« Previous EntriesTime For Some Blog Talk
Sunday, April 29th, 2007Today I had a guy name Alex make a comment on my blog that lead me to his site. (See why you should comment on blogs. 
) I was really impressed with what I found. His blog is full of cool “how to’s”. Meaning how to stuff related to making money online. Other stuff too, but all we care about is the making money stuff, right?
I spent a while on this blog and found some real “goodies” like…
Wordpress Web-Design for Web 2.0
www.howtospoter.com/web-20/web-design/wordpress-web-design-for-web-20
I’m just now really getting into the whole Web 2.0 stuff, and finding these blog themes really helped out. I’m a blog theme junkie…
Web 2.0 – Social Networks As Targeted Traffic Source
www.howtospoter.com/web-20/social-networking/web-20-social-networks-as-targeted-traffic-source
Using Web 2.0 sites IS a great way to get traffic. Ever since I read Jack Humphrey’s “Authority Black Book”, I’ve been totally hooked!
It looks like this blog is just getting started, and I hope Alex continues with his kick butt info!
In other blog news…
Lynn Terry, who is one of the first people I talked and listened to online when I first started into Internet marketing found John Hostler (my business partner) and I’s ResellRightsForNewbies.com site and “pimped” us. You can see what Lynn thinks by going to www.clicknewz.com/685/free-resell-rights-tutorial
Lynn has always had a great blog, so I highly recommend you take a look at her other posts while you’re there. My favorites from tonight are…
Social Networking
www.clicknewz.com/social-networking
It’s web 2.0 related. Of course I love that one.
I’ve been teaching my coaching clients lately several ways to get paid for blogging. From selling backlinks on their own blogs to actually getting paid to blog and it seems Lynn is doing the same thing. Check out her posts about getting paid to post at www.clicknewz.com/538/sponsored-reviews and www.clicknewz.com/185/paid-for-blog-posts
Now here’s the ultimate in Web 2.0 traffic tactics from “the web 2.0/ authority site guy” Jack Humphrey. It’s basically like a technorati you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. If you add Jack to your favorites in Technorati, he’ll do the same for you. I’ve done it and encourage you to do it too… Check out his post at www.jackhumphrey.com/fridaytrafficreport/website-promotion/social-networking/technorati-favorite-blogs-exchange
Okay, that’s all for “blog talk”. I haven’t done a “blog talk” post in awhile so it was long over due. Hence the long post.

Holy Crappin’ A… This Could Be Big…
Friday, April 27th, 2007Notice how every headline out there says….
THIS IS THE NEXT BIG THING
I always just roll my eyes and move on. I’ve just about seen it all, but today what tons of marketers have joked about doing, what we’ve all had thoughts about doing… Is being done…
Internet Marketing Reality TV
At first I laughed, then I got excited, and then I had some negative thoughts like great another wonderful marketing tactic that is going to go around like a bottle of over used amoxicillin that everyone will become immune to.
That’s all I’m going to say for now, but my mouth literally dropped on the floor when I saw that Internet marketing was going the “reality tv route” for real… (I almost said in reality, but I resisted.:) )
If this actually DOES happen. And it actually DOES go before viewers nationwide I think it will be big. However, if it’s just a really cool way to create the next $997 DVD course I’m going to really re-think my marketing tactics on my future projects and see if I can’t invent an “amoxicillin” of my own.
I’ll keep you updated on how this turns out for sure…
Yes, 95% Of People Really Do Fail Online
Thursday, April 26th, 2007I saw a topic on a forum the other day where a few people were discussing… okay, they were out and out arguing about the face that 95% of people who are trying to make money online fail. So, what do you think? Is that a true or false statement?
I’ll say true, and I’m not just guessing. The reason I know 95% of people fail online is because I see them failing. I see the people who are buying ebook after ebook, and software after software and sitting back and complaining that they don’t work. I’ll agree, that a lot of them don’t work, but most of the time it literally is the fault of the person buying the product.
Let me explain… Jane (a fictitious marketer I write about a lot) buys an ebook on how to create money making sites using nothing but RSS feeds. She reads it, and never tries to build the sites because she doesn’t know the technical side of things.
Jane fails…
What could Jane had done note to fail? She could have read the ebook, wrote down everything she needed to do to get one of those sites up and running. When she would come to something she wrote down that she didn’t know how to do, she should have found other resources to teach her how to do what she didn’t know how to do. She’d do this for everything she wrote down until she could successfully build one of these money making sites with nothing but RSS feeds.
Then Jane would go about getting traffic to her new sites. She should write down some ways to get traffic, try them out, keep what works, and ditch what doesn’t.
Jane would succeed if she followed what I stated above.
So let me put this in black and white for you, so you can understand why you might not be succeeding…
You buy a product, and never use it because you don’t know how. You will fail…
You buy a product, learn to use is successfully, and you will succeed.
In order to succeed it takes work. No matter what it is that you are buying, you’re going to have to put work into it. There is no get rich quick, there is no overnight success! It simply does not exist. It’s just used in a lot of ad copy to make you buy something.
So, the next time you go to buy something, keep that in mind!
I just gave you two reasons why I think that 95% of people really do fail online. There’s more though…
Let’s use Jane as an example again.
Jane has bought 10 different products over the last few weeks, and it trying to implement what is being taught in all the products or what the product does. Jane fails…
Why?
I’m sure you know the answer to this. Jane fails because she’s spreading herself too thin and jumping from one product to the next. You cannot do that. When you buy something that is teaching you to do something to make money online, you have to learn to use it as we talked about above, but you also have to give it time to see if it actually works. You can’t just do it for a week and throw up your hands and move on to the next thing.
You also can’t expect to have your attention to be divided between a bunch of different things. I have many things in my business that make me money, but I got one of them at a time making me money. You should focus on one thing, and when it’s successful move on to another thing to increase your income.
Multiple streams of income are very important online, but you can only develop them one at a time.
So what’s the key to not being part of that 95% of people who fail online?
If you are trying to make something work online that will make you money, you have to learn to make it work, give it time to work, and focus only on that one thing. This will make you part of the 5% of people online who succeed!
