Michael Rasmussen's "Mini Site Profits Exposed" Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini
sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money
online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or
money to set up, and once you've got one up and
running, you can sit back and just collect money from
all the sales you're making.

At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...

*************************************************
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you've been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more
about that later. First, let's talk about the videos
themselves.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It's important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll
agree that he has succeeded.

Now let's move onto...

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it's impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the site:

Misite Profits Exposed

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it's structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it's important to
pay close attention to this one.

You'll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you'll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as...

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create
the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so
they'll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of
your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He'll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you've been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you've already got a mini site that's up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit'
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it's that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you're going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it's own video.

After watching this video, you'll understand why you
can't just have a single front end product, and you'll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you... completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You'll learn
all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it's really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your
mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you'll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you're done with this video, you'll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

DELUXE VIDEOS

education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you

The deluxe course contains four full-length videos

Here's a breakdown of each video:

*************************************************
VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END
THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT
*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in
itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

You'll learn how to set up your autoresponder to
automatically remove a person from your prospect list
after he buys, and then insert him into your customer
list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence
will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you're out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You'll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************
VIDEO 15 - MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT
MAKE YOU MONEY
*************************************************

When you think about all the 'stuff' you can do to
drive traffic to your site, it's hard to know what you

driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so
you can begin making money ASAP!

*************************************************

In this final deluxe video, Michael will reveal his
best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of
any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT
seen before, so you'll want to pay extra close
attention to this one.

Think about it... if you're going to put the time in,
and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael
shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense
that you'd want to make the most amount of money
possible from it.

In this video, you'll learn:

- How changing one sentence on your mini site could
double your profits easily.

- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your
average order (which puts more money into your
pocket).

- The one thing you must add to your 'download page'
that will instantly increase your income (with no
extra work, once this thing is put into place).

- How to turn your actual product into a money making
machine!

How many times have you started a Home Study Course, only to find that it's either over your head or something is missing? You end up having to buy other e-books to fill in the gaps. But they don't quite mesh with what you have, so you end up even more confused.

There is nothing worse than buying something that you expect to take you all the way to your destination, only to have to pay more to actually get there. Imagine buying a train ticket from LA to NY, and halfway along your journey you're told you need to buy a bus ticket from Kansas City to Chicago. With Home Study Courses and train tickets, you expect to get to your destination without having to pay more.

The new Home Study Course by Kevin Riley certainly does take you all the way. Nothing has been left out, and nothing has been assumed. No matter how new you are to Internet marketing, this Home Study Course will lead you step-by-step through building a profitable home-based business. The detailed screenshots and simple directions are like having Kevin there showing you exactly how to do each step.

Seven manuals, a success guide, 22 helpful worksheets, 5 templates, and a viral sales script will ensure you successfully build your Internet business.

Unlike many Home Study Course – which parade an impressive array of manuals and DVDs in front of you, so they can charge you hundreds of dollars and you'll never plow your way through all the fluff – Kevin has priced his succinct Home Study Course at an ultra-low Recession Buster price.

If you're ready to start truly making money on the Internet – and doing so for a very long time – go now to Kevin Riley's New Home Study Course.

Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind

Last year I was signed up for a while to Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind. The membership gave me access to oodles of valuable information. One of my "classmates" was Alborz Fallah who went on to produce a phenomenal blog which was recently estimated to be worth $5 million dollars.
Alborz's blog is at caradvice.com.au.

Here is the link to an audio interview between Alborz and his mentor Yaro Starak. Yaro is one of the best and most famous bloggers in the business.

It's worth a listen. You can also download the pdf file with the transcript. No Charge!

Who are These Guys??????

OK! I've been telling you how important the information in James B Allen and Kevin Riley's IPO -- Osaka Interrogation is to your online profits. But who are these guys? Why should you listen to them? How can they help you make a lot more money online?

Well ... take a look at this quick video:



The Osaka Interrogation

Kevin Riley and James Allen in Japan

If you are interested in increasing the profits from your online efforts, you NEED to let me tell you about what's been going on in Japan...

You see, I just received a very interesting update from my friend Kevin Riley. For those of you who haven't heard of Kevin, he's the author of a very successful line of Internet Marketing guidebooks he calls his "Recipes".

(Kevin lives in Japan with his beautiful Japanese wife.)

Kevin is extremely good a cranking out popular and informative reports -it's his specialty. But, to drive traffic and track the results of his offers though, he turns to another internet marketer who also lives in Japan, James B. Allen.

(James also has a beautiful Japanese wife. Spotting a trend here?)

It turns out that these two experts recently got together in the city of Osaka for a week. During that time, they spent several days at Kevin's "Lab" creating a video series teaching all their secrets.



The Osaka Interrogation

As Kevin tells me,

"James had contacted me, thoroughly disgusted with the skimpy information being drip-fed at expensive IM seminars, and ready to spill the beans on all the super-effective techniques he's employed to make big profits off the Internet.

"For 3 long days, we locked ourselves in the Labs (only cigars and whiskey kept us alive) and pooled our vast knowledge and experience with product creation, Internet marketing, offline marketing, and business building. We filmed it all.

"We were absolutely drained at the end, but what emerged was phenomenal. We are offering it as video series named - Internet Profits Optimizer: The Osaka Interrogation."

Kevin is being serious here. If you are still struggling to increase your online income, you'll want to check these out as soon as possible.

Incredibly, this video series, which you can download and watch on your computer, includes 19 videos. That's three full hours of Kevin and James spilling their techniques for increasing traffic, conversions, sales and profits from your websites, all in a clear and detailed manner.

You can read a full description of the offer at their main salespage here:

You are not alone. In fact, getting good information is often quite difficult.



Online Income Conspiracy

In fact, as it turns out, there are some people who WANT you to keep wasting your money like that - without getting results. They are the agents of the so-called "Online Income Conspiracy".

Luckily, there is a simple 3-Key system ANYONE can apply to increase their online income - using the tools and training you have already spent money on.

Learning this system has two powerful benefits.

The first - it will help turn what you already know into increased online profits.

Secondly, it will keep you from ever being duped by the conspiracy again. The 3-Key system virtually guarantees any future purchase you make to help your online business will actually be a good investment.

Knowing this system, you'll quickly be able to spot the cons and the scams and avoid wasting your money on them ever again.

Kevin Riley and James B. Allen have just released a FREE report that reveals both this "Online Income Conspiracy" that has been working against you AND the "3-Key" system that will improve your online income and release you from the conspiracy's stranglehold.

You don't even need to provide your name or email address - just click, download, read... and be enlightened and armed with a potent formula for success.

Online Income Conspiracy

Sunday, March 23, 2008

Ok. So you're new at internet marketing and you want to get the ball rolling. You want to see some $$ going in to your Paypal account. Maybe you tried affiliate marketing. Maybe it wasn't as easy as "they" make it out to be. There's alot more to success at affiliat marketing than just taking a link and plastering it up on your website/article/email.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about having YOUR OWN product. Have you started to look around at different niches that work for you? Do you have a topic that you are somewhat knowledgeable (or even passionate) about?

Would you like to start building your list?

Once you have a list you can start building a relationship with them. Eventually, if you provide them with enough valuable information they may buy from you! Get enough people on your list and provide them with good value and you will surely earn income from your subscribers. And you will be feeling good about providing them with valuable information that actually helps them.

Are you a bit unclear still about how to start your list? Would you like to own a neat tool which teaches you how to go about writing your first free report and instructs you how to graduate from free to low cost and then to higher cost reports?

Kevin Riley, master of the "Recipes" series has come up with yet another great Recipe called Recipe for Building a Cash Pumping List with Free Reports. He provides detailed instructions in an ebook on how to write your free report. He provides a Word Template for the report, a complete website, thank you page, confirmation page with instructions on how to pull it all together with your autoresponder (without which you cannot build your list, of course...).

This is the product that can help you get started building that list the right way.

SMARTS, Mass Control and $50 a Day

Stompernet's SMARTS, Frank Kern's Mass Control - hooeeeee. We're talking big money launches! One thing they both have in common is that they both made sure to release a bunch of really good quality, FREE videos (a la Eben Pagan) which provided tons of valuable information before they launched.

As a matter of fact, although Mass Control sold out already, I received a mail today saying that they will be re-opening on Sunday for a short time in case anyone still wants in (at about $2,000...)
Even if you can't afford to get it, you have to go on over to Frank Kern's blog, Mass Control Site and watch the free videos. They're perfect for newbies and are very informative. Frank has a very friendly and unpretentious style that appeals to me. Worth watching.

Now over to something completely different.

I got my hands on a book called 50 Bucks a Day by Daniel McGonagle. Usually I don't even open up all my mails on a Saturday night because my inbox is so full. I usually just delete everything. But, Daniel usually sends out high quality stuff and he doesn't bombard my inbox. So, I purchased it from him for $7 and I must say I learned something that I would not have thought of. It's a short report which teaches you in 14 pages (10, actually), how to make about $50 a day online without using Affiliate marketing, Adwords or Surveys. I haven't tried it yet but I can see how it would work. You do have to put work into it but, hey, we all know there is no such thing as a free lunch! Have a look at the under-one-minute video about it here.

Cash Pulling Blog Tactics Revealed

I just downloaded a free ebook on making cash from your blog. It's a darn good book and unbelievable value for $0!!!! It's called Cash Pulling Blog Tactics Revealed.

The book was published by Aaron Leighton and David Isaacs. As I leafed through it I thought that I recognized the content. Well, I did! Originally this book was written by (or ghost written for) Tony Shepard, who had provided it to me for free, as his subscriber. Even then, when I first received this book I thought that it was one of THE best blogging resources I've ever read. Apparently, Aaron and David bought PLR rights to the book and are now distributing it as a way to help build up their business.

Clever boys.

It's really one of the best blogging books I've seen. Covers topics like:

+ Getting Started
+ Which forums to frequent
+ RSS Feeds
+ Social Bookmarking
+ Using Videos
+ Commenting on other Blogs
+ Article writing and submission
+ etc. etc.

It's a freebie and absolutely worth your time to download it and read it - that is ONLY IF you are a blogger or planning on being one. This is a must-have resource.

As an aside, they are also compensating people for promoting this free resource (50 cents per each referral). I wouldn't mess around with it for the measly few dollars but I do think it's worth a perusal (and there is an upsell that they are offering commissions on).

20 Ways to $100 a Day - Product Review

By now you have probably heard about the new 247 page report, 20 Ways To $100 A Day. I was fortunate enough to get a copy of this as soon as it came out. What I am going to do is review it for you so that you don't have to wonder if it's any good or not. I will say right off the top, there is both good and bad to this report. You will need to decide if the good outweighs the bad. I can't make that decision for you. I can only give you the facts and my opinion.

Okay, here are the facts as briefly as possible, which is hard to do when you're dealing with a 247 page report.

The report is not written by one person, so you don't have to worry that this is from the biased viewpoint of a single individual. The report has been put together by a number of people, some of them just regular folks like you and me, not big name marketers. Each person tells, in detail, how they go about making $100 per day minimum and in many cases a lot more.

Some of the people in this book, like Dr Mani, I know personally. So I can vouch for their integrity. Some of the people, I do not know, however know their methods and can vouch for the methods themselves. The person who put this book together (Willie Crawford) is also a very respected marketer, so I can vouch for his character.

Okay, let me get to the pros and cons of this book.

Pros -

Each method is laid out step by step. Some of the steps aren't as detailed, which is understandable when you're trying to include so much info. Any more detail in this book and 247 pages would have been 1247 pages. Nobody would read it.

There are many types of plans as far as time frame. There are plans for immediate cash, which will appeal to many folks, and there are plans that are more long range where you will make your $100 a day, but it will take some time to get there. But most of these plans will actually yield much more money.

There is something in this book for everybody. It covers both software creation and sales, info product sales, Ebay, greeting cards and things I would never have thought of. If you can't find something in this book that strikes a chord then you're just not trying.

Cons -

There is no focus on what may be the most important part of all of this, and that's advertising methods. Now, the good news is that if you have Steven Wagenheim's Honest Income Program (reviewed on this blog here), then you have info on advertising methods, which is quite extensive. So just apply them to these money making efforts and you'll be fine. Just don't expect any great advertising tips in here. That's not what this book is about. It's about ways to make $100 a day, fairly easily, and there are 20 of them.

Finally, there is no push button method in this book. Additionally, all of these methods take a lot of work. So if you're looking for easy money where you don't have to do a thing, then this book is going to disappoint you. There is no easy way to make money online. It takes work, and this book is no exception.

Overall

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I give this book an 8.

It's not a "Bible" for an absolute beginner because it leaves stuff out. On the other hand, it does a really good job of giving you the "big picture" and presenting you with different ideas about how to go about making money on the net. Once you choose a method you will probably have to read up more on this method in order to fully implement it. If you've been in IM for a while this book is a great supplement. And for $27 it's a joke not to buy it.

Check it out. 20 Ways to $100 a Day.

Happy Holidays and Stompernet Videos

Happy holidays to one and all.

Are you satisfied with your online performance for 2007? Did things go as planned? Did you even plan? Do you have a business plan?

I am asking these "provocative" questions to get you to thinking. If you are satisfied with this year's results, keep doing what you've been doing. If not, maybe take a step back and do a reckoning of how your online business is doing (actually, it's good to do a reckoning in any event). Sometimes we get swept along with what we're doing even if it may not be the most profitable thing to do or even if we're doing it not quite the right way.

Have you been focusing on doing one online project at a time? Or do you keep getting sidetracked by new and exciting offers that land in your inbox? Man, just downloading all those freebie gifts that come this time of year takes hours! If you haven't worked that into the schedule you can be totally thrown off (like what is happening to me!!!).

There is so much going on out there. So many new products to check out. We need to set aside specific time in our schedule to keep abreast of what's going on in the world of Internet Marketing. But by no means let this completely take over your day. It's so easy for that to happen.

If you make any new year's resolutions at all, let one of them be that you will strive to focus on one project at a time. And plan, plan, plan. It's too "easy" not to plan. But that can cause us to waste mounds of time.
These are my thoughts at the close of 2007.

Now, for some Holiday cheer.

Go watch this video made by Andy Jenkins from Stompernet. He's going to give you a new piece of software totally FREE. It's called Scrutinizer and will helpyou look at your website with a new pair of eyes - eyes that help you see whatyour visitors see. Then you will be able to make changes in layout in order toincrease your conversions. The video is only 6 minutes long. It's cute and tells you exactly how to get the software.

Also, if you are interested in learning how to triple your conversions, go watch Andy's free Stompernet video on how to do that. It's an excellent and eye opening video.

Once again, Happy holidays to everyone!!

Free Lesson From Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind

You may remember that I did a review of Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind membership.
I am happy to be able to provide you today with a freebie lesson from the Blog Mastermind. Yaro is closing the membership to new members on Moday, December 10th. He has made this lesson available so that you can have a read or a listen to the audio and see if you think this membership is for you. The lesson is number 11 in his series of 27 lessons and the topic is "Traffic to Your Blog".

I was a member of the Blog Mastermind for 4 months. Every week Yaro would send out a lesson on such topics as Traffic, Podcasting, RSS, Social Networking, SEO for blogs, Blog Monetization etc. etc. Each lesson is provided in both text form and audio. There is quite alot of content in each lesson and Yaro gives lots of homework too. In addition to the lessons Yaro provides tons of other stuff like case studies of members' blogs and all kinds of other audios of blogging experts in the industry. The amount of information in the membership is staggering.

The Mastermind takes the novice blogger and slowly but surely turns him/her into an experienced, money making blogger. This mastermind is for people who are interested in building a serious blog which becomes an "authority" site. Not quickie "splogs" for just pushing products. Yaro teaches you how to build your blog the right way so that when you get to the monetization step, you do it right and people wind up buying from you.

I highly recommend that you check out this free lesson if you have any desires or plans to become a blogger. If you like Yaro's style you can sign up to the mastermind. He even provides a 30 day, money back guarantee.

All of Kevin's recipes are very clearly written with lots of clear instructions and great graphics. Good information from beginning to end.

Meme, Anyone?

I got 'tagged" recently by my buddy Grizzly Brears, one of my favorite bloggers.
He posted in his blog about this "meme" that's going around the blogosphere.

This is how it works. He asked me 5 questions (that someone had asked him):


5 Questions about the ONLINE YOU…

1. How long have you been blogging?
2. What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?
3. Are You trying to make money online, or just doing it for fun?
4. Tell me 3 things you LOVE about being online.
5. Tell me 3 things you STRUGGLE with in the online world.

I am supposed to answer these questions on MY blog and then post a comment back on Grizzly Brear's blog. Then he will come by and see my responses to his questions. I, in turn am supposed to tag a few other bloggers and invite them to join in by answering these questions and tagging a few other bloggers.

Can you see where this is going? This is a nice way of sending link love to the people I tag.
Each one will get a link from me just like I've received one from Grizzly.

Simple to play - I want to learn about my blogging buddies, so simply tell me more about you and your blog. In the post that you create, reference this post and then tag 5 of your blogging friends. If you don’t know who to tag, why not tag a blog that interests you as a way of getting some link love and finding more about that blog.

So, here are my answers to the questions:


1. How long have you been blogging?

I started blogging in August 2006.

2. What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?

The first real "how to make money" book I read was Holly Mann's Honest Riches. (See my review here). In the book she described how easy is to set up a blog on blogger and promote affiliate products. So, I figured, "What the heck" and I set up my first Blogger blog. I soon really got into it and started to enjoy communicating with the IM community. It was especially exciting when I started to see traffic coming to the blog!

My mentors, hmmm, I would have to say that Dr. Mani is number one in my book. I blogged about him in a recent post. He is unbelievably helpful to everyone. Craig Desorcy from www.Wehelpnewbies.com is also a mentor of mine.

Roger Zimmerman from www.pickaguru.com was very helpful to me when I was just starting out.

3. Are You trying to make money online, or just doing it for fun?

I am in this for the money. I do enjoy blogging, especially about the topics that really interest me - health, weight loss etc., but ultimately it's about the money.

4. Tell me 3 things you LOVE about being online.

I love meeting really nice people from all over the world. Spending time on forums is fun for me.

I love creating stuff. It's exciting to have an idea and go through the stages of bringing it to life.

I love the money.

And, I LOVE not going in to my job anymore!

5. Tell me 3 things you STRUGGLE with in the online world.

I struggle with all the technical aspects. I HATE technical stuff.
I struggle having to keep up with all the new technologies. I hate having to buy every new ebook just to know what's flying.

I struggle with not letting my online hours encroach on my family life. I have 5 kids and not too much computer time. Sigh.

Now, lets see who I should tag.

1. Dr. Mani's Money, Power and Wisdom blog. Dr. Mani is a pediatric heart surgeon who is one of the nicest and most productive infopreneurs online. Great blog, full of original stuff and lots on making money online.

2. Ryan Ambrose, from Financial Self Reliance, has a nice, upbeat blog for people who are interested in reading "thoughts from a student of online home business". http://www.financial-self-reliance.net/fsrblog/index.php/

3. DotmySpot is a good blog by someone who is making nice money from blogging. All the financial information about income is right there for everyone to see. Impressive.

4. Internet Bazaar Tips - Make Money Blogging. Informative blog, updated very frequently and loaded with information.

5. Grizzly Brear's Making Money Online for Beginners - I am tagging Grizzly back because his blog really is one of my favorites!!

Download Hacks and How to Avoid Them by MisterY




I recently read a real eye opener about how "hackers" can download YOUR products off of YOUR websites without paying for them. I always thought that hackers were these evil people that hacked into secret government installations and stole state secrets. Now I know that there are plenty of hackers that just help themselves to whatever they want all over the internet.

So, you may not know it but your website may be leaking hundreds, or perhaps thousands of dollars out of your sales account.

If you think you've 'hidden' your download folder then think again because there are frighteningly simple ways of 'uncovering' your secret folders that even a child could use. Pretty scary, huh?

Download Hacks and How to Avoid Them is an excellent book which uncovers all the hackers' 'secrets'. In fact the writer who, for obvious reasons, wishes to remain anonymous and is known as 'MisterY', infiltrated the hackers' secret lair to discover all their systems and techniques.

Now he has written an expose of hacker methods which shows you exactly how they work and what you can do to protect your site and your downloads from hacker attack.

He really does leave nothing out as he takes you by the hand and reveals their most closely guarded secrets.

Inside Download Hacks and How To Avoid Them you will also gain access,not only to the hackers' secrets but there is a complete Resource Center which provides all the techniques you need to use to control access to your website.

And he shows you exactly how to protect your files, products and downloads from prying eyes.

This is the real deal and this ebook is packed with VALUE (in my humble opinion).

By the way, I happen to be a personal friend of MisterY (for REAL) and he has organized a special discount for my readers and subscribers. The normal price is visible on MisterY's main sales page:


P.S I nearly forgot! Specially for my loyal readers I've arranged a discount with MisterY. The normal price is on MisterY's main sales page: www.misterysecrets.com. Don't buy it from there. Make sure you pick it up from Download Hacks and How to Avoid Them.

Todd Gross, Kevin Riley, Craig Desorcy, Grizzly Bear, Dr. Mani, Paul Meyers...

Today I feel like telling you about some of my favorite people on the internet.

Kevin Riley - Now there's a guy who churns out high quality products! He is an extremely personable guy, living in Japan. He is constantly producing new products that are really good. One of his line of products is his "Recipe for..." line. A few examples of them are: Recipe for a Newsletter (learn how to produce an effective newsletter which gets read and acted upon).
He also has a great freebie report on how to create your own Online Money Factory.
He gives wonderful advice and produces excellent products that can make YOU money. His products are also very professionally done with super graphics and videos.

Craig Desorcy - Here's another native English speaker who lives in Japan and teaches English there. He is one of the all around nicest guys online. He loves to help newbies and you can find his various instructional video tutorials in different places on the internet. He's got a great site for newbies where you can join for free and get one on one help from him. He's also got video tutorials available there. If you are a newbie, looking to learn the ropes and get ahead this is one person you want to be in touch with.
If you are interested in joining his free membership it's at www.wehelpnewbies.com

Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian (hope I spelled that right) - I just posted recently about Dr. Mani and I don't want to repeat myself. Let it suffice to say that the man is very, very special and one of THE most helpful people I have ever come across online. It is well worth your while to be on his list. Despite his success online and off this is not a blown up guru who preens in front of the rest of the IM'ers. He's fresh, original, creative and knows a heck of alot about being an infopreneur. The best part is that he likes to share his know how. Here's the link again for Dr. Mani's Niche Starter Kit.

Todd Gross - Mr. Personable, Weatherman and Internet Marketer. What a personality. He produces great videos and he's so darn convincing!!! He's another one of those nice guys who always answers his emails immediately. I always open his emails because he's got great deals to offer. They are short and too the point. Smart. If you haven't joined Todd's Free Monthly Gifts site I highly recommend you do. Every month he provides you with high quality products at no charge. A total no brainer. Get on this guy's list!!

Grizzly Bear - I don't know his real name but who cares. Grizzly has one of the best internet marketing blogs I have ever read online. When I say "the best" I mean that it's got the most no-cost information. Grizzly knows so much and shares his knowledge and opinions freely. I like him. If you want to check out his blog it's here: Make Money for Beginners. I literally stumble upon it once because it has a similar name to mine!

Paul Meyers - Probably the wittiest and most articulate guy online. He's been around for just about forever. I love following his posts in the Warrior Forum and I enjoy being on his list. I'll admit that I never purchased a product from him but not because I don't believe that they are high quality. He's very knowledgeable and informative! Oh yeah. Also extremely entertaining. Another list worth joining.

That's it for today. I hope you've enjoyed my list. Anyone you would add to this list???
Please feel free to comment!!

Dr. Mani

Ok, Friends.
Today I have to tell you about a real internet friend of mine.
His name is Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian. He is a very, very special man.
Besides being an internet marketing expert, better known as an infopreneur, Dr. Mani (in his "real life") is a pediatric cardiac surgeon with an burning desire to give and give and give to society. I don't know how he finds the time to do what he does but he is truly amazing.

Can I share with you what Dr. Mani did this week? He was so excited about Willie Crawford's fantastic team-built ebook, "20 Ways To $100 a Day" that he emailed his list and told us that he wants to GIVE OUT 10 copies of the book to people who cannot buy it right now ( it's simply not in my budget right now). He requested that whoever wants a copy post to his blog. Well, he chose 10 people for whom he personally purchased the book and I was one of them. Is he amazing or what?

Please join Dr. Mani's 24 hour challenge here: http://www.firstgiving.com/drmani.
Where you can either donate or fundraise for a good cause: Room To Read
Room to Read provides under-privileged children with opportunities to gain the lifelong gift of education, in order to break the cycle of poverty and provide the means for self-determination.

In any event, I recommend joining Dr. Mani's list. He's one of the most prolific guys on the internet. Constantly churning out reports and products. He's clever, original and a total breath of fresh air.

If you're interested in seeing what kind of products Dr. Mani has you can check out Dr. Mani's Niche Starter Kit.
