ScribeJuice Review

February 27, 2008

ScribeJuice 2.0 Beta is a software that teaches how to write sales copy that gets noticed.

If you are like me writing sales copy for your site is not a strong point…not even close.  Finding a copywriter you can afford is almost impossible if you want your copy to actually have an effect on your readers.  Unless you’re a big guy on the Internet marketing block, paying thousands of dollars to have a sales page written for you just isn’t possible.  That’s where ScribeJuice 2.0 will help.  After finding this software my outlook on writing has changed 100%.

This software has taught me how to write sales letters that actually work.  Without a sales letter that works, your business is pretty much stuck where it is.

I can send an email now that I know will be opened right off the bat. I used to put very little thought into the subject line of my emails and because of this, my open rates were very low.  I didn’t grab their attention and to the trash folder they went.  Now with the help of this tool I send emails that people can’t wait to read.

I also write my audio scripts myself now.  They grab the attention and keep it.  With some of the words I’ve learned from this software people are actually clicking through and buying my products now.  It’s amazing how just a few little words change the attitude and mindset of so many people.  Believe it or not it does work.

If you have an online business, copywriting is a necessity in order to grow and prosper.  Whether it’s sales pages, emails or audio words, the words you use will either make or break your business success.  ScribeJuice 2.0 is a must in your computer library.  It will change the way you feel about writing (it’s not as difficult as many of us think), but most of all it will give you the confidence to write and put it out there for everyone to see.


Internet Business Equals No Work or Money Required

February 26, 2008

How do you like that for a post title?

Some of you that run Internet Businesses are saying “WHAT”, she must be crazy!

Now let me explain.

From time to time I receive emails from other moms that want to work online from home and they ask me various questions, but in the end the conversation usually goes something like this:

“Wendy, I want to work from home on the Internet to be with my kids and also provide some income for the family as well”.

Awesome, I tell them. We usually then discuss what they have experience with, what kind of things are interesting to them, etc. I try to provide them with some guidance and direct them to some sites to look at that may be of interest to them. The response is something like this:

” Wow, that looks like a lot of work. I thought I could start an Internet business for free and that it wouldn’t require much time”

Well, in any serious business you need to spend some money to make some money and it takes a lot of HARD WORK.

I try my best to steer theses moms in the right direction to avoid many of the mistakes that I made over the years when I was in their shoes, but sometimes it feels like they want me to send them a magic CD that they can pop into their computer and “PRESTO” - an instant, no work involved, Internet business is born (and let’s not forget the free hosting account with ads all over it).

Thank goodness some of these moms understand that it isn’t instant and it takes a little bit of money and a lot of hard work to start out online. I know they are taking it seriously and want to succeed. It puts a smile on my face to know that I’ve helped them out in some way.

Sorry for the misleading title, but that is basically what some of these women are looking for. If you find it let me know and send me that magic CD. :)

Easy Partnership Review

February 18, 2008

CreateEasy Partnership is a six downloadable audio course that explains the ins and outs of starting joint ventures online. Put together by Kelly McCausey and Nicole Dean, every audio tells you about partnerships, how to achieve them, but most importantly how to make them work. It also includes a printable transcript, a checklist and 2 bonus sections on the legal issues involved with a partnership.

This guide is so complete. It has helped me to know that being in a partnership is not only profitable but can make my business life easier to manage and run. If it hadn’t been for Kelly & Nicole putting this together, I would have continued wondering what I needed to do in order to create a partnership online. After listening to all of the information and seeing how easy it can be, I couldn’t wait to get started in my first partnership.

After checking this out I found out what the benefits of a partnership could mean to my business. I never realized how much a joint venture could help my profits sore. There are so many ways. I have learned how a partnership could keep me motivated and how it would help me with knowing I had set the right goals. It’s amazing the skills I’ve learned from being in my first partnership already. I know my contact list will grow and so will my profits once launch day is here.

I’ve learned how to know when a partnership is right for my business and how to find the perfect partner. I’ve come to know the benefits of a long-term partnership and also how to end a partnership that is has fulfilled its need. It’s also taught me what to do and what not to do in order to keep a joint venture happy for everyone involved and going strong.

This has taught me how to find and approach potential partners. I was always afraid to approach people, especially those who have more experience than I do. After hearing the ideas in this course I felt like I could do it and the only limit I had was the sky. It gave me confidence I had been lacking. Once I knew the questions to ask those I hope to partner with, I am well on my way.

Keeping my partnership together and happy was a very important part of my plan. This course showed me exactly how to do that. It’s a give and take world, you just need to know when and where to give and take. The responsibility of a partnership can be hard, but with the right tools and information you can keep it together for a long time.

If you are thinking of starting an online joint venture, I highly suggest you get this course out. It will give you all the ins and outs you need to know to make sure it’s the right decision for you and your business. If it is, you’ll know how to make it profitable and keep it that way.

Psychic Search WordPress Plugin

February 14, 2008

I’m a HUGE fan of WordPress plugins. I could spend hours at the WordPress Plugin Database just browsing around seeing what neat little treasures I can find, but of course I have work to do, so I try to keep myself under control. :)

Every so often I hear about a new plugin or come across a whole list of plugins that some other WordPress blogger says they use, etc.

I usually check them out right away to see if perhaps there is something that could improve my current blogs or if there is a plugin that might work better than an existing one that I’m using.

Yesterday, I received an email from MaxBlogPress notifying me of a new plugin that has just been released, which is called Psychic Search.

Basically, Psychic Search is a plugin that allows you to see what keywords your web visitors are searching for on your blog within the last 24 hours (It also keeps records for the last 7 and 3o days as well).

At first glance from reading their post ( Psychic Search ) I was thinking that I could just use my web stats for this purpose, as that’s what I usually do. So I was just going to pass on the plugin. Just as I was about to click away from their site, I thought I would give it a try anyway.

I installed it on my blog at Mommies Magazine yesterday to give it a test run. This morning I logged into my admin area expecting not to find any results but that wasn’t the case at all.

I was happy to find several search terms that had been used recently on my blog (some were quite strange) and have decided to keep this plugin activated. Here are the reasons why I’ve already decided that I like it :)

1. I can set the options so that searches performed by myself (admin) or any logged in users are not counted.

2. It’s so much quicker to view the stats from the WordPress dashboard than having to take an additional step to login to my hosting account to view the stats from there.

3. I can decide which type of user can see the stats. For example, if I have my virtual assistant setup as an Editor I can give her access to the stats as well. She then can take those keyword results and have articles written on those topics - since obviously that is what my web visitors are interested in reading about.

So, I’m giving Psychic Search two-thumbs up. If you want to give it a spin on your WordPress blog also you can download it from here.

If you try it out please stop back by and let me know what you thought of it. :)


Keyword Elite Review

February 14, 2008

Keyword Elite is a keyword research tool that teaches you how to make money with your website by using keyword lists. It shows how to find low cost and high traffic keywords, how to create a keyword list, how to analyze that list and how to know what the competition is doing in regards to those keywords and phrases.

Review:

Have you ever heard someone say they make a lot of money on the Internet and hardly do anything? Pay per click ads, such as Google Adsense and Adwords, is one of the biggest ways they do it. Keyword Elite helps to find keywords that are popular search terms to help bring visitors to your site.

This software will show you how to generate high paying keyword lists. This can make you bundles of money without working you to the bone. Keyword Elite makes building a 1,000 word list in a matter of a few minutes easy.

It will show you how to find those hidden keywords that can generate money yet few people know are there. It shows you how to create content on your website that has the focus of these keywords, but doesn’t overload it with those phrases. With just a click you can create article web page templates and great content from keywords and what can be learned from Keyword Elite.

This software is full of projects that can help you increase your Adsense income like you would never imagine. You are constantly given new information on how to have continued success with keyword lists.

This software is very user friendly. So many of these types of software are hard to install, follow and use. Not this software. It’s a piece of cake all the way around.

If you’re looking to increase income from your site, I highly suggest looking into this software. Without visitors a website will never make any money, but with Keyword Elite, you’ll know the phrases that will bring lots of targeted visitors and increase sales too.


It’s Back - Coupon Maker Tool

February 11, 2008

The post below was originally written back in December 2006. Some things have changed since then and I wanted to touch base on this topic to bring everyone up to speed.

The free online coupon maker is still available and you can locate it here. I will also be posting a link to it in my sidebar for easy future reference for those that enjoy using the free tool.

A while back when this site was on a different server I had offered a tool that creates customized coupons for printing. Well, I had lost all files to the script that I had created for me and the backup CD that I burned was destroyed. :(

Luckily, the wonderful programmer that originally created the script for me still had the files on his computer and sent them along to me today.

I’m happy to say that the coupon maker is back and working properly for our newsletter subscribers.

If you aren’t currently subscribed to our newsletter and would like to gain access to the free tool, simply subscribe and you will receive an email instantly with full details.


Wikis – The Disadvantages

February 4, 2008

A wiki is a tool allowing several users to join forces with each other by means of a group website. Each user can insert or vary the wording of the text as well as upload files, by merely using a web browser. Whilst there are many advantages to be had by using a wiki, it has to be said there are some disadvantages too.

• A wiki is web based which means that once put into cyberspace it can easily be found by others. Wiki’s can be made more secure by the use of a password but that will not guarantee that no-one else will be able to hack into it. It only takes one password holder to trust someone else, and before you know it your password will be know by all and sundry. Therefore, it you are working on a project which you really do not want anyone else to view, a wiki is probably not the best option for you.

• Although wikis do simplify matters when several people want to brainstorm and work together on projects by adding content to a group website, it still requires someone to keep tabs on what is being put on and this can get quite confusing. The great ideas of the team may turn into one big mess if no-one is controlling the content of material. It may help to solve this problem by designating one particular person to organize the wiki and its contents.

• There are always going to be less tech-savvy members of the group but they should be helped and encouraged by others in the team, to avoid the whole group losing out on the ideas they may have but are not confident enough to add to the wiki themselves

• It often happens that a particular member of the group is lazy about carrying out their share of the necessary work. This is when ideas get stolen and people not due to take the credit reap the benefits for ideas they are not really responsible for.

• What would happen if whilst traveling you lose your internet service or simply cannot find a connection? As the wiki is web based, you will not be able to access your work as you have no internet connection

• Another disadvantage is the fact that there are so many different types of wikis to pick from. How to install and back it up can sometimes cause bewilderment.

The above mentioned disadvantages are just a few of the things that can go wrong with a wiki and it is essential to realize that using a wiki can have many great advantages as well. You need to weigh up both the positive and negative sides before you decide on whether or not to use one. You may choose to dabble with one, maybe on a personal level in the beginning before progressing to the use of one for your business.


Ten Social Book Marking Sites and Reasons Why They Are Good

February 1, 2008

Social book marking is a method of sharing Internet bookmarks and there are many sites which let you distribute your most liked web pages amongst a network of other users.

Listed below are a few of the most popular ones.

technorati.com – This is a site which boasts nearly one and a half million visitors each month and allows users to share their blogs, videos, photos and much more.

del.icio.us – One of the first social book marking sites to really take off, this remains extremely popular today.

digg.com – With 8.7 million viewers each month, this site offers visitors instant information and statistics on their chosen topic.

stumbleupon.com – A fairly new site combining myspace with social book marking, offering users five pages of their own on any subject they wish.

reddit.com -This site has all the latest on what’s new and what’s hot at the moment and gives information on the weekly statistics.

fark.com – The main page of this site displays categories which allow the user direct access to topics including business, politics and sport.

mybloglog.com – This site combines social book marking, networking and blogging.

blinklist.com – This website is currently in beta testing and its mission statement refers to how people can use the service to keep track of their own research.

ma.gnolia.com – Not quite the size of some of the other sites, but easy to use with loads of information to help the visitor to understand social book marking. This is a great source for beginners.

tailrank.com – This site follows the conversations between blogs to help find out what is popular on the web. Users can search on any chosen topic or take a random view through several categories on anything from politics to entertainment

Whilst these sites all share social book marking, they are quite different from one another because they are aimed at special audiences. In order to get the most from these sites you may wish to use a combination of many of them. For example you could list your blogs on technorati.com and ping the site when you bring your blogs up to date. Another option is to join a site like stumbleupon.com and set up five web pages about a choice of topics which can be found on your own website. So if your website contains information on guinea pigs, one of your stumbleupon.com sites could feature information about how to feed guinea pigs and another page could explain the type of environment they should be kept in and so on and so forth.

In the meantime, continue with your bookmarks in del.icio.us to share with other users and pay a visit to a site such as tailrank.com to keep abreast of what others are blogging about. This can trigger off new blog posts for your own blog, which would mean you’d have more pings for technorati.com and so the cycle continues.

These fundamentals work together in creating more buzz for your website and establishing contact with people sharing similar interests. This could increase web traffic and even lead to the possibility of a joint project at some point in the future which will generate even more web traffic, but that’s a whole new topic for discussion on another day.
