I’ve published an article on Qondio about free resources for Internet marketers.

The article lists and links to several online resources that I use regularly.

All are free to use. Some have an professional subscription available, but that is up to the individual whether to go that route or use the freebies.

Free Resources for Internet Marketers

make electricity dontbuy it I’ve published an article on Articles Base about Solar Power Inverters. It complements the various other articles I have had published about alternative energy sources: wind energy, solar energy and magnet motion machines energy.

Magnets 4 Energy DIY magnetic generators may well offer great opportunities for entrepreneurship. As the world struggles to deal with our dwindling oil reserves combined with the need to reduce our reliance on petroleum based energies, interest in alternative energy sources is mushrooming.

What is a Magnetic Motor Generator?
Magnetic motor generators are machines that utilize the inherent force in magnets to produce motion. This motion, in turn, is harnessed to create electrical energy.  Although the machines require a kick start from a battery or some other power source, once initiated, the movement is never ending. Therefore, they have the potential to generate an endless supply of free electricity. Maintenance is minimal; some inventors estimate the magnets themselves will last for a thousand years.

DIY magnetic generators are not available commercially at this time.  There is considerable R&D underway for large industrial magnetic generators; some are expected to launch within the next few months.  However, experts predict it could well be ten years before consumer machines are available commercially, and at a price we can afford.

Magnet Motor Machines for Home Use
Not surprisingly, a number of inventors have produced magnetic generators for home use.  Some claim to be powering their homes with the free electricity they generate, and a few even say they are selling the surplus back to the power grid.

A YouTube search produces several video demonstrations of these various motors.  However, most do not appear to be interested in a commercial application, but instead are interested in displaying their machines to the public and proving their point to sceptics.

This leaves the door wide open for an enterprising entrepreneur to step in and commercialize a magnet motor machine or a ready-to assemble kit.  As things stand now, various DIY magnetic plans are available on the Internet. Some are free; others sell for a nominal fee like the Magnets4Energy plan.

The supplies and equipment to make these machines is readily available in hardware stores and electronic stores. However, some pieces do have to be fabricated in a shop, and some measure of skill with tools is required.

A ready-to-assemble kit would reach greater markets.  DIY magnetic generators and could well become a hot business niche for this decade.

Currently, Magnets4Energy is a highly popular how to guide among those who are interested in building their own magnetic motors.

I’ve just received an email from the Squidoo folks letting me know that my Robbie Burns Day lens has received a Purple Star Award.

Squidoo awards a purple star every week to a lens created by a Giant Squid. No one really understands what they look for in a lens, but it is considered a great honor to receive one.

My Robbie Burns Day lens received 2587 visits in the last seven days. Yesterday was Robbie Burns Day, so traffic will drop off now.

GTRends Assassin launched a couple of days ago. It’s a new affiliate marketing product that builds hundreds and possibly thousands of keyword-rich web pages automatically, based on an analysis of Google Trends.

You feed it your affiliate codes from Amazon and Clickbank (and possibly others programs). The GTrends Assassin script runs automatically, endlessly building web pages based on the latest Google trends. Essentially, its an automatic blogger that churns out more keyword rich pages than you could ever accomplish, even if you worked around the clock.

This scrips needs to be installed on an old domain that you have available, one that has not been performing well but nevertheless is listed in Google.

The publisher anticipates that you will make about $200 a month from each domain that you install it on. You might be able to earn more than $200 — possibly as much as $500, the publisher says, but $200 is a reasonable goal.

It all sounds wonderful — except I can see a few flaws.  The script will build keyword rich pages, true. But these pages will largely be nonsensical and composed of strings of text that the script has analyzed.

It’s only a matter of time until the great Google picks up on this and blocks your domain from the search results.  To keep making money, you will need to be constantly installing your scripts on different domains — and the domains have to be ones that have been around for awhile.  Unless you have tons of old web sites you no longer want, you’re going to be buying domains  from other people.

Not to mention the ethics of spewing tons of garbage web pages into cyberspace.

My prediction: GTrends Assassin will indeed make money for those who use it, but expect to be seeking new domains on an ongoing basis. Each domain will have a short shelf life until Google identifies it and drops it.

I’ve just created a new Squidoo lens in my craft category. It’s a lens called  Valentines Day Gift to Make .

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and according to Wordtracker’s Suggestion Tool, there are plenty of searches about Valentines gifts. I’ve incorporated as many keywords as I can and published the lens.

Magnets 4 Energy I’ve just discovered that many people are looking for free energy plans to built a power generator for home use.

As the planet faces a major challenge in terms of climate warming, which most agree is related to the use of our dwindling supply of fossil fuels, the search is on to find a viable alternate energy source. One possibility being researched is that magnet motors or perpetual motion machines to generate free electricity.

Not surprisingly, many home owners are than a little interested in the potential to harness free electricity. However,  machines that generate free electricity without the use of fuels are not yet available commercially. Some experts predict it may be ten years before these items hit the marketplace and are priced affordably.

Nevertheless, there is still a way to have free home energy. There are guides and plans that instruct people on how to build their own energy generating machines for home use.

A surprisingly large number of people are doing just that. More and more people these days are making their own magnetic motor generators with the help of a good set of energy plans.

Free Energy Plans or Guides

Some inventive and skilled people have created these machines based on their own inspiration and knowledge, combined with a considerable amount of trial and error experimentation.

Some of these people have written a guide or an instruction kit sharing their experiences and revealing what works and what to avoid.  Persons not interested in “starting from scratch” are looking for good, concrete free energy plans that take them through the process, step by step.

Those who want to “re-invent the wheel” will want to create their own plans for one of these free energy magnetic motors. Others, less experimentally minded, are willing to benefit from the knowledge gained by those who have tried and tinkered until they developed a machine that works correctly.

Materials and Equipment

A magnetic motor generator is a simple construction once you know what you are doing. The magnets themselves are the most important item you will need. Once you have your magnets, there are miscellaneous metal parts to be fabricated in your shop or at a commercial shop.

As far as tools go, you need a few simple items that you find in most home tool sheds – a soldering iron, for example, and a multimeter for measuring voltage and currents.

These materials are not difficult for most people to obtain. Your home hardware store is a likely bet, or failing that, you can order online from stores like Tandy, the Source or Radio Shack. A brief internet search will probably reveal the essential materials and equipment that you will use when you build your perpetual motion machine.

Construction

The concept of this alternate energy machine has been around since 2001 when a pair of Australians revealed their magnet motor machine to the public. Since that time, many versions of the generator have surfaced. However, detailed construction plans for the motor are have been harder to locate.

Conspiracy theorists allege that the government and big business are actively suppressing the information. Whether or not this is true is a matter of opinion. Both sides of this debate can put forth interesting arguments. However, conspiracy or not, it does seem apparent that free electricity that is generated without the use of fuels will have far- reaching implications for industry, governments and the public.

However, there are places where you can find such plans.  Typically, they will supply instructions on how to fabricate the various components, how to assemble them as well as detailed wiring diagrams showing the exact configuration of the magnets, coils and rotor.

Investment in Your Future

Plans that work are available, but they are harder to find for free. Anyone who is serious about producing free electricity for home use by constructing one of these machines is wise to invest in a set of plans that will produce the desired results. An investment of time and equipment is required so why not also invest in a plan that is  accurate and starts you out on the right foot?

Some who have built their own free electricity magnetic motors are claiming that they are generating enough electricity to one hundred per cent power their homes. Even better, the power is sustainable, clean energy with no emissions. Not only are they saving money every month, they are helping our planet survive.  For anyone who is handy with tools, the investment in time and money seems likely to pay off many times over.

Magnets4Energy is one such free energy guide that boasts may satisfied users. By free energy guide, I mean that the guide tells you how to build a machine to generate free energy The guide itself is nominally priced.

Squidoo is habit forming. I’ve become quite fascinated with building these lenses. They’re great for backlinks and you can also make some money directly through sales on the lens and through Google Adsense advertising. If you want, you can donate the money to charity — or just publish a lens for the sake of getting the word out about something.

Why not sign up for free and publish a  lens yourself?

I’ve just received notice that I am now a Giant Squid.

Now in case you don’t know what this means, a Giant Squid is honor  given to lensmasters at Squidoo who combine quality and quantity.  You are nominated; the Head Squids inspect the nominees and give the Giant Squid award to those whom they deem worthy.

Squidoo is a content sharing site. You can create articles — known as lenses. The lenses can contain any number of features including text, pictures, videos, blog feeds, polls,  comments, links and much more.  Lenses have the potential to earn money through paid advertisements and through affiliate links. Lensmasters can opt to donate their earnings to charities or have the cash deposited in their Paypal account.

As a Giant Squid, I receive a certain number of perks, including my own custom templates and a few other things. In return, I am expected to be a good Squidoo citizen, help mentor new webmasters and donate a few of my lens earnings to the charities that Squidoo supports.

I’ve been making Squidoo lenses for a few years now. I usually get some cash from them every month, and I enjoy the community.  Not only that, most of my lenses link back to one of my various web sites, so its a good way to build do-follow backlinks. As you know, building backlinks is great for search engine optimization.

Why not check out my Squidoo  Profile and maybe even make a lens of your own?

Qondo is proving to be an excellent vehicle for creating do-follow backlinks to your web sites.

For those who remember, Qondo was born as Qassia about two years ago. The old Qassia had some growing pains, and eventually was reinvented  as Qondo — a similar, but much improved service for those wanting to improve their Google ranking through back links.

Qondo allows you to post original content — or intel, as it is called. Your content must be rated by a certain number of Qondo members before it goes  live.  Some of this intel is showing up on Google’s front page. How cool is that?

The service allows you to include links to your web sites. You can include as many no-follow links as you want in the body of the intel, and one do-follow link at the bottom. One of the new features– revenue sharing — allows you to publish up to five ad slots on each intel. Believe it or not, you get to keep 100% of the revenue generated through your ads. You can use Amazon ads, Commission Junction ads, Share-a-Sale ads, or ads from any other network. You can also use your own ads if you desire.

Qondo has recently added a social networking feature, by which you can follow, bookmark and leave messages for other Qondo members.

At this date, I have published 31 pieces of intel with do-follow  links to my websites. The most recent is Winter Photography: What to do When the Snow is Blue.

If you haven’t tried Qondo, you might want to consider it. If you tried it back when it was Qassia, hey, things have changed a lot. It’s worth another visit.
