If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I've been taking a look at some of the free material being given out by some of the biggest and most successful marketers online at this time. Some weeks ago, Arman Morin, who has reportedly sold products and services over the Internet during the past ten years or so for over $43,000,000 (USD), and is the founder of Big Seminar and mentor of many of the most successful and serious marketers online, started sharing lots of videos on his blog.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see just how much value this marketer is willing to give away in his launch build-up over the past few weeks.  He now has 10 instructional videos and a downloadable .pdf file available at http://internetmarketingexplained.com/blog.

In his report, he dispells many myths that are prevalent concerning online marketing and shows in his videos exactly what he is talking about.

So what's so special about his giveaways?  Almost any marketer worthy of the name is giving away things to build-up trust and relationships before launching the product that the giveaways are related to, but here is where the comparison stops.

His videos are very informative and actually tell some of the "secrets" that many marketers have sold in courses and in PAID memberships.  I kid you not!  One example is in the video called massive traffic where he reveals things that I paid for in no less than TWO COURSES on Adwords and PPC marketing.

Head on over there right away and watch that video.  In fact, watch them all!

On other videos, he reveals virtually EVERYTHING you need to know about how to create products and sell them.  These are the kinds of videos I would have available on my site for my readers!

As I mentioned before, there are no less than 10 videos available there to watch - they are not downloadable.

Thank you, Armand Morin, for showing us how to give real value and for sharing all of this.  Even those who can't afford to purchase any of his courses will benefit greatly from the information available for a limited time on his blog:

John Reese just released the first part of his new Income.com.

 BlogRush is the name of the service they have finally released
(after many months of development). It’s a free service that will
help any blogger generate more traffic and readers for their blog.

Using RSS technology and some of their own new technology,
they’ve built an amazing platform to help bloggers receive
“mass distribution” for their content across the Internet.
And their system doesn’t spam or abuse the Internet in anyway.
And it doesn’t try and ‘game’ Google either.

What a fresh approach.  I congratulate John Reese and his co-workers
for coming out with such a novel idea and look forward to using it.

Here's a link to join BlogRush:

You can see it in action here in this blog to the right.

Happy Blogging and Much Traffic To You!

It's an auspicious time for us all in business and especially those of us who have waken up to the enormous opportunities online.

While there are many great challenges in the economy and for business owners, many have spoken of the gold rush of opportunity that is on the Internet today. And this is so true! Never has there been so much opportunity and so many resources, literally available at our fingertips!

But for many, this has escaped them. This is because as small business owners, we tend to try to do it all ourselves. All of the successful businessmen have told us, time and again:

"Make offers more attractive for potential buyers!"

"Know your strengths and weaknesses and delegate your weaknesses, or form a joint venture!"

"Take what is working and exploit that to the fullest!"

"Take MASSIVE ACTION!"

So how are you going to do this if you have no resources, no time or no money? Strategic alliances or joint ventures are the answer to this.

Please leave comments or message me with your thoughts.

Strategy Calls.com also invites you to answer the questions below:

1) Is there a particular aspect of strategic alliances that you feel you do not grasp, or in other words, that you would like to learn about?

2) Have you tried joint venture relationships before and what are your experiences from this/them?

3) If negative, what went wrong? What was missing?

4) If positive, what was right? And has the relationship continued?

5) Is there something that particularly frightens you about strategic alliances/joint ventures?

6) Would you like help creating a joint venture or strategic alliance?

7) Please state in what area you need assistance.

Would you like to be a case study?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Strategy Calls!

The guys at Hexatrack show exactly how to make $45,000 in two days with their new free tool, Hexatrack. 

Here's a link to the video:

Here's the play-by-play breakdown of what they did: 

1. They identified an interesting, timely offer on the CommissionJunction affiliate network with a payout of $15.00 per conversion.
2. The offer was centered around a main keyword; let's say it was a 2-word keyphrase which we'll call the "seed keyword."
3. They "dropped the seed" into the HexaTrack keyword spy tool, which yielded a few dozen "short tail" keywords used by our competitors at the time. If  competitors are using these keywords, they can't be all wrong!
4. They prepared to spend some money in Google Adwords and uploaded these short tail keywords to a new Adwords campaign. ("Short-tail keywords" are named so because they contain the seed keyword plus one additional word, or two at the most.)
5. Then they began running these "short tail" keywords as "broad matches"… i.e. if a user searches Google for a phrase that is identical with the short-tail phrase, it's a match… but more importantly, if the Google user's phrase contains the short tail phrase, it's a match as well!
    

   Are you following on why they were running their first list of spyed-out keywords in broad match mode?   For example, if the keyword we were paying for was "life insurance", and a Google user searched for "capital life insurance," our ad would still successfully display on Google, because "capital life insurance" contains the phrase "life insurance". Thus, it's a broad match!

   Here's the kicker… (important!)
   

6. Whenever a conversion happened (sale, lead) HexaTrack would detect the actual keyword that the user entered into Google at the time… which is not necessarily the keyword that we were bidding on originally!

   Let me repeat this, because it's so important: After every time you convert a click to a sale or lead (a money-making action), HexaTrack will report back to you the long-tail keyword that the user had actually searched for, which may be different from the short-tail keyword that you were bidding on in the first place.

   For example, if you ran the broad match on the short-tail keyword "life insurance" from the example above, you might find out from HexaTrack:

   a) that "life insurance" by itself is an overpriced keyword because it is so broad that "everyone and their brother" bids on it (remember, most bidders on Adwords don't know what they're doing, and thus drive up bid prices on "obvious", but badly-converting keywords); and
    
   b) that a handful of previously-unknown "long tail" keywords such as "California life insurance review" turn out to be hotly-converting keywords …and they aren't even keywords that you were explicitly bidding on!

   Without HexaTrack you would not have had that information at all!

   (Frankly, I don't even know how we made any money in PPC before we developed HexaTrack!?! Larry?)

7. Here's what we did next: We simply removed the expensive broad-match/short-tail terms that didn't make any money… and replaced them with the lean, cheap, long-tail keywords that HexaTrack found out for us… i.e. we are now only buying those keywords from Adwords that users actually tend to enter before they buy!

   Put another way: We're replacing our ad spy keywords that may sell, with the actual keywords that are proven to convert Google users into conversions. We are taking OUT the guesswork.

   For example, if our initial test with "life insurance" was unprofitable, we would now replace it with a dozen or so exact-matches of various long-tails that HexaTrack found out for us. One of these long-tails could be, for example, "california life insurance review", which HexaTrack could have reported to us as one of the keywords that we know has actually converted real people to our $15 affiliate offer!

Do you get it?

• First HexaTrack generated our initial "test balloon" short-tail keyword list right out of the box, by spying on our competitors (which is basically a VERY good estimate on what people will enter and what keywords are likely converting for our competiitors)…
• Then, after just hours, it showed us the precise keywords that people actually entered before they clicked on our money-making affiliate offer, so we could eliminate some of the expensive short-tail duds from our keyword arsenal and enter the profit zone rapidly. (Within a day of testing to be exact.)

$45,000+ within 2 days after the initial experimental phase — how is one supposed to react to that?

Were we all cool and laid-back about this result? Did we chalk it up as just anoher night at the office… business as usual at Larry & Amish's? Of course not! This was a home-run in anyone's book, no matter what some Adwords gurus would want you to believe…

The point here is not to make you think that you can make 45 grand out of the gate, every other day, from the first day you're using HexaTrack PRO. The point is that, with diligent research of the kind we'll be teaching our PRO members, you probably will stumble upon a gold mine market like this, a few times a year. Consider such spectacular opportunities as the gravy on top of your meat-and-potatoes markets… (the latter being the ones that bring you solid PPC income every single day).

We'll get more into your long-term strategy of balancing steady markets vs. outrageous home-run opportunities in one of the next blog entries. For now let it suffice that 45 grand in a couple of days is possible.

Even though I’m from one of the largest cities in the United States, I have lived in Scandinavia for nearly 30 years. Where I live, there is a very well-known and respected law that says that everyone is free to pick mushrooms and wild berries in the woods and forests. Treasure hunting for these delicacies is a delight and a national past time.   Finding a special place that is rich in Chantarelle, a savoury and gourmet mushroom that is golden in color, is liken to finding a deep vein of gold that you can return to season after season and harvest large baskets full. There is even a special word that literally means “the place where wild strawberries grow“ that is used to describe someone‘s favorite little spot. When you tell people that you have found whole basketsful of Chantarelles or have harvested several bucketsful of blueberries, you leave out where to find them. These are jealously guarded secrets. 

And even from an ecological viewpoint, it is also very important that everyone goes to different woods and different parts of the woods to find these fruits of the earth, . If everyone were to go to the very same spot, the mushrooms and berries would perish very quickly, leaving absolutely nothing to be picked and gathered. . Until a few decades ago, no one would even tell you how to find them; you would have to learn this from close friends and family, or from trial and error.  More

Three Internet marketers I know have struck gold and I can't keep it quiet any longer.

They stumbled on a formula that uses Intenet video to generate UNBELIEVABLE TRAFFIC AND SEARCH ENGINE RANKINGS–in as little as 24 to 48 hours!

I know it's hard to believe but they have the proof.

In fact, one top Internet marketer just used their little known but highly effective techniques to capture the ENTIRE FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE RESULTS for his targeted keyword phrase.

How did he do it? I want to let you in on it, too. More
