Google Adwords has become a completely ridiculous system to deal with.  You might remember that I became the victim of the “Google Slap” last summer.

Well, Google gets so much search volume that I was compelled to give it another try.

This time I started a completely new account, new email, different credit card, different computer… even a different IP to set up the account because I wanted to be able to start from scratch with Google.

I followed their guidelines EXACTLY and got a 7/10 quality score for ALL my ads. Here’s what happened:

As many of you have already figured out, I’ve been out of my office and out of touch for several weeks because of family business.  Now that I’m back, I’ve been completely overwhelmed with advertising and information about a new product that came out over the summer called The Clickbank Code.

So… of course I started checking into it.

I came across a sales letter today that had a lot of sales page errors in it — so I created a video to show you why it’s important to do your research before you buy an internet marketing product from a self-proclaimed “guru.”

In addition, hopefully this sales letter mistakes video will show you what NOT to do when you create your own sales pages!

Let’s face it, sometimes the really important part of a YouTube video that you want to share is somewhere in the middle… And who wants to waste time wading through an entire video to get to the really good stuff?

Well, there’s a really easy way to link directly to the middle of a YouTube Video within your website or blog. Read the rest of this entry

Recently I received this question from the Ask Arvada Question Line:

“How do you make an ebook from your own PC?”

I figured a video was worth a thousand words… so I created the video below to show you how it works step-by-step:

The Steps…

In the video I assumed that you would want to create an ebook that was in PDF format… which I highly recommend. PDF files can be read on any kind of computer, the reader is free and usually already installed on most computers, and it’s a format that most people are used to using.

Here are the steps that I lay out in the video for those who don’t want to actually watch it:

1. Create your ebook in Microsoft Word.
2. Print your document to Cute PDF Writer.  This is the program I use and I love it.
3. Open up Cute PDF and add your links and other enhancements.
4. Save your changes to the PDF file.
5. Open you ebook up in Adobe Reader and make sure it looks the way you want it to.
6. If you want to make changes, go back to Cute PDF and make the changes.
7. Get your ebook out there!

The whole process is surprisingly quick and easy.

If you have a program that you think is better than Cute PDF, please let me know.  I’m always interested in new and better products that make my life easier!

When it comes to product creation, one of the biggest myths is that you have to develop something completely new in order to be successful.

That’s simply not true.

Often the surest strategy for creating a high revenue product is to take a look at other successful products in your industry.
