It appears Congress has been educated. The recent outpouring of protest against the proposed tight-fisted SOPA and PIPA bills has led to the evaporation of virtually all support for both pieces of legislation. Even co-signers pulled back, finding the law unsupportable in its current form.
The recent outpouring of protest against the proposed tight-fisted SOPA and PIPA bills has led to the evaporation of virtually all support for both pieces of legislation.
Forget the outrageous reality that any member of Congress would co-sponsor a bill before thoroughly reading and understanding it. That’s a battle for another day. Just make note of every “co-sponsor” of either of these bills — whether they ultimately withdrew their support or not. Realize they obviously sponsored . . . → Read More: I Am NOT Anonymous!

Far too many courses and e-books tell you to sell products or services by simply writing reviews, or by putting up quick YouTube videos raving about the product. Or, they advise you to set up a site full of reviews slamming virtually everything…except for the only programs you’ve found that actually work.”
That last sentence is in quotes for obvious reasons. These don’t imply you actually have to try the programs you’re selling or even know anything about them … not even to review them. Many even offer you software capable of churning out dozens and dozens of reviews or entire review Websites at the push of a button.
Here’s a couple of examples to consider:

I think another Media Court case is long overdue, don’t you?
I’ve got one here that I’ve been sitting on during the holiday break. It’s time to bring it forward.
The email came from reknowned marketing expert Anik Singal.
Some time in late December of 2010, I received the following email from Anik Singal. Anik’s a sharp marketer. He’s responsible for developing some of the most powerful affiliate marketing training on the planet and he’s been hugely successful.
I know the guy personally and like him.
Naturally, I opened up the e-mail. It read:

First, I’d like to apologize for the extended recess on this case. I intentionally let the case remain open longer than usual because I knew the product in question isn’t being actively promoted at the level of current “big launch” products. As a result, I also knew it might take more time to get people who had been exposed to the offer to find this case and respond.
Apparently, I was right. Most of the jury feedback came in several days following posting of this case and an additional nudge to all my lists as a reminder from me.
Then, my office got hit with a computer failure that set everything back more than a week, moving and restoring files and getting the stuff we . . . → Read More: Private Label RENTAL: The Verdict

Media Court Case #MC112610
by Uncle “Judge” Alan
This case involves the licensing terms for a private label rights membership that’s been online and operating for a number of years now. The “offender” in question is well known by anyone following the Internet marketing industry, precisely because he’s an aggressive marketer with an interesting history that turns out to be quite a success story.
I’m almost certain I’ve never met Cody Moya – but I certainly do recognize a much-younger-than-he-is-today photo he uses on his Websites, reminding me of the movie “Eraserhead” every time I see it.
I've never met Cody personally, but I hear he's a very tall very affable guy.
From what I understand, Cody had to overcome some major challenges to . . . → Read More: Private Label Rental?

Let’s bring this court to order. It’s time to hear my verdict in Media Court case MC110510, Target Perfect.
As you might remember, the current case we’re examining involves the sales Website for Your Ultimate Side Income! The result of a recent collaboration between popular Internet marketers Erik Stafford and Ross Goldberg, Your Ultimate Side Income is a step-by-step plan to easily and quickly launch a lot of Websites, knowing little or nothing about how to do it before you start, and get them each pulling in sales automatically. Even though each site might typically pull in a relatively small amount of revenue, it’s automatic revenue, so it keeps coming in. You just focus on building them until you have all the revenue you want.

Believe it or not, mommies can indeed be dangerous — if they’re bloggers.
Mommy Bloggers are just one of the insidious competitors you need to be concerned about if you want to maintain the integrity of your corporate image today. You also need to watch out for Tagging Terrorists, Digital Pirates, Culture Jammers and more.
Do nothing and you’re going to have to face the consequences. Do the wrong thing and you can cause more problems than you solve.
Today’s social Web has totally changed the landscape of corporate awareness. Consumers more than ever before now have more power to modify, re-shape or even trample the face you wish to put forward for your company online.

Regular, consistent posting of quality information people are really looking for makes the difference between a successful, vibrant, growing online publication and someone’s personal project they might or might not get to when they have the time. The results you see are always based upon the effort put in.
But it can still be a lot more work than it should be, if you go about it the wrong way.
One fast way to generate new content for your blog is to post audio interviews.
In this simple process, you just need to find an expert in whatever subject matter your visitors are interested in. Invite them to get on the phone with you for a short interview and record it, then make the recording . . . → Read More: Easy Audio Content

OK, OK. Let’s bring this court to order. Today’s case presents a recent example of what to do to succeed online these days.
The Ultimate Side Income is a great example of targeting an offer.
First you need a great product, positioned for the right market. Then you need to determine a price that makes sense, considering current economic conditions, and market conditions. Then you have to write copy that fits right into the conversation already going on in the minds of your target market today.
For this case, we’re looking at the sales page for a product that fits all the above, in my opinion. The product was created by two very good friends of mine – Ross Goldberg and Erik Stafford. If . . . → Read More: Two Minds: Target Perfect
