Overcoming the Google SlapSome Good News for Landing Pages…

Have you been struggling to get your site back to the top of the PPC engines?

Are you getting pushed around with ridiculously high bid prices for your best “Money-Terms” that used to bring in all the cash?

Or perhaps you’re “Suggested Bid Price” is fluctuating so frequently you can’t tell if it’s mapped to a tide chart or a yoyo.

If any of the following describe your symptoms of pain and frustration, you need to read this great article by Jerry West:

How to Dominate and Win Affiliate Marketing With Them

[… Landing Pages are the weapon of choice for Affiliate Marketers. Marketers who do not employ Landing Pages either do not understand the concept, or they are just plain lazy. Usually, it is the latter. Laziness is often contagious and it is often why 98% of Affiliate Marketers fail to earn over $1,000.00 a month. …]

Templatizing & Systemizing Your Business

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

Process MapsI want to highlight an incredibly valuable lesson that most people have probably heard of but either never fully grasped the power of, or simply never acted upon these principles to empower their own business.

It’s called “Installing Systems and Infrastructure”

Ask yourself how much time you spend “Working On Your Business” VS. “Working In Your Business“?

Then ask yourself when the last time you sat down and either wrote out, planned, reviewed or created any of the following for yourself, your staff, an employee or an outsourced contractor…

  • Systems
  • Checklists
  • Process Maps
  • Policies
  • Guidelines
  • Instruction Manuals
  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
  • Style Guide

Or any other template driven process in your business.

Let’s illustrate this with an example from my own business.

Take Two: The $20 Million Dollar Story

Remnant SpaceEarlier today I made a post about something that’s going to make history and be talked about in the upper echelons of the top 1% of all Internet marketers and online business owners for years to come.

This is so important that I’m going to feature this subject again. Sinse writing my previous post I’ve re-read this salesletter 3 more times (which is more of a story than a salesletter anyway.

Here is another small sliver of Gold that I managed to extract the 3rd time through.

It’s called “Remnant Space”…

Remnant Space is also referred to in the industry as “Last Minute Advertising” and this is where you can get some wicked good deals and stretch your ad budget as much as 1,000% or more with just one or two deals.

What do these 10 people have in common?

Get Altitude with Eban PaganSheila, Chance, Shannon, David, BoRyan, Ralph, Rob, Brad, Andrew and Joanne.

They all work for 1 man (who I’ll expose to you in just a moment.)

But first…

You need to ask the more important question of “What”.

Jim Collins, the author of the amazing book Good To Great has a saying:

“First WHO, then WHAT.”

The answers to some of the most pressing issues most businesses are grasping at straws and trying to solve are hidden within the WHAT.

So I want to you to read the following page very carefully word for word, then as you see each name ask your self…

WHAT is it that this person does for living, WHAT are they responsible for and WHAT could having someone like them on my team do for my business in the next 6 months”.

Double Your AltitudeLast week I outlined a great video and business marketing quiz to check out. I’ve had a tremendous amount of great feedback from people that took the quiz and downloaded the free software that allows you to create your own landing page quizzes.

Well, by now if you haven’t heard of Eban Pegan, the creator of the Altitude program, then I advise you to pay attention to this guy.

He’s young, has an incredibly sharp mind and he’s even making the gurus think twice about how they operate their business and their marketing campaigns.

If you own your own business, chances are you either have employees or you’re hoping to get some soon.

Test Your Internet Marketing Skills

Marketing QuizI have a confession to make…

I’ve been hiding under a rock for the past month. (What’s new?! ;-) )

You see I’ve been working 18 hour days for nearly a month on a new web site I’m about to launch (and no it’s not another Internet Marketing product).

I’ve started to develop some high-end eCommerce storefronts and break into untapped niche markets. (Very exciting stuff).

But that’s not why I’m emailing you today.

I’ve got my head down and I’m extremely focused on some huge projects but I received an email yesterday from a friend of mine that was asking me to give him my opinion on this new product he’s launching (it’s currently in beta).

After checking out what he’s put together I was blown away by how powerful it is yet so incredibly simple that even my grandmother could use it. So I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know about this free software while it’s still in beta.

I don’t want to spoil the fun but I’ll give you a hint, it’s a new way of doing website landing pages (AKA Opt-in or Shy-Yes pages) that increases conversion.

Very interesting stuff.

He’s also put together a great business analysis quiz that you can take. It gives you a custom 5-page report with all kinds of cool tips for growing your business.

Anyway, you need to go download it this free software while the Beta is still available. When you go to this page, you can take the business quiz, watch a great video that teaches you some marketing lessons, and download the software:

Make sure you go ALL THE WAY THROUGH this site. Because just by observing what he’s doing is a fantastic lessons in and of itself, but the free software makes it a crazy-good deal.
