John Merrick

So for those of you who have known me for a while will know that I have been working tirelessly in the background for years building sites and making others look pretty, whilst also working a full time job.

Well What you may not know is that from 1st May 2009 I went full time online, that’s right I quit the 9-5 and now I’m now living the dream!

So in order to mark this momentous occasion I’m going to kill two birds with one stone – Brand good old John Merrick and to celebrate my entry into being full time online by launching my first solo site. So I’m proud to introduce you to Social Bookmarking Exposed

It’s no secret that Web 2.0 tactics such as Social Bookmarking, Social Networking and Tagging have taken the Internet by storm
recently.

One of the main reasons for the success of Web 2.0 is that all of these tactics are loved by the search engines. Because of this you will be getting relevant, targeted traffic to your site. This will lead to your website’s rankings skyrocketing in no time at all, and with very little effort on your part.

I have also updated the book to include and focus a little on the current Twitter craze and when you join the site you can grab a copy of my report on the “12 Secret Tips For Twitter Success” which is a detailed and easy to follow step-by-step guide on how to set up and use Twitter.

Instant Banner Creator is the third in the every increasing portfolio of sites I co-own with Søren Jordansen. Its a site that allows you to create banners, buttons, headers, footers etc graphics with a very simple point and click 1-2-3 system.

The site is a Web 2.0 site using latest technologies such as Ajax and JQuery. It is loaded with tons of graphics in each catergory and if thats not enough then you can upload your own to work on. Its free to join and We will even host your graphics for you. You can keep your images on our servers for as long as you want. No charge. No need to FTP, download, upload or anything like that. But of course you can also download a copy to your computer if you so wish.

I have to tell you right off the bat, Søren Jordansen’s Internet Marketing Success Formula knocked me for a loop when I got a preview on his free 41 page e-book. So when he asked me to provide the programming for the downline builder and PDF re branding for it I jumped at the chance.

IM Success Formula is bursting at the seams with useful information Soren gleamed from his own experience and, more importantly, from conducting scientific surveys of internet marketers. Everything, and I mean everything, is covered from choosing a web host, building a squeeze page, monetizing the list building process, how to set up a profit pulling email series and what types of affiliate programs convert the best while creating the trust and creditability.

Tweet My Blog was my second co-owned site with Søren Jordansen. It was designed to capture the emerging Twitter interest in the IM world and allow a way to post Tweet’s informing followers of new blog posts.

We have been using Twitter to drive traffic to our blogs for quite some time and it works like a charm. You simply post a “tweet” when you have updated your blog, and all you friends, followers and admirers will be instantly notified… *bang* that’s instant traffic back to your blog. And even better, people can reply to your tweet, their followers can see their reply… and before you know it you have a viral stream of traffic back to your blog.

Thats why we create the simple yet super powerful WordPress plugin that would automatically integrate with Twitter with your blog. You can see it running in my side bar —>

Floating action button is one of a few sites I co-own with Søren Jordansen. It was born out of an idea one drunken evening at a seminar where I first meet Søren in person. Essentially it allows you to create buttons, optin forms, etc that “float” on your page and are always there ready for your potential customers to act on.

How often have you read a sales letter that you were genuinely interested and then closed the page before you got to the order button? Yes it happens more often than we want to know. Many of your potential customers are leaving your page every day, before they even reach the order button.

The same is true for your optin forms. You may have the fanciest lead capture pop up known to man. But what happens when your visitors close the pop up? Who says they want to optin when they first hit the page and not when they have read 2/3 of your content?

The simple fact is that you don’t know at which point a potential customer or subscriber decides to take action. So wouldn’t it be nice if your order button and optin forms were always in the right place at the right time – always ready to grab your prospects at the exact moment they decide to take action?
