In this video, Joel Comm starts off by saying he pronounces “niche” as “nitch”.  (I do, too.)  But whether you say “nitch” or “neesh” or any other variation, you need to select great niches!

Joel says you should ideally choose a niche that you’re actually interested in.  He says if you do that, you are genuine and they will be more likely to follow you and come back again and again.

He says you should build a quality site first, and put AdSense on the site later.  He also mention that you can add other monetization methods in addition to AdSense, and I think this is critical.  Never put all of your eggs into one basket, as they say!

In this video, AdSense guru Joel Comm answers some of the questions he gets asked most often.

He answers a question about how much the various ads on the page might bring in, and whether ads should be placed at the bottom of the page.

He answers another question about whether Azoogle ads are compatible with AdSense.  Joel responds that Azoogle are not contextual ads, so they are perfectly compatible with Adsense.

Another person wanted to know how to figure out the best places to put AdSense ads on the page.  He says if you visit his website you can find out the answer to this.  He has a bunch of free videos that explain this and many other points of AdSense.  Definitely worth checking out!

This video is so long I can’t possibly describe it in a quick summary.  At over one hour long, this is a fascinating video featuring AdSense legend Joel Comm and AdWords insider Simon Leung!

Although this is mostly an entertaining video, there are a few cool nuggets of information you can get from this video.  I watched it once all the way through, and then let it run a second time while I was working!

This is a really cool look into the lives and businesses of some of internet marketing’s most respected and well-known gurus!

What would happen if you were banned from AdSense, or if AdSense suddenly shut down their program?  It may seem unlikely, but stranger things have happened!

Would your business survive?  What would you do if you lost your AdSense income tomorrow?

This video gives you a few ideas for alternatives that you can use in the event that you lose your AdSense account, or if for some other reason you need to replace that income.

This video focuses on using private advertising to bring in consistent money.  He also touches on referring people to programs like pay-per-post programs for a commission, but he seems to think that private advertising is the way to go.

I think everyone should take the time to develop a backup plan to replace their current income sources, their current traffic sources, and their overall business strategy.  You never know what can happen, and a good backup plan ensures survivability.

Today it’s time for a little fun.  This particular video isn’t particularly useful.  In fact, it basically shows how easy it is to fake a video of an AdSense account or another account.

In fact, if you watch closely, he even shows you that the video is fake.  You can tell from the comments that a lot of people aren’t very observant, and they seem to believe this video is real.  But the creator obviously isn’t trying to fool anyone, because of the HUGE hint he offers to its fakeness.

Can you spot the big hint he gives you?  Watch carefully!

This is proof that you should never believe anything you see online without doing due diligence.  No matter how careful you are, there’s always a chance you’ll get scammed, but use some common sense and you can decrease the risk of being the victim of a scam.

Ok, please don’t watch this video if you don’t have a lot of time to WASTE.

Seriously.  Don’t.  You see, this video sucks.  It’s nothing but a massive promotional video that is full of spam with absolutely NO valuable content whatsoever.

So why have I posted it, then?

Well, there’s a method to the madness.  I want those of you who are using video marketing to see what kind of video you should NEVER create.  This video has no value whatsoever, and it isn’t likely to get as much traffic as it could if you spent the same amount of time creating valuable content.

As you can see, this video has a lot of fancy effects and transitions.  A lot of time obviously went into this video, but the creator could have spent half the time to create a fantastic video that would have received a lot more traffic!

I notice that at this moment the video has 7,725 views, but it has never received a single rating.  It’s no wonder… it’s not worth watching!

I honestly hope you haven’t wasted time watching this video while hoping to learn about social network marketing, but it does teach a VERY important lesson about the kind of videos you should never make.

Gavin Stephenson gives some excellent marketing tips in this 7:24 video.  One of the most important points is the fact that you should be spending around 80% of your time seeking new traffic.  I agree.  I think too many people spend time building new sites or working on other stuff, and not spending enough time on traffic generation.

He also says that you should spend only 1% of your time at stuff like reading emails and other tasks that aren’t so important.  This is very important, because there are a million little things that can suck up your time.  You can’t let this happen to you.

Gavin gives some very good tips for managing your time, as well as some clever little marketing tips.  I like this video.  It’s a little “fluffy”, as he spends time talking about spending time with your family and getting enough rest, but the helpful nuggets make it worth it.

This is a really helpful video.  In it, Travis Sago of “Bum Marketing” teaches us how to choose a profitable niche.

Travis talks about some ways to find profitable niches.  He says love and health are always going to be big niches.  He also says that people who are in transitions like moving, finding a new job, having a baby, going to college, getting married, and other life transitions are also typically very good niches to target.

Travis brings his own very popular ClickBank product (The Magic of Making Up) into the mix by mentioning that relationships are a very good niche.  He says this product has a phenomenal gravity, which means you can make a lot of money with it.

Yes, this particular video is very self-promotional, but there are some great nuggets of wisdom here for choosing very profitable niches.

Travis Sago is the person who coined the term “bum marketing”.  Basically, bum marketing is article marketing, which is the process of using articles you write to get traffic to your affiliate products for FREE.

He talks about how to choose a product on ClickBank, and how you can market that product using bum marketing instead of paying for traffic like so many others do.  He shows an example of how you can use bum marketing to get a link in Google, sometimes even above the merchant’s own website!

Travis points you to his site for more information.  I’ve used his system myself, and I can tell you it DOES work.  (Plus, it’s free)
