"Web Traffic Techniques You Can Use Right Now for 2006!"
By Jason Mangrum, Author The Instant Traffic Formula 2006
http://www.InstantTrafficFormula.com

As you probably know, getting web traffic to your site is one of the three most crucial components to making any money online. In Mark Joyner's Internet Intelligence Manuscript (Volume II) he clearly explains how any web traffic (not just "targeted traffic") can be made profitable, by mentally framing, or conditioning your visitors to become receptible to your offer.

One of the easiest ways to mentally re-frame your visitors upon entry to your site, is to walk them through a three-step process that:

A) Grabs their immediate attention with a promise of benefit
B) Pre-Qualifies them before they get to your sales letter
C) Follows up with them over time with new content and reminders of your offer

Keep in mind, web traffic is just one component of the three required to sustain sales.

The other two are:

1. Testing new advertising campaigns and ad copy
2. Tracking and keeping records of your results from each campaign

Here's an example case study of the three-step process...

On December 16th 2005, my book "The Instant Traffic Formula 2006" was released to teach internet entreprenuers how to create, attract and monetize responsive web traffic to any web site or affiliate program. As of today, my web site at www.InstantTrafficFormula.com (which uses the exact techniques taught in the book) is averaging a 64.86% visitor-to-lead conversion, and an average sales conversion ranging from 4.69% up to 11.36% all-around (from the redirect = no followups), which is currently netting me just over $1.48 per unique visitor to my site.

Again, these statistics do not take follow-ups into account. These are "straight-out-of-the-gate" type sales that occur within minutes of my visitors signing up to read my sales letter.

And you can do this too.

I follow a simple formula to create web traffic, qualified leads, responsive subscribers, loyal customers and even active affiliates who promote anything and everything I sell online.

You can sum up the entire formula into the three major components I mentioned above, and create a fail-proof success system for your products, services and affiliate programs. After you've activated the formula, the best way to keep the momentum of traffic, leads and sales coming in on a consistent and even predictable basis, is in three words...

What those three words are, and how to use them by combining eight other powerful elements is carefully documented inside my book. But here's the process I used personally on my site:

1. My visitor is directed through a tracking link (or affiliate link) to a lead capture page called a "Name Squeeze" where prospects give their contact information in order to get details of my report.

2. Upon submitting their contact information, they are immediately directed to my sales page for the details, and offer for the Instant Traffic Formula Scientific Marketing Report.

3. My follow-up autoresponder system immediately sends them an email reminding them of my offer, giving a few testimonials of the report and sends them a link to check it out at another time. A few days later, they receive reminders of my offer, more quality feedback of my report, new articles and content about getting web traffic, and again - links back to my sales letter.

The lead capture page serves to "pre-qualify" visitors who actually want to read my sales letter to find out more about my offer. I've heard a lot of people claim many visitors (and sales) can be lost by forcing your prospects to "do something" before they get to your offer -- but my direct experimentation and results show the majority (64.86%) of visitors who hit my site, sign up.

Once my visitors sign up, they become leads and are set into my autoresponder system to receive consistent follow-ups until they buy, or unsubscribe. Thankfully, the autoresponder service I use (Aweber) allows me to easily direct my new subscribers to a custom "Thank You" page. Most web marketers still use the "default" thank you page and their subscribers are returned to a "thanks for subscribing - now close the window" type message. Useless.

My thank you page re-directs to a tested sales letter that continues the mental conditioning process by giving in-direct answers to questions that were created in the mind of my prospects upon reading, and signing up from my Name Squeeze.

Now that my three elements are together, I combine them with "CII" or the three most powerful words in all of marketing, and achieve phenomenal and consistent results over time.

Using just this part of the formula alone, can cause a massive shift in your bottom line. However, when the complete formula is both discovered and activated, you'll have a direct funnel to bring money "out of thin air" to you whenever you like, and for whatever you want.

Do this. Think of something you'd like to have.

Anything. It can be anything. Don't limit yourself.

A new car, a new house, a nice expensive necklace for a loved one -- anything.

Now put a price on it.

That's your goal. Your intention.

Write it down.

Next, get out a calculator and punch in the price of what you want.

Divide that number by the price for whatever item you want to sell.

Round up to the nearest whole number, and you've got a definite number.

This number equals the amount of sales you'll need to get your wish.

Now use the formula described in this article, and funnel the correct amount of sales into your business, by getting the traffic, pre-qualifying them, and going for the sale using CII to guide you along every step of the way -- until you reach your desired number of sales.

Once the sales you've accumulated equal your desired amount, you get your wish.

Try it for yourself and see the power in this technique to create anything you want.

Above all, stay focused... keep the momentum... and enjoy your prosperity in the new year!

Re: He'll Lavishly Bribe You to Read This Book Now

2005-11-29T13:59:00.000-06:00

You'd have to be certifiably insane to pass up on this $15,915.64 bribe at the time of this writing. What for? Mark Joyner just released his book, "The Irresistible Offer" and has put together, quite literally -The Mother Of All Bribes at http://www.TheMotherOfAllBribes.com

Is Mark Joyner's new book *that* important?

You'll have to read the copy to know what I'm talking about.

As for the importance of Mark's new book, apparently Dr. Joe Vitale and a massive herd of other marketing experts seem to think so. So much so they've assembled what may just be the biggest collection of ethical bribes ever known to man if you read the book.

If nothing else, you'd be nuts not to take them upon this offer. For the price of a single tiny book, you get a massive stack of some really cool tools that are bound to skyrocket your profitability through the roof. And hey, you'll also get a copy of Joyner's deceptively simple book that may in fact change the world of business forever.

Click on this link and get the stuff now before closing this page as I do not know for certain how long the offer will remain up (though I can't imagine it will remain up for very long) ...

Re: Boy or Girl? -- Updated for Nov 2005!

2005-11-03T18:23:00.000-06:00

We're not sure yet. But upon returning from T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive, we found out we've got another little one on the way!!!!

What better gift can you give than the gift of life?

Of course, Skye helped. ;)

I wanted to save the 'breaking news' until today, when I could share my love and joy with all you other fathers out there. (And dad, if you ever read this, Happy Father's Day and I love you.) ... Ok, now remember when you filled out that QUICK one-question survey? I'm going to give you the results of that survey, and then we're (yes WE) together are going to figure out how to best take those results and make them mean something important to you. Yes, to YOU. I am in this business to HELP. Making money is a nice "side effect" that comes when you do what you love...

With that in mind, here are the survey results...

1) What do you consider your weakest areas?

Writing Effective Sales Copy	90	11.35%
Affiliate Marketing	70	8.83%
Building a Website	86	10.84%
Getting Traffic	125	15.76%
Finding Joint Venture Partners	62	7.82%
Email Marketing	82	10.34%
Creating Products	72	9.08%
Setting up a Back-end System	67	8.45%
Testing and Tracking - Your Metrics	63	7.94%

Wow... interesting results, eh? :)

So it would seem that I should help you with:

1) Getting Traffic
2) Writing Effective Sales Copy
3) Building A Website
4) Email Marketing
5) Your Mindset/Motivation
6) Creating Products
7) Affiliate Marketing
8) Setting Up A Back-end System
9) Testing and Tracking - Your Metrics
10) Finding Joint Venture Partners

...in that order.

Very interesting data. You should look at this closely.

I hope my Super Affiliates are paying attention. :)

This is the order of things we'll be working on in our future posts and training lessons.

I've got another book in the works. I think you'll like it. It's almost finished.

I will keep you updated on the progress of our new child-on-the-way. If it's a girl, we're thinking, "Aura Skye Mangrum" and if it's another boy, we've decided on "Michael -Angelo Mangrum" (like the Archangel and the artist, not the ninja turtle) ;)

FINAL NOTE: As you might have guessed, we get a TON of email. Well, not anymore. Now we have a brand-new V.I.P. Help Center and this is sooooo exciting because we can finally keep all our communications organized and streamlined without ever carrying the problems that e-mail has these days (bounces, non-delivery, spam, etc)...

From now on, if you want to contact us - just shoot an email to: jmskye@gmail.com

We tried a helpdesk system, and let's just say it caused more trouble than it was worth. ;)

If you need me, email me. Simple? Yep.

Have a great one!

How You Do Anything is How You Do Everything...

2005-06-15T12:00:00.000-05:00

I look down now at the black rubberband on my left wrist, read the words "I have a millionaire mind" and can't help but feel the soothing wave of fulfillment pass over my entire being.

I can't help but smile.

I had the chance to not only experience this life altering event for myself, but I also watched a room of uncertain business owners, marketers, authors, and even a few nay-saying individuals - go from unsure listeners to powerful and unique leaders. I watched in disbelief as one by one, they learned to control energy and heal themselves of past trauma right there on the spot, and move forward into a newfound inner peace... A life of substance... and purpose.

I believe. And I have the "break-through" to prove it. (if you were there, you know what I'm talking about.) ;)

When you go, you'll know what I mean. And it'll shock you with so much "Level 15" energy, you'll drop to your knees in amazement.

You might cry. Many were. Over a thousand of them. If they weren't crying, they were blown over with excitement like you've never seen. It was incredible.

At the end, I asked for 20 postcards to give to my very best subscribers. If you win, I'll send you a postcard worth $1,295. I'm telling you T. Harv Eker is a marketing genius. Some say he's a "sales machine." Well, when you've got people literally running to the back of the room, some tumbling over chairs to go buy your products, you can't complain. ;)

We went there for a marketing education. We wanted to know how the ______ a guy -who most have still never heard of- could put on free seminars, pack the house, and make *millions* (literally, they shared some numbers with a select few of us - while revealing how they do it) on the "back-end." We got such an incredible marketing education just by being there and watching the psychology behind every move and every action. I loved the "demand a response" technique - pure genius.

Let's just say I'll be drinking a lot more tea. ;)

Did I mention something about a $1,295 postcard? hmmm...

Email me at: Jason@JasonMangrum.com with the subject: SEND IT TO ME and if you're one of the first twenty lucky people who's ready to experience the same thing we did, I'll send you a postcard that will change your life and show you how to *force* yourself to become wealthy. No friggin joke. This is serious. There exists a "money-system" so ingenius (straight from the mind of Mr. T. Harv Eker) that it has been called "the most efficient wealth creation and money management system in the world."

And you know, we love the best.

As you might have guessed, I was specifically asked not to reveal certain things about this seminar. Why? So when you go, you get to have the experience in it's fullest. As a multimillion dollar education in marketing, it's priceless. As a $1,295 personal development seminar, it's incredible. Be one of the first 20 to email me, and I'll send you a postcard. :)

I'll write again in a minute. I've got something coming up from the Hypnotic Marketing Empire and it's 98% finished.

If you like Dr. Joe Vitale, you'll love this...

We're Out The Door - And Off To Texas!

2005-06-09T11:54:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm being rushed to write this, but I wanted to get in one last post before we left and headed out for the loooooong drive ahead. Dallas, Texas... Where and what for? We're headed to T. Harv Eker's 'Millionaire Mind Intensive.' Why? We're extremely curious how a guy can give away free seminars and make *millions* per night on the back-end. We've heard stories of people running to the back of the room to purchase whatever he just so happens to be selling at the time.

My totally awesome mother Kristi Sayles has agreed to watch Aaron while Skye and I are away at the seminar, so please do me a HUGE favor and go check out her web site at: www.SmartAuthor.com and sign up to her "Joint Venture Heaven" at www.GlobalChatZone.com - no affiliate links, just see what she has to offer - I helped with both sites so you know it's gooooooood. ;) (just kiddin - but check her out for real)

Ok, Skye's gonna kill me if I don't peel myself away from this computer and get going.

If you write me (Jason@JasonMangrum.com) you'll get a nice autoresponder message until the 14th or so when we return, and please understand we may not be able to answer all emails (we get thousands daily) but we'll make every attempt to answer as many as we can and still remain productive. If you write and don't hear back from us immediately, please send a *polite* and courteous follow-up. Thanks!

Now go check out her sites! :)

Now This One's Going Crazy -- International Bestseller in TEN Hours?

2005-06-08T13:37:00.000-05:00

They said it wasn't possible.

They scoffed, "there's no way. It just can't be done."

We helped take Joe's Attractor Factor to the #1 Bestseller list, but can we do it again -- with a book I helped to write?

Well, we can if we make you an offer so deluctibly tasty, you'll want to buy the whole lot in one gulp. But you certainly don't need the lot, just one. For under 17 bucks. And you get The E-Code: 33 Internet Superstars Reveal 43 Ways to Make Money Online Almost Instantly - Using Only Email...

Guess who wrote the last chapter? ... I'll give you a hint.

Isn't it worth seventeen bucks just to see what I wrote? Yes? No? Maybe? Well, how about I give you over $1,000 in bonuses AND pile on the fact that there are 32 *other* brilliant marketing masterminds that wrote this thing with me. And it's all about ONE subject... How to absolutely, positively make money with only email, and no - it's not remotely close to spam, either. ;)

Well, I'll stop blabbing about it now and let you go check it out... Here's a letter I was asked to send you that gives even more information and insight into this mysterious "E-Code" -- Let me know what you think of my chapter!

I really owe it to you to let you know about the 'certain madness' behind the launch of Dr. Joe Vitale and Jo Han Mok's brand new book, The E-Code: 33 Internet Superstars Reveal 47 Ways to Make Money Online Almost Instantly---Using Only Email.

In under 1o hours, it became an International Best Seller and the E-Code itself was used to achieve that. How powerful is that?

The 'Godfather' of Internet Marketing Mark Joyner held a teleseminar with these 2 bestselling authors to decode the E-Code, and ended up revealing more than he should have and the best part is...

Jo Han Mok surprised everyone on the call when he interjected at the last minute and said that everyone who purchased the E-Code would be given a recording AND transcript of that teleseminar and have free giveaway rights!

This is in addition to over a $1,000 worth of bonuses at:
http://www.the-e-code.com/

The bonsuses may be removed anytime, so make sure you download them all now while you can at: http://www.the-e-code.com/

If anything, Mark Joyner commented on the call that the webpage has the most unusual cosmetics done to the headline, and when you read every word on the webpage, you'll know that these guys are true practitioners of the E-Code.

What Does The New Owner Of A Multimillion Dollar Online Empire Do to Promote His Business?

2005-06-06T20:04:00.000-05:00

Good question. I've been given this massive, monumentous empire called, "Hypnotic Marketing" and now it's my job to make it a multibillion dollar online empire. :)

What's a marketer to do?

Well, first... I can tell you about it. That's a good start.

The Nitro Boys, Matt & Kevin (of www.NitroMarketing.com) just put me behind the wheel of controlling the Hypnotic Marketing Empire, while they -being the huge publishers they are, and a dominate force in marketing- work on their business in other areas. Boy, this is big.

And the best part is that I can honestly say I fully believe in everything the practice of Hypnotic Marketing teaches -- in fact, I confess. I'm a "Hypnotic Marketer" myself. :)

If you're a bit confused and you think Joe Vitale runs the Hypnotic Marketing Empire -- think again. This man is genius. He keeps himself busy doing other things he loves while Nitro (his publisher) and now me, makes him bundles and bundles of money. Ain't it the life? ;)

Well, I've promised to take this Hypnotic Marketing Empire to the top and beyond, and by God -- that's what I'm gonna do. And I need your help. As any smart marketer would know, a mastermind is by-far the BEST way to get blazing-hot ideas to accomplish and conquer *anything.*

So, here's a survey I put together to find out what would seriously, honestly and truthfully HELP YOU MOST?

You are the special engine behind the power of the Hypnotic Marketing Empire. I need your love and support to make it work. And together we'll take this empire to the top and beyond. Oh, and I want you to get a cut of the action. :)

If you're highly interested in this amazing opportunity to take advantage of a multi-million dollar business re-vamp and share in the wealth of a dominate industry in marketing, I urge you to LET ME KNOW ASAP.

We'll mastermind together, and figure out every possible way we can each contribute to help the Hypnotic Marketing Empire grow to help billions and billions of people worldwide.

If you're interested and you want to become one of my very special and trusted super-affiliates, contact me at:
Jason@JasonMangrum.com

The survey's coming up in just a sec. Time for a coffee-break. ;)

Author Picks FIGHT With Harry Potter - And Wins!

2005-04-05T19:10:00.000-05:00

I haven't slept in almost two days now. Forgive me my ramblings and run-on sentences...

Excitement of this monster book release has reached it's peak.

Joe Vitale's "Attractor Factor" has skyrocketed to #2 overnight. The infamous Harry Potter and his entire media empire is about to get a serious wake-up call. Here's a news release that JUST hit - hot off the press...

For Immediate Release
Contact: Stacey Miller
Phone: 781-986-0732 (Eastern)
Email: staceyjmiller@bookpr.com

Author Picks Fight With Harry Potter -- and Wins
#2 Bestseller Uses Internet in New Ways to Sell Books

The Texas author of numerous books is using a wild EBay auction, online allies, and a truckload of bonuses to, as he says, "chase Harry Potter up a tree."

Joe Vitale's latest book "The Attractor Factor: 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or anything else) From the Inside Out" hit #2 at Amazon and #2 at Barnes and Noble today.

The latest Potter book -- still unreleased -- is #1.

"I've bumped Trump, and Da Vinci, and I'm going after Potter," announced the author.

His method has been grassroots and inexpensive:

First: He made an offer few could refuse. Go to http://www.mrfire.com/factor and you'll see a list of 23 bonuses -- "ethical bribes," Vitale calls them -- for anyone who buys his book today. This encourages sales in one day. Many people are buying hundreds of copies to support the author.

Second: He has used allies to win the war. Vitale contacted owners of large lists and asked them to do a mailing for him. Most agreed, knowing it would be good publicity for them to be involved in Vitale's one-man underground campaign to sell books.

Third: Friends of his posted a creative auction on EBay to sell two million books in one week. Whether he does it or not will have to be seen. See the listing at
http://www.JasonMangrum.com/2MillionCopiesSoldOnEbay/

"I'm one guy and a computer going up against a fictional character with a media empire behind him," said Vitale. "Everyone said I don't stand a chance. But look - I'm already #2."

Will he dethrone the Potter king?

Vitale, who is a magician in his sprare time, waves his magic wand and says, "Harry Potter oblivio."

"I have more tricks in my Internet bag," says Vitale.

"Just watch my e-smoke."

We're selling two million copies for as low as $3.75 per book, or you can pick up a copy or two right now (plus over 23 exclusive bonuses valued well over $1,000) at:

How To Overcome FEAR - Dr. Joe Vitale

2005-04-04T14:47:00.000-05:00

Dr. Joe Vitale's new book comes out this week.

Here's a brand new article he wrote, which he is giving you as a gift to share with you, or (if you have one) your list and your website visitors. If you have any questions, let me know. -- Jason Mangrum

"How to Overcome Fear"
Guest Article: by Dr. Joe Vitale, Author
The Attractor Factor - www.AttractorFactor.com

I'm in Chicago attending a Dan Kennedy event. At the first break a young man stops me, saying he is one of my subscribers and a big fan. I'm flattered. We talk. During the brief conversation, he confesses that fear is what stops him from achieving anything. Interesting. Just that very morning I had breakfast with Paul Hartunian, famous publicity expert, when he told me, "There is no such thing as fear."

"There isn't?" I asked Paul.

"No. You are born with only two fears," Paul explained. "The fear of loud noises and the fear of falling. You lose those early on. Any other fears are created by you. They aren't real." "How do you get rid of fear?"

"Stop it."

"Stop it?"

"Just stop it," Paul said. "Say you have a fear of bridges. If I put one million dollars in cash on the other side and said you could have it if you walked across the bridge, nude, in front of a crowd of people, you'd do it. Why? Because the reward is greater than the pain. Make the rewards greater and the fears will vanish."

I told the young man before me the same thing.

I then went on to add that most people in business have a fear of success, or a fear of failure. "I was just in a seminar with Ted Nicholas," I went on. "Ted said he had failed many times, and what he learned is that nothing bad ever happens to you when you fail. Instead, you get life's greatest lessons."

Of course, Ted is known as the four billion dollar man because he is now a legend in direct marketing. "As for the fear of success," I told my new friend in Chicago, "what I've learned is that the more successful I am, the more I can help myself, my family, and the world." In the last week alone I had made contributions to a new children's foundation dedicated to helping babies suffering from a stroke at birth, and I made donations to Paul Hartunian's dog rescue work.

"Success enables me to help myself as well as everyone else," I said. "When you realize the good you can do as a success, the fear evaporates." I saw a light come on in the eyes of the fellow before me. He seemed to get it. He seemed to realize that fear was stopping him, but that he was the one creating it, so he could be the one to let it go. As Dan Kennedy said in Chicago, "There is no limit to the money available. The pie is infinite. It's up to you to go scoop it up." Fear? Stop it. You've got a life to live, and people to help. Go for it.

How to Re-Ignite Your Passion for Internet Marketing and Set Your Bank Account on Fire!

2005-03-11T20:04:00.000-06:00

If you're struggling as an internet marketer, listen up.

I am "qualified" to write this article because I have just been through a series of experiences that turned my life upside down, shook the very foundation of my beliefs, and made me question my own sanity. I suffered a very real nervous breakdown (it was the scariest experience of my life) and along with a "series of unfortunate events" that seemed to hit me and my family like a ten-ton anvil of pain and suffering, I almost didn't make it.

I'm not writing this article to tell you of my negative experiences.

I'm writing these words to tell you that I overcame them. How I overcame them. And how YOU can overcome absolutely anything that is keeping you down and keeping you from acheiving the life of your dreams... the life you rightfully deserve and have every right to possess!

I now realize that I wasn't being put through "hell" because some greater power had it in for me. Let me ask you a question... What must happen before a formless piece of clay can be transformed into a beautiful sculpture?

The clay must be molded and put through the fire to be "magically" transformed into a beautiful work of art. A masterpiece. A new creation, made pure and whole and given a whole new purpose in life. This is what happened to me, and I am eternally grateful that I can now share this incredibly powerful realization with you...

"It is always darkest, just before the dawn."

If you're down, depressed, find yourself staying up night after night, staring blindly into your computer screen, looking over the same emails you wrote or read ten times before... this article was meant just for you.

Every single day of your life you are given an opportunity to take a step toward success.

You don't realize it, because you're more focused on your problems than the million-dollar ideas that come to you out-of-the-blue, the un-tapped potential to create solid relationships and partnerships that last a lifetime, and the truly UN-LIMITED number of resources and information *right-now* at your fingertips that can bring you the life of your dreams...

I'll prove it to you.

When's the last time a business idea shot through your head like a bolt of lightning, inspired you and for a split-second made you feel fantastic... only to be CRUSHED the very next moment and buried, all by a single thought... "it won't work" or "I don't know how to make it work."

Have you ever spoken with a friend, a relative, or found yourself writing an email and was suddenly inspired to write a few extra words containing the potential for an explosive business-building relationship, but then thought to yourself, "what if it doesn't work" and before you know it, those words that COULD have made you a multi-millionaire, are erased.

Ever watched a TV commercial and thought "I could have done that" ?

Well, you are more focused on what you are lacking, and this is causing you to 2nd guess every motivating and inspiring thought that goes through your mind. I tested this.

During my recent "trials and tribulations" I began to notice just how many times I would be given an opportunity to rise up out of the pit, and begin anew. And I noticed how often I would brush off the idea, almost as soon as it arrived because my life was in such a mess.

Isn't it funny how we can turn away the exact same help we desperately ask for?

We get these amazing ideas and then trash them by making excuse, after excuse after mind-numbing excuse. There's ALWAYS a reason not to take action. But you know what can help you overcome your every problem with moving forward and making your life a dynamite success?

Take action ANYWAY.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Laugh like you've never experienced sadness.

Keep your eyes and mind OPEN for the limitless possibilities that surround you on a daily basis.

When you get an idea -- DO IT! Don't make another excuse. No matter what that excuse contains, realize it is just an excuse and DO IT ANYWAY!

Three days ago, I decided to STOP wallowing around in my own pity and make one of my ideas come to life. I had the idea for an interactive multimedia product that would enable anyone, regardless of age or experience to learn exactly how to build their own website from scratch.

Of course, the excuses came. There were a million-and-one reasons why I should NOT create this product. For instance, I own a web design business and if I were to release a product like this, it could put my "high-ticket" web design service out of business! Plus, tons of other web design businesses might hate me. What if my product wasn't good enough? What if I took the time to create the product, only to have no one buy it? (etc, etc, etc.)

Guess what? I created and released the product anyway, and it is already a runaway bestseller!
(see: www.HowToBuildYourWebsite.com)

I made the conscious decision to STOP worrying, and START creating my life the way I want.

Now I've got new JV partners contacting ME, wanting to promote MY product!

A new "fire" has been rekindled within me. My passion for marketing is back, and in full-force.

I've never felt better in my entire life, and I feel like a real winner!

I'm writing again. I'm about to do an interview with the legendary Mark Joyner. My entire life has suddenly (in just 3 days mind you) taken a complete turn-around and the best part...

I can sit here and even as I type this -- I can see every other part of my life suddenly falling into place. Why? Because I *stopped* making excuses, and I killed that little, nasty voice inside my head that shoots off an excuse every time I get a killer idea.

Make a promise to yourself right now. Every time you get an idea, write it down and immediately -that very second if at all possible- take some kind of action to make it a reality.

If it falls flat on it's face, get up and take action on the very next idea that pops in your head.

I promise you with everything in me -- if you do this, you will be a dynamite success.

The richest, wisest and most powerful people in the world have failed *more* than they've succeeded... Next time you think you're a failure, realize you're just that much closer to success!

How The Rich and Powerful are Forcing You to be Fat - Lonely - Dead Broke and Depressed!

By “Mr. X” - Special Guest Contribution
www.TheUltimateSuccessSecrets.com

Because the author of this article is exposing the “Secret Systems” utilized by some extremely powerful people who are stealing your money, keeping you overweight, lonely, sad, angry and frustrated…

And because the author has already received threats from some of those very same powerful people…

We are now doing everything we can to protect the author’s true identity.

All in order to at least give you a glimpse as to what is being done to you methodically, systematically, and worst of all, intentionally!

If you have ever tried to make some serious money, lose weight, have the sex life of your dreams, and achieve your deepest - most cherished desires and things did not work out, don’t worry because there’s something you should know once and for all…

IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!

That’s right it’s not your fault for being:

- Dead Broke

- Overweight

- Sad

- Angry

- Lonely

- And Frustrated that you seem to never get ahead, because…

You’re just another victim of these secret systems!

In almost every area, no matter what the endeavor, approximately 97% of all the folks who try that endeavor WILL fail.

- That’s 97% of all the folks who try to succeed on the Internet.

- 97% of all the folks who study courses and programs, from alleviating anxiety to Personal Development to Real Estate.

- 97% of all the folks who try to lose weight.

- 97% of all the folks who try to succeed with a Network Marketing or MLM venture.

In almost every endeavor, approximately 97% of everyone who tries will not succeed.

However, it is virtually impossible for 97% of us out there to be failures!

That kind of consistent failure rate among humans is simply not possible, unless those people are secretly - intentionally, being FORCED to fail.

Here’s some more info for you:

Did you know for example, that the average person living in the United States of America will make between 2 ½ and 5 Million dollars during the course of their lifetime?

That’s 2 ½ to 5 Million dollars earned by almost every working adult!

However, 97 out of every 100 of those very same people, after working their entire life - 40, 45, even 50 years or more, and after earning between 2 ½ to 5 million dollars, will be flat broke at retirement!

And all these folks will then be forced to depend on help from their children, support from the government, and assistance from other charitable organizations just to get by…

- That’s 97% of everyone who has worked their entire adult life.

- 97% of all the folks who’ve earned several million dollars.

- 97% of your friends, neighbors and your co-workers.

- And that means YOU have a 97% chance of being dead broke after working your whole life!

So if you happen to be lucky enough not to be sad, angry, lonely, depressed during your working lifetime, there’s a great chance that you will be when you go to retire...

But Why?

You earned all that money, millions in fact!

And you didn’t spend anywhere near that amount.

You didn’t splurge on extravagant things, like Yachts and Lamborghinis.

You didn’t gamble it away.

You didn’t give it all away to your children, or to charity.

So where is it – where did it go?

The most simple and direct answer is this…

Your money is literally stolen away from you, by a very small group of very powerful people, who use a combination of secret systems that:

a) Have already been put into effect before you were even born

b) That are intentionally designed to keep you from really breaking through to true success, freedom and happiness in your life.

There’s something else you should know right now:

The reason for this 97% failure rate is not human nature.

It is not because:

- You’re not good enough

- You’re not experienced enough

- You’re not young or old enough

- You’re not talented, skilled or smart enough.

It’s none of that. And don’t let anyone ever try to convince you that it is, ever again!

Let me share just two simple examples:

Example One:

It is estimated that every man, woman and child in the United States, during the course of their lifetime is virtually robbed of approximately $125,000 by the very banks that those men, women and children ENTRUST with their hard earned cash for safe keeping.

This money is taken by the banks, by using a series of false and erroneous charges and hidden fees.

Even the “Washington Post” and “The Wall Street Journal”, reported that 75% of all banks were systematically and inappropriately applying mortgage payments from home owners, in order to create greater revenues from false interest charges applied to their loans!

Recently, a 23 year old woman forced her bank to return over $8000.00 in erroneous fees charged to her credit card that she uncovered after using some of the techniques she learned from Mr. X.

Example Two:

Bank and Credit card companies – as a matter of practice – use YOUR signature, without your permission, or your knowledge, to get millions of dollars each day for themselves. But, do they share those millions with you?

NO WAY!

Do they even share with you, on how you can do it for yourself?

Not in your lifetime!

And they didn’t share it with your parents, and they won’t share it with your children either.

These are just two brief and simplified examples. However, these secret systems are much more insidious, and touch virtually every aspect of our lives!

So how can any of us ever expect to break free of these secret systems and the super-powerful people who use them to control our lives?

Well, just by reading this article, just by becoming aware that you and your loved ones are systematically being targeted - you have now become just a bit savvier and are more informed as to exactly what is being done intentionally to keep you down!

Make a commitment to protect yourself and all your loved ones, by learning all you can on how these Secret Systems work, and how you can avoid their traps.

You are now on a new road of awareness.

You no longer have to waste your precious time blaming yourself - like they want you to - in an attempt to mislead you even further, because it is NOT and never was your fault. Remember, to be fully informed is to be fully armed.

About the author:

Mr. X will be conducting a full day, in-depth seminar April 9th, 2005, where he will fully expose the many levels of these secret systems, and will provide real life solutions to overcome them. To learn more, simply go to: http://www.TheUltimateSuccessSecrets.com

Inside the Marketing Machine - Tools for Enlightenment
By Jason Mangrum, Editor
www.InsidetheMarketingMachine.com
Copyright (C) 2005 All Rights Reserved.

I just had to do it.

My wife usually does the "Tools for Enlightenment" portion of this newsletter, but this time... This time I was inspired. See, I've had this technique I'm about to show you for quite some time. I've told many friends and relatives about it and they fell in love with it...

I'm going to tell it to you, but only under the condition that you TRY it. It can't hurt. In fact, most find it an enjoyable experience. The fact is, it works for everyone who tries it. There's actually a scientific reason behind it, and I'll explain that as well.

I'll bet you're curious by now so here it is...

See yourself, peacefully watching clouds in the sky, as they pass by you. The sky is blue and the clouds are just passing by. Realize the clouds are are merely an endless stream of thoughts, trying to forever penetrate your mind and control the way you think, thereby controlling every aspect of your entire life!

Imagine every cloud has it's own unique attribute, shape, size, shade of color -- if you focus on one particular cloud, you'll begin to notice a visual scene playing out whatever that particular invading thought has to show you. Next comes the feeling. The emotion attached to the thought. Emotion triggers a response, and you begin to REACT to the thought (aka. "the invader") which causes you to lose control and become a prisoner of your own mind.

It takes about a week (just 7 days) to Master the technique. It's not just the technique, either.
Once you try this a few times, you'll be able to keep it in the back of your mind. It's so simple, but it holds a key to a wonderful gift. Freedom of outside, intruding thought. Just watch the clouds go by peacefully, with the full knowledge of the clouds passing by are thought, thought forms, emotions, --- these are not a part of you and you can control the very process of "thought" itself entering your mind.

Think about this. How does your mind visualize "thought?"

I've asked many people this question, and they almost always respond with, "clouds."

Now I'm not telling you to sit in a dark corner and practice 3 times a day. The cool thing about this visual excersize is that you can make it an active meditation. This means you can do it at anytime, with your eyes fully open, fully aware and doing other things. It's a powerful way to quiet the mind and calm the soul when you're stressed out, feel anger, depression or any other negative reaction to a THOUGHT.

You may not realize it, but thought controls your life.

Every second of every minute of your life, thoughts of all shapes and sizes have bombarded your mind with every different type of thought you can imagine. It's the little "voice" inside your head catching these thoughts with a myraid of emotions attached to them and pierces your inner being to the core.

The little "voice" is called ego, and he's controlling your life with these thoughts. The Clouds. Remember the thoughts are just clouds and they're passing by. Realize you can do this with your eyes open. You'll see it in your mind's eye. No one will ever know you're doing it. But what you're really doing is something so powerful, you can't imagine it without experiencing it yourself. You can use this mental, visual technique to rid yourself of ANY thought that would normally cause you to re-act and make bad decisions, think you're having "bad luck", or any other intruding thought in your life.

Now imagine yourself, finally in full control of your life. You ARE, because you no longer have those intruding thoughts telling you what to do! I'm serious. If you try it, really give it your best shot, you will absolutely see results in a week. Just whenever you have a thought you "don't like" or don't want to have, remind yourself the thought (NO MATTER WHAT IT CONTAINS!) is just another one of those in the endless stream of passing clouds, and watch it go by, until it dissapears from your view.

Of course you might be skeptical, but I'll bet it's because you haven't tried it yet. If you have, then you're more than likely reading this with a warm feeling in your heart. You can feel the connection between clouds and thoughts. It's so easy, and yet so immediately powerful.

Now, attempt to focus on something. Anything. Those pesky thoughts may keep coming at first, but if you really give this a shot (several times a day for 7 days in a row - mark your calendar) - you'll be able to acheive razor-sharp focus in seconds, live in the present moment (i.e. be fully aware) and give your concentration level a gigantic boost!

The imagery is merely a simple way to give your subconscious a direct "command" to alter your perception of the way you see, and react to thoughts. The scene of peacfully watching a myraid of clouds go by, combined with the internal command to realize the clouds are outside, intruding thoughts trying to control you, creates a force of energy powered with the emotion of PEACE that's strong enough to overpower any thought, negative memory, feeling or experience. You can finally control your own life! Make your own desicions without worry. Enjoy the present moment and feel the energy of love, emanating from creation itself!

This inspires emotion, which fuels the technique and powers the vision. This creates the feeling of happiness, since happiness is the reflection of love. Think about it. ;-)

Try it and you'll see. It's powerful stuff.

Oh, and feel free to publish this article anywhere you like. This is my first time writing about it, and everyone I've revealed it to who've actually tried the technique has experienced massive success with using it every day. (Me included) Make it a part of your every day life, and I promise you - it'll do the same for you. I'll be revealing many more of these "mental mastery secrets" in my newsletter, so stay tuned!

How to Become a Master Copywriter, Literally Overnight!

2005-01-14T03:50:00.000-06:00

Inside the Marketing Machine - Copywriting Techniques
By Jason Mangrum, Editor
www.InsidetheMarketingMachine.com
Copyright (C) 2005 All Rights Reserved.

Jason Mangrum here, with some incredibly powerful information that you simply MUST know if you want to make money on the net. It's called "copywriting" and it ALONE can make or break your success as an information marketer online.

Copywriting consists of the ability to write words on a page (or webpage) that convinces the reader to take immediate action. You could have the most beautiful website around, but it's NOT going to sell your product. The ONLY way you're going to make serious money online is by learning the all-powerful secret art of copywriting...

I realize this is a bold promise. But hear me out. Listen to what I have to say. APPLY what you learn from this lesson, and I can honestly guarantee that you'll improve your ability to convince people to BUY your product -- literally overnight.

Copywriting is known to Direct Response marketers as "Salesmanship in Print." Personally, I don't think there's a more effective way to put it. In the offline world, you see people selling various items door-to-door...

These people are salesmen, and some of them have built an incredible lifestyle for themselves with their ability to convince people to buy what they're selling. However, when you're "selling on paper" it can be a whole different world. Your readers have most likely never met you face-to-face, don't know you from adam, and have no reason to trust you, or listen to a word you write...

This is why writing copy is so important to your success on the internet. Every day we hear the news talking about the latest virus outbreak, or the newest internet scam, etc... this certainly doesn't make our job any easier. People for the most part are absolutely paranoid about giving money to ANYONE they don't know, like and trust, especially on the internet.

Powerful and persuasive copywriting can actually break these barriers and cause your prospects to feel like they know you to some degree, and you can understand where they're coming from. Great copy reaches out to us, takes us by the hand, and leads us down a one-way path... the path of the ULTIMATE SOLUTION.

Now, there are literally TONS of copywriters out there who'll teach you every single step to take to become a fantastic copywriter yourself. I'm not going to take you down that road. I'm going to take you down a MUCH quicker, much easier and possibly even more powerful road to complete copywriting mastery...

To do this, I want you to sit back and just think of the word we've been talking about throughout this lesson. "Copywriting" or COPY-WRITING.

Do you know how the world's best copywriters who ever lived trained their students to become masters? They simply instructed them to do ONE thing... Copy the Writing.

Take the very best copywriting you can find on the internet -- the copy that made you personally take some sort of action (whether it be a purchase, optin form, etc.) print them out, and WRITE THEM YOURSELF, BY HAND. And by "hand" I DON'T mean by typing them into a word document or word-processor -- I mean...

Write each and every white-hot salesletter with a pen, pencil and piece of paper. And then, write it again. Start with one killer salesletter, print it out, and write it by hand, exactly word-for-word, letter-by-letter and sentence by sentence in the exact way it was written in the original copy. Once you're done, before moving onto the next letter, take a short break -- then get out another sheet of paper, and start writing it again.

Repeat this grueling process a MINIMUM of 5 times for each salesletter.

Hard work? Yeah, you could say that. Is it worth it?

More than you'll ever believe, until you do it.

Then, you'll believe.

There's something almost "magical" that happens somewhere in between the process of writing a proven white-hot, bestselling salesletter... You begin to THINK like the person whom you're copying. You begin to actually understand the reason behind everything they wrote in that letter. And you literally absorb their ability to write truly amazing copy.

No one completely understands why this happens, but it DOES happen -- and it's a natural phenomenon of the mind. Through kenesthetics (writing by hand), repetition (rewriting) and by the very process of writing a letter that has ALREADY made tons of money...

You can become a master copywriter, literally OVERNIGHT.

Over the past few posts, we've covered some extremely powerful methods of quickly creating a product that is proven to SELL. You should already have begun either creating your product, or hiring a ghostwriter to create it for you. If you haven't started yet, that's ok -- but remember this FACT... "Action is the Key to Success!"

You can wait to learn all the information in the world about something before you do anything about it -- and you'll soon find yourself in the EXACT same position...

...Just waiting for something to happen before you get started.

You'll NEVER get started this way. Those who've made it online and also offline have done so through creating ACTION. Just keep that in mind as we continue...

Okay, so now you've got your product (or it's on the way) and you're ready to get out there and start making the BIG BUCKS -- there are a few minor details you may want to think about BEFORE you start your campaign...

1. Do you have a website and hosting provider?
2. How are you going to take payments?
3. Do you have an effective web design?
4. Do you have hard-hitting, fantastic copy?

First of all, you're going to need a hosting provider.

A hosting provider will give you the ability to have your very own website. You'll NEED this if you ever plan to make real money on the net. Afterall, if you don't have a website -- how do you expect people to find you? Don't even think of using those trashy free website providers -- do you really want your potential customers to think you can't even afford your own website and domain name? Didn't think so.

This is a "nessecary expense" of marketing online.

HOWEVER -- I've made a very special deal with an excellent friend of mine by the name of Miguel Alvarez, creator of the most fully-featured hosting around. I've twisted Miguel's arm into giving YOU a full MONTH of this superior hosting service... absolutely free!
You'll even get your very own domain name, and unlimited email accounts among a TON of other benefits.

You can check out all the details, here:
http://hosting.howtoinformationonline.com

Next, you're going to need a method of taking payments online...

Most people will tell you to go out and buy an expensive "Merchant Account" - but there are actually MUCH better ways to accept credit cards on your website! ...And much less expensive, too.

For instance, you can begin taking credit cards AND online checks on your website with a ONE-TIME $49 fee to ClickBank. (www.clickbank.com) You could also begin accepting credit cards IMMEDIATELY through PayPal. They've just re-invented their system to allow NON-Paypal users to purchase through their site using a credit card -- instant payments! (www.paypal.com)

I would advise having both of these services on your website, as some people prefer to pay via PayPal, while others prefer to pay via credit card or e-check from ClickBank. You ALWAYS want to make it as convenient as possible for your customers to order your product!

Okay, so we've gotten the domain, hosting and payment options out of the way. There are just a few more technical aspects to work with and then we're ready to start selling!

Once you have a hosting account, how are you going to develop a professional design for your website? Did you know that in a recent survey, it was estimated that over 85% of qualified visitors LEAVE a website because of it's poor design? Amazing, but true.

Thankfully, your Thirdsphere hosting package actually comes with pre-made, professional website designs! -- Now, I'm a designer myself (www.immwebdesign.com) and I'm known to be *very* critical of how a design looks, feels and operates. However, Thirdsphere's pre-made designs actually impressed me with their professional image and attention to important detail. Best of all -- each pre-made design is constructed to SELL! So, if you haven't already, go get your free month of Thirdsphere hosting and see for yourself: http://hosting.howtoinformationonline.com

Alright, we've gotten obstacle one, two and three out of the way -- now we're suddenly faced with the single, most important technical aspect of making money online... The website copy, or "salesletter."

It doesn't matter how well you've targeted your market, created your product, or if you have the best web design on the net -- if you can't write white-hot, compelling copy filled with enticement and persuasion -- you're not going to sell any products, period. In fact, if your written words don't hold enough power to convince your visitors to buy your product, you don't stand a chance online. It's really THAT important. But don't worry -- it's not that hard. But it IS a skill that you must develop. THE most important aspect of selling on the internet is copywriting. Plain and simple.

Stay tuned for the next jam-packed lesson, where we'll explore the mystical art of copywriting, and I'll give you some hints and tips that'll improve your ability to write white-hot copy that SELLS, literally overnight. Until Then!

Inside the Marketing Machine - Special Holiday Update

Welcome back to another edition of Inside the Marketing Machine!

Skye, baby Aaron and I have just returned from a longer-than-expected visit to the small town of Camden, TN where my family lives. We were planning to only stay one night, but then were snowed in, and unable to return home until now. Well, we're back and I just wanted to give a HUGE "thank you" for making this unique publication an instant hit!

I wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful, prosperous upcoming New Year.

Allow me to share something with you that was made evident to me while on my holiday getaway vacation... Some of the richest and most successful people in the world will tell you one of the biggest "secrets" of becoming (and staying) wealthy, has to do with the ACT of giving to others, in order to receive in return. While trudging around in the ecompassing snow, I suddenly realized what these "gurus" actually DID (and still do) that allowed them to utilize giving as a powerful tool for building wealth...

I've discovered that it's not so much the ACT of giving, as it is the INTENT for which you give.

I'll explain.

Those who make the "giving" principle work to their advantage, DON'T "give to receive."

If you give with the sole desire of receiving, you've just negated your opportunity.

However, when you begin to realize the REAL reason for wanting to give, you'll want to give everything you can. And then some. For YOUR personal gain? NO! ...

If you give to others with your sole desire to help EVERYONE enjoy life, you will suddenly realize that this includes YOU. The happier and better off you help others to be, the happier you will most assuredly be - IF your heart is truly set on helping EVERYONE receive the exact same benefit(s) that you desire for yourself.

The desire to receive for the self alone is the sole foundation on which all destructive things are originated. The heart-felt desire for everyone to receive an equal portion, amount or benefit will cause harmony to every situation, without fail.

Never give to receive.

Give with joy in your heart. For in helping everyone, you will always be included.

You can see a perfect example of this principle in action at:
www.ViralTrafficGenerator.com (it's free)

Take a look and notice HOW I utilized the giving principle in order to ensure everyone's success with the "Instant Traffic Formula." Study this site. Study the report. Understand the psychology behind it. It has been built from the ground up to benefit everyone who reads it.

And speaking of giving, if you'd like to practice the art of giving to someone in GREAT need, here's a link where you can make a donation to help the 80,000 (and counting) Tsunami Victims in South Asia. I don't make a dime off this -- 100% goes to the relief fund.

And finally, remember - money is limitless. You can always make more. What better way to invest your money than to give it to people who need it terribly? Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/paypage/PX3BEL97U9A4I

Yep, it's an Amazon page. I got it straight from their site. (And no, they don't make a dime from it either.)

Give yourself a New Year's resolution to ALWAYS give as much as you possibly can.

The next time you order a pizza, give a bigger tip.

If someone needs to borrow $10, give them $20.

I guarantee you that as long as you give with the sole intent of letting EVERYONE have the biggest benefit, you'll never be left out and you'll always be rewarded for your efforts.

The less you worry about money, the more of it you'll have.

Think of it like a bar of soap. The harder you squeeze, the more likely it is to SLIP out of your hands completely! (The same with relationships!)

There's a billion dollar secret. I've integrated this principle into my daily life, and I am a 23 (almost 24) year old, living, breathing and walking testament of this ancient truth.

Try it. You just might like it.

Happy Holidays and Wishing You A VERY Prosperous 2005!

You Are What You Create...

Pause. Steady yourself for a minute and just chill out. Hear the traffic of your mind quiet down...
Imagine this: Each person in this world, when they wake up in the morning is given a portion of light. The light is held in a cup made of a positive image that surrounds you. This "shell" surrounds you day after day and is repaired on a nightly basis, or whenever you find time these days for sleep or meditation.

Every little thing you do in your daily life - every action, every remark, every smile, nod or flash of a thought - IF it is helpful and constructive - makes the shell stronger, and reinforced. Every destructive or harmful thought punches holes in this shell, allowing this precious light you are filled with to spill out, leaving you feeling empty and unfulfilled, unsatisfied and unloved. These things are returned to us, and caused by us. You are the creator of everything in your life, through your own daily habits and behaviors.

The body, like the world is made of, motivated by, and directed with energy. Balance is a natural way to keep order in the universe. Situations are created out of what the universe takes as our desires. Keep in mind the universe does not think in positive or negative, it just hears those thoughts you have everyday and considers them to be what you want manifested in your life. It can’t tell the difference between a want or a worry.

Just breathe. Step back and realize that you are already spiritually perfect. You were created that way. If bad things do happen, all the worrying in the world isn't going to help. It doesn't improve any situation. All you do is cause yourself mental stress that -in turn- gives you more bad thoughts, which lessens your light, which shortens your life by taking your energy.

STOP IT. Stop destructive and distractive habits, and see how your life and those in it instantly becomes brighter. If you were unable to eliminate those things inside or around you then now is the time to break free. Refuse to live in unproductive, uncreative life cycles. Forgive yourself. Know that YOU have control and are given the means to change. Then do it. Act, don’t re-act to your life.

I know that worries come sometimes, but next time try this. Fight back. If you have a bad feeling about an event or situation VISUALIZE a positive outcome of that situation. Do it a couple times, at least as many times as this worry pops in your head. Now when this worry happens, "create your alternative." Allow yourself to know this positive outcome is much closer to reality than some random chaotic worry. You are the master of your existence.

Expect more…

Namaste,
Skye

An Interesting "Twist" to A Powerful Strategy...

Inside the Marketing Machine - Scientific Marketing

Welcome to another edition of Inside the Marketing Machine... In a previous lesson, I introduced you to the concept of outsourcing the creation of your product so you can HAVE a product without writing a word. Today, we're going to continue this lesson by focusing on *other* methods you can employ to get your product created without writing it yourself. But here's an interesting twist...

I'm going to show you how to create a product - without writing - and without PAYING for it!

Yep. Free, powerful, extremely effective product creation tactics - EXPOSED!

Let's begin.

As there are many ways to "skin a dog" (I like cats) -- there are just as many ways to create a solid information product that SELLS. Here's a quick overview of the methods we'll cover:

1. Product Creation with a Partner
2. Product Creation with Contributors
3. Product Creation with Audio
4. Product Creation with Video

Okay, so you know absolutely nothing about the information you want to provide to your target market. You could:

a) research and study the information
b) find someone who already HAS the information!

It's a relatively simple process, and makes so much sense.

Let's say there's already an "expert" out there who knows just about everything there is to know about your chosen topic of interest...

All you have to do is approach the "expert" and tell them you're creating a product that relates directly to their area of expertise. You could either offer to have them answer the problems and questions you found the market wanted in exchange for 50% of product sales, OR you may even be able to get away with offering to interview them in exchange for extra credibility and exposure! Believe it or not, money is NOT the only motivating factor that will cause experts to write your information product.

Unless you're in the "how to make money" market -- (NOT recommended) you may find the experts you approach for an interview will accept just because it puts their name out there even further, gives them extra credibility and provides extra exposure for their name and expertise. You could simply interview them over the phone with questions that directly relate to the research data you collected, and then have that interview transcribed into a written document. And there's your product!

But what if you don't have a decent amount of questions to answer? -- Again, there is a relatively simple solution.

Head over to http://groups.google.com/ and do the following...

In the search bar, try these variations:

1. keyword +"how do i"
2. keyword +"how do you"
3. keyword +"how can i"
4. keyword +"how can you"
5. keyword +"how could i"
6. keyword +"how could you"
7. keyword +"question"
8. keyword +"problem"
9. keyword +"i wish"
10. keyword +"is there"
11. keyword +"do i"
12. keyword +"do you"
13. keyword +"can i"
14. keyword +"can you"
15. keyword +"could i"
16. keyword +"could you"
17. keyword +"how to" -- (keyword = YOUR keyword relating to your market)

Doing this will reveal the exact questions, problems and even desires of your target market!

And if you're lucky, you may even find that some of the questions have already been answered for you!

You COULD simply take these questions and answers, and create a solid information product all on your own. BUT -- here's the advantage of getting an interview with an expert...

Chances are that the expert you interview will actually market the product FOR YOU. Why wouldn't they? It's all about THEM. In their mind, they've basically just received a brand new "tool" to give them extra credibility, exposure, and (if you're splitting the profits) extra money!

But what if there are SEVERAL "experts" within your target market? -- Why not multiply your exposure, credibility and SALES by having each of them contribute to your product?

This is MUCH easier than you may think.

Do a search in google.com for your target market, but also add the following terms to the search...

1. keyword +"professional"
2. keyword +"expert"
3. keyword +"specialist
"4. keyword +"author"

You can also search in groups.google.com for the same terms, but doing all this will expose the perceived experts within your target market!

Make a list of each expert you discover, and type their name into google.com (in quotes) to most likely reveal more about them, and possibly even their website and contact information. If you find their website but no contact information, head over to http://www.betterwhois.com/ and type in the domain name of the expert's website...

You'll have to enter a security code, but once you're in, you'll have the direct contact information (sometimes including the full name, mailing address, email address and even phone number) of the expert whom you wish to make contact.

Contact them via email or phone (recommended) and tell them you'd like to interview them to be included in your upcoming product. In return, they can mention their website to give them extra traffic and exposure. Multiply your results by contacting several experts in the exact same way, and offer the same benefits.

Some may refuse, but others will most likely jump at the chance to have their website placed inside a product directed toward their target market! And you could take it even further by allowing each contributor to place a recommendation or endorsement for the product on their website, in exchange for a percentage of sales that come from their affiliate link... INSTANT SALES.

This is called "Joint Venture marketing" and is one of the most powerful, easiest and FASTEST ways to make it BIG on the internet. We'll talk more about Joint Ventures and Affiliates in another lesson, but for now -- let's talk about two other methods of super-quick product creation...

1. Audio
2. Video

Some of us learn better by reading, others learn visually and yet others learn by hearing. So it's safe to say that you can appeal to your market simply by creating an information product based on reading, audio, video -- or all three!

Of course the sky's the limit on this one, but let's get into a little about how to create a product with audio and video...

This is a *very* simple, yet powerful technique of product creation. Do an interview with an expert (as before) except instead of hiring a transcriptionist to create a written document, put up the recorded audio itself!

You could also do live or recorded teleseminars where you basically interview a different expert every week and create a monthly membership site where people pay YOU each month to hear the next interview!

Getting your audio from phone-to-PC-to-Internet may seem like a daunting task. It used to be a pain in the neck to record your phone conversation, transfer it to your PC and have it encoded and uploaded to the internet. However, my good friend and marketing genius, Rick Raddatz has created a solution for ANYONE wanting to take advantage of the power of audio. You may want to check out "Instant Audio" at:
http://instantaudio.howtoinformationonline.com

Let's move along to product creation with video...

Depending on your type of product and target market, you might want to create a video that actually shows the customer what to do, step-by-step. This isn't near as difficult or expensive as it may sound -- in fact, you don't even need a camera!

Let's say you wanted to create a product that helps people learn Photoshop, a powerful drawing program. You could simply record a "Camtasia Video" of yourself creating various illustrations, drawings, etc. and offer your recording AS your information product...

You may be wondering what the heck a "Camtasia Video" is, well -- Camtasia is a very popular software program that allows you to literally record anything you want right on your desktop! There's even a free version that'll do everything you want it to, and then some. It's pretty amazing software. You can download your free copy at: http://www.techsmith.com/download/studiodefault.asp

But what if you wanted to create a video product that didn't have anything to do with recording the actions on your PC? You get a webcam, and you use Video on Demand! (Check it out here!) As you can see, ultra-quick product creation doesn't nessecarily require you to have to write a single word -- and yet, you could create a fantastic solution for your target market, relating directly to what they're asking for! Who could ask for more? ;-)

Stay tuned for the next lesson, when we'll cover the few ' technical' aspects you must have in order to start selling your product on the internet. This is a *very* important lesson, and one that you simply can't miss. In fact, you may have a hard time selling ANYTHING without it. (Coming soon!)

How to Create A Best-Selling Product Without Writing A Word!

When we left off of our section on "scientific marketing", I promised to give you the next step to take after you have discovered your successful product idea by utilizing Amazon's powerful but "hidden" research tool. Today, we're going to talk about how to actually take the information and market research data you've recorded so far, and create the *perfect* information-based product according to exactly what your market wants....

So far you should have:
a) Your Average market Circulation
b) The Average Price Point for Your Product
c) A Solid, Proven Product Idea or Concept

Now before you go out and create your product, you want to run it through another test to absolutely, positively ENSURE it's profitability...

First, make a list of every possible word or phrase that DIRECTLY relates to your unique product idea. Now, I know that it may seem like you've done this before, but this time what you want to do is to find out how many people are searching right now for the *specific* type of information that you're going to create.

For example, if you were targeting football fanatics, but through your research you found that your market wanted more information on how to score the perfect touchdown, you would be in directly targeting your market! This isn't as good as it sounds. While (in this example) the "football" niche is who you're targeting, for your unique product idea you'd want to ALSO find out how many people are actually SEARCHING for information on how to score the perfect touchdown, or improve their game. Make sense?

There's a fantastic little tool that'll help you do just that, and best of all -- it won't cost you a dime. It's a new type of "search engine" called Niche-Bot, and it'll tell you exactly how popular a SPECIFIC search term is on google and WordTracker...

Just head over to:
http://nichebot.howtoinformationonline.com and type in a word or phrase that most closely describes or relates to your newfound product idea. You'll almost immediately get back some amazing data containing the number of people who searched on that specific term AND terms that are a very close match to the one you typed in. It'll also tell you how many other websites there are out there that you may be competing with in your market.

It's a wonderful little tool, and extremely useful.
Check it out at: http://nichebot.howtoinformationonline.com

Now, once you've "ran the numbers" through Niche-Bot, you'llwant to come back here and continue the lesson...

Ok, back? Let's continue...

By now you should have a pretty good idea of the potential profitability of your unique product idea within your market. If your product idea fails any of these tests, it is highly advised that you simply drop the idea and move onto another one. Think of it this way -- would you rather do a little "work" upfront to find a proven, profitable and successful product that SELLS, or would you rather spend time, effort and money on creating a product that just won't sell no matter how much targeted traffic you throw at it? You be the judge. But I'll take the first option any day of the week. ;-)

Anyway, moving on...

Once you HAVE found a proven successful product idea that will SELL, the very next step is...

...to create the product!

Of course, (once again) there are MANY ways to do this, and it all really depends on the amount of effort and time you want to put into it, versus the amount of money you're willing to spend...

If you're very interested in your market and already know a great deal about your topic OR are at least willing to research and study your chosen topic, then you may want to simply create the information product yourself. However -- there ARE other ways!

What if you just found a highly profitable market that you knew nothing about, and didn't even CARE to learn about? ...You have someone ELSE create the product for you!

That's right. It's called "ghostwriting" and it happens ALL the time. In fact, some of the most successful information products of all time weren't even written by their supposed author!

Incredible, but very true.

Famous "Authors" hire ghostwriters to create their products so they don't have to. Ghostwriters CAN be a little expensive, but if you don't know or care to know anything about the market you're getting into, there is simply no better choice.

Ghostwriters range anywhere from $450 up to $1,000 or more, but that's a ONE-TIME expense for a guaranteed profitable product that you never created but now OWN as if you did!

Chances are you'll recoup your costs quickly from sales coming from your new product's website!

Two of the very best places to find ghostwriters are:
1. http://www.elance.com
2. http://www.rentacoder.com

Now, as I mentioned before -- you may not have the funds to hire a ghostwriter to create your product, and that's perfectly fine as well... In some cases, it may actually be for the better!

...and you can STILL have a product without having to write a single word.

Stay tuned for the next lesson in our "scientific marketing" series, when we'll cover advanced product creation tactics, including how to find the EXACT questions your market is asking that YOU can answer, put into an information product and sell for 100% profit!

Secret Formula Reveals How to Get an Instant Supply of Targeted Traffic to ANY Website!

2004-12-11T14:26:00.000-06:00

Well, it's 2:27pm (cst) over here and the holidays are approaching quickly.

I've been working feverishly on a formula that could bring an instant supply of targeted traffic to any type of website, in any niche market.

BUT if this formula was truly going to work, it would have to be without the use of, or need for paid advertising of any kind.

Here's the formula: (short-form)

IB + LBP = IS + ICW + BN + TC + RSS = UTS + TAP = LIG

I know the letters above may seem like "vauge nonsense" at first glance, but within these letters I have found the secret to successfully rolling out just about any type of website within a few days. We were getting targeted visitors (AND signups) to our website on the very FIRST day!

And the traffic just keeps coming. Why? Because the formula creates a "Perpetual Traffic Engine" (and no it has absolutely NOTHING to do with StartPages)...

Get this. We used the formula once and generated $8,650 in the first two weeks!

At first, we were going to keep this to ourselves. But then we had an idea to put it into a PDF report and sell it for $97. But then we had a far better idea...

We would make the report VIRAL and allow everyone to read it - at no cost.

HOWEVER... If TOO many people actually apply the formula, it will lose it's effectiveness. So we had to take measures to control the extremely viral nature of our discovery...

We placed the report on a website, complete with design & web copy. This was our "little secret" that was now about to be launched out into the world for the very first time. Me and Skye were nervous. I admit we hesitated a little. It's very difficult to control something that is built solely on the principles of Viral Marketing. But we HAD to take the chance...

And we did. We placed our "Viral Masterpiece" at: www.ViralTrafficGenerator.com and that's where it will remain until TOO many people download the report and actually apply the formula within it. Then, I'll take it down myself. Why? Because I do NOT want to create or distribute anything that does not truly work. The entire report was created, based upon the successful roll-out of the very newsletter you're reading right now. Trust me, it works! :-)

Now you'll have a gift you can give to anyone who needs a little web traffic in their lives.

Happy Holidays!

Amazon.com - The Best Free Tool for Powerful Market Research?

Hello again & welcome!

When we left off last time, we were getting into some real numbers about our market's average circulation and even came up with a good, do-able price point for our product, concept or idea...

In our previous example, we estimated that there were about 73,000 people within our target market, who would potentially be willing to pay around $65 for information related to their interest. Now, let's take it even further and find out exactly what TYPE of information people within our market are LOOKING FOR, and willing to buy...

There are several ways to do this, but only a few will give truly accurate results that we can immediately use to create a product tailored exactly to what the market wants. Here's one extremely powerful method...

We can go over to Amazon once again, and type in a word or phrase relating to our market into the search bar on the top-left column. Then click the search button and click on the first listing that comes up.

Now scroll down until you see the "Average Customer Reviews"section... Who would've thought that one of THE most powerful tools for market research was right under your nose this entire time? ;-)

Let me explain...

The "Average Customer Reviews" section contains NOT just the Amazon rating system that tells us how well the product was appreciated among customers, BUT... By simply reading each and every review, we gain an immediate insight into the very MINDS of the people we want to reach! We can read about their problems, their frustrations, what they LIKED about the product, and even what they DIDN'T like.

It doesn't matter whether it's a good OR bad review. Just by reading these reviews, we come to understand the "dialect" the market uses, what they consider to be great information, what they consider to be bad information, and... ALL IN THEIR OWN WORDS.

Are you beginning to see the power of this system?

By making notes about what the market likes, doesn't like and is looking for -in their own words- we immediately come to understand a GREAT deal about those whom we are targeting. This information alone is so powerful that you could actually go through several listings in your target market (on Amazon) repeating the process we've just covered, and have all the data you need for a SOLID product idea tailored *EXACTLY* to what your market wants, is currently looking for, and is willing to BUY!

Pretty cool, huh? ;-)

Be on the lookout for the next lesson, when we'll cover the next step to take to get your newly discovered (or proven) product idea CREATED, and into the hands of hungry buyers!

See you then!

Last time, we talked about Amazon.com and how to use it to find highly profitable markets. Today we're going to put everything you've learned together, and show you how to run some very important numbers to find out how successful your product or idea will be within your chosen market...

I hope you've done your homework from the last post! (If you're new, just read the previous post to see what I'm talking about) :-)

If you did, then you've most likely found at LEAST one profitable market via - Amazon's Magazine listings... From here, there are two roads you can take. Your overall objective for this step is to find out the approximate size of your chosen market. So, you can do one of two things:

1. Buy a single subscription to that publication related to your interest, idea or product. (recommended)

2. Go over to google.com and type in the name of your chosen publication in quotes (i.e. "Reader's Digest") and see if you can find either a website for that publication, or a phone number to contact them.

If you buy a subscription, when it arrives you'll have several advantages, including being able to find out the total circulation of that publication! If you choose not to buy a subscription at the moment, just try to locate the contact information of the magazine so you can give them a call and ask about their current circulation of the magazine. If you found more than one publication related to your interest, product or idea - then it is highly advised to contact all of them, asking the exact same question.

Some magazines may be more popular than others. You're looking for a total AVERAGE of the population of your market.

Sidenote: If you choose to buy subscriptions to all of the publications related to your interest, product or idea, then you'll immediately get extra benefits such as being able to see what type of products related to that market are selling right now in those magazines! (You can get an even further assessment by contacting the publishers and requesting a few back-issues. Look for the ads that keep appearing in the same magazine. Then you'll definitely know what type of product is selling inside that market!)

And you can do even more market research, online.

1. Go over to http://inventory.overture.com

2. Type in a word or phrase that directly describes the type of people related to your market. For example, if I found a magazine tailored to football fanatics and I wanted to enter that market, I'd go to the link above and type in "football")

3. Click the button, and you'll then see your keyword, and related keywords to what you typed in. Now, look at those numbers to the left of each keyword. These numbers represent how many times that particular word or phrase was searched on last month in Overture.com

4. Add up the numbers on the left for every keyword (including your original word or phrase that best describes or relates to your chosen market, product or idea.

5. Finally, since there are four major search engines that in total receive over 95% of ALL internet traffic, take the total number of searches you found on Overture and multiply by four.

These include:

1. Yahoo
2. Google
3. AOL Search
4. MSN

The reason we multiply by four is because it has been proven that approximately the same number of searches found on Overture can be found on the other main search engines as well -- and sometimes, the number is much greater!)

By now you should have:
a) Numbers according to your publications chosen (circulation)
b) Numbers according to your search on Overture (searches)

Since there's no absolute way to know how many individual people are within a specific target market, the most scientific way is to create an AVERAGE and use that total number as the basis for our market assessment...

Ok, here's the formula in a nutshell:

1. Add up the total amount of circulation coming from the publications in your target market

2. Divide by the NUMBER of publications

3. Add the total number of Overture searches, multiplied by four to get the total market average

Here's an example...

Let's say I found 3 magazines related to my target market. Magazine #1 had a circulation of 12,000. Magazine #2 had a circulation of 18,000. And Magazine #3 had a circulation of 9,000.

Then, I went over to inventory.overture.com and found a total number of 15,000 people had searched on my term and various related terms (in total). So to find the average total of my market, I would do this:

12,000 + 18,000 + 9,000 = 39,000
39,000 / 3 = 13,000
13,000 + (15,000 x 4) = 73,000

This gives me a calculated estimate that there are an AVERAGE of 73,000 individual people within my target market. The scientific reasoning behind this number is due to the fact that people highly interested in a particular area or topic are most likely going to be subscribed to multiple magazines, and are possibly even searching for more information online about their related interest. However, the majority of those searching online about their topic will most likely use ONE major search engine, according to their individual preference!

Basically, about the same amount of individuals will use a different major search engine to look for the same information. So at least now we have a number to work with. :-)

Next, we want to find out how much the market is willing to pay for information about their related interest...

We do this by simply going over to http://www.overture.com/ and typing in a general word or phrase that relates to our product, interest or idea. Overture.com is what is called a PPC or "Pay per Click" search engine. Advertisers pay for each visitor that Overture brings to their website.

So we can quickly get a good idea of the market's price range by doing the following at Overture...

1. On Overture, click the link labled "View advertisers'Max Bids" (near the top-right corner of the page)

2. Enter the security code and click "Search"

3. Look at the 1st listing from the top, and see how much that advertiser is paying-per-click to get visitors to their website

4. Take that amount and multiply by 100 to get the minimum price-point for that website to break-even

Now that you have the "break-even" formula, here's an example...

Let's say the top position listing cost-per-click on Overture is $0.65 cents. This website is paying .65 cents for every single visitor to their website... This means that for every 100 visitors, this particular website is going to pay $65. So AT MINIMUM, the website is going to HAVE to generate at least $65 from those 100 visitors to make the campaign break even.

This is called website conversion. (The average website should STRIVE to at least get one sale out of 100 visitors to remain a profitable website.) We'll get more into that another time, but for clarity's sake, we'll say the market will bare an information product with the price-point of $65.

We say this because we're looking at the #1 highest paying website on Overture relating to our target market. And if the highest bidder's break-even is $65, then we know for certain that our market is willing to pay around $65 for information related to their interest!

Now the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together!

So far, (in this example) we have an average market circulation of 73,000 people who are potentially willing to spend around $65.00 each...

...And that's before we've even developed the product!

And it only gets better from here.

As you are no-doubt beginning to realize, basic math plays an incredibly important role in successful marketing on the internet. Next time, we'll go even further into our scientific market research and find out EXACTLY what type of information your chosen market is looking for.

After that, we simply develop the product, write our salesletter, set-up our website and payment options, get massive *targeted* traffic, and begin making SALES!

Stay Tuned!

How to Find out What People Want - And What They'll PAY For!

To begin this lesson, let's go over to www.amazon.com...
Unknown to many people, this is actually one of the very BEST places to start looking for what people want! Amazon has integrated a special system into their website that lists over 80,000 magazine and newspaper subscriptions....

What does this have to do with finding YOUR market?

EVERYTHING. Let me explain...

First, on Amazon, look over to the left-column where it says,"Books, Music, DVD" -- Click on the link labled "Magazine subscriptions" -- Now, scroll down a little and look at the left-column. You'll see several listings of different categories, all containing various magazines and newspapers for different markets. Just glancing through these listings (in ANY category) will instantly tell you that these markets have money to spend -- and here's why...

It costs A LOT of money to run a professional offline magazine. The magazine companies recoup their production and distribution costs by allowing advertisers to run ads inside their publications. The advertisers must continually run SUCCESSFUL ads inside those publications to cover THEIR costs and make their campaigns profitable.

That's why you'll see many of the exact same ads running inside a particular publication. This will tell you that particular ad is obviously making a profit. So it's fair to say that ANY professional offline magazine tailored to any kind of special interest contains a hungry market full of people who are not only highly interested in that particular category or "niche" - but they're spending money in that market as well!

Now you've just been given over 80,000 successful markets to choose from. If you already have an idea or concept for a product or service, see if you can locate a publication that directly relates to that idea. If you've found one (or more) then your idea has already passed the first test of finding a profitable market! Here's some "homework:"

Go through Amazon's Magazine listings in various categories and see if you can find a publication that suits your interest. If you already have an idea for a product (or an already-made product) see if you can find a publication related to it.

The next step is called "Market Assessment" and is all about finding the size of your total market, and running some numbers to find out HOW profitable that market will be, at what price you should charge for your product, and what type of information your market wants - right now! I assure you, all this information will start coming together and making sense when you read the next issue of "Inside the Marketing Machine!"

Be on the lookout for it!

When we left off yesterday, I promised to show you a secret technique of *scientific marketing* that'll allow you to instantly find out IF your idea will be successful on the net. Wouldn't you agree that THIS should be the first place to start? Yeah, me too. Okay, let's get right to it...

Despite what anyone may tell you, making money on the net is a CALCULATED numbers game.

Yeah, it involves some basic math -- but when you see those BIG numbers begin popping up, you'll be very thankful for taking the time to learn this explosive information! I'll begin by giving you an example that illustrates this entire lesson in a nutshell... Let's say I had an idea for a product involving weight-loss. Well, with something like this, it's not too hard to tell that this is a VERY popular market. All I have to do is go over to www.google.com and type in "weight loss" and BAM! -- over 14 MILLION results! :-Z

How could I possibly compete against over millions of websites?

I'll tell you how. By targeting my market! (Now, I realize that you may not be interested in getting into the market of "weight-loss" but what you're about to learn here, can be applied to ANY market, concept or idea)

If I went after people simply looking for "weight loss", I would be directly competing for attention with over 14 million websites. However -- what if I were to try different variations of my idea? What about things like:

-Weight loss for women
-Weight loss for men
-Weight loss for teenagers
-Weight loss for TV stars, etc...

Just by applying different variations to the exact same idea, I immediately get a much better chance of success with my product! Check it out for yourself. Take your basic idea or concept, and think of who would most likely WANT your product or service. Type it into www.google.com and see how many results come up. Then, try applying different variations (as I have done) to your idea, type those into google, and watch the results go DOWN...I'll give you a hint: The less results you get, the better your chance is of becoming successful with your product! Please keep in mind that I'm only mentioning your "product" in the idea-phase. If you already have a product or service to sell, that's perfectly fine. THIS STILL APPLIES TO YOU. However, if you don't yet have a product -- this is for you as well!

I can almost hear you thinking "But Jason, what if I DON'T have an idea or concept for a product -- what then!?" Have no fear -- I once was faced with the EXACT same situation. I had absolutely no clue what I wanted to sell, or who I wanted to sell it to. That's when I started asking myself one *very* important question..."Well, what are people actually looking for?" Here's what I discovered...

There are SEVERAL ways to find out exactly what people are looking for AND willing to buy. And you can look no further than Amazon.com to find out! I'll explain this massive discovery in an upcoming issue. You won't want to miss this -- it has accounted for the majority of my success on the internet. Stay tuned!

Why 95% of the World is DEAD WRONG About How to Make Money on the Internet

Inside the Marketing Machine - Product Creation Tactics
By Jason Mangrum, Editor

Here's a quick tip relating to product creation...

Most people will try to tell you that you should create a product first, and THEN find people to "sell" it to. Believe it or not, this is not only the WORST possible information you could get, but it directly accounts for one of the major reasons WHY most people just can't seem to make money on the internet!

You see, most people will spend endless hours and many hundreds or even thousands of dollars trying to come up with the next "sure fire" product or service that will make them an internet millionaire... They end up basically guessing what people will "need" and hope they'll pay for it. Well, here's a news-flash...

Rule #1: People are NOT motivated to buy based on their needs --They BUY based on what they WANT! For a very clear example, look no further than your local McDonalds... How many people would you guess buy the BIG Macs, vs. people buying the salads? Of course we know that salads are better for us, but most likely when we feel the "need" to run over to McDonalds, we buy what we WANT, *not* what we think will be best for us!

Needs are logical, and mainly based upon survival. (i.e. food, water, shelter, etc.) WANTS however, are purely based upon EMOTION. We don't"need" the latest and greatest invention that claims to make our lives easier -- but we sure want it! So your first fundamental rule is to NOT think of what people need, but instead research what people WANT andthen GIVE IT TO THEM.

I know I stepped a little ahead on that one, so let me back up and explain it further... First of all, you NEVER want to spend your valuable time trying to create a product that you "think" the market needs OR wants. Instead -- if you truly want to be successful, you want to approach this from an entirely scientific perspective...

Your FIRST STEP is to do some serious market research to find out EXACTLY what the market WANTS, AND what they're willing to PAY FOR!

Let me ask you a quick question...

How would you like to know if your concept or idea would be successful on the net, before you even started?

With true, *scientific* marketing, you'll be able to do just that, and then some. In fact, you may even be able to get a good idea of how much money you'll make from a campaign, before you spend a single dime in advertsing! See why market research should be your FIRST step? ;-)

I'm telling you this because THIS is the true starting point, and one that will seperate you from the rest of the "make money" crowd. In fact, over the time we spend together, I can guarantee you that what you learn in this newsletter will automatically put you in the top 5% of those who actually KNOW how to make money on the internet...

In our next update, we'll cover *scientific marketing* in detail and you'll learn how to take ANY idea or concept you have, and find out how successful it will be - before you start!

Stay tuned!

The Most Powerful Creative and Destructive Force in Existence...

I really feel the need to jump right in here, and for those of you who don't quite understand - post your questions here. First I would like to start off by disclosing the most powerful creative and destructive force in existence. Its overwhelming power has long been underestimated by the millions, upon millions that possess it. This power is thought. The basis of all manifestation when coupled with desire, made even more corporeal when this desire is for something not for the self alone.

Always remember the law of reciprocation here. Energy must be exchanged. How much are you willing to give of what you recieve?

Every little spark that emanates from your vast mind, every fleeting topic or worry is a magnet. Therefore your worries (remember this) can negate your desires if they are more plentiful. So to you a positive and creative imagination is the most powerful weapon you have in fighting these negative situations you find yourself caught in sometimes. For this I would recommend taking 5 minutes for yourself everyday to do something constructive towards acheiving your life goals and desires. If you can't make the time to make a change, how can you possibly expect one?

Meditate (I know you hear that one bunches, but we wouldn't mention it if it didn't help), Make a list - of anything you could possibly want (the sky's the limit with this one), but don't forget to include what you will give. It doesn't matter what you give, how big or small, it just matters that you give. Then have faith that you deserve everything you desire. Expect more...

Take a different way home,
Skye

5 Ways to Increase Your Web Traffic TODAY!

2004-11-30T17:25:00.000-06:00

Inside the Marketing Machine - Website and Promotion Tips
By Jason Mangrum, Editor

There are many ways to increase your website traffic, but most can take hours, weeks or even months to see any real results. Of course you don't want to overlook these methods, (every little bit helps) but at the same time you need to be aware of other methods that can start sending you targeted traffic in less than 24 hours!

Here are five such methods:

1. Pay attention to the latest web technologies such as RSS and Blogging. You may have heard of these before, but now is a better time than ever to really learn how these two technologies can benefit your business and give your web traffic a dramatic boost.

Although "RSS" and "Blogging" may sound like something straight out of a techo-geek's handbook, rest assured that these two concepts are extremely simple to grasp.

RSS, believe it or not, stands for "Rich Site Summary" or"Really Simple Syndication." Whether you like to write or not, RSS has special benefits just for you. If you like to write, you can use RSS to distribute your written content across the entire world wide web, instantly.

Even better, when you update your content, it is updated automatically across every website containing your feed! Imagine this. No longer do you have to depend on email to get your messages to your prospects. With email becoming more and more unreliable due to SPAM filters, RSS is quickly becoming THE #1 alternative communications medium for business.

In fact, right now you can get listed in Yahoo in LESS than 8 hours, and *without* paying their $299 inclusion fee. How is this possible? You guessed it. Only with RSS.

For more information on how RSS can benefit your business today, read "RSS Made Easy" by Adrian Ling.

2. Blogging for Traffic - Weblogs or "Blogs" have been around for quite some time, but have only begun to reach mainstream popularity this year!

This is fantastic news for you. Why? Because this is perceived by the mainstream public (i.e. your prospects) as a brand new technology. And tests have proven that prospects will flock to anything new that captures their interest...

Blogging is a powerful method of getting thousands of loyal readers viewing your content - again, without the need for email. Just write a paragraph or two a day and submit your blog to a few "blog directories." You may be surprised to find out how quickly your traffic increases, almost overnight!

You can think of a Blog in the same way you do a journal. Whenever you feel the "urge" to say something, just open your Blog and write. There are no limitations, and very few rules for blogging. You can write 2 or 3 sentences, or you can write 10-20 paragraphs per session. It's totally up to you. The only "rule of thumb" is that you update your blog at least every few days.

Why? The more often you update your blog, the more often the infamous Search Engine Spiders come to crawl your site, and any site linked to it. Search Engines LOVE blogs and will give higher listings to blogs over any other kind of webpage. As long as you have fresh, up to date content ready for the spiders when they come a' crawlin, you'll get all the benefits of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) without the hassle -- i.e. more targeted traffic!

You can (and should) get started writing your Blog right NOW. Don't put it off -- it can only do wonders for your business. There's a totally free resource called "Blogger" that will set you up with your very own blog within minutes. It's extremely user-friendly and there's nothing to install. You can get your very own blog right now, here: www.Blogger.com

3. Remember what I said about not having to write anything? Well, if you don't like to write or just don't have the time, you can use the power of RSS and Blogging to start getting more traffic today, without writing a single word!

Thanks to the amazing web technology of today, you can literally fill your blog with fresh, constantly updated content that you didn't write. And this content can be related to any topic YOU specify. Let's say for example, you had a website relating to "Martial Arts Secrets." You could use a simple piece of software called "RSS Equalizer" to automatically extract relevant news and information relating to Martial Arts, and have it posted directly to your Blog.

Just copy & paste a few lines of code and you're done! This code will automatically update with fresh content, and every time the spiders crawl your site, they'll see your updated website!

Viola! - Targeted Traffic without writing a word.

For further reading on blogging for traffic, see "The Stampede Secret" by Dr. Joe Vitale and Laura Childs.

4. There's another little secret about Blogs. You can use a free tool from Google, called the "Google Toolbar" to find relevant content for your Blog - anytime you want, at the click of a button. Just open a free account with Blogger.com and install the Google Toolbar. (www.google.com/toolbar) Now, do a search on Google or any other search engine, relating to your topic or niche...

When you find any relevant content that you'd like to share with your Blog readers, just highlight it and click the orange "B" located on your toolbar. (It says "BlogThis!"). Like magic, the content you highlighted instantly appears in your Blog. Don't like to write? Just surf, point and click!

5. InstantBuzz - This isn't necessarily related to RSS and Blogging, but is a definite *MUST* if you want targeted traffic to your website in the next few minutes. (No kidding!)

Another 100% free service, InstantBuzz delivers targeted traffic to your website, by showing your ad to the entire IB community, just for visiting the exact same websites you already visit every day.

This is made possible by an ingenius concept created by marketing superstar, Mike Chen. Your ad is shown on a small toolbar that resides conveniently at the top of your web browser. Every time you visit a website, the ad on the toolbar will change, and at the same time, your ad will be shown on another user's toolbar.

This concept is not only genius, it's highly effective. The ads shown are simple one-line text links the user can click at any time to view your website. Unlike banners, text links are proven to be extremely effective in getting a response. You can literally be getting traffic to your website - for FREE - and in the next few minutes.

What's the catch? InstantBuzz is available "by invitation only."

You can only join IF you're invited.

Well, I have a gift for you. Email me at: instantbuzz@howtoinformationonline.com and I'll personally send you an invitation. Be sure to include your name so I'll know who to address the invitation to. Let me know you want an invitation and I'll get one out to you ASAP.

In conclusion, you don't have to wait to get targeted traffic anymore.

Thanks to today's technology and marketing masters at work, anyone can have a successful website. No more excuses. It's never been easier to make a decent living online. Those who take advantage of new technologies while they're still new, are virtually guaranteed a piece of the internet pie.

Grab a slice now, before they're all gone.
