How to cash US dollar cheques in the UK

I have had some cheques sent to me in US dollars and asked if I could bank it in directly without a charge. It seems Halifax will charge £14 and Barclays is free except they will use a very unfavourable exchange rate.

Another option is to open a USD account at Citibank who will bank in your US dollar cheques for free. They offer both current account or savings account and you can have both sterling or USD accounts.

If you have signed up to any US affiliate programmes like Clickbank, they pay you by cheque until you qualify for direct payments into your bank account. So if you are planning this as one of your sources of passive income, be prepared and look for a way of dealing with the deluge of cheques without wasting too much of your hard earned money on fees.

Another alternative I found is Auctionchex which will swap your USD cheque for a Sterling one for a small fee. This company grew up on the back of ebay but have now turned into a great resource for UK affiliate marketers.

 
Am still looking for some alternatives to these options so if you know any, do add a comment below. Thanks.

Frank Kern’s Infomillionaire Giveaway

Before Christmas Frank Kern and Trey Smith launched their Infomillionaire program which is the program that Frank used to teach Trey to make over $3m. They ran out in 4 hours.

Infomillionaire covers how to do affiliate marketing, to creating your own products and how to get affiliates to help you promote your product. It is a perfect blueprint for a newbie to follow and it is simple and achievable.

It is another variation of a newbie course but Frank does it in his own inimitable way. They do have a couple of new ideas and some very cool software that they developed that helped them propel themselves into the stratosphere.

This might not technically be a free giveaway as it is a forced continuity program but you can get the whole training manual, dvd with training videos, etc for just the postage price. Then you have the choice to cancel or carry on.I’ve looked at it and there are some good ideas which I will add to what I already know. Plus I love new tools, so the Ninja cloaking tool was a sweet bonus.

Try it out  – Infomillionaire.

Don’t waste your money buying Arbitrage Conspiracy

I just received a great email from Jerry West one of the faculty at Stompernet and he gave his honest opinion on the Arbitrage Conspiracy product as he was there at their recent presentation in Vegas. I have reproduced it below as I think it is important to share this:

If you don’t know Jerry, he is a super affiliate and is one of the smartest marketers out there. He regularly gives great content and very cutting edge strategies in the Stomper faculty calls and try to attend every on. He walks the walk and he really knows what he is talking about, no BS. I am very excited about his upcoming FREE CPA course as I know it will be yet another great money making strategy. BTW, what he says in this email is exactly what his opinion was in the Stomper forums and faculty calls.

I was going to keep quiet about this, but with all the emails going out about “The Arbitrage Conspiracy” … and how their “cart” is opening today at 3pm, well, it is time that someone who was actually there talks honestly about the program.

I will be giving my FULL review in my FREE newsletter later this week, so make sure you are signed up. You can go to:

http://www.webmarketingnow.com/ and the sign-up box is in the upper right hand corner.

Here is the brief review:

DON’T BUY THE COURSE!!!

Don’t get sucked into the hype. It isn’t real. I was there and I walked out after 40 minutes because the material was very basic. I even talked to many people (other solid CPA marketers) who stayed for the entire presentation and they said there wasn’t anything new, it was all recycled material from past systems.

If you want to really know how the CPA (Cost Per Action) market works and the DARK side of it, I will be coming out with a free course by the end of the year. No strings attached. I feel that passionate about this. This is another “launch” that over 90% of the people who sign-up will fail because it does not meet the expectations the marketing message created.

CPA is a tough business and you can lose your shirt if you don’t fully understand it.

Protect yourself. Bypass this offer and save yourself not only money, but a mountain of frustration.

So sign up for his newsletter and wait for his free course. Save your money to spend on other more worthwhile endevours.However, if you are still going to buy this, do share your reasons why – besides the obvious “I’d like to make $100k a day ” or ” I have loads of money to burn”.

It’s not too late for you to grab more than your fair share of the Holiday Shopping Traffic, and make tons of affiliate sales…. or even sell your own products.

Here’s what I’m talking about:

Jeff Johnson, who is a super affiliate and one of my internet marketing coaches, just posted a quick video on his blog that reveals…

1. How to quickly and easily tap into the tons of free holiday shopping traffic and earn huge commissions… you can even get started today… it’s not too late.

2. Even without Jeff’s special “triple your click-rates” wordpress theme layout… you could still see a 62.9% increase in ad revenue… just watch the video to see how.

3. How Jeff generated 100k in affiliate commissions in the last few weeks… and how you could too… just follow his simple advice in the video.

Visit Jeff’s blog and watch his new video.

It’s totally low-key and you don’t need to optin or anything to watch it; just click the play button.

Here’s Jeff’s “Grab Some Holiday Shopping Traffic” video: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/
Enjoy!

P.S.

The websites in Jeff’s new video are built using his special SEO Blog Software.

The ultimate SEO education – proven

In my opinion, the Stompernet guys are the best educators in Internet Marketing and I can say that as I have been a member for a year and I have had like a full college education on

Search Engine Optimization
Internet Marketing,
PPC
Affiliate Marketing
Articles Marketing
Social Media
Web2.0

to name a few.

I am now learning about Branding from Ben Mack and how to double my business with Paul Lemberg’s Formula 5 training. All cutting edge super amazing stuff. This is not all, every week on the closed door faculty calls, the ever knowledgable faculty spills the beans on all their strategies to help you in your business.

The Stomper doors are usually closed but now you can access some of that accumulated wisdom with a very reasonably priced magazine called the net effect and with that you get Stomping the Search Engines for free. This is their definitive course on SEO and if you are an Internet Marketer, you can only benefit from the tactics that you will learn from these videos. Highly recommended. A lot of Stompers were really upset that they are letting outsiders have this information for free as it has given the Stompers an edge over the competition. If you are serious about your internet business, you need to get STSE2 and study it. You get this with a subscription to the Net Effect Magazine and the STSE2 comes as a free gift. That is a seriously good deal. The Net Effect Magazine is simple the must have Internet Marketing magazine out there. Keeps you in touch with what’s the new new thing on the net.

Check out STSE2 and see your web traffic multiply. It is super powerful.
