Guest Post – Gauher Chaudhry
Posted by: | CommentsI was going through the results of the survey that I took of my Cool Cash Ezine readers a few months ago and I was surprised by the number of comments from readers writing about how much they hate Internet marketing gurus.
I do agree that valuable content coming from the big IM gurus in their emails has dropped drastically over the last few years.
Now, it seems that it is a non-stop pitch fest of one product launch to the next by the top dogs in almost all their emails these days.
But is that really why you hate IM gurus?
Is it because they talk about how much absurd money they make every month that ticks you off?
Is it because they seem to be a close knit group that promotes the hell out of each other’s stuff?
I started drilling the survey results closely and noticed that the negative comments were coming from the readers who indicated that they were making less than $1,000 per year from their online activities.
So my question really is, do you hate IM gurus because they are successful and you are not? … Click Here To Read More →
Three Wise Men – Part 1
Posted by: | CommentsI really did catch a lot of grief from my blog post the other day at:
http://www.shmoozewithben.com/dreams/stop-chasing-the-dream
but I can handle that.
What did cause my blood to boil though was the negativity that I felt in the comments.
There was an overwhelming feeling that people have been screwed time and time again both emotionally and financially. That really upset me. You see, I don’t think that the people who made those comments are naive. What I think the problem is, is that everyone needs a direction to follow and it is difficult to know who to follow.
I have been in this business for quite a few years now, so have been able to sort out the chaff from the barley.
We are all in the business to make money, and I don’t see anything wrong with that, but what I also like to see are people with truth, honesty and integrity.
I thought that what I would do in this post is tell you about a few people in IM that I admire and why. There are many more, but let’s save those for another day.

Affiliate Links And Cookies – part 1
Posted by: | CommentsIf you have read one of my emails, then you will know that almost all of the time when I make a product recommendation instead of putting the full link, I put something like:
http://www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/someword
This is called link redirecting, and I do it for several reasons:
1. People hate to click on long senseless links, so this makes it much more friendly.
2. If you are partaking in a large launch then some spam blockers don’t like it if you put the same domain name as hundreds of other people are also using.
3. I am able to easily track how many people have clicked through my link.
4. It is easy to frame pages meaning that affiliate details are not easily shown and a whole host of other reasons which I will go over in a future post. A few people have asked me recently how I do it.
I use a piece of software called Redirect Magic, available from http://www.redirectmagic.com . It’s free and it’s also pretty powerful.
I actually bought the whole site a few months ago and so made it free as I wanted others to be able to use it without having to pay for it.
So, if you want a free link cloaker, then go to:
