If you're ever on the lookout for PHP scripts that are written by a professional programmer, for online marketers, that don't cost the earth, you could do a lot worse than to visit www.robertplank.com.
Robert is an absolute wizard at writing PHP scripts that do the job simply without any complicated installation procedures or setup.
He also knows a thing or two about online marketing. He's very modest about it, but he could put a lot of "professional" internet marketers to shame.
Robert's scripts are very often sold on a "nickel sale" principle; They start off at an extremely low price (very often just $0.05) and the price goes up by 5 cents after each sale. So it pays to be on his mailing lists so that you hear about his new releases as soon as possible.
His website also has some free scripts to offer, so it's worth checking out anyway.

Great new alternative to ClickBank
To the affiliate marketer, ClickBank is a real boon. Just sign up to get a free account and you can start selling any one of the 6000 or so (and rising) products currently being sold through the ClickBank marketplace.
One of my major gripes with ClickBank though, is that they pay out the money using cheques (checks). This costs ClickBank money, and it costs me money. It's also a very slow process.
A great new alternative for vendors and affiliate marketers alike is Click2Sell.
They do everything that ClickBank does, and then some.
The greatest part for me is that they will pay revenue directly into my PayPal account.
A very useful difference is that they are not limited to digital products as ClickBank are. Anyone selling anything, whether it's a digital product, a service or a physical product can do it via Click2Sell.
At Click2Sell, affiliate marketing network it costs you nothing:
There's also a great feature about Click2Sell that means you can make money without selling anything!
There are nearly 500 products to choose from (at time of writing), and the number is growing every day.

Revenue Sharing
One of the upcoming stars in the online marketing world is Revenue Sharing, and I am getting involved with it right from the beginning.
How does it work?
Well, you've seen all those Ads by Google and various other advertising blocks on websites. They all earn money for the site owner.
But what if the site is an article site? Much of the content is contributed by other people. They get links back to their own site on every article they submit, so it's a fair exchange. This becomes even more important as the article site gains ground and earns itself a high Google PageRank.
The problem is that there are so many article sites out there, which one do you choose? Some colleagues and I have come up with a solution to that dilemma.
We share the revenue earned from ads placed on our site with the authors.
Every time their article is viewed, the ads displayed alongside it belong to the author; not to the site owner. So if that author writes popular articles, they'll get more views and therefore, more ad exposure.
We will be charging a small fee for each post that the author makes, but that money will be used to promote the website, and bring the articles more traffic.
Furthermore, authors will be offered the ability to automatically generate and send a newsletter based on their own articles to their subscribers. So it doesn't just bring in advertising revenue; it builds a list as well.
We'll be launching very soon.
I'll keep you posted...
