PLR Pro - Project Green Button
I also built 2 other sites, one about Diamonds, and another about Magic. They took a little longer, but only because I was learning PGB as I went, sort of fumbling around. But hey, if I can do this, so can you. PLR Pro is THE BEST PLR membership on the net, and their Project Green Button only makes it better.
If you are interesed in evaluating PLR Pro for yourself, click here >>>> PLR Pro <<<<<. And pay attention to their Project Green Button. If it ain't the slickest thing you've seen lately, then I don't know what is.
The Worlds #1 PLR Content Membership

Now that your eyes have glazed over, you are probably wondering what PLR is all about. Well, if you've stuck it out and read this far, I've got a free e_book for you that explains all about PLR, which actually stands for Private Label Resale. Get your free ebook by clicking HERE.
Using PLR's is a great way to earn some extra income, while letting someone else do all the work. They write the book, you sell it. What could be better. So check out this PLR process by downloading this free e-book, the PLR Process.

FOCUS is the Name of the Game
"James, one of the hardest things for IM beginners to do is focus. It’s like a candy store out there when you first get started, and we’re always rushing off to try the newest thing without completing and following through on the last thing. So a “How to Focus” and get things done, one step at a time, I think would be useful for beginners. And me."
Well, he had a very succinct and worthy answer, and I'd like to share it you right here:
http://www.instantmlmsqueezepages.com/blog/why-many-newbies-fail/
But it's hard to focus when you keep procrastinating. To that end, read my previous post:
http://shagmiser.blogspot.com/2009/01/lets-start-2009-off-right.html
Now that you're thoroughly cross-eyed with all that reading, go pop a cold one, and we'll see you all next time. And pop one for me!

Let's start 2009 off right
I seemed to get up in the morning with lots of good intentions. I had a mental list of the things I wanted to get done. I had an image in my mind of the jobs and tasks that I really needed to take action on. But then other things would pop up, things that would take on an importance way beyond what they should have.
I would think, let's check email, then that would lead me off into all sorts of other directions. For every step forward, I was taking 10 back. That's getting something done? Suddenly the day was gone, nothing accomplished, and I'd say, "Well, there's always tomorrow." But then tomorrow's cycle of procrastination would start all over again.
If you’ve nodded your head even once while you've read this, then you are exactly like me. You procrastinate. And unless you stop, you are doomed to stay on the merry-go-round of underachievement forever.
However, I’ve found a program that really helps. I mean really helps.
It is called ‘Habit Busting’ and it can help you tame your procrastination habit in 21 days or less.
I’ve bought it and can vouch for the fact that it is packed with useful advice that will really work. I can’t wait to finish it and put it’s wisdom into practice - this is something I WILL NOT put off!
When you consider how much even being 25% more effective would beworth to you (and I think Habit Busting may well help me to amuch bigger improvement than that) then the very low cost becomes insignificant.
If ever there was a time when investing in yourself was vital toyour financial future this is it, and this is a very smallinvestment for a very big future.
Click here for more information about Habit Busting now!
BTW - this is one of the programs that was on Martin Avis's top 10 list for 2008. That in itself should convince you that this is a program well worth investigating. Or, you can put it off till tomorrow.l
Chow for Now - TTFN, and Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, where ever you are.

Tips for IM in 2009
"Tip # 1 You Must Have the Right Mindset
You must have the right mindset. Without this - forget
it!
Sure, you want to succeed but maybe you think it's
easy (which it isn't always). Maybe you think you are "different." Or maybe you think it will just
happen for you.
It's none of those. But if you have the right attitude,
I guarantee it will happen for you.
You will already know if you have the right mindset.
Are you teachable? Or are you a know-it-all?
Are you a good listener? Or do you think you're beyond
all of that?
Are you open-minded? But not gullible.
In the New Year I will introduce you to a program that
will help you get the most out of what you have.
Sorry, I can't give you too many specifics right now,
but I promise to keep you informed.
You'd better have got plenty new socks for Christmas
because this program will blow most of the others off.
Tip # 2 Set Your Goals
I know this sounds "old-hat" but, if written correctly,
goal setting does work.
There is a phenomenon known as "visualization." Which
has been scientifically proven to work. How? Why? I
don't know, but it works. Maybe something to do with
quantum physics - a subject I know naff-all about.
But for your goals to work they must be worded correctly.
And the correct wording has to be in present tense.
Each of your goals should begin with the word "I."
That way, the visualization process is so much easier.
And the more detail in there, the better. Here's an
example:
"I own a silver XJ aluminium Jaguar. It has dove grey interior, burr walnut dash, automatic transmission,
cruise control, reverse control, and air conditioning."
Of course, you may not yet own whatever it is, but the
idea of writing your goal as if it has already happened,
is very powerful .
And the visualization of you goal, for example if it's
a car, can be looking onto to your drive and picturing
your goal sitting there.
Finally, at least one of your goals should be about you.
How much you believe in yourself and your confidence.
For a detailed explanation of visualization and goal
setting, you owe it to yourself to visit:
http://www.success-engineering.net/
Tip # 3 Study the Classics
Read something every day.
It has been said that if you read for one hour every day
on a choice subject, then after one year you will be an
expert in that field.
Just imagine what you could accomplish if you read for
2-3 hours a day!
If you want to succeed in marketing to your niche whether
it be online or offline (or both), then you need to study
the classics.
By "classics" I don't mean Shakespeare or Mark Twain
(although these are a good read). I mean marketing
classics and other notables.
I list below a selection (there are many others) that I consider to be required reading:
Scientific Advertising Claude Hopkins
My Life in Advertising Claude Hopkins
Tested Advertising Methods John Caples
My First 60 Years in Advertising Maxwell Sackheim
Tested Sentences That Sell Elmer Wheeler
The Robert Collier Letter Book Robert Collier
Ogilvy on Advertising David Ogilvy
Psychological Triggers Joe Sugarman
Influence, the Psychology Robert Cialdini
Of Persuasion
Breakthrough Advertising Eugene Schwartz
Psycho Cybernetics Dr. Maltz
Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill
Don't just read them. Study them.
Here's what David Ogilvy had to say about Scientific Advertising:
"Nobody should have anything to do with advertising
until they have read Scientific Advertising at least
6 times."
The fact is, each time you read these classics another
gem pops out.
And it's no coincidence that all of today's top marketers
have read these classics over and over again. That's
where they go to get their ideas.
Get hooked on Classics!
My free chronological study of advertising can be found
at:
http://www.lostsecretsofmarketinglegends.com/
And in the New Year I will be introducing you to a new
program that will add to the above list. Hint: it's a
program about the man who inspired ALL of the above
authors - and many others besides.
Tip # 4 Listen to Tapes/CDs
I do about 25,000 miles in my car each year. I find it extremely boring.
But, I can honestly say that, with few exceptions, I
turn off the radio and plug in some audio CD. This may
be some kind of self-improvement kind of CD or something specific to do with marketing or Internet related.
Whatever.
But what it does for me is that I get a "College Education"
as I'm driving along.
I consider time spent in the car "dead time" and all
of our time is so precious. Once it's gone, you can't
get it back. It's gone forever.
So put it to good use.
I have a library of CDs (and tapes) which I continually
listen to. I could never have too many.
I've even created my own audio products for some of
my projects.
You're wasting your valuable time if you don't use
audio as a medium for your continuing education.
A good source of CDs (and tapes) is Nightingale Conant
and there are always special offers being made on the
Internet from time to time.
Choose what's right for you and learn.
Tip # 5 What do You Want to Do?
You need to make your mind up what exactly it is
that you want to do.
Do you want to market on-line or off-line? Or a
combination of both?
Do you want to sell information products or physical
products? Or a combination of both?
It's your choice.
There's enough niche topics and enough potential
customers out there to satisfy all of us.
The Internet is a medium for finding information. So
it makes sense to provide information products.
If you want to learn how to create your own information products, go to:
http://www.milliondollarpublisher.com/
Producing information products is probably the best
way to start and then maybe move on to selling physical products at a later date.
But whether you choose to sell digital products or
physical products you will still need a means of marketing.
Having a web presence will be essential. And whether
you do decide to market online or offline you will need
a persuasive "direct response" sales letter. This is called "sales copy."
Tip # 6 Learn How to Write Good Copy
To have any chance at all at selling any of your
products you will need to learn how to write good,
persuasive sales copy.
But to write your own copy will take time. Rome was
not built in a day.
A whole new industry has spawned called "copywriting."
Because it has become clear that good copy sells.
Period.
Most people, try to skip this part. For some unknown
reason they think it's not important . Maybe they're
too eager to get the rest of their sales process
finished and "out there."
Big mistake.
It is a monumental mistake to gloss over your sales
copy.
Whether you are marketing online or offline. You
simply must have good sales copy.
You may have the best product in the world. You may
get thousands of visitors to your site. But if your
copy sucks - you won't sell many of your products.
You have 2 choices. You either pay someone to write
the copy for you or you learn how to write your own.
The former can be cost prohibitive as good copywriters
charge anything from $15K upwards for a single piece
of copy.
It makes sense for you to learn how to write your own
copy.
! In fact it's a necessity !
You will simply not get very far without it.
It will not happen overnight. It's something that
will come with practice.
Maybe you'll never become a top copywriter but you
must become an accomplished copywriter.
And the best way to learn is to read the classics and
to study the copywriting of successful marketers.
Guys like Yanik Silver, Ted Nicholas, and Matt Furey.
Tip # 7 Apprentice Yourself or Get Yourself a Coach.
If you know what you want to do but don't quite know
how to achieve it - apprenticing yourself to a mentor
could well be your jump start to success.
This need not cost you a fortune.
There may be just one aspect that you require help with.
For example, copywriting, or building a website, or
setting up a shopping cart. Or maybe you require help
with all of it.
There will be someone available to help you with
whatever it is you're stuck with. Look online. Search
in your local Yellow Pages. Go to your local technical
college and sign up for a short course on how to use Dreamweaver (or FrontPage) if building web pages is
your weakness.
An alternative is to listen in to our teleseminars
and webinars.
Next year I plan on hosting a lot more of these. I'll
keep you posted.
Tip # 8 Time Management
This sounds as if it's obvious, almost irrelevant.
But I can assure you that it's so important. And I'm
the first to admit that I do not employ my time to
the fullest (although I am improving).
Time is that precious commodity that we all take
for granted.
It's the one common denominator we all have. Rich
or poor. When time passes we cannot get it back.
It's gone.
That's why you need to plan each day. Maximise the
time that you have.
There are many books on the subject to help you
manage your time better. I've read several but one
I have read, really impressed me. It's by Dan Kennedy.
It's called No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs
and is available from Amazon.
I aim to improve my time management in 2009 by at
least 100%.
Tip # 9 Keep in Good Health
All the previous 8 tips are useless to you if you
don't keep yourself in fine fettle.
You need to eat well and exercise regularly (says I
who eats really well and exercises not as much as I
should)
A healthy body helps you to be successful. You feel
less lethargic. You have more energy. And you tend
to focus better.
If you are overweight (like me) do something about
it in 2009. I do something every day, like walking.
My goal for 2009 is to lose a modest 3 pounds a month.
Even I can do that!
Tip # 10 Do One Pro-active Thing per Day
The way to true success is to focus. Focus on your
project in hand.
Be persistent and be consistent.
It is far, far better to do a little every day than
it is to do a lot every two weeks or so.
It doesn't matter what you do, however little, but
make it a habit to do something every single day.
It may only be one hour of reading or watching a DVD
or researching a project. But it's a great habit to
get into.
Make it your habit as well.
After one or two months you'll be amazed at the
progress you've made.
It's important not to "skip" a day and reckon on
making it up later. You won't. When that day's gone,
it's gone.
The only person you'll be kidding is yourself.
But if you've got what it takes from tip # 1, this
will just come naturally to you.
If you've been a member of my Million Dollar Publisher
program then you should already know all about being
pro-active - that is, if you've been completing the
assignments each week.
If you are not a member then schlep on over to:
http://www.milliondollarpublisher.com/
This program is designed to drip feed information to
you in bite-sized chunks. So that you can do something
every day and monitor your progress.
I sincerely hope that you take at least some of tips
above onboard - if not ALL of them.
Do that and watch your progress improve throughout
2009.
And it goes without saying - but I'll say it anyway -
may I wish you all that I wish myself for 2009.

My Thoughts on How to Beat the Recession
Then, as I was thinking about all this, it occurred to me, internet marketing and the ability to make money using the internet is pretty much recession proof. And if you haven’t yet noticed, we’re in a recession. So everyday folks like you and me are going to be looking for some relief, looking for a way to earn those extra bucks that will keep us afloat. And not just one time, but on a recurring basis. We need ourselves a system.
So I started researching this whole area and came across an amazing course, the Recession Rescue System. It was developed by 3 of the top marketers in the biz today, and they built it specifically for those of us who want to learn how to build a recession proof residual income system. It’s not cheap; I’ll tell you that right up front. But quality never is, and these guys reek of quality, knowledge, expertise, and the ability to pass that information on to you.
This course is your chance to figuratively sit down with 3 of the sharpest minds in Internet Marketing today, and learn their methods and systems. And who knows, you might just end up beating this recession after all.
I’ll let them tell you all about it !!!
Visit the Recession Rescue System.
PS - If nothing else, read the pitch page. It's pretty impressive, as are the guys behind this whole thing.

Two New Christmas Strategies
The first involves the Kindle Reader Amazon has just released and is selling this year. The idea involves uploading your own information products directly to the Kindle directory, then people with the Kindle Reader buying and downloading your product to their Kindle. Although this seems like a niche market, it could be big. Rebbecca Cooper has come up with a way to sell your Private Label Rights and Public Domain eBooks without
- Traffic
- A Website
- An autoresponder to deliver the ebooks
- A way to deal with customer service, refunds, etc.
- And all of the time, money, and effort it takes to do that!
You see, the Kindle is an electronic ebook reader sold by Amazon. It is the size of a small paperback book, but lighter. It stores hundreds of ebooks that are all downloaded from Amazon's Kindle Store to the Kindle reader. So what we need to do is get our own eBooks uploaded to the Kindle Store. And Rebbecca shows us how to do just that with her new eBook, Kindle Profits Exposed Course.
The second strategy comes out of the UK, and the guy that put it together made over $100K last Christmas using these strategies. It combines the use of affiliate sales, mini sites and real world products to form a killer strategy. In fact, it's called "Info Product Killer"and it uses an organic SEO strategy not really used in North America. AND, it promises to put some serious Christmas earnings in your pocket if implemented correctly. He uses Amazon.Com as one of the real world product providers. Be sure and watch the videos - they explain everything really well.
Now here's a kicker. What if someone bought a Kindle Reader through one of your mini site affiliate links, then bought and downloaded your eBook to that very same Kindle. Now that's too cool.
Here they are again:
The Kindle Profits Exposed Course, and;
The Info Product Killer Course.
More new ideas coming soon, so stay tuned:

It's Back to School
The first is Peter Woodhead's new email course, just released, that will take you step by step into the world of Internet publishing. It's called Million Dollar Publishing. It's detailed, it's comprehensive, lasts 52 weeks, has tons of extras, and is absolutely one of the best deals I have seen in quite awhile. Check it Out.
The second, by Tony Shepherd and Sara Brown, is also a 52 week email course, just released, and is being limited to 500 participants. It's called the Internet Marketing Kickstart Course and it's the same price as Peter's ($27 / month), and will probably offer just about the same type of instruction I should imagine. I'll be taking both, and posting my preference on my Shagmiser Blog. You can check out Tony and Sara's course HERE. BTW, both courses have generous cancellation policies, and the Kickstart course says they can have you up and running in 5 - 6- weeks, well in advance of their cancellation date.
As I said, I'll be taking both courses, and posting my findings and reviews here, in this blog, so stay tuned. In fact, you might want to set an RSS or Follow this Blog to know when I next post about these courses. Actually, what you should do is take one or the other and post your own finding as comments to this blog, or in the Warrior Forum, or someplace (your own blog, maybe?).
I really like the weekly pace both these courses offer, and the promise of getting something done correctly. So keep up with me here, it's gonna be a bumpy, fun ride.

Two New Programs to Really Investigate
To that end, I have finally decided to jump into to 2 programs I think will help me build some passive, residual income over the long haul.
The first is a membership website for Internet Marketers, by Internet Marketers. It's called Reality-Networkers, and it really is worthwhile checking out. Why, because the offer a bunch of money making programs referred by other members, programs that work. Plus, the site itself is a forced matrix, which offers spill over. And your up line can place members into your down line, helping you to grow. It's a win-win. You need to take a real close look at Reality-Networkers, and follow my lead. As of the start of this month, they are over 2,000,000 members, and growing.
The second is a little off the beaten path for Network Marketers in that it's an auto responder. It's called Traffic Wave, and it is one of the best around. The bells and whistles offered by Traffic Wave are comprehensive, and, once a fully paid member, offers a shot at passive, residual income. Grow your down line, and you grow your monthly residual income. Anyone in Internet Marketing knows you need an auto responder to 1) capture your opt-in leads, and 2) market to those leads. If you're going to be in Internet Marketing, then you need an auto responder, no if, ands or buts, period. And Traffic wave is by far one of the best around, AND, it helps you make an additional monthly income.
OK - OK - OK - now I feel like Joe Pesci (?). One more program, and it's totally free, and you might could maybe win a Corvette from Russell Brunson if you take his challange. Russell is offering a $100 Million Challange. Here's the bit: http://contest.dotcomsecrets.com/shagmiser
Best part? The training doesn't cost a cent! Yet you'll get plenty of wealth-building information you can use to pay off credit card bills, pay off your car, or even quit your job! I am going to take him up on this, so I'll see you in the classroom. And promote this thing, save a child.
OK - enough said for now. You need to investigate these 2 programs I've just recommended. If you agree, or disagree, leave me a comment.

Martin's Power Thought, Harvey's Ultimate Supertips Book
"There is a Buddhist mental trick that can often come to the rescue in times when you are lost for an answer.
"When a problem is in front of you and your mind is refusing to come up with a solution, try this:
"Close your eyes, calm your thoughts and count yourself backwards from 5 to 1. As you count, imagine yourself entering a deep, dark, quiet place where all your memories are stored.
"Bring you problem into focus and tell yourself that you know the answer, you just have to remember it.
"Speak inside your mind to that subconscious place and tell it that the answer is buried in your memories and that it should drop everything else and go off to find it.
"That's all you do.
"Now count yourself back to the present, put your problem to one side and get on with other things.
"Your mind will now work on the assumption that you DO know the answer rather than panic that you don't.
"In time, at an unexpected moment, a solution will pop into your head. And when it does, take note. It is almost certain to be right.
#~#~#
I have talked about this one before, but it is worth repeating because:
1.) It's free
2.) Requires no opt-in
3.) Can go viral if you let it
4.) It's packed with all sorts of useful information about viral marketing, and
5.) is free and requires no opt-in (oops, I said that already).
6.) Has a neat Splash Page with my picture on it? (Whoopee!)
Here Goes: The Ultimate Supertips Book
#~#~#
OK - OK - OK - I'm still casting about out there for a really good Internet based course on (what else?) making money on the Internet. My Internet Martin Avis has suggested Michael Green's new course called The Money Tree.
And, a few other people have started to promote his new course that is supposed to teach us how to make money from the Internet anytime you want to. This course, 'The Money Tree,' is subtitled, 'How to make $30,000 in 30 days ... guaranteed!'
The original Avis review, and a link to a lot more information on what the course contains, is here: http://www.moneytreereview.com/. I am not promoting this, just reporting on what I am checking out. I'll let you know if I decide to take him up on the offer ....... stay tuned.
#~#~#
In the meantime, I am still putting the final pieces on my Traffic Exchange project. That's also a ..... stayed tuned for more ..... project. Read the previous post to learn more. ALSO, subscribe to this blog using one of the links to the right, where is says subscribe to the blog.

Web 2.0, updated IRS, MLM Squeeze Pages
Here are some posts worth your while. They are great examples of what James Grandstaff has created, and they are a new way of marketing. We're giving away free stuff, no strings. and it's good stuff, too: Here are the links:
How to get rich building a lazy downline
The Guru's secret weapon to MLM riches
7 secrets to building a productive downline
How to get rich from ANY MLM Program
Feel free to download any or all 4. They are your for the taking. Now, if you'd like to learn how we did this, check out: Instant MLM Squeeze Pages.
Lately I have been going back through my Internet Retirement System website, weeding out old programs, adding some new stuff, etc. I'd like to revamp the entire thing, but before I do that, I want to finish John Reese's Traffic Secrets 2 course before it gets awy from me. Plus, I need to review Holly Cutter's recent course, see if there's something I missed. If anyone out there reading this is interested in either of these courses, let me know and I'll send you more info.
Tim Brocklehurst has a new guru class starting, so check one of my previous posts for more information. I'd post it again here, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
Enough for now - I've got to go "mow 'de lawn," or as the say in France, "coup 'de graux." (sic!)

Does The Freedom Class Work?
You see, I just recently came across this "Freedom Class," a laptop seminar with Tim Brocklehurst. Actually, I heard about it from Martin Avis, and if you've followed me at all, then you know who he is.
He claims that with just 2 days, he can set you up with your own Internet Business set to earn over $66,000 in eight months - and over $100,000 in a year.
The theory is based around the phenomenon of exponential growth, and there are numerous examples of people who have experienced it using effective viral marketing on The Internet.
Viral marketing, it seems, is key to the success of any Internet business. none of the big names online currently would be anything like as successful but for it.
So now, it seems, the whole world is trying to create viral effects to grow their businesses with. Some are succeeding, but many more fail.
So what is it about The Freedom Class, and Tim Brocklehurst, that makes me think there could be something in learning about it this way?
Well, for one thing, the method of learning is intriguing. Tim is using something called "Action Learning" to conduct these classes. Action Learning is a way of learning something by 'doing' it.
On these classes, the participants will bring their own laptops and go through the process of uploading products for sale and giving them an affiliate back-end so that others can sell them too.
Then, they will be giving them a viral boost on the front-end using Tim's own tried and tested viral software, MVS.
His users have had spectacular results with this membership site software. It brings together a wide array of tried and tested viral seeds, triggers and motivators to reach further and get more sign-ups than a normal site could on its own.
Another factor which is sure to help the success of participants, is the mastermind group formation.
Tim is issuing questionnaires to all participants from which a chart of their natural strengths and weaknesses can be drawn. He has identified 5 key skills which everyone possesses with varying degrees, but which are important for Internet Marketing success.
By partnering up with others on the course who have complementary skills, it seems reasonable to expect that useful teams will be made, which can work effectively and achieve more individually than they could on their own.
Overall, I like the sound of this course. For one thing, its good to see a recognized marketer getting out and showing us, rather than hiding behind the Internet. On the other hand, if you prefer to learn at home, then look out for The Freedom Class Home Action Pack once you have registered at the site.

Membership Site in a Box
One of the biggest problems with running a membership site is content. You have to continuously come up with new and fresh content for your members, or else you'll lose them. And that takes a lot of work. You might as well have a job.
Well, Terry and Edwin have solved that problem for you. They've come up with a Private Label Rights Membership Website that does all the content update for you, plus provides you with:
- a high-converting membership site
- the software to run it
- the option to make any changes to that site, adding our own personalisation
- the flexibility to sell the products at different price points

- and all the content
They are offering you the chance to Private Label and Clone a new membership website that spits out profits for you on auto-pilot. 24/7. But they are only offering this to the first 350 people who apply. I am not sure how many spots have already been spoken for, but I'm pretty sure there are openings available. If not, cie la vie.
Instead of me going on about it, see how many slots yourself:

Huh? 31.95% DON'T know what a "Squeeze Page" is?
If you've been around the IM (internet marketing) scene for awhile, you've most likely heard the term "squeeze page" before, right?
At least that's what I thought.
Well, James surveyed approx. 500 people on his list who are interested in making money online. Many stated they were interested in affiliate marketing, product creation, MLM, etc...
One of the questions was "Do you know what a"Squeeze Page" is?"
68.05% answered yes and 31.95% answered NO.
To be honest...
I was shocked that 31.95% said no.
What about you?
In light of this shocking survey data I decided to write this post today to go over the very basics of what a squeeze page is and why you should be using them in your business (if you are not already.)
And for those of you who already use them, pay attention. You will probably learn something too.
Here goes...
A squeeze page which is also known as a "lead capture page" or "name squeeze page" is a simple web page with one purpose; to get your visitor to give you their name and email address so you can follow-up with them. That's it.
One of the best ways to get someone to opt-in to your squeeze page is by offering something of high perceived value such as a mini ecourse or a highly targeted eBook.
For example, let's say you are promoting a multi-level marketing business opportunity. The products are great and you are a raving fan.
Most people would just start promoting the websitethe company supplies. I say no. This is a perfect opportunity to implement the use of a squeeze page and offer something of value first.
That way, you collect the leads, you follow-up with an introduction of yourself and begin building a long lasting business relationship.
In sales, what we are really selling is "us" first, then the product.
You always want to provide value first. Once your prospects warm up to you, then it's time to ask the right questions to determine if your product or business opportunity can help solve their needs.
If you'd like to see a high quality, high converting squeeze page that James has put together, you can visit the link below.
It's important to read the "thank you" page on theother side you can get an idea of how the wholeprocess works.

Shades of the Da Vinci Code
But I think it might be worthwhile laughing at - The Social Media Marketing System.
BTW – I say in the video I’m a Bronze member but by doing that video Brian upgraded me to Silver. I can be bribed. Anyway, if you want a good laugh, go see me in my professional debut as a video testimonial person.
You’ll have to scroll down a bit – but I’m down there somewhere. And why is my screen size is smaller that everyone else’s? No clue – that must be a YouTube thing.
The Social Media Marketing System
Now, what's all this about the Da Vinci Code? Well, Brian has just announced a secret alliance he's just started as part of SMMS, and my Facebook friend and mentor Ian Campbell does the best job of explaining the whole thing. Here's Ian's Link: http://tinyurl.com/3sbtsp
His is an affiliate link, but that's OK, so long as you get the message.
John Reese is almost Ready
John just announced a mid July date for the release of Traffics Secret 2 - which has been highly anticipated. If you want to follow more closely, follow on John's Twitter account. He's uses that almost exclusively to keep the rest of us up to date. Or his latest blog at:
http://www.income.com/blog/2008/06/29/traffic-secrets-20-launch-date/
FaceBook and other Meanderings
Well, I seem to be spending a lot of time on Facebook lately. Since that video I mentioned came out, I've been getting a lot of friends requests, and group invites. It's really great to "talk" to other people from around the globe about their take on internet marketing, Web 2.0 tactics, and just learning from others in general. If you're not yet on Facebook, jump in, the waters fine. Become my friend, and we'll chat. Also, no matter what you niche or finely tuned interest, there's a group out there tailored just for you.
Go directly to my profile, and join in: http://profile.to/dickhale/
That's it for today - just some random thoughts. TTFN - Dick

Three Learning and Teaching Resources
The first is one of my favorite mentors, Martin Avis. He has built a series of teachings starting you from the ground up ..... called the "Foolproof, No-Nonsense, Kickstart Guide to Making Money Online."
The second is Eric Holmlund, one of the most astute IM guys around. And he is just getting started with his projected 120 video series about marketing online. You can get started at Eric's Tips, but you will have to register, even though it is free.
Last, but certainly not least, is Mike Filsaime whose credentials in IM speak for themselves. His offer, mostly free, is in my blog entry right below this one. Just scroll on down to get the whole story.
There are more guys out there offering a lot of excellent training courses right now, some free, some not so fre, but these 3 resources are my choices. And I wanted to share them with you.

Filsaime Releases The 7 Figure Secrets And Gives it Away Free!
Hello,
Before we get into the meat of this message, there are 3 things I want to cover. First, when you read the sales page, Mike states that the products are free. They are, but the shipping is not. He is asking about $8.95 for S&H which I think is entirely reasonable considering all that you are getting. Also, when you get to the order page, you have to sign up for a free 30 trial of his subscription magazine, after which your CC will be charged $29.95 / month unless you cancel before that, and even though there is a check box there, you cannot unclick it. This is a concept called forced continuity. However, it is easily cancelled. Even on the same day you register to receive Mike's offered products. All you have to do is call the number posted in the order form (631) 615-4597. Really simple, and Mike's copy is really up front about everything. Thirdly, there are a lot of OTO's you have to wade through to get to your free downloads. Look at each one because in some cases there are good deals.
OK - now here is the deal...
Back in February of 2007, Mike Filsaime held a secret Private Workshop at an undisclosed location.
Over 100 people paid $5000 for the Workshop.
He then took those DVD's (Which now sell for $1297) and sold it out in record fashion in under 7 days to 2500 people. Since then... over 3000 people have paid for that information.
The success stories that followed have changed the face of Internet Marketing.
(Filsaime, along with his 37 Staff Members, will do $10,000,000 this year in sales and is credited with showing other marketers how to grow a 7 figure Business.)
BIG DEAL!
Big Deal?
Recently, Mike hired a "TOP GUN" Internet Marketing Expert and Copywriter (That also attended the event.)
Mike Paid this "TOP GUN" $25,000 to watch all 16 DVD's of "The 7 Figure Code" and condense it into a Masterpiece...
THE RESULT...
An 85 Page report, no fluff, with all of the Gold nuggets, Pearls of Wisdom, and action plans for you to get in a 1 hours' read.
That's right, what 100 people paid $5000 for, and had to sit through 3 days, you will get all of the information crammed into 1 report that you can read in 1 sitting.
=============================================
NOW HERE IS THE INSANE PART - IT's FREE
=============================================
That is right, Mike Filsaime was going to sell it for $297.00 and was planning on selling 3000 copies in 7 days.
They are already printed, spiral bound, and sitting at the warehouse ready to ship.
But Mike has decided to ship it to you for...
*** Free *** (Only While supplies Last.)
All Mike Asks is that you pay the shipping (about $8 or so)
That is it. You do NOT have to buy it. You simply tell him where to ship it and he will send it to you for... nothing, zip, nada!
But... IT GET'S EVEN BETTER...
>>> Mike was going to upsell the 18 Full Color Process Maps. ($197 Value)
Mike hired the best Internet Marketing experts on Process Mapping, Rich Schefrens' Strategic Profits, to produce these process maps based on each DVD... 18 in all.
Mike has decided to move the FREELINE even further and give you access to these for Free too (also VERY limited time)
And to prove that Mike has lost his mind (and has clearly landed on the North Pole of Mars,) he is also giving you is best selling "The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript 2.0" ($97 Value) for Free as well!
So here is a RECAP of what you get Free
- The 7 Figure Secrets Printed and Shipped to you Door
- The 18 Full Color Process Maps- The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript Version 2.0
It just went live for a Limited Time and ONLY while supplies last...
So, if you want to be (one of) THE FIRST TO GET your hands on The 7 Figure Secrets, go NOW to:
dickhale.com/recommends/7figurecodepromo.html
To your success,
Dick
