Email Promos Exposed Video Training Reviewed

Email Promos Exposed Reviewed

Have you ever been faced with the task of having to write an email promotion to your list, and then realized that you didn't know what to say or how to say it?

Michael's new video course "Email Promos Exposed" promises to solve that problem for you by walking you through the actual process of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

*************************************************

*************************************************

I decided to see if Michael's videos live up to their promise by trying them out for myself.

Here's what I found:

*************************************************
Overall Quality
*************************************************

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the first video was the stunning production quality. He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which is now the industry standard for creating high-quality screen capture video products. Theaudio is near studio quality, and the graphics are very professional. These videos were made by someone who KNOWS what he's doing. Well done!

I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by section, and then again by sub-section. For example, one video is all about the subject line, and then there are different parts of that video that each cover a certain area of crafting a killer subject line.

Now let's move onto...

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single thing here, but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

*************************************************
If you're in a hurry, just go ahead visit this URL to get instant free access to these videos:

http://www.i-addwealth.com/go/emailpromos
*************************************************

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the whole course. You get to see a picture of Michael in his every day life, and he establishes his credibility right up front by talking about some of his massive successes online. He even provides proof of credibility by displaying two checks in the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove that, when it comes to the subject of making money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever you're teaching people how to do something, it's good to establish your credibility up front, so that there's no doubt about whether or not you're qualified to talk about the subject. Most product developers either skip or minimize this step.

VIDEO 2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other marketer has bothered to mention.

You'll learn things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer promo

* The different tools you need before you get started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of kicking things off.

VIDEO 3 - THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing email promos... the subject line. The subject line is a confusing topic, because nobody's 100% sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this video, but now I know better.

VIDEO 4 - THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when writing their emails. Michael talks about how important it is to create an opening that is conversational, and then reveals techniques and examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email once they've opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few paragraphs.

VIDEO 5 - THE BODY COPY

This is one of the "meatiest" portions of the course, because it reveals techniques that are not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in most eBooks. He talks about the importance of keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and then reveals how you can do that.

You'll also learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people curious and want to find out more.


* Simple formatting tricks for making your body copy easy to read.

* The secret of "bucket brigade copy" and how to use it in your email promos to force people to keep reading.

VIDEO 6 - THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their email promos. They start out strong, but when it comes time to ask the reader to click the link and take action, they don't know what to say. Michael talks about some of his favorite techniques for making that happen, and also reveals:

* The "magic question" to ask yourself that will make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the "unanswered question" and why handling this is a surefire way to get people to act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most important parts of the email, because it is often the one thing that gets people to click the link at the end.

In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.'s you can use (this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some mistakes that I was making that I wasn't even aware of. Unless you're a seasoned pro, you're probably guilty of some of the things that Michael talks about in this video as well, and that's why it's so valuable. I've shaved years off my learning curve, because now I can avoid some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to make in the learning process.

VIDEO 9 - HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of money. Why? Because I used to only send out one email promo for each affiliate promotion I was doing. Michael showed me in this video how important it is to send a follow-up promotion, and he showed me exactly how to do it.

He covered things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo's.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make the most money.

* How to overcome readers' objections in your follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

VIDEO 10 - HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL money is on the back end. I'd have to agree with them, but the problem is... most people have no idea how to set up a back end system that makes money. This video will teach you how to set up an automated back end that's loaded with killer promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.

He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back end email promos.

VIDEO 11 - CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the entire package for a lot of people, because most people email their list to promote other people's products as an affiliate. Let's face it, if you only have 3 products, can you really afford to only email your list 3 times a year? They'll get bored hearing about the same old products over and over again. This video sheds some light on how to create killer affiliate promos.

Michael reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different than regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret could cost you big money).

* Michael's favorite tactics for creating affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your affiliate promos (this is the most important section of the video, so make sure you watch it over and over again).

*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there offer only watered down, weak content. Not this one! These videos are going on my "A-list" for a long time.

I've already watched them twice, and plan on reviewing them every couple months to make sure that I have the principals, techniques and tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your business (and in my opinion, it's the most important part of ANY online business), then you owe it to yourself to check out Michael's exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

What are the Advantages Of Using Voice over IP

This is an important valuable service that you really want to understand and know how it will work for you.

Voice over IP technology uses the Internet’s packet-switching capabilities to provide phone service. It’s valued for cheap prices and cost effectiveness. It offers many of the same calling features as regular landline services at typically no extra cost. VoIP allows users the freedom to use their high-speed Internet connection to integrate their phone, audio, video, and web browsing capabilities into one application. Because of these new trends, VoIP providers are adding new products and services daily.

Packet switching allows several telephone calls to occupy the amount of space occupied by only one in a circuit-switched network. Using the circuit-switched network a 10-minute phone call would consume 10 full minutes of transmission time at a cost of 128 Kbps.

With Voice over IP a 10-minute call may have occupied only 3.5 minutes of transmission time at a cost of 64 Kbps. That leaves another 64 Kbps free for that 3.5 minutes time period plus an additional 128 Kbps for the remaining 6.5 minutes.

Another three or four calls could easily fit into the space used by a single call under the conventional system. This example doesn’t even factor in the use of data compression which further reduces the size of each call.

There is a great lens that this topic in depth of how it works and why now.

Do visit it and participate in the poll.

Performance Lifestyle - healthy energetic high achieving living

What area of our life can we change that will make the most impact allow our life to be a fun more energetic life purpose filled life?

We all know that eating has become a comforter for many of us. Food is promoted to us in a way that we see it as a fix all a pleasing and exciting life event. Eating is not an emotional fix we are not to use food to emotionally bring us out of a slump the food industry would like for us to rely on there products in that manner it keeps there profits high.

>> http://www.smartfitnesstips.com/go/performancelifestyle

Eating is a fueling process and if we decide to share that time with family great however for the wellbeing of our family and loved ones it should always be just that a fueling process. The fuel that we choose should be the proper fuel. Doritos are not a fuel in my opinion and many others who have removed the Marketing Propaganda equation, know that it is not a food. Fuel yourself up wisely educate yourself properly.

>> http://www.smartfitnesstips.com/go/performancelifestyle


It is very important for your overall wellbeing that you realize that food is either cleansing or clogging. Food is fuel it either is high octane or sludge. Be in the know educate yourself on what is nutrient rich.

>> http://www.smartfitnesstips.com/go/performancelifestyle

Another avenue to enhancing your entire life is a complete makeover learn what should be and unlearn what the marketing industry has taught us. This is a great resource that will transform many of us into high performing superstars or at least get us on the right track. You will take it as far as you need to for your life superstar or on track in tune living.

Make your life flow live in the moment experience higher levels of love wealth and health. It is all right here.

Reeducate yourself get the Marketing Firms out of your mind - What is real food?

Your beliefs about nutrition have more than likely been form by a marketing firm and a company selling you a product.

Through out the years you have and still are exposed to marketing efforts that are designed to entice you to buy a product.

What is a product?

Directly from Wikidedia,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_(business): In marketing, a product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need (Kotler et al., 2006). When used as a business term, a "product" can be either a physical, tangible good (such as a book) or a service (like a haircut).

For just 1 moment think about what you buy on regular bases that you consider food.

In most case it is something that you are familiar and comfortable with. That belief has in most cases been form by marketing efforts of a company or group that has an agenda to sell you their product.

Let’s think about some products that shape you:

Dairy
Meat
Soft drinks
Automobiles
Hedge Clippers
Phone Services
Ect….

The list goes on, for just a moment think about what real nutrition is. Is it a bagel, muffin, class of milk, fruit juice, yogurt.

McDonald's marketed a product to us. They researched and developed their product, the way the fries taste and smelled while cooking and the way that they presented the product through grouping it and up selling it at the time of ordering.

McDonalds marketed to our children not just us. Now we are approached by a source that they enlisted to assist in selling a product to us. This source is near and dear to us our children and we all know how persistent our children can be. Was that ever a highly effective marketing move on there parts. WOW

Company’s spend Billions on there PRODUCTS marketing them.

So just keep in mind that you have been educated to believe what you believe to be food at this point. So it is time top reeducate you. You will want to learn the truth from a qualified individual that has your interests in mind, stop learning from the marketing firms and product pushers.

http://www.smartfitnesstips.com/go/reeducate

Live a life that is fun, energy filled and full of true self worth.

http://www.smartfitnesstips.com/go/reeducate

Be at your perfect weight and get there with ease unlearn your non-serving limiting beliefs and get there with ease. Reeducate yourself and birth a new you. Weight loss is important however diets tend to be temporary fixes and with a diet are you really losing the proper weight.

http://www.smartfitnesstips.com/go/reeducate

Don’t be fooled be all the weight loss claims and fades. It is really simple to reeducate your self and have great results with natural weight loss.

Learn the truth change your beliefs and naturally loss the fat not the muscle. Natural weight loss is true weight loss and it tends to be a long term life changing event.

How To -Create Massive Focused Motivation In Just 10-Minutes A Day

10-minutes a day to massive focused motivation!

You are about to understand a powerful motivation creating method that will transform your desires into reality.

Do you want to retire young, retire rich, be as sexy and healthy as you can be, build a business that generates an unstoppable cash flow, to be happy and live life to it’s fullest? You decide what you want from life.

Yes, 10 minutes a day can put you into a state of complete focused motivation that moves you towards attracting your desires.

No more wishing and wanting with out results. Massive focused motivation is within your reach.

This is an ancient technique that is still used very successfully today it will allow you to birth you desires. Generations have reaped the awesome rewards of this simple highly powerful and effective process.

Our worlds top athletes know and use this, the wealthy know and use this and the powerful and influential know and use this. Now you will harness this knowledge know and use this.

As you progress through the development of your 10 minutes a day motivation you will define what you really desire from your life. You will keep it a live in your minds eye and crystallize a vision. Each day it will be clear what you are doing and attracting to your reality. It all starts with a simple decision and consistent application of you new found (Habit) 10 minutes a day motivation building technique.

So let’s get you started with your success developing process.

I suggest that you read this report completely before doing any of the steps outlined. Get a good idea of what the entire process is first.

The initial set up of this process will take longer than 10 minutes and it should. Rest assured that after that you will be spending only 10 minutes a day.

Read on we are getting to the good part!

Invest in a journal of some kind. I started out with a spiral notebook and it worked fine. I have advanced to a higher quality journal since then but a simple spiral notebook is a great place to start. You see it doesn’t matter what you use, the power is in the action you take.

There is wisdom in knowledge; the true power is in applied knowledge.
Acting upon knowledge

Knowledge = Potential Power - Action = Power!
Action * Knowledge = Results


You step is to do some brainstorming. If you are new to brainstorming it is very simple here we go.

The mindset is to be open to all thoughts that come to you and write them down. I suggest at a minimum brainstorm on 25 items that you want to happen in you life. Remember no limits here (very important) write down 25 items that you want in your life.

Again read this whole report before beginning. To begin you need to put yourself in a situation of a relaxed and open mindset. Turn off any distraction mentally and/or physically at this moment.
Take a deep breath about a 4 second inhale hold it for 8 seconds and release with a long steady exhale that is about 6 seconds. You will repeat this breathing technique 10 to 15 times.

As you perform this exercise mentally and physically feel the fresh new oxygen filling you with energy and life. Hold it and exhale on the exhale feel your mind and body relaxing pushing away any distractions or stress. You will mentally be more alert and calm you will feel fresh alive and energized. This is an extremely powerful method that you be able to use the rest of your life as well.

Ok at this point you are ready to begin writing down your desires putting them on paper. You are relaxed open and ready. Remember 25 minimum. This is the brain storming portion. No limits put them down we will do some sorting in a minute. Write it down dream big!

Only after you have 25 items you can begin this portion. Here you prioritize and pick the most important items you want to bring to life first. Decide which ones you want first. This part you will be able to revisit as needed. Pick the top 3 to 4 items. Write them down on a separate piece of paper.

Great we are really getting to the heart of your new power pack life changing practice. We are almost done. Remember you are developing a powerful 10-minutes a day motivation technique that will change you life forever from this point on.

Invest some time in this it will be worth every moment, as you will see.

Now that you have your top 3 to 4 items that you want to bring to life write a short descriptive 2 to 3 sentence paragraph about each item.

If you find this difficult just do it. You can and will refine this as you go. They really don’t have to be prefect at this point the power is in the action you take.

You don’t have to get it right to get it going! You just have to get it going. The critiques and refining can happen as you go just get it going.

You will transfer these 3 to 4 items to a 5X8 index card. Use 2 if needed.

Ready now here is where you 10-minutes a day to massive focused motivation starts to work it’s magic.

You will pick a time that is all yours no distractions no worries. I can do this part anywhere at anytime now and I often do, but to start let’s develop this for you so that it becomes second nature for you.

The best and most powerful time to do this is in the morning immediately after you wake up. You can also do this just before sleeping very powerful as well.

If you pick the morning to do this you can always rise a little earlier than usual and begin.

What a way to start the day. All day these thoughts will be working in the background becoming a reality for you, internally motivating, focusing, build energy and purpose.

This practice begins by breathing deeply as outlined earlier in this report getting into a relaxed open state. Take your time and really live this process.

Read your 5X8 card(s). Read them silently and aloud. Spend about 10-minutes a day doing this. If you like you can also write them out on a piece of paper. About 10-minutes a day to massive focused motivation.

Repeat this process every day. You will experience a new found level of massive focused motivation.

It is that simple and extremely powerful.

Implementing this simple powerful practice into you daily life you will soon understand that anything is achievable.

Your motivation will be fueled by a constant input of what really motivates you at your core level. It is focused and personal.

You decide what you want!

Do you want to master Internet Marketing and Earn Money Online? It can be a great way to develop your wealth.

Rating Dominator - Make You Web Site Visitors Count!



Jason DeVelvis is a well-known and respected Internet Marketer, responsible for products like FlurryPop, a script that allows you to put your product over other people’s websites, and SaleFlurry – one of the premier Affiliate Networks. He also does Internet Marketing coaching.

ME: Jason, what is Web 2.0 all about?

JASON: Well, most people think it’s about AJAX, DHTML, Dynamic websites, Social Networking, things like that. But those are all byproducts of Web 2.0, not what it really is.
Web 2.0 is more of a paradigm shift – a change from “pushing” websites and content to visitors into “pulling” the content from them. Internet surfers don’t necessarily want to be just given information, but instead are looking for sites that allow them to participate. They want to get information from other people like themselves while making friends, forming relationships, and building a community. That’s Web 2.0 – and so many people are missing the boat.

ME: So static content sites are on the way out?

JASON: Nope, I don’t mean that, because content sites will always have a place on the web. Not all visitors are going to want to contribute, many will still just be looking for an answer to their question, or information on their topic. But why not let another one of your visitors give them that information?

ME: Ok, so how can Internet Marketers and webmasters take advantage of this on their websites?

JASON: In a number of ways, actually. But the easiest way is to give your users the opportunity to contribute to your site somehow. Put up a forum, or give them the ability to blog on your site, or throw up a blog and encourage them to comment, etc etc etc. Honestly, people like to tell people their opinions, and they’re generally willing to put those opinions out there for people to read.

ME: Is it really that easy? “Put up a forum”?

JASON: Haha, no. If you don’t have traffic to your site, you won’t be successful in getting your visitors to post and spend time there.

ME: So no “If you build it, they will come?”

JASON: Nope – that hasn’t worked since the mid 90s. Actually, I created my first affiliate site in 2001, and I thought that all I had to do was put up a site and people would just come to it. After about a month of work to get the site up (it was a sweet site, or so I thought) it took me about a week to realize that it was a bomb – big time – because I didn’t have any traffic. Then, I launched another site, and concentrated on getting people to it through any means that I could, and that’s when I started to see success with it.

When I got people to
1) come to my site
2) keep coming back to it
Coincidentally, that site went down within a few months because my hosting company at the time had a bandwidth limit and no way to upgrade the account, so they shut my site down when I hit that threshold. My lesson: make sure your hosting company will grow with your site :)
ME: Ok, then how do you recommend getting people to come to your site?

JASON: That’s an entire course in and of itself, and there are plenty of courses out there on it, but I’m a BIG fan of article marketing. But there are tons of ways to drive traffic – SEO, articles, AdWords, email lists, forum marketing, email signatures, JVs, and on and on and on…
But the REAL biggie is how to keep your visitors coming back! You don’t want to do all that work to get tons of traffic to your site just to have them give it a once over and then leave, never to return, do you? Nah, that’s leaving money on the table! So how do you keep people coming back? Give them a reason to. Plain and simple. If your site is an affiliate site, or a content site, or a plain old blog, you NEED to give them something to make them want to one, be there, and two, come back for more. My suggestion on doing it? Turn your site into a user-driven ratings/review site.

ME: Great advice. Any chance a ratings site will help with bringing new people in, too?

JASON: Well, I can’t say this 100% for sure, because I haven’t thoroughly tested it, but I’ve been noticing a HUGE upswing of reviews and review sites in the top 10 pages of Google. Any time I search for any kind of product, I almost immediately see a review listed in the top 10, frequently in the top 5! Now, that may just be coincidence, so take it with a grain of salt, but if other people’s review sites are making the top 10, can’t yours?

ME: Haha, well said. If I’m right, you just launched a script that allows you to easily create user-generated review sites, didn’t you?

JASON: Why else would I be raving about them? Just kidding – Yes, I did just release a Wordpress plugin that turns your blog into a Web 2.0 review machine. But this isn’t one of those “Hey, maybe this will sell well… I’ll create it and sell it to all these suckers” (actually, none of my products are) – I created it to run my own review sites and drive more profits. I created it as an income source, and it turned out very well. As I was creating it, I wondered if anyone else could make use of it. And I kid you not, the first 10 people I talked to about it thought it was AWESOME and they wanted to get their hands on it ASAP! I almost flipped – I only mentioned in in passing most of the time, and it quickly became the topic of conversation. I actually had to push up the launch because people were emailing me and almost begging me to release it. So I did :-)

ME: What’s so good about this product? Why should I use it?

JASON: Well, first of all, it’s easy to use – it runs on Wordpress, so it’s VERY easy to get set up. For those who aren’t very technological, or experienced with Wordpress, there are full, step-by-step help videos. Second, with the intrinsic Wordpress spam filtering, you don’t have to worry about getting your ratings site spammed like crazy from random spam bots.
But the most important thing is that it enables your visitors to give their opinion on products, ideas, blog posts, or whatever you want them to rate! You can use it for affiliate products, your own products, your rants and ramblings, ideas, blog posts, anything – so you’re not limited on how you can use it. And we all know how much people like to give their opinions, so you shouldn’t be short on user generated content for the search engines to eat up and keep the traffic coming.

ME: You haven’t given a URL yet, Jason…

JASON: Haha, that I haven’t. You can get your copy of Rating Dominator at
=> http://www.bigbankaccount.com/go/ratingdominator

ME: Alright, thanks a lot Jason!

And for those of you reading this, what Jason didn’t mention was that Rating Dominator is FREE! Yeah, you don’t have to pay a dime - All you have to do is go to

Internet Marketing Traffic -Interview With A Traffic Expert

Michael Cheney Talks Traffic - Interview With A Traffic Expert

Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos and 11 Days To List Profits. He has unveiled a new videos product -
Michael's" Traffic Videos which covers everything to do with traffic and comes with 100,000 instant ad credits and a tailored Fast-Track To Traffic Action Plan.

We managed to grab some time with him recently and quiz him on his favorite topic - traffic.

You'll get a lot out of this interview including a killer 40-page E-book on traffic that Michael has written to help you avoid the Top 20 Traffic Disasters!

So let's get started.

Q. Firstly Michael, thank you for joining us today in your busy schedule.

A. Hey no problem. Good to be here.

Q. We all know that traffic is important but could you just explain a bit about traffic for the beginners out there?

A. Sure. Traffic is the lifeblood of any business online. Without it you just die. We all know that. But what a lot of us don't realize is that just like everything else on the Internet traffic changes very quickly. That is, the methods of getting traffic are changing all the time and that's where people get caught out.

Q. What do you mean by "caught out"?

A. Well people fall into the trap of thinking that just because they know one or two traffic generation methods that they are some sort of traffic master. In reality just because you know how to start a pay per click campaign or a little bit about search engines doesn't make you anywhere near a traffic expert. I'm trying to spread the word that there is a massive array of traffic tactics that most people aren't even aware of, let alone using or mastering.

Q. Can you give us some examples?

A. Sure. Offline for example. You might immediately think that getting traffic is a purely online activity but the truth of the matter is that there are lots of things you can be doing offline to get people into your website. And it's usually these sorts of areas that are being under-utilized and therefore there is less competition for that traffic as well.

Q. So by offline you mean advertising offline?

A. Not necessarily. That is one method, yes, but I'm thinking of more creative ways to get people into your website. It all comes down to the fact that having asked people on my list it came as no surprise that most people want to know about free rather than paid traffic sources. I've had to become an expert in free ways of getting traffic in my time online.

Q. What do you mean - I thought you were running a successful online business with lots of cash flow?

A. I am. But it's not always been this way. When I first started out in 1995 I had nothing. No money to play with. Just my own initiative and imagination.

Q. So are you saying you're against paying for traffic online?

A. No. No I'm not saying that at all. What I'm saying is that, especially when you first start out, you always want to focus on the free methods. You get the traffic in for free, make some sales and then you can reinvest some of that money into paid methods of getting traffic. This speeds up the process.

Q. So what particular offline methods are you referring to - can you give us some examples?

A. There's one tactic I used that costs nothing to implement, is relatively quick and ended up getting me thousands and thousands of targeted visitors into my websites. When I've shared this tactic with other marketers at seminars they've started laughing and slapping their foreheads when they saw how easy it was. They were also embarrassed that they had failed to use this tactic. It was quite amusing.

Q. So are you going to tell us what this method is?

A. No! (laughs) It's in my course! I truly believe in rewarding those people that are most eager to learn so instead of giving away all my traffic tactics in interviews like this I've put some of them in an E-Book I've written. It is free though if people want to get it.

Q. So how can people get hold of it?

A. It's called "How To Avoid The Top 20 Traffic Disasters" and you can get it by going to
Michael's" Traffic Videos - you'll see it mentioned on that page.

Q. What's in it?

A. Well I really wanted to raise the bar on a free E-Book so I spent a lot of time creating it. It's 40 pages long and stuffed with juicy content on what NOT to do when it comes to traffic. As far as I'm concerned too many people out there tell you what you should do but not what you shouldn't do. That's where this E-Book comes in.

Q. Okay. I think we're about done is there anything else you want to tell everyone?

A. Just that if they are serious about getting more traffic into their website they need to goto
Michael's" Traffic Videos and get that free E-Book.

Q. Cool. Well thanks for your time Michael and speak to you soon.

A. My pleasure. We will speak soon.

Michael over delivers with this product you will get 100 X's its value. It doesn’t matter if you are new to Internet Marketing or a veteran you will get value

Wealth Building A Simple Mindset!

What a great day!

Here is a quote that I received from a friend of mine that really brings home a valuable point one that we all deserve to develop into our daily lives. Our POWERFUL daily power thinking don’t think small think BIG!

"What we really want to do is what we are
really meant to do. When we do what we are
meant to do, money comes to us, doors open
for us, we feel useful, and the work we
do feels like play to us."- Julia Cameron

Here are a couple of questions for you to ponder this week:

>>Are you doing what you are meant to do?
>>Does what you are doing now feel like work or play?
>>How can you make what you are doing now feel more like play?

You really deserve to get to a point that your day job is not that important. What do I mean? Well for the last couple of weeks I have not been working all that much at (my day job) what I use to need and count on for surviving. Well it’s not that important to me and my family anymore.

Why is that? Well I am glad you ask.

You see it all started the very moment that I looked into my 6 month baby boy’s eyes just before heading out to the airport. My day job has provided a great lifestyle for us but it did require me to travel frequently. I would get on a plane for the 1to 2 weeks. Generally I would be at home on the weekends. The weekend was mostly spent getting back in sync after being on the road.

Don’t take this wrong I am not complaining I am merely laying the ground word for that magic moment. That moment that put me on a path to share to become more and open up to the possibilities that we all have.

It all starts with that magic moment mine was looking into my boys eyes and knowing that there is more to chasing a paycheck. Sure it is moving away from our comfort zone stepping out and adventuring into a new area for most of us. Let me tell you that it is all worth it. My magic moment will always be with me in fact I revisit on a regular bases. I bring it to life often and my family and me will and are benefiting from it.

You see there are huge opportunities for anyone who has the desire and or need to develop there wealth. I know that money is not the master we are the master of our money and is simply a concept. We are the ones that decide what value money has. What we have been taught about money is not always correct. Do yourself a huge favor don’t agree with me totally on this, just agree that it could be possible that there is a better way to view the money concept.

To build wealth all you have to do is affirm that want more you deserve more. We all do deserve more correct. It is a simple decision one that will forever get you headed in the right direction.

We don’t need to be convinced that there is enough money to be made; just look around there is really an endless supply. We don’t need to be convinced that we can do it: there are endless stories of people going from poverty to wealth and individuals moving from there corporate JOB into their wealth. Oh by the way when these individuals do move into there wealth they are not limited by the boundaries of a company. They open up doors to a whole new and exciting world of possibilities. So the fact is there is plenty of money to go around and those who decide to will do it.

It all starts with a decision a simple decision.

Review the quote above find your magic moment bring it to life and decide to take action.

Become the master of your destiny, it’s a mindset and simple.

That is why I have started to live a life that I am able to develop my wealth.

I am also able to help other through Internet Marketing. I have put together a web site that is packed full of tools for Internet Marketers. These tools are the weapons of choice for the top earners in Internet Marketing. This is one of several sites that I own.
