| By: Liz Tomey |

| Review Title: What a great read! |
| Date Reviewed: June 05, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Lyn Bell |
Liz Tomey has made this an easy read with step by step action to take to get your article written and submitted – and become the expert on your chosen niche. ‘Article Writing Secrets’ is chock full of helpful tips to get you started. Liz covers the pros and cons of article marketing and shows how you can use PLR to create articles that are your own.
There’s several links to take you some of the information and recourses that will help you with article marketing. The only negative (and it’s really not a biggie) is that there are several new headings but the content starts on a new page. Told you it was only a little niggle as it’s really hard to find fault in this e-book.
Thanks, Liz, for such an informative e-book.

| Review Title: A number of good links |
| Date Reviewed: October 05, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Lyn Bell |
Generally there is good material here with a number of helpful links.
Perhaps a more techically oriented person would have been able to load the sign up form on their Squidoo but I was unable to get it to work. I was left wondering what it was supposed to look like and thought an illustration would have been helpful. Perhaps a little more instruction was required, unless Squidoo was having one of those tangled days :)
Not knowing what crossblogging was I tried to find something on Google but it didn't seem to relate. A glossary of terms could be useful.

| Review Title: Very poor English |
| Date Reviewed: October 24, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Lyn Bell |
The idea of this book has merit and the drawings are cute but I think that the English is far too poor for anyone to want to put their name on to distribute it -- especially if they were to sell it and keep commissions. "You can now distribute the eBook to your list, and earn commission!" I think the title is just another illustration of the lack of English by the author.
Perhaps I'm missing something. I tried clicking on two of the four clickbank links throughout the ebook to see if there is another product for sale but it come up with error. |

James Jackson gives some very important advice in his introduction to this 50 niche ideas e-book - That is to focus on one project at a time. It is so easy to chop and change and end up doing nothing.
Good information but I felt that it could have been useful to have a suggestion of a few suitable keywords. The list of top Clickbank E-book selling titles in itself gives a few ideas for a niche so you are certainly getting more than 50 ideas.

I love the look of the site and the way it's set out. Great information on list building all in one place. There's plently of good stuff for those choosing to upgrade but I chose the basic membership at this time.
The links that take you to the site may be loaded incorrectly as I first of all clicked the 'click here to access' but it took me to a WHOOPS page. I filled the forms anyway and it was only when I went to read the terms that I realised I was signing up for SFW again. I tested it again and still the same so tried the 'You can see at the site it is actually $97.00 to sign up. ElistSecrets.com ' in the body of the text. There I was able to put the code in and complete registration.

I too was a bit disappointed with the style of writing but in saying that I prefer to rewrite articles anyway and use this sort of content to generate ideas.
Sometimes it's harder to rewrite something when it's done well, especially if you are not a copywriter or journalist. This makes it a positive for me as there's plenty of ideas. |

I have to admit that at 123 pages I haven't read all of Cash for Content as yet:) You can imagine how pleased I was to see that the content page actually had live links that take you to the section you would like to read. This is the way I will be going through the ebook for the moment -- reading pieces that are of specific interest.
Not only do you get this massive ebook but there's 16 pages of what is called a Toolbox. This consists of time management and worksheets for the main ebook. And ther's even some motivational stuff there.
I'm pleased I downloaded this product. |

| Full of good sound advice but I did find some of the content had a lot of ‘fill-in’ and unnecessary wording which on occasion made for clumsy reading. With world markets in turmoil and prices going up an e-book on budgeting is never more appropriate. Budgeting does not go out of date so despite this being new for 2007 we can all benefit for 2008. |

Perhaps the answer is on the last page:
"After it's determined that a website functions according to plan, it can be uploaded to a server so that the public can begin using it."
I guess this means I do all the work on my desktop and then transfer it over. Come on techie people please lead us newbies by the hand. Sorry, perhaps I'm greener than most;)

| Review Title: Pages and pages of recipes |
| Date Reviewed: February 14, 2009 |
I downloaded and then opened the dessert book originally to see if I could find some cupcake recipes.
What I did find were 434 pages of recipes -- mainly sweets pies with a few cakes interspersed. The downside of looking through the PDF was that there was no index which would have been helpful especially when you come across an "Impossible.....Pie". I decided to use the word document to find what I was looking for. But it was not there. Having the word file means you can redesign the ebook yourself so I would recommend an index as a start.
I did take a look at the other files and found the chocolate recipes have featured before in a previous download.
The Cat Head Biscuits was intriguing. While I actually thought I’d be looking at a whole lot of cat food recipes I found this to be the most delightful little book compiled by two Southern ladies and anything but cat food. It is interspersed with helpful tips and I found a couple that I’m going to use right away.
I didn't know you could find enough chicken wing recipes to fill 110 pages but there you have it!
It's apparent that the books are a collection of different author's receipes and some tweaking may be necessary. A good collection for a recipe site.

I came across this product by accident. I had been looking for financial product but this only came up when I used the keyword 'success' -- mixed in amoungst internet marketing, article marketing and the like.
It is relatively well written but a lot of use of 'so' to start sentences. It is worth re-writing and tweaking the language. It has a some helpful tips for people who are finding times hard at present. The basic strategies of finance are sound. |

| Review Title: Article Ideas a Great Tool |
| Date Reviewed: June 04, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Lyn Bell |
This software has made article writing so much easier. It helps you to create unique content and gives you the ideas to fill your article.
So how does it work? Well, there's a video to watch but it's easy to operate anyway. You put your keyword phrase in the required box and press 'go'. What could be easier? The software then searches the top 100 Google sites for that keyword phrase and downloads the text of one paragraph.
There's a tab that shows the website reference if you want to quote from an article, use material that requires acknowledging, or refer to the full article for more information.
The only hassel is that it doesn't seem to work well when you have other applications open. It can freeze and slow other things down. I find it best to let it do its work when I'm busy doing other things and not on the computer.
Another thing is that I couldn't get anything when I used the subtopic keyword. Perhaps I did something wrong.
All in all a very useful tool. |

There is a 5 page e-book on how to set up your call centre. A couple of recomendations for Angela:
1. remind the reader that they will need to check into Spype to receive the messages from buyers...or perhaps Skype sends a message to let you know that someone called? I don't know...
2. There is a very big HTML code for copying and pasting but it would be useful to show the reader what it will look like on their site.

This e-book is a collection of articles by a number of people on different techniques to get traffic and links. The content page lists the 30 tips and each of these are written about more fully within the e-book pages.
Make sure you read the articles and not just gloss over the list of tips as there are gems within, and you may even add some new tools to your current knowledge base. The articles themselves are step by step instructions. Perhaps some of you will know many of the techniques but you’re sure to find something new or some new twist to an old method.
There are some valuable new pointers and I’ve implemented a couple of things myself. This is a great reference book to come back to again and again... just to make sure you are covering all your bases.

I'm not sure why someone only gave this a one star as I think it deserves better. It does have useful resources many of which I haven't heard of. And there's a comment on each.
Dave obviously gets something as an affilate to some of the products but there's nothing wrong with that. However I couldn't find a note anywhere to that effect and think he should add a comment.
There are links to products that have a cost where you can get them free but Dave covers why he has done this in the begining pages.
I do think the title is a bit misleading though. But overall I don't mind having it available to refer to. |

The licence doesn't cover whether you can change content but has a Word document enclosed...does that make it ok? |
