Facebook is a wonderful tool for both personal and business use. It has many features which allow you to personalize your Facebook experience.

One of the features that allows you to further enjoy Facebook is, Facebook Apps.

Facebook apps are very similar to applications that you would have on your mobile (cell) phone or your computer, there are apps that are games, tools and pretty much everything you could think of.

However most Facebook apps promote themselves by posting to your wall without you having any input. These apps are called “self replicating applications” now like I’ve mentioned, not all apps do this, but the ones that do can be quite annoying to both you and your friends.

There is a simple way to make sure this does not happen though. When you activate and app there is a box that appears that asks if you give permission to the app to do certain things, one of which is to post to your wall, Like so.

To stop the app posting to your wall just click “Don’t Allow” then try to find an app that does the same thing but does not request permission to post to your wall.

Now I know that these apps do these to get more people using their app but there are plenty of apps out there that promote themselves in other ways and I’m sure you could find one to do anything you like without wanting to post to your wall.

I’ve finally realized how much hard work goes into creating a product.

The last couple of months in the office have been non stop hard work, preparing everything for the launch of my Dads latest product, Affiliate Promo Formula. Despite the severe weather we have been having recently in Britain and his car being stuck on the driveway, we have managed to get into the office and carry on working as usual.

I can honestly say I have never seen my Dad put so much hard work into a product and I have no doubt that this is going to be one of, if not the best product he has ever created. This is the first time I have been able to truly see what goes into creating a product and for any of you guys out there who think it is easy, think again. Weeks and weeks of toiling away in front of a computer and a video camera have gone into this awesome product.

Luckily my Dad has two wonderful slaves, oops I mean sons, to help him with stuff such as transcribing audios, creating keynotes and producing videos, Dad has even had Dave Nicholson in on the act who came over to the office and spent a total of at least 45 hours creating graphics for the product.

You’re probably by now wondering what the Affiliate Promo Formula is. Well, it is a complete guide to becoming a super affiliate. It is an eyeopening look at developing a formula for dominating JV leader boards and earning massive affiliate commissions.

I simply cannot stress enough how much time and effort has gone into this product to make it as good as it can possibly be, it is the most-complete affiliate training package out there and is perfect for experts and beginners alike. Even if you do not have a mailing list Dad has got that covered.

The Affiliate Promo Formula launches on the 14th of December and as long as you’re on one of Dad’s list you’ll be sure to hear about it.

Just in case you didn’t know, my Dad covers everything he knows about creating a product in his Masterclass Program and he actually created Affiliate Promo Formula right in front of his students eyes.

Until Next Time,

Today I’m writing this blog post in the office on my brand new iMac, as you have probably guessed already my Dad and I are big fans of Apple products and considering we use computers everyday why not use an Apple computer. Its just a shame Apple don’t make tea kettles

Now Following on in my general theme of Apple based posts I’d like to share with you their latest revelation, which my Dad seems to think doesn’t fit with their normal marketing genius. Apple have announced launches of FOUR brand new products, yes that’s right FOUR. A new iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch and Apple TV all at the same time. Now your probably wondering why my Dad thinks this is a bad thing, maybe it’s because he was telling me this after he had been out for a drink and a curry with Lee McIntyre and Dave Nicholson and was slightly drunk

Or maybe, just maybe he actually knows what he is talking about, but anyway he said, and I agree with him if I am honest, that Apple, and anyone for that matter, could make a lot more money by launching these products at separate times, for example if you are a bit of a connoisseur of technology you would most likely be interested in all of these releases. Therefore, if Apple first released the new iPod Shuffle (cheapest) and you bought it and then they released the new iPod Nano, a more expensive but considerably better iPod, the chances are you would be interested in purchasing one, unless that’s just me but you can see where I’m going with this, I know if had multiple good products I have just created I would want to launch them separately:

1. Because the chances are I would make more money from separate launches.
2. Because then people would see I have successfully created more than one product over a longer period of time.

So again, this is something else I have learned simply by observing how a big company goes about its business, so keep your eyes open as you never know what lessons you may may come across.

Until next time.

P.S. On a final note Apple are a mega huge company and they know what they are doing but I still feel they made a mistake with this one.
