The Story

Worst ... Title ... EVER.

2010-06-23T23:23:00.000-04:00

Ok guys, I know I just posted about this huge video I was working on...but I just got wind of THIS and had to share it.

Besides...I'm having CRAZY technical difficulties with this video...you wouldn't believe me even if i told you. Let me get it live, then I'll post a video about all the probs I had.

ANYWAY! Those of you who know anything about me, know that I'm a huge Mark Joyner fan. I really believe the guy is a genius.

If you have no idea who he is, you may want to go to Simpleology 101 and sign up for free...as what I'm about to reveal to you you're probably not ready for...

Anyway...

This just went live: http://bit.ly/13dayinfo

And... this has to be Simpleology's worst product title ever! The product itself? Well, that's AWESOME!

It's just a really bad product name - here's why ...

They called it the "13 Day Info-Product Creation Kit" but their test candidates were getting their brand
new products up and selling in 24 hours.

When you complete your order in the next 24 hours you'll get a boatload of extra cool stuff "on the
house" as they say.

But you've got to complete your order before the deadline. I found out early on not to try and call Mark on his bluff...because you wind up missing out on huge deals! He's not one of those guys that lets the infamous "order now there's only 5 left" website up for years. When he says it's gone...it's gone.

Remember, these guys created new products from thin air in 24 hours, and some even generated their
first sale in 24 hours.

- with no list
- no JV traffic
- no gimmicks

Only Simpleology can make stuff this simple and easy like this. And I LOVE Simpleology...not only because it's simple, but because I USE IT! Remember that...I'm telling you about something that I'm using...(and coincidentally I DID just purchase this 13 day horribly titled product) And I intend to USE it ASAP!

And if you think this is going to cost you the arm and a leg that most products of this nature cost,
think again.

You will experience the exact opposite of "sticker shock" when you see the price:

And let's cut the crap here...of COURSE he's selling something. Of COURSE this is an affiliate link, and OF COURSE it leads to a sales page....

BUT! I need to stress something:

I just got done reading the sales page and placed MY OWN order, and then came immediately to my blog to update about it! Why? 

Even if you DON'T BUY the product...you will learn TONS and TONS of things just from the landing page. I promise. 

If you've been tossing around the idea of making your own product, you owe it to yourself to at least check out the link, read up on it, and make an educated choice. You might even learn WHAT your first product will be even if you go at it solo (that's the hard way btw).

And then what? Perhaps taking that info product mobile? hmmmm... Iphone ap idea anyone? ;-D

please come back and comment after you check it out. it's HUGE man....huge.

It's been a while...but I'm back! With a Vengence!

2010-06-13T23:09:00.000-04:00

Real quick post today. I know I haven't posted much about anything lately. That's because I basically went back "underground" if you will to learn a few more things, and come back out on top.

I discovered a totally cool, yet disturbing secret that has to do with affiliate marketing in ALL markets! Disturbing because it's been kept a secret for so long!

I have a video coming soon that will tell you more about it.

That's all for now.

Check back soon for the video.

Read This Before Choosing a Google Adsense Alternative!

2009-11-28T23:11:00.000-05:00

Did you mess up and get booted from google adsense? Well you definitely need to hear what I have to say before choosing a google adsense alternative! But let's start from the beginning.

For those of you reading this who have NO CLUE what google adsense is, let alone a google adsense alternative (and that's totally cool. Heck a year ago at this time I didn't quite understand what a blog was). Let me help you. Take a look at my blog right now. See all the advertisements between posts and along the side?

Let's say you stumble onto my blog and don't exactly care about what I have to say...but while you're reading one of those advertisements catches your attention. Well, if you click on one I'll get a few cents. Big whoop right? WRONG!

For instance. Let's say you have your own blog and you're getting paid .20 per click (that's 20 cents). If you only get 10 stray vistors to your page a month and one person clcks an ad...then that's hardly worth it. But let's say your blog gets 10,000 visitors per month. just 10% (1000 people) of them click other ads from your site. That's 200 bucks for doing...well...nothing! Pretty cool right?

Well depending on what ads you are running on your site and what the payout per lick is (yeah...per lick! I WISH we got paid per lick! lol)---What the payout per CLICK is, you make more or less. The more clicks from your site = more traffic for the person paying for it = more of that ad running on your page = higher payouts = more money in YOUR pocket. Get it?

There are actually full-time professional bloggers out there that make money solely on adsense. How COOL would that be? Just saying whatever comes off the top of your head, speaking your mind, and getting paid for it! (Oh wait...it IS pretty cool).

Ok, so we understand the concept right? SO what could possibly go wrong with that?? Well, when you consider that Google is very strict...which is understandable. They strive to do away with bad sites and spammishness so if you goof...even a little, they will suspend your account, indefinitely. Perhaps that's even why you're here now. You got banned and need an alternative. And seriously, just try to get your account back. It won't happen.

Problem number 2: Google adsense pays you CENTS per click. CENTS (that'd be not dollars).

Problem number 3: The ads on your blog aren't terribly targeted. Google just looks at keywords and content on your blog and kind of guesses at the whole process.

So, you obviously got online to make some money one way or another right? A few cents per click isn't bad but what if I told you that you could actually control your ads, make them convert better because you're getting targeted web site traffic, and you can DRAMATICALLY boost your blog profits?

Think I'm lying?

This is totally cool and actually INGENIOUS!

Let me introduce to you the Wordpress Affiliate.

Are you familiar with Clickbank.com? If you are you'll totally get how cool this is!

Ok for those of you who are totally clueless about clickbank... they're the perfect start for a new online marketer. Clickbank is a marketplace to promote digital products. Promoters go to the website, choose a product, promote it, and get paid when they make a sale. Simple.

So...let's say that you are personally promoting 20 different clickbank items. You also have a blog. (You must have a wordpress blog for this however). So, think of the implications if you could take all those "adsense" ads that are on your blog, and replace each and every one of them with a product that you are promoting as an affiliate!

You are now earning COMMISSIONS instead of cents per click (or lick). Do you see how HUGE this is??

It's brand new on the market and it's CHEAP because it's new.

It's pretty easy to install and your ads are SUPER targeted.

I kind of got booted off of wordpress when I was learning how to do this whole blog thing last year. They suspended my account. I'm in the process of figuring out a way to get a new account so I can use this plugin. (That's why I'm on google right now).

Anyway, all I can say is go to their website and check out what it's all about. Wordpress Affiliate

And of COURSE this is an affiliate link! Why wouldn't I promote it and at least get paid for it? I really believe in this product and WILL be using it as soon as I find my loophole! You'll get the jump on ME!

Leave some comments and let me know how much money this plugin made you on your blog!

Here's a way I made a QUICK 130 bucks...

2009-11-24T15:50:00.003-05:00

Ok. I definitely need to share with you guys a system I used about a year ago that led to a quick $130 bucks directly in my paypal account within like...a day.

Well if you count the time it took for me to actually LEARN the whole process....maybe 2 days. But that much money when you NEED it fast? That's amazing. In fact that's how I bought Christmas presents last year...with that money.

This, coincidentally, is the FIRST system that made me any money when it comes to the online arena. It actually There's no affiliate marketing and no confusing stuff when it comes to this system.

The system is called Project Payday. Check it out and you'll meet some cool people who are making hundreds; and even cooler people making THOUSANDS online using this method.

PPD teaches you every step of the way how the method works and what the process is.

Here are the best things that I like about it:

1) There's a way to get it FREE just by completing a sponsor offer.

2) There are videos AND lesson plans to learn the entire process.

3) They tell you up front that you probably WON'T get rich doing it, BUT you most certainly will make some extra cash. (What better time for that than now right before the holidays right?).

4) You get up and running right away. There's no need for a website or any of that junk.

5) There are not only one but TWO ways to make money with this system.

6) If you get stuck there's like a bajillion mentors right online in the forum that will help you out at the drop of a hat. (I even had a guy call me directly and took about an hour of his time helping me do this).

7) There are litterally thousands of people online that are willing to pay you and WAITING to pay you.

I was going to go into depth about it here...but why should I bother when you can just go to their website and they can explain it quicker and easier than I can.

I'll admit when I first found this site, I had my doubts. It sounded ridiculous...BUT I was definitely ready to make money NOW. That's what appealed to me. And I can honestly say...they delivered on their promise.

All you need to do is keep track of the offers you choose to complete.

2 Things you need to make ANY biz successful!

2009-11-22T20:01:00.009-05:00

Ready?

I mean it...seriously...are you ready?

The 2 things you need to make ANY business work are: (drum roll please)

1) Self Improvement

2) A coaching program (I guess you don't NEED this but it makes your life 100% easier and profits come a lot faster).

You can make any business model work...in theory anyway.

However, there's always one minor thing that happens to get in your way.

any idea what that minor thing is?

that's right! YOU!

Wait a minute Mike...you're telling me that I'M the reason I can't make money? I'm the reason I can't make this business of mine (whatever it may be) work?

DING DING DING you got it! That's exactly what I'm saying!

Mike....you crazy!

Ok...now that I've lost half of you to your angy ego...I will speak directly to the second half.

If you've been struggling in business (online or off) for a number of years and can't seem to make it work....maybe you can't get past a certain dollar mark for profits...or maybe you can't make ANY money on your website....or maybe you freeze when its time to call a customer back. WHATEVER IT IS you can fix it!
But......in order to fix it you need to realize that there's a problem....right?

Ok lets look at this logically:

Am I the reason you get stuck in your business?? nope.

is your GRANDMA the reason you fall flat on your face every time you try to close a business deal??

ABSOLUTELY NOT! who's at fault here?

Yes...you are. you can blame employees or supervisors, your wife, your kids, lack of money....but whats the "magic saying"? where there's a will there's a way right? you CAN do it!

I could type all day about this...here's a link to a FRIGGIN' AWESOME website owned by a guy named Mark Joyner. You may have heard of him before. He's like...legendary online.

If you TOTALLY want to fix what's going wrong in your biz...Mark can help. He can also explain it all much much better than I can on this blog. (Heck I'd be typing forever).

He provides a coaching program called Simpleology. And...lets face it...it's SIMPLE! It actually happens to be the program that sparked the whole idea for this blog!

Even better? Do you want me to put whipped cream on top of that milk shake??

IT'S FREE!!

Click here and Go check out Simpleology

Mark provides BOTH a self improvement program and a COACHING program all wrapped into one with simpleology.

First Things First...

2009-11-22T17:38:00.003-05:00

Ok...First things first.

Let's get a few thing's out of the way.

1). If you're an English teacher...KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF. I like to type like I talk (I've been told that I'm very animated and dramatic when I talk...typing is no different). I KNOW that how I type is not perfectly grammatical Anglo-Saxon old-english style English. BUT I DON'T CARE! haha I type to get points across.

2). I will help ANYONE to the best of my knowledge on how they can help monetize their own sites. I will point them in the direction of where to go to get the right education and/or systems to get yourself moving...but I WILL NOT do it for you. No one did it for me, and if you want it bad enough you will figure it out. If you're a whiner...or worse...a GRIPER, you're not going to be welcome here. Like I said, if you want change in your life, and SHOW that...by all means I'll give you my own personal email address and we will chat.

3). YOU HAVE TO HAVE FUN when you're on my blog! Period. I'm a fun guy (by the way...did you hear what the mushroom said to the carrot when asked why he should be invited to the party?? "Cuz I'm a fun-gi" hahaha...ok anyway). And I have fun doing this kind of stuff. I'm easy to get along with and not much bothers me.

And SINCE we need to have fun if we're going to be working our butts off making money online...I'm going to periodically throw in some links to fun stuff that I find online. Let's start with this one badgerbadgerbadger just watch it for like 5 mins and it will get funnier as it goes on.l..i promise...

And...That's about all for now! Told you I'm a simple, easy-going guy!

come back for the next post about the 2 things you ABSOLUTELY NEED to make your online business work! I don't care who you are or where you came from!

What the HECK is this all about??

2009-11-20T07:47:00.005-05:00

OK...exactly what the HECK have you just stumbled onto and what is this blog all about? Truth...thats all.

This is the story....a saga if you will, about my journey from being CLUELESS about LIFE (that'd be college) to where I am now. Essentially it is the story of my journey into and through affiliate marketing for profit.

So what sparked this site? I've spent the last 2 years at least searching, reading, studying, trying "the latest THING." And I'm PISSED!

I wanted to change my life so bad that I've basically went a-wall from all my friends, and turned into a techie geek (not REALLY that bad but...you get my point) JUST so I can learn how this internet marketing thing works.

Bookmark my blog if you're even remotely interested in internet marketing. 2 reasons:

1. you may learn something.

2. I'm going to tell it like I see it. I'll be giving my opinions on some systems/products I've personally tried in the past...as well as things I'm working on now. I'll either give the "yeah this is a good one" or the "hell no don't waste your time!" I mean...I'll provide links to everything so you can still check it out either way...I'm just going to give my honest opinion about everything.

Ok, and I know some people out there will read this and thing Oh man another BSer. But that's not the case, and those are the people who I don't want reading my blog anyway.

Ok moving on! So why in the WORLD should you even listen to me??? Good question! I've done the whole college thing--guess what? It didn't get me what I was really looking for. There's more out there! And as I figure out exactly how to go about getting that "more" I'm going to clue my subscribers in on it as well.

So point being...listen to me because I'm real and have been where you are. I'm not claiming to be a millionaire or even a thousand-aire! .......YET! But i AM making money online. You need to crawl before you walk right? If I can do this...anyone can. I'm taking you with me on my whole journey. When I learn something, you'll learn something. Once I put it all together what these "guru's" are doing I'll be putting together my own product....my way.

If you want to know more about my background hit up my profile! I give the WHOLE (long) story there.

PS Let me know if you prefer videos or written text...or both!? I'll probably wind up doing both in the future.
