Nope! We're gonna create a series of lenses (including this one) that will be solely for providing cool tips, tutorials, guides, videos... the works! All FREE!!

Affiliate Marketing is NOT some big secret...some mystery that only a privileged few 'Gurus' can master. It's just marketing, common sense, and hard work...YOU can do it too...and WE can help you get there.

Squidoo Policy Changes 

What a hulla balu!

Crikey, there has been some major panic, misinformation, the usual bull, etc. about the latest Squidoo changes coming into effect next month...

So, let's have your thoughts on it. That is your thoughts as Internet Marketers...

Are The New Squidoo Policy Changes A Good Thing For Marketers?

Squidastic!

sonelt says:

Its a good thing. Internet Marketers need more trust on the web, and think what Squidoo is doing is a good step in the right direction

biltmore says:

Yes. After things cool down, the new rules will help keep Squidoo on the web to our mutual benefit.

ProfessorMetal says:

Looks to me like a great move. Quality beats fluff and crap any day. :-)

NicheReaper says:

Personally I think they are a good thing. There are too many lenses that are just straight sales pitches to a product. They have no inherent value in themselves.

Damp Squib

Guru or Geek?

Guru

ranganbadri says:

Potpie girl is the best. None can beat her.

Lbaker729 says:

Between Jennifer and Travis I would call them gurus even if they don't think they are. I have learned so much from these two than any other place.

genewolfe says:

to lead, you must first follow

Areaman says:

Travis got me interested in IM but Potpiegirl really made it make sense in my head.

JNFerree says:

IMHO, No list is complete unless Marlon Sanders is on it!

Geek

electrical_blogger says:

I personally can't stand Gurus. In my opinion, ANYONE at Wealthy Affiliate could achieve this status over time.

NicheReaper says:

Maybe JNFerree, but you didn't add him. YOU need to add who you think is any good and then vote for them.

NicheReaper says:

Well, I guess you're right Riley. After all Jen (aka PotPieGirl) IS our head Guru. LOL! I just KNOW she'll lurve that!

NicheReaper says:

That's a very pertinent comment Robert! Ah! The Gurus and their magic tools. But often, as you say, the Geeks ain't so good at publicizing them or even seeing the potential.

Charlie43 says:

So-called "goo-roos" make me gag - geeks OTOH - now there is a learned skill. Not anyone can bite the head off a chicken and not spew.

Flame War Time! 

Ya can't beat a good old row to get the juices flowing...

OK, I'm picking a fight here... and I'm picking a fight with YOU!

See, the thing is you all say you want to quit your day jobs, right?... Say goodbye to 'working for the man'!

But what happens on a weekend? When you could be working on your IM biz? Everywhere goes quiet, the forums, the membership sites... so what you doing?

Spending time with your families, chilling out, getting drunk? Hell, I don't care... but I'll tell you this... if you are serious, and I mean really serious, about your IM business, you are gonna have to work really hard at it!

Thad did... surviving on 3 hours sleep a night for months whilst holding down a regular job, until he quit.

Different again for me... I got made redundant... tried a couple of (failed) offline businesses... Internet Marketing was the last chance Saloon for me!

So how serious are you?

This is why the real Gurus clean up... with their latest magic tricks... easy route answers...

Come on... give me a kicking!

Call Youself An IMer?...Are You Hardcore or Armchair?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Hardcore

Financial-Freedom101 says:

Definitely hardcore! Luckily, I only work 3 days wk. The rest of my time...I'm working on IM, writing articles, research, study, write some more articles, submit, submit, submit! It's been 14 mos and I'm finally seeing results. Yeah for me:-) Great lens btw

jbauer0318 says:

I spend my weekends, evenings and some late nights when I can't sleep doing this! I even sneak in some time during my lunch hour at my regular job... shhhhh don't tell my boss!

genewolfe says:

obssesive, compulsive, sprung, w/ADD

electrical_blogger says:

I spend almost EVERY waking second studying IM when I'm not running my business. But business isn't too great these days anyway.

ElizabetFitz says:

My family say I am Hardcore! Although I have been known to do keyword research in my armchair at times. 12 hours a day fitted around child care and family duties, start at 8.30am and finish at 10.30pm - that's pretty hardcore!

Ruth

Armchair

NicheReaper says:

Hey nice dress Ruth... pretty hardcore that one! And yeah you can spend toooo much time on IM. So work out a plan and stick to it. You'll get there as long as you don't give up!

Shankspony says:

The armchair can be hard to resist, but even when I do, the hours a parent can put in are limited. You just have to go slower, or else you don't see your kids, and that is too precious to miss out on. Balance is the thing - we are social animals, and the net, however many friends you find there, must not take us away from the people we care about.

Hi JN,

Well the best keyword research tool is your brain and your research but for an actual tool we use MicroNicheFinder.
