Global Cash Flow Network

I started a website with Global Cash Flow Network. They have a ready-made website but I can't really change much on the front page other than adding banners, links, pages and changing the Amazon stores to suit my needs. But for someone looking to make money on the internet without knowing what to do, this isn't a bad way to go.

GCFN also provides training to become a Certified Media Placement Specialist. This is included with the website package. This instruction manual is an easy to follow, step-by-step marketing plan on how to create advertising and where to place it to generate traffic to the website. More traffic means more business which means more sales. You can't sell anything if no one is visiting your website. This marketing plan will work with any business.

I just started over a month and a half ago, and I have learned how to make business cards, place a news release, free classified ads, electronic signatures, emailings (friends and opt-in, no spam!), publishing correspondence, targeted traffic generation, NewsGroups, writing articles, and doing mailers.

Currently, I'm studying pay-per-click advertising, such as Google Adwords. As well as Global's instruction manual, I also purchased Google Massacre and Google Snatch. All three manuals have step-by-step instructions on how to create ads that pull in traffic without breaking your bank account. I haven't started my campaign yet, so I can't testify as to whether that statement is true or not. But it sounds good on paper!

Beginning Thoughts

Hi to all,

Welcome to the Best 1 Stop Shopping blog. I started this more to keep my thoughts together rather than on post-it notes scattered around my desk and office space. Never fails, can't find what I'm looking for when I need it.

I can already see that this blog will be a hodge-podge of thoughts, running lists of what I'm doing, what I need to do, and eventually, helpful articles. So come by for some ideas, give some tips of your own, or just watch my sanity slip away into madness.
