Something about my PC searching the internet all by itself looking for things to help me make more money just makes me smile.  I can’t express how cool it feels.   Like I’m Neo searching for information about the Matrix, but in this case it is looking for money in every nook and cranny of the web.

I could probably ramble on all day about this program but the fact that they offer a free demo means you should just check it out instead of reading my random opinions.  I think you’ll like it. If you’re serious about making money online or are already making money Axandra IBP is a great investment in your business.

To make a long story short, this onesource review will cover what WWB’s One Source program can do for you.  If you’re reading this review chances are you already know what it is and just want to know if it is worth the investment.

Right off the bat a huge plus of World Wide Brands’ drop ship directory is that your account doesn’t expire.  You could use it to start up 20 online businesses if you wanted to.

Drop Ship Directory Review

What does it do?
The java based one source tool lets you search their enormous wholesaler directory for keywords or products.  If you wanted to sell Baby Cribs you just type it in and (optionally) choose a category to better narrow your search.  It will then present you with a list that tells you how many of the various types of suppliers are available with the product you want.

As you can see in my resized and cropped screenshot here there are 12 drop shippers available that say they have baby cribs.

If you’re already familiar with the terms in the above image please skip this paragraph.  Drop Ship means that the company will shop products directly to your customers for you.  That means you don’t need any inventory or a warehouse (or garage full of boxes like many of us).  Light Bulk means that they will sell you small quantities directly (rather than by the case or whatever the minimum order size is for the larger volume wholesalers).  The OneSource results will also show you liquidations and auctions if they are available, which is a great way to acquire a deeply discounted one-time supply of products.

We want to drop ship our baby cribs directly to customers so we click on the “12″ and get the screen below.

This shows us a more detailed description of exactly what the product is.  This information alone will save you countless hours.  Imagine for a moment that you wanted to sell heart-shaped cribs.  Without the information from World Wide Brands you’d have to find all the baby product suppliers you could. Then you’d filter down that list to ones that did drop shipping.  Then you’d find out that they won’t give you any information about exactly what products they provide or the pricing unless you have a wholesale account with them.  Setting up such an account can take a while and you usually have to fax around a few forms.  Imagine doing this with 10 companies only to find out none of them have heart shaped cribs.

While we’re on the heart shaped cribs subject we click on that.  It will then show a list of suppliers for that product (in this case it is only 1).  If you click on that 1 supplier you will get a detailed page about that wholesaler.

Unfortunately their terms of service don’t allow me to disclose the details of the wholesalers listed in their directory, so i have covered the information so you can still see how it looks.  They give you almost everything you need to know right on this screen, at which point you are usually one click away from signing up for their wholesaler or drop ship program.

The usefulness of the OneSource product doesn’t end here.  It will also try to give you an estimate of how difficult selling a particular product online will be.

This screen shows keywords related to your search and what kind of search volume they get.  Heart cribs may be somewehre further down the list.  The competition, advertising, and Auction tabs also show information which will help you decide if selling that product online is a good idea.  Your goal should be to find the perfect balance between too much competition and no demand.  What I find most useful about it is that it will help you decide what kind of business or products you will be successfull selling. 

I haven’t regretted my purchasing onesource for even a moment. It is priceless when brainstorming new business ideas and has saved me countless amounts of time and money.

Even if you’re not ready to get started just yet I highly recommend checking out the World Wide Brands Web Site because it has a ton of valuable information, free ebooks about selling products online, videos, etc.

They’ve put together a great video showing you how the process works which does a much better job than I ever could of explaining it.

Anyway I hope you’ve found this worldwide brands review helpful and I wish you all success in your future ventures.

One of my friends and business partners keeps suggesting that I package up one of the software products I’ve created to build sites for myself and sell it to other people. My response is always “I’d rather have all the sites myself and make all the money while other people wonder where I got the script that built that.. which is much better than trying to get a hundred dollars from a few people here and there and end up with clones of my sites everywhere.” I guess that is a fairly long-winded way of saying “I wanna keep it for myself!”

I’m still around, and last month I made more money than I ever have in my life. The scary but exciting thing about that is I’m barely scratching the surface of the amount of revenue the web sites I’ve already built could be making. A year from now I expect to be making even more money online.  I decided that I don’t really want to be the jerk insulting people or flashing his money around saying “neener neener!”  I’d rather be the millionaire that nobody knows about… unless they happen to see me out driving a car that most people can’t afford.

So, are you raking in online cash every month?

This year will mark my move toward selling my own products and less affiliate marketing. I’m hiring some additional staff which should help the 25 or so web sites I must’ve built in 2006 start to take off. I made a lot of money last year don’t get me wrong, but I really believe that each of my web sites is running at about 5% of its potential.

I’m sort of an engineer by nature, so I have to force myself to stop making new stuff all the time. I’ve cranked out quite a number of web sites in the past 18 months and never even tried to get incoming links to most of them. Now that they’ve had a chance to age a bit, get indexed, go through all the Google Sandbox BS, etc it is time to turn it up.

I have to constantly remind myself that I know exactly what it takes to make money online (which is obvious since I’m already doing it pretty well), but I need to stop letting myself get distracted. Focus is crucial.

A couple of good quotes from some wise online people (I apologize if I get these wrong or attribute them to the wrong person):

I’ve been a user of Axandra’s IBP for quite a while and honestly never thought I’d have a need for SEO Elite. Well after seeing some of the things it can do that IBP and ARELIS can’t I changed my mind and took the plunge. The entire purpose of this program is to analyze incoming links to your competition, and to find places that might be willing to link to you. After all, if you can get incoming links from all the sites that link to your competition, you should be able to catch up with them on the search engines right? Yes.. If your on-page optimization is good that is.

SEO Elite allows you to check the links for several web sites all at once and select which search engines you want to chcek for those incoming links. This is important because MSN and Yahoo typically show a lot more incoming links to a site than Google does, so it pays to check more than just Google! This program also grabs a lot of information about the link pages and sites it analyzes. It will show you the Alexra ranking, Google PageRank, and number of outgoing links on these pages that link to your competitors. It also attempts to figure out the email address of the site owner, making it much easier to contact them for a link exchange. It will even check the IP address of the sites and filter the results to only show a single page on 1 IP address. This is because it is widely accepted that Google and other search engines track sites on the same IP address and discount multiple links from the same IP.

Another thing you can do is analyze the anchor text of the incoming links to a specified site. You might think that in order to rank for the term “purple banana” you’d want to get a whole bunch of incoming links with that anchor text. This is only partially true however. You may find that the site that ranks #1 for your target keyword only has a few links pointing to them with that exact phrase. The overall percentage of links with that anchor text is probably a lot lower than you’d expect. This can give you a great guideline for how many links you want with that phrase, and some other anchor text phrases you may want to try. Getting 95% of your incoming links with the same anchor text is a sure way to get penalized for over-optimizing your site.

There are several other ways that SEO Elite can help you, such as checking your link partners to make sure they still link to you. Oh did I mention that it can also send out emails for link exchanges for you? It’ll also find link submission forms. This program is very sweet and I am just starting to scratch the surface of what it is capable of. The only drawback I can think of really is that it is not cheap. SEO Elite is much less expensive than IBP though. I would take a bunch of screen shots and whatnot but you can see those here.

This is an extremely valuable tool in my arsenal now. It dramatically increases my effectiveness when looking for link partners. I don’t regret my purchase even for a second.

What is AdSense?
Google Adsense is a contextual ad service that automatically puts ads related to your page’s content on your site.  You choose the ad style and colors and Google gives you a bit of javascript that you can paste into your HTML.  Google’s bot will visit your site, determine what it is about, and show an advertisement that is usually pretty relevant to the content of the page it is shown on.  This increases your ad clickthrough rate (CTR) dramatically over normal banner advertising. AdSense pays on a per click basis, the price of which varies wildly and is depedent on the topic of the site (how valuable those visitors are to the people purchasing the ads). 

What do I need to make money with adsense?
There are two main things required to make any decent kind of money running google adsense. The first is traffic.  Without visitors there’s nobody to click your ads.  This is obviously very important.  The second is good ad placement.  Even with bad ad placement some people will click them if you get enough traffic.  Good ad placement can make the difference between making a little bit of money or 3 to 4 times that much.  You have to make a good trade-off between ad revenue and annoying your visitors. 

How Do I get started running Google AdSense?
Click the big blue button below to get started right away.  Signing up doesn’t take very long, and you can soon be on your way to making hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars every month!

That one little thing might make me enough extra money every month to pay my mortgage. I’ve been doing this for a while now but it still amazes me when I see the power of small things on large scales. If you can create a page/site/product that makes $50 a day without requiring any work that adds up to $1500 every month.

Do that several times and you’ll be making a ton of money online without a lot of ongoing effort. It amazes me that everyone isn’t already doing this. Imagine paying off your car loan in a few months. Imagine paying cash for your next vehicle. Imagine not worrying about where the money for bills is coming from. You’d have to be crazy not to do it too.

You’re probably wondering why I’m telling you this. I just wanted to let people know that I’m a real person. I’m not a phony persona hiding behind anonymity. I don’t claim to be a millionaire like many others do. This year has been pretty good to me, but I KNOW that next year is going to be even better. I’m going to blow the roof off my bank account making the money I made this year look like peanuts.

Once you get a good understanding of how to make money online and get the ball rolling you almost have to go out of your way to fail to make any money.

In fact I recently put my wife to work doing some things for me that I don’t have enough time for. She’s not a technical person by any means. I gave her a copy of my book and turned her loose on one of my sites. She’s going to be very shocked in a few months when the couple hours a day she’s been putting in generates more income than her previous full time job. The best part is that it is passive income. If she goes back to work we’ll continue to get paid for all the stuff she did while working from home.

If she’s going to be at home taking care of kids (what mother wouldn’t want to be?) it is nice to know there will always be work that pays well for her to do. She can generate more income for both of us while sitting on the couch with the laptop watching decorating shows, relaxing on the porch with our adorable dog Roxy, or wherever else the wifi can reach.

Sometimes I forget how fortunate we truely are.
