Here’s hoping you’re having a great week
I’m about to head off for a BBQ with Rachel and some friends and family.
But before I did I wanted to get this post out. Yep – working on a Sunday again…lol
(when I wrote and emailed this…lol)
I don’t normally like to work on a Sunday – But as well as Dr.Mani’s link now being live, I had some updates that had to get done.
(Especially as Rachel and I are taking the girls to the seaside for a weeks holiday on Friday!)
I finally managed to finish moving all my downloads (nearly a thousand) from http://www.MoreMonthly.com onto some space at Amazon S3!
It’s taken weeks – but will save me a heap of cash on the hosting.
The site was so big it needed a dedicated server of it’s own!
And with already having one for http://www.WizardResponderPro.com
I didn’t want to be paying for another.. So now we will be downsizing our other sites to a smaller hosting account while keeping the dedicated server for WizardResponder!
(All our sites would have fit on the same one – but Pete and I are very aware that we didn’t want anything to upset the delivery rates of our clients email marketing… hence we keep Wizard completely separate!)
Anyways – other than that I have been doing a lot of blog hopping, as I’m sure a few of my readers will have noticed, as part of the 100 blog challenge I’ve mentioned.
http://creatingmybusinessonline.com/the-100-blog-comment-challenge/
It was great to see people like John Thornhill and Jim Cockrum mention this too… so it’s going really well for all who’ve joined in!
(Not too late if you would like the extra free traffic!)
I’ve also joined a new social site that I’ll mention further down…
But first things first – check the next section and go spend the $20 I told you to earmark (I know… cheeky git aren’t I?)
Chat soon

Re:
http://randysmith.co.uk/recommends/DrMani
Dr.Mani’s link is live….
Here are more details about it
(Just so you know it can and will help you as well as the kids with CHD!)
This was difficult to create – but it turned out ok!
He started out with a $1,997.00 home study program.
Kept the most critical core concepts intact. Modified some of the content so that it summarized most of the material.
Addressed every single major concern the bigger program deals with.
All this so that the condensed version, though not as thorough and powerful as the full program, still packs a pretty punch!
Why did he bother?
Because for some people who need this coaching, $1,997 is simply too much.
Like you, most of my subscribers and clients KNOW that products and services I recommend are worth the price – and more.
But even if it IS ‘value for money’, sometimes there simply isn’t enough money left to get it!
You may have other expenses. Stuff takes priority. Maybe you’ve even got your eye on another product to buy!
If that’s YOU, I still don’t want you to miss out.
But if a low 4-figure price-tag is out of your budget, then grab this special deal – because you’ll get most of the value at a TINY fraction of the cost!
It’s DOLLARS for Pennies, DIAMONDS for Coal!

* BUY ME…lol – A Fun Social Site
This is new to me, so I’m not sure how much it will benefit us as yet….
But Dr.Mani recommended it so I took a look:)
It’s a new social site that is fr’ee to join. AND – it’s yet more links back to my sites,
(So it can’t be a bad thing)
What makes it somewhat fun is that you can buy and sell shares in each other (NOT real ca$h!!)
It also links up with your twitter and facebook feeds etc.
So initially I think it’s another chance as some publicity for free, backlinks, and a way to waste a few minutes that might actually benefit us from making more contacts and getting more traffic.
The site is called Empire Avenue, here’s my link:
http://www.empireavenue.com/randy
Be sure to endorse my blog and buy some shares in me…lol
And here is Dr.Mani’s link as he mentioned it to me in the first place:
http://www.empireavenue.com/drmani
I see he’s worth more than me already…hehe But hey – I now own a piece of him…lol
Check it out if you have some time to kill, as i said – I’m not sure how valuable the backlinks will be yet but it doesn’t cost anything but time, so it may be worth a play

* New Giveaway Site Helping Kids – Contribute & Build Your List!
Hey, I know you’re busy, and I know I’ve already mentioned Dr.Mani a heap today….but please read this!
(Yes most of it is copy and pasted – but it’s all true and can benefit you as well as the Kids with CHD!)
I wanted to make sure you had an opportunity to participate in this special event, especially after you hear the whole story. Don’t miss this. This is one of those times you can help yourself and feel really great about it!
Plus you’ll save lives.
Kids lives.
You can have the satisfaction of knowing that you -yes, you - have saved a kid’s life today. These children have fatal heart diseases that require open heart surgery to survive.
But, these kids are incredibly lucky because they’re in great hands – yours. And you are even luckier because you’ll have the satisfaction of saving lives first, feeling the warmth that comes with having a huge impact on real lives.
And if that’s not enough, you’ll also have the opportunity to drive traffic to your websites, build your lists and make upsells for additional income.
There’s an ancient Greek philosophy called “Enlightened Self Interest”. Basically, it translates into: What’s good for you is good for me, so I’ll always do good for you first.
Here’s your chance. Don’t believe me, take a look at Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian.
You do know Dr. Mani, right?
If you’ve been online for any time at all as an information marketer or student of online marketing, you’ve probably heard of Dr. Mani or purchased some of his products. He’s one of the most successful and respected information marketers, coaches and sought-after instructors working today.
And If You’ve read my numerous mentions of him, you also know that he is a practicing pediatric surgeon in Chennai, India?
And did you know that he has raised more than $137,200 from donors and portions of his profits to sponsor heart operations for more than 70 children with congenital heart defects?
And did you know that the Niche Affiliate Marketing Workshop (the fastest growing internet marketing workshop in the U.S. today) has adopted Dr. Mani’s foundation as the focus of a listbuilding and joint venture workshop during the week of NAMS4?
From Aug. 20 to Aug. 27, 2010, we plan to raise at least $10,000 that will go to the foundation to directly fund open heart surgery on at least 7 children.
Here’s the thing:
You can help drive traffic to this monster giveaway to encourage folks to donate to the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation with just a couple of emails.
Here’s what super-fundraiser Beth Kanter says about Dr. Mani:
“Dr. Mani is simply amazing in his passion and dedication
to his cause. His knowledge and ideas about personal fund
raising have also helped and inspired many other people -
like me.”
We’re expecting more than a million emails to go out that week to promote this event. You can step in front of that stream of traffic by joining us today.

How are you? – I’m hoping you’re well, and I hope you checked out the 100 Blog Challenge?
http://creatingmybusinessonline.com/the-100-blog-comment-challenge/
I’ve been blog hopping all week, and I’m amazed at some of the great posts I’ve come across!
I’ve also met some new people who may go on to become good friends… so although it takes a little time – for me the benefits far outweigh the time it takes to make new friends.
PLUS – as a by, the extra traffic I’m getting is nice too…lol
Don’t worry – I’ve not been working too hard
I just neglected other activities…hehe
Actually – I had two days practically stuck at home and suffering with a tummy bug 
(not nice at all)….
Thankfully that’s cleared up now so I thought I’d write on a Sunday evening to catch up a little.
OH – and I got my new glasses too!
Or was that over a week ago?… Either way I’m getting used to them now (Varifocals) – around $350 for a pair of specs!!!
It seems I have to wear them all the time now and not just for reading (I guess I’m getting older)
On the home front, I’ve had time off to ‘babysit’ Cameron due to the school holidays, and time out for some social fun with Rachel… (see – how could I fit much work in?)
But I have kept up as ever with my emails and support tickets…
Well mainly www.WizardResponderPro.com questions and customer support, I did leave a couple of JV requests unanswered for a couple of days.
I also wasted a good few hours changing all the passwords and login info for www.GuruBypass.com admin – as it seems we had a visit from a skilled
marketer who has no scruples!
He managed to hack into the site and use the mailer to send a promo for some PPV program (I sincerely hope no one visited it)
I did get an email to let me know, so it was just the one…. But the clever ‘BarSteward’ (me trying to write illegitimate person) had deleted my own membership – so I didn’t receive a copy of the email or I would have acted sooner!
(That knocked my confidence in the LFM script)
Oh well – what’s done is done and is now rectified – and I hope you knew it wasn’t me if you got one of the emails… I NEVER sign ADMIN, I always am happy to sign my name to my emails!
(Future hackers take note if you’re on my lists! – You might be clever but it’s short term… Use your skills for good and you might make your mothers proud!)
Anyway – I’m rambling already and I have some important stuff below, so I’d best get on with it
Let’s see if we can’t save you from wasting some of your online budget and give you some news of where it might be better invested!

* A Genuine Review Of Mobile Monopoly
I saw this product being promoted by so many people, I figured it had to be a major launch!
And with reports of doing over a million and a half last week already – it seems it is…lol
Now I was invited to JV on it – BUT…All I had seen was the prelaunch videos – and they are fantastic… what a great presales job!
I was very tempted to promote it as it all made so much sense… or at least the sales pitch did!
BUT
Yep – a large one..
I then started asking some more techy people what they thought of it?
When Martin Brock (www.vtctalk.com) wrote a full review on the warrior forum my eyes opened !
So much so that I asked Martin if I could steal his review and use it to show my readers!
He’s a tech and doesn’t yet have an IM site, but you can follow him on twitter here:
http://twitter.com/martin_brock
Anyway – here are his words:
—
I actually spent a few hours on this review, so I hope it is ok that I post a new thread about it.
I apologize for the poor grammar/writing – I wrote it very fast.
As I stated in the other thread, I am only reviewing this product because a friend of mine bought two of this guy’s previous products. I paid for this one myself, and I will be refunding it out of sheer principle. I would have refunded the two others as well if I had paid for them.
There are 11 modules and some extra videos in the members’ area.
Module 1 – A lot of mobile stats and data in this one, most of which should not be surprising to most people who regularly follow industry news.
Module 2 – In this module he seems to go on and on about sending traffic to mobile optimized squeeze pages. What if 30 people converts, then I just made $150”, “this can really start to add up”, “Alright so I send them a Clickbank offer, and boom” – that last one is just classic, timeless relationship building advice! (I hope you can detect the irony). He goes on with “I get a huge list that I can market to forever”, “CPA stands for..” and so on..
He keeps talking about his conversion rate, and various numbers, and how much money you can potentially make, and yet fails to explain how to accomplish it – is it by any chance because sending traffic straight to affiliate links is THE most fragile business model in existence? The rest of video 2 contains more pipe dreams and “think of the possibilities” moments, again without any tangible, actionable direction.
Module 3 – Here he explains how the interfaces of the ad platforms work again peppered with regular “just think of the possibilities” moments (sorry if I repeat myself, but monkey see, monkey do, or whatever the appropriate saying is in this context.. I am speed writing here! – this is very basic stuff.
Module 4 – More from the same drawer – and then the big secret is revealed. I don’t even own a cell phone, and even I know that a mobile browser is different from a standard browser. At this point the “just think about how much money you can make” filler is getting more than unbearable.
Module 5 – “Clickbank is amazing, you can make a lot of money with it” that is not an exact quote, but close. He spends a long time explaining the basics, and includes regular mentions of “big money”. He also talks about his squeeze page software – which comes at additional cost (67/month) – but he never provides any tangible proof that the squeeze pages presenting the mobile offers are the true source of his income, or that they have any sort of real effect.
Module 6– In this one he shows how to get affiliate links from Amazon in order to sell physical products as an affiliate – the most creative part about this module is the title: “let’s get physical”. I noted that his account shows no sales activity. This is generally another uninteresting video that covers very basic stuff.
Module 7 – In this module he explains how to get pay per call offers. Pay per call is really just another way of tracking an affiliate sale, but through a phone number instead of an affiliate URL. Again, the information provided is very basic “how to find an offer” interspersed with even more “easy, easy money” comments, but no real guidance or insight is offered.
Module 8 – In this one, the “just think about the possibilities” moment deals with mobile marketing for local businesses. Sure, you could go out and manage mobile campaigns for local businesses – they may not be tech savvy, but you can be sure they want to know exactly what they get from their advertising dollars. And what do they get? Is there even enough volume to support very specific local offers through mobile advertising? He just mentions this as an idea, one of many, that is not supported by anything tangible in the form of how to do it, or what results he has accomplished (I know what my guess is).
I did see the remaining videos, but found no reason to mention anything further about them.
Oh, except the Iphone app module. That was the first video that actually made me laugh out loud. Again, completely in line with the rest of the product – he talks about possibilities and potential, and how a lot of people make a killing with apps – but again – with no with real direction.
I will just let these links speak for themselves:
So, You Want To Develop iPhone Apps, Eh? You REALLY Want To Read This! Dvorak Uncensored: General interest observations and true web-log.
Is The Rush To Develop iPhone Apps Creating A Bubble? | mocoNews
And a quote from one of the articles:
Supercollider Blog reports on several levels of paid app downloads, the relevant number is that half of all paid iPhone apps get less than 1,000 downloads. The median point is under 1,000. Lets call it 999. That number times $1.95 per paid app gives the ‘most typical app’ the total revenues in its lifetime – the full two years of App Store existence – of $1,948 dollars. This is before Apple takes its cut of 30%, so we are left with $1,363 over two years or $682 per year. This is so ‘successful’ that half of all of the developers of the 164,250 apps – will actually earn LESS THAN THIS. Before you start to cry, remember, there is that Angry Bird game that had 4 million paid downloads and the Bewelled 2 game with 3 million paid downloads. Thats your math there, they are totally skewing the averages, and you are stuck in the ‘long tail’ indeed. Half of all developers will earn less than $682 per year. Do you still think this is a good business idea?
The overall verdict
There is a lot of filler and basic stuff where he spends time on the usual suspects; Clickbank, what is CPA offers, and so on. “Clickbank pays high commissions” and “Amazon pays lower commission”.
Most of the content has been regurgitated in 100s if not 1000s of products since. The few things he mentions that some people may not have heard of (such as pay per call) are covered in an extremely superficial way.
He almost never (if at all) mention aspects of real online marketing (relationship building, improving conversion rates, pre-selling) – stuff that is vital – but maybe that is because that sort of thing requires real EFFORT which would be more than 99% of his intended audience bargained for (judging by the sales letter). To fill out the holes it is apparently much easier to just have tons of “how to sign up for Clickbank” videos – yes, I think that is actually a title of one of the videos.
In regards to getting low CPCs – you can not by any standard compare the CPC of display ads and search ads. Getting a positive ROI is by no means guaranteed just because you get clicks at just a few cents. As an example, it is relatively easy to get clicks from Google (Adsense), and a number of other platforms from 3-10 cents (I have nothing for sale here or anywhere else), in some markets higher. I have done that several times. The key however, is conversion, as most of us know. And on top of that, it seems that most people are paying much more than the few cents he talks about.
He does not go in and show concrete tangible examples of winning campaigns – sure he has “proven” campaigns. But anyone who knows anything knows that any CPA network or affiliate network will throw their best performing campaigns at you like they were dead rodents (I realize that was a pathetic analogy . No solid proof that he makes money from the mobile offers is ever presented – why does only Clickbank and Paypal earnings show on the sales page? He is particularly generous in showing his Clickbank earnings in the sales videos. But he does not navigate to the pages in his various accounts that show proof of earnings in the videos inside the members’ area. For someone who likes to talk so much about how much money he makes WHY does he not show any real tangible results achieved promoting these offers? And why do all screenshots/videos that involve his campaigns show all campaigns on pause?
As someone else have already hinted – which is completely on par with my own sentiments – is the fact that you get a very distinct feeling that the author is not actually applying most of these things, he just explains the “potential” and how this is “easy money”, and adds in various random potential earning scenarios, conversion rates and so on. A critical voice might infer that the results shown on the sales page could very well come from sales of his previous “make money online” offers in Clickbank (which also supports Paypal), and not from real b2c affiliate marketing offers on mobile phones. The author has so far been unresponsive in terms of submitting the proof I emailed him for.
In reality, it is not as easy as he makes it out – as also already pointed out earlier in the thread by someone who is doing it – and several other posters who have posted results from their campaigns. And those who make the wildest claims, including the author, does not seem to want to or be able to provide irrefutable evidence of their alleged quick, easy, and significant earnings.
Now – I could probably write another 5-10 pages about this product easily. But the time I have already spent is more than enough time wasted. I think is a shame that this type of product can “break through” in these circles. Of course, people can get a refund – but they can not get their time back, and the money invested in campaigns that don’t produce results.
And if this is by any means the industry standard, a lot of people will end up in a cycle where they jump from one quick fix to another because the product is carefully constructed to give the illusion that it does really work with no effort required…”but just not for me”. And so, the story repeats itself with no one the wiser because “quick fix” authors refuse or lack the skills to educate people on the true principles of Internet marketing.

* Better Places To Invest in This Week
Well now we’ve seen that we might not want to believe the hype follow the mass sales just because other have….
I figured I’d best mention a couple of sites that I believe are worthy of a serious look:
The first is available now and provides some great options:
In fact as part of my own testimonial for Rob I wrote:
“If people study your blueprints, I’m sure they may find
that they lean towards something they may not have thought
of before….. And yet they find so much more fun, and profitable!”
http://randysmith.co.uk/recommends/12roads
Rob’s course is actually a complete set of 12 business blueprints that will take you to business success in a series of easy to follow steps.
Robert shows you how you can use very simple and cheap solutions to sell more products to a very targeted audience who will return to you to buy time and time again.
Complete with pdf and videos, Using the information in 12 Roads to Success you can build a series of low cost start up businesses that will provide you with an income for years. Or choose one or two that you may not have thought of before to focus on.
At the silly low price (with no hidden extras) I would suggest taking a look for yourself:
http://randysmith.co.uk/recommends/12roads
I hope you find this recommendation useful

My Second recommendation would be to grab a bargain that will help Children with CHD…
Yep – Every once in a while I try my best to send some traffic to Dr.Mani’s sites like:
http://www.chdinfo.com/chdaware/howdonate.htm
But today – I’m actually promoting one of Dr.Mani’s products
It doesn’t launch til the 15th,
but I wanted to get you to earmark $19.95 now so you can grab a bargain and help save a child
When Dr.Mani’s “Think, Write & Retire” launched on Amazon.com, it raced up the charts to hit #83 in the Business & Investing category within 16 hours!
This book was written for a worthy cause, one that I believe you will want to get behind, too.
You see, ALL profits from the book launch were donated to his Children Heart Foundation, to sponsor a child’s life-saving treatment.
Over the years, the Foundation has raised over $130,000 and sponsored SEVENTY surgeries up to now.
“Think, Write & Retire”
Will be available as a digital ebook from the 15th August 2010 that can be instantly downloaded – and I hope this will raise even more money to help more kids live!
Like a ripple, word will spread – and a lot of folks are already excited about this launch. (hopefully I beat them to it in telling you well in advance)
By buying your copy on the 15th, you’ll help raise money to heal a child’s heart.
Will you do it, please?
There’s also another reason I’d like you to buy your copy…
You’ll Get Over $120 In Gifts & Bonuses!
Get your copy on the 15th August from here:
=> http://randysmith.co.uk/recommends/DrMani
Oh, and please tell your friends too.
Thank you
Best wishes
Randy
P.S. – The Good Dr. will have an upsell… Your choice to look at it or not, all I can say is it will be a great product!
(He doesn’t do hyped up fluffy stuff!!)
P.P.S. - If it helps, I have a review copy of this BUT.. I’ll still go and buy it again because I want to know I helped too!
AND the product is easily worth more than the cost!
P.P.P.S. Dr.Mani just recommended I look at EmpireAvenue.com (a new sort of social site), So I have looked and joined (More details in my next post) – but I need to add this code EAVB_DTILRUXZEC in order to activate my blog feed (so now that’s done…lol and my profile is http://www.empireavenue.com/randy)

I’d love to be walking in the countryside right now, Probably up at the local reservoir in Osmotherly, it’s very beautiful there and peaceful too….
But I’m stuck at home working for a change
Mainly because Rachel has taken her girls to Disneyland Paris!
She went at the crack of dawn Thursday and isn’t back til Monday
(I’m missing her already)
So Thursday night I went out with my daughter, who took me to ‘gay night’ at one of our local pubs. That was a fun night and I met some lovely people!
Not everyone there was gay (obviously…lol) – but I was fascinated by the number of folks (mainly women) who go along just to see what the TV’s are wearing!
(There must be a great marketplace for selling oversize ladies shoes and frocks if anyone wants to look into it, and they do say the ‘pink pound’ (or dollar) is a profitable market place to enter these days)
Anyway – Friday was babysitting night for Cameron, so that kept me occupied, and then today I reckon I’ll be working again just to pass the time (or maybe catch a movie later)
I think by Sunday I should have loads done and I’ll be pulling my hair out waiting for Rachel and her girls to get back on Monday evening!
It’s amazing how we get used to certain routines isn’t it?
So there you have it – a lonely week for me – but one that will lead to far more getting done in my business…lol
Speaking of business – Having so much time free, I’ve been able to take a good look around the sites I mention below, so as well as wanting to tell you about a retirement sale on the 7th – do check the giveaway and the SEO links below!
Here’s hoping you’re not missing anyone this weekend.
Have fun and remember to do something that will take your business forward….
Action makes such a difference (but don’t let it get in the way of loved ones!!)

* Freebies – All Original!
Today’s the day!
Keith Purkiss and Michael Ottman’s St Swithin’s giveaway is launching!
Being honest – I haven’t bothered with giveaways for too long!
One reason was that when I was doing them I saw so many products repeated all the time!
Well I’ve joined this one because it is different!
It’s called the “original products giveaway” – so there’s an opportunity to grab some paid and never before seen products here.
As well as knowing Keith well (and knowing he’s a good guy), I really liked the format he chose of Original Products only, hence I join and would encourage you to take a look
http://originalproductsgiveaway.com/
Keith and Michael know a LOT of marketers from networking events, forums, coaching courses etc and have persuaded them to give away some of their best “original products and services” in a huge event launching on Friday 2nd July!
I’ve had a sneak preview and some of these are paid products that have NEVER been given away before, and some are being specially created just for this event.
Just sign up using the VIP Link below and enjoy a ton of valuable gifts that you can download at zero cost!

* I Hate SEO – This is VERY Good!
Good Freebies Alert:
Imagine this…
With just a few clicks of your mouse you uncover hidden waves of cash in hand buyers…
Buyers who are FANATIC in their quest to throw money at you…
Now open your eyes.
Because that power is sitting right under your nose.
That, my friends…is the power of SMART keyword research.
If you think you know all there is to know about keyword research.
Think again.
Get this $47 report at no cost if you can click over fast enough.
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/GSupremacy
It’s digital GOLD.
You MUST know how to do this if you’re serious about succeeding online.
==
Hey – I just discovered Craig will be changing the freebies throughout prelaunch!
So you get more than just the one…. what a cool idea!
==
Once you have the freebie – there is definitely going to be an offer…lol
But hey, don’t all freebies these days have something attached?
As ever – it’s your choice as to whether it’s something that will help you.
But here’s what I can say…
I was given the main product to review and I wasn’t looking forward to it!
Honestly – I hate SEO and all that, it’s just as bad as techy stuff to me.
However – On forcing myself to read through the info, I was actually impressed at how easy Craig made everything sound.
I think it’s the step by step approach and the 45 day blueprint that made it simple to follow and actually Understand!!
(lol)
So it’s definitely one I would recommend taking a good look at when it launches!
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/GSupremacy
Meanwhile – grab the free stuff and see if it helps enough to make you want to consider the launch offer on the 6th, before it increases.
(I wrote a glowing testimonial for the product so it might be on the salespage when it’s live – if it is, have a read of what I said … I meant every word!)
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/GSupremacy
Randy
P.S. Do grab the freebie… SEO is something everyone needs to know, and if it’s not easier for you afterwards – simple unsub, but I’d bet you’d rather take a look and learn some good info!

Well another busy ‘offline’ week for me
Yep – camping again last weekend, same place and another great time in the outdoors with one Sunny day at least…lol
I also picked up my new car last weekend, so I’ve been driving that all over just to get used to trying to drive it slowly! (very hard to do!)
(Rachel hates it – it glues itself to corners and goes like a very fat car…. OK I wanted to say ‘Sh*t Off A Stick’ but wasn’t sure if that term is used in other countries, and I don’t like to use bad language in print either…lol)
I was hoping to email earlier – but time with family and some hassle with a non isp related service that reports spam did cause a few issues Pete and I had to deal with!
I found it hard to believe that someone could cause frustration with delivering our clients emails who wasn’t isp related…..
But hey – it just proves we can’t take our eye off the ball when providing a service! - Thank fully 95% of the grief was handled without any disruption to the service we offer.
But what a hassle having to answer to, and send related proof, dates IP’s etc. to someone who has no power other than to say 2 of their users weren’t happy at receiving an email they couldn’t remember optin in for!”
If you could have seen the complications involved – you’d really know WHY and you’d really want to ENSURE you were using a 3rd party service like WizardResponderPro.com !
We managed to appease all the concerned parties because of the thousands of dollars worth of system we have in place, and the knowledge we’ve gain over the last couple of years of running WizardResponder – but I’ll tell you what…. If someone with a shared host and their own script had the same issues, I guarantee they wouldn’t have a website now!
Seriously – if you’re going to build a list make sure you have a good autoresponder company look after it for you!
Naturally I’d recommend WizardResponder, but there are other good ones out there if we’re too cheap for you
Anyway – there does seem to be a lot happening this week, so I will try to keep the rest of the email brief and leave you to use your own judgment on what’s worth looking at for YOU and your circumstances
With regard to the subject line:
One Do, One Don’t - Equally Important!
The Do is:
Keep abreast of what is happening with all the latest launches!
As you can learn a lot just from watching. Whether that is How to launch, how to generate buzz, types of emails to send, what salescopy or videos work, and what people are buying etc.
The Don’t is:
Don’t let it all get to you and cause info overload!
Or go spending all your ca$h on everything you see… it wont help to own everything… It only ever helps if you stick to buying products that are going to be of use in the direction you’re moving!
A great analogy would be knowing that we need sun cream to prevent us from burning and causing skin damage…. then buying cases of it just because the salesletter offered you a fantastic deal if you buy today….
If you know you’re coming to the UK for a vacation – you just suffered the equivalent of info overload and wasted your ca$h!
However if you were off to somewhere like Spain – then it would be considered a great investment!
So by all means check out the latest happenings – but keep things in perspective and remember the one do and one don’t
=====
* Still Loving TECP
See my blog for a full review,
I just wanted to mention another part of the service I think is great!
They send daily alerts which highlighted the fact that I’d completely forgotten the text ads and banner ads I had earned in a couple of TE’s
This meant that I was now told I had around 3000 banners ads to assign and believe it or not over 10,000 text ads still to assign!
If it hadn’t been for TECP – I would never have gotten around to assign those and gaining even more traffic and exposure!
Was that brief enough
Next….
=====
* The PLR Monthly FireSale Closes at Midnight!
$28,950 DISCOUNT CLOSING SOON
Sorry, this is definitely one I should have mentioned earlier in the week! This is URGENT! There are only a few more hours before the biggest firesale of the year closes forever.
If you like quality PLR that you can turn into your own products, then do check this out.
This FireSale is about to expire for good and will not be seen again.
This really is the FireSale of the year don’t miss it!
How was that for Brief?
Next…
=====
* Thanks, your free Autoresponder Code BLUEPRINT [Value $37]
This is one every affiliate in the world seems to be jumping on. Mainly because you get paid even for sending new affiliates!
I’m mentioning it because we could all learn about making a launch massive from this.
And also ‘cos you can get a freebie for subscribing
What’s The #1 Super Affiliate Weapon? (assuming you know how to use it?)
Think you know the answer? I bet you do! Check it, and earn your FREE BLUEprint:
Again – very brief because It’s one of those everyone recommends but most haven’t seen the full product (including me!) - so no major pitch to buy it… just take a look at how Tim has marketed it!
Do feel free to spend some ca$h if you think it will help you – but you’re on your own on this one
Brief again… wow I’m getting good at this…hehe
Next…
=====
* Another cool freebie from Lee McIntyre
Hey, here’s one I don’t have issues with recommending
It’s a BRAND NEW video by Lee revealing a four step system for building your online business… FAST.
Go here to grab this right now:
But be WARNED that this is a little *controversial* and WILL ruffle some feathers.
So go watch the presentation before it’s taken down for good, okay?
You’ll be glad you did..
To your success!
P.S. – Quite Honestly – Lee will try and bribe you to take a $1 trial afterwards to his latest program, but that as always is your choice – his stuff is quality if he manages to tempt you
P.P.S I have no idea how this will be available for but my hunch is it will be coming down sooner rather than later.
So if you don’t want to miss out
I’d strongly recommend you go right now…
I’m getting good at this Brief stuff aren’t I ? … or not…hmm
=====
* Tony & Tony – Even Better… Bloginuity!
And finally – another happy recommendation
If you have, or want, a blog – do check the Two Tony’s Bloginuity…
I’ll let them tell you about it:
Subject: Let us do all the work for you…
Selling on the internet as an affiliate can be tough.
If you try to do the whole thing yourself that is.
Well I have a feeling you’re going to thank me because we’re about to introduce you to something that does all the work for you.
All you have to do to do is to grab your place in Bloginuity, embed your Clickbank ID, tap a few mouse clicks to make your WordPresss review blog unique, upload it and start earning affiliate commissions.
Find out more by clicking the link NOW
Let us do it for you, so that you can concentrate on the really important part of your business – banking those affiliate checks!
Best wishes,
Tony Newton & Tony Shepherd
PS The BEST thing about the whole deal is that ANYONE can operate this business from scratch in just DAYS!
If that wasn’t as brief blame the Tony’s
But hey – Rachel has called 3 times – so I best run
(cos naturally I’m in charge and don’t take any grief from my woman….. but errr, I made a management decision to not keep her waiting… so there!) …lol

* Catch Up
Hi & Welcome to June
And I hope you had a great holiday weekend where ever you are.
I understand it was Memorial day in the U.S.?
We had our Spring Bank Holiday weekend – so it was a long weekend in the UK.
I’m way behind on a few bits – but still managed to take the weekend off and go camping with Rachel and her girls… And I mean ‘proper camping’
No facilities or modern site, right back to nature!
Green fields and a roaring campfire! Although I ached from cutting up wood and splitting logs – there was a deep sense of satisfaction to it all once we were sitting staring into the flames of the fire.
And the girls loved watching the Fire Fairies/Pixies dancing and flying off as I would add more logs and give them a shove into the red hot cinders
The site we went to is what we term a rough camping site. Which basically means the only facility is a compost toilet block! (That was one of the things you tend to put up with rather than cherish about the countryside…lol)
You can see some images at their unfinished website:
http://www.SentryCircle.com
Anyway – in true holiday weekend fashion, my car broke down on Saturday, so we really did have to rough it…lol
(all sorted now, though I had to wait til this morning for the garage to be open!)
I’ll also admit that I couldn’t wait to jump into a hot bath once we got home!
Some modern luxuries really are worthwhile!…lol
Anyway – back to it now, and it’s June already. I hope you’re moving along nicely with your goals and plans for the year?
I know my business is continuing to build steadily – but never as fast as we all would wish.
That said – Sometimes I do feel grateful for that, as I’d hate to get back into the rat race of feeling pressured to do everything NOW, and missing out on some of lifes simple pleasures like the camping weekend.
It’s always important to remember the WHY’s when we are feeling frustrated.
And one of my Big WHY’s – IS to be able to work when I decide, not when I’m told to.
So be sure to remember your reasons for building your online business, and don’t let the business control your life!
Right, Enough of me rambling on, I’m sure you’re wanting to know what the subject line was all about…lol
So lets move on
=====
* Why I’m Went Commando Yesterday!
Yep, I’ve gone commando!
But it’s NOT what you think – honestly!
My friend Paul Kinder (known him for around 6 or 7 years now), and Scott Martin have just released a very impressive new site called TE Command Post.
This is like no other site and fills an absolutely gaping chasm in the traffic exchange market.
For readers who use TE’s – you’ll absolutely love this!
And for those who don’t yet – I reckon you will when you see how much more organized this makes using them!
And let’s be frank for a moment…
Even though most Gurus will knock TE’s and would rather sell you a course on PPC, The fact remains that hundreds of thousands of people do surf them!
And hence they are a great source of free traffic! (something we could all use more of!)
I genuinely believe (from personal experience) that one of the main reasons successful marketers move away from mentioning them as much – is because it takes such a long time staying organized once you’ve joined more than a handful!
Well this site is going to make that task so much easier I can see a massive increase in the numbers of people using them… which means we all benefit from more and more free traffic
=> http://www.tecommandpost.com
This is not only something surfers want.
This is not only something surfers need.
This is something surfers have been begging for…
For years!
It’s something Paul needed to manage his traffic exchange campaigns so he enlisted Scott and together they built and developed a system they now use themselves each and every day.
And now it’s available to you!
Check it out, all FREE…
=> http://www.tecommandpost.com
You can save yourself years of trial and error and cash in on their experience by securing your copy of TE Command Post and put yourself in complete push button simple control.
It’s so easy to use (though I admit to it being an initial pain to set up, but well worthwhile investing a couple of hours in!) and in a nutshell this is what you get for free…
* Up to the minute account information for every listed exchange almost instantly.
* How many credits you have waiting to be assigned
* How many credits you have already assigned
* Which url’s are running low on credits
* High converting Affiliate Tools designed to build your downlines fast and bring you passive recurring affiliate commissions for TE Command Post and many other traffic-related sites
* TWO downline builders to get you passive referrals.
* Your links appear in Paul’s emails so you get to lay back and let an email master make you commissions!
That last benefit alone has GOT to be worth your money – except you get it all completely free.
Go Commando Now!
=> http://www.tecommandpost.com
So my fellow clicking commandos, are you going to miss out?
If you’re struggling to make a success of traffic exchanges you really need to understand – we’ve all been through it and you’re not alone!
When they first started:
* Paul Kinder struggled, now he’s gone commando!
* Scott Martin struggled, now he’s gone commando!
* Jon Olson struggled, now he’s gone commando!
* Soren Jordansen struggled, now he’s gone commando!
* Tim Linden struggled, now he’s gone commando!
* Mike Paetzold struggled, now he’s gone commando!
* Even Tony Tezak struggled, now he’s gone commando!
The listed is endless and guess what…
I’ve gone commando too!
Yeah - I’ve joined that list myself, because I’ve always struggled to stay on top of my TE’s & assigning my credits
Come and join me…
=> http://www.tecommandpost.com/
Take Command Today!
.
BY THE WAY – There is an absolutely HUGE list of extra features for upgraded members too. This is one of the best value upgrades I think I have ever seen.
You will always be able to get in free – no false scare tactics here – that’s not how Paul operates BUT…
There is a VERY special launch promotion where you can lock in up to 88% discount on the top level Platinum upgrade – secured for life!
You will NOT be able to access the special Platinum upgrade inside the members area and…
The special launch discount is expected to sell out quickly and will only be available for a few short days!
So join free or grab yourself a real bargain,
Either way you won’t regret it!
Ready, Aim, Fire!

* JT’s Latest – Only $10 !
If You’ve Tried Article Marketing And Failed Read This
Auto Article Profits is a short report written by John Thornhill that shows you how you can become a success with article marketing.
The product claims it can show you how you can earn anything between $10 and $500 per month from a single article. I must say I was quite skeptical at these bold claims so decided to investigate further. As the report only cost $10 and had a 60 day refund policy I knew I wasn’t taking a big risk.
The report itself is only a few thousand words long but let me assure you it was full of golden nuggets, no fluff here and the fact it only took me 20 minutes or so to read it was not a problem as the information is straight to the point.
As with most stuff written by John the content is solid and your head will be spinning with the ideas the report generates. Let me tell you most of what you think you know about article marketing will be dispelled once you read this report.
What I also love about Auto Article Profits is the fact it covers a technique that involves no capital outlay. You could read this report and be putting the information it contains to good use within a matter of hours at no cost. How many products can claim that.
Is the information contained in Auto Article Profits life changing? …. perhaps not but for a $10 investment you really can’t go wrong. I have seen courses that charge 50 times more than the cost of this report contain less information.
Auto Article Profits receives a high recommendation and I urge you to check it out.
