I don’t often promote other people’s products as you probably know – but I just have to let you know about the deal you can get on Hostgator discount hosting tomorrow (Black Friday) from this link:

Hostgator Discount Link

The promotion starts at 12.00 midnight CST on Friday, November 26th. For most of the day you get 50% off your first payment on ALL new Hostgator accounts …

but even better …

… from 5.00 am to 9.00 am CST you get a MASSIVE 80% off (while supplies last – numbers are limited).

Then for the rest of the day it goes back to 50% (still an amazing deal).

That means if you order a 3-year hosting deal at the right time (see below), you get 80% off the whole 3 years! You could actually get 3 years of hosting for just $35.64 TOTAL!

“SO WHAT TIME IS THAT IN MY TIME ZONE?”

If I have my time zones right, you get 80% off all Hostgator products at the following times:

3.00 am – 7.00 am Friday PST,
5.00 am – 9.00 am Friday CST,
6.00 am – 10.00 am Friday EST,
11.00 am – 3.00 pm Friday GMT (UK),
10.00 pm Friday – 2.00 am Saturday Australian Eastern time.

The rest of the day (midnight to midnight CST) you get 50% off.

So that is still a great deal if you can’t get online at the right time for the 80% discount.

Use this link tomorrow (Friday 26th) for up to 80% off, or any time for the regular Hostgator deals:

MY RECOMMENDATION:

If you have been thinking of switching hosts or upgrading to a VPS or dedicated server, now is the time to do it.

I have a reseller account with Hostgator and they have been great … much better than the previous 3 hosts that I tried (even though one of them cost twice as much as Hostgator)!

They transferred all my files and sites from my old host so I didn’t have to spend hours of frustration moving my blogs. (Just ask and they will do this for you.)

All of my PLR sites are hosted with Hostgator, and I’ve had almost zero downtime. This is where most of my income comes from and I have no hesitation in trusting these income-producing sites to Hostgator.

So I use them, and I recommend them:

I will get a small commission if you order through that link. I hope that’s OK with you!

Somebody left a question on this blog the other day asking what is the best article spinner. This is a question I have often been asked over the years because people naturally want to spin the PLR articles that I produce.

I always had trouble replying because frankly, I thought most of the article spinning software on the market was useless. But I have now found one that passes the strict Rosie-Cottis-No-Nonsense-Articles test!

>>> In a hurry: go to Magic Article Rewriter now

To explain why this software is different, first let’s look at the output of a typical article spinner. This is a random sentence from an actual article found on a financial trading blog:

“Once you possess a reliable arranged of inventory trading principles it’s important to maintain them in mind.”

Uuh … what? Your eyes probably glazed over there, so try reading it again.

See how you have to really think about that to make any sense of it? Would you keep on reading through a whole article of that kind of stuff and then click on the link at the end? No? Nor will your website visitors.

I don’t know which spinner the writer used but you can certainly tell that he used one. His original sentence probably said something like this:

“Once you have a reliable set of stock trading rules it’s important to keep them in mind.”

Then the spinning software messed it up. Because of course “stock” and “inventory”, like “set” and “arranged”, are synonymous in some situations, but swapping them in this context makes no sense at all.

This doesn’t mean that spinning is a bad thing. If we were spinning an article in software that would actually let us choose the substitutes for the different words, we could produce plenty of acceptable versions, e.g.:

“When you have a successful set of stock trading rules it’s vital to bear them in mind.”

If it would also let us spin whole phrases, we could change “to keep them in mind” to “not to forget them” and a ton of other things.

So that is what I always wanted in a spinner. I wanted software that would:

1. offer synonyms to save me time, but

2. let me delete the ones that didn’t make sense in the context of my article, and

3. let me add synonyms that I thought of myself (phrases as well as words) AND

4. let me save my own synonyms in a custom dictionary so I could quickly select them again for my next article in the same niche.

And that is exactly what Magic Article Rewriter does. In my view it is the best article spinner if what you want is hundreds of unique articles that actually make sense. You can find it here:

Get Magic Article Writer – best article spinner

Note you have two options on that page: Rewriter alone, or Rewriter plus Submitter. I have the submitter but I don’t particularly recommend that. I use the Rewriter only, then I submit my spin-ready master to Unique Article Wizard for distribution. (You can copy your spin-ready master including token codes into all three boxes in UAW, and it will do the spinning.)

Anyway, that’s my take on the best article spinner situation.

4. Testimonials

Testimonials are almost always a good thing. Even better if there are photos, audio or video on the testimonials.

If customers mention their results from using the product it can be very convincing and may do great things for your conversions, but it may be in breach of FTC regulations so proceed at your own risk. You may consider that the FTC are more likely to go after the product vendor than a mere affiliate, but who knows. I’m talking here about testimonials that say “With this ebook I reversed my diabetes in X weeks” etc. Personally, that wouldn’t stop me promoting the product but I don’t live in the USA. And I still wouldn’t quote those testimonials on my own website, especially for health issues.

Sometimes testimonials don’t add anything and might even put off some buyers. On one of the diabetes product sales pages, a customer said how much he had liked the author’s ebook on acid reflux. As soon as I saw that I’m thinking, “Hold on, isn’t this guy supposed to be a diabetes expert? Looks like he’s just a hack writer after all … I could probably write the thing myself”

5. Commission

I almost didn’t bother to mention this because it’s so obvious, but check the commission percentage and what the price is, so you know roughly what you will get per sale. I’d look for at least $20 per sale.

6. How Many Products Can You Promote?

If all the products are very similar I wouldn’t promote more than one at a time. I would have one primary product that was promoted on my website and in the first autoresponder messages. Then I might switch to promoting a second product in the second half of an autoresponder series. That’s just to catch people who want to buy, but didn’t like the look of the first one for some reason of their own.

In addition you can promote any product that is very different from your primary product at any time (e.g. a diabetes recipe book as well as a method for reversing diabetes). You can promote this alongside your primary product because many people might want both.

If there are a lot of good products in different aspects of the niche (e.g. in the internet marketing niche) you could follow the sales funnel principle. You promote the cheapest one of your chosen products first and then gradually work up to the most expensive.

Don’t do this with products that are very similar, though. You don’t want your buyers to feel they have bought 6 versions of the same thing. Your ideal buyer should be happy when s/he has bought ALL of the products in your funnel because they complement each other perfectly.

7. Reviews

Assuming you now have a shortlist of 2-3 candidates for your primary product, you can ask the vendors for review copies. If you have a relevant website, you could send them a link to show them you are a genuine affiliate. That’s if you are happy to reveal your site.

If you get the ebooks, go through them imagining that you are a target customer. Even without knowing anything about the subject or putting the method to the test you will probably have a good idea of whether your buyers will feel they received good value. Here are some points to consider:

Is it well written?
How clear are the instructions?
How easy would it be to follow the method?
Does it require that you buy other things that are expensive?
Does it convey enthusiasm to keep people motivated?
Does it build trust so you believe it will actually work?

Note that we are not asking here whether the method actually does work – you’re not going to test it. It’s just whether the ebook builds enough trust that you would be willing to give it a try.

Put yourself in the place of the buyer who is looking for a solution. E.g. for a diabetes ‘cure’, would you want to try the method yourself if you were diagnosed with diabetes tomorrow?

If the answer is yes, the customer will probably feel they got good value even if the method turns out not to work for them. But if the answer is no, chances are they will never even try it and will either think they were scammed or will request a refund right away.

It is very important to be sure that anything you promote will offer value to the customer, especially if you have built a list. A bad product can decimate a list of subscribers that you would otherwise have been able to make more money from later.

Many of your subscribers in non-IM niches will assume that you are either the creator of the product you are promoting, or his/her employee. If you promoted it, and they end up feeling scammed, they will think you scammed them.

So don’t skip this step if you are promoting to a list. Either read the product or find some feedback from real customers on forums – not other affiliates!
