T3Leads is an affiliate network that is slowly creeping up to people, in a good way. Plus, it’ll be pretty profitable for you as well.

T3Leads tends to have leads primarily in the financial area which includes credit cards, insurance, debt and more. This is probably the best time to promote these types of leads, especially since everyone is in a financial crunch. I mean Massachusetts and other states just asked for a $1 Trillion dollar bailout! Plus, the unemployment rate continues to climb.

T3Leads does not sell generated leads. That basically means the affiliate gets the most out of the money. And who doesn’t like that? Their affiliate program is directly tied with a large network of banks and other financial institutions.

So, in essence, they don’t have like five companies working in between them. Some affiliate networks are like that and by the time the money gets down to you, the affiliate marketer, the payout ends up being chump change. With T3Leads, you get the most out of your leads.

I’m not sure if this is true as I’m pretty new to this company but it is said that “guarantee” the highest conversion rate in the industry. I am told it ranges from 1:6 to 1:9 which is a very high conversion rate. And it’s good for you if you’re a PPC marketer because you spend less and make more.

Also, a little birdie informed me that affiliates can order free ePassporte cards. Tell me that isn’t convenient?

The thing I like about T3Leads is how they payout and the frequency in which they do it. Normal affiliate networks pay you once a month, no matter how much you make within that period. On the other hand, T3Leads pay you on a bi-weekly basis and if you’re a pro affiliate marketer making over $1,000/week, you can request weekly payouts also.

In addition to getting paid bi-weekly or potentially on a weekly basis, you have the option of a quick transfer through Paypal. I’m sure most of you guys that are associated with affiliate networks know they usually pay by check, which could take anywhere between 7-10 business days to arrive in the mail at the end of the month.

Well, all that goes out the window because Paypal is pretty instant. Plus, you help save the environment by not having a check issued to you!

Not only that but they have 24/7 support and a pretty helpful forum incase you ever have questions or need help with promotional methods. I mean, everyone is there to help each other out.

In conclusion, I would suggest checking them out and taking advantage of the opportunity with the financial dilemma going on. I mean, you don’t have much to lose, yet, you have so much to gain simply by signing up with T3Leads.

First of all, I hope everyone had a nice Christmas, enjoyed the holidays and received some amazing presents.

When it comes to site flipping, any site can be flipped just as long as you have a buyer. But how much is your site really worth? What are they basing it on? Are they paying way too much?

If you read this blog, more than likely you read Theuniversitykid.com as well as Slyvisions.com. And I’m sure you know both of them are selling their blogs. Matter of fact, Sly already did. He sold it for a $9,500 while Jason a.k.a. TUK can’t seem to get serious bids over $5,000.

If you ask me, TUK should have been sold for, at the very least, the same amount as Sly did, if not more. The reason why I say this is simply the fact that when it comes down to it, TUK had better overall stats than Sly so that would be the logical reasoning why he should have sold it more, right?

Wrong!

When it comes down to it, the buyer will look at the stats, how much revenue you make from the site, but it’s all about their preference on what they want to spend their money on.

So, if you don’t think your site is worth selling, you may just be underestimating yourself. See, no what you think, any site can be sold, all you need is one buyer.

Remember when our site flipping group sold ListLunatic? A lot of you guys didn’t even think it would sell for a couple hundred dollars. Matter of fact, I think there were only like three guesses around what it actually sold for - $2,000.

We didn’t really make any revenue from the site either but we still managed to sell it for a pretty good chunk of change simply because we found a buyer and we had some great selling points.

Now, if you barely get any traffic or barely make any money from your site, I believe there is a buyer out there especially for you… you just need to know where to look and know how to become a good salesman with great selling points.

So, never EVER underestimate yourself!  You’ll surprise everyone, including yourself.

Side note: Yes, I have received everybody’s e-mail regarding the site flipping team(s), just haven’t had a chance to full fix my e-mails because I have been out-of-town… and I’m still not home from the holidays yet.

Since some of you guys are about to jump into site flipping, probably for the first time, I figured I’d give you a sense on what people are looking for. It’s very simple doing your research on what people are interested in; just go to your major site selling forums and see what people are asking for and actually buying - see, simple!. But wait, there’s more than just that!

First off, let me just say that the best type of site flip is the unique niches and ultimately the ones that make a good chunk of revenue. Though, I’m sure if we could all find unique niches and make money off of it then we wouldn’t need to do this type of research, now would we?

Matter of fact, if the unique site makes quite a lot of money with minimal work then you might want to consider holding onto it for a while.

Anyways, this is what I do before I create a site in which I will potentially try to flip:

Check Places Like Sitepoint and Other Marketplaces Like That – I tend to visit only the marketplace section where the sites are being sold as well as the section “Want To Buy”. If I see that a few people are looking for sites related to gaming then I’ll try to make a quick Wordpress-based site, make some money for a few weeks (or months) and sell it soon after.

Sometimes people are willing to buy the site based on the potential rather than stats and revenue proof. Just keep that in mind.

Check Out the Competition – No one wants to have a site and compete with millions in the same niche *cough* make money online *cough* so you want to check out the competition. If you’re starting a blog, Technorati is a good place to search to see how many other blogs are in the same niche.

You can also Google specific keywords related to the niche. Eventually, you will want to build links around your popular keywords anyways so you will have to look into this.

Will It Make Me Money? – I understand that some people will buy sites based on potential, traffic and whatever else; but most will base it on revenue. Revenue surrounds site flipping and you should embed this in your head because people will want proof. Plus, you always want to earn money from the site just incase you are unable to sell the site.

Will It Cost Me Anything? – A lot of pro site flippers tend to spend money to speed up the process. I am not one of those types. So, if you’re planning on spending money to build up a site, make sure your net profit is always higher. That should be pretty obvious.

How Much Time and Effort Will It Take? – If you feel as though you’re spending too much time on it then more than likely you are. Now, if you see potential in the site and making money then you should spend as much time as you need on it.

On your quest of researching, you should be checking out other people’s listings, and while doing so, you can take a lot of knowledge just from that. For instance, not only will you see the type of sites that are selling but you will also learn things like:

How to Write Your Site Listing – Writing your site listing will be extremely important because you become an online salesman with a sales pitch because you want someone to purchase your product; in this case, your site. You always want to emphasize the strong selling points and if you need help, just look at some other ones that have already sold.

Other Ways of Generating Revenue – It’s funny but I still manage to find new ways of making money online just by reading site listings. For instance, what networks and programs people are using, how they’re converting, etc.

New Ways of Building Traffic Sources – I’m sure if you’re trying to start a brand new site that you don’t know too much on, reading a similar niche site listing will give you endless information on building targeted traffic.

Anyways, I hope you guys take some time to at least look through site listings just to see how you match up and who knows; maybe you’ll gain a few things from it.

If you’re one of those people that despise celebrities, well, I’m not asking you to like them. But building a celebrity website is definitely worth it if you’re looking to make some extra money on the side. Plus, it doesn’t take too long to build one and more than likely you won’t have to do any maintenance to it.

If you’re wondering why you should build one, well, it can work wonders if you’re doing it right. I have a few celebrity websites in which I did a one-time setup and I haven’t touched it since. As of right now, I’m making, on average, a couple dollars a day for each website and like I said, I haven’t touched them since I first set it up.

Now, you’re probably thinking “a couple dollars a day? That’s nothing! Give me a break man!” That may be true but if you learn to rinse and repeat the process then those couple of dollars a day could turn into $10/day… then $20/day… $100/day… and who knows, maybe thousands?

And did I mention you don’t have to touch the site ever again and you will get a check once a month?

On top of that, I heard celebrity sites are pretty good to convert affiliate campaigns, particularly the zip and e-mail submit ones. Hey, I’m not the one to judge but I heard that people who go to those types of websites are generally the same ones that think they can magically win a new iPod or TV by entering in their e-mail address.

Okay, so hopefully I have your attention enough to this point. Now let me tell you how to go about building a celebrity website.

Pick Out Your Featured Celebrity – Think of each celebrity as its own niche, its own site. You can pick any celebrity you want, just as long as they’re popular enough to be searched for. (And even if they’re a D-list celeb, there are tons of people still searching for them)

If you want to check if they’re actually being searched for, try going to Google Trends and simply typing in their name. If a graph appears, you have some people searching for them.

Find The Keywords Around Your Celebrity – Your celebrity’s name is good for a keyword but more than likely it’s highly competitive with thousands/millions of other websites. You want to focus more on the long-tail keywords instead. Try simply entering in their name in the SEO Book Keyword Tool and you’ll end up with tons of long-tail keywords.

I wanted to apologize for the delay in getting you guys the password. I said I was going to send it out at the end of last week but I was out-of-town and for some weird reason, my e-mails act up on my laptop when I’m using someone else’s internet connection.

Anyways, I finally sent all my valid e-mail subscribers the password. Within the past week or two, I had seen a lot of people unsubscribe so none of them received the password. Additionally, for those that never verified their e-mails or are “inactive” also didn’t receive it.

I did receive some bounce backs so if you are a valid e-mail subscriber, whom never received the password, just leave a comment here with the e-mail address you subscribed with and I’ll be sure to get you it.

I mentioned this in the e-mail I sent to you guys but I just wanted to say it again just incase anyone missed that e-mail (if it got sent to their spam filter or something). I would appreciate it if you guys didn’t tell anyone the password to the post.

I do plan on writing an eBook with a step-by-step with examples so I would look out for that as well. Also, I did mention in the e-mail that if you guys had any question at all, I’d be glad to answer all of them individually by e-mail or you can also contact me on instant messenger.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! And like I said, if you have any question, I don’t mind answering all of them, it just might take some time to reply but I’ll definitely get there!

Now what other online entrepreneur is willing to personally give you their time without charging you a single penny?

Oh, and did I mention that all my e-mail subscribers get entered into contests that I hold here? Hint, hint. Maybe a contest is coming soon…
