Shane Hale founder of IMnews.co. wanted to create a personal blog related to him and his internet marketing passion. Also wanting to help inspire others to overcome the obvious. Sometimes wanting success and having are 2 different things. There are roadblocks which may seem difficult to see but in others eyes obvious to overcome.
Internet Marketing News
I am about to leave the Internet Marketing Niche and I am liquidating some of my assets including the Masterlinker.
During the second phase of the Product Launch Creator, Dax Aurand and Jonny Andrews gave away the Affiliate Link Cloaker.
(I gave this to them as a white label item for a launch bonus. )
Now, I am going to give the first buyer the domain and product. All you will have to do is change your Clickbank ID and register to sell it! Or sell it as a PLR what ever you want!
I will also give away another niche site as well as this software as a pure PLR (Private Label Rights) meaning you can rebrand it and sell it.
Well I tried to do both a Ustream and blog talk radio show at the same time and it went ok. I have always wanted to be in Radio and even on TV. Don't know why but it has always intrigued me.
Today went decent, I had some audio problems with Ustream and my Intro music to my Radio was way to loud and drowned me out. Anyway, I want to create a open show about internet marketing and any topics in particular. I am going to try and do this Monday-Thurs. I have not really decided on a set time yet. So join my email list at http://www.cashflowninja.com or on http://www.imnews.co
I talked about the latest launches I am promoting coming up. One is Product Launch Creator which is really a cool tool that I want to use for affiliate marketing other people's products. I want to use it to stage a launch right beside theirs and add more bonuses such as PLR or Reports and tools that can help other marketers out.
One thing that he is giving away as a prize is my Masterlinker which is at http://www.masterlinker.net a cool linking tool that I have been using on all my blog sites. I am thinking of doing a "pro version" very soon to add even more features for people out there running tons of autoblog sites. Also, if you haven't done so check out Jonny Andrews latest webinar on autoblogging it is really cool tactic. http://imnews.co/JonnysSecretTacticWebinar .
Some of the other rants. I think Lynn Terry nailed it yesterday on a blog post I was reading. It is the professionalism of marketers today. A lot of them think bar talk is a good thing. I know a lot of the crowds out there thing dropping Fbombs is a cool thing and get down to earth with their clients.
But, there still are some clients who rather not hear this sort of "Navy Bar talk" and want to keep it clean. I personally don't care too much, but lately it has become more and more of a trend that marketers wanting to try and mold their clients around them and not really be there for their clients or people on their list. I think bridging the gap between personality,social media and professionalism is key to building a great relationship with your clients. I look at people like Jason Moffatt or Frank Kern. Everyone knows what to expect from them which is Fbombs and fun talk. However, their tactics and messages are usually Golden when it comes to internet marketing.
It seems that most of Frank Kern's list control and Mass Control events have turned into a Internet Marketing Emmy award type event. Parties and bad language is the common thing in Internet Marketing these days. I think everyone in Internet Marketing should be trying their best to help others and build instead of swiping others content and just being crappy marketers out there.
Well, I am going to try and keep a good pace on blogging and doing radio & Ustream shows weekly Monday- Thursday. Until next tomorrow! Seeya Shane
After many days of working on my marketing business, I have learned quite a bit of things when it comes to Internet Marketing.What I found out, when it comes to researching a project or product, it takes simplicity.
What does this mean?
Most marketers like to over think things, they put too much into keyword researching and overkill their strategies to the point of failure.Sometimes, when you are researching something, look at it from outside the box.A great example, would be when you are looking for a local plumber in your area, what would you type in order to find him?That would be the target keyword you need to center your post or buy your domain around.(Simple huh?)Damn right!It is that simple.
The next thing would be is to start a search journal.Have your spouse, family or friends help you fill this journal with keywords they are searching for in Google.No matter the topic you could find some valuable niches to research.
As I have talked about before, you will always want to try and get a root keyword which you can build categories and topics off of other lower ranked keywords. I define my root keywords as anything that averages about 30k a month in traffic and about 80 - 500 searches a day. I usually use a tool like Market Samurai to find this type of data. Market Samurai usually runs around $149 for a lifetime license and tons of options. I have used many other keyword search tools but Market Samurai hands down is the best out there.
Choosing a Root Keyword
Depending on your niche after you find the ideal keyword, you want to be able to use this root as the domain name.
For Example:
Scenario: You are a plumber in Raleigh North Carolina.
You live near Raleigh, on the outskirts of Cary, NC. (Which is like 10 minutes away.)
Then there is a ton of other areas near by that are drivable like Chapel Hill,Durham ect ect. However, the biggest area is Raleigh.
I would focus on what I would type in Google. "Raleigh Plumbers" or Raleigh Nc Plumbers" or Raliegh plumbing contractors" See the commonaility? "Raleigh plumbing" or Raleigh Plumbers" would be the root domain I would register with Godaddy .
Then at that point you would want to set up web hosting and install Wordpress via Cpanel. You would want your Root keyword domain in your description and title. Once the blog is setup you would then want to be able to use your secondary keywords to create categories,tags and posts around them.
(Example:Cary nc plumbing or plumbers).
Affiliate promotions
Want to do affiliate sales? It could be done in the same ways except you would want to focus on keywords that buyers would be looking for like for example the latest launch is Jonny Andrews's Guru Assassin Webinar or you could use the webinar or things like Jonny Andrews Guru Assassin Review or Guru Assassin Bonus and focus on Jonny Andrew's and his product. Most marketers out there will want more for their money such as bonuses or review of the product before they buy it. So I would purchase a root domain like GuruAssassinbonus.com or .net . And start to product traffic to the site.
K.I.S.S
I learned this while in the United States Army it stands for (Keep It Simple Stupid) or K.I.S.S . The golden rule of thumb when it comes to succeeding in internet marketing promotions is key a decent keyword and less competitive keywords with decent traffic and build a domain around it. Which has to have common sense or be relative of what people would search for.
Monetize the domain with affiliate links or buy links after setting up. Using the right plugins! Which are a crucial part of Wordpress.
Then drive traffic to the domain. (Upcoming lessons)
Next posts I am going to show you some cool tricks on getting decent traffic to your domain within days of setting this up.
I have been pretty low key making tools and experimenting with different ways to get traffic and increase affiliate checks online. Now I am ready to reveal to you!
Jonny Andrews does have a pretty cool webinar coming out tonight. I used it for an example. He is going to show you some cool stuff on how to build auto blogs around root keywords just like I am teaching
Check it out below.
Jonny Andrews's Guru Assassin Webinar
P.S.S
I will be working on some traffic tactics and a Wordpress set up tutorial! Just got through with another Wordpress experiment with Amazon. Can't wait to show you!!
Just a quick post to state that Kajabi is out and they are about to release the price to the public. If you are serious about promoting you next product launch online. This product is for you. Check out the prices now!!
So lately the latest buzz has been Kajabi for the sole reason that every Internet Marketing Guru has been using it to launch their new products in 2010. The Gurus out there include Frank Kern, John Reese, Andy Jenkins, and Jeff Walker. Now, Jason Moffatt has combined all of his products for his next launch of The Truth Serum.
Today is the big pre launch day for Kajabi! You will here a ton about Kajabi, but a ton of people will not really know what it is all about. Kajabi is a CMS that works kind of like Wordpress in the fact that it creates a product launch in a neat and clean format that allows you to tie in things such as your own shopping cart and other things like autoresponders like Aweber to help build a opt-in list.
Below are some examples of the output of the squeeze pages that are tied to autoresponders that can help you build a email list.
The coolest thing about Kajabi is integration of many different and yet popular platforms like Aweber or even Amazon AWS for video hosting. It uses the key principles of launching. It will use timed release posts to build a excitement for your customers with some reciprocity sprinkled here or there. Also, for those who love residual income, this helps store all your secure informational products such as videos and downloadable material in a secure environment and let you update the member’s area for those reoccurring members.
I was checking out the Pre-Content for The Truth Serum and the platform that Jason Moffatt is building is awesome for multiple products and content and even a VIP section for members who may pay more for a Platinum account.
Another thing, it helps you lay out your marketing funnel so you can figure out where to put OTO’s or one time offers and help build you sales funnel structure a bit better.
I have been stoked and waiting to use Kajabi since Andy Jenkins helps Frank Kern with his multi-Million dollar launch with List Control. Anyway, I will keep you guys posted on the outcome of Kajabi and even The Truth Serum Launch that Jason is doing with Kajabi.

Awhile back ago; I was trying to figure out a lot of things, such as my own personal obstacles in life and how to overcome them. I started to realize that the obstacles were being created by me. A lot of them were causes of self doubt and the problems seemed to be greater than they really were.
“It was then I had to realize to look at the obstacles outside the box no matter what the problem or situation.”
Ask yourself a few questions.
Why are you feeling the way you do?
What are things that make you feel good?
Who or what is interfering with your happiness?
How can I change this interference or obstacle?
Most of the time you realize that the steps you have to take are very much dreaded but needed to overcome the way you are feeling about certain situations. I found that most of these obstacles were obvious to yourself but you tend to overlook them as too complicated or difficult to address.
This is when you block the obvious and it becomes obscure to you on how to actually overcome your problem in life. Look with in yourself for answers to your problems. Most of the time, the solution will be obvious to yourself and then you will start to overcome whatever it may be.
Above, I did a video going down the road about overcoming the obvious. Usually, in the mornings on the way to work are perfect times for reflection. It is the beginning of a new day and everything seems to be starting over.
The New Blog and Meaning
It was in the morning, I decided to start this new blog that combines my personal thoughts and passions “I’M” or “I am News” as well as my huge interests in the Internet Marketing industry also abbreviated as “IM”. One thing I will be doing is interviewing other marketers who have the entrepreneurial spirit and have over come a lot of obstacles in their life as well as their products.
Just like any marketer, you always want to see what the latest traffic building tip or profitable online business model that actually works. I will be trying these out and reporting which ones are actually legit.
