Every so often a marketer comes along who is so compelling that you've got to follow them. You just know that this is the one who will make a difference in your life. The one who will cut through the crap, knock you up-side the head and set you straight.
Michael Cheney is such a teacher.
In a matter of a couple of years Michael has risen from loser status to hero status. He has helped over 200 marketers find their way online and start to make a full time income based on his sound and practical advice.
What's more, he makes it fun. He uses imaginative terms for what could be seen as mundane tasks. He is funny and witty, so it is not hard to listen to him for an hour-long webinar. In fact, you look forward to his online meet-ups.
He answers your questions and he gets back to you, and the cost of this personal coaching is actually within a lot of people's budgets (unlike so many gurus where you practically have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it.) He understands that there are many ordinary people out there who need his help and can only afford to make a modest investment to get the help that is needed to succeed.
He know because he's been there. Michael struggled for about 5 years to make an income online. He was living in a small apartment with a dead end job and both drinking and drug habits. He turned his life around completely and in a very short time was making $1 million to $5 million per launch for his projects. He now lives in a lovely house in the Scottish countryside and commands a great income from his online business and consulting.
He's just released his latest program, Delta Squadron. It's as creative and fun as his earlier programs. He includes his secrets to how he made his first $1 million in a few days. There are also a couple of attractive upgrade options, along with a 30 day free trial of his membership program. Get it here:
http://www.deltasquadron.com/a/go?a=42244
If you don't already have an internet marketing teacher, I highly recommend that you grab on to Michael. He is one of the best, and, frankly, you can't beat his price for the amount of value you'll get from his program.
Get on board now:

Selecting the Best On Site Internet Training
The fall is always a season where many of the big
name marketers hold major on site internet training. I have
noticed that more of these events are taking place
spread throughout the year-- perhaps because at events
like JV Alert the Big Guys get together and plan out a
calendar of major launches. If you don't follow in line
you're toast. Despite the coordination, fall is always
a busy training season in the IM industry.
Each person must to assess training needs before getting
caught up in the frenzy of buying the latest and greatest
product. No one has enough cash and time to go to all of
the super events out there, and you don't want to waste
the precious time and money on the wrong thing.
Sometimes when you buy a low cost product, the upsell will
be a high end course to help you tailor the training
materials to your own situation. It's a great strategy,
but it leaves a lot of people with training courses they
didn't realize they can't afford to support properly.
The hard copy course without the on site training is
sometimes much less useful, so in order to protect
the investment on a new product, it may well be
important to attend the live event. It is
too bad that these often hit the market quickly leaving
little time for those marketers who are not in the IM
Inner Circle little time to plan and budget for the
most critical events, or even double-booked.
Trainings are of at least 3 kinds:
1. The least focused on specific topics is usually the
"tell and sell." This is a workshop on a fairly general
topic area, such some famous marketer's free customers'
"thank you" event. By getting in a room customers who
have bought your products in the past, you've got a
perfect set-up to get them to buy products again at the
seminar, at a higher price point. So the big-name
marketer invites all of his buddies to talk about their
latest and greatest products.
Sometimes these will be relevant to what you need, and
most will not.
While the relevance of the tell and sell is lower,
the cost is also usually little other than travel costs,
and it does offer a good opportunity to network with other
marketers and to meet, often for the first time, some of
the big names in the industry.
It is good to attend one or two of these "tell and sell"
events early on in one's IM career just to meet people
and get the scope of all the new products coming on the
market. Try to avoid the urge to jump to the buy line in
the back of the room, unless the product is really way too
cool to pass up, and can be used IMMEDIATELY in your business.
2. Lecture training
This type of training is classroom style teacher at the front
podium and students taking notes at tables lined up in the rest
of the room. There may be guest teachers, or you may be drinking
at the cup of one great master. There is time, usually for
questions, and people you want to talk to can be buttonholed in
the halls, but the emphasis is on a lot of listening and note-
taking.
This format works best when the crowd is filled with fairly new
people, or people new to the product, and they just need to be
grounded in all the details. If there is a manual or video series
with on online training to follow, then the student can go back
home and apply the training to their own situation. With a good
support desk, the student will often feel good about the training
experience, even if they quickly forget the details.
This type of training may be rolled into the purchase price of
a product, or may include a refundable $97 to assure attendance
by registrants. Other common price points for this type of
training are $497 to $997, depending on the popularity and
scarcity of information on the topic.
3. Hands on workshop.
For this type of session, bring your laptop and notebook because you
are in for a lot of individual work. This type of session will
usually start with some lecture ground-work and will quickly move
on to more individual training where associates of the guru will
go around and assist people who get stuck. Often people will be
grouped into teams, interest area, or level of experience so that
the groups can move along at approximately the same pace.
Personally, I get the most out of this type of session, provided
I can apply it to a project I am actually working on and have a high
level of confidence and respect for that guru and his/her team.
When you can go home with a website completed and checked over by an
experienced IM'er, or a detailed project plan for how to carry out your
next launch, then the feeling of accomplishment is tremendous, and you can
zoom your success rate tremendously as a result of the experience.
Often these sessions do not come cheap, and go up in cost the fewer
people who are being helped at the same time. It is common for
IM small hands-on sessions to cost from $1997 to $5000. One-on-one,
if the guru even does them, will cost $5000 per day and up.
Major rainmakers like Jay Abraham may cost $5000 per hour or more.
There have been times in the past couple years when IM pundits
wondered if the on site training model was dead. Seats were left
unfilled and whole events have had to be cancelled because of the
high cost of travel and the uncertainty about the economy.
The live Webinar is also fast becoming a viable substitute for high
quality, hands on training. I will be covering this more as the
former Hot Conference is reborn in the form of GVO Conference with
many cool interactive features that are not commonly available when
there are large numbers of registrants.
Note that the largest Webinar in internet history just took place a
few days ago when Perry Belcher and Ryan Deiss introduced Belcher's
new Social Networking course. Webinars can be tremendously successful
in introducing product launches, and they can also be highly useful
in delivering premium content. Again, more on this aspect of IM
training in a later post.

New No Cost Training Videos Out
I've run into two great video series for Internet Marketers this week that I want to share with you. Both cost absolutely nothing.
For newbies and old-timers, Eric Holmlund's series of 120 tip videos looks very promising. Holmlund is the writer and director of Joel Comm's famous "Next Internet Millionaire" online reality show, and the author of a wide variety of top online products. He says that his brief series of videos will take the process of building a business online from the very beginning steps to very sophisticated secret tweaks that he has used to create his own multi-million dollar Internet business. Check it out at Ericstips. Be prepared to actually do some homework to prepare for each session.
For those who want to get the very latest on doing search engine optimization for better natural search ranking, take a look at SEO Networker, a little training site by Ferny Ceballos and Raymond Fong. These two show you in 8 quick lessons how to use social sites for social buzz and not for spammy marketing. By building credibility you'll build your readership and add indirectly to your bottom line. They warn that Google is watching the development of social sites very carefully and will soon be out with the next slap to penalize sites that have done bookmarking and reciprocal link exchanges without building content and profile first on social sites. Those who want to learn SEO work in depth should consider the mastermind sessions that Ceballos and Fong will be holding after their private membership site closes on Feb. 2. Unlike the limited 8 part series, the 8 week training sessions will cost to get in, but will almost certainly be worth the price of admission for those who want to get down white hat natural SEO techniques cold.

Willie got 1 Million Visitors in 60 Days and You Can Too
Hi --
You've probably heard of legendary marketer, Willie Crawford.
Here's a true story about him:
Willie Crawford grew up on a tobacco farm in
North Carolina, where at an early age he learned
the soul food recipes that he eventually began
selling on the Internet at chitterlings .com
But soon he quickly went from eating pig
intestines (FYI, that's what "chitlins" are) to
dining on the finest filet mignon steaks when his
'Net traffic skyrocketed.
How did he do it?
Willie "Chitlin King" Crawford used just 10
traffic tactics (all no-cost) to get over
1,000,000 targeted visitors to his brand new
home-made 'site in just 60 days.
What were they?
You can get a list of the exact 10 tactics
Willie used emailed to you - plus a no-cost video
training of one of the tactics ...so you can be
using it for yourself within an hour.
The new video is here:
http://www.xfactortraffic.com/v10.o/liznichols
The tactic in this video is ranked as the #10
Most Effective No-Cost 'Net Traffic Tactic of
the Last 10 Years by Trafficology.com (the go-to
source for real traffic results online for the
past decade)
What is the #10 tactic of all time that Willie
Crawford used, and can be setup in about an hour?
It's probably not what you think!
http://www.xfactortraffic.com/v10.o/liznichols
And because I got to this a little late... I'm sending you a second bonus of Xfactor video number 9:
http://www.xfactortraffic.com/v9.o/liznichols
Tactic 9 is all about JV marketing. This is another of the totally free traffic tactics that work that you'll find in the XFactor.

NitroQuattro Review
Nitro Marketing's "Quattro" was launched yesterday.
The product includes a 400 page manual, video demonstrations and a sweet software system that automates many of the functions required to set up a successful Internet Marketing business. Nitro Marketing's 10 year old flagship product, Trafficology, is also included in order to help each participant generate a steady stream of free traffic.
Nitro Marketing has long been one of the most successful and upstanding companies involved in training new Internet marketers, and they have a very good track record of success helping people select profitable niches, build mini-sites and drive traffic to them. Now their products have been updated with all the latest social marketing techniques.
The latest version has been introduced to and tested with the help of marketers who spent $3000 for a hands-on bootcamp on Quattro, so there is now lots of documented evidence of marketers tripling and quadrupling their earnings using Quattro techniques.
Nitro Marketing is not inexpensive, but for a comprehensive system complete with software, it is certainly worth the price. If you are a new marketer, you should not need much beyond this $995 system to be successful online. Although I have not yet used Quattro (I've just downloaded the manual and am starting to work through it), I have been a Trafficology member and have worked with the Nitro mini-site system in the past. They know what they are doing and they are good at teaching. Given what I know about Kevin Wilke and the Nitro team, I recommend this product.
MY BONUS PACKAGE
Those who decide to buy NitroQuattro through my link will receive:
Due to my own projects and time limitations, I can only work with 10 of you. You also want to hurry on over to Quattro now so you can claim the fast start bonuses that Nitro is giving.
Hurry, hurry, run, run, run!

Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge
I've been having one of the most quality experiences with Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge that I've ever had with an Internet marketing newbie product.
For one thing, it's free.
For another, I'm learning lots that I hadn't already employed in 5 years of online marketing. It takes a lot to impress me, because I've tried em all! There is so much new stuff any marketer is going to find a lot that is first class, never before revealed that it is worth it for someone experienced to go in and follow along.
Among the new features is the beta of Market Samurai, which you can get for the first 40 days free if you go in through the 30 Day Challenge. I had a great time over two or three days catching up on the research for my next several marketing ventures. Dale says the keyword portion of Market Samurai will remain free. The other aspects will require a one time payment after the trial. The paid portion includes a very robust SEO tool that eclipses SEO Book in its automated power. There's a cool content organizer. There's lots more that I haven't explored yet, or that may not be available yet. Looks like a winner of a research tool.
I spent my Sunday setting up Flock, a newer browser which is based on the same platform as Firefox, but is organized so well that you'll be able to save yourself time whether you're a blogger, a picture freak, a social networker, or a news maven. I got the Flock suggestion from the 30 Day Challenge preview series. It's very easy to organize all of your tools on one convenient dashboard, so I highly recommend going to Flock and using it as your default web browser.
I'm still catching up. The group is on about day 9 as of the live session tonight. But the Dashboard and training area of the site is really well designed so you can find what you need to do to get prepared. Someone with a half done project might be able to use that and short-circuit some of the work. Don't ignore the research, though, because it will do an amazing job of pinpointing the profitable keywords in your niche using the Market Samurai tool.
I'll blog on this more later when I've explored a few more tools.

Why I am NOT Buying Reese's "Traffic Tactics 2.0"
I am sitting here listening to an expert whose opinion I really value, Andy Jenkins of Stompernet, talk about the pros and cons of John Reese's "Traffic Tactics 2.0." Andy essentially confirms what I have also heard from another marketer whose opinion I value, Todd Gross. He likes the product; it's high quality, but it will be like drinking from a firehose for most new marketers.
The market I review for is the raw recruit, the new Internet Marketer. While I have been around a long time online, I am, myself, a relative newbie when it comes to being able to make consistent money either as an affiliate or with my own products. My learning style requires deliberate, hands on, and drill-down techniques the walk me through creating my own projects. If I get it, I do it repeatedly. If I don't get it without a hell of a lot of time and angst, I figure out how to outsource it.
John Reese's "Traffic Tactics 2.0" is not a tool for most beginners. The exception is, it may work for the individual who is not easily overwhelmed by massive amounts of information and requires fairly little handholding. It appears to also be a good bet for those looking for information on keyword research and its importance, creating content, video marketing and social marketing. Andy Jenkin's opinion is these particular segments of the DVD set are outstanding and drill down to a level that will actually help even the newcomer. There are a few other areas where, if you need the specific information, then go for it.
The product is not expensive as comprehensive courses go. (It's under $400.) If you already have some experience putting mini-sites up and are experimenting with tweaking your traffic sources, then this product is for you. If you buy Reese's course just concentrate on the segments that will help you to squeeze more traffic from your existing sites, or build your second or third site with greater effectiveness.
I recommend that if you decide to get it you do your purchase through Stompernet. They will do a complementary job with their bonuses of filling in the gaps on the topic of SEO and the like. If you wish for a more informal and basic level of products complimentary to Traffic Tactics, then go to Michael Cheney's Trafficstupid site to pick up his bonuses for this product.
What I am personally doing is taking a step back from the "Traffic Tactics 2.0" frenzy and concentrating on a level of training that is a little more step-by-step and hands on. Specifically, right now I'm going through Erik Stafford's Fasterwebmaster Silver and I'm personally getting what I need from that. Later, I'll probably go back to some of the specific courses on traffic, list building, and SEO work to fine-tune the niche marketing sites I'm working on now.
I also have Michael Cheney's latest course in hand, "Automatic Income System VIP," and need to go through that and review it in detail. I know that Cheney has a really good list of traffic sources for students to follow, but I have not yet set up a site using his methods. This new training course is not presently available for new subscribers. However, an earlier course, "Affiliate Millions" is presently available on Clickbank at a fairly modest $97 investment.
What I am illustrating in revealing my own decision process on whether to buy this important IM study course is how to evaluate whether a certain product is the right one at the right time and at the right price for you to buy. Under certain conditions it may well be the best thing since sliced bread. In my case, and for many of my readers, it's just too much with too little comprehensive, step-by-step help right now.

Faster Webmaster Silver
Erik Stafford has spared no detail in his latest multimedia course on making money on the Internet, his Faster Webmaster Silver program.
This is, quite simply, the most comprehensive guide for new Internet marketers available today, and it is priced to fit the pocketbooks of almost any new marketer. What makes Erik's approach so unique is that he does not try to fit new marketers into one pigeon hole and insist that you go specifically that one route to making your mark on the Net. He recognizes that different folks will have talents and interests that lead to a particular approach to marketing. Sometimes the niche selected will determine the path to marketing success, and the style of website that will work best.
Erik teaches newbies how to set up a business plan that will fit the market niche and the talents and interests of each marketer. His extensive video library, his written material and downloadable forms cover the basics for each strategy whether it's
The complete multimedia package is called the "Silver" membership level. Those wishing more hands-on assistance and help through an exclusive forum and regular membership teleconferences will want to join at the "Gold" level. Both are extremely reasonable for the comprehensive, quality product that the user is getting here.
I've known Erik ever since he released his first version of the Faster Webmaster and the 7 Minute Website. He is a gifted web designer and has become a highly successful Internet marketer in a relatively short period of time. I trust Erik so thoroughly that I have hired him to do a website for me to use in helping people on the brink of foreclosure to understand what is going on. I also took his personal coaching class that he conducted last winter with Theo Baskind, an expert on social networking.
Believe me, you are getting the best possible product and the best possible help to start off your online business when you sign up for Erik Stafford's Faster Webmaster Silver or Gold program. This one gets at least a 9.9 on a scale of 10 in my book.
Have a great day, folks.

Advice from Michael Cheney and Joshua Shafran
I looked at two free training videos I recommend to folks.
Michael Cheney did a 13 minute video to show slide of the Internet marketing seminar he attended in Las Vegas. All the major marketers were present and he was able to attend some VIP functions.
The three trends that Michael took away from the conference were: 1. The importance of social marketing right now. Literally millions of people are hungry for the latest training on social marketing right now. This is the new way to create free internet traffic. 2. The importance of creating products prolifically. The gurus never stop creating new stuff. 3. The importance of using experts to fill in the gaps in your own expertise and saving you time. Michael is about to create a product that will help to address all of these trends and secrets to IM success.
The second video was a tutorial by Joshua Shafran called "Don't Shoot the Gurus Yet." Joshua argues that the problem is not the stuff that is created by the so-called gurus. Most of the stuff being created by the tried-and-true IM millionaires are reputable and useful. The problem is, we buy the stuff and then get overwhelmed and don't put it to use.
He suggests that we organize all the e-books, software and hard copy business materials into three lists: business planning and goal-setting materials; marketing materials; technical materials. This will help us focus on what we need first.
The next step is to decide on a business plan and strategy. After that, develop a marketing strategy, and then go to work creating the products, the website and the autoresponder series that will help you to actually make money. Break everything down into definable steps and work on the project a little bit each day. Bit by bit, you'll make progress.
Shafran mentions several products he feels are indispensable. On the marketing side, of course, Clickbank is a great source. He also suggests checking out Hydramedia and Shareasale for products. Some of the technical tools Shafran recommends are Erik Stafford's "The Faster Webmaster," the "MarketingMakeoverGenerator" product, and the AWeber autoresponder system. I anticipate having the Faster Webmaster II available as soon as it comes out in the next week or two. I'll let you know when it comes out. I agree with Shafran that this is the best tool on the market for the web-challenged marketer.
