#1 way to make money online with CommentLuv longterm – Part 2

Morning!

A few days ago, I wrote

How to make gratuitous profits with CommentLuv longterm – Part 1

I was going to write today’s post last Thursday, but instead wrote

How to dramatically increase your optin list with ease

Can you guess why?  There really is a method to me madness indeed!

It’s okay, I’ll wait…take your time to guess why. 

Tick tock tick tock tick tock….

Alrighty!  Here’s why. Read more

How to dramatically increase your optin list with ease

 

Big Huge Lists!Morning!

Yes, I know….today I’m supposed to write Part II about Gratuitous Profits via CommentLuv.  It occured to me, however, that I should really proactively demonstrate part II FIRST…and then reveal to my readers just what I managed to secretly achieve.

So!  You’ll be seeing part II next Monday.  For today, I’d like to talk instead about your optin mailing list.

aWeberYou DO have one, right?  You know, it’s that thing called your newsletter or your ezine or your free 7 day eclass or your ….. anything, in fact, that compels your blog visitors to give you their email address so you can contact them in the future.

Your optin list is powered by your autoresponder.  I myself have been using aWeber now for over 8 years – you can read my review of it at

Review – aWeber autoresponder, going on 8 years now

Anywhos!  As you might have heard, the money is in the list.  The bigger your list is, the more people who see your products/affiliate links/blogs/etc., and the more probability that someone will buy from you.

Remember – the money is in the list.

Thus, to really beef up your Income Fitness, you WANT to ensure your list grows and grows and grows and grows and grows and ….. you get the idea.  :)

Now, a great way to do this is to have some sort of giveway (here’s MINE, the first installation of my Income Fitness series).  You want to make it IMPOSSIBLE for your visitors to miss it!  What I do is include an optin in my right sidebar, on the top of my page, plus I occassionally drive traffic via Twitter.

But I also use…..

Ultimatefooter

You see, every 3 or 4 times someone visits my site, the above graphic pops up ON MY FOOTER. 

This immediately draws the attention of the visitor…and more likely than not, they’ll sign up if the bonus appeals to them.

I bought this about 3 months ago and really have found it to be tops indeed. 

Thus….want to dramatically grow YOUR optin list?  Visit:

www.OptinFooters.com

and see for yourself.  Chances are, you’ll be most pleasantly surprised indeed.

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling

How to make gratuitous profits with CommentLuv longterm – Part 1

CommentLuvMorning!  Over at my forums, someone just posted:

Make money with CommentLuv

and the question was:

I’ve been looking around online and lots of sites have this thing called Commentluv on them from CommentLuv . How does this make them money?

Since today is Monday, and I now post at this blog on Mondays and Wednesdays, I figured….jeepers, it would make a spiffy topic indeed to explore!  So let’s get right to it.

You have to remember that money doesn’t always have to be made TODAY.  Yes, indeed, it’s more wonderful than Read more

Easily Save Your Loved Ones From Being Horribly Scammed – Covert Angel Time!

Angels in disguiseMorning!

As you’re aware, the Virtual Coach site is all about building a healthy income online. 

But did you know it’s also about looking out for your loved ones, friends and families online as well?

Lots of that is covered over in my Virtual Coach Income Fitness forums, where we warn the online community about scams that obliterate the Internet.

You know what I’m talking about, right?  Things like

Make Insane Amounts of Money By Shutting Off Your Brain and Believing The Following Lies!!!!!!!

sites are becoming more prevalent online than a plague of slime-infested mosquitos.

I’m talking, of course, about sites that tell you it’s ONLY $1.98 to access 7 days’ worth of information, and then hit your credit card for the $99/month fees that were revealed ONLY in the Terms of Service page.

I was interviewed about that last week (you can read the article at I’m quoted in the LA Times about Twitter, Scams, Buyer Beware, and Reading the TOS).   And you can see other newsworthy articles about similar scams over at Read more

I'm quoted in the LA Times about Twitter, Scams, Buyer Beware, and Reading the TOS

Terms ServiceMorning everyone,

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with Tiffany Hsu of the LA Times regarding her article:

Here’s a portion of the article:

…Online predators have hit on social media site Twitter as the latest tool to lure victims into get-rich-quick and work-at-home schemes, according to the Better Business Bureau.

After tracking years of scams involving e-mail and Google, the bureau is seeing a surge in the number of companies claiming to help people turn Twitter into a virtual ATM with little effort and no risk, said spokeswoman Alison Southwick.,….

My part came in when I was asked about Twitter Profit House.  You might remember that became a very active thread on the Virtual Coach Income Fitness forums over at

where I demystified the Terms of Service portion of the site.  To wit: Read more

What Income Fitness is NOT Part II

Income FitnessMorning!

A few days ago, I wrote

Ever wonder what Income Fitness is NOT? Part 1

Time for me to start Part II!

Here’s another thing Income Fitness is NOT:

  • Income Fitness is NOT short-term.
  • ‘Matter of fact…it’s almost impossible to even MAKE it short term.

And here’s why.

Ever wish you could make your living online…and then "set it and forget it"?

For the vast majority of people, this simply will NEVER EVER happen.  Oh, you can make it big online, of course.  You can develop quite a healthy thriving income from your work too!

But remember…the future is always in motion and never stagnates. 

That means that making it big TODAY is no guarantee whatsoever you’ll be in stable states tomorrow.

Think about it!  Let’s say that you have a fantastic growing income from your Squidoo lenses and your resource sites and supreme high search engine visibility.

Then let’s say….Google decides it doesn’t like you and slaps your rankings down to the Bottomless Pit of Dastardly Doom.

UNLESS you’ve been smart and have built up your list during your hey-day of high visibility, you’re, well, toast.

Big huge video marketing launch hype

Video marketingMorning!

Have you heard of the most recent big huge video marketing launch hype?

How marketers can sell these ideas for the price it is commanding…amazing. 

Luckily, there are far more cost-conscious ideas out there!  For example, Video Assassin (look thru my blog for my review, it’s excellent) gives you quality ideas and takes you by the hand for precise how-to steps for marketing….at a fraction of the cost.

Remember peoples, whenever big huge expensive launches come out, you should first explore if anything else exists that costs much less yet does deliver on the promises. 

A marketer’s job is to make something so incredibly yummy, you’d sacrifice your last cup of coffee for it. Read more
