I often see questions in forums asking what are the best resources to learn for creating online businesses. In my opinion, the best resources are forums and blogs written by people who have been there, and done that I will recommend the blog, Eric’s Tips, run by Eric Holmlund who is an internet marketing expert and has generated millions of dollars through online sales, both using his own and other people’s products. Eric is also the one who wrote, directed and produced competitive reality show, The Next Internet Millionaire.

When I first visited Eric’s blog, I thought that this is going to be another teaching people how to make money online blog with several posts here and there embedded with affiliate links. I am totally wrong! You can easily see that Eric has put in a lot of effort compiling the video lessons teaching people how to exactly prepare themselves for their online business.

Well organized video lessons
Eric’s objective is to guide the readers through stages from planning to implementation of several of the business models (watch the videos to find out what model will he be teaching). At the time of writing, he has finished posting Lesson 8, which talks about what are the things needed for an online business.

If you are new to Internet Marketing, I would recommend following every of his videos to get a quick understanding of the process flow. If you have been in this field for at least a year, you can simply skip through some of the videos and watch those that you are interested. I have personally watched most of his videos and find that they are pretty high standard and carefully put together by Eric.

If you own a website and is cracking your head thinking of ways to increase your backlinks for the purpose of optimizing your website, this post will definitely help you tremendously

I would like to introduce this particular company that specialize in gaining organic backlinks for you. Submit2Please offers Article Submission, Directory Submission, Social Bookmarking, Press Release Distribution and Pay Per Link services to help you increase your Search Engine Rankings eventually with the generation of organic backlinks.

Article Submission

If you have read some of my books on Forum Entrepreneurship, you will know that articles can generate quite a number of organic links if done properly. Submit2Please understands this concept and aims to deliver excellent quality to the customers. You can place an order that submit your article to 100 PR4 and above directories for under $50. In case you find 100 directories not enough for you, they also offer submission up to 400 directories. Check out their attractive packages here.

Directory Submission

Many Internet Marketers are saying that directory submission is dying.. this is true if they do not do it correctly. There are hundreds of thousands of directories on the Net but we have to know which are the ones to submit to for our sites.

Submit2Please has once again amazed their customers by delivering top notch quality. You can place an order with them to submit your site to 150 PR4 and above directories under $50 Of course, they also offer submission up to 700 directories. If you are going to order directory submission, I would suggest to try out their monthly submission package so as to constantly receive backlinks in a monthly basis. Refer to the extensive price package list here.

What other people say about Submit2Please
Now, see what other people have mentioned about this Submit2Please.

I launched my Web Directory Listsinfo.com in May and was interested in some quality back links to obtain a good Google Page rank. I used Submit2please Directory submission service, and was happy to see I got a nice PR 4! Not a bad start for a brand new directory! - Brian Petersen

Submit2Please has been a pleasure to work with over the past few weeks. The submission did take some time but they are very professional in terms of response time as well as the final Report sent to me. We see nice improvements as being listed in various directories. Glad we found these guys - John Xie, Cirtex Corp

Is it really useful or can I do it myself?

I believe this is the question that you want to ask now. I will say that the effect of article and directories submission alone has gained me pretty much exposure and conversion for my sites. In addition, you should also consider social bookmarking as this is one area that many websites owners have overlooked but is working well for me.

You can also choose to do all this (submitting your site or articles to top directories) yourself. However, it would take you hundreds of hours sitting in front of your computer doing submission.. I find that it is more productive and efficient if we can focus on other core activities like refining your products, interacting with other business owners and contacting your previous customers. With over 40,000+ backlinks pointing to Submit2Please homepage, you can be assured that they know their stuff

As some of you may have know that I had ordered a few reviews from some of the popular bloggers around 2 weeks ago for my eBook, The Essential Guide For Forum Entrepreneurs.

I think that this is a good time to provide some comments on the results and the quality of the review done for your future reference.

JohnCow is the first blog that I approached for reviewing my book. Although it costs $200 for a review, I felt that it is worth the investment especially since I have received a lot of positive comments on my book in DigitalPoint. I sent an email to Kumiko at Cashquests soon after for another $80 review order for my book. Finally, there is a BUZZ recently on this guy, Charles Lau, for his video review and I dropped him an email to do a review for my book. I am very glad that Charles accept my review request for only $10

Quality of the review

I appreciate the effort by JohnCow but too bad I find that his review is average.. considering a review fee of $200. CashQuests, however, has done a good job in reviewing my book by providing relevant screenshots and powerful pitch to capture the attention of the readers. It is obvious that CashQuests has put in a lot more effort in writing the review

I am also amazed by Charles when he wanted to include an interview with me together in his review. Charles really understands what his customer wants For a $10 review, I find that Charles has go too far and has added value that clearly exceeds everyone’s expectation. I am totally satisfied by Charles Lau’s $10 review

Who send me the most traffic?

For the last few weeks, CashQuests send me 39 visitors, JohnCow sends me 37 and followed by 7 from Charles Lau. I have to be fair here to say that Charles put up my review at a later date (1 week later) so you could consider doubling the effectiveness of his review.

To sum up, CashQuests top the list in traffic and quality of review at a steal of $80. Charles is an incredible blogger that provides value based on your product, not the fee you paid him.

What do I do if I have only $10?

If you have only $10 and needed badly for someone to review your blog, you have only two choices:

• Borrow $70 from your friends and order a review from CashQuests.
• Just order a review from Charles Lau.

I received a review request from GlobeDomain Web Hosting a while ago and decided to write something on them based on my research and previous web hosting experiences.

Many of you may be surprised if you have came to know that GlobeDomain offers a very affordable plan at only $4.50 per year This comes with 100MB diskspace and 1 GB bandwidth per month. To most of the new webmasters, this package is the perfect to test things out.

Looking at their entire extensive list of hosting plans, you can easily choose the plan that fits your need. The most expensive web hosting from the list is also pretty affordable at $90 per year ($7.5 per month) with 3000MB diskspace and 30GB bandwidth per month.

If you are going to add on more domains to an account, it is easily done at a rate of $10 per year for 5 addon domains. This still sums up as a pretty low cost package as compared to the other popular web hosting.

Features you should know

Every hosting account in GlobeDomain supports languages such as PERL, CGI-BIN, PHP and SSI support. More importantly, you can also set up cron jobs in your account. This is pretty essential especially if you are developing or require some auto execution of some scripts. In addition, you can create unlimited MySQL databases. This simply means that you can install several different database applications.

Good linking popularity

With over two hundreds incoming links from the worldwide web, GlobeDomain Web Hosting is definitely catching the attention of the webmasters who are looking for a good host. This also adds up to the confidence of the potential customers as well.

Support - The most important element

Everyone with enough web hosting experiences will agree with me that support is one of the most important factor when it comes to choosing a web host. GlobeDomain has a sleek interface for the support system. You can find common options like Knowledge Base, Tickets submission, Downloads and Affiliates in this dashboard.

In addition, you can also access their support forum for more information.

What others say about GlobeDomain

As usual, we should always do some research online and see what others say about this budget web hosting company before you decide. First, WebHostingTalk forums do not have much comments on this web host recently besides this positive comment. HostJury also has a rather positive comment posted.

In conclusion, GlobeDomain is worth the effort to give it a try and see if its budget plan satisfies you. You can always test them out first by seeing how they respond to your pre-sales questions before engaging their services.

The mistakes are categorized into domain urls, content and linking respectively, which I find it very easy for the readers to appreciate. This chapter includes professional advice on the exact keyword density range to follow. Based on my experience, the figures stated in this eBook is pretty accurate at the time of writing.

Off page optimization

The next chapter that focuses on the off page elements are also quite comprehensive; from explaining the weight of incoming links to the art of anchor text itself. This is the section that I would like to advise the readers to pay close attention to as the major search engines concentrate on this aspect when ranking the pages.

Link building strategies that you cannot miss

In my opinion, this is the most important part (Chapter four) of the whole eBook. Flavius will show you the eleven effective ways to build links to your site. In addition, you will also find a list of directories and resources in this eBook that you can use immediately. I have personally tried these methods and have seen good results from time to time

Tons of bonuses and extras

To add more value to the buyers, Flavius has also included tons of goodies such as the Article Submitter, Web design templates and 3 popular SEO tools. Besides the extra bonuses, you can also find other additional information at the end of the eBook. One very useful information is that you will learn how to check if a domain is banned and how to have it unbanned

To conclude, this is a SEO eBook that I would recommend to you if you are new or is trying to figuring out how to go about optimizing your site for organic search engine traffic.

I was recently featured in JOEho’s blog, Life of a Youthepreneur. The owner of the blog is kind enough to blog about and introduce me to his readers being a Local Youthepreneur

JOEho’s blog also contains several informative posts like types of business, Cash flow concept from Robert Kiyosaki and an interesting post on different people in the world.

I really have to learn from her

While reading JOEho’s blog, I found an inspiring story about this young lady, Genie. She gave up career-prospects with the world’s leading accountancy firm to become a certified youth counselor before emerging recently as a multi-talented rising starlet.

At 23, she started her own music school, believing that many young talents have got what it takes to make it in music but lack opportunities. Doing things purely for passion, she took a bold step of faith, exhausted every cent (literally!) of savings to start what she did.

I found some of her songs familiar but could not recall at the point of writing. I think I have heard her songs on the radio or other places. Do drop by her online store and grab a copy of her album if you like her songs

All the best to your career, Genie!

Many people including Patrick from BlogStorm has been talking about this latest channel to get relevant inbound links. If you have been reading and following through DigitalPoint forum, you should already know that I am actually talking about TNX

What’s in it for me?

Being a webmaster or blogger, we are concerned with the search engine rankings of our sites and it is a well known fact that the only way to get good rankings is to have quality inbound links pointing to your site. This is what exactly TNX offered us! This amazing network allows us to grab large amount of non-reciprocal links within minutes.

I am also stunned by the amount of users and sites currently in TNX. Let’s take a look at the figures:

• Users: 25,950
• Total pages in network: 18,174,828
• Text link sold: 27,627,812

With an average of 41,737 links per hour, TNX is going to create another BUZZ out of the links marketplace.

Price To Pay

Did I mentioned that it is free to use TNX? In fact, you can even earn money by placing TNX codes on your site to generate enough points that can be cashed out. Alternatively, you can spend $1 per link to place your link on a page that bears a PageRank of 5 on 20 different sites! This is by far the best bargain I have seen outside the forum marketplace.

Sleek interface, easy to use

I like the design of the interface admin panel as TNX has put in enough effort to optimize the user experiences. I personally have no problems finding the things I want. As a publisher, the first thing you might want to do is to submit your site or blog for approval then begin to add the codes into your pages.

As an advertiser, you may want to go straight into the campaign page and start to plan out the amount and types of links you like to acquire.

How much I can earn?

Using the income calculator on the TNX homepage, I can generate up to $25 passively per month just by running the codes in my blog - Not a bad deal I can see the potential of this network and I highly encourage you to join in while its new and is offering free points for a limited of time. Refer to this thread at DigitalPoint for more details!
