Sadly, Internet Millions is no longer being updated and I cannot recommend it anymore. I will add a few recommendations in its place as soon as I can.

Internet Millions Review

Internet Millions – A Step By Step Guide To Make A Fortune Online by Ryan Orrell

There are tons of marketing e-books and courses written by guru wannabe's with the promise of making you rich fast. But, none of them guide you and teach you about internet marketing like Ryan Orrell's " Internet Millions."
Ryan Orrell is a true guru. He has been doing internet marketing for the last 8 years and has made lots of money with his websites. He is a super-affiliate marketer who makes online upwards of $40,000 to $70,000 dollars a month and is very knowledgeable on the different aspects of internet marketing. His book will help beginners as well as seasoned marketers.
I have been working at internet marketing for the last two years and even though internet marketing seems easy there are a lot of techniques to learn in order to become successful. If you ever visit some of the internet marketing forums some of the more successful regulars will tell you that becoming successful in internet marketing takes time and it will not happen overnight. I have found this to be true.
A lot of the so-called guru's put out e-books and just spit out the same rhetoric you hear in a lot of the forums. They promise secrets and never deliver. After a lot of these books I became very jaded about finding information that would be useful in helping me improve my business.
I found Ryan Orrell's book by accident. A friend recommended it on a forum I frequent. Unlike the many other websites, trying to sell something, Ryan's website is very sparse. There are no empty promises, no amazing Adsense or Clickbank statements and no photocopied checks with 6 figures.
The beginning of the e-book warns the reader that, “If you’re looking for a get rich quick scheme without doing a little work to make a lot, well,…chances are you’ll never succeed at this or anything else and I recommend you close this book and request a refund now.”
Ryan Orrell's e-book is all meat and no fluff. He starts out with his first chapter for beginners. It covers basic terms like domain names, hosting providers, site builders, intro to blogging, ftp and explains affiliate programs.
Chapter 2 is an in-depth look at affiliate programs and networks. Ryan gives lots of insight on how to find the best program on some of the better affiliate networks.
Chapter 3 explains how to build a website and write "killer ad" copy. He spells out the steps on what you need to make a friendly affiliate website that will get you lot's of clicks.
Chapter 4 explains in detail how to find products that sell. He goes into detail about how great informational products are and how to promote your product effectively.
Chapter 5 is about all aspects of Pay Per Click on both Yahoo and Google. I have never been really successful with Google adwords and I found this chapter extremely helpful.
Chapter 6 makes this e-book a bargain. It is an in-depth chapter that is 40 pages of no fluff Search Engine Optimization. I have read a lot on optimizing websites for better search engine positioning from SEO experts Brad Callen and Michael Wong. Ryan's advice is as good and is written for the internet marketer. In this chapter and a bonus e-book he gives you a solid understanding on how to find keywords and what software both free and paid you need to use. He discusses the proper way to link your pages together so that the search engines find everything on your website. He goes into great detail on linking strategies and acquiring backlinks. He has a few very good techniques. I have come to understand that backlinks are very important to a website. And, having a solid linking strategy like Ryan's is probably the most important and hardest part to the success of your website.
The Final Chapter discusses everything you need to have a successful e-mail marketing campaign. Ryan Orrell again goes into detail about permission based opt-in e-mail marketing. He tells us as other successful marketers that, "the money is in the list!" And, he goes on to explain how to have a successful e-mail campaign. He gives advice on e-mail auto responders and how to use them effectively.
Lastly, Ryan Orrell includes a very informative report on obtaining and using keywords. Keywords are another part of the puzzle that is important to the success of your site and if you use the right keywords, you will get lots of visitors. It is important to use keywords properly. You can't overuse them or you will set off the search engine spam filters. And, if you use the wrong keywords, your site won't be found by the people you intended to market to.
Ryan Orrell's "Internet Millions is a very thorough 150 plus page e-book. It goes into great detail about all you need to be a successful internet marketer. I have read many internet marketers e-books and "Internet Millions" still taught a lot of information that I didn't quite know. I would love to say something bad about this book to balance my review. But, I really can't think of any negative comments to write about. That is how much I really liked this book. Though, if you are not much of a reader, 150 pages could take you a while to read. But, I think it is well worth it.
The only other book that I have read and I liked has been the "Rich Jerk." But, with the attention to detail and the amount of information Ryan Orrell gives, I think "Internet Millions" is currently the best bargain on the internet.
Sadly, Ryan Orrell has stopped publishing his eBook. I have a blog with what I think is a great source for online business.
