Posts Tagged ‘Web 2.0 Marketing’

My fellow network marketers and online business owners, friends and fellow bloggers you will have noticed I have been in hiding a bit lately.

The reason is a powerful new project that was promised some time back that will bring the tips and training we have provided over the past 5 years together in one place in one massive resource and provide opportunity for our friends. Well folks that day is getting closer to becoming a reality as we are in phase one of a 3 phase launch of our new resource and the call goes out today to each of you to get involved.

Most of you who know me well have seen me on this path of success driven by web 2.0 tools and resources used daily in my marketing. I was blogging before blogging was cool so to speak and have been touted at times as the free guru offering the value of a e-book library at no cost to those who have followed my post and training. Today we announce Viral Blogging and the creation of a new method to explode your online business.

My Viral Blog is now in pre-launch and the first few lessons are online now free to all blog account holders who join our professional bloggers community. Our training will focus around viral blogging, team building, and massive traffic generation while working together as a well monetized group of professional bloggers earning cash money together.

Don’t worry our business is built around your existing business and will provide tools and training to do even better in any business you are currently in.

Phase 2 is nearing completion in My Viral Business, our online store that will boast professional blog tools, resources, auto blogging software and scripts and some of the best themes and templates on the web today.

Our themes and templates are pulled from some of the best with rights resources on the web today but 95% of all theme offerings will be 100% unique and exclusive to our program created by me personally using Artisteer, the #1 Word Press, Drupal, and Joomla theme creation suite.

Phase 3 will see the creation of my first e-book, a long sought resource my friends and supporters have begged me to do for some time which is currently being written and edited. My e-book on power professional blogging and Viral Blogging concepts will be released as a part of a master bloggers package with some of the top tools and resources that I use to power my own blogs and the new community at My Viral Blog.

This project is packed with valuable training and a majority of our resources are 100% free to the public and monetized by advertising and sales of related resources through our store at My Viral Business. MVB will have a 2 level affiliate program with a free affiliate business and a business member package for even more training that will include some amazing tools and benefits to increase your chances for success in all you do.

To get started today you can sign up for a free blog community account and get started with the first training articles and building contacts at My Viral Blog the professional bloggers community.

You can also pre-join our free affiliate program at My Viral Business.

Time to talk monetized blogs and social media marketing.

As I am sure you have noticed High Tech Affiliate like many blogs is monetized by advertising revenues and combines both affiliate marketing and PPC Advertising from sources like Google Adsense, Adbrite, and programs like our own Velocity Marketer Hosting and outside programs like It’s Your Net and Viral Networks. We deliver some of thes ads through Slayer’s Ad Integration plugin for Word Press and will explain more on that below.

A blog is a social interactive medium allowing posting, reviews, and comments so readers can engage the author.

Social media marketing is the fastest growing segment in advertising because it allows companies to interact with potential customers and clients in an environment that has the full attention of the website visitor. Let’s face it, advertising on TV is usually lost to bathroom and snack breaks. Radio advertising is losing market share to satelite radio with more selection and less comercials. Magazines still offer some value but online editions are growing in popularity, and news paper advertising is losing ground at record numbers as a slanted media is being replaced by online blogs and community pages.

Fact is that paper in the yard is quickly becoming something only seen in history books as most blogs do not charge a subscription. Here is a little advice to newspaper owners around the globe who wish to stay in business. Offer both online and offline editions free and focus on selling more ads to pay for prinitng and delivery.

A prime example would be here in Yuma Arizona where there are nearly 200,000 year round residents but the main newspaper reaches only around 42,000 homes. The White Sheet is free and reaches twice the market and has roughly 400 times the paid advertisers. Deliver a free newspaper to every home and ad prices can be increased because of the greater circulation, and more advertisers will want to advertise with you.

It’s simple website and blog mentality at it’s best. Give free news and information and attact millions of readers, then charge more for advertising and have advertisers lined up begging to hand you money. Stop shutting down and just learn to work smarter.

On to Slayer’s Ad integrtion.

Slayers is a simple to run advertising insertion plugin for Word Press. You simply take the ad code and drop it into a new ad box, select the number of times it should appear on a page, and select the maximum number of total ads on the page and it will rotate the number of banners and text ads you want on your post and pages for you. Slayer’s accomplishes a great task in taking advertising from the sidebar, reducing the banner farm look, and putting offers directly in front of your readers.

If you are on Word Press version 2.7 or above the import and install of the plugin takes a matter of seconds and within minutes you can have ads in live rotation on your pages and out of that side bar area. Face it free is tough to provide when the cost is time and sometimes requires a lot of promotion and advertising. A blog that is not monetized is hard to come by but a good looking blog with smart advertising is worth a mint, fun to read, and will be around for a long time.

High Tech Affiliate

Hey folks, sorry to be out a couple weeks but life strikes and as a result this High Tech Affiliate is looking for a low tech JOB as the economy has made a bit of a impact on my home business. We are also looking at changing some affiliation and hope to soon welcome Ebay Promotions to help you save money on the latest technology and business related services.

As a matter of fact their review team may be among the first to read this post.

We have also added Amazon’s affiliate program to the mix to offer niche books and music downloads, and have tons of content planned as we use these sources and others to get needed information and opinion on products to review here.

Over the last two weeks I have also been at a mad scramble rate to get PCABUnited, our Conservative Blog Host ready for official launch on May 1st 2009. As a business owner I have to tell you this country and our economy are being handled in a bad manner. There is no way that spending money on the building of roads will create the sustained income that business start up grants, job training, and re-establishing a buy American attitude would for the long term financial well being of our nation. PCABUnited has a saying adopted already and that is that our Tea Parties are 365 days a year.

Conservative Bloggers need to join the PCABU as it will be an exciting resource for decades to come.

My main blog has been moved to PCABUnited.com and the domain AndyZeusAnderson.com will be being revamped and re-designed to tie in all my network sites and interest together. Modern Money Machine has been sidelined as I am looking to use a new content aggregator and website builder we purchased to create a directory of articles and information for those looking to get back to work, find a career, or start a business.

I will also be starting soon on a planned project for another domain I have that will provide a real tie in to all we have learned, will learn, and have shared on social media marketing, social networking, and viral business promotions. Again products from Amazon and Ebay tie in greatly to these sites as there are tons of tools and supplies that are mandated for business and in a tight economy every business needs to seek the best possible prices.

Until we meet again,
