			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you’re looking to get into the world of internet marketing and learn affiliate marketing. You’re probably looking for a different kind of lifestyle, better (and fewer) hours than you currently work, and of course, some money!</p>
<p>So is this kind of thing possible by buying a simple affiliate program for $100 (in some cases less than that&#8230; in some cases more), learn affiliate marketing, and putting it to action? Yes, most definitely it is. There are a lot of people out there making a lot of money on the internet doing fairly little work from the comfort of their own homes. While these people may be the rarity out there, they’re also the ones who put some hard work in to get to where they are.</p>
<p>Essentially any affiliate program you buy is going to tell you the same thing on their sales page&#8230; that you can make a lot of money, that you can make it fast, and that you can make it with little effort. While some of these are flat out scams and crappy programs, some of them are great programs and make this fully possible.</p>
<p>BUT&#8230; is it possible for you to do this as a complete newbie in internet marketing? Unfortunately, no&#8230; 99 times out of 100. Am I saying you’ll never make it? No&#8230; what I’m saying is that you’re more than likely going to struggle when you first get into this kind of thing&#8230; you simply won’t have the knowledge about every area of internet marketing to have instant success.</p>
<p>I’ll help you out though&#8230; there’s a great internet marketing forum out there called the Warrior Forum, where you can learn A LOT about affiliate marketing, and internet marketing in general (including product reviews). I would highly recommend going over there, doing some reading, and doing some learning. Get your first affiliate program, and get working hard on it. If you have any questions, the Warrior Forum is a great place to go for help.</p>
<p>So hopefully I haven’t discouraged you too much. I’ve personally been through it all and I know what it’s like, and I’ve seen many other struggles. I however also have seen success, and I know it’s possible to learn affiliate marketing, and make a good living from it for those who really put the effort into it!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Google Sniper &#8211; A Review:</strong></p>
<p>So it’s been quite a while since my last blog post. I’ve by no means given up my internet marketing career, I’ve simply decided to expand my options and generate several sources of income, instead of limiting myself with what I started doing initially (CarbonCopyPRO&#8230; which I’m continuing to do).</p>
<p>I’ve had a very interesting, and sometimes frustrating, time over the past several months trying out different internet marketing products, and foraying into different niches. One thing I have realized is that there is just SO MUCH opportunity out there for anyone with half a brain to make a full time living on the internet working from home. The internet is simply massive business&#8230; essentially almost any product or service in the world can be and is purchased online&#8230; and if it’s purchased online that you can market it online and make money.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m going way off point here. This blog post is to give my Google Sniper review. Google Sniper was written by a 19 year old guy (at the time of its writing) called George Brown. George claims to be a very lazy guy, wanting to make money from home through the least possible amount of effort&#8230; and I know where he’s coming from, hehe. I think George should give himself more credit though, because he’s put together a great internet marketing manual which I’m sure has taken a lot of work.</p>
<p>George likes to tell it like it is&#8230; he’s honest and there’s no fluff or bs or super hyping up in his manual. It’s very straight forward and to the point, and it tells you how to accomplish each task through as easily as possible, with the least amount of work.</p>
<p>So&#8230; first part of the Google Sniper review&#8230; what is Google Sniper? Google Sniper is a manual which teaches you how to generate income through affiliate marketing. What’s amazing about Google Sniper though is that is teaches you how to generate traffic to your affiliate sites WITHOUT paying for traffic&#8230; yup&#8230; 100% free traffic&#8230; no Pay Per Click or any other paid advertising methods.</p>
<p>To some of you thinking this is over your heads or that it’s impossible&#8230; no it’s not. It’s a fairly simple process, and the Google Sniper manual lays out the steps for you to be able to do so in a very straight-forward manner&#8230; no bs or extra fluff added.</p>
<p>Now ok yes there is some cost associated with having your own website, but it’s minimal ($10 for the domain and a couple dollars hosting per month)&#8230; everything after that is completely free&#8230; there is simply no worry in wasting any of your money on failing methods because you’re not spending any.</p>
<p>George aims to generate about $600 per site he creates per month. This is a fairly modest number, but because you want to be ranked on the first page of Google, the keyword competition (and thus generally the keyword traffic) won’t be huge. What’s so great about the Google Sniper process though is that this method of marketing is easily duplicated. If you can create one site generating $600 a month, you can easily create 10&#8230; or 20&#8230; or however many you want.</p>
<p>And this is not a long process, nor is it an ongoing one. Once you’ve mastered the techniques, you’re talking about maybe 2 hours total to create a website which should get ranked.</p>
<p>Oh, and for anyone worried about creating their own site, don’t worry. George suggests (and he’s right in my opinion) to use WordPress on all of your sites. For anyone unfamiliar with WordPress, it essentially makes a site for you&#8230; all you’re left to do is type some text on the page.</p>
<p>Ok, now before it sounds like I’m hyping this up too much, I’ll state some drawbacks.</p>
<p>I was a fairly experienced internet marketer when I started with Google Sniper, so I knew exactly what he was talking about throughout the entire manual. There was essentially no learning I had to do and no intimidating factors. For someone completely new to the internet marketing game, obviously things would be slightly tougher. Additionally, you could create a site that doesn’t convert well, or for whatever reason you may not be able to get your site ranked (if you follow the guidelines exactly this shouldn’t be the case though). With practice makes perfect though, and you’ll always improve your work over time.</p>
<p>So, am I saying an internet marketing newbie couldn’t do it? No I’m not saying that at all. The Google Sniper process is more than possible for anyone with basic internet knowledge, you just might have a slightly tougher time getting things going than someone with a little experience.</p>
<p>So how did I do with Google Sniper? The very first site I created was ranked on Google in the number one spot within several weeks of creation&#8230; I was pretty impressed with myself, hehe. This was done following the guidelines exactly as stated in the Google Sniper manual. I probably got a little ahead of myself after that, and chose some keywords with tougher competition than was recommended, and have had some trouble with those sites. George does however tell you several methods to improve your site ranking which I’ve been working on, and I have a few more sites climbing up to the first page.</p>
<p>So that’d does it for my Google Sniper review. Overall, I would highly recommend Google Sniper to the newbie internet marketer, or the experience internet marketer. Success is greatly possibly with a little bit of persistence&#8230; how much money you want to make with Google Sniper is up to you.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Google Cash a Scam?</p>
<p>This question cannot really be answered with a simple yes or a no&#8230; it&#8217;s a much more complex issue than that. The following article will discuss my personal experience with Google Cash.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve recently become very interested in the potential of making money from home on the internet. A few months ago I had no idea this kind of thing was possible, but one day came across an ad for Google Cash and decided the risk (less than $100) was worth the reward (being able to quit my job and work from home). I read through Google Cash and it sounded great and fairly simple. I truely believed that what Google Cash promised was possible to achieve with the information it provided me with.</p>
<p>If anyone reading this is unfamiliar with the Google Cash system, I will explain. Google Cash teaches you how to exploit the world of affiliate marketing. Just about any company that sells products on the internet has an affiliate program. For example&#8217;s sake, let&#8217;s use Walmart as one of these companies. Anyone can apply to be an affiliate with Walmart. If you are accepted into Walmart&#8217;s affiliate program, Walmart will pay you a percentage of products you sell for them. How do you sell these products? That&#8217;s what Google Cash teaches you.</p>
<p>You know those ads on the right hand side of the page when you search for something? Those are affiliate links, i.e. ads created by people who have signed up with whatever company to sell their products. If you don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about, type &#8220;dvd&#8221; into Google and look at the results on the right side of the page.</p>
<p>Now, if you click on one of those links, whoever put that ad up there is paying Google for that click. So if you signed up as an affiliate with Walmart and decided you wanted to sell dvd&#8217;s for them, you would create an ad with Google which would receive a placement on the right hand side of the page. If someone clicks your ad and then buys something from Walmart, you get a commision on that purchase.</p>
<p>So, I read Google Cash and got the basic idea. It sounded easy enough. I rationalized it to myself like this: if I made 10 different ads which made me only $10 a day each, that&#8217;s $100 a day. 7 days a week, that&#8217;s $700 a week. Not too bad at all. Well I soon found out that this was much harder than it sounded. I made some ads and yes, I got a lot of clicks, but no one was buying anything when they clicked on my ads.</p>
<p>This is where things get more complex than they seem. When you place an ad with Google, you choose which keywords you want your ad to appear for. Let&#8217;s use dvd&#8217;s at Walmart as an example again. Say you want to sell a Batman dvd. You can have it so your ad comes up when someone searches for &#8220;dvd&#8221;, &#8220;batman dvd&#8221;, &#8220;i want to buy dvd&#8217;s&#8221;, etc&#8230; there are endless possibilities. You will pay a different price for each keyword (note you only pay for a keyword when someone searches for your keyword and then ALSO clicks on your ad). Dvd is a very popular keyword as you can imagine, and hence will cost you more than say &#8220;i want to buy dvd&#8217;s&#8221;.</p>
<p>Google Cash does give you some guidance on how to determine less expensive keywords, but then there are other problems. Which keywords are generating money for you and which are wasting money? Which are actually the best products to market (endless possibilities)? When a person is clicking your ad, are they just doing research, or do they actually want to buy something. Additionally, most affiliate programs offer tiny commissions, in my experience, generally between 4% and 10%. It is not easy to get a positive ROI (Return on Investment) with commissions so low.</p>
<p>This type of marketing can be lucrative, which is why I am hesitant to say that Google Cash is a scam. However there is too much information missing from Google Cash to make a positive ROI without learning a lot on your own. On top of that, once you&#8217;ve bought Google Cash, you have no one to help you out. You can&#8217;t pick up the phone and call Google Cash and ask them for help, which is very frustrating. Essentially you&#8217;re left up to trial and error, which can be a huge waste of time and money.</p>
