StoreStacker for $1

Anyone that wants can now use the complete StoreStacker system with ALL of its plugins, for only $1. Check it out here – StoreStacker.

Why $1?

We’ve had a couple of realizations over the past few months. First, we understand that that coughing up a chunk of change to purchase a tool that you’ve only heard about can be a little scary. It’s a big leap of faith on your part. Second, the StoreStacker system rocks – and no sales pitch can really do it justice. The bottom line is that seeing it in action will sell it better than any website ever could.

So, we decided to take out ALL of the risk and put the power directly in our users’ hands. You pay only $1 to use the complete system (including all of its plugins) and you get 2 weeks to run with it. If you love it, keep it and we’ll bill you the rest of the regular price. If you don’t, let us know and we’ll cancel the order with no questions asked – StoreStacker.

Here’s some background on StoreStacker:

While giving you access to promote over 10,000,000 products, StoreStacker allows you to build fast, search engine and buyer friendly affiliate websites, thousands of pages deep with targeted affiliate products, articles and videos.

StoreStacker is the ONLY tool you need for affiliate site building. No outside software needed, just plug StoreStacker into your domains (domains is plural, because you can use StoreStacker on an unlimited number of sites) and start pulling niche products on virtually any market you want, relevant articles from article directories or RSS feeds and youtube videos on your chosen topic. In a matter of minutes your domain or website can become a one-stop-shop-and-information-hub in any niche you want.

What makes StoreStacker different than other store builders?

- More integrations. StoreStacker gives you access to pull more affiliate products.
- More SEO friendly. Many other store builders don’t create a new page for each product posted. StoreStacker does. Which means more keywords, more content and more pages to get ranked. (We have a new SEO update going live this week)
- More powerful. Post videos and articles, in addition to products. Have full control over store templates.
- More local. Built in geo-targeting and and localization for ebay stores, amazon.co.uk also supported.
- More flexible. Add StoreStacker to any new domain or any existing website you want. Use it on unlimited domains.
- More user-friendly. Sell your own products and your affiliate links are automatically cloaked.

StoreStacker goes live with a BANG.

It’s been in development for the past year and today, our baby went live at 12:01 this morning.  Sales started coming in immediately, with no announcements having been sent.  It’s now mid-afternoon and we’re nearing the 500 customer limit on the free clickbank plugin.  But I digress…

If you’re not familiar with StoreStacker, here’s some background on this ass-kicking tool.

In a nutshell:
StoreStacker does what NO other software on the market can – load a site with products from eBay, Amazon, and Clickbank, targeting virtually any topic or subject matter.  Users build and run their own, ‘conglomerate’ affiliate store, covering any niche they want, on any site they want.  More programs will be added over the coming months – Paydotcom, Linkshare, Shareasale, Walmart, and more are planned.

Also a sitebuilder:
The software can be used to add products to an existing site or as a standalone site builder (a user can build a site from the ground up with StoreStacker alone).

The benefits of the system:
StoreStacker enables website owners to give their traffic more of what it wants.  More content to read, more information to digest, more products to look at, compare and purchase.  In addition, StoreStacker makes it possible to manage a horde of affiliate offerings (more than they ever could manually) from one interface and updating / trying new product categories is a snap.

Why stack?
Think of it this way.  Let’s take a subject matter like marketing.  Amazon, eBay and Clickbank each individually have a lot of products covering this topic – books, reports, software, etc.  But, StoreStacker enables you to pull products from ALL of these sources and stack them all in one place.  The result?  One site has ALL of the marketing products available.  Essentially, the StoreStacker user’s site has 3 times as many products to feature as Amazon, eBay or Clickbank individually. 

With this kind of ‘pull’, a site can become the go-to destination in their niche, because they list EVERYTHING available in one place – more than any other single place.  Add more product sources like Paydotcom, Linkshare, etc, and the sites using StoreStacker become more and more powerful. 

HUGE SEO benefits:
StoreStacker can add thousands of pages of content to a site and tons of low-fruit, product-based keywords.  Added to sites that already have solid in-links, this can translate to a nice bump in search engine traffic.  A new site created with the system has a big advantage over any ‘regular’ website. 

User reports are also saying that StoreStacker sites get indexed MUCH faster than their normal sites.  Their structure has been specifically designed to make SE spiders happy.

List their own products:
Users also have the ability to list and sell their own products, right along side the products they pull from their ‘regular’ sources.

Who can use it?
We created StoreStacker so that inexperienced users can operate it easily and advanced users will be eternally happy with its depth of functionality.

Unlimited use:
Users can use StoreStacker as many times, on as many websites as they want.

Price:
$97
They’ll get the StoreStacker software along with the ability to pull products from eBay, Amazon and Clickbank (first 500).

First 500 Customers:
Get the Clickbank plugin for free.  Please note – this is ONLY the first 500.

1000 customer limit:
We’re opening to 1000 customers and upon our thousandth, closing our doors.

StoreStacker’s illustrious future:
Approximately 1 month after we close, we will relaunch StoreStacker (re-open our doors to new customers) with new plugins to more affiliate programs.  We’re planning multiple relaunches, with each relaunch featuring new integrations.  Planned plugins include Paydotcom, Linkshare, Shareasale, and more.  Each plugin will allow users to pull more products on their topics, serve a larger audience and build bigger, more effective websites.

Forum:
We have a seasoned customer forum at www.halfagain.com/forum/

Email support:
Coverage is close to 24 hours a day.

System requirements:
Users need a domain and hosting (like any website).  Their hosting should include php, mysql and zend.

How to Get Tasty: the 2 things you NEED to get HOT on Del.icio.us

Last week our blog made it on to the del.icio.us Hotlist with its third post.  We saw subscribers double, 325 people bookmarked us and traffic jumped by about 5,000 hits or so.  Not an insane amount of traffic but, all-in-all, it was a nice little bump. So, how’d I do it? 

You’ll find you have more control over social media sites than you might think… 

Image courtesy of VintageIP.

The article that made it.

The post that’s responsible is What’s My Name #$%&*?. In a nutshell, it details the naming process (of products, businesses, etc) and some unique naming strategies / tools.

How long did it take to write?

I’m neither an author nor a genius, so I’m a slow writer.  Though I didn’t time myself, my guess would be that What’s My Name #$%&*? took me about 8 hours to write. 

The 2 (and ONLY 2) rules I followed…

Rule #1 – Create value (or try).

This one is talked about a lot in marketing circles.  The proverbial ‘build it and they will come’ approach.  It’s both the most obvious and the easiest to overlook piece of creation.  Why?  Because creating something of value can be a pain in the ass.  Especially, if you’re not getting directly paid for it.  However, this is THE deal with social media sites.  You MUST create something of value to get noticed.  And it must be free.

What is value?  Big question.  For our purposes here though, we’ll define value as anything that your readers want or can use.  Your article/post/site can have:

- informational value
- emotional value
- entertainment value
etc

You’ll actually find that most of what people value will fall into a fairly small set of easily targeted categories.  Bottom line, create something that has value to your reader and your message will get fully ingested, bookmarked and passed around.

Rule #2 – Let people know.

As with any marketing campaign, it’s all about who sees your message.  The new blogger can write post after post of golden information and if no one sees it, they’re sunk. 

So, lets say you’re a new blogger and you don’t have an email list to alert or an existing traffic source to help “get the word out” about your new blog.  (This is where just about everyone starts.)  What should you do?

You have one, very powerful tool at your disposal.  Email.  Caroline Middlebrook made mention of this idea over on her blog also.  Email may be your only way of communicating with people about what you have to offer, so USE IT. 

The process is comprised of three steps. 

A) Figure out what kind of readers and what kind of websites would be interested in your blog and your specific post. 

If your blog covers do-it-yourself home improvement and the post you’re promoting is about flooring, your ‘target market’ is going to be people interested in DIY and flooring in particular.  See our article about segmentation and targeting for some good strategies on this.

B) Make a list of the influential names and websites in this niche and collect their contact info.

Using the DIY example above, look up keywords/phrases in Google such as “how to install floors”, “do it yourself flooring”, etc and make a list of other blogs and websites that both cover your topic AND have sizeable readerships.  You want to target ‘influential’ individuals here, who, if they mention your article on their site, will send some traffic.

C) Email them and say hi.  Introduce yourself, tell them about your article and why they should be interested.

Be personal.  No form emails.  Craft a specific email for each and every person you’re contacting.  It’s more than a promo email you’re writing, it’s the beginning of a relationship.

The Outcome.

Not every article you write or piece of info/entertainment you offer is going to be a slam dunk.  Some you think are destined for greatness will bomb.  Others you don’t give a second thought to may run to the top of digg, del.icio.us, etc.  It’s a numbers game.  But if played right, the numbers can be turned very much in your favor.

The BIG Guide to Partnerships: Choose, but choose wisely.

This is the first installment in the ‘What We’ve Done’ series.  In other words, how 3 guys built a successful web-based business.  The idea of this series is to quantify exactly what we’ve done that’s been successful (and what we’ve done that hasn’t) so you can replicate the good and avoid the bad. 

This week’s installment:  Partnerships.

Everything started with a partnership.  I knew Omar (partner #1) from a previous position I had held as an affiliate manager (Omar was an affiliate) and Omar met Kirill (partner #2) one day in a forum.  He struck up a conversation, one thing led to another and after a few weeks, they started talking about doing a project together.  Omar brought us together, we discussed the potential, some of our reservations, logistics were worked out over the following couple of weeks (the setting up of the business entity, banking, etc) and we were on our way.

Now, I realize it sounds like I’m cutting out pieces of the story and I suppose I am to a certain extent, but none of them pertain to the actual formation of the partnership.  What I’ve said is a pretty accurate look at how we started.  Sounds easy right?  Read my disclaimer…

Personal Disclaimer:  I believe in being completely transparent with our practices and business, especially when doling out recommendations.  So, given this, please note that in forming our Halfagain LLC partnership, we did NOT use all of the tools and strategies I talk about below.  In short, we got lucky.  It doesn’t mean anyone will, and in fact, many haven’t.  So, use the strategies below – they will GREATLY enhance the likelihood of your partnership’s success. 

Issues are inevitable.

Our partnership, like most, isn’t perfect.  Sometimes one person feels like they’re doing all the work.  Other times, a partner may feel that more should be done in a certain area that is handled by the other.  And sometimes, we have regular old disagreements about how to handle certain matters.

The issue though is not the problem, it’s how the problem is solved.  It’s important to consider that partnerships aren’t dissolved because of problems, they’re dissolved due to a lack of solutions.

So, as cliché as it sounds, good communication and open-mindedness are the first rules to live by.  Think about it – if you’re not willing to candidly communicate AND remain open to the fact that your idea may not be the best option, what’s the point of having a partner? 

Fun fact:  I still have not met Kirill in person and only met Omar once.  All communication has been done over ICQ and skype. 

Why a partner?

Why are partners such a powerful option for the entrepreneur?  Here’s the short list.  Partners…

- Provide expertise where you have none.
- Temper your crazy, destined-for-failure ideas.
- Urge you to execute your better ones.
- Are another brain to bounce ideas off.
- Push you when you’d rather be on the couch watching a Lost marathon.
- Are simply more resources to throw at a project (Two heads and all that.)

What to look for?

Since I’m a fan of lists, I’ll give you another one.  Here are what I’ve found to be the most important attributes in a partner.  Your partner must …

- be good at what you’re not.
- be trustworthy.
- be a compatible personality.
- have similar business philosophies.
- be passionate about the business.
- have good track record in their area of expertise.

I won’t take the time to explain each one of these, as I believe most of them to be self-evident.  Just think of finding a partner in the same way you’d think of finding an employee.  If you wouldn’t hire them for the job, then they’re not the right choice.

Pitfalls to watch for.

Family.  Many will say this, but I don’t necessarily agree.  The pitfall to avoid on this one is to make sure you’re partnering with them because of their assets, NOT because they’re family.  Partner with someone for the wrong reasons and you’re sunk.

Trust.  Bottom line, partnering with someone who you don’t fully trust is a very BAD idea.  It doesn’t matter what they offer, how excited they are or how successful you think the business will be with them.  If you don’t trust ‘em, ditch ‘em.

Motivation.  I’ve found that more often than not, if two partners have different motivations, they’re headed for troubled waters.  For example, partner #1 is motivated by creating a value-based business and partner #2 is primarily motivated by making money.  The first partner is likely to want to spend time and money injecting their business with greater value for the customer, while the second is more likely to cut corners on costs and uncomfortably squeeze customers for more revenue.  Neither of these practices will sit well with Partner #1.  Be sure that your partner has the same motivations as you.

How to find a partner.

There are many, many ways to find a suitable partner.  However, it always starts with who you know.  So, in most cases, the prerequisite to finding a partner is getting your name out there, networking and building relationships in the field in which you wish to build a business.  You’ll often find that partnerships spawn naturally from the relationships you create, so use the web’s many mediums (email, forums, IM, social media sites and other communities) to start saying hi and striking up conversations with people.

Once you find some suitable candidates, work with them on small projects to get a feel for how they work and their business philosophy.  Are things looking good?  Discuss the possibility of working with them on some bigger projects. 

Get expectations on the table – put them in writing.

Write it down baby!  Put all expectations of the partnership in writing.  You’re skipping any he-said she-said stuff, covering yourself legally and making sure that, going into the venture, each party is fully aware of the expectations of the other.  Some ideas you might want to play with…

Who’s going to have control?
If there’s an impasse, how will you handle it?
Who’s investing and how does this affect control?
Who’s handling hiring and firing?
How much time is each party ready to commit to the project?
Etc.

Have built in exit strategies.

Think of it like signing prenuptials before getting married.  If a partner wants out, how will you handle it?

Reservations:  Now’s the time to be honest.

If there’s any a time to be honest, it’s before entering into a partnership.  I believe it’s important to have a “Concerns Session”, where both potential partners sit down and hash out any (and I do mean ANY) concerns they have about the partnership, the business or any other matter they think may come up later.  If you have a reservation, get it out BEFORE getting in.

If you have any experiences or thoughts regarding partnerships, shoot me an email.  I’d love to hear and work them into future articles.

Blondes ARE the most popular…

I’ll be honest, we’re an odd species.  People, that is.  Though anyone can easily determine this through 15 minutes of people watching at your local mall, it’s much more obvious (and entertaining) when faced with the ‘evidence’.  But I digress…

I like to waste time.  But really, “waste” is relative.  Others might say I’m wasting time, I say I’m doing research.  One of my newest ways to do … research, is by making use of my keyword tool.

Wordtracker, if you don’t already know what it is, is a keyword script that allows you to see how often different keywords are searched in the search engines.  As with any keyword tool, it has its limitations.  For the most part though, it gets the job done. 

Keyword searches and why they’re damn cool.

In a nutshell, Wordtracker lets you see how ‘popular’ a keyword or phrase is (how often it’s searched) and how much competition (webpages) are fighting for the top search engine spots for that term.  If you’re researching a new market, etc, it’s pretty handy.  However, it also holds some unique entertainment value. 

At first glance, you might think – Great, it lets you see what people are searching for – good for marketing and that’s about it. Au contraire, this little $300/year tool has the potential to give you hours of entertainment.  With the right touch, it can provide insight into our values, our culture, what we like, what we dislike and the ‘human condition’ as a whole.  Sound like a mouthful?  Let me explain…

It’s 3 AM, I’m in my underwear and I’m searching for…

 We can essentially look at Wordtracker as a social experiment that gives insight into what people are ACTUALLY like. Why?  For the most part, people are not impeded by what they search for.  It’s social pressure that causes us to conform.  No people around, less pressure, more freedom.  Alone, late at night and with nothing but our imagination to stop us, our interests, oddities and quirks can run wild.  Using a tool like Wordtracker allows us to see a few things that we ordinarily wouldn’t be granted access to – what people really want.  Plus, it can answer some very profound questions.  Like what sport is REALLY the most popular.

According to what we search for online, we’re most interested in the least consequential stuff.  The world is at our fingertips and what do we grasp for?  Most often, a Kleenex.  However, our vices aside, this tool can be good at determining what people actually care about.

 Is this full-proof?

Of course not.  But it can still be quite interesting.  Here are some questions and the answers that 15 minutes of keyword lookups can get you …

Is porn really THAT popular?
Everyone knows that the internet is big for porn.  But did you know that porn related searches comprise 11 out of the top 20 searches?  That means sex comprises 55% of our most popular searches.  Hell, even “youporn” is searched more than “youtube”.  No wonder we’re at 6 billion and growing.

What’s the most popular sport?  The official list (plus number of searches)
football – 15,724
soccer – 11,495
basketball – 10,222
baseball – 6,854
tennis – 3,476
gymnastics - 2,557
cricket (can also include searches for the bug) – 2,542
hockey – 2,521
rugby – 2,359
boxing – 2,119

What’s the most popular hair color?
blonde – 12,559
redhead – 8,723
brunette – 6,804

What religion is generating the most interest?
islam – 3,524
buddhism – 2,877
hinduism – 2,314
christianity – 2,133

Karl Marx was wrong.  It’s TV, not religion.
“Dancing with the Stars” is searched more than “art”, “science”, “history” and “religion”… combined.

Favorite news sources.
“Naked news” is the most searched news source, followed by fox, the bbc and cnn.

Boy or girl?
“Baby boy names” and related keywords are searched over 10 times more often than “baby girl names”.

Who’s the most popularly searched celebrity? (currently) …
Vanessa Hudgens

Eh…
“Google” is the 4th most searched term, worldwide. 
(Admittedly, this may be due to the placement of toolbar search boxes.)

Given all the possibilities in the world, what do people want to learn how to do?
how to save a life – 4,088 (related to the song, I’m sure)
how to have sex – 2,767
how to masturbate – 1,955 (destined for greatness, we are)

Who’s the most popular designer?
gucci 1,109
ralph lauren 907
versace 518
christian dior 304
giorgio armani 131

Sure, they’re cute but…
“Pictures of cats” is the most popularly searched image related term.  By a LOT.

Let the numbers speak for themselves.
“Hentai” (otherwise known as cartoon porn) is the 9th most searched keyword worldwide. 

“Preteen” and related keywords make up 7 of the top 1000 searched keywords, “preteen” itself currently appearing as the 54th most searched word worldwide.

Does Wordtracker have predictive power?

The jury’s out on this one.  But, just for fun lets compare the democratic and republican candidates and their respective searches…

Democratic candidates:
hillary clinton – 3,718
barack obama – 2,332
john edwards – 1,629
dennis kucinich – 707
bill richardson – 446
joe biden – 341
mike gravel – 269
christopher dodd – 84

Republican candidates:
ron paul 6,982
fred thompson 3,703
mike huckabee 1,383
mitt romney 1,272
john mccain 770
rudy giuliani 768
duncan hunter 550
tom tancredo 270

We, of course, need to take into account the idea that the more outlandish and outspoken a candidate is, the more press and searches they’ll get.  This can confound predictions.  However, I wouldn’t count this method out as a loose predictor of who may win an election.

Investment potential?

Who knows, maybe it exists somewhere and I just haven’t run across it yet.  But I believe that if used and tracked correctly, the terms people search for can tell us where trends are emerging (before the ‘masses’ realize it), what companies to invest in and what markets are gaining popularity.

A tool, like wordtracker, that not only tracks ALL searched terms, but alerts the user to new searches and terms that are seeing a rise in searches could be very powerful.  Searched terms could be tracked like stocks, but instead of prices, we’d focus on the number of searches.  The business and investment potential here may be worth exploring.  

One more example for you.  Box office earnings.  I’d be willing to bet there’s a strong correlation between opening weekend box office earnings and the number of searches a movie receives in the week prior.  Track weekend earnings for different earnings and compare to number of searches.  Figure out the correlation and this can be another way for production companies to predict earnings. 

These are only a couple of the possible applications of tracking and using keyword searches.  Am I 100% convinced that either would work?  Not completely.  But hey, they might.  

 Statistical pitfalls to take into account (yeah, it’s a disclaimer).

Now obviously, the number of searches for anything will be influenced by the media or current social climate, so these need to be taken into account.  If a politician is say, caught in a public restroom soliciting sex, this will of course influence the number of people searching their name.  It will not be an idicator of their popularity.  So we need to take this into account.

 We also need to consider the audience that’s searching.  Internet users, though part of the greater population, by no means are a perfect representation of the whole.

This concludes my disclaimer.  Complaints?  Email me.

Are You In a Relationship?

I recently went down to LA to help my grandparents move.  Long story short, the trip culminated in a 20 hour drive with my father in a moving truck.  Suffice it to say, we got some time to chat.

 He mentioned something that’s been whirling around in my head since, and as it applies to today’s post, I thought I’d mention it.  He had a good friend a few years ago, Dave, that died of Hodgkins Disease.  Before he died and realizing that a terminal condition gives it’s ‘victim’ a unique perspective on things, my dad asked Dave what he believed to be the most important thing in life.  “What’s the key to happiness?”

His answer was simple.  Relationships. 

It’s not money, success, knowledge or possessions, he said. It’s simply your relationships with those around you. Your friends, your family, your colleagues.

I happen to agree.  Ironically, I also happen to believe that money, success, knowledge and possessions can all spring forth from strong, positive relationships.  So, yes, you CAN have your cake and eat it too.

Business, by its defenition, is all about the almighty dollar.  But, here’s a little secret.  The question should not be:

“How can I make more money?”

Instead, it should be:

“How can I create deeper, more positive, more meaningful relationships?”

Here’s why.

In the end, these two ‘philosophies’ can achieve the same goal.  The differences, however, are colossal.  Going at business with a “how-can-I-make-more-money” philosophy is immensely short-sighted.  No one likes a money-hungry fool (yes, they can smell you coming) and even if your strategy happens to be successful, you’ll ONLY have money to show for it.  Nothing else. 

Working from a “how-can-I-create-a-meaningful-relationship” perspective, you not only create an environment in which people will want to work with you, but people will think of you for future projects, refer you to their friends and in many cases, bend over backwards to help you when you need it.  You will, in fact, increase the chances of your overall success, reaping the benefit of making money AND having fantastic relationships (which, to be honest, are a lot more rewarding anyway).

So, try changing your focus from figuring out how you’re going to make that buck, to figuring out how you’re going to make that friend.  It may sound campy, but the more you put into your relationships, the more they’ll put into you. 

Tomorrow, I’ll post a really simple tip you can start using NOW, that’s helped us create some fantastic relationships.

Website developers will now be able to purchase individual StoreStacker licenses (one at a time), build complete affiliate sites/stores and sell them to their own customers – making it super easy for affiliate marketers who want an instant, quality affiliate store, without having to build it themselves.

To make it easier to find developers who build ready-to-go StoreStacker stores, we’ll be listing ‘authorized’ dealers on our main sales site (http://StoreStacker.com).

Developers – email me (scott@halfagain.com) for details on how to get started and listed as a dealer on StoreStacker.com. Please note: StoreStacker sites can only be sold if produced with a ‘developer’s single-use license’.

Have a fantastic day!

Scott
