If you aren’t a SlideShred Gold member yet, get signed up because I’m going to have a lot of cool stuff coming soon.

Anyway, I had some unfortunate events transpire in the past week or so, including getting stabbed outside of a bar. Don’t worry, I’m o.k. A little knife wound can’t keep me down

So, I’m back working on Easy Video Design and the first video of the series of prelaunch videos will be available for SlideShred Gold members by the 15th when the monthly videos are released.

I hope you guys get a log out of this and start pumping out videos like there’s no tomorrow so, with that said, I’m really excited about this and just hope I can be of benefit to you!

Thanks for all your support!

So, this is essentially very similar to a new platform Facebook is going to be using soon. With Zynga overpowering the market with their hotter than hot Facebook games like Farmville, Cafe World, and Treasure Isle. Zynga is cashing in HUGE off of selling consumers VIRTUAL CURRENCY.

This is really cool because I have a website myself that deals similarly in virtual currency. Users sign up, and they can complete surveys in return for a certain type of gift card. (sorry, not outing my niche right now lol)

Anyway, I’ve noticed that this is a huge trend and if you can capitalize it even to a small degree, there is huge money to be made here. Facebook knows this, and is rolling out their own games to compete with Zynga’s that will soon make Facebook a powerhouse even moreso than it already is.

Another company I noticed using this technique is of course Disney. Now, besides the obvious similarities with the Chuckee Cheese model which most likely Disney invented, they have a virtual game of their own called Club Penguin.

This game is similar to the Facebook games, and you build up a house and decorate it with things so more of your friends will hang out with you in the game. I was actually looking for an affiliate program once I saw that you could buy Club Penguin money for X amount of dollars. But, there is none to be found. And, why should there be? Games like these go viral very fast and if you search for Club Penguin, you will see it is a crazy hot niche for young kids. Disney would rather keep all the money they make for their virtual currency, and it only makes sense.

I know my parents really don’t know what I do but I was glad the other day when my Dad became to come around.

You see, I talk to my parents about what I do as I do with anyone else. And I’ve told my Dad a lot of times that one-time-offers really work well for me.

He always used to just kind of stare blankly while I’m telling him about my subscribers signing up and then being taken to a one-time-offer.

But, the other day, he said “Hey Mark, I was on Facebook and an ad showed up for golf tips so I clicked on it.” He went on to tell me that the guy had really good information so he opted-in.

To his surprise, he was greeted with none other than a one-time-offer!

He told me he was really tempted to get it but decided against it until he had finished watching this “golf guru’s” 10 videos that he was supposed to get. He said, “I’m sure I can just use a different email to get to the one-time-offer again.” Which, most likely is correct.

But he said, “I just thought to myself, hey, this is what Mark does.”

So, I told him yea, I mean, information marketing isn’t about scamming people or trying to rip people off, but if you have a hot lead that is interested in a product, it’s a great way to get a customer in the door by offering them a one-time-offer.

That was pretty cool I thought because, before he was really skeptical all the time I talked about internet marketing.

And although a lot of my income comes from other sources such as CPA and offline clients, I do think that one-time-offers are one of the best ways to generate a consistant income online.

As internet marketers we are always seeing one-time-offers, promotions of this and that, and sometimes I think we take for granted that a good percentage of the population is not even aware that this kind of marketing is being done… until it happens to them.

Anyway, just something to think about.

I’m still working on my new product about creating your own profitable SlideShred videos and it should be done and ready to launch by June 1st.

But, most of the time you will get a good idea about who your target customer is by just talking to friends and family about your product.

You can ask, who do you think will use this and why?

Some tools that I use regularly to figure out what kind of niche to target or demographic are the following:

Google Insights

This is an incredible tool for figuring out who is searching for different terms, where the most search volume is and what’s getting more popular. I tend to use this more than almost any other search tool because it shows how the trends are changing.

Google Keyword Tool

By far the internet’s best keyword tool because it is aggregated by the internet’s best search compiler so if you aren’t using this one then you may want to rethink your strategies.

Quantcast

This is an amazing resource that not only shows traffic stats for any sites that are “quantified” but also shows demographics as well as “other sites that the visitors are interested in”

If you have any questions about how to use any of these free resources, shoot me an email at

Well, actually now that I think about it, I did used to love trying to figure out all the TV commercials. What were they REALLY trying to say?

Now, all I do is breakdown every ad that comes into my vision. I’m constantly looking for ads that have proven to work and that I have seen over and over.

If an ad is still being shown 10 years after it was released, there’s a really good chance that that particular ad is a WINNER.

Why else would the advertiser keep paying money to show it off?

The internet is the same way.

Haven’t you seen those ads that pop up on certain websites about “How I Make $5000 Posting Links on Google?” Those are no different.

They are blatant ads NOT real news stories But with THOSE ads, you can not only read through them but ALSO click through to the signup page, pay $4.95 for a free trial business opportunity, and at the same time put $30+ into the pockets of the affiliate promoting that biz opp.

This is generally how CPA works, but what I’m trying to get at is… when I watch ads on TV, I still have to either get up and out into the world to go buy what I want, get on the phone with somebody, or hope I have my laptop right in front of me.

Still I will have to find the website, and I don’t think these major TV marketers are showing their website long enough on the commercials right now. But, that’s for a different post…

What I’m saying is, the internet marketing is direct response to the quickest degree. In two clicks I can be on the order page, usually even one.

Now, since video is taking over the web rapidly, it is even easier to compete with TV advertisers and internet marketing gurus. Everyone is truly on an even playing field if marketing on the internet.

It definitely does help to have multiple streams of income coming in though
