Tycoon Cashflow is a beginners course on affiliate Internet marketing through Clickbank by Derek Jay and Adam Horwitz. It’s $49, and good for someone just starting out. The downside is a lot of Clickbank products are kinda sleazy and it’s where virtually all “get rich quick schemes” are sold. Don’t get me wrong, Clickbank has some legitimate products, but they also have the worst ones.

In Tycoon Cashflow they go over in several videos about natural search engine ranking placement as well as pay per clicks like the Google Adwords. Tycoon Cashflow is written for the newbie, I’d pass on it if you’ve got experience doing these things already. Derek Jay and Adam Horwitz are in the top 1 percent of Clickbank affiliates, so what they teach are clearly proven techniques.

I’ve spoken with several people who tried it, and the average was a few hundred dollars a month after putting in the effort for several weeks. The sales copy they use about $3,000+ dollars a day really puts me off. The average person using Tycoon Cashflow isn’t going to see those numbers. To their credit, they do mention on the site that it’s going to take time and work to make it in the affiliate marketing world.

Tycoon Cashflow has good information and sound advice, but don’t expect it to rescue you from a bleak financial situation overnight. Most people wouldn’t be able to quit their day job for probably a year if they succeed with it. Also to succeed at affiliate marketing, you must be willing to learn html and blogging with Wordpress. I mention this because I’ve spoken to a lot of people who just aren’t into computers but want an online business anyway. There are ones that are a lot less demanding of technical knowledge than the affiliate route. Tycoon Cashflow is worth the $49, but affiliate marketing isn’t for the lazy

I have a new favorite plugin for Wordpress, Statpress Reloaded is something every self hosted blog should have. What it does is tracks incoming traffic, referring URLs, and shows what keywords are bringing in the traffic and to which of your posts. It’s free and Read the rest of this entry »

Is doublemyspeed.com worth paying for?

Worth paying for? Nope!

Doublemyspeed.com have been advertising heavily lately for their product, but I think it’s very deceptive, and nothing you can’t get for free these days.  They let you download their trial version, but to take any action you have to buy the product. Read the rest of this entry »

I found Similarsites.com today by accident when I was doing some analytical work (checking on competitors of a client). What they let you do is search for a site you like, and they return results of sites that are similar to it. It’s a great way to find competitors, or just find more blogs or sites like ones you already visit. Read the rest of this entry »
