I love teaching and sharing what I have learned with others in order to fulfill my purpose as defined by my personal mission statement which is: “To sow increase into the lives of others by co-creating wealth and abundance.” Helping others create success online is a great way for me to make this ideal a reality.

Last week Brian Schilling, co-founder of Family Networker and a new friend invited me to guest host his weekly show on Talk Marketing Now Network (TMN). I really enjoyed hosting the show and I found the audience to very engaged. A quick survey revealed that most in attendees where intermediate to advanced marketers along with several newer marketers. At the end of the night it was clear to me that this was a group that I would love to get to know better.

What I liked about the group was the fact that everyone in the room was open minded and more interested in learning by sharing their “actual” experiences rather than trying to impress the other members in the room. This creates a fertile environment for growth and people walk away with actionable information that truly helps them inch closer to success. It is fun to share and teach a room of open minded marketers.

The following day I spoke with George Sepich the founder of Talk Marketing Now Network and is a respected marketer. Again, I was impressed and had a great conversation with George which concluded with an agreement that I would become the newest host on TMN. I see this as a huge opportunity to add value to the academy and gain value from the community… an opportunity for expansion.

Beginning on Wednesday November 2nd and into the foreseeable future, I will host a new training show at Talk Marketing Now called “Mega Money List-building and my focus will be the broad subject of list-building. During every session I will cover a full range of subjects to help you build a mega list including mindset, business funnels, sales funnels, tactics, monetization, resources, tools and much more.

The training sessions at the Talk Marketing Now Network are free to attend and the classroom can be accessed by visiting: http://www.TalkMarketingNow.com

I am inviting you to join me every  Monday at 7:00 PM EST to learn how to build a mega list and discover how to create automated income streams as a natural outgrowth from your responsive list. The sessions will include both formal instruction as well as casual conversation among the attendees with lively Q&A sessions. My objective is to help you walk away with actionable knowledge that you can apply to your business immediately.

I am here to help you succeed and this is just another place where I can add value for you.

Have a blessed day!

Guess what I am giving myself for my Birthday?

My birthday is coming at the end of November and I have been thinking about doing something really audacious, a real BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOAL (BHAG) to both celebrate my birthday and grow my businesses. I have long considered myself to be a big thinker… I am saying this for no other reason than to point out that big means BIG!

So, what am I giving myself for my birthday? How about one new income site a day for 30 days… yes, thirty new sites designed to provide value for my customers, subscribers, and followers. I am pulling together 30 of my best unused domain names and a couple that I picked up from the best aged domain source and putting sites on them in November.

I am a big believer in the idea of practicing what I preach and I preach two core concepts, think big and take one daily action that brings you closer to your ultimate goal. As I thought about what I could do to make the month special (I usually don’t), I felt that this would be the best way to provide value for others, lead by example, and advance 30 steps closer to my ultimate objective.

There are several objectives being met through this crazy “little” project:

1. Take massive daily action to grow a sustainable business

2. Fully leveraging my assets… these are really great domains

3. Solving problems and providing value for my customers and members

4. Proving to myself that I can focus on daily actions and create something significant

I will blog about this daily in order to share each new site with you and certainly share a business lesson or two at the same time. About one one third of these sites are partially finished, so in a few cases you may have seen the site before, unaware that it really wasn’t finished. A site is not complete unless it is properly structured, optimized for SEO, loaded with value, and fully monetized to ensure that you provide the value that leads to a successful website.

Today, I shared this project with the attendees and 6 members have agreed to become my daily accountability partners, it is great to make your big goals public for this purpose. Kaye Towne, Lael Johnson, Laurie Shepherd, Lori Sivage, Marilyn Martin, and Kay Brasher will encourage me and nudge me along… I am very grateful for their support and friendship.

Please be sure to follow me over the next 30 days and I hope you will take the time to visit each site and share your comments on the site or below the blog post. I am here to help you succeed and I believe this very public BHAG will prove to be educational.

Have a blessed day!

They embarked on a trip of a lifetime visiting the United States to renew their wedding vows, visit a elderly relative, and meet many of their fellow traffic exchange owners across the Western United States.

Learn How to Master Traffic Exchanges with Robert Puddy

I am often asked where is a good place to learn exactly how to use traffic exchanges efficiently and how to track results. Robert Puddy has created a phenomenal no non-sense traffic training course by Internet Marketer Robert Puddy, the course is titled “Hidden Traffic Formula” and is presented in a 7  videos and 5 downloadable manuals. The home study course has been completely sold out, but you can still access 100% of the content in digital format and instant download.

I am sharing this site as a valuable resource for anyone who would like to learn how to use one of the best free or low cost methods of advertising online. Robert has a very straight forward approach to teaching and he is considered by may successful marketer to be “the mentors, mentor.” In this video series you will learn the mindset, hidden resources, and exact tactics used by Robert, other top marketers, and me – to create unstoppable traffic.

Here is an overview of the Videos Series:

Video # 1. Anatomy of a Splash Page

Video #2. Knowing Your Audience

Video #3. The Journey Begins

Video #4. Monetisation

Video #5. Keeping On Track

Video #6. On The Trail

Video #7. Dominating Traffic Exchanges

Here is an overview of the Manuals (Workbooks):

Manual # 1. The Lost World – What difference would it make to your online business efforts, if you could live in a world of steady and voluminous traffic, made up of targeted and curious customers? I am betting life would be outstanding.

Introduction, The history, Evolution, Heroes and Villains, Myths, 16 Week Action Plan, Commitment, Quiz

Manual # 2. The Training Begins – Learning from your mistakes is one way to go but… it’s a whole lot quicker and a lot less painful to learn from the experience of others instead.

Manual # 5. Black Hat – The final book in this course is going to teach you how to use your Hidden Traffic strategies to cheat, steal and break the law. Not so that you can amass ill-gotten wealth, but rather to allow you to protect yourself against those that delight in taking advantage of the naive and inexperienced.

Don’t Even Think About It, Evil Surfers, Down-line Deceit, The Execrable Exchange, Adsense Nonsense, Petty Theft, Pay Pal Sucks (not really), Amateur Hour, Quiz

Testimonial:

“I didn’t meet Robert until October 2006. I have a feeling if I had met him earlier, I’d had been working a lot less a long time ago. There are very few people in IM that have really taught me and changed my business, and Robert is one of those few.” - Liz Tomey

Effective use of traffic systems is the cornerstone for your success online. Quit frankly, this course is a bit of a best kept secret and I was thrilled that Robert shared it with me, so I could share it with you. Be sure to watch the videos carefully and complete each quiz to ensure that you have grasped these strategies.

I am here to help you succeed and I believe this series will help you brand yourself, grow your list, and convert consistent sales all using targeted, free, and very low cost traffic.

Have a blessed day!

 Steve Jobs slipped away from us, what did he mean to Tech and you?

“Your time is limited. Don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs

I was deeply saddened by the news that Steve Jobs, co-founder of  Apple Computer, Inc., NEXT Computer, Pixar Entertainment, among other brands had lost his 8 year battle with Pancreatic Cancer and moved on to the next phase of his journey. More than creating great companies Steve Jobs changed the way we live and the way in which we engage with technology to improve our lives.

The news was reported with four simple words “Steve Jobs has died,” and it is fitting that millions learned of his death on a variety of devices that he by large measure created… what a legacy. I do not know much about the private Steve Jobs and will leave it to others more qualified to speak to his personal life. I wanted to share with you here some of the most insightful thoughts and comments I have found in the past few hours since learning of his death. I know you will enjoy these expressions.

 Jack Welch – Former CEO General Electric

 

 CNN Video All Rights Reserved

Chris Pirillo – Founder of Locker Gnome and GnomeDex

Note the audio problem is corrected at the 45 second mark in the video

 Chris Pirillo and Locker Gnome All Rights Reserved

Video is powerful and I found these two among the most poignant in expressing the magnitude of loss of such a talent. Here are a collection of quotes that I also found to be moving, powerful, and profound.

What have those who knew him best  and others have said?

“Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family. In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness.” — Steve Jobs’ family

“We’ve lost something we won’t get back. The way I see it, though, the way people love products he put so much into creating means he brought a lot of life to the world.” — Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak

“Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world and talented enough to do it.” (more)  “There may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.” — President Barack Obama

“Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.” — Apple’s board of directors.
“For those of us lucky enough to get to work with Steve, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.” — Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates

“Steve was such an ‘original,’ with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started. With his passing the world has lost a rare original, Disney has lost a member of our family, and I have lost a great friend.” — The Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger

“Steve Jobs was an extraordinary visionary, our very dear friend and the guiding light of the Pixar family. He saw the potential of what Pixar could be before the rest of us, and beyond what anyone ever imagined. Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply ‘make it great.’” — Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios chief creative officer John Lasseter and president Ed Catmull

“Today, we lost one of the most influential thinkers, creators and entrepreneurs of all time. Steve Jobs was simply the greatest CEO of his generation. While I am deeply saddened by his passing, I’m reminded of the stunning impact he had in revolutionizing the way people consume media and entertainment.” — News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch

“Today the world lost a visionary leader, the technology industry lost an iconic legend and I lost a friend and fellow founder. The legacy of Steve Jobs will be remembered for generations to come.” — Dell Inc. founder and CEO Michael Dell

“I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazing brilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google’s are with his family and the whole Apple family.” — Google CEO Larry Page

 My final thoughts and Personal Expression

There are thousands of expressions on the internet from people from all walks of life and from around the world. I agree with the view that Steve Jobs was a modern day Thomas Edison and was certainly a once in a generation innovator who transformed every industry he influenced and in doing so changed our world… he made it smaller.

I view his death as profoundly sad given his age and a remarkable life which he might have enjoyed for many more decades. I also recognize the loss of innovation and the thought of what might have been but never will be. His vision, creativity, and influenced are lost to future generations and that loss is immeasurable.

I also wish to offer my personal condolences to Steve Jobs’ family knowing the we have lost much and but they have lost much more. Thank you for the gift you have given the world by sharing his life and talents with us and supporting his desire to make personal sacrifices to fully realize his many visions. I am very grateful.

Please feel free to share this post with others and add your own expressions by scrolling below this post to the comments field. I look forward to reading your thoughts and experiences with Steve Jobs and all that he has given you.

What is the Best Online Business Model for You?

I am often asked what is the best model to use when starting a business online and the simple answer is the one that works for you. Sounds logical but the best answer requires a bit more explanation along with a few examples of the core types of businesses you should consider.

Here are five core business models for you to explore:

1.) Business Opportunities (Biz Opps)

• Direct Sales including top tier programs
• Network Marketing and Multi-Level Marketing
• Matrix Programs (Not money games, but programs with legitimate products that add value)
• Cash Gifting (I have never been convinced to try this model, but others who have done well here)

2.) Affiliate Marketing (My Personal Favorite)

• Big Ticket Programs
• Program Launches
• Continuity Programs
• Evergreen Products and Services

3.) Information Marketing

• Clickbank
• Private Label Rights (PLR) and Master Re-Sell Rights (MRR)
• Create Viral PDF Reports
• Market Across Multiple Niches
• Audio and Video Products

4.) Membership Sites

Product Sites

Service Oriented Sites (Traffic, Advertising, Design, SEO and more)

Continuity Programs (Training and Resources)

Social Communities

5.) Auctions Online Sales

Flippa

I recorded a new podcast episode that addresses each of the core models along with additional insight and advice. Here is my show player… click the start button and be sure to take notes.

 How to Select the Best Business Model for You

Assuming that you are clear on your objectives and the motivation behind your desire to start your business you should be able to build your business around one of these core models. As your experience grows you may venture into more than model as I have done… this is my advice as long as you maintain discipline in running your businesses.

10 Action Steps to Help You Achieve Success with Traffic Exchanges

I had the pleasure yesterday to conduct a guest training at Janet and Don Legere’s Saturday web-conference. I always welcome any opportunity to work with Janet Legere because she is a true professional with a passion to help her followers build sustainable businesses. If I can contribute to her mission in some small way… count me in!

To make it even better the topic of our training was “how to master traffic exchanges” and we had a group of 55 dedicated home-based business owners and Internet marketers who decided to invest their time and join us. It was a tremendous hour long session and I appreciate all of the great feedback that I have read in the blogs and I am glad that Janet, Don and I were able to provide value to the attendees.

Recorded Saturday September 17, 2011

I highly recommend Janet Legere’s Weekly Training

Be sure to take notes as you watch the video and take action on what you learn. The key to making web-conferences and other trainings work is to take massive action and apply what you have learned. Never be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone or  fear failure. Action wins over perfection every time!

Here are the 10 Traffic Exchange Mastery Tips I shared in the conference:

1. Master 5 traffic exchanges at a time by setting up your profile, downline builder, ads – websites, banners, text, manage your credits
2. Always use Tracking Links
3. Always use Rotators
4. Budget 1500 to 3000 credits per month per exchange, you want you sites in rotation 24/7 and 365
5. Promote your exchanges to build downlines in the exchange and earn more credits
6. Fund your upgrades and credits from commissions earned
7. Test and adapt your campaigns and ads based on conversions
8. Leverage the social sites to build relationships and extend your brand
9. Use time management tools they save you time and money
10. Consistently add new exchanges as you master those you have joined

As I said in previous post, I owe much of my successes to key relationships I have formed in conference rooms and I hope this recording courtesy of Janet and Don will help you achieve similar results. Please take a few moments to scroll down to the bottom of this post and share your comments.

I am here to help you succeed in business and life!
