Internet Marketing with Josh SpauldingMaking Money through Ethical Internet Marketing.

What is the BEST type of IM Product to Sell?

If you know me you know that I’ve released all different types of products over the years. They all had the same goals in mind: To help people as much as possible, while earning me some money in the process. As you can probably imagine, I’ve accumulated alot of knowledge on Internet Marketing products and I would like to share with you some of what I’ve learned.

There are obviously pros and cons to every type of product. But when creating a product you should always have two main things in mind:

1. How can I help the most people in [...] Continue Reading…

The 4 Levels of SEO

If you go into an Internet Marketing forum or read comments on an SEO blog, you’ll notice that with every SEO technique that is discussed you’ll have some people who say “This techniques is awesome… works great!” and others saying “This is a waste of time… doesn’t work!” The reason for this is because too many people assume that every SEO technique is “one-size fits all.” When the truth is, different competition levels require different SEO.

There are 4 different levels of SEO:

Level 1: This is the lowest level. The level where simple on-page edits can improve your rankings. Typically. [...] Continue Reading…

Create a Custom Facebook Page

A little while back I wrote a post explaining how to create a custom landing page on Facebook where you can add a call to action in order to increase the conversion rates of those who “like” your page. However, since the time of that post (which now redirects to this post) Facebook has changed the way this is done.

The following is the NEW way (courtesy of Sean Lowery of minisite design)

Step 1) Create your facebook page (if you haven’t already). If you have an existing page, just make sure you are logged in under an account with [...] Continue Reading…

Info-Product Marketing: Value is NOT always Better

It’s been a long while since I’ve posted anything here and I plan to start writing more frequently now that I have a few big projects done, which has freed up more time.

Today I want to talk about Info-Products. I’ve made quite a bit of money from the many I’ve created over the years… a handful of them you can find at the very bottom of this page under “Some of my stuff.”

If you’ve followed my stuff for very long you’ll notice a trend of short, to the point products. Most have been short PDF’s because I just didn’t [...] Continue Reading…

Big Update on the Future of my Online Presence in the IM Niche

I’ve mentioned a couple times in the past few months that me and a friend of mine started an offline Internet Marketing firm in Indianapolis. For years I had thought about it, but never went through with it because I didn’t want to have to sell or deal with people. Then my buddy knocked some sense into to me telling me he would handle sales and I would handle operations.

Once we got started I quickly realized how much value I have to offer these small businesses! Do you realize how easy it is to get a long-tail, local search [...] Continue Reading…

Make Money Being the Middle Man

For the longest time I constantly thought of myself as either a consumer or a worker. I either bought an item/paid for a service or I created the item/performed the service for the consumer. It never occurred to me that a “middle man” had much value to offer, so I never considered being one.

But as I sat here thinking about how I can write a blog post that will help people, I realized that quote a bit of the money I make in my businesses is made by me being a middle man. The reality is that a “middle [...] Continue Reading…

Google’s “Farmer” Update Confirms my Article Marketing Theories

If this is the first you have heard of the big update Google did to their ranking algorithm the other day then I feel special. That’s because if this is the first you’ve heard of it, I must be the only Internet Marketer you follow. When that many people are talking about it, you know it’s big.

So Google recently make a big change to the algorithm they use to rank websites. This change negatively impacted thousands (probably closer to millions) of websites that Google thinks are “content farms.” A content farm is basically a site full of content that [...] Continue Reading…

How to Make a Custom Facebook Page

I’m sure if you are one of my savvy readers you already knew this, but I rarely see custom facebook pages, so I wanted to share with you exactly how you can create one for yourself, your clients or both.

It’s pretty simple and if you know me, you know I don’t like to make anything more complicated than it is. So follow these five simple steps and you’ll have your very own, custom Facebook page.

1. Go to Facebook’s “Static FBML” app page. Once you have that open click the “Add to my page” link in the left menu under [...] Continue Reading…

Outsourcing = True Growth! The BEST way to do it

One of the things we go over in our new SEO Guide I did with Shaun Connell, is that true, automated growth comes only when you realize that outsourcing is a necessity!

I’ve been outsourcing small things here and there for years, but up until not long ago the only tasks I outsourced were things I couldn’t do myself. I understood the power of outsourcing, but I always figured I would have to find a good worker, which can be difficult in itself, then pay that worker every month for a set number of hours. If that rate is good [...] Continue Reading…

Selling Direct Ads on Your Website – An Underrated Money Maker

When it comes to monetizing a website most people think of Adsense and affiliate marketing. And in some cases one of those two options is the best option. But I would like to share with you another option that I use on most of my content sites along with either Adsense, affiliate marketing or both, which earns me thousands of dollars every year. I’m talking about simple, basic direct advertising.

It’s probably the simplest form of advertising, yet I bet 90% or more of the people who read this article aren’t doing it.

What is it?

It’s pretty simple. You have a [...] Continue Reading…
