* Catch Up
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)

* Warning – Guru’s Are Like Governments!
A little different format in this post, No Catch Up today as I’m just going off on a ‘Ramble’
First a disclaimer:
The views and opinions expressed in this post are just those of myself, Randy Smith, they are not based on any factual research and I don’t have any proven statistics to share. I’m not a lawyer, politician or super rich marketer! I am just expressing an opinion that could be extremely flawed and I invite anyone to comment and disagree if they should wish to.
Also – I am not intending to make (nor will I allow) any comments that lead to anyone being singled out for any slanderous remarks of hate campaigns…
There – now that’s out of the way let me tell you what I was thinking this morning as I started to write this post.
(and do bear in mind that I’m writing this off the cuff – so I may ramble off on a few tangents, as I do have a habit of doing that )
So why do I think Guru’s are like Governments?
Well let’s start with what I believe is a common trait among governments:
And I am generalising here….
I think we all think at some time or other that the givernment seems to be filled with politicians who are only interested in self preservation don’t we?
You see I love the American quote of “A Government of the people, For the people, By the people”. That sounds so cool and I think it’s what we’d all like to have.
What we believe we actually get in our varying ‘democratic’ systems though – would seem more like a bunch of people who care more about keeping their ‘money people’ happy…. the backers and fund raisers who smooth their way to office.
And once in office – it would also seem to me that regardless of which side they are ‘supposed’ to be on, a lot of the people we put into power spend a lot of their time ‘looking after each other’!
How many times have we in the UK seen politicians who are in opposition to the goverment of the day end up with titles, well paid speakinmg engagements, fancy highly paid jobs in Europe, etc. etc.
And how many times have we ever seen a government sit together, regardless of political views, and actually debate the fact that they claim to want to serve their country and that is their reason for doing their job….
Something along the lines of – “Hey – I want to serve my country more than anything, and I’ve just realized that I don’t need a second mortgage paid for from tax payers money, or the huge salary I get, or the first class airline tickets I can claim to save me taking a train at a quarter the cost to attend a meeting…. therefore I vote that we all take a pay cut to leave more cash for Pensioners, Hospitals, Our Armed forces who are dying daily to protect our freedoms (*and lets not even debate whether our brave forces are fighting to maintain our freedom or to gain rebuilding contracts in oil rich countries some would like more control over!)….
So lets. all agree to pay ourselves what the ‘Average’ man or woman would earn”
After all – who decides what is the most important job in the country?
The doctor who saves lives with his skills?, The Soldier who puts his life on the line for us all?, The Firefighters who risk their safety to rescue others?…. well how about the refuse collector without whom we’d have disease rising due to poor sanitation as rubbish builds up on our streets and vermin start infesting our homes?… How about the salesman who brings in orders to keep a factory full or workers employed manufacturing products he’s sold?…. Or what about the Teachers who nurture our youth so they too many become valued members of society contributing their tax dollars for the benefit off all?
My point being that each and every job that anyone does is equally important to society as a whole… well in my opinion it is!
So if our politicians really wanted to help – would they not universally decide to pay themselves enough to get by on with a little extra for luxuries, to take the cheapest forms of transport to meetings, to rent a small house near government buildings if they really needed to be close by and their constituencies were too far away to travel (instead of using taxpayers money to fund a mortgage that they could then profit from when voted out of office) ???
Heck – even at lower levels of public service, How many ‘Public Servants’ get an allowance for lunch and end up bringing a packed lunch so they have more in their wage packets, and how many send the extra cash back due to the savings they make by prepared their packed lunches?…lol
In fact – let’s get really political for just a moment:
How many people who would do all of the above would ever stand a chance of being voted into power?
I think it’s safe to say that they wouldn’t get sufficient funding to even be noticed come election time….
Can you imagine the scenario?
Here we are reporting live from the elections for our countries new leader:
Standing today is the candidate for the right, backed by his/her huge political party and a budget of $500,000 for media coverage and advertising coming from the business owners and shareholders of the city…
Opposing him today we also have the candidate from the left, backed by his/her huge political party and a budget of $500,000 for media coverage and advertising coming from the trade unions and workers of the city…
And finally we have Mrs. I. M. Nobody, backed by the ladies of the village ‘people power committee’ and a budget of $257.24 for media coverage and advertising, raised from local garage sales of brickabrack and home made apple pies with a few posters drawn by the children of the village school!
Now let me think – Oh, lets all vote for Mrs Nobody ‘cos we saw the poster and immense press coverage she got from saying she just wants to help….. But wait… Darn it she needs to stand in every constituency to actually get sufficient votes to gain power… oh well – maybe next year she can get a few friends standing and form a political party….lol
OK – Enough on the Governments, I’ll move on to the Guru’s with these final words about our beloved politicains:
1 – I once saw some graffitti in a public toilet that has stayed with me all my life….
“No Matter Who You Vote For – The Government Always Win!’
2 - Regardless of everything I’ve said, I’d still rather live in a democratic country with all it’s flaws, greedy politicians, and rogues… than to even comtemplate living under the circumstances so many in the world have to endure!
So yes – I believe our system in severly flawed… but it’s still so much better than many alternatives and I’m grateful for that!
So how are the Guru’s like Governments?
Well I suppose I better explain where the idea of this post came from, and how my strange rambling mind came up with the idea of writing it….
It’s based on something I’ve thought for a long time due to my own position in marketing online.
I’ve been online for around ten years now, failed miserably for the first five chasing all the get rich quick schemes, and then finally learned from my failures and was lucky enough to find a mentor or two who taught me a great deal…. and from then on I’ve done OK.
I started doing well in 2005, and after my offline business failure caused my banruptcy in late 2006 I got the kick in the pants I needed to make all of my living online.
I’ve met and made friends with a lot of marketers, and one criticism they’ve always offered – is that I care too much and sell myself too cheap. But once they get to know me they accept that I have different motivations to most.
I know a lot are money motivated, and that’s fine by me – each to their own.
For me, I love the internet for the freedom it gives me. I’ve had a career in sales and sales management where I had the 6 figure salary - but I also had the hours and constraints that went with it… So I already know that it’s not the money that brings happiness for me… it’s the freedom of time to enjoy the passions of my life that do it for me
That said – I will never criticise anyone who is in it for the money! – They work a lot harder than I do …lol
(and naturally a certain amount of money is need to enjoy the time freedom I crave!)
But what I think I can moan and rant about is when the money becomes the most important thing to them!
Again – don’t get me wrong … if they make it perfectly clear that that’s their only interest from the off – then that’s fine…
But here’s where I think many are like governments:
A great example popped up today on facebook, and that got me thinking about one of my mentors blog posts from a few days ago, which then lead me on to thinking about how some of them operate their business models….
I did say my mind wanders off on some tangents didn’t I? …lol
Tell you what – let me quote (ish) without naming names, ‘cos as I said, each to their own and far be it for me to dictate how anyone should run their lives or business….
But I can have my opinions, and if sharing them helps someone else to find a good mentor, or at least decide what sort of mentor they’d like, then I feel justified in expressing my views (so there…hehe)
Here’s what I saw on facebook:
A Big Name Marketer (GURU) Asked if anyone knew of a high converting, money making offer he could promote, as he didn’t want to waste any valuable clicks on stuff that doesn’t sell so well!
What followed was around 40 replies by other Gurus/Big Names with big lists all quoting which offers were making the most money!
One even suggested an offer I’ve promoted myself in the past – which happens to be a freebie with a one time offer on the back end. This is a great program because even just taking the freebie is very helpful to a lot of newbies… However – it was rejected NOT because the quality of it wasn’t a great help – but because it didn’t make enough money!!
My personal reply was long the lines of:
“Well I guess this confirms I’ve always done things wrong….lol
There’s me looking at products and launches that I believe will benefit my subscribers, with no regard to how much I’ll make…..
So the lesson for wannabe gurus is to look at the bottom line!
Personally – I stick to my way cos I’m too lazy to look at all the figures…lol”
Again – let me emphasize that I’m not here to tell anyone who makes more than me, works harder than I do, and has a different business model than I do, how they should run their business…..
BUT - (and here’s another tangent)
It all reminded me of one of my own mentors whom I hold in very high regard, John Thornhill.
You see John is in business to make money, and he is considered by many to be a top UK marketer/Guru (though he hates the title himself)
He also runs one of the best coaching programs I’ve seen, where a heck of a lot of his students end up finally acheiving the success they were searching for, and he has a $4.95 trial available for that… You can check it out here and see the bonsues I’m offering anyone who joins here … because I know John, have been helped by him, and I know a lot of his successful students – hence my massive bonus as a bribe to stay on the course after the trial…. either way – it’;s nice to take a trial before committing these days (In fact – here is a free report from John you can take right now, called Why You’ll Never Succeed Online No Optin Required!)
So back to John and his business model:
Like I mentioned – John doesn’t hide the fact that he is online to make money… heck he came from a background of doing a mundane, labor intensive, repetitive job in a car factory, to online guru status …. But…
What John does when he’s promoting isn’t to see what is converting best and giving the best dollars per click!
He looks for products that he believes will help his subscribers first…
Then – When he does promote, it’s rare to see him send a straight forward email just pitching the product… NO – He actually tries to show examples of different marketing elements incorporated into the product or salespage, and uses those to highlight a lesson that can be taken from just looking at the promotion!
Which on reflection is very clever (and shows why he deserves his guru title) – because even those who don’t buy are benefiting from John showcasing the product! (and clever – because it means a lot more people will take a look – so his sales end up being on the higher conversion side of things...lol)
To me – that represents the politician who does wnat to help his country…. Whereas the ones who just care about how much they’ll make represent those who are purely in it for themselves!
Worth noting also is the fact that John is happy to promote products that don’t carry a high ticket price and heaps of commissions JUST BECAUSE he believes they will be of benefit to his list…. And I can vouch for that personally , as John has promoted some of my products like MagicAuctionWords, Headpaint – both only $10 and hardly worth him mentioning, and SalesLetterABC, my 10 Step Guide To Writing Sales Letters – which is too cheap, but hey, I set the price…lol, And Even WizardResponder which pays him a lot less than Aweber does… but again he promoted it because not everyone can afford the likes of Aweber, and John knows me personally and therefore knows WizardResponder to be a great service at an affodable rate!
(excuse the self promotion, but it did seem an apt time to make mention of some of my products…lol)
To demonstrate an example of another guru who is in it for the money, BUT – once again has his subscribers interest at heart too – is that of Lee McIntyre.
Lee doesn’t promote mush of anyones products but does have a lot of his own to shout about… But once again, rather than just pitch it like crazy and sell sell sell, he gains his customers by giving away immesly valuable content for free and encourage his affiliates to do the same, thereby winning the trust of subscribers and turnng them into customers of his paid for products…
A prime exaple is his latest free offer – A video training of How to make $7,230.95 in 30 days from scratch?, which he did …even though he had NO list, NO contacts and NO technical skills when he started in the IM niche!
I could go on and mention others who have my respect, people like Tony Shepherd, who also tends to teach people to enjoy life and only grab what they need rather than pitching every big earner going. And who also gives some great freebies first to gain trust and respect. Like his Quit Your Job In Ninety Days and his Perpetual Motion Marketing System.
I love Tony ‘cos we share the belief that life is for living with passion first and foremost!
Hey – I’ve got to stop with naming people I like and why or this post will never end…lol
Plus it started because I wanted to have a rant about those who only promote for the money with complete disregard to whether the product is of any use to their subscribers….
My Gripe with their model is mainly this:
They sound just like politicians… who tell us how we should be doing things, but then do everything themselves for completely different reasons!
Things like – they teach that we should all be helping people, giving good quality info and promoting products that will genuinely help our readers etc.
Then they get together and discuss how to maximize their profits by ignoring great products that don’t make as much cash, and promoting others that do (which incidentally, I’ve seen reviews of expressing opinions that they just aren’t worth the money!)
That tends to remind me of something my Dad would always say when he was caught out doing wrong…. “Son, do as I say not as I do!”
There are a lot of great people out there who are making a living online and (in my opinion) have some great business models that you could replicate… like the examples above – they each do things differently, but always do them with their subscribers interests first. So if you want to be a guru and make the big bucks, can I be cheeky and suggest you learn from these?
Or even check out some of the ‘friends’ links on my sidebar for others who share similar views?
Now I wont condemn you if you choose to follow the money and become like the gurus who only care about what percentage they’ll make, as I’ve said – it’s their business and they make a heck of a lot more than I do, and work a heck of a lot harder too. And business is business at the end of the day….
But do we really have to join them in order to beat them?, Is the only way to make it big to become one of them and get their backing?, To tow the party line etc.
Between you and I – I’m always gonna think of them as being just like the government….
Telling us what’s best for us – whilst always watching their own backs and ensuring themselves and their buddies never suffer the fate of the rest of the nation!
So what do you think?
Are the majority of Guru’s just like the Government? – or am I just getting very synical with too many old fashioned values to survive in todays business world?
I’ll leave you to decide that for yourself!
Thanks for listening to my rant, and I hope I’ve caused you to look at all those emails you get with new eyes and ask yourself - “Are these guru’s really helping me?”
Just like the politicians, I guess our only option is to choose to follow those whose actions seem to us to best fit what we believe they should be doing!
For myself, I’ll continue promoting products I believe will help people regardless of profit, and naturally I’ll hope my readers trust my own judgments and buy enough for me to continue enjoying the lifestyle I do, but I’m not sending in any applications to sell my conscience for more dollars, and I hope the interaction I get from my readers and friends keeps me on the same path. Just like those whom I’ve mentioned – I’d rather stay on the path of being a respected marketer and prefer not to aim for the guru title!
And hey – if you’re a guru who wants to defend your actions – two things…..
1 - You don’t need to , I understand it’s just business in todays world
2 - Feel free to add your comment, as I do believe you have a right to free speech and your own opinions providing niether of us intentionally sets out to harm anyone
And to my friends who I haven’t mentioned – sorry… Hopefully you’re in my sidebar list of friends, but hey – leave a link in your comment
OK – I’m done (for now)

A Funny Religious Item I SHOULDN’T Post ??

* Catch Up
Well this is a totally non marketing related post. So by all means click away now if you wish
(Or better still pop down to my last post and check some of the items mentioned in that )
Quite simply it came about from an email I received that I thought was both funny – AND – educational…
Funny in that I laughed at the ridiculous extremes I BELIEVE some people go to in their beliefs,
And Educational in the hope that by seeing how extreme one of the worlds largest religions ‘COULD’ be if the majority of people took everything so seriously to heart….
In the hope that we might all prefer to focus on the SIMILARITIES we human beings have in our beliefs!
I genuinely believe that those tarnished with the views of the extremists in every religion, probably would prefer for us all to focus on the good that each religion believes in preaching and following….
And if we all did – there would be a lot less crap going on around the world!
OK – I’m no theologian or political peacebroker… but it’s my blog so I can post what I want
You don’t have to agree with anything I think or write. And yet, I’d be happy to communicate with you and agree to disagree, whilst continuing to live in peace with you being entitled to have your opinion and me mine.
Anyways – I sent this to my lists on Friday and asked for feedback as to whether it was too controversial to post?
The results have been that a staggering 90% of the replies I received said to go ahead and post it!
Many laughed, some thought it was indeed educational, others just said they appreciated the fact that by going off on such a tangent it showed I was a human first and not just another online marketer.
Some warned that I would have a lot of unsubscribes from my list from those who hold extremist or purist views! (in fact I didn’t have anymore unsubscribes than normal – which did actually surprise me!)
I also had initially pasted the whole email I received including a credit to someone who supposedly wrote the body of it. Which was highlighted to me by Pippa, and also Jane of (http://gotamoment.info – some funny emails on her blog ) that the credit was actually incorrect, hence I’ve left that off.
So below you’ll find the post, make of it what you will, and do feel free to comment. I will approve all comments provided that they do not incite hatred to anyone’s beliefs. (again – because it’s my blog – hence my opinion that “everyone should be entitled to their beliefs provided that they hurt no one in any way” are what count on here – plus My hosts rules also ban certain types of comment and posts…lol)
Let me know your thoughts
(and don’t forget to get back to marketing by reading the previous post here)

* A Funny Religious Item I Shouldn’t Post!
I know, I know – we must never talk religion!
But hey – I was sent this and I loved the sentiment!
Some people really do seem to take things seriously,
But at least we know Christians are generally good people and most (I believe) would smile at some of these Bible quotes
(And personally, I feel most would also realize that times have changed from when the Bible was written….Or do You still believe in slavery??)
See below if you want to OWN a Canadian
I have checked ALL the Biblical quotes to ensure I can’t be sued!
—-
In her US radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, for an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to
Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:
====
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination …
End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians.
Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally
obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot.
Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan,
Anonymous?

Another overdue catch up I know…..
Well – I do have a great bunch of excuses lined up
Excuse 1 – Weather
We’ve had some gorgeous days here in the UK and I’ve been taking advantage of them!
Excuse 2 – Daughters Wedding Looming
I also had to take a couple of days out to get fitted for my ‘Father of the Bride’ suit as one of my daughters is getting Married on the 12th May
Excuse 3 – Grandsons Operation
I took yet another day out to take another daughter and one of my grandson for an operation he needed, and naturally I waited all day and brought them home again. (It went well btw… brave little soul nearly 4 and already has a scar to show off…lol)
Excuse 4 – I’ve been Lazy annnndddd Busy Testing & Updating
OK – I know number 4 doesn’t cut it…..But I have been a little lazy in NOT hammering home all the latest promos!
OR – can I say it was just me being conscience minded??
I should have promoted Marketing With Alex more – But I figured I’d mentioned it, and there were plenty of others raving about it!
That’s closed now, but you can still get on a notification list if anyone cancels.
I was surprised that John and Daves ‘How To Get Started Online‘ didn’t have more interest than it got? – So I do feel bad for not bigging that up a little more, as all their products are real value… This is still at the early bird price if you missed it
One I didn’t bother with at all was the butterfly source code.
I’m sure plenty of people grabbed that as it seems so valuable!
However – my concern was that I’d be asked why I recommended something that needs so much techy input – when I’m such a non-techy!
Plus I wasn’t sure the $197 upsell to a developers forum would be a good buy for those who needed help with it.
On a positive note – I’m sure we’ll soon see all sorts of versions and adaptations from those more capable, and probably at a price that is way less that what BM used to cost. Maybe someone might even add clear instructions and will have added some useful extras?
Another I haven’t bothered with was CBPredator, again there are plenty of people offering huge bonuses for the $67 sale price. I suspect many will be hoping for the upsells and continuity aspects of which I’m told there are plenty as usual on this type of launch. But with some seriously negative reviews on the warrior forum AND not having purchased it myself to give a genuine opinion, I’m loathe to recommend it just for the commissions!
So that’s the laziness covered
In terms of updating - I’m adding heaps of new products to the download areas of MoreMonthly, so I’ll be finishing that tomorrow I think, and get members notified in the next couple of days… I think there will be the usual over-delivery of products, as I’ve bought so much this month… at least 30 if not more!
(Have you taken the $1 trial yet? – this would be a good month to take a look around http://www.moremonthlyplus.info/ )
[EDIT] MoreMonthly has now been updated
As for the testing:
I’ve been helping Pete test a few sites that we will be launching very soon!
Quite exciting really as we have got hold of some great content that I’m pretty sure will be very popular and really helpful to a lot of people like you, me and my other readers!
Whether to learn from or to add more quality products to your promotions that all start with a great quality freebie…
OH – and if You have a WizardResponderPro account – Have you seen the NEW EASICODE Pete has added?… WOW! – talk about making things easier
But hey – more on that in a week or so
I’ve also been looking over a new product by Tony Shepherd that he’ll be releasing soon – and it is so straight forward, I know I’ll be recommending it!
It shows a very straight forward way to get a list and make money within 60 days….
More on that soon – But if you can’t wait, get yourself on Tony’s list by grabbing these freebies:
http://randysmith.co.uk/FreeFrom/TonyShepherd
I’ve also been using and testing SEO LinkVine which will launch on the 27th… and it’s looking VERY good in terms of it doing what it says it will!
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/SEOLinkVine
More on that in a moment…
But first I wanted to repeat a link to the Bristol LFMpire Workshop
http://randysmith.co.uk/IsGoingTo/BristolWorkshop
(Or Britpack as a few of us still call it)
I know a good few have already grabbed their tickets and I look forward to meeting up and sharing a vodka or ten
There’s not long left now to get a ticket, and hotel rooms are being filled fast, so please don’t leave it any longer if you’re planning on expanding your contacts list and networking with the bigboys…. never mind the quality of speakers this year!
Do let me know if you’re coming, I might even get my wallet out if your drink is less than $10 …hehe
(Well I am a Yorkshireman!)
http://randysmith.co.uk/IsGoingTo/BristolWorkshop
Anyway – that’s enough of a catch up – lets get to Brads Freebies!
=====
* Free SEO Videos & My Early Review of SEOLinkVine!
Here’s a freebie I have no worries linking to!
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/SEOLinkVine
One of the top SEO experts online, Brad Callen (you’ve most likely heard of this guy or own some of his products already), has been secretly building a one-way link building network. One that’s helped him get a #1 Google ranking for an extremely competitive keyword, over 29,000 backlinks, and roughly 6,500 daily visitors to his website…all in only 3 months time (proof below)!
Well, today Brad is giving you FREE access to a series of search engine optimization videos that show you the main strategy that he’s been using to get such fast search engine results for his websites.
Once you visit the site, make sure you also read the short blog post below the video, where he tells you how you can get access to this new link building system BEFORE anyone else.
Here’s the link:
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/SEOLinkVine
Then be sure to go through the 3-part SEO video series. They’ll lay the foundation for you in terms of what Google is really looking for when ranking websites Long-Term.
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/SEOLinkVine
Go there now and Enjoy the videos!
—
OK – I admit it, most of that was copy & paste
BUT, I don’t have a problem with it because Brad has built a reputation of giving real value and quality in his freebies!
So much so that even people who don’t buy his products, always seem to learn a lot and improve their business just from the content in the freebies!
However….
On this occasion I would like to add that I’ve had early access to the site, and I’ve been testing it as a non-techy.
I haven’t even let Pete help me or guide me on this one!
(Are you suitably impressed?…lol)
Seriously, I have watched Brads videos inside the site and I found them to be totally newbie and non-techy friendly.
There were VERY simple to follow along and showed in simple and easy details exactly what I needed to do to set up my accounts on both sides of the system.
So I did it!
So far I have added a site to receive fr’ee content on, and I’ve added a couple of articles to get me backlinks in the search engines.
Both were done easily by following the short video instructions. And just in this past week, I have added and rejected articles to the site where I want content.
AND I’ve used the included spinner to easily spin my 2 articles so that there are so many ‘readable’ variations that they have already been accepted and published by 17 different sites!
So far I have to say I’m very impressed, Then again I always seem to be with Brads Products…
I genuinely think the only reason not to get go back to the site and take up his launch off’er on the 27th, after looking at the freebies now – would be a severe lack of funds!
Quite honestly – the site does what it says it will, and it is very very easy to use. Brad also mentioned in an email to me, that knowing how scared of techy stuff I was – I could simply let my outsourcers use it for me – But it really is too easy to pass on..lol
So for now I highly recommend taking a look at his freebie videos, and then do watch for an update from me in the week as I do more with it myself to add a more detailed review and use it more.
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/SEOLinkVine
I hope you get a heap of good info from them!

Where to start this week?
Well for a couple of days I was laid up with a nasty tummy bug!
(I won’t go into the details it was horrid!)
OK, that was just couple of days, I did manage to get some work done to…lol
On a more positive note, we’ve had some lovely sunshine, so naturally I’ve been enjoying some beautiful walks feeling the sun on my face.
I’m so glad spring is finally here, or close enough!
As for marketing, I wonder how many would tempted by the latest greatest $2000 product??
Here’s what I wrote in reply to someone mentioning it on my forum at MoreMonthly.com
“What I’ve always found amusing seems obvious to me – but I guess it can’t be to others??????????
Here we have a guy selling a $2k product on how to get the most from your list.
Now bear with me…
He has recently had a massive product called Mass Control.
With Mass Control he had a gazillion affiliates promote it and made millions…..
So presumably he built quite a substantial list from that?????
In which case….. And this is the big question I always come back to
(and not just for Mr. Kern, cos I do think he’s a cool dude)
WHY….Why would he then need another gazillion affiliates to build him another huge list to sell his next product to???
Surely he could Mass Control them all to Buy List Control without having to pay out a bean in affiliate commissions, and wouldn’t that too prove the product was great?
LOL
Is it just be that thinks these things?…. hehe”
I have to be honest and admit I did not purchase the product and for all I know it could be the best thing since sliced bread. I’m sure it will be a quality product, but then one would hope so with that ticket price.
Right, Let’s get back to things I can comment on
=====
* Useful FireFox Add Ons
A little cheating here, I’ve stolen some of this content about the useful Firefox add-ons from a post in the moremonthly forum.
To give credit where it’s due – the thread was started by Morten of NicheBoxes (A site he’s just launched that he’s spent a lot of time making sure provides excellent value to it’s members – so do give him a click)
I’m sure he wont mind me sharing his and some of my most useful addons
So if you use FireFox – do search for some of these and see which might be useful to you
==
ColorZilla
- This has eyedropper colorpicker, but there’s more to this little gem. For instance you can get it to analyze the colors used in the regular (html) parts of a given homepage. Plus it’s got a fantastic zoom tool.
FoxyProxy Standard
- If you’re ever using proxy-servers for anything, like checking out landing pages for US-only promotions, (or accessing sites where your own IP has been banned ), this one is a must. It’s got tons of setup possibilities, even allowing you to use different proxies for different sites.
LastPass
- Is a centralized, web-based password repository, and the add-on is more or less a must-have if you use the service (it’s free!)
MeasureIt
- A very simple, yet amazing add-on – when activated it simply lets you mark up an area on a web-page, giving you the exact dimensions in pixels of this area.
RankChecker
- really great add-on for anyone doing SEO work. It lets you set up a list of sites with corresponding keywords, and then goes out and checks the search engine position for each.
S3 Firefox Organizer (S3Fox)
- FTP-like add-on for uploading to Amazon S3, and working with the files you’ve got in there. There are a few different S3 add-ons, and this one feels the best for Morten.
SEOBook SEO Toolbar
- another SEO tool, this one directed at examining the current page. Gives rankings in the sarch engines, alexa rank, competition data, IP, whois… you name it – very comprehensive.
Alexa Sparky
- One I do love myself, as it shows the alexa page rank of each page your on in the bottom corner of your screen above your staus bar. Great for knowing if you’re on a high traffic site.
Web Developer
- great toolbar menu when you’re working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc. Far too many features for me to use them all, but chances are, if you need some information about a page you’re creating, you’ll be able to find it in here
SpellBlound
- Spell Checks as you write so you don’t look silly with any misspellings in your blog posts etc.
Pixlr Grabber
- Allows you to grab images and edit them, Very Useful and best checked out for yourself to see what I mean.
CaptureFox
- which films your screen etc. so you can do a tour or make a how to file. (I think you still need something to change the video from an avi file into something smaller for the web, and in the one I tried I cheated and used camtasia to render it… so a useful tool there would come in handy….. any ideas??)
See below for my ‘test video’
I hope you find some that help
=====
* A Warning for WP Bloggers & A Tour (2 Video Links)
Two video links to check now:
The first is actually a test I did of the CaptureFox addon – to see if it really was easy to use…lol
So I did a quick tour of the new layout for WizardResponder.
Here’s the link to the video so you can see how CaptureFox worked:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWSOVid5t3k
Pete actually ignored the video and made a much better one which can be seen by visiting the main
page at WizardResponderPro.com
(well he is the techy one! – But I still think mine was better than nothing!!…hehe)
What did you think? (unscripted and on the fly, I thought mine was OK – do leave a comment!)
—-
The second video was sent to me by a friend, Andy Lawrence.
It’s a warning for anyone on the WP blog platform. (It also shows how to set one up in less than 10mins)
Make sure you have your settings correct so you get traffic and don’t ban google!!
Watch this to learn more:
http://www.nichemarketernews.com/Wpress_Privacy_Issue/
(or to see how to install a blog)
Hope that helps too
Moving on….
=====
* MM News – And My New Free Videos
I did manage to get out of bed to at least finish updating MoreMonthly.com with next months downloads – 31 in total!
So just over double the promised number (and there have been some great posts in the private forum this month too!)
BUT NOW -
Now I’m excited,
I can finally reveal a new way of promoting the site that I’m hoping you and my other readers will love!
Heck – you don’t even have to be a member to make yourself some cool extra incomes from this
I partnered up with another techy (Terry, who always comes to the Northallerton Meet Ups) and he has helped put all this together…
I’ve wanted to get this done for months!
Instead of promoting a paid product, You can promote a freebie that I feel is a great benefit.
It’s a FREE six -part video course that you can see (and optin to get) here:
http://www.easycreationmonthly.info/
(Yes I know there are still a few tweaks to sort…lol)
It’s called
Easy Product Creation
And it will show a variety of ways to get YOUR product created without you having to create it yourself!
What’s more, and this is the part you’ll really like, If you check the partner page after you’ve opted in…
You’ll see you can promote it and then earn a commission from all the work I do to try and get people involved in MoreMonthlyPlus
AS WELL AS
As well as a bunch of little extra along the way!
Basically, any product sold from that Autoresponder series will be cookied with YOUR affiliate link to pay you – WHENEVER the sale comes in!
So please – do me a favour, Grab the freebie, and take a look at the process.
(Naturally – don’t buy if you’re already a moremonthly member)
BUT DO register as a partner and send people along to grab the freebie, so I can work on making you some ca$h
(as well as myself)
Thanks
Here’s the link again
http://www.easycreationmonthly.info/
Lesson wise – take a good close look at the process!
It’s done using Tony Shepherds PMMS which you can still get for free from:
http://www.randolfsmith.com/recommends/pmms
Right – best get signed off and posted
And please do register at (you can always chose not to partner with me)
