Product Name Instant Profit Machine
Creator/Owner Shelly Ryan

Claim

It's Easy To Make Money Everyday From Home With This Software...Even If You're Starting From Scratch With Zero Knowledge, Experience Or Budget! I'll Show You Exactly How.

Review

Initial look of this product was good. Everything presented in logical order and with clear instructions. Shelly has done an excellent job of the actual package.The main program – the instant profit machine - downloaded and installed in a few minutes. Both written and video instructions are included and the program worked perfectly.

Shelly claims you can be up and running 30 minutes but I'm sure that doesn't include reading the instructions! I had the whole thing up in about 2 hours.You need to sign up to a couple of programs but that is completely free and the work Shelly has done and the clear instructions made that absolutely painless and approval was back with me within 24 hours.

You then need to re-run the Instant Profit Machine with your new codes but that only takes about 10 minutes or so. Overall you will have 7 income streams from 6 fully 'Google-ised' web sites with this package (This is Shelly's expert area).

After that it really is “Set It and Forget It”

You will need a web hosting account and domain name or you will need to sign up to one if you don't already have one but Shelly has got that covered in the this package as well.

As well as the main program there a number of great bonus items including an additional 2 web site income streams (although these will need further marketing but instructions are included!)and some excellent training/instructional videos.

This package also comes with a 60 day no questions asked guarantee.

Conclusion

All in all this looks very good. I think it would be difficult not to make some money with this one. And at the price you should get it and set it up as part of your online business as it literally runs itself.

Making money on-line is all about multiple income streams and the Instant Profit Machine is an easy one to add to your portfolio and you should see a steady flow of cash coming in.

One tip from me that isn't in the step by step instructions is to create a site map for each web site and use Google's webmaster tools to upload to Google. This will get your web sites indexed more quickly and likely more thoroughly so you will get your money coming in quicker. You can find more info on creating site maps at the The OnlineIncome Club web site.

Hope this was useful. I am always happy to get feedback from members experience with any online income package and I will pass on your comments to help other members.

That's it for now
See you soon

Free Email – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Email, everyone's dream and everyone's curse. If you have anything to do with any business, then you will need an email account. If you have anything to do with an internet business you will need a bucket full of email accounts. What should you use? How do you manage them? And how do you protect yourself?

First let's look at the available email providers and what's on offer.

If you have an internet service provider then they probably supplied you with an email account. If you have your own domain and web site then your hosting company will supply you with email addresses and there are free email accounts available from any number of third party suppliers.

Just to briefly explain email types. The simplest email tools are web based. Hotmail is a prime example of this. Unfortunately they tend to have limitations. As they are free, they usually have limited storage space and limited functionality.

I have reviewed literally dozens of free email accounts and it is clear that you will either get very little storage or if the storage is good you will not get POP3. POP3 is a protocol that allows you to use a mail applications like, Outlook, Outlook express or Windows Mail. The big advantage of using a mail application is that you can manage any number of email accounts from a single point. So in the mad world of internet business you can handle all the accounts you need.

As I said, if the free emails have no POP3 you can't do this and if you use the emails with POP3 you will have too little storage. If you want to stick with free email accounts, and you absolutely should for a lot of internet activity, then there is an alternative solution.

There are three providers that keep their heads above the others, Hotmail, Google and Yahoo but both Yahoo and Hotmail require additional payments for POP3 support and other enhancements like forwarding and auto-response.

Forwarding is where an email coming into your account is automatically forwarded to another account.
Auto-response is where your email application automatically sends a return email to an incoming email.

Another big issue is that the SPAM filtering, now so important in an email package, can actually block required emails. A prime example of this is when you sign up for almost anything these days you will get a message back (an auto response) asking you to click on a link to confirm your email address. Many of the less well funded free emails have poor SPAM filters and you will start loosing important emails.

The solution is to use Google mail (Gmail). It has all the advantages you need.

1.It's Free
2.Unlimited storage
3.Good spam protection that won't block the mails you need.
4.Auto-responder built in
5.Forwarding built in
6.POP3 availability
7.Googles stunning search technology to find emails in your account.

You simply use either your existing POP3 email account as your master account or create a Google mail account and use that with your choice of POP3 mail application. This will give you off-line ability to read your mails. You can even use the web based version of Google Mail as you master account as it has unlimited storage and search facilities – but no ability to read mails off-line.

Now every time you need to sign up or give an email address online you can create a new Gmail account and set up the forwarding to your master account. This will keep any related incoming messages neatly back to one account. If you need to close that account due to an excess of unwanted mail or any other reason you simply remove the forwarding to the master account and you are clean.

You can even use the Gmail accounts in your web sites for visitors to contact you. You can set up an auto-response i.e. “thanks for your request I will get back to you within 24hrs” . You then set up forwarding to your master account to manage the incoming mails.

Simple really!

You will find more derails and a list of free email providers on The Online Income Club website

Online Marketing Essentials – How To Generate Leads That Turn Into Customers

This is the last in a series of five articles taking you through the basic steps you need to complete to successfully market anything on the internet. This article looks at how we get leads into our funnel so that we can turn them into customers.

Getting Customers To You

This is the 'pointy end' of the marketing plan. This is of course the most important piece of the jigsaw. No web site or product will sell if no-one knows it's there. Of course all the pieces in this jigsaw need to fit and work for the whole thing to be successful. Like car gearbox all the cogs must be functional and the wheels (sales) must be connected but most importantly the engine needs to be in tip top condition. If it is everything will purr along and the wheels will keep turning (sales keep coming). So let's assume that your gearbox is functional. How do get the engine running. Actually an engine is a good analogy as your marketing advertising will need to be a combination of things that all work in perfect harmony to produce a continual flow of leads to yours sales pages wherever they are.

There are a number standard of techniques – and thousands of non-standard ones. I'll stick with the standard ones for now.

1. Google Adwords, Yahoo marketing. MSN etc.
Google is up front here as the biggest with Yahoo and MSN following. There are others but at this time no-one is big enough to give you any reasonable levels of traffic to start. Of course the others are also significantly cheaper so I am sure we will come up with ways of utilizing them in the future but for now stick with the top 3.

Warning: DON'T spend any money on Adwords until you are completely clear on how they work and the fine art of buying keywords AND testing. It is very easy to waste a lot of cash for little return here.

The rise of Google Adwords (and in this context I also refer to Yahoo and MSN) has been impressive to say the least. The downside of this is that everyone on-line is using it as key part of their ad strategy. This means that the cost of advertising via this medium has shot up.

Unlike other more traditional ads (I.e. newspaper and TV) they use a system called PPC or pay per click. Basically you bid on certain keywords or expressions (known as long tail keywords). The value of which varies depending on their popularity. You then pay that money each time someone clicks on your advert. The bidding system means that the higher the bid the higher (in the search results) and more likely your add is going to appear.

In an earlier article I discussed 'selecting your niche' you can now begin see how this works. For instance (back to the cars) bidding on the keyword FORD might cost you (guess) £5 per click as the likes of FORD and any number of thousands of Ford car showrooms and repair garages etc. will be wanting their ads to show up before yours. However if you bid on the expression 'second hand Ford cars in Bristol' I'm pretty sure you would get top billing for about £0.10 per click.

When you do run an ad campaign (that's what it's called!) it is imperative that you start low and test often. I.e. look at your results, are you getting clicks, how many convert, edit your ad, review results. Keep going until you are in profit.

2. Articles

Writing articles is a great way to get traffic to your site. There are loads of article directories that you can post your articles to and they are all free. So how does that work?. Well the article directories allow other websites to republish the articles . This gives the web sites free content. The article directory itself becomes a place to go to research any subject on the planet. So it has traffic going to the articles. You benefit because each article has a bio or authors section in which you can post you own website address and it must remain at the foot of your article if anyone republishes it. This gives you two things (1) potential traffic to your site from every reader and (2) one or more 'back links' (URL links to your sites from other web sites). This is important as Google uses the amount of back links as a major part of their decision on your websites search ranking.

3. Videos
Another great way to get site traffic is to produce short videos selling your product. Use product reviews or how to's or come up with new ideas on how to present a product or introduce a product in the video. You can include your web site URL in the video and in the description on the hosting site.
Post your videos to YouTube, Google, Yahoo and dozens of other sites who will take your videos for free.

3. Blogs
The latest tool in the marketers arsenal. A blog is an online diary that can attract significant numbers of readers if you keep it current and interesting. You use your blog to review products and then direct potential customers to your website. A blog can be updated regularly and you can use a more relaxed style of writing, even make it funny and entertaining. There are countless ideas to use in your blog but all should be used to attract readers and direct traffic to your ultimate goal.

3. Social Networking Sites
Yes marketing has even reached here. Facebook and other networking sites are fantastic areas for marketing. Simply creating a site around your product. Create group related to your product or it's use. You then invite members to join then group (you can check for members with similar interests in their profiles). Once established you can use the messaging to get your message across. Not as a blatant sales plug but in a creative and subtle manner. i.e. I've seen this 'product' advertised at 'your website' looks fascinating. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

OK, there are loads more ways of attracting customers, news papers and magazines (yes outside of the web). Ebay and other auction sites can have some value if used properly, Text messaging (viral), Joint ventures, email list rental, banner exchange the list goes on.

Finally, ensure your website is valued by Google and Yahoo etc. so that your site comes up high in the natural searches. This is called Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
