How to Get Testimonials for Your Sales Page
17 Apr 2008 at 12:24pm
Yesterday morning, I woke up a hour early with a few ideas that wouldn’t let me go back to sleep. So I got up and got to work, and now I’ve got a bunch of new testimonials, complete with photos, on my squeeze and sales pages. And I’m confident I’ll also get more traffic. Big idea [...]
Dynamic RSS Content In WordPress, Including Amazon.com Affiliate Feeds
11 Feb 2008 at 9:18am
I’ve just released CaRP/WP, a free WordPress plugin that makes it easy to add auto-updating content to your WordPress posts, including keyword-based Amazon.com best sellers affiliate links. Update: It can display YouTube video feeds too. See examples of both below. The plugin uses CaRP, my RSS to HTML converter script (free and commercial versions available), to [...]
Video Tip: A Little Music Goes A Long Way
5 Feb 2008 at 2:16pm
The other day, I shot my first YouTube video, a song for Russell Brunson, who I’m “stalking” on my Guru-Stalker.com website. It’s not the first video I’ve ever made — just the first for YouTube. I learned a little something about video in the process. The sound for the video was pretty flat — just my [...]

New Freebie: “External Pop” Displays On-Page “Popups” Over External Pages
30 Jan 2008 at 10:25am
I’ve just added a new free tool download for subscribers to the White Hat Crew mailing list. External Pop displays what appears to be an on-page “popup” message (a.k.a. “hover ad”) over an external website. It’s particularly useful with affiliate marketing to display your endorsement message (which could contain audio or video) over the sales [...]

How can I put this kindly: the feed readers built into today’s [...]
Your Ping List Of Blog Update Services Is Wrong
15 Jan 2008 at 8:26pm
You know that list of “update services” you configured your blog software to ping whenever you create a new post? If you copied it from the WordPress website (or any of a number of other sites on the web that have the same list) recently, you’ve got the wrong list. When I say you’ve got the [...]
Maximizing The SEO Power Of Your Affiliate Program
11 Jan 2008 at 9:07am
I read a post by Jonathan Leger today about the SEO benefits of an affiliate program, in which he recommends that merchants do a permanent redirect from the page their affiliates link to to their sales page (for example, from http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/?assoc=1 to http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/ — ie., just remove the affiliate ID). The idea is sound, but two [...]
Minimize Risk When Offering Payment Plans To Your Customers
8 Jan 2008 at 1:18pm
A few months ago, I decided to offer multi-month payment plans for a few of my products. The program seemed to be a success as a few sales came on in the plans. But since then, a few customers have, without a word to me, canceled the remaining payments. In PayPal’s system, the customer is free [...]
