A Mysterious Post … + a niche inspector website update
Well, I was able to get quite a bit done with the acne solutions website. Check it out at www.acne-solution-tips.com. You see how basic and clean the site looks? This was my intention from the beginning. One somewhat clever thing I did (at least I think so) is to create a glossary for the site. By doing this, I was able to create a lot of links on the pages back to the glossary. As these links are blue, they help blend the adsense ads that much more. Is this site done now? Not quite. Here’s what I need to do before I consider it finished and really let it go:
1. I want to add some affiliate links to it.
2. I’m going to add a subdomain to it. (this is where my sneaky idea comes in. I thought I was going to be able to do it today, but I just ran out of time. Tune in tomorrow)
Xsite Pro actually has some interesting ways of handling affiliate links. Like I said previously, Xsite Pro is web design software that was built with the internet marketer in mind. It is the reason I was able to put together this site so quickly. I’m not sure how it handles affiliates, though. I guess I’ll get to learn that tomorrow.
On another not, I received a mysterious note (well, a comment) on my blog yesterday. Here’s what it said:
David,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Pretty sexy, huh?
Skeptical? Later today I’ll would be happy for you to sign up–free–for my $5,000.00 mentoring program. You might be surprised.
Your readers are welcome to sign up as well.
Look for the details this afternoon Eastern time at http://www.FullTiltBlogging.com
OK, so what is going on here? Well, I’m always checking out other blogs, looking for tips from other successful internet entrepreneurs. One of them was by a guy named Aaron Abber, who runs full tilt blogging. From his website, Aaron is quite successful, and is planning on starting up a mentoring program. There’s nothing really unusual about this, except that his program is going to be free. The only “catch” is that I have to 1) promote his blog on my blog (ok, done) 2) and contact 10 other people about his blog (I’ll do this tonight via e-mail). I’ll then be able to meet with him every Monday at 7 pm (eastern time, pacific? Not sure at this point) for some mentoring on internet business. (see his site for more detail)
Ok, so what’s REALLY the catch? From reading his sales letter, it seems that he is setting up 15 businesses of some sort. The mentoring is going to be partly made up of us helping him start these businesses up. At least, that’s what I suspect is going on. So, the question is, am I going to sign up? My answer is, why not? The way I see it, one of two things can happen:
1. I actually will learn a lot. Working on real projects is the best way to learn anyway. If I help build Aaron’s businesses, but I learn something in the process, that’s a fair exchange. What apprentice doesn’t need a mentor?
2. The whole thing is a scam and a waste of time. “Aaron” is in reality Yuri Scamniski, a Russian pig farmer and part time internet flim flam man. If this is the case, this should provide great fodder for future blog posts.
Tomorrow, I’ll update you on the progress with my acne website, including the potentially evil trick, as well as an Aaron Abber update (if that’s his real name …)
To our Success,
- Dave
