FirePow is not a blogging software. It is a complete system with everything avaialble on one screen at the click of a button.

So far I have not seen a system as complete as FirePow. Now Andrew Hansen has added free hosting to make the system unbeatable.

I have been using FirePow for a month now. I can create one site per day. I get quality content from article directories, RSS feeds, Youtube videos. I can add my own original content too. I can add images to my articles. I can ping RSS directories as well as social sites.

I open the FirePow backend and without leaving that page I am able to accomplish everything. I can access the WordPress dashboard too right from within FirePow.

I get ready-made themes to use for my blogs. If I don’t like the themes of FirePow, I can generate my own theme by clicking a few more buttons. Or better still I can upload my favorite theme into FirePow.

I can promote my blog by submitting articles to FirePow’s exclusive blog network. I can check my SEO stats. I get training through reports, videos and special forum where Andrew actively participates. The training covers everything from Niche research to blog monetization. Andrew has created a blog himself through FirePow and shows every step of the process involved through a case study.

I can manage my blogs easily through a task manager that sets the blue print for me with exact time settings. Andrew has automated all that can be automated in blogging and at the same time has kept every option open for unique creations.

For example, ready-made themes, ready-made articles, ready-made pinging facility are all integrated, You need not even activate the plugins. They get activated automatically.

At the same time you can have your own WordPress theme, your own articles, special plugins that are available only to FirePow members and all the customization opportunity you might ever want to have in a super WordPress blog.

I was a beta tester for FirePow and I can tell you with 100% assurance that Andrew takes every bit of feedback seriously and takes immediate action to fix any and all bugs.

Here is a sample FirePow blog I created on the first day within an hour: http://getpaidtowork.com/blog

I spent a little bit more time and created a WordPress theme of my own for another blog.

Here is the direct link for FirePow: http://getfirepow.com

Promotional business gifts serve a very important tool in the promotional procedures adopted by a company.

Read more about Promotional Business gifts

Choosing promotional products requires a systematic analysis of the goals of the company and the needs of the customers.

The promotional items should fit in with customer’s needs. Otherwise the purpose of giving such a gift will be defeated. The company has to choose such corporate gifts that customers can use as part of their day-to-day life. Simple products like T-Shirts, mugs, pens, pen holders or caps are some of the gift items chosen by companies to promote themselves.

Latest Update: The blog has been moved to www.webinarreviews.org/blog. Please submit your webinar news for publication. This blog was created as part of ‘Authority Site Center’ membership.

This is a customer review of ‘Authority Site Center’ with proof of visitors and their involvement in the site. When you create a site with great content that is useful for people interested in a specific niche you can get good traffic. Nobody will argue about that.

But the question is - how to knit it all together? Can anybody give a step-by-step program that teaches us to achieve this efficiently and quickly?

My authority web conferencing site WebinarReviews.org is not even a month old. I made my first welcome post on the site on May 19.

Here are the results for today:

696 visits and 2,174 page views. The average page view is more than 3. You can see the bounce rate is only 36%. These are not visitors who just click in and out at the speed of lightning. They are spending average 4 minutes on the site and in the next image you will see some are spending as much as 16 minutes. 75% new visitors - this means 25% are returning to the blog to read the fresh content.

You might wonder where these people are coming from. To put your mind at rest that I am not getting only my friends and family to visit my site, I have this proof from Google Analytics. The 696 visits are from 64 countries. The highest number is from the US. The US bounce rate is 40% which is a very good indication that they like the content on the site.

I love my India and the Indians are the next. They are reading 5 pages on average and spending as much as 16 minutes on the site. And their bounce rate is 16%. The other visitors are from UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Spain. Singapore and Malasia.

I have a web conferencing site on this niche and I started this after I started the blog. By the way, I created this site using XSitePro2, the superb new version of XSitePro that I love :).

XSitePro conducted a webinar to introduce the new features of XSitePro and you can read the XSitePro webinar news on webinarreviews.org.

Coming back to my ‘Authority Site’, you know it all started with the free ‘16 Steps to Success’ free webinar training of jack Humphrey and Sam Clark. I joined ASC after completing the webinar. Sam Clark helped me choose the niche and I adore his market research capabilities. The blue print he gave me was just out of this world.

Then I attended Jack Humphrey’s classes on how to use the superb software Brandon Hall has created for ASC. Jack and Brandon are a great team - Jack wants the best solution for his own Friday Traffic Report as well as his members at ASC and Brandon creates it for him exactly as he wants it. Utility Poster is a mind blowing software. It looks simple but its capabilities are immense if you know how to use it. Jack had a special webinar about using this software. And by the way all these webinars are recorded and are available in the members area for everyone to use.

This Web2.0 submitter and buzz group generate traffic for you

You will be amazed at the amount of information recorded and kept in the members area the history of which goes back to 2006. Every report, every teleseminar, every webinar, all the software, 200 + videos and everything that is needed to get the type of result I have shown is available in the members area of ASC.

At the moment I am undergoing training for the 60-day marketing plan of Authority Site Center. This is the training for which people pay 1000s of dollars to get a traffic pulling authority site built for them. I just cannot believe such a training is given to all of us and it was introduced in the free ‘16 Steps to Success’ webinar training. I have started implementing the program. I have a long way to go. But I have already seen the initial results and I am highly motivated to keep going.

I admire Jack for giving away so much for free. His Authority Black Book that starts you on this traffic generating psunami is free. This book revealing the web2.0 traffic tactics was “Ranked #1 Free eBook For Bloggers, Mashable.com, 2007″. The ‘Authority Black Book’ has super white hat strategies for getting thousands of visitors to the newest blogs. The book has been updated for 2008 with more information and more resources. And the book is still free. You can just sign up and get the Authority Black Book for free and start your successful online venture. Try it today. And check out my WebinarReviews.org for motivation.

With the growing communication channels that are bringing people together from various corners of the world web conferencing has come to the forefront as an effective option for promotion and education. Whether a marker wants to promote his products or a corporate needs to educate its partners, staff and customers web conferencing services are used.

There are many web conferencing services out there - some are free web conferencing services, some are paid with a free trial offer running to 14 days and some have limited services as free service with an option to upgrade and obtain more features and facilities. Here are some articles related to free web conferencing.

Whenever something is given for free we often wonder whether there is a catch somewhere. Can anything be really and absolutely free in this world? Is it possible to use a free web conferencing solution and have a successful online meeting? Or will it lead to a loss of time, energy and wasted man hours of all the people concerned?

XSitePro has released the latest version XSitePro2.

I have always used XSitePro. When I was completely new to internet marketing, had just learnt to send an email, I got introduced to XSitePro.

Today I build websites for others with or without using XSitePro. The credit for most of my learning about webdesign goes to XSitePro.

And now the added features makes XSitePro2 an uncomparable website builder.

…………………….

You have to just go to the XSitePro site and check out all the features.

I attended the XSitePro webinar and was eagerly waiting for this release.

Existing customers can upgrade to the new version at $97 from May 20 to 30.

New customers will have to pay more.

But XSitePro2 is really worth this amount. The manuals run to hundreds of pages and video instructions are available. But the interface is so easy to use, you may not check them out at all.

There has been a lot of discussion about social marketing. We have seen huge launches costing thousands of dollars and more are in the pipe line to be blasted on all of us.

Amidst this furore we hear a few whispers from users that social marketing is not working for them.

The advocators of social marketing say that Google loves social sites. And your backlinks from social bookmarking sites is worth its weight in gold for search engine optimization.

Google has announced a beta version of Google Friend Connect.

Google Friend Connect Beta

With Google Friend Connect I will be able to have a social networking site on my own site. What this is going to lead to and what kind of courses and training programs are going to be launched based on this remains to be seen. But one thing is certain…

Google is changing tracks…

Instead of me jumping around from one social network to another I may have to make my site so attractive for people to come there and interact on my site.

This will serve Google’s purpose of serving the best search results based on visitor satisfaction.

The future might or might not change the way we promote our sites.

But let us think for a moment and see if social marketing is working for us or not…

Social Marketing Does Not Work

- How many of us bookmark others’ sites or blogs in social bookmarking sites without expecting anything in return?

- How many of us truly interact in social sites without thinking about how much time we are spending on this and what will be the ROI?

- How many of us outsource this “boring job”?

- How many more would like to do outsource it if the service is better and available at a cheaper cost?

Social Marketing Works

- Social networking is useful because we go where people hang around.

- We want to meet the people at places where they love to spend time and make friends.

- We want to be part of the popular hangouts and expand our network of contacts.

- We want to treat others as friends rather than potential customers who fill our pockets.

Ok now for the balance…

I am not criticising social marketing as an outsider. I am very much part of the whole thing and I am going to bookmark this post on my favorite social networking sites.

But looking at these two points of view for myself I have realized…

Three Things I can do to make social marketing work for me

1. I cannot truly interact in 1000 social networking sites. I should choose four or five (or one or two) according to my interests.

I should choose only those sites where I really feel at home and want to be part of. The most important criteria for selection of the social site should be my genuine interest to be part of it. This criteria should override all other criteria.

2. I should be a part of those sites in the true sense of the term.

I should imagine I am the owner of the site and will do nothing to harm me and my interests. There is nothing purely selfless on this earth. What you give is going to return most often with interest.

3. I should genuinely interact with the people there without worrying about whether I get something in return or not.

If I am a true internet marketing wizard good at tracking and testing, it is quite likely I count the number of hours I spend there per week and how many visits or sales I made from that site. Then may be it would be better for me to spend money on Google AdWords rather than spend my time in social networking sites.
