You Talk The Talk, But Do You Walk The Walk?

August 31, 2010 By Sam Leave a Comment

So this other day I was helping a friend of mine with setting up a couple of business meetings at different locations, so that he could start expanding his business into other areas. This very day, I noticed something that I actually notice very often, especially here in L.A., or on the US West Coast in general, which is that a lot of people talk the talk, but they just don't walk the walk. Now what the heck do I mean? Well, every time I go to an actual physical meeting (which you should do … [Read more...]

August 30, 2010 By Brian 2 Comments

There's one sure way that I know of to fail at making money online. Procrastination and inaction. You could...have the best idea in the world.

You could...have permission to put your link on Google.com. But, you won't make a dollar if you don't execute your great plan. It all sounds obvious when I put it like … [Read more...]

BONUS of a BONUS of a BONUS

August 26, 2010 By Brian 1 Comment

Simply put, a Bonus is a form of Incentive Marketing. BONUS MARKETING! I see it all the time. A big product launch is underway and the person running the launch gives out a hefty commission which then elicits people to put BONUSES (aka bribes) out to their readers, lists, affiliates, etc. They do this to ensure that you buy the product from THEM over another affiliate. Why not? They want the commission. So, here's the formula for BONUS Marketing: First of all, make sure you are … [Read more...]

Word on the street at Affiliate Summit

August 18, 2010 By Brian 2 Comments

I wanted to do a recap of Affiliate Summit and pass along some info from the event. The number 1 thing I heard at affiliate summit beyond anything else, was that affiliate marketers are generally unsure about list building. Granted, most people were talking to me about it for obvious reasons since I'm considered a list builder. But it was kind of amazing how many affiliates really didn't know the first thing about list building. Here's a few common things I heard at the event: Most … [Read more...]
