I’ve been a member of Russell Brunson’s Dot Com Secrets X for 30 Days

Last month I posted a review of Russell Brunson’s newly released Dot Com Secrets X titled “I Purchased This for $1 and You Should Too” and the feed back was great. Today, I am posting a review of my first 30 days as a member of this coaching program and membership site, which has been eye opening for me and should help you in making the right decision for to join yourself.

Why I joined Dot Com Secrets X

The first Internet marketing training program I purchased when coming online 4 years ago was the original Dot Com Secrets course, so I was very interested in seeing what Russell was going to deliver in this completely revised program. I was attracted to the idea of committing to a 30 Day Challenge because I know that this type of focused effort produces results. I was ready to take on something new and actionable and this looked like a nice fit and based on the $1 trail for 30 days there was also zero financial risk.

The 30 Day Challenge

The concept is very simple and the execution of the idea means that this program will work for marketers of all experience levels from the “newbie” (I was once a newbie) to the most experienced marketer looking for new strategies to grow their business.

The Dot Com Secrets training is divided into 3 phases; 1.) Get Traffic ans Sales Fast 2.) Build Your Organic Growth Strategy and 3.) Turn On The Mass Media Traffic. Each phase is 30 days in duration and provides precise guided coaching including all of the tools, resources, swipes and over the shoulder video tutorials to ensure that you are able to implement what you learn.

What You Will Learn in 30 Days

In phase one you will learn how to quickly put into place your list building platform and learn a low free and low cost method of building and monetizing your list.

Here is a list of is covered in the first 30 days:

Day 01.) Your Squeeze Page and Auto Responder

Day 02.) How to Turn $25 into $240k

Day 03.) Picking Your SLO

Day 04.) Start Sending Traffic

Day 05.) Monitor Results… Rinse and Repeat

Day 06.) Your Free Website

Day 07.) Recap, Hints and Your Email Newsletter

Day 08.) Paid Solo Ads

Day 09.) Big, List, Co-Ops, List Brokers and More

Day 10.) Ad Swaps

Day 11.) Your Bag of Email Tricks

Day 12.) What Do You Send To Your New List?

Day 13.) The 3 C’s

Day 14.) The Power of Story

Day 15.) The Review Website

Day 16.) One-site SEO

Day 17.) Off-site SEO

Day 18.) Links to the Links

Day 19.) Launch Piggy Backing

Day 20.) Organic Growth

Day 21.) The Smack Down

Day 22.) Day 22

Day 23.) Your Landing Page

Day 24.) Your Signature File

Day 25.) Providing Value

Day 26.) Creating Your System

Day 27.) Cool Forum Tricks

Day 28.) Message from Your Mentor

Day 29.) I’m Gonna Show You

Day 30.) The Next 30 Days

Based on what I have learned over the past 30 days, I have created three additional income streams by plugging the recommended SLOs into the traffic system as taught and it works virtually on auto-pilot which you will learn in the training. In addition to the direct sales generated from the SLOs I also have added a few dozen new subscribers to my subscriber in AWeber, which I will send additional offers over time.

How to Get Started and Join the Challenge

Joining the challenge is simple and cost just $1 or the first 30 days in the program and I will add one special bonus as your accountability partner.

My results have been tremendous and I allowed my subscription to renew now that I have completed the 30 day trial. I have successfully implemented the training, made money selling the SLOs, made money as an affiliate of Dot Com Secrets X, and I have added 2nd tier affiliate to the program as a great bonus. I am eager to learn what is in store over the next 30 days and I will add an additional post once completed.

Russell Brunson launches Dot Com Secrets X and I bought it today!

My first ‘virtual mentor’ in Internet Marketing was Russell Brunson the creator of Dot Com Secrets and one of the most respected online marketers in the industry… that was in 2008. I purchased courses and a monthly subscription eventually investing more than one-thousands dollars because the information was that good. There is no doubt that Russell shortened my learning curve by years and I have gone on to buy other products over the past four years.

Over the past year Russell and his team have completely overhauled their business to address dramatic changes in the Internet Marketing niche in order to provide their customers with the best possible mentor-ship, training, resources and tools to ensure success. One outcome of this effort is Dot Com Secrets X which launched on Monday and is phenomenal… buying this program based on a $1 thirty day trial was a no brainer.

I often review products and make recommendations to my readers, but it is more rare when I simply say “you should buy this.” which is what I am advising you to do here.

Although I have a high level of trust in Russell Brunson, I wanted to wait until I bought the program logged into the members area and went through the entire site with a fine tooth comb before recommending you join. Why? Because so much has changed I wanted to be 100% certain I wanted to recommend this membership site.

The beauty with the way this site is being launched is the $1 thirty day trail allowing you to fully access the sites and resources and make money first prior to committing to the full monthly subscription.

Take a look at this amazing trial membership here: Dot Com Secrets X 

My strong advice is to join with the thirty day trial and view the trial period as a thirty challenge and set a goal to make a few hundred or a couple of thousand dollars before your trail period ends. Based on what is provided to you as a member and the free traffic and swipe ads that are given to you in the system you would have to be mildly crazy not to take a close look inside.

Here is a small piece of what you get in exchange for a dollar:

1.) Access to your 30 day challenge $1 trial membership with full access and use of the entire Dot Com Sectrets X membership site.

2.) Russell Brunson live training every month through his members only sketch cast streamed live.

3.) Russell Brunson will provide specific step by step training accessed through the video archive exclusive to Dot Com Secrets X members. You will learn how to create online success in the first 30 days and the training will continue monthly as the value continues to grow.

4.) Digital access to the extremely popular ‘Dot Com Secrets Magazine‘ (the first subscription I purchased from Russell in 2008), you will get a new digital issue every month in addition to access to the past 5 years of archives.

5.) Access to ‘Marketing Illuminati‘ a complete $97 per month membership site that you will get for free… look at the Marketing Illuminati here.

6.) Access to thirty day traffic coaching including two secret traffic sources that will drive fast, low cost or cheap traffic. You will learn about 80+ traffic sources and free ads.

7.) Free advertising featuring more than 20 advertising and traffic websites to ensure you get thousands of clicks every month to your offers and covert sales to make massive commissions.

I have personally become a student and joined the 30 day challenge myself. I have been trained by Russell Brunson in the past, so I know the knowledge and value he shares. I want to invite you to join me by grabbing your $1 trail membership and taking action starting today.

Once you have signed up post a comment here and send an email to me at: james@askjamesholmes.com or Skype at: jamesholmesonline … I will share a few special bonuses of my own and schedule a one on one conversation with you to ensure you get started quickly.

To get all the details and sign up go here: Dot Com Secrets X

I am here to help you succeed and one of my greatest joys is sharing what is working now in my business. Please feel free to post a comment below and let me know how I can help you on your journey.

Have a blessed day!

I am often asked if it is hard to make money online? … My answer, what do you mean by hard?

I interact daily with dozens of people all driven by a common goal to make money online and change their lives in meaningful ways. Among the most commonly asked questions are those focused on whether or not it is difficult to make money online. This is understandable because the Internet can be a very confusing place with so many promises of easy riches and push button profits, it is easy to see why people become discouraged when these programs fail to produce results for the great majority of people who try.

The key to succeeding online is approaching your business objectives with the proper mindset, one that allows you to see the possibilities and determine a path that will lead to your success. There is a transition must be made to become a successful online business owner… a transition I call going from ‘e to E.’

What is e to E?

Understanding the difference between how e = employees and E = Entrepreneurs are paid is a critical piece of the success formula, failure to understand this foundational concept will lead to discouragement and frustration on your journey. Let me go one step further, the lack of understanding of the transition from e to E is responsible for the failure of more budding entrepreneurs than any other single factor.

How are e = employees compensated?

employees are compensated by exchanging time for money, which is usually predetermined based on an hourly rate or salary.

How are E = Entrepreneurs compensated?

Entrepreneurs are compensated as a derivative the problems they solve and/or the value they provide to the marketplace. Typically, the level (or amount) of compensation is proportionate to the size of the problems solved or sheer amount of value provided. Isn’t that a beautiful thing?

Based on this truth, you can understand why you must avoid logging hours when you launch your new business. Forget about the hours you spend and understand that you will likely be under compensated for a period of time. If you refuse to quit you will eventually reach a tipping point and begin to earn based on a whole new set of guidelines. Once you have broken through to the entrepreneurial standard you will earn based on your true worth and not as a result of the number of hours you work.

What do you mean by hard?

Understanding the degree to which you are willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams is another critical piece of the success formula. I have always believed that the definition of ‘hard’ is an individual one and is directly tied to your mindset. So what if it is hard…what matter is whether or not your dream worth it to you.

Here is a short video that might change the way you see your world and redefine the meaning of the word hard in your life. This video changed me, I already possessed a strong mindset toward self-sacrifice and hard work… yet this still caused a change in my perception of challenges.

This is an amazing story about belief and determination

Are what you perceive as road block merely obstacles?

Learning what you must become is the key to succeeding online whether your goal is making money, creating time freedom or changing the world. If you invest in yourself to accomplish your goals it will not matter if you perceive making money online as hard or easy, it will become irrelevant and you will do whatever it takes to make it happen. It really is that simple.

I am here to help you succeed and to create the life you are seeking through your online business. Contact me directly if I can help you take another step toward your ultimate objective online.

Have a blessed day!

Internet Marketing Professional Blog is Live!

 This is the first in a series of blog post… 30 in total which will detail my progress completing a Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which I detailed in a previous blog post. In short, I am creating one new website a day for thirty days and using this process as a teaching opportunity for you and a long-term value adding process for my customers, subscribers, and followers.

Site #1 is Internet Marketing Professional which is a WordPress blog centered on teaching others how to become a successful Internet marketers in the niche of affiliate marketing. This is a site that I acquired as a new project through Flippa from a very talented web designer. The teaching around this first project concerns how you can acquire and customize quality niche sites through Flippa and other auction websites.

I acquired the site and it was fully functional however all of the pages and post where generic so it was a blank canvas from a content and branding perspective. I was attracted to the graphics and the high converting Facebook Fan Page that provides a free course on video marketing in exchange for a “Like.” I highly recommend this list building method.

Here are 7 tips to enjoy superior results buying sites on Flippa:

1. Start with a purpose (what are you looking for?) and a budget (how much you can invest in the site)… be disciplined following both.

2. Carefully read the auction listings that meet your criteria and validate any claims made by the seller including income and traffic.

3. Don’t up bid yourself, wait until the day the auction closes to place your bid. If you draw attention to the site you are interested in by bidding multiple times over many days, you will draw the interest of other bidders and drive up the sale price.

4. Establish communication with the seller prior to bidding on the auction. Exchanging messages with the seller will give you a sense of how they will be to work with after you have won the auction.

5. Ask detailed questions prior to bidding and make sure all of your major points have been addressed. (tip: ask the seller to transfer the site hosting to your account).

6. Be prepared to act on a “buy now” auction if the instant purchase price is within 30% of your ideal price. If there are multiple bidders the site may sell for more than the “buy now” price.

7. Once you have successfully completed your transaction, let the seller know that you would like to preview sites prior to listing and be sure to “follow” the seller to be advised of future listings.

In this case the domain transfer and site transfer to my hosting account were done by the developer. This was not included in the auction, but was negotiated prior to the sale with the seller. The site had remained live and on hold prior to conceiving of the 30 day project.

 Here are the primary task I performed to complete this project:

1. Converted all affiliate links and advertising links on the site.

2. Installed additional plug-ins to add functionality and security for the site.

3. Upgraded WordPress version and scheduled automated weekly back-ups.

4. Restructured the page navigation and side bar widgets.

5. Created content for all of the site pages including my about page, contact page, a video training archive, and an embed of my web-conference room.

6. Created a subscriber list in AWeber to include follow welcome and follow up messages and added a subscriber web-form to all of the site pages.

7. Integrated my AWeber list with my primary social media profiles.

8. Added social media integration and advanced commenting using Disqus.

9. Added an RSS feed reader widget posting titles from my primary blog.

10. Added images and information settings to

http://www.facebook.com/InternetMarketingProfessional

There are two remaining steps that will be done as each site is completed; writing a blog post as I have done here and recording a podcast detailing each site and the scope of the project that day following it’s completion. This is truly one site down and twenty-nine site project to go!

Here is the completed site:

http://internetmarketingprofessional.org

I am here to help you succeed online and create an Internet business which empowers you to accomplish your goals and objectives. If one or more of my projects sparks an idea for you or an interest in creating a similar project of your own, please feel free to connect with me and let me help you create a successful site or two of your own.

Have a blessed day!

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!
