Hi all,
I know I've posted about Twitter already, but I'm still getting emails from people asking me what it's all about. So this is for all those who want to know more about Twitter...

Getting Your Ad On Ebay For Free - Update
Hi All,
As you might be aware from one of my previous blogs I've been testing something on eBay. It's about getting your ad in front of potential customers for free.
Ebay now has a classified section, and allows you to post information about products and services... for free. You can see one of my ads here
This ad has so far received 57 hits and brought 34 new visitors to my website. I am also promoting this website on Google Adwords at an average CPC of 50 pence, which is about 72 cents. So I've either saved £17 ($25) or I've got £17 worth of prospects for free, whichever way you want to look at it.
This free classified ad has only been running for 20 days, so I would estimate that I should get a total of 85 hits (page views) in a month, which equates to around 50 unique visitors to my website. That's a value of £25 or $36.
I've no doubt I could probably increase the conversion rate by tweaking the ad/sales copy. And there's no limit to how many ads you can have running as long as they are not for the same product or service and are not in the same category.
Now, my testing is far from complete. I currently have 4 free ads running and I intend to put up many more. I just know this is going to be explosive, and why shouldn't it be? There's 212 million members on ebay!
Keep you posted!

Social Network Marketing – It's All About Twitter!
Turn on your computer, switch on your TV or talk to anyone, anywhere and everyone seems to be talking about Twitter. And in case you didn't know already, Twitter is the fastest growing social networking website on the Internet. And why is this?
Well, there are many reasons and here a just a few…
1. It's easy to join and it's very easy to use. Even the most computer illiterate or PC handicapped amongst us can figure out how to use it. You just join up and follow people, who in turn will generally follow you.
2. It's very convenient. You just login and tell everyone what you're doing. Then you can strike up a conversation with someone who might be living in your town or anywhere in the world.
3. You can use it to meet like-minded people and make new friends. You can contact people who might be interested in exactly the same things you are, which could be music, gaming, gardening, selling on ebay, collecting antiques… or anything.
4. If you are a musician you can use Twitter to promote your music and ask people for reviews. If you are a writer or an artist you can also share your work with others and get their opinions.
5. But, the most interesting use of Twitter in recent months is for marketing purposes. Where there's a crowd, there are possible leads, prospects, future clients and customers.
Internet marketers of all experience levels are flocking to join Twitter in order to sell their wares. But, beware… Twitter is NOT an open marketplace. Blatant upfront marketing will only get you banned from the site.
However, there is a subtle way to build a list of prospects on Twitter and a massive list at that. What's more, it's possible to build a list of thousands of followers within a few short days and at absolutely no cost whatsoever.
But, this is not how you would go about building a list say with Google Adwords or any other list building method for that matter. Building a list on a social network site is different, very different.
This is taking marketing to a whole new level, a higher level, a more respectable level, and a more acceptable level. And it could also prove to be a much more profitable level too. This is "Social Network Marketing".
By that I mean it's like selling to friends and family. This is about building credibility, trustworthiness, honesty and integrity first. Then offering your product or service, second. It's like acting out the sales pitch of your sales letter, only your sales letter now becomes your script.
Successful Social Network Marketing is all about making friends then selling something your friends might want or need. Only it never actually appears to be "selling". For many marketers this is going to be a whole new learning curve.
If you're completely new to Social Network Marketing, you'll need this secret weapon.
One thing is for sure, Twitter is here to stay and Social Network Marketing is just emerging as the new online sales technique that every Internet marketer will have to master.
So… What are you doing?
All for now.

How To Build A Massive List On Twitter Super Fast!
Hi all,
Unless you've been living on a different planet you'll know that Twitter, the social networking website, has gone absolutely ballistic.
Now Twitter is a great place to meet new people, share ideas, keep up to date with current affairs and breaking news and even share in some much-needed humor. But...
There's a much more serious side to Twittering and Tweeting, and that's business building or to be more accurate... list building.
Now there's a number of reasons why you should join Twitter and get thousands of people to follow you, but if you want to build a list super fast, and for FREE, then Twitter is the perfect place for you.
Even if you are not a business owner or marketer, you must have something that you would like to share with others. It could be that you are a musician and would like to share your music or maybe you like playing games on your Xbox, PS3 or Wii and want to meet some real competition.
Or... you might like to hook with people who have similar interests, hobbies and experiences.
Whatever... you'll definitely find many like-minded people on Twitter.
Want to build a big list and get people into YOUR network. How about 1000 in a week?
Yes, it can be done if you have the TWITTER TRICK.
What's the TWITTER TRICK?
Take a look... Click here
Internet marketers have been quick to seize on the opportunity of building a big list for free, and many are successfully offloading their products on Twitter... and making a small fortune in the process.
But it's not all about direct selling, it's much more subtle than that. And, if you get it wrong, you could end up as a dead duck..."quack!".
Rest assured, TWITTER TRICK reveals everything you need to know.
If you're not involved with Twitter then you could be missing out BIG time.
But it's not too late.
Whether you're new to Twitter or you're a tough old "bird" that's been goose-stepping the boards for years, here's one sure way to feather your nest.
Go get the TWITTER TRICK package and discover a whole new opportunity just waiting to be exploited. Click here.
All for now,

Too Good To Be True?
Hi all,
A few hours after posting my last blog I received some emails about the free website I am giving away. The main question being asked was "Is this really free?"
Well yes, of course it is... but I didn't say that the "My Internet Business" opportunity was free. It's not! You have to join at one of the 4 levels.
MIB is a business... like a franchise is a business. Tell me where you can get a free franchise.
So let's get it all cleared up. You sign up to join the MIB network and you promote it, and the products.
To help you build a list of prospects and to help you promote your MIB business I will give you a personalised website. That means you get a landing page with an autoresponder, 6 follow-up emails loaded into the autoresponder, 2 Internet marketing books, a link to your own contact form, a domain name of your choice and 12 months hosting for your website.
Your website will have YOUR domain name at the top.
It will have a line above the salutation which reads: "From the desk of: YOUR NAME.
The follow-up emails will appear to come from YOU.
You can have YOUR signature on the website and even YOUR photo if you want. Just send them to me.
Everything about YOUR website will appear to be about YOU.
When you join the MIB network at any of the 4 levels you will be given a username and password so you can access all the MIB marketing materials, and a certain number of products depending on your entry level.
You will get a link to your own MIB invitation page. Now this is the link that I will put on your free website, so you can send people to your own sign-up page and make huge commissions.
What I am doing is giving you a helping hand to get your MIB business rolling.
Everything I will give you is valued at over $1,000... I know it's hard to believe but it's absolutely true.
How can I afford to do this?
I own Anglox Publications Ltd, which is a collective of freelance talent including, writers, web designers and graphic designers. Our business is about building Internet ready websites, and of course we have web hosting facilities, and we maintain websites.
I can afford to give you a website for free because... I'm the boss!
And it doesn't stop there...
After you join the MIB network I will help you to get traffic to your website by giving you some really valuable information about where and how to advertise your business for free.
For as long as you remain my colleague in the MIB network I will be there helping you all along the way. You will also have access to my personal email and telephone number.
So, if you want to get started, go and sign up now by clicking here.
Here is a sample of the website again, and this is what YOU will personally get from me as my way of saying thank you for joining my network. Click here.
I hope that makes it all clear, but if there's anything else you're not sure about just drop me an email at: billknight@ymail.com
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Bill

Extra Help & Support For All New MIB Colleagues
Hi All,
For almost 6 months now I've been making some serious money from the My Internet Business opportunity (MIB). But there are others who are making more than twice and even three or four times as much as me.
One of my marketing colleagues in Birmingham, UK is currently making between $10,000 and $20,000 a week!
Now that's truly incredible.
One of the questions I get asked by many people who are interested in joining the MIB network is... do I need a website?
Well, the short answer is no.
When you sign up to join MIB you get a cloned version of the main website and all you have to do is promote your link. You just get people to visit the website, see the opportunity, and the videos and sales copy will do the rest.
There are several ways that you can get traffic to your MIB website, some are paid and some are free and to be honest, they are both just as effective.
I have many ways that you can use to get traffic to your site... all for free.
What's more... anyone who joins me from my invitation page, (special-invitation) will get unlimited help, advice and support from me for as long as they need it.
And that's on top of all the in-house training you will also get.
And there's more...
Now, although you don't actually need a website to promote the MIB opportunity, it's a good idea to have one, so you can stand out from the crowd. So, I've put together a very special FREE service for anyone who signs up from my invitation page, which will help to propel them to success even faster.
If you sign up at either the bronze, silver, gold or platinum levels, I will give you your very own website. No other MIB marketer does this, but I want to prove to you right up front that I will do all I can to help you make money.
Here's what you'll get...
*** A professionally designed web page template with sales copy and java script date-reader, so your site always looks fresh and new... value $250
*** A GetResponse autoresponder and 2 Internet marketing books so you can capture names and emails of your prospects and build your list... value $250
*** Six follow-up emails, written by me and loaded into the autoresponder. They will be set to go out to your prospects every 3 days. That's 6 more chances to convert prospects to buyers... value $300
*** A disclaimer page and an email contact form linked to your main landing page, to help build credibility and trust between you and your prospects... value $100
*** Your own .com or .co.uk domain name, a redirect email account and a 12 month website hosting account together with ftp access so you add to, or change anything on your website... value $100
Your website will be personalized and customised just for you.
You will have your domain name at the top of the page...
From the desk of: Your Name...
Your signature can be placed at the bottom (Just send us a scan of your written signature and we'll put it on the page for you).
And your domain or business name copyright notice at the end of the page.
If you would prefer to create your own headline and copy, then we'll put that in for you too.
Just take a look at what you'll get...
Click this link: free-website
That's over $1,000 of products and services I am willing to give you just for signing up at any level... bronze, silver, gold or platinum.
Think all that might get you off to a flying start?
You bet it will!
And don't forget...
That's just the beginning. You will have access to a special email address I have set up just for my MIB colleagues. I'm prepared to help and mentor you all the way to success.
Is anyone else prepared to give you so much?
I'm a professional copywriter and Internet marketer and if you want to make money online, I can help you.

Free Ads on eBay?
Hi all,
Following on from my last posting about Martin and his ebook, I've just found out that his ebook was about plumbing and electrical wiring.
His book explains in easy steps how to go about doing your own plumbing jobs around the home. It covers everything from fitting a new bathroom suite to installing an outside tap.
The electrical wiring section covers everything about rewiring your complete house including, adding more sockets and light fittings and even extending the electrical supply into the garden.
Now, listen up guys because there are certain things you can advertise for free on... eBay.
Martin's book is one of them! And there could be thousands of other products out there that also quailfy including... Business Opportunities.
Here's how you get a free ad on eBay...
Obviously you need to have an eBay account so if you don't yet have one go and open one.
Then, go into your account and select Sell>Sell an item.
Put in your 3-5 word description and then on the next page look at the category list.
Browse categories and select Local Services.
You will then be presented with a whole list of sub categories that you can advertise in for FREE.
Once you've selected your final category, click on the Continue button.
Now you can put in the information about your listing. The title is very important so make sure it is relevant to your product or service, and contains those all-important keywords i.e., plumbing.
You can add one photo for free and if you don't add anything else your whole ad will be free. Of course you can spruce it up if you want to by adding a background, sub title, emboldened title etc, etc.
Now, for those with no experience of html you can just type in your sales letter/pitch and place a link direct to your blog or website.
If you know how to use a WYSIWYG html editor like MS Frontpage for example and you can host images on a web server, then knock yourself out!
Create your listing as a web page then cut and paste the html directly into the eBay html section of your listing.
Remember to cut and paste only the section between the body tags.
Now, the important points to remember here are...
The ad is free and will be displayed for 28 days.
You can have a link to your blog or website so long as there is further information about the product or service you are promoting.
You can also have a link to an email client like a contact form.
You can use some javascript, but check what is allowed.
You can place unlimited images on your posting, if you use html and host the images elsewhere.
These classified ads come under the category of Local Services so if you want to promote to a wider audience, just say in your description that you also provide your products/services nationally or internationally.
As with everything else about ebay, play by the rules. Be upfront and honest in your description and try to build credibility by including some information about yourself.
Here are a couple of examples of what you can do...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=110347167214
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=110348385375
Okay... now go get busy!
And... if you didn't already know about this then don't forget you found out about it right here.
Till next time,
Regards,
Bill

Create your listing as a web page then cut and paste the html directly into the eBay html section of your listing.
Remember to cut and paste only the section between the body tags.
Now, the important points to remember here are...
The ad is free and will be displayed for 28 days.
You can have a link to your blog or website so long as there is further information about the product or service you are promoting.
You can also have a link to an email client like a contact form.
You can use some javascript, but check what is allowed.
You can place unlimited images on your posting, if you use html and host the images elsewhere.
These classified ads come under the category of Local Services so if you want to promote to a wider audience, just say in your description that you also provide your products/services nationally or internationally.
As with everything else about ebay, play by the rules. Be upfront and honest in your description and try to build credibility by including some information about yourself.
Here are a couple of examples of what you can do...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=110348385375
Okay... now go get busy!
And... if you didn't already know about this then don't forget you found out about it right here.
Till next time,
Regards,

How to Sell Your Products Without a Website
Hi all,
Recently one of my MoneyHarvest members emailed me and said...
"Bill, I'm new to all this Internet marketing stuff, but I want to get started in the business as I have my own ebook I want to promote. Problem is I don't have a website and I don't know the first thing about building websites or web hosting . What do you suggest?"
Well here's what I said...
"Martin (real name), you don't need a website to promote your ebook, but you do need somewhere to put your sales pitch. So, set up a blog. It's free and it's very easy to promote a blog. I would recommend either or both, Wordpress and Blogger"
He then gets back to me later that same day and says...
"Okay thanks for that. But, what about advertising? How and where do I advertise my blog? And how would I be able to take payments for my book sales without a website?"
So here's what I told him...
"If you're on a low budget, you can get some free traffic by writing and submitting some interesting articles to the article directories. Ezine Articles and Article City for example. You can put out a free press release and you could get more free traffic by joining some social networking sites and spreading the word about your book. Also, if you're able to create a video you can post it on YouTube"
I mentioned how important it was when using these free advertising avenues, NOT to make your Press release or article look or sound like an ad.
I then went on to tell him about Google's pay per click, placing paid ads in newsletters etc, etc.
So now Martin was all ready to start his marketing campaign.
Next, I told him how to accept payments without a website. He didn't have a PayPal account so that was the first thing he needed to set up so he could take payments by credit card.
I suggested he opened a free email account just for the purpose of selling his book. It didn't really matter whether it was a Yahoo account or a Hotmail account or any other free account, but what it must have is an auto reply or a vacation response feature.
I told him to write a message for the auto reply saying something like...
"Thank you for your order. Your custom is very much appreciated. You will receive a PayPal money request within the next 24 hours. As soon as payment receipt has been confirmed I will personally email you a copy of my book" etc, etc.
Now he needed to put a message with this email address on his blog. I said the message should read something like...
"To order a copy of my book, please send an email to booktitle@yahoo.com
and put ORDER in the subject line. Please note I process all orders personally so please be patient. You will receive a money request from PayPal, my payment processor within 24 hours of receiving your order".
So... he would have to manually process his orders but it wasn't going to cost him anything to set it all up. Of course he could have used a free website and put a PayPal button on it but he didn't have the experience, so this was a better way to start.
Now... All you MoneyHarvest members who are just starting out... there is no excuse. Get your business started and you'll begin to learn everything else as you go along. That's how everyone does it.
Till next time.

Bill
