About 2 months ago, I managed to get 1 of the 14000 units of Butterfly Marketing 2.0 package that is given away for free. The only catch is to try out Mike Filsaime’s “The Best Damn Newsletter”. Personally, I find the newsletter a good read but feel that it is not worth the $39.95 per mth subscription. So I decided to cancel it today. To cancel The Best Damn Newsletter, you just need to visit cancelmetoday.com

As for the Butterfly Marketing 2.0 package, it contains two ring-binded books - The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript and The 7 Figure Secrets plus a 10 DVD set which contains the Butterfly Marketing software. Do note that even if you cancel The Best Damn Newsletter, you will still get to keep and use the Butterfly Marketing software.

Tissa Godavitarne is giving away a Free People Search Engine, the same People Search Engine which he is using to top the GDI leaderboard. Is there any catch? Is the Tissa’s People Search Engine 100% Free? Tissa Godavitarne’s People Search Engine is certainly 100% free but there is a catch. Basically, there are 3 steps involved to completely set up the People Search Engine.

Step 1 to Success: Affiliatize! require you to sign up with ClickBank, HD Publishing and MyLife, these 3 affiliate networks are free to join and after completing step 1, your people search enigne Display Rate will be set to 35% ( 35% your affiliate links will be display, 65% Tissa’s affiliate links will be display)

Step 2 to Success: Monetize! require you to sign up with GDI ( $10/mth ), and you will get your own branded people search engine with your own domain name. Completing step 2 will set your Display Rate to 65%.

Step 3 to Success: Advertise! require you to set a $29.95/mth paypal subscription to Tissa Godavitarne. This will set your People Search Engine to 100% Display Rate. ( Displaying 100% of the time your affiliate links )

So the catch is if you go for the free option ( completing only step 1), you will get a People Search Engine with a 35% Display Rate. Your People Search Engine URL will be a generic one like this
http://acme-people-search.com/1232018817CIHD

By paying $10/mth for GDI (step 2), you will increase the Display Rate to 65% and get a branded People Search Engine with your own unique domain name like this
http://bestlink.ws

Paying $29.95/mth to Tissa, your Display Rate will be set to 100%.

For completing all 3 steps, Tissa will also credit your account with a one time $125 of guaranteed commission, but you need to reach $200 to cash it out ( you can earn up to $30 per referral by referring people to sign up for the people search engine )

Once you reach $200 in commission, Tissa will pay the commission via paypal twice monthly. This is the proof board which show the 125 most recent payments that included GUARANTEED Commissions of at least $125 for affiliates of Tissa Godavitarne’s FREE Acme People Search.

There are 2 ways to earn money from Tissa Godavitarne People Search Engine, either by sending targeted traffic to the People Search Engine page or to the Presell page.

To earn commissions from ClickBank, HD Publishing and MyLife, you must send targeted traffic (people who are interested in locating other people) to your People Search Engine here:

Search Engine Page

To earn referral fees from Tissa Godavitarne, as well GDI sign-ups and bonuses, you must send targeted traffic (people who are interested in business opportunities) to your Presell Page here:

Presell Page

So how do you “learn to send targeted traffic” to your Web pages above?

The best way is to use PPC (Pay Per Click) search engine such as Google Adwords. Beating Adwords is a Adwords guide which I highly recommend if you intend to use PPC to send targeted traffic.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to use PPC, you can use listbuilders which are best for targeting business opportunities seeker. You can see a list of listbuilders which I am using over here.

Mike Filsaime is giving away his Butterfly Marketing 2.0 which was originally selling for $1997.

You’re getting a copy of his two-thousand dollar home
study course, including the software … for free.
You only need to pay for shipping and handing which is $29.95 for US and $39.95 for Int.

But only 5000 copies will be given away. So you need to hurry.

Get it here: Butterfly Marketing 2.0

Is there any catch?

Yes, you will be required to try out Mike’ newsletter which will cost $39.95 a month. But you can cancel it anytime you like and you get to keep the Butterfly Marketing 2.0 Home Study Course and Software.

Today, I received a payment of $200 from Tissa Godavitarne which is inclusive of the $125 guaranteed commission when I completed all 3 steps of his Acme People Search Engine and $75 commission I get from his Affiliatize program. This is my first payment received from Tissa and I am pretty sure now that Tissa Godavitarne is not a scam since he is paying out commission on time. Overall, Tissa’s program is working quite well for me as by promoting Tissa Godavitarne Affiliatize program, I am able to get referrals into GDI and earn commission from Tissa at the same time.

Another way to make money with Tissa’s program is to promote the Acme People Search Engine and earn commission from clickbank, Reunion, HD Publishing and Adsense when people perform searches. Personally, I have yet to try out this method of promotion and will be doing it next. Will post my results at a later date.

tremendous amounts of traffic to your sites. This will result in
more sales and more money for you. However, you need to know what
to do when you blog. Here are 5 great tips for a successful blog.

Make it Worth Their While

The main ingredient to a successful blog is making it worth the
reader’s while. In other words, you need to give the reader value.
Teach them something or entertain them. Better yet, do both. Teach
them while entertaining them. That will really draw people to your
blog and keep them coming back for more.

Include Anchor Text

Anchor text is text that you link to another site. In this case,
you want to link keywords back to you site. This will help your
site rank better for those keywords and it will also lead more
people from your blog to your site. Make sure you target a couple
keyword phrases in every blog and then link the keyword phrases
back to your site.

Drive Traffic with Social Networking

Another great tip for a successful blog is to use social networking
sites to drive traffic to your blog. Join at least 3 or 4 social
networking sites and then meet as many people as you can. Also,
join groups related to your niche if you can. Simply become friends
with people become someone they know, trust, and like and then
let them know about your blog.

Under no circumstances you should try to directly sell to people on
social networking sites!

Include Pictures and Videos

People love to look at pictures and they love to watch videos. In
fact, if you can make a video blog, also known as a vlog, then
people will be much more likely to watch it than they would a
written blog. Video and pictures make your blog much more user
friendly and much more interesting.

Bookmark It

As with anything you create on the Internet, you have to always
make sure that you bookmark it on at least 3 or 4 of the major
bookmarking sites (or more). You can even use a service that will
bookmark your blog on several sites. The main ones you want to make
sure you use are Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, and Del.icio.us.

A blog is a great way to increase traffic to your site and to make
more money. However, you have to know how to write a blog in order
to be successful with it. 5 great tips for a successful blog are to
make it worth the reader’s while, include anchor text, drive
traffic with social networking, include pictures and videos, and
bookmark it. If you do these 5 things then your blog will be
successful.

As the Internet becomes more and more popular, and as the economy
continues to falter, there are more and more people trying their
hand at Internet Marketing. Sadly, a large percentage of people
will fail. They simply won’t make enough money to make it worth
their while. Some will even lose money. But there is no reason for
this. The simplicity of Internet Marketing is a beautiful thing.
Unfortunately, most people don’t even realize this.

The two main ingredients that every Internet Marketer needs to
succeed is a solid plan and hard work. That’s it! Success with
Internet Marketing really is just that easy.

The first key to achieving success with Internet Marketing is one
that is often overlooked by people. You have to have a plan. More
than this, you have to have a solid plan. A plan that will work.
How do you come up with such a plan? Well, you do your research and
brainstorm and then you sit down and make the plan. Luckily there
are countless forums and IM products that are on this very subject.
All you have to do is read-up on planning and then get started.

Of course, for any plan to work, you have to have a good idea.
There are already plenty of good ideas out there that you can use.
Simply copy what has been working for other people and then do it
as well or better than the people you’re copying. That is the
simplicity of Internet Marketing.

Now, in order to do anything as well or better than someone who is
already successful, you have to be willing to work. Working hard
should be a given but it isn’t. Far too many people get into
Internet Marketing because they envision themselves working a few
hours a week and making millions of dollars. This simply isn’t the
case. Internet Marketing is very hard work. Sure, some people make
it a level where they are pulling in money without doing much work,
but thousands upon thousands of hours usually preceded this.

If you’re willing to put in the work and you have a solid plan then
you will succeed at Internet Marketing. That is a simple fact that
goes hand in hand with the overall simplicity of Internet
Marketing. And you can simply model your own plan after people who
are already successful. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

The simplicity of Internet Marketing is that anyone can succeed
with it as long as they make sure they cover the two major keys.
The two major keys are to have a solid plan and to work hard. If
you make and follow a solid plan and you work hard no matter what
happens, then you will succeed with Internet Marketing. It really
is just that simple.

It has been more than a month since I joined Tissa Godavitarne ACME People Search engine and below are some results I have gotten so far.

Earnings/Results due to promoting ACME people search engine directly
$0.00 in Clickbank
$5.50 in Reunion
$0.00 in HD Publishing
$0.65 in Adsense

Earnings/Results due to promoting ACME people search engine affiliate program
$250.00 pending commission in Tissa Godavitarne affiliate program
14 referrals for GDI

Taking a closer look at the results, we can see that I am earning about $6.15 from the ACME people search engine. This is from people who use the people search for search. Personally, I am not advertising the people search page directly and is leaving it all to Tissa to advertise for me.

As for the Tissa Godavitarne affiliate program portion, I am getting about $250 in pending commission, this is due to the fact that there is a holding period of 30 days in case anyone cancelled the account.
I also referred 14 referrals into GDI during thie period. For this one, I am promoting the page myself.

Overall, I think the results from Tissa Godavitarne ACME people search engine is pretty good. There is 2 pages which you can promote. The ACME People Search page which bring you commission from Clickbank, Reunion, HD Publishing and Adsense OR the Tissa Godavitarne Affiliatize program which earn you commission from Tissa and GDI. The key to success is to not just rely on Tissa to promote for you. You need to promote your pages as well to get the best results.

Social networking is the new and best free way to get traffic to
your site. It’s the new way to make more money with Internet
Marketing. Sites like FaceBook, Squidoo, and Twitter are increasing
in popularity every single day. Yet, there are many Internet
Marketers who don’t reap any rewards from social networking. Here’s
how to use social networking the right way.

First of all, too many people try to market directly on social
networking sites. This is not the right way to use social
networking sites. Though an Internet Marketer may not be directly
SPAMMING, trying to directly market themselves or their products
will not get any decent results. Instead, every Internet Marketer
should use social networking sites how they are meant to be used:
For social networking. For meeting people and conversing with them.

That sounds really basic, right? Of course you use social
networking sites for social networking. Right? But how many
Internet Marketers actually do this? Not very many.

Using social networking the right way means that you only use these
sites to connect with people. Obviously you connect with people who
are interested in the niche that you are marketing, but all you
want to do is connect with them. Make that your goal. Speak with
people, help people, become friends with people.

Then, when people see you as a friend and as someone they respect,
they just might ask you what you do and then you can tell them.
Still, you don’t want to make any hard sells. You don’t even want
to come right out and try to sell to them. Instead, simply direct
them to your site or to your blog. Give them the choice whether
they want to go there or not. And when they go there, then you?ll
be trying to sell to them without even using the social networking
site.

Do you see the difference? Simply get to know people on the social
networking sites. Establish yourself as someone who is a nice
person and an expert in your niche. Socialize as much as possible.
After all, that’s the entire point of social networking sites,
right? Of course it is.

Using social networking sites the right way is actually a very easy
task to accomplish. All you have to do is get to know people. Just
like if you met someone on the street, you wouldn’t try to sell to
them right away, don’t try to directly sell to people on social
networking sites. Instead, concentrate on getting to know people.
Concentrate on meeting as many people as possible. And then let the
actual sales take care of themselves.
