Learn Danish with Pimsleur Danish Language Courses

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Danish is a language with a special and very friendly sound, just as are the Danish people. When you’re visiting Denmark, be it for business or for pleasure, the Danish will appreciate your Danish language skills, even it’s only a few phrases. In my experience it does not really matter if you speak a language well. Simply the fact that you tried and that you have gone through the trouble of spending time learning a few words and phrases opens up doors wide that might otherwise not open at all.

Most people in Denmark understand and speak also the English and German language, but they will highly appreciate your Danish language skills! So why not give it a few hours and listen to the Pimsleur Danish Compact Course. It contains five hours of spoken Danish language practice in ten 30-minute lessons, and also contains a booklet and the User’s Guide to introduce you to the Pimsleur Method.

The Pimsleur method was devised by the well known language educator Dr Paul Pimsleur. His language courses provide the listener with a comprehensive, self instructional, step-by-step guide on how to learn a new language. You will love the fast progress you make when learning Danish! The Pimsleur approach is so effective because it is based on tried and tested techniques and principles that have proved to enable rapid and successful language learning.

Here’s a download link where you can grab your Pimsleur Danish Compact Course anytime.

Monetizing Your Blog’s Book-List And Book Reviews For Your Favourite Charity (Fundraising With Blogs)

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Many bloggers who like to read establish book lists. Regularly for year’s end, sometimes they also make a so called TBR list (to be read)at the beginning of the year.During the year book reviews are published by avid readers and book lovers.

Fundraising is difficult and many Charities have a hard time to get enough funds to keep operating. Here is a way how bloggers can help their charity raise funds:

If you have a charity you are supporting, or if you feel that a worthy cause should get some money, you should not overlook the potential of your blog. By adding an affiliate link for the purchase of the books you list, you will generate a commission, that you then can pass on to the Charity of your choice (or keep to travel somewhere, buy the whole family ice cream, or whatever else you wanted to do, but did not have the money to pay for).

How does it work? Sign up for the affiliate program! If you are no thinking of Amazon - they are books after all, then wait! There are programs that pay much better than Amanzon!

The AudioBookscorner.com affiliate program for downloadable audio books pays bloggers with an active blog 15% commission of the customer’s entire purchase he makes when he comes from your link. And the visitor gets a cookie that stays with him for 30 days. So if he does not buy immediately and returns later, or if he buys and then buys again a second or third time, even if this time he does not come from your link, the sale is still yours, the cookie identifies this customer as coming from your link initially!

This affiliate program does not work for bloggers only, webmasters are earning money also with audio books :

You could also build small specialized audio book stores with the program. This is especially effective, if you build a small website and make a book list for specific authors and their works. Add a few details about the author and his books, add your own opinion. Every audio book you mention needs to be linked with your affiliate link, so that if somebody clicks they are brought to the page where they can buy.

To promote this specialized site you do what you do all the time: You fire up your blog and review one book per day. In your post, you add one affiliate link directly and you also add a link to your small bookstore specialized site, which is preferably on an other domain (can be a free site or you get yourself an other domain name to do this). This also works if you have your blog and the specialized website on the same domain.
If you mention in your posts that the proceedings from the affiliate commissions go to xyz charity, you can be sure people will help you raise money!

If you are interested, but are a bit overhelmed by these explanations, shoot me an email to rolf # nospam # at # audiobookscorner # . # com - you’ll know how to recompose the address so it works (the nospam part nees to be removed too). I’ll be happy to help you build a few pages and links so that you can go and do it yourself once you see how this works and fits together.

Why let good traffic go to waste, if you could funnel some money to a good cause?

Looking forward to sending you your affiliate commissions!

Plenty of New York Times Bestseller authors have audio books published, so if you lack the time to read, why not listen to an audio book as you drive to work?

Read Books When Driving? Look For Audio Books!

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Find audio books. Printed books are beautiful, we love them, but can you read a book and drive? Some people think they can, and how that ends we don’t really want to tell here…..

To download an audio book and have it ready to listen to when you drive is the smarter solution!

With audiobooks you can use otherwise dull time to get entertained. Or you could be learning a foreign language for instance. It’s also a lot easier to have audio files that you can load on to your MP3 player, rather than having to lug CDs and a bulky CD player.

Valentine Poems - Download the Audio File for iPod and MP3

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

This year, Valentine will be different for many. Instead of just flowers, chocolate, perfume and whatever else is given on Valentine, many will recieve a Valentines poem collection that can be loaded on the iPod or MP3 player. Your Valentine will be listening to these poems forever - well, maybe that’s a slight exageration - hearing romantic words, selected and offered by you.

Valentine is for lovers. But expressing the feelings of love, the appreciation for the other, the love and emotions - all that is difficult to put into the right words. Writing a Valentines card can be quite a chore…

If you’re short of words, there is a solution: Poets and song writers have spent hours perfecting their poems to tell their love how much they appreciate them, how much they mean for them and how they can not live without them. They did that in much more poetic words than what I write here.

Valentines poems can be downloaded as audio files that fit on a cell phone, iPod or MP3 player. The collection ‘A Dozen Red Roses: 12 Valentines Poems‘ is my favourite, it contains a wide variety of different poems, you can be sure that they will touch the right cords. These twelve poems can also be downloaded individually, making them a nice and not too expensive gift to add to chocolates, flowers or any other, more conventional gifts.

It is easy and only takes a few minutes to upload the audio files with the Valentines poems to the iPod or MP3 player. Your Valentine will have these files with her / him forever to listen to your precious gift whenever they feel like it and miss you!

P.S: If you have a site that caters to Valentine and lovers, why not join the affiliate program for the AudioBooksCorner and offer these files from your site too?

Crime and Thriller Audio Books

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

The main site with the products - i.e. the audio books - for the affiliate program starts to pick up speed real nice. Writing an occasional blog entry and having a few domains up that point to the great crime audio books that can be downloaded from there starts to get results.

Affiliates start to build their web pages with the program too. We see a lot more activity and the first sales by affiliates come in as well. I’ll start an ‘friends of AudioBooksCorner’ page with links out to them next week.

We have a lot of New York times bestseller authors in the program. I’m trying to list some of them too and link in to the site, this will get some additional traffic. One thing I know is that I’ll become one of my own best customer, these audios are great!

It’s Sunday evening, so I keep this post short, more next week!
