Mal Keenan’s Internet Marketing Resource Site

Giving My Home Business Website an Overhaul

I’ve spent the best part of 24 hrs updating my home business site.

At this stage of the game I should be outsourcing this stuff but it seems to me sometimes a lot less hassle to just do it myself. I’ve outsourced many times before. I’ve had some good and some bad experiences.

The worst was when a content writer took my dollars and didn’t complete the project. She basically did a runner with my cash

I enjoy updating my sites, most times.

So basically I changed some of the colors, brought the blog of the site more in line, visually, with the rest of the site. Apparently this creates a much more pleasant user experience. Before, when a web visitor clicked from my main page to my blog they got two completely different headers. This isn’t good practice. Now the headers are indentical. Have a look here to here.

I have around 300 articles on this site too which needed to have their surrounding content changed. I accomplished this using Macromedia Dreamweaver which has a handy find and replace tool. You can basically change every file in a folder according to text or source code. Can you imagine having to do these individually?

I also added Blogrush to my blog. This is a free tool for increasing blog traffic - allegedly. It’s free so you might want to give it a try.

I plan to do some heavy promoting on this site in the coming months. I think it’s looking a lot smarter than it was, but then I’m biased . I’ll keep my eye on Google analytics over the coming days to see if the changes have made a difference to visitor interactivity on the site.

The Reverse Funnel System Runs Along

It’s been an eventful day or two in my Internet marketing career.

As I was joining the Reverse Funnel System and Global Resorts Network(RFS is the system used to promote the actual product GRN). So in essence I am paying for a sales and tracking system with RFS. It’s an impressive display in the back office of the system, with the easiest tracking system I have ever seen. Whether it’s worth $300 per month will be revealed as I continue with the system. It’s all about the profits !

So far I have added 69 leads to my system. These leads will receive a series of followup email messages over the coming days and will be encouraged to become paid leads. At that stage, they will fill out a survey to progress them into the system. The overall goal is to encourage those leads to become fully paid members of the Global Resorts Network.

I am a platinum member myself which entitles me to my choice of 1000s of discount holidays in resorts throughout the world. This company has been going for over 20 years both on and offline. No need to be concerned about the quality and reputation of the product and company.

I have been encouraged by the quality of the training in the back-office too. Daily training calls which can also be downloaded, to be listened to at a later date. That is handy for those of us in different time-zones.

Training, product quality aside, this business opportunity will need to show me some profit over the coming couple of months for me to continue with it.

I have nothing to lose by keeping a dairy of my progress or lack thereof in the coming days and weeks, which I plan to do on this blog. If it is in fact one of the better opportunities out there then the fact will speak for themselves. Let wait and see!

The other day I was also preparing to be in the launch of a new mentoring program created by Ken Troyer. I discussed this in a blog post a week or two ago.

The new program is called Pipspowergroup and it sold out in a few hours. This surprised me and some of the other staff members. I guess people really want to be mentored and get one on one support.

We initially took on 50 members in order to perfect the system. Once this is done we will open the membership again. I hope to see this develop into a very profitable business. I was well paid for the initial phase yesterday and it’s a pleasure to help those members who have joined us thus far.

Another New Venture Approaching

I just got an email yesterday from Suzanne Morrison, of HomeBiz Direct asking me to join a new venture created by Ken Troyer, called the PIPS Powergroup.

As you may know I have been promoting the Plugin Profit Site(PIPS) for years now and have been quite successful. It is Ken’s idea to provide a service for plugin members to get one on one support from those who have been successful in the program, including, Suzanne, myself and other PIPS veterans

I had originally turned Ken down, because of time constraints, a few months ago but when Suzanne contacted me and I saw calibre of those taking part, I decided to reconsider.

I have always endeavoured to lay this business out in an honest, forthright manner and this new business proposition will give me the opportunity to do so to new plugin profits members.

There will be challenges ahead but I think we can make a difference to newcomers to internet marketing.

Keep a close eye on this blog in the coming weeks for the announcement of the new PIPS Powergroup.

What NOT to Do To Become an Internet Marketing Megastar

If you haven’t heard from me personally in a while it is because I haven’t been focusing much on my web business.

My last blog post was in October and I haven’t personally keep touch with my email list except through automated email to new signups. That’s bad

Sure, I’ve been doing the maintenance to make sure the dosh keeps coming but other than that it has been stalemate here. That’s the good thing and the bad thing about this business - you don’t have to be working everyday once the initial work is done.

I worked hard for the first couple of years but everything is mainly on auto-pilot now. Not great if your discipline level aren’t top notch(To say the least ). Where I differ from those who fail is that I kept at it in the initial stages - most give up before they even get there.

The megarich in internet marketing are non-stop. I don’t know if I would want to be like that. The whole point of working from home is to have freedom. To be pinned down to ANY business or job just isn’t for me. Why work from home if you spend even less time with your family and doing the things you enjoy?

If you have been following my online progress for any length of time then you will know that from time to time I disappear…lol…you don’t hear from me in a while.

I’m aware of this but up until today I have been unable to combat this. I get too easily bored with online business. Maybe I lack enough passion for the business!

I am going to try to reinvigorate myself for 2008:-)

In the meantime if you have any tips on how YOU keep yourself motivated I’d love to hear from you. Use the comment field below or drop me an email to mal@[REMOVEBEFORESENDING]malkeenan.com
So keep your eyes peeled and I’ll try to keep you updated on how I am growing my business in the new year.
