Home Based Business

Hi all! I am recommending today a product (and this is NOT an affiliate program - I get zero if you sign up. It’s THAT good) that is more than time management - more than project management - less than life management, but pretty damn close.  It’s called Simpleology, the Simple Science Of Getting What You Want.  It’s by Mark Joyner, who has the gift of reducing complex problems and situations to simple solutions.  And as everyone knows: simple is better than complex.  Simple is stress relief.  Here’s what I mean.

When I was just out of college, I landed a terrific job with a (at that time) huge software company. They had their own operating systems and languages.  So, we new-hires had to take classes on learning the company’s systems, languages, etc.  In one of the classes, we were paired up.  When we went to lunch, another classmate asked my partner and me how far we had gone on the in-class exercise.  He answered that we were on 15 (out of 20).
“Oh,” she said, “you guys must have skipped some.”
I answered, “No,we’ve done all of them..”
So the other young lady said, kid of sarcastically, “Then you did them the easy way?“

And my partner said - “What other way is there?”

Get Simpleology.  It’s free. It WILL transform how you work, and you won’t even notice the changes (except that everything in your life will be easier).

P.S.

You know the philosophy of this blog is that you can run an internet-based home business by learning everything you need, for free from what the gurus give away. I have posted several programs that are step-by-step guides to picking markets, picking products, setting up websites, and getting traffic.

But THIS one is just unbelievable! It is 120+ Hours of MP3 audio files FREE featuring today’s most successful & well-known Internet Marketers … Basically, it is 7 modules of 10-12 Internet Marketers each recorded on teleseminars or LIVE SEMINARS - TEACHING, not pitching. Each file is 1 hour or more. Imagine Alex Mandossian telling you the reasons people will buy off your website - and what you need to put on there to make it happen. He also tells the 5 ways to convert visitors into buyers. Or Stephen Pierce telling you the EXACT words to put in your emails to get “word of mouth” advertising - and your reader won’t know they are doing it! People, this stuff is GOLDEN! And it is FREE!

Here is a short list of the Internet Marketers featured:
Alex Mandossian
David Garfinkel
Derek Gehl
Frank Kern
Joe Vitale
John Carlton
John Reese
Marlon Sanders
Mike Filsaime
Rich Schefren
Shawn Casey
Stephen Pierce
T. Harv Eker
Yanik Silver

Now, I gotta tell ya - it’s unorganized. It’s a page of links to the speakers, and you have to listen to them, sort them out, and put them into your particular internet marketing strategy. It is worth the time and effort, because this is the kind of thing you go back over and over.

Oh, check out the offer after you sign up. Another unbelievable bargain. It is not free, but it might as well be. Plus, it allows you to instantly apply everything you are learning in the audio files, and make a lot of money quickly. Seriously - you know I am all about the “Free”- but the “incredibly inexpensive” works BETTER!

Click HERE to get the FREE audio files. Buy the offer. Make money. It doesn’t get easier than that, for this little money.

A 92 year old woman goes to her annual checkup with her doctor.  He sees she is married and asks her how many years. “70 this year,” she answers proudly.
“70 years married! That’s unbelievable!” exclaims the doctor.
“Wanna know something else unbelievable?” she says.  “I am still a virgin.”
“How is that possible?” asks the doctor.
“Well,” she answers, “I swore I would stay a virgin until my wedding day and that I would never cheat outside my marriage. My first husband -”
“Your FIRST husband?” the doctor says, shocked. “How many times have you been married?”
“Three,” the lady answers.
“3 marriages and you are still a virgin? I’m - well, I am confused,” the doctor says.
“Well, my first husband was a wonderful man.  We married on my 18th birthday.  He was hit by a bus walking out of the church and killed instantly.”
“Oh, that’s tragic,” says the doctor.
“It was,” agreed the woman. “My second husband was a little older than me. I was 20 on our wedding day, and he was 42.”
“So what happened?” asked the doctor.
“Unfortunately, on our wedding night, he got so excited, he had a heart attack and died on the spot,” she said sadly.
“That is so sad,” said the doctor. “But how can you be married to husband 3 for 70 years and STILL be a virgin?”
“Because,” the woman answered, “husband number 3 is a newbie Internet Marketer.  We don’t actually do anything - he just sits on the bed and tells me all the benefits and how good it’s going to be when it’s delivered!”

Get a product that does something RIGHT NOW!
“Don’t Just Build A List - Build A COMMUNITY“
 You get 5 FREE programs right on the website.

If you are on any internet marketer’s list, or read any internet marketing blog, you are hearing about John Reese’s “Traffic Secrets 2.”  It looks great.  The free videos he has released really are educational.  John Reese is one of the most respected marketers AND marketer-as-teacher people in the industry.  So I have no doubt that his program is worth penny.  But I am not promoting it (he’s got the “big guns” doing that) and I am not offering a bonus if you buy it (b/c most bonuses are just products that the promoters are giving you, to get you on their lists, so they can sell to you later on).  I am offering you the complement to traffic.

I am going to tell you briefly why MY product - “Don’t Just Build A List - Build A COMMUNITY” - is the perfect complement to Mr. Reese’s product.  See, COMMUNITY explains exactly how to use the power of the Internet to build relationships between you and your list and - here’s the unique part - between the list members themselves!  It explains how using the COMMUNITY approach, you don’t have to even try to figure out what your customers need.  They will tell you, without realizing they are telling you!

And, COMMUNITY comes with 5 FREE bonuses designed to help you get traffic and build relationships with other marketers.  COMMUNITY works for any niche or market.  The bonuses are BUILT INTO the product, so it VIRALLY builds your community also!

Getting traffic is great.  Converting that traffic to sales is better.  Getting that traffic to join a membership is site is awesome (for the few months they stay members).

But turning your traffic into FRIENDS - who recommend YOU and YOUR SITE to everyone they know - well, that’s the start of your dream…

This blog is all about the idea that you can educate yourself on internet marketing for FREE and can find products to sell for FREE and generate traffic for FREE. In other words, you can run a business on-line for free. That’s 100% PROFIT for you who got fired off The Apprentice. So this post will give you 4 of the best free programs on the web, and then look at 1 of them in-depth (because I cannot believe that THIS one is free!).

Best Free BUSINESS INFORMATION: Rich Schefren’s Manifestos. These documents will readjust your approach to your online business.

Best Free TRAINING: The 30 Day Challenge. 60 days of “preseason” training in various marketing tools, followed by 30 days of marketing training, where the result is ACTUAL SALES!

Best Free MARKETING MANIFESTO: Mike Filsaime’s “The 7 Figure Secrets.” One of the first - and biggest - of the mega-launches, Mike is giving away a version of a product he sold for something like $1200. Now THAT’s a deal.

And my very own free (randomly sent) newsletter and eReport on customer relationships at Start Your Life Now!

Here’s an in-depth look at Mike’s product (because this is seriously the most unbelievable deal I’ve seen yet):

Back in February of 2007, Mike Filsaime held a secret Private Workshop at an undisclosed location.

Over 100 people paid $5000 for the Workshop.

He then took those DVD’s (Which now sell for $1297) and sold it out in record fashion in under 7 days to 2500 people. Since then… over 3000 people have paid for that information.

The success stories that followed have changed the face of Internet Marketing.

(Filsaime, along with his 37 Staff Members, will do $10,000,000 this year in sales and is credited with showing other marketers how to grow a 7 figure Business.)

BIG DEAL!
Big Deal?

Recently, Mike hired a “TOP GUN” Internet Marketing Expert and Copywriter (That also attended the event.)

Mike Paid this “TOP GUN” $25,000 to watch all 16 DVD’s of “The 7 Figure Code” and condense it into a Masterpiece…

THE RESULT…

An 85 Page report, no fluff, with all of the Gold nuggets, Pearls of Wisdom, and action plans for you to get in a 1 hours’ read.

That’s right, what 100 people paid $5000 for, and had to sit through 3 days, you will get all of the information crammed into 1 report that you can read in 1 sitting.

Starting a home based business is easy.  Starting one to sell online is even easier.  But to create a business that is profitable, has loyal customers, and provides value consistently - aaaaah!  That’s a challenge!  That’s why the 30 Day Challenge was started.  In fact, you are reading this because of the 30DC marketing techniques.

The 30 Day Challenge is a free internet business training program, run by Ed Dale, a legitimate online marketing guru - and a heck of an entertaining guy!  The goal of the 30DC is for you to sell something online.  Not “learn how to” sell something online, but to actually generate sales!

The 30DC training begins with identifying a market.  You then identify what that market wants to buy.  Next - don’t get ahead of me - you find the product the market wants to buy.  Then, you sell it to them.  Whew!  And at the end of 30 days, you have learned marketing, market research, product development, copywriting, traffic generation, web site creation - oh my oh my.  And what’s realy cool, is that teams are created with other people going through the program.  So you get training from a guru AND help from peers.

This really is a remarkable training program.  And for it to be free demonstrates the confidence that Ed has in what he is selling: he will train you for free, because you will see the value and come back to him for more training.  And, apparently, if you don’t - he’s okay with that.

So check out the 30 Day Challenge.  Click HERE to sign up.  If fact, you are reading this because of the market identification and trafic generation techniques the 30DC teaches.  And, I hope, this copy has compelled you to want to sign up.  Check it out.  It’s free, so there’s no risk. 

We are less than 1 week from the beginning of this year’s 30 Day Challenge, the free Internet Marketing couse conducted by Ed Dale and Dan Raine.  This period is called”pre-season” and is setup to teach you the tools and techniques you will be using during the actual 30 Day Challenge.   Want to know what I’ve learned so far?

1. How to use Firefox browser most effectively;
2. How to use RSS and blog readers;
3. How to use iTunes for marketing (what??!! It’s TRUE!);
4. How to use StumbleUpon;
5. How to use forums;
6. How to use YouTube; and
7. How to use FaceBook.

And I’m not even COMPLETED pre-season!
And here’s what I think the 30 Day Challenge will look like (since the actual itinerary is laid out day-by-day during the Challenge:

1. Figuring out what market to sell to;
2. Identifying the best marker to sell to;
3. Testing your market;
4. Creating content for your website;
5. Generating traffic;
6. Testing and tracking; and
7. Making the sale.

Now, with all that - for FREE, except your personal commitment to doing the Challenge day-by-day for 30 days (you get weekends off!) - how can you NOT sign up?
Risk? The only thing you are investing is your time - 10 minutes a day.  Shoot, I can watch a video and take notes while my coffee is brewing in the morning.

Join up - join my team - and we’ll kick the (#$H@ out of the 30 Day Challenge TOGETHER!

I am committed to doing the 30 Day Challenge this year.  It starts June 1 - so you still have time to sign up, do the pre-season (which teaches you the tolls that will be used), and hit the ground running.  Last year, I didn’t even find out about it until Day 15 or so, and it was just way too much to catch up.  BUT- the stuff I did learn and use was extraordinary!

So right now I have been doing the preseason for about 3 days.  The training is almost exclusively video.  There are some podcasts and some .pdfs, but very few.  The videos are anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 or 18 minutes long, so I usually hita few in the morning while the coffee is brewing.   So far, I have reviewed Firefox (and some super cool tips), RSS feeds (and some really supercool tips),and the overview of the 30 Day Challenge.  The videos feature Ed Dale, who is very entertaining and is Australian, which is a very cool accent.  I was introduced to Australian accents by Olivia Newton-John, so there is a warm spot in my heart for that accent! (Oh, Ed Dale looks NOTHING like Olivia Newton-John).

The 30 Day Challenge itself is laid out to teach market selection, product selection, traffic generation, conversion, tracking, and improving.  It is truly an internet marketing package, with really cool tips along the way. BUT - the tips are NOT what is being presented.  It’s the whole METHOD of market-product-traffic-conversion.  And it is done in a really entertaining way.

I seriously can’t stress or encourage you enough to join up.  One method that is used is setting up TEAMS, to cross-promote each other’s products, as well as to provide each other with positive criticism and feedback. My team last year was superb.  I am hoping that some people who join through this blog will end up being on a team with me.  Look for Rick Carter when the time comes.

It’s time again for the 30 Day Challenge! This is the most unbelievable 30 days of absolutely free internet marketing training you will ever find!  I did most of the 30 days last year, and it revolutionized my marketing.

Experienced internet marketer Ed Dale leads you through 30 days of instruction, homework assignments, and the latest techniques in internet marketing.  And it’s all free!  And it’s NOT a pitch to sign up to a bunch of programs through their affiliate links or join their lists or anything like that.  The concept is simple: they teach you marketing, and when you start making money from what they taught you, you’ll come back to THEM for coaching, advanced training, more products, etc.

I am signed up already and I am doing last year’s “pre-season” - a series of video tutorials about Firefox browser, RSS feeds, iTunes, and a bunch of other concepts that valuable just by themselves, let alone how you can use them in internet marketing.

So - and you remember the point of this blog is that internet marketing can be learned for free - go to THIS LINK and sign up for the 30 Day Challenge.  Seriously people - you will NOT find better training, for such a long period of time, in such depth, for free.  If you aren’t signed up for the 30 Day Challenge, then you probably aren’t very serious about internet marketing.  And if you ARE signed up for the 30 Day Challenge - wave bye-bye to the ones who didn’t!

Today I took my daughters to the park. My older daughter pointed to a tree surrounded by nuts. “Look at all the nuts!” She said. “Well,” I said, “I guess the squirrels will come get them.”

“But there aren’t any squirrels living in this tree,” she replied. “How will they know to come here?”

“Let’s make a sign,” I suggested. “Dear Mr. Squirrel: This Way To The Nuts.”

“But Papa,” she said, “squirrels can’t read!”

Is your internet marketing like this?
A great product - the nuts.
A hungry crows - the squirrels.
A plan to put the squirrels and the nuts together - the sign.
A plan that cannot work, because the crowd simply will not get your message.

This is probably the main reason most people who start internet businesses fail to make money: the inability to get their mesaage to their audience. Whether it’s because of bad traffic generating techniques, bad list building, bad copy writing, bad offer, bad pricing - the goal - the sale - isn’t happening.

How can you solve this problem?  Because, remember: as a marketer, your role is to solve your customers’ problems. So how do you solve your problems?

One way is with a mentor. And most Internet Marketing mentors will let you sample their skills for FREE.

Martin Franzen is one of the most succesful Internet Marketers.  He is a marketing expert who has been doing
business online for the last 9 years. His regular consulting fee is $1,000 an hour!  I have learned a tremendous amount from him, most especially the mindset that Internet Marketing is a business, not simply a series of “buy this” emails.

He has generously let me offer a trial VIP membership to his home study course (he tells you exactly why he’s doing this).  You’ll get some of the best techniques from Martin’s big $1,497 home study course, “The Internet Marketing Master Plan: How To Turn Your Passion Or Hobby Into A Profitable Automated Business On The Internet”.

Click here for an free membership to one of the most comprehensive home study courses, including 11 free special reports. So if you want to keep writing signs for squirrels, have at it. But if you want the squirrels to actually BUY your nuts: CLICK HERE.

P.S. I will purchase for you a copy of my EXCLUSIVE “Don’t Just Build A List - Build A COMMUNITY” if you upgrade your membership or take advantage of the One Time Offer. (click HERE for the sales page for this one-of-a-kind manual).
