5iphon Hardcore is a viral list building system created by Bryan Winters. I started using the system around the beginning of October and my results so far have been absolutely stellar.

The concept behind the system is quite simple and yet incredibly effective. The goal is to build a list. *Your List*, not someone elses.

This is accomplished through the most common and effective way that most marketers use. Give away something in return for a prospects email address.

Then you monetize with an upsell or one time offer of sorts and continue to monetize with follow up email offers.

Simple and effective, but yet sometimes difficult to implement, especially if you are a beginner with no technical skills.

5iphon Hardcore gives you the tools you need to start building your list right away, even if you are a beginner. The only thing you need is an autoresponder account.

What you are giving away is a free membership to use the system. You promote your affiliate page which has your auto responder code in it so you build your list and not someone else's. That is what makes this different from other affiliate programs.

Here is the really cool part that makes this viral list builder deadly. Everyone that you refer, and joins for free, sends their first 5 referrals to you. Look at the photo above and you can see that I have *directly* referred 984 subscribers. But, thanks to the "Send 5 Viral Platform", I have a total of 1499 subscribers!

That's a whopping 35% extra subscribers that the system sends you for free!

But there is even more. When you upgrade to the Extreme membership, you don't have to give away your first 5 referrals and you get 50% commissions on any of your subscribers that also take the upgrade. The upgrade converts like crazy and is an easy way to make some nice *recurring* commissions.

Yes that's right, I said recurring. The upgrade is an initial $40 payment and then $20 monthly. That means that you get $20 upfront and then $10 per month afterwards as long as your referrals keep their membership active. So far, I have had awesome results! Take a look at the picture below to see the commissions I have made in just 19 days.

So, I have over $800 in commissions in less then 3 weeks. Next month when all of these people pay their membership dues of $20, I will get another $10 for each one. Minus the small fee that Clickbank takes. I will continue to get these recurring payments until a member cancels.

Can you see why I love this 5iphon Hardore so much?

I get 35% more subscribers for my efforts and recurring commissions on my one time offer sales. I highly recommend that you join this program and start promoting. I am using this for my regular adswaps that I do on a daily basis. I don't get to use it all the time because some of my associates are doing the same as me.

But that's OK. I am still having great success and so can you. Click on the link and join 5iphon Hardcore now. It's free but I highly recommend that you upgrade so your Clickbank account can look like mine too.

Congrats to the 3 winners! I am looking forward to working with you so you can get on track and start making some money online. If you haven't watched the video, please do so now. It's the only way you're going to find out who won.

I am going to work something out for all who have participated and left a comment. I really appreciate your effort and wish that I could have picked everybody. There were a lot of great responses and of course everyone is deserving but I just couldn't make that happen.

I will try to contact you tonight when I get back. Please sign up for a Skype account if you don't already have one. It's free and we will be using it to communicate. Add me to your account and I will look you up later. My Skype ID is "onlineventures" with out the quotes.

Make sure you leave a message stating who you are because if I don't know who you are I won't add you to my contacts. (there are too many hackers out there)

For those of you who did not win, make sure you watch your emails because I am going to do something special for all who have participated. I am at least going to hold some special webinars for you to show you how to set up your own list building system.

Once again thank you everyone for the comments and make sure you come back and visit because I am going to be posting a lot more then what I have been doing the last few months. (which won't be hard to do since I went 3 months without making a post LOL)

Yep, that's right. Your not dreaming. Go ahead and pinch yourself to make sure!

I am going to give away a complete list building system that will be set up for you so that you can get behind the wheel and start making money online right away.

Just about everyone in Internet marketing has heard the phrase "the money is in the list". The reason you keep hearing this over and over again is simply because it is true.

There are many ways to build a list but probably the most common and effective method is to give away a free report, software, or service in return for a name and email address via a lead capture page or "squeeze page" as it is often called.

This sounds very simple and it is for those of us who have the technical skills and experience that we have come to take for granted.

Things like:

• registering a domain name
• setting name servers
• using an FTP program
• editing HTML
• using an auto responder
• writing email copy that encourages readers to click on link to your page
• creating a squeeze page that converts
• creating the free offer to give away
• a way to monetize your efforts

All of a sudden it doesn't look so simple anymore. As a matter of fact, the lack of knowledge to accomplish these tasks is what keeps your average beginner from doing them and there fore never making any money online.

But the items listed above are just the basics required to get started. Once you have your system in place then you need traffic. Where are you going to get the visitors to feed into your funnel?

Well…I have the answer to all of the above and I am going to give it to 3 lucky people.

Not only am I going to hand you the tools you need, I am going to set everything up for you so that all you have to do is "turn on the switch". I'm even going to kick start your list building by adding 300 subscribers.

I am also going to set you up so that you will have plenty of traffic coming to your site by using the same methods that I drive traffic. This way you will be able to keep building your list and making money online when I hand the reins over to you.

Last but not least, I will make video tutorials of the entire process while setting up your system. That way you will have a step by step guide to follow when you are ready to set one up on your own.

Here is a breakdown of what you will get:

• one year free hosting with domain name
• free offer to give away
• squeeze page (with second version split test)
• download page (optimized to make you money)
• auto responder setup with follow up messages
• 2 email swipes to use for adswaps
• one time offer to monetize your list building
• 300 subscribers (I will send your offer to my list of 20k)
• introduction to JV partners and my best resources
• video tutorials of the entire process

Ok, here's the catch. The lucky 3 are going to be determined with a little contest. All you have to do is leave a comment below and I will pick the winners on September 1st. Here is what you need to put in your comment.

1. What has been your biggest challenge so far in your efforts to make money online?
2. What most would you like to learn about? (internet marketing related)
3. Tell me why I should pick you.

That's it. Should be easy enough. I would also appreciate it if you would use your favorite social service to "like", "stumble", or "+1" this post. See you on September 1st when I announce the winner.

This Friday night I'll be hosting a webinar that will cover some Internet marketing basics like how to use FTP, how to register a domain, how to set your name servers, and more of the technical things that can become huge stumbling blocks for a beginning marketer.

I am setting the time at 10pm EST to try and help you West coast dwellers get a chance to get settled after work. Everyone down under will have to get up by 10am Saturday morning so that shouldn't be too bad.

If you live "across the pond, I guess it sux to be you. LOL

I'll either hold one more time friendly for you or give you access to the replay. It will be better if I hold an other because I am going to have a Q & A session at the end where you can ask me about any Internet marketing topic you want.

I realize this is short notice but I had to wait to make sure that I was going to be able to do it. I just have a lot going on right now with my family life.

With that said, please don't hold it against me if there is a little background noise or an occasional interruption by my 6 year old daughter.  I will be watching the kids while the webinar is going and my daughter likes to be the center of attention.

Maybe I can rent a movie that will hold her attention for an hour or two. We'll see. LOL

Any how, here is the link to join the webinar at 10pm EST tomorrow.

I still can't believe that I haven't made a post in 4 months. Just goes to show how easy it is to get caught up in your life and everyday comings and goings that seem to eat up all of your time.

It is one of the reasons why so many people who try to make money online end up failing. The statistics say only 5 out of 100 end up sticking with it. Those are pretty unsurrmountable odds when you think about it.

That is why it's so important to have a plan, and not just a plan, but a detailed map with action items. Ideally you would project out for the entire year but at a minimum, the next 3 months. Make sure that you make a new "daily to do list" at the end of each day.

Trust me when I say that "lack of focus" will keep you from achieving your goals. Especially, if you have a family and a full time job. It is the main reason that I have not made a blog post in almost 4 months.

Let's face it, as Internet marketers we are bombarded with all kinds of get rich quick, do it all with the push of a button type offers. It's no wonder that most beginning IM'ers have a bad case of the "Shiny Object Syndrome".

The problem is that we WANT an easy solution so bad that we let are selves be drawn in by the false promises of easy money with little or no effort. But beginners are not the only ones that get caught up in the latest and greatest new software or technique.

The key is to create a plan and STICK TO IT!

When you create your plan, think about what your ultimate goal is that you want to accomplish with your business. Every step of your plan should bring you closer to achieving that goal. If it doesn't, then you need to ask yourself why you are doing it.

The more targeted your actions are, the faster you will come to achieving your end goal.

Now, you want to always try and stick to your plan but always look at the results of your actions to make sure they are accomplishing what you intended. You may have to make strategic adjustments along the way.

This will be true especially if this is all new to you. That it why you must always test what you are doing and know your metrics. If you are not having success with a tactic then make some tweaks or stop doing it all together.

On the other hand, if you are having great success with something then increase your efforts and try to make it even more productive. Concentrate on the things that are making you the most money and quit wasting your time on things that aren't.

The only exception to this rule is when it comes to helping people. There is no way to measure the "karma", or what ever you want to call it, that you achieve buy "paying it forward" and helping your fellow man.

I believe that it all comes back to you 10 fold and so far I have seen nothing to make me believe other wise. That is why I am going to resume hosting the free webinars again like I did at the beginning of the year.

I have some really great stuff coming up and am going to pick a small group of people and mentor them for free. I haven't decided exactly how I am going to make my selection but it is probably going to be some sort of a contest.

In the mean time. Take a day this week and plan out your strategy for the rest of this year that is going to take you closer to your goals for your online business. Also, please take a sec to "like" the post or give it a "+1".
