1. Answers To Your Questions
===============================================

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

The response was great so I’d rather answer the
most common questions in this newsletter, like I
promised, and talk about traffic next week.

Ok, without further ado, here are the most common
questions…

1. How do I create an ebook? There are tons of
options,and I’m confused.

The simplest way, which is how I do it too, is to
write out everything in Word and then convert it
into pdf.

The ideal solution is to have Adobe Acrobat, but
that one is quite expensive, so you can use the
free software:

and edit your links with

2. Who do I believe in Internet marketing?
Everyone seems to be bending the truth…

Whatever the case might be, you should be
learning from other marketers. There are some
marketers that I follow because I agree with
them on almost everything and there are some
with whom I don’t agree much, but I still follow
because they are successful.

What I mean is, be open minded, and be willing to
learn from other marketers by observing what they
do, even when you don’t agree with all their
methods.

3. How do I find a hot niche?

Here are some resources to find tons of niches:

right click and “save target as”

(hot item report)

http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html

Related keywords for your search term:

4.How do I know my product will sell?

In direct marketing, we know that when an ad runs
over and over it means it’s profitable.

Therefore, when you find a niche with a lot of
advertisers, and high bid prices, then it means
that your target market is spending money.

You can find how many advertisers there are for
your search term, along with their bids here:

5. How do I find the fine balance between a hot
niche and an overcrowded one?

Actually competition should be seeked, not
avoided. You should avoid competition if you
are optimizing for a specific keyword by
selecting lower searched keywords, but when it
comes to picking a market, then there should be
competition.

Otherwise, who are you going to be joint
venturing with, what related affiliate programs
are you going to be promoting etc

6. What’s wrong with Internet marketing?
Giveaways, blogs, tons of information…
What do I do?

Don’t worry about what’s going on with
internet marketing.

It’s a cut throat market with tons of
competition, but you can learn lots of stuff
and apply them in non-internet marketing
niches, and dominate them.
Instead of not doing anything due to
analysis-paralysis, I suggest you start
doing. Learn as you go but take
action.

Here’s an article I wrote about infomation
overload:

7. I bought lots of private label rights’
products. How do I market them?

The biggest mistake I once made was to buy a
product which had master resale rights and try
to sell it at the regular price.
Authors give resale rights to their products so
they can circulate them with their website and
affiliate links in them.

As soon as something is being sold with master
resale rights, it gets devalued because there
are many people who are willing to sell them
for pennies, instead of the regular price.

However, that can be a blessing to you. Make
that work for you.

Here’s an example of what I do with private
label rights.

1. Created a big package that I’m selling at
http://www.yourprivatelabelrights.com

2. Created a viral ebook giveaway package,
which is building my email list virally at:
http://www.plrfortunes.com/

3. Used some of the content, mixed with my
thoughts and views about marketing, to
build a huge internet marketing site at:
http://www.imsuccessguide.com

4. Created and constantly creating viral ebooks,
which I distribute here:
http://www.ebookcashgenerator.com/unannounced-bonuses.htm
(you are free to download them)

and get lots of traffic to my websites and
affiliate links, while building my list at
the same time.

Finally, it’s also the fastest way to create
your own products but you have to mix it with
your own information, and definitely create
different covers than the ones you get, if
you want to create an actual product, instead
of a viral one.
