It seems that whenever you go click on a post to go read the full entry, a 404 message appears. It’s as if all my posts have gone missing with the sunset and I have NO idea how to fix this (I’m a techno dunce).

Does anyone know how to fix this? I really appreciate any help you guys can give!

(thanks Aarron for the heads up…)

Oh I just realized I can’t even accept comments now. You can email adam[at]adam-wong.com if you could help me out here. Thanks!

Hi Adam, recently i restarted a web site that i created a few years back and wanted to inform my list of about 1000 emails. However, alot of emails got bounched back and i contacted my hosting and my hosting told me that they only allow us to send 200 emails per hour to prevent spamming. I did not have this problem the last time.
I contacted other hosting providers and they all have the same limits.
How do you overcome this problem since you have such a big list?
Thank you.

Thomas

Ooops! I’m sorry! I mean Thomas…

Anyway, to answer your question – OMIGOD! Don’t think about using a typical webhost for building your list and to deliver emails. It’s suicide. Webhosting companies are good at one thing – web hosting, NOT for delivering email and storing your leads.

If you’re really serious about having a proper system to store your leads and to email them on time, all the time, get a professional autoresponder. A really good autoresponder will help you to store your leads, import, export, ensure that your emails get delivered on time (because they also work with major ISPs out there), queue up your follow-up emails, yadda yadda yadda, etc.

In short, it will automate your operations, help you make more money, buy that Ferrari for you, make you fall in love with them, and it only costs less than $15 a month. What a deal!

I recommend either using Aweber (my first choice) or GetResponse for your autoresponder needs. Forget the rest!

Hi Adam,

I am 19 this year , and i started Internet marketing 3 weeks ago. May i know where you found the templates for your blog? i want to make a blog like yours to get traffics. I read too many scam E-books and i found SSMM is the best!haha. i am starting to see my click bank coming in ..hehe…I want to be like “AdamS”.

Regards
Steve

Hi Steve!

Secrets Of Self-Made Millionaires is the best?

YES. (I’m biased…)

Anyway, a great place to hunt for themes is Theme Viewer.
The one I’m personally using for this blog is Super Adsense. I like because it’s clean, simple, and I think it looks great.

And if you ever need more places to hunt for themes, just go Google it.

cheers

here’s your question:

Hi Adam,

May I know which web editor do you use to create your website and how much
does it cost?
How about your webhosting company? How much do you pay every month?
Could you recommend a good book to start Internet marketing business?

Thanks a zillion!

Nice last name….

Anyway, to anser your questions:

I use Microsoft Frontpage, I can’t remember exactly how much it costs (around $300+ I think…) but you could consider using it. If you’re familiar with MS Word, Frontpage won’t be too difficult a step up.

If you’re on a budget, visit Nvu and download their free web editor. I haven’t use it myself before, but I’ve always had people mention this as an alternative.

I recommend using Bluehost for webhosting, they’re the guys I use and they’re reasonable too – $6.95/month.

And the last question, I would undoubtedly recommend Derek Gehl’s Insider Secrets course. It is the by far the most COMPLETE guide out there that teaches you how to start an internet business. PERIOD.

And it’s cheap too ($197), considering the amount of valuable information and education you’ll be getting. And also because of there’re really lousy products selling for $97 out there. So you get the picture; Insider Secrets is a steal.

Hope I’ve helped you out here!

And so… yes, someone did ask me again.

Hi Adam:

I would not want to let go this opportunity to ask a long kept question.
I can’t create a clickbank account with Malaysian address, Malaysia is not listed in the clickbank country list.

I was thinking to register using Singapore address, and deposit my clickbank cheque in Malaysia, is it allowed to do that ?

Thanks for your advice.

Regards:
Steve

Hiya Steve,

It is unfortunate that Clickbank doesn’t accept Malaysian accounts, so that makes things a tad inconvenient for aspiring internet marketers. But obviously, there are many Malaysians out there who are doing really well online and I’m sure they’ve found a way to sidestep this issue.

My suggestion is to open a Singapore Clickbank account and have those cheques mailed to your Singapore address. From there, how you want to process the cheques is up to you. Either bank it in a local bank and then remit the money back to Malaysia or have the cheques sent to Malaysia and then bank it there.

I guess you’d have to check with the banks for details on how best to do this and to find out if there’re any restrictions, etc. Or better yet, go network with a Malaysian Internet marketer, buy him a kopi, and find out.

Anyway, here it is:

Hi Adam, not sure if this is a dumb question but why do bloggers always have tags at the end of each post? Is it for search engine to find easily or just some keywords? I just converted my website into a blog and seems like I can never finish learning. Somehow, if possible, can you advise me on how I can improve my blog?

Ok Hi Andrew,

The reason is this…

Bloggers have tags at the end of the post is simply to gain a reciprocal link with technorati (the Google of blogs). So for example, if I tagged my post “Internet Marketing”, first of all the tag is obviously a link I give to technorati. And in return, technorati will have a link back to my post under the search term “Internet Marketing”.

One caveat, technorati will always show the latest posts for each given term. So for a term like Internet Marketing, that would be a pretty hot term. Which means that it is constantly being updated and so your post wouldn’t probably last long on the 1st page of technorati.

So anyway, the gist is, you place tags because you want to appear on technorati’s results, so you get traffic from there. And you want to pick a less competitive tag so you can last longer on the first page of results, which means more traffic for you.

I’ll give you a quick tip on how to improve your blog – Simply model the BEST blogs out there. Observe where and how they place their adsense, see what plugins or widgets they use. Notice how they write their posts, or how they connect with their audience.

But don’t just follow blindly though. For example, just because some blog is using a certain plugin means you have to use it too. Think about whether adding something to your blog is going to increase your readers’ experience or is it just going to be a distraction?

Anyway, following real-life examples is always a great way to learn.

And yes, we will never finish learning.

if you want an easy way to tag your posts, I suggest using a plugin. Visit Michel Fortin’s blog for some great tips.

ahem… anyway, here’s it:

Hi Adam,

I’m responding to your call for questions on your blog!

I would like to find out what software do you use to create rebrandable pdf files.

Thanks alot!

Regards,
Calvin

Great question! Because rebrandable pdfs are a great way to drive traffic to your site and boost sales. Plus you offer a really great tool for your affiliates to help market and promote your product.

OK, let’s begin. I use Viral PDF to create my rebrandable pdfs. You can go to viralpdf.com to purchase their software. You need this to create a rebrandable pdf. In fact, when you buy their product, it comes with all the instructions you need on how you can go about creating a rebrandable pdf. But i’ll cover it here also, so you can discover how it’s done.

Once you bought viralpdf, next you’d have to create your pdf. So just whip out your regular word processor and start typing out your report.

Once you’re done typing, now you have to add links in your report to your website. Normally, when you add a link you’d just do a regular link, like www.domain.com, and that’s it. But now because you want ALL your links to be able to be rebranded by an affiliate, you now have to do this part a little bit different.

The reason i say ALL is because you want all your links to be rebranded by your affiliate. You don’t want to have any regular links and cause your affiliate to potentially lose sales because of theses ‘leaks’. So don’t do that and piss your affiliates off. They’re very important people.

So this is how you create a rebrandable link (I’ll use Clickbank aff links as an example).

This is how a normal Clickbank aff link looks like: http://xxxxx.vendor.hop.clickbank.net

The xxxxx being whatever the affiliate’s ID is and vendor being whatever your clickbank ID is you use to sell your product. So now you only want the xxxxx part of the link to be variable and be able to be rebranded by an affiliate.

So when you are creating the link, you do this instead: http://{–clickbank–}.vendor.hop.clickbank.net

This will tell the viralpdf program that {–clickbank–} is part of the link which you want to be rebranded. So now you just use http://{–clickbank–}.vendor.hop.clickbank.net for any part of your report you want linked to your website.

Ok, I hope you got that. So now once your report is all typed out and your links are done properly, you now need to convert it to a pdf. So unless you have adobe (you rich guy…), you can use this free alternative instead – http://convert.neevia.com

Great! Now you’ve created your pdf, you now need to ‘sign’ your pdf with the viralpdf software. You need to do this step to allow your pdf to be rebrandable. Once that’s done, that’s it! You just created your rebrandable pdf.

Now all you need to is to test to see if it works correctly by rebranding the pdf yourself and seeing what happens. If you did all right, then you can start distributing the whole thing.

Of course you can also use viralpdf to rebrand practically anything you want in your pdf, not neccessarily just affiliate links. You can allow regular links and words to be rebranded as well. So it’s all really up to you…

Whew! I hope I explained in a way which made sense to you… but anyway, if you want to have a LIVE example of a rebrandable pdf, you can download mine and see how it’s done:
