At least… that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON’T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is…

*************************************************
YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here’s what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he’ll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you’ve been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I’ll tell you more
about that later. First, let’s talk about the videos
themselves.

If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It’s important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you’ll
agree that he has succeeded.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

VIDEO 1 – INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You’ll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it’s structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn’t come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he’s talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he’s willing to relax, and trust that what you’re
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 – THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it’s important to
pay close attention to this one.

You’ll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 – SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is ’squeeze pages’. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you’ll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you ‘take action’ on. You’ll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you’ll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 – MINI SITE COPYWRITING – PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as…

VIDEO 5 – MINI SITE COPYWRITING – PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You’ll learn how to create
the “secret structure” of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you’ll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people’s shoulders, so
they’ll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your ‘call to action’, and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 – HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is… once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 – HOW TO “GROW” YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective ‘upselling’ techniques that I’ve ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the ’size’ of
your orders. You’ll learn:

* The psychology of ‘upselling’, and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He’ll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you’ve been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you’ve already got a mini site that’s up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these ‘plug and profit’
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 – CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it’s that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you’ve ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you’re going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 – MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let’s face it… it’s not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don’t have to. You’ll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover… and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this ‘instant fix’.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it’s not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 – SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There’s a lot more to it than you’d think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it’s own video.

After watching this video, you’ll understand why you
can’t just have a single front end product, and you’ll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you… completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 – OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You’ll learn
all of Michael’s secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let’s face it, you can’t be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it’s really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 – OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let’s face it… it doesn’t matter how great your
mini site is if you don’t get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don’t get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you’ll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you’re done with this video, you’ll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

DELUXE VIDEOS
*************************************************

Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and
has more content than most 300 dollar home study
courses. And did I mention that it’s free?

If you decide that you want to continue your
education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you
can also upgrade to the deluxe course for a small fee.
The deluxe course contains four full-length videos
that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here’s a breakdown of each video:

*************************************************
VIDEO 13 – DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END
THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT
*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in
itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

You’ll learn how to set up your autoresponder to
automatically remove a person from your prospect list
after he buys, and then insert him into your customer
list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence
will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line… if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you’re out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 – LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He’ll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he’ll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You’ll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You’ll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you’ll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************
VIDEO 15 – MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT
MAKE YOU MONEY
*************************************************

When you think about all the ’stuff’ you can do to
drive traffic to your site, it’s hard to know what you

best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of
any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT
seen before, so you’ll want to pay extra close
attention to this one.

Think about it… if you’re going to put the time in,
and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael
shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense
that you’d want to make the most amount of money

machine!

Warmly,
Maggy Tyger

First of all, I want to explain what value is. Value is when you give your audience something that is worth a whole lot more. As you can see in the following illustration, the value you offer your customers increases with levels. For example, if your goal is to sell them your ebook, then your next level would be audio. Consumers will buy the same thing if it is presented differently.

 Sometimes they don’t have time to sit and read, or they like the ability to take the audio with them like on their mp3 player. So they will buy the audio version. Then you help the consumer through each level all the way to the top. You do this by giving them valuable information, when this information goes up the level it is more valuable.

MaverickMoneyMakers Club is a very valuable tool for me as it is helping me go through the levels as well. Currently I am learning how to create audio and video on my computer. Soon I will be able to help you even more with the videos I will be creating.

What many customers do during stressful times is take less risk. They don’t always go for lower prices but lower risk items. Brands they already know and are familiar with.

What we, ourselves understand is that selling during stressful times is about risk. Customers will often buy much more expensive items during these times if they perceive them as less risky.

In keeping this in mind, I strongly suggest that instead of lowering your prices; eliminate the risk the customer would be taking. In your salespage or advertising copy eliminate the customer’s nervousness and any risk associated with buying your product or service.

These times are tight for companies too. Pursue twice as many customers and eliminate the pressure by reducing the sales push. For example, if you are using email advertising, buy a package with a much bigger audience, but zero in on half of those leads.

If you take a look at successful companies that prosper during stressful times, they are more focused. They chose fewer opportunities reach more people and put more resources to their products and in return they outsell their competitors and they win.

In reality you can only afford to pursue opportunities you know you can win. What I’m saying is, pursue fewer opportunities and increase your benefits and resources for the customer. Focus on the ones that you know you can win.  The sure bet.

Let’s recap, eliminate the pressure you would put on your customers, eliminate their nervousness about buying your product or service, and focus on the sure thing – the opportunities that have worked for you before. If you do all this, then you too will succeed.

            Some of you have read article after article about how to make money online, have gone through all of the necessary steps and are still not able to pay for your own gas. Don’t worry or lose heart just yet: online money making is generally a self-sustaining business and, as such, will take time to build. You might find a handful of writing or programming gigs here and there at first, but eventually you will find a rhythm and, once and for all, be able to wave that terrible phone service job you’ve been working since college a final “good riddance”.

            The get-rich-quick guys shouldn’t deter you from your course. The ads claiming to make you into a millionaire from clicking on some surveys or reviewing ads are really working you towards their own ends and, as such, should be avoided. There are, on the other hand, a handful of legitimate work-from-home and online writing search engines and job boards that get good results for the aspiring online moneymaker. That’s really just to get you started, of course, but eventually you’ll find your own way.

            Of course, you might be the sort of person who’s just looking to supplement your income with online ways to make money. Lucky you! You will, after having read this, learn to avoid these click-to-pay sites and look to places that have genuine need of content. There’s also the eBay route, but that’s a long slow building process as well, and at least this particular writer has no idea how you’d start seeing profits off of that.

            So, yes, there are multiple ways to make money online, but you have to keep in mind that nothing comes quickly. Also note that, considering there is such a wide array of choices in terms of what you can do to make money online, you should carefully consider each that you find to see whether there’s a match for you.

            Legitimate opportunities do exist, though. Most pay far less than a full-time income, though, so those of you seeking to make side money would probably be best off. The people who are making full-time money online are involved in multiple, ongoing ventures. They’re also willing to put in the time necessary to build their portfolios and make connections within the industry. Building up these relationships among websites who need their writing can take some time, so be aware that your online moneymaking ventures won’t tend to see significant success for a few months of steady work.

            You should also keep looking for more ways to expand your skill set. I know that for the last two years I’ve lost online writing jobs because I didn’t know enough HTML for certain blogs. Luckily, HTML (basic HTML) is easy to learn and master. You’d stand to learn as much as you can about the requirements that these online companies have– the ones who need lots of content, at least– so that you can both build a marketable portfolio and be more readily useful to the companies who ask you for sample work to begin with.

            Many companies are working multiple sites, as well. For these it helps the prospective content provider to know what web sites a given tech company runs so that you can market yourself to more projects within the umbrella of the tech companies’ different sites. Good luck!

            Once you’ve gotten over the get-rich-quick phase and have moved onto something more realistic, like online writing, you’ll find that the work can be very rewarding. You have to spend at least as much time looking for work as you are working, but usually that’s part of the fun. There are some very supportive networks out there of people just like you who are either unable to work in the conventional workforce or, if you’re anything like me, incompatible with the prospect of having someone less intelligent than you telling you what to do. But do keep in mind that online moneymaking—freelancing, eBay auctioning, ad revenue creation, etc.—will take a lot of time at first and, as such, isn’t necessarily for everyone.

            Some folks just aren’t independent enough and need constant supervision. Some folks need more consistency in knowing that their money will arrive at a fixed given time every week. To those of you for whom this applies, not to worry: there are sites and services that set up agreements with home workers to do a certain amount of articles or programs per week and are paid accordingly. It just depends on the arrangements reached between the contractor and the company for a given project or period of time. There are also arrangements wherein a specific company might be looking for a virtual assistant or a long-term distance employee, during which all of the conventional payment rules would apply. You have to look a little harder for those opportunities though. Good luck!

One of the best tips to stay away from a scam and how to tell it’s not real is if it’s too good to be true, it is. People’s eyes will light up when they see promises of money flowing into their pockets—so much money they won’t know what to do with it. This is a classic way that a scammer will attract their prey. It works—heck, it’s easy to want to have all the money in the world. The key is not believing everything that you read.

Now onto a real business that you can do from home. These opportunities are ideas that will not get you rich quick, but have you earning money. Once you have built up the business you may be able to switch to it full-time, but at first you should try it part-time. Think of it as extra money in your pocket to begin with.

Web Design

Web design is a big industry right now. Everyone wants a website created, that includes many businesses, large and small. Make sure that you create a portfolio of what you have accomplished, and create a website that shows your skill. There are many places online that show freelance opportunities for freelance web design. In most cases you will need to bid on these projects, but if you get one and do a great job your advertising will be done by the clients!

This is called word of mouth advertising, and it’s simply the best way to have people learn about your business. There are many people who will be doing similar work, so don’t become discouraged if you don’t receive a lot of work at first. Also keep in mind that for the first few projects you may need to bid a bit less than you normally would. Bringing in clients, and then wowing them with your skills will lead to more work and better wages!

Another tip to avoid being scammed is to not be rushed into decisions. If you are being told that you only have ten minutes to make a decision of whether you want to try a home-based business opportunity, don’t take it. This is a classic way that a scammer will catch people in their traps, because many people will just agree to it since they feel they may miss out on a great opportunity.

Writing/Virtual Assistant

Moving on to yet another home-based business that will work for you. If you have skills and can write, especially something like a resume you can also make money. Though it’s not going to get you rich quick you can make a nice residual income this way. People are willing to pay at times up to $400 for a quality resume. After all, what you have placed in that resume may well get them a dream job. Make sure that you have a few sample resumes for people to look at—it will help bring in more clients. Again, once you have completed a project and done a good job, they will refer others to you and come back for more quality work.

Going along with the office type jobs, another home-based business idea is one of being a virtual assistant. Again there are many job boards out there that will have these posted so you can check them out. This is one of the faster growing home-based businesses out there, and a great opportunity for you to start part-time and as your clientele list builds move up to a full-time home based business.

Affiliate Marketing

Yet another fast growing internet business is that of affiliate marketing. These programs offer you the chance to make money online by selling different services or products. Affiliate marketing is basically just becoming “affiliated” with a product owner and agreeing to promote their products for a share of the profits. This means if you sell a digital product, like an ebook, you can make 50% of the price (or whatever percentage is agreed upon). This is a great way to make money since some of the affiliate programs pay out a lot of money per sale. You should be careful since some of the people in affiliate marketing might promote unethical methods, or “black hat” techniques (stay away from these!) Whitehat techniques are the way to go since they are ethical and you run no risk of getting caught and losing your money you earned.When looking into a business or product to promote as an affiliate, you are best to research a bit on the company and goods that are going to be sold or promoted.

In line with the above idea, is a business in which you help others market their websites. To accomplish this you can promote on blogs, social bookmarking sites (like Digg or Reddit) or even email marketing. Placing blog comments on different sites to drive people to their website (using your affiliate link or getting paid directly) creating more business for them, and paying you a certain rate.

In closing you can see there are actually real opportunities for home-based businesses. But they are not get rich quick schemes and yes you will have to work pretty hard at times. There are no easy ways to earn a million dollars and be able to sit around a pool most of the day. Any promises to live a life of luxury off a home-based business right off the bat are just a myth—for the most part. However, you’ll be helping the scammer who thought up the idea to get more money if you fall into their trap (i.e. the “get rich quick” schemes). There are many websites out there that make note of these common scams and let people on the internet know about them.

When you start looking into a home-based business its best that you visit one of these sites to make sure that what you are looking at is a legitimate opportunity. Don’t waste your hard earned money (or your time, for that matter) supporting someone else—make sure that the home-based business you are pursuing is real.

Hopefully some of these ideas will help a few people out there be able to start their dream of working from home. Good luck to those individuals who are not afraid of a bit of hard work to pursue your dreams! You can do it!

Technorati ranks your blog, blogs with a higher blog ranking is considered to be one of the popular blogs and one of the best blogs in that category.

The more blogs that link to you, the higher your blog ranking and blog authority will be. The higher your authority number the better your position is.

Blog Ranking is a ranking of how far you are from the highest authority blog. Remember, the smaller the number of rank the better you are in the rankings. In this case, the closer you are to the highest ranked. To increase your blog ranking and authority I found this helpful article.

With everything that Technorati offers, I can honestly say I love it. I will be adding more of my blogs to Technorati.

This is a valuable tool for serious bloggers. You can scan through the website using their search engine and be able to keep on top of your competition, see what is popular, or even check out how other bloggers are using their tags effectively and come up with some ideas of your own. You can also syndicate your blog, find other blogs in your niche, and exchange links with other blogs.

This is a great way to come up with ideas for ebooks, and articles for your blog. You can also make money by checking out the most popular blogs and see what private advertising they use on their blog.

There are two things I highly suggest you do:
