Blog pre-announcement (please read)

May 9, 2008 · Filed Under Blogging, Traffic & Conversion · 1 Comment 

Wow, another flood of responses to my question about blogs.

By and large, the answers were:

“Yes, please help me to make money from my blog.”

…and…

“Yes, I’d very much like an ebook about setting up a blog.”
(roughly half said this).

…and…

“Yes, I want a blog built, but I don’t want to do it
myself…so long as I can find someone who knows what
they are doing.”

I pretty much expected these answers.

And it should probably be no surprise to you by now that
I’ve been working on something that will help you with
blogs and blogging.

My partner on this project is Ross Goldberg. He’s a master
at driving traffic, and regularly takes in $50,000 a month
or more…much of it from traffic generated by his blogs.

Ross is one of the leading Web 2.0 traffic generation
specialists, and you’re about to pick his brain a bit.

He’s set up dozens of blogs, knows all of the ’secret
ninja’ plugins and Wordpress tricks…

And he’s going to help me help you with Blogs and blogging.

Setup
Traffic
Monetization

And more…

That’s all I can say for now. Just be looking for another
email from me sometime around 10am Pacific time.

To Your Success,

Time Management + Your New Blog = Help!?!

I was speaking with Ross Goldberg about an email I received in my inbox on Wednesday from one of my Workshop members. (The Workshop is my coaching club) It was about blogs. And it turns out that Ross had received an email that asked a nearly identical question.

Here’s the one that was sent to me.

Mark,

I read both e-books that you created
(for your coaching club) on the blogs
and they both made total sense, even the
technical one, however we are really
swamped and if we could outsource the
work I may be interested.

Are you able to build our blog to the
same specs as what you described in your
techie manual (i.e. Wordpress, look,
add-ins functionality etc)? If yes, what
would you charge for this service?

If you can’t take this work, can you
recommend anybody? The link you had for
(the guy who charged $999) was not
working so I’m kind of out of ideas.

Thanks Mark for your consideration and I
hope to hear back from you soon!

The manuals that David is referring to are a pair of books that I wrote about blogging for marketers and distributed to my coaching club. One was all about Read more

List Building (NOT for beginners)

April 24, 2008 · Filed Under Marketing Seminars, Marketing Tools, Traffic · Comment 

I get asked about this all the time, but mostly by beginners. My apologies, but this message isn't really intended for beginners.

And that's not because you can't grasp the ideas here (because you can), or because I don't think you're capable (because you are) or because it's too expensive (it might be).

No, it's because the way this list building program is structured, if you're not successful, you don't pay, and the people putting this together want to reduce the chance of returns and cancellations.

They're shooting for 100% success.

So inviting only intermediate and advanced marketers to this is how they're trying to ensure the highest success rate possible.

So if you're a rank beginner — even if you REALLY NEED to learn HOW TO BUILD A LIST– then there's really no reason to read further.

I'm sorry (I'm just the messenger).

But if you've actually got a business, and you know what you're doing (ie it's not an accident), and your business is working for you, then read on.

Quick (4-Minute) Online Money-Making Projects

April 23, 2008 · Filed Under Marketing Tools, Traffic & Conversion · Comment 

Got a short attention span (like me)? Or do you still have a regular "job" while trying to build your online business?

There's lotsa ways to make money online. Sometimes what you want to do is take the time to plan out something big, and make the big money all at once.

On the other hand, sometimes having a quick four or five minute task that can earn you $50 a week from now on.

I just came across a kit called "4-minute money" that is filled with these simple, quick money making techniques. They really do take just 4 minutes. Do them today, tomorrow, and the next day…it adds up.

And it turns out that Harris Fellman (brilliant guy) is behind all of this.

If you've got a short attention span, or if you need to build your internet fortune during coffee breaks at your "real job", go check it out.

4 Minute Money

Very interesting techniques.

Your “Make Money Blogging” Questions

April 23, 2008 · Filed Under Traffic, Traffic & Conversion · 47 Comments 

Can you take a moment to answer a question for me?
 
You see, I'm working on a project to help you out with something that is critical these days in helping you get more traffic, convert that traffic to sales, and earn revenue from those visitors in other ways, whether they buy from you or not.

What I'm talking about can also SAVE you money.

When Google slapped everyone a couple of years ago, it's GOOD CONTENT that got your cost per click back down to where it belonged.

There was no better place to put that content than blogs.

I've got about a dozen friends who make thousands of dollars a month (some make $1,000 to $2,000 per day) on their blog.

If you knew that this much money was flowing into your bank account every day, Read more
