How To Combine Your Brain And Willpower To Break The Pattern Of Average Results
There are some sad facts about this article you’ve just started to read, sad for me as the author and sad because it reflects something unfortunate about our current society.
Today we just don’t have enough time to learn new things. Worse still, most people don’t have the motivation to improve themselves and their lives, and instead choose to use what spare time they have to seek instant gratification, short-lived pleasures from entertainment, food and other leisure activities.
It’s a universal law that what comes quickly and easily is not satisfying for a long period of time and often can have a lasting negative impact. Junk food is tasty while you eat it, but it’s not doing much good for your body. Eating raw veggies is not always the tasty option, but doing it for long enough and you start to feel good.
In the Internet marketing space the same rule holds true. The techniques that are easy to do, for example using automation software to scrape RSS content for use on “spam” blogs, is never going to make you money long term. Yet if you focus on producing quality original content on your blog, and do it long enough, you can establish an asset that delivers income for years.
There’s nothing wrong with having fun, enjoying your spare time and occasionally indulging in instant gratification behaviors, but if you want to experience long term satisfaction in your life, you need to invest in yourself and become a better person. You need to become more than most people ever aspire to in their lives.
Most People Will Not Read The Next Paragraph
I said this article is sad for me as the author because the majority of people who were exposed to this text never read this far. Even if the title was compelling enough to convince them to read the first paragraph, they likely only made it as far as one or two paragraphs, began scanning the document from there, or browsed away.
As a blogger you learn to live with short attention spans and as an Internet marketer you learn that you can do very well if you have the attention of a small group of people who love your work. This is a powerful awareness, once you accept it and learn how best to leverage the situation.
Sadly, the knowledge I just shared with you, which I gained through experience and study, and teach to others through this blog each and every week, is insight most people will never become aware of, let alone go on to benefit from by starting their own blog or Internet business.
Pay Attention And Learn A Fundamental Truth
OnlineProfits.com Opens – Do Not Miss This One
Daniel Scocco is the man behind DailyBlogTips.com. I have extreme respect for Daniel because his blog is ranked in the Technorati Top 100 (no easy thing to do) and he’s very humble. He’s a guy who focuses so much on giving to his audience that he almost never does affiliate promotions and just keeps on delivering more and more without really asking for anything in return.
Daniel has been working on something that I’ve known about for quite some time and I’m so happy he’s finally been able to get it out the door. This is definitely a program you should be a part of if you are looking for quality information on the topic of internet marketing.
OnlineProfits.com – A Training Course From Experts
Daniel is a smart guy. He could of launched a training program and facilitated it by himself, but instead he decided to bring on some of the best of the best in different fields. As a result, the Online Profits program features quite a who’s who list of experts, including -
- Michael Gray (SEO expert)
- Neil Patel (Social Media)
- Tamar Weinberg (Social Bookmarking)
- Hamlet Batista (SEO)
- Zac Johnson (Affiliate Marketing)
- Courtney Tuttle (Keyword Research)
- Nathan Rice (WordPress Development)
- Yaro Starak (Watching TV – lol, no Email Marketing)
and of course Daniel himself. I’ve come on board to provide some training on email list building and marketing with blogs.
By bringing together so many experts Daniel’s course will be truly exceptional, as each person focuses on his or her specialty. This also reduces the workload for Daniel, so anyone who is thinking of launching a teaching based membership site or course should take note of this technique.
The program really is an A to Z of internet marketing, taking you through the following modules -
* Introduction and Business Principles
* Domain Names
* Setting Up Your Website
* WordPress
* Web Design for Entrepreneurs
* Business Models
* Choosing Your Niche
* Blogs
* Other Types of Websites
* Web Content and Copywriting
* Basic SEO
* Advanced SEO
* Generating Traffic
* Social Media
* Web Metrics
* Selling Advertising
* Email Marketing
* Affiliate Marketing
* PPC (Pay-per-Click)
* Landing Pages
* Selling Your Products
If you are interested or want more information, take a look at the order page (and for those of you who do not like long form sales copy, you will like Daniel’s page). Here’s the link -
Daniel gave me access to the membership site and it’s very clean. He has modeled a lot of the structure on my own coaching programs (he recently went through my Membership Site Mastermind training modules), including using text and audio based lessons, offering a private forum and a social traffic club for members to help each other with social media.
Look For Quality People As Trusted Sources
Normally I wouldn’t promote a program like this because let’s face it, there are a billion “learn internet marketing” courses out there. As soon as someone figures out how to make a little money from the web they decide why not start a program for beginners on how to do basic web business.
Daniel, by virtue of who he is, gets my support, and the fact that he went after so many experts to help compile this program, is just the icing on the cake.
If you are in a position to learn the full process of how internet marketing works, OnlineProfits.com is worth studying.
Who Is This Program For?
Daniel openly admits that his program is targeted at beginners, so if you already make money online, know how to construct landing pages, your email list is growing nicely, your affiliate sales keep coming in and you are up to date with SEO and PPC, then this course is not for you.
If you’re at the stage of the learning cycle where you are still building awareness of all the options and the systems people currently use online to build successful businesses, this is definitely a good choice to very quickly get up to speed.

I’ll be teaching a module in March about email marketing, a subject I’m dying to sink my teeth into, so if you join the program, look out for that.
Save 50% Deadline Coming Up
The Online Profits training program will be open for new members from January 12 until January 16 only.
The launch price is $48 monthly, and the program has a duration of six months. After January 16, the program will close its doors, to ensure that Daniel and his experts will be able to exceed the expectations of all the registered members.
Late in 2009 Online Profits will open again, but with a price of $98 monthly. If you join now you save yourself 50% off.

Good luck to Daniel and all of his new students who will have the pleasure of working with him.

PS. If you are not sure about Daniel’s program, you know that a guy like him won’t keep your money if you decide the program is not for you. Sign up, try it out and if it’s not the kind of program you want to study during the next six months, ask for your money back.
There really is no risk with offers like this, so I suggest you “try before you buy” and judge the program on what it contains, and not just on what people like me say about it.
How To Establish Cash Flow When Starting A New Business
If you have not done so already, please read the first part of this two part article series on business outsourcing here – When Is The Right Time To Begin Outsourcing?.
In the previous article I discussed the importance of understanding your strategy for outsourcing and how it is important that you comprehend the sequence of tasks to complete, starting with the action that serves to eliminate the immediate constraint.
Despite clarity about what and when to outsource, it all means little if you don’t have the cash to do so.
Money Required
The one major problem that faces new start-up businesses, especially small enterprises launched by solo entrepreneurs, is a lack of cash flow. This problem is broader than just your business as the need for money impacts where you live and how you live as well. How you pay the rent, pay for food and live an enjoyable life is dictated by how much money you have and if your business is intended to be your income source, until it produces cash you’re in trouble.
As a catch-22 situation, many entrepreneurs must take jobs to generate “living” money, which drastically reduces the amount of time available to work on the business. How can you turn your new start-up into an income stream if you are too busy working a job to pay the bills that you can never work on your business?
Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this question and every person faces a unique situation. I don’t have a one-solution-fits-all proposal for you, but what I can do is explain how I made money during the times when my business was not able to support me.
Is Internet Marketing Just Another Fools Gold Rush?
There’s a well known story that the only people who got rich during the gold rush era were the smart business folk who sold the tools to help the prospectors search for gold – the shovels and picks and so forth.
There were thousands of miners and a limited supply of gold. Those who got in first or were lucky, struck it rich. Their story spread far and wide, encouraging others to chase the same dream, feeling the hope and motivation that comes when you hear others success stories.
Sadly, most left empty handed, in debt and bitter (or dead!).
Smart entrepreneurs saw a much more reliable opportunity. When you have thousands of people experiencing a desire for something with such passion, you can sell them tools and resources to help them meet that desire. While there was no guarantee of gold, there were enough people trying to find it, that businesses who served the gold-digging industry profited a lot more than the average miner ever did.
A comparison has been made between the gold rush era and what we are going through online today in the Internet marketing industry.
- We have a bunch of people “mining for gold” trying to make money from the Internet.
- They are inspired by those few success stories they hear about others who have “struck it rich” online.
- And there’s a small crowd of business folk teaching how to make money online, who are themselves making good money supplying the “miners with tools”.
So the question needs to be asked: Are the only people profiting today selling tools to the struggling miners who are foolishly digging for gold by trying to make money online?
One Point Of View
It’s true a lot of people make money teaching others the techniques to make money, or selling software that exists to help with this activity. If you read my blog for long enough you will see plenty of coaching programs, scripts, reports, MP3s, DVDs, seminars and conferences that all exist to serve the needs of the prospective Internet marketer.
Unfortunately, many people who never actually earned a dime on the web are spending their entire time trying, and usually failing, to sell the manuals, courses and scripts that help people to earn a living online.
They are selling make money products without every having made money, or put another way – it’s like the blind leading the blind!
On quick inspection you might even look at the Internet marketing industry as a modern day pyramid scheme, with the few profiting marketers at the top – those who got in first or early when the craze began, making money selling hope to those who came after, pushing the dream of making a living online knowing full well that most people will never realize that outcome.
What Is The Truth?
Traffic Secrets 2.0 Has Arrived – Join My Private Club Now
My copy of Traffic Secrets 2.0 from John Reese arrived last week and I’m about to dive in and study the resources.
Here’s a short video of me going through the product -
To order go here: http://www.trafficsecrets.com/home
If you haven’t ordered your copy it’s not too late, you can purchase Traffic Secrets 2.0 and you are still eligible for my bonus, an invitation into my private Traffic Secrets club, including access to the members only forums and live teleconferences with me.
Over 50 people have already ordered through my link and so far the feedback on the course is very good. John’s produced a really polished product.
The study package and access to the Traffic Secrets 2.0 live community costs $397 and in my case I think that’s great value because just a 1% increase in my sales as a result of a boost to my traffic easily recoups my cost, but I expect it will help me a lot more than that.
For more information about what is in the package, see here –
http://www.trafficsecrets.com/home
If you can’t afford to buy Traffic Secrets 2.0 you should at least spend some time watching the free videos John released in the lead up to the product launch if you haven’t seen them already. Here are the links -

No doubt what John teaches me will influence some of the future posts at this blog. I won’t be able to go into as much detail as the full training package does, but hopefully I can share a few nuggets based on my own interpretation and testing of the techniques.
