The truth is, the web has changed radically in recent times. The internet IS social media and social media IS the internet.

When someone says “social media doesn’t work,” they’re basically saying the internet doesn’t work. Social media is now a term that describes the new internet and how it’s evolved.

Google has lost substantial ground to Facebook this year and they’re fighting tooth and nail to compete with the social powerhouse. With mounting pressure, they had to evolve or face a severe decline.

Below, are the two posts I strongly recommend viewing immediately.

Breaking News: CNN’s Top Story

The blog of Google (with video)

This has VERY SERIOUS implications for you as a chiropractor, small business owner and internet marketer.

The machete is coming down again and a lot of website rankings will plummet. What that means to you is big drop in traffic, new patients and income if you fail to evolve. You must get the knowledge to thrive or you risk sinking like a ship.

Too many businesses fall for short-term, run of the mill strategies that don’t position for the long haul. Don’t be like the average majority. You have to look into the future and prepare for the marathon, not the sprint.

In fact, long-term positioning is the driving force behind many of the valuable products and services I’ve created.

I’ve been teaching chiropractors and professionals reliable and highly effective ways to “Google-proof” their internet marketing in order to build a tribe of raving fans for years.

When technology changes, if you already have an audience, you can take advantage of the disruption.

With this enormous shift by Google, if you’ve built strong “brand equity” in your marketplace by using the social marketing strategies I share, you’ll come-out on top.

FYI… I’ll be holding a Social Media Elite members only teleclass in the next week or two to lay-out the best strategy that you can use to ALWAYS be on the winning side, getting more exposure, traffic and search better Google rankings than competitors. This works every single time.

Top Earners and Achievers ALWAYS Do This

You see, constantly sharpening your marketing skill-set with the best of the best in your industry is what separates the high achievers from the average majority. There is no better way to do this than at a live, face-to-face event either.

This is the #1 thing that I’ve noticed with top earners. They always mastermind and network with those who are at or above the level they’re currently at.

The main reason for this is for rapid business growth, expansion, and short-cuts to increased income. It helps them improve their game fast.

Pros understand the value of their time and speed of knowledge / systems acquisition whereas amateurs think there’s “always tomorrow.”

It’s important to understand that investing in your ability to become MORE effective (in your marketing and in business) is relatively inexpensive, no matter what the upfront cost usually is.

Here’s an example:

I was just at a seminar about a month ago where I paid $2,997 for 2 days to hang-out and learn from some of the TOP direct response marketers on the planet. These guys make millionaires regularly and turn the average millionaire into multi-millionaires.

Some of these seminar speakers are responsible for the late-night infomercials you see on television and some are behind the biggest and most lucrative online product launches to date.

The great thing is, the knowledge I walked away with I can implement instantly. I can already tell the strategies will be worth tens of thousands of dollars immediately to my businesses.

Over the long-term, I estimate in the hundreds of thousands.

The small upfront investment I paid is nothing compared to what applying what I’ve learned will equate to in REAL dollars in my pocket. It happens the same, time and time again.

This is why I’ve personally invested over $85,000 in seminars, mastermind groups, and learning systems in recent years. I’ve made a serious commitment to my real world education.

The amount YOU grow in business income is directly proportional to how much YOU develop and sharpen your marketing skill-set. This is true of any business offline or online.

Not getting the results you want? Start investing more in your business and associate with the best. Marketing is everything and is responsible for how well you do financially.

Do what it takes to connect with the A-players. Success is contagious!

Private seminars and mastermind groups allow you to reach your desired income at an exponentially faster rate.

I’ll use the Michael Jordan analogy here.

MJ didn’t become great by practicing against competitors that were below his skill level. Early-on, he always made it a point to play against those that were better than him on the court so he could raise his game quicker.

Remember this. Everyone eventually pays the price. There’s no escaping it. You can either pay it now with a minimal investment or pay it later with pain, countless hours of wasted time, and costly hard knocks.

This fact is as reliable as the sun rising tomorrow. Why?

The reality is, super successful business owners and entrepreneurs don’t take you under their wing and let you learn their lucrative marketing systems for free. They’ve spent thousands (in some cases hundreds of thousands or millions) perfecting their businesses.

However, a small few will let you clone their income producing systems for a tiny fraction of the cost you’d pay to go to the slow paced “school of hard-knocks.” If you truly understand the value of your time and modeling successful people, you’ll never be afraid to pull the trigger and buy speed.

Until you experience brainstorming and networking with the “who’s who” in your field, it’s hard to even fathom the power. Your homework is to commit to getting up close and personal and start attending live events.

The Painful and Crippling Cost of Inaction

5 Team Members Every Serious Internet Marketer Needs

Chiropractic Marketing Seminar Gets DC’s Fired-up!

If online marketing is just some “hobby” for you, then don’t take the advice in this post. However if you’re serious about rapid and strategic growth into the 5-6 figure per month range, I’d recommend you start building your team.

Face it, there are people who are trained experts that can do things much better than you ever thought about doing in a particular area.

Yes, you can learn many aspects of internet marketing BUT you should be thinking about putting systems (or people) in place to delegate what you learn to have it running 24/7.

The BIGGEST mistake an online entrepreneur can make is trying to be the jack of all trades and not hiring their weaknesses. Below are 5 team members every serious internet marketer should either have as a freelancer (on call) or an employee.

1) Programmer / Webmaster

Having a programmer is so valuable and will save you countless hours of time, energy, and effort wasted on figuring out how to do a website, landing page, or insert a code / script. Don’t make the fatal mistake of trying to figure everything out yourself. Your time is money so guard it carefully.

2) Ghostwriter

Hiring a ghostwriter for freelance work or as an employee is one of the best decisions you’ll make as an online entrepreneur. They can do research, write great articles, blog posts, or even transcribe videos for you. No longer will you have to worry about generating new and fresh content.

3) Link-builder

Links are like votes on the internet. Whoever has the most links from the highest authority web properties usually wins the SEO game and ranks #1 on Google. With a savvy link builder and experienced guidance, it’s basically point and shoot. You pick-off those keywords you’ve researched one by one.

4) Your handy-man or woman

This is a person that’s trained in how to submit the content you create like videos, articles, press releases, and blog posts. They can also handle your customer support side of things or manage your ppc advertising. You might even train them how to edit the videos you create or do keyword research. The bottom line is they’re like your clone and can step-in seamlessly to do what you need.

5) Project manager (PM)

Quite possibly the most essential role for an aggressively growing business online. They are the ones that manage your employees so you can have your hands free and continue doing what you do best… creating and expanding! They should have their finger on the pulse of what is going on day to day in your business. You’ll hit a ceiling on your income if you don’t find a good PM.

Once I assembled my team and the system was built, my online income took a giant leap. I wish I would’ve had these go-to specialists early-on because it would’ve accelerated my business growth.

There’s only so much time in a day and you can never truly manage time. You only can manage activity.

If you’re just starting out, you might not be in a position to bring on a full-time team either. That’s where being able to hire professionals on a freelance, per project basis comes in handy.

There is a systematic strategy and blueprint to researching, finding, and hiring the best outsourcing providers. It’s not always about price. Quality is the MOST important.

I’ve developed a unique ability to be able to find good quality workers for under $3 / hour overseas.

That’s good for some positions but NOT others. It’s important to know when to pay the premium and when not to. If you’re interested in learning a step-by-step outsourcing strategy that’s built close to a million dollar yearly online business, then apply for one-on-one coaching at this link.

As mentioned before, if you’re serious about growing your online business and making exponentially more money, you’ll need stop trying to do everything yourself. Begin to get your team together today!

A Revealing Look Into My Online Income Portfolio

Who’s Your Marketing Accountability Partner?

The Painful and Crippling Cost of Inaction

How to Profit Big in Today’s Economic Crisis

I’m referring to having an accountability partner.

Being involved in a high-level mastermind group has taught me a great deal about this concept. The more pressure I put on myself under the gun, the better I perform and the more results I generate. If I make a commitment to another, I feel obligated to follow-through.

Being held accountable by someone you respect reduces your failure rate by over 90%.

Why?

You see, the average majority of people aren’t afraid to let themselves down. They do it regularly and subconsciously lower the bar in regards to their success.

They tell themselves they’re going to do something (like lose weight) but rarely does the follow-through happen. It’s why most New Year resolutions are a joke.

There’s no real commitment or accountability.

When you commit and promise to another person that you’re going to get the task completed, the stakes are higher and your reputation is on the line.

It makes it very difficult just sit idle because of the fear of embarrassment and pain of disappointment you’d inevitably face.

Many times we could care less about letting ourselves down. However, in most cases, we don’t like to let others down especially when they put their trust and faith in us. This is a very strong psychological influence factor that you can heavily benefit from.

We all know that consistent follow-through is a skill-set that many business owners and entrepreneurs lack. Hence, the reason for never realizing the BIG goals they’ve set.

To the degree you follow-through in life determines your lifestyle quality and the amount of income you’ll generate.

Use this influence factor to your advantage and stack the chips so you always have an an accountability partner and coach.

If you study some of the most successful people on the planet, you’ll see that’s one of the most important things they’ve admitted to doing. Accountability makes you more focused, productive and gets you where you want to be in life much faster.

A Revealing Look Into My Online Income Portfolio

Is Pride Killing your Business?

Chiropractic Marketing SEO Case Study

The Painful and Crippling Cost of Inaction

First, I’d like to address why it’s imperative to have multiple sources of income on top of your chiropractic practice.

The answer is quite simple. It doesn’t matter what type of chiropractor you are or what message you teach, the chances of you practicing for 20+ years is not as good as what you might think.

Here’s what I mean… Being a chiropractor involves physical labor.

Every push / force you put into a patient comes right back at you. Injuries plague our profession and you don’t need to look to far to validate that point.

The second reason you should have additional streams of income aside from your office collections is so you can have more fun in practice again, not worrying about if an insurance company is going to reimburse you for your services.

Lastly, you should master the skill-set of creating extra income streams so you can actually live the life you’ve always imagined. That means different things to different people.

Perhaps more time with the family, more time to travel, or just more freedom overall.

When you focus on providing value to others and offering solutions to common problems your market faces, you have the opportunity to generate a phenomenal, 5-6 figure internet-based income per month if you’re operating with the right strategy.

You can also create automated systems to where practically all of the money that comes-in is passive, too. The goal is to use leverage and find the best way to multiply your time, energy, and efforts while scaling bigger.

Eventually, through being more resourceful, you start working less and making more.

Let’s be clear, this is income ON TOP OF your chiropractic practice that you couldn’t turn-off even if you wanted to…

Now, I’d like to share with you something very revealing to open your eyes at how you can provide value and monetize your specialized knowledge.

This is how I generate a consistent and healthy income from the internet:

Information Products (digitally delivered)

These can be things you can download like reports, eBooks, video trainings, and audio courses.

Personal examples include:

1) The Ultimate Facebook Ads Marketing Blueprint – A 2 hour, content-packed teleseminar and transcript on how to use Facebook Ads marketing (Facebook ppc) to generate an EXTRA $15,000 per month in practice income. (audio and PDF downloads)

2) The DCincome Club – An exclusive club that teaches chiropractors and entrepreneurs that want the blueprint to building highly profitable online businesses through affiliate and information marketing. (monthly video trainings and modules)

3) The 3 Day New Patient Machine – Regarded as the MOST powerful chiropractic email sequence ever developed for getting a fast surge of new patients from your current email list in just 3 days. (PDF downloads)

Information Products (physically shipped)

Things that are physically delivered to your customer like paperback books, video training courses, manuals / workbooks, or CD’s.

Personal examples include:

1) Social Media Elite – This is my flagship internet marketing training product which has conservatively generated over 57 million in revenue for chiropractic practices across the globe in just a few short years. (video trainings, manuals, audio CD’s)

2) Cracking the Cancer Code – An empowering book that helps you understand and apply the core principles of abundant health. This work gives people the power to take control of their health once and for all!

It also exposes the medical cartel and the history of the business of disease while shattering common-held beliefs about the nature and causes of cancer. Currently available on Amazon.com.

Affiliate Marketing

These are products I’ve used, believe in, and recommend to others. In turn, they pay a commission for referrals. This is quite possibly the BEST business model on the planet!

With affiliate marketing, there’s no inventory to stock, no products to ship, no customer support, no payments to handle, and no recruiting others. It’s a marketers dream.

At the moment, I have 14 affiliate websites that pay me consistent commissions monthly. Unfortunately, I won’t be listing them on this blog, though. That’s private and reserved for VIP coaching clients.

Professionally Established Marketing Services

Personal examples include:

1) Automated Social Networking – This is a powerful turn-key, completely done-for-you internet and social media marketing service. It’s the perfect solution for those that don’t have the time or knowledge to implement their own lucrative online marketing campaigns.

2) DC Mobile Text – DC Mobile Text is a one-of-a-kind text message marketing service that provides highly profitable, easy, and affordable mobile marketing solutions to small and large businesses.

3) DCincome Link Building Service – A premium link-building service based EXACTLY on one of my most popular tactics for generating high-quality backlinks that Google loves. All “white-hat” manually created links.

Consulting and Private Coaching

This can happen one-on-one or over the phone. This one basically speaks for itself. The advantage of becoming an in-demand expert and getting results is that you can show others how to duplicate what you’ve done.

Personal examples include:

1) Insider VIP Coaching – A highly accelerated way to short-cut your learning with maximum accountability to realize dramatic increases in practice income and patient volume from harnessing the internet and social media.

This is one-on-one coaching over the phone. This is an acceptance-based program. Must complete an application to be considered.

2) Hourly Private Coaching – Hourly phone coaching concerning any and all topics related to profitable online marketing. Hit the ground running with these personal strategy sessions.

3) Total Immersion Day – The fastest way to creating your own internet empire! This is a LIVE, one-on-one session where you look over my shoulder and I personally help you set-up your profitable online business. This is for those that want to “buy speed,” don’t have time to waste, and want the information now.

You have the option of meeting me here in Atlanta or flying me to your city. You literally learn everything you need to make an EXTRA 5-6 figures / month online in just a few short hours. Yes, you read that correctly.

I believe this is the best investment you’ll ever make, as you learn a skill-set that pays you well for life regardless of what the economy is doing. This program is by application only and acceptance-based.

iPhone Applications and Software

Personal examples include:

1) My first app is in development as we speak…

So, you’re probably wondering why I’m showing you this breakdown of my personal portfolio. Simply put, I want to inspire you as a chiropractor to think BIGGER so you can get your message out to thousands or even millions more people!

The truth is, you have specialized knowledge that could help the masses.

My mission is to help you get it out of your head and into one (or many) of the product types listed above so you can give value to more and have the REAL freedom and flexibility that may have eluded you up to this point.

This post was meant to be transparent and show you all of the possible ways and forms you bring value and heavily monetize your specialty or passion.

As you can see from this post, I have 25 active sources of income that create a strong Parthenon-like foundation. If one pillar were to go down, I’d still have 24 other pillars supporting the structure.

Can you imagine how having the blueprint to duplicate what I’ve done would change your life?

Would you like to have a couple dozen automatic and recurring income streams?

If you’re finally ready to step-up to the plate and build your own internet empire, apply for my one-on-one coaching program at this link. Please read the page carefully, as this private consulting is NOT for everyone.

How Many ATM’s do You Own? (Case Study)

A $7,296 Affiliate Marketing Tip

How to Use Video Marketing to Make More Money

The majority of this skepticism usually comes from business owners over 50 years of age. Too a certain degree, I may be able to understand where they’re coming from.

Being a 32 year old internet success story has had many benefits but it’s also had some drawbacks. But, probably not for the reason you might be thinking. Not being able to sometimes reach and transform the lives of the people you most want is what’s unfortunate.

My family is notorious for this…

It’s like I want to help them live better to their FULLEST potential but they still look at me as little Matthew and have their own sense of pride.

I kind of have the same feeling about much of the older population. Many times, they are the ones that urgently need help the most but their pride sometimes gets in the way.

The unspoken attitude I’ve observed from some goes something like this… “What could this young punk kid possibly teaching me about growing my business so I can live the life I really want?”

I realize it may be hard for one that’s been in business for 20-30 years to learn from a young guy that may appear less experienced on the surface.

However, this is where it’s important to really look at specialization and the age of the marketing technique in question.

You must break-down your business / practice into several different components then, depending on where and how you want to grow, then seek specialists in those areas.

It’s interesting, in the internet marketing space, a large portion of the industry is comprised of those 35 or younger. I’ve met a handful of software developers that are in their early twenty’s that are making over $3,000 / day in the iTunes app store and online!

In the chiropractic industry, I started to get widely noticed for my social media and internet marketing systems when I was just 27. Once I began to reach out to other consultants to attempt to partner, most just blew me off initially.

Coincidentally, most chiropractic marketing coaches were above the age of 50. What could they possibly learn from a young guy jibber-jabbing about “FaceSpace, BoobTube, social huhh?”

The bottom line is this.

Use marketing specific experience and income generated as a measuring stick when deciding who to learn from, regardless of age. I strongly recommend you do the same. It doesn’t matter what market you service.

Experience will vary depending how long the industry has been around, too.

For example, if you wanted to learn how to build iPhone apps and market them successfully, then you’d find someone that was literally involved since the start of the app movement, which is only a couple years old.

It would be unrealistic to look for a programmer with 20 years of experience in mobile apps for the obvious reason.

Do yourself a favor right now.

Put your pride on the shelf and seek-out / learn from the A-players that are making it happen. Do what it takes and don’t be close-minded about learning from someone might be half your age. Results are what matter most!

Controversial Chiropractic Marketing (Video)

Does Your Marketing Guru Suck?

Chiropractic Marketing SEO Case Study

But first, let’s talk about traditional webinars. Every savvy marketer knows that webinars have the highest conversion rates than any other marketing medium online.

By conversion, I mean getting people to either pick up the phone and schedule and appointment or take their credit card out and make a purchase on the spot.

The advantages / benefits of regular webinars include:

1) Builds relationships and trust fast through interactivity. Your audience gets to hear and see you.

2) Teaching is easy for the host and learning is simplified for the viewer. You get the walk them by the hand and do live Q & A sessions.

3) Easy to set yourself up as an expert and a go-to resource

4) Accelerated list building. Webinars create buzz in your local community or online niche making others curious to opt-in to your email list.

5) Extremely high conversion rates (Typically 12% and higher). People feel more comfortable spending money with those whom they know, like, and trust.

Now, just imagine a technology that combines the awesome selling power of webinars with the incredible viral power of Facebook. Put those two things together and you come-up with the widely talked about Facebook webinars application you see below.

I’d like to do a quick run-through so you can see just how powerful this software is. As mentioned above, this is a Facebook application. The cool thing, just like all other apps on the social network, it’s free to get access to.

So, you could email your webinar link to your current or potential customers, you could post the link directly on your Facebook page, or you could run a Facebook ad letting others locally (or in your global niche market) about the webinar you’re holding.

Once they click the link, they see this below:

The great thing is, people are used to seeing apps on Facebook and they trust most stuff that keeps them on the social network. Once the visitor sees this screen above, they’ll click the allow button.

I’d like to point out two IMPORTANT (and very powerful) viral things that happen when a user clicks the allow button on your Facebook webinar application.

Number 1 – Their name and email address are automatically populated in your auto-responder! It doesn’t matter if you have Aweber, InfusionSoft, Constant Contact, iContact, etc… they all integrate with this application.

This is a marketers dream! Capturing interested leads into your funnel is now super simplified.

Number 2 – The application automatically posts on their Facebook wall and in that person’s news feed for all of their friends to see. This rapidly initiates viral marketing, as the average user on Facebook has around 150 friends! See the screenshot below.

Let’s now go to the page you’re redirected to when you click “allow” to gain instant access to the application. When you follow it through, you’re going to see a page like you do below.

I had to break it up into two screenshots since it’s a little bigger. Remember, we’re still inside of Facebook!

On the screenshot above, notice the Facebook “like” and “send” buttons at the top of the webinar screen. You can also send an invitation to your friends.

During your webinar make sure you mention to your audience to share it while giving them an incentive to click the “like” or “send” buttons. Doing so will now invite THEIR friends onto your webinar. I hope you see where this is going!

In screenshot #2 below, notice the social proof of having people in the webinar in the box on the lower left. You can even see my picture in there. It shows you who and how many people are in attendance. If you look the right, you’ll even see a live chat box!

I just want to point out another phenomenal benefit. These webinars can run on-demand over and over. That, my friend, is leverage! You do the work one time and your webinar runs on auto-pilot getting new patients, customers or online sales consistently.

Now, prepare to witness another powerful selling feature of this Facebook webinars system.

If you look down at the final screenshot below, you’re going to see an “add-to-cart” button. When you host your own webinar  with this app, you can have it automatically set to show your check-out link at whatever time you choose!

You’re literally walking an interested person by the hand, step-by-step. Then, you’re telling them practically face-to-face what to do next and making it easy for them to be your customer.

Here are some examples of how you can use this technology.

1) If you’re a chiropractor, you can use it to do health talks to current or prospective patients. You’ll get to spread your message quickly in your local community and have an edge on other doctors locally. You’ll be able to make a strong offer at the end of the presentation, too.

2) If you’re an online marketer, you can use this automated Facebook webinar platform to sell products and services over and over on auto-pilot. Use Facebook ads to drive steady traffic and watch your sales soar to unparalleled heights.

3) If you’re a realtor, you can use this technology to feature houses for sale locally and walk clients through without ever leaving your house!

4) If you’re an author, you can use this app to promote your book on Facebook and include a link to the check-out when your presentation is finished. You might give away the first chapter free, then show them where they can get instant access to the full content after.

The bottom line is that you can use this cutting-edge Facebook app for any market (locally or globally) you want. You now have the opportunity to harness the viral power of Facebook with the selling power of webinars!

This means faster business growth and dramatically higher profits for you.

Ready to see it in action for yourself? If so, visit http://fbwebinar.net to have an insider look at what so many marketers are raving about. IMPORTANT: Once there, make sure you “allow” the application to get instant access.

How to Create a Facebook Sponsored Story

Facebook PPC Ads: Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Clicks?

As YouTube’s popularity began to sky-rocket, I started to get some serious video views. I would place videos in specific areas, piggy backing on trends, movies, and what was popular.

One of my videos, the now infamous “Are High Gas Prices a Scam” vid, had eclipsed 200,000 video views in just two months. It netted me around $5,500 in the initial month it was released, too!

I had another video that was law of attraction related, which garnered 88,000 views. I had several in the make money online niche that were getting me leads, traffic, and calls like nothing I’d ever seen before. They were ranking on the 1st pages of Google for highly competitive terms as well.

All I really remember is that an avalanche of leads were pouring-in daily and my assistant was getting several calls a day. Then, one day the calls stopped and so did the traffic. I was thinking something was a little odd but I didn’t check my YouTube channels for a couple days.

When I did, though, I got an alarming surprise. DELETED for supposedly violating terms of service! Talk about feeling a lightning-quick punch in the stomach. This happened right around the beginning of 2007.

Part of my history, work, SEO, and progress had been completely erased like I was never there. It must have been close to how the Native American Indians felt when Christopher Columbus got credit for “discovering” America.

On one of my YouTube channels, it’s safe to say that I was consistently making an extra $7,000-$9,000 per month just from affiliate marketing. This was due to the solid videos ranking for high traffic keywords.

The other channel that was deleted was a health channel… go figure. No affiliate marketing at all going on there. Maybe some controversy about natural healing and alternative cancer treatments, but that was about it.

Most recently, my DCincome Club channel was deleted. All indicators point to the fact that it was flagged for teaching others how to generate income from the internet. Interesting how that somehow fell against YouTube’s updated terms of service.

Even long-time respected blogger Darren Rowse (of the Problogger fame) had his account suspended and came to a similar conclusion. You can read about the controversial suspension at this link.

The reality is, that I’ll never fully know the answer. When YouTube and Google ban you, they rarely give a warning before the axe drops.

What I cannot fathom for the life of me is that YouTube appears to have centered this mass account termination campaign at only those in the make money niche.

Yes, there are scams BUT some are real legitimate channels that help others with marketing. YouTube does not manually review, then ban… their automated reaper bots carry just leave a path of carnage.

What about all of the hate, violence, and racist accounts on YouTube that hardly ever get banned? Many times, you’ll see those videos shoot-up to the home page and get honors. It makes no sense to glorify violence or hate and punish those that are helping others live more comfortable lives.

One would think that even if you have a history of spending over $77,000 on Adwords, they’d give you a warning. But, no way dude.

What did I learn besides never to trust Google (the owner of YouTube)?

Well, for starters, I learned that it’s NEVER good to pull all of your traffic generation efforts into one or two methods… EVER! If traffic stops, your leads and income stop! Hard lesson to learn but critically important to know.

Google rarely does a manual review of anything. It’s all smart bots and algorithms. Don’t fall into the trap where you think Google or YouTube is the only source of traffic. It’s really just a fraction of what is out there.

Google Adwords affiliates have gotten a taste of this in recent years with the endless Google slaps. When Google bans their account, the affiliates income is literally gone overnight.

I also learned that you absolutely must upload your videos to as many video networks as possible. If one channel is deleted and your blog has video content from it, you can quickly swap it out and reap SEO benefits from other sites.

Not to mention, multiple video listings can dramatically exponentially multiply exposure online. If you’re not concerned about SEO, then you can use Amazon S3 to host videos.

Lastly, I learned to never show all of your cards and leave just one traceable footprint on the web. That’s about as much as I’m willing to divulge on that topic at the moment
