I want to cover a few important points at this time with the purpose of just educating and if you are serious about Internet Marketing you'll take note.

And it just might get some dishonest marketers to clean up their acts. You know who a lot of them are! Most of the so-called gurus and quite a few others that have been getting away with murder. They won't be happy about the education of the typical marketer but you should care less about their feelings and be concerned that too many have simply been ripping you off!

(1) PRODUCT LICENSES: If you make a purchase and the product license in the download is different than what was inferred on the sales page simply copy the sales page and then you have two options. First, you can demand a refund and if you do not receive one proceed to launch a complaint with PayPal. Second, the license which is more favorable to use is the one you can use. The license within the download is not binding if it is different than what was presented in the sales page. And that is the law.

(2) PRICING RESTRICTIONS: They don't mean didly squat! It's considered "price fixing" in the US and Canada and quite a few other countries. A marketer can suggest a minimum selling price but cannot demand that an item be sold at a specific price. If they attempt to enforce a minimum price they are the ones committing a felony offense. What does control how a price is set is YOU and the determination should be based upon what your time is worth and what is the "real value" of the product.

(3) CONTACT INFORMATION: Too many marketers leave this little gem out of the sales page. Again, under US and Canadian law there must be a valid way to contact the seller on the sales page. My advice is that you shouldn't even purchase from someone that doesn't display contact information.

Digest the above information. There will be more helpful tidbits within a few days.

Starts February 6th!
Ends February 29th!

I have said it many times but it is worth repeating. You should participate in "JV Giveaways" as a CONTRIBUTOR to build your subscriber list.

Your list is the single most important element to having a successful Internet Marketing business.

It's free to participate in "JV Giveaways" and the rewards will payoff for a long time!

Choosing The Right Gift To Submit!

Don't submit any product that has been available for more than 3+ months. Most visitors will realize immediately that they either have the item or had no need for the item before they even view it on the giveaway. Visitors will not add their email address to another list for a product that is of no use to them. Don't underestimate the importance of choosing the right gift. I can visit almost any giveaway at this time and find items being offered that are 2 and 3 years old. Submit old worn-out products and you will not receive any subscribers.

Wait until the last 1-2 days prior to the launch of the giveaway to choose the gift you want to offer. By waiting you will have the opportunity to log-in and view the gifts already submitted. By using this technique you will be able to determine if the gift you were considering for submission is already being offered. If it is, you are better off looking at a quality alternative that isn't being offered. That will make your gift much more attractive and increase the likelihood that visitors will subscribe to your list to obtain your gift.

Remember that the more unique the gift, the higher the probability that more visitors will subscribe to your list

Be sure that the gift you are submitting grants you the right to give it away so check the license carefully!

Should You Take Advantage Of The Opportunity To Upgrade?

You can contribute to the giveaways for free but if you consider an upgrade (which I usually do not recommend) please read my comments first at http://www.2nd-income-solutions.com/Newsletter_Subscribers_Quick_Notes_JV_ALERTS.htm I have the "ONLY LISTINGS" that rate and supply comments about giveaways and the feedback from my readers has been very positive. And I can assure you that I determine what giveaways are worth participating in based upon impartial considerations. I have been known to give a giveaway a poor rating even when I have purchased the upgrade. My first obligation is to my subscribers. The giveaway itself is secondary to me.

Generally, I do not recommend purchasing an upgrade if the cost is more than $27 and then I suggest you use the following guidelines.

If it is a giveaway being run by experienced promoters that have a good track record I would consider upgrading.

If the upgrade includes additional incentives such as some recently introduced products that you don't already have that have Master Resale Rights and/or Private Label Rights I strongly suggest upgrading.

If the cost of the upgrade is less than $20 and the giveaway is being promoted by an experienced promoter I almost always recommend the purchase of an upgrade.

The immediate advantage associated with upgrading in most giveaways is usually the opportunity to submit three gifts instead of one (sometimes more), which drastically increases the chances that at least one of the 3 gifts will appeal to a potential subscriber. The other is that your primary gift will receive additional exposure by being displayed on the "Hot Downloads" page. Another advantage is that the points you receive for upgrading greatly improve your positioning within the "General Downloads" pages.

Do not upgrade if the giveaway has been open for more than 48 hours!

Most giveaways receive the majority of visitors within the first 4-5 days so you would be investing in an upgrade that has already lost a lot of its potential to grow your list. I would still submit a gift because a few new subscribers are better than none. Just don't upgrade.

Why Signing-up As Early As Possible Is Important!

This will give you more time to promote the giveaway to your subscribers and the opportunity to earn points that will improve your position within the giveaway.

A Fact That Should Not Be Ignored!

If you join a giveaway as a contributor and submit a decent gift you will get some new subscribers. There is no doubt about that. And if you contribute to most giveaways scheduled during the month you will probably generate several hundred to a few thousand new subscribers.

What does even 200 new subscribers mean to you? Well, you have heard it a million times but "the money is in the list" and each subscriber is usually worth $1 per month. Doesn't seem like a lot, but 200 subscribers x $1 x 12 months = $2,400 additional income for the year. It all adds up so get involved now.

Things To Watch Out For!

False Statements: Claims such as "The promotion will have over 200,000 visitors in just a few days. So the exposure will be great". The preceding claim borders on the ridiculous! There were almost 200 giveaways in 2008 and the combined total of all the visitors didn't even come close to 200,000. It's time for promoters to update their claims to reflect the real figures of 2009!

Gift Suspension: The sad fact is that this does happen occasionally and in some instances it is justified if you did not follow the rules of the giveaway. But often gifts are deleted because of faulty scripts or poor judgment on the part of the promoter. So it is advisable to not use the "submit and forget system" regarding your gift submission. Check back at least once a day to make sure your gift is being displayed properly. If it isn't, contact the promoter immediately and demand that the problem be rectified quickly! I can't emphasize enough how important it is to check your submission often! Just recently Odinn Sorensen suspended my gifts in "The Impact Event Giveaway" because he had received a complaint from James Stein that I was offering an item as a gift that was not allowed by the license terms. Odinn Sorensen never bothered to contact me prior to suspending the gifts (which was unprofessional) and I could have rectified the matter quickly by explaining to him that James Stein was an idiot that was confusing what he saw in the One-Time-Offer in the gift download page as the gift (one can only wonder how someone could confuse a gift with a OTO). The end result was that I wrongfully accused Scott Case of initiating the complaint and I lost valuable exposure until Odinn Sorensen reinstated a gift that should not have been suspended in the first place. I am detailing this incident to make the point to... check your gifts daily. This type of incident occurs frequently and it can be costly!

Fed-up With Right-Clickers Stealing You Blind? There Is A Simple Way To Stop Them!

Simply place the following one line of code after the opening <body> tag of your HTML and it will keep them from accessing their "right-click" context menu.

<body oncontextmenu="return false">

That's it! A simple solution to a major problem that will stop the vast majority from copying text and photos from your web site.

What makes these utilities better than most others?

After all, they are free and you can find them yourself if you search hard enough!

What makes them different is that we research 100's of these offers every month and we only post a few.

And then they are posted only after we have downloaded, activated and used the software ourselves!

I made over $200,000 in 2007 in Internet Marketing. And at my present pace I'll do about the same in 2008! And that is while a recession is going on.

Okay, so some of you are not impressed.

That would be the few gurus on my list that made a lot more by selling the same regurgitated junk to your unsuspecting customers.

Or you are just a hard-working marketer like myself that has a quality list and has established a good and trusting relationship with your subscribers. And you learned a long time ago to not listen to the so-called gurus. And you also take care to not insult the intelligence of your subscribers by trying to sell them overpriced rehashed junk.

GREAT!

If you are a guru, listen up. Your days are numbered! Marketers are becoming more savvy to your devious ways and it's just a matter of time before they stop buying your junk altogether.

If you are a 6-figure a year marketer there is little that I know that you probably don't know already. But I do appreciate that you are on my list and always welcome your feedback.

But this short article is really aimed at the 99% of my subscribers who got involved in Internet Marketing to make money and have had different degrees of success.

Listen up! Today I am going to tell you how to create Private Label Rights and/or Master Resale Rights products that will generate income for you on a daily basis. Oh, you've heard that before? Yeah, so have I! But lets touch on the basics and then add a simple twist that almost 100% of you are not using and absolutely nobody is telling you about. And I have not put this secret into an eBook that I am going to sell you for 7 bucks. It's common sense information that is free to use, or not use, to greatly improve your bottom line.

First, if you are serious about making "serious money" in Internet Marketing you need your own product! You simply cannot generate a substantial amount of income by just buying and selling products developed by others. You can generate some money by going that route but you are competing against hundreds, if not thousands, of other marketers that are selling the same products.

By developing your own products you have something unique to sell and you are then in a position to let others buy your product so they can promote it to others.

But developing your own product is really not that easy, no matter what the gurus would like you to believe. But it can be done with a reasonable amount of effort.

So where do you start?

For the moment it will be easier to understand the process if you targeted a "niche" for your product. And avoid niches such as traffic generation, list building, search engine optimization, and other niches that are being offered on a daily basis. Choose a niche that is sure to have a following but has not been overly exposed.

For example: You could choose a niche about resorts. It could be about the best resorts in the United States or another specific geographical area. Do your research to find the best resorts and add your own comments so that the reader knows that you took the time to research and write knowledgably about the subject.

I'm not going to get into graphic design or packaging for your product. Hopefully, you are already familiar enough with these to complete the process yourself.

Next you should decide whether or not you are going to offer your product with Private Label Rights, Master Resale Rights, or both. I suggest offering it both ways but always try to design your offer so that you remain in control of your product. By that I mean that you may wish to only allow someone that has purchased the product directly from you the right to sell Private Label Rights and Master Resale Rights and that their customers cannot sell the Private Label Rights. You also should have a period of time from introduction to a specific date where customers cannot sell the Private Label Rights. For instance: You introduce your product on November 1st but your license forbids customers from selling the Private Label Rights until November 15th. That gives you two weeks to sell without actually competing against your own customers.

The next thing you should so is to have some sort of affiliate program in place so that your customers can resell your product and generate affiliate income. Many marketers prefer this method and as a developer you will find that by offering this option you will usually see 25-50% more sales. Until recently we were using a 3rd party for our affiliate program but they stopped operating recently. We now use Rapid Action Profits Software and I recommend that you use RAP or another quality software program to fulfill your affiliate needs.

Where do you sell your product?

This isn't secret information. Offer the product to those on your subscriber's list first. Next, contact other marketers that are already established because they are in the best position to promote your new product to large numbers of potential buyers.

So what is the secret information I was going to share with you for free?

It is simply this, and it is a method that is very effective but rarely used by even the best marketers. Contact businesses that fall within the niche of the product. Briefly describe your product and allow them to sell or even give away (eBook format only) to their subscribers. If you had developed a niche product about resorts you should be contacting:

• Resorts
• Travel Agencies
• Chambers of Commerce

Be sure your eBook contains links to your web site and email contact so that everyone receiving the free eBook will be able to contact you. These are all potentially new marketers and it greatly expands the opportunity to sell more products.

I have used this method and it is effective so I recommend making the effort.

So now you have a new and very effective marketing tool and you didn't have to pay a guru $7 or more for an overly worded eBook to get secret information!

I just received a complaint from a subscriber who was not happy about the duplicate emails. We hear you! We get sick of it ourselves.

But we use a tactic that most savvy marketers use and simply delete ourselves from duplicate lists. The marketer that complained evidently isn't too savvy. We checked and he was on 10 different lists. He signed up to those lists and in each instance he was instructed to either not sign-up because it would duplicate his emails and in other instances he was asked to unsubscribe because he was on the most current "ALERT" list to receive messages relating to a major package that he had purchased.

For instance, if you purchased the 2010 SUPER COMBO Package and upgraded to the 2011 edition you will receive messages every time a "MAJOR UPDATE" is made to one or more or the packages contained in the SUPER COMBO Package. If you upgraded simply delete your address from the 2010 list by using the link at the bottom of the email. You will still remain on the 2011 updates list.

DO NOT DELETE your address if you have not upgraded and still wish to be notified when new downloads are available.

If you signed-up to receive one of our gifts from a giveaway you DO NOT have to sign-up again! When we post a new gift to a giveaway we always place the download link to that gift on our newsletter. Many people are subscribing each time they see  new gift that they want and that isn't necessary. Simply go to the current newsletter (link can always be found at "Quick Notes"

• Our Subscription List increased over 400% in the past year!
