I don’t know about you but I have been getting tons of emails latelty pitching software designed to make what seems like unreal amounts of money selling ClickBank products on auto-pilot. When I say unreal I mean like $100,000 in 3 days non-sense … some more and some less.

Every one of these product offers come complete with screen shots offered as “proof” that the creator of the product has made an unreal amount of money selling ClickBank products and you can too … well maybe not.

Here is a great little video by my friend Tim Linden, owner of StartXchange, which completely pulls back the curtain and let’s you see for yourself how these self-styled gurus produce “proof” of such amazing results and like I said, you can too!

After you have watched the video read this …

If you have decided that ClickBank is the right vehicle for you  to produce an online income be sure to take an approach that will produce results. Last November I conducted a little test of my 30 day guided coaching program designed to help participants make at least $1,000 in 30 days marketing ClickBank products. I know the thought of making $1,000 in 30 days pales by comparison to $100,000, but using my method you will actually put real money in your bank account.

The test was a true success and those who stuck with the program made money within the prescribed time-frame. After several months of preparation I am ready to conduct another guided program and  I will provide more details in the coming days.

I would invite you to go back and read the series of post and listen to the recorded calls from the original test of my “How to Make $1,000 in 30 Days“ program. I think you will learn a lot and it will also give you a small sample of what is to come once the program is open for enrollment.

Test Program Guidelines and Details of the Program that Worked:

Accountability Calls:

http://askjamesholmes.com/how-to-make-1000-online-in-30-days-participants-accountability-calls

If you make the time to read the linked post and listen to the recording of the calls, you will begin to see the logic and potential for the strategies we tested. In fact, if you follow the guidelines and use the same resources I provided to the test group, you could actually start making money before we open the new session.

Please be sure to post a comment and let me know if you found Tim’s video enlightening and if this program sounds like a fit for you. I would love to know if you have attempted to make money with ClickBank products in the past and what you have found that works.

I am here to help you succeed and thank you for vising my blog!

I have developed some really great friendships among my Internet Marketing peers, some I have met in person and an even larger number I have gotten to know through telephone conversations, Skype chats, email exchanges and live streams. All of these relationships have added value to my business and my  life and every now and then they produce some pretty cool experiences – just like friendships in the offline world.

Last Wednesday was one such occasion as I had a chance to jump onto “TE Live” hosted by Jon Olson and Tim Linden – the show airs weekdays on UStream TV.

My TE pal Lynn McCutcheon owner of Traffic Pro-X and all around awesome person, summed up my appearance on her blog as follows:

• James shared a lot of good input and insight on the discussion we were all having about the negativity in TE Land in general and some other great stuff (always great coming from James), and after we all talked about it all at length a little more, the mood changed a little bit and some of us talked about how those of us who still support what we know traffic exchanges can do probably need to work a little harder at trying to keep a more positive outlook on things TE-wise and keeping on trying to help teach people the right way to do things to get results (a la Affiliate Funnel, TE Live, etc.).
• We also found out James has a daughter who’s in college. I am still suspicious that he can’t possibly be old enough to have a daughter in college looking so young himself!
• James’ daughter was asking him about TE Live when she was there recently, and we had some discussion about the kids of TE Live. Tim and Jon were talking about going to get coffee and we all wondered why, when they both have kids there (as Jon’s son is visiting this week), they haven’t trained any of those kids to bring them their coffee.
• Tim went to get coffee with his headset on, so we could still hear him but couldn’t see him. Then we heard his coffee maker.
• Then when Tim got back, Jon went to get his coffee.
• James didn’t go get any coffee.
• I really don’t know what Jon’s doing here:

Lynn pretty accurately described the free for all… part serious and part totally random… just the way we like it!

If you haven’t yet experience the “water cooler” conversation that is TE Live, I personally invite you to stop by and spend some time with us. When I first started participating in TE Live a few months ago, I was always waiting for the “presentation” to start… it never did and what has evolved is something far more valuable to the participants… the people who tune in every day. It is a community of people who are getting to know each other, who can safely share their rants, best ideas, tips, promotions, and a good laugh everyday!

Be sure to check out TE Live and my friends blogs – be sure to say hello when you stop by!

Hats off to Jon and Tim for allowing TE Live to take on a life all it’s own and not trying to micro manage and mold this into just another training platform. We need the training broadcast too, but I love having a virtual water cooler to hangout at in the middle of my work day.

I am here to help you succeed online and achieve your ideal Internet lifestyle!

I wanted to share the code for a neat little Word Press Plugin that will help with SEO for your blog. As you may know, when you set up your site you have the option to name your site with or without the ‘www’ identifier. So as an example you can say AskJamesHolmes.com or www.AskJamesHolmes.com either way your visitors will arrive at your site. However, this can create an unfavorable result for the search engines.

Tim Linden is the creator of StartXchange which is a manual traffic exchange that he created 9 years ago when he was 15 years young. Tim is a very talented and soft spoken guy who seems to come up with an endless list of great tools to enrich your online experience and create leverage if you are an Internet marketer.

I was reviewing my Google Analytics for this blog a few days ago and found that my data was available under the ‘non-www’ address and non existent when the ‘www’ was entered, which got me thinking. I had heard Tim make a casual reference to this plug in a week or two ago and yesterday was able to get the code from him. So guess what I am doing today?

The plug in uses a 301 Moved Permanently redirect so that the search engines will index your content using the correct variable in your URL.

The download is free and there is nothing to buy, so grab it and use it on all of your sites.

Here is a ZIP file containing the plug in code: Tim Linden Pro www Plugin

Feel free to leave a comment and if you like the plugin share this post with your friends.

I am here to help you succeed!
