For the past several months, I have been focused on making $xxx per month.

Everyone tells you to set CLEAR goals, right?

It’s goal setting 101 – be clear and specific.

So an income goal seems to be very clear, right?

“Make $300 per day” or a more specific example “make $100 per day on autopilot in my clickbank account”.

Or something like that.

Seems clear enough right?

That’s what I’ve done up until… right about since the beginning of this month really.

It’s like a lightswitch went off in my head…

I’ve realized that income goals are TOO FUZZY. They may seem to ve perfectly clear and specific on the surface, but really they are the opposite.

You say “I want to make $100 a day”… your subconscious mind (the part of your brain responsible for bringing your goals into reality) instantly fires back… “Why?”

You want money? Heck, it’s just paper or some numbers on a screen.

Realize this: Your subconscious mind is not a logically thinking creature.

In other words:

Your subconscious mind sees no practicality in making this money, and therefore gives this goal no attention.

But you say “But once I have this money I’ll be able to do this, this and this! I’ll be so happy!”

Yeah, good luck telling your subconscious that.

Here’s what happened for me.

I’m 15 now. Since about mid-June, I decided I wanted a moped. This one to be specific.

Without realizing it… it became the focus of my subconsious mind. A real goal. Something tangible. Now my subconscious could easily see the benefits of acquiring this. Easy transportation, getting to school in 5 mins, not having to wait for the bus, freedom, fun.

Now after setting a CONCRETE SOLID TANGIBLE goal… what’s the difference?

Well, in the last few days alone:

Affiliate sales:

Flipped a website for the first time ever:

And on top of that, I just WON $1500 in Howie’s JV Cash Competition for IM Remarkable. This is from the recent email sent out to JV partners.

Yep… all this from a simple shift in thinking. This is more than enough to afford that moped, and I’m most likely picking it up next week.

That’s over $6k in a few days.

Now I’m not telling you this to brag, not at all. But merely to demonstrate the difference made from a simple shift in the way I set my goals.

Hope you got something out of this.

Cheers,

Linus

READ THIS

Yep, the FTC is trying to kill 90% of affiiate marketers’ businesses.

Basically, if you endorse something without telling whoever is reading it that you might get paid or whatever, the FTC will drop the hammer. Or whatever it is they do.

“Online, if you think that somebody is providing you with independent advice and … they have an economic motive for what they’re saying, that’s information a consumer should know.”

What a bunch of crap.

In my opinion, it’s still the ‘consumer’s choice to pull out their freaking credit card in the first place.

It’s not like we force people to do anything, we just kind of point them in the right direction.

“BUY THIS NOW THROUGH THIS LINK OR I WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN!!!11!!1!”

No, it’s not like that.

And oh, I found this amusing:

So parents keeping blogs to update family members on their child’s first steps technically would fall under the FTC guidelines, though they likely would have little to worry about unless they accept payments or free products and write about them.

But they would need to think twice if, for instance, they praise parenting books they’ve just read and include links to buy them at a retailer like Amazon.com Inc.

That’s because the guidelines also would cover the broader and common practice of affiliate marketing, in which bloggers and other sites get a commission when someone clicks on a link that leads to a purchase at a retailer. In such cases, merchants also would be responsible for actions by their sales agents — including a network of bloggers.

Amazon declined to comment.

Bwah.

Whatchu think?

Is it really possible to build an entire LinkWheel in 5 minutes?

When I first released my now infamous LinkWheel report I was boasting that I was able to complete a LinkWheel in ‘only’ 30 minutes. (If you don’t have it yet, it’s pretty much a must have… get it HERE)

That was by doing everything manually (except for social bookmarking, pinging and adding to RSS directories… that with 3 different tools).

I would load up six tabs with 6 different web 2.0 properties, create my account on each tab in order… go to my newly created gmail account and confirm all of my accounts.

I would go into each tab and post my content and link them all together. Then into each tab again and change minor setting.

Then off to my bookmarking tool and bookmark all of them. Then to my pinging tool and ping all the RSS feeds, and finally I would go and add all the feeds to RSS directories.

1. Create accounts at a minimum of six Web 2.0 content sharing sites or blogs.
2. Post unique or spun articles to each of the six properties. (requires six different unique or semi-unique articles)
3. Interlink all the six web 2.0 properties in a LinkWheel manner.
4. Each of the properties come with an RSS feed, so find the feed and ping it.
5. Add the RSS feeds to 20+ RSS directories.
6. Bookmark all of the properties to 30+ social bookmarking sites.

Time taken: just about 30-35 minutes most of the time.

But erm… 5 minutes?

Enter SEnuke.

See, a few days ago I got an email from a guy named Areeb. He said that using his special software he was able to make a LinkWheel in 5 minutes.

Before he said what it was even called I knew I had to have it.

In any case, the software is called SENuke, and Areeb is the creator of it.

==> Ready to NUKE some sh*t up?

All of the steps mentioned above… that I used to do manually…

Well, it automates that.

Everything from account creation, to posting the content, even interlinking the properties, bookmarking, pinging the RSS feeds and adding them to RSS directories.

Other than that it has a ton more features such as powerful Niche Research capabilities, keyword research tools (including a built in ‘difficulty level indicator), SERP analyzer, ability to re-post to previous web 2.0 properties with a click (for long term rankings) and video submission to the top 14 (and growing) video sites.

Erm yeah… that’s alot.

It pretty much automates the entire LinkWheel.

==> Click here to get your LinkWheels made 10x as fast

Also, if you buy it through my link above, I will also throw in a bonus detailing a complete traffic strategy for how to use SENuke together with my LinkWheel methodology.

==> SENuke = Money 10x as fast

Also… last time I talked to Areeb, he had about 900 members… and it caps out at 1000. So that means that there’s less than 100 spots left so you might wanna hurry up.

If you’re a bit unsure, try the 7 day free trial first, you’ll still get my bonus cause I’m nice like that, lol.

Anyway,

to claim your bonus after you’ve ordered, just forward your order receipt to bonus [at] lemonarian.com and I’ll send it right back to ya.

==> Here’s the link again… click it and become an instant trillionaire. Really.

That’s about it.

Peace out,
Linus

P.S. When I said that there were only 80 spots left, that’s not just some scarcity tactic… it’s for real. So well, hurry up if you want to do all your traffic work about 10x as fast…

==> So let’s NUKE some sh*t up!

Hey guys. Yes, the link above is my cleverly disguised affiliate link for the upcoming launch of Alex Goad’s Google Conquest.

And if you know me, you know that whenever Alex Goad puts something out, I get my hands on it, and promote it to anyone I can (usually with a PIMP-ass bonus to go along).

No it’s not greed, it’s helpfulness – because pretty much everything he’s put out has been PRETTY darn frakking awesome.

And he’s at it again.

In the video above he talks about the previous release of Google Conquest… I was in on it.

My personal opinion of it?

The last Internet Marketing program you would ever need. Period.

Not exaggerating that.

So hey, I don’t want to sound too hypey on this, but it’s truly my honest opinion.

And here’s a secret… you know my upcoming big course, Project One Hundred?

(if you don’t know anything about it yet it’s basically my complete blueprint to get to $100 a day really quickly)

…well, a lot of it is kind of based on what I learnt inside Google Conquest, just applied differently.

So well, this is WHAT I DO.

Don’t wanna drag this out for too long… but just watch the video and tell me what you think OK?

If it sounds good to you, you can get some more info on it and some free goodies if you sign up on the right there. I would.

Well that’s it for now.

Peace,
Linus

P.S. When this thing actually launches… IF you buy it through my link, you will get the ENTIRE Project One Hundred course for free  as a bonus for buying through me… BEFORE every one else even gets a hint of what’s in it. And if you want, a free spot in the P100 Beta Tester group if you’re up for it.

But for now, just watch the video and sign up here:

A while back I got one of the EzineArticles.com newsletters, maybe you remember it, where it said that the average ClickThrough rate (CTR) on resource boxes within the site is around 12%.

Yes, 12%.

That’s just… pathetic, I thought. And I considered posting this here then but I was busy and thought that I would do it later.

Unfortunately it’s where most people are at. If you’re unclear on what this means, that’s basically the percentage of people who view an article who then clicks through to the author’s website.

So anyway, today I got another email, from the ‘head Bum’ – inventor of the Bum Marketing Method who basically started this article marketing craze in the first place.

He said that he had this awesome trick he just found out that boosted one of his articles up to a whopping 34%!!!

…meh.

Really, Travis? 34%?

———————————————————–
And it was a trick I’ve known for ages and it’s basically is: keep your article short, as close to 250 words as possible (the minimum word count) and then really sell the click in the resource box.

You want the link to hit them as SOON as possible. If you must go on for 300+ words, at least keep the link ABOVE THE FOLD.

That’s about it, except I explained it better, lol.
———————————————————–

I have tons more of these tricks. In fact I AVERAGE 30% -55% CTR on all my article submissions to EzineArticles. I’ve gotten over 60% at times.

If you include the dozens of submissions I did as a complete noob, my average CTR for all my articles combined is actually just around 30%.

Want proof?

Yep, do the math.

———————————————————–
So here’s the deal.

I have a little report I wrote a while back called ‘Article Marketing Awesomeness’ and it pretty much reveals all of my cutting-edge tactics for generating CTRs of over 50%+ and a whole bunch ofstuff on how to maximize your article marketing efforts.

That’s about it, I think it sounds pretty good actually.

If you follow what’s inside it, I’ll teach you exactly how to structure your article and how to write your articles and resource boxes for maximum results.

First of all, yes, of course I’m selling something here, that’s kind of like my job… BUT I think it will be a very VERY good deal for you.

Okay, so as you may know Howie Schwartz latest craziness is called his ‘Bathroom Bonanza’ and it’s his latest firesale.

http://lemonarian.com/likes/bathroombonanza/

I actually just checked it out myself and well, to be fair it’s nothing short of awesome-tastic.

Really.

Remember the LinkWheel? My little creation is spreading around like wildfire and I get success stories almost every day from people using it successfully. It’s almost like a standard term in Internet Marketing now, I’ve actually seen professional SEOs use it as part of their services. Really.

I have a little confession to make though.

The majority of what I know about Web 2.0 and using it to get crazy rankings in Google – I have learnt from Howie Schwartz.

In fact, the LinkWheel itself was inspired directly by the teachings of Howie.

So I admit it, when it comes to web 2.0 – he is the MASTER. When Howie talks about traffic… you BETTER listen.

———————————————————–
So how’s this:

You check out Howie’s latest firesale -it’s delivers like CRAZY and if you can’t make your (tiny) investment back at least 10x by using his methods I’d be surprised.

If you order through my link I will GIVE you my exclusive “Article Marketing Awesomeness” report free of charge as a bonus.

So how about getting some CRAZY rankings with all these different Web 2.0 sites, all the while combining it with article marketing to drive thousands of visitors to your websites?

You can even use my article marketing tactics ON your web 2.0 properties. So for example… how would you like everyone that visits one of your squidoo lenses to click over to YOUR site where YOU make the money?

Well… sounds like a good deal to me at least.

So here’s what I want you to do next:

1. Go to Howie’s Bathroom Bonanza and order through THIS LINK:
==> http://lemonarian.com/likes/bathroombonanza/

(if you don’t order at least get the freebies!)

2. Forward your purchase receipt from Howie to me at
contact@lemonarian.com

3. Wait for the delivery of your bonus. Keep in mind that I’ll reply back with it from the same email it was sent from… if you want me to send it somewhere else, please specify that in the email. Shouldn’t take more than 24 hours.

That’s it for now, ENJOY THIS ONE!!

For those of you who didn’t know, yes, I really am just 15. Oh wow.

Got some new shoes (Nike 6.0 ‘Mavrk’) which are totally awesome. I laced them in a weird kind of way where the knot ends up in the center which looks kinda funky.

We ate the national dish of Korea ‘Bulgogi’ – which is like the awesomest food ever. Looks like this.

We were going to eat a dessert we call ‘marängsviss’ (don’t know the english word lol) but we were like really full so we’re just gonna do that tomorrow instead.

Ermm… don’t know what else to say really, lol. Just thought that this deserved its own post.

Durn, practically gave it away already.

Oh well, so here’s the secret:

Add a tiny little [secret 'Product Name' link] somewhere on your page…. where it looks like it’s SUPPOSED to be hidden or something, but is in fact very visible.

Like this: CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

Okay… now look on the bottom right.

Exactly.

Just add one of those to your landing page and watch your affiliate clicks soar…

Do you have ANY idea of how damn CURIOUS people are?

;)

Last night trying to sleep, at about 3.30 am I came up with this. Project One Hundred 2.0.

This time, it’s not about making $100 per day. The idea here is to be making 100 SALES per day.
Yeah, do the math.

But uhm… there will be a looooong time until any of you will get this, cause heck, version 1.0 isn’t even finished.

The system requires a fair sized outsourcing team and quite a lot of investment (a couple thousand $ probably, don’t know really though, haven’t done the math…)

I worked a bit more on this during the last class of the day in school today. The class was just THAT exciting you see. I’m still acing that subject so whatever lol.

Anyway, here’s a sneak peek into v2.0… made by me in class today.

Pics taken with a camera phone!

So yeah, kind of a ‘boredom’ blog post today, but hey… you might get your hands on this system sometime in the pretty distant future…hah.

Peace.

Linus

So, it’s an awesome theme with a ton of features, so even though I like the way this site looks like now… I’m just gonna upgrade this site too. Or well, I’mma switch it to the FlexSqueeze theme too, anyway.

So if the blog acts up a bit in the next couple of minutes (hours) – that’s just me messing around…

Cheers people.

Linus

However, today I’ve started my own personal beta test of the system…

And you?
