As you all know I am big on finding “other” ways to generate profits on the Internet. Most of the time I stick to affiliate marketing, but there are so many different ways to generate the traffic to the offers that it offers me (and you) endless opportunity to continue to find new avenues to profit from online. So typically I have been simply doing the following:
Step 1: Select an affiliate offer
Step 2: Place on ad on Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google etc
Step 3: Generate traffic to the offer
Now the above scenario is GREAT! especially if you pay less for the ads than the revenue you generate from the affiliate offer. The only thing about this scenario that always drove me crazy was simply that I always HAVE to pay for traffic. In order for my business to run I must continue to place those ads out there and continue to pay for them in, but I only get to generate a profit from that ad one single time.
Most recently I have really dove in and figured out email marketing. What a game changer that has been for my affiliate marketing company. It has allowed me to change the process to something more like this:
Step 1: Select an affiliate offer
Step 2: Place ads on Facebook, Google, Yahoo etc
Step 3: Generate revenue PLUS build a list
Step 4: Email the list and generate more revenue
See the difference here? on step 4 I can now email the list (at no cost) and generate more revenue BUT I spent nothing on that part of the process. It’s really a game changer because it allows you to generate revenue without spending a single penny on advertising. I am a firm believer that this is something I will always do from here on out in my business. It doesn’t mean ill stop doing the other process because that would be crazy! Basically I am just adding this step of (build a list / email for more profits) into my flow which allows me to maximize my time, efforts and investments.
I know I have pushed out some decent info on email marketing here on my blog and videos blogs over the last month or so, but if you want more information on email marketing I suggest you grab my new course Build, Send, & Profit it lays it all out in a step by step fashion and shows you how I went from making nothing with email marketing to how I am doing it now.
Either way (with or without my course) I suggest you start doing it immediately!
If you want to watch a cool video I did on sending email to make profits – Watch this now

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.

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…

Well it’s Christmas morning at about 9:30am. My entire family is still sleeping and I am awake! Go figure so I decided I would share some insight on Twitter with you this morning. Think of it as my Christmas gift to those of you who read my blog, follow me on Twitter and simply desire to learn as much as you possibly can about Internet Marketing.
Anyway back to my story about Twitter. I am in the process of developing some really cool and useful applications for social networks. The software will be called SocialAdsPro and will encompass Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and even YouTube. Well the Twitter software is finished and is in beta testing. One of the features I added to it is the “tweet later” feature. Basically this just means you can pre-load hundreds of tweets and then tell the software to basically “tweet every X amount of time”. What this does is make sure that your account is actively posting a new tweet throughout the entire day.
Now originally I added this feature as more of an “advertising” tool. Basically tweet 1 advertisement about your affiliate site or products for every 10 or 15 tweets you post. Seemed logical and certainly seemed like it could help drive traffic to affiliate offers. One thing I did not count on was the increase in followers I have acquired over the last 3 or 4 days. I have gained almost 100 followers and guess what? I haven’t followed a single person to get that increase!
With Twitter the big key is acquiring followers without you having to go follow 100000 people to get them. The reason for this is pretty simple Twitter has a ratio rule meaning you can’t follow more than X % of the number of people following you. This means getting people to follow you is important, if you want to build your Twitter account. So all of these “auto follow” programs are great but at a certain point if people don’t start following you back you can’t grow.
See people value information. They value it so much that they are willing to “take action” to get it. All I did was simply tweet 10 or 15 times per day about Internet Marketing and my Twitter follower list is growing every single day! I think this is a very important concept that most people completely overlook about Twitter. The program was designed with this “auto-tweet” feature to make sure I could advertise on my account, but in reality it’s more of a “gain followers” feature.
It’s not hard to make money with Twitter. There are many services like Sponsored Tweets that will actually pay you to allow them to post/tweet ads onto your Twitter account. Guess what determines how much you get paid? Typically how many followers you have and how active your account is which is exactly why I am developing this software.
I hope you learned a bit today about Twitter. Remember it’s important to tweet relevant information not just a bunch of ads. If you do this you can make your Twitter list grow and earn more money!
Merry Christmas –
Anthony Morrison

I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I uploaded my Monday video blog this week to share a little insight and wisdom that can help you stay on the right path to success as we enter 2010 together. Hopefully each and every one of you reading this blog will find attaining your goals easier and easier by simply implementing a systematic approach to organizing your time and efforts.
I have to say that 2009 was a great year! Ill be writing my “year in review” blog post here very soon to share my thoughts on this year and what I have been able to accomplish. Ill also be posting my 2010 goals so you can all see exactly what I hope to achieve in the year to come. It’s always great to document your goals so you can visualize what you want to achieve.

I have to say it’s absolutely wonderful to have so many people reading my blog, watching my videos and sending me comments each day. The launch of my new book “Advertising Profits From Home” has been such a huge success and I want to personally thank everyone who made it possible. It’s amazing to me as I sit here thinking ahead that it’s already Thanksgiving week. It seems like this year has just blown by and I’ve hardly had the time to stop and just relax. I guess we all run through moments in our lives where we are so focused and so passionate about what we are doing we simply forget to take a moment to rest.
I’m certainly thinking ahead right now at how I can make our ChristmasForKids Charity reach more people and touch more lives this year. I have thought long and hard about possibly brining in some celebrity authors or maybe even celebrities themselves to really shine some light on our cause. I am not sure if I will be successful in my attempt, but ill never know without trying right?
I think it’s so important for us all to stop and remember those less fortunate right now. When you help others you show good character which is the most important aspect of being a successful businessmen. There is absolutely no replacing character. No amount of knowledge or skill will ever mean more than having a good heart. I truly hope that this holiday season everyone reading this blog will reach out to help someone in need. It doesn’t have to be financially which is such a common misunderstanding in our country today. There are millions of people going through divorce or mourning the loss of a loved one this holiday season. There are thousands of people dealing with losing their job and financial stress at home. There are so many ways in which you can help people by just simply being there for them during a stressful time or time of need.
Remember giving back to people isn’t always measured by giving them dollars or cents…. it can also be measured by giving them your time, energy, devotion and compassion. So think about that as we approach the Christmas holidays and make sure you reach out to help others. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels as you visit your families around the country.

First and foremost I want to thank everyone for getting on our teleconference calls and really staying engaged. Obviously those calls are completely free to those of you who have joined one of my programs and I do them simply to help you in every way possible. As you probably know we discussed how to reduce your PPC cost (pay per click marketing cost) so you can get more bang for your buck, which basically just means a better ROI.
Here is a breakdown of exactly what I suggest you do in order to make this happen. Start off on AdBrite or even on Google and create a PPC ad for whatever you are marketing. You can create a written text ad or even a creative (image) ad to get started. I suggest running that ad for a minimum of one week so you can get stats on it for every day of the week including weekends. Once you have accomplished this here are the things you want to look at:
1. What is your CPC (cost per click)
2. What is your CTR (click through ratio) meaning how many people click on your ad vs how many people the ad is shown to during this time.
Here is why this is important right now you are “paying per click” but most networks offer another way to pay for your advertising which is called CPM. CPM (cost per thousand views) means you pay simply to be seen and you select how much you are willing to pay per thousand times your ad is shown. Obviously they have minimum bid amounts etc depending on the network/platform you are using to advertise. This method is great ONLY if you have a high CTR because remember you are paying to be seen so even if your ad gets no clicks you still pay.
The reason you start off with a PPC campaign is it’s like having a safety net below you. If the ad doesn’t generate clicks guess what, you don’t pay. However, once we have some data let’s assume we see the following after our first week running the ad:
1. CPC is averaging .50 (50 cents)
2. CTR is averaging 1%
If the same network says you can switch your ad over to a CPM model let’s do some math.
Assuming you pay a $2.00 CPM that would be $2.00 per 1000 times your ad is shown.
1000 impressions X 1% CTR = 10 clicks for $2.00 (since you are paying $2.00 per thousand views)
Now if the same ad is costing you .50 per click on the PPC campaign you would pay $5.00 for those same 10 clicks on the PPC model.
As you can see it’s all about testing. Write an ad utilize the safety that PPC offers you and then switch to CPM model if it makes sense. It’s pretty easy and once you get going it will get even easier to determine how it is done properly. This allows you to scale just about anything and everything you are doing!

Well as you all know I have started the “weekly video blog” on the home page of AnthonyMorrison.com and so far it’s been a huge success! You are all watching the videos, leaving me comments and in the end staying engaged and motivated to be successful Internet marketers. That’s what this website is really all about at the end of the day. I just wanted to create a place to let people help people like the Live! Community and then also a place that allows me to share insight, knowledge or maybe just one small piece of information that might help keep you motivated each week.
I really believe we have a great thing going here and I am excited to watch as it grows leaps and bounds each and every week. We now have over 500 members to the Live! Community which is simply amazing considering it was only an idea in my head just a few short weeks ago. We have people placing their own blogs and sharing their own stories. It’s going exactly the way I hoped it would go when I launched it. I want to thank all of you for making the Anthony Morrison Live! Community a success. I really hope you are learning from it each and every day and it’s keeping you motivated and inspired to find your own success on the Internet.
Remember success does not come to those who don’t try. In order to be successful you must work hard and remain positive. Watch the weekly blogs and hopefully I can help you stay on the right track week in and week out!

My posting will be short tonight. It’s 12:30 am and I am a bit tired. I guess not being on the road doing Hidden Millionaires conferences has been a good thing for me the past few weeks. I’ve been able to really relax and enjoy spending time alone, which is rare for me these days. I was suprised today to see that quite a few people ordered my book “The Hidden Millionaire” off Amazon. I guess I forgot to even mention that it was on there for sale. Most people just goto my website www.TheHiddenMillionaireBook.com to order the book, but if you want to buy it at Amazon.com feel free to do so.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Grammy’s tonight. Al Green and Justin Timberlake together was really cool. I admire them for being able to do what they do. I speak in front of a few hundred people and its a nervous thing for me to do. I can’t imagine singing like that in front of thousands live and millions around the world. Especially on short notice like they had to do tonight.
Hope everyone has a successful and wonderful week!
Anthony Morrison
