If you don’t currently have a hostgator account, now is the time to sign up!

With my coupon code below, you get 25% off!

I have been with hostgator for awhile now, and the support is the greatest out there for a hosting company. In addition, a business account has unlimited domains, bandwidth, space, you name it for under 20 bucks! You really can’t beat that.

Before I give you my coupon code, let me tell you why hostgator is necessary. Any serious affiliate marketer or blogger is going to want to play with various income methods. A lot of the time, this involves setting up niche sites. It can be very costly to setup multiple websites with any other hosting company.

In addition to saving money, the ease of use for many of you will be well worth sign-up. The administration of your hosting account will allow you to install various scripts such as wordpress, oscommerce, drupal, and many others with the click of a button.

Head enough? Ok. I will give you my coupon code now.

Use: BCON25HOST while signing up, and you will get 25% off your already low price!

To go to hostgator, simply click on the banner image, or click on the word hostgator.

I decided to write this today because I was recently ripped off by a client who was also a partner of mine. I am not identifying the client here by name because I have pending legal action against them. But I want to share my experience so that you can avoid having similar issues in the future.

HOW I become a partner

Back in early July of 2011, I was engaged for seo services by someone on Craigslist. I was told that if I was good at seo, then he wanted to hear from me. We proceeded to correspond through email, then setup a phone call.

In the phone call, this co-partner in the company promised me 10% of all future sales when the site became established. I told him that it’s a brand new website, and could take awhile to start selling products, so I would need to be compensated a minimal monthly fee on the front end in the meantime. He agreed.

My mistake was that I never got the agreement in writing. It was 100% verbal. While that is binding in court, the client is now denying that the agreement ever took place. This is not stopping me from suing him for defrauding me out of thousands of dollars in fees that he would have been charged if I wasn’t a “partner”.

HOW I was ripped off

My most recent invoice to the client was ignored on the due date. This wasn’t the first time though. the previous 2 months, the client waiting a week or more each time before he paid the invoice. I started smelling something fishy at that time, because he previously paid on time every invoice.

This time, 2 days after the invoice was due and payable, the client emails me late at night and tells me that he hired 4 more people to take on the seo from here forward. He told me that my services were no longer needed.

When I received this email, needless to say I was surprised that:

1. He no longer needed me. There was no previous discussion that he was considering leaving my services.
2. He made no mention that I was getting any compensation for his cancelling of our agreement.
3. He assumed that because he was no longer using me, that he didn’t have to pay an existing outstanding invoice in the amount of $400. (I would have charged him $1,000 per month for the amount of work rendered if I was not a 10% stake partner in the business).

It’s no surprise to you that I responded to his message and demanded additional information, as well as explaining that his invoice was due and payable. There were 2 issues at stake here.

1. I did not get paid for my current invoice.
2. You can’t just walk away from a partnership without compensating the partner.

The client refused to respond to 2 emails requesting a conversation, and multiple invoice reminders. It was on the 5th day of being late, and 3 days after him breaching our agreement that I decided to send him a final notice to respond or I would have to get my attorney involved.

He finally responded… which I knew he would at that point. He claimed that I was a work-for-hire, and he was not satisfied with my results. Mind you that I not only performed as agreed, but also got him tons of top 10 rankings which he did not have on a brand new website (which I can prove in court), along with many traffic sources and backlinks which are showing up in Google’s index on a daily basis.

Regarding his new “seo resources”, I advised him that they added a reciprocal links page which is now damaging his website. He did not need the reciprocal links, as he has many one-way backlinks and growing, and reciprocal would take away from his PageRank and bleed to whomever he is linking to.

The client now owes me $3,400 which includes the amount I would have charged for my services, plus the existing outstanding invoice. In addition, because he refused to settle, I am pursuing damages and legal fees which will likely go into the 6-digit range…. all because he refused to pay me an exit fee of a minuscule $3,400 fee.

HOW you can avoid being ripped off by a client

When you decide to go in for a percentage, make sure you not only charge a minimal fee monthly to ensure the client is “serious”, but also make sure you get something in writing.

You do NOT need a written contract. You can simply type up the terms of the arrangement in an email, and require him to respond with “agreed” in the body all while leaving the original text in the reply. This will be a serious plus for you when compiling evidence.

If you are like me, and you didn’t get this agreement in writing, then you are still in luck. You can compile all of the “proof” that you not only performed according to their expectations, but beyond by providing evidence that they have the many top 10 rankings, or whatever other work you performed. Make sure you go to court with enough paperwork to make the judge and jury blush. That’s what I;m going to do, and it’s going to be fun…

Let’s get straight to the point. I have been busy writing books, and selling them. My most successful platform for selling ebooks is through Amazon.

My latest project is a book of interviews from the top “work at home” gurus out there, and some of the lesser known ones. Here’s where you come in…

You have a chance to be in my next book!

I am compiling a list of at least 40 people that are successful working at home, with no other job to provide their main source of income. If you are currently working from home and making your entire income this way, then you are someone that I want to talk to.

Your story will be included in a large ebook with some top names in the business. You will receive a link with your interview in the ebook, which will drive traffic your way as well.

Interested? Tell me your basic story in 1,000 words or less via my contact form. If I am interested in hearing more, I will contact you and arrange an interview.

My timeline for completing this book would be one month from now preferably. You will receive a review copy of the book when it’s complete.

Over 1,000 new print magazines are created every year. Out of those, less than 5% actually make it past the first year, and 1% make it beyond that and become successful. All the rest close up shop with a loss.

It takes at least $15,000 to get the first issue out to stands, regionally or nationally. Chances are, you won’t make a profit from that first issue. As a matter of fact, it can take a magazine a year before they turn a profit.

With those statistics, its no wonder why many people choose to publish exclusively online these days. I am one of the people that actually plan on starting a print magazine on marketing. But I am a special case.

What makes emags the way to go?:

• The cost – It’s much cheaper than print magazines.
• The publishing – It’s much easier and faster to publish content.
• The marketing – While I always recommend using paid advertising, it’s really easy to drive tons of traffic to an online magazine.

E-Publishing Makes Sense

I am a believer that print magazines will be around for a long time. An iPad or Kindle is simply no substitute for that glossy paper running through your fingers. But there are many good reasons why you will want to go with a web-based magazine instead.

First off, its much cheaper. Starting an e-mag costs 10 bucks per month for hosting with hostgator, 10 bucks per year for a domain through godaddy, and some of your valuable time spent creating and promoting content.

You can get some pretty good subscription plugins using the wordpress platform, and have a money making magazine fairly quickly.

Print editions have massive costs:

• The content is usually created by employees who have to do lots of research before it reaches newsstands. Employees are expensive.
• The printing costs themselves are pretty much out there…
• Mailing to subscribers is a hefty expense.

E-Mags Are Easy

Consider the fact that I am writing this entire article from my Blackberry as proof that’s its easy to publish content on the web.

With a print magazine, you will spend a lot of time researching content, placing it with graphics and layouts, and trying to get all of the advertisers setup in time for the printing.

With an e-mag, you simply write and publish articles, have contributors looking for exposure help with content, and have an automated advertising system in place like with the oiopublisher plugin for wordpress (which is also standalone for non-wordpress sites).

The Key To Successful E-Magazines

Just like blogs, e-mags require you to choose a niche. With magazines, its actually more important to take this step and drill it down. Consider what you want to write about and stick to it!

Your niche will eventually make your magazine stand out because its going to become the industry mouth for all things relevant in that chosen niche. Its what makes your magazine worth reading. Just because you are drilling down to a niche doesn’t mean it has to grow old and boring. Many topics can be written about within your chosen niche. Everything from industry news, to reviews, to opinions can be written about.

Just last week, my two new themes for Blackberry were published on App World. They are Cemented Pitch for Facebook, and Cemented Pitch for Twitter. These themes were created because I wanted to have Facebook integrated into my home screen of my Blackberry 9800 Torch, because the regular notifications sucked ass. With Cemented Pitch, you have your latest 4 notifications on the home screen, underneath your 6 most important icons.

I created Cemented Pitch for Twitter for those of you that are addicted to Twitter as much as I am Facebook. I also use Twitter, but not daily like I use Facebook. As an internet marketer, both social networks are very important to me.

Both themes are $1.99 a piece, and are that low of a price because I haven’t yet designed custom icons for them. I am doing that now though, and will be upgrading the themes soon. When I upgrade the themes, they will cost more. If you are going to buy it while it is at this low price of $1.99, you will get the FREE UPGRADE when I publish it!

NOTE: The screenshots here don’t do the theme justice at all. The theme is actually a bit lighter, and has a custom background on the home screen, and another on the apps screen.

The bad thing about the regular Facebook and Twitter apps are that they show a notification on top with the logo, but you don’t get to see what the notifications are about.

Cemented Pitch shows you who is sending the message, chat, invite, or whatever right there on your home screen. I hate opening up the apps just to get this basic information!

This integration uses the actual official Facebook and Twitter apps. It just makes them prominent on your Blackberry home screen so you can save yourself some time from having to check who sent what. After-all, we all need to borrow some time back from our Crackberry

As the economy continues to struggle, I see more and more people deciding to work for themselves. Nobody trust’s corporate America anymore, or any corporation for that matter…

If you have been dying to work at home, now’s the perfect time! I have actually created a consultation site in case you need some help!

http://www.homebizconsultant.biz/

Understand that starting your own business is the only true way to control your life, and ensure that your family is taken care of.

We have billions of people on this planet, and each of them are a potential customer for your new business. Knowing this fact, how come major corporations keep laying people off? It just doesn’t make any sense! If these companies are making billions of dollars in sales every year, then why can’t they afford to keep people employed? It’s their greed!

Corporations exist to provide profits to share holders. If the company is not making big profits, then their stocks drop. More and more companies are going overseas or replacing human workers with industrial machines!

Your Job Security

Your job security is actually your own responsibility in the current economy. It’s already been proven over and over that people who work for themselves are much happier, and much wealthier. It’s up to you to stop living paycheck to paycheck only to not have any job security when it’s all over.

Most people that avoid working for themselves simply don’t understand how easy it can be to start a successful business from home. They don’t understand that they actually have talents within themselves that people want and will pay for.

Let’s take me for example. I have been working from home since 2002. I started working for myself without any type of access to a business coach. I struggled for awhile before I reached success. The only reason I struggled was because I had no idea what to do and how to do it. If I did, then I would have reached success within a very short period of time. In that case, I wouldn’t have the knowledge of what works and what doesn’t in order to teach you how to be successful. Now, you don’t have to work hard on things that fail. If you hired me as your business coach then I would tell you what works and what doesn’t. I have a marketable skill.

What’s your skill?

Hard work is never fun. But even worse, it’s never fun to not be able to afford things like vacations.

As someone that wakes up every day and works really hard, I think that the working class are the ones that really deserve a vacation every now and then. So why is it the wealthy people that always end up taking vacations all the time?!

It’s because they can afford it. Not only can they afford it, but they have all the time in the world to do what they want.

• What if you could afford multiple vacations every year?
• What if you made your own hours?
• What if you wanted to buy a new car?
• What if you wanted to buy your dream home?

None of that can be done if you are working a dead-end job!

If you aren’t convinced to work for yourself after that, then you are meant to work hard for someone else the rest of your life. If that isn’t you though, then visit http://www.homebizconsultant.biz/ and get started on the path to happiness!

Personally I feel that the “make money blogging” niche has been written about to death. Frankly, you can only read about existing strategies for so long before you’re like “whatever…”. With that in mind, I am going to keep this blog going as something more. I don’t want to be one of the blogs that continues to write the same old stuff that their fellow bloggers are writing about.

I will still be writing about blogging and making money online, but in a different way. In addition, I will be writing about other issues I see that need to be talked about. An example would be the new iPhone 5 that was left again at a bar, and lost by an Apple employee. Things like this are an issue because it was obviously an intentional marketing ploy. The problem with such marketing ploys is that someone is going to take the bait, sell the iPhone, and get thrown in jail. All of this so Apple can sell more iPhone’s with the added hype.

Marketing is a great thing when used in the hands of companies and individuals with good intentions of making money by providing a quality product or service. When it’s in the hands of evil, it’s …..well …..evil.

I hope you stick around, because this blog is about to get much busier, and a lot more resourceful. My old huge cache of blogging for income articles will continue to be here in the archives, and more may be written as new strategies are developed. My ebooks will also remain available. I will also continue to write marketing newsletters.

Affiliate marketing is a goldmine opportunity, but it’s a tricky business. Those affiliates that setup newsletter campaigns and collect email addresses are small potatoes. The real affiliates are the ones that are making millions upon millions of dollars in the business. How do they do this?

They spend money

Any business can make millions if it has a marketing budget. But affiliate marketers really benefit if they use PPC and CPM campaigns as the tool to achieve that level of success.

My recent activities have me managing Adwords and Facebook campaigns to get millions of dollars in sales for ecommerce websites. Both of these sites I have an ownership stake in that motivates me to do my best.

In the ecommerce business, a successful Adwords or Facebook campaign relies on ones ability to select the appropriate landing pages for the right keywords and the right ads. Take for example an ecommerce site that sells engraved business items like pens or magnets. In this case, a person will want to specify keywords related to a specific product, and send users to the landing page related to that product. That’s how e-commerce websites make their millions. This is called targeted marketing.

In the case of affiliate marketing, the concept is the same. You need to send visitors to the right landing pages. This can be tricky however, if you are using Facebook for advertising.

Facebook hates affiliate marketers

They hate them so much that they do not allow affiliate advertising with squeeze pages. There is a trick to get around that though.

To get around the FB issue, simply create a few facebook ads, then when they go through the approval process, you can see their IP address. You are sending them to a page that you haven’t made available to anyone else.

If you use StatPress or a similar plugin, you can see their IP address. Then you proceed to filter and redirect their IP address to the page you created for them. That’s the page you submitted with your ads.

When the filter works, it shows Facebook IP’s your fake page, but your real visitors will see your squeeze page. That’s how it’s done.

Google is still the boss

Facebook aside, Google will be your biggest traffic source. Utilize their PPC for search, and direct them to your squeeze pages. Make sure you only use relevant keywords, or you can end up wasting hundreds or even thousands on clicks that will never convert to commissions.

Power affiliates start out spending $1,000 per month on PPC ads, and they repurpose their profits towards their PPC costs. The profit will gradually grow, as they make their millions.

It really is that simple. Now get to work!
