I’m just going to say it. I’m a nincompoop.

You see Jay Hines’ released a nifty piece of software called Quick Tab Change quite a while back and I never really paid much attention to it. I guess my thought process was that initially it didn’t really sound like it would make that much of a difference in my surfing. Or so I thought.

But I thought wrong.

Anyone who uses traffic exchanges as part of their marketing strategy knows how important it is to maximize your time while surfing. Surfing traffic exchanges is considered a *free* method of advertising, but it’s not really free when you consider that your time has a monetary value on it as well. Therefore, it’s of utmost importance to surf efficiently to maximize your return.

One way to surf more efficiently is to use a tabbed browser so you can surf several different traffic exchanges at once. Jay Hines’ software, Quick Tab Change, makes tabbed surfing even more efficient by allowing you to create a “hot key” on your keyboard that allows you to switch tabs much quicker than having to move your mouse and clicking. My personal favorite is to make the left windows key my hot key so I can rest one hand on my keyboard while my other hand uses the mouse to click the surf buttons. This actually allows you to spend more time looking at the websites too because your eyes don’t have to be focused on your mouse pointer going up to switch tabs.

I completely ignored this piece of software when it first came out because I didn’t really think it would make much difference. But after doing some initial tests, you really can surf about 40% more efficient this way. And that can add up to a lot more credits to advertise your websites with.

So do yourself a favor and check out Jay Hines’ Quick Tab Change by clicking here.

You’ll earn more advertising credits for the time you spend surfing. Oh, and your friends won’t call you a nincompoop!

Clickbank Pirate is a new plug and play clickbank system created by well-known internet marketers Soren Jordansen and Cindy Battye. Selling clickbank products online is no different than selling other products and services online. If there’s one point I’d like to stress before continuing with my review of Clickbank Pirate, it’s that the system for making money online NEVER changes. Keep that in mind and it will save you a lot of time and money you might otherwise be spending searching for that “magic money making button”.

Trust me, I’ve looked everywhere for that magic button, and even that “easy” button I’ve seen on tv let me down. But I’m still convinced the Sham-wow is the real deal. The sooner you accept there is no magic button, the sooner you can get down to business and start making money. Although there is no magic button, it is possible to reduce your workload by taking advantage of plug and play systems like Clickbank Pirate that do much of the work for you.

I mentioned previously that the system never changes, and it doesn’t. There’s lots of variations, but the core system is always the same. So what is the system I’m talking about? It goes like this.

• 1.) Find a good product to promote
• 2.) Create squeeze pages to capture leads interested in the product
• 3.) Create content and follow-up emails to create a relationship with those leads and eventually turn them into buyers
• 4.) Drive traffic to those squeeze pages
• 5.) Create upsells, thank you, bonus, and other offers to maximize your profit
• 6.) Test, track, and tweak as needed to ensure maximum results
• 7.) Repeat the process with the next product

What I love about Clickbank Pirate is that it allows you to eliminate 90% of the work because you only need to concentrate on step 4, driving traffic. The rest is done for you by some of the top clickbank earners in the business. They do the product research to find the top converting clickbank products to sell. They create professional, eye-catching lead capture pages and follow-ups to capture the leads and turn those leads into buyers. They create thank you, bonus, and additional product offers for those buyers to provide you with ongoing income, and they test, track, and tweak the system every month to ensure maximum results . In addition, they do it all from their own servers so you don’t have to worry about having your own domain or hosting.

Will they do EVERYTHING for you, and will they do it for you FREE? Of course not. If you only want a free handout, you shouldn’t be here trying to make money online. If, on the other hand, you want to be able to put all your focus on just one aspect of internet marketing (traffic), and let the professionals take care of the rest, then this could be the system for you. It’s perfect for beginners or for seasoned marketers looking to create additional passive income while eliminating a lot of the time consuming, money guzzling work.

Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the Clickbank Pirate system.

Advantages
1.) Plug and play system-you can have it up and running and start promoting in just minutes
2.) You don’t have to do any time-consuming product research to find the right products to sell
3.) You don’t need to know how to create lead capture pages
4.) You don’t need to know how to write follow up emails
5.) You don’t need to know how to create thank you, bonus, or other additional offers
6.) You don’t need a website
7.) You don’t need an autoresponder
8.) You don’t need to know how to test and track results
9.) Built in blog feature-you can have your own blog up and running in just seconds
10.) You don’t need your own product to sell
11.) In house training to help you drive traffic to your capture pages
12.) Low cost relative to what you get

Disadvantages
1.) You still need to know how to get traffic to your capture pages (they do offer training in the member’s area)
2.) Once leads have signed up on the capture pages, they enter Clickbank Pirate’s follow-up system and are out of your control, meaning you can’t communicate with them and send them your own follow-ups or additional promotions
3.) You’re limited to using the capture pages they create for you, which reduces your ability to be creative and stand out from the crowd in your marketing efforts

4.) Initial cost of $67 and recurring cost of $37 per month after that may not be affordable for everyone, even though this cost is extremely low considering everything that’s done for you

The Clickbank Pirate system allows you to eliminate all of the work associated with promoting clickbank products online outside of driving traffic to the capture pages they provide. With hundreds of ways to drive traffic to a website, both free and paid, this aspect of internet marketing can be easily learned. Although the system requires a $37 per month investment, you’d easily be paying that much yourself for just a domain, hosting, and autoresponder account if you tried to do the same thing on your own. Then, you’d still have to do all the product research, capture pages, follow-ups, etc. yourself. For beginners and experienced marketers alike Clickbank Pirate can eliminate much of the workload and help you earn money online with a lot less of the hassle.
