Well, the secret is out. The US economy is in the toilet and everybody is in a panic. Well, almost everybody. I’m having another record breaking year and even though sales were down in September, I still broke 10K for the month. How did I do it? Well, that’s a long story and not one that’s going to come from one article, but what I am going to share with you now are a few things to get you through this crisis.

At the top of the list is just that…your list. If you’re into Internet marketing for a while, you’ve no doubt signed up for quite a few programs and services. Some of them, you probably don’t even use anymore, if ever. Well, it’s time to cut the strings. Cancel your memberships and programs that aren’t providing anything of value to you. Just sit down and ask yourself this question. “What am I getting from this thing?” If you can’t find an answer that makes sense to continue using the service, get rid of it.

Another thing you should do is look out for bargains. Now that things are really tough, vendors are running specials on some great products and services that can really help you. If they’re smart, they’ll show you EXACTLY how these products will help you. If they can’t do that, you don’t need them. Trust me on this.

Then there is the stock market. Stocks are at an all time low now and there is no where to go but up now that the bailout has gone through. Now is the time to look at a solid stock that had been doing well prior to the crisis and buy a few shares. If you see the price is starting to rise, buy a few more shares. This is a great time to make a quick killing on Wall Street IF you play it smart.

As far as your everyday living, before you buy ANYTHING, ask yourself one question. “Do I REALLY need this?” If the answer is no, don’t get it. Make sure your business is prospering first before you go throwing your money around.

Which finally brings me to those bargains I was telling you about.

Before I get to them, let me tell you a little something about myself because without some credibility, nothing I say makes a darn bit of difference.

I’ve been marketing online since 2003. Last year I earned over $122,000 and this year I’m going to do about the same, maybe a little better depending on how well the next 3 months go.

I have helped a lot of people reach the success that they’re looking for because of the products I’ve creating. Normally, I’d just leave you some regular links and leave it at that. Certainly my products are worth 10 times what I charge for them anyway since they actually deliver results. But, I know that times are hard for you now and you just don’t have a lot to spend, so I’m going to offer a few specials here today that I think you’ll want to take advantage of.

One of my main sources of income comes from article writing. I consider myself an expert at it. My book “The Complete Article Writing and Marketing Guide” normally sells for $37. But for a limited time, I’m making this great book available for the insane price of just $17. It also comes with my book on copywriting that is said to be one of the best books out there on the subject, especially for the marketer who doesn’t want to spend thousands on some copywriter. I write my own copy and it’s responsible for all that income that you see. I’ve never hired a copywriter…ever.

If you want a complete education on marketing online, you can’t get a better one than through my landmark product “My Secret Articles”. Normally selling for just $97 (a steal) I am going to make it available, again for a limited time only, for just $47. No, you’re not seeing things. It’s 98 volumes (almost 1700 pages) and the best education you’ll ever get at that price.

Finally, if you just want a shortcut to finding great niches that you can monetize quickly, without having to do all that research, there is my “Niche Research Revolution” that also normally sells for $97. Again, you can have this for a limited time for just $47.

I am offering, for any of these products, an unheard of 6 MONTH GUARANTEE. That is how sure I am that you will be more than thrilled with any of my products. I only put out products of quality. Ask anybody who has ever gotten anything from me.

But…please, if you’re NOT going to use this information…DON’T GET IT. I don’t want you spending money that you don’t have. Remember my tips above? That’s one way to survive this economic crisis. Only spend money on things you need and will use.

It took me a while to make it to where I am today, but I’ve made it and have the smarts to help you as well.

Which is why I am going to make ONE MORE OFFER. I shouldn’t do this, but I figure that somebody who is bright enough to see what a bargain this is, will jump all over it.

I offer private mentoring that has helped a lot of people. I normally charge $100 a day and it’s a minimum of 30 days, which comes out to $3,000 for the month. That’s not chump change. Well, for a limited time only, I am making my services available for just $997 a month. That’s a little more than $33 a day, which is a joke considering what I earn an hour. My time, however, is not refundable. So make sure you really want my help before you sign up.

Okay, if you’re interested in any of the info product specials above, you can find them here.

Please don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions at all. Believe it or not, unlike a lot of the snake oil salesmen out there, I truly want to see you succeed. I am 100% confident that I can do that…IF you’ll give me the chance.

In the meantime, spend your money wisely. Our government doesn’t know it’s butt from a hole in the ground so I have a feeling we’re going to be in for some crazy times. Those of us (like me) who know how to run a successful business, will be fine. The rest of the pack?

I’m just going to say a few prayers.

To YOUR Success,

Well, you’ve pretty much pissed away the last 2 months. So what next? Are you ready for the last 4 months of the year? Have you made any kind of real money in the first 8 months? If you’re spinning your wheels and you’re thinking that there’s no point in knocking yourself these last 4 months, think again. It only takes a few weeks to really build momentum and start raking in the bucks. In this article, I’m going to give you just a few tips to make money quickly and easily…relatively speaking.

Got a skill? Can you write? You DID graduate grade school right? You do have a pretty good command of the English language, right? Well, did you know that there are people out there who are dying for article writers? See, lots of marketers think that an easy way to make money online is to write articles and send people to their affiliate sites from those articles. Problem is, many of these marketers can’t write articles. That’s where YOU come in.

Freelancing not your thing? No problem. Got any junk laying around the house? You’d be surprised how many people will pay good money for some of your junk. There are collectors from all over the world looking for all kinds of things. Where do you sell them? Ebay my friend. Maybe you can’t sell digital goods there anymore but physical items are still hot. Just head on over to Ebay and look up what the hottest selling items are. If you have a few extra bucks, you can pick up some of these things from wholesalers and make a real killing.

Don’t want to sell physical goods? Again, no problem. The digital goods market is easy to break into and the best part about it is that there is hardly any overhead. If most people knew what I spent monthly on my business they’d laugh. I’m known as the cheap marketer and I still bank over 6 figures each year.

Of course what you might want to do is get yourself a solid marketing education. Unless you know what you’re doing, quite honestly, you have very little chance of being successful with any of the above items. However, if you check out my signature, you’ll find the best Internet marketing instruction that you can get at this price point.

Anyway, summer’s almost over…time to get working.

Want the most comprehensive training you’ll find for under $100? Check out MY SECRET ARTICLES and infuse your brain today.

I came across a great article today written by “The Lazy Marketer” (Chris Rempel) titled, “4 Easy Steps to Go From Zero to Full-Time Marketer” and it is definitely worth reading. He does a very good job of painting the overall picture of what you need to do to make money online and create a full-time online income.

Chris isn’t called The Lazy Marketer for no reason. He doesn’t like to work hard for the money he earns and he has become a master at making money online with minimal work. I have his ebook “Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate” and it is top quality! I definitely recommend it!

Anyway, on to the article I was talking about…

That’s it for now.

Rant coming…major rant. So if you’re not in the mood for a tirade, I suggest you hide in your bunker and come out when the smoke clears. I’m going to cover a few areas that really tick me off when it comes to pride in your work. These items really get my goat. If you’re doing any of this stuff, cut it out…now!

Let’s start with product creation. I don’t even know where to begin here. I’m not saying you have to make your ebook look like something out of Grand Hotel, but for crying out loud…no page numbers, no chapters, paragraphs that go on forever, no table of contents, links that don’t work, and information that is so outdated and awful that you have to wonder how old the darn thing is. I won’t even go into how bad some of the English is on these things. It’s disgraceful. Bottom line is this, if you don’t create a product with pride, the person who bought it, won’t buy your next one.

Next I want to go to sales pages. This is almost as bad though not quite. Looks like most people know that you need a decent sales page to make the sale, but still, I have seen some sales pages that are just downright awful…no graphics at all, weak headlines, no bullet points, horrible fonts, no guarantee mentioned, a call to action that is so weak you have to practically search for the buy now link. Some sales pages are so bad, I’d almost bet that they make no sales at all. Bottom line is this, if you want to sell your crappy product that you have no pride in, you at least need a good sales page.

Then there’s article writing, especially people who ghost write. You know, somebody asks you to write five articles for them on a certain topic and the articles you send back are so bad that a five year old could do better. The English is horrible, the material isn’t accurate, or worse, you stole it word for word from another source. And THAT source was just as bad. I can’t believe some of the junk I’ve seen pawned off as articles these days.

These few things are just the tip of the iceberg. I could go on and on about all the crap that I see online. So please, if you want to run a profitable business, please take some pride in your work.

You only get one shot to make a good first impression.

There has been a lot of talk around the forums lately about guru bashing and how they just rip us poor innocent dumb suckers off. Well, I thought it was about time that I put all of this nonsense in perspective. I’m not saying that there aren’t bad people in the world, because there are. But just because somebody is a guru doesn’t make them a bad person or a con artist.

I understand that there are all kinds of people out there, as far as intelligence level goes. Some people are really bright and can spot a snake oil salesman a mile away. And then there are those of us who will believe anything that we’re told. So it’s not fair to put all the blame on the consumer. The merchant has to take some responsibility. However, and I’m going to use college as an example, there has to come a point where even if we’re as dumb as pet rocks, we have to take some responsibility as well.

Why do I bring up college? Well, when I was about 17 years old, I graduated high school and was all prepared to go to college. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. The only thing left to do was pay my tuition, which was a hell of a lot more than a guru seminar, take my classes and graduate…hopefully to get a job afterwards.

I spent one year out of college looking for work. I couldn’t get one person to hire me. Now, did I go back to my college and tell them that they ripped me off because I couldn’t get a job? Of course not. I wouldn’t have thought of it. Nobody would have. Truth is, when you went to college, no promises were made. You were going in the hopes that you’d have a better chance TO find a job once you got out. But ultimately, there were no guarantees.

And yet, when we buy a $97 ebook or a $997 seminar, we expect to come out of it with enough ammunition to make 6 figures in a month. I don’t know where this entitlement mentality comes from, but it’s certainly isn’t the guru’s fault. Do they put up sales pages that make us think that all we have to do is buy their product and we’ll be rich? Maybe, but no more so than the college recruiter who comes to your high school and tells you how 85% of their students start out at $35,000 a year. What they don’t tell you is that the other 15% don’t get any jobs at all.

Before we start pointing fingers at the gurus, maybe it’s time we took a look at ourselves. Are we putting in the effort we should be putting in? Are we spending the money we need to on advertising? Do we have the skills necessary to write a compelling ad? If not, are we willing to learn?

Until we can answer those questions honestly, we might want to hold off on blaming the gurus for our failures.
