and "Google Traffic Pump" which is much better written and more logical. There are inconsistencies in PS's book and a lot not explained.

It is also significantthat he is promoting Jonas's Outsourcing and Jonas is promoting Nano.......

Certainly NOT worth 97 usd. If it DID work as described would be worth a lot more.

Sancho Sanches

GooBert Method and Google Traffic
Pump?

Are these considerably different or
is Nanobloggers type strategy just
a part of the overall strategy of
those two other products?

Thanks.

Chris Thompson

Lots of stuff being said about whether this thing is "worth" the $97 price tag. Newsflash... if you implement it you'll make way more. If you only read it you'll make zero.

If you buy it and think it's garbage, ask for a refund. That's what refund policies are for.

Peter setup a forum and has been REALLY active in there answering tons of questions. So you get more than just some PDF. You get answers to hundreds of the most common questions.

sashas

I think this eBook makes a lot of sense. It leaves a bit left to desired...there aren't enough actual examples of so called 'nanoblogs' in action.

What I gather from this is to use personality marketing along with regular SEO. Like Peter says in the eBook, be the "Perez Hilton" of your market. What this means is putting your face up front and center.

I think a combination of personality marketing, nanoblogging, and traditional SEO can work wonders...will implement it and let you guys know the results within a month

Intrepreneur

I'm still surprised by the amount of Pm's I've been getting on this to provide samples. I have almost completed filtering through my bookmarks so anyone else wanting to see samples ensure to PM me. Try and put nanobloggers in the PM subject so I can find you all easily.

Thanks.

Black Hat Cat

The problem is there are a lot of questions on how to actually implement it. It's long on fluff, but short on detail. If he follows through on his case study though, a lot of questions will be answered. It's just too bad he didn't have it ready from the beginning.

Pete has 24 posts, so he's not THAT active, and I seriously doubt there are answers to 100 questions there, let alone 100s. And by the way, his little bicycle example doesn't add up.

R. C.

Intrepreneur Thanks for looking out for us! Don't forget some of us can receive Pm's but can't send them yet.

BlackH*tCat - I agree it was long on theory and short on example ... but honestly it is not that complicated. I think the whole concept of the twitter trail was a bit confusing and Peter is helping people understand it ... and his "traffic" report that he just added is very helpful.

But if people were to just start DOING this instead of asking all kinds of questions it would suddently become a lot more obvious what the workflow is like.

About 2/3 through the book (or more) he says it all very nicely ... your job is to become the Perez Hilton of your market. You're the cool guy bringing in the news. If you simply DO that and use the Ping.fm / Twitter / other services he mentions then it all makes tons of sense.

End of the day though .. it does not matter if you guys agree or disagree that the content in his manual is good. Not at all. You are protected. Two words. Refund Policy.

Warrior Simon

just a short update, I think a real big difference to other products is that Peter comes across a marketer that really wants you to succeed. so even if there are questions after going through the manual it's only a matter of time to get those questions answered. I trust this guy and I think that is getting rare in the IM world.

what I love about nanoblogging is:
you can forget about PPC, SEO, keywords etc. etc.
it is really relaxing setting up a nanoblogging project!!!

Black Hat Cat

Sounds cool. I think I'll write an ebook telling people that they can make a lot of money trading stocks, but instead of actually showing them how to do it, I'll just tell them it will all become obvious to them if they just go to morningstar.com and figure it out for themselves. That'll be $97.

By the way, you're assuming I didn't "just start doing this". I had a nanoblog up the day after the product came out.


Two more words....wasted time. Let me know when CB figures out how to refund folks for time potentially wasted trying to figure out how to do something that may not work that could be spent on something they know works. See, that's why I buy courses like this.....so I don't have to waste time figuring out how to do things on my own.

If he does the case study, that will help everyone a lot. But I have my doubts he will follow through.

warriorpriv

I agree with your opinion, Black Hat cat

Thank you for your contribution to this discussion.

Chris Thompson

Black Hat Cat ... sorry if my reply seemed at all rude. I didn't intend that. I wasn't making assumptions about you in particular, just in general. People, in general, do ask so many question instead of just doing it.

I honestly thought the explanation was pretty solid in the manual. There were very few questions I had after reading.

AND, I totally agree with you about your wasted time argument. But that's the chance you take with all of this stuff. I always learn something useful.

Intrepreneur

I've sent the samples that I believe to be of relevance to nanoblogging. Although there were a few that were much better examples than what I sent but had forgotten to bookmark them. Hope it helps you all.

I knew Peter a long time ago....well 4 years ago along time in IM. He is a VERY VERY smart Guy who has been involved in lots of stuff some here would look down their noses at. Unless he has changed his No 1 goal was money.Not dog shelters lol.

So he is smart enough to write an incomplete guide with no proof of any results....

Smart enough to generate a huge buzz across several forums...

He's always been good at illicting devotion from a small number of acolytes and disbelief from those who maintain some contact with reality.......

He is very smart revealing a plausible system that must be outsourced in in order to be ramped up....whilst promoting someones outsourcing methods as an affiliate.

Some are missing the point. His SALES approach is refreshing....very different and very appealing.

But unless he is holding back( probably = reason to join a membership site?) he is missing main point..the key to this stuff is automation..but don't make it look like automation.

For example...ping fm.....there's a plug in that will take care of all of that...plug ins for Web 2 integration....SB integration etc.

You cant help but like the book as its well written but lacking in substance.

As always it will lead on to more.......and perhaps better stuff. Again perhaps we can all take a lesson from his approach.

Certainly not worth 97 as it can be summarized in half a page....its a bit of an anomaly...a newbie would be lost after page 2...anyone with an ounce of savy re IM would be asking for a refund at the end.

..and I agree nothing is free, the refund issue is an invalid argument, time is money

Just my 2 cents no dis to Peter S he knows what he is doing....those pimping it well I suppose that's what we do but seriously there are much more productive and logical approaches you could be pushing......pimping a half baked illogical approach will only destroy your credibility and lead to loss of face - what goes around comes around.

Intrepreneur

What a refreshing speech.. all pay heed to this man here.

proveitworks

Read that slowly

He says............

His students? as in who?

I have read it...and goobert and Traffic Pump

If you like this approach try traffic pump......at least there are clear instructions

srandall

Dr. Andy Williams, whom I consider one of the IM smart guys, blurbed about this in his current newsletter.

He said that he bought it and is testing it.

He mentioned he got a couple of good ideas from the manual. What piqued my curiosity is that nanobloggers seems to be antithetical to the good doctor's methodologies and tools.

It will be interesting to find out what he concludes and how, if at all, he implements it.

proveitworks

Complete with affiliate link lol.............

He did mention Dave Tropeano........now HE IS one of the most secretive guys on line who REALLY knows his stuff.

Some other "well known internet marketing experts" ( I wish I could mention them by name but some hang out here) would sell their grandmother for a dollar - a simple rule if you sign up for information from someone and they email you more than once a week unsubscribe...seriously.

srandall

I don't disagree, but, IMO, Dr. Andy is not one of the above. I don't have a problem with an affiliate link - isn't that what we do?

I don't think he hangs out here much or at all. What that says about "him" or "here" is unclear but somewhat ironic, isn't it?

WareTime

Something off the NYT bestseller list would be as well and for a lot less thatn $97.

It's a shovel.

pearsonbrown

Dr Andy is as wise and as honest as they come.

Pearson

warriorpriv

Thank you Mark

proveitworks

Totally agree. Andy knows his stuff and has something most don't have longevity. He monitors, adapts and is not affraid of saying stuff is no longer valid - even some of his own stuff.

Warrior Simon

okay I worked me through the 105 pages and all I can say is: it is WORK to set up a nanoblog. there hasn't been any questions that hasn't been anwered in the manual or in the forum. nanoblogging itself is fun and relaxing, no worries about PPC, SEO, just happy blogging. traffic starts rolling in, let's see if the bucks do as well! ;-)

TampaRay

I thought the course was pretty good. Some basic stuff but a few nuggets that should help. I have seen many products priced much higher than this that were not as informative so I guess the price is relative to your individual experience.

PG_Favors

Hi,

I would like to see the Nanobloggers samples you mentioned. I had to go this route because my post count it not high enough to send PM's. I am more of a visual and kinesthetic learner, so samples would be quite helpful.

Thanks,
Paul

If you want to be successful as an
affiliate I can tell you -

- Write credible reviews.
- Bid on/target buyer keyword phrases
- Be smart, build an optin list.
- Improve your odds with legitimate
cookie stuffing.
- Etc, etc, etc.

Some people would say that putting
that into a product, what is now "common
knowledge", is a ripoff.

First, unless the local baker knows it then
it's not common knowledge - it's something
you know and if you were that smart then
you'd create your own product and build
up enough buzz to sell it.

Second, even if those ingredients are
common knowledge it's the combination
of those ingredients that makes it a
cake or a pile of gunk.

As a pretty experienced affiliate marketer
I found the product full of interesting
and unique ideas. They may not be new
to some people, but they're new to many.

After reading the product - and now
testing it - I promoted it. The lack of a
single refund suggests people are
satisfied with the product and the bonus
I'm offering - and since my bonus hasn't
been delivered yet then I'd have to assume
it's a satisfying product.

So . . .

Before anyone starts giving credibility to
someone who comes on a public forum
and starts talking trash, take a look at
their site listed in their signature and ask
yourself how credible *that* source is.

You'll have to use your own deductive
reasoning on that one.

I endorsed this product. I'm using this
product. And like just about any product
that isn't a piece of software, there is
software that will help you do the job more
efficiently - and there are probably ideas
that would make the product better, which
is only a good thing if you can build on a
good thing.

If you don't have the money to invest in
tools then don't buy a new product - stick
with bum marketing. I pretty much expect
that with *any* online marketing approach
that tools are going to be necessary or
helpful.

It doesn't take tools (except maybe the
Thesis theme) to make this work. And it
doesn't take outsourcing to make it work
either - it's just likely that tools and
outsourcing will make it more efficient and
profitable, if you have the skills to make
the system work - not everyone will.

If there's a hole in this product it's that
the mind map doesn't quite live up to what
it could be - even though that combined
with the manual is exactly what I loved
about it initially. I'm creating my own mind
map that will make it much easier to
actually do.

And the manual jumps around a bit - it's
taken time to put all of the elements together
in one place so that a site can be efficiently
setup without the need to do the process 20
times to understand it.

Anyway - I'm not here to defend Peter but
when people make ignorant statements about
people who are promoting I'm going to put
that **** back where it belongs. You obviously
don't know much about the makeup of this
market.

I'm following a case study on another forum right now.
The guy has put in allot of hard work for little return. But the case study continues. PM me for link.

JordanFrancis

Regarding the case study mentioned above:

Because some guy put in a ton of work, and
got little result, does that mean this product
is bad?

Method, techniques, tools... they're important.
But they all need skill to back them up. That's
the bit that you can't get just from reading a
book. You have to build that one yourself. It's
not a transferable attribute...

MJ Schaefer

Perez Hilton is the ultimate example of a nanoblog.

R. C.

Intrepreneur: I'm one of those members who posted last week about seeing those samples. I was hoping to see some examples before I make a decision of whether to give nanoblogging a try.

Unfortunately I do not have a high enough post count to be able to PM you or include an Email address in my post. Although I might be able to receive PM's. Please take pity on us low post count people and send us the nanoblogger example urls also.

Fingers crossed,

"Another good example of a Nanoblog gone crazy..."

Looks more like a GooBert blog to me.

The mindmap is done. I think he's

But thanks for the resource. I'll
probably share it on the site.

What I try to do is this...

Instead of looking to a single individual to hand me a golden egg, I try to find ways to build my own "golden goose" systems.

Here's how I look at it:

I take the best info that I can, from every knowledgeable source, and then put together the best system for "me".

There are a million & 1 ways to earn a few dollars on the net... but my goal is to find the best avenues for "me", and make them work as efficiently as possible.

While it is true that the "nanobloggers system" does require a different amount of effort than some other systems, in purchasing it, I was able to pull out 2 VERY good pieces of information, that when added to my current system, will give me a "more profitable" system over all.

It's like a mentor once told me... "eat the fish & spit out the bones"

Intrepreneur

Ok so do you still work alone? It sounds like you do...

frugally4u

Yes I do...

I set up "systems" for myself - no ad costs - seo only - and earn my income. It's the way that I have chosen to build things. "Set & Forget"

I take the best of what I learn - and here's the biggie ... "that will apply to my systems" and then test them. If they ADD to the value of the system - they stay - if not - they go

Black Hat Cat

Just a bit of a follow-up. According to the sales page, we were supposed to get Peter's outsourcing blueprint in co-opt with John Jonas after 2 weeks, and a full case study of a working, real life nanobloggers project in week 4. We're closing in on 6 weeks, and neither have been released, nor has the adsense report that Peter promised to members. He was supposed to deliver that week before last(after originally planning to release it on Christmas), but that date came and went just like the others. He also seldom participates in the forum.

Make of this what you will, but at this point, I believe he's full of crap.

Intrepreneur

1 man army.. doesn't it bug you not being part of a team of passionate people?

P.S everyone that bought nanobloggers. I have the answers you all want just can't publish them all here :-)

lexar

Hello Intrepreneur,

I don't have enough posts to be able to send you a private message. Could you send me one with the information? I'd really appreciate it.

Amber Lamps

yes id appreciate the info as well.

Daniel Deegan

Amber Lamps...4chan?..lol

frugally4u

I love gaining input from others - which is why I stated... "I purchase products - then pull out the best bits of info from them - to put together systems that work for me"

I also love being able to work from home & earn money doing what I enjoy!

Black Hat Cat

We've now moved into week 10, and he still hasn't delivered fully on what he is STILL selling on his sales page. I think that might be illegal. He's already moved on to his next product instead of finishing the original one. Just another "pump and dump" specialist it seems.
