Shoemoney Internet Marketing CourseI just received an email from one of the many mailing lists I subscribe to and the person mentioned Jeremy Schoemaker’s (“Shoemoney”) free 12 week Internet Marketing Course. I surfed over to Shoemoney’s website to check it out.

My Online Income System Case Study – Part 2

10

Category : Case Studies, Recommended Products

MOIS Members Area

I ended part one of my review / case study of “My Online Income System” (MOIS) by Kim Hoffman at the point where I first went into the MOIS site. Today, we take a closer look at the insides of the site and give you an update on where I am with this money-making system.

As I mentioned previously and as shown in the screenshot here, the site is laid out well and the color scheme works. The right-hand menu includes options for:

  • Start Here
  • Action Plan
  • Niche Products
  • Videos
  • Recommended

MOIS Menu Links

“Start Here” contains links to what you’d expect such as Welcome, Getting Started, the MOIS ebook, the forum, and support. I think it’s important (obviously) to read the ebook to get an idea of the approach and objectives of the system.

The real ‘meat’ of MOIS is under the Action Plan link. Here, you are presented with an action plan index and 11 days worth of daily action plans. Click day #1 and you are presented with:

  • Background information on what you’ll be doing on this particular day.
  • Individual steps you’ll be following. Both written and video material is included for you.
  • A video review of the day.

The action plan section is one of the best I’ve seen on the Internet. It’s straightforward, it’s simple, and it’s thorough. Plus, it’s in bite-size chunks so you don’t get overwhelmed. Kudos to Kim and gang for getting this right!

The Niche Products menu option leads you to a group of PLR products that you can use to get your first MOIS site up. At the time of this writing, there are 11 products available. I assume more will be added but I don’t know that for certain.

The Videos menu option provides a list of training videos, currently a total of six, which is a little light in my opinion. Topics are pretty high-level such as how to download the product, using the HTML editor, setting up PayDotcom, etc.

The Recommended menu option doesn’t really provide anything useful. I think it’s there to basically make more money by recommending certain products.

The MOIS(2) Approach

First, let me clear up what might be an area of confusion. That is, what is the difference in MOIS and MOIS2?

MOIS, the original product, is focused on making money by selling other people’s products and earning a commission. Clickbank products are the main focus.

MOIS2, the newly revised product, teaches you how to sell your OWN product. They recommend you use one of the included PLR products as a starting point. And, they recommend your first website be in the ‘making money’ category because MOIS includes some backend stuff that could generate more sales for you.

Make sense?

The System – It Ain’t Rocket Science

I know most people are looking for the holy grail for making money on the Internet. They want quick, easy, automated and they only have 1-2 hours at most to work on it.

Folks, it don’t exist!

And MOIS isn’t quick, easy, or automated either. But it is based on sound principles. Principles that you probably already know.

But MOIS2 varies a little in that you will be using one their PLR products as a starting point. Here are the basic steps in MOIS2:

  1. Find a niche.
  2. Get a domain name.
  3. Get a hosting account.
  4. Download a PLR website to revise.
  5. Download the ebook to revise.
  6. Sign up for Google Analytics.
  7. Sign up for Aweber.
  8. Upload website.
  9. Set up PayDotCom account.
  10. Set up payment process.
  11. Set up Google Adwords (optional)

My MOIS Product

I find that I often vary a bit from the instructions when I acquire or sign up for a new product / service / system. My thinking is that I don’t want to follow the 1000s of other sheep in front of me. To be honest, this thinking probably has led to a lot of failed experiments.

With MOIS, I decided to follow the instructions exactly as laid out. I downloaded one of the ‘make money’ PLR products and revised it quite a bit. I also changed all the graphics on the website and the ebook. I wanted this product to be unique, at least in the eyes of the search engines.

Here is what came out at the end: Quick Cash For Difficult Times

I am quite pleased with the outcome. The site was launched about 4 days ago so no sales yet. I am in the process of promoting the site using various methods. I’ve added a blog to the site and have been using Firepow, which I will be talking more about in the future, to update it. I’ve also been running a Yahoo ad campaign.

I will continue to provide updates regarding my MOIS progress.

My Recommendation

Overall, I was impressed with “My Online Income System”, especially considering I got it for something around $20. I feel I can safely recommend MOIS to anyone who has beginner to medium Internet knowledge looking for a viable way to make money online.

7 Day eBook Review – Revised

Category : Recommended Products

Back in 2006 or 2007, I wrote a review of Jim Edwards’ "7 Day eBook" (or How to Write and Publish Your Own eBook in as Little as 7 Days). I’ve noticed quite a few people are still searching for information on this ebook so I decided to do an updated review for everyone.

Here is what I said a few years ago:

I absolutely LOVE the title and concept of this ebook! Has it contributed to my internet success? Nope. Have I even used it? Nope.

Isn’t that pathetic! But let me explain.

I’m one of those people who believe they have a great book (or ebook) inside of them. No, I’m not talking about writing novels. I’m talking about writing a useful "how to"-type of ebook.

And I can’t get rid of this belief inside of me that it can’t be that difficult. That’s why I own at least 3 "how to write an ebook" books.

All I can say about the "7 Day eBook" is that the principles behind creating an ebook are sound.

I own other Jim Edwards products and have read several of his articles and I can say that Jim is an excellent writer. (That’s his professional training so he better be a good writer!)

My recommendation for the "7 Day eBook" is this:

If you currently have an idea for an ebook AND you have the UNINTERRUPTED TIME to devote to actually writing it, then this book is a great resource.

But if you realistically do not have uninterruptable time to write, then why bother messing around with an ebook right now. You’d be better served by waiting until you DO have the time.

That’s my 2 cents worth…..

——-

Okay, let’s take this a few steps further. First of all, Mr. Edwards didn’t skimp when it came to providing information as 7 Day eBook weighs in at a hefty 208 pages, including the bonus interviews at the end.

I hope what I’m about to show you is okay with the book’s authors. Below is the 7 Day eBook table of contents to give you an idea of what is covered:

After taking some time to browse through this fine ebook again, I again can highly recommend it just based on the quality of the work. It contains very good information and if you follow the steps, there is no reason you shouldn’t be able to pump out your own ebook.

I personally give 7 Day eBook two thumbs up and four out of five NetKnuckleheads. Click here to view the 7 Day eBook sales page.

My Online Income System Case Study – Part 1

Category : Case Studies, Recommended Products

I read a forum post recently where the poster said something about how it seemed like there were an awful lot of new products suddenly coming out. I had noticed the same thing. By the way, some people call new products “shiny objects”. As in, we can’t resist all these shiny new objects. We have to grab one like a curious baby. This is exactly why people lose focus on the Internet.

I decided to do a case study using a new product called “My Online Income System” (MOIS) by Kim Hoffman. Actually MOIS is not exactly new having first appeared on the Internet landscape in 2008 as version 1. Version 2 of the product was recently released in 2009. The reasons I decided to do an MOIS case study are:

  • I LOVE trying out new money-making products obviously.
  • I noticed MOIS at the top of several marketer’s recommended products list.
  • Curiosity.

I will be documenting my findings over the next few weeks. I haven’t decided yet if I will post all the results on this blog or share it with my newsletter subscribers only. I’ll see how it progresses and decide then. But you may want to signup for the NetKnuckleHead newsletter now in case I decide to not share all final results on the blog.

So with that, let’s get started with part 1….

Buying At The Right Price (plus a secret)

MOIS Home Page

MOIS Home Page

First, I navigated over to the MOIS homepage to find out the cost of the product. I rarely read the salesletter first so I immediately moved down to the bottom of the page to find the price – $47. By the way, I was doing this from work – don’t tell my boss.

Before I could complete my purchase, something came up (maybe my boss walked in) and I tried to navigate away from the page. As soon as I attempted to, a window popped up announcing a special “Family and Friends” discount to $17. Wow, thanks Kim! I’m not sure if I’m a family member or a friend of Kim’s but I’ll take the discount nonetheless. But there’s more….I got an even greater discount by using a money-saving secret not everyone is aware of. Sorry but this secret is available to Newsletter subscribers only. (Sneaky, huh?)

Let’s continue….

MOIS One Time Offer

MOIS One Time Offer

After I completed my payment for MOIS, I was redirected to a one-time offer (OTO) page. According to the OTO, I could upgrade my purchase to VIP status and receive 5 additional ways of making money from home plus a few other bonuses. The cost to upgrade was $27. I decided to go for it since it would (1) give me more of a chance to make money, and (2) make for a more thorough case study. So my total so far is $17 + $27 = $44 – still less than the original $47 price. But remember my secret method? Well, I actually paid less than $20.

The Course

MOIS Members Area

MOIS Members Area

I made my way over to the MOIS members area after receiving my registration details via email. The first thing I noticed upon arrival was how nicely the site was laid out. The colors are pleasing, the graphics are relevant and smart, and the layout is intuitive. Overall, it is nicely done.

I will end part 1 of the “My Online Income System” case study here. Part 2 will pick up where we left off and will get into my impressions about the subject matter and the level of knowledge being targeted. I will also give you an update as to how I decided to use the course.

BlogSolution Review Update

Category : Recommended Products

Fyi, after posting a quick review of my BlogSolution install (READ IT HERE), I discovered I received my first 3 clicks on the site. Total earnings – $0.20! But that’s not BlogSolution’s fault, that’s a matter of how much the keywords are paying.

Pretty exciting nonetheless!

= = = > UPDATE

I know there are many people who have heard of BlogSolution and wondered if it did everything as advertised. For several weeks I was very doubtful (and disappointed). However, things appear to have turned around. Take a look at my May traffic stats for the domain where I’m using BlogSolution:

30 May 2006 16 471 495 6.00 MB
(It’s May 30th, 10:45 a.m. CST as I’m writing this.)

As you can see, that is a very nice progression.

Google has indexed 113 pages, Yahoo as 2 pages, and MSN has 0.

Although I haven’t received any clicks yet, I’m confident I will. In fact, I’ve received around 10 visitors from Google search results.

Bottom line – it appears BlogSolution is an effective B&P solution for backlinks and traffic.
