Earn $30k Per Month with Instant Online Profits?

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. It’s a philosophy that works on so many levels and it definitely applies to the world of making money online. At the same time, you have to recognize that the Internet is constantly evolving and you have to adapt with it if you want to earn the big bucks. You should hedge your bets, so to speak, so that you can continue to make money if one strategy or another happens not to pay off.


And that leads us to today’s review. We’ll be taking a look at Instant Online Profits by Alexander Shelton. He claims that he is able to earn over $30,000 a month with just a few simple clicks of the mouse, leaving himself with that much valued “time freedom” to enjoy a true dot com lifestyle. Is he for real? Let’s have a look.


Passive Income Is the Way to Go


When you go to the main page for Instant Online Profits, you aren’t exactly told very much about what it is that he’s promoting and how it works. Instead, you are greeted with an autoplay video.



The video talks about how the average American doesn’t expect to retire until the age of 67, but you want to live your life right now. As you scroll down, you’ll see that the package being offered is multi-faceted, including access to an HD training centre, 12 months of live coaching, a mobile app, lifetime software updates, and full access to a 24-hour support desk. That all sounds well and good, but what is this mythical strategy that will have you earning upwards to $1,000 a day?


A Network of Affiliate Sites


The main idea behind Instant Online Profits is that you generate a number of smaller sites that can run themselves on auto-pilot. You monetize them with affiliate links and let the money roll in.



Of course, it’s not quite that simple. What Shelton is offering is a money-making system that is comprised of several pieces of software. The key here is that he has automated much of the process so you don’t have to deal with the crucial, but mundane tasks that are necessary for launching money-making websites. He’s made it so that it all happens with a few clicks of the mouse.


One-Click Creation with Profit Influx


It starts with software called Profit Influx, which operates within the WordPress framework.



When you install this software, you are able to generate brand new websites in only a couple of clicks. You buy the domain, you choose your industry, you enter a few keywords, and you select the affiliate products that you want to promote. Shelton uses the Amazon Associates program, largely because it has the largest library of products. The software is then able to generate a site automatically using these settings.


Here is an example:



While there are several manual settings that you can adjust as you see fit, Shelton recommends using the automated process just because it is both easier and faster. Each individual website, according to Shelton, can earn you a few hundred dollars in affiliate commissions a month. You rinse and repeat the process with other $10 domains and that’s pretty much it.


There is also a video training suite, a network for backlinks and other perks. Some are optional add-ons, while others are included.


How Much Does It Cost?


Since I am not able to run a long-term case study with Instant Online Profits, I can’t say just how profitable this system can be. I also can’t speak to any miraculously unique features, because it looks like the “system” isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel. We’ve seen this idea before, but we’ve also learn that the old adage of “if you build it, they will come” doesn’t really work in an automatic fashion. You have to put in the work and, even then, it might not work out.


The good news is that Instant Online Profits is very reasonably priced at just $49. That’s a pretty small price to pay to see if this really can generate a five figure monthly income for you, especially since it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

Rank Tracker Supports Personalized Results Too

The Internet is constantly evolving, Google keeps changing its rules, and search engine optimization has to keep adapting. When we first looked at SEO PowerSuite two years ago, it looked like a pretty powerful software suite that would help to get your site to the top of the search engines. Last year, they updated the reports and added some new features.


More recently, Link-Assistant has added a new feature to Rank Tracker, which is one of the four main programs included in SEO PowerSuite. Not only has the software been redesigned, but it also comes with the new ability to check personalized search results. Let’s get down to today’s review and have a look at how it all works.


Revisiting Rank Tracker


If you’ve read my previous reviews of SEO PowerSuite, then you are likely already familiar with Rank Tracker. Even so, I think it’s worthwhile to offer a quick refresher.



The idea with this tool is that you can track the ranking of your website for your list of chosen keywords or keyword phrases. This way, you’re not hunting for your website through dozens of search result pages. What’s more, you’re able to track your ranking across multiple search engines and see the kind of progress that you are making over time. It works with Google, as well as Bing, Yahoo, Dogpile, Excite and more.


Setting Up Your Ranking Projects


Now, let’s have a look at the software itself. I’m reviewing the version for Windows PCs, but I imagine the user interface and overall experience will be very similar with the Mac and Linux versions too.



After installing the Rank Tracker software and entering your registration key, you are then treated to a blank slate. Creating a project consists of a few quick steps. First, you enter the domain that you would like to track; I used MichaelKwan.com in my example. Next, you select the search engines that you would like to use. These can be changed after a project is created too. And then, you enter the keywords that you would like to monitor. You can enter multiple keywords (one on each line) and Rank Tracker will track them all.



Rank Tracker will then go through and see how your website (domain) ranks for the different keywords in each of the search engines that you selected. The results are presented in a simple table form with a separate column for each search engine. Naturally, you can manage multiple projects (one for each domain) and track your ranking progress with the graph at the bottom half of the software.


Now Personalized Search Results Too


The new feature recently added to Rank Tracker is the ability to track personalized Google results. Why does this matter? The thing is that your search engine ranking is not universal. It also has to factor in location, language, search history and a user’s custom settings.


You might rank first for your keyword when someone searches using Google in New York in an English language browser, but you could be buried on the 10th page of results if someone searches using Bing in Hong Kong with a Chinese language browser. These differences matter and Rank Tracker lets you track how your site ranks on Google for real users.



These “advanced settings” are easily accessed from within the software, under the Preferences menu. If you go to Preferred Search Engines and hover your mouse over Google, a green “plus” symbol appears. Clicking on that brings up the advanced settings shown above.


Using this hypothetical example, let’s say that the user is currently in Australia, but their browser is set for results from Canada with French language settings (perhaps he or she is from Quebec). This is pretty specific, but you can get even more precise by naming a city and adjusting the SafeSearch filter level.


How Much Does It Cost?


As mentioned earlier, search engine optimization is constantly changing and your tactics oftentimes have to change with them. It’s good to see that Link Assistant is keeping up with its updates and the inclusion of personalized search results in Rank Tracker is a definite plus.


Rank Tracker Professional, which is “perfect for website owners and webmasters,” sells for $99.75 and includes free lifetime updates and free professional support. The Enterprise license “for professional optimizers and SEO companies” is $249.75. Alternatively, either version can be purchased as part of the more comprehensive SEO PowerSuite bundle.
