Hey readers!
I received the opportunity to review 'TrafficHybrid System" by David Bullock and George Katsoudas. The thing about this book that pulled me to it in the first place, was the claim that they make...
What's even better is that you can get traffic from it in as little as 24 hours, the traffic will be super high quality and you will need to do almost zero work!
That's the claim that got me. Then I started to read more into the sales page, and noticed that these guys were PAYING for free traffic. Yeah, you read that correctly. So, I got my hands on a copy of it, just to read what the heck they were talking about, and I discovered the following... No one, and I repeat NO ONE, has ever taught this in any way shape or form.Seriously, this traffic tactic outdoes Google Adwords and other PPC services by a long shot. The traffic is WAY more targetted, and pretty much ready to buy whatever it is. The thing is, we all have been introduced to this method, but we have never though of actually paying for it. After reading the 67-page guide over and over again, it makes perfect sense that one would pay for this type of promotion from now on. Many people actually enjoy doing this for free, and I'm one of those guys. But after reading this guide, I changed my mind about that in a heartbeat. The fact of the matter is, the TrafficHybrid method is so simple in nature, but it does require a little effort on your part. Not any back-breaking work or anything, but simply getting it implemented. All you need is a few bucks, and you're set. And here's the kicker that really makes this package attractive... They give you a 'copy-and-paste' swipe file that you can use to make it so much easier.Imagine...you got a few bucks in your paypal account. You copy and paste the swipe file to www.________.com. You shell out a few bucks, and then sit back and watch the magic happen. You can sit on the beach and drink Bahama Mama's, sit home and watch the big game, go play with your kids, and come back to RESULTS. In the end, this system gets good results. It doesn't matter whether or not you're trying to build a list, sell a product, promote someone else's product...it works. The reason why I say this outdoes Google Adwords and other PPC sites, is because PPC sites are real restrictive as to what your landing page should have. And if they don't, then you're probably going up against a bunch of other 'duds' who will in turn discourage your potential customers from the lack of quality of their sites. With TrafficHybrid, you don't have to worry about your landing page, or have to monitor your daily budget. You pay once, and you can get an unlimited amount of website visitors...without having to worry about how much each click is going to cost you. That's why I'm using the TrafficHybrid System from here on out instead of pesky PPC. I never was a big fan of PPC, and in the past, I used to put up the rent money on a PPC campaign, hoping to get results. In the end, there were NO results (and a pissed-off landlord LOL). That's what makes this new system so special...because your promotions are getting in front of truly targeted individuals who are pretty much ready to buy from you, or do whatever it is you want them to do. I've arranged a discount with David and George (the authors), and I'm allowed to give my friends a $10 discount if I wish. So, that's what we've arranged for you. You won't notice the discount until you've reached the order page. That's how it's designed...that wasn't up to me. But when you're negotiating a discount for your close friends...you'll do anything. Here's the link to the TrafficHybrid System: http://tmharris.net/traffichybrid I know you'll be happy with this one...as many of the books I've been asked to review have been crap, and those reviews have NEVER made it to this site. I only talk about the best of the best...the stuff that delivers results, not hopes, wishes and dreams. Until next time, T.M.
Hey readers! I normally don't post twice a day on my blog, but this is something that I figured everyone should read, as it's the latest type of email scam I've seen.
This email showed up in my personal inbox this morning, and it's truly pathetic. I've seen email scams from 'dying political figures', 'sick millionaires', fake death threats extorting people for money, and so much other crap...but this takes the cake.
Why don't people just go out and GET A JOB?!
Well, here's the email if you wanna read it. You might get one soon from the next scammer trying to get rich quick:
____________________________________
Dear, My name is Sgt James Urban, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regimient, Patrols Tal Afar, in Iraq. I apologized using this medium to reach you for a deal of this magnitude. We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein’s family. The total amount is US$25 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills. We want to move this money to you, so that you may invest it for us and keep our share for banking. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your share of the sum will be 30% of the US$25 million, 60% for us and 10% will be kept aside for expenses and rest assure that this business is 100% safe on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Basically since we are working for the American Government, we cannot keep these funds, We plan on using diplomatic courier by shipping the money out to you by using diplomatic immunity. No strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, for Iraq is a war zone. You will only help the diplomat to get the yellow tag paper as soon as they arrive in your airport, they will have to call you to notify you that they have arrive for you to arrange with them on geting the tag so that the custom and immigration will not inspect the consignment. If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/address for quick communication for the delivery. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this business is risk free. Respectfully submittedSgt. James Urban.

You need a quick job? CLICK HEREThat should give you a good laugh, if not a realistic way of making money online with a PC. Be safe, T.M.
Hey readers!
Today, Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula 2.0 gets released today. There's one thing though...I'm not promoting it...and for good reason.
Number one, my prospects just don't have the money for Jeff's expensive courses. All of his courses are at least $1000+...no wonder he makes good money from his business. When you charge a minimum of $1000 for your product, even one sale makes you a 'thousand-aire'. And with so many people promoting his site today and over the past month, I'm sure he's going to clear the $1 Million mark.
So, I wish Jeff good luck with his launch today...but I'm not promoting it.
If you want my honest opinion...Product Launch Formula is merely a nice bundle of relationship marketing techniques to create a more personal environment for potential customers rather than a pushy sales environment that we're all used to when we see sales pages, timers, limited discounts and 'fast action' bonuses.
I actually have an entire blueprint behind how you can pretty much carry out your own product launch the same way all of Jeff's students do.
The article is called "The Psychological Backbone Behind a Product Launch", and I invite you to read it. It basically shows you the 5 psychological elements that must be present in your advertising campaign so that when the time comes to launch your product, you'll have the biggest amount of mental and financial leverage to really succeed.
I hope you enjoy it, folks!
T.M.
P.S. - Doesn't Product Launch Formula sound a little like Frank Kern's "Mass Control" launch back in February? I noticed when I was viewing the pre-launch videos for both, they almost seemed alike...and they even did a video together (ironically). Get the skinny behind it all from "Mass Control Revealed!" when Frank Kern did a teleseminar with Simon Hodgkinson and Jeremy Gialason.
Hey readers!
Usually, I don't do FAQ's for other people's products...but after the post I made the other day about Ewen's system...I might have been a bit unclear with my review, almost making it sound like a really good pre-sell. Besides, some of the feedback I've gotten is simply people asking for more info.
Now, although I've agreed not to divulge too much about the program without revealing its content, I'll answer a few concerns I've heard.
In the informational guide, Ewen makes mention of P2P networks and how they can help you with his methods. Crazy enough, they really do...and in all honesty, using P2P networks just makes it all a tad easier. Sites like Limewire and BitTorrent make the job easier, and let other people do the work FOR YOU. Project #1 & #2 in Ewen's "No Sales System" are actually dead easy, and if you use P2P, it's a lot more natural and effective for you to make off like a bandit.
Project #3 in "No Sales System" can't use P2P, but seriously people _______ _______s everyday for their web browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox Mozilla. The crazy thing is...even I'm guilty of doing what people do in Project #3, as I think it helps my online marketing...but I didn't realize until now that you could be PAID for doing this, instead of getting just personal satisfaction from doing it.
Project #4 in "No Sales System" uses ____ _____s. This basically guarantees that if you own your own website (free or paid) that you will be compensated for your hard work of getting people to your website. I read something like this before in another guide, BUT...the program mentioned in the other guide SUCKS compared to the sites that "No Sales System" talks about. The technique is actually kinda taboo, but perfectly legal. The thing is...not a lot of people like _______s. But once you read about this project, you'll fall in love with them instead.
Here's a hint about project #4...some people like _____s, other's hate them. No matter whether they like them or not, you still get paid, easily...and truly compensated for your hard work (it's not that hard, though lol)
Project #5 in "No Sales System" actually requires a little work. Not much though. With a lot of the programs mentioned, you can basically map out WHEN you should do it. Some will make money for you easily...depending on what time of the year it is. Imagine getting paid $8 quickly and easily just for telling people about ____. One of my own guides briefly talks about this site, but by doing it this way, you can easily see money, regardless and a lot more easily.
Of course, Ewen has to talk about building a website. It's been one of his 'things' for a long time since I remember buying my first ebook from him. Honestly, you really don't need a website for two of the projects, but if you have to set up one, he shows you how to set up a formidable and respectable website for $0.00.
In all due respect, a lot of people have been downplaying Ewen Chia and his "No Sales System" because of guides that he's put out in the past. I can understand this, as there was ONE guide I bought from him "Autopilot Profits" that I was kinda disappointed with. I didn't even promote it after I bought it. BUT...this guide is different.
It's not rehash to say the least. I noticed on a lot of forums and such that people were screaming how it might be rehashed PLR. It's not, and I know this for a fact because I collect PLR products on a regular basis (like everyday). And this stuff has never been mentioned in any other guide before.
I mean, we all know Ewen and "No Sales System" uses Clickbank, so there's a 8-week money-back guarantee. That's one thing that you should always remember when purchasing products with Clickbank.com. You are guaranteed to get your money back within 8-weeks if you're not satisfied.
I was satisfied with the guide, only because at least it's not recycled crap...but I had heard of these tactics before. C'mon, I've been marketing for three years now...so I know about all the in's and out's of the game. But for a newbie who's been buying into every hope and wish and dream like "Google Cash" (you know affiliate links + Google Adwords ads) or the Rich Jerk (affiliate programs + other crap)...the "No Sales System" is a breath of fresh air.
There's no pressure to try and convert people into sales. There's no pressure to try and get people on your mailing list. If you're a newbie who's been finding it hard to make affiliate sales or get Adsense revenue...this system is cool for you as it makes the internet a more profitable venue for you...and honestly, you can get started in literally 15 minutes after reading this guide and start cashing in.
I really didn't want this to sound hyped, but it's the truth. I've read "No Sales System" two times over, so that I can give you a decent review on it. People were screaming at me saying how I didn't read the guide and that I was just being a 'hype man' for the project. If you know me, I don't promote or endorse anything I haven't read or used.
I just hope the review above proves it to you. Here's the site if you haven't darted there already (or if you still have a pulse lol)

Until later,

Hey my friend. I hope your Easter was a good one. Even though it
was a religious holiday...it was pure HELL in my house. I spent
most of the day trying to stop my daughter from beating up on her
younger brother.
That in itself is a TASK!
Anyway, I titled this post "beating a dead horse" because
pretty much, for 95% of all newbies...that's what they're doing.
The reason being, you're always trying to sell stuff online,
primarily other people's stuff as an affiliate, right?
Either that, or you're just trying to score some quick Google
Adsense loot...and we all know how reliable Adsense is nowadays
(...and I say that VERY sarcastically)
Well...I'll be serious with you. If you're tired of trying to sell
other people's stuff as an affiliate, and you're tired of working
for peanuts with your Google Adsense hustle...
STOP DOING IT!!!
Really! Just stop it! If it's not working for you, then there's
no reason why you should keep trying to make it work. It's like
beating a dead horse...it still ain't going to go anywhere!
All in all, you need a different plan of action, a different system
that doesn't force you to have to try and 'sell' something...or that
forces you to try and make people click on your Adsense ads.
Honestly, it's no fun when you're not making affiliate sales or
generating any Adsense revenue.
So can you do me a favor? Take five minutes to check out this site
I just heard about this morning, that was released last night by Ewen Chia.
http://www.tmharris.net/nosales
It's called "No Sales System" and it's the latest publication from the famed "#1 Affiliate Marketer"
I know you'll probably skip right to the bottom of the sales page,
and never read a word of the letter. I'm not stupid...as I also do
the same thing LOL
So, I'll give you the 411 (information) on the site since you'll
probably just skim it over:
* How to get up to 40% of your visitors to make you cash, without selling them on anything.
* The #1 and #2 websites that will p.ay you cash without you selling or promoting anything (this has nothing to do at all with Adsense or pay-per-lead programs).
* How to get people to beg you to actually make you more money from them, without you selling or promoting them anything!
* The #1 thing people will absolutely want, so you can make more money.
* A highly controversial tactic that will flood your accounts with cold hard cash.
* How to effectively leverage P2P networks to make more money. (yes, sites like BitTorrent and Limewire)
* The #1 web 2.0 tactic that will get you more 'buy happy' visitors, more easily.
* How to easily make over $100,000 a year, almost effortlessly!
Trust me, there's a crap-load more on the site...but that's only if
you read it over. The product is $5 now, point blank. No surprises
there. The question is...do you think $5 is worth it to learn
something that outperforms and outdoes anything else that you've
blown your hard-earned paycheck on already?
The internet is changing everyday, and new fads and tactics are
being devised on a daily basis. With these changing times, YOU have
to start concentrating on adapting to the times, and using ONLY what
works. 'Selling' someone else's product or Adsense ad is dead. You
need a new strategy that isn't going to hurt you, but actually HELP
YOU.
With that being said, I'll leave you the website one more time:
http://www.tmharris.net/nosales
If you want my honest opinion, if you're failing online, you'd have
to be a FOOL not to at least consider this... Like I said, why keep
trying beating a 'dead horse' back to life, when you can ride a
winner?
I gotta run. I have jelly beans and tons of fake easter grass to
clean up, since my daughter found her easter basket. grrrrrrr
Until later,

With all of the hooplah involving product launches and such…I wanted to point out a few things to you about them, and how YOU can easily replicate them easily.
Don't worry...there's no sales promo or affiliate link for Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula 2.0...although I wish I had one, as his stuff is damn good.
Let me break it down to you…this unique ‘product launch formula’ is nothing short of relationship marketing. This is the idea of creating a different buying environment for people instead of a pushy sales page with all types of bells and whistles and windows that pop up when you try to leave. It can be easily accomplished as long as you can provide that different buying environment for your potential customers. It doesn’t matter what niche you are in. There are five things that you need to have in a product launch in order for it to be a success… - A sense of authority
- A sense of credibility
- A showcase of your personality
- A sense of community
- A limited offer
That’s pretty much it. You need to show a sense of authority so that people will understand that you are the ‘go-to’ guy/gal in whatever niche you’re in. You can easily do this with content, people. He who has the answers to people’s problems/concerns, holds the authority. That’s why all these internet marketing ‘gurus’ get huge masses of people flocking to their website during a pre-launch. They have the answers to our problems through content, and we’re hooked. Look at Frank Kern’s Mass Control launch earlier this year? He had 50K+ subscribers during his pre-launch, and only had 500 spots open on his training course. But he drew all those people to his page by getting his JV partners to promote his free content to draw them all in. Notice during these so-called ‘pre-launches’ how they give out a lot of good stuff to get you hooked and to get you to believe that they’re the sh**. Well, it works…and the millions of dollars these guys have proves it. Credibility, that’s when your stuff is believable. You’re trying to get people to recognize that you’re that ‘go-to’ guy. And sometimes content doesn’t always do it. Sometimes you need the affirmation of your peers saying that you’re the real deal. That’s what testimonials and even blog comments are for. I know this one has you thinking…doesn’t it??? Personality. Basically, people aren’t going to buy from someone that they don’t feel comfortable handing over their cash to. That’s just a known fact. The only time that statement isn’t true is when it comes to paying the tax man. LOL Anyway, if you’re just an average Tom, Dick or Gregory on the internet, I’m not handing you my money for nothing! So, why not show a little bit of personality in your writings? Give the person a reason to like you. Your most valued customers are going to be the ones who actually like you for who you are. Don’t believe me? Take a moment to email your list and tell them a little bit about yourself, and how you can relate to them (if possible). Show them you’re human. Show them that they’re not just dollar signs to you, but rather actual people. Because in the end, at the other end of the PC, there’s a human being with thoughts, emotions and rational thinking that you want to give you their money. Community. When I say community, I basically mean leave your content open for discussion by those who read it. Blogs are your best source for this. Notice how all of these million dollar product launches post all of their pre-launch content on a blog? That’s so people who read/view the content can see their peers giving credibility for the content and the author. Notice how you never see a bad comment get posted on these pre-launch blogs. Bad comments = Bad PR for their launch. Always keep it positive in your community, and your community will be positive when it comes launch time. And make sure that you answer any objections on your blog. That shows a little class and that you can handle anything…hence, showing more of your authority. The limited offer. I’m sure you’ve seen them before. Frank Kern did it perfectly. He had 50K during his pre-launch and limited his launch to 500 customers…plus, he mentioned how he was going to pull it down when he reached around 500 or so since he didn’t want to take too many people on board. He limited the quantity and the time on his offer. Of course that’s gonna stir up a buying frenzy, especially when he gave out free content, got good feedback on it, got his readers talking on the blog, and showed them that he’s a normal guy from California who likes the same stuff we do. So, he had the ultimate product launch formula behind him. Hence, he pulled in 1 Million gross sales in 53 minutes when his offer went live. When you put it all together the right way, you can have a million dollar launch. I hope you know this is all information that’s in my 100-page ebook “Internet Marketing Mastermind”. Given the response I’ve been getting to my blog posts recently, I think that Tuesday I’m going to release a few copies to the general public. Here’s where I would want you to comment…how much would you pay for a 100-page ebook? Seriously, I’ve never written or sold a book that long before…so I’m curious as to how much you’d pay for something like that. I’ll post some more content tomorrow for you guys. Make sure you subscribe to my blog or my mailing list so I can keep you informed, OK? T.M.

http://tmharris.net/blog/2008/03/easiest-way-to-promote-any-affiliate-product-with-no-money/
Hey there readers! I learned about this recently, and I wanted to share it with you, because in all honesty…you can use this to EASILY promote any affiliate link with damn near perfect success. Seriously, I wanted to show you this, because I actually want to teach people how to promote MY products so that we ALL can make money. LOL Gotta love my hustle, right? But anyway, let’s get down to business. First off, you need a blog. If you don’t have one, get one. It’s free, buddy…no matter which way you look at it. Get a blog, get a blog, get a blog! Go to blogger.com or wordpress.com and get one for free. Thank you. This might sound cheesy, but the fact of the matter is, this translates into traffic, that converts into sales, especially if you do this simple tactic. Set up your free blog, and then hit up Google. Using the dating niche as an example, this would be my search… dating sucks forum Yup, I’m going after disgruntled people in that niche, and trying to satisfy them in a personal manner. Watch. I’ll visit the forum, and look at a few threads, just to see why these people hate dating so much. These types of hate forums are nothing but complainers, always talking about why they couldn’t get down with whatever your niche is. So, they’re telling you what they’re looking for! You don’t have to ask for it, or even have to post the forum asking a question to find out what they want. The entire forum is for people to talk about their hate for a niche, and discuss why they hate it. You’re going to turn this into a nice “pre-sell” for any affiliate product. Sooooooo…. We jot down these frustrations, because we’re going to repost them in a blog post. When I was searching dating hate forums I would jot down what they’re talking about. People were saying how, I can’t get a girl because I’m fat, or I hate online dating ’cause I only find whackos…so I copied this down and put it in a blog post. I’d start off a blog talking about “why would anyone hate [niche]?” Then I’d outline each reason in a new paragraph. After all of it, I would say, “but even though someone could hate [niche] for those reasons, they probably haven’t seen this website that I found today”. Then I’d say “On this website I found out these things about why you shouldn’t hate [niche]” I’d proceed by rewording a few benefits from the site’s salespage, or I’d just reword their bullet points. Then I would say “For someone knowing a little bit about why people would hate [niche], I seriously believe that this is something that would make you no longer hate it. I know they have a guarantee on the website, so they must stand by their promises.” Then I’d present my affiliate link (cloaked, of course), and then throw this in… “If you’ve heard of this website before, definitely post your comments about it, so that others can read it and make their own decision for themselves.” Then, I’d simply accept good comments, and reject bad comments. I’d always make everything on my blog reassuring to the reader, from the content to the feedback. Make sure that on your blog you can moderate all comments before they get posted. Any negativity (bad comments) is only going to kill your promotion. You want everything to be on the up and up for everyone, so that everyone who reads will feel more comfortable with going to the site and making the purchase. Make sure you ping your blog when you post it, and ping it when comments have been accepted. Usually a blog should have two feeds. One for your posts and one for your comments. That’s because people sometimes subscribe to the comments of a blog, since they were a part of the discussion. Anywho, I’d return the forum, register for it for free, and then edit my ’signature’. In my signature I’d post a link to my blog post saying “Why Would Anyone Not Like [niche]? - My Thoughts” I’d B.S. some quick two-lined posts just to start getting my name around on the threads, and subscribe to the thread via email. That way, I can monitor how many people are viewing my signature, especially in a niche where I have the solution to their ‘hate’ for a niche. They’re in distress, and I’m their hero…but I’m feeding off of their hate in a personal manner via forum, and good blog copy based upon the feedback THEY were already putting out on the forum. Hope this helps you out! And make sure you subscribe to my blog if you wouldn’t mind.
If you want to learn a little more about some advanced affiliate marketing tactics that you can use NOW, check out this offer from Andrew Fox…he’s one of the experts on affiliate marketing. I should know because I’ve read his stuff, and he’s damn good. He's got a course on it, and I recommend courses, only because it paces your learning and helps you to better comprehend the information and the values behind those teachings.
So go check it out, OK?
Until tomorrow, T.M.
Hey readers. This post is going to shock you and might even make you dummy smack yourself... Today, I wanted to talk about a black woman from Mississippi who came up poor and instantly became the world's #1 super affiliate marketer. She never created an ebook on her success as an affiliate, she didn't offer any high-priced seminars showing people how she did it. As a matter of fact, about 99.99% of people who know her have no idea she's even the world's #1 affiliate marketer. Who is this woman? OPRAH WINFREY Think about it...she embodies everything that a super affiliate marketer is supposed to be, and has done everything that these affiliate gurus do. - She has a following that hangs off her every word (Oprah's Book of the Month Club & TV Audience)
- She constantly has new content to build her authority as an expert (her TV shows interviewing experts)
- She makes heartfelt recommendations based on the needs and desires of her followers
Now, I want you to seriously think. This woman is well worth billions beyond billions of dollars. Do you really think she recommends other people's products and items on her show for nothing? Every book she recommends to her 'book of the month club', she's probably getting royalty and commission checks for it. She probably gets paid to recommend half of the stuff, anyway. These are things that the 'super affiliate marketers' do daily. They promote other people's products for a commission. They take money and contact their vast list of followers with a 'paid advertisement'. The super affiliates interview experts and become experts by association (like Oprah does). The thing is...Oprah's been doing this a long time, and she's still going strong, whether you like her or not. Honestly, I respect her hustle, as it should be an example to all affiliate marketers worldwide. - She built a following (a 'list' to us marketers)
- She has a big venue to deliver her message (TV for her, websites and blogs for us)
- She has credibility by association by interviewing the experts (marketers do this via teleseminars, webinars, and interview transcripts)
These are things we all should be doing to build our affiliate marketing business. And, the best example by far, that hasn't been publically documented, is by watching what Oprah does everyday. I don't watch her show. It's too girly for me...but you have to respect the fact that she has a targeted list of leads (her TV viewers and book club members - mostly women) and she advertises to them without pushing them to buy anything. She gives her recommendation, offers a review of it by telling her feelings about it and divulging some of the content, and she makes the call to action ("Ladies, this is a must-have, go pick it up at your local bookstore") So, before you decide to pick up that book by some 'beach bum turned affiliate marketing millionaire' or that skinny guy from Singapore, or from the guy who went 'from food stamps to 6 figures'...remember, that the best affiliate marketing lesson can be learned from a daytime talk show. You probably weren't expecting me to do a whole blog post on Oprah, did you? :) T.M. Harris ______________________________________
This post was taken from my other blog: http://tmharris.net/blog/2008/03/the-black-woman-from-mississippi-who-became-the-worlds-1-super-affiliate-marketer/
I didn't realize this until the other day when I read this guide "Sneaky Cost Cutters Revealed", but I figured that I would tell you anyway.
Are you aware that if you have over 10,000 email subscribers with Aweber, that you can actually be charged an additional $9.99 per month? Yeah...and extra $9.99! You get the unlimited package for $19.99 a month, but the only thing that is not unlimited is the numbers of subscribers that you can manage. I had no idea about that.
Anyway, if you're trying to get a big list, I definitely invite you to do so. I encourage it. Having a huge audience is the most vital piece of having an internet marketing empire, and even I strive for it in my niches. It becomes the backbone of your business, and creates a lucritive income for all who take full advantage of it.
But occasionally, you need to do some cleanup to your mailing list. Even though people unsubscribe, they are still on your list...you just can't email them. Those dead leads are only taking up space. So every now and then, you need to go through your control panel on Aweber and delete all of the bounced, doubled and unsubscribed leads.
Bounced leads are leads whose emails addresses cannot be contacted because
- their email address got suspended for extended inactivity (usually with free email services)
- their email address no longer exists because the user closed it out (usually with paid email services)
- their email inbox is too full and has met its storage quota
These leads are just wasting your quota, so tell them to bounce! Doubled leads are leads that appear on more than one of your mailing lists. That means they could be on two or more lists, and it's just taking up precious spaces that you're paying for every month. So, delete duplicate email addresses ASAP! Unsubscribed leads are people who basically said, "I'm no longer interested...I'm out!", and then unsubscribed from your list. Hey, it happens to the best of us, and it happens to me everyday, as well as my other colleagues. But in the end, even though they don't want you to talk to them anymore, their email is STILL on your list, taking up valuable space. Delete it! Always play cleanup with your Aweber account, and you can save yourself $10 a month on your Aweber bill. Anywho, this is one sneaky little cost cutter that Aweber didn't want you to know. There are others...with the some that are way more valuable than this tip. Definitely a must read, especially for the $5.99 I have it for from this site.  Sneaky Cost Cutters Exposed!
Hey there readers!
Today, I actually just launched my latest site "Cheap PLR Profits" at:
http://www.cheapplrprofits.com
Now, 25 people have already gotten the 3-week training course, and already have the Master Resale Rights to this item.

Here's the chapters of the three ebooks in the package:* What are Private Label Rights?
* The Private Label Rights glossary...
* PLR in The Internet Marketing Industry
* Is Making Mo.ney With PLR Right for You?
* What Determines High Quality PLR Content

I'm really putting his $7 offer out there to help me build my list for when I launch my 100-page ebook "Internet Marketing Mastermind". That's all...but you can definitely take advantage of it. If you re familiar with $7 products, you already know the affiliate link or it. It's just like the rest of them. If not, let me know. Anyway, I gotta run. Hope you enjoy what I have to offer!

This is actually from the blog that I host myself:
http://tmharris.net/blog/2008/03/true-story-about-how-ebooks-saved-my-life-and-can-save-yours/
I just felt the need to share it with everyone who reads this blog of mine, too. Enjoy!
====================================================
Hey there readers!
I hope you were one of the hundreds who downloaded my ebook "30 Tips for Ebook Authors" that I started to give away yesterday by Jimmy D Brown. I hope it inspired you to at least get into the ebook game.
The reason why I want you to download this book so bad, is because people keep asking me about getting ONE thing right online. And honestly, if you have your own ebook, you can't go wrong at all.
So, what can you do with an ebook of your own? Check it out:
* Bribe people to sign up to your list
* Sell it and make some profit (and build a list of paying customers)
* Use it as a bonus for other people's product packages and launches
* Build credibility for yourself or your business
* Pre-sell another product that you're an affiliate for
Seriously, every internet marketer especially in the 'internet marketing' and/or network marketing niche uses ebooks to leverage themselves to either build their list, build their reputation, or just build a bigger bank account. Think ebooks won't work for the average Joe like you and me?
Hmmmm....OK time for a case study!
Look at my ebook Ebay Profit Loophole ...
Do you know how much it cost me to create that ebook? NOTHING
An ebook is nothing more than a document...preferrably converted to PDF.
By having that ebook, I was able to do a lot. Crazy enough, that simple 20-page report of mine has done everything I mentioned earlier...
* I use it to bribe people to sign up to my list. If someone orders from one of my affiliate links, and they weren't on my mailing list before, I use it to get them to sign up to my list afterwards.
* I sell it to make profit (of course! look at the website!) and it helps me build my mailing list (which of course YOU are on)
* I've used it as a bonus for two of my friend's product launches last year and pulled an extra 150 subscribers as a result
* It's definitely built my credibility as now I get more requests for consultations and other freelance services I provide...as well as now I get more people wanting me to promote their stuff. Now, I'm no longer the hunter, but the hunted (ooooo so macho sounding!)
* It presells another product or 2 that I truly recommend. If you didn't notice, read the book.
So, from one simple 20-page report, I was able to do so many things, and mind you...it wasn't that hard of an ordeal. Think I'm one heck of a writer? Well, on my SATs in high school, I got a 1250 on my SATs. Mind you, my verbal score was only 530...I really excelled in math, though.
So, according to the SATs (and my high school teachers) I'm horrible at English grammar and writing. I always suffered in my English classes, and almost took a remedial course in English in school...whereas, I was in Advanced Placement Calculus, yet my writing skills SUCKED! I believe I squeeked by high school with a D average in English, because I hated writing book reports and it definitely showed back then.
I even went on to Rutgers University here in the U.S. and did exceptional in my Calculus and marketing classes...but since there were freshman pre-requisites that required writing classes in my curriculum, that held me back, and eventually I had lost a scholarship over it, and ended up pulling myself out of school (since I couldn't afford it anymore).
So, all in all, you don't have to be a Ph.D or some Nobel prize writer to come up with an ebook that'll boost your business and skyrocket your profit.
Interesting fact, there have been over 1600 customers for Ebay Profit Loophole, which translates into over $16,000 in gross (noticed I said GROSS) sales for me, my affiliates and my partners. My cut of that was $4000, but honestly, I had it as a $7 product using that infamous script...so I wasn't collecting sales off it anyway. I only switched to clickbank because the script was giving my webhost problems. But in the end, since switching, it put an extra $4K in my pocket over a few months, as well as a list of people I can truly call FRIENDS.
Mind you, this all started from a simple 20-page report that I (the writing expert) wrote up one day. I wrote it while I was actually on the job, bored out of my mind. And the only reason I did it was everyone that I was talking to stressed to me the importance of having my own actual book to help me boost my own business.
Think you can't do it? Think again! You have all the tools you'll ever need to write up an ebook and convert it to a PDF.
You have a computer, right? (DUH!)
You have a word processor. Even old versions of Windows come with Wordpad, the oldest of the old.
If not, just remember that you can easily go to Google Documents and not only type up your book, but also convert it to PDF right there.
Seriously, it's not that hard my friend! It doesn't matter what niche you wanna enter, or how much money you have...you can do it.
Hey, if I could do it while working for Wal-Mart, living in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment in a neighborhood taken over by Bloods, crackheads and hookers, anyone can do it.
And I'm not lying about that either. Now I have a 4-BR apartment for me and my family, where I turned one room into my private office.
I used to live right across the street from a crackhouse ran by members of the Bloods gang. I saw crack cocaine sales right outside my window, and even noticed a crackhead sleeping right in front of my place once. I had my old car broken into, vandalized, kicked and dented by bad a$$ kids, and couldn't go to sleep 'til 3AM in the morning every night.
Not because of my internet marketing, but because of the fights over money and drugs, loud music and the heavy police activity with their loud blaring sirens and such all night long. And you have to throw in the EMTs too, since five people died on that same street that year. One was right in front of a elementary school during school hours, which really depressed the area.
Now, I don't live in that section anymore, as I live in a much better part of town with peaceful people, a bigger place where I've had no problems, and more comfort for me and the family.
Crazy enough, it all started changing once I wrote up that ebook, Ebay Profit Loophole. The sales that came in helped me out. The leads I acquired helped too. The boost for my business' reputation brought more customers, prospects and even new partners.
Seriously, if I had not have written ebooks, I'd still be trying to raise both my children out of a tiny cramped 1BR apartment in the middle of the ghetto. And probably, I would've been locked up for having to do the unthinkable again to make ends meet. Yes, I used to do my dirt back then, and I'm not proud of it. But I turned over a new leaf once I saw my oldest, my daughter, being brought into this world. That made me change up the game plan, so thank God for ebooks.
With all that being said, I want to introduce you to an ebook that I purchased and read last year that really helped me out when it came to writing my first ebooks. Now, the author is actually one of internet marketing's most elite, as SHE is a ghostwriter for many of the so-called 'gurus' that you've drained your bank account over. Yes, she was responsible for that, since he wrote their ebooks and even some of their sales letters.
Her name is Tiffany Dow, and her book is called "Building an Ebook Empire". All jokes aside, after I read this and released Ebay Profit Loophole (with success), I emailed her back and thanked her. Now, there's only a few people that I have personally emailed my thanks and regards to. She was one. When you teach me something that has a significant life-changing effect on you, I'm not only going to thank you, but I'm also going to tell the world about what you did for me.
Can it do something for you? Well, I know so. Look at my story above. It's 100% real...I can't make that stuff up, and who would want to? You know what type of situation you're in. You know you want it to change. You just think..."it's never going to happen to me". You think you're in such peril that it prevents you from doing what you know you have to do to make some coin online.
I was that person. You don't know how many times I've thrown my keyboard, mouse, cell phone in frustration. Trust me, I can show you the patches in the wall at my old place where my cell phone used to play tag with the wall. LOL I hated days when I logged into Clickbank to see a big phat ZERO. I dreaded days where my Paypal account would read $0.00.
And in all honesty, it didn't start working until I wrote up my first ebook and just sold it! I will admit that my first ebooks I used to sell on Ebay w/ a $20 featured listing. But even at that...ebay didn't charge me that $20 until the end of the auction. So for 7 days, I would be out there hitting people when they were outbidded on similar auctions, and get them to buy my ebooks for a cheaper price. That started building my list. I had a nice 30 people on my list from Ebay.
But in the end, the money, the notoriety, the success, it wouldn't have been possible without God (first and foremost), my own ebook...and Tiffany Dow's "Building an Ebook Empire". This was the book that I read that got me making my own ebooks to leverage my business.
So, I'm going to stop ranting and raving about my 'rags to riches' story, and simply show you the step-by-step guide that got me going with all of my online ventures...
Building an Ebook Empire
Don't sell yourself short. Anyone who has a right mind, and has something to say, teach or pass on can write an ebook and build an online business from nothing (like I did). So do me a favor and build your own ebook empire, will ya?

Hey readers! I had the opportunity to review a killer product recently by Rob Benwell. Me and Rob have been in communication lately, and crazy enough, I only heard of him when I purchased his "Blogging to the Bank 2.0". Good stuff...real good stuff. Check it out if you get a chance.
Anyway, Rob wanted me to review his guide "Niche Annihilation Method". See, the thing is I haven't heard from Rob in a while, and we used to talk a lot. Come to find out, he's been doing a lot of niche marketing, in the most profitable of niches on the internet. This had me thinking about really stepping it up in the other niches I promote in.
Well, I read Rob's guide last night in its entirety, and there was one thing about it that had me reading.
It's no fluff and to the point.
Usually, if I'm trying to learn something, I just want to be told HOW to do it, without all the useless banter and such. That's how I write my own stuff, so I was hooked from page 1. Seriously, there are a lot of guides about niche marketing, and to be honest, they are all really good. I'm not going to lie. But Rob's is more concise, and gets right to the point. He basically teaches you the exact same thing HE does. When he talks about the websites he uses to promote his niche sites and products, he blew my mind. Seriously, half of the sites I had never heard of before reading it.
Me, I usually know where all the good sites are on the internet to use for promotion and services. I'm Mr. Cheapskate, remember? :)
But he gave me some news ones that I tried out last night, and it's already been bringing me traffic to my niche sites. As far as sales, there's no sales. My niche sites are for building mailing lists. If the articles generate sales, then cool. Otherwise, I'm trying to build my lists.
But seriously, Rob has outdone himself on this one. The last part of the book, he literally gives you a step-by-step action plan towards creating your own niche site, and bringing in the business right away. Rob uses the same exact action plan when he creates his own niche sites...so it's definitely something I'll be following from now on.
Anyway, definitely pick up a copy of Niche Annihilation Method by Rob Benwell. For the price tag that it's at, it's a steal, especially for some million dollar information.
