Google Red Carpet?

I have been a member of this program for around two months. I have learned a hell of a lot about Google News, and E. Brian Rose (the owner) has helped us a lot. He really knows his stuff.

Google News is a dynamic program, so it is important to keep on top of it, as the changes can make a big difference if you are not keeping up with them. As a member of this program, we are able to stay in touch with these programs as EBR has a couple of contacts who work for Google News and speaks with them frequently.

I got to say, of all the items I have acquired in my IM quest, this is the best I have got. I have stopped bothering with all the other programs I tried. Now I just concentrate on this.

Google News hmmmm. I am also thinking to have a site approved by google news. It really an awesome idea.

I think the bigger question (for me at least) is how long do the sites REMAIN on the Google's front page?

I'm thinking of buying it thru Jim Cockrum's blog. Jim throws in a couple bonuses - solid bonuses. Google 'Jim Cockrum blog'. There's a 2 hr webinar there. I've seen it twice and I've done some due diligence. I have asked Jim, a couple of days ago, about an anti Google Red Carpet complaint and Jim has answered.

This is not a get rich program. This is work. You are going to have to write news articles (rewrite) or have written (my choice) on a daily basis.

Your articles may stay up on the first page of GN for a few hours, a day or two, or a week or more. It will depend on the niche and the amount of other news in this niche, and how many people click on your article. Google will keep you there if your article is popular, so titles are very important.

If you want a way to make a regular income stream, and don't mind putting in some regular work, this could very well be your ticket. You can outsource most of it, once you know what you are doing. I outsourced the writing right away, cuz my writing sucks.

One fellow I have become friends with (an Aussie) told me he was doing an average of $1,500 a week from AdSense. And there are at least five or six more ways to monetize this platform. E. Brian goes into great detail on monetizing.

What happens if you don't do it daily, but every couple days?

I mean really, some industries are less "news heavy" than others...no?

Would Google just remove you from the approval list even tho your quality is great? Seems odd...

This is such an interesting angle on things - it's quite a unique approach. So, I researched this a little and it sounds like you need to have a sitemap.xml or some other way for Google to find you and your stories. Is this something that Wordpress does for you automatically or is it something that you would need to create code for? I've created sitemaps before but only as one-offs with online tools, not automatically on a continual basis.

Tina - thanks for all the info. Do you know his user name on here so that I can contact him?

Its starting to sound less like an "online business" and more of an online "job" either in managing writers or writing the content yourself...daily.

EBR mentioned in a recent webinar the process can be completely automated...but it's starting to sound like even getting it to a point of automation may be quick the battle too...anyone able to comment on the actual amount of "time investment" a person should reasonably expect to make?

I'd really like to create a news site as a service to local businesses in my area, but perhaps my time would be more effective without it (if its a major time hog)

Dunno... =S

Hello Dexx,

I feel you on that.

I am thinking...that if it is work you like to then it is not so much work.

The other thing is that you don't have to worry over lots of people disturbing the method.

I do think that you are right...with the amount of work required, it does not necessarily seem like an integration strategy.

I am not sure that I want to give this to a VA or not; but some people are.

I think is a strategy that you integrate other things into; and not the other way around.

Good thoughts, Bro.

never heard of google redcarpet, if i need news, i simply go to google news or googles youtube channel, fullof great and recent updates on google

Like someone stated previously. The Number 1 marketer on IM Report Card Jim Cockrum is endorsing it. I think there is something to it.

Thank you for the very detailed clarification JF =)

Has anyone reviewed the 2 systems?

Out of principle I would go with Brian, but... results are the bottom line.

I latched onto Brian's original WSO ebook and knew it was a winner.
I also got into the gredcarpet forum but the subscription got cancelled and I received an email that I was cancelled and could not get in but would have to probably pay the full amount now to get in

I had a wso that was building these sites for $67 and then I upped the price a bit when the demand was too much, so far I ended up building about 30+ of these sites.

Most were done on the available templates for wordpress and then later on I started shifting to more custom designs.

The subject of this thread is whether the access is worth it for gredcarpet. My answer to this is Yes/No.

Yes - because I know of a site that has been valued at $5m for a Google News site that was set up by a one one band.

No - If you can not do it right! Seriously please do not pump your money in if you can not get the work done. A lot of abuse has gone into these sites and Google are refusing the sites fast and hard, in order to succeed you have to do it right.

Brian does give the tools to get it done right but in my personal opinion you have to either spend more energy in creating your own content or pay to outsource the articles and not just pay for the course. But Brian does make it clear that that you should either do the work yourself or outsource.

So it is not one of those over night money makers, but it is a money maker. You could strike it lucky and build one site and get a massive turnaround for it in a month, this can happen; but I would urge people to be more realistic.

I am in the build of 4 of these sites for myself. I am attempting to get it all right from custom themes, plugins, CDN [content delivery network], paying up to $8 a single article. In fact I am treating it like a serious business.

I hear someone saying that they can get it all done in 35 hours and flip for $50,000, good on you. Since I am now pumping a hell of money and a lot of time into my builds maybe I can expect more

I would love to show you one of the examples, but I can not risk it.

If this goes my way the way I intend, then I will be buying Brian a Mercedes AMG [I love this car with its gimmick]. I would have offered to buy you a bentley [A friend just offered my with £14,000 off original pricing] but I drove the v12 6 litre beast for a week and it killed my pocket on petrol. You can see my brother driving it here whilst I filmed him:

Would like to check out this program. It's interesting how it can provide income without requiring you to post daily.

I never believe in miracle software - because either it doesn't work or it works for a little while but then people adjust to block it or deny it access to function or if it works, then everyone starts using it and it stops being unique and special.

I have found the answers to whether this is what I am looking for in this thread and here
30 Minute PR Blog Archive The Hook Vs. The Reality: Google News Publisher Pitch Exposed. [Part I]

My opinion; This system will be an intense commitment in time + money to implement and maintain. The webinar pitch for Friday 10/1/10 had me hooked until I studied the subject here in the warrior forum and above site.

Hi Gabriel!

I know I'm a little late in writing this review, but if you haven't bought it, you still have time to think about it! I bought it and I must say that the whole method is saturated. There are very few chances that this course will help you get to page one of Google. That is what the course promises. It lets you make a Google news site where you can publish "news" tailored to the products you would like to promote. In the past, you could do so but Google has now become very rigorous about it and checks each and every Google news source site that is newly created.

I tried to create a Google news site by joining Brian E. Rose's course but I couldn't make it for different reasons. I followed step-by-step instructions that the course provides but still wasn't successful. What I'm trying to say is that you might be lucky to get through but the question is: Is it worth spending $199 when you are not even sure if you can make it or not?

I spent that amount which also had a 30-day-money-back guarantee. I bought it on August 7th and asked for a refund on September 4th, but I still haven't seen the money. Can you believe it? I PMed Brian E. Rose dozens of times. I sent him e-mails but no luck. The feedback has been ZERO until now and I'm not the only one. However, it's up to you to decide!

The course itself is a how to get approved course, basically. There are other aspects to it, but that is basically it. Anyone who has been in Internet Marketing for very long knows that you are going to have to tweek the strategy. The lesson here is instructive to something else within IM that is more disturbing and that is a factory mindset to an information age business.

In other words, the fact that we are looking for formulas in the first place, when it is creativity that really sells is the tragedy....not E. Brian Rose. All formulas are short lived in this age; it is not product innovation that matters, it is value innovation (see "The Blue Ocean Strategy"). Most of our 'formulas' focus on how to innovate the process of inputs to delivery; not on how to innovate the experience of the client, visitor or customer.

So what happens is that something works for a while but because it wasn't the value to the customer that was made to be innovative, that customer loses interest and moves on (and then is called fickled by marketers-lol). Fancy that....customers want a valuable experience before they will return with their attention.

IM as is practiced is always on the ropes because it practices the same assumption that the industrial age did. That you could manipulate inputs in such a way that you could continually make money on scale. Regardless of what your solution is, if it depends on this factory mentality it is short lived and will eventually stop working.

I think I will stop here and just post my whole thought to my blog. Suffice it to say that Google News is a viable strategy and worth the work if you are enhancing the value to a visitor. If you are not, it is short lived. But we ought not be so sanctimonious about Rose or Shaffer promoting this product.

If you want to know what 'Gurus' do, you can see it in this. They 'do' the information age, but 'sell' the industrial age. The industrial age sells because in the words of Seth Godin, it allows us to work at something, shut our brain off, and (hopefully) get compensated. Those that buy and don't work at it and tweek move on to the next product. Those who innovate the process for their buyers make money and move on to the next product.

So regardless of who it is, if your product is says "follow my blueprint" you are selling the industrial age. Candidly that is most of what i see anyway; and moreover, we ought not sit in judgment over E. Brian Rose (no I don't know him personally).

If you are worried that the method will be saturated, you have missed the point because providing value to the end user will never be saturated. And if Google tightens the reigns and makes others work for it, all the better for those who have every intention of using it as an integrative strategy.

I recently got my Gnews approved last week.. generating very good traffic I think... however I am making near $0... $1 or $2 daily on Adsense, and $0 on affiliates.
I have a 10% CTR on my affiliates but still 0 sales (5 days of testing so far). My affiliate links are at the bottom of the news article, with text links only and trying to target the demographics of each post. My adsense is also at the bottom of each news article

- Am I too late to profit from Gnews site? Or is it just hype and bs and there is really no $$ to be made?
- If there is $$ to be made.. can I get 2 or 3 tips on how to monetize on this?

I am posting daily, targeted news articles based on my own criteria which is bringing a good amount of traffic. (500 - 2000 visits daily) <-- I think this is good traffic.. whats your opinion?

Thank you.

Has anyone made $1K a day with this yet?
