It’s true, it’s not about the money.

I think it was John Thornhill I saw post on Facebook
“It’s not about how many sales you can make. It’s about how many people you can help.”

It’s very true, although I have not made a post for a while I have still been keeping busy I do have to say the last two weeks I have taken some time off to relax and empty my brain (didn’t take that long to empty) but before that I have been doing my best to help people get started and pointing them in the right direction when it comes to list building and starting them earning online.

The feedback I have had from them all has been great and the feeling is better than any of the sales emails I get. It has been hard work at times keeping everything going at the same time but well worth the effort.

If they succeed then I succeed.

Now I have not and will not charge these people a penny for helping of course and I have been on call due to time differences sometimes at 8am and have even been helping until 2am and have also at times put my own work on hold.

I did this due to the fact that these people were proven action takers. It’s one thing to add a good subscriber to your list but I gave away a report I had written to my subscribers on the condition that they added me to Skype in order to get the download link.

I found this to be a great way to find some action takers and see if I could take them to the next level and in this process I have built pages for some of them even hosted for others and got one of them who has been learning and learning without doing anything to finally take some action and start building a list.

I would like to say a big thank you to you for letting me help you and I also would like to say a big big thanks to those that have helped me as although I have not much by my standards I know how hard it can be.

Who has helped you out most online??

Everyone who is a success in Internet marketing knows this dogma by hard – you must have your own products!

However, for most people, creating content such as writing E-books, designing E-covers or writing sales letters is a nightmare.

There are another group of people who fear customer support.

Let’s examine the best ways around these 2 problems because we know that if you have your own products, you can keep 100% of the profits and build a solid customer list which will stick with you for a long time.

You can hire a virtual assistant to take care of all the support issues. This alone settles most of the support problems. If you have a good product, you can expect that half your support tickets will be reduced.

The big problem of product creation is settled with private label rights. With the private label rights to an E-book, audio file or video, you can edit the content any way you want and slap your name as the author!

Everything is already done for you.

However, not all PLR are created equal. You have to follow a trusted merchant who won’t sell you junk.

That is why I highly recommend Khai Ng’s PLR. Not only is it targeted in a lucrative, money pumping niche like self improvement and personal development, the products are also top notch and his products are purchased by big names such as David Cavanagh, Jeremy Gislason, Simon Hodgkinson, Edmund Loh, Ian Del Carmen, John Delavera and many more.

Wow, so much for SEO.

I have to start off by saying a BIG, BIG THANK YOU to a guy I met last weekend.

For those of you that don’t know, last weekend I was at the LFMpire workshop
in Bristol last weekend (can’t believe it’s been a week already)
You can check out the post about it below.

Amazing Marketing Event In Bristol

In it you will see I said there will be more about this guy later.

His name is Phil Henderson and he has a free simple system for getting top
rankings in Google in minutes (his record is 26 seconds).

Anyway Sean Beardmore, Andy Michaels and myself got talking to Phil and,
sorry to say Phil but we had never heard of you, but when he said he would
show us his system we jumped at the chance. We even missed one of the
people speaking at the event to hear what he had to say.

Not only did he teach us his system but, he also proved it works to us by
ranking a product that took over both the number 1 AND number 2 spots
on the first page of Google in 6 minutes.

You may even on reading this think he had it set up to go before we met
with him, well I would think the same in your shoes but he didn’t even
pick the product he ranked for Sean did, and I know he had not met him
earlier as I got a lift to Bristol with him.

It’s so simple it’s stupid hence the name of his site where you can watch
his free video is Stupidly Simply SEO

So why wait till now to tell you about it?

Well there was two reasons really.

Firstly, I wanted to test out Phil’s system for myslef and after a week of testing
and seeing almost all products I picked get into at least the top four in Google
I can say this system rocks.

(Note: Not all got onto the first page but that was before I had his whole VIP system
including the “how to” of choosing products to go for).

Secondly, To be honest I was thinking of keeping this to myself, well not just

myself of course but I was just being selfish in a way.
The main thing that made me share was just before writing this post as the title
says, I ranked in two minutes, cool or what eh.

It was only in the fourth position but can’t win em all not bad for a couple of
minutes work before I hit the submit button though. Now before that I will say
it took on average 40 minutes for some of the words I chose

Thank you Phil Henderson Mr Stupidly Simple SEO

Hey,

If you have never been to a marketing event, seminar
or workshop I would have to say you are missing out BIG TIME.

After the weekend I just spent in Bristol at the LFMPire event
I know that for a fact.

Not just the new contacts I have made or even all I have learnt
it is also the mindset you come away with. I met a couple of friends
Seardmore and Andy Michaels that I chat to almost daily it was
great to finally meet in person.

I also got the chance to meet and hang out with Alex Jeffreys,
Omar Martin, John Thornhill, Dave Nicholson, Paula Brett (Patsy)
Randy Smith, Cindy Battye, Sterling Valentine, Simon Leung,
Jani Ghaffor, Matt Garrett,  Sonia & Angela Panesar,
Steve Ayling,Tony Shepherd, Tony Newton, Dan Briffa,
David Chamberlain, Nikki Stephens, Jonny Andrews and not
forgetting Phil Henderson (will be more about him soon)
and that was just some of the names that were there.

It really was an eye opener when you know you could and should
be doing better and you have some of the top names saying congratulations
to you for doing so well already it makes me wonder why I have been
making things so hard for myself.

Some of the people there were not even at my level yet and had a few people
asking me how I have got to where I am. Even though I have a fair size list
and earn hundreds of dollars each month I was starting to feel like I was
getting nowhere but when the likes of Sterling Valentine and Omar Martin say
well done you are doing great, it made me realize that I am doing great and
with what I have learnt from everyone there with just a few changes I will be
doing even better.

Me AlexJeffreys

Andy Michaels, DanBriffa and Me

David Chamberlain and Me

Lots learnt, new friends made and some great fun.

Have a good week

We sould all know the importance of JV partners and
networking in general.

I think I have had that it drummed into my mind by
my mentor Alex Jeffreys.

If he had not started going to these events would
he be where he is now?

He says himself that it was at an internet marketing
event that he met Mike Filsaime, who he not only
managed to gain a lot of info from but who he then
paid to teach him.

I am glad to say I am finally going to get to an event
myself in 9 days time. On Friday May 7th till Sunday 9th.

Creativity.

This is one virtue a site must possess to lead the race in the ruthless competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized.

It doesn’t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it big. Worse of all, you business could just get killed.

While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing.

While the term Viral easily depicts a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, it is not what it seems. You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary it just might kill you. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares.

Viral Marketing Overview

Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one’s product or company. They use many forms of media to reach out to the public without actually promoting the product by riding on in other forms of addictive means that could get a person hooked and be obliged or amused to actually pass it on, with the product or company advertisement along with it.

In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product.

Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well.

Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in spreading their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with.

Using Viral Marketing to your advantage

The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company. You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.

Most every site and companies are catching on to the effectivity of Viral Marketing and Advertising. Not using it could kill your business. Along with other schemes and methods in promoting your site, like Search Engine Optimization and such, viral marketing could easily push you ahead in the rating games.

Viral Marketing could be a sneaky way to get people to know about you and your company. You get them to pass your advertisement along. They are also very low cost that not investing in it could be downright a business suicide. All it takes is a great idea, a good addicting game, a funny story many ideas are still out there. Create a gossip or a buzz, many movies are promoted by using scandals and gossips to make them moiré popular. Remember the movie “The Blair Witch Project”?

Many big companies have tried viral marketing and have had many success stories with it. A classic example is Microsoft’s Hotmail. They were the first known big company to utilize the scheme and it has worked wonders for them.

Now it’s your turn to use viral marketing to work wonders for you. Act now and reap the benefits Viral Marketing will provide for you and your sales figures.

Let me know what form of viral marketing you use.

Speak Soon,

A new mentoring program with a difference

Many new online marketers are joining programs and sites that claim to ‘mentor’ people to success, So is ‘Planetsms Digital Monthly Mentorship’ any different to so many that don’t provide value, Or is is one of the few that do?

Check Out John Thornhill’s Mentor Monthly HERE

The first thing I noted from reading his site is that John Thornhill, known on ebay as planetsms, isn’t just promoting it as another ‘make money from ebay’ type of product.
He does use his ebay id as part of his credentials as a person qualified to teach others, as well as the fact that he has authored some best selling ebooks, and is an ebay powerseller.

What he says about ‘the secret to success’ being to follow someone who is successful at internet marketing can’t be argued with, (provided they are teaching what they know and do to make money on the internet)

This monthly membership goes a lot further than just the mention of selling on ebay though.
It claims to teach exactly what John does to generate multiple streams of income from the internet marketing arena in general.

The claims made on the sales page include:

A Digital Newsletter Delivered to Your Inbox Each Month.
In which he claims to reveal methods he actually uses to make money, and admits many of them are not just from ebay.

Audio/Video Training
Which will show and ‘walk us through’ what he does and the strategies he employs.

The Tools Required to Help You Succeed.
He includes in the package the tools and private label/ brandable material he says will be needed for some one to start their own online income.

The Opportunity to Get Personal Help.
Offering to have direct contact with subscribers/members to help them where needed (but only on a limited number basis) – so I would assume this may be removed at some point?

A Monthly Question and Answer session.
Promising to answer any marketing related questions

Further ‘undefined’ help
Offering to be flexible and help as needed with other avenues of making money online such as list building, product creation, sales page building and help with ebay listings.

And Also -
Almost Guaranteed Income.
Where he is offering to promote members products to his subscriber base, in order to help generate them some sale. (I note he does have some small print in there – only promising to promote appropriate products)
This presumably covers him against any obligation to promote poor quality or non related products?

Finally his price for membership is set at $10 per month. (this is where I believe he differentiates himself from many mentoring programs I have seen – most go for the higher end price ticket – this does seem exceptional value if he lives up to his claims)

For which he also offers a money back guarantee. (presumably with it being a clickbank product – he will have had to offer such a guarantee) Never the less it is comforting that one can ‘Try’ him out without risk or fear of loss, knowing that if he doesn’t provide quality and value he would soon be out of pocket.

See The Site Here

So that’s the sales page and claims outlined, with a few comments from myself where appropriate.

As a brand new service – time will tell if he continues to provide value…
But I can say this much -

I have had access to his first Video Newsletter and can confirm that he does go into great detail of a strategy he is currently using.

He gives details of exactly how to set it up for maximum profit, with a step by step follow along video that any new marketer could easily follow. Clear and simple and with a full explanation of where he did what he did, how to do the same etc.

He then went further than expected and showed exactly how much income and sales this strategy provided from his own business and also for comparison, a new marketer with a smaller list and less experience and no product of his own.

I do believe this will help many and was sufficient to justify the first months subscription without any of the other benefits quoted.

So my conclusion so far is that I genuinely believe this could be a valuable resource and it certainly looks as though planetsms digital monthly mentorship will be a keeper for me.

My recommendation would be to join and try it out. with the money back guarantee the small $10 risk is removed.

I believe new and intermediate marketers will find value and benefit in the first issue.
And surprisingly – even many of the more experienced marketers are not using this particular strategy!

So I wouldn’t rule it out assuming the low price would mean there was nothing a successful marketer couldn’t learn.

See the sales page here

Do come back and post your comments if you found this review useful.

I have seen this question asked a few times,
so I thought I would do a quick video to see if I
could answer it for those that don’t know.

The Question is
How do I add my own image to a paypal button?

If there is anything else you are having problems in please feel free
to leave a message in the comments and I will see if I can help out
with another video.

Cheers,

Make sure to read my last post ” I’m Eating My Ugly Frog Have You Tasted Yours Yet?”
before you jump into this post otherwise you will be wondering what I am talking about.

You up to speed now?

Great, this post came about after I had one of my subscribers, who quite rightly was sick
off people saying the same old thing to try and gain his trust. In fact his words were -

“I know that your job is to gain my trust”

He wanted to have a rant and I guess my email address was as good as any, and since I
send a welcome email that lets them know they are more than just a number and give
them a personal email address he felt he could have a vent at me.

Don’t get me wrong he was not having a go at me personally just internet marketers in
general but he did ask a question that I felt deserved a response from me.
(I also told him it would be my next blog post so thanks for getting in touch.)

Here’s a little of what he said

“I was reading your blog about “eating the ugly frog first”
(love that title by the way!) But what if you do not know how to eat the frog in the first
place?

I mean how to you make your own report,and make it a really good one. I am not a great
writer, and my grammar skills are poor at best. And worse I do not even know how to
situate it all.

I know about buying plr articles and so forth, but I have no clue how to put the report
together, its very confusing to me.

Oh well,
just felt like venting.”

So all fair enough I say. Others might get emails like this and think ah well another
complainer and delete it, but I saw this as a cry for help.

This is someone who like most needs to be shown the way and I guess it’s easy to
forget how hard it is to get started and how easy it is to buy into all the hype and
all the get rich quick schemes out there.

So my reply below was longer than I expected to write to him.

“I can understand where you are coming from when you
say you no longer buy it, we have all been at that
point but it is because of that reason that I do
want to help people.

Everyone is getting sick of hearing the same thing
over and over, the thing that changed for me was
thinking about the emails I always open without fail.

The reason I open them is not because of a good catchy
subject line or anything like that, the reason is down
to the name of the sender. The emails I open every time
they send are from the people that have helped me and
I want to be one of the people that gets their emails
opened every time by helping out others.

Anyway back to the frog

My grammar sucks big time and I think the thing I use
the most is spell check. The way I am going to get
around this is to give it to someone else to check out
first.

The first things you need to start with is a pen an
some paper.

Note down all the things you could write a report about,
once you have chosen your subject you need to think about
what exactly you want to tell them and work from the end
result backwards by thinking how you are going to break it down.

Use every different part of what you want to tell them as
chapters. Instead of thinking of the whole report you now
have nice easy chunks to work on.

For instance, you say you know about buying plr article.

How about a report about

“Product Creation Made Easy”

Introduction – Tell them how easy it is to create a product.
Chapter 1 – about using plr article to create a product.
Chapter 2 – Where they can find plr articles.
chapter 3 – Putting it all together(just a case of using the right
article in order so it runs smoothly).
chapter 4 – review of what you have just told them.
Resources – The sites they can get the plr from.

Once you have it down like this do a bit of research if you need to

It’s not about getting it perfect, it’s about getting it done
once you have done it once it will get easier.(so I am told)
It does not have to be the greatest or longest report in the world.

As I said, This is my ugly frog so it’s not easy for me to
do. If it was easy everyone would do it.

But just by the fact that you sent me an email asking about
it means that you are already a few steps ahead of the people
that say I can’t do that, It’s that attitude of finding a way
to do it rather than just avoiding it that will get to where
you want to be.

Bit longer than I expected to write there but might have my
next blog post from this.

Vent away anytime you like Joe if you want any help or want
to run some ideas past me my Skype is james.howard11

How’s that for going the extra mile and wanting to help.

Thanks for the comments about my blog, I just try to be me
be sure to leave a comment next time you visit though eh.

All the best and get in touch when you need to, or if you just
feel like venting.

James”

He has been back in touch to thank me and I have sent another email
so see if I could help him further. As I know I could have gone into a bit more
detail but I wanted to get the basics across.

Tell me, How do YOU deal with emails like that?

Do you reply or dismiss?
And yes I know my skype is still in there but we are here to help, just bare
in mind I am but one man.
