On March 1st, only 100 charter members will be accepted to join my IOM Power Team. That’s right, only 100. What is the IOM Power Team? The IOM Power Team is a members-only online community where I share the trade secrets that I personally use to get to the top of Google, automate social media marketing, turn blogs and websites into money-making assets, and much, much more. How valuable is this information? Companies pay me thousands of dollars to personally do exactly what I will be showing you in the IOM Power Team through a series of video tutorials that anyone watch and do at home on a PC, laptop, or Mac.

Is the Power Team for everyone? No. If you aren’t serious about starting a business online or marketing your existing business, save your money for Happy Meals at McDonalds. However, if you are willing to make the time to follow the easy step-by-step instructions that I lay out for you in videos, join the IOM Power Team. For more information and to be notified when registration is open, go to www.iompowerteam.com.

Getting paid for giving away things for free? Sounds fishy right? It’s not.

It’s called CPA marketing. No, not Certified Public Accountant, it stands for Cost Per Action.

Let me make an example to show you how it works.  Company ABC knows that if they give away 5 samples of their product or service that, statistically, one of them will turn into a long term customer and make the company $200 per year.  So, Company ABC is willing to pay people like you and me $10 every time we send someone to their website and they order a free sample.

The math is easy.  Company ABC gives $10 to each its 5 affiliates who each sent one person to the website to sign up for a free sample. One of the free samplees becomes a customer bringing the company $200. And in the end, the company nets $150.  So, the more free samples the company gives away, the more money they make, and the more money the CPA affiliates make.

It’s not tricky or fishy, it’s just affiliate marketing on steriods! And, you get paid whether or not your referral every buys anything. All they have to do is take a free sample and you get paid. Traditional affiliate marketing pays you when a sale is made. CPA marketing pays you when your lead takes an action as simple as entering their name and email on a form.

The problem is “just anybody” can’t become part of these CPA networks. You had to “be somebody” in the marketing world to join them…until now.

Affiliate Jump is a CPA affiliate network that is open to the public.
Yes! I am a member of Affiliate Jump.

You wouldn’t believe how many turn-key websites are lying around just waiting to be marketed online. Why don’t I market them myself? I simply don’t have the time. My attention right now is on my private marketing  and web design clients, and I don’t have time to market other websites. So, rather than letting them collect dust, if you want them, they’re yours. And I’m selling them off cheap!

How can learn what they are and get one?

You have to be on my Entrepreneur Hot List!

Last year, I launched the Entrepreneur Hot List and registration was open for only about a week before I closed it. It’s an exclusive list and has been closed ever since, until today!

Today I am opening up registration for the Entrepreneur Hot List, and for a limited time membership is FREE for my blog readers and those subscribed to my newsletter.

How can you join?

Go to www.entrepreneurhotlist.com.

If registration is still open and FREE, you’ll be able to sign up right there and get on the list.

Now, I have to get back to packing up these businesses for you!

Peace. . . I’m back to work.

From what I can tell at first glance, Peoplestring is a social networking and email service that rewards you in multiple ways for using their services.

Here’s one of the free banners that People String gives you to help spread the word on your blog or website.

Similar to Facebook, there is a social networking aspect of the site where you can update your status, add friends, join groups, etc. . . Additionally, there is a chat feature that brought me back to they days of AOL chat rooms of the early 90′s.

The system gives you an email address such as nateburgoyne@peoplestring.com that is free, though it may take you a minute or two to find it. I found it by clicking on the rotating “Mail” icons on the right side of the  page.

Before I share my thoughts on the program, I actively participate in Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, so that’s where my social networking foundation lies.

I think Peoplestring has  a great idea about putting money back into the pockets of the users, however, in my opinion, I think it’s a  ”features overkill”.  For me, the dashboard is too busy with banners, buttons, links, tools, and news.

I’m guessing that once you get into it and spend some time with it, you’ll be able to easily navigate through the site.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled with the simple Twitter layout that asks nothing more than, “What are are you doing? and the Facebook update box that asks the question, “What’s on your mind?”.

Am I going to take Peoplestring as a serious business venture? Maybe. They have a lot of new features planned coming up for the network and I’m sure they’ll be working out the kinks as they go along. While I was trying to figure out the system, the number of people online was bouncing around 176 at any given time, which in today’s social networking word, is minuscule, however, you have to start somewhere.

Personally, I think People String needs to clean up the interface some so it’s easy to follow and so that it intuitively tells you what to do to use the services and generate income with the system. From what I can tell, you get paid by getting others to use the system,  taking surveys, and promoting some products like this Black Grape antioxidant drink.  It’s a bit overwhelming for me.

They do  have some tutorials and webinars and so forth to show you how to use it all, but to tell you the truth, I’m in an iPod state of mind. I want to be able to look at the dashboard and know what to do without an instruction manual.

Will I personally pursue Peoople String as a business?

Well, I’ve signed up  for my free account and I’ll definitely check in with them from time to time to see how the system is progressing. If they do clean things up to where I understand the system, I’ll definitely be launching my business and helping my downline to do the same.

Should you sign up for Peoplestring?

Yes. Why not? It’s free.

Sign up as part of my group by clicking the banner below and when I decide to take this business into full gear, you’ll be one of the first to get first-hand training on how I do it. Might as well jump in early and get paid a couple bucks doing so.

I had a feeling I could do better than a mere 25% off!

So, I decided to check out what kind of discount my Vistaprint affiliate banner would get me on my order. I clicked the banner on my blog homepage here at www.nateburgoyne.com and here’s what happened to my order: My order that was supposed to total $175.45 was cut to just $68.44 including FREE Shipping!

Unreal! Anyway, if you’re looking to order business cards, magnetic signs, or other promotional items for your business, and want to get them cheap, be sure to use the Vistaprint affiliate banner on my homepage or at the end of this blog post.

You won’t get these steep discounts by going straight to the site. To get them, you have to click on the banner on my homepage or at the end of this blog post. On a side note, these offers are continually changing so if you’ll be due for new cards in the future, now is a great time to stock up. I am.

I recently got my hands on The Secret Weapon and am going to tell you the secret in this video for free. If you want to make sure your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn updates, emails, and classified ads such as Craigslist stand out from the never-ending sea of tweets, updates, and emails that your clients are receiving on a daily basis, you need The Secret Weapon.

I have the rights to share the secret with you and it’s yours for the taking. I’m not sure how long the video will be up there but, as of today, it’s there for you. Enjoy the video and have fun with The Secret Weapon.

I just recently attended a webinar (online seminar) by a colleague of mine named Devon Brown where he reveals an insider strategy that he and I both use to get a huge number of Twitter followers for our businesses. The webinar was about an hour and it was phenomenal.

He’s giving another webinar on the same topic and has opened up registration FREE for the first 47 people who register online. This is a $77.00 seminar that he is giving away free admission to for those who register early.

Devon does a great job teaching this insider strategy to make money with Twitter.

Just the other day I completed a project for a client mine whose business gave him a domain name such as www.yourbusiness.com/yourname. The way something like this works is the business owner drives traffic to his website and when www.yourbusiness.com/yourname makes a sale, you get the lead or the commission. This is a common business model for muti-level-marketing companies and like businesses which are really great programs that I too am involved in.

Where does the problem lie? 

The problem is, from what I’ve seen, Google won’t index www.yourbusiness.com/yourname in it’s search engine results unless there’s a link to it off the main page of the website.  Google recognizes it as an affiliate page and just indexes the root domain. As I was doing a little research on this I did find one www.yourbusiness.com/yourname website indexed by Google but when I clicked on it, it went to the root domain, and the next day I couldn’t even find the affiliate page in Google. The point is, if you have an affiliate site, don’t get your hopes up about getting high search engine ranking because it’s just not going to happen.

What’s the solution? 

Register a new domain name such as www.yourbusinesstoday.com and build an opening page that is search engine friendly and is likely to get indexed by Google. On that page you can put a button that says, “Enter Here” or “Click for more information”. Then when someone clicks that button, it sends them to your affiliate page www.yourdomain.com/yourname.  You are in control of your homepage, your domain, your online marketing, search engine ranking and all. You could even change businesses and all the traffic that you’ve generated over the years is still yours because you own the domain and the opening web page. 

I just completed a project exactly like this for one of my clients. Next step, drive traffic!
