Summary:
A seemingly perfect family moves into a suburban neighborhood, but when it comes to the truth as to why they’re living there, they don’t exactly come clean with their neighbors.

A Bummy Review of The Joneses:

I want to say that this is an absolute must for everyone in our business. Going into the movie, I had no clue what it was actually about since I had “acquired it from a site” only because I saw a few actors I really like… *cough* Demi Moore *cough* Amber Heard *cough* David Duchovny… I meeeean .. Lets move on.  So, the movie is basically about a “family” living the grand life in a wealthy community. The twist is that they are really a group of sales people who pretend to be a family while showing off all their great stuff in order to make their neighbors envious of all the glitz and glam they have. In turn they are selling their neighbors on buying everything from frozen sushi plates to high end cars. It’s incredible to see how they are able to use everyday things and make them seem like must have items. As you can guess, there are obvious problems that lie within a “sale” like this and the movie definitely shows a worst case scenario of what a game like this can cause. I kind of want you to watch the movie, so I won’t go too much into the twist at the end and ruin the movie for those of you who haven’t seen it yet. All-in-all, this is a must see movie for us Affiliate Marketers. The acting was good, the plot kept you interest in the movie, it’s an interesting movie subject to start with, and Amanda Heard does what she does best in all her movies by giving us a few seconds of “fine viewing”.

How it Relates to Affiliate Marketing:

I am not going to be obvious and say “well they are salesmen and that’s what we basically are”. There was actually a more interesting lesson I got from this movie. Demi Moore’s character is the “head” of the family and wants to see more production out of her “husband”, David Duchovny. Before this gig he was a car salesman, so he was basically a direct seller. Now he was selling a life or a lifestyle. He had to reach a whole community which is sort of impossible to do one by one. He needed a new plan of attack, which is something all of us can say we have realized once or twice in our careers. Basically, what he came up with was to stop focusing on selling people and work on forming relationships with people of influence. He targeted a young golf course employee / pro and kind of made him a believer in what he was trying to sell. Now he new that through the day, this employee would talk to more people than he ever could. Plus it was this kids JOB to sell since he worked in the golf course’s Pro Shop. In time when the kid saw how well Mr. Jones was using this club or this putter, he would tell other club members about how it improved Mr. Jones’ performance. Basically he planted seeds with targeted people and had them be an extension of his sale.  It’s a great way to look at referrals and selling. You always want to make friends and you always want to put your best foot forward when meeting new people because they are an extension of your business. You may not sell them on an idea, but they know people and those are the people you can sell without even meeting them. Its the same with websites.  The way you set up a website can effect how your word of mouth goes.  For instance, a Facebook “Like” button is a tool or an extension of your sale.  A person who likes what you have can press a button and now you have been broadcasted to 500 new people.  Its just a thought of mine and something that really stuck out to me while I watched this movie.  So in summation, watch the movie and see how Mr. Jones uses the people around him to do the work for him.  It’s a cool concept and it may open your eyes a little bit.

My Rating:
7.5 (I’m harsh on my scale. anything above a 7 is a must see)

I’ve just blown your mind with inspiration right? No? Well I am going to try a little harder. I was working at a job I didn’t like much and finally got away from it. Now, I find myself in a unique situation where I have a little freedom to take a little time and get things rolling for myself. I have some time, but not a lot of it and need to make sure that I use it wisely. See if I can’t figure out a way to make some money on my own, then I will have to go and find a job that I really don’t like…again lol.

I spent the last week reading and came across a few helpful articles. One article I read in BlackHatWorld.com was extremely helpful to me because it mapped out a plan over the course of 2 months and answered a lot of questions people had about the plan he was attempting ( READ HERE ). He is a guy who already knows what he can do and knows what it would take to achieve his goal. Over the last couple weeks he has answered questions that other forum members asked and has given updates on his results. Seeing his plan got me to think about this whole idea that I have tried to get across to all you readers. This is a guy who is running a side project just to see how it goes. He isn’t doing this to make a living, so I know its not out of desperation. He knows what it takes to get going on the internet on his own. So, over the next few weeks I am going to follow his lead where I actually DO and not just talk. I promise you all that I am going to have a FEW different things going on over the next couple weeks and we are all going to experience them together. Stay Tuned

     Like I said, this is a free pdf. All you have to do is give your name and email address and the site will send you an activation link, then an e-mail with the pdf link. I would just directly link you to the pdf, but He did a lot of work and should get some credit for it. I hope you guys benefit from it like I think I will. I am going to set up some campaigns later today, so watch out for a V-Log later for an update.

     Something I found to work and actually make a little cash with are gateways. For those of you who don’t know what gateways are I’ll tell you. A gateway is basically a form of CPA advertising that floats over website content. In order to view the content on the page, you must fill out a CPA lead. Once this has been completed then the user is allowed to view the content behind the gateway.

     I signed up to CPALead.com a few months ago, but really didn’t mess with it too much. When I did mess with it, I honestly didn’t use it correctly. The funny thing about all that is that I knew how to use it correctly, I just didn’t realize I had the right tools to make it profitable to me. The important thing to remember when you use a gateway type of ad is to put it over content that the users want to see. Quality content is key. I first tried to put it over “sexy” videos, but this turned out to be pointless because you can go anywhere for those kinds of videos. People don’t want to sit there and waste their time by filling out a survey to watch a 2 minute video. When that failed for me I kind of put the gateway thing off to the side and went with other ideas. I totally forgot that I owned a website with original content that got about 500 views a day. I was the only person with this content and If they didn’t fill out my lead then they would not be able to use the content I provide for them. This is a key factor in my recent success. Now I am not telling you that I’m now making good money, but I am telling you that if you have a website with quality content then you might want to check this form of advertising out. I was actually pretty happy with the conversions I have been seeing over the last couple days and am currently looking for more ways to take advantage of this.

     I read some stuff online and they did give a method that kind of ran with this same idea. Personally I am not going to run it myself, but I am going to try to expand on it somehow. Basically you make a WordPress website with the theme of TV shows. You want to find embed codes of television shows that are popular at the current time. Try to send some traffic to it via link exchange, SEO, or paid traffic. Hopefully you can get enough quality traffic that wouldn’t mind filling out CPA leads in order to view different TV shows on your website. Put the gateway over your websites content and hope for the best. Its a fairly simple method and may or may not work. I suggest you get good quality shows and update daily. The more legit it seems then the better conversion you will receive. This form of advertising depends completely on quality content. If you can find a way to get quality contnet then you will make a killing with gateways.

I been up and thinking about why I am still trying so hard to make it big on my own. I have about $100 bucks to my name at the moment and big things look like they are on the horizon. Yea I said big things, but how big? I don’t know to be honest. I personally don’t even know if It will turn into anything big at all. That’s the thing though. I have heard myself say that sort of thing before and then nothing came of it. Things that I thought i planned out perfectly and had all intentions of going through with, but just never had pan out the way I thought they would. So, why is it that I am continuing to do this to myself when I know that in 2 months I will have to find a real job and become a working adult? Well I am a little crazy for one thing. Besides a little bit of lunacy, I think I am conditioned better than others for this type of disappointment. I played baseball for 17 years of my life and if there is anything baseball players are exceptional at is failing. Who do you know is happy with succeeding 30% of the time. We feel one day and we get back up the next and try again. I think that’s why I know I am right for this field of work. Affiliate marketing is exactly like baseball. First of all, it takes a lot of practice and attention to detail to be successful. Secondly, You will never bat 1.000. You will fail a lot trying new stances and new techniques, but when it all comes together you will be able to see the ball coming at you like a huge watermelon. I have failed so fair in my journey to becoming a self made marketing superstar. My coach has sat me on the pine, but I know that my time is better spent thinking about the next adjustment I need to make rather than picking splinters out of my ass and feeling sorry for myself. All it takes is one idea and one solid method to get back into the lineup. Find that grove… get into that zone… and see a watermelon sized wad of cash flying towards your wallet.

I guess the lesson here is to figure out if you can handle the stress and the failure. It can last for a week or years, but you will get to a point where everything comes together and you just click. It’s all green from there baby!!

HAHA Hope you enjoyed… Happy Easter Everyone!

So I wanted to update you all on what i have been up too. I wrote a great E-Book which you can see on this website. I’ll let the video tell you more about it, but I think it can really help you out in your journey with CPA marketing

Yes… I am being serious. This is my Affiliate Movie of the week. I was up at about 4 a.m. this morning and this movie came on showtime. I watched it because I hadn’t seen it in a while and Helen Hunt was strangely attractive as an ex-drunk single mother (don’t ask). As I was sitting in bed fighting off sleep deprivation, I for some reason thought of affiliate marketing and making money in general. It was because of the boys Idea to change the world by doing 3 nice things for three random people then have those people do three nice things for three random people. This trend would go on and on until the world has been changed by good deed, theoretically.

You might be asking where I am going with this or you have already figure it out. The Tier System people. Yep referral programs at their most complex. You refer someone to something and earn a percentage, then the people that person refers earns you a smaller percentage. It works in levels and each level will bring you money at a lower price than the previous. This is kind of cool if you can get it rolling and get people to sign up that are interested in getting other people to sign up as well. It will only work to your advantage if you can get dedicated people to sign up and follow through. So, don’t tell your buddies to sign up and leave it to die. It might be some extra commision for you, but nothing to make a living off of unless you find a quality program and you have a great avenue to get people to sign up. Otherwise you can send your referral link out and just hop it catches on.

In conclusion, you should watch Pay it Forward. its a pretty decent movie and you might even shed a tear at the end. But while you are snuggled up on the couch alone with you ice cream and Victoria Secret magazines (because you like the articles,right?), pay attention to what is going on and you will see that his method can apply to you and your marketing journey.

Here Are Some Sites That Run This System:

• BigCrumbs
• Hits4Pay

Lets Begin…

What is an E-Whore and what does it mean to E-Whore?

• An E-Whore is someone who pretends or gives the notion that they are an attractive woman when they are really a 54 year old male from India (kidding). These people find highly populated places and pretend to be someone they are not in order to convince those users to fill out certain offers which make the E-Whore some money. The act of this is called “E-Whoring”. Most E-Whoring is done with E-Mail/Zip submits and dating site leads because they are easy to convert with horny males.

What are the Pros and Cons of E-Whoring?

• Pros: If your are able to successfully trick a large amount of people a day then you can actually make $100-$200 a day by getting only 50-100 people to complete your lead. You can also set your own schedule and make what you want when you want it.
• Cons: It is considered fraud by companies and advertisers, so IF your are caught then you account with that affiliate company will be terminated. Also… you gotta say some gay stuff to be successful. If you are not very comfortable with yourself then you really need to rethink this whole method. I really have a problem with telling guys how cute they are, which is why I stay away from this method.

NOTE:Please don’t think this is a post encouraging you all to start E-Whoring because its the complete opposite. I am simply writing this to share what I have picked up on my road to success. Since I have no success yet then you know I don’t think very highly of the methods I am covering…. YET.

So who do I think should start to E-Whore?

• I actually have an answer for that. 18+ GIRLS who don’t make any money and sit on the computer all day chatting to random guys who tell them how gorgeous they are. Yep, those girls. I mean they are doing it already, so why not get paid for it. They wont have to pretend to like men and now they can say they are doing it for the money rather than JUST the attention. Difference from an Attention-Whore and an E-Whore is that one gets paid . It is simple to do and I will tell you how…

Step 1: Sign up to an Affiliate Marketing company ( I won’t promote any companies in this post because it’s a black hat method and they frown on that. HINT: Links in sidebar *WOOPS* ). This will take a few days since most have to contact you via phone or instant messenger. You have to get approved so please use your real information.

Step 2: Find a lead or Campaign that you would like to get people to sign up for and that would make you some money. I suggest you use an E-Mail or Zip Code Submit ad because you get money if the people fill out ONLY their E-Mail or Zip Code. It’s easy and they take little time to fill out.

Step 3: Find people. Go anywhere that will allow you to talk to many people at once. Chat rooms, Myspace, Facebook, Stickam, and countless other places. Set up a profile and tell them your AIM SN so they all come to you. Anything that will allow you to reach many people at once is good for this method.

Step 4: Flirt… You need a back story that will give you a real reason for them wanting to fill out your ad. you will start off flirting and gradually move into a story of why you need them to do this for you. One I like is that you are a model and you are sponsored by Sears (I said sears because I know there is an ad out there that has to do with voting for Sears or Lowes and you want to be as specific as possible). Tell them that part of your contract says that you need to do certain promotions and you need 100 people to fill out the ad or you will lose your sponsorship with them. Something like that and you can promise them pictures after they do it, if you haven’t already sent them stuff.

BOOM!! MONEY BABY

PLEASE: If you are serious about Affiliate Marketing LOOK FOR OTHER METHODS AND STAY AWAY FROM E-Whoring

I am a noob for sure, but even I can tell you that this just seems dirty and kind of a crappy way to make a living. For girls doing this for free then I say hey WHY NOT! I am a bum, but even something so simple like this can turn me away.
