During the month of April, I did not blog as much as I would have liked, but I did accomplish several tasks that have increased my knowledge Internet marketing and I have started selling on eBay again.

The biggest accomplishment of the month had to be the automation of my eBay information product business. I discovered a great tool that integrates eBay, aweber and Kunaki. I hope all of you know what eBay is by now.

Aweber is an auto responder email service that allows an Internet marketer or any marketer, to capture a visitor’s contact information such a name and email address with a double opt in (this complies with the Canned Spam Act). The double optin requires the user to click a verification link to receive the requested information. This way, you can email offers and content to the visitor and make money through the products that you promote.

Before I discovered Kunaki, I was burning and creating all of the eBooks I sold on eBay. Though this is not a difficult task, it is very time consuming and I wanted to use that time to market my business and website, so I went in search of a way to automate this eBay business and Kunaki was the solution. Kunaki is a company that allows you to upload digital media and the artwork that makes up the DVD case or CD case.

With the use of Auction Acrobat software, I have integrated eBay, aweber and Kunaki. Now, all I have to do is find new information products to sell and due my eBay market research.

Another milestone I reached during April 2009, I finally decided on a blog theme and a I created a landing page for my main domain: Your Internet Income Advisor. By making a change to the landing page of my domain, I decreased the bounce rate by 50% in a months time. This means more visitors are interacting with my website and blog for a longer period of time. The longer a visitor stays on your site the better! The longer a visitor stays on your site could mean that there is quality content worth reading.

I found a better monetization model for my blog and website. At first, I was using Google’s Adsense as a major part of monetization model. Though Google is huge and the tools are easy to implement on any website, there is one problem: the payout is very low. Because of this very low payout, I wanted to use an affiliate program that had higher payouts. I have always known about ClickBank, but was unaware of the nifty tools they provided for users. If you look to the right, you will see a section called sponsors. Well, that is a ClickBank similar to Google’s Adsense. The major difference, as put by JL Scott, “Adsense pays pennies, whereas ClickBank pays dollars.”
