10 Day Cash Secret is an automatic blog income system that has some unique characteristics. Most significantly it shows you how to build blog content using automatic data feeds in such a way that new posts are created steadily with your affiliate links included in them.

Developed by Neil Shearing, 10 Day Cash Secret is a system that shows you how to use free data feeds from other sites to build blogs automatically.

The neat thing is that these data feeds include your affiliate links – which would be great IF you then got a LOT of traffic.

So read on for a nice surprise….

As it turns out, the search engines love these blogs and what Neil discovered was that they attracted the spiders
on the day of creation!

Take a look at the following sequence of events

30th January 2008

Neil registered a new domain and added a blog using a tool he’s developed (which is included with his product).
Within hours the search engine spiders were crawling all over it.

1st February 2008

This new site got its first visitor via GOOGLE which on its own is pretty impressive because Google usually takes ages
to acknowledge new sites. So that’s just two days from “birth”!

9th February 2008

Neil sold products using an affiliate link on his new site and generated $255.37 in sales.

23rd February 2008

Neil sold a further $1697.31 of products from the new site.

So during the first month of its life, this new domain name had generated $3851.30 in sales. ALL ON AUTOPILOT.

So DealDotCom’s been around a short while now and there have been some interesting offers on it. But nothing really caught my eye until today when you can get SEO Elite for $97 via the DealDotCom site.

I’m not going to be getting out my wallet though because I already own SEO Elite. If I didn’t, I would buy it right now and save myself $70.

So the lesson is that DealDotCom does offer excellent value deals for really good products from time to time. Interestingly it doesn’t seem to be announcing them to people automatically, something that I would have thought was an obvious thing to do.

If you’ve not already signed up, do so now unless you are never going to spend any money on internet marketing products.  It’s a site that’s free to join and so far at least it doesn’t seem to be pushing deals very hard so you won’t get swamped with emails.

Final point on  Blogrush. I got a stinking email from one hardened cynic about this service. He was explaining how it was mathematically impossible for Blogrush to generate as much traffic as it promised.

But he misses the point. The numbers may be spurious (I haven’t bothered to do all the maths) but the process is valid. You do get traffic. It is free except to the extent that it takes up potential real estate on your web pages.  And it works. I have statistics to prove it.

If something promises 1 million free visitors, costs nothing and actually delivers only 10,000, it’s still a Good Thing.  You don’t need to wait for perfect solutions to your everyday problems.  Don’t let the best be the enemy of the good.

I released my new video course – Blog Email Alert – about 36 hours ago with a small promotion to one of my smaller lists. I never like to launch things to a big list until I have had a few successful sales go through so that I can be sure the sales order processing side of things does what it’s meant to do.

So far no problems though so I’m pleased. The other thing I’m pleased about is that it is the first time I’ve used MuVar with any degree of success. MuVar is an interesting multi-variate testing tool that lets you break down web pages into sections, create different versions for each of those sections and test how well they perform. So for example, you can try out 6 different headlines with 3 different headline fonts and 2 different guarantees etc. and then it will display various combinations of these items whilst recording the outcome in terms of a sale or a no sale. It then uses this conversion data to display the most profitable variable combinations more and more thus increasing your overall conversion rate over time.

MuVar is not as easy to use as it should be – for one thing, you can’t easily edit versions of a variable once you’ve entered it and so if you put a typo in the headline for instance, it will only disappear from the sales page if it turns out that it reduces conversion rates. Now a purist might say that testing typos is a sensible thing to do. After all, who knows if typos are good or bad for conversions. We might think we know but we could be wrong.

But there are other things you might want to put into your sales page that you can’t afford to get wrong – such as using scripts. When you create a sales page you might want to add a script to it but forget to do so until you’ve already entered a number of variables into MuVar. For example, I use statcounter quite a bit to track visitors and it requires a piece of JavaScript to be added to the page. However, if I decide that I want to use statcounter with MuVar after I’ve already set up a page it is a slog. It should be a case of just editing a variable.

The other problem with it is that until you have some data, some of the reports seem to go into endless loops. However, as soon as sales start to come in, this gets sorted out. I also read somewhere (can’t find it now) that you need run the batch processing function repeatedly if you want all the variable optimisation to take place. I think the comment I read was that it didn’t optimise all variables at once to stop overloading your server. Personally I think it should self-optimise after a pre-set number of actions rather than wait for you to do it yourself. Having said that, it may already do this – it’s just that the set up videos don’t make clear whether you need to run batch processing for it to optimise or whether you just need to do this to generate reports.

In terms of value for money I think MuVar is good but a little bit more attention to making it user-friendly would make it excellent.
