Download Any Video – Video Catcher Pro

March 24, 2009 By Leave a Comment

You know how you watch a video online and decide you’d like a copy of it on your hard drive so you can watch again in the future?  And you know how some folks make their videos available for download and others don’t?

I’m not talking about YouTube videos here.  Membership sites often have tons of video training but only allow streaming online.  I also find there is a treasure of information provided in videos used in the big time product launches or even on the sales pages that don’t have a download link.

Well Rudy Dhondt, an internet marketer, figured out how to download these videos. First he made a pdf  report available as a warrior special offer, teaching his method.  Then he followed that up by developing a software application that can save the videos for you.  Rudy’s program is called Video Catcher Pro.  I love it.

The program is a piece of cake to use.  All I do is play the video in my Internet Explorer browser.  Once it’s done, I open the VCP program, click a few buttons and the videos are saved on my hard drive right where I want them.

I just downloaded a couple videos from a membership site that I wanted to keep.  These videos demonstrate how to do an advanced task in wordpress.  Now when I am ready to make the same changes to my blogs, I can watch his videos again and not just rely on my notes.

So long story short, you might not think downloading videos is a big deal but I am so grateful that I can do it with any video I want access to in the future.  Check it out!

Focusing on Niche Affiliate Sites

March 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

A new blog theme today.  I really like this one.  I feel energized by it.

There is a lot of activity in my internet marketing world these days.  My primary focus is on building niche affiliate sites.  I mentioned last week that my goal is 50 sites by June.  I’m still not getting a sense of urgency, though, that compels me to put in the necessary effort and focus to accomplish that big of a goal.  What could that be about?  My back just isn’t to the wall — yet?

What I’ll commit to instead is getting 6 more sites up and ready for visitors by the end of this week.  The market research is done and I have purchased the domain names.  They are set up on the server and blogs have been uploaded.  What is left is basically activating the blogs and getting the content started.  I’m going to use the phpBay Pro plugin to monetize the sites with ebay auctions.  I’ll also include some articles/posts to give the sites some depth.  I can do that by Friday.

I’ll follow that with some promotion:  submitting RSS feeds, some social bookmarking, creating some feeder blogs for links, etc.  I’ve recently participated in a class on the Warrior Forum in which Kevin Riley teaches a traffic strategy.  Really good stuff.  I’ll follow his guidance and create some promotional videos as well.  He gives a really clear step by step process.  That should be really powerful!

There’s so much more, but that’s all for now.  Have a good one!

Want to Learn CPA Marketing from the Best?

March 9, 2009 By Leave a Comment

If you’re interested in CPA marketing there is a free report being offered by Gauher Chaudhry as a prelude to his product launch of Pay Per Click Formula 2.  The original PPC Formula came out several years ago and was lauded as a fantastic product for learning how combine PPC and CPA marketing.  For anyone who is not familiar, CPA stands for cost per action.  This link will take you to the free report.

I’d love to learn to effectively promote CPA offers.  This is probably the guy to learn it from although they’re offering a series of tutorials for CPA over at the Immediate Edge as well.  I’m sure I won’t buy this product when it comes out, but I will take the free information to start building my knowledge base.

My focus these days is on building niche affiliate sites.  I’d like to build 50 by June.  Can I do that?  Yes.  The bigger question is, WILL I do that?  The promotion is always the time consuming part and I’m on the lookout for effective promotion methods that can be put on autopilot.  The answer may be outsourcing.

I’ve been using Mechanical Turk when outsourcing article writing for about a year now. For the most part I’ve been pleased. Some articles have been fantastic and others not so great but usable with a little work.  The biggest thing to watch out for with this group is plagiarism.  I check everything with copyscape before I even read it.  But I have plans to have about 25 articles written for one of my sites in the next few days to start an article blitz of sorts and hopefully pick up the traffic again.

Have a good one!
