The timing of this post is no accident.

It’s Friday, you’re overwhelmed because another work week is coming to a close and you just realized that you only completed 3 of your 10 HIGH PRIORITY tasks this week.

Get ready for the stress to be lifted and a radical change in the way you do business.

As promised, last week, I interviewed John Jonas, the brain behind ReplaceMyself, and grilled him for over 50 minutes (click the play button below).  I got him to spill his guts regarding how he’s able to find FULL TIME assistants overseas and pay them $3,000 PER YEAR!!!  Top notch programmers, $6,000 PER YEAR…FULL TIME!!!!!

Give this your full attention AND THEN ACT ON IT!

Have a great weekend,

Mike

Do You Have Something to Teach?

Over the weekend I told you about Russell Brunson’s new “Micro Continuity” program – BUT, did you hear about Joy Anderson?

Before I talk about Joy, let me just say that the reason I’m telling you about Micro Continuity TWICE this week is because I LOVE IT BIG TIME!!!

I’m going to be setting up no less than three Micro Continuity programs between now and the end of the year (all because of Russell’s incredible story).

Anyway, back to Joy; she’s a stay at home mom who took the Micro-C system, and in less than 48 hours had a website up and launched and making money (and she has NO technical skills!!!)

How is this possible…?  I’ve got good news – Joy wrote a 34 page report giving you VERY detailed step by step instructions of EVERYTHING she did during those 48 hours!

You can go and get this report 100% free – AND, if you hurry fast, you can get a free pre-loaded mp3 player from Russell with the whole Micro-C method presented in a 6-hour presentation. (Yeah, he’s giving away an mp3 player…crazy but once you digest Micro-C you’ll understand.  He’s basically paying you to LEARN.)

Link to Report

This report goes into so much detail, the it looks more like a blueprint then a report.  Be sure to print it out and study every page of it.  It’s a quick read, but will give you the EXACT tools you need to get your Micro-C site setup this weekend!

So go get the report now:

For the 6% of you on my mailing list who are as obsessed with PPC as I am, I open up my war chest to you:

For all my PPC campaigns (either for affiliate marketing or Cool Site of the Day) I utilize several advanced keyword research, landing page optimization and PPC campaign creation tools.  The ESSENTIAL ones are…..

• SpeedPPC (hands down, the most useful, time saving, campaign cruncher on the planet. Great product from my friends downunder!)
• LPGen (this incredible landing page optimizer is truly a secret weapon…sometimes I think I should keep this one under wraps.  Oh well, you win.)
• Keywordtopia (a perfectly great web app for keyword research. Always start with Google’s free Keyword Tool then hit Keywordtopia, for sure.)
• Wordze (another excellent tool for keyword research. Use it FREE on Friday nights)
• Keycompete (OK, this one is truly nasty; if you simply have no idea what keywords to bid on, ’steal’ them from your competitors)

Further, I use the following keyword tracking tools (What!? You’re not tracking your keywords? Don’t tell anyone.):

• StatsJunky (my current favorite. AWESOME!  Read my complete review here.)
• Tracking202 (simple to setup and the price is right–free version–but StatsJunky is a bit more user friendly)
• Xtreme Conversions (good support, low price point but, honestly, I just don’t have the time to fully explore at the present time)

Now, go build, optimize, and make money!

I’m extremely proud to have worked on The Fat Free Guide to SEO copywriting with Ian Lurie of conversationmarketing.com.  I’m not just saying this because I had a hand in the final product (ebook and free 45-minute audio).  This is the kind of primer I wish was available when I first started to learn SEO.  So clearly explained.  A ‘must read’ for ALL webmasters.  Get yours here.

Could making money with Twitter be any easier than this?

TweetBucks – This is a WAY cool idea-totally free to signup. In fact they deposit $5 into your account just for signing up: http://tinyurl.com/l46kr4

TweetBucks will be covered in my upcoming release Twitter or Die.

Have a great weekend,

Mike

Since I got a phone call from Bob Bentz of 84444 about including broadcast text messages in my marketing mix I’ve been hooked.

Here’s what I’m doing so far:

I’ve invited people to simply pick up their mobile phone and text ‘coolsite’ to 84444 to be entered into a random drawing for the following:

1. A chance to get a free 60-minute phone consultation with me (re: my Website Reviews).  On the 15th of every month I’ll select one lucky webmaster ($297 value)
2. A chance to get a free followup 60-minute phone consultation with me when a 60-minute phone consultation is ordered ($297 value).

There’s no obligation.  By texting ‘coolsite’ to 84444, you are simply telling me that you want to be entered into my random drawing for both promotions above.

How many ways can you use mobile marketing to boost your business or just make your life easier?  Here are some ideas:

• Notify your list of a special promotion
• Notify your list of a limited time coupon
• Notify your sports team of a game change or cancelled practice (great for coaches)
• Notify your patrons that a huge star just entered your club
• Notify friends and family of an emergency
• Offer a text to win sweepstakes

The thing I like about 84444 is that it’s truly ‘do-it-yourself’.  Setup to execution took me 15 minutes…and the price is right.  Visit 84444 and setup a trial account.

Have a great weekend,

Mike

4.5 out of 5 star recommendation here….

For the past two months I’ve been using StatsJunky to automatically download my stats from all of my affiliate programs and output them to an easy to read, at-a-glance format, which tells me instantly where all my money is coming from (and going to!).

Designed for Pay-Per-Click and Affiliate Marketers like me – StatsJunky is a one-of-a-kind, revolutionary desktop application that tracks keyword level profit/loss, across an unlimited number of networks, securely and automatically.

This is one of those tools I wonder if I should keep to myself but, hey, you know me by now–share and share alike

I’ve been talking up Stompernet quit a bit lately but there’s one thing I have not given enough space to and that’s their insanely useful Internet Marketing publicationThe Net Effect.

I was looking at the number of drafts of blog posts (as in, unfinished) that I’ve written and the number is out of control: 47.  That means, over the past few months I’ve started (and not finished) 47 blog posts.  Unconscionable.  Believe me, every one of them is filled with useful tips related to running an online business.

So here’s what I’ve decided….

I’M GOING TO LET YOU TELL ME WHAT TO BLOG ABOUT.

That’s it, I’ve created this short poll for you to complete.  The number of responses for each topic will dictate which unfinished blog posts are going to get finished first (expect at least one or two a week).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Mike
