Sometime after the buzz caused by “The Death Of Internet Marketing” report, Michael Cheney of AdSense Videos fame responded with a brilliant follow-up about his big-break story. You can download The Internet Marketing Country Club Report.

There’s one statement I want to highlight on pg. 35: “Internet Marketing is about bringing people together.”

Read that statement again.

If anyone thinks doing a business is as dumb as being an armchair entrepreneur and blasting e-mails from the digital cave that is your bedroom, perhaps s/he is already the no. 1 customer to the headline, “Put me on an island with a laptop and I show you how to make $1,000 in 30 days!

Truth be told, I have a PDF file with that kind of headline. I almost got sold.

Today if you ask me, I can’t remember what’s the content of that file now.

Today 3 years on(line), we still interact with subscribers in e-mail conversations, rendering support and advice. Is communication dead? Far from it and just the opposite. It increases and we must move to Skype and blogging and maybe a ‘live’ training workshop is not far from the horizon :)

Speaking of Skype, you can find my details here.

MyBlogLog is the BEST system yet for cultivating an amazingly active and vibrant community of bloggers and for filtering targeted traffic of interested readers. Click here to join!

According to the bestseller “The Long Tail” by Chris Anderson, the days of one-way monologues from seller to buyer is over. Communication must move beyond that level and how it should be is anyone’s guess. I have many articles advising in this area so check this directory.

One powerful mode of communication is Masterminding. Napoleon Hill was able to define the kind of principles, both logical and emotional, that individuals must bring into a masterminding session for maximum productivity and effect. In his words, “Masterminding is the coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”

Masterminding is a specific manner of communicating to achieve a purpose and fulfill agendas. It has a set of protocols to follow so that time is not wasted on idle chatter.

I am forever grateful that 5 years ago, I had the great opportunity to learn and witness how group masterminding work its magic among all participants involved. The occasion so impressed on me that I’d wish I never left that hotel room because 10 new companies could have started overnight! Today, I still practice Masterminding with that particular community of go-getters, including Joel Chue and Stephon Seah, who launch the Mastermind Income Generator. This Mastermind system is simply the most in-depth series of materials ever created and dedicated to Business Masterminding in the 21st century.

Mastermind Income Generator

You will discover:

1) How to make it ‘BIG’ with existing resources.
2) Your own unique thinking process and use it to your best possible advantage.
3) How to handle ‘ideas air raids’ and turn them into chunks of executable plans.

Just listening to Nelson’s personal mentor K.C. See, who taught ‘live’ masterminding for 9 years, is worth the investment. Of course, how can MIG be complete without Nelson’s interview too! The latter record is an exclusive bonus of Mastermind Income Generator, so don’t you miss that!

You can get the main collection for the current launch price. Don’t be late and don’t hesitate. Sharpen your saw and grow your own alliance masterminding community!

What A Weekly Newsletter Can Do For You.

Posted January 27th, 2007. Filed under Content Publishing

Running you own free newsletter or e-zine can bring massive benefits to your website and profits. Did you know that newsletters are one of the most important components for you to drive traffic to your website and build your online business?

The popularity of newsletters is based on the thirst for information by information-hungry Internet surfers. The main reason people are online is because they want and need information and that is exactly what newsletters provide.

There are 3 major advantages of starting your own newsletter, no matter what product or service that you are offering. They are:

- Being able to maintain regular contact
- Being able to build a relationship with your subscribers
- Being able to offer new products and services

A newsletter allows you to keep the connection with your site visitors reminding them of how your product is suited for them.

The other, often overlooked, advantage of having a newsletter, is the income it can generate, not from selling your products and services or links to affiliate programs, but from selling advertising space in it.

You do need a medium to large subscriber base before other businesses will be interested in advertising, but this is not that hard to achieve, especially if it is regularly full of quality content. You can earn a few hundred, even thousands of dollars, every month just from ads if you play your cards rights.

Your online customers will eventually become your offline customers if they trust the information you regularly send them. Put simply, a newsletter is your way of helping people. If you help people online, eventually they will buy from you.

However, running your own newsletter involves a considerable amount of work. It is vital that you regularly write a lot of quality content before your next release. Ideally a newsletter should be sent out every week or at least every fortnight. This is not always easy. It definitely takes consistency and a keen eye for content.

You see, just as it is on your website…content is KING in your newsletters.

You need to offer valuable information, products, services, and more to keep your subscribers clicking on every newsletter that you send out.

Where can you get quality content for your newsletter?

1. Article directories like ezinearticles.com or findarticles.com. Also get articles from yahoogroups. The downside to this is that you need to include the author’s signature or resource box.

2. Forums. One of the most dynamic and updated places on the Internet is where people write off the cuff and in real-time. Thread after thread, reply after reply of the latest information comes off the minds of forum participants. Combine interesting topics and reword them into an original article.

3. Your own Inbox right under your nose. Whatever other marketers are writing or selling about, use them to your own advantage and recreate them as your own.

4. Your own insights are really your best resources. When you have passion, you will never stop talking about what you know. Be consistent at no. 4 and soon enough you will find a way to mold yourself into an expert. Continue to expand your knowledge database and add value to it.

In conclusion, running your own newsletter can have a very positive impact on your website and online business. If you dedicate yourself to keeping it up, you will find it well worth the effort. We have seen incredible success on the Internet that is most encouraging as we integrate work, play and home into a lifestyle, one that we’re sure you have a desire for too. We wish the same for you.

For the past 2 years, I published “A Moment Of Sharing“. Check out how I designed my layout and its content. Hope you can gleaned some useful clues for your purposes.

Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, Dane Carlson created this little applet using Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.

Hmmm…Internet Mastery Center Blog is worth $34,436.94, not bad. No matter, I can’t decide whether the price on your blog is tongue-in-cheek or for real. After all, the blog is only as worthy as the content, which in turn is as worthy as the wisdom of its blogger. Selling an established blog to the next blogging owner does not necessarily sustain loyalty of readership; readers only go to whoever they wish to follow. The value of that virtual real estate will be affected after the money has changed hands, unless the new owner pretends to be the previous blogger in name, but that’s stoopid. I believe an actual trade would only take place based on domain name trading mechanisms upon the analysis of PR, hit rates, age etc.

Domain name trading is, after all, an established industry with all its rules and politics. Folks like Dr. Mike Woo-Ming and my Money Mastery buddy Shi Heng Cheong are seasoned hands at creating portfolios of expired domain names and “squatting in the jungle” for the right time to let them off for a premium price.

Interestingly, I have long suspected that people who deal in property investment and stock market would be very adapt at domain name trading because the mindset is already well honed for crucial timing…well, some similarities are there, like getting hold of names the moment they expire on that very day.

It used to be a heck of a gold rush registering all the creative word combinations you can discover with a .com placed behind them. I wonder how many domain squatters are now stuck with domain names that other people may want to possess but don’t know where and how to get them. That should be easy with the availability of background details from the WHOIS registrar, and yet the information may not be updated at the turn of expiry date…very tricky. The trading aspect is mostly the trickiest part where negotiation and mutual goodwill is concerned. On the other hand, squatters may hold on to domain names that depreciate in value some years down the road only to finally realize they are absolutely useless. They just don’t know how to evaluate the present and projected monetary value of those names and quickly find a targeted buying audience via an established channel to let them go for a timely profit.

What if I say that there is an e-book that teaches you how to be a savvy domain name investor, and within a matter of days you will know everything about domain trading, domain speculating, domain investing and using domain names to generate a passive income?

Yes, please continue to nod your head :) I know you want to learn more.

Matt Smith, co-author of Domain Profiteer, emphasizes that expired domains are where you want to invest your money, because of the targeted traffic that some of these used domains can attract. And in Internet Marketing, traffic means money, targeted traffic means a lot more money.

Domain Profiteer includes a 1-month access to Domainer’s Edge which otherwise charges a monthly fee of $99.

Domainer’s Edge is a very powerful software for domain investors. It provides a lot of information on a domain at a mouse-click. These information will help you to make good decision to buy and sell your domains. In time, you will have the dexterity to get rid of the useless names in your portfolio and keep the good one to generate a monthly income. Not only that, you just might stumble upon a PR6 site for a bargain offer and reuse or resell it to your own advantage!

However, domain name trading and investment is not for everyone, especially when you need to be on time watching domain auctions in action. With all that’s being said, not many Internet marketers, or people in general, are savvy enough to handle the risk involved in investment and evaluation of domain names, but it still means that there’s immense potential for first-movers. Domain name trading and investment is not the next big thing; it has been one of THE big things all these years, including today. To get educated, find out how Domain Profiteer can help you.

Mark Joyner defines his own wellness niche.

Mark Joyner’s Simpleology 101 is considered by many as the ‘bedrock’ foundation of their success in life.

Many other wildly successful companies are catching on and doing the same…

Simpleology 103 is the long-awaited follow-up to Simpleology 101.

What’s it about?

Well, it teaches you how to boost your energy to levels teenagers would be envious of.

Without drugs.

Without supplements.

Without extreme diets.

Just simple changes to your life that you’ll barely notice.

Let us just say that you need to beat a path to this course in the name of wellness.

Considering that Mark has changed so much from his famous black-and-white self-portrait (if you have seen his Extreme Business Makeover videos), he has moved on to defining his own wellness niche via Simpleology 103. That’s really amazing.

“The principles found in Simpleology are the same that I followed to become a 3-time Olympian.” - Ruben Gonzalez, 3-Time Olympian

“BTW, on a personal note (if you could please share/forward this along to Mark, after completing the Simpleology 102 course I had an immediate 25% increase in salary and now make well over 6-figure salary! WOW! Life is Going GREAT! Thank You Mark and Simpleology!” - Daniel Harris, San Jose, California

How to add social bookmarks for every blog post.

Posted January 22nd, 2007. Filed under Web 2.0

By now you should have observed a series of colourful social bookmarking buttons below each post. They allow your readers to easily submit you to many different social bookmarking and networking sites.

Get your WP-Notable plugin for WordPress and installation instructions.

The one thing that will stump all but the most hardcore of bloggers is what is meant by the “loop area” (installation instruction no. 5). Until now, me neither. All you need to do is:

1) open index.php, archive.php and single.php of your WP template with your HTML editor,
2) search for the word ‘postmetadata’. You should find only one occurrence of this word in each file,
3) copy-and-paste the WP-Notable code just above the statement where ‘postmetadata’ appears,
4) save your 3 PHP files and upload them in your WP template directory.

Refresh your blog and the icons must appear below every post now.

The best instructions we can find for adding social bookmarking buttons in Blogger blogs are right here.

Permalinks Migration Plugin For WordPress

Posted January 22nd, 2007. Filed under Blogging And RSS

Many people want to change their permalink structure, for example, from /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/

But doing so will make all pages indexed by search engines become invalid, thereby losing visitors from other sites or bookmarks that link to you.

With this plugin, you can safely change your permalink structure without breaking the old links to your website, and even doesn’t affect your search engine rankings.
