Things are changing in the Internet Marketing and Network Marketing world. I call it the "Hybrid" where the two worlds meet. Could this one be the game changer
"The money's in the list" we are told but we are faced with a string of hurdles to jump in order to make it a reality. Not only do we need a capture page, hosting for that but we need follow up products to sell and if its to work properly a fully functioning funnel.
Great but that is a HUGE amount of work even if you have the skills to do it yourself. Then, of course, you have to drive targeted traffic to it that converts into sales.
So what if someone had set up a program that MADE money from building the list and then put all the other components in place for you? To be fair my experience of done-for-you squeeze pages, sales funnels and list building strategies in the past have not always been good but I may have found a little gem! http://trackchef.com/?i=2318
I put a great deal of weight on the way a program is introduced to me. On this occasion it was through a well respected IM'er, not in the usual way but just as a post on his Facebook page. It said "look at this! I cant believe how easy this is to do!"
After being involved with Internet Marketing for a few years now I possess a healthy skepticism when it comes to online products but this one offers the opportunity to use it for free. I signed up but soon converted to the paid membership because not to have done would have been like throwing money away.
At the time of writing this has only been on offer for a few weeks but already looks like its gaining traction. The way its set up means that it has every chance of going viral.
Take a look for yourself http://trackchef.com/?i=2318. I plan to update my Blog with my results as I go so watch this space.

A Preview of the Fiverr Buyers Guide
The Fiverr Buyers Guide was launched Last month to rave reviews because it gives a whole new take on buying from Fiverr.
The author, Ron Farrow, Uses Fiverr daily as part of his online business and shares his tips and tricks with the reader.
I have reproduced a small part of the Ebook as a taster to its content and format.
Introduction
Fiverr is a world class platform for buying and selling a range of online services. That’s a
given; so is its reputation in producing a wide range in quality from the brilliant all the way
down to the downright dreadful.
If you use Fiverr just to send a friend an unusual birthday surprise and it goes a bit wrong or
arrives late, it’s not the end of the world. Run out and get a bottle of Jack Daniels or box of
chocolates. If however, you have a contract to fulfil or a website to launch, it becomes a big
issue.
Nevertheless, it remains that there are incredible bargains to be had from Fiverr but you need
to know where to look, the right questions to ask and how to get true Fiverr value.
4
Step by Step How to Choose a Fiverr Seller
Go to the menu bar at the top of the Fiverr first page and select the general heading under
which the gig you require comes, e.g. “Graphics & Design” and select the specific heading
e.g. “Logo Design.”
You will then be presented with the “Recommended” already loaded for you to scroll through
or the option of loading either “High Rating” or “New”.
Now here is where it gets interesting. The accepted wisdom is to go for the high rating,
looking for the gig that most suits your requirements and the seller that has five stars – a
quick scroll through the feedback to confirm the star rating and place the order, sit back, and
wait for delivery. Should be no problems and everything will be fine, right? Wrong! And
here’s why.
First, you need to ensure that the seller is capable of doing the work you are asking of them.
Once you have selected a possible candidate, select “The Seller” and you will be presented
with four facts.
Positive Rating
One hundred percent is good but with clarification a less than perfect score may be okay.
More on that later.

From
Fiverr sellers are from around the globe, including places the BBC, CNN and Sky News
don’t even go to, so we need to be aware of the issues this throws up. Sellers from very under
developed countries or those with ongoing conflict taking place are likely to experience
internet down time with consequences to our delivery.
Choosing a seller from the other side of the world, there is going to be a time difference. It’s
not a deal breaker but that may depend on the working time of both you and them. I have
used sellers from 12 time zones away most successfully but they never seem to sleep!
Answering queries and taking direction during my working day.
There seems to be a reluctance on the behalf of some, if not many buyers, from Western
countries to source work from Third World Countries. I have no idea why. I have some
excellent sellers from the Indian Subcontinent, Malaysia, the Philippines, and some parts of
the Middle East. It’s the quality of work that’s important, not where they come from. Also,
occasionally a seller that claims to come from the US may well turn out to come from India,
so use it as a guide only.
Another reason for keeping an open mind about the location of the seller is that $5 in a much
bigger slice of cake in some parts of the world than the western world. So it's crazy not to at
least consider them especially for time consuming gigs.
This is a taster of the Fiverr Buyers Guide which is 18 pages long and covers the following...
Legal Matters
Introduction
Step by Step How to Choose a Fiverr Seller
Where to Find the Real Gems
How to Avoid the Shockers
How to be a “Good” Fiverr Buyer
Alternatives to Fiverr
What to Buy on Fiverr
What Not to Buy on Fiverr

How I made My First $100 Online
Imagine, if you will, being somewhat 'technically challenged' and determined to build an online business. Sound impossible? No, just difficult but possible if you build on your strengths.
Starting out
I made a list of all the online skills I had. That didn't take long! Essentially it amounted to a basic understanding of Microsoft Word and the ability to copy and paste. After discounting the usual 'paid surveys' and such schemes at first it seemed unlikely that there was anything that would fit the bill. After much searching I discovered Online Arbitrage.
Defining the business opportunity
Arbitrage is the purchase and sale of an item profiting from the difference in price in separate markets. Online arbitrage just means that the item is deliverable using the internet.
What can be traded
Graphics and design, audio and video, online advertising and marketing, writing, social media posts, the list is lengthy. Indeed anything that's deliverable via the internet.
Where do we buy
There are a wealth of resources online for buyers of all manner of digital products and services. The best known is Fiverr but there are plenty more. Fivesquids, SEOclerks, Fourer, and many more.
Where do we sell
There are are as many places to sell online services as there are to buy them. Craigslist, Backpage, Gumtree, in fact any classified ads site.
How much money do we make
As with any business the success or failure depends upon the effort the owner is prepared to put into it and therefore the rewards are reflected accordingly.
Summary
Provided you are prepared to put in the work there is a definitely the opportunity to make money this way, even if you have never managed to make money online before.

The Best Internet Marketing Program for 2015, A Review
This program has been open 6 weeks now so there is enough evidence to determine whether its working.
These are some of the posts on Warrior Forum from participants
Just got paid!!! This is Juicy stuff!
Hi everyone!! I'm back with an update on my experience with this awesome system! I joined December 31st and have already gotten paid my first check of $53.85. Just in the last couple of days 3 more sign-ups have been added to my downline on my second level, and I haven't been doing much promoting yet, it all came from Jens promotions..My personal life been sooo busy with preparing to move, I hadn't put in much time to promote, but my downline is growing as advertised -- a complete HANDS-OFF business for sure.
I can't stress enough how newbie-friendly this business is. I would say to anyone sitting on the fence wondering if you should tag along for the ride, I say "Join Join Join!" while the seats are hot, and it's only going to get hotter as people continue to join.
Hi Jens,
I just want to let you know that your concept does work for 100%
As you can see there is some movement in my downline.
This is the original post by Jens Steyaert
"My name is Jens Steyaert and I’m the creator of Lead-Swaps.com, an all-in-one list building platform.
In December, I decided to add an income opportunity to my platform, that helps people make money just for joining my site.
This is a revolutionary system, because instead of having to pay a monthly fee to join, people now get paid.
In order to achieve this we leverage one of the most powerful affiliate programs on the planet, that of a company called Trafficwave.net, which is an autoresponder company similar to Aweber, Getresponse, Mailchimp etc.
Today you have the chance to get started without doing a thing!
Yes that’s right, we will do all the work for you!
How does it work exactly?
- You join Trafficwave on this page through one of our members affiliate links.
- You pay a small fee of just $5 to help us advertise this page.
- We add your affiliate link on this very page and help you make sales!
What makes the Trafficwave program so powerful, you might wonder?
The reason why the Trafficwave affiliate program is so lucrative, is the fact that they pay up to 10 levels deep. This means your monthly passive income can be stunning with just a handful of personally referred sales.
That’s right! Only 10 sales can help you earn a full-time passive income. Just watch this:
-------
And do you remember that you don’t even have to lift a finger to make the sales? We will do it for you!
Yes you can consider this 100% passive if you want to. All it requires is to join Trafficwave on this page ($17,95) and pay a small fee of $5 to help us advertise YOUR business!
This will unlock the real power of the affiliate program, as you can potentially earn from everybody that joins after you.
I have based my system on an incredible video, that shows exactly how it works, and how it can help you change your life forever. Please watch this video to fully understand how in a couple of minutes you can change your life by joining our amazing system:
---
This is some powerful stuff!
“Ok the passive income opportunity is great, but can I also promote myself?”
We got you covered!
As I mentioned, you can consider this offer 100% passive if you want, but if you want to promote yourself, we offer all the tools you need to build a solid online business!
Here’s what you get if you join today:
BONUS 1:
Full access to Lead-Swaps.com, the ultimate list building platform. Our platform helps hundreds of people to grow their email list. When you join today, you’ll get full access to all features. (Value = $19,95 / Month)
BONUS 2:
A complete done-for-you sales funnel. Building a funnel isn’t easy, so we got you covered. You’ll get access to a free funnel we have developed to help you make even more Trafficwave sales.
BONUS 3:

BONUS 4:

Even though this opportunity can be 100% passive, as you see you’ll get everything you need to grow your business and make sales. These bonuses alone make this a no-brainer offer!
“Alright I’m in, how do I get started?”
In order to join this amazing opportunity, please follow these steps:
1. To join Trafficwave.net click this link for a paid account. Please not that in order to make money, you’ll need a paid account, not a free trial! Then we can get started promoting YOUR affiliate link. The link here is another members affiliate link, and we’ll add yours here too!
2. Pay the $5 advertising fee here. We will use this COMPLETELY to promote your affiliate link and send traffic to this page. That’s the ONLY extra cost needed to make this succeed for everybody.
3. Send over the info on the thank you page of the Paypal checkout to our support desk. When we have your info, we will instantly get started promoting your business!
That’s it, now you can sit back and relax and watch your additional income stream grow month after month.
Seriously, you won’t find a better opportunity anywhere else! If you’re looking for a way to earn TRUE passive income, then this is for you.
You don’t need ANY experience at all! Just follow the 3 simple steps above, and we’ll get started promoting your affiliate link, it’s that simple really.
Are you ready to change your life? Then take action now so we can get started promoting your business!
This opportunity will change lives, so don’t wait another moment, and we’ll set you up fast!"
I wish you all the best,
Jens Steyaert
It would appear to be working and if so will produce a reasonable return for those brave enough to joining.

ListLegacy A New Way to Build a List
I found this unique list building program following a recommendation from an Internet Marketing friend on Facebook. I've signed up for the free version. It looks very interesting, take a look at their opening narrative;
"How long have you been trying to make money online and nothing works consistently?
How often have you jumped from one opportunity to the next?
This pattern of jumping around is your #1 problem.
Please do yourself a favor.
Commit to ListLegacy for the next 30 days.
Forget everything else, you've jumped around enough.
Read the emails from ListLegacy.com when you see them, WHITELIST our email to make sure you receive every one, we will be teaching you the secrets to getting MASSIVE RESPONSE from your new list (how to whitelist our email).
Dedicate the next 30 days of your online marketing to this one program, and I guarantee you'll start to see the success you desire and learn a lot too.
30 days is a small commitment to make and it is a commitment that could change your life.
What have you got from jumping from one opportunity to the next up until now? Little to nothing right?
So by blanking out everything else, and committing to ListLegacy for 30 days, you have NOTHING to lose, and it could change everything for you!
The time to stop talking, stop dreaming, and start DOING is now!
The secret to continuous ongoing traffic, subscribers and sales, is consistent action!
When you login here and complete ONE action from this section every day, you are going to see your success explode.
Your number one aim should be to build your subscriber list to several hundred people. Once you do, you can leverage that list to start getting even more subscribers at basically no cost to you.
Here's how...
If you haven't heard of 'Ad Swaps', basically, it is an arrangement where you partner with someone else who has a similar list size as you, you email their ad to your subscribers, they do the same for you. (We'll tell you exactly how to do these on down this page)
As a ListLegacy member, you can multiply the effectiveness of ad swaps to the nth degree.
Lets say, ordinarily you do an ad swap and get 100 new subscribers, before ListLegacy, that's where your subscribers would stop. But since all your subscribers also get their own ListLegacy accounts, and drive traffic to their ListLegacy websites just like you do, each of them will be passing up some of their subscribers to YOU, and then THOSE subscribers will again pass up even more subscribers to you!
So those initial 100 subscribers could turn into an extra 500, or even 1000 new subscribers VERY quickly.
This is the unique power of the ListLegacy referral system.
Every one of your subscribers immediately becomes one of your helpers, helping you grow your list and business."
Seems like good advice to me so will give it the 30 days. If you want to join me, click on the banner on the left.

Step by Step Work from Home
From: Cindy Taylor
Dear Friend,
Are you tired of worrying about losing your job?
Or looking for one?
Do you lay awake at night worrying about the next rent or mortgage payment?
Are you sick of the helpless feeling that you’re not able to provide for yourself and your family?
If so, then I am writing this to YOU. Because, I am certain, completely convinced that I can help you.
I can show you a way to stop being a victim of the economy and abusive employers
The only reason that I can say this with so much confidence, is because I have been there myself
I know how discouraging it is to search endlessly for work, waiting for that email to appear, or the phone to ring. Waiting for someone to choose you, give you a job and income. It can be terrifying. I know. I have been in the same situation myself.
Like so many of you, my own life began heading downhill sometime in 2008. My husband and I had just purchased a print shop. I know, I know – a dying industry. We knew, print wasn’t going to last, but we thought we might get ten or more years out of it. What we didn’t know was that the economy was on the brink of collapse.
We closed the store for good in 2009. After that, I tried training for a new career, but without relevant experience, no-one wanted to hire me. This was the first time in my life that I went to interviews and didn’t land a job. I was terrified, I felt completely helpless.
I did find a job, eventually…..
But the vulnerable feeling stuck with me. Suddenly, even a job didn’t seem so stable any more.
I’m sure you don’t like to talk about it much. No-one does. But I’m convinced that I’m not the only person who has struggled with feeling helpless in this economy. In my opinion, we should start talking about it.
Because that is how we change things for the better.
So I’ll go first…
In 2011, I found myself in the exact same position.
I found a job that I hated. And I clung to it with a death grip. To make matters worse, my own fear and anxiety, was causing me to make dumb mistakes.
Which made me afraid that I would lose my job….
Which caused me anxiety…
Which caused me to make dumb mistakes…
You get the picture…
Then,
Just before the Holidays, I hit my lowest point ever
On the last Friday afternoon before the holiday break, my boss walked into my office and said these two words.
“You Suck”
That had never, ever happened to me before. I felt completely humiliated. I immediately felt the heat rise into my face. (I’ve never been able to hide my emotions very well)
The worst part?
He was right.
I did suck. I made dumb mistakes all the time. And I hated that job. I hated it, and I couldn’t help myself.
And I just wasn’t able to do a good job, at a job, that I hated.
The very last thing my boss said to me that day was, “You should take the holiday break to think about your future here.”
I went home that day, discouraged – but determined to find an answer
That day, something changed for me. I decided that. Somehow, and I didn’t have any idea how, I was going to find a way to never be that dependent any one person, any one job, ever again.
That night, as I lay awake for another sleepless night, I thought to myself, “Well if no-one else wants to hire me, I will just have to hire myself.”
I had no idea where to begin. Except, I was pretty sure that whatever the answer was, I would find it online.
I spent the entire holiday scouring the internet, and by the time I returned to work, I had a pretty good idea what I was going to do next......
This article is too long for a single blog post so to view the complete document fill in your email top right and I will send it to you.

7 Ways To Make Money From Your Blog
Its the core strategy of a vast number of successful internet marketers. Blogging has proved to be one of the most enduring methods of income generation working online. Why? It fulfills the basic requirement of any online marketing campaign, it gives value to its readers first. The sales side has to follow after you have established a rapport with your audience just like any other social media platform. It takes time and effort and I will be sharing the required strategies with you over the coming weeks.
For now lets look at the methods bloggers use to monetize their blogs
1/ Adsence
The starting point for many bloggers on their journey to making money online. Run by Google, Adsence sells advertising to business which then places ads on blogs and websites in the form of banners. It is possible to make a reasonable income doing this but you will require an engaged regular audience and lots of traffic. Google will require your blog to reach a certain standard before it places ads on it but you can apply and wait until their criteria are met.
2/ Affiliate Offers
Acting as an affiliate for online products is the most popular method of making online sales, but not the easiest. It takes a lot of work to engage with your customer first but there are "Super Affiliates" out there making large sums doing it - but not just from blogging. The best route is by writing a product evaluation followed by a link. Sources of affiliate products are Clickbank, JVzoo, Clicksure, Amazon, Ebay, to name but a few.
3/ Banner Ads Place banners on your blog either for an affiliate offer or for another independent marketer. Use banner ads to promote your own online/offline products.
4/ Email Marketing You will hear this a lot "the money's in the list!". An email list is still considered to be the best method of making an online income bar none. Build a list and send them useful information about your niche and include sales emails from time to time. A Blog is considered one of the best ways of collecting email addresses as the person is already engaging with you. An accepted sign up rate is 1 in a 100 visitors so not a fast method of email collection but much will depend on how much traffic you send to your Blog.
5/ Produce an Ebook After you have written 20 or so articles on your Blog, put them together to produce an Ebook. If the content is of a high standard (and it should be) then you can either sell it, usually for around $1 or give it as an incentive to join your list. Remember you can promote your Ebook on your Blog.
6/ Website Link This method suits small business that may struggle to get their main website ranked on search engines. A much overlooked SEO method, probably because its free! Google obviously loves Google Blogger and given that you post quality content regularly its not difficult to rank on the first page in your niche. link your Blog to your website using hyperlinks.
7/ Blogging for Big Business For Bloggers that become accepted authorities in their niche there is the opportunity to work for big name retailers reviewing and promoting products or working for multi nationals as part of their PR campaigns. Not many of us will want to do this or indeed be good enough to be considered but the rewards are there for those who do.
There are many more ways to make money from Blogs but here are but 7. None of the above is of any use at all unless your content is very good and you drive traffic to your Blog so people read it!
