Wanna know a secret? I love Fiverr!

I love me some Fiverr.
I’ll admit it.
There’s just too dang many plates I have to keep in the air to keep this business humming along, and you need some help sometimes. Even with partners, you find yourself scrambling to get tasks done.
Moreover, I want to work on my business, and not necessarily in it. Done that for far too long.
So now as an integral part of my organization I regularly outsource necessary but time-consuming (or tasks that I’m simply not good at, or don’t like to do!) to outside providers!
We have guys who work for us regularly on the big stuff, but the small tasks, you know; the ones that many people can do I look to microworker sites. Of course the granddaddy of these is Fiverr.
You can find people to do almost anything there. I mean, seriously, you’ll be amazed!
If you’ve never been there, by all means go check it out! You’ll be amazed at what you can get done for a mere $5. Use the search box liberally, for specific tasks, and you won’t be disappointed!
If you find the whole thing a tad overwhelming, here’s a great resource that breaks down the best Fiverr providers into the types of tasks they perform, saving you a boatload of time searching it out!
It’s called Fiverr All Stars, and if you plan to outsource any marketing tasks to Fiverr, this will keep a lot of the hair in your head!
You’ll thank me later!

Get high rankings for difficult pages!
I like learning from smart people. And for better or worse, there are lots smarter than me!
One of these is Rand Fishkin over at SEOMoz.
In this short video he goes over what you need to do to rank content that’s sometimes very hard to rank: good info but needs to draw readers into action. Take a look!
Want to ride the Kindle Publishing Phenomenon?
Cover via Amazon
Here’s a bald fact:
People are making a killing on Kindle!
I wish I’d gotten to the party sooner, but I’m leaping in full force now! There’s just too dang much money to be made.
The very cool thing about Kindle publishing is that it’s very easy to set up. Once the book is written, (and that doesn’t have to be a monster ordeal either!) I was able to upload and make my books live in around 30 minutes!
Go check out one of mine, The Backlinks Book!
One of the more attractive aspects of selling on Kindle is that Amazon does a LOT of the marketing for you! You do need to have your ducks in a very neatly ordered row, though, to make that happen, but when it does, traffic chaos can ensue!
Kindle publishing is one of my top priorities this year. My next WSO will also be published on Kindle, later this month!
There’s a boatload of guides and products out there showing you how to make this Kindle thing work, and I’ve got practically all of them. The best one I can recommend is Kindling by Geoff Shaw. In part I like it because he’s committed to ongoing training, and continual updates. Check it out if you need any help!

Marketing on Facebook has a new textbook!
Finally; A Facebook resource from someone who knows what they’re talking about!
Seems like we’ve been assaulted every other day for the last several years with course after course of “Facebook Marketing Advice”, and the truth is, precious little of it has much if any worth.
Now I can say with a lot of relief that I finally found one that I can recommend to my clients.
Lewis Howes (of LinkedIn fame) and Amy Porterfield, who is the co-author of “Facebook Marketing All in One For Dummies” and in this video she show you how simple it is to harness the power of Facebook for your marketing needs.
With close to 1 Billion members on Facebook there is no question this is the best place online to get more leads, traffic, and sales.
Check out this video! If you’ve got it in your mind at all to utilize Facebook in 2012, then you need to see this!
Come back and tell me what you think!
