Turnkey Internet Business Startup on a Shoestring

For quite some time now, I've been noticing Stone Evans' Plug In Profit Sites cropping up around the net. I thought about picking one up a while back, but never got around to it until a few days ago.

Since it's brand new, I have no idea how well my Internet Business Information site is going to do, but it sure was a snap to get set up and running.

The sites have a new look as of 2005, and I'd have to say they are much-improved over the version that was around for several years. Not that the old one was bad, by any means, but I think the newer ones have a more professional "skin".

Stone has upgraded the program offerings, and now links new site owners to some of the biggest and most profitable affiliate programs on the net. The site is fully customizable, if you know a little HTML, so you can add more links to your favorite programs, or change around some of what comes to you right out of the box.

There's a nice support center that comes with the program. That was a revelation to me, as I had no idea it was even there. It's actually a fairly complete starter kit, even for someone who has no prior experience with internet marketing. There's a 30-day guide that gives you something to do nearly every day to get up and running.

In addition, there are numerous tutorials and links to excellent resources, and a hefty bunch of "free bonuses" that come with your site. The site also comes with a lengthy e-mail marketing series, and you're set up with a free account at one of the premiere online autoresponder outfits, so you're all set to go there, too.

This program is remarkably complete, and comes with free installation to your server. You are required to host it at Host4Profit, which is a little more expensive per month than I'm used to paying, but it's not a bad deal, since you can make money with it, and the site itself is free.

I'll let you know how my new make money online site does, but in the meantime, have a look at mine, and think about grabbing one of these eye-catching little gems.

I have quite a few other sites, but this one gives me a nice portal site from which to market all of my favorite affiliate programs.

Even experienced marketers can use another portal. Beginners who want to learn internet marketing will find having one of these portal sites an excellent starting point.

Killer New Affiliate Marketing Tool

It's not too often that I find something that really impresses me, but recently I did.

Are you making any money with affiliate programs? More to the point, are you making money with your blog or online newsletter?

No matter what you just answered, I found something that can make your next check much larger!

It's a great way to subtly monotize a blog or web page, and create some income potential from otherwise "dead" marketing space.

And the best thing is that it isn't every going to cost you anything...

It's called Affiliate Power Ads. They work like Google's Adsense, but instead of earning a few cents per click - you can earn up to $100 and monthly residual commissions from every click.

Check out that right sidebar on this page. See those images down towards the bottom?

They're affiliate links. Every time the page is viewed, two new ads appear in those boxes. If someone purchases through the ad, I earn an affiliate commission.

Now, I'm not making a fortune from this, because the click through rates are low, and purchase rates lower still.

But the revenues justify having those ads there, and they don't cost me a dime!

Check out this new affiliate marketing tool.

It will take you 5 minutes to set it up, but you can earn commissions for a lifetime.

I'll be reviewing this tool in more depth once I've had a few months experience with it. I'll tell you right now, though, it's cropping up on all of my websites, and on all of my blogs ...

Internet Marketing Blog Directory

Well, I've just started a new Internet Marketing Blog Directory.

I'm taking the opportunity to announce it on all of my blogs and websites.

The directory is pretty much empty at the moment, so I'm particularly interested in getting some high quality listings.

If you have a blog related to any topic in the general field of internet marketing, affiliate marketing, or making money online, please submit it to the directory.

We ask for a reciprocal link to the directory, but that one link entitles you to list as many marketing related blogs as you want to. (no duplicate listings, please)

I personally review all submissions, so this will be a human-edited directory, with no off-topic entries.

We have 20 categories in all. Work at Home Moms Blogs. Online Advertising Blogs. Affiliate Marketing Blogs. Product Development Blogs, and many more.

The list is quite extensive, and, I think, relatively comprehensive.

I hope you'll take a moment to visit the directory and submit your blog. We can also use any publicity you care to give to the directory.

I've also started a blog that will be the official blog for the directory, and for my soon-to-be-published ebook.

The new blog relates to using blogs for internet marketing. I hope you'll check it out, and perhaps find it useful.

To your success!
