One of the ways you can make it more likely your entire email will be read and acted on is to make it easier to read.

Since a lot of people still work on text-based emails, the primary method of formatting your email is to reduce the length of the lines. Instead of having a natural text wrap which would extend your text all the way across the screen, you can break the lines at a certain length.

There are a lot of giveaways going on, and you may be wondering why I haven’t been promoting the heck out of them like a lot of other people.

Well, I have two reasons really. First, I have been focusing my energy on doing what I do best — teach you personally how to do the things that will move you forward. I’ve been doing this by hosting live training this week at SolsticeSale.com.

Secondly, I think that the giveaway sites are likely not what you actually need, and in fact, they may be a hindrance to your growth.

Now before I have Santa Sal or anybody else hunt me down with whatever inflatable bat they have, let me explain what I mean.

Take a look at your hard drive and tell me if you have less than 25 products that you have downloaded, implemented and been happy with. Chances are, you’re laughing right now because you very well know that you truly have no idea just how many things you have on your computer.

And they are just sitting there, collecting dust and not moving your business forward at all.

So there are a few things I believe are better than 117 new products for you to download.

First — you should have a core idea of why you are in business in the first place. More importantly this core idea should center around a passion and skill that you have that others want to learn from (or gain access to in some way).

Second — you should have the fundamental pieces of an internet business in place, the kinds of things I’ve been talking about this week during the Solstice Sale preview calls.

Third — you should have a powerful software script or two at your disposal to propel your business forward, but only if you understand (or are willing to learn) how to use it.

For example, I’ve been using the Butterfly Marketing script consistently for the last 16 months, as well as MyViralSpiral for 6 months. And I’ve been using Blogi360 to run my blog for the last 3 months or so.

But any other script I have purchased is likely to still be sitting on my hard drive right now.

Let me clear something up here… I am quite confident that the resources, tools, materials, etc., inside the giveaways or inside your hard drive are likely very useful by themselves.

But with so many to choose from, and with such an over abundance of tasks to complete, they are a waste of your time (and possibly money).

So on this “Super Tuesday” of product launches, I have a few more opinions I’d like to share with you, so I can help you make sense of what’s coming out, what to consider, and what I personally will be doing with this very busy day.

Before I go through this, though, remember what I told you last week.

If you have something you have invested in already, and you are still putting it into action, then you need nothing else right now until the other is at a more complete stage…

Solstice Sale
Tonight, at 9 p.m. I am hosting the third live training session of the week, and if you are at all interested in using blogs, Web 2.0, social networking, etc., then you should definitely make plans to attend. The call is not available on a replay, so be sure to be there if you want to have fun with your marketing (and great results). This is free. SolsticeSale.com

The feedback from the first 2 calls have been awesome, and it’s great to be able to help so many people teaching you what I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) over the last two years.

The Traffic Secret
Today at 11 a.m. Reed Floren releases a new product called the Traffic Secret (not to be confused with John Reese’s Traffic Secrets). Reed focuses on one traffic secret, something he knows very well — the art of the joint venture. I’ve had the chance to review his material inside, and it’s quite good. I will be endorsing it later in the month, but if forming joint ventures is at the top of your to-do list right now, then take a look at what he has put together (yes, he really is 21, and yes, he really does get a lot of traffic for a lot of people based on what he’s done over the last couple of years). Not sure of the price yet. TheTrafficSecret.com

The Traffic Secret is best for someone who has a product already, or is in the later stages of putting one together. Also, if you have a desire to do a series of teleseminars and you want to know how to approach the leaders in your niche.

117ChristmasGifts
Today at noon, Henry Gold unveils his next version of 117ChristmasGifts, a giveaway that lasts a few weeks. I’ve looked inside here as well, and even contributed a product in order to build my list, too. There are some nice gems inside, but like I said earlier, you may not need anything else.

But I don’t want to tell you to NOT sign up for it simply because I see a number of people I know who are in your position and are hoping to get some exposure here, too. So, look for these people inside: John “The Geek” (a nice cPanel interview he did with me), Stacy Makdad (on hiring a virtual assistant — she’s doing work for me as we speak), and my own contribution which is one of my favorite audio interviews I did, plus transcripts, and it’s normally for sale.

Just be sure to sign up with a separate email account that you can check but that doesn’t distract your main email. This is free, but you will sign up for a new person’s list for every gift you want to download! So be careful here… 117ChristmasGifts

Marketing Fusion Secrets
Today or later this week, you are going to hear a lot about a product called Marketing Fusion Secrets. This is a recording of a call between Mike Filsaime and Russell Brunson, who spent 3 hours talking about big strategy and little detail things they do to run their business. I have the resell rights to this product and will be offering a nice bonus, fair price and all that. It was a fantastic call and gave me a lot of ideas that I am already implementing.

More importantly though, I will be including this call and transcripts as part of an upcoming membership site at the end of the month. So take your finger off the trigger for that one until you see what I will put together for you. And really, this call is geared toward people who have already been making some money online but want a more focused strategy going forward. When it’s ready, it will be at www.MikeAndRussell.com - but right now that link goes back to this page.

MVS3
The most powerful opportunity today, in my mind, comes from my friend and mastermind partner Tim Brocklehurst. He’s releasing the third version of his MVS script, and I will tell you that I bought this some time ago from Tim and continue to use it. I don’t personally need to upgrade because every owner of MVS gets free upgrades for a year (as will you for MVS 4 if you get MVS3 today or any day).

This space isn’t large enough to explain what MVS does entirely. But I will tell you that of all the things released today, last week, or next week, this is the one single product that can have the biggest impact on your business…. And the fast action bonuses Tim is putting in the sale make it absolutely necessary that I tell you about it today, instead of waiting until later in the month.

Get it now, or read more about it on the next post.

This week and next are severely crowded. You are likely to see big name marketers promote up to 8 different things over these two weeks, and it’s extremely difficult to make sense of it all.

So you have three choices…

• Ignore them all and stick to what you are already trying to accomplish (if you have bought anything in the last two weeks, this is the best thing to do).
• Pick one of the new products and turn down everything else, and tune out any other product until you finish digesting and tearing through what you buy this week or next (if you are ready for something new to help you, then this is the best thing to do).
• Pick more than one of the products, spend a lot of money, and get none of them done because it’s too hard to focus (try not to pick this one!).

So let me share with you the

I have been very impressed with the bonuses being offered this week for the 12 Month Millionaire and other products. My favorite bonuses are the ones that offer resell rights to limited offer products. And tomorrow, Jeremy Burns is releasing a new package of 10 master resell rights products (with private label rights).

As you are bombarded with these types of offers, you may be wondering if a resell rights package is actually something you can profit from.

The truth of the matter is, 90% of the people who buy resell rights products never set up their sites (yes I made that number up based on my observations). This is because the people selling the products forget to tell you everything that’s involved.

So here’s a quick video to show you what you need to know…

The rest of this particular video is available at www.DiscovercPanel.com as part of the Diamond package. It’s a great introduction to this area of marketing online, and includes a specific walk-through with one particular product. However, it is just an introduction.

If you really want to get a handle on resell rights, you’ll need more in-depth training from someone who knows this area more than I do.

The one person who I trust the most with more training on resell rights products is Liz Tomey. She offers a ton of products that make it easy for you to turn those products into real profit for you. She and John Hostler released a course that gives you a much deeper understanding of how to make a substantial profit from resell rights.

It’s called Resell Rights Bootcamp. Check it out.

With the knowledge gained from this course, you’ll be able to take advantage of those great bonuses being offered that include resell rights products.

p.s. Resell rights products are the quickest way to make money in a pinch — as long as you know how to pick the right products and set them up properly. Learn it all with the Resell Rights Bootcamp.

From this page last night, new questioner Ray Painter asked…

“What is the fastest way to get started and see results (money) in an internet business?” — Ray

I can’t say that’s the first time I’ve heard that question. But I can say it’s one of the most important questions that I should be able to answer for you.

First, I’d say, there’s no real get rich quick scheme that I’m going to teach.

However, if you want to make some money quickly, and grow with the profits, then you have a few legitimate choices.

1. Resell rights products
2. Affiliate Marketing
3. Network Marketing

Eventually you want to create and sell your own product. And truth be told you can do that really quickly, too.

But if you have no list, no product, and no clue what you want to actually create, then these are your best bet.

Now on Tuesday, I’m going to reveal a new training mini-course to help you understand the fundamentals of affiliate marketing.

I can’t say much about it, other than it involves the core truths of affiliate marketing… and you’ll definitely want to make sure you look for my email on Tuesday.

As for network marketing, you should definitely listen to the first part at least of my seminar I held last Thursday.

I did focus on a specific company during that session, but the first 25 minutes are really just about whether network marketing is right for you.

As for resell rights, there’s definitely a right and a wrong way to do this. What most people don’t understand about resell rights is the complete process you need to follow in order for you to actually start taking orders.

Most of the people selling resell rights products conveniently leave that part out, but you probably already knew that…

So I’ve got a video for you that goes through the process…

After watching this intro video, you want to learn the complete story of how to make money quicker with resell rights products, I encourage you to pick up one of my remaining in-depth training courses I created and compiled in this area. In addition the other 3 parts of the video you just watched, it includes a 3 part ebook series and several products you can “practice with”.

I’ll be taking it down after the weekend (if they last that long) to focus on what’s coming out on Tuesday.

If you know what you are doing, resell rights are a great way to get the cash flowing, and the doubting spouses off your back a bit. Then work your way towards making your own products. Once loaded, resell rights packages make a great upsell or back end offer for your own products or membership sites that you create later.

Enjoy your weekend!
