The Slide In Code due for official launch on Tuesday July 27 and having reviewed the product, I can see some great advantages for all Internet Marketers looking to grow their business

The Slide In code enables marketers to insert an unobtrusive opt in box on their blog, sales  or affiliate page without an annoying popup or pop under diverting the browser’s attention away from the main message.

Here is a full list of features associated with the Slide In Code

SLIDE IN TECHNOLOGY

Upon completion of page loading, your SlideIn will emerge discretely within the user’s web browser. The SlideIns are well within the readers field of vision and the “SlideIn” motion grabs and maintains their attention. While at the same time, it poses minimal content blockage, creating a positive experience for the user. The manufacturers claim  SlideIn Technology has boosted  opt-in subscription rates, grow  Twitter lists,  increase  banner ad click-thrus and critically  maximize  Sales and ROI – withoutan increase in traffic.

Creating a SlideIn via Slide In Code’s Form Wizard is as simple . Once you’re finished, simply copy and paste the one line of HTML code into your web page or blog, and start capturing subscribers, followers and impressions… 24 hours a day.

SLIDE IN ON ANY WEB PAGE

SlideInCode allows you to make money without owning a website or blog! They have created and integrated a cool feature that allows you to add your slidein to ANY online web page!

Imagine the potential of being able to place a Lead Generation SlideIn on your Twitter page, your FaceBook page, your MySpace Page, your YouTube Page, your LinkedIn page, an Affiliate Sales Page or any web page for that matter! This technology lets you do exactly that! Seriously, proper application of this tool will enable you to build a huge list of opt-in subscribers, – and opt in subscribers are the basis of any real legitimate on line business

ANALYTICS TRACKING

SlideInCode allows you to track your SlideIn Ads so that you can keep your best performing ones and eliminate your  poorperformers

ELIMINATES SALES PAGE ABANDONMENT

This is really cool.  Traditional opt-in forms redirect potential subscribers to a confirmatory page and away from your website – causing leakage of your opt in rates.  With Slide IN Codes – the thank you message is displayed on site, leaving prospect on page and engaged – potentially increasing confirmed op tin rates.  To my mind this is reason enough to get SlideIn Code.

VERDICT

SlideInCode is a quality piece of software that will help you increase subscriber rates.

If you are serious about Internet Marketing and building a quality opt in list SlideInCode will assist you in that task.

Reasonably priced with a 30 day money back guarantee and a $1 trial offer during the launch period, I highly recommend SlideInCode

Lead generation for your Home Business Opportunity will be the lifeblood of your business.

Anything that can give you targeted free traffic to lead generation sign up pages is worth taking a close look at.

Leads Leap is a free to join program that gives great value and with a little promotion (Preferably directly to your list – but it can be done directly) will ensure that your ads will be seen regularly by a growing list of business opportunity seekers.

This Leads Leap Tour video perhaps best explains exactly what Leads Leap offers

Essentially Leads Leap will display your advertisement across its network and through its targeted blog as well as directly to your downline 10 levels deep.

Now there are many programs like Leads Leap, and I confess that when I joined this program I dismissed it without giving it due consideration.   I don't have a lot of time to earn advertising credits , so I either like traffic to be organic, viral or I'll pay for it.   I dismissed Leads Leap as being a text ad type site without giving it the due regard it deserves.

The fact is that Leads Leap can give organic traffic through it's cool blog widget which I'm deliberately displaying here to demonstrate what it looks like and will be displaying on several of my blogs in the side panel.

Additionally Leads Leap offers many other great ways to generate free traffic including a great tool called the affiliate re-brander.  Just downloading this free tool , setting it up and giving it away will generate leads to your chosen lists or business opportunities as well as Leads Leap

This is one free traffic source that I highly recommend to you.

If a Home Business Opportunity is worth promoting, then the advertising is worth tracking.

I see this as a vital aspect of my on line business and I would like to clear up a few misconceptions.

Firstly there are junk advertising resources and quality advertising resources and I would venture to say that every advertising medium from Pay Per click to Traffic Exchanges can be effective provided that you can fine the quality advertisers in the medium.

There is no question that Google's Pay per Click Advertising model gives you the opportunity to reach a vast array of targeted viewers.  However, most advertisers have no idea how to use the pay per click resource and give up after burning a couple of hundred dollars in advertising costs.   They then turn around and say it doesn't work.

There is no question that Safelist  advertising with responsive Safelists as assessed by an independent safelist tracking resource places your ad in front of many viewers interested in growing their online business.  The same thing applies when people use this form of advertising – they get no results and blame the advertising medium.

It isn't the advertising medium – its the ad.

That's why I use ad tracking – not to track the advertising service but to track the advertising's effectiveness.

I have used more Ad trackers than I care to name and I am now finding that I am relying more and more upon Google analytics to give me great data about what my ads are doing and where my traffic is coming from.

Google analytics provides raw data on traffic sources, length of time on site, page views etcetera.  When used in conjunction with Google adwords it can give you a cost/benefit analysis or return on investment (ROI).  However, it can also trap statistical geeks like me in to spending too much time wading through data.

That's why I find Mark Dulisse's SEO tool plugin a great tool that cuts through the dross and tells me what keywords are working, generates tags for those keywords and tells me my Google ranking for each keyword or phrase.

These two tools now form the basis for my ad tracking.

I also use the following services from time to time to track specific campaigns.

Viral Mail Profits allows me to track headline and ad copy  effectiveness with Safelist advertising

Traffic Wave besides being a great auto responding service has an in built ad tracking system.  I use it to track email click through rates mainly and used to use it extensively in various advertising campaigns

Vital Viral Pro allows me to track responsiveness to various splash and squeeze pages that I use – its the best tracker of its type that I've found and allows mt to split test two ads alongside each other and tehn tweak the lesser performing ad for better results.

Ad tracking is not a waste of time, it can be quite beneficial.  If  I can tweak an ad to get me one more sign up per 100 views it can mean the difference between break even and success.

I revisited what was Graham Hamer's Profit Plan today and was totally non-plussed as to why I haven't being promoting it.

The Profit plan originally took shape in 2002 and was marketed through Clickbank with the slogan Guaranteed Profit or One On One Guru Training Until You Make A profit.

It did massive business and was the forerunner to Internet Marketing staples like the Traffic Jam, Profit Blaster, Profit Arena and the X Factor Ciphers,

Profit Plan resurfaced albeit in a different format and with a different slogan about two years ago.  I bought it and made a profit within twenty four hours.  I was at the time beginning to experiment with my own products and the downside of this was that I tended to push Profit-plan to the back of my marketing efforts and I never really made the most of its potential – my fault not the program's.

The plan is very simple – give away a free report – detailing a simple plan that will not only give give you the purchase price of the plan back in your pocket with your very first sale, but give you Master Resale Rights to 17 quality electronic products.  It's legal, takes absolutely no time to set up and it worked for me.

One of the fall backs that I saw with Profit Plan when it was produced was what I like to call "the Affiliate Silver Bullet fault" in as much as it  captured leads but I then had to manually load those leads into an autoresponder – it was for me, cumbersome, but many people would be grateful for the automated delivery and follow up associated with the report.

Having revisited the report, and with the benefit of two years more marketing experience, I was able to set up a simple squeeze page  that enables me to do my own follow up and migrate leads into my mailing list.

This adaption of the program makes Profit Plan a much more attractive proposition for me while the simple sales/squeeze page that Profit Plan generates would make it attractive to novice Internet Marketers.

As a home business opportunity Profit Plan makes good sense, taking very little time to set up, being based on sound business principles and giving the average Internet Marketer a good chance of making a profit.

Home business opportunities are just that – opportunities.
What you choose to do with them and how you go about promoting them will ultimately determine your success.
Let’s be clear about this.
There are thousands of online programs promising that they have “unlocked the code”, “do ninety nine percent of the  work for you”, promise you “forced spillover” or some other bald faced lie.
I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but there are no shortcuts in this business. 
To succeed you need to establish yourself as a credible authority in your chosen niche.
There is no need to be alarmed by this.
It just takes a little thought and some determination to be different from  the vast crowd of opportunity seekers out there.  If you can offer quality information and advice to people, you will build a loyal following – a following that will ultimately repay you for your guidance.
Of course, there are some non negotiable assets that you require to build your reputation, your business and your brand.
They are a domain name, web-hosting and an auto-responder and your own genuine experience.
From there it is a relatively easy process to write a short report on a chosen service, technique  or product in your chosen niche and offer it as a free gift to potential subscribers.
“Wait a minute Mark, I can’t do this – I have no credibility, I’ve never made a sale,” I hear you say.
But there are things that you can do – if you have  a will to do it.
You could write a report on how to set up an autoresponder series correctly.
You could write a report on a new emerging social media program that you are aware of just describing the features and benefits – or even a report on automated Twitter income from a program like Twivert .
You could describe how you got 100 Twitter followers in a week or even better how to use Twitter properly
You could write a report on things to avoid like the plague (HYIP, Cyclers, Doublers, the list is endless really.)
You could join a program like Chitika (an Adsense alternative) and target it directly at people who have lost their Adsense accounts
You could write a report on how easy it is to set up a WordPress blog and the plugins you use.
You could write a report and review on a product that you use and like.

This is where you start your business and then you pass on good information, helpful hints and occasional recommendations.  If you do this people will be glad to receive you communications because you are stamping yourself as somebody different from the usual hype driven constant buy buy buy crowd that this industry is made up of.
Brand yourself as a voice of reason.
People will follow you.
But you need to build that relationship by recommending quality products and services.  Steer clear of the hype fueled “business opportunities” that are nothing more than pyramid scams. 
There are good products out there – products that educate , products that are essential tools and products that map out a business plan
Of course you can go a step further and create short videos and post them on you-tube – once you start the ball rolling, you can’t stop it.  In fact this post has given me enough fuel to write 6 posts.
“But Mark, I don’t know how to make my report available or how to make it a PDF document”  These things are learn-able, and easy when you know how.  What’s more once you’ve learned them you can teach them – via a report of course.
And to make matters easier the next post on this site will be instructional on how to do exactly that.
There is no excuse not to go down this road -it is the price of online success and will open many doors, the question is are you prepared to pay the price or are you willing to accept  a program owner’s word that their program will do it all for you.

There's a lot of excitement being generated by Soren Jordensan And Cindy Battye's latest offering Affiliate Silver Bullet.

I have been able to get a sneak preview of the product and it is a variation on their massively successful Clickbank Pirate.

Regular readers of my blogs may know that I was singularly unimpressed with Clickbank Pirate simply because I was not able to build grow and nurture my own list with it.

Affiliate Silver Bullet addresses that problem in some respects by allowing advanced users to plug and play their lead capture systems into AWeber's autoresponder.

Essentially, Affiliate Silver Bullet enables you to concentrate on driving traffic to a number of professionally designed squeeze pages that will then follow up on your behalf with recommended products and services.

On the face of it, it could work.

There are some difficulties I can see with utilising it – the first is that you either rely on Affiliate Silver Bullet to do the follow up for you- something that I'm not exactly keen upon or  you use Aweber's services – too bad if you use Get response or Traffic Wave or any other half dozen quality email service providers.

Not withstanding these drawbacks I decided to test Affiliate Silver Bullet for you. 
I am not spending much time on this – in fact I'm spending about as much time as your typical Home Business Opportunity seeker may take between working, and living a normal life.

I have therefore implemented the following test criteria.

I have set up a Clickbank account exclusively for the purpose of testing the product.

I have allocated some Traffic Exchange credits to a squeeze page.

I will advertise a seperate squeeze page once per day for the next week on selected alternating Safelists.

I plan to do nothing else.

At the end of the week I will reveal my results.

My sincere advice to you is not to consider purchasing Affiliate Silver Bullet until you've seen the results of what I would consider the average Internet Marketing hopeful capable of doing.

MLM – multi level marketing is a misunderstood and misused business opportunity that when implemented correctly with real products can result in genuine high levels of marketing.

Typically a MLM Home Business Opportunity will these days be largely online based and care and due diligence need to be exercised before committing to such a scheme.

In theory MLM Home business opportunities should be easier because in theory you have committed multi levels of affiliates all selling a product that not only earns them a commission, but also earns their upline a commission. This is best explained by referring you to a typical MLM matrix used by a reputable on line business – Traffic Wave and their payment plan

Ideally as you recruit members into your organization, you need to train them to use the tools that the organization provides AND train them on how to recruit new members in to the organization.

This is almost impossible for somebody new to online marketing, unless somebody provides training systems, back up and support that allows you to concentrate on recruiting new members (and to be fair and frank somebody new to the business needs to learn the correct recruitment methods as well.

This is not to say that there is not money to be made from MLM home business opportunities – the reverse applies , but it is only reasonable to give you an honest assessment of what to expect. 

MLM business opportunities do not grow overnight.

They require constant attention, great networking skills, patience and hard work.

Having said that, I do think that a program like Traffic wave should be part of an online marketers arsenal.  Traffic Wave provides a must have quality marketing tool at an extremely affordable price (an autoresponder) and as it is nigh on impossible to do any form of online business without using an autoresponder to follow up prospects and leads.

BY making Traffic Wave and integral part of your online business and then by recommending it to others you will build a steady residual income from it.
First and foremost Traffic Wave is an essential online business tool ans should be seen as such. 

Secondly its compensation plan presents the online marketer with a real MLM Home Business Opportunity.

Thirdly programs like Traffic Exchange Profits and my own Break Free Traffic provide a means to build a sales funnel to feed prospects in to your autoresponder system and recommend Traffic Wave's services.

I do not recommend that you promote Traffic Wave wholly and solely, but make it part of your overall online business plan that generates consistent affiliate income while building stable long term residual long term income at the back end.

Most Home Business Opportunities expect you to pay reasonable sums of money to buy in in to the opportunity.  Predictably the odds are stacked against the average Home based business owner from the start.
Most home based business opportunities expect/train  you to promote their business opportunity pages everywhere.  Effectively they use the promoter as a cheap form of advertising, “helping them” with pre written advertisements and cookie cutter website templates that they give everybody else.  They then have the power of mass advertising to brand their product.

Most program members/affiliates or “independent representatives are left to desperately scramble for the odd sale while the “business opportunity” owners kick back and watch the cash roll in.

The lie is told and sold everyday.

“We do 99% of the work for you all you have to do is promote.”

It just doesn’t work.

Not for the little guy.

It’s been irking me for a long time, so I’ve been working on a program that really does give the little guy a real business opportunity.

The program will teach people to develop their own truly independent website that they can change to their own needs as circumstances permit and it will actually cost nothing to be a member of.

Yes there will be some recommended purchases, but these are necessary must have tools that make home Business possible.

I’m excited about what I’ve put together.  Look out for it it can turn the home based business opportunity scene on it’s head

Home Business Opportunities abound in the market place.  I use and recommend quite a few based upon my own home business experiences.
However. it has to be said that just because a Home Business Opportunity suits me and works for me it doesn’t necessarily mean that it works for you.
Here is a big tip about Home Business Opportunities.

You are the business.

You need to find opportunities that match your profile and interests and then you need to present those opportunities realistically and in a unique fashion that suits your personality profile.

There are literally thousands of people falling over themselves trying to promote “home business opportunities” by advertising generic affiliate pages.  This is akin to committing home business suicide.  Effectively you are branding the business opportunity and doing nothing to promote yourself.

So what do you do to promote yourself?

You start at the very beginning – with you.

Your home business opportunity lies within you, your experiences, your knowledge, your passion, your hobby, your dreams.  These are the things that make you an expert in many people’s eyes.  These are the things that represent your real home business opportunity.

How do you go about it?

On line you need essentially three things to turn your passion into a home business opportunity.

They are a high level domain name (by high level, I mean dot com, or dot net nothing else cuts it in the search engines); some website hosting and an autoresponder to follow up prospects.

With these three tools you can set up a profitable search engine friendly blog that can deliver income streams from places like Google Adsense, Chitika Premium Ads and Amazon for starters.  As you progress you can seek out affiliate programs and business opportunities that match your passion.

This is what program owners don’t want you to know, they want you to fall overyourself promoting their business opportunity on their behalf. Effectively they trap over 80% of their affiliates into becoming their promotional slave.

Don’t fall into that trap.

Take your knowledge and turn it into your business opportunity.

How much does all this cost?

Reliable Website hosting can be provided by Hostgator for as little as $4.99 per month.

Of course you’ll need to purchase a domain name and the folks at Hostgator will help you out with that- realistically you’re looking at $10 per year.

When you’ve got your blog set up and you’re getting some visitors you can trial a quality autoresponder for 30 days at Traffic Wave.  This ultimately will allow you to build relationships with interested people seeking more information and may well need to be matched to the affiliate programs that you end up promoting.  After30 days Traffic Wave costs $17.95 per month.

My recommendation is that you don’t rush out and get an autoresponder immediately.  Get your blog set up.  Work out your marketing strategy, make some posts and when you know that you’re getting traffic, work your autoresponder in to the process.
So initially, your home business can be up and running for as little as $15 with an ongoing $4.95 commitment.

How easy is this to do?

Well I decided to show you with this very easy to understand video, how easy it is to install a WordPress blog using cpanel.

Basically cpanel is your domain names back office and to understand how to use it I highly recommend this site Understanding cpanel.

In any case.  Here is the video.

There will be more coming soon.
