>
<p>Time for the bad news&#8230;. I am only offering this to 50 people.</p>
<p>Sorry but if more then 50 people get in on this, then it will dilute its effectiveness</p>
<p>So here is what you have to do.</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="http://bit.ly/c4pbWy">http://bit.ly/c4pbWy</a> and signup for the &#8220;GOLD&#8221; package.</li>
<li>Send an email to support@web2mayhem.com and send your proof of purchase.</li>
<li>Give us 48 hours to set up your SK access and we will email you the date of the webinar (will be scheduled for next week).</li>
</ol>
<p>PS &#8211; I am seriously limiting this to 50, so don&#8217;t wait and try emailing me later. Go to <a href="http://bit.ly/c4pbWy">http://bit.ly/c4pbWy</a> now!</p>
<p>Oh and the winner of the previous days contest is Robert McCluskey (Congratulations), we have sent you an email <img src='http://www.johncow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Yesterday I told you about an excellent free offer that my good friend Marc Quarles has put together that gives you&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Detailed market &amp; keyword research (not just basic research&#8230; but very detailed)</li>
<li>Excellent market analysis (shows you exactly how to dominate the market)</li>
<li>High quality PLR content (that is actually REALLY good)</li>
<li>Beautiful and Unique Templates (very high quality)</li>
</ul>
<p>I also mentioned how every month he is giving away &#8220;1 niche pack&#8221; to those who sign up at &#8230;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://bit.ly/bCCGpp" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/bCCGpp</a></strong></p>
<p>This is all cool and everything but I thought&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>How can I make this cooler for everyone!</strong></p>
<p>So here is what I convinced Marc to do. Marc is allowing me to give away one lifetime membership (costs $77 per month) to &#8220;Niche Files&#8221;!</p>
<p>Now that is cool but to make it even better, on top of that I am going to give away a life time membership to my SyndicateKahuna system (costs $47 per month) where you can publish your content to thousands of blogs.</p>
<p>This is a perfect combination of&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Research + Content + Link Building</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8230;and all you have to do to enter for your chance to WIN is&#8230;</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/bCCGpp" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/bCCGpp</a></strong> at sign up for the free monthly niche pack.</li>
<li>Review the package that was sent to you and then&#8230;</li>
<li>Come back here and comment about our thoughts on what Marc is giving away for free each month.</li>
</ol>
<p>This contest closes at 12noon EDT (-4000) on Tuesday July 20th and make sure your comment uses the name and email address that you registered with Niche Files (so we can double check that you did sign up for the free offer) and so we can contact you.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Please do not post multiple comments, a lot of them will go to moderation, so if you submit your entry and do not see it right away&#8230; do not worry&#8230; it will be approved before the draw.</p>
<p>The draw will be a random draw and each comment will be giving a number and then a random number will be drawn using the generator at <a href="http://www.mathgoodies.com/calculators/random_no_custom.html" target="_blank">http://www.mathgoodies.com/</a>.</p>
<p><strong>So what are you waiting for&#8230; go check out this great free offer now at <a href="http://bit.ly/bCCGpp" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/bCCGpp</a></strong></p>

<p><strong>&#8220;Market research and content creation suck!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>That is pretty much the biggest complaint I hear day in and day out from my subscribers, members, customers and pretty much 99% of everyone else I talk to in this industry.</p>
<ul>
<li>They struggle to find <em>good profitable niches</em> that are not already dominated by someone else or will actually convert into revenue.</li>
<li>They cannot seem to grasp how to effectively research the right keywords and domains that <em>get traffic and conversions</em>.</li>
<li>They cannot write good content that provides “<em>value</em>” and will actually give readers something to digest.</li>
<li>Then to top it off, they have <em>no time to do all this and still manage life</em>.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you can relate to this at all… even the slightest bit, then you are going to want to check out this completely free offer from my good buddy Marc Quarles at&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/bCCGpp">http://bit.ly/bCCGpp</a></p>
<p>What he has put together in my opinion is one of the <strong>most impressive packages of research, content, templates and even niche action plans</strong> that I have seen. He covers all your bases and all you have to do is take what he gives you and take action with it.</p>
<p>Now, I am sure that you are sitting there and saying…</p>
<p><em>“Let me be the judge of that!”</em></p>
<p>Well of course and I can help make it easy for you to do that because&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Marc is giving away 100% free a niche pack EVERY month!</strong></p>
<p>I am not talking about just one, one time… but one every month at…</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/bCCGpp">http://bit.ly/bCCGpp</a></p>
<p>This is packed full of 100% fresh, unique and well written content, complete research with an action plan of how to attack the niche and even custom (not cheap or recycled) templates.</p>
<p>It is an extremely good value for the cost of an email address.</p>
<p>But then you say…<em> “What if 500 people all get the same niche pack?”</em></p>
<p>Well then I say… <em>“So What!”</em></p>
<p>I can guarantee you that first of all only 5% of the people that download it will take any action on it. That means only 25 people will do anything with it and only 20% of them will even know what they are doing. That now leaves you with only 5 other people that will do anything worth-while.</p>
<p>That means all you have to do is modify the content (which is very well written) and put it in your own words to make it unique.. and BANG you will have a profitable niche site up in no time…</p>
<p>Yes, it is that easy!</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/bCCGpp">http://bit.ly/bCCGpp</a></p>
<p>Listen, if you struggle with time or just hate doing this part of the business (research and writing) then do yourself a big favor and check out the free niche pack and I know you will be impressed.</p>
<p>Even just check out the research and you will learn a great way to research your own niches.</p>
<p>Check it out at…</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/bCCGpp">http://bit.ly/bCCGpp</a></p>
<p>Do me a favor and once you check out the niche pack, come back here and comment and let me know what you think about it.

<p>Over the past couple of days I have been private messaged and emailed from a few people, who seem to want me to be able to predict the future for them and make everything OK.</p>
<p>They ask questions like&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;If i do this, how much money can I make?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;What do I have to do to make this much $$$  in 60 days?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>&#8230;and the list goes on and on and on.</p>
<p>I have bad news&#8230; <strong>NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE anything like that!</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5803" style="margin: 5px;" title="make money online by getting off your ass" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/donkey20oatie20image1-300x224.jpg" alt="make money online by getting off your ass" width="300" height="224" />Now before I sound too hypocritical&#8230; yes there are things that can be &#8220;Guaranteed&#8221;&#8230; but that does NOT mean that they work for absolutely everyone.</p>
<p>What I mean by that is I can 100% guarantee that if you join my <a href="http://bit.ly/bYGaOk">Web2Mayhem system</a> and you use my tools and strategies that you WILL get a dramatic increase in traffic. I can offer that because I back it up with a 100% money back guarantee and if you get lazy and do not do anything or you do a half ass job; then you will not get good results and I will simply give you your money back.</p>
<p>What I can NOT and will NEVER do however, is tell you that I guarantee that if you do A,B and C that you will earn this much money.</p>
<p>There are just WAY TOO many variables.</p>
<ol>
<li>Is the traffic made up of &#8220;buyers&#8221; or &#8220;freebie info seekers&#8221;</li>
<li>Does the content relate to the audience and cause them to want to take action</li>
<li>Does the offer convert</li>
<li>and the list continues&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p>There is one secret to success&#8230; and one secret ONLY&#8230;</p>
<p>HARD WORK!</p>
<p>You need to understand that I have busted my ass off to create a business that earns 7+ figures a year&#8230; nothing &#8220;just happened&#8221;. The affiliate marketing side of my business for example, is not made up of me making one site and suddenly earning $14000 a month (like a recent product claimed).</p>
<p>THAT IS BULLSHIT!</p>
<p>What you need to understand is it is all about testing, tracking and tweaking&#8230; and doing this over and over again. Not just building one site and BANG you are rich.</p>
<p>My personal affiliate marketing system is made up of making a certain number of new sites every month and then after a couple of months I look to see which ones have taken off and I focus consistent promotion and new content on them.</p>
<p>The thing is NO ONE can be 100% certain that any niche will make them money&#8230; you need to test and try lots of different things.</p>
<p>As a real life example (I am revealing this exact test, showing the domains and everything in the Web2Mayhem next week), I built 5 small niche blogs that are focused on amazon products. I built these blogs following a super easy strategy that was focused on what someone just starting out could realistically do. These are 5 related niches to each other but are each a tight niche blog that only contains a couple pieces of unique content and then is added into my auto content system (which web2mayhem members get) and after 2 months now, I have identified three of the five that are doing very well traffic wise and are converting and this month will net about $400.</p>
<p>The two that are not doing well I am going to give another month and if nothing, I will sell them&#8230; which will more then pay for the cost of them.</p>
<p>The point here is if I just built one or two of them, I might have built only the two that are making no money and from the initial research&#8230; they looked just as good as the winners did. I also made sure to build them correct, use great content and promote them.</p>
<p>You see the only guarantee is the effort&#8230; you have to do something to achieve results.</p>
<p>If you ever saw chariots of fire, a quote that really gets to me is when the character Sybil Gordon says to Harold&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t run, you can&#8217;t win.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>You see Harold was pouting because he got beaten badly in his last race and as a result refused to race anymore because if he could not win he did not want to race.</p>
<p>Well it goes the same with trying to make money online, you do not quit just because you did not succeed on a single attempt. You have to keep racing!</p>
<p>I have heard so many people cry a river saying &#8220;this or that does not work&#8221; only to find out they never really tried or tried some short cut and never put any real effort into it.</p>
<p>It is NOT&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>the tools</li>
<li>the training</li>
<li>the niche</li>
<li>the&#8230; enter your own reason here</li>
</ol>
<p>It IS the work. You have to use the tools, implement the training, test different niches and see what works and then keep doing what works.</p>
<p>Hope that speaks to you on some level and would love to hear a comment or two from you <img src='http://www.johncow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>One thing I am very adamant about is that no matter what system or strategy you are using to try and generate revenue; if you do not make it &#8220;Yours&#8221; it is never going to effectively achieve the results you are after.</p>
<p>For example, in the <a href="http://bit.ly/dn7QKB">Web2Mayhem</a>, I provide a very detailed three phase traffic system that walks members from start to finish on not only how to use the tools but more important then that is <strong>how to GENERATE TRAFFIC.</strong></p>
<p>The training is made up of detailed checklists, videos and flowcharts and is designed with one purpose in mind&#8230; to get more traffic!</p>
<p>There is a HUGE risk though&#8230; and this is why I hate making such detailed strategies sometimes.</p>
<p>The person becomes a robot and does not think for him or herself.</p>
<p>No matter what, the most important thing you have to do, no matter the strategy that you are following, you have to make it your plan.</p>
<p><strong>What Does That Mean?</strong></p>
<p>First of all let me say that this does not just relate to my Web2Mayhem training, but it relates to any system or membership (even ebook) that you purchase with hopes of success. You need to figure out how to make the system fit in with what you are currently doing and figure out how to make it work for you.</p>
<p>That might sound super obvious&#8230; but it is not&#8230; NOT AT ALL.</p>
<p>What works for me is by no means what works best for you. We each have different strengths and ways of thinking and as a result what might flow and seem logical to one person, might be not be optimal for another.</p>
<p>You need to own what it is you are doing, you want to ensure you don’t simply stop what you are currently doing and you need to tweak and test and do what works for you.</p>
<p>A huge thing I see a lot of people doing is they start trying some seo strategy and then a mailing comes out for a new cpa course and they stop what they were doing and start trying that, then a new social media course comes out and they stop again and start over with that&#8230; and the cycle continues.</p>
<p>As made famous in the 80&#8242;s&#8230; STOP THE INSANITY</p>
<p>The fact is lots of money can be made with SEO, PPC, PPV, Media Buys, Social Media and more&#8230; Yes they ALL work. But anyone I know that is doing really well did not focus on all those, they picked one&#8230; got good and profitable with it and are expanding to another. In fact most of them stick with one or two only, cause they are good at it and can manage it.</p>
<p>Stop following butterflies and looking for the next best thing. The diamonds are in your backyard now (read Acres of Diamonds. its a great book) and you need to just stop, pick one thing to focus on, follow the training and advice, figure out how it works and then tweak it to work for you&#8230; then follow the money. What I mean is see what is making you money and then improve on it. Then once you have a system and can maybe hire people to do things for you, and then move on to try something new.</p>
<p>If you have not gotten good at any one thing, have not been able to make your own plan that works for you&#8230; then chances are I can bet you are spending way more money then you are earning.</p>
<p>Enough of my rambling on <img src='http://www.johncow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Don’t forget, there is only a couple days left for my $1 fourteen day trial to my Web2Mayhem traffic system&#8230; you will be glad you did!</p>

<p>If there is one thing I am REALLY good at, it is getting boat loads of traffic to my affiliate sites and what I use&#8230; no exceptions&#8230; is my own tools that I have made and constantly tweak to make better.</p>
<p>These tools are all available in my Web2Mayhem system, which I introduced to the public a little while back.</p>
<p>Some people called this a new service but actually it was being used by my other TrafficKahuna and PortalFeeder members for a couple years.</p>
<p>Web2Mayhem is not a simple tool, not another ebook but rather an <strong>Traffic Generating System</strong>. I provide detailed training with a step by step checklist PLUS the tools to implement the system fast&#8230; and effectively!</p>
<p>Our members who use the system get results. Not only fast results but results that get them TRAFFIC and lots of it!</p>
<p>Its easy for anyone to say they can get you ranking in the search engines&#8230; well I care more about traffic and anyone can rank in the search engines if the term is obscure enough. But how about a term like&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;college jobs&#8221;</p>
<p>Yup, thanks to the web2mayhem, one of our members is now dominating for that term and killing it with traffic&#8230; and that is just one unsolicited result shared just last week at one of our webinars.</p>
<p>What we have done is we have opened up a $1 fourteen day trial that we are taking down on in the next couple of days&#8230; this is no marketing ploy.It will be down by Thursday at the latest.</p>
<p>We only wanted to do a test on this $1 trial and are taking it down on when we either hit a goal of new members or Thursday.</p>
<p>So&#8230;.</p>
<p>If you want to invest ONLY $1 and test my system for 2 weeks&#8230; I GUARANTEE if you folow it, you will see a crap load of traffic and search engine rankings.</p>
<p>Then you can decide to stay as a member or simply say no thanks.</p>
<p>Then even if you say OK and stick around for another 30 days&#8230; you are 100% covered and can cancel and refund (which i know you will not do) and it will have cost you absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>If you&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Want traffic</li>
<li>Want kick ass training</li>
<li>Want a proven traffic blueprint</li>
<li>Want tools to save you time</li>
<li>Want amazing support</li>
<li>Want to tie into a network of experienced users and marketers</li>
</ul>
<p>Then do not bother paying thousands of dollars and/or waste your time with ebooks.</p>
<p>Check out my Web2Mayhem and you are going to LOVE IT.</p>

<p>&#8230;Lend $25 again, change someone else&#8217;s life; rise and repeat for as long as you want to.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s rare that I tell people that they absolutely need to do something.  Sure I&#8217;ve recommended a lot of stuff in the past that I think are great products that I thought could help you make money, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever said flat out that this is something that you need to do right now.  But this is something that you need to do &#8211; right now.  And it&#8217;s not for you, it&#8217;s for someone else.  By investing as little as $25, you will help change someone&#8217;s life forever.  And the best part?  You will even get the $25 back.  So why wouldn&#8217;t you do it?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kiva.org" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://media.kiva.org/global_financier_mom.gif" border="0" alt="Kiva - loans that change lives" width="300" height="250" align="BOTTOM" /></a>What I&#8217;m talking about is kiva.org, a non-profit site that helps get money for microfinance loans into the hands of the people in developing countries who really need &#8211; entrepreneurs who will use the loan to buy business related items like livestock or machinery that will enable them to support themselves and work their way out of poverty.  These small loans will not only literally change these people&#8217;s lives, but will also positively affect their whole community.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<p>1) Go to <a href="http://www.kiva.org">http://www.kiva.org</a>; select an entrepreneur that you want to loan money to.  It could be anybody, almost anywhere in the world, and the amount can be anything from $25 to the full amount of the loan requested.  It could be a dairy farmer in Kenya or a tailor in Bulgaria.  Just click on the &#8216;Lend&#8217; button on the main page and you can browse through all the applicants and choose the one you want.</p>
<p>2) Kiva then transfers the funds abroad to a microfinance partner who administers the loan locally.</p>
<p>3) Watch what your money can do; you then get to watch your entrepreneurs small business grow through email updates.</p>
<p>4) Get you money back.  You&#8217;ll get your money repaid within months.  Then it&#8217;s up to you to decide whether you want to withdraw your money through PayPal, lend it out again, or just donate it outright to Kiva.</p>
<p>Like I said above, I urge everybody who reads this to go to <a href="http://www.kiva.org/">http://www.kiva.org</a> and lend what they can.   How often do you get the chance to really make a difference in someone&#8217;s life?  And if you need it, you will get the money back.  If you don&#8217;t, just keep lending it out to more people.  Over time, think about how many people you could help with just $25.</p>
<p>And the great part about Kiva is that you get to see the results you loan has had &#8211; you see that you were directly responsible for helping someone get the means they need to get out of poverty and become financially independent.  And all you need to do is lend someone $25.  Do it now!

<p>Another important part of being a Trusted Expert is doing proper site maintenance.  And I&#8217;m not talking about just doing testing, either &#8211; it goes further than that.  Bottom line, you won&#8217;t be seen as a Trusted Expert unless your site is properly maintained.  So here&#8217;s what you need to do:</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5753" style="margin: 5px;" title="under-construction-300x299" src="http://www.johncow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/under-construction-300x299.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="229" /><strong>1. Consistently check for broken links on your site.</strong> You won&#8217;t be seen as any kind of expert, much less a trusted one, if you&#8217;re asking people to click on links that then go nowhere.  Pointing people to useful information can only help them see you as a Trusted Expert &#8211; just make sure that you regularly check those links to make sure they are still valid as well as adding new ones when you find them.</p>
<p><strong>2. Make sure to keep all pertinent info updated</strong>.  To give you an example, I was recently contemplating a purchase from an online retailer.  They weren&#8217;t a large, well known brand name, but they looked like they were trustworthy and secure, and since they had the best prices for what I was looking for, I was willing to give them a try.  So I clicked on the &#8216;About Us&#8217; section, which gave me info about their history (good), where they were physically located (also good) as well as some testimonials (should have been good but&#8230;.)  The problem with the testimonials?  The most recent one was from 2007.  And just like that, I lost faith in the retailer, and decided not to purchase from them, because either they hadn&#8217;t had a good review since 2007 and so had nothing to put up, or they were too lazy to proper site maintenance and update their &#8216;About Us&#8217; section more than once every 5 years or so.</p>
<p><strong>3. Conduct some low-level usability tests.</strong> I&#8217;m not saying that you need to go through the whole exercise of conducting full-blown usability tests (unless you&#8217;re a fairly big retailer, and then you absolutely should invest the money in it.)  But what you can do (for free) is recruit some friends or colleagues to do a few simple tests.  Think about something that the average visitor to your site would want to do &#8211; either get information on a specific thing, or make a purchase.  Then go through the steps needed to do that &#8211; how is the process?  If you can get friends to do it who haven&#8217;t been to the site or performed that action before, you can get some very valuable feedback about how your user views your site, an d how you can improve their experience.</p>
<p><strong>4. Ask your customers for feedback on their experience. </strong> And actually listen.  A big part of being a Trusted Expert is building a relationship with your users, and becoming their go-to guy for whatever your niche is.  So once you manage to get them there, listen to what they want.  Maybe they liked most of it, but they&#8217;d prefer if you had user reviews for your product, or they&#8217;d like to see what shipping costs would be before they get to checkout.  Remember, the site is for them, not for you.</p>
<p><strong>5. Keep the site updated, but don&#8217;t change everything all the time. </strong> It can be tempting, in the name of staying current, to always update the site with the latest images and graphics.  But if you change things too much, people won&#8217;t recognize it.  If you invest the time in the design of the site at the beginning, then you won&#8217;t have as much trouble with it.  Strive to maintain a balance between keeping things fresh and keeping things familiar.  You want people to feel comfortable and trust you, but you also want to be seen as current.   I know that was kind of vague, but it&#8217;s something I can&#8217;t give you strict guidelines for &#8211; just be aware of it.</p>
<p>A Trusted Expert is someone who is one the ball, and is always their for their users as a resource.  By performing proper site maintenance, you&#8217;ll ensure that the people you&#8217;ve managed to bring to your site will continue to see you that way, ensuring a lasting relationship that&#8217;s beneficial to you both.
