I have inside information that can be extremely beneficial to any internet marketer.
I made a short report. Let's say 20 pages that detail this information.
Where can I sell this report?
I thought about WSO, but that forum seems dead. Any other places?
I honestly think it is really good and useful information that internet marketers will jump on pretty quick, I just need exposure.
It isn't anything complicated or long. A rather short report type of instructional pdf.

Beginner here. Was just wondering. I am selling a product on my website. I'd like to run facebook ads, but how can I measure how successful a certain ad is in terms of sales? If I knew for example that it costs me $10 to make 15$ then that would be a no brainer, but I am wondering how to measure this on the first place.

Cloaking is a SEO technic to show spider bots a different page than real users. Google doesn't like it if its deceptive, but if its the same content type, then its ok. Usually cloaking scripts have high subscription fees for IP list updates for the latest spider bot IPs, but the software FinalCloak uses a new method to detect bots dynamically and is only a onetime payment. That way traffic can be sent directly to affiliate landing pages, while search engine bots see the "real page" which can now be highly optimized only for search engines to rank higher in the SERPs. This can really help to increase affiliate comissions as users have 1 click less to your affiliate lander, so you can send them directly to the network you are promoting!

Solo Ads sellers have a large list of thousands of subscribers. These subscribers are actually individual persons, who had signed up by their own choices.
Sellers collect their emails in return of different offers, promotions, giveaways etc. They used to create a landing or optin-page & invite people.
Against their valuable offers, information or any stuff, people used to subscribe by giving their data such as their name, emails etc.
You can get massive results by solo ads if you do affiliate marketing.
Rant:
People. Internet marketing...everyone is a "thought leader" just posting a sterile series of the same Google friendly "content". Go on LinkedIn and you see the same thing. If there is any engagement it's other "thought leaders" giving the poster a genericly professional rub down.
Go to any conference and it's low level recycled information that's wrapping paper for a sales pitch. Go watch Larry Kim do anything and he'll name drop whatever product he's selling so many times it'd make a drinking game that'd cause liver failure.
I ran an agency for four years and had a positive exit. I created the same content and posted the same stuff. I'm still in the marketing world and I have to say, it's sad stuff. #ppcchat is a decent group and there are pocket communities but it's so rare.
I feel like I'm the only one that feels this way! I cringe when I feel like I have to dance the jig to keep my professional connections and visibility in the marketing world.
Rant over. I think we can do better and be more sincere.
Two key tools in achieving higher rankings are the appropriate use of keywords and links. If you can properly keyword your articles and content, then you can easily match your website with search terms that users are looking for. When links are placed appropriately, you can increase the relevancy and reliability of your website across the board.

Reputation management refers to monitor the reputation of any person or brand and addressing contents that are damaging to it as well as using customer feedback to get feedback or early signals to reputation issues. There are a few steps you need to consider that we have mentioned below.
Step 1: monitoring your reputation
You can not fix a reputation issue and build trust if you don't know what people are thinking about you. Otherwise, affect a problem change in their perception of you. This is the reason that monitoring your online reputation is a key element of the definition of ORM (online reputation management) and the first component of a sound online reputation management strategy. In addition to this, monitoring your own reputation has many additional advantages. For example- it helps you track the success of a product launch or PR efforts, identify industry influencers who might help you and spy on the huge competition.
Furthermore, monitoring your business or your reputation online can take many forms. We have mentioned a few more common ways to track perceptions.
Setup Google alerts for your name like business, individual, etc.
Use monitoring tools such as trackur or social mention
Search Twitter and other social media channels your name regularly.
Step 2: addressing damaging content online
Keep in mind that addressing content damaging to your personal or business brand online and making good content to counter it, is the best part of the definition of online reputation management and includes many ethical gray areas. For example:
Step 3: using client feedback
When your hired online reputation management company monitoring your personal or professional reputation online, they will find feedback from your customers and clients you can use to create trust and better serve your targeted customers. Some of the things that can help you in bringing down the negative listings online:

Hi all Whenever a prospect ask me what is a funnel is and why it is better than a website I make a comparation with the evolution of cassete tape, cd, dvd, Blu Ray, pen drive and cloud storage. I say that funnels are the website evolution and that it's made to actually sell things online, while websites function as a mere brochure. If you were to describe funnels in simple terms for a average prospect to understand it, how would you say it?
I meet so many business owners who think SEO is a one and done deal. They mistakenly believe that once they get those desirable rankings the work is done...lol. Here is some great advice on what an ongoing SEO strategy should look like.
Hi guys I'm new here.
I have a niche Idea for my website.
I would like to write a blog about people getting scammed in a certain niche, and eventually offering them some sort of an educational program for them to buy. ( not my product but to dropship someone's else)
Any Ideas what kind of information I need to make this Idea into reality?
example:
How do I know which domain is good.
How can I know if my niche is a good Idea to SEO it ( if you know what I mean ), how do I research my keywords for example.
Is it possible to dropship someone else's product on my blog ?
How does it work in generally.
I would really love if someone can answer those questions for me :) Thanks a lot !

Hey guys, good morning. I have asked this question here last week but I have not gotten any tangible or enough advice yet on how to make a living with my account. I am running a Youtube channel with 22K, It's PETERSON HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
I review Fragrances, perfume for men and women. I am just not making money, with Youtube ads, it's around 300 dollars, the biggest amount I had once was 450 dollars.
I would like to ask you guys for more advice where I turn this around and start making at least one thousand a month. I've been with Amazon Associates, this sucks. The commission is simply too low.
I have teespring, and I have not sold one shirt for five months. I am having a lot of visits per days, more than 10k. My channel is very active and I upload two or three videos per week.
So, something is missing, something I am not doing right.
Any advice is Welcome.......I hope you guys have a great Weekend. a
The webinar will be somewhere between 45-90 minutes in length.
I'll be using Google Slides and voicing over each slide.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to record each slide individually multiple times to get the best one and then eventually piece together all 50+ slides later on for one seamless presentation?
OR:
Go over each slide 5-10+ times in a row to get the best one and then go back and delete all the other ones later on.
I hope that makes sense?
Free is best, but open to paying if need be.
What's the best software or program to use for a Mac?
Or any tips with what I'm trying to accomplish greatly appreciated!

For example, I thought of creating a 1 pager landing page using something like a GumRoad or other service and then driving ads to that or using affiliate networks (e.g. Clickbank etc)?

Are you a fan or a hater of SaaS competitor comparison pages?
I've always found them to be so polarizing.
Writing SaaS competitor comparison pages is one of the toughest things to do well.
Usually, one of two things end up happening:
Check out Drift's comparison page with Intercom.
They take a classy approach to a very difficult page to pull off by addressing the elephant in the room, using lots of social proof, and making low-commitment asks.
Notice that they don't slam Intercom at all. In fact, complementing their competitor is actually a pretty genius move to build more trust and credibility with the reader.
They also really focus on WHO each tool is for, and force the reader to self-select. Product person? Intercom. Marketing/sales person? Drift.
There's tons more, but that's the gist of it.

How to posting in multiple facebook groups without disable account ?
A 234-respondent survey in the UK found that 63% of marketers believed that their brands could be compromised due to the need to work remotely.
The survey was conducted by Marketing Week at large organisations. It found that 32% of the respondents believe remote working was rare until recently, when COVID-19 quarantine measures have been enforced. 92% meanwhile, believed that remote working will become common soon.
While marketers have genuine concerns about how their working teams will manage remote work during the quarantine, only 10% believe that their organisations would be compromised should everyone work remotely.
What about you? Are you part of an organisation that has been implementing remote working ever since? Chime in.
Bit.ly is the perfect example, but there are lots of vanity URLs around too. They help promote your brand or website (for example, abc.de/website), or a cause (dona.te/help). And since they are shortened, users are less likely to fuss over typing. I mean, it's easier typing a short URL rather than url.com/ineedhelptoday, right?
What about you? Have you implemented custom link shorteners?
We all need a lead magnet, so why not use one that can make money for YOU?

I help run goso.io, a rule-abiding Instagram growth tool... and one of the most common questions we get is how to optimize hashtags.
They're a (rare) built in follower-acquisition channel, purposefully created to help users find posts like yours.
Growing without them puts you at a handicap. So after managing thousands of Instagram profiles, we've boiled down hashtag usage to 3 core principles:
1) Use 27 hashtags. While Instagram allows for 30 hashtags per post, it penalizes those who actually max out. Staying just under the limits allows you to get the full exposure without being throttled.
To get the fullest effect, post equal parts large hashtags (the ones with millions of posts), medium hashtags (less than a million posts), and small hashtags (less than 250k) posts. Big ones like #love & #coffee are so popular that you're unlikely to ever be ranked or listed there for more than a few seconds. Smaller ones simultaneously have less competition & more niche audiences, often meaning they're viewed for longer & by more interested people. If a 'dead' hashtag is very specific to what you're posting about, you can win a top listed post for a very long time, especially if you're one of the few high performing posts in that #graveyard.
2) Copycat your competitors. There's plenty of hashtag research tools out there, but we prefer to do them more personally & directly: by checking similar posts/accounts that make it to our Explore page & noting down the hashtags they use (especially when multiple Explore-page-posts have one in common). Another option is to pay for the hashtag research, there are a lot of useful companies that can provide this service for you if that's your preference.
A quick note on this, don't keep spamming the same 27 hashtags. This too is monitored (especially if you misuse one and get flagged by a user for using an irrelevant hashtag), so keep varying between a larger list of hashtags & keep em relevant.
3) Don't hashtag in the comments. As we mentioned before, hashtags are one of Instagram's few built-in follower-acquisition tools... and they don't appreciate when you hide them. Ideally for Instagram, the hashtags are there for followers to see as clearly as possible, which means within the post description. When you hide them in the comments, Instagram penalizes their weight for your post and you're less likely to be ranked on hashtag pages or the explore page.
We did a video on this (same content, if you prefer that format), and other Instagram growth tactics as well.
Good luck and may your growth be exponential :)
