Massive Passive Income: What is Autoblogging All About?

Autoblogging is simply a methodology for automating blog content. Traditionally, when you set up a blog you then either create the content by hand yourself, or you hire a freelancer to create the content for you. Either way it is both time consuming or expensive. But with autoblogging and the Massive Passive Profits system, you simply set up the blog once, set up the automated content stream and the blog updates itself on auto-pilot generating passive income for you while you focus on doing other things.

The SEO Business Box has one thing going for it right from the start… its developer is Daniel Tan. Daniel Tan has made his presence felt in the online world quite strongly with his previous products such as the very popular Rank Mover, which was read by more than 2,000 SEO experts worldwide.

So, does the SEO Business Box fit the bill? We took a look at some of the initial user reviews to find out how it scores.

This is an SEO course which doesn’t just think about providing education, but it really delves into the strategies one must use to earn money off the Internet. The set contains instruction guides in a PDF format, screenshots of the processes that are explained, links to various other resources on the Internet most of which are in the form of videos, some legal documents that SEO proponents can use so that they are not caught on the wrong side of the law with their businesses and a lot of bonuses to the readers. People are commenting about the clarity of instructions and the conciseness of the matter. Everything is written in a very no-nonsense manner and in a way that even a rookie web entrepreneur can follow.

The product is based on the blueprint that made Daniel earn a lucrative income of at least $24,800 a month. This is the catchy initial draw for the product, but it doesn’t fall short of its claim once one begins reading the pages. People who have read the product have spoken about how easy the method is and at the same time how it is a genuine way to earn income.

The various inclusions in the SEO course have made things easier for the online marketers of the world. People have commented favorably about the handholding approach of the course, where Daniel Tan even spends time discussing how people should name their products and register their domains in such a way that the search engines lap them up. Apart from a considerable amount of information on how to build and share links, the course also tells people how to use autoresponders to create a better rapport with their online clientele.

The product comes from a veteran Internet marketer with a good track record. People are finding it quite easy to understand and implement the teachings in SEO Course and get all the support from the maker himself when they need it.

So, in all respects, Daniel Tan’s SEO Business Box is finding the best reviews from the online marketing clientele. It is being given out for perhaps the lowest ever price for such a product, at under $100. This is one product that you cannot afford to give a miss.

CB Cash Grenade System is Different

CB Cash Grenade is backwards and unlike any other online marketing system, I’ve ever reviewed!

For instance, when was the last time anyone asked you what you really wanted out of life?

Sales pages may tell you what you need, and they point to the problems you are having and they promise solutions.

But, they rarely ever ask you what you want, out of life.

The products they sell, while they may be helpful at solving problems, they really never give you what is important in terms of the big picture.

Forgive me if I’m sounding too touchy-feely here.

But this “backwards”, CB Cash Grenade System is going to change my life.

Sure, it’s going to make me more money, but after going over the first few videos, I remembered why I got into online marketing in the first place.

And you know what?

It wasn’t just for the Money!

I wanted to do something and create something that I could be proud of.

I was tired of having a boss tell me to “let it go” when I wanted to do it right and not let it go out the door, all half-assed!

I wanted security because I saw people who were really qualified and good at what they did, axed, and downsized because their supervisor needed to lower the overhead.

This is why I got into being an online entrepreneur, and what this course has led me back too.

As I said, “It’s as backwards as anything I’ve ever seen.”

I don’t know how else to describe it.

First, it teaches you how to find your “Freedom Formula” which is a way of figuring out what you really need out of life, to get what you really want.

Then it converts that into a number of visitors you need to get to your sales funnel, based on real statistics to achieve your ultimate goal!

Now, for the first time in your online career you can forget about money, and just know it will be there!

When you do this system, you are free to apply your skill and finesse to the things in your business that are really important to you.

This program gives you tons of options to help you reach your goal.

Some are creative and allow you to play around and be inventive.

Testing and tweaking, tracking your ideas until you’re happy with the results.

Some other methods in this system are brain dead simple like, do-this and get-that.

It teaches you how to trade this-for-that, and-so-on. So if you have a bad day and you don’t feel like Michelangelo you can still keep your business going.

But all of it, together makes a whole system, for a business unlike any other, because like I said, it’s all based on solid statistics that allow you to not worry about the money and just flourish.

The system will put all the money in your account that you need, if you are honest with yourself, when you’re deciding your “Freedom Formula” in the beginning.

And of course, to make it work, you need to follow the rest of the system.
If you want cutting-edge online marketing tactics, this system is stuffed with all sorts of inventive ideas, on ways to spy on your competition, find the right keywords, the right products, and the best ways to offer them to people (that it also shows you how to find).

Do you want to take advantage of all the specificity that Facebook is capable of offering advertisers?

This system will show you how to do demographic research, and find the people most likely to respond to your offers.

So, you won’t waste a cent taking your offer to the wrong parts of the marketplace.

Unlike, other forms of online marketing that rely heavily on driving more and more traffic until your blue in the face, this system has a built-in-system that allows it to grow, all on its own!

You can literally let the system market itself, while you concentrate on using the methods that are detailed in this system, to create a real value that you can be proud of and that customers will cherish and come back for.

There is so much more to this system than I can describe all in one blog post, but I can say, it has changed my life!

I recommend CB Cash Grenade to anyone who wants to take a step in a more positive, productive and profitable direction.

Business is about more than just money, it’s about what you do, to live the life you want.

Oprah doesn’t worry about money anymore.

She does what she wants, what she loves, and what she’s proud of, and that is what CB Cash Grenade offers to you.

A formula to reach your Freedom!

You can even target your competitors name as a keyword, with this program! Republished with author's permission by Judy Doiron http://EarnAtHomeBootcamp.com.

Reviewing the CB CASH GRENADE

While you were doing whatever you were doing, since the last time you read my blog, I was reviewing the most awesome Internet business model that I have ever found! CB Cash Grenade!

I have been working my ass off jumping from Guru to Guru, making a buck here, and making a killing there, then losing my ass for a couple of weeks, trying and failing.

But, then this course comes across my desk!

It’s like back when I was struggling with my weight, finding “Stop The Insanity”, only this is for making me money, and as a bonus, there’s no crazy looking bald woman (Susan Powter) shaking her fist, and yelling!

The very first thing that drew me to this system was how it stopped telling me I could get rich quick, and asked me to assess my life and figure out what I really needed financially, to achieve security and happiness.

Then this system promised me, that it could show me how to achieve that goal.

It’s been a long time since I set goals that way.

Let me show you what that does…

In this online business world, you tend to think that you need to be making a killing all the time, before another Dot-Com bust happens again.

You almost forget the people who are really killing it on a consistent basis are the ones you look up to, and want to emulate, because they have been around for a while.

You start to realize then, that they haven’t been jumping from one half-baked get rich quick scheme to another.

They have just been plugging away, building, and perfecting their system.

The second thing that drew me to this CB Cash Grenade was the way they laid out the system.

I instantly knew it would work, because some of the tactics I had already partially used before.
Only this system put them together into one cohesive plan, and filled in the holes I’d been missing.

Yes, this system taught me some new cutting-edge stuff I hadn’t tried before. But they never showed me anything that I couldn’t fully understand or told me to do something, just on faith in some Guru.

What kind of new cutting-edge stuff?

Well in Module 4, they showed me tons of ways to use and find keyword information
(That I had been paying money to find out), for free and they showed me some information sources that I didn’t even know existed.

This Module really showed me the sweet spot I’ve been looking for, when it comes to deciding whether a keyword is to hot (too much competition) or not worth the effort of pursuing.

Moreover, it gets down to the reality that you need to decide your keywords by first deciding the amount of juice you are able and willing to invest in them.

Not the other way around!

It exposed why so many other keyword-picking strategies work as good as spinning a blindfolded a kid around, with a donkey tail in his hand.

You can’t have someone tell you that you should only go for this or that keyword because that’s only as good as “their system” is good for, and still be a solid business.

You need to be shown how to pick keywords that you’re ready to shoot for and what you need to do before you’re ready to aim higher!

Then also, in module four, they give you insight into how you can spy on the behind scenes advertising budgets of your competition!

You can find out who they are, how much they are spending and what they are spending it on!

This is worth the price of the package, and we are not even a third of the way through!

Module 5, shows you how to find high profiting products.

It’s not the products that cost the most and not always the ones you’d expect!

If you don’t have a good profiting product, then why bother trying to sell it in the first place!

This is what I love about this program, because it’s not set up to sell one product.

It’s set up to sell any product you want, while also giving you the information to pick the best from the litter!

Module 6 shows you how to make better offers by figuring out the deepest desires of your potential customer.

It’s all about understanding demographics!

Demographic research, it is as simple as this!

Dodge Ram makes a damn fine truck, but you’ll never sell it to my grandma!

But, give her a Cadillac to test drive, and you’ll be celebrating one hell of a commission check.

So stop wasting your time and money promoting the right product to the wrong person, when this Module will show you where and how, to find out what kind people are looking for your profitable product, instead of trying to boost my grandma up by the buns, into what she thinks is a red-neck 4X4.

By the end of that Module I knew, what they wanted, I knew where they hung out online, I knew how much money they had to spend, and what kind of jargon they used to speak to people they trusted.

Now, the best way I can describe Module 7 is by quoting a line from the course, which was the most memorable to me. It is explaining the kind of list you’ll be building with this system.

“And you are, going to market to them until they BUY, DIE, or Unsubscribe!”

Rest assured though, using the tactics in this module, the first two are much more likely!

Module 8 shows you how to make one article do as much work for you as ten, maybe even more than that.

So, if you don’t want to write until your fingers fall off, then you might like this module.

Module 9 this gives you the magnetic power to keep people near you on your list.

It shows you why people will actually open your emails by following this system and why they won’t unsubscribe.

Unless you’re a UNIX rebel, tell me, when was the last time you didn’t open an email from Microsoft?

You could be THAT IMPORTANT to your list, whatever the niche!

Module 10, the Video Explosion one, is freaking sweet.

Google anything right now!

(Even, if you need to stop reading my blog!)

What do you see on the front page?

You probably see some heavy hitting sites, that people have invested a fortune on, and taken years building.

Oh yeah, you’ll also see some YouTube video’s that were made last week.

Is it fair that the YouTube video pushed someone off the front page of Google who has spent the last ten years and two life’s worth of savings on SEO, to get on page one?

Stop whining about what’s not fair, and use this module to get your video on page one and a link to your squeeze page just one click away!

It’s easy right now; you just need to know how!

Module 11 shows you exactly what you didn’t know about using the demographic research that you didn’t have, before you watched this system. (Enough Said)

Module 12 I’m going to leave as a surprise to you now because it’s such a big part of this program, I could have written a whole blog post about it, alone.

It’s different from the rest of the system and sort of an inside bonus that you’ll just have to discover for yourself when you get to it. (I don’t recommend skipping to it as soon as you get access.)

Lucky Module 13 showed me a completely new way to target people with paid advertisements using keywords that I’d never thought of, in ways that I’d never dreamed.

It all has to do with your ability to buy advertising that will only show up inside your target audiences Gmail account, and only while they are reading a specific email.

This means you “don’t hardly” spend any money on keywords, but your ad is going to be right there, giving solutions to real people, who are actually reading an email about the problem you can actually solve!

Solving problems is how you make friends for life!

You can even target your competitors name as a keyword, with this program!

So if they think your competitor may have the solution you get a chance to say, “Hold on! Try Me First!” exactly at the moment they are talking about finding a solution, and they are seeking information to take action.

Module 14 teaches you how to buy advertising, without being taken!

It seems absurd that a savvy marketer who sells products for a living needs to learn about advertising methods from reading advertising material on the site selling advertising!

But frankly that’s how most people decide how to spend their advertising dollar!

Sifting through what works and what doesn’t is hard!

This is why so many people just use Google Adwords; they just assume it’s a good deal because the “Advertising” material for Google Adwords is everywhere!

But is it as good as the ads say it is?

Find out if you can do better, using the tactics in Module 14!

The final module ties it all together!

It shows you how you can fill in the holes and get rolling.

This final module proves to newbies and pros alike that there is no excuse for not getting this system to work!

If you came across one module and you found you didn’t have the skills to pull everything off, this module will show you how you can get it done.

Even if you can do everything yourself, this module will lead you in the right direction of having a business that is too big to do it all yourself, while keeping it organized so that you can control every inch of it.

I love the course and hate the name. It’s called CB Cash Grenade, yet it does more than sell ClickBank products, and it does a better job of holding your hand, rather than blowing up in it.

Hey, Jeremy and Simon if you ever read my posts?

Great job on the product!

Now, see if you can’t come up with a more fitting name!

How about… “In-depth, CB Plus Marketing and Building an Online Business that Grows with Minimal or No Effort, in a Sane and Controlled Manner so You Can Get What You Want as an Online Entrepreneur Without Losing Sleep at Night Mega Course” or was that domain name taken?

Come back soon! And leave a comment!

CB Cash Grenade is backwards and unlike any other online marketing system, I’ve ever reviewed! Republished with author's permission by Judy Doiron http://EarnAtHomeBootcamp.com.

Autopilot Income Machines Review

Is Autopilot Income Machines a scam or is it real? Well I decided to get past my normal skepticism and gave it a shot. Rasheed Ali and Huey Lee seem like pretty nice and straight forward guys, but like most people I’ve been fooled before. So I conducted a somewhat biased experiment to see if Autopilot Income Machines could really make me money online, leaving no stone unturned.

Before I get to what I did, let me give you the run down of what’s in the program so you can get a better idea about it. Basically the program is a pretty comprehensive video training course complete with transcripts for those who like to read over watch video. It takes you through the simple technical skills you need to learn (this is very fast by the way) and then shows you how to take what Rasheed and Huey call “money pages” and get them online and ready to make you money.

That’s all great and everything but SO WHAT – right? Not so fast! The Autopilot Income Machines program then shows you some pretty neat and completely safe, free traffic tactics to get you ranked on the first page of freakin’ Google! Okay, that is where I thought they were full of crap, BUT after I saw the evidence I had to basically shut up and do it for myself. The course also goes into some advanced strategies, gives you a free software that sets up some of your pages for you and some other cool stuff that NO sane internet guru gives away for less than $997.

Truth is, I think these guys got knocked in the head in one too many street fights. Oh, forgot to mention that Rasheed is a former homeless guy and Huey grew up in a low income family so they’re a little out of the ordinary if you know what I mean.

Anyway, let’s talk about my devious and biased experiment. You see, the first half of the program wasn’t new to me. I know that stuff already. The second half of the program was what I loved the most… besides the advanced stuff. (WOW!) So I decided that I’d set up my OWN money page and throw a wrench in the program to see what happens. I followed the free traffic strategies to the tee and in 24 hours my new money page was climbing the ranks of Google. I watched in amazement as my page started ranking for keywords and getting traffic and a few sales to boot over the days and weeks that followed!

My conclusion is pretty clear. Autopilot Income Machines isn’t the prettiest or shiniest program out there, BUT what it lacks in guru hype, it makes up for in PURE RESULTS! I absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend you pay close attention to every word Rasheed Ali and Huey Lee say. These guys deliver the goods and truly knocked it out of the park on this one! I give it my full 5 star rating. It’s a no brainer to put this into your money making arsenal. Most guys are just smoke and mirrors, but these guys are the REAL DEAL.

Overall Rating: 5 Stars
Ease of Use: 4.5 Stars
Effectiveness: 5 Stars
Training: 4.5 Stars (you still have to study it)
Support: 5 Stars
Price: $37

Branding Representation

There ought to be a logical look and feel to every page of your site. You want your visitors to understand they haven't actually left your web site when they go to a different page.

How People See You
Icons for going back or to the next page, for printing the page or even the icons that line your menu ought to be all follow the same theme as your web site as part of your marketing endeavor.

Every aspect of your site ought to be about your brand. Standing out from the rest isn't nearly as important as having other people recognize your web site.

If a visitor travels to additional pages and they look different, they might believe they unexpectedly left your web site and then leave it all together.

An easy concept for net market branding is your logo as an icon. You might then utilize this as buttons and every time an individual has to click, your logo makes an imprint. Obviously it will have to be much smaller than the main logo on your page or additional areas to be utilized as a menu icon, perhaps as small as 16 x 16 pixels, but the reduced image will continue your branding throughout your pages and offer a advantage to your network marketing effort.

In addition, with this level of branding throughout your web site there will be no doubt in your visitor's mind where they are. You might even make it so a visitor bookmarking your web site will see the icon in his or her favorites, further imprinting the image.

Remember, returning visitors frequently purchase more than first time visitors and keeping your image in their brains will aid your network marketing efforts.

With a bit of creative thinking, you might make it so prospective customers automatically think of you when they see your logo. This is among the simplest yet most effective branding techniques.

Have you ever considered the significance of color in branding? Color plays a vast role in memory recall. It excites all the senses, instantly conveying a message like no other communication technique.

Selecting the right dominant color for your brand is important. This color ought to appear on all your promotional material. Following is the most common impression each color conveys:

Blue: Cool blue is sensed as trustworthy, dependable, fiscally responsible and secure. Blue is a particularly popular color with financial institutions.

Red: Red sparks off your pituitary gland, increasing your pulse rate and causing you to breathe more rapidly. Count on red to arouse a passionate response.

Green: at large, green connotes health, freshness and serenity. Deeper greens are affiliated with wealth or prestige, while light greens are calming.

Yellow: In every society, yellow is affiliated with the sun. It communicates optimism, light and warmth. Particular shades seem to motivate and stimulate originative thought and energy. The eye sees bright yellows before any other color, making them good for point-of-purchase displays.

Purple: Purple is a color favored by originative types. It evokes mystery, sophistication, spirituality and royalty. Lavender evokes nostalgia and sentimentality.

Pink: Hot pinks express energy, youthfulness, fun and excitement. Dusty pinks seem sentimental. Lighter pinks are more romantic.

Orange: Cheerful orange arouses exuberance, fun and vitality. Orange is deemed gregarious and frequently childlike. Lighter shades appeal to an upscale market. Peach tones work well with health care, restaurants and beauty salons.

Brown: This earthy color transmits simplicity, durability and stability. Particular shades of brown, like terracotta, might convey an upscale look.

Black: Black is sober, bold, powerful and classic. It produces drama and connotes sophistication. Black works well for expensive products, but might also make a product look heavy.

White: White implies simplicity, cleanliness and purity. The human eye views white as a brilliant color, so it at once catches the eye in signage. White is frequently used with infant and health-related products.

Branding-Be Yourself

If your net marketing material provokes an picture in your brain that's simply not you, likely you've been attempting to model your approach after somebody else or you've been utilizing work produced by somebody else without giving them the benefit of knowing you, learning your approach, sharing your thoughts and interjecting your personality into the content.

So, what's the answer?

The answer to this dilemma is to be yourself and let your personality show through in your net marketing content.

If you're writing a blog entry in the midst of a blizzard and it's "a bit nippy outside" don't hesitate to say so. If you let your personality shine your image will be your own, not one you've crafted that will alter daily depending on what you've read most recently.

There's lots of discussion on branding in regard to net marketing. The basics of branding are to determine the picture you wish to portray and what message you wish to drive home.

While a few individuals may write a book on how to brand your business, there are truly only a handful of elements to consider - your image, your intent and your message. The intent of a brand is to craft something that will stick in the minds of individuals and help them to recall your business.

Producing and building a strong brand doesn't have to compromise your personality. The only true decision is whether you wish to be casual or professional. In the world of net marketing, retaining your personality and your individuality will go far in branding your business. You'll be a lot happier with the long-run effects of your net marketing if you don't attempt to be somebody you're not.

Be yourself!!
