Is it really possible? How can you make so much money in one night?

Step 1. You need a fast website. This is how to make a TON of money in a short amount of time. The entire Internet moves at the speed of light because that’s the speed of fiber-optic communication. It doesn’t get faster than that. Communication is so fast now, the entire stock market can crash in a few seconds–word travels fast!

Step 2. Because of step 1, the rules of sales and marketing change every night. That’s right–everything you knew about sales and marketing yesterday is over and done with. Poof–it’s gone!

Step 3. Your website needs TONS of visitors. To get TONS of visitors you need to go VIRAL. To go viral you MUST ask an impossible question. Why? Because if the answer was easy to answer, Yahoo Answers or Wikipedia would have the answer already! As you know, those two websites will ALWAYS show up before your website in the search engines!

Step 4. To go viral, your website also needs anonymous comments. Why? Because entering a username and password TAKES TIME. These days, NOBODY HAS TIME TO WASTE. To break it down: anonymity plus speed plus spontaneity equals interaction. More interaction means more money.

Step 5. You need a way to monetize all that interaction, FAST! Credit cards are slow–finding your wallet, entering all the numbers, the expiration date, the verification code, etc. Do you know what’s faster? Advertising! Advertising is so fast, I make a profit as soon as this page loads–almost instantly! Even if you didn’t notice the advertisements!

Step 6. You need a video! Why? Because reading takes time and effort. See a pattern here? People are lazy and in a hurry.

That’s it! Now go and make some MILLIONS tonight!

Social Media Business Product Landscape Series

Tweetomatic Profiteer makes a good first impression. The design says to me, “With this site you’re going to have fun making money with Twitter.” The gears and “-omatic” name suggest using “tools” of the trade. The wink in the eye of the blue Twitter bird suggests a secret. So maybe there’s a proprietary tool here? Further reinforcement: the title says “Our…Twitter Software.” So right away we’re expecting a unique tool for sale.

The tour doesn’t scroll very far–it’s just about one page depending on your resolution. I think this gives you time and attention to take in the video. To me, that’s innovative. The price is visible right at the top of the page with a satisfaction guarantee. This tells me the seller is confident the price is right.

Video controls are visible–this is useful if you want to review something you missed. Or if you get hungry and need a sandwich, there’s the option to press pause and you’re not missing everything. This is important, because the tour has an annoying Javascript popup. With Facebook Ads Guide, each time I clicked “Reload” to restart the video I’d get an annoying popup.

Summary of the free video:

1. Marketing technique to supplement your income.
2. Secret, inside tricks.
3. It’s within your reach.
4. Too many gurus. How to find the good information?
5. Frustration with failure.
6. Digital Divide stuff.
7. Twitter is fun and addicting.
8. Cost of advertising is rising. Corporate fat cats.
9. Affiliate marketing links.
10. Size of ClickBank.
11. Success of Twitter methods.
12. Screenshots of ClickBank revenue.
13. Software automates profits.
14. Tweetomatic screenshots.

From the video screenshot of Tweetomatic, it looks like this app uses Twitter API to tweet ClickBank affiliate links–but no specific details beyond that.

It’s a fairly good idea because Twitter and ClickBank are both very large systems with lots of engaged users. Very few Twitter users know all about ClickBank and very view ClickBank users know all about Twitter.

As you know from school, when two waves meet you get some interesting interactions here and there. Look at this diagram. Imagine “Source 1″ is Twitter and “Source 2″ is Clickbank:

The blue dots are potentially where you make sales–where you connect the two communities with minimum sales pressure and/or maximum impact, depending on how you look at it.

If Tweetomatic Profiteer gets you some sales, let us know–leave a comment!

I was planning to move on to the next product but now I feel it’s important to juice my first video more.

First, I realized I didn’t explain in much detail what I was doing in the last video. What was I doing?

If you found it hard to follow my last video, you’re possibly recognizing a technology gap between where you are and where I am. That’s OK. If you’re getting everything I’m saying, even better. Granted, I’m not the best orator but that’s a different story.

I recommend you keep listening, even if it’s not making sense. Your subconscious will absorb more information than you’re aware of right now. I’m going to explain everything in more detail in future videos and you can always ask me a question if there’s something you don’t understand.

This isn’t just about you and me. The Internet has greatly accelerated knowledge acquisition and transfer. Call it the build-measure-learn loop or the social media merry-go-round, it doesn’t matter. Basically, the largest transfer of wealth in history is unravelling and recalibrating right before your eyes.

Otherwise known as the Digital Divide. This isn’t just about people who can’t afford Internet access. The real Digital Divide is like this:

Side A: People aware the future of business is online.
Side B: People that say “Get a life.” whenever you talk about the Internet.

Back to my last video. Either you bought the product or you didn’t.

At this point, I’m not taking you past the point of payment. At this point I’m surveying the landscape of social media business products to get a feel for what’s out there. I’m summarizing product tours. I’m not asking you to buy the product. However, I am asking you what you think.

There are hundreds of social media business products out there right now, maybe thousands. As long as I’m reviewing tours, why not publish the reviews for other people?

Maybe you could hear it in my voice.

I didn’t find the Facebook Ads Guide that interesting. Why? I’m really not that interested in Facebook. Jonathan’s website didn’t change my opinion of Facebook either. That’s something he could work on. That said, he got one thing right. None of us can entirely ignore Facebook because it’s the 800lb gorilla in the room–it’s the largest site on the Internet.

(But you know what happens to giants. They fall.)

Would I buy the Facebook Ads Guide for $1? Maybe. I’d spend a few minutes scanning it. What’s it worth to you? $1? $10? $100? Nothing?

The Facebook Ads Guide is a social media business product I found on ClickBank. This site claims it will teach you to make over $3000 per day running ads on Facebook.

Jonathan Volk says he’s a “Super Affiliate” and he wants to sell you a “Complete Guide” to do this. His site has free video:

The video says he made over $1,000,000 (net profit) running Facebook ads. What do you think? Is this possible? The video is mostly text, and Jonathan talking.

Here’s a summary of the video:

1. He starts out complaining about how difficult it is to make money with Google.
2. He says running Facebook ads is more exciting.
3. He says Facebook has more traffic than Google and the traffic is better targeted.
4. He says you don’t need a website or your own product.

The Facebook Ads Guide is $79. Check out the Facebook Ads Guide and let me know what you think.

Facebook’s goal is to destroy the web as we know it.

Zuckerberg’s vision is no http, no web, no links. His vision is Internet=Facebook. One app that he alone controls, for all devices. No dot-coms, no independent bloggers, no independent web developers, no web designers.

Facebook F8: One graph to rule them all | The Social – CNET News

“We’re going to connect all of those different graphs together to form the Open Graph, and when we connect all of those graphs together, the Web is going to get a whole lot better,” Zuckerberg said.

Maybe better for Zuckerberg. Not the rest of us!

And his vision (to destroy the web) is working.

Look at Facebook’s actions. They open your blog in a frame, with a warning screen. They scrape your content without permission. They censor websites critical of Facebook.

And more and more websites require you to have a Facebook account to login.

They’re leeching traffic off your site with “Like” buttons. “Login to Facebook” and “Connect with Facebook” and “Share with Facebook” and “Subscribe with Facebook” buttons also steal traffic from your website and lower your ad revenue.

So you may see a short-term benefit from using Facebook but you are actually killing your business and your local economy. You’re killing web designers, you’re killing independent bloggers, killing independent developers, killing domain registrars, search engines, Twitter, LinkedIn, and the rest of the Internet.

With Facebook dominating advertising, you’re killing everyone who does business online.

Google creates jobs. Facebook destroys jobs. Facebook is winning!

As Jason Calacanis pointed out, they already have you paying them money to advertise your Facebook fan page. Paying money to Facebook to advertise Facebook!? It’s a black hole for money. The Facebook vision is working.

Jason Calacanis calls for a boycott of Facebook | Alootechie

“People are creating fan pages on Facebook and then paying Facebook to send them traffic. Let me explain this one more time: You’re PAYING Mark Zuckerberg (founder and CEO of Facebook) money to send traffic to HIS SITE. Think about it.

Facebook is a plague. The users don’t understand this is Zuckerberg’s goal. They don’t understand the economic consequences of Zuckerberg’s goal either. They have no concern for how the web works, where it came from or where it’s going.

After reading this comment on TC I decided to check if my Facebook profile was at least deleted from Google:

Facebook: Calacanis Is Lying

I have had the same experience as Calacanis. Deleted account, waited 14 days and suddenly got the welcome back message from FB again. I knew 100% I had not logged in myself, so was really annoyed. Of course emailing FB helpdesk does not help at all. As off today, I still had no idea, and just thought its the extremely lousy lockin policy of FB.

I just tried a Google search “site:Facebook.com my name” and my profile didn’t show up.  However, it turns out Facebook now scrapes my content, without permission. Even worse, the links open my site in a frame.  So if they can’t get my content with permission, they take it without permission?

Fortunately I have a Javascript code that escapes from the frame. Here’s the code if you want to use it:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (top.location != self.location) top.location.replace(self.location);
</script>

Add this code to the top of your website and it protects you from “framer” sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and now Facebook.

Emmanuel, your name is very cool. Thanks for linking to my site from YouTube!
