“The Power of Text Links”

Links drive direct traffic to your website. Links directly increase your website’s rankings. Link building is the art of attracting links that you want. Anybody can engage in link building. Links come from anywhere that you want them to come from.
Links can come from…
• Blog posts
• Press releases
• Text links
• Links from websites related to your website

Tip: Your inbound link profile is extremely important. You need to understand what your link profile should look like. You need to build a “natural” inbound link profile. It used to be about the quantity of links. However, the search engines have recently added filters that discount unnatural links.

A natural profile link includes your domain name and a variety of links that directly relate to your website. These links vary in nature. For example, don’t have the same link over and over. Have synonyms of the link instead. This is more natural and shows that you didn’t just go for quantity.

Tip: Permanent links equal equity. Equity is built based upon links that you have over time. So websites that have had links for several years have more power than newer links from newer websites. The key is to not ever stop obtaining inbound links.

Tip: Links that are in the text copy carry more weight than links that are simply on the page.

Tip: Obtain theme related links. Obtain links from websites that relate to yours.

Tip: Build links that you can control. Otherwise, you might incur an over optimization penalty.

Tip: Set up your own Blog. Put the Blog under your domain name. Write interesting posts so people will link to your Blog. Comment on other Blogs. These will build deep links. Deep links point to other pages on your website besides your homepage.

Tip: It’s more important to have a higher percentage of deep links.

“How to Book a Radio Interview”

If you want to be booked on a radio show then you have to provide entertaining, informative content. Think you don’t have the right content for a radio show? Think again.

If you can answer “yes” to any of these then you can be a guest on a radio show.
Can you save people time or money?
Can you make people rich?
Can you tell people an amazing story?
Can you make people laugh?
Can you teach people something new?
Can you get people arguing?
Can you teach people tips and tricks?

Essentially, you are trading good content for a plug for your products or services.

So you have to sell the radio station on your show and in exchange they will give you a plug.

What about newspaper and other print?
Radio is better because you get a lot of time to talk on the radio. You get 5-15 minutes on an average morning show. A talk show usually gives you 30-60 minutes to talk. While a television interview gives you significantly less air time, usually only 3 minutes at best!

Advantages of doing a radio show…
On a radio show you don’t have to travel. You don’t have to get dressed up. 95% of radio interviews are done by telephone. You can do a radio interview from anywhere, anyplace, anytime. You could be in a different country! You can reach the masses while sitting in the comfort of your own home.

More powerful advantages of doing a radio show…
• It is live so you get audience interaction. You can find out what the audience wants directly from them.
• You get to give out your contact information.
• You get to plug your product and services.
• 96% of the US population to the radio every week. This makes radio the most powerful media.

So how do I book radio interviews?
Here are 4 ways to book radio interviews:
#1: Hire a PR firm. Make sure you find a PR firm that gets you on big radio stations and not little radio stations. You should expect to pay $5,000 - $10,000 per month on a retainer to a PR firm.

#2: Advertise in publishing and services that lists guest. RTIR is the biggest and best. Start out by putting an ad in RTIR. They write the ad for you. They write your show pitch for you. The stations call you. The majority of stations that call you in the beginning will be small stations which are fine because you need practice.

#3: Send out a mass mailing or emailing to producers. This is a usually a complete waste of time and money. The only response you’ll get is from small radio stations in the middle of nowhere. You really have to make a phone call instead.

#4: Radio is an auditory medium. It is all about how you sound. Radio station hosts and producers want to know what you are going to tell their audience. They also want to know what you sound like. Do you stutter? Do you curse? They can’t hear what you sound like from an email, mailing, or fax. Therefore, calling the radio station hosts is by far the most effective way to acquire radio show appearances.

“How to pick the right radio shows to promote your product.”

Have you written a book and are searching for ways to promote it? Have you thought about the power of being a guest on radio shows? You can make huge amounts of money by promoting your book through radio shows.

There are almost 11,000 radio stations in America. This gives you a huge market in which to promote your book. However, most are too small and don’t reach very many people. You need to target the big stations.

How do you find information about these radio shows? You need to sign up with the Radio Television Interview Report (RTIR). You run an advertisement in this report which allows radio show hosts to find you and book you on their shows. It is mailed to radio hosts and producers.

You should target the big radio shows, but how do you determine whether or not a radio show is “big”? Most radio stations give two pieces of information: Station Market Ranking and Wattage. These numbers can be misleading if you don’t know how to interpret them.

Market Ranking is simply the size of the city they broadcast in. NYC has the biggest market ranking. This includes every radio station (big or small) that transmits in NYC. So the market ranking doesn’t tell you enough information.

Wattage denotes how big the radio signal is and how far it reaches. A high wattage doesn’t always mean that it has a large audience. The FCC doesn’t give much wattage to stations in big cities because they will bleed over into other stations in nearby stations. Therefore, “big” stations may actually have low wattage. Whereas a radio station in the cornfields may have high wattage, but really be a “small” radio station.

In essence, the station wattage is usually inversely proportional to the number of listeners they have.

So how do you find the real number of listeners for a radio station? There is a company called Arbitron. Arbiton tracks the numbers and rates radio stations. They sell the ratings information for large sums of money.

What can you offer a radio station host? How can you get them to book you on their show? Radio people are in the business of keeping and getting more listeners. The way they do that is to provide great content. They are always looking for content and guests. The radio stations as a whole need about 10,000 guests to fill up their airways. Therefore, they need you.

You can sell your book, website, EBooks, CDs, DVDs, speeches, teleseminars, etc. You can promote anything you want. You can build your list through radio shows. You can increase the size of your list over night. You build your list by pushing people to your website.

Add radio station promotion as a powerful tool to your publicity campaign. You would be surprised at how much extra income you can earn by being a guest on a radio show.

“SEO rules have changed. Do you know the new rules?”

Did you know that traffic generation from a SEO operation doesn’t work anymore because Google has changed? The changes just happened in the last few months on Google. In order to make the most money you need to understand these changes.

Why should I make SEO priority? In one month 6.7 billion searches were done on search engines. Every day motivated buyers use search engines to find and buy products online. Over 200 million searches per day are made through Google. That is an immense amount of traffic.

If you can learn how to rank high on the search engines then you will increase quality traffic to your website. Superior rankings equal quality targeted traffic. If you don’t get this traffic then your competitors will scoop it up.

How much money are you losing if you don’t have a high Google search engine ranking? How much of this money has your competitor snatched?

How can you flood your website with high quality, responsive traffic for free? The answer is search engine optimization. The purpose of SEO is to improve your ranking in the search engine results. A superior ranking in the major search engines is the best way to bring quality visitors to your website.

Google is the top search engine. You can also use Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Two types of SEO:
1.) On page optimization.
This is SEO that you do right on your website. You modify code directly on your site. This is what you say about your website (text, copy, links, keyword density in copy and headline, metatags, etc.) On page optimization used to be the primary place to work to obtain superior rankings in the search engine listings.

The page title is the number one on page factor that you need to focus on.
Page title tips:
• Limit the length of your page title of 65 characters or less.
• Incorporate keyword phrases into your page title.
• Grab the searchers attention.
• Each page should have a unique page title.
• Repeat your title tag in your H1 tags.
• Your title is the link that is shown in the search results of the search engine such as Google.
• Focus on click through rates and conversion rates.

However, there are problems with on page optimization. If you want to rank for something people tend to exaggerate or lie to get traffic. This caused the results in the search engine to differ from the actual websites. Google knew this was a problem. Therefore, Google decided to focus on off page optimization.

2.) Off page optimization.
This has to do with what others say about your website. Google has determined that what others say about your website is more credible that what you say. These other people act as a credible referral.

Links are critical and Google measure your links. This gives Google a way to measure what your site is about. Incoming links count as a vote to determine the relevancy and popularity of your site. An incoming link is a link from another site to your site.

Examples of links include:
• Blog post links
• Press release links
• Social network links
• Text links

“The 2 Types of Traffic Sources for Your Internet Website”

What is the difference between traffic and “targeted” traffic?
You can pay money to get general traffic. However, if these people don’t want your product then you won’t make money. Targeted traffic will be interested in your product and will buy.

Internet Traffic Myth: “If you build it they will come.”
Just building a website does not bring in customers. It really just means you have a spot on the Internet highway and nothing more unless you create a traffic plan.

For example, let’s say you spent all your money on a website. Once it’s completed you think that you can sit back and rake in the money. This is a fallacy. Internet visitors won’t simply stumble upon your website.

You have to promote your website in order to get in front of your prospects.

Traffic Sources: Two Types – FREE and PAID

FREE Traffic:
• Traffic from joint ventures. Joint ventures are the easiest way to make money online. If you can connect with someone else that has what you don’t have then you can make money together. Let’s say you have a product and another person has a list that would be interested in that product.

One problem is that you don’t have a list. How do you obtain joint ventures then? You need to network with people that you meet at seminars and conferences. If you are starting out then you have to work with people near your level.

• Traffic from emailing your own list. You should have a squeeze on your website that captures personal information. If you promote to your own list then you will have a higher conversion rate. Why? Because when you promote to people on your own list you are promoting to people that know you. You have established a relationship with these people. Hence, promote by sending emails to your list over and over.

For example, send two emails to your list every day. Make sure to send quality content to your list.

• You need traffic from an affiliate network. You build leverage when you set up an affiliate network. An affiliate network allows you to have other people sign up and promote your product for you. These affiliates will earn a commission.

• Traffic from common and related Blogs. This can be a huge source of targeted traffic. Find Blogs that are related to your market. Go to the Blog and post an intelligent comment on the Blog. Make sure to put your name and website address link on the Blog post. This link pushes people to your squeeze page. This is a great way to obtain a lot of subscribers to your list.

• Viral marketing referrals. “Refer a Friend”.

• Traffic from search engine optimization. SEO


PAID traffic:
• Pay ezines to include your offer in their email list. This is a great way to get traffic. Make sure to send traffic to your squeeze page.
• Traffic from direct mail. Direct mail is effective if it is done right. It can be very expensive if you don’t test small and know what you are doing.
• SRDS.com – SRDS is one of the largest suppliers of lists. You can buy a list of people that have bought a certain product. You can send direct mail to this list. You are targeting people that are already buyers in your market. Make sure that you know what you are doing and start small otherwise you will lose money.
• Traffic from teleseminars and voice broadcasting.
• Traffic from CPA networks. These are “Cost per Action” networks. You pay for a lead.
• Pay per click advertising – PPC. You pay money each time your advertisement is clicked on. Advertisements are shown based on the keyword theme searched. Advertisers bid on the amount of money they are willing to pay. 20% is click fraud. This is unfortunate and pay per click fraud is getting worse. Be careful of pay per click.

“The 3 Requirements to Making Money Online”

By now you probably know that you can use the Internet to completely change your life. You can go from being broke to being a millionaire. If you are armed with the right tools and take action then you can earn piles of cash on the Internet.

Advertising is expensive. The cost of advertising on the Internet increases each month. Therefore, you need to know how to get free advertising.

The three requirements to making money online include:
#1: OFFER – You have to have something to sell. If you don’t then how are you going to make money? Information products are great to sell online because they have very high profit margins. You can write the information product once and then sell it over and over. With physical products you don’t have this freedom.

Make something that solves and existing problem. People buy things they want, but not necessarily need. For example, look for games that are very popular right now. Figure out an instruction book that helps people play and beat these games. Then sell this information product for a great profit.

#2: TRAFFIC – You have to have a lot of traffic to make money online. You have to find people that are looking for your offer.

#3: ABILITY TO CONVERT TRAFFIC INTO CASH – This is a huge skill. You can become wealthy if you know how to obtain traffic and convert that traffic into cash.

You must get your prospects attention. How are you going to make any money if you don’t get their attention? The main way to do this is to be in the spots where they are already looking. If you advertise in a place that your potential audience doesn’t visit then you won’t make any money.

The key formula is…
Traffic + Conversions = Sales

If you know and act on this formula then you will make money online.

You need targeted traffic and the ability to convert that traffic.

1.) Have to have a great show idea. You must have a great topic. For example, can you share tips or show people how to make money?

2.) You might want to get a toll free number. Just in case you want people to have the option of calling you.

3.) Your website has to be easy to remember. If you have a domain name that is confusing to someone then you have to fix it. Have a domain name that is only spelled one way.

4.) Make sure you have a clear phone line. Use a wired phone. Don’t use a wireless or cell phone.

5.) You should record your phone call. Why? You need to listen to them later so you critique and learn from them. Figure out what worked well and what didn’t.

6.) You have to have a current database of the radio shows.

7.) You have to have a physical and online press kit. It is important to have a physical press kit because radio stations have daily meetings in which they decided who to book. If you send a physical press kit then they can bring this to their meeting. It increases your odds of being booked on their show.

News releases for radio and television is different than newspapers. Newspapers want a story whereas a radio producer wants a “show”.

Follow these 7 tips and your radio show interview success is in your near future!

“Call the Radio Station to Book an Interview!”

Call the radio station and book an interview by following these tips:

1.) Call the producers, not the hosts.
2.) Log all your phone calls. Keep track of who you called and when you called.
Use a database program such as Excel to keep track of radio station information. List names, phone numbers, and a log of the phone calls you made.
3.) Keep your pitch short.
4.) Get the producer on the phone. You will often be directed to voicemail of the producer. Leave your pitch and repeat your phone number twice. Wait two days for them to call you back. Two days later call back. This time when you get their voicemail hit “0”. Ask the operator if you can page them. 95% of the time the operator will page the producer.
5.) typical responses you will receive from producers:

1.) When are you available? They are asking for a time slot that you are available.
Tip: Pitch for the time slot of the morning drive shows from 7:30 – 8:30am because you’ll have the highest number of captive listeners.

2.) Can you send me something (email or press kit)?

3.) Not now, but try back later. Ask when you should call back.

4.) We’re not interested, but our sister station may like. Use this referral.

5.) We’re not interested.

Tip: Be aware that radio has huge turnover. Update your contact database at least every six months. So you can pitch the same show in a few months.

Tip: Avoid taped interview shows because you don’t have any control over when your interview is aired. They may not even air the show at all. Try to talk the producer out of a taped interview.

Tip: When you are booking an interview make sure you know the name of the hosts and the hotline number. You need to know the hotline number so you can call them if you are going to be late. The hotline number is different then the audience call in number.

You got the Interview. So how it should go?

You need to take charge and show up with an agenda. Have a bullet pointed list that you can go over. You want to give out as much information as possible. This prompts the listeners to trust you and know that you will give them even more information in the product that you are selling.

During your introduction, which is the first 60 seconds, you should establish two things. 1.) Why are you an authority? Talk about your credentials.
2.) Why should people listen to you? Give evidence as to why you are the expert on this topic. Give your back story. They prefer personal experience to people that have PhD’s.

During the meat of your interview let the radio show host ask you the first question. When you finish answering the question then go into another question/topic. Go into each topic so you can control the interview. Of course, answer questions from the host and listeners as they arise.

“MySpace – A free database of leads.”

Do you know about MySpace? Have you heard friends or colleagues talk about MySpace? Have you seen news about MySpace on the Internet, TV, and newspapers? If not then you must have been living under a rock. MySpace is relatively new, but is used by millions of people. Therefore, you should integrate a MySpace strategy into your Internet business.

There are many advantages of myspace. For example, you can obtain leads by creating “friends” on MySpace. When you open a MySpace account you get a “friends” list. MySpace is free social networking. 171 million people are on MySpace. If MySpace were a country it would be the sixth largest country in the world.

MySpace has demographics that are broken down by age, sex, geographic location, and income levels. MySpace is essentially a free database. You can target people based on demographics and ask them to be your “friends”. Once you build the “friends” list then you can market to them.

Being able to grab this information about MySpace is extremely powerful!

MySpace also lets you do blogging. Blogging is powerful in MySpace because it is free and other MySpace people can find your Blog. They can ask you to be their friend after reading your Blog.

Why do MySpace pages translate into making money? An example is a magician that created a MySpace page. He made money working at trade show events. He wanted to get a friends list of event planners through MySpace. You can go to Google and find people in MySpace using these keyword demographics. He then sent all those people an email. He ended up getting several event bookings as a result of creating this type of database.

Check out these Internet statistics…
6.4 billion searches are done per month using Internet search engines.
42% of people click on the first result in the search engine results. Then it drops off significantly. So if your website isn’t listed in the top spots on Google then you are missing out on website traffic.

Utilize the power of the Internet along with MySpace and watch your leads grow exponentially. You can open a MySpace account in a matter of minutes.

Components of a Powerful Website

How do you create a powerful website? Following are list of action items that will help create a powerful website.


You have to create heroin content. This type of content is content that sells a product that everybody wants and has to have. Heroin content is content that gets people to take action on a product that benefits both you and the customer.


You have to capture leads. You need to obtain the personal information of website visitors so you can market to them over and over.


You need to generate large amount of traffic. You can create a beautiful website, but if nobody visits your website then you won’t make money. You have to have a powerful design and traffic.


You can use the Internet to increase networking.


Your website needs to be easy to find. You can accomplish this through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO makes the search engines want to find your website.


Your domain name helps (or hinders) how people find you.


Your website should provide solutions to customers’ problems. People go to websites because they have a problem that they want solved. You need to be the person that solves their problems.


You should have a good layout and design on your website. For example, you need a squeeze page.


You always want to have crisp clean lines that are easy to read. Your website has to be readable! If your website is difficult read then customers will go away.


Make sure your website is easy to navigate. For example, it should be easy to find your contact information on your website.


Your website should have a modern look and feel. Your website reflects who you are and what you are doing in your business.


You don’t need to have something expensive to sell on a website.


Think about your domain names. Website search engines, such as Google, see your domain name as keywords. This is how they rank you against your competitors.


How does your domain name tie in with the business you run? Your domain name should reflect the products and services you sell. Essentially, your domain should have a purpose and intent related to your business.


Create more products to sell. You can create a product from a top ten list. For example, if you are a lawyer you can create a top ten list of things to do to find the best lawyer. This top ten list can be converted in a product that you can sell on your website.


Offer free Autoresponder series, newsletters, and downloads in exchange for a customer’s name and email address. This allows you to continually market to your client list. Offer incentives that encourage your customers to purchase more items.

Your Road Map To Success...

You've got to plan your way to success...


When it comes to promoting yourself or your company, you've got to put it down on paper. For example, recently my wife and I went over our 52-week plan and our sales funnel.

We went through the whole process that you would take from when you first find out about me and my business until you join my coaching program.

When you write things down like this, it forces you to flesh out your ideas and allows you to have a record of them in the future.

Like I said once in a meeting,

"How can you hit your target, if you don't know where you are aiming?"

Take action now,

The Critical Importance of a Powerful Internet Presence.

What is the purpose of an Internet business website? An Internet business website gives you a presence on the Internet. The purpose of this website is to give you worldwide exposure. You can send products to people all over the world. You can deliver information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You don’t have to sit at your computer; you can earn money while you sleep!


If you do not have a website or you have a website that is not making you massive amounts of money then you are missing out. Your competitors have a powerful Internet presence and every minute of everyday they are snatching up the profit that could have been yours.


What is the purpose of creating a powerful Internet presence? How does this differ from having a simple website?


A powerful Internet presence makes connecting and networking with people all over the world much easier. You should significantly revise your website every 2 years to keep pace with the change in business and technology. Think about it, you wouldn’t wear clothing styles from the 1970’s, so your website shouldn’t be behind the times either!


If your website is not designed effectively or with the latest technology then customers will get a bad impression about your business. Plus, people have an even shorter attention span on the Internet then they did in the past. For example, increases in connection speeds have shortened the attention span of Internet businesses.


As of 2006 the average time a person will spend looking at an Internet webpage is 9 seconds. In 2007, it decreased to 7 seconds! This means that you have to captivate people with your website within 7 seconds. Otherwise, they will go to your competitor’s website. The goal is to not only capture their attention, but to get them to take action and buy your products and services.


Another benefit about selling on the Internet is that you can sell more items at once. Plus, you can automate the selling process. You can make money when you sleep. You can sell something that didn’t cost you any money to manufacturer or ship.


You can also sell products and services not available in any other format. For example, you can sell e-books on your website.


Analyze your Internet website. Does it utilize all the technological tools available? Do you have a powerful Internet presence or just an average run of the mill website?

Promoting Tips

There are many 'gurus' out there that will present information they regurgitated or read in a book a few days before they speak with you.

If that is what you are looking for, then you have come to the wrong place.

This incongruencey has hurt Your pocketbook.

And I'm here to put that money back in your pocket.

Here's how:

For over two years I have promoted Mark Victor Hanson, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Mike Litman, Les Brown, and Many more......and now I get to sit on my butt and make money in my underwear.

I will teach you everything I've learned from promoting the Top Experts in the world.

For example: My Internet Magazine called, "Millionaire Minutes," on Wealth Building, grew from 897 to 10,971 in less than 29 days.

Prepare for the truth on how things work behind the scenes.

You can sell ANYTHING on EBay!

Do you like to fix old TVs? Maybe not, but many people do. Think of all the garage sales where people buy items because they want to fix them up or restore them. This same idea can be applied to EBay. You can sell broken and old items on EBay. People will buy them!

If you do sell items that have wear and tear just make sure you let people know that the item is broken or used. You would be amazed at what people will buy. For example, one lady sold 6 half used lipsticks for $53. Don’t look at your old stuff as “junk”, but as “treasures”. When they are “things” no one wants them, but when they are called “items” everybody wants them.

So where should start when looking for items to sell on EBay?
Everything you own, regardless of their condition, has cash value. Everybody has something that they can sell. Look through your attic. Look through your closet. Look in your garage. Every area has items that you no longer need. You can sell these things on EBay.

Some of the items sold on EBay are crazy. One person sold a cane that was supposedly haunted by it previous owner. Guess how much the cane was sold for? $65,000! Another person sold an empty bottle of cologne for $32!

You can also go to garage sales and thrift stores to find products to sell. This can be in addition to selling items that you already have.

How do you start selling on EBay? You need to “list” your item. Listing your item is a simple process.

Note that you only get 55 characters for your listing title. Grammar is irrelevant. However, spelling is critical! If you spell things incorrectly then people can’t find it.

The title you put in your listing has a huge affect on the number of people that view your website. For example, a poor listing title can only bring in 2,000 views while the correct listing title can bring in 12,000 views.

There are more steps to follow that you should learn from an EBay guru. You can also peruse top power sellers on EBay and see how they set up their listings.

Still not convinced that you need EBay for your online business? Think again. One major advantage of EBay is that you can use it to build your client list on any subject in any market on any topic. EBay is a great way to build your database. You can post a link to your business website. This helps you to capture personal information and build your client list.

Tips to get you started on EBay today!

If you run an Internet business then go through the following checklist:
1.) Do you have a company website?
2.) Do you have a MySpace website?
3.) Do you have an EBay website?

Most online businesses have a company website. However, many online businesses have yet to take advantage of MySpace and EBay. Let’s take a closer look at EBay. It is a cash flow system that can rake in thousands of dollars even when you are away on vacation.

To properly set up and run any cash flow system you need to learn from the BEST guru in your area of business. For example, if you want to learn how to play golf you should learn from Tiger Woods and not the local golf shop professional. Do exactly what these experts say. They can walk you through the process step-by-step.

Essentially, you need two things: A system and a viable marketplace.

The key to success is to have a system! EBay is a cash flow system. Plus, EBay is the fastest and easiest way to make money on the Internet.

EBay is here to stay. EBay can’t be ignored. You have to know how to do it. Otherwise, you will lose money.

Registering on EBay is as simple as clicking on the “Register” button. Once on EBay there are a few key steps you need to accomplish in order to maximize the profit potential of EBay.

Step #1: Establish credibility. You must develop good EBay feedback. EBay feedback is composed of a score from people you sell to and people you buy from.

Step #2: Put your systems in place. First you should sign up for PayPal. It is the top method of payment on the Internet. You should also take money orders and checks. Just don’t ship until the check clears.

Step #3: Photos on your EBay listing are extremely important. Three things for photos: Dress appropriately, never use a flash, and use a really small file size. You need a small file size so that it loads quickly. Otherwise, if it takes too long to load then people will click off your website.

Step #4: Sell stuff you already own. This allows you to easily sell things you have and earn positive feedback.

Step #5: The six top categories on EBay include Electronics, jewelry, collectibles, sporting goods, clothing, and cars. EBay is the largest online car dealership in the world.
2 million new items are added everyday. The most expensive on EBay is a 5 million dollar jet. Sell items in these categories and you have the highest chance of success on EBay.

EBay – Are you Missing out on this Lucrative Opportunity?

Imagine making loads of cash on the Internet. Wait; if you are reading this then you have probably already had that very thought. However, have you taken action to achieve this goal? Do you know all the opportunities available for making money on the Internet?

For example, would you like to follow in the footsteps of an EBay guru that has sold over 20 million dollars worth of pool tables on the Internet in only 3 years? Do you want to earn the awesome reputation of Titanium Power Seller status on EBay?

This EBay success story has EBay knowledge, but it takes more than knowledge to be successful. You have to take consistent action to make knowledge powerful. You may be full of knowledge, but unless you use it, you are missing out on opportunities.

Have you ever had an opportunity right in front of you, but just didn’t see it? EBay is an opportunity ripe for the picking if you can recognize its value.

If you have a formula for success and you implement that formula then you will achieve consistent successful results.

Let’s take a closer look at our EBay success story. This EBay guru had a brick and mortar store in which he sold pool tables. Then he started to sell pool tables on EBay. Guess what! The pool table sold for $300 more on EBay than in his store.

EBay not only makes money, but affords you flexibility as well. If you want freedom, flexibility, and time than EBay is for you. So it is not just the money that we want, but the things the money allows us to do. For example, we want money so that we can take family trips and pay bills.

EBay is just one place to make money on the Internet. You still need to have a full Internet presence. You need multiple streams of Internet income. This means that you should always be on the lookout for new opportunities. EBay has been around for several years yet not everyone has taken advantage of its power.

“5 ways to be invited to Speak at Teleseminars and Events”

If you want to significantly increase your income potential from your Internet business then you need to step up to the platform. You need to speak to massive groups of people at teleseminars and events. This sounds wonderful, but how does someone get invited to present at these events?

There are several accomplishments that can put you on the program at the next teleseminar or event. Each accomplishment involves ramping up your profile based on your visibility, networking, and salesmanship skills.

Following are 5 ways to increase your chances of being invited to speak at teleseminars and events:
1.) Write a book.
This is a huge way to gain credibility and exposure. Doors will open for you when you are a published author. You will be asked to speak on radio and television shows. You will be interviewed in the newspaper as well. People will perceive you as the authority of the topic in which you write.

2.) Have high ticket products and coaching.
This shows that you are a high roller in your niche. Ultimate Gurus offer these services. Check out the product lines of the top Internet gurus. They offer services that are a few dollars to several thousands dollars.

3.) Ask!
You will never unless you ask and the worst they can say is “no”. Be persistent even if they say “no”. If you’re not persistent then you are nonexistent. Go to events and network with the big names. You may be surprised at how much you are offered if you simply ask.

4.) You need to be a skilled closer.
You need to be able to reel in sales. Take care of your clients and your partners. Demonstrate that you aren’t just babbling words for the sake of it. You have a clear direction and valuable product that everyone must have.

5.) Leverage your list.
If you have a great list then people will jump over hurdles to have access to your list. You are in huge demand which puts you in a great position.

The biggest keys are to have a list and to be a great closer. Promoters will promote you. You’ll be passed around the teleseminar and speaking circuits. It is a snow ball effect. You will be considered famous in these circles. Be careful, the Ultimate Guru understands that it is not about the fame, it is about the fortune.

“Secrets to a Lucrative Sales Presentation”

How can you make the close of your sales copy presentation powerful? What is the secret? What words should you use and when to extract the most amount of money from the people you are talking to?

Ultimate Gurus understand that speaking is a media. You speak to sell to and acquire customers. They know that teleseminars and events are an effective way to gain a quality following.

Following are tips that can help create a perfect presentation:
1.) Have a detailed list of all the benefits and features of your product or service. Let people know the value of your offer. You want to refer to these numerous benefits often.

Questions you should ask yourself:
What in the world gives you the right to talk about what you are selling?
Why in the world should somebody spend their money with you instead of the alternatives?
What is the cost for not taking action on your product or offer right now? For example, talk about how it is more dangerous for the customer to try to accomplish the task without your help.

It is very important to use hypothetical or real highly detailed examples during your presentation. Use testimonials if you have them. If you don’t have any testimonials then talk about the success of the strategies. Stress how much time and money a customer would lose if they didn’t use your product or service.

Use urgency and scarcity in your presentation. These two techniques should be used for good and with integrity. Tell them that taking action is the key to success. They should take advantage of the beneficial opportunity you are presenting to them.

Address the most common reasons why people wouldn’t take the opportunity to use your product. Show them how they can overcome these reasons.

Tell customers EXACTLY what they need to do to take advantage of your opportunity. Tell customers where they need to go, payment information, etc. Take time to explain it thoroughly so they are not confused.

These are the components of a lucrative sales presentation.

“Your List and Salesmanship: Two Critical Components of Success”

Many Internet entrepreneurs new to the online business world believe that you have to a product to sell before you should build a subscriber list. Hog wash! Build your list first. Your list will help you design and build your products and services. You can ask your list what they want and give it to them. The feedback from your list is extremely powerful.

Following are two ways to survey your list:
1.) Have software that compiles the information you need. Go to http://www.askdatabase.com to find this software.

2.) Email your list. Ask them about their most pressing problem. They will respond and give you the feedback you need. You can build your product based on the wants and needs of your list. You are much more likely to sell the product and earn more money if you work in this manner.

If you have a product or service, but no list then you are in a bad situation. Why? Your product or service may not meet the needs of a list that you build. The moral of the story – always build your list first! It is better to have a list, but no product or service to sell. The Ultimate Guru builds his list first.

Besides building a list, you need to drive into the market and stake your claim. Go to events where you target market is at. Find out and observe their buying habits. Also find out how the other gurus are marketing to your target customers. What words are the gurus using that prompt customers to take action? Model what these successful gurus do and add your own twist and flair to it.

Ultimate gurus will buy the products of their competition to find out what is out there. This is marketing research to help them understand what is successful and why. They take these lucrative marketing strategies and adapt it to their business. What can you learn from other markets and gurus out there? How can you implement their strategies into your business with your own personalization?

The Ultimate Guru knows how to be the ultimate salesman. They know how to make the “power close” in their sales copy. They know how to make consistent money each day, but to also sell the big ticket items. They understand the need for daily money as well as huge income days through the big ticket items.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Baby Bacak Boy Dates and Name…

Hey Friend,

My son will be here in a few months, I’ll let you in on the dates and the name in a sec…

But First, have you ever had a friend that you could sit down and dream with or someone that you could put your money together and it felt like magic when it grew.

Everything you both touched together just made money.

Well, I once had a friend like that in high school and his name was Brian Todd Willett.
But tragically, Brian Willett died in a car wreck when I was in college. It was one of the saddest days of my life.

I just wrote an email to my parents letting them know that I decided to name my son after my best friend, Brian Todd Willett. So my son will be named `Brian Todd Bacak’

Brian will be missed but never forgotten.

With this being said you may be wondering when my little guy arrives and how in the world I would know the exact date.

Well Brian is breech so we are doing a c-section on Sept. 4th.

I can’t wait to meet him.

With that being said, I’ve only shared with a few people the next news. I have decided after the arrival of my son, I’m taking a huge step back from the teaching thing.

I’m going to focus on my family and my other streams of internet income so I am living out my dreams.

How this could affect you:

In order to spend as much time with my new son as I can, I have decided that I’ll no longer do my “Millionaire Internet Training” Workshops…

I recently had a meeting with my entire office where I made the announcement.

I told my personal assistant to cancel all of the rest of the potential dates for the classes and to call the hotel where the event is usually held and inform them that we will not be needing their services.

So what does this mean for you?

Well, simply stated it means that if you have been on the fence regarding whether or not you want to make the time to come work with Me Personally, NOW is the time to get off the fence!

I did decide to have just 2 more Millionaire Internet Training Classes before the arrival of my new baby boy…

Class #1: July 20-22nd (few seats remaining)
Class #2: August 24-26 (few seats remaining)

After the August class, there will be no more Millionaire Internet Training Classes!

So If you are interested in joining us for either of the last two events ever, then go below right now and apply for a free session to see if you are a good fit for these events.

http://www.actionstrategysession.com/

You only have 2 chances left to personally work with me in a small classroom environment.

http://www.actionstrategysession.com/


Warmest Regards,
Matt Bacak

P.S. After you fill in the application form you will get scheduled to talk with a strategist, I’d ask them about the “I’m Having a Baby” deal.

Leading from Within

Women are not like men. Being a woman is about receiving and drawing things to you. This goes against what you normally think about leadership. Leadership is usually viewed as pushing people and making them do the things you want them to do.

Women are different. Women are about pulling. Leadership is usually thought of as giving orders. Instead, you should figure out how to pull people in.

How can you accomplish leadership through pulling?
Leadership Tip #1: Be in control of your life. You can’t be a victim in your life. You can’t be indecisive. For example, let’s say you are diagnosed with cancer. You can either feel like a victim or take control. To be in control you could cut off your hair and donate it to a child in need.

Leadership Tip #2: Respect. Respect yourself and others. Saying meaningless things during a conversation are not respectful of all parties involved. For example, “I’m sorry” is a commonly used phrase. This phrase is often used inappropriately. This phrase means that you aren’t worthy of the person you say it to. It might be more appropriate to say “excuse me” or “you have my sympathy”. This allows people to respect you.

Leadership Tip #3: Take action. Don’t wish and sit around waiting for life to happen. Go out and take action. Complete the steps necessary to achieve the life you want. Set up your life so that it is possible for what you want to come to you. Be in a business that you love.

Don’t limit your business so that you aren’t successful. For example, you need to find ways to open the door to your business that brings in money as well as happiness. You need to make your business marketable.

Take what you love to do and examine the different aspects of it to make it marketable. For example, if you are an artist you need to find a way to create the art you want and also market it successfully.

Find what you love to do and find a way for other people to appreciate it.

Power Tools of Internet Millionaires

Dominating a market on the Internet requires a savvy mind. You need to know how to leverage your power. You can leverage your power through killer copywriting. However, copywriting alone will not shoot you to the top of the Internet market. You need two more tools in your toolkit of power. These two tools include knowing how to leverage the power of traffic generation and how to build a list.

Power Tool #1: Leverage the power of traffic generation.
Traffic puts people in front of your messages (copywriting). If you learn how to generate a massive amount of traffic then you are the King of the Internet. It only takes one traffic generation source to rise to the top. Become an expert on that traffic generation method and you will be flooded with offers for joint ventures.

The 17 sources of traffic generation that are profitable include:
Integration marketing
Affiliate marketing
Ezine or paid advertising
SEO
PPC
Teleseminars
Blogs
Podcasting
Voice broadcasting
Direct mail
Article marketing
Joint ventures
Viral marketing
Viral videos
Bonus traffic
Golden rule traffic – This is his new method. It relies on the core elements of a website and Autoresponder.

Don’t become overwhelmed by these methods. Don’t try them all at once. Focus on one method and work with it to its fullest potential.


Power Tool #2: List building is extremely important. List building is a combination of copy writing and traffic generation. With your list, you obtain targeted traffic on demand. A list enables you to drive thousands of people to your website. Your copywriting then prompts the website visitors to buy. Basically, when you send an email to your list, you will earn money!

You don’t have to learn copywriting, traffic generation, and list building all at once. You can create a joint venture with people that are skilled in the areas you are not. For example, you may have a list, but don’t have good copy writing skills. You can find a joint venture partner that has excellent copy, but doesn’t have a great list. They use your list and you use their copy. It is a win-win situation for both.

The Power of Copywriting

Too often Internet businesses chase trends instead of focus on skills development. The Internet will change and move much faster than you could ever move. Therefore, chasing each Internet fad that pops up could cause you to go in circles. To avoid this vicious cycle you need to ask yourself this question – Am I going to chase the ever changing technology on the Internet or develop core skills that will make me money on a consistent basis?

The correct answer is that you should develop core skills. What are these core skills? First, think of the adage that knowledge is power. This is not quite true. Instead, knowledge is “potential” power. Applied knowledge is true power. In other words, you should leverage your power to make money.

You need to work on skills that you can leverage. These skills are different from normal skills. Normal skills are skills such as Graphic design. For example, a web designer may have the skill to create a website. This type of skill is a “by the hour” skill. The web designer has to physically create new websites all the time.

In contrast a skill that you can leverage is one in which you complete the work once and are paid over and over again or exponentially for that initial work.

If you want to be extremely successful in the online business world then you need to master copywriting. (Or outsource your copywriting to a skilled copy writer.) Copywriting is a skill that can be leveraged.

Copywriting is salesmanship in print. When you write a sales letter you can use it over and over. You only have to write the copy once. A verbal sale, in contrast, is a sales technique that has to be pitched to each and every person.

Copywriting includes, but is not limited to squeeze pages, sales letter, emails, and Blogs. Copywriting is the foundation of all the money you make on the Internet. Copywriting can come from virtually anything including teleseminars.

How do you dominate your market? Provide the most interesting and relevant copywriting. You may think that you area is saturated, but a market is never saturated. Only uninteresting Internet entrepreneurs think an area is saturated. For example, you could send an email with a random subject line to hook in readers.

Unleash the power of copywriting and leverage the immense power it contains.
