Best of the links
Here’s a roundup of interesting topics and links from last week. Time permitting, I will make this a weekly post
1) Niche Widget by Terry Perdew
This is a plug-in for your website or blog that generates attractive scrolling ads that are targeted based on the subject of your site. According to Terry, Niche Widget is already available in a wide range of topics, with more to follow soon
You make money either by referrals or purchases via your affilate id. Commissions vary from 50% to 100% depending on your membership level, and you also make money when your referrals make sales of their own
The site includes testimonials from some big names including Willie Crawford, may of which refer to the simplicity of installing and configuring Niche Widget
2) I spotted a great post at Dosh Dosh blog on How To Become An Authority In Your Niche. This is especially relevant for my new blog as I’m still deciding which niche to target. Click here to read the full post

3) A couple of useful free videos on Automatic eBay Auction Income by Jeff Mulligan at Quickie Profits. The videos discuss becoming an eBay/Commission Junction affiliate and using your affiliate id to create simple sales pages on our favourite niches.
The pages are dynamically generated using code from eBay’s Editor Kit, and you receive commissions either from active eBay sign-ups or from sales made via your affiliate id

4) Free Tax Benefits Guide by Joel Comm. You need to opt-in to receive this guide, which gives a good basic understanding of the types of expenditure that can be offset against profits to reduce your tax liability when you become a successful Internet Marketer, or indeed any home-based small business owner. The guide is obviously written from a US perspective but many of the general principles apply more widely. As always, you should consult a tax professional before making decisions regarding treatment of specific items of income or expenditure.
Note that there is also a MLM element to receiving this report, whereby you can promote it and drive sign-ups into your downline on selected Joel Comm products
