So, ever since the episode of the “Amazing Disappearing and Reappearing Myspace Account“, InternetMarketingChick.com’s myspace account has been acting all wonky.

It would sometimes let me message and comment, sometimes not.  Sometimes let me log in, sometimes not (error messages).  Giving me ghost notifications (new message, new comment, etc.)

Weirdest of all, it keeps sending me email notifications (even though I have them turned off!) that my own profile was requesting to be my friend…that I was, in essence, friend requesting myself.

Well,  my experience and the experience of others I have spoken with is that once a myspace account starts freaking out, there’s no real bringing it back.  Therefore, I have deleted it and am going to start from scratch.

I have a new account…however, I can’t tell you where it is yet because every time I try to set the URL, I get the “Sorry, an unexpected error occurred.” 

*sigh*

GOTTA LOVE THAT MYSPACE! :D

Generating long tail keyword domain names just got a helluva lot easier.

Peter Drew has come up with a tool that automates it and it couldn’t be cooler.

Now you might be asking yourself…WHY would I even need longtail keyword domains? Why not just register AllAboutEverything.com and put all my niche blogs in directories? That would save me $8.00 a pop!

Well, consider this…

You will make back that eight bucks many times over by having a tightly focused, niche specific, laser targeted domain name, and Brainstorm Domain Generator makes getting one or one thousand of them an absolute snap.

Here, go ahead and watch it in action…

…and then CLICK HERE and check it out!

Enjoy!

HILARIOUS video from College Humor - what a business meeting would be like if it were run like an internet marketing forum.

I will warn you - there is cussing. Don’t play it if you have delicate sensibilities.

CNN reported yesterday that YouTube plans to roll out semi-unobstrusive overlay ads for the first ten seconds of videos, in the bottom section of videos.

If a user opts to click on the overlay ad, the video they are watching automatically pauses and they are taken to the advertisement.

YouTube has stated that they plan to do a revenue split with the video owners, but they have not said how much the split will be.

THE GOOD - possible revenue stream
THE BAD - probably still pretty obtrusive
THE UGLY - No more streaming youtube videos on myspace, as myspace doesn’t allow videos which incorporate commercial gain for the owner. Revver.com anyone?

Here’s a good traffic tip for getting high PR blog backlinks.

First of all, install the SEO plugin for Firefox. Secondly, do a Google search for your keyword and the word “blog” - the SEO plug-in will show the PageRank of the pages in the search result.

When you click on a result, it will most likely be a blog posting.  As you scroll down to the comments, you should be able to see if the blog uses the “rel=nofollow” tag - the SEO plugin turns nofollow links red.

If the nofollow tag is not in use, read the blog posting and make a thoughtful comment (including, of course, a link back to your site!)

VOILA!

One bonafide, high PR, one-way backlink to your site.

Whether you’ve been posting on Craigslist to enhance your traffic and marketing efforts, or if you’ve even been frequenting internet marketing forums over the past few months, you’ve either experienced this problem or seen others complaining of it.

So what’s going on over at Craigslist? Is Craigslist OVER as a traffic source?

NO! Craigslist is still very much alive. I am still making up to $500 dollars a day on Craigslist.

If you are having trouble posting on Craigslist, you need to keep the following in mind: Craigslist tracks and blocks ads it doesn’t like based on the following factors - email or account, IP, ad copy, links contained in the ad.

Start from scratch, post an ad with a fresh email, fresh IP, fresh ad copy, and fresh link (or no link). Then slowly start posting ads that add back in each of those elements - in that way, you should be able to tell what was blocking you and purge it from your postings.

If you would like further information on making money on Craigslist, I have developed a free eCourse that you can sign up for here - Make Money on Craigslist.

Enjoy!

I had a lovely week in Lake Tahoe and now I’m back and READY TO WORK!

In the spirit of buckling down, then, allow to drop some knowledge on y’all (like how I just went “gangsta marketa” on ya? :D)

Today’s post is about YouTube. Two weeks ago, I spent two solid, focused days uploading videos to YouTube. I have consistently made ten dollars per day from them since then.

That may not sound like a lot, particularly to seasoned marketers that are making SO MUCH MORE than that every day. Believe me, I understand…I make quite a bit more than that every day myself. However, here is what impressed me about my YouTube efforts - it was truly “Set it and Forget it.”

I haven’t done ANYTHING with those videos since I uploaded them.

I haven’t promoted them, I haven’t added friends to the accounts, I haven’t commented anybody, I haven’t gotten backlinks…you get the idea.

And yet I’ve made a consistent ten dollars PER DAY since then ($140 so far), and conceivably will continue to make that for the rest of my life.

That’s a good tip about residual income. Some of you reading this said, “Two whole days’ work for ten dollars? FORGET IT!” But what about now that it’s been two weeks and it’s $140? What about after a year, when it’s $3650? What about after ten years, when I’ve made $36,500? Was the two days of effort worth it then?

Not to mention the fact that, now that I know how to make $10/day with this method, I can easily duplicate and leverage that system to make a few hundred dollars a day with a little time and effort.

Ain’t the internet great?

I honestly think it’s possible that YouTube might be the TRUE “set it and forget it” method that people have been advertising all this time!

Stay tuned for a free mini-course that will outline all my profit-pulling methods for making money from YouTube. People familiar with my Free Craigslist eCourse know that my favorite way of getting information out there is NOT by writing and selling an ebook - although I do that, too. My absolute favorite way is a free eCourse…I LOVE IT!
