We have the distinct pleasure to announce that our newest Affiliate Spotlight winner is none other than Brian Johnson!

Brian Johnson is a successful internet marketer who recently released an important –nay, indispensable – product called “Commission Ritual” which gives valuable SEO strategies to all marketers, newbies and advanced alike. In fact, Brian’s strategies work so well that we recently hosted a few webinars with him.

If you go to our Facebook Fan Page and click on the box titled “Affiliate Spotlight” you can read a bit about Brian and get his views on Micro Niche Finder and internet marketing.

On our Facebook Fan Page, we have added a new feature called “Affiliate Spotlight”. Basically, we are finding and highlighting affiliates of ours that are advertising Micro Niche Finder in innovative and successful ways. We ask them a few questions, get their perspective on internet and affiliate marketing, and sometimes convince them to spill a secret (or two) about their most effective strategies.

We are excited to announce that our inaugural affiliate spotlight is an über-successful marketer hailing from Clarksville, Tennessee named Gary Conn!

You may have already heard about him. He’s kind of a big deal.

To read what he has to say about his experience with internet marketing, affiliate programs, and Micro Niche Finder, go to our Facebook Fan Page, and click on the box that says “Affiliate Spotlight” (it’s on the left hand column, under our ‘fans’ box).

We will be updating our Affiliate Spotlight regularly, so be sure to check it out every now and then. Furthermore, if you feel you deserve to be highlighted on our affiliate spotlight, leave a comment on this blog, send a tweet, leave a comment on our Facebook page, etc. and tell us why we should consider you!

For some internet marketers, acquiring massive amounts of data is a necessary step to launching their next great product or idea. The acquisition and organization of this data can be a very time-consuming undertaking, so time-saving shortcuts are always appreciated. In Google Labs a new development called Google Fusion Tables can be used to expedite the data-sorting process.

Google Fusion Tables takes data stored in the cloud and manages it while focusing on its collaborative aspects such as data integration from multiple sources. Fusion Tables also allows groups to discuss the data, visualize the data, edit the data, and even publish the data in an easy way.

Most data systems are based on SQL queries, but Fusion Table is not. For those that don’t know SQL, this new Fusion table is unbelievably convenient. You upload your data using the Fusion Table into the great cloud and then you have the option of either keeping your data private, sharing the data with your collaborators, or making your data public for world consumption. Should you find yourself working with sensitive data, you can choose to filter or hide data from your team or you can let your collaborators have full access to the data.

When you or your collaborators edit the data it will be updated automatically so that everyone remains on the same page. You can even discuss data and Google Fusion can keep save these conversations so that the progression of the data is documented.

Google Fusion Conversation

If you need to export the data and its correlating sets, you can export it from the cloud into a basic CSV file.

Google Fusion Tables is best suited for combining data from multiple sources because it utilizes refined forms of join capabilities.

Fusion Tables - Multiple Sources

 There are many tools to filter and aggregate your data in a dynamic way. For instance, you can arrange it to show on Google Maps or other kinds Google Visualization API.

Google Fusion Labs - Visualization Possibility

This is a free tool, but it is still in its beginning stages so expect inevitable changes. In order to utilize Google Fusion Tables, all you need is a Google/Gmail account. It is still in the Labs phase so feel free to experiment with it and give Google your feedback about this new feature.

We recently released our newest software called “The Ultimate PLR Article Collection“. We have mentioned the importance of PLR articles in the past, but now we have made it incredibly simple for you to find PLR articles to suit your needs.

The Ultimate PLR Article Collection contains a whopping 29,768 articles for you to use however you see fit. You can edit them, combine them, use them as content on your blog or website, create backlinks with them, make eBooks out of them and sell them for profit…the choices are yours to make.

Once you have purchased The Ultimate PLR Article Collection, you will be able to immediately start using the software to its full advantage. We have preset categories you can search through, or you can type in specific keywords and the software will display all related articles and you can peruse through those results. You can search for articles by Title, Content, Category, Subcategories, and Word Count. Much like Micro Niche Finder, you can then save the articles that interest you into “Projects” and manage your various projects with ease.

When you save several articles as a Project, you can load these articles onto the grid (it’s an option listed under the “Projects” button) and create an eBook with the eBook creator. The eBook Wizard will walk you through the steps, including adding a Title Page and adding a Table of Contents. Once your eBook is created you can continue to edit it or convert it to a .PDF. This is all easily done with the eBook creator found in The Ultimate PLR Article Collection.

If a particular article catches your eye, you can double click on that article to read it in a window that will automatically pop-up. From here you can alter the article - you can edit the content, change the appearance, add your author information, and even spin the article so that it creates multiple variations of the article. With minimal tweaking, you can make all of these PLR articles uniquely your own.

We are hosting an upcoming webinar that will help you develop your own network of mini sites that rank within days in the search engines. It’s called the “3 Hour Profit Plan”, and its simple but effective formula will allow many people to reach their Online Income goals in 2010.

Did I happen to mention this webinar is FREE?  It’s simply too informative and too useful to miss.

The details for this webinar are as follows:

Date:  Tuesday Jan. 5th at 7:00 PM EDT

System Requirements: For PC-based attendees: Windows® 2000, XP
   Home, XP Pro, 2003 Server, Vista.
   For Macintosh®-based attendees: Mac OS® X 10.4 (Tiger®) or newer.

Our office will be closed from Dec 24 - Dec 27 for the Christmas Holiday and Dec 31 - Jan 3 for the New Years Holiday.   Support will check in periodically for any emergency support issues.    If you have an issue that can not wait until after the holidays you can submit a support ticket at http://www.jamesjonessupport.com/help/ and someone will answer you as soon as possible.

Thank you and Happy Holidays from the entire Micro Niche Finder and Niche Informant team.

At the top of this blog you will notice there is a new tab called “User Comments”. If you click on it, you will see a list of comments and feedback submitted to us by Micro Niche Finder users.

If you have a comment that you want to share with us about Micro Niche Finder (good or bad it matters not - we REALLY just want your honest opinion!) there are a number of ways to let us know - twitter, this blog, our facebook fan page (if that link doesn’t work, search us on facebook: MicroNicheFinder), our knowledgebase - but we take a random sampling of client testimonials from the Micro Niche Finder software and put them on the User Comments page on this blog.

On the right side of the main screen of your Micro Niche Finder software you will see a tab titled “Client Testimonials”.

Client Testimonials on Micro Niche Finder

If you want to leave a comment for us and other Micro Niche Finder users to see, click on the text that says “Click here to add your own Micro Niche Finder testimonial”.

You will then see a screen that asks you to fill in some information:

Client Testimonials - add your URL

You will notice that there is an option for you to fill in your web URL. If your testimonial includes your URL and it should find its way onto our “User Comments” section of this blog (let me reiterate: it’s a random sampling taken periodically) you will then have a valuable one-way backlink from us pointing straight to your website! This is a win-win situation - we get valuable feedback and you would get more traffic and a backlink!

Lest there be any confusion, Client Testimonials is NOT the place to receive support from us. If you ever have a question or concern that needs customer support, the best place to go is either to our knowledgebase or read previous postings on this blog. If you accidentally use the Client Testimonial from the software’s main page to submit a query, it will be given the lowest priority.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Publishing ebooks that you have rights to is a great way to earn extra income. With the intoriduction of Amazon’s kindle, ebooks have become an extremely popular commodity.

Obviously uploading your ebooks onto Amazon’s Kindle via their DTP platform is essential. The Kindle is currently the most popular e-reader in the world and your ebooks won’t be sellable if you do not upload them onto Amazon’s Kindle store! If nothing else, make sure to upload your ebooks here.

Luckily, other businesses have seen the soaring popularity and success of the Kindle and are creating their own e-readers and platforms to support e-books. If you are a person with ebooks to sell, this is an amazing opportunity to make more money using the same material over and over (and over and over and over…) again. There is nothing preventing you from uploading your ebooks onto other websites or platforms, so the more places you upload your material the greater your chances of making profits!

Besides Amazon, you can go to http://www.tradebit.com/ . You have to register with the website to upload your material (don’t worry, it’s free!) and once you go through the simple registration process you can upload your ebooks for free. The uploading process is very simple. If you are already familiar with uploading onto Kindle you will find uploading onto tradebit to be very similar. Once you log into your tradebit account, you will see there is a “Upload New” tab - select “Documents/eBooks” and you will have some information to fill in, including “Title of Mall Listing” (just type in the title of your ebook), Description Text (highly recommend typing a synopsis of what your ebook has to offer), Price and Currency, etc. Make sure to clarify what currency you wish to use, because unlike Amazon Kindle ebooks (which are sold only in the US currently) tradebit can be sold worldwide. This is a huge advantage tradebit has over Kindle, so if you upload your information on tradebit in addition to Kindle your target market expands from people living in the US to people living anywhere in the world.

The most time consuming route is to create your own website that sells your own ebooks, but on a positive note you will have total and complete control over your material. The process is way to detailed to entail here, other than you would need your own website, this website would need to be optimized (hey, Micro Niche Finder is great for that!), and you would have a the capabilities to accept payment (many people like Clickbank, although Paypal can be used too). It’s a lot of work (especially if you have never done this before) but the profits would be 100% yours. There are many people who do this process VERY successfully, but be forewarned that it’s not a set-and-forget process.

There are more options for ebooks being developed - Barnes & Nobles Nook instantly comes to mind. Sony Reader and Iliad are two other ways to upload ebooks, although their popularity and usability aren’t nearly as popular as Kindle or tradebit just yet, and Google is rumored to be developing an e-book platform. There will be more e-readers coming into existence in the near future, this much is certain; and  when these avenues are fully developed we will explore them further.
