What happens when someone uses the contact form on your blog or website to send you an email? Most likely, nothing. I’m as guilty as the next person on this one.

But I recently discovered an affiliate program that may just help you to make money from the people who contact you via your site.

A website called JustAnswer will let you place a short form on your website where your visitors can pose questions and get answers. And then you get a cut of the profits.

And having done a little bit of research, it seems that some niche site owners are actually doing pretty well out of it. So imagine this… Someone arrives at your niche site looking for the answer to a question. They struggle to find it on your site and so decide to email you. For example maybe they want to know how to get traffic from Twitter.

They fill in your contact form asking for your advise. As the email is sent of course they will typically be sent to another page which basically says “Thanks for your email - I’ll get back to you”.

But it’s this “thanks” page that you can use to better effect. What if it now said “Thanks for your email. I try to reply to all messages within 48 hours however if you’re in a hurry why not enter your question in the box below for an even faster response?”.

I’m sure you’d agree that a reasonable percentage of people *will* enter their question here, giving you the opportunity of increased revenues from your site.

To find out more about the JustAnswers affiliate program simply click here.

If you’re writing an ebook and need a cover designer then there is an over-growing list of potential designers you can use. Here I would like to list some of the best; and strongly encourage you to add any others you might know if that aren’t listed here by leaving me a message in the comments section at the end.

Just click the link of any designer you like the look of to be taken to their site.

Until recently split testing with Wordpress was a pretty complicated procedure. It was necessary generally to find one of the many standard split testing applications and then through a combination of luck and coding knowledge to make it work with Wordpress.

You see the problem with Wordpress is that while it is very simple to use for everyday tasks, it is surprisingly complicated under the bonnet when you want to make any coding changes to it and so it is recommended that only an expert try such things.

Simply too many people have managed to trash their Wordpress blog by trying to integrate a script with minimal knowledge.

However now there is a new solution which does away with all the coding and puts the power of split testing into anyone’s hands. This is all down to a Wordpress affiliate plugin called WpSplitTester.

What WpSplitTester does is to control a reservoir of affiliate links. You enter in all the different presells, articles, text links and banners that you want to split test, together with where you want to test them, and the plugin then gets to work.

It carefully displays all your split tests over a period of time, paying attention to which adverts get the mosy clicks, which areas of your site get the most clicks and so on.

The end result is that it is now possible to tell which adverts are actually making you money, and which ones aren’t, without needing any knowledge of complicated computer code.

More and more people are now realizing the profit potential of selling an existing, profitable website. Indeed, I myself managed to sell a website for a 5 figure sum last year so a common question that arises is “where can I sell my website?”. Luckily while doing research to sell my own site I did a considerable amount of research so today I’d like to bring you a list of those resources in the hope that they are of use to you.

Anyone who tried to visit this site over the last few months may have had a nasty surprise. Not only has it not been updated in months, but it even stopped working for a while. So how come?

Quite frankly, I was starting to get a little stale. I needed a break from internet marketing to enjoy myself and rediscover my goals and passions. And while it’s taken some time, I feel fantastic now I’m back and I have some pretty big plans (and a few interesting experiments) on the go.

After the popularity of my last post on freelancing sites I will be following up with some more of my own resources in the next month or two. These are posts you are going to want to bookmark because they consist of dozens of my own bookmarks which have taken years to gather so hopefully you will treally benefit from them.

TO make sure you don’t miss out please either subscribe to this blog or my Twitter account and I’ll speak to you soon.
