Hello and welcome to Issue 16 of my 60 Minute Affiliate Newsletter.
Howdy from Colleen Slater 
If this is your first issue I hope you enjoy it. I strive to create a newsletter that’s informative and cuts to the chase and is interesting to all level of internet marketers, especially those who are yet to reach their marketing goals.
The Best And Worst
There’s no doubt I’ve been through some trials which were VERY TOUGH and CHALLENGING. Unfortunately this happens to all of us, there are people who are in a lot worse positions than myself and that is always at the forefront of my mind.
The difficulty with my most recent obstacle is that it was close to the bone and secondly it lasted quite a few months. I was not able to devote much time at all to my internet marketing businesses during this time. It was a matter of simply doing the best that I could and coping with only what I could cope with at that time.
It’s always important to listen to what our minds and bodies are trying to tell us. Sometimes we don’t listen as well as we should.
I am incredibly grateful that even though my effort was virtually nil for three months that my online income was not affected.
This is not what I expected. Considering I do very very little adwords or pay per click I honestly expected it to plummet because I mainly rely on free traffic methods to create my income.
So why did my income stay the same?
- I think because of the strong foundations that I built very early on
- Because I cross promote across a range of niches, rather than have all my money in one pie
- Because I focus more on affiliate marketing rather than just my own products (that meant little customer support was needed during this time).
- Maybe the universe was just being kind :O)
My upcoming goals: 
I took a quite drastic step for me this month, June, and have taken four weeks leave from my "day job".
Why?
- I need to get my mind back on track on where it needs to be
- All members of my family need me though they’ve not said this
- It was time for a temporary sea change for me
- I recently joined the gym and have a personal trainer three times a week in order to strengthen my mind, body and spirit and I wanted to take full advantage of that this month
- I wanted to see how my income would be affected if I were to work on my online businesses for 5-6 hours a day instead of the usual ‘60 minutes’.
What Did I Learn Over The Past Few Months?
Well, normally I’m someone who likes having complete control of my ‘flag ships’ and that’s why I generally do no outsourcing at all.
However, in the midst of my recent trauma I got recommended a resource by my good mate Jeremy Kelsall (if he ever gives you advice by the way, always listen to it)….and this was an outsourcing website. Here is the link to the website that I’ve started using quite extensively.
Here are my tips for using this outsourcing website:
- be as detailed as possible when posting your jobs so nothing is left in doubt (I have mainly used them for article writing, creating social bookmarking accounts at this stage)
- don’t hire someone straight away, communicate with them via messages/emails etc so you can get an idea of how well they speak english (many people are from overseas)
- don’t hire someone who requires an upfront payment of some kind unless they’re really the best person for the job (this payment is NOT refundable)
- i’ve had best results where i’ve not offered an hourly rate but a budget for the whole job, whether it’s $50 or $300
- keep track of people who are working on what tasks and stay on top of their projects
- if you are outsourcing blog posts/articles get them to email you their first articles to you so that you can see if they’re up to scratch (if they can’t write english well just end the assignment there and don’t pay anything) or to help them follow the guidelines you’ve set.
I have to say that i posted the same jobs on elance and the bids were over the roof compared to the outsourcing site that I use now. Here is the link again if you are interested.

How To Come Up With Exciting Article Titles…
I actually stumbled upon this idea one day over the last few weeks while doing some research for other things. I also get stuck coming up with exciting article titles and then I had a light bulb moment. I thought to myself – why not go do a search for the main keyword and check out the adwords ads for the same keywords. Talk about inspiration. These guys are paying heaps to display their ads and some of the best ad copy is there to inspire you. Try it out yourself. It will really help you when you’re stuck.
Have Online Expertise? Take it Offline and Make Loads of Cash! 
There is a relatively new trend that’s been sweeping through Internet Marketing recently. It involves Internet Marketers taking their online knowledge and using it to make money from offline businesses. So if you have online expertise then you should take it offline and make loads of cash.
Though most Internet Marketers have been aware of how the Internet works and all the ins and outs of marketing online, most offline businesses don’t have a clue. This is especially true of local businesses. To many of them the entire Internet is a mystery. And to almost all of them, marketing on the Internet is a concept that is about as clear as the theory of relativity.
However, small businesses can really benefit from an online presence. And you, the online expert can help them get more customers and make more money.
There are two main ways that you can use your online expertise. You can offer to build a Website for local businesses and/or you can offer to help being more traffic to their Website.
Obviously if the business already has a site then you won’t offer to create one for them. You would simply want to offer to bring more traffic to their site by optimizing their content and by using some basic SEO tactics.
If the business doesn’t have their own site then you can offer to put one up for them. You can then upsell them on optimizing their Website. You can even offer to be in charge of hosting and maintaining their site. This will make you even more money.
You can either visit local businesses in your area or you can simply write a form letter and blast out the letters to all the local businesses in your area. You would simply have to do a little research to see which businesses already had a Website and which businesses didn’t. Then you would have one form letter for the businesses with a Website and for those without. You can even include in the letter that you will be calling to follow-up the letter in a few days.
That’s just how easy it is to take your online expertise and take it offline and make loads of cash. Within a few days you can literally make thousands of dollars. All you have to do is write a couple different letters with solid copy and then follow up with a friendly phone call. Before you know it, you’ll have a booming offline business.
6 Simple Steps To Improve Your Seo Rankings In The Shortest Time Possible
In order to get as many visitors as possible you want your site to rank well with search engines. Here are 6
tips to improve your search engine ranking.
Tip #1: Create a lot of Links
There are three types of links. They are incoming links, outgoing links, and internal links. You want to create as many incoming and nternal links as possible. In other words, you want links from outside your site to be pointing to your site. You also want links on one page of your site pointing to another page on your site.
The more incoming links (also known as backlinks) and internal links you have, the better your site will rank with the search engines. Backlinks are particularly helpful to search engine ranking.
Tip #2: Keyword Density
On all the content you put on the Internet you want your keyword content to be between 1% and 2%. Keywords are words that are searched for a lot that you want to target so that your site will show up when those words are searched for. A keyword density of 1% means the keywords would show up 1 time for every 100 words.
Tip #3: Name Your Pages with Keywords
To improve your search engine ranking you should also name each page on your site using a keyword or keyword phrase. This will automatically help that particular page rank better with the search engines.
Tip #4: Use Longer Versions of Keywords
Many search engines look at the roots of words and count them when a search is performed. For example, when diet is searched for, the word dieting will also be counted. . Therefore, you should always target longer keywords and not just the root of the word.
Tip #5: Use Less Popular Keywords in the Body of Web Pages
Obviously you want to target popular keywords. However, you should also sprinkle less popular keywords throughout the body of your pages. These words have less competition and you can rank well for
them while you are actually targeting more popular keywords.
Tip #6: Stay Away From Link Farms
The final tip to improve your search engine ranking is to stay away rom link farms. Don’t pay to have thousands of incoming links created for you. The search engines will see this as link spamming and they’ll stop ranking your site altogether.
There you have the 6 tips to improve your search engine ranking. When you follow these tips you will get a higher ranking for your site. This will bring more traffic to your site and will lead to ore money for you.
Visualizing To Make Your Dreams Come True
Whatever your dreams are, you can make them come true. Visualizing can help you to see what can be and make your dreams become reality. Here is a great way to make visualization work for you.
Decide on a goal that you have for yourself. Next, daydream a full-color movie in your mind of how your life willbecome when you have realized your goal.
If it is possible, get pictures of things that will help you with your goal. If your goal is to have a better
relationship with your children, put several pictures of you and your children up from when you are having goodtimes together in front of you. If your goal is to have more money, find pictures of the things you want to get one once you have acquired the money.
Make a tape recording being completely positive, describing every detail, of what is happening to make your goals become a reality. Describe how you can handle things positively and fully to achieve your goal.
Write out the goal and everything that needs to be done in order to achieve it. Make sure that you put down each step it will take to make your goal become a reality.
Next, sit in a comfortable chair, listen to your type, and read your goal description. Do this at least once or twice a day for three weeks. It has been said that it takes 21 days to change a habit, so make sure that you stick with doing it every day for three weeks.
Whenever you feel yourself going back to your old ways. Take out your tape in your list again until you have
reached the goal.
Well, that’s the issue. I hope you have found it useful and helpful. I look forward to helping you make money online, even if it’s your first $.
Have a wonderful month….and I’ll keep you posted on the launch of firepow 2.0 coming soon. Feel free to ask any questions or leave any comments below from what i’ve shared in this issue….
