Will You Turn Up Your PC Speakers for Net Audio Ads?

I wanted to jump in late December early January to tell you about this new form of Contextual Advertising know as Pay Per Play or Net Audio Ads or both. However, there was so much controversy that I held off till all the points were aired… in text that is not aurally:-)

It seems this new media is causing some people to rebel and denounce it saying, “Net Audio Ads will annoy my visitors and they won’t come back!”

While that may be true for certain people it has been repeatedly said by the Pay Per Play Marketing Director “Charles Heflin” of SEO2020.com that the audio ads network has actually been testing these ads for approximately 2 1/2years and the “dropout ” rate from test websites were very minimal…therefore proving that Audio Ads weren’t a problem.

The next complaints came from former affiliates to the company running the program Voice2Page…who had issues with their affiliates. To explain this better than myself, I have produced a copy of a comment made by Charles Heflin himself :

QUOTE by Charles Heflin:
PPP is a new opportunity and is different from a program that NetAudioAds promoted a few years back… This is not the same program.

If the company doesn’t pay then PPP will fall faster than it climbed. The PPP publishers made the program what it is and if they don’t pay then they won’t have a product to sell to advertisers because all their publishers will jump ship.

One of the many reasons I agreed to head the marketing is because of the vulnerability of their position despite their history. In other words, it would be foolish for NetAudioAds to give up millions of dollars in recurring monthly income as a sacrifice in favor of not paying publishers their commissions. I take comfort in this.

I am just a marketer for the product like you… PPP is just one of many projects I am involved in. If they fail to pay then I could easily turn the PPP forum into a class action forum. They know it and I know it… So in a way I offer a cushion of safety against such a non-payment scenario occurring.

I hope any PPP affiliate that reads this understands that without you, there would be no PPP so if NetAudioAds fails to pay then they will be out of business and into to class action so fast it will make your head spin.

:ENDQUOTE

That was the comment that made sense and reassured me of what I believed back in December.

What people need to realise is that the world constantly evolves and progress happens in many different shapes and forms.

Television Ads are getting “killed” by DVR’s (digital video recorders) and viewers taking a trip to the bathroom or kitchen for drinks during commercial breaks. The advertisers are trying to regain the consumers they had back in the 70’s and 80’s…who had no choice but to listen to the ads and sing along with the slogans, (I admit some were quite good!).

Where are the Consumers of TV ADS?

On the Internet surfing, shopping online, chatting, socializing, learning and earning, that’s where!
You know it’s true, so where do TV Advertisers need to advertise?

That’s right…on Websites. that includes Blogs like this, social networks that allow audio ads, personal, business, info, radio, video websites. In fact anywhere where people are happy to let a short 5 second Audio Ad play without flipping their lid and clicking off to some other site.

My advice, if you think this medium will take off, then join it now and ADD, not replace, but ADD Audio Ads to whatever kind of monetization you have on your website. Then you can become a core partner for life and bring in the other 108 Billion websites out there who also want to ADD to their incomes.

The cut off for becoming a core partner is 1st. February 2008. After that date you can continue to add website owners to your group.

You get 25% of ads played on your site, then as a thank you for introducing other websites you get 5% of their websites plays. That 5% by the way is what the advertiser pays…NOT 5% of Their 25%…ok. Oh and you also get 5% of the people they bring into the program too.

All in all it’s a brand new way to earn a set and forget residual income, from your website and the websites of those you introduce.

The people who don’t like it, won’t sign up, and will probably turn their PC or MAC speakers OFF!

Well there you have it, I told you, now you can decide if it’s for you.

Are you considering attending an Internet Seminar?

If so and you haven’t been to one before, I can say from my own personal experience that it’s a darn good experience.

But let’s backtrack a tad. You get your invite, usually in the form of an email or salesletter through the post. You read it , like what you read and then comes the punchline at the bottom…the entrance fee…WOW…that’s expensive!…but…

You think, what the heck, look at the line up of speakers, these guys are some of my online Heros…I just gotta make the effort
and attend. Who knows WHAT I’ll learn, I only need one solid piece of info to boost my business…I’m certain I’ll get it IF I go!
Prices from $997 (£500) to $5947 (£3000)…

is someone getting dinner out of this?

Next after paying for your ticket you need to find a place to stay cos it’s usually a 1, 3 or 4 day event…so you go google the location and find local hotels, travelinns, bed and breakfasts, anything that suits your taste and pocket…usually about $99 or £50 a night if you’re attending a London event, like one of the many I attended.

Hotel Rooms Booked now what?

You gotta get there, Planes Trains or Automobiles? (good film )…I choose to drive and the fuel costs work out at $89 or £45 round trip. Then there’s the TRAFFIC…I HATE TRAFFIC…I mean I REALLY hate traffic. Isn’t that ironic?

You try your best to avoid traffic as much as possible OFFLINE yet you just can’t get enough ONLINE HA!

Anyway…you get to the Event and get checked through the doors see a SEA of people attending ALL looking to do the same thing you are and get that special info, meet your special Guru or hope to meet some influencial people that can boost your business too where you could do some JV’s.

Then you sit through the Events and listen and take attentive notes from the speakers. Now here’s the interesting part…

Some of those speakers, you probably haven’t ever seen before, but guess what…THEY are usually the ones that give you that VITAL info you came to the Event for in the first place. WOW,you say…I’m sooooooo glad I came today!!! That’s IT! That’s just what I needed!!! My “Unknown Guru at that time” was…Mike Filsaime…(some really great stuff Mike…thanks)

You could spend the rest of the time daydreaming now cos you got your gold!…But you can talk to folk you know and you can get networking with them too for some great JV deals…but you know what?..I find that the majority of people are still afraid to open their mouths and talk…even when they paid BIG BUCKS to get there.

Some people just like to be very private and that’s fine, but usually it’s not what you know but WHO you know that helps a lot in this world…and I’m talking about Life in general not just for business porposes. My advice…ask more questions…seriously…it’s free and you just might make some great new friends

You’re happy…you got what you wanted and you drive home through the traffic to get home and start using your new found info.

BUT What If You Couldn’t Afford to Attend the Seminar for whatever reason?

• Maybe the price was too high
• Maybe you had to go to work that week
• Maybe you don’t like meeting people
• Maybe you are disabled and don’t like to travel
• Maybe you couldn’t be bothered

Who Else Thought Like I Did?

You’ve done it all, got the info, met great people exchanged details, spoken to your top gurus, but you think to yourself when you’re sat at home…that Internet Marketing Event was really great…but I just wish they’d put it online so I can save a bundle in costs and mainly MY time, yet still get the info I need…now that would be cool…after all this is the 21st.Century and we have Broadband!

Well now you can attend an Internet Event from Home…

Save on Hotel bills, Fuel Bills, Food Bills…yet still “Meet the Gurus”…so why not check it out.

The Price? well lets just say you’ll be VERY pleasantly suprised. Click here for more info

Till next we meet…enjoy

Steve Shapiro.

P.S. This is just the beginning of the new way to network, as Jim Carrie once said in Dumb and Dumber “I Like It A Lot!”

90-Day Apprentice program update:

by Dan Blackburn

Here’s the latest news if you are considering joining this unique online program. The 90-Day Apprentice Program starts in earnest on the 8th. Sept 2007. I suggest you join ASAP if you really want to learn how to start your OWN successful online business venture.

Dan Blackburn is fast becoming a person to WATCH online as he is on a mission…a mission to show those who are struggling to make it online, exactly how to succeed…BUT first…you need to join the 90-Day Apprentice Program

Here is a communication directly from Dan:
QUOTE:

In 2 days time, the 90 day apprentice program will “launch” and (if you
have paid) your training will begin. If you haven’t paid. It won’t.

I just want to clarify, I am not closing this site on the 8th
September, I am opening it. However, I am removing the “manager” part of the
offer. I think it is important that everyone who would be a manager begins
the training at the same time, and also that I know exactly who is in
the competition before it begins. That is why we have had this little
“prelaunch”.

If you are still a free member, there are 2 days left to sign up and
take part in this contest. It does not matter which membership level you
choose. Go for task one alone to prove it first if you like, but sign
up before the 8th or the competition door will be closed. No exceptions.

Dan Blackburn

P.S. After the 8th I may tell you a little about what is contained in
this book in my own words, but not before. Log in and upgrade if you
need to.
END QUOTE:

So…to see what all the fuss is about click here for more…

This to me is a fun experiment, that has a high reward prize and could quite possibly earn you a regular online income…why not join the fun?

90-Day Apprentice Program Review

by Dan Blackburn

Move over Internet Gurus - enter Dan Blackburn with his 90-Day Apprentice Program!

What is this 90 day apprentice program and who is Dan Blackburn, anyway?

The 90-Day Apprentice Program was designed to help anyone who wants to make money online and who isn’t afraid of a little work to achieve it.

Dan’s apprentice program is over the course of 90 days, hence the title. The way it works is simple, Dan hands out assignments and tasks that allow “apprentices” to learn Internet business and marketing with a hands-on approach.

The thing I liked best is that this is NOT another cookie-cutter business plan, that sucker so many people into thinking they have a winner on their hands. You don’t get a beautifully designed website (that matches every other member’s beautifully designed website).

This program is different, in that it actually teaches you how to do the things you need to do to run your own business online, whatever it is that you decide you would like your business to be…
i.e. you could work on a fly fishing website, a site devoted to training your dog not mess in the house, a golf gift website(lots of competition there though, beware)….the choice is yours.

However, the bottom line is that promoting and marketing a business online is basically promoting and marketing a business online, no matter what sort of business you decide to have. Sure, your target audience might not be in the same place as someone else’s, but you go about finding them in the same way, using tried and tested principals that work!

So, why is Dan Blackburn qualified to help anyone else? Is he a “guru” can you trust him?

Dan doesn’t believe in the guru word

Dan believes that, with focus and effort, anyone can develop a business that will make money online for them. He knows first hand as he is a self-admitted “information junky”.

Dan spent his first few years online spending, spending, spending, and never earning. Dan was working a full-time day job to support his online habits …collection of information. But, and you should know this, “knowledge is NOT power”… in itself …a lesson that Dan was hard pressed to learn.

“Knowledge is only powerful when it is applied”

Once Dan realized this for himself and started taking action with his knowledge, he was able to quit his rather lucrative well paid day job and concentrate on his online ventures.

But why the 90-Day Apprentice Program?

Dan learned the hard way that people don’t instinctively take action on things they learn. He didn’t. Most of his online friends didn’t and they were all highly motivated to make money!

After working with numerous people on numerous projects, he realized:

• That people need more guidance than they usually get
• They need someone to really hold their hand and tell them exactly what needs to be done and when to do it

The 90-Day Apprentice Program takes step-by-step learning one step farther to ensure the success of the apprentices.

If you are anxious to make money online, start your own business, and have freedom from the day job, then you owe it to yourself to check out the 90-Day Apprentice Program.

You can apply what you learn to almost any business you want to start online. You’ll have personal guidance and direction…not just a book of steps. And, if it’s not for you, Dan guarantees it all too!

Take your enthusiasm and your willingness to work and start creating something that will have you smiling all the way to the bank. Dan’s 90 Day Apprentice Course is as it claims…over 90 days, a very short time in Internet terms and one which could see you making real headway in your online business, what ever it is that you choose.

The entry fee is a winner for you which ever you choose, there are 3 levels of entry to suit the pocket.

To Your Success
Steve Shapiro.
P.S. This is highly recommended because I know Dan and I also know whom he has worked with to bring this “History In The Making” 90-Day Apprentice Program to you…hurry though…it starts in earnest on September 8th!
