The Internet today is fast-paced world and it is true, it is hard to keep up with all the changes, but the wind of new beginning is so overwhelmingly clear, that I decide to go with the wind.

In a nut shell, what we use to call Advertising marketing on Internet is getting to a new stage:

• Advertising mediums are changing
• The old methods are forced to reinvent themselves
• New advertising methods are evolving as we speak

The mobile industry has worked frenetically in the last few years and now is exploding like fireworks in new innovations, new marketing methods, so I am dizzy just looking at the last month developments.
The new game in town is Mobile marketing, is dear, cell phones aka mobile devices marketing.

The appearance of Mobile Marketing is part of Web 3.0  evolution, and Mobile advertising grows in leaps and bounds.  Why? Because we have

• 1.8 billions active internet users, and
  
• 6 billions cell phones owners
  

So the Gods of Internet Marketing started to look at what they can do with smart phones such as the Apple iPhone and Google Android and they saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and start to blow the wind I am talking about.

Google bought Admob Advertizing platform for 7.5 millions, their SEO, Erick Smith, pledge that everything from this time on will be Mobil in Google developments.

My take on this is that even though mobile marketing is in his infancy stage, it will mature over the next 2-3 years. This particular opportunity is NOW ready to explode, and will be a huge benefit to be with it stating NOW, doing a little of pioneering, and growing with it.

Do I have other arguments? You bet I do…

• Did you know that text messages have an open rate of 97%? We use to advertise over the years in a lot of formats, lot of mediums, but cell phone grows up to be almost an extension of the owners, and a marketing message coming directly to your cell phone prove to be hard to ignore, so Mobile marketing generates a 15% – 20% response vs. a 1% response with conventional media
• Marketing costs are very low – texting turned to be the most cost effective way to market on mobile phones
• We can reach more customers as they are around 6 billions
  
• Pay per call blossoms now. It was first introduced by Commission Junction in 2009, which allows affiliates to drive and get paid for sending qualified phone calls to advertisers. A lot of advertisers have signed up for the PPC program and this becomes a easy way for affiliates to make money. Did you noticed that the majority mobile ad platforms have a “click-to-call” option where prospects just need to click on the ad and it will automatically call the advertiser? Now you know why.

To make the story short, I jump in this wagon NOW, actually 3 weeks ago, and I already see a clear path to prosperity, with a learning curve but the return is definitely sweet and quick vs what I use to do with Affiliate marketing when I resume my activities on just sending e-mails via an autoresponder.

I have to abandon my favorite aweber autoresponder! NO! But using Mobile Ad Platforms for my messages, they are redirecting me to a pool of 6 billions mobile owners vs. the pool of 1.8 billions of Internet users, who choose to click or not on my banners, open and read or not my emails, read or not my blog’s posts and so on.

Examples:
My first campaign was a disaster, but I didn’t lose any money and I didn’t earn as well.  I spent 3-4 day reading more about what I should advertise, how, and I realized that I didn’t advertise the right product.

The second campaign started at 11 PM and ended as 9 AM next day, so run 9 hours. In those 9 hours:

• I add 54 people to my list, only 5 un-subscribe, so I still have 49 persons added in 9 hours
• I earn $73.00

What if  I have 10 campaigns running in the same time, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 12 months?

So I am not that far, but I am working on my 3rd campaign now which will run 24 hours per day for 2 weeks… tell you later what happen… I am still in experimental mode.  Run campaigns, for a short period of time, sit back reflect, learn what is working and what is not… as nobody can tell at this point how to do it…  and keep going experimenting. I have fun and I have the good feeling that each day I learn something new and I make good progress.

I start a new blog just for Mobile Marketing, I am going in slow steps as there is a learning curve but I already start to enjoy and profit and definitely I’ll keep going to do so…  It is a friendly wind I enjoy immensely, I’ll probably get bore when I know everything, but it is a long, long way to that stage, so I enjoy what I am doing now.

Just in general, we have up till now just 2 systems of doing Mobil Marketing:

• Adam’s Mobile Monopoly which is cheap, under $100.00 and
• Gauher’s system which is close to $500.00 so
  

I use the first one and I don’t need the second one sooner then next year or even more.

My Mobile Marketing blog is about the Adam’s system which is working perfectly and some point I’ll publish enough details for my readers If you follow my new blog you will be the first to find out what I already know, do, and profit.

Until next time be well

This is troubling news, some Social Media caught releasing user information.

Just read an article in Yahoo:

“FaceBook, MySpace caught releasing user data”

and it is not only our beloved FB, MySpace it is also sites I never expected like: Digg, Lifejournal. All of them releasing info to major advertising companies.

I have no way to verify the validity of this info,

• in a way can be just Media creating sensational news from thin air or a serious problem
• in another way I really cannot believe that yahoo, which is part of the media is publishing such an article without to verify the validity of the news
• in a nasty way can be some companies which practice muddying the water for rivals…
• as Shakespeare used to say, can be “Much noise about nothing”

So coming back to my previous 2 articles about FaceBook, I say take precautions not to provide damaging type of info on Social Media.

A good friend of mine told me recently “Michey we all get older and you get younger, what is your secret?”, I ask way? He said you have the correct month/day of your birthday but the year is wrong in bla-bla.

My response was  “I did it on purpose! Did you know that with a complete birth date hackers can access a lot of sensitive info about us?“.

It was a big silence…

So all I say is just be aware, be pro-active, publish only info which is not damaging your life, reputation and work.

I hear you, I know how much we all need traffic, but take Content-Sharing Sites with a grain of salt.

Make a habit of asking why? Really – why a site in which I place an advertising article about a Digital Product need my complete birth date as mandatory field?

Until next time think about this and I  want to know your opinion about it.

A large community as Facebook is very tempting to work with, but can be a dark side of the “benefit” of  being a large community. We already start a chat on this trend and this is the continuation with more precise rules to implement.

I read a couple of articles recently which make me wander that I personally have the right approach with Facebook and even other platforms.

This is what I learned.

Don’t Use a Weak Password

We must avoid

• Simple names or words we can find in a dictionary
• If you use numbers don’t tacked them to the end
• Instead, mix upper, lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. A password should have at least eight characters with numbers or symbols in the middle of a word, such as: mIch23y4yOu, it is other alternative to: MicheyForYou

Don’t Leaving Your Full Birth Date in Your Profile

It’s an ideal target for identity thieves, who could use it to obtain more information about you and potentially gain access to your bank or credit card account. If you’ve already entered a birth date, go to your profile page and click on the Info tab, then on Edit Information. The right choice is to show only the month and day of your birthday or if the system request year as mandatory, give a bogus year.

Be Informed about Useful Privacy Controls

In your Facebook profile:

• You must limit access to only your friends, friends of friends, or yourself
• Restrict at list access to photos, birth date, religious views, and family information
• You can give only certain people or groups access to items such as photos, you also can block some people from seeing them
• Don’t give contact info, such as phone number and address, you are living in USA, this is enough

Be careful what you post in a Caption

• Don’t use a child’s name in photo tags or captions
• This is the biggest coming from collaboration, if someone else put your child’s name, delete it by clicking on Remove Tag
• If your child isn’t on Facebook and someone includes his or her name in a caption, ask that person to remove the name.

Don’t Give Detailed Info, Like What you are About to Do in Near Future

• Don’t say I’ll be away from home next week; this is like putting a “no one’s home” sign on your door. Wait until you get back to home to tell everyone how awesome your vacation was
• Be vague about the date of any trip
• With other words you can use other avenues to communicate with your closed friends, use e-mails, but don’t tell to 5,000 people what you will do tomorrow first because they don’t care, and second because you don’t really know them

But Let Search Engines Find You

To help prevent strangers from accessing your page:

• Go to the Search section of Facebook’s privacy controls and select Only Friends for Facebook search results

• Be sure the box for public search results isn’t checked.

Don’t Permit Kids to Use Facebook Unsupervised

Facebook limits its members to ages 13 and over, but children younger than that do use it. Even 13 is not enough as a limit. If you have a young child or teenager on Facebook, the best way to provide oversight is

• To become one of their online friends
• Use your e-mail address as the contact for their account so that you receive their notifications and monitor their activities. The kids don’t have bad intentions but they can goof very easily. For example, a kid who posts the comment “Dad goes to pick up Mom in one hour, I have to finish home work” every day at the same time is revealing too much about the parents’ regular schedule, is like putting an door add ”hey, non of them are home until xxx hour.”

Hi! Be honest with me and tell if you already thought about all those bullets, I didn’t. And I have to correct some of my Facebook habits; I like to sleep well…

See you on Facebook

The life is going in cycles, so do we at the crabbysbeach.

On Affiliate Marketing we enter now in a mature phase, no more baby little steps, no what ifs.
We know so far this market and our aim is to bring it to perfection.

Affiliate Marketing is a huge subject; almost everything in our activities has at least a wing attached to and affiliate marketing directly or indirectly.

Blogs, static websites, membership sites, directories, forums, all of them, in a way or another contain affiliate links and we know and accept the universal truth that making money means selling.

Web 2.0 applications and now Web 3.0 both encouraging interactions are really creating avenues for free traffic which basically flourish the activities of affiliate marketing as never before.
So in the last 3-4 month the Affiliate Marketing activities were dispersed in 3 main blogs on the beach, each of them having a unique purpose:

• http://affiliate-marketing.crabbysbeach.com/blogs it is this blog, it contains news, web 2.0 and web 3.0 Applications at the general level
• http://affiliate-ecourse.crabbysbeach.com/blogs is a blog with a mission; it is really a course trying to explain and clarify important steps of selling as an affiliate product which is a digital product
• http://monetize-blog.crabbysbeach.com/blogs/ is a blog which lay out techniques to monetize out blogs, it is an important step in the right direction as our blogs are product reviews, of hub of entire activity, our major component of the traffic we need

At any level, from novice to a medium affiliate marketers, those 3 blogs produce a lot of knowledge starting with How to create a Squeeze Page and ending with How to set up a Drip-Feed Membership Site.

My promise to my members is to continue in the same direction, but with a more sophisticate level.
We have now group chat, group forum, I’ll extend the invitation for other knowledgeable people to participate as visitors and post on those blogs, and this group must be our way of effectively communicating within our group.
You can put questions request new directions, and our dialog will improve the entire concept of Affiliate Marketing Group

As a general note, even though we call it “Affiliate Marketing Group” all you learn about selling an affiliate product will help you to sell your own products as well.

So we are larger in scope, flexible, we know that this is a difficult niche and the competition is really huge, and we will do out best to conquer the crown of a large niche.
Until the next time be well

Do you want your profile on Facebook to be more dynamic?

Sure you do! The new innovation of  Facebook is creating an all-new way to share your “likes” and “interests”, and they do this via Community Pages.

I am relatively new with Facebook, I struggle to get up-to-the-speed. When I was proud of myself that finally I know what: Facebook profiles, Pages and Groups are, at lease I hope I know, they come with another mystery feature Community Pages.

So, I look it over.  It looks a whole lot like the Facebook Pages but Community Pages was created for “unofficial” Pages that have been created by users in support of a topic or a cause. And the real caviar is that if a page becomes popular enough, Facebook administration will put it to the Facebook community, kind of a wiki. Isn’t it?

This is where you can create a community page

This is the left part where you can create a page:

And this is the right part where you create Community Pages and Groups:

Facebook  creates the mechanism of clicking a button that says “become a fan” to start following a specific brand, and also creates the mechanism for users to “like” a brand.
The definition of  Facebook is that “Like” links offer “a simple, consistent way for people to connect with the things they are interested in”.
It is interesting that, people click “Like” almost two times more than they click “Become a Fan”. I think because  “Become a Fan” is kind of vague, I “like” is more action oriented.

So, this is a new Facebook terminology, the “like” which means for us  more ability to easily express affinity vs.  “becoming a fan” of pages — which were limited to brands and organizations. Now users could simply click a button stating that they liked

• a simple page or
• a brand or
• an organization.

After that lingo, Facebook launched Community Pages. Now, users can “like” topics on a page in addition to brands.

Important: These community pages aren’t run by individuals, so they don’t have a wall and don’t send updates to users’ feeds, but they import streams of related, public content from user status messages.

Status text is split into:

• updates from friends and
• updates from all Facebook users.

Let’s say I write in a status update to everyone, “I love this new bla-bla”,  Facebook recognizes the term “bla-bla” and imports my public update to the bla-bla community page.

Community Pages also include relevant information from Wikipedia under a Wikipedia tab.

Sorry if still look confusing, but practice will bring some light. All those thinks are so new what when you think you learn them something new is already on the platter.

Until next time be informed
