Hello, and Happy Holidays!

I had the distinct pleasure to spend nearly two hours this week interviewing Willie Crawford about how he has built-up his affiliate marketing revenue stream to the point where it’s exceeding 7-figures annually.

What was most intriguing about this is he’s not really doing anything outrageous or that requires any kind of huge investment.

It’s all explained in this interview we recorded earlier this week:

The interview is available as an MP3 download.

We just got the transcript back and it needs some editing; it’ll be available in a few days.

Then I’ll also be going through the interview and creating a mind map from it and delivering that to everybody as well, along with a list of resources that relate to what Willie
discussed but didn’t explicitly mention.

Hey, there

Sorry I haven’t been sending anything much out lately. Life has been really crazy for me, as it is for many folks today. I hope things are going well for you!

Rumors are that holiday shopping will be down this year, in part because I think people are just burned out on all of the “noise”. It’s also partly because people have downsized their driving habits because of gas prices. Oh, and there’s this “economy thing” going on.

The Good News in all this is: sales of stuff online is expected to hit record levels this holiday season. Bad news for retailers, but good news for you and I!

If you don’t have a site set up to capture sales, put one up today. Stick on some links to Amazon products you like, maybe some links to eBay auctions, and get some traffic.

There are tons of ways to get traffic. One is to put up reviews of things.

Here’s a really great, and inexpensive, Wordpress theme designed specifically to let you set up review sites:

It uses Ajax widgets to create a very “Web 2.0″ish experience for your visitors. Just find things on Amazon
that you’re familiar with, put up an affiliate link and a nice little review, and see what happens.

You’ll need some traffic, and this handy little set of videos offers some great ways to leverage “Web 2.0″ tactics to generate lots of traffic:

I’m going to be promoting more stuff like this over the coming weeks, for two reasons. One is that I’m feeling the economic crunch just like everybody else, and I hope that you find some of these products to be useful in YOUR online efforts.

The second is that most of the programs I’ll be promoting not only pay UNSTANTLY, but they have affiliate programs where YOU can sign up and get paid instantly for YOUR promotional efforts as well.

My cashflow has slowed to a trickle, and I can’t afford to wait until January for affiliate commission payments!

So I figure the best way to make some money is to help YOU make some money — RIGHT NOW.

Got any comments or anything in particular you’d like to see? I’d love to hear about them!

I’ve recently launched a new program I’ve been putting together for over a year. It’s called the “4-Step Wealth Building System”. It’s broken into 4 steps:

• Learn to manage your credit profile
• Expand your income with a home-based business
• Set up a business entity and qualify for credit in the business’ name
• Set up a business in your IRA and grow earnings tax-free

We’re just launching the first two steps now. Go visit my site: Ninja Credit Solutions and you’ll probably learn a few new things you didn’t know about your credit profile. There’s a nice video I made that’s about 40 minutes long, and some additional pages that let you get involved in some way.

Basically, you have the choice of a killer software app that helps you deal with your credit profile; it’s $47.

Next, we have a one-year coaching program. It’s not actually open yet. Rather, we’re enrolling people into another plan and crediting you with the enrollment fees each month towards the coaching program.

This part is about learning how to manage your credit profile.

If you’d like to make some money, then that option is available also. And, as a special bonus, we’ll give anybody who signs up 50 leads to call. These are phone numbers of people who’ve left messages after seeing a sign that says: “Credit Restoration $47 1-800-555-1234″. They’re converting at about 15%-20% (one in every five to seven calls).

Our goal is to ensure that people will have earned MORE within 30 days than it cost them to get started.

Learn to manage your credit profile and make money while you’re at it! What could be better?

Also, when you opt to make some money, we’ll set you up with a clone of the site you see at Ninja Credit Solutions only with YOUR links in it rather than ours.  It’s all included at no extra cost!  All we ask is that you do what the Coach tells you to do.

Are you looking for a way to earn $10,000 or more a month on a consistent basis?

This isn’t a gimmick or some kind of scam. I wouldn’t even say that it’s easy. Well, for some folks it will be. But for others, nope.

There’s a package I recently got to review that talks about how to make $10k in a weekend. Technically, that’s true. If you’re fairly aggressive, you can do that every month. And you can probably even earn more than that.

If you’re a REAL GO-GETTER, like someone who can build a small team and manage several projects at once, you can EASILY make two- to five-times that every month.

There are literally thousands of ways to make money online. One of the most solid business models to ensure a continual monthly income is a subscription based membership website.  This article presents an interesting perspective on how to accomplish that.

In these situations, members pay a monthly fee for access to a private member’s area where they can access your information. You can provide a variety of information in as many formats as you choose. You can offer articles, reports, audios, videos, teleseminars, downloads, software, almost anything you can imagine.

After using Twitter for almost a month now, I think it’s rather interesting and will keep using it. I seem to gain about 10-12 followers a week somehow. I have to admit that I don’t know most of the people following me, which is actually a rather strange experience for me.

For the uninitiated, Twitter is what’s known as a “micro-blogging” platform. It’s like a blog, but you can only post 140 characters at a time. And some of that space is taken up by your own name. You can find out more at http://twitter.com. You can search for me as “thetoolwiz” and follow me. (I don’t post a whole lot.)

If you’re looking for a handy guide to working with twitter, try this: TwitterProfits . In this post I’m reflecting on some of my experience using Twitter for the past month.

I’d like to call everybody’s attention to something that all internet marketers need to be aware of and keep an eye on, whether you’re involved with this particular business or not. The reason is that the CA Attorney General has decided to declare war on companies that sell web sites for money-making purposes and are coupled with monthly maintenance fees, especially when most of the buyers either mis-interpret what’s being sold and/or fail to take the action needed to earn any money from those businesses.

Someone emailed me with a question relating to domain names, and it motivated me to write down something that I’ve had rolling around in my head for a while.

This is just a “theory” I have.  However, it’s totally consistent with everything I’ve learned about SEO and how the SEs work.  I have no solid proof that things work this way, other than tons of empirical evidence that really doesn’t contradict it.

Ok, so here’s the general idea…
