2 New Internet Business Resources Free

When I started my internet business in 2001 it was a lot different than today. Back then you pay for everything to build your site, brand yourself, create videos, etc.

Today however things are a lot different. You can get free software to create web pages. You can have a free blog. You can brand ebooks for free to give away. And now there's even a place where you can get some free videos to help build you list and make affiliate sales.

Now I don't use free software to create my web pages at FriendsWhoCare since I had to buy some when I started. However I do have a free blog. In fact I have several. I also have a membership at Viral Ebook Explosion where I get ebooks to brand and give away. And I also now have a membership at Affiliate Power Videos.

Since I've been doing business online for several years you may wonder why I use free blogs and membership sites.

Easy answer - Because these things help build my business!

Blogs are a fantastic way to promote your business because you can leave reviews for affiliate products online and they can continue to make sales for you long after you've written the review. Free blogs that provide content can even make sales if you promote things relative to your content and you provide good content on a regular basis.

As for membership sites like Viral Ebook Explosion and Affiliate Power Videos, all I can say is that I'll take all the help I can get when it comes to building my lists and making sales. And if you can't see the value of giving branded information away or using video then ... I won't even go there.

Of course the paid memberships at these sites offer much more however the free memberships aren't shabby. A free membership at Viral Ebook Explosion gives you the right to brand and sell or give away several quality information products. And right now a free membership at Affiliate Power Videos gives you professional video sign-up pages for 10 different affiliate products PLUS you also get 5 new video squeeze pages every month.

If you're able to create your own viral ebooks or make your own videos then you may not be interested in these 2 membership sites. However if you don't write your own viral ebook, you aren't making your own videos or you'd like some to make your life easier by not having to do all the work yourself then I highly recommend you check out both these membership sites.

Here they are again - Viral Ebook Explosion and Affiliate Power Videos.

P.S. With Christmas only a few days off I just have to share a video with a really funny Christmas song. And while it's really cute and I think you'll enjoy it I do have to warn you. After the song and in the ending credits there is a joke you may find offensive so you may want to stop the video at the end of the song.

Viral Ebook Explosion Review

Earlier this year Jeff Dedrick open the doors for his free membership site Viral Ebook Explosion and I signed up to see just how good it really was.

To give you view inside and see what he gives his free members I'm posting the free video he gives his affiliates to use on their "Thanks for Subscribing" page. As you view the video you'll see the site's menu buttons on the left. The "Blue" buttons are the pages available to his free members and all but the "JV Blog Contest" are currently available. The "Green" buttons are for his paid members and all of the "Red" buttons have been removed and replaced with an "Upgrade" button.

So just how good is Viral Ebook Explosion?

Well I think it's 1 of the best kept secrets internet marketing secrets on the web and here's why.

1. For his paying members there are at least 34 viral ebooks available to be branded. I think only a subset of this list is available to free members.



2. All members get access to he free video tutorials that show you how to do everything on his site.



3. He gives free products that include the Master Resell Rights available to his members.



4. He has free software available to all his members.



5. He offers a good affiliate program that pays through PayPal.
   
   And in addition paying members
   
6. Get access to his tools to easily create opt-in pages and download pages. There are 7 templates to choose from.



7. Get to host those pages on 1 of 5 of his sites.



8. Get stats on how many times the download pages have been viewed, the ebook has been downloaded and the branded links has been clicked.

So what do you do with the branded ebooks?

• You can use them as a gift to subscribers when they join your list either on your site or in a giveaway. Here's an example of 1 I used.



• You can use them as free gifts to your existing subscribers. FriendsWhoCare subscribers can get "How to Bookmark for Free Traffic" inside our membership area.



• And because they're free you allow others to give them away. In fact, since the ebooks have your affiliate links inside you want them to be given away.

Now what I really like about being a paid member of Viral Ebook Explosion is that I don't have to keep track of the giveaway ebooks, the opt-in pages or the download pages. As many of my subscribers know, I am always losing things so having someone else keep those freebies and pages organized and available is a valuable asset for me. For example, I gave you a link to 1 of my Viral Ebook Explosion opt-in pages and made the download page available to my FriendsWhoCare subscribers. These pages were created months ago for a giveaway and since they and the free ebook are being hosted on 1 of Jeff's sites I don't have to worry about losing them. (Actually, I remove giveaway pages and products from my own site when a giveaway is over only to discover that some giveaways go on long after the closing date. But now I'm protected because if someone joins my list through an old giveaway page that I've forgotten about they can still get the product inside the membership area.)

The bottom line is that I highly recommend Viral Ebook Explosion as a viral marketing tool. If you have your own site and are better organized than I am you may find that the free membership is enough. However, if you lose things like I do then the cost of the paid membership can help you keep your sanity.

To Your Success,
Susan
