Outsourcing

Have a project to outsource or need help with a project it'd take you 50 hours to complete and someone else maybe only 2?

I learned about scriptlance today. While there are several, I got more referrals from top internet marketers to this site than any of the others which I'll list below as well for reference:

www.guru.com
www.rentacoder.com
www.elance.com

Post your project and review the bids. There are categories for any kind of work you can imagine including, marketing, programming, writing, etc.

If you have a favorite, email me and we'll add to the resource list.

Long URLs?

Interested in cloacking, shortening and branding your links all in one? I have a tool you need to try today!

It's called linkbrander and marketed by Russell Brunson of DotComSecrets. I'm an apprentice in his dotcomsecrets program and I must say the desktop mentor with a training, homework and tools daily for 27 days is a great idea. I cannot believe no one else has done it to date.

LinkBrander will take your long URL's and make them shorter period. It's also a great affiliate program to offer (and free via the desktop mentor program I am in). You earn credits that will show your own ads by telling others about LinkBrander.

There are so many tools to shorten links but try this one out..simple and easy to use. What other tools are you using out there? Share them with me and we'll review them. Have a great day.

Squeeze Pages

Chances are if you are an affiliate marketer you don't have a squeeze page. Why does it matter? As an affiliate you are marketing someone else's product or service and paid for those sales you make. But (and it's a big but) you don't capture the lead's contact information to build your own list so you can market to them again later on.

I'm not knocking affiliate marketing at all..but the power of a squeeze page is that it allows you to capture the opt in info from the lead - the redirect them to the product page. So you get their contact info and hopefully the sale as well!

A sale without follow up info is a one timer...build your list so you are always expanding the audience you can later market to!
