I’ve been thinking about making my blog posts more for the noobs than the experienced marketers, mainly because I don’t really consider myself that much of an affiliate master/wizard/baller/insert suitable word here.

The site I’m showcasing today is for the noobs. I mean, it was made to help noobs! A pretty good idea for a site if you ask me.

What is EPN?

EPN stands for Ebay Publisher Network. It’s a way of making money out of Ebay by referring people to the site. You can make money when people sign up to Ebay, and you can also get paid when people win auctions.

Why epnStore.com?

Simple, a lot of noobs struggle to get themselves accepted to EPN in the first place. And the ones that do get accepted can’t work out the technical side of things like implementing it into their own websites.

epnStore.com takes away any need for a noob to understand all these complexities. Instead, I’m led to believe that the only code you need to use is this:

[epnstore]keywords, more paramaters here[/epnstore]

You could teach a monkey to write that!

The point of all this is so that noobs to the industry can concentrate on other points of interest such as promoting and marketing their sites.

At the moment epnStore only works with US marketers, and at this time there aren’t any plans to accept other countries.

Whenever I see this:

…I know I’m on a Make Money Online blog. How many people are gonna use the same theme? I’ve seen it on Cash Tactics, which is a blog I actually like and I imagine they might have been one of the first to use it. But now it seems like every man and his dog is using this theme.

Everytime I go to a site like that I think I’m about to get scammed. Usuaully I am.

And I’m fed up of seeing these make money online blogs saying how they are “for the newbie” and that they don’t want to make any money themselves, they’re just giving away the info out of the goodness of their heart. And then all you see is product review after product review, and program after program.

There’s not even that much money in the niche, i don’t understand why people are so bothered about having a blog about making money. The only reason this blog exists is because I sometimes feel like writing about my experience online. Hardly anyone visits it and I have to say I’m not really that bothered.

The point I’m trying to make here is this. Why don’t these expert marketers go out and find a niche that doesn’t has every other jackass trying to make a profit in it. Or, here’s a real novel idea. Actually put information that isn’t a load of crap, and have the guts to give out something helpful. Otherwise just go away and leave the rest of us in peace.

Scumbags.

I’ve just updated my links list to include three of my favourite internet marketing blogs. You might be suprised to see that some of the more famous faces aren’t there, and there’s a good reason for that.

I’ve only included the blogs which have helped me to make money in the past, or have given me inspiration to do something different and be a little creative. I thought I’d give a shout out to them and include at least one of what I would call their best posts.

Blue Hat SEO

Everyone knows Eli, creator of SQUIRT, PingCrawl and other awesome goodies. I have spent a lot time on that site lapping other the information,  and I have to admit that a lot of it goes way over my head. The whole site is geared around advanced SEO tactics and always seems to be one step ahead of the game.

The one post you would do well to read, even if it’s just to think about what you’d like to do one day when you get some skills, is this:

SEO Empire Part 1

Digerati Marketing

Another Godsend for me has been Mark from Digerati Marketing. He writes in an easy to understand style, and lays everything out for you. And the best reason to read his blog is that he’s from the UK…

…like me

One of the things you’ll notice about this blog is that, like Blue Hat SEO, it’s not updated regularly. But, the quality of the posts that have already been written more than makes up for that, just have a look through the archives.

My favourite post to date from Mark is this:

Make Money With a Video Blog

Glowleaf

I’ve only just recently stumbled upon this guy, and I’ve devoured everything on that blog. I like his no-nonsense approach to internet marketing, none of that “guru” stuff that you get from all the, well, gurus I guess.

I read this post recently, a truly awesome post for newbies (I still classify myself as somewhat newbyish):

How To Create Your First Online Asset

That’s it from me, I’m sure there’s loads more I’ve missed but that’s what springs to mind at the moment. If you want to suggest anyone else, or even yourself, then feel free to leave a comment.

I’d never bought a .info domain before. In fact, to say I’m supposedly an “internet marketer”, I don’t think I’ve bought many domains at all in the past. Still, it was an interesting experience.

The word on the street was that GoDaddy are the people to go to, and so they were, offering me a domain for a measly 91p. Now, you can laugh all you want, but I was actually confused. The interface, the shopping cart, the flashing lights. Man, it was like walking into a shopping centre at Christmas. It took me a whole half an hour to navigate my way through, past the clumsey displays - “No, I don’t want to add web hosting to my basket, but you’ve added it anyway”.

But I prevailed, and out of the flames and smoke I come brandishing my newly claimed domains. I was taken aback at how stressful it was, and it made me think how hard it must be for all those noobs who’ve never done this sort of thing. I’m used to messing around with my server, and cutting and pasting bits of PHP, just the odd thing here and there. But when I was confronted by something new, something alien, I stopped like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming vehicle.

“This must be what it feels like to be a noob”. So hats off to any those noobs that actually make it in online business cos from my brief little encounter I have a feeling it’s pretty tough.
