Well, it looks like another Google update to their search engine rankings has gone into affect!

And it seems like marketers all over are already seeing their websites drop significantly in the rankings. There’s already large and growing threads in many of the popular marketing forums where folks are sharing how far their website rankings have fell!

I just thought I would take this opportunity to show you yet another reason why I believe so strongly in building your own subscriber list.

This protects your business from being at the mercy of the search engines. So whether you are using SEO, safelist, traffic exchanges, paid advertising, or any other type of traffic generation method, please don’t put all that work to waste!

You never know when that website you’re promoting might go out of business, making your affiliate links pointless. You never know when an owner might just stop paying out commissions (has happened to me a few times and lots of other marketers!). And you never know when your top ranking website might suddenly stop receiving any traffic at all.

Build a customer list that you can bring with you wherever your business takes you.

For building a subscriber list, I like Aweber.

If you need some tools to start you on the way to building your own mailing list, try out my very cool list building and traffic system, List Recon.

Have you been affected by this change or know someone who has? Have a story or comment you want to share? We would love to hear from you!

I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions through the years about how I managed to have success online in a fairly short period of time. Within 3 months of jumping seriously into traffic exchanges, I managed to start earning a full time income online.

BUT there is a dirty little secret that not many people share…

You must pay your dues to reach success!

Of course there are some exceptions if you’re extremely lucky, but for 99% of people it will take some effort if you want to live a new and improved lifestyle.

One thing I’ve never shared with you is the amount of effort I put in my first few months before launching my first site, Elite Safelist. At the time I was in college, working a part time job, and trying to build my online business. This is literally what my schedule was like:

Mon-Fri

5:30 AM – Wake up (or at least try to!)

6 AM – Leave for School

7 AM – 7 PM – At School, In Class, Working, Driving  Home, Working On Biz Between All That Other Stuff!

8 PM – 2 AM – Working on my business

Weekends

All Day – Working on my business as much as humanly possible, with exceptions made for family, holidays, events, etc.

Yes, I was only sleeping a few hours a day at best – no exaggeration. Of course there were the occasional days where I had other stuff to do, but this was literally what I was doing on a daily basis. And there were many times I stayed up until 3 – 5 in the morning.

Today, I can say I live in a way that most people would probably be envious of. Most of my day belongs to me, while my business works for me.

But please do not misunderstand me, I am not asking you to put this much effort daily into your own business. I understand you probably have your own responsibilities and you don’t need to be crazy like I was to succeed. In fact what I did was borderline insane and quite unhealthy too! However, I would like you to realize that if you are not yet achieving the success you had imagined, the odds are you may not have paid your dues yet.

How many hours have you actually worked on your business so far?

And I’m not talking about looking at the computer deciding what to do, where to go, or searching online for another product to buy. But actually working, such as doing research, learning from experts, discovering new strategies/skills, building squeeze pages, getting traffic, brainstorming, etc etc.?

I probably put more effort in 3 months than the average person would do in 1-2 years.

BUT…

That is perfectly fine!

If it took you 1 year to be able to make a full time income online, would that be ok for you? Would you be happy even if it took you 2 years? Or even 5 years to get out of your job and actually get to spend time doing things you enjoy on a daily basis? A college education is roughly the same amount of time, and all that gets you is a j-o-b!

Success is not a race. I don’t care if you see success in 3 months or 5 years from now, but I want to see you succeed.

So understand that while you do have to pay your dues, and it is all worth the effort in the end. That’s the dirty little secret, but actually it’s not that bad if it means you can wake up with a smile on your face everyday!

Whats a great problem to have? How about accidentally getting some referrals?

I’ve been testing some different list building methods recently and have been showing OTO’s using my Free One Time Offer Script service. I checked some stats and noticed a pleasant surprise…

I pulled in 6 referrals just from showing those offers! At the bottom of each OTO is a little link to the Free OTO Script site (automatically built in with your referral link) that those users clicked and ended up joining.

Unfortunately none of them upgraded, that of course that is just the beginning and the upgrades will come with time.

I thought that was a cool little extra benefit of using Free OTO Script. You can display your own one time offers, plus you also have the chance to pull in some extra referrals and commissions using the system too!

So check out Free OTO Script! After you join, I think you’ll find it a valuable tool in your money making arsenal. Click here to join for free.

Talk to ya later!

Say a big thank you to your peers!

I promised that if I had enough comments/tweets in my last blog post, I would willing to share THIS post with you! There’s also a tweet out there, but for whatever reason Tweetme is not counting it. :p

I do need to mention that although I say 3-10 sales per month, it’s actually much higher when you factor in some other things… which I will address in just a moment.

I have to warn you that this is so simple, you may almost not believe it. But this is really all it takes to get your business started online and start making sales.

So here it is, step by step:

• I use the pre-built squeeze pages and autoresponder series given away for free at List Recon
• I advertise regularly at all of my favorite traffic exchanges, safelists, and viral list builders (or as much as possible) and of course track my results
• I’m upgraded at many of the best converting programs. If you can’t afford to upgrade yet, you’ll want to be more active.
• Watch as my subscriber list grows, people join List Recon under my referral link, and upgrade
• Repeat

And that process alone scores me about 3-10 sales each month.

HOWEVER…

That is actually just the sales I’m counting immediately.

As a Free member, your List Recon affiliate link is inside of the free report you give away.

But as an upgraded member of List Recon, you can rebrand ALL of the affilate links inside of the ebook and inside the members area! That equals dozens more opportunities to make even more sales at various quality programs. In many cases these are also residual income sales, which means you could be earning monthly commissions too.

PLUS you are building your subscriber list. That means you can also have an instant audience whenever something exciting comes out that you think can help others.

So now you’re making Front-End Sales, Back-End Sales, Residual Sales, AND planting the seeds for Future Sales!

In reality, 3-10 sales is quite an understatement.

There are a couple of important considerations. First, as I mentioned earlier, I am upgraded at many sites. So if you can’t afford upgrades, you’ll need to be more active. If you can’t be more active, the results may come at a slower pace. That’s ok! Just be willing to put in the work and get as many sales as possible.

Second, I use my own website List Recon as an example, but you can certainly use any proven lead generator and sales system that can deliver results for you. I just like List Recon because it’s my own site and I know for a fact it works. I use the EXACT same content from List Recon that I give away to my members. If you have something that works, definitely stick with it. Just make sure that you have a system that can get all the income potential like what I presented to you above. If you don’t have something like yet, then I suggest using List Recon.

… aaand so that is my big secret! The big secret is that there really is no secret. You just have to go out there and DO IT!

Whoa whoa, so am I some weight loss guru now?!

Nope, I just happen to be very active in trying to live a healthy lifestyle. So if you’re trying to lose weight for the new year, I thought I’d share with you some super simple tips that can help you get there!

• Starting eating FRESH food. That means no pre-packaged foods!
• Start reading nutrition labels. But rather than reading how many calories, fat, carbs, and protein it has… read the ingredients list! You would be shocked at how many weird chemicals and unhealthy ingredients are in every day, common foods. I’ve personally found that just being conscious of what you’re puting in your body will slowly influence how you eat. (Special note: There are some ingredients that look scary, but are actually perfectly healthy for you)
• Trade your favorite beverages for a healthier option. So if you like soda, trade it with fruit juice. Like juice? Drink some water!

And of course, you should always consult a professional before making significant changes in your diet and exercise program.

Ok, so those are my super simple tips for losing some weight… but what does that have to do with making money?

Living a healthier lifestyle gives you more energy, and helps make your mind and body feel better. And when you’re feeling better, you work better!

Simple as that.

If you want even more, I’ll tell you how to get 3-10 sales every month (with the potential for a ton more). BUT… you have to leave a comment or tweet this out! And if I get enough, I’ll reveal how. It can be a question about this post and living healthier, or even just a comment saying you want to know how to get those sales. But I want to see you taking action, because that tends to be how you get what you want in life.

As we approach another holiday season here in the US, I’d just like remind you that as we work hard to improve our lives, lets always remember to be happy and grateful for the things that we do have!

I think we all have the ability to achieve more and live a life of abundance. However we also have many things in our lives which we can be happy about. So here is a short, incomplete list on just SOME of the things you and I can be happy about. Pick and choose what applies and works for you!

• Friends, Family, and Loved ones – What would life be like without them?
• A place to live in – better than homeless!
• Having food to eat every day – a luxury many around the world do NOT have!
• Being able to walk
• Having all of your limbs (or even just some of them)
• Being able to see
• Having clear water to drink – some countries do not even have this!
• And many others!

I know all of this stuff seems small because we are expected to have them, but imagine life without some of these “luxuries”! If you have even one thing on this list (or something else I neglected to mention), then you have plenty to be thankful for.

So while this may be the gift giving season for many people, I just want to say lets also be grateful for all the little things that we do have in life. And of course lets also work hard to have a little bit more!

This is the launch that I have probably been the most excited about ever.

And that’s because I think this is the one site that has the most potential to help online business owners finally make some cash online.

It’s called Free One Time Offer Script

If there’s anything I’ve discovered after owning my own membership sites these last few years, it is that one time offers work and they can dramatically improve sales. It is such a profitable tool, yet beginner marketers could not get access to it without investing a lot of money and time.

And that’s why I created Free OTO Script.

Even if you don’t have a website or product to sell, you can still use my Free OTO Script system to start showing your own one time offers. And there’s even a Custom OTO system for more experienced marketers that have their own products.

And best of all, there are NO installations or technical knowledge needed because we host the Free OTO Script on our servers!

Any way, check it out and let me know what you think! Just click here now and claim your free one time offer script.

Walt Bayliss and Mark Evans have launched a brand new site that puts viral marketing to shame – if that’s even possible. =)

In fact, after sending my first ad (as an upgraded member) I already got 39 likes on Facebook and pulled in 5 new subscribers!

UPDATE: So far this month (almost half way through September), this has gotten me TWICE the number of subscribers as my next best advertising resource!

It’s called Totally Tweetable. Click here to join now for free.

BUT there’s a catch…

When advertising use Totally Tweetable, for every person that visits your website, they can also TWEET about your website to their Twitter followers! AND they can like your website on their facebook account. Imagine someone with 1,000 followers on Twitter or 1,000 friends on facebook happens to see your website, and decides to share it…

Suddenly that one friendly share has resulted in potentially up to 1,000 people seeing YOUR website and maybe buying something from you.

That’s an example of social and viral marketing working its magic for you.

AND then (yes, not finished yet!), some of those tweets and facebook likes could potentially get shared by their friends too, making your viral marketing campaign go viral again.

Your earning ability literally sky rockets to insane potential just by using Totally Tweetable.

It’s kind of like making viral marketing going viral again, so to speak.

Sometimes it’s hard to get people to share or tweet about your website. But with Totally Tweetable, now people will actually be excited to share your sites.

The power of this may be hard to follow, but that just shows how insanely fast your advertisements could be spreading across the internet – building your list and growing your sales like wildfire.

Oh and after you join, of course there will be a great offer that will help you discover how to supercharge your advertising to truly take advantage of viral marketing in the biggest way possible.

Walt has launched several extremely popular programs in the past. And he even made quick changes to the site days after the launch when hearing some feedback from users and owners alike. He has a proven history of delivering results, and he has truly shown that he cares about delivering you a great, profitable experience.

I’m already getting some stellar numbers and viral marketing thanks to Totally Tweetable. And I would love to see you get similar or even better results than myself.

Speaking Of Subscribers, Here’s How To Get Them!

If there’s anything I like, it’s proven owners and unique concepts. =)

List Surfing is one of those extremely unique ideas that also turns out to be extremely effective. It’s a free traffic service that combines the power of traffic exchanges and viral list builders into one cool little system.

I promoted it when it initially launched, and I had some really nice results with it. Well now List Surfing has relaunched with some brand new features! I was very fortunate to get a sneak peak at the new system before it went live.

=> Just Too Excited? Click here to see the new List Surfing!

First, lets go over some of the original features…

You get “unlimited” traffic for limited effort! Simply surf 50 pages in their traffic exchange system and read 5 emails from their list builder, and your pages will rotate infinitely among other members’ pages for an entire month! That is one of the coolest concepts that I really like, especially if you’re short on time.

Those credits you earn for surfing can also be used in their viral mailer! So if you wanted to surf more than 50 pages, you are welcome to and you get rewarded with additional advertising so you can make more cash.

And of course there’s a great affiliate program built in so you can earn some nice traffic credits and commissions for telling people about List Surfing.

So what’s new?

Well first, the entire site has gotten a very sexy make over! The design is modern and in my opinion a significant improvement. This is great for you as an affiliate and advertiser, because it lends more credibility when a site looks professional. That means more people joining, being active, potentially visiting your websites, and buying from you.

They’ve also added what they call, “Social Brand Immersion”. This allows you to better brand yourself by showing your picture, name, and even an opt-in box when people are viewing sites! People can leave comments about your page and chat with each other as well. This allows you to connect with your audience and even get people talking about your page. I’ve personally found branding and list building to be a couple of my main keys to success, so to see this integrated smoothly into List Surfing will really help members profit in the long run.

They have also added thumbnail surfing. Now you will see previews of a couple of sites and you can select the page you want to see. This has the potential to improve conversions and signups because people are actually selecting to see your page.

Those are some of the main highlights I’m really liking about the new List Surfing, though there is plenty more to enjoy inside after you join.

Of course there is an option to upgrade your membership to a higher level also. Once you join, make sure you take a long look at the upgrade offer, because it really saves you a lot of time and you’ll get some great advertising too.
