Review: Google Snatch 2 – Yay or Nay?

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

There’s obviously a lot of people out there that knows little or nothing about Google, judging by the number of new products that has “Google” in their names. If there comes another product this year with “Google” in it’s name, I think it’s only a matter of time before big G’s lawyer comes a-running. Besides, I’ll probably stop reading mails or sales pages as soon as I see “Google” in it/them.

With that said, I did actually purchase “Google Snatch 2″ despite the quality of the original Google Snatch. Sure, the old one did contain a few gold nuggets, but I expect more from a product with over 100 pages said to contain “no fluff”. It wasn’t the original product I promised to review though, but the new and updated v2.

Google Snatch 2 is close to 150 pages, and the first thing I noticed which was (and is) driving me mad is the half empty pages. Placing a couple of paragraphs in the same chapter on separate pages of their own seems like a pre-sell thing for me (ie. the salespage claims a big page-count, when 25% of the pages doesn’t contain more than a paragraph or two).

Now, you might wonder why I seem so obsessed with such an unimportant tiny detail? Well, to tell you truth it’s mainly to make sure I have atleast one thing to complain about. Because this ebook is actually quite good.

You get a couple of really useful bonuses with the purchase as well, such as a number of blueprints and mind maps to help you follow through the various methods, step by step, exactly the way they are supposed to be done. “The Free Click Formula” and “Free Targeted Traffic” contain decent material, although they are aimed at newbies, and the mind maps can be really useful.

The first chapter goes through the basics of IM and affiliate marketing, and are followed by a number of chapters going into more detail on the various aspects of marketing online, such as Blogging, Social Networking, Video and Audio marketing, classified ads etc. It’s the perfect introduction and crash course on Internet Marketing for any newcomer wanting to learn more about making their first couple of bucks online. The knowledge gained in this product will have you in the game for a long time, and makes it easier to digest information in other, more advanced products.

As usual, if you are a seasoned veteran, this could quite possibly be a waste of money for you. I picked up a couple of things that I had forgotten, and I have to say that the list of “web 2.0″-sites for you to work your magic made the purchase worth it for me. If this list was sold separately on it’s own, I would’ve picked it up instantly.

All in all, if you are anything from a newbie to semi advanced this product will be a great addition to your arsenal, and the blueprints and mindmaps will be really helpful. If you are a seasoned veteran or consider yourself an advanced marketer I seriously doubt the few nuggets you will pick up would justify the price. Luckily there’s always the refund option if you don’t like it.

Here’s a GREAT resource for your multimedia needs!

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I’ve recently been involved in several multimedia-centered projects (no, not in the IM-scene where people still think links in flash-videos is new and hot), and I’ve attended several online and offline courses to learn Adobe Flash and others in order to accomplish what I needed done. I like doing things myself, but I also know that I do not have unlimited time on my hands. My normal route when I can’t do a part of a project myself is to go to a freelance site, hire someone to do it and hope for the best.

I found a better and cheaper way a while back though…

A couple of days ago I talked to a friend and colleague, who had just seen a glimpse of one of the multimedia projects I’ve been working on, and he wanted to know how I made a couple of the elements I used. I told him I didn’t have a clue how they were made. “I purchased them” – “Wow! They must have cost you a fortune!” – “No. The most expensive of the elements cost me $9″. He was amazed and wanted to know where I found them (these were audio- and video-effects I used in a Flash-video). I was even more amazed that he hadn’t heard of this site before!

It’s an amazing resource when you need royalty-free multimedia elements such as video- and audio-loops, animation effects and filters. They have a service for website-themes and templates, and from what I’ve seen so far it’s it totally rocks!

I’ve been away for a while

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

I’ve gotten a couple of emails asking me about the review I promised to have up a couple of weeks ago, so I figured I might as well explain myself here as well.

I’ve been absent for a while now due to medical conditions, being in and out of the hospital all the time. Due to me not really paying attention to what my doctor said about my new medicines, I managed to mix things up taking the wrong amounts of the new ones and my old ones. I was supposed to lower the dose of the old ones, syncing it with raising the dose of the new ones…

So I got posioned, and for some reason I managed to get an internal infection as well, just to make things even more wonderful :)

I was actually pretty close to not waking up, but luckily other people noticed I started getting worse and forced me to the hospital. The infection is getting better, and I’ve started actually reading the instructions on the medicine boxes :)

With that said, I hope to have the review of Google Snatch 2 up next week.

I hope y’all have a great weekend!
