The Internet Business That Requires NO Website
By George Dahir
You may be surprised to know that you can make money online WITHOUT a fancy, content-filled website.
But it’s true.
Not only that, you don’t need to create any products. Nor do you need a list of prospective customers. Or any employees. Or any experience.
You do need three things to make this business work:
1. You need to belong to an affiliate marketing program.
The company hosting the affiliate marketing program will pay you a commission each time you sell one of their products. Since the host company creates the products and sales copy, and handles order fulfillment, you just sit back and wait for checks to appear in your mailbox.
Some affiliate marketing programs will even pay you to recruit new affiliates. Early to Rise, for instance, has a two-tier commission structure that allows you to make 2 percent of every sale made by an affiliate you’ve recruited. (That’s on top of the 25 percent commission you get for selling ETR’s products yourself!) This means that for a product like our Insider’s Code, you could get $39.94 every time your recruit makes a sale.
2. You need a simple landing page.
This is a single Web page – not an entire website with all the bells and whistles. And when I say simple, I mean super-simple. The only thing that will appear on your landing page is some sales copy and a link to an order form.
You can set one up yourself by using the free blogging software offered by WordPress and Blogger, among others. And you can get the sales copy and the link from the host company you are affiliated with.
3. You need to set up a few pay-per-click ads.
In a nutshell, you pay for keywords related to the sales copy you get from your host company. Then, when an Internet user searches for those keywords, they have the opportunity to click on your ad. Doing so redirects them to the landing page you set up, and – in the case of ETR’s program – they can either sign up to be one of your recruits or buy one of the products you’re selling.
Some of the questions I frequently get from people interested in joining the Early to Rise affiliate program have to do with how to start a “no website” business.
As you can see, yes, you CAN do it. And if you’re good, you can make decent money. (You need to be careful, though. If you don’t fully understand the pay-per-click model, you could end up spending a lot on advertising without seeing much revenue in return.)
But why would you want to do it that way?
Setting up a website – even one that’s packed full of useful content – is NOT difficult. Nor is it expensive.
And the truth is, you can see much bigger commission checks if you set up a website to take full advantage of the program you’re affiliated with.
As I said, ETR has a two-tier commission structure. First-tier affiliates (the ones who make the sales themselves) earn a 25 percent commission on every product they sell. And some of them have gotten checks for $719,671.43… $574,833.19… $139,764.00… $174,879.13… $153,743.39… and even $756,902.60.
You can set up a website with the same free blogging software I mentioned earlier. You can fill your site with relevant content from several sources (including public domain, freelance writers, and article syndication sites). You can then use some easy-to-follow and free methods for getting traffic to your site.
And by implementing a few additional strategies, there’s nothing stopping you from becoming an affiliate marketing superstar and seeing fat checks regularly appear in your mailbox.
These strategies are truly easy to understand. I don’t have enough room here to explore them all, so I’d like to invite you to meet up with me at ETR’s Information Marketing Bootcamp this November.
During Bootcamp, I will teach you:
- How to define your niche and find products that will sell like hotcakes…
- The Super Affiliate blueprints that bring in $75K a month for ETR’s top sales reps…
- How to pinpoint a top-notch affiliate program by using 6 simple criteria…
- How to take advantage of the popularity of social media (I’ll reveal what’s a waste of your time and what is well worth your while.)…
- The best – and worst – ways to get relevant, search-engine-friendly content for your website (Some of them are FREE!)…
- All of ETR’s multimillion-dollar advanced affiliate marketing secrets…
- The oft-ignored, under-appreciated side of affiliate marketing that nobody’s talking about – and why it’s so critical to YOUR success…
And much, MUCH more!
Affiliate marketing could be your ticket to a massive boost in your income. It can help give you additional security as you start your own information marketing business. And it can help you build powerful contacts with some of the top names in the industry.
So come to Bootcamp prepared to learn the moneymaking secrets responsible for $2.1 billion in sales in 2008 alone… the same secrets that could help you write your own $756,000 check… and the strategies that can help you become a Super Affiliate in your own right.
Of course, while at Bootcamp, you’re going to be picking up dozens of other profit-making strategies, techniques, and breakthrough ideas. I’ll be joined by a dozen of the Internet’s superstar moneymakers – and all of them have agreed to share at least one idea that has the power to make you a MINIMUM of $10,000 by May 11, 2010.
Find out exactly what you’ll discover at Bootcamp – and learn how to sign up for our crazy “100% refund + $1,000 cash-back” pledge – right here.
I urge you to act quickly. You can get $600 off your reservation rate today – but this special discount ends this coming Monday.

A Former Blueblood Elitist Switches Sides – and Reveals All

My doing this is going to really anger a lot of people.
These people are angry because they don’t think that you are the right “kind” to have this information.
You see, the people I’m talking about are what I call “blueblood elitists.” They are the Wall Street insiders who make truckloads of cash no matter what the market is doing.
I used to be one of them.
But, with all of the crazy things that are happening in the markets now…hard working people…with retirement funds…families…and kids to send to college…watching their dreams vaporize…I decided I couldn’t keep quiet any longer!
I’ve switched sides and I’m revealing it all. I’m going to let you in on the secrets that will allow you to make a fortune…no matter which way the market is going.
I can only allow a limited number of people into my inner circle. If you are ready to stop being on the outside looking in, get the full story now.

The Food Additive That Fuels Lung Cancer
Familiarizing yourself with the ingredient list on food labels is now more important than ever. While some additives are fairly benign, too many of them can cause significant health problems. Take “inorganic phosphates,” for example, which are used to improve food texture and water retention in processed foods (including meats, cheeses, and baked goods).
It has already been shown that the phosphates in soft drinks and snack chips cause calcium to leach from the bones, linking them to osteoporosis and kidney stones. Now we can add cancer to that list.
Research conducted at Seoul National University has determined that inorganic phosphates have been associated with both the development and growth of lung cancer in laboratory rats. These effects were found at levels that mimicked our intake on a typical American/Westernized diet.
In a study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers observed lung cancer tumors in mice fed with either a 0.5 percent or 1.0 percent phosphate diet. At the end of four weeks, the mice on the higher-phosphate diet had an increase in the formation of new lung tumors as well as an increase in the size of existing tumors. The researchers think it may be due to the role phosphates have in biochemical signaling pathways.
Although naturally occurring phosphates are necessary for human nutrition, the researchers noted that the consumption of phosphates in processed foods has more than doubled since the 1990s. Our hectic American lifestyle – which leaves little time or energy for home cooking – often forces us to rely on convenient pre-packaged foods and restaurant meals full of health-harming substances.
While food industry experts have downplayed this study, I would strongly recommend limiting your intake of inorganic phosphates. Doing so will help protect your bones, and could even lower your risk of lung cancer.
Stick to foods in their most natural state. Especially limit high-carb processed foods laden with cancer-causing phosphates. If you want to save on prep time for meals, choose precut veggies and salads and frozen vegetables. But always read the labels to make sure they have no additives.

The Language Perfectionist: The Perfect Blend
By Don Hauptman
You hear and use them every day, perhaps without realizing why they’re special. I’m referring to what linguists call blends: new words created via the marriage of two other words.
Familiar words of this type include the computer term bit (binary + digit), brunch (breakfast + lunch), smog (smoke + fog), and Spam – the edible kind (spiced + ham).
They’ve also been called telescope words and centaur words. Lewis Carroll called them “portmanteau words.” That reference is now rather obscure, but back in the day, a portmanteau was a traveling bag that opened into two compartments. Thus, as Carroll defined the term in Through the Looking-Glass: “two meanings packed up into one word.” And, by the way, several of Carroll’s own blended-word coinages are still used, most notably chortle (chuckle + snort).
Decades ago, Time magazine and the gossip columnist Walter Winchell were known for devising new blends, some of which survived while others faded away. Among them: cinemactress, frauditor, genethics, guesstimate, and infanticipating.
If you keep your eyes and ears open, you’ll discover that the list of blend words is surprisingly long: advertorial, camcorder, Chunnel, glasphalt, infomercial, Jazzercise, minicam, pixel, and sitcom, for example. Because new things are constantly being created, and they all need names, the roster will surely continue to grow.
Here are a few more, the origins of which may not be immediately apparent:
- guacamole: from the Aztec ahuacamolli – a conflation of ahucatl (avocado) + molli (sauce or paste).
- happenstance: from happen + circumstance.
- Tanzania: from the names of two countries, Tanganyika and Zanzibar, that merged in 1964.
- Velcro: from the French velours (velvet) + croche (hooked). The ubiquitous fastener was invented in Switzerland.

It’s Fun to Know: Pepper Spray ATMs
A few weeks ago, we told you about Eastern European criminals installing “skimmers” to steal personal information from ATMs. Now, it looks like those thieves won’t be trying their scam in South Africa… at least, not for long.
Cameras trained on cash machines detect when somebody tampers with the card slot. And then the troublemaker gets a face full of pepper spray from nozzles on the ATM. The idea is for police to rush to the scene and arrest the incapacitated thief. So far, however, only maintenance personnel on their rounds have been hit.
A promising approach. But some kinks still need to be worked out.

Word to the Wise: Conflation
“Conflation” (kun-FLAY-shun) – from the Latin for “to blow together” – is the process or result of fusing several elements into one entity.
Example (as used by Don Hauptman today): “[The origin of the word guacamole]: from the Aztec ahuacamolli – a conflation of ahucatl (avocado) + molli (sauce or paste).”
