I have a bit of an apology to make. I may have been a little over zealous when I promoted Market Samurai last week. As Dennis pointed out in his comment:

This is not a put down but an observation, so please don’t take offense…I think you’re taking a big chance on trust going for the sale BEFORE the posts on features and benefits.

I totally agree Dennis, I guess since I already use the product – that I know how fantastic it is, but for someone who has never heard of the product, it may seem like I was trying to thrust the product down your throat.

Now, I hope you do take advantage of the Market Samurai discount, but so that you can have a better understand of the benefits of using the software, I want to start doing some free keyword analysis right here – and I want you to give me the niche (so I don’t just pick the easy ones!

What’s In It For You?

What I want is for you to start throwing me niche suggestions in the comments below.

This could be the:

• Current Niche of Your Blog
• A Niche You Are Looking To Enter
• Or Just A Niche That You Think Will Stump Me And Prove That Market Samurai Doesn’t Really Work!

What Will I Provide?

Using the Market Samurai software, I will:

• Find A Series Of Long-Tail Keywords Related To The Niche
• All The Data On Those Keywords You Will Ever Need
• The Process And Criteria That I Use To Select Keywords That Will Drive Traffic

So hit me up with your niche suggestions and I will choose one from the list ( or maybe even let your guys decide) and create and post the keyword analysis over the weekend – posting it early next week!

The one product that I would call my ‘find of 2009′ was Market Samurai.

If you have no idea what Market Samurai is, it is a fantastic all-round keyword research tool that has some of the best features (so many that I haven’t even had a chance to look into them all), that will help you pinpoint target keywords that not only have traffic, but also have low search competition.

The one thing I absolutely love about Market Samurai is that I can do all the keyword analysis for my Australian blogs and find all the information I need based on Australian searches (and you can do the same for your country!).

Now I know I promised a Market Samurai discount in the post title, and I am not going to disappoint.

I plan on going into some of the features of this fantastic product in upcoming posts – and even am in the process of working out a weekly post that will highlight the capabilities, but today I want to show you how you can get a Market Samurai discount!

How To Get Your Market Samurai Discount

Now if you visit the Market Samurai website, they do kind of dodge the whole price question and focus on how you can get free access to the keyword analysis program.

However you will notice that they say Market Samurai is ‘valued at $149′ and in fact if you click the ‘full version’ tab on their homepage and order the program, you will be charged $149 – which I still believe to be amazing value. But why pay $149 when you can pay $97?

The process of getting your Market Samurai discount is quite simple and if you are familiar with the internet marketing process and the squeeze sale concept you may have already guessed it – but for those of you who have not, here is how it works.

When you sign up for a trial of something, you show and interest. And in an effort to capitalise on that interest the internet marketers will offer you a time-limited offer that will hopefully encourage you to purchase their product.

So In Market Samurai’s Case…

1. Sign Up For A Trial Of Their Software
2. You Are Offered The Opportunity To Purchase At $97 ($52 Savings!)
3. You Have 12 Days To Take Advantage Or The Price Rises Back To $149.

It is a really good marketing strategy, and one that has worked extremely well for them. So if you are considering purchasing Market Samurai – don’t pay full price!

I found out about these ebooks from Tom at BuildThatList.com.

To thank him can I recommend you subscribe to his blog or download his free squeeze pages?

Jason Fladlien is one very smart internet marketer.

You see, pretty much every website I visit that is selling an information product always focus on trying to grab your email – subscribing you to their list.

They always offer you an ebook or ‘leaked first chapter’ to try and convince you. But Jason does things a little bit differently.

He still does the ebooks, but you don’t have to opt into an email list and he gives you the actual PDF link on his page.

Now don’t get me wrong, he is still marketing his products, he just decided to put a few links in each ebook to his products – and you can decide whether you want to learn more about them or not. However, he does not fill his ebooks with links – there are actually some fantastic tips in them (so I decided to share a few of my favourites with you!).

So let’s get straight into the free internet marketing ebooks.

The Great Article Marketing Hoax

Jason writes about a few methods that you should consider instead of just writing articles for EzineArticles. Has a few great ideas (one that was making him $40 an hour).

The Case Against Video Sales Letters

With the recent increase in video sales letters and squeeze pages, this is a timely reminder to to just do things just because everyone else is.

Instant Action On Info

In what seems counter product to the sale of his products, this free ebook actually looks at how people spend too much time studying information products and not enough time acting on them. If you struggle with productivity, you may want to consider checking this one out.

One of my good blogging friends, Jim (from The NetFool.com) has just let me know about an amazing offer he has over at his blog.

In fact, I put on hold a blog post I was working on just to let you know!

Now What Is The Catch?

As always nothing is free, but this is pretty close. All you have to do is sign up to HostGator through his link (so he get’s an affiliate commission) and you get all of that free! (View TheNetFool.com Post)

HostGator is a fantastic host, and has been my host for over 2 years now! So I cannot recommend them more, and the last time I was an affiliate of them I got $50 for each referral – so I really have no idea how Jim is doing this! All I can say is that if you are looking for new hosting, or planning a new blog – you should really take advantage of Jim’s generosity (cause I’m sure the offer wont last long!)
