Entrepreneurs-Journey.com Down-To-Earth Advice For Bloggers and Internet Marketers

I promised you some snapshots of the Dot Com Secrets print magazine as soon as my copy arrived from the USA. The March edition arrived in the mail last week and I’ve grabbed the trusty digital camera to show you what the magazine looks like.

If you remember I ordered the free (you pay $7.95 for shipping) Dot Com Secrets DVD from Russell Brunson, which includes a one month trial of the magazine, The DotComSecrets ‘Insider’ Journal.

There are not many full gloss magazines talking about Internet marketing and a guy with Russell’s experience and staff working with him, has the resources to put something quite polished together. It’s a great little magazine, the only problem to keep your subscription going you need to invest online info product fees ($39.95 a month) rather than offline magazine rates.

If Russell’s magazine was published offline and distributed via traditional means like newsagents you would pay maybe $10-$15 a copy at most. Offline magazines are supported by advertising and the Dot Com Secrets magazine at the moment is nearly 100% content, so there’s that trade off, but the main price driver is the model used for pricing online information.

Real world books cost $15-$40, online they tend to average anywhere from $37-$97. Online information is generally much more focused and to-the-point than offline books and serve a different market segment, yet it’s still an interesting observation of perceived value and pricing models. For whatever reason, people are prepared to pay more for online information products and expect to pay a lower price for a book in the real world even if the cost of distribution and manufacturing for an offline book is significantly more than a digital download. It’s amazing what we come to perceive as acceptable when it comes to pricing, but as Internet marketers seeking profits from online products we shouldn’t have any complaints!

What Is In The Magazine?

Remember how I told you about Russell Brunson’s free DVD in this post - Get Your Free DVD From Russell Brunson - Dot Com Secrets?

Back then when I wrote it I was still studying my way through Rich Schefren’s materials and working in Canada. Now that I’m back in Oz I’ve got time again to study more Internet marketing materials from the best, so I’ve just spent the $7.95 shipping fee to purchase the Dot Com Secrets DVD. You also get a free consultation from a “millionaire development coach”, which should be interesting :-), and a copy of Russell’s print magazine.

I already have the first edition of Russell’s print magazine being an affiliate of his, and I must say I was excited to see a real glossy magazine dedicated to the Internet marketing world. There isn’t anything like it out there and it reminds of my days when I was younger collecting video game magazines, enjoying the anticipation and reading about upcoming games more than actually playing them. I’d show you a scan of the front cover, but it’s not here with me yet, it’s on the way from Canada along with a bunch of books I chose to ship back home because I didn’t have room in my luggage to take on the plane with me.

The print magazine is pretty good, but I still like Perry Marshall’s Renaissance Club print newsletter better because, so far, it is more practical and advanced and focused on direct marketing. Russel’s magazine is on the whole Internet marketing industry so you get everything, from copywriting advice, SEO, PPC, site design, etc. I’ve only seen one issue, so I won’t pass judgement yet - hopefully having a window into how Russell runs his business will be the real killer offer from my point of view.

I’ve been hearing more and more good things about Russell, and like Mike Filsaime, I find their Internet marketing rise to riches the best case studies to follow if you want to do the same. I learn so much from watching these guys do what they do and studying the materials they publish.

As always once I get my hands on the DVD and some more copies of the magazine I’ll be certain to report back to you my opinion of them.

If you can’t wait and want to get the DVD now, Russell has 3000 available currently for only the price of shipping. You can order it from here:

It’s time for another Internet marketing product launch! Whether you like them or hate them (I’m a little of both), you can’t deny they offer a great chance to get free content and an opportunity to “watch and learn” to see how millions are generated in a short period of time.

If you have the investment cash available and it make sense to your unique situation, purchasing a big Internet marketing product can be the best way to start an Internet business because you get a blueprint from someone who has done it already. Theoretically you just need to follow the steps and execute to start making money online - theoretically!

That’s the exact reason I agreed to help out Russell Brunson with his launch of DotComSecrets - because he’s created a product designed to help people get started in Internet marketing from the ground up. This is the first time he’s releasing a home study course and he’s starting out by giving away his business plan on DVD, you just have to pay for shipping.

Of course you can expect to hear more about the full product you will be able to buy down the line, but as per usual you are not obligated to purchase - you can pay the $2.97 shipping, get your DVD and then opt out and never hear from Russell again if you don’t want to.

You can check out the selling points and then order your DVD from the Dot Com Secrets Free DVD Special Offer Page.

And yes, of course, I am an affiliate in this launch so if one or two of you do decide to buy the big product when it is released I will get a commission, which I thank you for. For the time being I recommend you take advantage of the free materials from Russell and assess whether his business model is a good one.
