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.
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.

flexx professional theme… installed.
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…
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.
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.
Here’s another random tech/organizational tip for ya that has saved me a ton of time lately.
www.instapaper.com – You can create an account for free. (no commission or affiliate link)
It happens to me several times per week… I’ll have a ton of tabs open in my web browser with great articles that I’d really love to read from different sites all over the web. The problem is actually finding time to read them. I used to try and bookmark them but inevitably, I would forget to come back and actually read them. Plus, for me, sorting through bookmarks is never all that effective.
Instapaper installs a small shortcut in your web browser that says “Read Later”. Each time you find an article that you’d love to read but don’t have time for at that moment, just click the Read Later button and all of the content of the webpage will be automatically copied over to your instapaper account and available to read whenever you’re ready.
You can also sync your instapaper account with Google Reader, or any RSS reader, and there’s also the free iphone app for catching up while you’re waiting in line someplace.
Hope you find this helpful!

So, some of you might be wondering if using special characters can improve your click thru rate….
The answer is… YES.
I have been adding special characters to my ads, and titles , of one type or another, for several years now, and the bottom line is… they work.
So.. changing your ad copy from MAKE 100K/yr to »MAKE 100K/yr« WILL actually improve your CTR – you’re right.
If you do a search for HTML special characters you’ll get a list of dozens of these bad boys that ALL WORK. There is a reason that we make such an effort to target the ‘exact’ keywords for an Adwords ad, and that’s because the ad gets BOLDED. The bold immediately draws us to the ad, and its no different with these special characters… they help draw our attention.
So, don’t take my word for it.. change the title of your ad (or your website… <tip>) to one that includes a few of these special characters, and see your CTR skyrocket.
Oh, and some editors at Google Adwords have started disapproving these characters, but not all. So if you get rejected, just try, try, again…
Feeling like a SUPER-affiliate…
FUN stuff…
Man, can’t get over how cool this stuff is. Today I surpassed my own record again on Clickbank, and I hit the 3k/week platform. As such, I’m no going to refer to myself as a super-affiliate for the rest of my days.
Not only did I hit a plateau, but because I’m now actually on some affiliate’s radars, I negotiated a 10% increase in my payouts! How sweet is that! Nothing like a free grand every month just for sending an email and asking!!!
I can still remember 6 months ago, when I thought a few hundred dollars was a good week. It’s amazing how much things can change in such a short amount of time.
I know that if you’re reading this right now, you’re probably thinking ‘how’ did I do it. And, I wish I could tell you exactly how, but literally, if I did, it would no longer work. However I do have a couple little tips that I can share that might help.
First, think OUT OF THE BOX. Think about ‘how’ people type in search phrases and why. Think about what process they go through in buying a product or looking up information. Many times the experts are flat-out WRONG.
By thinking out of the box, I came up with a method of generating over 40k visitors a week to one of my sites… FOR FREE. There ARE still many untapped markets out there, and you just need to get in the head of the potential website visitor.
How do people search on YouTube? Facebook? Myspace?(are they still around?) I guarantee that if you really think about these different scenarios, you’ll come up with some amazing ways to generate traffic and make money.
Be creative. Pay a few hundred dollars and setup your own facebook application. Or have a gigantic site built with 10 thousand pages. Or create ads on ebay to generate prospects for your business. Heck, have some wine and write an e-book.
But, under all circumstances… DON’T do the same ol’ thing. There’s too much competition.
Be creative.
It Works Marketing w/ Brandon Walsh…
So, What Is It Works Marketing?
Well, its pretty simple. It’s health and nutrition based MLM which my wife and I have been working with for the past two and half years. Their flagship product is the “Ultimate Body Applicator”, which is a body wrap which actually works. Ya, I know it sounds crazy, and if my wife and I hadn’t seen it work on literally thousands of people…. I would be saying the same thing.
So, What’s Our Story?
Well, we actually met the CEO of the company, Mark Pentecost, in our basketball league at my church. And, he invited me to one of their meetings, and while being very skeptical at first, we made the leap. We saw the vision of the company, we trusted the leaders, and we knew that this ‘type’ of product suited our society’s needs very well.
So, here we are, about two years later, and we’re making over 10k/month, and loving every minute of it. We work the It Works! business solely online, and we DON’T do any of that cold-calling, friends and family mumbo-jumbo. We find people who are serious about changing their health, and making a living from home, and let them call us!

I think I got excited or something yesterday and it cost me about $500…
I thought to myself, hey, ‘this website optimizer works great, what if the other tools in adwords work this well?’… Stupid me.
I set my cost per conversion to about $4, and google decided that $45 dollars was an acceptable cost per conversion instead!
I wake up this morning to see a cool $500 down the drain. So, if you’re thinking about using the conversion optimizer, be VERY careful. You’ve been warned.
