Opportunities for Home Business

It seems everywhere that you go right now, people are recommending the Ashmax program.
Yesterday I did a bit of digging and tried to tease out the truth about Ashmax. The trouble with reading reviews on Ashmax or any other product for that matter is that most people reviewing the product are reviewing the product from a biased point of view in as much as they want you to buy it.
The trouble of reviewing a product like Ashmax from a reviewer’s point of view is that there is no way I can review it from the outside. And to be fair I have no intention of buying in.
But the hype is phenomenal- so I decided to find out what all the fuss is about.
Here is what I’ve been able to find out.
Ashmax has been developed by a reputedly high profile MLM marketer Ash Mufareh.
The system is relatively straight forward and in many ways is a classic hype fueled sales funnel.
Essentially you are invited to sign up for Ashmax for free and then issued with an Ashmax 20 day challenge to get 5 Paid members into Ashmax.
To take the 20 day challenge you need to be a member of two MLM programs – GDI (Global Domains International) and FWTS (Freeway To Success). I have never recommended GDI to anybody and I’m not about to start now. Simply put, I believe that it is the most over rated MLM product on the market. I have no opinion at all about FWTS but have been informed that it is a reputable MLM based company.
If you can attract 5 people into your downline in 20 days Mr Mufareh guarantees that he can fill your matrix at both companies within 100 days earning you $22300 per month.
Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
Let’s break it down a bit shall we?
5 paid sign ups in 20 days is not going to happen unless you either have an established list of followers who are prepared to follow you over the cliff or you are prepared to work your butt off for the next 20 days.
5 paid sign ups sounds easy but in reality it is extremely hard to do if you are starting from scratch and most people attracted to this program will be starting from scratch.
Yes Ashmax will give you training and resources, but that’s no guarantee of anything other than you’re using the same tools as everybody else promoting Ashmax.
The other problem I see with Ashmax is that if I recommended it to my mailing list without an offer of personal training and assistance which would almost amount to a personal guarantee to place 5 people beneath them, I could not honestly recommend the program.
Of course, the temptation to be involved is great and there always is a chance of success, and if you are tempted you can’t afford to be half hearted you have to give it everything you have for the next 20 days. I wish you luck.
Some people will succeed with Ashmax and they will succeed massively. Most will fail.
What do you think?

SFI is a rare breed in Home Business Opportunities having been around for over ten years and I have to confess that SFI was one of the very first Internet Marketing programs that I ever joined.

At the time I was program hopping relentlessly, searching for a magic pill and SFI seemed just a wee bit unexciting to me.

A couple of weeks back, a subscriber to this blog recommended SFI to me and after some consideration, I decided to revisit it with fresh eyes.

Let’s get a couple of things straight.

First and foremost I lean towards being an affiliate marketer rather than a network marketer.  I’m simply not attracted to MLM type money tree programs or pyramids. They just don’t ring my bell.  Somehow I’d mistakenly managed to categorise SFI  as a MLM program.

While it has some MLM elements, it is based on an affiliate marketing model giving members direct access to its Triple clicks network which sells 24780 products .  These products range from general household products through to antiques and collectibles, magazines and digital downloads.

SFI is constructed so that SFI affiliates can refer others to Triple Clicks and make commissions off direct affiliate sales.  That’s pretty cool.  A total newbie could email a couple of friends and say hey check out my Internet store and compare prices.  The chances are that they would make a few dollars.

Additionally SFI encourages affiliates to sponsor other affiliates into the system, thereby increasing potential commissions.

The more you sponsor – the greater your commissions

SFI then actively encourage you to encourage your sponsor’s to duplicate your efforts.

SFI is an attractive option to new and established Internet Marketers having a sound track record, a great support system, quality products and some really cool training resources.

Free to join, SFI takes new members by the hands and rewards them for participation and effort.

It is worth experiencing and I encourage you to trial it.

SFI BONUS OFFER

If you elect to trial SFI,  I will personally ensure that you are given every chance of success, by implementing the following bonus package.

• Conduct a personal one on one training program with you via Skype aimed at mapping out the growth of your business within SFI.
• Provide you with the following resources totally free of charge

To Join SFI and claim your bonus offer please take the following action

1. Clear your cookies
2. Join SFI for Free
3. Skype me at mark.hodgetts2 introduce yourself and say that you want me to help you with your SFI business and I’ll be right on it.

Recommending advertising resources is always fraught with danger -what works for one person may not always work for another.

One area that always has tremendous potential is Pay per click advertising.  Appropriate keyword research can deliver highly targeted prospects to your site for an advertising rate determined by the publisher.

The most well known example of Pay Per click Advertising is Google Adwords, but the cost can be prohibitive.  I know from personal experience that improperly targeted keyword campaigns can cost hundreds of dollars in a day with very little return for your advertising dollar.

Ad to this the series of hoops that Google wants the prospective advertiser to jump through and you’ll find most people very reluctant to recommend Google as an appropriate source of advertising unless you have a serious advertising budget and are prepared to micro manage Pay per Click campaigns, Google Pay Per Click advertising is best left to the very serious advertisers.

But there are other Pay Per Click advertisers that can deliver targeted visitors to your site for a fraction of the cost that Google charges and they can deliver results.

A case in point is the new Pay per Click advertising medium KART Advertising.

KART is an extension of the Kooiii Social Media Search Engine and it has several great innovations that make it a very attractive proposition to the advertiser.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Right now I’ve been purchasing keyword advertising at the rate of 3c per click on keywords like Make Money on line and I’m happy to report that currently I’m generating leads from my KART advertising for  an average cost of 15c per lead – compare that to Adwords where the same search term could cost well over $1 per click.

MORE FLEXIBLE PUBLISHING LAWS

Kooiii presents an attractive alternative for small website owners looking to monetize their sites.  Kooiiis has no restrictions on where publishers advertise their site.  This allows ads to be seen across a variety of channels including Traffic Exchanges, Safelists and even Paid to read sites.  As the advertiser is only paying for ads clicked the extra exposure (particularly in make money niches ) is advantageous.

Rotating Ad System

KART’s scrolling rotating ads system means that rather than bidding for one spot, the advertiser is bidding for one of up to 20- if you look to the KART ads banner in the right sidebar of this site you will notice that the ads constantly scroll so that a new ad is featured in the top spot.  This means that the bidding price is likely to remain lower for longer.

KART’s AFFILIATE PROGRAM

This is really cool.  KART’s affiliate program is free to join and  you can earn in 3 ways from it

1. As a publisher of KART Ads you can display KART advertising on your website or blog and earn 60% of the click bid price
2. Additionally, you will earn 5% of any referrals  monthly publisher earnings
3. You earn 10% of referred advertiser spend at KART

In short KART are returning as much as  75% of all advertising revenue back to affiliates.  This does represent a legitimate business opportunity for home based business owners looking to earn extra revenue

While the affiliate program alone is well worth participating in, I highly recommend KART ads as an advertising resource.

It’s cheap and effective

In my previous post I outlined the potential of the new Social Media Search Engine Kooiii and I was particularly impressed with the KART advertising vehicle contained within Kooiiii

The potential to earn passive income by displaying ads through the Kart system is enormous, furthermore the potential to earn income by encouraging others to use KART ads is phenomenal.

By simply promoting KART you will earn 10% of what your referrals earn as publishers and 5% of what your referrals spend as advertisers.

Now imagine what could happen if you had a promotional vehicle that pumped people into your Kooiii downline.

This vehicle ideally would be free to join, have an upgrade option and a variety of traffic and income producing programs to become involved in.  But most importantly it would feed publishers and advertisers to Kooiii ads

The guys at Kooiii have thought of that.

They’ve produced Traffic Firestorm – an income builder aimed at generating referrals and income principally through KART ads but with some cool advertising and income earning sites added to the mix.

This has enormous potential.  The whole system integrates Social Media, Search traffic and the power of Traffic Exchanges to produce an amazing traffic generating synergy

But that’s not all…

Traffic Firestorm is built on a Traffic Exchange.

Here is what you can expect as a member of Traffic firestorm

Free member: As a free member you will get total use of facilities to build the multiple income streams and also promote your primary business. , and you will earn 15% commissions on all of the upgraded memberships that you sell.

Upgraded member – $29.95 a month: Upgraded members will take part in all free member tools and have the added benefits of greater earnings on upgrades, additional advertising for their primary business as a bonus each month, as well as random referrals from the advertising Co-Op.

The Co-Op is where things get really exciting!

The Kooiii/Traffic Firestorm group now has a growing social network and two world class search engines and they control 100% of the advertising on each one. In addition, the Kooiii publisher network is growing daily and will continue to grow even more with each new Traffic Fire Storm member and K.A.R.T. Publisher.  This will put Traffic Fire Storm Team ads on thousands of websites around the world.
And those  ads  will be feeding an advertisement for the Traffic Firestorm front page or one of the Team Splash Pages
and will put recruits in under a random paid member.

This is all very important because of the Income Streams that makes Traffic Firestorm such an attractive option.

The first 3 streams all come from K.A.R.T. Advertising.

Stream one is naturally earned by displaying K.A.R.T ads to your website and blog visitors. It pays per click earnings.

Stream two is from bringing in new advertisers and will earn you residual income each time the advertiser adds
more money to their account.

Stream 3 is from bringing in more K.A.R.T. Publishers. (All Traffic Fire Storm members will have to become a Publisher.) You will earn a residual commission each time a K.A.R.T. Publisher you brought in earns a paycheck as well.

Stream 4 comes with the upgrades at Traffic Firestorm.

Stream 5 comes as a Kooiii Store Affiliate which allows you to offer products, services, and a discount club
membership for sale as well. Affiliates will earn commissions from each sale or residual income from each membership.

Streams 6 and above all come from unique opportunities that will be placed in the Firehouse Builder giving you even more  income potential at TFS.

To top it off, you will still be sitting on a massive traffic builder that will further push more team members into Traffic Firestorm daily.

Is this a team like you see advertised daily?

No – only paid members get the benefits of rotation and no promises are made about members.  Furthermore, this is not a MLM matrix scheme and you will be rewarded for your own efforts.  The only people advertising the rotating link are the principal owners of Traffic Firestorm.

They’re motives are simple.

They want Kooiii to corner its own share of the legitimate Pay Per Click advertising market.

By attracting publishers and advertisers into Kooiii via the team builder concept they believe that they can “spread the joy”  Its ambitious and potentially extraordinarily lucrative.

I strongly recommend that you become a Traffic Firestorm member and suggest that you should seriously consider the advertising co-op option.

Traffic Firestorm Bonus

I am personally committed to this model, and am genuinely excited by the possibilities that Kooiii, K.A.R.T ads and Traffic Firestorm present.  This whole system is about advertising and getting the message out and growing the K.A.R.T publishing base.

I therefore propose to make the following bonus advertising credits available.

Free members  who join under my affiliate link here

100 advertising credits from Farm Traffic (you will need to join Farm Traffic under me) & 100 advertising credits from StartXchange

Members who elect to join as Co-op members using my affiliate link here

500 advertising credits from Farm Traffic(you will need to join Farm Traffic under me) & 500 advertising credits from StartXchange

To claim your Traffic Firestorm bonus all you need to do is join Traffic Firestorm using my affiliate link then send an email to me at tx at profitsentinel dot net headed Traffic Firestorm Bonus claim – just tell me your Traffic Firestorm affiliate id and your StartXchange user name and Farm Traffic Id and I will make sure that you get your advertising credits.  In the event that you’re already a member at Farm Traffic and not in my downline, I will simply give you double credits at StartXchange

Innovation is the lifeblood of the Internet.

Only two years ago, Facebook was hardly used, now it is the social media platform on everybody’s lips.

Twitter literally came from nowhere.

You tube was created by a couple of computer geeks in their garage.

People see a need, and create a platform for others to use.

Being ahead of the trend – at the place where people could be in one years time, rather than following  trends is an opportunity that anybody can take if they know about an innovative program early enough.

I have written previously about Google and Facebook trying to imitate each other and noted that both entities will have some difficulty in presenting themselves as experts in fields that they didn’t brand themselves as experts in before they started.

But what if  a new social media platform came along that had  a fully integrated search engine function that incorporated revenue generating streams based upon the Adsense model?

And what if that same platform went out of its way to teach you how to use Social Media the right way in a marketing sense.  Then add in all the free training that you could possibly ever want and you’re getting close to this amazing program called Kooiii.

Kooiii could be the next social media hit – it has everything that people like,is brilliant put together and has tremendous earning potential.

Is there anyting I don’t like?

Kooiii has lots of arms – advertising publishers, advertisers, the Kooiii store, Kooiii University and they all require separate sign ups forms to be completed.    It’s a quibble but it would be nice if a system could be developed giving me access to all the arms of Kooiii with one user name and password – I understand that publishers need to be approved – but it could be done

Other than that I can’t fault it – its star is on the rise and its one place you should be utilizing to grow your business.

Kooiii is exciting it has so many integrated aspects that make it very attractive to users.

I highly recommend it.

Join Kooiii

Auto Blog System X is a new offering from Blogging to the Bank legend Rob Benwell.

Benwell claims that by using the methods recommended  in Auto Blog System X that you can generate over $4000 in your first week of using this system.

I imagine that might be possible in a perfect world with the armory and expertise of Benwell’s staff behind you, but realistically you need to expect lower profits then that amazing figure.

My first impression of Auto Blog System X is that it is a variation on the theme of Alex Goad and Brian Johnson’s Autocontent Cash – a good system that I have used and made money from.

Goad and Johnson advocate several methods for generating original relevant content in micro niche sites on autopilot, whereas Benwell appears to primarily recommend using syndicated content via RSS feeds.

Income in both instances can be generated via a number of sources including Google Adsense, Amazon and  Clickbank etcetera

Is it easy to follow?  Yes

Is it legal?

Yes (although Google doesn’t exactly love the idea)

Will it deliver the results promised?

Probably not BUT, as I have found with Autocontent Cash, consistent application of the principles contained within the course will yield results – results that will be worth the purchase price.

So the key issue is it worth buying?

The answer is yes with the following caveats.

1. You need to be prepared to do relevant and diligent keyword research.
2. You need to be able to follow instructions to the letter
3. You need to recognize that there will be an initial period of hard work getting sites set up properly
4. Understand that there is no magic pill – you are being given information and a method that can make you money BUT you have to work it well and hard to reap the rewards.

AUTO BLOG SYSTEM X BONUS #1

This system is automated and you will need web-hosting to make it worth your while.  I therefore will provide you with free web-hosting for 12 months on an unlimited number of  domains – I can do this because of my platinum reseller status with GVO

The value for comparable services would be $95

AUTO BLOG SYSTEM X BONUS #2

A great way to really cash in on the auto blogging technique is to tap into the world of CPA marketing- I am giving away this great  product to help you

VALUE $17

AUTO BLOG SYSTEM X BONUS #3

This great piece of software helps you to Photoshop your own eBook covers and is still retailing for $17

AUTO BLOG SYSTEM X BONUS #4

Complementary membership to my affiliate marketing institute – monthly membership cost $19.95

Internet Marketing home businesses run on referrals and leads.  It’s a constant battle to build your mailing list and loyalty.

Jerry Reeder is a master at generating referrals and turning them into customers and advocates.  His latest product – the re-brandable eBook Get referral Fast is a great insight into his methods and his attitude to online marketing.

First off let’s be clear here Jerry pulls no punches, unlike many other well known marketers Jerry readily admits that there is a real paradox in supplying affiliate tools – people get better results designing their own, but the brutal fact is that most people can’t be bothered.  He also admits that some sites have had such exposure that we’ve all grown blind to their existence.

These two admissions alone told in Jerry’s forthright style put me firmly in his corner and Get referrals Fast is a great little program with some unique twists.

The program uses the launch formula marketing platform and gives free membership with some one time offers and pro upgrade options.

No surprises there.

But free membership actually allows you to re-brand the most attractive residual affiliate marketing product   around – Traffic Wave and plug it into the get referrals fast system.  That’s cool.

What’s more Get Referrals Fast offers you much more than the usual PDF re-branded book including regular training seminars .

I highly recommend membership and sincerely recommend reading the book and the bonus products.  You will learn something AND I suggest that you take the action that Jerry recommends.

Good program- it’s a must join.

Instant blog subscribers – the name alone makes you want to take a second look -anything that can get eyeballs on my site has to be a good thing right?
To be totally honest, I wasn’t so sure about Instant Blog subscribers, but I gave it a test run and was pleasantly surprised.
Your blog in Instant Blog subscribers will not instantly get you keyword ranking, nor will you be allowed to submit your current blog to the system but what it does allow is this.

• You can set up a professional looking blog in about 5 minutes with a few clicks of a button
• As a free member when you make a blog  posting – at least two hundred members will be directed to your blog post (weekly)
• As a pro member when you make a blog post 3000 members will be directed to your blog post.

When members are advised of your blog posting they are encouraged to view your blog in the form of advertising credits -much like a safelist.

Now this is both a strength and a weakness.

It’s a strength because people will visit your blog -it’s a weakness because people will be visiting your blog for maybe the wrong reason.

That’s why its absolutely essential that your blog post is strong, hype free and valuable.  the more compelling your blog post, the more likely that your visitor is going to subscribe to your blog and take action.

This is the key to Instant Blog subscribers.

Quality Content and then point that content at your products or main website blogs.  If you can do this then Instant Blog Subscribers is a very handy addition to your marketing armory.

Here is how easy it is to make a post to a blog using the Instant Blog Subscriber software

On balance I’m impressed with Instant Blog Subscribers -and have no qualms about saying that everybody should join as a free member.

I would also strongly recommend the Elite upgrade offer available.

In the event that you choose to become an Elite member, I will give you the following bonuses

INSTANT BLOG SUBSCRIBERS BONUS #1

Six Months Free Membership to Affiliate Marketing Institute

VALUE $82

INSTANT BLOG SUBSCRIBERS BONUS #2

A Home Business plan doesn’t have to be elaborate.  In fact there is a strong argument to suggest that the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle is the best principle to have when running an online business.

Jon Olson’s Pizza Plan has been around for a while and to be fair, I haven’t paid it the attention that it deserves.

It is simple and very smart.

Jon, for those who don’t know him is now the successful owner of I Love Hits, Swat Traffic and the highly acclaimed Sweeva.  He is in many ways the face of the legitimate Traffic Exchange Industry.  If you tune in to his live webcast TE Live, you will find him to be passionate, gregarious, funny and tremendously loyal to those who choose to do business with him  in a professional manner.

Jon is a living example of what can be achieved with hard work, dedication, drive, discipline and determination.

By his own admission, Jon was like many others who start off in this industry, switching constantly from program to program, hoping against hope that something would pay off.  With predictable results.

Then he had an ah ha moment and set about building a business.

And it is a very successful one founded upon the simple principles of the Pizza plan.

There is nothing earth shattering here, no hidden secrets, no tricks, just a simple plan founded on common sense.  If you’re struggling on line, you need to get hold of this report now and start taking action.

It will work – if you want it to work.

It seems that Social Media is the only medium that Internet Marketers want to talk about at the moment and there are some really cool Social Media sites hitting cyberspace almost daily.

IM Faceplate has caused quite a stir and Sweeva is an incredibly innovative and revolutionary spin on a traditional (am I allowed to say that when it comes to Internet Marketing) advertising medium.

Everybody’s talking about them and so they should – they’re quality networking programs, but their are some great Internet Marketing Social Media sites that you may not be aware of.

Here are a couple with my thoughts on each one and they’re relative value.

List Volta is first cab off the rank and I confess to having totally underestimated this resource.  AT first glance List Volta is a Safelist produced by the owners of the Iconic Herculist – perhaps the oldest online safelist.  Safelist members are allowed to randomly mail between 500 and the entire database of members on a daily basis dependent upon membership level.  Members at List Volta earn NOKS (advertising points) for viewing ads.  These points can then be applied to various on site advertising options within the site.

For a long time I didn’t see the point, but on closer inspection the advertising options within the site are really quite innovative.

These include

1. Volta Super stream – a facility enabling you to post a blurb about your latest offer or product.  these blurbs pop up on site throughout the day and are viewable from within the site itself.  Bottom line is that they generate traffic.
2. Volitivity Stream- a simple ad that appears within the List Volt and Herculist sites- you can subnit new ads regularly
3. CHAT facility
4. BLOG- for upgraded members only – another way to generate backlinks to your site
5. TEXT AND BANNER ADVERTISING – rotated regularly throughout the site

This an interesting site with an active membership base, a sound administration and appears to be evolving as it progresses.  I recommend that you join at the very least as a free member.

Next cab off the rank is Sokule.  This is a brilliant concept that perhaps is not being used by the Internet Marketing community to anywhere near its full potential.  As the banner says – Sokule is Twitter monetized (i.e it has an affiliate program)

AT a basic level Sokule allows members to “Tweet” their messages to other Sokule members.  These messages are then picked up by Sokule and automatically tweeted on twitter for you as well.  There are many more options for Pro members including integration of your Sokule posts – I think they’re called ” Soks” across a variety of Social networking channels.

The thing that doesn’t grab me about Sokule is that I seem to be besieged by hundreds of “Twitidiots” who have nothing to offer other than they’re affiliate link .  This isn’t a reflection on the site, but the membership – or maybe Ive just been unlucky.

Apsense was in many senses way ahead of its time, utilizing the power of Web 2.0 to build an Internet Marketing Networking community long before sites such as Facebook were even thought of.

This site is packed with networking and advertising potential and is worth investigating.

The keys with all of these sites is not to sell but to concentrate on building relationships.  Good businesses are built on strong relationships.  Spend your time spamming everybody with your affiliate link and you’re social media marketing will fail.  On the other hand,if you take a genuine interest in people, and look to genuinely help them, you will see good results over time.
