Poker Blog For Sale is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I am putting my poker blog up for sale. Since I added the forum to my main project Rakeback Rolls with a blogging option for all members. I don’t have a use for my poker blog. Although it has bring in most of my income over the pass year. I think its time to sell it and let someone take it to the next level and do something great with it.

The blog domain is 3 years old, pagerank 3, the blog uses a premium theme called the dealer theme valued at $215 and a banner plugin called oiopublisher valued at $47. The theme and plugin will be included in the sale.

Traffic stats
The blog gets over 500 visitors a month. The blog ranks for a lot of random keywords (all in or fold, sitngo, rush poker, limit holdem, and poker career) that could convert into signups if someone take the time to put in the right call to actions in the articles and do a little backlink building to rank number 1 for the keywords. The blog does come with a twitter account (kushmoney). The account updates with a lot of poker news and whenever the blog updates so the followers grow every month. Also it drives 10 to 40 visitors a tweet depending on the tweet message.

Revenue stats
There isn’t any revenue from signing up players as I drive all traffic to my latest project. I’m sure the right person will put in the right call to actions and make this site profitable. I did make nice amount of money from advertisements on the site. Most of the advertisements are expiring this month and next month. The more recent ads will be move to my poker news site or I will refund the advertiser. For my readers that are not in the poker affiliate business. If you buy the blog I will show you how to make over $3k a year from this website selling advertisements.

The starting bid for the blog is $500 and the buy it now price is $2,500. I am offering 10% finders fee to anyone that brings me a buyer that buys the blog at the B.I.N. price. To follow the current bid please click here.

Back To Work is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I took a small break from working which was great. I watched seasons 1 through 5 of Weeds. Now that I am back getting things done. I also did some thinking about the goals of this month. While content is great, it’s not going to make money today. Content is more of a long term, return on investment.

I will be producing and buying content as always. However, I am going to turn my focus to branding my rakeback/limit holdem site. I set up 2 tournaments to run every weekend. I am also, going to run some freeroll tournaments to bring in more subscribers to my mailing list as well as drive sign ups to smaller online poker rooms.

Things Done Since I’m Back…
I set up a $25 freeroll tournament on Full Tilt Poker for my rakeback site. All of my players will be added in the tournament so all the password/freeroll whose looking to sign up to my mailing list just for the password will be out luck with that. However, I will try to convert them with the $25 freeroll tournament on playersonly as a cross promotion for my rakeback site and a poker forum I bought advertisement on. Depending on how well these tournaments do I will host more of them.

As for content, I have produce some articles for article marketing as well as news articles for my poker news site. I did a lot of editing stuff, moving stuff around to add more banner slots without over doing it. I think I did a good job of it. I also decided to start taking some direct ad orders on this site so we will see how that goes for boosting my direct ad sales.

Hopefully the sign ups from the tournament promotions and the traffic from the poker news site will boost the monthly affiliate marketing income. From the monthly income reports we all know my affiliate marketing income isn’t up to par with my direct ad sales. Also, I will begin my bankroll challenge on my poker blog soon so hopefully the readers I gain from it will join me at the tables by signing up through my rakeback site.

With all that being said, I guess I decided to change this month from being about content to producing more signups and affiliate marketing income. Let’s see what happens.

Changes To This Blog is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I have been working hard on my other websites and haven’t been doing much on this blog. I said I will do a lot more blogging here. Well I been doing a lot of thinking what I am going to do with this blog. I realize I lost my way from the reason I started this blog. It wasn’t to teach others to blog that’s what Blog Mastermind is for, it wasn’t to show others how to make money online we all find our own way of doing business anyway. The reason for this blog was for me to have a voice. Express myself beyond work. It seems all I ever talk about on here is blogs, websites, and making money.

I never talk about how to save money and how to make money work for you. My whole reason for being so motivated to make money is because I feel I deserve a much better life than what I was born into. To do so, I will need to make money, save money, become debt free, and make my money work for to build riches.

So far I management to help others make a full time living from their online businesses, sell off any online business I had that was just about there to making serious money, and start more projects. Well I am finally saying enough is enough. I am taking on a mission that nobody ever wants to face.

I am going to focus on improving my websites and their income without starting new projects, buy online businesses with cashflow, and most importantly pay off my debt. I know this is going to take awhile but I am ready to push hard to get things done.

What Does That Mean For This Blog?

First off, I am changing the look of this site a bit using thesis theme as always until I pay for a custom design. I will rarely give blogging advice as there are better bloggers out there that can give great advice about this stuff. However, I will be working on improving my affiliate marketing income and will publish how I am going about doing so. Publishing some things that work and other things that don’t work. I will be publishing articles about personal finance as well. What’s the point in building a really nice monthly income if we can’t control our spending or personal finances.

What Has Changed So Far?

I have made some changes before making this post. As you can see, I removed the big footer I had. I also removed the blogging ebook I wrote. Personally, I didn’t like it and the update I had plan was going to take me forever to finish. I removed some widgets and I will be finding the widget that let’s you set goals like I had last year. I only took it down because it was depressing to see my debt then it was depressing to see such a large goal to make monthly so I just took the whole thing down. This time I will look at it as motivation and not in a depressing way.

The Journey Begins…

While I know a lot of you come to my blog hoping I begin teaching you about blogging again I can not take that path right now. I am realizing what it is I need to focus on work wise as well as personally. I always feel the need to help others and feel that is what I need to do as a person. I believe that is what I am here for. I believe by taking this journey to turn my life around from being in debt to a debt free person and posting about how I am doing it. It will help others do the same.

I hope you enjoy my journey and maybe my journey will help yours. Thanks for your time.

June Goals 2010 is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I have more goals than I could fit in the May income report. So this post will be all about my goals for this month. Income may or may not drop well below my average monthly income. Due to my focus on goals for this month. I am calling this month “Content June” since I will be focusing on updating this blog, my poker blog, and my poker news site as well as adding more articles to my big project. Let’s get into the goals for this month.

Goal #1 – The poker news site. I will be adding news articles daily. Most days I will be writing the content and other days I will be buying the content. Depending on the topic. I will also be buying reviews of poker rooms and gambling sites to add to the site. Also, I will be adding sections about games, game rules, and poker commercials.

Summary – minimum of 50 articles added

Goal #2 – The poker blog. I will be doing a bankroll challenge and update the blog each day that I play poker. Go over what went well, what went bad, what I learn from it, and where my bankroll stand.

Summary – minimum of 10 articles added

Goal #3 – The limit holdem site. I will be adding more strategy articles. Once I add 3 or 5 more articles I will add a recent strategy articles section to the homepage. I also will be running tournaments on poker rooms on the weekends as well as run a few members only tournaments for a poker forum I sponsor. Tournaments are focus to sign up players and get subscribers to the mailing list.

Summary – minimum 5 new articles and 10 tournaments

Goal #4 – This blog. I will be updating my process to let everyone know what I have gotten done , whats to come, and how I feel about everything. I will also try to add suggestions for those of you running websites.

Summary – minimum of 3 process articles and ill try to add other articles.

This month I guess I am jumping back into blogging full focus being that I will be updating 2 blogs and 2 websites. As you can see, this month is all about content, gaining readers, subscribers, and signing up players. So I am pretty sure income may drop. Depends on if I can find advertisers. I have 2 slots on a site that just opened up and I will be looking to fill those spots so I should make the $400 average from direct ads. If I do fill the slots, I will still be $400 short from my average of $800 a month. Push comes to shove I will have to sell content or something. Which I really hate doing. We will just have to wait and see.

What are your goals for the June?

Half Way Through The Month is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

It’s a little over half way through the month. I am not liking how things are going but then again when things run slowly in the first half of the month I push harder to make the second half better. Today I want to go over a few things. May goals, a few things added to the “to do list” this week, and how the income is coming along this month. First let’s get into this month’s goals. I want to complete 10k words of new content, revamp one of my sites, rank on the first page for 5 keywords, and complete the follow ups for the newsletter using aweber for my new site.

So far I have done over 6k words of new content. So half way through the month I am over half way done with goal number one. I am really happy about this because I got into the mood of not writing my own poker content. Now that I am writing again, I really feel bad about selling the content. The articles are so good I want to place them on my site for my players to benefit from them. However, I need the money to fund my project. I will touch more on the income later. Some of the articles I do keep for myself if I feel it’s more beneficial to place the article on my site. I also use some of the articles for article marketing if I don’t like the way it came out or if it’s shorter than 400 words.

Now goal number two is a little more work than just writing. This site I plan on changing from a poker community into a online poker news site with a little twist. I have taken off the dead poker forum, change some of the sidebars with an awesome wordpress plugin, and since I took off the forum where the poker commercials was published. I am going to add a poker commercials section. I still have to pay for the reviews, a new design, and logo as well as hire a poker news writer. The only problem with this project is funding. I told myself this project will only be funded by its income. So far, it has been producing from 2 online poker rooms and direct ad sales. However, I played poker with some of the funds and lost. It was during my downswing. So this project will be fund by my poker winnings since things have turned around and any direct ads I sell on it for now on.

Goal number three, this goal is bothering me a bit. I 301 redirected my test site which had a nice amount of backlinks and 301 redirect 3 mini sites to the new site. At first it seem google was taking forever and day to update the search results with the new site. Then it updated, I was happy until I notice some rankings dropped and others complete disappeared! So I began working on getting some of my rankings back by building backlinks for them but the more backlinks I built the more they dropped so I stop building backlinks for awhile. The rankings are coming back.  Then I read on PAL a lot of people are having all types of problems with google search results. So I guess I will have to ride the wave until things claim down. Until then, I am 1 out of 5. Rank for my own domain name. Not something I am happy about since that is pretty damn easy to do.

My final goal of the month, finish the follow up emails for the newsletter. I did this in the first week of the month. It took a lot of thinking and writing but I got it done. I should count the writing in the new word count for goal number one but I am not going to do that. I did 14 follow up emails including the welcome email. If the newsletter can not convert a player into a real money player producing rake each month I don’t know what will. Also I have some follow up emails that promote some poker tools that such bring in some nice sells as well. Once I get some training videos on the site I will be adding those to the follow up emails as well. By the time I am done with this newsletter it will have a ton of follow up emails. I will never have to send out a promotional email. We all know I will anyway.

Things I added to this months to do list. Create a facebook fan page for the new site, create a twitter page for the new site, and this one can wait until later maybe next month but it’s on the to do list. Hire someone to answer questions on Yahoo Answers. Personally, I think outsourcing this is best. It will give me time to complete other things.

The break down of income and what needs to be done. This month I said, I was not going to focus on direct ad selling. So far this month, I must say I only made a few comments this month in my sales threads. A few people contacted me but no deals. I have been focus on selling articles though. I stocked myself this one though. When it comes to something hard to make money. I normally run back to what I know best if I don’t see results fast enough. However, that’s not the case this month. I am really replacing my direct ad sells income with article writing. I have a few problems with this though.

1. Coming up with things to write about.
2. Getting over the feeling of keeping the article.
3. Knowing I will have to produce 50 articles to make $1,000

Now there is an up side to writing articles over selling direct ads. At first I didn’t even think of this but after talking with a friend. He help me realize a couple of benefits to writing articles than selling direct ads.

1. I only have to write 20 articles to replace my $400 a month income from selling direct ads
2. I will have less outbound links from my site. Which is always a good thing. I rather do internal linking.

As you can see there are good and bad things about selling articles than selling direct ads. I don’t know if I can write 50 articles a month plus content for my own sites. However, I have no problem producing 20 articles a month for $400+.

What will I do with the income? Here’s a break down of what will go where. All direct ads sold on my soon to be poker news site as well as some of my poker winnings will be reinvested there via producing content and hiring a poker news writer. All direct ads sold on my poker blog will be used for producing content and SEO for my new site. All articles sold will go towards producing content, design work, and SEO for my new site.

Summary
In my opinion, I done very little work in the first 2 weeks of this month and need to really pump out new content this second half. I only wrote 9 articles to sell this month so far. 11 more needed to completely replace my direct ad sells income for this month. Who knows if I will complete it. I been having writers block a lot lately. I think I am still having troubles getting back into the writing groove. Although, I always seem to crank out 1 or 2 articles around a long poker session. The twitter and facebook pages will be completed this week. However, I will have to find out the cost of a custom design for the facebook fan page landing page. If that make sense to you. I will wait on getting though. There are far more important things need to be done on the new site.

Here’s a little self promotion for my articles sales thread. Support my project and add new content to your site by buying an article or two maybe all of them. Until next time, work hard and work smart.

May Goals is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I told you guys and gals I was going to be blogging here more and I know I talked about some of May Goals in the April income report. I want expand on that. What I have done and what will be done this month. Everything is just trying to come together from months of planning. I had these ideas I wanted to do but needed a niche to do so. I have found the niche and putting things together.

What I have done this month
Last month I wanted to finally get my ideas into action. I started playing limit holdem to stop from losing at poker. It almost helps me think about my business while im playing. So this idea popped in my head, why not run a limit holdem poker school/rakeback site. It will be easy for me to get players and they all will become big rakers so it’s a perfect fit. So this month I got the logo and design done for my limit holdem site. I am still working on the content but running low of funds so any articles I write over 400 words I will be selling to rebuild my paypal account. The rest of the articles will go towards article marketing for the site.

I 301 redirected the whole test site to the new site since it has backlinks and traffic going to it. I didn’t want it go to waste as I know I wasn’t going to work on it anymore. It took me about an hour to completely redirect a 50+ page site. (Only reason it took so long, I was eating breakfast at the same time) I changed any backlinks that I could from pointing to the test site to the new site. So I should see the new site in the search engines within a week or so for many keywords.

In other news, I still have 3 mini sites for sale. Selling all 3 for $800 even though I could just add 10 to 20 more articles to the biggest one and sell that one alone for $1k. But I really don’t have time for that. I am not sure what to do with them if they don’t sell. I mean I could 301 redirect them to the new site as well but that would be a waste of 3 mini sites. I know if I built backlinks for them they could rank well and make money or sell ads on and make money that way once the google PR update came again. However, the backlinks I build for them I could be building for my big project. I guess I am kind of stuck playing the waiting game to see if they sell.

May Goals
This month is all about writing. jdwanchalk from PAL forum started a challenge to write 300,000 words of new content in 3 months. The bet was $2k. We all know I don’t have that to lose so I didn’t enter the challenge. However, it kind of got me out of the content buying mode I been in over the months and into the writing tons of content mode. Which is why I am writing this post right now. I just feel like writing again. I don’t know if I could pump out 300k words but I have already pumped out over 2k or 3k words of new content over the pass few days. Where am I going with this? Well my goal is to write at least 10,000 words of new content this month. Which is 20 articles of 500 words each. Doesn’t matter which site I place it on as long as I am pumping out new content. I will NOT be counting the content I already did this month. I will start counting the content I do after this post is published!

My next goal kind of ties into the goal above. I am going to completely revamp my poker community. This is going to sound pretty dumb but I am going to take off the poker forum and complete the rest of the website before I focus on building an active forum. This means completing all the poker, casino, sportsbook, bingo, and rummy reviews. Adding all the logo images and icons for each site listed. Customize the sidebar on each page of the site. Once all of that is completed. I will see if I have the budget to finally hire a writer to keep the poker news section updated daily Monday through Friday.

My next goal is to have the new site rank on the first page of google for a few keywords. I will not say the keywords but if I out rank any of you for your keywords well then you know. I always seem to hop on the first page of google for keywords I want very easily. So I will make a goal to hop on the first page of google for 5 money making keywords and see how much money it brings in.

Also for the new site, I will be writing a ton of follow up emails for the newsletter. In each email, I will make sure to have at least one or 2 links pointing back to the site. Always having the subscriber coming back to the site to convert them weather its to sign up to a poker room, buy a poker tool, or buy a book. I will keep my brand in their head. Hopefully they will tell their friends. We all know the best marketing is word of mouth.

Let’s do a recap of May goals before I do my final statement.

• Write 10k words of new content.
• Completely revamp the poker community
• Get the new site to rank on the first page of google for 5 keywords
• Complete follow up emails for the newsletter

To some of you this may seem like a ton of work and others it may seem like very little. I personally don’t view it either way. I just view it as things that must be done. Hopefully I can complete all of this work even though completely revamping the poker community is a shit load of work. lol I suck at writing reviews so all of that will be outsourced. I just have to get my budget up again. I will keep you all updated on how things are coming along.

Let your desire drive your motivation and everything will workout.

SEO and Review Posts is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

This post is really focused on bloggers. We review a product or service do some social media marketing, email marketing, but fall short of doing a lot of SEO for that one review post. Think about how much money we are leaving on the table by not getting that review post to rank #1 in the search engines for their keyword like “product name review”

What made me think about this, being in the poker niche. Online poker room reviews are very important and money makers. Then I thought about this blog and I just let my oiopublisher review blog post just sit there with no backlinks. I don’t know how much money I left on the table by not having that rank number 1 in the search engines.

On average most bloggers (or niche bloggers) have at least 5 reviews on their blog of products and services they use. Why not build backlinks for those reviews? Think about it, we are so focus on getting our homepage ranking for our given keywords. Often times we forgot about SEO for our blog posts.

Try doing some article marketing for at least one of your review blog posts and get it number 1 in the search engines. You will surely see a jump in your monthly income. There are 3 ways I know to do successful article marketing to build solid backlinks to rank well in the search engines.

1. Submit articles to article directories. Remember, only submit the same article to the top 5 article directories. The search engines will not index anything beyond that. Which why a lot of people highly recommend spinning (rewriting) your articles to submit to more article directories.
2. Guest post on other blogs. Contact as many bloggers as you know to write something unique for them with a backlink to your review post with author text. (This is a lot of work)
3. Submit your article to blog networks like free traffic system where you can submit an article with 2 backlinks for each article. You can submit an article up to 30 blogs at once.

Most product and service review blog posts are really easy to rank for with a small amount of backlinks because few people build backlinks for their review posts. I recommend doing some keyword research to see which review will rank number one the fastest and the keyword has traffic. Also, keep in eye on your rank in the search engines once you reach number one. If you fall from number one throughout the month. That mean you need more backlinks because someone is trying to outrank you for that keyword.

Always remember, do not write a review for a product or service you do not use yourself. Nobody will buy the product or service through your link. People know when you are full of shit. So keep those reviews honest and never say something good about a bad product or service. Either tell the truth or don’t write the review at all.

Cheers, let your desire drive your motivation and everything will workout.

Planning, Action, and Fun! is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

Hey everybody, I know I haven’t made a blog post here in awhile. I have been blogging a little though, just not here. I will get to that a little later in the post. I am felling a lot better since I last made the post breakups and movies. Thanks to all your comments (and tweets) throughout the month. They really helped me feel a lot better. One of you had a bad idea, you know who you are. Go sit in the corner and have a time out. lol just joking with you Gary. We all handle things differently and I respect that.

Now moving along, I been a very busy man this month. I think the income will speak for itself but why wait? Since I name this blog post planning, action, and fun. Why not start with the fun and work our way down to the planning? Good, since we on the same page and you have no choice but to read as I wrote it. lol We will start with the fun.

I purchase my membership to outstanding poker. I really like the lessons they have from the articles and podcasts to the videos. I learn a lot from them and improve my poker skills. They have one style of play and each lesson goes over it again and again to make sure you learn it like taking a breathe. It’s all about becoming a profitable poker player. I assure you, I am not there yet. For almost 2 weeks, I use the same $50 over and over again going up and down until I had one bad day (Thinking about my ex) and lost it all. It’s ok though, I can see the improvement in my game. It’s been really fun playing poker almost everyday. Whenever I am not working on my poker sites.

Now that we covered my fun/training to be a pro poker player. Let’s get into the work that I have been doing this month. I have 2 poker websites. One everyone knows about which is my poker blog (if you new here) I just bought a new theme for it and I love it. Perfect for what I need to do with the site. I am holding a $25 design contest on DP for my logo. So far the logos I have seen from them are awesome, I am going to have a hard time picking a winner. I wrote a few blog posts, outsource 3  articles, one didn’t make it, someone bought it from me. I still have alot of work to do it on though.

My other website is poker commercials. I thought of making this website because I enjoy the poker commercials and surely others do to and I was right. I just need to rank for the keywords I am aiming for and traffic will be rolling in. I added a forum to the site to connect with other poker players. Too bad all that joined the site isn’t active. Only a few are active. I had a problem with the registration to the forum at first but I fix the problem with a plugin. I have done a lot of posting in the forum and planning to do a lot more posting articles in it pretty soon. (if you want to talk poker with me please join the poker forum) My personal web designer/good friend was in a good mood doing logos all week. He offer to do the logo for poker commercials which turned out great because I used it on the official poker commercials twitter account. I left off the “s” on the twitter account to rank for the keyword “poker commercial” a lot more searches than with the “s” got to have all the traffic I can get you know?

Since I am trying to make money affiliate marketing in the poker niche. I will be building mini sites. Which will be my backlink building for both my main poker sites. Got to love those footer links Anyway, I know you notice the CPA network and poker affiliate program banners. If any of you ever need help getting started. Please don’t be shy, I am always glad to help. You all help me when I was sad and a little depressed really. Now I am happy go lucky and working my butt off to be successful like I know I can be.

Now lets get down to the planning. My hosting business is still in the planning stages because my partner nor I can think of a good web hosting name that isn’t already taken! I lost count of how many names I came up with and come to find out their taken. Don’t get me wrong, as you can see I have been working this whole time and my partner hasn’t stop designing the site. I swear he is over thinking the design however I understand how he feels about web design. So I let him design and redesign the websites design over and over again. If you have any ideas for a good web hosting domain name. Please let me know, thanks.

That is all I been up too lately. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Since I love Italian food so much I started to learn Italian as my second language. The speak is pretty easy for me. However, the reading and writing on the other hand. Well not so much. I think it would be best if I bought rosetta stone to learn Italian a lot faster! It would sure help get a lot of signups in the poker niche. If I could read and write in Italian.

Until my next post. Let your desire drive your motivation!

OIOpublisher Review is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

Today, I want to explain why I recommend oiopublisher so much. Before I get into that, I just want to say I have been using it since 2008 and it has made me a lot more money than what I spent for it. This wordpress plugin has done and still does what we wish our business can do. Make us money while we sleep. Well this has happen to me more than once.

For example, when I first bought oiopublisher. My blog was a rinsing star like this blog. I made my advertise page as detail as I can with links to buy the ad slots. (Maybe a little too many details) After I set it up, I focused on driving more and more traffic to my blog as I make a blog post everyday. So one day I wake up and notice an ad slot was filled. I checked my paypal account and there it was. A nice payment for my ad slot.

Then I thought to myself, if advertisers are buying from reading my advertise page. Why not drive advertisers to that page. So I did what I use to do to fill ad slots. I hit the forums and posted in the advertising section. Now here’s where a big benefit comes into play. Saves time and make you more money.

Normally when I make a post about advertising on my blog. People would post or private message me that they want to buy an ad slot. I will then send them payment details and then they would have to send me the text link and banner image link. (Sound like what you doing now?) With oiopublisher, I simply added my advertise page link in the post. Now I don’t have to even be online while they buy ad slots. Which saved me a lot of time and help me fill 3 more ad slots in a week from one ad on a forum. Wondering how I know? People like to say thanks for making it easy or they leave an itrader.

Benefits Of Using OIOpublisher

The number 1 benefit of using oiopublisher over using a 3rd party to sell your ad slots is you KEEP 100% of the money. No 3rd party taking their cut from your hard earn money. As bloggers, we work to maintain growth month after month. Making blog posts, promoting, and getting visitors to become subscribers. Why should we let someone else take a cut of our money?

Benefit number 2 – We can place ad slots of all kinds on our blog. Text links, Banners of all sizes, inline ads (video ads, banner ads, and in the rss feed), paid posts article provided by advertiser, and paid reviews so we can write about the advertisers product, service, or site. I don’t know about you, that all sounds like money to me. Another cool think about selling ad slots is the plugin provide you with php code and javascript code. If you have sites similar to each other and want to use the same ads or want advertisers to buy one ad slot on both sites. You can use the javascript code to have your ad on both sites and advertisers can get a stats report about how many impressions and clicks they ad has received.

Benefit number 3 – We can sell our own digital products. As long as we can place it in a zip file, we can sell it using oiopublisher. I bet some of you didn’t even know that.

With benefit number 2 and 3 explain let me get into benefit number 4.

Benefit number 4 – You can have your own affiliate program. Yes, that’s right. No matter what you selling ad slots, paid posts, your own product. You can have an affiliate program and set when you going to pay your affiliates. I prefer to get paid fast and I think my affiliates think the same as I do so anything sold on this site. My affiliates get paid every 2 weeks. No need to wait a whole month!

Benefit number 5 – You can take payments via the following;

• 2Checkout
• PayPal
• EntreCard (Did that for personal reasons)
• Google Checkout
• Authorize.net
• Offline Payments

See you not limited to just paypal. However, I do recommend you use paypal if you going to have affiliates. By the way, if you going to have affiliates. I highly recommend you grab the ebook sales army secrets. It will get you thinking on a whole new level about getting affiliates.

Benefit number 6 – You can customize the purchase emails and purchase templates. When a person click on the purchase link. They will be taking to your checkout. You can customize how it looks. I am not that good with code nor with design so I kept the default. The email that is sent out to advertisers, I kept that default as well. You may find it useful though.

Benefit number 7 – You can add your website to their marketplace so even more advertisers are aware of your website/blog.

Now for the things I don’t like about oiopublisher. hmmm… There’s nothing I can think of for right now. How can I think of some bad about it. Let’s face it, buying this plugin was one of the best investments I have ever made. One time payment with free upgrades every time a new version comes out. How can you beat that? You can’t its one of the greatest deals around.

Enough about what this has done for me and how wonderful it is. Buy oiopublisher now and have your own story to tell after you have sold out your ad slots! Also, if you click the link to buy, remember to look in the header for the discount.
