I am writing this post with mix feelings. I am wondering whether I want to play a part in recommending this resource to the masses! I honestly think its too valuable! But you know, its already the top product by gravity on Clickbank. And the price is about to go from $77 (a real bargain) to $97 (still a great bargain!).

So instead of being competitive, I’m going to be creative instead. Listen close, if you want to make a real significant income from affiliate marketing, then this may be the best collection of resources I have seen so far. And trust me, I have seen A LOT!

Here’s what it is in a nutshell:

Affiliate Conspiracy comprises of 3 reports that are the most concise and complete information on making money with affiliate marketing. The first report is on Adwords, the second is on the actual Affiliate Conspiracy System and the third is on Relationship Marketing. Instead of getting overloaded with information, these 3 reports combine will give you the actionable knowledge for INSTANT PROFITS. There are also over 30 videos of Eric Rockefeller actually IMPLEMENTING the Affiliate Conspiracy techniques and making money. Finally, he even gives you the ACTUAL html templates and 3 PROFITABLE NICHE markets to apply them on. With all that, it will be almost impossible not to make money from this package unless you simply do NOTHING with it!

My Bonus To You:

I am so confident Eric has hit a home run with this one that I am going to give him my full support to promote it. So If you decide to get Affiliate Conspiracy through my link, I will give your over 500 Internet marketing videos with full resell rights that you can use as your own bonus when you recommend affiliate products. Yes, you get the whole lot for free. The full list of videos is too long to list here but you can review them at http://imvideobuzz.com

With this combination, you won’t need anything else to start your profit systems immediately.

Here’s what you do to claim the bonus:

1. Buy The Affiliate Conspiracy by clicking on this link.
2. Send me an email with your purchase receipt to mail{at}brianwong{dot}com
3. I will personally go through each email and send you full access to over 500 Internet marketing video tutorials at IMVideoBuzz.

Welcome to the successful affiliate marketers club! :)

For fun on this post, I thought I’d take you on a tour of my home office as it currently stands. As some of you might know, I will be moving to my permanent home/ office towards the end of the year. I am moving to a penthouse apartment on the 45th floor at K-Residence (SWEET!). It’s almost ready. I am currently going through the renovation plans with my interior designer.

In the meantime, this is where I work from (unless I am at Starbucks) or travelling:

1. This is my “Brain Wall”. I always create “mind maps” while I am brainstorming as well as when I am in the process of creating a project. It seems to be the only thing that works well for me.
2. My 17″ MacBook Pro. Awesome machine. I run both Mac and Windows on it. I generate my own graphics, videos and audios. What can I say - its the perfect computer for me.
3. Affiliate Checks. Most of my online income is transfered online but I do get checks from Aweber, the Affiliate Center, Google Adsense and Clickbank.
4. 17″ External Monitor. I use an external monitor rotated to Portrait size mostly to read eBooks and I do read A LOT of eBooks so its much easier this way.
5. Internet Courses. I spend about $5k to $10k per year on books, seminars and courses. Having the latest knowledge is the most important asset in my business.
6. Reading/ Work Desk. Currently reading Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to Adwords. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve not used Adwords at all in my online business. I’m still not entirely convinced if it will help me in my online business. Seems to be too much competition for my niche markets on Adwords.

If you work from home too, I’m curious to know what your set up looks like. Post a link as a comment on this post if you care to share.

On this post I want to share one of my personal experiences with Resell Rights products. While there is no doubt that you can make a lot of money online, the question I want to address is - “can someone starting from scratch with no list and no experience do it too?”. And…is it as EASY as many hyped up websites claim it is?

Here’s a summary of my case study:
I started with no list and no product to sell. I decided to try an experiment with a “Resell Rights” product that I found interesting and ended up making over $1,000 with a few forum posts. Hmmm something to think about. Was it luck? You be the judge, this is what I did:

Step 1: Finding a Product to Sell Online
I discovered this product by accident. I saw a blog post with a “Peel-Away-Ad” on the top corner. I decided to buy the product at the offer price of $27. During the checkout process, I was presented with a “one-time-offer” to purchase the Resell Rights for the product. I purchased that too since it came with a ready-made website. Total cost = $27 + $67 = $94

I started seeing good results by applying this product on my own blog (in fact, I still use it today) so I felt comfortable selling this product. So now I have a product to sell!

Step 2: Customize the Sales Page
My preferred way to collect money online is via PayPal. Reason is that I can access these funds immediately and I do not need to wait for a check to arrive in the mail. So I created a PayPal Buy Button for the product and copied the html code for my sales page. I then used a free HTML Editor (NVU) to add my PayPal Buy Button to the ready-made sales page.

The whole process (including creating the PayPal button and testing) took less than 30 minutes.

I then uploaded the entire site to a sub-directory of one of my sites I was using as a squeeze page. Here’s the link:

http://secretseminarsystem.com/recommends/peelawayads/

I generally don’t recommend this as the link is very long and since the root domain refers to another product this may confuse your buyers. I only did this because I just didn’t want to spend too much time on this project and I was in a hurry.

Step 3: Promote the Product
I went to a few affiliate marketing forums. To me, this is just a hobby where I just chat with other marketers online or just help someone out where possible. I decided to post my results with this tool on a forum and added my link the sales page.

The Results?
Between August 8 to December 17 2007, the sales page registered $1,166.38 in NET Sales to my PayPal account. That’s a 1,241% return on my initial investment of only $94. I was quite happy.

Conclusion
So is it easy to make money online? Well the answer honestly is “yes” and “no”.

Yes, because the technical steps to set this up is ridiculously simple. I think anyone can do it.

No, because it is not always this easy to match the right product with the right market. Not every resell product will be easy to sell without actively promoting it.

My conclusion is to keep taking action and testing. The Holy Grail in Internet marketing is to find the right Niche Market to promote a Great Product to.

This is an update on a previous post. On May 3rd, I made a post to express my shock and horror to realize that BrianWong.com was totally removed from the Google Search Index. Meaning my site was totally non-existent in Google’s eyes! Here’s a link to the post:

http://brianwong.com/blog/i-got-google-slammed-for-not-paying-attention-to-seo/

I listed the mistakes I made that got me de-listed and I also outlined a 5-Point plan to get my site back into Google’s good graces. So I’m pleased to report in this post that my site has been re-indexed by Google and I am back to ranking no.1 for the keywords - “Brian Wong”! Here’s the screen shot for my search for “Brian Wong”. Yay!

That’s means the actions I took paid dividends in just under 2 weeks. Please revisit the previous post above to see what I did to regain the top spot on Google for my name if you are keen to improve your search ranking. It worked.
Here’s a summary of what improves your search ranking:

1. Frequency of keywords in your site - especially in anchor text. (I used “brian wong in the footer of each page as an anchor text)
2. I admit that I have an advantage because the domain name itself contains the keywords “Brian Wong”
3. In bound links makes a big difference too. I comment a lot on forums and other blogs with links back to my site.
4. Submitting a site-map to Google helps too
5. I use meta tags on each page and ensure my permalinks contain keywords too

Ok, that’s it for this week cos I just got back from a holiday in Phuket and am a little burnt from playing with my son in the pool for 2 hours everyday!!! :)

I keep falling for it. Each time there is a Wordpress version update, I cannot resist upgrading. Mostly because I hate seeing the message that “there’s a new version of Wordpress, please update!” message. It makes me feel as though my version is old.

However, each time I upgrade I end up spending an hour trying to fix the bugs that make Wordpress work EXACTLY the way I wanted it to work BEFORE I upgraded! Hmmmm! Something is wrong with this equation! I upgrade so I can spend an hour making my blog look exactly the way it was before I upgrade.

Anyway, if you have upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1 do check that your RSS feeds working properly! What I discovered was that my RSS feed was completely empty even though I have been publishing posts. This was very troubling because I use FeedSmith to redirect all my feeds to Feedburner. If you go to my original feed at www.brianwong.com/blog/rss2.php you will see that the feed reports ZERO posts on my blog despite all my posts!

The fix?

Well I discovered that my feed at www.brianwong.com/blog/feed still works. So this is what I had to do to get back online:

1. Disable the FeedSmith plugin
2. Edit my RSS source in Feedburner from www.brianwong.com/blog/rss2.php to www.brianwong.com/blog/feed

So the next time Wordpress comes up with the message ” “there’s a new version of Wordpress, please update!” will I upgrade??

Sigh! I guess I am a sucker for punishment, I think I would still do it.
