If you’ve been online for any length of time then you’ll be familiar with the “One Time Offer” aka OTO system whereby you immediately give new subscribers a special offer.

Now while this sounds simple it can be very daunting, and I know that a lot of you reading this may not be able to put together a OTO for your new subscribers.

Well I’ve been testing out this offer and I’m very pleased to say it’s converting at a very healthy 6%, so that’s just shy of $1 per new subscriber, and that’s before all the cash that will be made by follow-ups and broadcasts.

Now the exciting part of this offer is that it’s created using traffic fusion, so that you can also make the same offer to your new subscribers, and I have it set up to pay you 90%, so that’s ~ $15 per sale.

To take advantage of this great offer I need you to do 3 things.

#1 You must be building an internet marketing related list & using a double opt-in service such as aweber.

#2 Post a comment (with your paypal email or I won’t be able to pay you) so that I know you’re interested and I can set you a JV account.

#3 I will email you a hyperjava link to put into your double opt-in success page, just be sure that the first email has the link to your download page or you’ll look a bit of an idiot.

Look forward to working with you, and sending you lots of commissions

So for the past few days GaryMcaffery has been the most retweeted person, and it’s all down to a site called TweeterGeeter.com Now when I first saw this I thought it was just annoying twitterspam, but the results Gary’s achieving are impressive, and worthy of discussion here.

At the time of writing Retweetist shows over 1500 people have tweeted his message in the past 24 hours, so it shows that the site is achieving it’s aim of using twitter to generate traffic, making it a genius piece of marketing.

Now the marketing side of things is where the evil starts to creep into the equation…

The whole basis of twitter as a community is that information is freely shared between like minded people. I don’t know about you, but if someone follows me I go and check out their profile. If they have maxed out the 2,000 following limit then I know not to follow them back as they’ve read somewhere in a cheap ebook that following loads of people on twitter is a good way to generate traffic.

It’s this aspect of the tweetergetter that’s annoyed people within the twitter community who’ve worked hard to produce content and share ideas. If twitter were to become flooded with spammers then it would quickly lose it’s mainstream coverage it’s now achieving.

So before you go off and start posting your twitter links all over the internet make sure that you actually have some content and conversations on the page and not a splurge of affiliate link.

As I used MrTweet to follow only the movers and shakers in the Internet Marketing Field I’ve been able to see who’s retweeted along with many discussions on blogs. As you can probably tell by reading the opinions of people like Gary Ambrose & Mark Joyner I’ve changed my mind about the site, and based on this I’m able to recommend that you tweetergetter a quick retweet.

But remember that to get the best results you should make contact with your new followers, and don’t go wild pester people with your link.

Look forward to reading your comments, and here’s a great little twitter tip I picked up from BobTheTeacher

Post Your Opinion On Twitter

Link will open in a new window, and please edit your post to just Genius, Evil, or Evil Genius

Do you ever have moments when you feel like
you’ve been sleepwalking? You’re an expert in
something and then, whoa, you learn a new
concept that hits you like a karate chop.

You snap to attention and say to yourself, “Why
didn’t I ever think of that?” or “Geez, why
didn’t someone tell me about this a few years
ago?!”

This is exactly how I felt when I found out
about Giveaway Riches.

We all know the mantra in marketing:

THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST.

Let’s say you have a great new product but
you’re not making any sales. Worse, you
don’t have a list to promote that product to.
You see, if you had a list of folks who already
knew who you were, they’d be more likely to
want to buy your latest product because they
already like and trust you.

Heck, if you had a list, you could even tell them
about other great products you’ve discovered
that could really help them grow their
businesses.

The key is getting a big list of your own.

So you set up a squeeze page or even simple
opt-in box to start building a list. You try
driving more traffic to site with PPC, article
writing, and lots of other online marketing
methods.

If you’re doing at least that much, good for
you.

The problem is it takes time to build a list. In
cases, it can take months or even years to build
a big list in a niche. And that’s why most
marketers give up trying.

Thank goodness Jason James found another way.
You see, Jason is a self-made internet
millionaire and he didn’t get that way by
sitting around hoping to have a big mailing list
someday.

He went out and discovered what the top 1% of all
internet marketers was doing to build their own
massive mailing lists.

He took what he learned and tested. What worked,
he kept doing and the rest he tossed out. More
importantly, Jason took notes every step of the
way.

And now he’s taken his notes and turned them
into a powerful new manual called Giveaway
Riches.

You see, Jason discovered that the top marketers
were using a marketing technique called giveaway
events to build a list and make money at the same
time.

Sounds simple, right?

Well, you’d be both right and wrong.

Set up and do your giveaway event correctly and
you could wind up with results like Jason.

A recent giveaway event yielded a new subscriber
list of 50,000 people and over $100K in sales.

Of course, if you make a mistake with your
giveaway, you could wind up with no list, no
sales, and a professional reputation worse than a
disgraced politician resigning from office.

Fortunately, Jason has created a manual that lays
everything out for you, step-by-step.

http://www.GiveawayRiches.com/

I’ve reviewed Giveaway Riches and it’s
absolutely brilliant. It’s a marketing
technique that works so well that it should kept
under lock and key.

Best of all, Jason explains everything in plain
English so you can get started right away. There
are no complicated graphs or technical lingo. You
get exactly the information you need.

And if you ever need help, there is a support
desk ready to answer all your questions.

So what are you waiting for?

Andrew

P. S. You can use the system for 56 days and
receive full money back if not satisfied. And
speaking of money, I don’t know what Jason was
thinking, but he’s practically giving this
manual away for a super low fee. So grab it
now before he comes to his senses.

So it looks like 2009 is going to be the year of twitter.

With mainstream UK media coverage from the likes of Chris Moyles, Lord Schofield, Stephen Fry, and Jonathon Ross people are joining by the thousand. All these people and the ability to re-tweet has lead to something called the “TwitterEffect” so there’s never been a better time to start using twitter to network and find new targeted visitors to your blog.

#1 Update Your Twitter Profile

Under settings you can add a url, make sure this link is your blog address. This means that when you get new followers and they view your profile they’ll have a direct link to your blog.

#2 Twitter is the new RSS

When you visit any established blog you will see the orange RSS feed in the top right hand corner. Now most people won’t check their RSS feed everyday, but most twitter users will, hence I think twitter will be the new RSS. At the moment a standard button for twitter hasn’t been established, but you should be adding an image next to the RSS link that points to your twitter page.

#3 Follow The Leaders In Your Industry

When you first start out you’ll probably know a few people you want to follow, but it’s quite daunting to figure out who the movers & shakers are in the Twitersvere. If you Follow MrTweet you will be given a list of people who you should be following. If you’ve posted a few updates and a good bio then some of these people will follow you back, so let the networking begin.

#4 Install TweetDeck

Once you install this software onto your computer it opens up a whole new twitter experience.

When someone your following updates it will ping and let you know someone has tweeted. It allows you instantly reply to updates, and it will monitor for anyone who replies to one of your tweets. No more frantically refreshing the homepage to get that twitterfix!

#5 The TweetMyBlog Plugin

This nifty plugin allows me to have my twitterfeed in the sidebar of my blog.

It will also automatically update my twitter account everytime I make a new post, and if you have established good relationships then you should see instant traffic.

#6 The Sociable Plugin

Once installed this plugin makes it easy for readers to share your content. Be sure to tick the “TweetThis” function so that people can tweet about your blog post in seconds. Providing you produce good Pillar Content the amount of extra traffic could be huge.

#7 Use Search To Get Found

Have you seen people post updates with a #nerdpickuplines or similar? If you use the search function then you will this is a way of trending and picking out what is popular. By tweeting about popular topics not only will you have topics to chat about at the watercooler but you’re being part of the community, which will bring more traffic back to your blog.

#8 Use ViralTweets instead of E-mail Capture

The thinking about offering a free report in exchange for your readers email is that you can follow-up and email them about new blog posts. Whilst email lists are fantastic the chances of ytour reader telling all their friends about the free report are pretty slim. If you study the offer on my sidebar you’ll see that anyone who tweets the message automatically follows me, and posts a link to my main website – long term much more valuable than an individual address.

#9 Be Yourself

Twitter is a big social network that works on the basis of “What Are You Doing?”

If all you’re doing is blasting adverts over the twitter network then you’re not going to make any friends, and you’re wasting your time. Conversly if you use it a “Micro Blogging” site and post things that aren’t worth whole blog posts it will work fantastically well for you, and help establish a relationship with the readers of your blog.

#10 The Power Of The Retweet

This final point is probably the most important for traffic generation.

When someone you’re following posts a link to a blog post and you like the content you go to tweetdeck and hit the little arrow button. This automatically retweets the link to the content, and shows your followers you’ve found an article you think they would like to read. By retweeting great content you will gain the respect of your followers, and get on the radar of the person who wrote the content.

Finally if do write a hot topic article then be sure to make sure to tell people that you want it retweeted.
With that in mind if you found this post helpfull then copy this into tweetdeck and hit enter

Once you’ve done that be sure to leave a comment and include your twitter link, I will follow back anyone who comments.

Happy Tweeting

If you have used WordPress for longer than a few days you know how handy it is to have plugins that backup your database, generate Google sitemaps for more traffic, and optimize your HTML for search engine rankings…

What about those plugins that put your blog on autopilot, so you don’t have to update it anymore?

Or ones that get you way more comments, so you can generate buzz about your blog posts without any effort on your part.

What about the plugins that YOU want to make?  Ones that don’t exist yet?

WordPress developer Robert Plank has made so many WordPress plugins in the past couple of weeks that he coded “PHP templates” for them.  If you want to make a sidebar widget… open a file and fill a couple things in.

If you want to make a plugin that does database stuff… for example, a plugin that ethically bribes my users by giving them a present if they leave 5 comments, I open that template.

If you want to make a plugin that responds to new blog posts… like automatically copying each post I make onto Twitter for social marketing, I open that template.

I’ve got 7 of those kinds of templates.  You can handle posts, custom fields that apply to the whole WordPress blog, custom fields that only apply to specific posts, embed video and other “repetitious” code…  just fill stuff in with PHP code.

Quick question for you.

Let’s say I just gave you a plugin that allowed you to drip feed your articles into your blog… upload a zip file containing a bunch of text files, each representing an article… and you could specify you want those articles to get scheduled 1 week apart, 4 days apart, 72 hours apart, and so on.  You could also tell WordPress what time of day you wanted to post the articles.

Would that be worth $47 to you, to save hours and hours of work?  Because that’s what a couple of people are selling those plugins for.

If you went to anyone else, that would cost you $47 just for that one plugin… but with me… that’s not even 1/16th of what you get!

You read right.  If you have NO interest in learning WordPress plugins, I’ll give you 9 plugins that do everything from regularly import multiple full RSS feeds content as blog posts… so you don’t have to update your blog anymore.

Automate the call-to-actions asking people to leave comments.  Show the number of posts, comments, and video available on your blog.  Publish posts from your drafts if a ton of people comment (the ten comment rule!)  Should I keep going?

The “WordPress Crusher” package contains those 9 plugins, plus 7 fill-in-the blank templates… 86 pages of details PDF documentation, 31 minutes of quick start “how to install all the plugins” videos… and 4.7 hours of full WordPress training so you can make any changes you want.
