Folks,
I’ve been overwhelmed (overjoyed!) by the amount of consulting work that I’m currently doing. I’ve been able to build my client base with the aid of a team of 7 because of the invaluable lessons I’ve learned from John Jonas of ReplaceMyself and, especially, Maria Gudelis’ Ultimate Cash System.
Well, tonight, Maria is hosting another standout webinar (free) to help you get started in the online marketing consulting world (there are a ton of local businesses just waiting for you to call–SEE NOTE BELOW).
What I like about Maria is she not only ‘walks the talk’ she’s also a damn good teacher.
Here’s your link: UCS
WARNING #1: Lock in your seat. You must register now before you are shut out as GoToWebinar limits the room size to 1,000…I know, that’s crazy isn’t it?
WARNING #2: Be on the webinar 15 MINUTES EARLY to secure your seat. Once you’re on you can’t be booted.
Again, your link: UCS.
Finally, please post your comments here tomorrow.
Thanks,
Mike
NOTE:
- More than 300 MILLION local business searches per month.
- 84% of searches are looking online for a local business.
- Those local businesses *NEED YOUR HELP*

SEO just got a lot easier for me.
One of my SEO assistants just turned me onto a HUGE time saving seo software tool called SheerSEO.
I used to hate having to use one tool (like SEOmoz) to track keyword rankings and then another (like Google Analytics) to track site visits/stats.
SheerSEO gathers all of your SEO information in one place. The thing I like most about this tool is that it just keeps on giving; I expected to find keyword rank checking reporting but I was very surprised and delighted to find backlink analysis, a directory submission feature, and tweet tracking (!).
You can also track social bookmarking, and view on-page analysis.
BEST PART: 90 day free trial.
Enter your URL on their home page right now just to see all that you get for free. You’ll thank me later for this one.
Cheers,
Mike

End the week on a positive note:Â take these two actions.
Let’s talk about how your phone is going to boost your sales (yes, I, Mike Corso, Web/Tech/Gadget Addict am talking about your TELEPHONE and, believe me, when you adopt these simple-to-use tools you’re going to kick yourself for not doing this years ago).
First, let me ask you: do you think you’re making the most of your phone to drive sales? The answer is you’re not and we’re going to fix that today.
Only because of the thousands of contacts I’ve made through Cool Site of the Day have I come across these two exceptional, cost efficient sales tools.
FULL DISCLAIMER: The first service paid 29.95 to be featured on Cool Site of the Day (I told them ‘NO’–they deserved better than that). The second service ultimately became (and remains) a client–nothing groundbreaking here but enough positive customer testimonials to make their service very compelling for ANY business.
#1

Batting first: CallOnClick, an easy to use, easy to implement click to call button for your website. It can be used by any webmaster and any ebay auctioneer. What I like about it is that you can accept toll free calls from anywhere in the world with their easy website plug-in. Bottom line: Do you believe your website suffers from shopping cart abandonment? If so, then this is a no-brainer.
#2

Next up:Â Primary Wave Media’s Vanity Phone Numbers.
Fact is, you’re losing potential customers because people can’t remember your phone number. Primary Wave Media has helped more than 1,000 companies increase advertising response rates and revenue by providing unforgettable, vanity toll-free numbers at very affordable rates.
2 THINGS YOU NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW:
- Don’t listen to me. Signup for their free video tips showing how to improve your sales and marketing using a vanity toll free number (top right of this page).
- Get a free month of service (I told them to do this for you) – Just call Paul Faust (great guy) and tell him I sent you (1-877-TOLL FREE or 1-800-864-2354 choose option #2 to be connected with Paul). Even if you’re not ready to order, Paul will freely share his best business building tips and be happy to answer any questions you have.
That’s it for today. Get movin’.
