[The money I have in mind here is the ~$600 I've paid for enrolling in CMPS...half of which I should get refunded within a year once I complete the required checklist of activities. I'm still undecided about the thousands I've invested in the GCFN "guaranteed traffic program" which is "guaranteed" to make money or they re-run my traffic campaign. The advertising cost a bundle...but is not subject to a money-back guarantee, just a "make money or we run it again for you again for free" guarantee.]
The courses and eBooks they have sent me have covered a wide range of advertising and marketing (aka "media placement") techniques for both offline and online use.
So, at last, here is a complete list (as of August 28) of the training topics covered as part of the Certified Media Placement Specialist Program so far. I am led to believe other trainings and e-courses will be provided to me in the future as part of the program.
Frankly, I am already overwhelmed by the content they have given me, and haven't had time to review all of it yet!
Topics covered by CMPS Training & Mentoring materials:
- Affiliate marketing
- Writing Press Releases and Informative Articles in order to drive traffic to your websites
- Email List building
- Building a money-making website
- Social Web 2.0 Marketing (MySpace course)
- Google Adwords Pay-Per-Click advertising
- Making money with Google Adsense
- Blogging & RSS Feeds for profit
- Direct mail/postcard marketing techniques
- Advertising with classified ads (short catchy calls to action)
- Using Banner Ads
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) basics
Nearly every aspect of online marketing and driving traffic to websites is covered in some way. The one notable absence is a tutorial on copywriting, though I am led to believe a course on that will be sent to me at a later stage of my program.
In my next post, I'll list the specific courses and ebooks I've received as a CMPS Student so far.
