Cover Your Internet @SS!

Mark — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:40:16 +0000

OK, if you've been in the Internet Marketing game and have started making money, the following checklist should seem basic to you:

[ ] Product or service buyers want
[ ] Website (duh!)
[ ] Traffic (preferably lots of it and cheap)
[ ] Conversion (always improving that, right?)
[ ] List (you have one, I hope)
[ ] A growing income that lets you live your Dream

Yeah, if you're profitable online, you probably have these six items checked.

But what about this one?

[ ] Cover your @ss

What do I mean by that?

It's simple.

Have you protected your business and yourself against lawsuits and government agencies that would love to shut you down, strip you of your assets, and toss your butt in Club Fed?

If not, you need to look past "the Dream" and open your eyes to the nightmare side of Internet Marketing.

Here's a golden nugget all successful guys & gals in business have learned (offline and online)…

If you're making money, someone will try to take it from you.

Might be tomorrow, might be a few years from now.

But it will happen.

That someone could be a competitor, an unhappy customer, or the government.

Lawsuits can bankrupt you, even if you win. At best, they steal valuable time from your business. At worst, they'll leave you deeply in debt, stripped of everything you have.

As for government agencies taking an interest in your business, I have two words that should send a shiver down your spine:

JAIL TIME!

But there's a way to protect yourself and I think it's "a deal you can't refuse." So much so that

Unless you're a complete idiot.

And, yeah, there's a bunch of those in business.

If you're not one of those idiots, take a look at what Attorney Mike Young, President of the Internet Attorneys Association LLC, put together for online marketers.

Mike represents some of the most successful online marketers in the business. But he's not cheap.
Yah, if you have to ask you can NOT afford him…. I asked! LOL

Many marketers who haven't hit the big time simply can't afford to hire him.

And Mike knows this, which is why he decided to put this together.

It's a low-cost legal forms software package that protects you from most trouble in 17 minutes or less! (psst … I actually did min in under 9 minutes)

No need to steal forms from other marketers and risk getting sued by them.

Plus, having proper legal forms on your site & ebooks will improve SEO and reduce your PPC costs.

My buddy, Joel Therien, the Founder of GVO, actually beat up on Mike for a BETTER "Bundle" Price, just for you!

Pick up your Internet Marketers Legal Bundle right now and cover your @ss!

Blog Tax, WHAT?

Mark — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:44:23 +0000

I got up this morning, like usual, went to my office, grabbed a coffee and fired up the computer. Basically no different than any other day. Part of my routine is scanning through the overnight email that floods into my inbox.

I usually do a quick scan, delete the crap and then review the rest.

This morning was a little different because I had not one, but, TWO emails that stood out to me.

One was from well known Internet Attorney, Michael Young. I use Michael's Software & Services to assist in keeping my blog and sites compliant. I also subscribe to Michael's newsletter to stay on top of Internet Law.

The other email was from Mashable. I subscribe to Mashable to keep up with the latest NEWS in Technology and more specifically the Internet.

I could not believe what I was reading.

I said out loud (to myself) "A BLOG TAX …… Give me a break!"

Here is screen shot of Michael's email:

Now I do not know about you … but, a BLOG Tax is just RIDICULOUS!

This really has me FIRED UP!

Follow The Leader – Is CHANGE Good?

Follow The Leader – Is CHANGE Good?

Recently I decided to make a big change here on my blog.

You see I went to my friend, Mike Filsaime's, new website called AffiliateDotCom (see screenshot) and found something that absolutely drove me nuts!

His "comments" section on his new product launch site was freakin' awesome. I had only seen one other person using this and figured, I gotta have it!

After all, if Uber Sucessfull, Mike Filsaime, was using this nifty "Comments" plug in… it HAD to be something.

Well, those of you that know me realize that when I get on to something, I do not give up until I have what I want or gain the knowledge to get what it is that I saw.

After several phone calls and some research I realized this was a "programmers" job of adding this new feature to my blog! At least for me it was as I am not patient enough to just slow down and do it myself.

So, I emailed my buddy, Dustin Ward (a great programmer), and "BANG" 6 hours later it was up and running on my site.

Now… there were some minor trade offs here…. BUT … my question is ..

Am I paving the way for the future with Blogging, Social Networking & Viral marketing?

NOW, believe me … I probably could have installed this on my blog, myself. As a matter of fact, Dustin posted instructions on HIS site that tell you how. You can check it out HERE.
(pssst… ask him and he will do it for ya for a tiny fee)

Anyway, I guess my whole point is –

I made a MAJOR decision here on my blog on blind faith.
FOLLOW THE LEADER ….

Will my new comments section lead they way?

All I know is, I always have said - "Do what Successful People Do, and Success Will Follow You!"

I figure, Mike Filsaime, with ALL his Success, must KNOW something that I do not!

PLEASE – do me a favor … LEAVE A COMMENT! & Hit That FaceBook LIKE Button! :)

Tell me if Change is Good in this instance or …. well up to you?

Are You Freaking MAD?

Mark — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 01:52:10 +0000

The M.A.D. Marketing Method
"It's NOT Always About Making A Profit – It's About Making A DIFFERENCE!" … Mark Call

When you're trying to start any type of business online, marketing is a crucial step in learning to become successful. There are tons of marketing courses and products online, but nothing comes close to what M.A.D. marketing provides. I delivered a fine technique in showing you how you can become a true marketer in not only making a profit, but also giving back to your customers.

So the question that you should ask yourself, "Are you freaking MAD?"

What is MAD Marketing?

MAD (Make A Difference) marketing was designed, by me – so that you as a marketer cannot only just make a profit, but also make a difference in someone else's life. Internet marketers of every kind always focus about themselves and what type of profit that they can be making if they focus on their projects. That is good, but that's not enough to make you a true marketer as you also what to give back to the customer and turn it into a win-win situation. If anything, this will be not just one of the best techniques of 2010, but most likely from internet marketing in general.

Who Can Benefit From The MAD Marketing Method?

Everyone can benefit from this whether you're a person working on an email list, blogger, affiliate marketer, etc. As long as you are working on the internet, you can benefit from this technique. Always give the truth out to your potential customers. Why? Because in return, they'll see that you are not trying to use them to make a profit for yourself and that you are considered the real deal.

Why Should YOU Follow this Technique?

Think of how you can sleep at night knowing that you didn't have to lie to people to make a profit for yourself. That's how a true marketer should be able to run their business online. It's okay to talk about both the pros and cons of a certain product. In actuality, people like that as they feel that they can rely on you and your site to deliver what they want to see and compare versus just making every product out there seem too good to be true.

Your goal, like mine, is to be notorious online as a true M.A.D. marketer.

So stop worrying about being that number one site on Google by continuously pinging your sites. Don't worry about the false tales you've been told such as you have to be a super internet guru in order to bring profits. The number one thing you should worry about, is only thinking about yourself or your pocketbook in the end.
Keep your readers, customers, subscribers NEEDS number one and YOU will WIN!

Are You Guaranteed To Make More Money From This?

Whatever type of money you make depends heavily on how much effort you put into customers & M.A.D. Marketing. Now, I am not promising you that you can make millions overnight, but I hope to give you a road to follow on how to become successful with you are doing. What one individual can make from this could differ than what another individual will make, but you will be able to see how you can improve your marketing skills just by even the slightest things like saying to yourself, "how will this impact my customer?"

Communication Is Key To On-Line Success

Communication Is Key To On-Line Success - by Mark Call

Communicating online can be difficult. It's very easy to fall into type and send mode without taking a minute to proofread and ensure that your real message and intention is being correctly conveyed. There are some easy steps you can take before hitting that send button as; after all, you can't unsay what you say online.

Set your tone. Since online is a format in which we're all generally strangers and we can't see one another, tone is exceedingly difficult to communicate effectively here. Whether you're writing to an acquaintance in e-mail or posting a response to a controversial issue in a forum, determine what tone you're really trying to convey and be really careful when wording your post to keep that tone uniform throughout. Avoid sarcasm and innuendo as both are commonly lost or misunderstood in any cyberspace format.

Abide by the general guideline that if you wouldn't say it aloud in real life, don't type it online. Period. After all, even if you're writing under a pseudonym, an individual can truly still figure out who you are and it can come back around to you sooner or later. When writing, consider all the politicians and public figures that have been caught grumbling what they thought was an indelicate comment under their breath within microphone distance; it's essentially the same thing.

Proofread, reread and if you're angry or emotional, step away and return later to read your post once again before sending. The worst time to send an e-mail or a response to somebody you're disagreeing with online is when you're upset you'll without doubt type and send something you'll want to unsay later.

Prevent discriminatory content and cussing. There's nothing more off-putting than a poorly worded comment with misspelled curse words and terrible grammar that then as well insults whole groups of individuals in one swipe. It's far better to be civilized, concise, respectful and knowledgeable even if you're responding to somebody else who's being crude, ridiculous and scornful. Pick the high road.

Be personal and universal at the same time. This is doable and by this I mean that you are able to still be yourself without letting out personal information. If you include your own twist on a topic in your own voice, that will always make you more personable and approachable online.

If you're posting it online merely for the sake of producing a stir, quit. I truly wish that every other individual posting online would take this into consideration.

Change Your Association, Change Your Life!

Mark — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:24:19 +0000

You ARE Who YOU Associate With! – by Mark Call

The following few minutes could change your life forever because at the end of this article, you will know exactly how the people you associate yourself with can determine how much money you make. To start, think of the five people that you most commonly associate yourself with and add up their incomes. Then, take the number that you come up with and divide it by five and you will roughly come up with your own income.

While this might not be an exact science, it is very accurate, especially since it does not take geography or anything like that into account. What this means, however, is that your success is determined by the people that you spend the most time with, which gives you an easy way to make more money year after year.

Now, this does not mean that you have to completely ditch all of your friends and starting hanging out with new people. If you usually hang out with your family, this does not mean that you have to forget about how close you are with your family and find new friends. What you should do, however, is associate yourself with more successful people because this will give you the drive that you need to succeed yourself. This works every time because we are driven by those around us in life and we can quickly get complacent when the people around us similar to us.

The reason for this is that we do not feel the need to improve ourselves if we feel comfortable about our income level. Of course, if everyone around us is making the same amount of money, there is no reason to feel uncomfortable about how much money the amount of money we are making, since we are not outcast from the group. Income level is also very conducive to the lifestyle that a person lives and if everyone else that is around is living the same lifestyle, that lifestyle becomes very comfortable and there is little reason to improve it.

Compare this to a football player who wants to play in the NFL, but is constantly training with a baseball team. He might be comfortable with the baseball team and the other members of the team might be that person’s best friends, but practicing with a baseball team will not make him a better football player. The same can be said for an individual’s career, as you will not improve your career standing if you hang out with people who are not worried about improving themselves. You must be around people who are successful because they will motivate you to make yourself better.

The good news is that this will not be that significant of a change in your life, as long as you handle things the right way. You do not have to move to a major city and surround yourself with some of the most knowledgeable people in the business world because, let’s face it, they wouldn’t want to hang out with you anyway. They are very busy and very important people who have better things to do than hang out with someone who wants to improve him or her self. If it was that easy, everyone would be best friends with the richest people in the world and in this scenario, the dynamics of this formula would certainly have to change.

What you can do, however, is make your local support group more diverse by getting to know successful people in your own area. This can be done by taking a job at a local corporation or simply mingling with people everywhere you go. Another great method is to join an MLM company, this sounds funny, but it works! You are bound to time people who are more successful than most if you are constantly meeting people and over time, you will find that your income will increase as well.

This entire formula is a direct result of peer pressure, as no one wants to be the one that stands out in a group. If you are the most successful person in a group, you will be expected to pick up the check and do other things that you do not want to do. Likewise, if you are the least successful person in a group, you will not be able to afford to go out for nice dinners or stay at nice hotels on trips. You have probably noticed that Hollywood actors hang out with other actors, doctors hang out with other doctors, and CEOs hang out with other CEOs and the reason for that is that they are just as successful as one another.

If you were looking for your dream girl, you would not hang out at a construction site and, likewise, you cannot reach your goals if you are with people who do not have similar aspirations. You do not have to completely rid yourself of these influences in your life, since they are your friends and youdefinitely care about them. What you do have to do is expand your network and make new friends who have similar goals or, better yet, have already achieved these goals. If you can accomplish this, you will find yourself more motivated than ever before you succeed financially and once you have this motivation, there is nothing that can hold you can from reaching your end goal. Your success is within your reach now that you know about the five divided by fives equals success formula, so go out there and make it happen for yourself.

I am here to tell you that so many doors have opened in my life because I “live” by
this! It truly does work …….. every time!

Change your association, change your life, your situation, your income!

To Your Success,

Mark

How To Get 440 Opt-ins Per Day – with viralPDF reports!

Mark — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:11:21 +0000

Killer Video by my bud, James Grandstaff, ViralPDF Generator!

(note: video opens in new window)

Over the weekend I watched an amazing video about a woman named Ann – who gets 440 subscribers on her list every day from a strategy she put in place over 2 years ago…

My first reaction was total disbelief… Until the video started going into details about she did it with viralPDF's.

You have to see viralPDF Generator

It starts out like a case study… and goes on to explain how she turned those subscribers into $1,267,200 over the course of a year.

So here's what she does with a viralPDF…

1) She gives away a free 35 page viralPDF report that is jammed packed with great content that her niche wants.

2) She gives every reader "giveaway rights" to her viralPDF report.

3) The report presells her own product and when you become a customer, you get "branding rights" to the viralPDF report.

4) As a new customer (i.e. affiliate) they start sharing her viralPDF report all over the web and earn commissions when someone upgrades from their link inside the report.

That's it!

I know it sounds simple because it is!

Just go watch the video because this guy explains it better than I can…

I can tell you one thing for sure, start using viralPDF reports!
