When I started with AdSense a few years back I benefitted a lot from Joel Comm’s AdSense Secrets. I paid a lot plus a lot more for shipping for the physical book. I learned a lot of important tips that started me off. To this day I have a lot of websites earning me money through Google AdSense.

I like these sites because when I am busy with other ways of making money, these sites bring me in a regular income (that varies every month but mostly averages to a nice sum). The site I set up about four years ago still brings me a regular sum every month. I have learned a lot more about AdSense from a variety of sources. But my basic foundation was with Joel Comm.

Now Joel Comm has released the fourth edition of AdSense Secrets. This book has been updated with the latest information about earning through AdSense. What makes this offer so irresistable is the price factor.

You can buy AdSense Secrets at $9.95.

I still cannot believe that Joel Comm is doing this. Then I studied his sales letter carefully to find out why he would do something like this.

1. This is an excellent marketing tactic. Matt Bacak is selling $5,500 worth of Internet Marketing Seminar at $1 and Joel Comm is selling his $97 book at $9.95. If you check both the sales letters you will see a bonus free subscription to their newsletter for a month. Many would get hooked and stay on as members at $29.95 or $39.95 per month.
2. The internet marketer grows a valuable list of subscribers who are paid customers. Lot better than freeloaders.

3. Internet Marketing has become more and more competitive and everyone has to find new ways of getting people to listen to them. If they listen for a while without getting distracted by the 100 other products clamming for attention, the internet marketer can prove to them what their ideas are really worth.

4. The non-US market, especially the Asian market (particularly the Indian Market) will love to take advantage of these low priced offers. The internet marker’s name itself speaks for the quality of the product. When it is available at an affordable price many would want to benefit from it.

1. I would like you to buy AdSense Secrets if you are interested in earning through Google AdSense and other affiliate programs.

2. I would also like you to think for a moment where all this might end. Lately I have been observing $1000 dollar products sold for a few dollars. I wonder how the people who bought it for the first time feel.

When a new product is announced today, I stop to wonder…

Will this be available to me at 1/10 th of the cost one year later? Should I buy it now or wait for a while?

Many have been overwhelmed by the thought of writing ‘authority content’ for an ‘authority site’ day after day. This was one of my problems. I was not sure of my passion and I was not sure I would be able to create a site worthy to be part of “Authority Site Center’.

How do you find stuff to write about day-after-day?

Jack Humphrey demystified this crucial challenge faced by many, on Day 10 of “16 Steps to Success’ free webinar training program.

Jack Humphrey gave a number of cool, easy-to-follow, down-to-earth practical tips. Jack is busy with a number of projects but still finds time to keep the 10,000 unique visitors who come to his “Friday Traffic Report” every day. By showing how he manages this task and how he is able to give what the visitors want without taking too much of his precious time, Jack was able to demystify the content development process.

I always believe in not what people say but in observing and learning from what people do. If anyone is able to set an example, show how he is doing it themselves and tells you this is how you can do it too, I find it more believable.

I have got a special offer to check out “Authority Site Center” for three months at a discount. I have got all my questions answered. I have been told what I am letting myself in during the “16 Steps to Success” program.

It is as if I have already got the program for free, got tons of free resources I can use whether I join “Authority Site Center” or not.

This has convinced me to check out “Authority Site Center” for three months at a discounted price. I am mentally prepared to take action in the way the “16 Steps to Success” program has laid it out for me in such an extraordinary detail.

If you could not attend the 16 Steps program you missed something priceless. But you can make up for it just by downloading the free “Authority Black Book” and subscribing to the RSS feed of “Friday Traffic Report”.

“Authority Black Book” is free to download.

I am not completely convinced about ‘Authority Site Center’ but the minus points are far too few compared to the plus points.

Here is my review of Authority Site Center:

If you don’t know what an ‘authority site’ is and what I am talking about it is right time you downloaded the free Authority Black Book.

Jack Humphrey’s Authority Site Center has about 200 videos - all of excellent quality and superb content.

Right from Marketing Research to Monetization of Blogs, CPanel Videos to WordPress Optimization - everything is covered.

I have been using WordPress for quite a while now and I know a little bit about Market Research and monetization of blogs. But I have never seen such a thorough knowledge base in one place.

One-Stop Learning Center

It is really a one-stop learning center that can take an absolute newbie (smart working newbie who is willing to put in the required effort) and turn the person into an authority not only in the topic of the chosen niche but also blogging for monetization.

The case studies and the sites that have been created by members prove the success of the intensive course taught. More videos are being added and more training materials are continuously added in a variety of forms, PDFs, audios, videos and webinars.

Get Started, Get Going

The most important part is the newbie orientation webinar which are untiringly conducted twice a week to introduce each and every member to the various resources available on the site.

Sam Clark is a webinar expert. You should listen to him to believe the energy he exudes that is contagious.

After the orientation new members are taken through the ‘16 Steps to Success’ program to create their site and then the superb 60-day marketing plan.

Sites created by members get expert evaluation and peer feedback and at whatever step problems are faced, solutions are suggested. The forum is a buzzing place with thousands of posts by members. The help desk is really prompt in responding to queries.

Members get a WordPress blog created for them with a unique header graphic designed by in-house designers. Software are created to promote blogs and given to members free of cost. Special Plugins are created for ‘Authority Site Center’ WordPress blogs.

But… Here Comes My Reservation

Having said all these I have a reservation about Authority Site Center. The membership fee is $97 and the site will be in ASC server. Whenever I decide to discontinue with the membership I will get my blog back but I will have to shift everything to my server. I will not be able to use the software unless I pay for them. I will not be able to use their plugins.

So to use the facilities and avoid the nuisance of shifting my site I will have to continue the membership even after I become an expert and have learned a lot about creating an authority site.

So what makes Authority Site Center membership worth the price?

The elite group of members at the Authority Site Center who participate in forum discussions and help each other, the JV opportunities, the software that will be created in future keeping in mind the changing reality of the virtual world and the growing knowledge treasure resulting from the experiences of everyone involved in improving visitor experience…

<b>Updates</b>

The latest update is that you need not host the websites in ASC. You can use your own webhost if you prefer it that way. The WordPress and the special header will be created for you even if you want to host your blog on your own webserver. More software will be made available to members that will help them get more back links, more traffic and make it easy for them to manage their blogs.

If you don’t know what an ‘authority site’ is and what I am talking about it is right time you downloaded the free Authority Black Book.
