I’ve talked quite a bit about Facebook Fan Pages in this blog. Today, I’m going to teach you how to set one up. Once your page is set up, you can scroll through the blog and find important information about how to use your Fan Page.
Let’s get started with setting the page up. Go to Facebook and click on “Create a Page for a Celebrity, Band or Business.”
Now you have to choose the type of Fan Page you want to create. If you run your own business, you will choose “Local Business or Place.” If you’re an affiliate marketer, you will select “Brand or Product.” The exception to this is for affiliate marketers who have created an LLC. If you have actually formed a business, you can choose “Local Business or Place.”
Once you choose what type of page you have, you need to choose a category and name your page. If I’m using my page to sell diet pills, I might name the page “Discount Diet Pills.” On the other hand, if I have my own business, I will use my business name.
Then, you have to agree to the Facebook Pages Terms, and click “Get Started.”
Now you’ll have to sign in with an existing Facebook account, or create a new one. If you already have an account, select “I already have a Facebook account” and enter your email address and password and click “Log in.” if you don’t already have an account, you will need to input some information and create an account.
Once you sign in or set up your account, you will be taken to your Facebook page. The first thing you need to do is upload an image. Select a company logo or a picture that is related to the products you market.
Once you find the picture, click “Upload an Image,” and make your selection.
Then, click “Edit Info.”
From there, you will enter your company overview, about section, description, product list and more. We will give you some great tips for optimizing this section in the next post. For now though, enter your information and click “Save changes.”
Now you have a Facebook Fan Page.

If you have a fan page on Facebook, you know how important it is to build your fan base. You want more fans so you can get your message out to more people. Fortunately, there are several ways to build your fan base quickly. A Facebook landing page is one such option.
What is a Facebook Landing Page?
A Facebook landing page is a static page that contains marketing information. You can have non-fans and/or fans enter your site via the landing page. This page gives you total control of the look and feel so you can brand it accordingly. Facebook Fan Pages are pretty much taking the place of “profiles” for anyone looking to use Facebook to build their business. Additionally Fan Pages are completely free and extremely easy to setup!
Unlike your wall that contains user-generated content, you will be able to control everything that appears on your landing page. This will help you boost your fan base. After all, people are more likely to “Like” a page if they see this:
Than they are if they see this:
What the Landing Page Should Look Like
Now that you understand the importance of a landing page, it’s time to go over what your page should look like. Your landing page should include your company message and logo, if you have one. Additionally, it should give people a reason to click on your page. Maybe you are giving away a free report to Facebook fans, or fans get instant access to your email list. Whatever the case may be, you need to give them a reason to click on the “Like” button. We will go over some tips for this in a later post. You can also use the apps (listed in my last blog post) in conjunction with your Fan Page. It’s really a one stop place to connect everything with your fans. My current Fan Page model works like this:
I post to my Fan page
- it automatically send thats to my Twitter account and posts it there (using that Twitter app)
- it list it in the “Twitter Feed” on my Fan page
I post a video to Youtube
- it automatically post that to my Fan Page
- it list it in the Youtube section and let’s people like the videos!
I post a blog here on my blog
- it automatically post that to my Fan Page
- it automatically post it to my “network blogs” on Facebook
As you can see it allows you to take all of your fans/customers and push content to them all in one central location. Fan Pages just simply ROCK! If you don’t have one create one now, if you do have one make sure to install these apps so you can take full advantage of what Facebook Fan Pages can do for you and your business.

Our $50 Winner this week is Jean Pertick says: June 18, 2011 at 8:55 am WOW! New information for us. Thank you for posting this. I WILL be learning all of this as fast as I can. Congrats Jean! Please email me immediately with your information so I can ship you your $50 gift card.
If you have a Facebook Fan Page, you have access to countless Facebook apps. These apps will help you promote your business, get more fans and turn your page into a great marketing tool. While there are hundreds of great apps, I’m going to go over the five essential apps you need to include on your Facebook Fan Page.
Before I get into the different types of apps, I’m going to explain how to get them. Just go to the Facebook App Directory at http://www.facebook.com/apps/directory.php. Once there, click on “Business” and you will see the different apps for your Facebook Fan Page. Now that you know how to access the apps, we are going to go over the top five.
Fan Offer
This app is a great way to build your fan base. You will create an offer or a coupon. Then, the Fan Offer app will build a welcome page for “non-fans.” Non-fans will enter your Facebook page via the welcome page. The page will tell non-fans that they just have to “Like” your page to receive the offer or coupon. Once they “Like” the page, they will receive the special offer.
You have to pay $19 a month to use this app. If you learn how to monetize your fan base, $19 is a small price to pay for new “Likes.”
You could also have someone just custom create a “welcome” page for your Facebook Fan Page. Check out my Fan page (and like it if you haven’t!) mine has no monthly fee, but I did pay someone a decent amount up front to get it done like this.
Become An Anthony Morrison Fan on Facebook – Right Now
Promotions
The “Promotions” app is next on the list. Just as the name suggests, this app will help you run promotions on your Facebook page. These promotions can come in many different forms, including contests, sweepstakes, coupons and giveaways.
You do have to pay to run promotions with this app. However, if your promotions help you get more customers, the money you pay will be well worth it.
Networked Blogs
If your blog is going to help you sell products, you need to have readers. The Networked Blogs app will help you build a strong following. You can use the app to import your blog feed to your Facebook page. Then, your Facebook fans can go through your posts and help your blog become as popular as your Facebook page is.
Constant Contact, iContact or Mail Chimp
If you doing any type of online marketing, there’s a good chance that you use an auto responder to collect email addresses. Fortunately, Facebook makes this easier by offering apps for Constant Contact, iContact and Mail Chimp. Once you download the app, you will be able to collect email addresses right from your fan page.
Tweet Tab
This app will create a “Twitter” tab on your Facebook Fan Page. The tab will display your Twitter feed. This feed will be updated every three minutes.
You can include up to 18 Twitter accounts on your Tweet Tab. This is great for people who use different Twitter accounts for different products.
Spend some time familiarizing yourself with these apps today. Once you understand their features, install them so they can help you build an online following.

The internet is full of potential customers. They log onto their computers every day, and they are floating around cyberspace, just waiting to be snatched up. If you want to reach out to these potential customers and build a relationship with them, you need to take advantage of real time search results.
What is Real Time Search?
Real time search is another name for Google search results that are displayed in real time.
These results include:
- Facebook fan page posts
- Tweets
- Quora
- Buzz
People can receive real time results by going to Google and clicking on “Real Time Results.” Then, they can type in their search phrase and real time results will come up.
What This Means for You
By using real time results as part of your marketing strategy, you can send information and updates to potential clients immediately. For instance, if you are having a sale on tennis shoes, you can create a Facebook post, tweet, or Buzz about the sale. Then, if someone searches for “tennis shoes” in real time, they will receive information about your sale. You will basically get to talk to the client directly, since you will post something and he will read it within minutes, if not seconds of the post.
How to Get the Best Results
If you are going to get the best results with real time search, you have to create posts that contain keywords people will use when searching the web. F or example, if you market golf supplies, brainstorm for keywords that are relevant to your topic. What would people search for if they were looking for one of your products? Maybe they would look for:
- Affordable golf clubs
- Deals on golf supplies
- Taylormade golf clubs
You could use these words in your posts. For example, you could create a post that said, “Check out our inventory of affordable golf clubs.”
Then, you could write a second post that said, “We have hot deals on golf supplies. Up to 40% off.”
Finally, you could post, “Our Taylormade golf clubs are the cheapest in town.”
Check Your Statistics
After you create different posts, you need to check your results. You will do this differently, depending on the social networking platform you are using.
If you are using Facebook, go to Facebook Insights. You will be able to see the statistics for each post.
If you are using Twitter, use Tweetburner to send your Tweets. Be sure to include a link. Tweetburner will track the number of times the link was clicked on. You can log into your Tweetburner account at any time to check the statistics.
If you use Google Buzz, you need to wait for the Buzz Stats’ update to come out. Then, you can use it to track your posts.
If you use Quora, you will not be able to track your stats at this time. However, that could change, as the site becomes more popular.
Spend some time today trying to break into the real time search results. It will take some practice, since you need to find the right keywords. Once you get that part down, though, you will be able to reap the benefits of real time search.

Welcome to the most important post on this blog all year long. I know that might sound a bit crazy, but hear me out and I think by the end of this post you’ll see why this is so important for you and the rest of us online that are making it happen successfully each and every day. We all know there are millions of, how to make money online, programs on the Internet heck each morning I wake up my email box is just flooded with all the ways I can be rich before the end of the day. It’s really just bogus stuff! Making millions on the Internet just simply does not come from some “overnight plan” or even a “7 day plan”.
The biggest issue is most of these programs leave you hanging..
I mean think about it what happens after the “7 day plan” is up? You end up completely frustrated because on day 8 you are clueless as to what to do, right? Trust me I was once there myself just completely irritated because I knew making money online could work, but I simply couldn’t find anyone or anything that would lay it out for me on a day by day basis. You know something that was there to guide me on day 8, 9, 10 and beyond…
So I got to thinking… what if I created a 365 day plan for you? (CLICK HERE TO SEE IT LIVE!!)
It makes perfect sense right? A program that breaks everything down into “baby steps” that anyone can follow AND is still there for you on day 8, 9, 10 all the way to day 365!! A time tested training program that honestly guides you through each and every day, never leaving you hanging and always helping you continue to move forward and progress each day. I realized that YOU NEEDED THIS PROGRAM in order to stay on track and create the success you really want online.
Here’s what this program teaches you.. in baby steps.. each day…
- Google Marketing
- Facebook Marketing
- Youtube Marketing
- Affiliate Marketing
- e-Commerce (just a bonus I threw in)
- Free Advertising Techniques
- Social Media Explosion
- … And a whole lot more
Anyway it’s a great program and it breaks everything down for you and gives you small (doable) action steps each and every week. It also gives you a video tutorial online for each day of the year!!! Yeah that means you get a video guide for 365 days, if you follow this guide before you know it your business will be booming! And you will have done it in small baby steps. Anyway if you want more information on this course that I created just for you just simply CLICK HERE NOW and watch this video I created for you.
And yes…. a few minutes into the video that is me when I was like 10 in my baseball uniform 
I always like to put something personal in there ya know. List I hope you LOVE this new course and I really believe it will be the answer to all of your questions. It’s the course that WILL get you over this “learning curve” if you give it a chance.

I did a blog a week or so ago about “what motivates you” to be successful. I had massive response to that video blog with well over 100 comments letting us all know what “you” are motivated by. It was overall one of the best blogs I have put out in quite some time and it got me thinking about my bucket list. You know the things we really want out of our lives and hope to achieve someday (there was even a movie made about it…) ok ok so you get it. I figured it would be cool to share my bucket list with you and for you to post yours in the comments below. It’s always good to write down and visualize the things we want in life… that’s what I am doing right now.
Anthony Morrison’s Bucket List
1. To Start A Company That Reaches The INC 500 – Yea I know this probably isn’t everyone’s big goal in life, but it certainly is for me. I have started so many companies and had a ton of success, but I have never made it on this list. The requirements go far and beyond “just create a big successful company” so I am still shooting for it. I certainly want to achieve this sooner rather than later. Like I said money isn’t always our motivation for me I am motivated simply by the accomplishment of making it on this list. Wish me luck
2. To Take A Company Public – Yep another one of my goals that seems really crazy. This has been on my bucket list for years now and it hasn’t happened. Going public just requires so many different pieces to fit just perfectly. It’s certainly an accomplishment if you can pull it off, which is exactly why it’s on my list!
3. To Be In A Movie – I know this one sounds even crazier than the others huh? I just would love to be in a movie once in my lifetime. Not some big star role just something minor so I can say yeah I scratched that one off my bucket list. After all who doesn’t want to be in a movie? really…
4. Own A Baseball Team – I would love to own the Chicago Cubs, but honestly I will settle for any sports team at this point. I figure if I can’t play, can’t manage maybe I should own! I am good at business and that is kinda what’s required to be an owner right? Pretty far out there dream but if you don’t at least dream you can’t ever reach goals you never thought possible. So I am keeping this one on my list.
5. Cover of Entrepreneur Magazine – I’ve been trying forever to get on the cover of this magazine. I feel like I fit pretty well, but it’s not easy as you all know I am not the only person on planet earth that is successful, in fact many others have taught me things I obviously didn’t know. So again this is something I will continue to strive for in my career.
6. Travel The World - I would love to take some time off and just travel around the world. I have only left the country for Canada and Mexico and that was just recently. I travel, but normally I keep it within the US. I would love to visit places like Brazil, Argentina, Jamaica, and all of those islands in the Caribbean!
7. Get Married – Probably not something everyone is gonna be all inspired by right ? but my parents have had a very long relationship and taught myself and my brother and sister how marriage is really suppose to be. I hope that I can have exactly what they’ve had for 30+ years.
8. Own A House On The Beach – I love the beach (particularly the Gulf beaches) and I’ve always dreamed of owning a vacation house right on the beach. Somewhere in Destin, Fl or Clearwater, FL would be really nice. I can see myself waking up each day and working from the beach!
9. A Big Yacht - I would love one of those big Yacht’s you see these billionaire’s floating around on! How awesome would it be to just be able to hop on your boat and cruise on down to the Caribbean islands for the weekend? We can all dream right!
10. Have A Net Worth Of 100 Million – YEA I saved this for last for a good reason lol… but again we can all dream!
I’ve already accomplished quite a bit in my life and crossed a few things off that would otherwise still be on my list like…
1. Writing a book – I’ve now written 2 and loved every second of it!
2. Owning a Viper – Love Dodge Vipers and the first thing I did when I started making big money in affiliate marketing was buy 2 of them!
3. Owning a Lamborghini – I am a car nut. My family has always been a “car family” so I grew up loving cars… never dreamed I would own one, but now I do.
4. Home Owner – Was always on my list and as of August 2010 I crossed it off the list!
5. Be on TV – Been on for 2 years and love every minute of it. Just an accomplishment that I always wanted.
So what’s on your bucket list? If you haven’t figured out by now creating income streams from the Internet obviously helps you achieve what’s on your list either by giving you the free time or the money to make them happen. It sorta goes back to what motivates you? Things on your bucket list are probably right on up there with eliminate debt, retire, save for college etc…

This weeks $50 Winner is: Renaldo miller says: April 24, 2011 at 12:24 pm (Edit) Hey Anthony it as being a while but I am still here some of us need more help than some but thank God you are for all of us please keep doing what you are doing you are a blessing your information is all ways Excellent…….Renaldo email me your info so I can send out your card!
Pay-per-click and cost-per-impression advertising are two great ways to generate traffic to your website. When you use PPC or CPM services, you have to write an advertisement. People who click on the ad are directed to your website, where they can make a purchase. If you want to get lots of people to click on your ad, you need to include a powerful call to action in the copy.
A call to action is just as it sounds. It’s a line in the copy that compels readers to take action. In advertising, the desired action is a purchase. Thus, the call to action should include words that will entice people to make a purchase.
Generic Call to Action
While most advertisers understand the importance of including a call to action, few know how to properly craft one. Instead of coming up with a compelling call to action, they use generic phrases such as “Order today” or “Buy now.” These generic phrases don’t elicit a response from readers.
Instead of using a generic call to action, you need to come up with compelling phrases that will actually make someone feel as if he has to take action immediately. Use phrases like:
- Download the report
- Get your quote
- Get your 20% discount today
Notice that each of these phrases is specific to an actual product or service. Because of that, they are not generic, and thus, will have more power with the readers.
Evaluate your PPC and CPM ads and see if they will benefit from changes to the call to action. If so, make those changes so your click through rate and conversions can go up.

This weeks $50 Winner is Dave Knob says: April 9, 2011 at 9:16 pm (Edit) The ideal world is elusive yet somehow possible. Sometimes it gets in the way of action and creates a less than ideal situation. Like most people I like to dream but obviously need to focus on current success and baby steps to progress to the my ideal world. Taking action is the current dilemma. Congrats Dave! Please email me your info so I can send out your $50 gift card.
We’ve been hitting Facebook advertising hard recently, and today, we’re going to add one more concept into the mix. Facebook recently unveiled a new form of social advertising called Sponsored Stories. Sponsored Stories include “Like Stories” and “Page Post Stories.” Today, we’re going to cover “Like Stories.”
Before we dive into this topic, let’s take a look at Facebook. Facebook is a social networking site. That means people’s actions rely heavily on what their friends are doing.
For example, let’s say you log into Facebook and notice that one of your friends liked a news story. Chances are, you’ll click on that story to see what it said.
Why?
Because your friend did it, so you should try it too.
This is a herd mentality, and you can capitalize on it with “Like” Stories.
When you use “Like Stories,” ads will appear every time someone likes your page. These ads will show up on their friend’s pages.
For example, if Max likes your page, an ad will display to his friends. The ad will say, “Max liked Business Name.”
Now let’s look at what will happen.
Max’s friends will see Max’s name associated with your business page. this will grab their attention. They will think, “Max likes this page. I need to check it out.”
They will click on the ad and like your page so they won’t be left out.
By capitalizing on the herd mentality, you can get hundreds if not thousands, of Facebook fans. Then, you can begin marketing to those fans and driving traffic to your website.

This weeks $50 Winner is Joshua Zamora says: April 2, 2011 at 9:19 am Never ever give up! It’s easy to quit that’s why so many people do it.

Those things you look back on when you make it! Congrats Joshua send me an email and ill get this gift card to you asap.
That’s a pretty interesting yet maybe confusing question for you to answer right now isn’t it? Let me ask you this question one more time and then i’ll explain what I mean by the question. Is YOUR ideal world crushing YOUR success? Ok so here is what I mean by this and hopefully you’re going to learn a lot from this blog that can help you create massive success in not only business, but also everything else in your life. You see so often we are fixated on what we perceive to be the “ideal model” that we stress out day in and day out to achieve what we believe to be ideal and forget to focus on the success we’ve had at up to that moment.
We all have our ideal world for whatever we like to do. If we like real estate investing maybe we constantly aspire to be like Donald Trump. If we like sports we always want to be Drew Brees or Alex Rodriguez. If we love business we always want to be CEO and live that crazy luxurious lifestyle. Having this whole “ideal” world is perfectly fine as long as you know how to keep it in it’s place and realize it’s not reality all while pulling new goals for yourself from your ideal world.
Let me give you an example.
You watch my TV show and see how successful I am. You are inspired by my story and success and decided to buy my book and do what I do. Maybe at this point let’s say you know nothing about affiliate marketing, Internet marketing or doing anything on the Internet beside maybe reading email.
Alright so fast forward say 4 months. Let’s say you now have your own blog and it’s coming along nicely. You’ve also setup advertising accounts on Bing and even Facebook. You’ve generated a few hundred dollars and your moving in the right direction.
Here’s where the problem starts. You continue to look FORWARD and think to yourself “well look what Anthony’s doing” and you get caught in this cycle of being unhappy because you constantly feel as if you are not where they need to be. Constantly focusing on this ideal world rather than focusing on how far you’ve come.
Really you should look back at where you started…. you knew nothing about the Internet, nothing about Google and never made a dollar online. Now you have a blog, know how to advertise and have even made some money in the process. Reality is you should be happy and excited about your success right? I mean don’t you deserve a pat on the back?
My point this week is it’s important to pat yourself on the back for the success you’ve had so far rather than punish yourself and stress out because you haven’t reached your ideal goal yet. So make sure this week you focus on being happy with your progress while still pulling new weekly goals from that ideal world you have so you can continue to grow and realize more success.

I have heard so many people say “ahhh I am giving up it’s not working” about things they do in their life. It doesn’t matter if it’s a new job or a new business this seems to be the “mindset” of most people. Failure should be looked at as something that is necessary for success. It’s very rare that any entrepreneur becomes successful without some degree of failure. We all want an easier life, but you have to be ok with those bumps in the road on the way there right?
One thing that all successful entrepreneurs seem to have is a very short “recovery period” meaning they recover from failure really fast. They analyze why they failed and then quickly implement strategies to keep it from occurring again. Entrepreneur’s use this “failure” as a way to learn how to be successful not as an excuse to give up and quit. Successful entrepreneur’s learn and grow from failure and eventually come out stronger, better and more profitable from this “learning process”.
My advice to you this week is don’t let failure keep you from achieving your goals. Think like an entrepreneur and let failure teach you the lessons you need to learn to create the success you want to achieve.
