Wed - June 20, 2007Why Consistent Advertising Leads to Good Profits - IMS #125Question: What was the name of that
PPC to CPA course you recently took and dove into?
Answer: The course was Gauher Chaudhry's Pay Per
Click Formula. I started applying his PPA (pay per action) affiliate program
ideas to my parked pages and website ads. It really got me thinking, when I
suddenly started earning a lot more than I was with
AdSense.
I announced the course a few newsletters ago, but didn't want to go into detail, and make a lot of competition for myself. ;-) I will tell you though, that I'm not applying the formula, exactly as shown in the course, as I'm getting my traffic from organic SEO and media buys through AdBrite, in addition PPC. Get Unlimited Traffic with AdBrite ==> http://www.cdzn.com/ab What the course did do for me, is open my eyes to the process of maximizing the revenues out of each click. If you follow the examples in the course, you can start doing very well, very quickly... with one condition. Go where the big markets are. Gauher made a fortune with disposable baby diapers. Get out of the "selling marketing products to marketers" mind set, as it's a tiny market with only a few thousand players. Think about the general American and UK buying public. Think millions of potential customers. Think of big consumable markets like coffee, tea, dietary supplements, diapers, BBQ supplies, paper, batteries, cleaning products, cooking oil, spices, lotions, creams or cosmetics. Look around your room and start plugging those terms into Nichebot, or your favorite keyword research tool and you'll be surprised. You'll discover all sorts of untapped niches, just waiting for you to come and plug them with products. Lookup Keywords in Nichebot ==> http://www.cdzn.com/nb2 Then once you have a niche, set up a process. Make and test your ads with Google Adwords. Then once you have a winning ad, prepare to widen your reach, by using other ad delivery systems like AdBrite. (You can jumpstart your PPC research with a tool like the new AdSpy Pro. You'll see which ads perform best in any market. http://www.cdzn.com/asp ) The winning ad leads to a landing page. On the landing page, test your headline, copy and graphics and try to improve your conversion ratio. In the case of PPA affiliate programs, it might be as simple as persuading someone to give out their postal code. Once you have a process, or sales funnel in place, you look at the numbers. You look at your conversion rate and the cost of your advertising. If you're making more than you spend, and especially if it's 400% or more, it's time for a media buy through AdBrite, or some other ad marketplace. You go out and buy the most traffic you can afford, and reach an audience, but not bigger than you can afford. You want to reach 10% of the people and convince them 100% of the way. (Not the other way round.) It's not rocket science, but you do have to spend close attention to details. You do need to put in the time it takes, to set up a sales process, test and track your ads, and keep an eye on your ad spending. But all that's in the PPC Formula course. Want the PPC Formula? ==> http://www.cdzn.com/ppc Once the floodgates open, it's really a wonderful feeling. It's really cool to apply your marketing skills to the average public, and watch them eat up an offer, that has nothing to do with internet marketing. So as you sit there sipping your beverage of choice... ask yourself how many other millions of people - potential customers - around the world are also sipping a similar beverage. Then think of the possibilities. They might just start buying it, or the machine that made it, from you and your advertising.

like to be in the top 10 search results on Google... the most heavily used
search engine? Of course you would... who wouldn't love to get all that
traffic?
How would you like to be mentored by someone who
consistently has his site in the top results? Someone who holds down top
position in one of the most competitive markets? Someone who trains you not in
geek speak, but in everyday English?
I'm talking about Colin McDougall, author of the highly acclaimed VEO Report. He's not a guru. He's just a regular hard working guy that doesn't give up. He keeps at it until he finds what works. If you think competing for wedding favors or barbecues is hard, try bankcards. Colin holds down a top 10 spot for several keywords in this market. Now Colin shows and tells all. If he can do it... so can you. What he's offering is missing from almost every other private site... personal assistance. If you get stuck with your internet marketing, or SEO efforts, Colin will be there to help you through it. I've spoken with Colin quite extensively about his new club. I am convinced that he is dedicated to helping you succeed and achieve your goals. He is collecting a huge database of your questions. The most frequently asked ones will be addressed through teleconferences, podcasts and webinars. There won't be any CDs or DVDs, as content delivered in these mediums are usually obsolete by the time you receive them. By using podcasts and conference calls, new marketing strategies can be explored while they are still emerging. Whereas old tactics - that used to work - can be dismissed and put away, once and for all. For example, on his site, he shows a little video on how to get a couple of PR6 links to your site. It's one of his favorite SEO tricks of all time and it takes less than five minutes to do. Once you watch the video you'll know this secret. And after you've picked your jaw off the floor, and your brain has had a chance to recover, you'll want to join Colin's "Fly on the Wall" SEO club. Colin McDougall's SEO Club ==> http://www.cdzn.com/fly Seriously folks... in a land of opportunists, all just trying to sell you stuff, almost none of them have walked the walk. They all talk up a storm, but in reality, almost none of the marketers have ever practiced what they preach. So here's a refreshing change, from someone who not only competes and wins. He battles it out for some of the most competitive keyword terms on the planet. Now just imagine what he could do for your market?

people became successful online. Were you one of them?
The only thing they had in common was the training
they received. They didn't face fear, uncertainty or doubt. They had mentors
every step of the way.
In addition, they all received hours of instruction on DVD. They attended seminars and networking events. And they received answers to all their questions in a private forum. The best part is, it doesn't matter what your game is. It could be SEO, affiliate revenue, PPC, AdSense, blogging, listbuilding, copywriting, sales, conversion, persuasion, or finding just the right keywords. They have faculty and staff that are at the top of their game. They are most highly coveted coaches that you could ask for. The harsh reality is... that you only have a finite amount of time on this planet. Life is too short to be wandering around lost in the desert, wondering which direction you should go in. If you're like most people, you want clear, concise, actionable advice. An achievable destination, course and speed. If you follow the advice of this membership, I'm confident that you can grow your online business and earnings exponentially over the next year. I must warn you though, that personal training from this elite group expensive. And yes, I will make a commission if you join through my link. But I don't want you joining up because of persuasive ads, or because your friends are joining up. The last thing I want is people joining up if it will cause any sort of financial hardship, or if they're not in a position to use this knowledge right now. I want you to ensure me, that you are ready for the ultimate learning environment and putting the knowledge you'll absorb into action.... If you haven't guessed it by now, I'm talking about the online business training from StomperNet University. It's going to reopen and accept new members starting Thursday May 3 2007 at 12 Noon Eastern time. You might be fed up and tired of hearing about it by now. And you might want to stop reading about it. But what I'm about to tell you could change your life forever. It's an email I sent to my readers back in January. Some of them are becoming very successful and making more than I do. I encourage to take just three minutes of your time to read it again, before you make a final decision.... OK? There's only one resolution you need to make this year. To have a more successful business. One that brings in more cash and pays you more. Then you can have a better quality of life, and spend more time with your family, friends and doing what you love. That's why the second half of financial... is freedom. True, money can't buy you love. But it frees up your time so you can go look for it. ;-) On May 3 2007, there arises just such an opportunity. Never before have so many specialists joined forces to create the ultimate learning environment. The old adage is true. It's what you know and who you know that will determine the success of your business. Imagine learning from the best SEOs in the business. How about from a guy who runs several businesses that earn over 14 million dollars per year. What if you could get personal attention from a copywriting legend, a blogging expert, a conversion specialist, a PPC wizard, or a keyword research guru. Imagine having access to anything that you want to know. But it doesn't stop there. By accessing these specialists, you also have access to who they know. Their social circles. Their personal and professional reach. It's like connecting the dots of wisdom. A consolidation of some of the greatest minds on the internet. It's often said that, your income will average the people you hang around with. So would you rather be in the company of people taking home 50K, 500K or five million per year. How could you NOT succeed with this kind of help. And no, it doesn't matter if you're a beginner, fairly successful, or if you want to ramp up to several million dollars a year. There are faculty and staff earning way more than that, and they are standing by to help you succeed and grow to the next level. You'll get SEO and conversion strategies that work. Copy writing than causes prospects to salivate. Business & ecommerce training from leading experts.

Do you ever get the feeling of overwhelm. Are you distracted by new and emerging business tactics that you think MIGHT work? Forget about it. You'll never have to be alone or make uninformed decisions. You'll be able to focus on building your business and simply ask the mentors if a new tactic or strategy is right for your business model. In addition to the faculty and courses, you'll get a giant box of training DVDs sent to your home or office. These disks are the foundation of SEO and running a successful online business.

Look for your regular IMS newsletter next week. Until then, here's wishing you all the best for online success. Michael Campbell Posted at 04:53 PM Sat - April 21, 2007No Hiding from The Laws of the Universe - IMS #122First off I owe you an apology.
Sometimes I get a little selfish. Sometimes I have to remind myself of the
fundamental laws of the universe, "You reap what you
sow."
The more you plant the more you harvest. Or for the more logical minded, for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. These are universal truths. I've been writing the newsletter now for eight
years. It does bring in a good chunk of coin. But mostly, it's a public service
to my readership. I spend hours culling through everything that's going on, and
try to give a digest version of what will truly effect the way you do
business.
In return, you reward me with kind words of gratitude and glowing testimonials. And on occasion, from time to time, you buy things that I recommend. But any time I get a little quiet online, people start asking if I'm ok. They start to wonder, where's the newsletter, what's going on? Those who know me - on the other hand - know something is going on. You see, I've been busy working on a new course. And at first, I didn't want you to know about it. That's where I was a little selfish and need to apologize. Rather than accept a complimentary copy and promote the product, I bought it straight away. I plan on using the information in the course to add an additional 120K in profit, working only part-time on the project. Notice that I didn't say that just owning the course would bring me the extra funds. The course will bring me additional success, because the info inside, is a sound strategy. I plan to implement the wisdom as a goal. Witness here in writing that I'm committed to acting on it. Five hours per week to learn the course, then take the necessary actions to make it work. Now that I have a goal, there is no choice, except to succeed. In 1957, Earl Nightingale popularized the words of Napoleon Hill, "You become what you think about." If you set a goal and think about it. You WILL move towards it, both consciously and unconsciously. The Strangest Secret ==> http://www.markvictorhansen.com/strangest_secret.php Think about this for a second. Imagine your goal to be like a ship. You choose a destination, set a course, an arrival time, and set sail at a determined speed. You'll probably arrive on schedule or close to it. Imagine a second ship, with no destination in mind, doesn't matter about the course and speed, because they'll probably never go anywhere. Without goals, we just float about and never leave port. But as the universe would have it, it's law foiled my attempt to purchase the course. When the creator of the course saw my name on the order, he refunded the full purchase price, and sent me the course with his compliments. Curses... even if I thought I could "pull one over" on the laws of the universe, it would have no part of it. The creator of the course asked me to tell you about the course, IF I liked it... What? Are you surprised at the fact I still do courses? I've never stopped. I'm always working on something new. In 1986, I decided to become a student of marketing. A humble student. Even though I've been in the game over 20 years, I'm still learning. And when you learn, you keep your mind challenged and young. With every new thing you learn, bits that didn't quite fit, seem to connect, as the dots emerge into a big picture. This course arrived at my door, and I put down everything else to start working on it. It's a physical product so I didn't have to print out the hundreds of pages. I started with workbook one and didn't eat or drink anything, seemed like I didn't even breathe for hours. Usually I have a highlighter pen to emphasize the important bits. But this time I needed a second color pen and a regular pen, to highlight and underline the really important tips. Then for the first time ever, a third highlight color for absolute new information, things that I never knew before. And that's just the first workbook. Actually, it looks more like a kids coloring book, than a course. It's so full of colored highlights, there's barely any white space left. So I'm going to have to tell you about it sooner or later, so here goes. This course shows how to be successful in PPC (pay per click) to CPA (cost per action) marketing. Which - all mumbo jumbo aside - really means this... You take out a PPC ad on a service like Google or Yahoo, and you send the clicks to a web page. Once the visitor arrives, you try and convince them to give a little info about themselves. It could be as simple as their zip or postal code. You just made a buck fifty. That's all there is to it. What just happened is... you get a commission for the visitor taking that action. That's why it's called CPA or cost per action marketing. Sometimes you'll make a buck just for a postal code. Sometimes you'll make 20 dollars if the person leaves their phone number and address. Now... I used to do this years ago. I had several insurance sites. Back in 2001 I used to get three dollars for every time someone requested an online quote. I didn't do the work. All I did was bring the searcher and merchant together. I was a traffic broker. It's very similar to affiliate programs. But unlike affiliate programs, CPA programs do not require the visitor to buy anything, in order for you to get paid. Usually, the visitor has anywhere from one to five fields of info to fill out. The more info they give, the larger the payout for you. So when I heard about this course, I was naturally skeptical. Afterall, I never heard of the dude that created the course, and I had always used organic search for CPA offers. Now I'm supposed to believe that some dude I never heard of can make over 100K a month - yes a month, that's not a typo - using PPC traffic and CPA offers??? Then it became true. My long time friend Neil Shearing told me, it's the real deal. Because Neil considers me a mentor, I trust him completely. So when he said it's the real deal, I knew in an instant, this course could not fail me once it arrived in my hands. And that's when I bought it... but unfortunately or fortunately, however you look at it, my reputation preceded me. I was foiled! Gauher Chaudhry - the creator of the course - knew about me for a long time. He refunded my purchase immediately. There was no way the powers of the universe were going to let me withhold this course from you. You see... Gauher has already made enough to retire... several times over. Now that he's been blessed with abundance, he has decided to share his wisdom with the rest of us. But rather than release his course to the masses, through direct marketers with breathless hype, snake-oil and flashy gimmicks, he invites only his customers, those whom have worked through the course, to become spokespeople or evangelists for his brand. So I didn't want to tell you about it. I really didn't. I just wanted to buy it, stay quiet and keep it all to myself... but here goes... What makes this course so good, is that Gauher, doesn't hide anything. Everything is spelled out on the pages. You see actual web pages. Actual offers. His exact wording. All his test results from years of perfecting. You see the entire sequence of events from click, to landing page, and presentation of the offer. It's like the curtain being lifted and seeing the machine that makes the profits possible. Gauher takes it even further, showing in the "Workhorse" method, how to build the PPC to CPA, into a sustainable and scalable business model. We're taken though subscription forms, thank you pages and the entire autoresponder sequence. And that's just the first workbook. We're also shown things that don't work... at least not when they're pitched at marketers. But the world outside internet marketing is a very different place. A world of innocence where things like pop-ups, meta redirects and autoresponder sequences still work the magical wonders, and people eat it up. But that's just the first workbook. There are six workbooks in all. Once for each major PPC search engine. One that covers the rest. And one for building keyword empires. Plus there's six CD tutorials and two DVDs. Nothing is left out. It's tough not having an excuse. That said, there are a few things you'll need to be aware of... One, this course is expensive. Good! It will keep out the riff raff and the chumps who like to "pump and dump" each new thing, only to abandon it, when they don't get an abundant harvest overnight. Two, you are paying for the PPC ads. There will be a lag time between that output, and the CPA network paying you. So you will need a bankcard of sorts with a decent limit. (If however, you have a reward card that pays Air Miles, you'll soon be flying first class on the house. Just be sure to pay off the card completely before the end of the month.) Three, it takes hard work. As the saying goes, all luck and success are the result of hard work. Or to quote something from the universal truths, you reap what you sow. But notice that you have to sow FIRST, in order to reap. Four, you don't need THIS course. But you do need A course. In fact, I'd prefer that you don't buy it, so there's less competition for me. ;-) (Remember, if you're on a tight budget, everything you need to know about becoming successful online are in the Keyword Marketing Report, The 200 Page Challenge and Clickin' it Rich. You can get all of them right now, from my downloads page. They'll give you a solid foundation on which to build a business with affiliate programs.) Free Marketing eBooks ==> http://www.InternetMarketingSecrets.com/downloads/ So now... if you'll please excuse me. I've done my fiduciary Karmic duty. I've told you about the course, even though I'm a little ashamed to admit that I didn't want to. Get the Per Per Click Formula ==> http://www.cdzn.com/ppc And yes... I may get quiet at times, the blog posting gets rather sparse and the newsletters get a little further apart, but that's only because I'm hard at work on my goal. My destination, my goal, an extra 120K in profit working part-time. The course, Gauher Chaudhry's Per Per Click Formula. Cruising speed, one year. Remember, you become what you think about, and I've already set sail. My only question to you is...... when are you planning to leave port?

different product announcements. There was a conversion tracker that showed
which click leads to the sale. An article slicer dicer. A software collection.
Three seminars. Two membership sites. Four "methods" that guarantee success.
Four (yawn) ebooks. One giant 10 CD package. A landing page maker. And three
coaching services. SIGH!
As Shirley Bassey sang...
They say the next big thing is here, that the revolution's near, but to me it seems quite clear that it's all just a little bit of history repeating The newspapers shout a new style is growing, but it don't know if it's coming or going, there is fashion, there is fad some is good, some is bad and the joke is rather sad, that its all just a little bit of history repeating. (© 1998 Propellerheads' History Repeating.) Every single one of these 21 products has been done before, in one form or the other. In the case of the conversion tracker, both Google and AWeber have them included as part of your account. Or if you prefer industrial strength tracking, there's always HyperTracker. And it's only 15 bucks a month. The landing page customizer... oh please, that's so 2004. One coaching service tells us to delegate everything out... well, duh? The other coach tells how to approach "gurus" and do a JV (Joint Venture). Gee... didn't Neil Shearing write that course over four years ago? The article dicer... it's dangerous and there's no real need for it. The ebooks, marketing methods and product creation... all repeats of what you'll find on my downloads page in Clickin' it Rich, the Keyword Report, the 200 Page Challenge, and Quick & Easy eBook Publishing. Downloads ==> http://www.internetmarketingsecrets.com/downloads/ One dude has emailed me 12 times in 30 days. Two more hit me 11 times. The average opportunist hits me five to seven times per month. Sheesh! It's getting so bad, that one self proclaimed AdSense Guru started sending me junk every two days. Sometimes every day. He set a record for 22 email in a single month. There was offer after offer, with only a tidbit of useful info, for every nine pieces of junk. Then I found out that he's getting his "useful" info from the Google AdSense Blog. So I unsubscribed from him, and now get my info right from the source. Google AdSense Blog ==> http://adsense.blogspot.com Google AdWords Blog ==> http://adwords.blogspot.com Now my inbox has a lot less noise and clutter. Suddenly it dawned on me... if you want a more peaceful, quiet, healthy, happy life, and get a better work environment, unsubscribe from all the useless junk. So I've started down the path and am taking a serious look at what I've been getting. I sorted my Inbox by the "From" field. I set my threshold at 70%. Any person or organization that doesn't give valuable information at least 70% of the time, that's 7 out of 10 email... is toast. Bye bye opportunists and direct response marketers that have given the honorable profession of internet marketing a bad name. So far I've taken myself off over 20 lists. I challenge you to do the same. If you don't get value, unsubscribe. Even if it's this very newsletter. Yes, you heard that right... If you do not believe in your heart, that I give you at least 70% value to 30% offers, I want you to unsubscribe from this newsletter... because that is my promise to you! It's my Pick 10 Guru Challenge. I want you to pick 10 sources of information from "so called" internet marketers. I'm not talking memberships, blogs, websites, newsfeeds or other "self-directed" choices, or places that you "choose" to visit. I'm talking the stuff that lands in your inbox and causes distractions, uncertainty, fear and doubt, with their "next big thing" and "revolutionary" systems and products... when like the song says... some is good, some is bad and the joke is rather sad, that its all just a little bit of history repeating. My challenge to you... even if you don't select me for your team... I want you to Pick 10 Gurus, or 10 sources of "marketing related" info that are permitted access to your inbox. If something is truly important or revolutionary, you'll certainly hear it from one of them. Unsubscribe from all the rest of the noise, and not only will you be a lot more happy, healthy and peaceful, you'll be surprised at how much real work gets done, and what you truly can achieve without all the distractions. Let's see... who will I pick for my team of professionals? I find great value in communication from Ken McCarthy, Perry Marshall, Dr. Neil Shearing, Dr. Andy Williams, Jerry West, Phil Wiley, Jim Morris, Mike Liebner, Jim Edwards, Jared Spool, Sherman Hu and a handful of others. Who will you choose for your team? I'll continue to read and listen to the wisdom of the Wizard of Ads, the Eisenberg's Grok, Gitomer's Sales Caffeine, Zig Ziglar, Seth Godin, Buzz Out Loud, SEO Revolution, Larry Chase's Web Digest, StomperNet, Keyword Avalanche, Article Underground, and a few more. As for most everything else hitting my inbox... "the joke is rather sad, that its all just a little bit of history repeating." Pick 10. Delete and unsubscribe from the rest. I challenge you to do the same. Posted at 06:16 PM Mon - March 19, 2007Internet Marketer's Little Black Book - IMS #120Some of us remember Paul Galloway's
first online business directory. It became popular and was a standard reference
on just about every desk. That was seven years ago now.
If you don't know Paul, he's the guy that everyone
relies on to keep all the machines running. He creates the systems that keep all
the bits of hardware and software talking to each other. He's the true Wizard...
the man behind the curtain.
Paul has decided to completely revise and update his directory. He's offering a free download at this time. So if you'd like to see the 1001 resources that the Wizard uses in his daily web world, snag a copy of his directory. It's likely to be dog-eared and full of bookmarks in no time. Little Black Book ==> http://www.cdzn.com/lbb Posted at 07:14 PM Thu - March 15, 2007Join the Family of Achievers - IMS #120How would you like to be part of a

the wisdom is ported back into the group. Then the success of all the members

How would you like to have hands on instruction and
support. You don't just learn a system, you get help and support on how to
"execute" the system and make it work for
you.

Then if all that wasn't enough, you get web templates. Keyword research into the top 1,000 markets. Custom header graphics training. And you'll discover little known tricks to maximize your AdSense revenue. Plus, to top it all off, if you stay a member, you'll get a NicheBot account thrown in as part of the deal.

Try Out Keyword Avalanche for Only $1.00 ==> http://www.cdzn.com/ka1 Posted at 12:32 PM Tue - February 20, 2007Mini Site Creator Competition Eats Dust - IMS #119For years now, Jim Edward's Mini Site Creator has
been the undisputed champion of "how to" courses for learning HTML and daily
website operations. Now the best training system just left the competition
eating dust.
It's become the ultimate "how to do everything and
succeed online" guide. All the new videos are based on what you asked for. Some
new goodies include:
1. How to create an info-product FAST. 2. How to create a good sales letter in an afternoon. 3. How to integrate javascripts, cgi and php scripts. While talking with Jim he told me that. "I know the way I teach it is still by "hand" but it works. A lot of people have had success and more importantly, a major confidence boost after going through the course." So if you're just starting out... or if you've been struggling... or if there's something you can't figure out... or if you feel overwhelmed... this course is for you. I'd hate to be dropped off in the middle of the internet and asked to profit my way out. Back in 1994 we had to figure everything out for ourselves. Fortunately, thanks to this course, you don't have to. Everything you need to know about day-to-day website operations is here. And at only 400 dollars, it's much better that having to attend a nightschool class. These are CDs that you can play at home and watch as often as you want. To quote Benjamin Franklin, "If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it away from him. An investment of knowledge always pays the best interest." This course - my friends - is a heck of an investment and money well spent. Empty this information into your mind and you're never likely to go hungry again.

Posted at 07:11 PM Thu - January 11, 2007Real Growth and Exponential SuccessStomperNet may have closed, but
there's still plenty of expert help available. If you missed the opening, or
your budget didn't allow you to join, never fear. Here are some SEO, PPC and
Marketing specialists, that will help you enjoy real growth, and exponential
success in your online business.
Almost everyone wanted to join StomperNet. But most
of you said it was too expensive. I received hundreds of email asking for
alternate sources. Rather than go through and answer them all individually, I'll
try to tackle the problem on a mass scale
here.
Some of you started to panic a bit... Don't worry... I didn't quit. I'm not going to stop writing this newsletter. Whew! So relax. My direction is staying pretty much the same. I'm helping StomperNet in an advisory capacity, meaning that they'll come to me when they need my help. I have the power to make recommendations but not to take action enforcing them. It's strictly an honorary role like a professor emeritus. I'm still "retired" from public access. The only exception is that I'll be offering an hour of coaching to the people that joined StomperNet through me. I'll keep writing this newsletter and helping you become successful. I'll also keep up my experiments in SEO, PPC, advertising and marketing. Why? Because, I get a real thrill out of seeing the results of my "social science" experiments, and sharing the results with you. Ok, let's get started. A lot of beginners - maybe you - asked what to do. You wanted me to give you step by step instructions. Thankfully, there are a lot of specialists in that market, and they are ready to help you. The first step for beginners is a content management system. You can either create your own content from scratch, or use PLR articles like the ones from - our sponsor - the Article Underground, to jumpstart your website project. But how do you create the html pages, upload (FTP) them to your site, and update the site on a regular basis? You have two paths. Either learn an html editor (which isn't that hard) like Dreamweaver or SeaMonkey, or learn to blog. Blogging has become the more popular choice of late and there's tons of video training available. The best way to learn blogging is with Sherman Hu's WordPress tutorials. There's several videos publicly available on his site. Then if you want to go beyond the basics, you can join his private club. I just got off an instant chat with Sherman and asked him to name three things off the top of his head. Give me three reasons why blogging is the best content management system for beginners. Within a few seconds Sherman responded, "The search power with blogs is killer. The ease of publishing rocks. You have the freedom of logging in to publish from an internet cafe." That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Search engines love blogs. They are easy to set up and use. You don't need to know html. And you can add content to your blog from anywhere in the world. Now that's easy content management! Learn to Blog ==> http://www.cdzn.com/wpt Or if you prefer to make web pages the "ye olde fashioned" way, you can still take an html course at a local college, or get DVD training. Although a little dated, you can learn how to make web pages and get jiggy with all the other day-to-day site operations from Jim Edwards' Minisite Creator Course. HTML Video Training ==> http://www.cdzn.com/msc And don't forget, you can download my ebooks Clickin' it Rich, Nothing but 'Net and Revenge of the Mininet. But more importantly, I want you to read them. I'm not giving them away because they have no value... on the contrary. I'm giving them away, because they are extrememly valuable. I want to help as many people as possible, and let them share in the abundance that I have enjoyed. Michael's "All You Can Learn" Info Buffet: Revenge of the Mininet Free Downloadable eBook: http://www.revengeofthemininet.com/rev/ Clickin' it Rich & the 5 Hours To Profits Action Plan Free eBook: http://www.clickinitrich.com/cir/ Nothing but 'Net Free eBook Download: http://www.dynamicmedia.com/nbn/ As for personal one on one coaching, there's been a real void since I hung up my coaching practice over a year ago. Some companies offered me 500 an hour. One even offered to pick me up in a helicopter. I turned them down. I'm not bragging or anything, I made a commitment to myself to officially retire from public life. I just want to relax now. Spend time with my lovely wife. And have a little piece and quiet at this point in my career. Oh Right... we were talking getting YOU a coach. A good coach needs to be patient and have experience in all aspects of internet marketing. It's a tall order but there are a few people that I can recommend. Two of them that come to mind are Gregg Hall and Perry Marshall. You may remember Gregg from the SmArticle Templates and from the Social Bookmarking report. Gregg promises 1 on 1 support and an analysis of your current online presence. Gregg Hall's Coaching ==> http://www.cdzn.com/ghc Perry Marshall hosted the first AdWords conference many years ago. He showed us how little PPC ads could make a big difference in our bottom line. He showed us how to test, track and tweak our ads for maximum sales. Perry's training should be considered essential, for every serious student of marketing. When it comes to PPC advertising, and converting the click into a paying customer, Perry Marshall is the undisputed champion. Perry's Basic AdWords Course ==> http://www.cdzn.com/pmg Perry's Mastermind Training ==> http://www.cdzn.com/pmt Perry's Personal Coaching ==> http://www.cdzn.com/pmc The other big request, from all the replies to the StomperNet offer, is help with SEO. Now... I don't recommend that you delegate this task, or farm it out. At the very least - if you have employeees - you should bring this in-house, and learn enough about it personally, so you can ask dangerous questions about the process. That way, no one will slip anything by you. If you're a one person shop, then it's best to learn the SEO basics and apply them on an unconsious level. Make it part of your core competencies, so that you don't know how to make a bad page. Two of the most current sources on the market are Aaron Wall's SEO Book, and the perennial favorite, Planet Ocean's Unfair Advantage to Winning the Search Engine Wars. Aaron Wall's SEO Book ==> http://www.cdzn.com/seo Planet Ocean Advantage ==> http://www.cdzn.com/pob Or if you're the type that doesn't like learning from books and prefers a hands-on training workshop instead, I highly recommend the Search Engine Workshops by Robin Nobles and John Alexander. They have courses for beginners and advanced SEO students. You can learn just about everything you need to know in a week or less. Then you can start applying those skills immediately. Times, locations and dates vary, so it's best to click over to their site and find a workshop near you. SEO Workshop ==> http://www.cdzn.com/sew Then once you have the basics, you can build on that skill set by having other people "do the work" for you. As I mentioned in a recent blog post, Jerry West is my favorite "black box" tester. Jerry has hundreds of test web pages. With scientific precision he sets up web page experiments, carefully making changes and observing those changes in comparison to his control pieces. Those of us with access to Jerry's SEO Revolution, have privileged insider information. We know what changes the search engines have made to their algorithms, this month and through their history. Not only that, Jerry is a professional SEO seminar attendee. He spends thousands of dollars every year, flying around and attending all the SEO seminars so we don't have to. And no, it's not the usual "eye in the sky" reporting on the keynote speakers and the glitz... Jerry specializes in "hallway" conversations, one on one, with the movers, shakers and decision makers of the SEO industry. Jerry is truly a search engine expert. And his expertise goes well beyond Google, into MSN, Yahoo and traffic from the other search engines. I consider the SEO Revolution essential reading and highly recommend it. So much so, that I've set up a special deal for you. Jerry thinks I'm nuts for doing this but... I've decided to waive my normal 25% recurring monthly commission and pass the savings on to you. The Essential SEO Revolution ==> http://www.cdzn.com/jwr (Note: Please don't pass this link around. It's a special deal for readers of this blog and the Internet Marketing Secrets Newsletter only.) So now the dust has settled after StomperNet closed it's doors. We lost access to SEO, blogging and copy writing legends like, Leslie Rohde, Frank Kern, Dave Taylor and Dan Thies, as they are now full-time faculty members... But as you can see, there's still plenty of help available. If you need help with web site creation, there's Sherman Hu's blogging tutorials. If you need a coach that's experienced in all aspects of marketing, try Gregg Hall, or the PPC conversion king Perry Marshall. If you need help with SEO, there's Aaron Wall's SEO book, Planet Ocean, Search Engine Workshops and best of all... the untouchable Jerry West and his SEO Revolution. (But hurry and take advantage of that special link, before I come to my senses and take it down. ;-) So you are not alone my friends. There are plenty of experts, ready to assisit you, coach you, and train you, every step of the way. So learn all you can. Then apply what you've learned. Repeat the process and enjoy real growth and exponential success in your online business.
