			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to marketing online you need to test and test. You have to test repeatedly. Sometimes you do not know what to test. How can you find out what to test without knowing. Well that is the hardest part, you have to test everything! To make my life a little easier I use a web analytic system that is a must to have when doing anytime of marketing analysis.</p>
<p>I use <a href="http://suggests.me/clicktale">Clicktale</a>. Clicktale allows you to see every mouse movement and every click in action. It is just like having a Hulu vision of your traffic. Watching your traffic and how they react to multiple aspects of your website or landing page. It is like being on the other side of a double sided mirror and just watching your traffic do what they do naturally.</p>
<p>The best part is you get to analyze the traffic in real time and see how they react. What are they reacting to, why are they rapidly leaving, why are they on the page so long, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ianfernando.com/suggests/clicktale"><img class="size-full wp-image-1406 aligncenter" title="refill-report" src="http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/refill-report.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2009 is ending and I am trying to figure out where I want to hangout for 2010. &#8230;. anyways &#8230;. while in 2009 I have came across a multitude of desktop applications and web services which have helped me with my business.</p>
<p>The goal for me in 2010 is to be better organized and to be more productive. Living and working out of my house does get me unfocused most of the time and I need to stop this. I have found some things to work for me and it def has helped. So lets get started, I will start with Desktop applications and web services.</p>
<p><strong>Desktop Applications</strong></p>
<p><a href="/if/index.php?url=http://www.doominow.com/"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-1370 alignleft" title="doomi" src="http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/doomi.jpg" alt="" /></strong></a><a href="/if/index.php?url=http://www.doominow.com/">Doomi</a> is an Adobe Air application which is really good cause it post up your to do list. Which you can check off and add new ones on the spot. I use this all the time if something comes to mind which I need to do I just type it up in Doomi. Once I have completed it I just simply check it off and its done.</p>
<p>The feeling of just completing a task keep you motivated to get everything else done on your list.</p>
<p><a href="/if/index.php?url=http://www.mindomo.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1373 alignleft" title="mindomo" src="http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/mindomo.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="/if/index.php?url=http://www.mindomo.com/">Mindomo</a> is another great adobe air application because it lets you create mind maps. If you have an idea for a project, you want to brainstorm about it and make sure you have it planned out right to the minor details.</p>
<p>It allows you to let you think vividly because you see all the other aspects of your idea on the table. The mind map also helps me with my campaigns or my to do list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Late last night and early this morning I experienced the worst of my days. My landing pages, tracking, websites, blogs, apps, were all down. My whole server seemed it was attacked, found out this morning. Late last night one of my  sites stopped loading, then another site, and then another site, and another. I was like who the fudger.</p>
<p>I submitted a ticket to my hosting and they quickly resolved it, temporarily. This morning my sites were going in and out every 30 minutes. This was good. I was up till 3am trying to figure out what was wrong with my hosting and we finally fixed the issue today at around 2pm. Close to 12 hours!</p>
<p>It is a good thing I have a set of tools to help me and good support form my hosting to help me resolve this issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This time of year many online users are searching the internet to find the best deals and best discounts. Yesterday was &#8216;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_monday" target="_blank">Cyber Monday</a>&#8216; one of the biggest and busiest time on the internet right after Black Friday. Since many users work, they go to their jobs on Monday and start surfing the internet to find special deals.</p>
<p>Well, this is such a great source of traffic that you can easily take and leverage this to your opportunity. Everyone is in a mood to save and finding savings is the main goals when it comes to shopping online. They personally know that there is a lot of savings to be made online. So they scour the internet to find it.</p>
<p>
I bet when you shop online, you search Google for a coupon. So you can see a coupon does have power in itself already.</p>
<p>So why not us a coupon cut out lander?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1346 aligncenter" title="Coupon" src="http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Coupon.jpg" alt="Coupon" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To continue with the Member script battle, we are going to talk about <a href="/suggests/amember">aMember</a>. The other day I talked about <a href="/2009/membership-script-battle-round-1-wishlist-member/">Wishlist Member</a>&#8230; so today is round 2 with aMember.</p>
<p>I was thinking about aMember in the beginning when I wanted to start a small membership site. But I heard there were issues with getting use to it and having things work properly with it. But again it is also one of the most recommended membership scripts out there.</p>
<p>It was not till some of my marketing friends started making membership sites and they were using aMember. I ask them what they thought and they gave me their inputs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/suggests/amember"><img class="size-full wp-image-1328 aligncenter" title="amember" src="http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/amember.jpg" alt="amember" /></a></p>
<p>After a good week of asking around I decided to purchase a license and install it and test it. At first it was time consuming trying to get use to the interface and its settings but after that it was fairly easy. Then came the plugins and versatility that I needed for my site&#8230;</p>
<p>The installation of aMember was very simple and very straight forward. I didnt have any issues installing it at all. Once in then you get to play around with the interface and settings. I have messed up a couple things in the beginning but I finally got use to the interface and use to what it can do.</p>
<p>At first it was working great and I enjoyed it, but then when certain things came up like how would I integrate it with my affiliate program, how does it handle with <a href="http://www.ianfernando.com/suggests/aweber"  class="alinks_links" onMouseover="window.status='http://www.ianfernando.com/suggest/'; return true" onMouseout="window.status=''" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  rel="external">aweber</a>, how does it remove canceled users etc. So these things I spent several good days researching Google and the <a href="/suggests/amember">aMember forum</a>.</p>
<p>Good thing about their community and their staff is they are all helpful and I get a response usually within a couple of hours. It did take some several customization with my programmer to get some things working the way I wanted.</p>
<p>One good thing it gives me is the access logs and who have logged in and what pages they went to etc. Which I think is really good to help troubleshoot if any issues arise. The main dashboard is very informative and gives you a lot of information right away.</p>
<p>Another good thing about <a href="/suggests/amember">amember </a>is the fact they have a ton of plugins free and paid. I have bought several plugins to seamlessly integrate a forum, some reporting, and soon I will be purchasing some other plugins to help with the selling of my membership site.</p>
<p>One thing I did not like was the fact that if you add someone for free it calculates it as an income, which I think it shouldn&#8217;t. The only way to avoid this I think is to personally create the same product BUT without a price. This way it does not get calculated with the income reports.</p>
<p>&#8230;speaking of reports. Amember has a very basic reporting system and I think can be improved. They have very basic reports but one report stick outs, demographics. This can easily show you who your demographics are overall. Helping you who to target online.</p>
<p>I know some users have requested a more versatile reporting and more options than protection. But there are a lot of plugins for amember but sometimes you may have to create your own to get what you want.</p>
<p>.. Check out <a href="/suggests/amember">aMember</a> and let me know what you think. In a couple days a total wrap up will be discussed. Maybe a video?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I have my own membership site, <a href="http://twitsniper.com/official">it is an actual service</a>. I have bought 2 types of membership scripts because I have 2 types of membership styles. One is where I have all my digital products in one location and where users can download them. Another is a service with scripts and functions.</p>
<p>In the beginning I wanted to use strictly Wordpress as my membership script since there is already a login area for it. I figured it was the best bet for my membership site. Then another idea came and wishlist could not do what I need it to do, so I bought another script. Well I think I got a good comparison with both scripts &#8211; because I think both scripts accomplish what I needed it to do!</p>
<p>So here is a nice write up of the comparisons of both script, <a href="/suggests/wishlistmember">Wishlist Member</a> vs <a href="/suggests/amember">aMember</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/suggests/wishlistmember"><img class="size-full wp-image-1317 aligncenter" title="3611978911_0f33230e69" src="http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3611978911_0f33230e69.jpg" alt="3611978911_0f33230e69" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In affiliate marketing there are a lot of things to factor in. One is having a really good landing page. Sometimes it is super hard to come up what landing pages to create. Also there are multiple styles out there that is hard to create. Maybe you do not know or have a clue what HTML is or even know how to program.</p>
<p>That problem is solved. There is a service out there that helps affiliates do just this without having any knowledge of HTML or even know a piece of code. Also this is fast for the experience affiliate. The reason because is you simply just point, click, save, download! That is it.</p>
<p>I know this may sound too simple but it literally is. I have been using it because Auto LP uses popular affiliate landing pages out there that works! They make the design, upload it to their system, and then let you customize the content! That is it. Once you are done with it, you simply download a zip file with all the graphics, headers, content, etc</p>
<p>Once you have it you just upload it to your hosting and you are done!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ekey.us/b4Dm8"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1235" title="auto landing page" src="http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/autolp.jpg" alt="auto landing page" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://ekey.us/b4Dm8">Jeremiah</a> is the creator of this system and I met him in Orlando when he was just getting into affiliate marketing. Now he has came out with a system which is essential, I think to any beginner affiliate that does not know how to create a profitable landing page. The big advantage with AutoLP is the fact that every month they will have a substantial amount of LPs that will be easily customized by you!</p>
<p>Currently they have just a couple LP BUT are popular ones, such as the article style landing page or even the blog styles which is making affiliates a ton of money right now. These guys have it and all you do is edit the images and content and it is all yours!</p>
<p>The easiest thing you do is chose your style of landing page, give it a name and start editing the content. You chose sections of the LP from a drop down and start editing the images, content, links, etc.</p>
<p>Another nice aspect of this tool is it helps monetize your traffic by providing you with an exit script. Which almost every advertiser is using to monetize exit traffic. So why shouldn&#8217;t you monetize it as well. <a href="http://ekey.us/b4Dm8">Auto Landing Page </a>does this for you and once you generate and download you get the code!</p>
<p>It is almost like creating a campaign, because you create the name of the LP and use the design and then you create your content. You can add on any custom scripts they have and press download and boom you got a new LP in 10 minutes. Simple and Easy.</p>
<p>Every month new themes will be added in which you can customize and create to your advantage. Again it is like having access to the most popular most succesful landing pages out there with just your own content. I would just grab it because they have the <a href="http://ekey.us/b4Dm8">Article and Blog style landing pages</a> which are crazy converting right now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Guest Post By: Karen Noonan</em></p>
<p>We are all currently being overwhelmed by talk of the economic recession. Sure, it’s a bad situation out there and doing the whole “woe is me” thing with your friends, family, and neighbors is as common as taking out the trash these days. But, throwing an economic pity party isn’t doing you or your wallet any good. If you spent that time and energy focused on your earning potential you’d have much less to complain about.</p>
<p>What do I mean? Well, as an affiliate manager for the RevResponse program, I have clear vision into what is working for affiliates and what is keeping them from earning. And, with that vision I can see that with just a little effort many web publishers could be sitting pretty during this economic downturn. Keep reading to find out how…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you do affiliate marketing or any type of marketing online you need targeted keywords. This is crucial because if you just put your website out on the internet, how can users find you? The internet revolves around search engines, meaning we type in a phrase or keyword to find our content. This basically finds us the sites we want to go to.</p>
<p>Now, sometimes there are keywords that are so targeted but it is so general. When users talk about keyword research they throw in a general keyword in the Google Keyword Tool and use what they suggests. Now, google&#8217;s tool is very helpful and does give you synonyms of keywords and keywords that relate to it. But what if we can find very general keywords that are out of the regular norm?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A while ago Jani and I have released a new info product to the twittersphere. It was a successful launch. I also recently released <a href="http://twittersnipe.com">Twitter Snipe</a> as well. So I decided to go ahead and talk maybe how to do a product launch via <strong>just social traffic</strong>. Now it may not be one of those John Reese 1 million dollar profit in a couple hours but we are getting close to it. <img src='http://www.ianfernando.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So anyways this post will be brief and talk about some basics stuff to a pre launch of a product or web service or even a new blog. Most of the traffic either came from a list that we have built or virally spreading the hype. There are certain aspects I guess when it comes to pre launching a product.</p>
<p>Below is a screenshot of my inbox of the sales of <a href="http://twittertrafficexposed.com">Twitter Traffic Exposed</a>.</p>
