Internet Marketing Tips

Dan Kennedy is Going REAL Crazy


I’ll be honest, ______, I think these guys are showing symptoms of crazy?

I’ve seen promotional contests before, but giving away a $5174 Dan Kennedy library of books, DVDs and
CDs for fr*ee
?

I mean this man is one of the reasons (in some cases, the BIG reason) for the successes of:
John Reese, Ewen Chia, Russell Brunson, Yanik Silver, Carl Galletti, Jeff Paul, Ken McCarthy and too
many others.

Dan Kennedy really IS the “guru’s guru”.

He consults to 9-figure (ie: 100 million) and even billion dollar companies.

His fees are over $10,000 per day.

92% of his clients are repeat customers (meaning what he is giving them as advice is making them a tonne of money so they come back to him for more).

Yet now all of his best strategies are up for grabs.

According to the site, there are 3 cartons, weighing over 100lbs needed to box up all of his products.
That’s probably over $100-$200 JUST IN SHIPPING COSTS.

Yet these guys have a contest going where they will send you those 3 cartons for fr*ee AND cover the shipping (this cost’s you NOTHING, no purchase necessary either!) …

If you’d like to study the material that the biggest names online are paying top dollar for, then enter the contest on this page (scroll half way down for full details)

How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!


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

At least… that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

Now let’s move onto…


DELUXE VIDEOS
*************************************************

Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and
has more content than most 300 dollar home study
courses. And did I mention that it’s free?

If you decide that you want to continue your
education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you
can also upgrade to the deluxe course for a small fee.
The deluxe course contains four full-length videos
that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here’s a breakdown of each video:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When you think about all the ’stuff’ you can do to
drive traffic to your site, it’s hard to know what you
should focus on first. This video will walk you
through the four most important marketing activities
you can do to drive traffic to your mini site.

Once you master these four, you’ll never have to
wonder what you should do when you start a new mini
site. You’ll have an easy-to-follow road map for
driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so
you can begin making money ASAP!

*************************************************
VIDEO 16 - MAKE MAXIMUM PROFITS FROM YOUR MINI SITE
*************************************************

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

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

In this video, you’ll learn:

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

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

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

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

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

Which Article Submitter is Enough?


While article submission isn’t anything shockingly new to the world of SEO, many people STILL don’t do it… and for good reason. It takes so incredibly long to do manually.

I’ll admit, I had tried article submission at one point, but after I finally found a few article dircetories to submit my articles to, and then after manually copying and pasting my information into the required textboxes on each submission site, I quickly realized that my time could be better spent doing something else.

Then I came across a free program created by Brad Callen and Bryxen Software, Inc. that allows you to automatically submit your articles to hundreds of article directories with a few mouse clicks. Basically all I had to do was input my article criteria into the software, ONCE! Then, the program would automatically fill in all of the required data at each of the submission websites. Pretty incredible if you ask me.

The only part I didn’t understand was why the program is free… but I can’t argue with that I suppose.

The software currently contains around 700 article directories, all free to submit your articles to. It is the most straightforward program that we’ve come across, in that all you need to do is:

1. Input your article details (i.e. title, article body, bio, etc.) into the software

2. Click on the directory you want to submit to

And then the program will automatically fill in your article details. Then, you simply click the submit button and your article is instantly submitted to the directory. Then, you can move to the next directory, go through the list, and by the time you’re finished you’ll have roughly 700 one way links pointing to your website.

I can’t think of an easier way to get links. Of course, if you’re going to get links this quickly, it’s important to submit different variations of your articles, to make things look more natural to the search engines.

You can do this very easily via Article Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.

The software is constantly being updated and their is an incredible community of users established that all work together to make the software better and better, so you know you’re getting great value for the money.

The Death of Information Marketing


This is not a normal FREE report.

This is not a introduction chapter so that you will be sold for complete chapter.

This is not another cheap and hype information that will make you sick.

This is a VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION that you don’t want to miss.

Don’t wait, because it is THAT IMPORTANT!


Are you too busy?


Sometimes, we just can’t find time to put everything together, right?

It is always in our to do list, but never seems to be finished, eventhough we have put it on our priority.

2 days ago when I browsed easy to start business model, I meet this site that promise me a complete original website that I can claim as my own.


STOP!!! Don’t Repeat 5 Costly Viral eBook Mistakes (part 3)


4. Another thing is this … always have your carriers do the branding.

You want to automate the process as much as possible.

Again, I learned the hard way.

Early on, before there were all of these branding tools available, I hand customized each ebook.

And as they began to spread, the customization requests grew to be way too much for me to handle. I was spending most of my day putting together these customized viral ebooks for each new person that requested a copy.

That had to change and so now I use branding tools and branding instructions. I give them to anyone who wants to customize the ebook and I let THEM do the work.

Keeps me out of the loop completely.
So, unless you have some specific reason to do it yourself, place that responsibility onto the ones who want to distribute the viral ebooks.

5. One more thing I want to share. Always launch new browser windows with your links in your ebooks.

Whenever you link to a site within your viral eBook content, always remember to code that link to launch a new browser window when the reader clicks on it.

I learned this the hard way.
There are many scripts involved in the order-taking process at online credit card processing sites.

And many of those have caused glitches in the eBook due to the software the eBook was created with and it crashes the eBook, making it impossible to order.

So, what happens is this.

You do your job well.

The content is great.

You’ve got a hungry customer waiting to buy.


They click on a recommended product link.
They arrive at the site still inside your eBook window.

They click on the order link and the entire thing shuts down.

I mean completely shuts down the ebook and website altogether.

And, in some cases, it even crashes the computer.
You just lost a customer because two sets of code didn’t like each other.

That has happened to me on MANY different occasions in some of my early ebooks.

Now when someone clicks on your link, a new browser window will launch outside of the eBook itself before taking them to the website.

Now, you’re safe.

You can thank me later.


Viral eBooks are tremendous tools. But, there are also some pitfalls associated with them.

I’ve just shared five of the mistakes that I have made.

There is just no way of measuring how much profit I have lost over the years due to those errors.

There wasn’t a manual available to tell me how to do it. History hadn’t really been recorded at that time to tell me what to stay away from and what to make sure I did in order to protect myself from problems.

So, you’re getting something that I didn’t have.

Aren’t ya happy? ?

In all seriousness, don’t make the mistakes that I made.

History doesn’t need to repeat itself on this one.

I wish you much success online and in all of your life. Go, and do well.


STOP!!! Don’t Repeat 5 Costly Viral eBook Mistakes (part 2)


2. Another thing is you want to avoid using dated information by providing too specific details.

Affiliate program A may not be offering that free 30 day trial offer very much longer.

The price for admission to that special site may not always be $29.95.

That site that was “just released last week” may have become an all-time classic by the time Bob reads your viral ebook two years after it was released.


3. Another no-no is to never put any information into your ebook that you don’t want all over the world.

These things travel folks and they can be global in a matter of days and certainly over time you can easily have a worldwide audience.

I made the mistake of putting my cell phone number in one of my earlier ebooks because everyone claimed that if I didn’t have my contact information in there, no one would buy from me… which is nonsense I might add.

Anyway, I started getting all kinds of calls at all hours of the day.

What was 3:00 in the afternoon in the Philippines was 3:00 in the morning where I live.

So, it was a nuisance.

Kind of a funny story came out of it.

I disconnected that number, of course, and got a new one. That was almost 2 years ago.

Well, about a month or so ago I had a lady email me and she was hopping mad.

Apparently, she had ordered a cellular phone and got my old number… and folks were still calling!

She told me that she was getting calls from England and all over looking for me and they were running her cellular bill up with charges.

She wanted me to do something about it and all I could do was tell her “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do.”

With viral marketing, it’s pretty much unstoppable, which is why it is so effective. It keeps spreading and it’s hard to stop the growth once it gets going.

So, never put anything into your ebook that you don’t want the world to know and use.

Celebrity Side Dish: Akon not running to help solve financial crisis


Tuesday, October 28th 2008, 4:00 AM


- Akon's good with a dollar, but the hip-hopper "wouldn't want the job of leading Wall Street back into the black," he chuckled at Denise Rich's Angel gala at Cipriani's. "Plus, I'd have to deal with President Bush on that. I could handle him, though. I've dealt with bigger gangsters than him."

- Celeb chef and kitchen hunk Tyler Florence has some advice on how to stomach bad

holiday meals. "Just take a bite, smash it around a little bit on the plate and then you can stop," the gourmand told us at the Bon Appetit Supper Club event for the Joyful Hearts Foundation. "Or you can subscribe to my son's method of keeping the family dog nearby. When he thinks no one's looking, he sneaks the dog a treat!" For a peak at Tyler's favorite dishes, check out his new book, "Stirring the Pot."

- Famed photog Mark Seliger says Kurt Cobain didn't listen to his sage advice when he shot Nirvana for a Rolling Stone c

over in 1992. The band was told to come wearing plain clothing, but Cobain arrived with "Corporate Magazines Still Suck" scrawled on his T-shirt. The photo is featured in the brand-new "Mark Seliger: The Music Book," along with unseen snaps of Justin Timberlake, June Carter, Lauryn Hill and U2.

- Kiehl's might want to rethink throwing parties at its Third Ave. store. Elle magazine honcho Anne Slowey, host of CW's "Stylista," told guests like Eve and Kate Lanphear to take whatever they wanted from the shelves at a bash for the show's premiere.



Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and wife expecting second child


Sunday, October 26th 2008, 9:20 PM


The Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and his wife, Jordyn Blum, are expecting their second child.

A rep for Grohl confirmed the happy news Sunday to USmagazine.com and People.com, but offered no details on the due date.

Grohl, 39, and Blum are alr

eady the parents of daughter Violet Maye, who was born April 15, 2006.

The Grammy Award-winning musician was known for playing tunes for Violet before she was born. He has said she "likes the Beatles. Doesn't really get down to the Beach Boys. Digs Mozart."

Grohl came to fame as the drummer for epochal Seattle band Nirvana. After the suicide of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, he

went on to form Foo Fighters in 1995.

Grohl and Blum have been married since August 2003.

John Paul Jones confirms Led Zeppelin revival
however it won't be with Robert Plant
John Paul Jones, bass player with the legendary rock group Led Zeppelin was one of the guests of the Manson's Guitar Show held over two days in Exeter, Devon last weekend.

Jones was there to answer a Q&A s ession, which he concluded by playing a couple of numbers to an excited audience of Led Zeppelin fans. After discussing the formation of the band, the origin of the band's name, his favourite riffs, their song-writing process, and his more recent work as a producer, he finally confirmed reports that the rest of the band - following their one off appearance at O2 Arena, London last year - were itching to get out on the road.

He confirmed that Robert Plant, the band's original lead singer, would be unlikely to join them, as he was committed to his work with Alison Krauss, although they could be reunited with him in "a couple of years."

In the meantime, the band who now comprise of Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham (son of the original drummer, John), who John Paul Jones referred to as useful 'archivist' of how Led Zeppelin played their songs live, were looking for a new frontman before hopefully taking to the road.

John Paul Jones said, "As you probably know, Jimmy, Jason and I are actually rehearsing and we've had the odd singer come in and have a bash. As soon as we know — which we don't — we will let you know. But we really hope that something is going to happen soon because we really want to do it and we're having a lot of f un, actually, just rehearsing. Jason is actually tremendous... And what we've done so far sounds absolutely fantastic. When it does come, it will come, and you'll know about it."

He then added, "We really wanna do something and Robert doesn't want to do this, at least for the moment. I don't really know what his plans are. He really doesn't want to make loud music anymore. We do. I mean, I love acoustic music, but it doesn't stop me from turning something up." Jones also indicated during the interview that there could well be a DVD of the O2 show released.

The Mansons Guitar Show showcased some of the latest technology in the music world, and guests included Jim Marshall, who founded the amplifier company, Justin Hawkins former lead singer of The Darkness with his new band Hot Leg, JJ Burnell from The Stranglers, Jas Morris a former Guitarist of the Year winner, Jethro Tull's Martin Barre, and Aziz Ibrahim of the Stone Roses.

Feeder tour bus destroyed by fire



The band were not travelling in the destroyed bus




The tour crew of rock band Feeder had a lucky escape when the bus they were travelling in exploded minutes after they had evacuated it.

The 13 men were being driven from a gig in Glasgow to the next venue in Lincoln early on Saturday morning when their driver noticed a problem with the bus.

Manager Matt Page said that, shortly after the men were evacuated, there was "a fireball" which destroyed the bus.

Band members were safely sleeping at a hotel in Lincoln, he added.

The incident happened at about 0400 BST on the M62 motorway, near Saddleworth Moor, in Lancashire.


Miles away'


"The driver of the crew bus saw something untoward coming out of the rear of his vehicle, pulled over to check and there was smoke and flames all over the place," said Mr Page.

"There were 13 men on board asleep in their bunks - he dug them all out and a few minutes later there was a fireball.

"Obviously, all possessions and laptops and all sorts of things all burnt to a cinde

r."

He said the blaze, which led to the temporary closure of a stretch of the motorway, was put out by a fire crew but that the bus was destroyed.

"They were very fortunate indeed," he added.

Because all their personal possessions were destroyed in the fire, sports shop JD Sports, in Lincoln, had "kitted them all out" with clothes on Saturday.

The band were "many miles away" from the incident because they had travelled on a separate bus, Mr Page added.

Feeder, formed in 1992 and fronted by lead singer Grant Nicholas, have released s

ix studio albums with five making the UK top 10.

Their latest album, Silent Cry, released in June this year, went to number eight in the UK.
