REVIEWS - private+label+rights

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately about Private Label Rights (PLR) content. I used to think that it was only for lazy people who didn’t want to do their own writing. But as I learn more, I’ve come up with lots of great ways I can use PLR in my own business.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, PLR is content that you get from the original author along with their permission to use it as your own. So you can get a great report, put your name on it and have your own product to sell or give away!

The first couple of products I created using PLR only took me about half an hour. There have been a few sales so far from them so that was definitely time well spent.

When searching for PLR content to use, I found there were a lot of different types of sites available. Some offered monthly memberships and others offered just one time purchases. So be sure to look around before you decide where to buy.

The site I found that was by far the best was PLRWholesaler. Not only do they have an unbelievable amount of content, but it’s completely FREE. Most sites charge an arm and a leg for the amount of content that this guy is giving away.

And although I haven’t been through everything yet, what I have read is very good quality.

It’s stuff you would actually want to use as your own.

Since it’s free, I highly recommend that you check out PLRWholesaler and see if they have anything that you can use in your business. There just may be an ebook or audio recording that you could quickly brand with your information and start selling to your list.

Check it out and let me know what you think...

Review of: Ad Word Generator

Create Up To Hundreds of Killer Google Ads In 10 Seconds?

Review of: Ad Word Generator

Reviewed by: Houseofmax

Google AdWords is the most popular pay-per-click search engine. With a
tiny start-up investment (as little as ), you can start running your ads
on websites throughout the internet.

However, as its popularity has grown, so has the often cut-throat
competition. In many markets, getting a profitable campaign going has
become a serious challenge.

This is why I am always looking for new tools to give an edge in the
AdWords game. So, I was thrilled when I came across a tool called, “Ad
Word Generator” that promised to create up to hundreds of professionally
written ads in about 10 seconds.

At first I was skeptical of this claim. How is that possible?

Well, as I dived into the tool and put it work I was immediately impressed.
The software works by taking proven selling phrases and combining them
to instantly generate winning ads. You can even input your own selling
phrases and have the software pop-out personalized ads.

All it takes from your end is a few clicks of a button!

But, Ad Word Generator doesn’t stop there. Probably, the most valuable
feature is that it offers a system to manage all of your ads in an organized
way. The software then uploads any ads you want right into your account
with only a few clicks of a button.

And before it does that, the software even checks your ads to make sure
they meet all of the advertising guidelines.

In other words, this tool is a real time saver. It takes the guess-work out of
creating your ads and makes it a point and click job.

As a result, it easily saves hours a week if you have more than one
campaign… and when you’ve got to run a business (where every minute
counts), then this tool is a must-have.

So, the bottom line is… If you want a shortcut to profiting from AdWords,
then this tool is a legitimate solution. You no longer have to stress over
coming-up with good ads and just let this point and click solution make
dominating AdWords a breeze!

DesktopLightning.com - Strengths and Weaknesses

Friday 5 March 2010 @ 2:59 pm

========================================
DesktopLightning.com - Strengths and Weaknesses
========================================

Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars (* * * * 1/2)

In A Nutshell
————-

A catchy new viral marketing tool, capable of broadcasting messages directly to people’s desktops. Easy to use, and caters primarily to those who have something they want to promote and are looking for a better way to do it.

(Read on for why I didn’t give it 5 stars)

1. Initial Impressions
———————-

When I was first introduced to DesktopLightning.com, I wasn’t quite sure exactly what to think. Everyone was saying it was going to be more powerful than e-mail marketing, but this seemed like too bold of a claim.

I signed up anyway, since I usually give things a chance – that’s how I have found the several sites I do really trust and rely on.

The signup process did take about 60 seconds, as advertised, and their software program downloaded and installed in about 30 seconds. No long, tedious install processes here. If you own downloadable software, you might want to take a look at how quick their install process is.

Right after installing the software, it ran immediately, and I was quickly presented with a tool to invite my friends.

Within one-click’s access was my Inbox, the tool to send broadcasts, a statistics page, and my favorite, the “Build Your Network” page.

I’ll get more into why that’s my favorite page later.

2. Viral Growth
—————

This is where the site really shines, in my opinion. The purpose of a viral marketing site is that you should be able to invite just a few people, and then it will start growing on its own.

Many sites claim to work like this, but few actually work as advertised.

I’m not sure if it’s because of their unique concept or the slick implementation, but this site is REALLY viral. Here’s some of the testimonials they got, which I think sum it up pretty well:

      “I haven’t ever seen a system build a downline so fast. I joined your program just to try something new. Four days later I had a downline of 43 people.  This is unbelievable.”

           ~ Harry Joseph

      “I invited just a handful of people only a few days ago and I already have 48 members on 5 levels below me. I am going to keep promoting this, but I see it has a life of it’s own now. I couldn’t stop my network from expanding if I wanted to!”

~ David Parton

“This website is so viral - I received over 100 sign-ups and my network is already 5 levels deep in less than 48 hours.”

           ~ Rene Keiser

Although they obviously can’t guarantee results for anyone, the general consesus is that most people who do get those initial few people in are experiencing results similar to these.

I give DesktopLightning.com an A+ for spreading like wildfire.

3. Direct-To-Desktop Broadcasts
——————————-

So, once you have the people in your network from the direct invitations and the viral growth, then it really gets cool.  Now is when you get to broadcast whatever message you want directly to their desktops.

Gone are the days of sending out emails and wondering if they were received due to spam filters and crowded inboxes.

If you upgrade to their Platinum membership, then you can even get exact statistics on the percentage of your broadcasts that were opened, but the Platinum membership is not the subject of this review.

Here’s how it works — the DesktopLightning.com software is what allows the direct-to-desktop communication to be received. Since everyone in your network will have the DesktopLightning.com application installed, just as you do, this is what allows such smooth and instant communication to occur.

Within one hour of your sending the message, everyone in your network who is online will receive a notification on their desktop that they can click to read your message.

Anyone who isn’t online at the time will receive it when they  log on next.

I’m sure you can see why this type of communication has been more successful than email as of late, so I won’t get into it too much here. The basic point though is that there’s no way your message can be lost, overlooked, or blocked by any filters.

If you upgrade to their Platinum service you can do things like embed video and sound right into the broadcast, but again, I’ll save the Platinum service for another review.

4. Building Your Network
————————

Most sites out there nowadays don’t really help you build a network of people below you. They just throw you a URL and tell you to run with it.

While this works for most advanced people, it’s not something that’s very easy for people who are just starting out.

DesktopLightning.com went really far this time to make sure that everyone has a way to bring people into their network, regardless of skill level.

When you click on the “Build Your Network” link from within their application, you’ll be presented with a surprising number of tools to help you build your downline.

Everything from banners, to popups, to text ads, to invitation tools, to emails to send out, etc.

Then, they continue to offer something which I haven’t seen on any Internet Marketing site yet — they have a “Starting From Scratch” section, designed specifically for people who have no list and no website with traffic.

If you’re in that position, then you’ll love this section, since they detail specific strategies you can use to promote DesktopLightning.com (or anything for that matter), even if you don’t have anything to start with.

Quite a valuable resource.

5. Not For Everyone
——————-

With all that said, the only downside to DesktopLightning.com is that it’s not for everyone.

Of course, some might see that as an upside, since it’s a more targeted opportunity.

Basically, the bottom line is that DesktopLightning.com is a promotional tool. You need to have something you want to promote or advertise before you can really make use of the site.

This is all due to the fact that the basic concept is that you build a viral network of people, and then broadcast something to it.

But, this “something” is whatever you want, so you must already have something you’d want to send to a lot of people.

If you don’t have something yet, you could start building your network first, and then once you get something to promote you’ll be ready to launch it immediately.

If you do have something to promote, that’s when the site really shines.

6. Conclusion
————-

I would recommend this site to anyone who has something to promote or advertise.

It definitely works, and your downline will grow extremely fast if you put some energy into getting it started.

The direct-to-desktop broadcasts are a killer app in today’s online climate, where emails barely even get through anymore.

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it has nothing to offer for people who don’t have anything to promote or advertise yet.

If you want to advertise or promote something to a lot of   people in a unique and poweful way, then this site is for you.

——————-

At any rate, my general opinion is that since it’s so quick to set up and try, if you have something you want to promote you might as well go check it out.

You can always remove it later if you decide you don’t like it.
