Need some facebook images for your advertising campaign? Welp, I have the answer!

If you’re like me, you probably often search google images looking for pics to use in your advertising before you start paying for them… BUT, then you spend hours getting them formatted, cropped, and ready to roll…

Well, I recently discovered a little trick to make Google do all the work for you! It’s the exactly size setting.

So, checkout this illustration below, I think it conveys the message quite swimmingly. :)

Okay, so I have one more cool tip to mention in this same blog post…

I know, amazing, right?

It’s called the Facebook Ad Manager, and if you do any advertising on Facebook, it’s a huge time-saver.

FBads1

Without giving you the whole run-down of benefits, here’s what it really does:

“It allows you to automatically upload thousands of different FB ads with different pictures and different copy in just a few minutes…”

THEN, it allows you split test those variations against different ages, gender, etc, and reports to you the winners.

So, if that doesn’t catch your eye, you don’t really advertise on Facebook.

You can get the Facebook ads manager here for $199 (one time)

P.S. After you get the software, check this software out by Jonathan Volk… It explains how he made over $1,000,000 promoting on Facebook, and this kid is YOUNG!

I found an AWESOME piece of software a few weeks ago, and now that I’m putting it to use, I thought I’d share it with my wonderful readers ;)

The software is called Conduit, and you can check it out for yourself at Conduit.com.

What does it do, you ask?

Well, it allows you to create your own ‘toolbar’ that installs in any Internet browser, and it can be totally customized to your niche, site, etc… Here is an example toolbar that I recently created

Ever since I first found this software, my brain has just been REELING with ideas and excitement for all the different ways I could use it. Sure, toolbars aren’t exactly everybody’s favorite software on Earth, but this software is different because of HOW customizable it is.

For instance, you can create an entire toolbar about dating, and every link in it can be embedded with your affiliate links to different dating, match, and social connection sites. Now, how about giving your amazing new toolbar away on your Facebook dating fan page as a bonus?

Or how about a ’shopping’ toolbar that has all your affiliate links to every online retailer on earth?

What really makes this Conduit toolbar so cool, is that it’s completely dynamic. So, if you decide that you want to add a HOT new affiliate offer link into the toolbar, it updates on ALL your users screens almost instantly. And, better yet, you can MESSAGE all your users, and they get a pop-up on their desktop. I can’t think of a more effective and blatant means of advertising than that.

Anyway, I could go on all day about this new software. But, check it out for yourself. It’s pretty amazing.

well, I got bored and decided to change the theme of my blog tonight. :)

I have to say, even though I’m not totally sold on the ‘look’ of my site right now, I’m LOVING the flexibility of this template. I only wasted an hour or so getting images and headers setup (not quite done yet, however).

If you have a wordpress blog and you’re looking for a nice template, definitely google the ‘flexx theme’.

I might not keep this theme active on my blog for all too long, but I guarantee i’m going to use my multi-site license to crank out a few more sites using this. You can change the # of columns, the header navigation, background colors, etc… Very nice little perks for a $79 theme.

Anywho, just wanted to share the experience and give a review. I’m pretty certain someone will find this after googling “flex review” and might find it helpful. :)

cheers!

feeling thankful in oz…

February 21, 2010

so, here I am, sitting on my balcony, half-way round the world in Melbourne Australia…

it was 90 degrees today, so naturally, now that its 9PM its cooled to about 70 with a nice breeze. Seemed like the perfect time to grab a beer and write a blog post.

I think the most proper thing to do, would be to THANK all the cool people I’ve learned from over the past year…

first off, our good friends, and biz partners Kami and Nate… (our biz partners whom we traveled to OZ (australia) with) – they literally built our ‘mlm’ business for us, while we were skeptical and incapable in the early goings.

www.thebusinessmommy.com

second, all my teammates, downlines, and sidelines in It Works Marketing… I take them for granted sometimes, but I am thankful, b/c if it wasnt for them, I wouldnt be here right now.

third, my friends Matt Koshko and Darren Olander… these guys don’t even know they helped me. their software and list building programs gave me the capital I needed to really get going with my business(es) and make the money I needed to retire (I like to say retire, even though I work my TAIL OFF online still) (but love it)

www.mattkoshko.com
www.darrenolander.com

fourth, my family, my friends, and the internet top-dawgs… all these persons fueled my fire to KEEP learning. and learning is really what makes it all happen. if I would have quit even 1 year ago, I’d be broke, bored, and not half-way round the world, and retired at 28.

so, thanks OZ, thanks friends, thanks fam, and thanks It Works.
