Not writing on this blog as I’m focusing on my goals right now. only http://internetincomecode.com will be updated more frequently.

This is a very fun tool that helps me to get a detailed idea of what the visitors and target audiences are trying to find out.

Over the past 4 years of doing businesses online, one of the key factors of being a successful internet marketer is being an expert in a market or niche of what you love.

You don’t need to have many skills or know all the difficult weird stuff online but you just need to be genuinely good at what you like to be – like photography, videography, jumping higher, losing weight, fitness, education, how to date, relationship, internet marketing, and many more…

And with just a little marketing skills, you could easily reach out to many people online. Due to the fact that you are good with what you are doing, you are able to attract a lot of attention through word of mouth. And that is what marketing all about…

During these few months, I’m a very much on fire for high growth. Trying out many new things and launching many projects all at once. Not that it’s a good thing but I think I should be able to manage them quite well now.

So what am I up to recently?

• My current team is now around 5-10 now (writers and VAs). And I’ve been hiring crazily on and off.
• Creating a software platform to cut down the costs of my article submission process – One of the highest costs projects I’ve ever tried so far.
• And I’ve purchased a high cost software as well.
• What makes it worst is that, during the entire thing, I’m also creating a product in a niche – working on the copywriting myself but getting my superb writer/friend to write the book itself.

I’m disobeying the law of focusing on one project at a time by doing all of these at one go. Let’s see how would this go in the end…

It’s been a while since the movie Inception was released and it was one of my favorite kind of movies in another way. If you have watched, it is about planting ideas into dreams.

To come to think of it, this isn’t a very new concept. As a human being, our brains are very capable of doing many things. And one of the most incredible things is to generate an idea. The only difference in the movie is that the idea seems to be planted into a person’s mind through dreams but in the reality, ideas usually come from a person’s mind.

But here’s the most interesting aspect, do we need to be in a person’s dream before we can inject into a person’s mind?

A few years ago, I’ve attended many seminars like NLP, self help, and many other kinds of motivational seminars. I was quite intrigued in the idea of motivation. But what really interests me is how I got suck into it. What makes me “interested” in it.

If you think that it’s because these people are good at selling and that’s why they can make you interested, you are right in some ways. At least that was what I used to think before I was exposed to NLP. I knew some kind of stuff was involved in the message and how it involves in our brain.

But now, after watching Inception, suddenly I have another theory. It’s about planting ideas into people’s mind.

Now, what are some of the best marketing ideas that have been planted into our mind?

1) Milk is healthy – we need it for calcium and it will help us to prevent osteoporosis. - This is a god damn bullshit. If you do some research, it isn’t really helpful at all. Never mind me if you don’t believe me. But here’s the most important question – where did u get the idea that we must drink milk in order to stay healthy in the first place?

Here’s another thing, why do you not believe me even I told you that’s bullshit?

If you don’t believe me, that’s because I didn’t plant this idea into your mind well enough. If I were to designed an inception into your mind to proof this otherwise, I may need to spend millions of dollars into advertising, hiring celebrities, and most importantly, get the message that “milk sucks” into our textbooks.

You know, even as i stopped drinking milk for quite some time (as I believe milk is really bad), my sub-conscious mind keep telling me “am I missing something by not drinking milk”.

Let’s go something deeper…

How do we plant this idea into someone’s mind?

2) McDonalds – Come & Eat Me!

Isn’t it amazing how they do this? Why do we want to eat McDonalds? Nah, I haven’t analyze this yet. You can think about it yourself.

In fact, inception is everywhere. It’s just whether it’s deliberate or unintentional.

Interested to find out how do you apply inception marketing?

Well, one of the best ways I’ve tested is by firstly,

1) Think of what idea you want to implant into your reader’s head. The idea that you want to implant has to be very specific. For example, it can’t be “I want my readers to buy my book”, this may sound specific, but it’s actually quite vague. You want to break into the different ideas that need to be implanted into the reader’s head before they will eventually buy.

2) Create a plan of implanting the idea subconsciously. And this is the part where it is worth 5 figures. To think of this plan could make you more than $10,000 a month easily.

Have I just implanted an idea into your mind? It’s a weak one but haven’t I just implanted the idea of doing this would make you 5 figures of income easily.

I was just testing how low can you go to hire a writer and post an ad on to some of the classified websites testing out the lowest I can go. It seems that in the lowest I can go is around one dollar fifty cents for a 500 word article.

However, the quality wasn’t what I really expected. Some of the writers gave me rewrites that is plagiarized and it was caught by copyscape. I’m not too angry about it because I was paying too little for the articles.

I was trying to use bulk purchase to bring down the cost for each article but it doesn’t help because the writer are worried about the rate per article.

I didn’t try Indian writers because I have bad experience with them though one of them actually give me one dollar for 300 word rewrite. You probably can test this out and see whether it works for you.

Another thing is when I posted the ad, only four or five bidders actually bidded for the job. When compared to the past, there were around 15 to 20 writers bidding for the job of five dollar per 500 word article.

If you’re wondering why I require these large amount of articles, I’m actually doing massive articles marketing with a number of my websites. And I made both original or and rewritten articles.

The

With a simple twist in some of my sites, I managed to double my leads growth rate from 70-100 per day to 150-200 a day.This isn’t using any of the ad swap method but purely SEO and articles marketing.

Yes, it’s tremendous growth rate. And just to show you my stats for this one day increase of leads.

This is my 2nd autoresponder account if you are wondering why I only have 10k leads. My first is around 10k as well.

When you have so many leads, you are able to create your own traffic at will and when you need to test your salesletter or opt-in, you can easily do so.

I’m aim for 300 leads for the next goal – think going to take some time as I’ve sort of maximize my conversion until the next boost in traffic.

In this post, I’m listing down a list of ad swap scammers.

1) Dan Cook of hypnobodyblast.com – Blasted for him but his excuse was the autoresponder was blacklisted. Then after a few months, nothing was heard from him. Even if you email him, there’s no reply. Beware if he is asking for your ad swap again.

2) Johnny Danielson from web20kingoftraffic.com – No swap from his side too.

3) Nick Philson from thedietultimatum – His swap is a little grey… He did send clicks for some portion of the swap but it was completely 0 lead from the first blast. Then he blasted out a second time onto his aweber list where I gain around 10-20 leads. That’s from a claim of 3000 list. A previous blast statistics from a 2800 list could give me a 180 leads.

Asking him what’s going on and for the statistics, and he disappeared altogether. (edit – he did reply and promise to make it up, but let’s see in the future and it’s been a few months and yet is there a future?)

For future ad swap list, I’ll break down the blast into small list and test the other person out first.

If you have done ad swap with irresponsible marketers, send me a comment and I’ll add on to this list of ad swap scammers. It’ll be at the top of the Google search.

Adding one more scammer – samdelagreat@gmail.com. Sam philip is the name he used. He will just fake the same amount of list with you and ask you to swap with him.

I just gotten a very nice surprise from Adam Short, one of the creators of Niche Profit Classroom. It’s a very warm surprise after being one of his JVs promoting his product months after months since his 2nd launch.

There are a total of 3 gifts here, a mug, a thumb drive and a ball. The mug and the ball all have the logo of NPC. The ball is a stress reliever too – you can throw in the air and it’ll become a black ball when it comes down. I was  trying to figure out what it is and then I realized it by chance. (Don’t think that I’m very free but I was very stress so playing with this gift is like an achievement).

I hope next time there will be a trophy or even a macbook.. haha..

If Adam happens to read this, thank you very much for your gifts and it really comes in very handy (I can shift some of my stuffs to the thumb now, laptop is almost maxed out).

You call it your personal internet assets, personal equity online, or personal branding, but essentially, this is a measure of how much you are worth online. And what you are ultimately worth online equates to how much money you will make whether online or offline.

Recently I read a very interesting book, Crush it!, written by Gary Vaynerchuk where he talks a lot about personal equity, and how one can build alot of money online. Making money online can be nothing new but certainly the part about personal equity, it is something new.

Most online marketers make money by selling digital products, affiliate programs, CPA promotions, but this guy make money by building his personal equity. Most online marketers are underground marketers that may make use of both blackhat or whitehat techniques and if you really know the underground marketer in person, you can’t really find him online.

Most part of my income derive from this as well – search engine optimization, search engine marketing, content publishing etc.

BUT after reading the book I realize that there is a very big advantage by building personal equity rather than being anonymous online.

Think about this, what if Google fails, or they change their algorithms, or your website simply get beaten by your competitors?

I guess a lot of your income will be gone. At least most of mine does…

The difference between Gary and many of internet marketers is Gary put up so much personal content that includes himself and making himself so famous that it is impossible for us not to know him and impossible for him to lose his value.

One look over at winelibrarytv.com and you will find that there is at least 803 episodes of videos created by Gary, and I think there are at least a few hundred thousands of viewers looking at each of these videos.

And this is not just all, he published a book, gain media attention, and created a lot of social equity.

The true strength of everything he created online or offline, they form an extremely powerful network of branding for himself that it is very difficult not to pick up by the media.

The strongest element that put together all of these is it forms a strong and powerful network. Anywhere people go, they see your name, they know you. You become the next highly searched keyword. And once you are the next highly searched keyword, imagine the value of the ads you put on your website.

I’m afraid that most internet marketers failed to do this because most of the content is not published but sold as digital products which doesn’t have the same reach as free but quality content.

I’m guilty of this as well.

From now on, rather being anonymous online, I’m dedicated to build my own social personal equity, no matter how the videos suck (I am really suck when comes to creating video of myself in it). But you get what I mean? Videos, pictures, articles, twitter, facebook etc and etc.

Are you game with me? I’ve just created another new twitter account with my name on it @george_tee so if you are game, follow and me and we can build a social online personal equity together.

After trying one week with usfreeads, I’ve only gotten one result. That it is totally doesn’t worth the effort of doing it.

I’ve posted a total of more than 15 ads in a few days time and the visitors looking at my ads is only less than 20 each. Even my own plr products are not selling well there.

I’m testing out classified ads now.. Just wondering whether www.usfreeads.com is effective in generating traffic and leads. Will keep you updated with these news..
