You have to give to be able to get.

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

One of the fastest ways to get start getting online traffic is by just blogging about what you are leaning and about your online progress.

See the truth is no matter where you are at with your online ventures there is somebody who is behind you in the learning curve. So this means that there are always people who are looking to learn what you know.

Now I’m not saying go out and pretend to be or know something that you don’t but just be willing to share what you know with others first.

People don’t really care that you may or maynot be some Guru they just care that you are sharing info with them.

A good example of this is the http://www.shoemoney.com/ or the http://www.johnchow.com/

These to dudes are at the top of the game and yet they are always giving great info to there readers.

You have to give to be able to get.

Dream, But Just A Little…

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Today I don’t have anything to sell you…so take a deep breath and relax.

But what I want to give you is something money can’t buy…the power of dreams.

As entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs most of us all have one thing in common: we’re dreamers!

We day dream constantly, fantasize about things we want to own, places we want to go, and so on and so forth.

Non-entrepreneurial types might scold us for being such dreamers & even tell us that it’s a waste of time & yada, yada, yada.

Dreaming & fantasizing about where you want to go in life is perfectly healthy, as long as it’s done in moderation.

As a matter of fact, I want you to actually write down a few of the things you’d like to have most in this world. Be sure the things you write down are realistically attainable.

Once you’ve written them down take a close look because you’ve just identified a few of your long term goals.

In order to reach those long term goals we’ll also have to “dream” up a few short term, and more easily achievable goals. These short-term goals should be related to your internet business. I.E. – “Build an email list of 3,000+ responsive double opt-in subscribers in the next 3 months.” Or, “create a new membership site with a recurring revenue of $500 per month.”

You get the idea, right? Now go ahead & jot down a few of your own short-term business goals.

Now I want to you to download the dream report and read it.

Don’t go too easy on yourself with these short term goals, they should still be a
challenge. But on the same token, don’t make them overly difficult & set yourself up for failure.

Talk soon,
Charles Kirkland

P.S. Now download the report before now or your car is going to get hit by a asteroid on the freeway while you are stuck in rush hour traffic. Ok. Maybe not.

Article marketing and free traffic still works when it’s done RIGHT!

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Today I have a great call I did with Chip Morgan from http://www.autobizsoftware.com about how to get free traffic and make some real money with articles and how you can copy his success.

What would I do if I had to start all over today with only a $100?

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Today I have a interview I did with Scott about what would I do to start making money today if I had to start all over with only $100. This is not like anything you have ever been told before and it may just shock some people.

Are we harping on this?

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Hi There,

Charles and Scott for another installment of
your 8:01 marketing tips for today. I am sure
you will either be really glad to get this one, or
ticked off that we are reminding you about it.

Both of us hope that our information is being used
to help you with your quest to make money. Yet,
at the same time, it is somewhat frustrating to
give advice and know that it is not being taken.

No, neither Charles or Scott are preachers, however
we are regular folks who market on the internet for
a living and a good one at that.

When we first started chatting about this series,
both of us had gotten question after question on
how to make money on the internet.

Everyday, we are using the tips we have freely given
to you and you must admit we have not pressured
you to purchase the next greatest thing since sugar
coated donuts.

There is a reason for this, we have gotten sick and
tired of every Tom, Dick and Jane promoting one
product or program after another.

Every idea or program we are going to talk about can
be done on the internet without a penny out of your
pocket. Really, it can!

But here is the $64,000.00 question, do you have the
time necessary to do the research, read all of the various
posts, sit down and check out every keyword possible
to create a money generating program?

Well, yes in theory you can. There are some free tools
that you can use like the vary limited free version of
wordtracker or spyfu. They both have limited trial versions
that will let you use them for free for a short time.

There is always Google and Google Trends and Adwords
free video series that teaches you the ins and outs of
adwords. It is the basic building block if you want to
become certified.

Charles Kirkland is Google Adwords Certified and he
really understands the ins and outs of keyword research
and marketing.

Both Charles and Scott made a conscious decision that
time is a valuable asset and once it is used, it can never
be recouped. We decided to go with the following tools
and use them every day.

Niche Empires — A wealth of PLR and MRR software and
courses that you can design for your benefit. A must have
if you want to generate a product and do it fast.

Aweber — An autoresponder that in our opinion is the
best on the market with the most features available and is
one of the least expensive to go with.

HostGator — A Hosting program for the beginner
and it is only $7.95 per month with unlimited disk space, band
width and hosting of domains. (Unlimited means NO LIMIT!)

MicroNicheFinder — A keyword research program that
is by far one of the best on the marketplace today, it will
show you niches for any keyword, competition, ad prices
and whether you should use that keyword using a traffic
light (Green, Yellow, Red) system.

Here is a video to describe the system…

Once you have watched the video, I am certain that you will
agree with us why you should get this program.

SEO Codebreaker — this program is a must have program
that will help you decipher how to use the search engines
for your benefit. It is a video course that will take both
newbies and pro’s alike and teach them how to dominate
search engines and get all the free traffic you can handle.

See you tomorrow,

Hoping You Have A Very Successful Day,

Never Say Never!

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Hi There,

Charles and Scott for another installment of your 8:01
marketing tips. I think you will like today’s tips and we
hope it will help you in your journey for more income.

How does it make you feel when people laugh at you?
What about when they call you names and think you
have absolutely lost it?

We all know that answer. Think back if you will, there
were two brothers that were from a small town in Michigan
who started a small business selling of all things, soap.

Their idea was to get folks together and sell soap to
families on a one on one basis and create a compensation
plan to pay several layers of management or recruiters.

This was 1956 and everyone laughed at the concept.
No one would be willing to sell soap to others door to
door. Why would they do such an odd thing?

Didn’t those crazy guys know that you could buy soap
at the grocery store or even at the corner convenience
store?

Of course, I am speaking about Jay and Rich DeVos,
co-founders of a little soap company you might have
heard about… Amway.

Or how about an old man with nothing more than a
station wagon and a recipe. He literally went to over
2000 places to pitch his recipe for fried chicken until
someone decided to give it a try.

That old man was Colonel Harlan Sanders of Kentucky
Fried Chicken Fame. He made many franchisees wealthy
with his little chicken recipe from Kentucky.

What has this got to do with Internet Marketing and
helping you achieve an income in 30 days or less?
Everything… read on and we will elaborate.

In the above examples, we mention household names
and everyone is aware of who they are. They had two
major things in common which I hope that you will
adopt.

First, they had a belief in their product and believed that
it would help others.

Secondly, they knew if they could just get someone to
listen and try what they were showing them they would
understand.

The same goes with your marketing efforts. If you truly
believe what you are offering to others will help them
greatly, and that it is a good product or program, then
like Amway and Kentucky Fried Chicken, you have a
winner on your hands.

Imagine for a moment though that Colonel Sanders
listened to all the pundits and naysayers and told him
that at age 72 he should just retire to an old folks home
and not talk about his chicken recipe.

What about the DeVos brothers from Michigan? What
if they just threw in the towel after talking to many families
who did not purchase their program.

How many lives have been changed by just these two
examples? It is very difficult to calculate but I would guess
in the hundreds of thousands.

Both of the entrepreneurs from different walks of life never
gave in to one basic human emotion. Frustration…

It is the same with your marketing efforts. Not every program
or system you attempt will knock it out of the ball park.

There will be some times that you are just saying to your
self… “I am so sick and tired of this process.” “I just
wish that someone would actually pay attention to what
I am trying to tell them.”

Trust us, we know exactly how you feel and have been there
time and time again. Just remember, it is darkest outside
just before the dawn, yet with each new day, someone,
somewhere is grateful that your message came to them.

We hope these words of confidence will help you in your
quest, however, remember without the tools that we recommended
to you, the quest is much harder.

Until tomorrow,

Charles and Scott

Two Basic Laws of Marketing

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Hi There,

Charles and Scott here again with another 8:01
installment of your marketing emails.

Something has really bothered me as of late and
it is that most folks are not aware of some basic
laws in marketing and sales.

There we go again, saying the dirty word… Sales.
Hey, if that is really the way you think about it,
then maybe this profession is not for you.

I mean nothing happens at all whether you are in
manufacturing, service or internet services until a
sale is made in some form or fashion.

I have already discussed with you how folks will
purchase from those folks they know, like and
trust, however what is the secret formula for that
to happen.

OK, I will go into this a bit deeper, however there
are two very basic strategies you need to discover
and use with your marketing plan.

First — Scarcity. This is a common emotion that can
be used extremely well if done properly. One thing I
want to add before I go ahead and tell you how it works.

Under no circumstances are you to fake scarcity! If
you say there are only 499 copies left, then cut off the
promotion when number 499 is sold — or close enough
to that number. You will have made a bunch of money.

In that manner, don’t get greedy, if something is selling
well and you have promised to cut it off at 499, dont keep
selling the product just to make a buck.

I am sure we have all seen the basic sales page that
advertises there is only 500 copies… 315 no only 264 left
as of this writing. If that is the case, you as the promoter
owe your paying customers, that honesty and integrity
with ending the promo when you have hit your numbers.

Secondly — Reciprocity. What this means is when you
offer something of value to a potential client or customer
and don’t charge for it… no strings attached.

Think of it this way, have you ever gotten a letter from a
charity and there was a $1 or $5 bill inside of the envelope
as a gift. How did that make you feel?

Well, there were probably 2 emotions that popped up. Glad
that you got a $1 or $5 bill, but at the same time a bit of
guilt came over you.

You probably deep down inside thought, this charity can
not afford to send me money, I should be sending them
money to feed the starving children of antartica… or some
other place.

You think some more after you read the letter and see the
pictures of the poor starving kids or abused animals or
homeless people in your city, and decide to send a check
to the charity for $50 or $100 or even $10.

Charities really understand this concept and it can be quite
effective in dealing with any of you customers or clients.

You want to be careful, you do not want to abuse this system,
if the prospect or customer thinks that they are being
manipulated, it can backfire on you big time.

Changing the subject, Charles and I are in the process of
creating a course designed to teach everyone from Newbie
stage to old pro how to create an information product from
scratch quickly and profitably.

Why do we mention this? We need your input. If there is
anything you would like to see us include in our course or
if you have any nagging questions you want answered, please
comment on the blog or send us a reply email.

Until tomorrow,

Charles and Scott


Hoping You Have A Very Successful Day,

All the wicked armies at ROBLOX are wicked sick on the brilliant universe ROBLOX

Insanity… Please Help

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Hi There,

Charles and Scott here for another installment of
our timely tips to help you make money within 30 days
or less.

Today I would like to address a couple of questions that
we have gotten on a repeating basis.

First, we constantly get questions like this one, “Can you
really help me start making money? I have spent so much
money on different programs and haven’t really made any
to speak of.”

Next question that I hear regularly, “What do I need to do
to monetize and start getting an income from Google?”

OK, let’s take a look at both of these questions together.
There is one common strand to each of them.

I bet you already know the answer… NO MONEY!

Everyone knows who was arguably the smartest person
on the planet… Albert Einstein, Right?

He had one thing he was really famous for… OK maybe more
than one, but he was known for the formula E=MC2. Now
I bet you have no idea what that means and neither do I, yet
if you ask an astro-physicist, they could go on and on about
the answer.

Now, what does that have to do with me? You are losing me
here and I can’t seem to get the connection.

Hang on, the other thing that Einstein was famous for was his
definition of insanity… “Doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results.”

My point is, if you want to change your style of living or your
job status, you have to do things differently than before. You
can never achieve the things you want in life by living status
quo.

You need the tools that we recommended to you, yet many of
you just brushed off the email as another pitch to make money.
Sorry you feel that way, we really want to help you, however if
you don’t know or have the basic tools that is tough to do.

It was the same with Einstein when he came up with his famous
theory of relativity, E=MC2. He faced extreme ridicule when
he first published this because he was thinking outside of the
norms in his day.

Even though I have no idea what that theory is or what effect it
has on me, I am certain that it definitely was earth shattering
when it was published.

It is the same for you. I am certain that you will be ridiculed by
your peers and friends if you tell them you are going to market
widgets on the internet.

They will say things like… “You are wasting your time and money.”
“Yeah, that internet thing is a scam.” “So how much did you make
yesterday, huh? I told you it was a scam.”

With that being said, does that make you feel rejected or scared?
Or, are you like me, It makes me just want to show them how stupid
their comments are.

OK, with all that being said, Charles and I would like some help from
you. We can tell you all of the things to do to make an income, however
if there are particular things you want to know but have been scared
or intimidated in asking, we want to know what they are.

So… will you help us help you? We have already told you what tools
you will really need to get to make a quick dent in the vast marketplace.

Please send us an email or comment on the blog, we can’t answer your
questions unless you ask them.

To your future success… and we really want that for you,

Charles and Scott

Making Money & How To Put It Together…The Easy Way.

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Hi there,

Charles and Scott here for another 8:01 installment of your
tips to increase your sales and income in the next 30 days

This email is probably going to be a little bit long.
Please bear with me… this is good info.

Today, I am going to get down to brass tacks
and let you know exactly what steps you need
to take and what you can expect to spend.

Some of the things that I have recommended to you in the
past have been Google Trends, Free WordTracker Service,
Spyfu and numerous other tools that will help you get
started.

Let’s be honest with each other. You can only go so far
with your business with Free tools. They can get you
started, however, you must invest not only time, energy
but some money as well.

Don’t get scared, I am only talking about less than $250
and that is it. But if you choose not to get these tools,
you make it much harder on yourself.

I have found that when someone decides to generate an income
they can do it several ways, probably these are two of the
most common.

First, they can sell pre-made affiliate products. Get a domain
name, set up a re-direct and direct traffic to purchase
the product for a commission. Sometimes as high as 75% or
more.

This has benefits, however bottom line, you are helping generate
a list for someone else and you are not reaping the benefits.

The next way is to generate your own product.

This is where most new folks on the internet get scared and lost.

There are literally thousands of niches that you can discover
that folks want more information about. If you are willing to
do the research, you can find a product in a day or less.

It is not hard to do. Take for example a search on Google for
Private Label Rights (PLR). You will discover that there are 4.5 million
pages that are returned with all types of programs available.

I have had a big success with PLR as well as Master Resale
Rights products. It is very easy to set up a domain name,
create a squeeze page and start to reap both an income from
the sale of a product as well as build a list of buyers.

You can literally be up and in business in less than 2 hours
if you can follow some simple directions.

I am going to recommend to you that you invest in your
business. For $67 you can subscribe for a full 6 months into
NicheEmpires.

The next tool that is imperative and a must have for your business
is an auto-responder. The marketplace is full of them, however
after weighing in on all the different ones and options and up-time
reliability I have personally gone with Aweber.

Click here to get Aweber

OK, here is the last thing you have to have. A hosting account.
I use Host Gator. They have a program for the beginner
and it is only $7.95 per month with unlimited disk space, band
width and hosting of domains. (Unlimited means NO LIMIT!)

Click here to get a hosting account

I chose Host Gator for several reasons, First and foremost
their reliability (they use 6 separate servers in separate locations
for safety purposes). Next, they have 24/7 support where you can
chat live with a real person who can help you.

Last reason is probably the most important, when you are in the
process of making any changes to your web site, they have CPanel
and Fantastico. I am not going to describe that now, however
you will need them when you get going on your project.

Ok, there are two more tools that you will need and they deal with
keywords and research of the market place.

Micro Niche Finder is a tool that is amazing. Not only will it tell
you the niches associated with any keyword you choose, it will
tell you how many folks are advertising and whether you should
pursue that niche using a Red Green or Yellow system. It costs
$97 and is available here:

Click here to get Micro Niche Finder

Of course the last tool that you will need is a course on how to get
all the free traffic you can think of. It will allow you to dominate the
marketplace and get you generic listings on Google if you follow
directions. It is called SEO Codebreaker. It costs $37

Click here to get SEO CodeBreaker

OK so let’s total everything up shall we?
$97 Niche Empires
$19.95 Aweber
$7.95 Host Gator
$67 MicroNiche Finder
$37 SEO codebreaker
$228.90 Total investment.

So let’s recap, for less than $250 you can get everything you need
to develop an on going income that can generate up to a hundred dollars
or more per day in your pocket. Of course that figure depends on
what you charge for your PLR or MRR product that you will sell.

Here is the very best part of this whole program. You will be developing
a list of buyers as well as interested individuals.

The list you develop could easily develop into tens of thousands of
folks who are interested in your programs. I personally was able to
generate a list of over 40,000 buyers in under 9 months with the system
that I freely give to you.

The next move is up to you, however I have outlined your action
steps. Oh, one last thing, all the tools I recommended to you
are the ones I personally use and trust.

Those programs are as important to me as a hammer is to a carpenter
or a wrench is to a mechanic or a scalpel to a surgeon.

So what are you waiting for, Action takers are the ones who make
money.

You can do it now and walk the walk or just BS about it and talk the
talk.

The biggest question is, which one are you? Are you a talker or are
you a walker?

Looking forward to hearing about your success!!

Why Some Succeed and Some Don’t

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Hi There,

Charles and Scott here for another 8:01 installment of your
tips to increase your sales and income in the next 30 days.

We currently get a bunch of varied questions that can be
summed up by the following statement:

What am I doing wrong, because I am not making any money
on the net? I have purchased thousands of dollars of
ebooks and programs and I am still not making any money.

Let me start by saying if you can relate to this, you are
definitely not alone. Yet, believe it or not, it is not
the teachers fault, this time or at least 9 times out of 10
the problem lies with you and your work ethic.

We warned you that the information we were going to send
out might strike a nerve and might be painful for you to hear.

I am by no means calling you lazy. Actually it is quite
the opposite. We think you are very diligent in your quest to
earn some money and get out of the rat race you are stuck in.

In your quest, you probably have been distracted. What we
mean is, you are constantly plagued to buy the newest and
greatest program on the market today.

Stop it.

You don’t need to purchase any more stuff except
for the basics to actually really start making some money.

There is one thing that you need to do, and that is
concentrate on one thing, learn it, get good at it, know
everything there is to know about it and then do it.

There it is, like Nike says “Just Do It!”

It doesn’t matter what it is.

Just take action. If you have purchased programs in the
past,did you use them? Or, are they sitting on your hard
drive just slowing your computer down?

We were talking with a good friend of ours that launched a
product in January. He was telling us how much of a
problem it was with people calling him and asking him stupid
questions.

I know, I know, there are no stupid questions, however when
folks want to know how to cut and paste or what right click
means,that is kind of foolish.

You can not expect anyone to teach you common sense things
like cutting and pasting or using Windows basic commands.

You have to take the time to research how to use your computer.

We don’t mean to step on any toes here, however if the shoe
fits, you might want to invest some time in your own personal
computer education before you blame the teacher for not making
a product on a kindergarten level.

If you don’t know how to use your computer, then take the
initiative and sign up for Video Professor, they have
videos to teach you the basics of computers.

I digress, what I wanted to really get across was, if you
have a program that is legitimate and useful, take the time
to completely go through it and follow the steps that are
outlined for you.

Yes, there are variations to making money on the web. If
making a product scares you, it really shouldn’t. A good
idea basically consists of something that will save time
and energy for a segment of the internet population.

A good product is one that will let you automate the
mundane tasks and make money for you while you are away or
asleep.

I can hear it now, the recent push for Mass Control 2.0 has
been flooding everyone’s in box. Why did it sell out so
quickly?

Well for two reasons. First, it was a good product with
good information from an expert in making money on the web.

Secondly, because it appealed to an audience that was
looking for an answer on how to make money, when in fact
they had it in front of them all along.

We hope that this information has caused you to reconsider
making money and realize with guidance, you can be in a position
to leave your 9 to 5 grind behind you.

However it is up to you and no one else.

Looking forward to chatting with you tomorrow morning.

Charles and Scott
