- Create your own FREE 3d Ebook Cover
Hi. This is Forest Parks from The Random Forest.
Gavin has kindly allowed me to write a guest post about a new tool / service that I am offering for free.
If you are looking to create your own ebook, info product or software package to give away or sell, then you definitely need a nice graphical representation displayed on your site. A professional 3D representation of your product will help entice people.
Many of you are fine creating your own flat ebook cover. But to give it that professional web 2.0 look is something that seems to confuse many bloggers and marketers. Thus, I decided to create something to make the whole process a lot easier.
This Photoshop CS2 action and template will create a 3D ebook from 2 flat JPG files (one for the cover and one for the spine) in approximately 30 seconds.

- Blogging To The Bank 2.0
I recently read a book that no affiliate marketer should be without. Rob Benwell’s Blogging to the Bank is probably the best affiliate book that I have ever read. If you don’t own the book yet, I definitely recommend that you add this one to your collection.
About the Book
Blogging to the Bank 2.0 teaches affiliate marketing using blogs. You don’t need a product, or a website, just a blog. The book gets into all kinds of things that an affiliate marketer needs to know. It covers traffic building, product selection, niche selection, optimization and more.
What it really gives you is a blueprint for success. It walks you through Rob Benwell’s road to $3497/ day, using the same ideas that he teaches in the book. If you use this book as a guide you will earn its price tag back many times over (usually in a very short period of time). The book also includes some bonus material that, in this case, really is a bonus.

- Thinking In Money - Review
I recently read an affiliate marketing book titled “Thinking in Money”. This particular book is brand new on the market, and I am recommending it to anyone interested in affiliate marketing.
About the Book
After reading the book, I must say it is one of the better affiliate marketing books that I have read. It walks you through many aspects of affiliate sales using clickbank. The book covers Adwords campaigns, how to design landing pages, proper link set up, and more. Being that it is so new on the market, it also covers some of the newest concepts in affiliate product promotion.
What I really like about this particular eBook is the way that it teaches. The authors use real examples from their own campaigns to show you how it’s done. With this approach, you get a real-world walk through of everything the book teaches.

- Web 2.0 Traffic Stampede Review
I recently read a great book for traffic building, using Web 2.0. The book is called Web 2.0 Traffic Stampede and it was written by Chris Freville. If you haven’t read this particular eBook, I highly recommend it.
About the Book
The main reason that I rate this book so highly: to put it simply, the concepts work. I have used some of these techniques before (with great success). If implemented correctly using web 2.0 concepts to build traffic, can be much more successful than other advertising ideas. Best of all, you get more traffic, without spending a dime!
For the most part Traffic Stampede is your typical Web 2.0 book. It goes through some of the concepts and ideas surrounding Web 2.0: blogging, social networking, social bookmarking, syndication, and much more. However, where this book excels compared to others is the info it provides on traffic building using web 2.0 concepts. The book teaches you ways to openly (and subtly) promote products through blog, social networks, ezines, and other web 2.0 methods.
