Review of Operation Money Pump

Operation Money Pump

An internet marketing guru known only as “Mr. X” has just launched a new product he calls “Operation Money Pump.”

This is a guide to affiliate marketing and while it contains little that is earth shattering, it is a solid guide to internet marketing in 2007 and, hopefully, beyond.

Here are some of the topics discussed in this manual, which legitimately covers 60+ pages:

Introduction to affiliate marketing – what is affiliate marketing and why should you get involved in it? How to get started – Mr X claims this is a blueprint for your financial independence, and that he wrote this because he has bought similar guides in the past that just did not give enough details

How to choose a niche – critical to your success, in all honesty

Why and how to build a list, and some info on viral marketing

How to get people to opt in to your list

How to market your affiliate product

Branding yourself

Creating a great landing page that encourages your customers to take action

Some info on PPC strategies – a great way to build traffic before the search engines find you or rank you well

SEO – both onsite and offsite

How and when to mail your list

Expanding into creating your own product, now that you know what works well in that market

Generating pre-sale buzz

Using blogging and social bookmarking tools

This is a great guide for those who want to get started in internet marketing, with a focus on selling products as an affiliate. I would not say this is for experienced internet marketers, because they will learn little that is new. However, for the “newbie,” this guide will give you eve2rything you need to get started, as the author goes through each step in easy to follow detail.
