Apple Facebook Perry Marshall and Drew Bischof FaceBook Fast Track Video

Many of you might recall that I posted an article last winter about Perry Marshall’s 2010 edition of The Definitive Guide to Google Adwords. Here is what I said at the time:

I am recommending Perry Marshall’s “The Definitive Guide to Google Adwords 2010 Edition” to all of my coaching students, associates, reader of my blog, and listeners of my podcast. As an affiliate of Perry Marshall’s programs, I also recommend this as a great affiliate product to add to your portfolio as it can save those who follow your advice an recommendation thousands of dollars in mis-guided campaigns and earn them considerable profits in exchange.”

The bottom line is that I was right, the slaps continued in 2010 and many marketers abandoned or should I say were forced to find alternatives for their pay per click campaigns. Several top marketers have chosen Facebook and the bottom line is they are right.

Consider the Facts:

  • Facebook has grown to over 540 million users in 6 years
  • Facebook receives 570 billion page views per month, which is 35% of all web traffic
  • Facebook is visited a multiple of 8x more than the #2 site on the Internet
  • Facebook’s average visitor spends 44.6 minutes per day on their site

Drew Bischof has been working with Perry Marshall for the past three years, studying Facebook and developing strategies to help marketers tackle the next marketing frontier, Facebook pay per click advertising. The result is the definitive course on Facebook marketing and the release of three free videos that are content rich and provide real guidance on how you can capitalize on the trend toward Facebook.

The videos are free, the first is provided without an opt in, so there are no strings attached. In the first video Drew lays the foundation and will open your eyes to several solid concepts and I predict you will have at least one “ah ha” moment, I had two. I recommend watching the first video and if you see value here you can access the  remaining videos for free.

After watching the first video I posted the following comment to the accompanied blog and it sums up my impressions of the video and all that is to follow in the series. I recognize the value and impact of Facebook’s emergence and I also see the opportunity it represents. Regardless of where you are in the development of your social media strategy, I would heed the advice of those who conquered the last frontier, Google’s AdWords program.

 Perry Marshall and Drew Bischof FaceBook Fast Track Video James Holmes @ 6:35 pm

Drew -

Awesome video both in terms of style and (especially) content. What I appreciate most is that you are not just presenting a nice package without a prize inside. It seems obvious, but my feeling that if the free content is this good … I can’t wait to see what is in the actual course.

There is no doubt that Facebook is a real player now, especially given all of the recent “marketer slaps.” I don’t blame them as their priority is the search experience for their customer. As marketers we have to simply work within the limits of their terms of service and look for alternatives. Facebook sounds like a good choice to me.

Thank you … awesome!

Be sure to post a comment and share your thoughts.

I am here to help you succeed.

Have a blessed day!

List Recon by Solomon Huey A Review

list recon solomon huey1 List Recon by Solomon Huey A Review

Over the past couple of years, I have taught about the importance of building your list and leveraging traffic exchanges, safelist, and viral down-line builders to establish your brand and create automated income streams. One of the biggest problems many new and intermediate marketers face is that they have no list, no traffic, no sales and therefore no revenue.

List Recon is a brand E-Course and Membership Site developed by Solomon Huey that offers sound advice on how to overcome and finally solve both of these problems. Solomon Huey, is a highly respected and popular Internet Marketer who has learned to leverage simple yet effective strategies to create a thriving full-time online business and he loves to show others how he did it.

I just finished reading through the course and reviewing the membership website the you will gain access to as a free member. It is worth signing up for a free account and carefully reading the e-course. It is easy to understand, well thought-out, 100% consistent with the strategies I teach, and it will produce results if you follow through step by step. You can use what you learn to marketing anything you are currently market online.

Follow this link and grab your free account:

Free List Recon E-Course Membership

Here’s some of the stuff you get for joining as a free member:

* Information packed 29-page list building and traffic generation report
* The secret to getting over 200 visitors an hour for free
* Easy to understand video tutorials that show you everything step-by-step
* High converting squeeze pages to build your list
* Professionally written auto-responder series
* Top quality and high paying affiliate program
* Some ridiculous bonuses valued at more than $485

There are two ways you can look at this course, the first is strictly for your own education with actionable tools to help you make money from what you learn. Secondly, you can use this as a “done for you” sales funnel by marketing this program as an affiliate, which I am doing and recommend that you do the same as everything you need is provided. Once you sign up all of the details concerning re-branding the report with your affiliate links and additional marketing resources will be provided to you.

So let me give you a little feedback for review about why I feel so strongly about this e-course and sales funnel.

The format of the e-course and membership site couldn’t be more user friendly, the e-book is easy to read and the information is given in a very clear and concise manner, you do not have to be an Internet marketing guru to understand what Solomon is teaching you. The membership site itself has bite sized videos to guide you step by step in order to put what you learn into immediate action.

As a marketing funnel the program is real and it will convert based on Solomon’s reputation as a successful marketer and the topics covered in the course. It is also very inexpensive to upgrade which is one of the many ways in which you will make money by giving the membership away. There will always be a percentage of people who sign up for free, that will see the value in the modest cost to upgrade (about the same as buying a large pizza) for all of the additional benefits and increased commissions. So you will make money sharing this site.

List Recon actually over delivers on all  of Solomon’s promises and I fully endorse this amazing course. This could easily be a paid product and thousands would gladly purchase it, but there are many who would miss out and continue to struggle online. The mission behind this course is to provide the value to you free and if you chose to make money sharing it, providing a low cost opportunity to create an unlimited income stream through the upgrade.

I highly recommend it and consider it a must join program using this link:

Be sure to leave a comment and I hope you decide to join us on this journey.

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

Social Media Icon Set 1 How to Leverage Public Relations and Social Media

I am easily inspired… that’s right, easily inspired by great ideas and strategies that will help me grow my business by helping others become successful. Yesterday, I interview one of my dearest online friends and business associates Tatyana Gann aka “Russian Diva” on the topic of Social Media 2.0 – listen to the reply here: Public Relations 2.0 Featuring Tatyana Gann

The interview was filled with great information and several resources to help you utilize public relations regardless of the size of your business or level of experience. I encourage you to listen to the show and take lots of notes, it was a content packed interview.

I would like to share a few thoughts of my own on the topic of how to leverage public relations and social media to drive traffic and build your list.

First, what is public relations?

Public Relations (or PR) is a field concerned with maintaining public image for high-profile people, commercial businesses and organizations, non-profit associations or programs. - wikipedia.org

Public Relations (PR) a promotion intended to create goodwill for a person or institution. – wordnetweb.princeton.edu

Second, what is social media?

Social Media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media use web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social media dialogues. - wikipedia.org

Social Media are primarily Internet- and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. [1] The term most often refers to activities that integrate technology, telecommunications and social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. - creativemediafarm.com

Methods to Leverage Social Media

1. Use “Third Party Endorsements” and “Social Proof” to Influence Your Audience

2. Use Traditional Media to Build Preeminence in Your Market

3. Use Public Relations to Drive Content to Your Social Media Networks

4. Use Social Media to Target Your Audience for News Releases

5. Use Social Media to Manage and Support Your Public Relations Campaigns and Manage Your Brand

Ways Which Public Relations Supports Your Brand

1. Provides a Proactive Method to Control Messages About You and Your Business

2. Provides You with a Platform to Establish One Way Communication with Your Online Audience

3. Provides a Funnel for You to Direct New Readers and Established Followers ANYWHERE on the Internet that You Desire

4. Provides a Platform to Manage What Others are Saying About You

5. Provides Your Brand Notoriety and Familiarity in Your Marketplace

In the coming days I will be posting a video presentation that will explain these strategies in much greater detail along with a list of resources that will allow you to effectively execute your own leveraged public relations and social media strategy.

Here are a few resources you may want to review as I will share some tips on these time saving results producing resources in the tools:

1. Hostgator – Website Hosting Discount Coupon Code: askjamesholmes

2. Scribe – SEO Plug in to optimize your content

3. SpyFu – To conduct keyword research in your niche

4. Tatyan Gann’s PR Traffic Secrets 2.0 Video Course

Please be sure to post a comment and let me know how you are using public relations or social media in your business. Be sure to view my free video training on this important topic in the next few days.

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

Social Bookmarking 2 Viral Bookmarking Guarantees Quality One Way Links

My friend Colin Klinkert (Co-Founder of Viral URL and Viral Host) has just introduced an amazing new membership site designed to provide hundreds of one-way links for it’s members from hundreds of REAL PEOPLE leveraging the most important bookmarking sites such as Twitter, Digg, Delicious, MisterWong and Reddit among others. The site is called “Viral Bookmarking” and it easy to use, highly leveraged, and the results are guaranteed.

It cannot be disputed, back-links are the key to growing your page rank and driving traffic to your sites. Social bookmarking when done correctly can ensure your success at achieving these goals. Unfortunately many link wheel strategies, link exchanges and content syndication networks are ineffective because the links are either two-way or they come from the same small group of IP Addresses and the search engines discount them. Viral Bookmarking solves this problem by providing links from a wide range of members with unique IP Addresses from around the world.

The Viral Bookmarking community is comprised of website owners, bloggers and marketers just like you who bookmark each others sites through an easy-to-use, semi-automated social bookmarking exchange system that takes just minutes per day to engage . Every member has a user back-office where you track your campaigns, purchase credits and manage all related activities.

Members also have the option to promote the site as an affiliate and earn 50% commissions on all credit purchases and 30% in bookmarking credits made by their direct referrals to the site. So, not only are you going to improve your SEO and Page Rank, you also will be creating a semi-passive income stream and earn free bookmarking credits as an affiliate.

This short introduction video explaining the idea behind Viral Bookmarking

I am personally adding Viral Bookmarking as part of the link building strategy for all of my sites and I strongly encourage you to take a serious look as well and consider if this new community can help you achieve your business objectives. The other sites that Colin Klinkert has helped to create have proven to be of extreme value for Internet marketers worldwide and I predict Viral Bookmarking will soon set the standard for reliable one-way links with relative ease and guaranteed reliability.

I invite you to watch the short video on the home page that explains exactly how Viral Bookmarking works along with all of the details on how to sign up and take advantage of this brand new site. Please feel free to post your comments here and let me know other methods you are using to create critical back links for your sites.
