Hi. Two Quickies for you today…

Quickie #1:

Imagine if you could see your own banner ads on 3rd-party websites like Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia…

Well now you can!

If you're using external sites (Web 2.0 sites, Article sites, Video sites, and so on) to grow your business, then you'll REALLY love this new software.

You'll find the details here:

Quickie #2:

Here's something I learned this week in Greg Lloyd's newsletter.

If you need to edit a PSD file — a common format for PLR ecovers and header graphics — but don't want to fork out for a copy of Photoshop, here's a solution.

Download a free copy of "Paint" image editing software here:

Then, get the PSD plugin here:

That's it for today. Talk to you soon.

All the best,

Hi. A lot of people (and I was guilty of this too) are under the mistaken belief that the only things available in the public domain are ancient texts, old TV clips or turn-of-the-century photographs.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

NEW content is being added to the public domain ALL the time. New texts, new videos, new music, new photos… This stuff is being added EVERY day — you just need to know where to look for it.

That means that there is a huge source of materials out there that you can use to create new products, new giveaways — or simply to provide great content for your website, blog, etc.

If you're still not sure how to get started mining this massive content supply, then you should take a look at this brand new set of video tutorials — they'll show you how and where to start exploring the vast world of public domain content:

(Reminder: This package includes Master Resale Rights AND… I've included the terrific 'Public Domain Survival Kit' as well, so you'll have everything you need to begin your exploration of
the world of public domain content.)

All the best,

Michael

Hi. There are four different parts to this post — be sure to take a moment check them all. (You'll see it's worth it.)

Here we go…

You've heard me talk in recent emails about reaching the maximum amount of people by offering ebooks — containing your links — that have broad mass appeal.

My jokes ebook was an example — and I've another one on the way in the coming days. (Stay tuned for that one.)

Here's what's interesting though…

Both ebooks were made by using content that's available in the public domain!

What that means for you is that, even if you've no desire to write your own material — and even if you've no desire to re-use PLR content — you can STILL create quality ebooks/videos/audios/etc using the vast quantity of public domain material that's freely available online.

So how do you get started with public domain content? Where can you find it? How do you know it's REALLY in the public domain?

You'll find the answers to these — and every other question you have — in this brand new video tutorial series:
http://www.public-domain.us/pd-fast/

(NOTE: I've included the terrific 'Public Domain Survival Kit' as well, so you'll be ultra-equipped for your exploration of the world of public domain content.)

If you're a writer — in any way, shape or form — then you might be interested in checking out how you can use your ability for more than just shopping lists:

If you have a WordPress Blog, I think you'll like this Plug-in:

And finally,…

Here's a small PDF for you. It's called "101 Ways to Use PLR Content" and, if nothing else, it's a terrific example of how you can create a short'n'sweet ebook and turn it into a vehicle for bringing people to your website:

That's it for today. Hope you found it useful.

All the best,

Hi. I've two more quickies for you today…

QUICKIE # 1:
If you've ever dreamed of starting your own membership site (whether free or paid), but were turned off by the technical complexity of setting it up, then I've got something for you.

It's a desktop software that will enable you to set up a secure, ready-to-use member site in just 60 seconds flat!

And it comes with full master resale rights too.

You'll find all the details here:

QUICKIE # 2:
I've got two new downloads for you today. As usual, there's nothing to sign up for — you'll find the direct download links here:
http://www.ebooktimes.com/Free_Dwnlds_0216

I've got some interesting things for you over the coming days, so please watch out for my next few emails.

Talk to you soon.

Michael

Hi. I've got a very nice — and brand new — resale rights package for you which I think you'll like a lot.

You'll find all the details here:
http://www.ebooktimes.com/SPS_0204

On a different note…

You might remember when I launched my Hilarious Jokes' ebook with PLR, I spoke about the importance of having ebooks with broad appeal if you want them to go viral.

I included the following quote from the "Viral Marketing Secrets" ebook: "When it comes to viral marketing, the more entertainment value your package or product incorporates, the better chances you have of people willingly sharing it with friends and family."

In short, if you have a nice ebook with BROAD appeal (and containing YOUR links etc.), then it WILL get passed around and give you LOTS of exposure at virtually no cost.

Well, stay tuned…

Very soon I'll have a new PLR ebook for you that fits the bill nicely. I expect to have it for you within the next 2 weeks. And, you're going to be very surprised at the deal I'll be giving you on this one!

Talk to you soon.

Michael

Hi. Around this time last year I told you that I was going to focus entirely on ONE new strategy to bring in visitors. I said I was going to remain focused on that strategy for a considerable length of time in order to determine whether it's any good or not.

So, what strategy did I focus on?

Twitter.

Yep, I decided I was going to dedicate considerable efforts to determining whether Twitter can REALLY be used to send targeted visitors to a website.

And now the confession bit…

Despite my initial enthusiasm (because I got a few hundred followers pretty fast), I quickly lost interest in the whole project.

Basically, every time I tweeted something, I would get zero, or one, or two, or (miracle of miracles!) maybe three clicks, and then… nothing.

Sure, if I had ten times more followers, then 1 or 2 would become 10 or 20.

But, to be quite frank about it, I couldn't be bothered.

The truth is…

I'm not a big Twitter fan. Not at all. I just don't get it. I see no value in it at all. I thinks it's something the world could REALLY live without.

BUT…

It's there whether we like it or not. And, it would seem, a LOT of people do like it.

SO…

I've decided to give it another go.

I've created a new Twitter account that's focused on promoting TotalResale.com and other resale rights products. (The account is at twitter.com/total_resale).

But this time, I'm approaching the task equipped with the proper tools.

And, so far, the results are much more promising.

I've built up quite a lot of followers in a short space of time. I'm at almost 1,700 and growing pretty fast. And, depending on what I tweet, I'm getting decent click-thrus (up to 20 or so at a time).

Now, considering how quick/easy/cheap it is to tweet, getting a decent — and ever-increasing — number of visitors, is suddenly looking feasible.

I'm still only getting 'warmed up' and I've quite a bit of learning to do in terms of what to tweet and when to tweet it.

I'm working on learning those things this week.

Unlike last year, (when I just let my efforts fizzle out before they really got started), this year I AM going to keep you informed on progress so that you can see for yourself whether it's worth focusing on Twitter yourself.

In the meantime, if you just want to get started right now, there's a terrific new ebook from Kevin Riley that outlines a very good strategy for a successful assault on Twitter.

You can check it out (and see the video), here:http://www.ebooktimes.com/tvm_2601

Okay, that's it for now. Happy Tweeting! (Or grumpy and reluctant Tweeting even.)

All the best,
