Free Download: Your Website Checklist

Posted January 9th, 2007. Filed under Website Development

Another appropriate gift to start the new year. Marlon Sander’s assistant Lisa has put together a nifty little website checklist. With more than 20+ sites of under his company’s belt, Marlon sure knows how to keep them up-to-date and error-free, that’s why he feels this is an essential read for all website owners.

Does your website:

* Look like it was designed in the 90′s?
* Contain more than ONE animated image?
* Have a bright colored background?
* Use multiple font colors? (example)
* Have “welcome to…” written on any page?
* Use tiny fonts that were popular in 2004?
* Have opt-in forms that haven’t been tested in the last 30 days?
* Have a copyright notice?
* Have an OUTDATED copyright notice?
* Have outdated contact information?
* Display your email address using basic text?
* Have a flash intro page? (without the SKIP INTRO link)
* Have pop up windows created using Javascript?

If you answered yes to even ONE of those questions, it’s time to consider giving your website, affiliate pre-sell pages, landing pages or sales pages an extreme makeover :) And of course, if your website WAS designed in the 90′s then it’s definitely time for a complete re-design.

Website checklist addresses all these questions and provide the ultimate solution…Download the file now and find out what the solution is!

I personally know Mr. Gregg Hall from The Marketer’s Mind and The Internet Marketing Secrets for quite some time now. You may have heard little of him but he has kept a low profile in all his 10 years of online marketing up to 2004. What happened next applies to anyone who stick to and persevere in one trade. He was invited to speak in a ‘live’ event and the moment he made one comment of less than 60 seconds, he was immediately swamped by dozens of people!

Gregg has come a long way from being a ‘nobody’ to ‘somebody’. If he can do it, YOU can do it! Based on requests from hundreds of people, Gregg is now making himself available for coaching and advice via his one-on-one coaching program.

With over 10 years experience online not only does Gregg have the knowledge to help you but he has also collected an infinite collections of tools and resources that he shares with his students which can drastically shorten your learning curve.

In addition, Gregg has bought and used the vast majority of tools available for building websites and blogs as well as the tools to market them. He can guide you to which ones are of value and which ones are a waste of money. He has even uploaded his choice selections of tools and resources in the members’ area.

And he is now making himself available in all his time to answer your deep questions of what to do to earn goodily online. Get to listen from an expert first-hand, and you would cut down a lot of wastage in time, effort, $$$ and things that don’t work.

Gregg is only 1 person, so he is limiting his coaching program, which officially opens today, to the first 100 students!

Your AdWords/ClickBank Solution

For a long time now, we’ve been looking for the perfect guide on how to make profit from Google AdWords and Clickbank. In theory with Google AdWords, all you need to do is to place one of those “AdWords” ads yourself…then everybody clicks on your ad and buys your product…then you sell consistently based on an assured Return-On-Investment (ROI) on your AdWords performance…then you become a millionaire and take over the world……IF ONLY IT WAS THAT SIMPLE…every AdWords user would be rich today!

Making money from Google AdWords can be a VERY TRICKY thing to do…that’s why most people (over 98% of advertisers) LOSE MONEY using it. The real road to success as an affiliate marketer lies in knowing how to advertise ANY product online…

So we want you take a look at Kenny Thompson’s manual, and just read his offer. We’re sure you will immediately notice that he is the real deal, and he knows what he is teaching…

Kenny’s new manual will take you by the hand right now and will show you step-by-step how you can copy his methods today and make very easy $2,000-$2,500 a week for doing no more than 30 minutes of ‘work each day!!!

Money, as a resultant, lags behind effort.

“If you can count all your money, you don’t have a billion dollars.” – J. Paul Getty

Profits…wealth…money in the bank…however you want to look at it, your income is always a “lagging indicator” to your success.

According to Wikipedia: “A lagging indicator is an economic indicator that reacts slowly to economic changes, and therefore has little predictive value. Generally these types of indicators follow an event; they are historical in nature. For example, in a performance measuring system, profit earned by a business is a lagging indicator as it reflects a historical performance.”

In other words, if all your goals are money-driven, they won’t actually HELP YOU achieve success because the amount of money you make only reflects the things you’ve done in the past. It doesn’t actually tell you what you NEED TO DO to achieve those goals.

So, instead of setting goals based on the amount of money you want to make, set goals based on the specific Action Items that need to be completed and when they need to be completed by.

As long as you hit these targets and meet these goals, the money WILL follow. It’s simple cause-and-effect…

For example, if I say I want to create an online business that makes $10k a month, there are a certain number of steps I need to take:

1. Choose a market and a product that lends itself to monthly continuity (i.e. recurring income).

2. Setup a website to sell the product/membership site.

3. Find a source (or sources) of traffic that will deliver 50,000 unique visitors. (If you convert 1% of your visitors into customers and your membership site costs $20 per month, this should generate the necessary 500 sales to get your business up to $10k per month.)

So those are the steps. Now your “goals” need to be to finish each one of them by a certain deadline. If you hit your deadline and meet your goals, success is virtually guaranteed.

If you DON’T hit your deadlines, you’ll know exactly why you haven’t made the money you want to make.

I realize this seems simple, but I bet very few Internet Marketers look at their own business in such a systematized manner. Instead, each day they just REACT to one thing or another, get nothing done and then wonder why they aren’t successful.

If you follow my advice, and set goals that are ACTION and TIME-oriented you’ll never wonder again.

In fact, you may just achieve the level of success you’ve been wanting for such a long time.

So right now, while all of this is still fresh in your mind, write out a detailed list of all the steps you need to take to achieve your primary goal. Next, attach a date by which you will finish each step, and commit yourself to this endeavor for 2007.

Doing this will focus your efforts and keep you from hopping from one opportunity to the next. It will also limit the amount of spending you do on Internet Marketing junk, because unless a particular product will help you achieve a specific goal…there’s no reason to buy it now, is there? :o)

Once again, I sincerely hope my “gift” helps make 2007 your best year ever!

From Baby To Man.

Posted January 3rd, 2007. Filed under Business

A surefire way to succeed at something new (especially in business) is to use a systematic ramping-up process of “crawl – walk – run”.

CRAWL – Understanding how “one thing” works and how it could work for you.

WALK – Getting that one thing to work and produce results for you through direct measured effort.

RUN – Making the one thing work hands-free, independent of you to put the results on autopilot.

Small successes from crawling inspire and motivate you to move forward to experience success from walking which build further momentum that allows you to experience even greater success from running.

Trying to do too much too fast is like trying to boil the ocean, and more times than not, it sets you up for failure.

So jumpstart 2007 with Crawl – Walk – Run!

Crawling is about “understanding” ONE specific thing out of the many you can do, to grow your business or change your life.

Walking is about gaining “knowledge” in that specific thing so you can actively apply it to your business or life and measure results to see if it works for you.

Running is about having the “wisdom” from crawling and walking and putting what you have tested and proven to work, on autopilot so you can repeat the the “crawl – walk – run” system on something else to grow your business or change your life.

So, crawl – walk – run yourself into amazing success in 2007 and beyond.

Another dose of inspiration from Stephen Pierce.

This time, it's WAR…in 2007.

Posted January 3rd, 2007. Filed under Business

John Reese revealed 5 tips on maximizing your productivity in 2007 on December 27th. Allow me to add in my own input:

#1: Prepare a WAR plan.

John wrote about having a dedicated “War Room” in his house that’s set up just for planning. It is a dedicated space in which to plan out what his next moves will be. One main reason is to resist against a temptation which most of us have: of simply treating activities as they come “day by day” and doing whatever comes to mind, like dealing with non-essential or minor stuff…like checking e-mails. And then when it comes to making decisions on what to do next, these tend to be short-lived because if you start every new work day by having to make a decision about what to work on next you’re seriously missing out on focusing on building longevity of your business, its brand and its identity.

In all our time serving out military obligations in Singapore (which all men here do), I found the word “mobilization” strangely attractive in business context. In exercises, I observed men of every rank moving non-stop here, there, everywhere trying to get things done (whether anything gets done at all is another matter, haha. Usually it does), all in the name of fulfilling the larger goals of what the exercise was all about. I also tend to associate the word with Hollywood war films in which you hear the commanders shout, “Now move!” or “Go go go!” (getting more cliché yeah?)

The beauty is machines and manpower get activated and mobilized for something at a snap.

It is the same with business. Without the definition of the larger goals and directions, you couldn’t have felt more motivated to go go go…go where?

For seasoned marketers, it is bound to come to mind that setting up site after site to no end is pointless if they don’t make much of an impact via product and service offerings. Take a good amount of time to backtrack a bit, go back to the drawing board, take out a piece of paper, and really visualize and pictorialize a flowchart, Gantt chart, cause and effect chart, fishbone chart whatever; decide how to create a larger network of sites that complement one another, and how this network can promote and reinforce the business identity which is your X-Factor, and how visitor traffic will flow within this network. At what point do they subscribe and at what point do they get sold?

(I last heard that a formal alliance is forged between Virgin Airways, EasyJet and AirAsia to operate long-haul flights from Kuala Lumpur to China, India and the UK. If these airlines operate on their own, their impact and outreach would have been much limited. But now travellers can travel further into more corners of the world as if they were flying with a regular airline, and still at budget rates. It’s the same analogy with websites.)

Once you can define a business system, the business infrastructure becomes more apparent. It combines business modeling and strategies into a whole function that drives the business to work. The more automated the system is, the better (clue: autoresponder).

#2: Set a WAR routine.

Create a set schedule of time to work only on your business.

No distractions. No TV breaks. No running errands. No playing games. No downloading music. No surfing the Net. JUST 100% PRODUCTIVE WORK.

The mind is a very good expert at one thing: distracting itself with easy options when it comes to the crunch. Some friends admire my lifestyle and my work but they don’t seem to understand I also have to pay my own bills and earn my own living. I am only answerable and accountable to MY LIFE!

Therefore set a work schedule or timetable and make a commitment to follow it. You’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see the changes that start to happen and how FAST your business starts to grow as a result.

By the way, if you are quite a seasoned marketer and happened to spend less time checking mails in December, why not challenge youself to bulk-delete marketing-related mails from the past 7 days and DO IT AGAIN next week so as to focus yourself into working on the business? You just might enjoy this new momentum.

#3: Learn real lessons of WAR on the battleground.

As more people around the world become more entrepreneurial, they are also signaling their willingness to learn how to apply the tricks of the trade, otherwise we wouldn’t have so many subscribers. People want to get educated, but they are also likely to think twice about investing a huge sum of money in a seminar, wondering if it’s of any worth at all.

Much as you try to make sense of all the free information on the Internet, nothing beats shortening your learning curve by being right there in the midst of experts. Since you pay for it, they gotta dish it, or else ask for a full refund in every right.

So make it a point to attend at least one good Internet Marketing workshop or boot camp and network with fellow graduates. The truth is, you will be surprised to learn new strategies that has never been revealed, because they are not supposed to be revealed freely. That’s how sensitive information is in this age. No doubt, you will also open up more new opportunities for yourself.

#4: Adapt to the ever-changing situation on the battleground.

Setting a fixed work routine in stone is one thing. Adapting it to fit changes with the times is quite another challenge. How much of a change is required without radically replacing the whole method of work? Take traffic generation for example. It used to be article submission, blogging, viral reports and press releases. Now it’s pinging and tagging, social bookmarking, social networking, and videos. How do you squeeze in the time for all these things?

The first billionaire in human history, J. Paul Getty, said, “I would rather make 1% on the efforts of 100 people than 100% on my own efforts.” From the beginning, it is imperative to get hands-on within a business to understand its dynamics, but it’s all about leveraging on other people’s efforts in the long term. Why? Because time is of essence and you can’t handle everything by yourself.

If you don’t know AdWords, parter up with an AdWords expert to sell for you and profit-share.

If you don’t know eBay, partner up with an eBay expert to sell for you and profit-share.

Pay a student to submit articles. It’s just another form of “data entry job”.

Surround yourself with a group of competent web programmers. You never know when you’ll need their talents.

Get a professional e-cover designer under your wings.

Find a way to outsource blogging too. I’ve found that my WordPress pages are indexed by Google more promptly than any other web pages.

Your role is to formulate clear instructions and commands to mobilize them into action.

In summary, create a whole system of business roles for people, and you have a battalion fighting with you.

Tip #5: Don’t just kill. Take prisoners and build that list!

Even one-day millionaire John Reese wrote that one of your most valuable assets in the ‘game’ of Internet Marketing is your list. Once you have a decent list you can create Cash-On-Demand (COD).

You can generate affiliate commissions anytime you want by mailing your list. You can announce a new product you have and make tons of sales instantly simply by hitting “send”. And you can easily send people to any content page that might contain AdSense ads or anything else that makes you money just by mailing your list and telling them to visit.

He knows what he’s talking about. He also makes 5 figures a month from AdSense and uses the opt-in approach rather than SEO…

Brainstorm more creative ways to get more people on your list. Think of some viral marketing ideas that you can execute. Find other list owners in your market that you can JV with.

Think think think!

There are TONS of ways that you can get people on your list. The trick is to append the underlying purpose of building a list with EVERY marketing move you make. Because if you grow your list, you grow your COD income.

Bonus Tip: Identify, locate and conquer a new battlefield.

It’s about tackling new niches. Why stare at a single tree when there’s a forest around you? There’s much, much more money to be made in 1001 niches out there, even if you know nothing about wedding dresses or iguanas. If only I can hold a pencil in front of you and say, “This pencil IS a market.” Not only that, remember to base your niches on your preferred revenue model. If you are very good at AdSense, model your niche sites to earn mainly from there. If you are very good at eBay, model your niche sites to earn mainly from there, because different revenue models requires different strategies, and you don’t want to spend too much time groping and modifying through the nuances. Otherwise, get help from your battalion.

In case you haven’t come across DTMA, it’s time you should take a look at this passive ad exchange. You receive ads from DTMA members as they are shown on your computer screen the moment you let your computer become idle (screensaver-style), as much as your own ads will beam into another fellow member’s screen somewhere else in the world after you created them inside your DTMA account.

It’s FREE, unobstrusive and doesn’t require any substantial effort on your part. You must be online and idle to allow other people’s ads to show up on your screen to earn credits, so that you can spend your credits to show your ads, though you don’t have to take the trouble to be idle, of course.

Sign up if you want to get your products and services noticed…YES you do!

What we really think as the more interesting part is also where you can take part in a JV to promote and $ell one particular product of Mike Filsaime. You may have known what this product is, and it enjoys a high conversion rate. Look out for a “Joint Venture” link inside your account. That section will take you by the hand and you will be able to set up your sales page within minutes. Here’s another great opportunity to monetize traffic!

============================================================

New content is being added to the members’ area constantly. For example, over the next few weeks Kevin is adding a conference call on Affiliate Marketing and a ‘live’ case study on generating large amounts of web traffic with article marketing.

(The article marketing case study alone is going to last at least a year.)

Now I am going to be upfront with you there is an OTO.

Kevin has put together a membership upgrade package of software and tools that he has hand-picked to help you get your online businesses up and running as fast as possible

This package includes a copy of Adtrackz (considered one of the most powerful testing and tracking software packages available), a membership site script, article submission & popup ad creation software, survey software, fly-in ad creator, web audio creator and more.

Kevin is also creating step-by-step video training to show you exactly how to use the key software in this package – very impressive!

The upgrade package is offered to new members who join DeskTopBucks for a one-time $97 payment.

When you consider that Adtrackz alone can be purchased for more than half of a DeskTopBucks membership price, you’ll understand what a great deal this is, let alone all the other great software and the video training.

Kevin has indicated that the package will be made available in the members’ area soon, but it will be at least twice the price than when it is first offered to new members. If you’re serious about jump starting your online business, I highly recommend you take him up the offer at $97 when you see it.

Regardless of whether you decide to upgrade your membership or not, you’re going to absolutely enjoy the many, many hours of audio and video training available in the members area and the regular updates.

DeskTopBucks truly is a “must have” website membership.

As mentioned above, there is a way for you to get a free membership to DeskTopBucks, normally $147 a year.
