Is Technology Holding You Back?

HTML, JAVA, Cpanel, FTP, Upsells, Downsells,
OTO’s, Main Pages Squeeze Pages….Order Pages,
Confirmation Pages, E-mail campaigns, it’s…just…
about…enough…to make your head EXPLODE…

Sound painfully familiar?? Yeah, for me too.

Personally, it makes me itch all over just thinking
about it. And it’s what we face each and every day
as an Internet Marketer… I pose a simple question
and I get 43,676 answers from Google, NONE of them the
same and NONE of them that make a bit of sense to me…

Information OVERLOAD can shut you down. Not only that
it can shut your business down..in a heartbeat. No
clicks, conversions or customers… game over.

But, it seems like someone was listening to our
collective screaming… Keith Wellman and Marc Horne
the guys behind The Million Dollar March are apparently
paying very close attention to that screaming actually.

The reason I know this is because I just got a line on
a little deal they just knocked out that you can grab
gratis…long as you’re quick enough to get over there
and grab your copy before 999 other people beat you to it.

It’s called, zEzWeb…..and it literally takes ALL the
guess work out of building out your web business…
from sales page, to order confirmation and every step
in between…..as they say… it’s IN there.

Consider this your chance to overcome all that
technological overload and get things done the right
way… the first time. They just busted out a video
that you’re going to want to take a really close look
at. It outlines just how easy and powerful zEz Web
actually is, check it out now….

See ya,

P.S. Did I mention that it’s ONLY for the first 1000
people… and for those 1000 it’s not only get it for
free - but free for LIFE!

Check it out now, don’t be left out in the cold darkness
of cyberspace all alone - get it now!

Definition Of A Newbie

To me the word “newbie” is a state of mind that holds many people back

A Newbie is someone who spends their money chasing the dream of creating an online money tree, but even after planting hundreds of acorns no oaks are in sight.

You see the world of internet marketing has set up so that people get caught in what I call the “Newbie Trap”. Far too many people believe the dream that overnight welath can be created from an adwords campaign and the latest much have $47 ebook.

Once you make that first purchase it’s a downward spiral of spending more money and trying to learn everything that you think you need to know. After I purchased my first ebook I was called up and told that if I paid a few thousand and joined a mentoring programme I would be earning tens of thousands within months.

Like a true newbie I was out with the credit card and started trying the coaching calls. Sadly the guy who was training me was totally rubbish, and it was only when I started to do background research I found much more valuable content for free in marketing forums like NetMarketingForum & TheWarrior Forum.

Fast forward a couple of years and now that I’m a bit more savy I want to share 3 tips with you that will help you to get started actually making money.

  1. Stop calling yourself a newbie, and avoid products that are advertised as being suitable for newbies. The people selling these products realise that you have a shiny new credit card and rely on you being green behind the ears and pay copywriters to play on this.
  2. Identify the Mavens that you want to be like. Download the free reports, participate in forums, comment on blogs, and become a student of marketing.
  3. Start building your list. This is easier than sounds, as you don’t need to re-invent the wheel! Rebrand / get giveaway rights for a report you downloaded in step 2, and add your own aweber code and thank-you pages.

Now I hope you understand this, and if you need help with #3 then please get in touch

2 Types of Marketers - Which 1 are you?

Here’s something that I’ve noticed from doing some support work for launch formula marketing

Far too many people are using technology as a barrier and an excuse as to why they haven’t actually put this powerful marketing script into action. To get my point across I want you to answer this question:

Is it better to have a website that failed, or fail because you have no website?

I’m a believer that the best way to learn is by making mistakes, so I would rather have a failed website to analyse what went wrong rather than being left to wonder what would have happened if…

Just to make you feel better here’s an email I got today from Keith Wellman about his Dad’s new site

Yesterday Mr. Jeff Wellman launched
Lay Off Your Boss 2…

He did not do as well as expected,
however, this kind of thing happens
all the time in this market that
we are in…

so he has changed up the gameplan a bit…

He is taking off the $77 price and
willing to let you try it out for
one month to see what it is all
about…

So as you can see even the superstars don’t always get it right.

If you’re in the glass half empty camp and full of procrastination then I want you to make an effort to actually get your own website online, and learn from your mistakes.

Finally, this is my third attempt at a blog, and although it’s still not perfect, it’s already doing so much better than the previous 2 which looking back were no more than glorified “splogs”

Andrew

p.s. When you leave a comment be sure to include a link to your site, I like to see what sites my readers have.


One Down, 4 More To Go…

It’s now the middle of February, so how many of you have forgotten about your goal’s that you set out for 2008?

==> Andrew Stark’s 2008 Goals

As you’ve probably guessed from the title of this post I’ve achieved one of my goals. Starting on the 1st April my new title at work will be “Senior Chemist”. Much to Amanda’s annoyance I don’t know how much extra money this promotion brings, but it should keep us in nappies and formula milk for the new arrival.

I hope that you’re goals are starting to become a reality.

Why Simon & Jeremy Almost Always Make Money With Membership Websites

Simon Hodgkinson and Jeremy Gislason fall into the catagory of “super affiliates” who can make thousands of dollars from a single email promotion.

The reason behind this success is that many people see them as authority figures.

More importantly the reason why people regard them as authority figures is based on the thousands of people they have in their membership sites. So I wanted to let you know about this great new site that Jeremy and Simon have been
secretly putting together over the past couple of months.

Why?

To teach you everything they know about building online businesses and marketing with membeship sites.

There is already lots of great software around to build membership sites, but they have discovered many of you need more training n the mindset, ins and outs, behind the scenes etc.

Lots of free content available and tons more content in the upgraded Silver member area.

Free Ticket To Win £95 Million This Friday…


Pancake Day Fun

Today is Shrove Tuesday, or “Pancake Day”.

So rather than a normal tea we had pancakes, both savoury and sweet.

My favourite was the blueberry pancake as modelled by Molly. I think that this counts toward her schoolwork as she wanted the pictures taken.


Why Internet Marketing Is Like Playing Poker…

I did it, last night I finally won at Poker!

Once every couple of months some of us get together and play cards / have a few drinks on a Friday night, and normally I’m the guy who always ends up out of pocket. Now last night was different, and when I started to think about what I’d done differently it became obvious why I’d done so well.

So here’s the 3 reason’s that helped me win last night, and how they relate to Internet Marketing…

#1 - Knowledge

The first few times you play it becomes far too easy to try and bluff your way to success, but this is a foolhardy strategy, and it will cost you all your chips.

By learning to fold early you will actual be able watch the “experts” play out the hand, and start to see the potential winning straight’s and flushes that would always beat that

Now thinking of internet marketing the bluff is they typical newbie approach where the credit card comes out, and you buy a dozen products that promise overnight riches on the salespage. Yet a month later all you have is a load of debt, and no idea how to actually make any money.

So keep that credit card in your pocket, identify the experts and watch how they go about marketing products.

#2 - Positive Mental Attitude

By learning how to fold, and keeping hold of your chips you will end up ahead of the newbie who is under pressure with only a couple of chips left. When you have more chips in from of you than your opponent you’re in a position of power, and this gives you a sense that you can actually win, and 90% of the time you will.

Just don’t get too positive, and go crazy against that expert that always beats you.

For interent marketing the positive mental attitude comes from promoting the right products. If you decide to promote a product because it has the biggest affiliate commission then you’re like the guy sweating away with no chips.

Promote things that have helped you personally, and good things will happen.

#3 Capital

Knowing when to invest really is the best way to win at poker, and the same thing is true in the world of business.

In simple terms you need to speculate to accumulate.

When you get dealt a pair then bet big before the flop, this will leave only the serious players in the game, and give you a much better return if you win. My pocket pair of 9’s resulted in a very nice full house, and raising the betting at the start meant a whole load of chips came my way.

For internet marketing capital investment is all about buying the things you need to turn you from buyer into seller.

Here’s what I would call capital items:

  • Web Hosting & 3rd Party Autoresponder
  • Ghostwriter to produce a viral report
  • Graphic for your website
  • Buying resale-rights to products in your niche
  • A script / technical support to turn your report into a membership site
  • Buying traffic

Now unlike poker when you invest in these items you should be looking at a guaranteed return on investment over a given timeframe, rather than just hoping that the last card will be the one you need for a straight flush.

Pulling It All Together

If you have knowledge, A Positive Mental Attitude, and Capital to invest wisely then you should be able to create a website that will build you a list in your chosen niche, and generate you a couple of thousand bucks each month so that you can go play poker with your friends.

SEO CodeBreaker for real or just anther over-hyped product launch?”

Click here to get SEO Codebreaker

“Fact or fiction: is SEO CodeBreaker for real or just anther over-hyped product launch?”

To begin, I was very skeptical about this product. Do you really think that anybody can get great search engine rankings and free traffic in four easy steps?

I doubt it!

Well, after reading the sales letter, it all seemed to promise a lot. However, since there was a money back guarantee, I didn’t have anything to loose. So, I figured I would give it a try.

If it didn’t work I would just get a refund and that would be that.

After deciding to take the plunge, I was pleased with the membership area. Everything was laid out and organized in a very easy-to-use manner.

However, I didn’t join for a pretty member’s area. I wanted step-by-step videos telling me how to get free search engine traffic.

It was the videos that I wanted!

The content on the videos is what is important, not some fancy member’s area.

Now this is where the rubber met the road.

Did the Charles Kirkland promise live up to the hype?

Well, I thought I had a good understanding of SEO but this was like going from 0 to the speed of light in the length of the videos.

The videos are very easy to follow, and were much better than I expected.

The content is rock solid and is really easy to grasp.

Charles really takes his time and explains the how to do it and, most importantly, why to do it.

I would give this product 4 ½ stars out of 5.

This is just personal, but I hated music in the videos. In addition, some of the Web 2.0 techqunes are on the advanced side. But other than that, this is a steal.

Overall, I recommend that you get this before your competition does.
