Travis Sago Bum Marketing King Versus PotPie Girl

King Travis has been dethroned. Long live Pot Pie Girl, the
undisputed Queen of Bum Marketing.

Yes, Travis Sago made it to 7 figures before Pot Pie Girl, but
he got a big head start. What I'm interested in, is not who has
the most money, but who is the better mentor and who has their
students best interest more at heart.

If you've learned from the King then you know that he consistently
tells you not to even bother writing an article based on a keyword
with more than 5,000 competition....(Putting the keyword in quotes
and reading the amount of returns.)

But Pot Pie Girl says that formula is so vague it basically means nothing
in and of itself. She says you could have a lot more than 5,000 sites using
that keyword but with very few serious SEO competitors, thereby allowing.
you to get a first page listing on Google for that keyword. Or conversely,
there may be only several hundred sites using the keyword, but they all
are search engine optimized, thus the competition would be too great to get
a first page SERP. She offers a different formula to put in the Google search
field:

intitle:"keyword" inanchor:"keyword"

(Make sure you put the colon : between the E and the quote mark and
between the R and the quote mark; and put a space before inanchor,
as well as between multiple words in the keyword phrase.)

Eg - intitle:"mariah carey is still hot" inanchor:"mariah carey is still hot"

This formula will tell you how many sites have the keyword in the
title as well as in an anchor text link, which is an indication of serious
competition. She says to look for returns with less than 100. But she also
says to try whatever feels right. You never know when something will
work even when the numbers & logic would indicate otherwise.
(that to Travis constantly repeating not to even bother if it's over 5000.)

Anyway, using Pot Pie Girl's formula, I was shocked to be able
to get first page SERP (search engine results page) listings on
Google when the King Travis formula showed results in the
hundreds of thousands and even sometimes in the millions!

That's quite a big difference between 5,000. Don't you think?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't sweat it. I could
fill you in with a 3 minute conversation, but take my word for now,
this is a huge discrepancy between the "juiciness" level in what he
is teaching and what she is teaching.

His way keeps thousands of aspiring marketers from competing
with him, since they think it's not worth taking a shot and writing
an article on what must amount to millions of keywords.

It also leaves them more prone to join his $100 a month daily keyword
service. It worked on me. I could barely find any high search keywords
with less than 5,000 competition, so I jumped at the chance to try a daily
list of the King's keywords, even if they had already been sent to hundreds
of other folks up to several months before me.

Pot Pie Girl says keyword services never did her much good
and she advises her students to hone their own skills instead
of relying on others.

It's a classic newbie mistake to pay needlessly for things
hoping
to make you money instead of learning the skills
yourself.


When I tried out his keyword service I wrote to the support
department and asked what gives, because I was working the
low competition formula and was getting a lot of results OVER
the 5,000 mark.

I was told to watch the video from the welcome email that shows
how you don't get the true count of competing website due to omitted
results. And that by clicking to the last page they show in the listings,
you allegedly get the accurate count.

This means you have to keep clicking on the last page they have
a link for; like page 10 then 19 then 28 then 37 and so on. And at
some point you'll get to the end, because it will say, "In order to
show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some
entries very similar to the 754 already displayed.
"

So while you started out putting the keyword in quotes, for
instance, "make money fast" and it gave you a return of "about
675,000". Then you drill down like King Travis tells you to do,
and it stops at 484 results, for instance.

Are you following me here? Quick Review:

When I asked how come they had so many keywords on their list
that people pay $100 a month for that were beyond the 5,000
mark that Travis tells us isn't worthwhile, I was told to watch
the video about omitted results to learn how to get the accurate
count, and when I did that and checked it against his keywords,
sure enough, all his keywords were under 5,000.

In fact they were all under 1,000. But get this -- Every keyword
in the world is also under 1,000 (try it at home!) so his entire
low competition formula is as worthless as Pot Pie Girl intimates,
even without dealing with any of this extraneous nonsense.

I emailed his Support staff about this issue of all keywords being under
5,000 and never heard from them again, so needless to say, I quit his
keyword service. Sheesh. The important distinction to be made is, he
obviously is aware of the formula Pot Pie Girl teaches (intitle:inanchor),
but he chooses not to share it.

By the way, when he first promoted it, he said he hates false
scarcity tactics, and he was limiting his membership to only
300. He promised this was not false scarcity. You could only
logically be left with the belief that you need to be in that group
of 300 or lose out on his keyword genius.

But guess what? When he got a lot more than 300, he started a
second group of 300 with the promise of different keywords
and his Support Department says that the second group is just
as good as the first group.

Do you think they will stop at 2 groups if there is a demand for
more? Do you think they will ever stop? Do you think the
quality of the keywords will ever diminish?

Now, even if he's so good that he really could have unlimited
groups buying unlimited keyword lists and one is just as good
as the other, what's with the urgency to get in on the group of
300, especially since he abhors false scarcity tactics? And
why did they keep the same web page up and video up for
months (even after he opened the second group) making that
claim urging everyone to be one of the 300? (It may still be up
now, in fact.)

So who do you trust? Pot Pie Girl who says that the keyword
in quotes formula means nothing and gives a more specific formula
that allows you to get first page listing on some keywords that have
results in the millions, instead of less than 5000?

Or do you trust Travis who says repeatedly, don't bother trying
writing articles if you can't find results less than 5,000, but pay
me $100 a month, every month for keywords that often don't
meet that same criteria?

Pot Pie Girl's One Week Marketing, 7 day action plan shows you
exactly what to do each day of the week. At the end of the tasks
for day 7, you have created a mostly set it and forget it income
stream, and on day 8, you find a new product or service to create
a new campaign for a new income stream.

At the end of one year, you have up to 52 streams of income on
auto-pilot making you money while you sleep. You pay for it
one time, not every month, but you get support for life. That's
right, free coaching in the form of her ticket support department
that is fully trained and very responsive.

The entire package costs a lot less than one month of the King's
membership list, and it comes with a no questions asked,
ironclad, prompt and courteous refund if you aren't thrilled
with your results.

Pot Pie Girl was earning up to 6 figures within 2 years of implementing
this One Week Marketing system and there are thousands of her
students making money for the first time on the internet, instead of
losing money.

has your name all over it.

Squidoo, Pot Pie Girl & YOU Can Turn It All Around

Clickbank is the best place to find your affiliate marketing products when
you are first starting out. (Quick payouts and up to 75% commissions!)
A newbie can gain a lot of confidence and inspiration to keep plugging
away with some early Clickbank sales.

The Biggest Reason For Article/Bum Marketing Failure

Newbies don't understand the cumulative nature of the process & how
slow it can be to get those first sales -- & from there to build up
momentum to the point of cash flow you can count on. It's like building
a house or a high rise. You're going to spend time underground creating
a foundation before you see the results. But once you see them, they will
keep increasing until it's obvious you're building something special --
Unless you quit the project and leave it unfinished.

"If You Will Do For 1 Year What Most People Won't, You Can Have For
Life What Most People Don't" ~ Pot Pie Girl (Jennifer Ledbetter) Queen
of the Bum Marketing Method.

One year is all it takes to turn things around completely with Pot Pie Girl's
7 day action plan, One Week Marketing. But if you give up after two
months because you only made $30 dollars or $100, etc., you'll only be
robbing yourself blind.

Say Goodbye To Not Knowing What To Do!

As a newbie, your biggest problem is not knowing what specific actions to
take and what not to waste your time with. One Week Marketing shows
you EXACTLY what to do each day of the week. On day 7 you are done
with that income stream and on day 8 you pick a new product. By the
end of a year, you have up to 52 streams of income making you money
while you sleep. (Seriously! So don't quit!!)

How To Make Money - Squidoo Fun & Cash

Resign From The Procrastinator's Club

If you have yet to make your first Squidoo lens, take it from me & don't
wait another day. It's just such a waste of time to put off your Squidoo
experience.

I had been meaning to get around to Squidooing for years, before I
actually did it, and I'm both glad I finally started and sorry I waited so long.
Not even thinking in terms of how it's making me money on auto-pilot, I
can honestly tell you that Squidoo is one of the most satistying and fun
parts of being on the internet.

Here's An Weird Analogy

As I write this, I'm in the midst of septic tank line replacement job. When
I just looked at what I've done so far and saw the mountain of dirt I've
displaced I felt good about myself for having done so much on my own.
Well, every time I complete another Squidoo lens, I feel satisfied like that,
even though it's a lot less work to make a lens.

Who Needs A Website When You Have Squidoo?

Squidoo makes it so easy to piece things together and make impressive &
beautiful pages within a matter of minutes in some cases, that after you're
done you look at it and think, "Dang. Nice job!" :-)

Guaranteed Income Generation

If you've yet to make your first dollar online, then you need to run, not
walk over to Squidoo & get started today because they guarantee you
will make money, simply because they will share their advertising revenue
with you, just for the asking, (& without the hassle of being accepted and
confirmed by Google Adsense.)

Affiliate Commissions

So many other sites that let you publish don't allow your affiliate links, but
no so with Squidoo. Bring them on and make some nice affiliate cash to go
along with your advertising revenue.

The Best Affiliate Marketing / Squidoo Teacher

As the former president of the Procrastinator's Club, I made the same
mistake with Pot Pie Girl, that I made with Squidoo. She had orbited into
my universe a year and a half earlier and I ignored her. Wow, I so glad I
stuck to her the second time her planet came back into my solar system.

She created an affiliate marketing system that she did for free (other than
'net access) that relies heavily on Squidoo and makes her 6 figures a year
selling other products that aren't hers. (Don't let anyone tell you that you
must have your own product, or at least your own website to make money.)

Why Squidoo? Making Money With Pot Pie Girl

This blog is dedicated to Pot Pie Girl's system of using Squidoo to earn
affiliate income. She makes 6 figures a year and has thousands of
followers who are making money online for the first time in their lives.

Pot Pie Girl became one of the most successful article marketers within
just a few years of deciding to try her hand at making money online.
Central to her success is the use of Squidoo, the awesome free website
that allows absolutely anyone to create a huge internet presence.

Why Squidoo?

Squidoo is uniquely qualified to serve Pot Pie Girl's system. One reason
is because the concept is to make several pages and link them together
almost as if they are different pages within you your own niche site.
Squidoo has a few ways to link your pages together, from Lens Roll to
Featured Lenses, to the Discovery Tool.

Squidoo Is Just So Easy

They made it incredibly easy to mix text and photos and have a great
layout design. You can easily make beautiful pages quickly.

Modular Building Block System Is Too Fun For Words

You're going to love how you can use different modules and piece them
them together to make a complete lens experience.

Squidoo Encourages Affiliate Marketing

Many sites won't let you link directly to affiliate pages. Squidoo is not one
one of them. They even have optional modules made just for selling.

Google Loves Squidoo

Google has a love affair with Squidoo. You have a good chance of getting
on Google's first page of search results, which is the mother's milk of
affiliate marketing.

Squidoo Making Money Free & Easy

First off, when I say "...Making Money...Easy" I mean compared to digging
ditches in the hot sun. I don't mean to insinuate that work is not required.
In fact, working every day for several months to build up momentum is
what I recommend. There will come a point when you will make money
every day whether you work or not, but to get there takes a lot of effort in
the face of no income.

Did I Really Just Say, "No Income"?

Look. If you were to start a business in the brick & mortar (offline) world,
you might invest tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and work double
shifts for years before you make your first penny.

Squidoo is going to help you make money for free (other than internet
access), so you shouldn't freak out at the thought of working for some
weeks before you see your first income.

You could probably find some pay to click ad sites or paid survey sites
that might pay you a dollar or so a day without having to wait long, but
if you want to earn real income you'll need to work without pay for a
while and then work with little pay for a while longer

What millions of people have done to try to get around this fact is fall
for some guru program that promises to make money for you for only
X amount of dollars (usually monthly).

On the other hand, if you use Squidoo the way this blog talks about,
you might be firing your boss within a year and have auto-pilot income
coming in for years to come, even if you stopped your efforts altogether.

If you're interested in using Squidoo to make money free and 'easy',
the first requirement is to get Pot Pie Girl's Free Squidoo Guide.

Squidoo Affiliate Marketing - Ready Made Modules Or Your Own Affiliate Links

One of the many incredible aspects of Squidoo is they don't merely allow
affiliate marketing; they actively encourage it. You can promote almost
any affiliate opportunity you are a member of or you can use their ready
made modules designed to help you make money selling things.

The favorites are eBay and Amazon, but there are others, (and Amazon
has several different modules.) Here's the list:

  1. eBay
  2. Amazon
  3. Amazon Recommends
  4. Amazon Voting
  5. Amazon Spotlight
  6. Amazon MP3
  7. Amazon Search
  8. Cafe Press
  9. Netflix
  10. iTunes
You do not use an affiliate account when you are using these selling
modules. The sales will go to Squidoo and they will split the profits
with you. If you don't wish to share affiliate commissions, then don't
use those modules to promote your products. (Opt for the basic text
modules instead.) Some people find it convenient to use those eBay
seller modules, but as a businessman, I choose not to.

Another Thing To Keep In Mind

Squidoo has a few other modules designed to sell stuff, but
you won't get a commission from those at all. I'm scratch
my head when I see people using those...Except for the misc.
charity donation modules, of course. Here's the list of non paying
selling modules:

  1. Donations
  2. ArtByUs
  3. LuLu
  4. Etsy
  5. Shopit
  6. Zazzle
There Is One Benefit From Using These

Even though you won't make a direct commission, you can improve
your "lens rank" by having your readers go to these other sites.
Squidoo will give you a bigger percentage of the shared revenue
they generate. It's a small victory though. As a student of Pot Pie
Girl, I know the only click-throughs I want from my visitors is to
my affiliate pages or other lenses of mine.

Yes, Squidoo Shares Their Advertising Revenue With You

Squidoo is a rare website that will split their advertising money with
you, (if you change your settings from the default charity position.)
You'll even make Adsense cash without going through the hassle
of getting confirmed by Google. This is beyond any affiliate money
you make and is guaranteed.

Squidoo Guarantees You'll Make Money

There are 3 things guaranteed in life:
  1. Death
  2. Taxes
  3. You'll make money if you create Squidoo lenses (pages)
How Can Squidoo Guarantee It?

You've seen the disclaimer warnings on every program out there which
says that there is no guarantee you will make any money and there are
many variables including you dedication, persistence, experience, etc., etc.

So how can I tell you that you, absolutely, will make money with Squidoo?

Advertising Revenue

There are two basic ways to make money with Squidoo.

  • Affiliate Income
  • Squidoo Sharing of Ad Revenue
Affiliate Income

Yes, I can't guarantee you'll make affiliate sales, but if you persist & learn
a few minutes worth of keyword research & write your lenses (Squidoo pages)
using good keywords, in time you absolutely should make some affiliate sales.
In fact, you could go on to make a ton of dough. But no guarantees here.


Advertising Revenue

Do you ever wonder why some websites will give you free space to create
pages?

You are giving them content that they can place ads on. You are helping
them to make money. Most sites keep all the money themselves.

Squidoo shares 50% of their ad revenue with either charity (default) or
with their members who make lenses. You just need to know how to switch
the settings from the default which will send (your) money to charity, to
instead send it to your PayPal account.

The more lenses you create, the more money you will make. And of course,
that's not even counting the affiliate income you can generate. It can come
from some of the ready made, built in affiliate opportunities, including Ebay
& Amazon, and/or you can include almost any other affiliate link you wish
to promote.

Affiliate: Make Marketing Money (Squidoo Money)

Affiliate: Make Marketing Money

The quickest & simplest way to create a job-replacing
income online is affiliate marketing, which is getting
referral commissions from companies to which you send
customers.

The Internet Changed Everything

The internet leveled the playing field and made it
possible for the little gal to often compete with
big business. Corporations saw the writing on the
wall and embraced it by expanding and creating more
affiliate programs. Today, you can make money as an
affiliate selling just about anything. Even Walmart has
an affiliate program! It's quite simple:

1. You drive traffic to company websites

2. Their software tracks who you sent and pays you
a percentage of what they bought.

3. You cash the referral commission check.

Paid and Free Methods

The best paid method of affiliate marketing is search
engine pay per click traffic. The beauty is it's targeted
traffic, meaning you are selling what people are
actively searching for. I'm sure you've seen the right
hand column of "sponsored links" on your Google
search results page. Those are almost all from
affiliate marketers. They only have to pay when
someone clicks on their ad taking them to a website
where they might make a sale.

Bum Marketing - Pay Per Click Without Paying

The best free method of affiliate marketing is known
as Bum Marketing. So affordable and so basic, a bum
off the street could do it....(assuming she had the right
teacher and internet access.) A bum marketer writes
articles and blog posts on free websites in such a way
as to get Google search results listings (hopefully) on
the first page.

The Bum Marketer never has to pay, no matter how
many clicks they get. Their traffic is just as targeted
as the pay per click. It's not hard to learn at all, but it
requires diligence and persistence. You could work
for a month or two and only see $50 or less. It takes
time before it can "snowball".

That's The Irony

In a year or two the Bum Marketer might have job
replacing income on auto pilot and could even possibly
make money for years to come, even if she never
wrote another article. Many 'net millionaire's started
off as Bum Marketers. Of course, at a certain point,
they can afford to pay for things so they
aren't still Bums in the pure sense of the term.

The Best Bum Teacher Is Pot Pie Girl

Pot Pie Girl created her own specialized system of
Bum Marketing using the free site Squidoo, that is
sheer genius in it's simplicity. She calls it One Week
Marketing because she has a 7 Day Action Plan.
Every day you have certain tasks. At the end of the
week, you have an auto-pilot income stream that you
can pretty much forget about. Every month you have
at least 4 new streams of income, making you money
even as you sleep.

Does It Work?

Pot Pie Girl earns in the high 6 figures annual in less
than 4 years. Thousands of her followers are making
money for the first time ever on the internet.
Everyone who follows her directions makes money with
One Week Marketing, and she will even give a no
questions asked, prompt & courteous refund to people
who don't follow her directions. Here's her promise:

"If You Will Do For One Year What Most People Won't,
You Can Have For Life What Most People Don't"

She provides free coaching for life through her ticket
support system and there are no additional costs. Not
to her or to pay for websites, autoresponders or
anything else you don't want to.
