Easy Video Player Review - Part 1

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Easy Video Player is a new program that makes lots of claims:

Supposedly, it allows you to upload a video to Amazon S3 or elsewhere at the touch of a button, it lets you embed links, images, opt-in pages, and, crucially, the publishers claim that it is very easy to use.

I decided to test these claims and do a live review of a first time use of Easy Video Player. Not only that, but the first time user is defnitely not a technical wizzard, quite the opposite. Here is Part 1 of the review:

Good-bye To Google

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Search engines are an Internet Marketer’s best friend and worst nightmare. Google, Bing and Yahoo allow us to find all the information we need right now. Yes, they may swamp us with “stuff” and make us occasionally scream at them for all the dross we have to put up with before we find what we were looking for. But some diligent searching usually gets us there pretty fast.

How about posting information on the Internet? This seems to be another game altogether. A game, where the search engines set the rules. And then change them.

What is a legitimate method of posting information one day may well be regarded as undesirable the next by those who set the rules. As a result your website disappears from page 1 of Google (or Bing or Yahoo) and simply cannot be found. Or at least not on the first few pages beyond which most search engine users don’t venture. Which, for the struggling Internet Marketer, amounts to the same as not being online.

Is there a way out? Can we set up our Internet business on more solid foundations than the caprices of the search engines?

This is immensely important, especially for those who are new to this game, who want to earn some money online and don’t ooze cash. Paying for the privilege to be on page 1 of Google can cost you dearly if you are not savvy around this whole Adwords thing. Of course, you can pay to have your website optimised for the search engines. Until they change the rules. Then you pay again.

Catch-22? More like building on shifting sand. If you play by their rules, that is.

How about saying Good-bye to Google, Bing and Yahoo? What about spreading the word yourself? Make your message go viral and for free!

What? I hear you ask. By-pass all that web wizardry and huge bills and D-I-Y? For free? Yes, You Can! You can even get the information on how to do it for free. You only have to know where to look. Or click here.

That’s right. Download your free, straight forward, easy to read guide and all will be revealed. It’s a simple, ingenious Internet marketing idea that leaves the search engines behind and spreads your message like wildfire.

Making Money Online - Adsense Autopilot

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Do you have valuable real estate that could earn you a passive income but isn’t?

As you are reading this post, chances are that you do. Perhaps not ‘real’ real estate but virtual real estate: a website or two or three…  My website used to be such a sink. Clicks sunk without a trace. A while ago, I watched a video, a minicourse on generating income without any repeat action required.

OK, I won’t beat around the bush - it’s about Adsense. I watched the free video, followed the advice, especially what kind of ads to insert where and how, and behold: where there was none, money appeared :-))) (yes, a very big grin)

You want more? Here is a link to an interview with the man who made the video (not to worry, it isn’t a long video, just a brief article): Click here to read it.  If you want to go NOW to the video I watched, click here.

“Three Key Reasons Why The Right Time To Start An Online Business Is Now”

Monday, June 8th, 2009

For anyone who wants to escape ___________ (fill in whatever fits your situation: “the rat race, your boss, your JOB, the threat of unemployment, having too much month at the end of your money, no way out, not having enough money for your kids’ education / a family holiday / a new car / …”) looking at the Internet for a way out should be a no-brainer.

“The Internet offers, beyond any doubt, the best opportunity to achieve financial freedom, especially during these times of economic crisis.”

Here is reason no. 1:

The Internet Is Everywhere And It Is A Gigantic Marketplace That Is Open 24/7.

Today, everyone with access to the Internet has access to a potential market of about 1.6 billion customers. This customer base is growing rapidly and even better, this customer base is happy to buy online.

How many customers do you need to earn some extra money, or even a lot of money? Not 1.6 billion, that’s for sure. But even closer to home, the market is still gigantic.

Here in the UK, about 70% of the population already have access to the Internet. In the next four years this will grow to 100%! It is government policy to provide EVERY household in the UK with at least a 2MB online connection by 2012.

When and where in history has it ever been possible to gain access to such a huge potential market from your kitchen table? …
