Today, I want to introduce a new, ongoing series for this blog. I’m calling it “Guru Popcorn” and it’s all about Internet marketing Gurus and their big product launches. As I’m sure you know, the Internet marketing space sees big, elaborate launches for products in the $2000 price range on a regular basis. While I have never been a customer for these products, I really like to follow the pre-launch process and see how marketers build up hype and excitement (and they need to build up a lot of hype and excitement to convince people to part with two thousand bucks).

I also happen to believe that you can probably learn more about marketing by observing and analyzing what the successful marketers are doing than by buying their magic pills. Guru Popcorn is about following the big product launches, but instead of frothing at the mouth with anticipation for the product, we will watch, be entertained and learn from these marketing spectacles. It’s a bit like going to the movies, really.

Read on to see my run-down of one big launch that’s going on right now.

This is going to be a short review. Not because the product reviewed is small or simple, but because it’s such a total no-brainer. You don’t even really have to read my review, because this (formerly) $297, high-quality product is now yours for the taking. For free. So, you can just check it out for yourself, if you want to.

Quite honestly, I think this may very well be the best free offer I’ve ever seen in the Internet marketing space. Read on to get the details.

My guest for today’s interview is Kevin Riley from the Product Creation Labs. Kevin is an experienced offline and online entrepreneur who has a reputation for creating excellent, step-by-step instructions on all sorts of online marketing related topics. He also has several products teaching the different aspects of creating your own products and promoting them online.

In the interview, we talk about why he thinks even complete Internet marketing newbies should consider making their own products. He also shares some very interesting insights into the importance of approaching online marketing with the right kind of mindset and shares some tips on how you can avoid getting side-tracked and losing focus – a mistake many beginners fall victim to.

How can I make money online, fast? This question, or similar questions, have been popping up in my inbox occasionally. And go to any online marketing forum and you’ll doubtless see a couple of threads on this topic, as well. It seems that a lot of people get initially interested in online marketing because they are in a financial pinch and hope the Internet can get them out of it.

Below is a video in which I talk about two methods for making almost guaranteed, and fast, income online.

Don’t worry, though. This is still RQR and therefore still a hype-free zone. Video may not be quite what you expect, however…

Just a quick update: SEOLinkVine has now been closed for new members. It’s still possible to sign up for free and add your own sites to the network and receive free content. However, the link-building portion of SEOLinkVine, the part you have to pay for, is no longer open for new members.

Three things I want to let you know about this:

1. For anyone who has already joined SEOLV, I have something very valuable for you coming very soon. Also, it will be free, so be sure to check back here and/or subscribe to the feed.

2. For anyone who wanted to join, but missed the chance, I also have something for you guys in store. I’ll be publishing a link-building strategy that you can follow for free and that will give you similar or even better results than a system like SEOLV (depending on how intensely you use it, of course). This will not be free, but I will be offering it for a very reasonable price.

3. For everyone on the lookout for alternatives to SEOLV, I’m trying to get the chance to review other, similar systems like Article Marketing Automation, My Article Network and Unique Article Wizard. I can’t guaranee anything, but I’ll see what I can do. I’d love to do a proper roundup of the different alternatives and show you the actual stats and numbers, so you can decide which network is the best for you. If I can make it happen, I will. I just hope the owners of the networks will be cooperative.

That’s all for now. Cheers,

Keyword research forms the foundation of any kind of online marketing endeavour. Without proper keyword research, a marketing campaign is dead in the water.  No wonder then, that advanced keyword research programs come in many shapes and sizes.  This post is a quick roundup featuring three of the most popular keyword research tools: Market Samurai, Keyword Blueprint and Keyword Elite 2.0.

Read on to see the roundup video and a short summary for each contestant.

This post is just a quick and well deserved shout-out to Tobias Bäthge, the creator of the WP Table Reloaded plugin. I’ve just implemented this plugin for my Internet marketing product reviews page.  That’s the page where I keep an overview of all the products I’ve reviewed so far. Before I used WP Table Reloaded, that table always looked a bit messy, and keeping it up to date was a hassle. If you go check it out now, you’ll see that it’s very tidy and neat looking and it’s now very easy for me to edit and update.  The tables WP Table Reloaded creates can even be made sortable and searchable.

I don’t really want to go in-depth on this, so let me just say: if you use or want to use any kind of tables on a WordPress site, do yourself a favour and get the plugin.
