Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

So I’m patiently waiting for my SIMPLE home study course to be completed based on the live event I held 2 weeks ago. Over the next 6 weeks, the audio, video, transcripts, and bonus 30 day implementation program will be compiled and ready for release. I’m shooting for my birthday (April 26) for the program to be available.

To tell you the truth, I’m very excited about it, but it’s a daunting task bringing all the pieces together!

In the meantime, I’d like to teach a virtual workshop to help you with your business even before the SIMPLE home study course is ready. I’ve narrowed down the areas I would personally enjoy teaching this time of year to 3, and I need your help to pick which one to actually do.

So please take a quick moment to rank these 3 potential virtual workshops as it would fit what you need right now.

Since you’re reading this today, I can assume that you are a past, or current customer of mine, or an active affiliate, which makes you eligible for a special event I’m hosting this summer.

I’ll be hosting “Bob The Teacher’s Class Reunion” in Northwest Florida in mid to late June. The details are being finalized, but basically…

• if you’d like to hang out at a warm, white sandy beach this summer,
• if you want to pick up a few more profitable internet marketing strategies for your business,
• if you’d like to connect with potential joint venture partners and affiliates,
• if you’d like to get away from your home office cocoon (or that soul-sucking day job) for a couple of days,
• if you’d like a unique seminar experience where you are not pressured to buy something every 90 minutes,
• if you’d like to mastermind your business products and services,
• if you’ve enjoyed learning from me in the past and want to connect in person…

then please show your interest with a comment below!

Tell me what course or coaching program you’ve enjoyed the most, and how it’s improved how you do your business.

Bob

p.s. The official invites will be going out on March 21, but if you comment below, I’ll send you a special link early.

This video you’re about to watch rocks!

One of the faculty members at SIMPLE is Lon Naylor, from ScreenCastProfit.com. He just made this video today to demonstrate his mad skills with Camtasia and Sony Vegas. He was inspired by the Google Super Bowl ad that aired during the Saints win against the Colts.

Enjoy!

Press play

Although we can’t promise you’ll turn into a video genius just by attending SIMPLE, Lon will be breaking down how he puts these videos together and how you can profit from screencast videos as an affiliate marketer and as a product creator – 2 of the essential pieces of the SIMPLE profit formula.

p.s. Lon will be at SIMPLE the whole weekend, too. Like all the speakers and VIPs I invited to this event, he’s even better in person!

We’re a few days away from SIMPLE, and for many of the people coming, it will be their very first event. I’m honored and privileged to host that experience for them.

And it reminds me of my very first event I ever attended.

What a jump start that was for my business! But I almost didn’t go.

I was still working full time then. It wasn’t easy to take off work. In all ten years in the classroom I missed a total of 11 days!

But something in my gut told me that I needed to get there. I had been trying to get going with my internet marketing business and was slowly gaining traction. This was in September of 2006. I had invested about $3000 in mentoring at that point; another $4000 in wasted Adwords; and lots of little expenses on ebooks and gizmos that added up to a lot, especially on my teaching salary.

Fortunately, the event – The Internet Marketing Main Event II – was in Baltimore. Literally 15 minutes from my house. If it wasn’t so close, I would have let any number of excuses get in my way for going.

Boy would that have been a tragic mistake!

Over at IM Success Library, I’ve started coaching my brother through the start up phases of his new website, RestaurantManagerSecrets.com.

So that you can learn along with him, and see the exact strategic and tactical advice is the same for you as it is for my brother, you can eavesdrop through the process. This is called “Fishbowl Coaching”, where I coach & teach him, but you get to watch along the way.

Here’s a segment of the first session we did earlier in the week. The entire first session was based on getting a game plan together for the 3-phases of the SIMPLE formula, and focusing on phase 1, which is connecting to an appropriate affiliate product.

But before we get to the product, it was important to do a few things on the back side of his website.

Take a look!

And if you’d like to learn from the rest of Session 1, and be part of the next 2 sessions, jump over to the IMSL Case Study page.

I’m at NAMS now after an awesome 2 day mastermind in Las Vegas.

I’m a bit exhausted, to tell you the truth, since I had to fly overnight through Philly to get to Atlanta.

Anyway, I have a Friday freebie for you that I think you’ll really like.

As you think of how you’ll manage your time and resources for the next year, use this list of the top 5 profit activities to guide you.

1. Build a List

First and foremost you need to be building a list.  You need to be building a list.   Now this doesn’t just mean building a list of contacts.  It doesn’t just mean building an e-mail list in an auto responder.   It means you’re building up a group of people who know who you are, who anticipate hearing from you and are willing and able to follow what you’re doing and take action on what you’re offering.

So it comes in the form of an e-mail list like a service like Aweber.  It also comes in the format of your social networks like Facebook friends or fans or Twitter followers in other resources.  You’ve got to be the person that people want to connect to.  If you’re promoting something anonymously there’s no real way for you to build a list very effectively.  People want to connect with a human being.  They want to get to know you.  They want to get to know your business, your personal life a little bit.  They just want to get to know you so they know they can trust you.

So you’ve got to be focused on building up your list.

Tomorrow is National Pie Day in the United States.

And although that brings to mind delicious slices of warm Apple pie, with a flaky crust and vanilla bean ice cream on top, there’s a business metaphor in here as well.

Sorry to ruin your taste buds fun :)

In business, you’ll often hear people talk about getting a bigger piece of “the pie”. In the traditional marketplace, this means your slice gets bigger when you take more away from the others, i.e., your competition.

Unfortunately, this is a win-lose situation that typically results in a rush to take away from your slice, too.

I’m on the internet marketer’s cruise, and I thought I’d share a lesson I learned this week from the trip.

As a former history teacher, the one thing at the top of my to-do list during this trip was to see Mayan archaeology. So during our stop in Cozumel on Monday, we took a trip to Tulum in Mexico.

Tulum was a walled city on the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. Today’s site still shows ample evidence of the amazing astronomical knowledge of the Mayans, and the importance of this particular site to their civilization.

But to be honest, without any context or background, the site is a bunch of stone structures on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think what you saw there were the remnants of builders who gave up in the middle of a project.

That’s where Manuel comes in.

With 2009 coming to a close, it’s important to get an idea of what you’ll need in 2010 for your business to stand out, and for your income to be higher and more stable than ever before.

Of course, you may want to forget 2009 as fast as possible. After all, if you came up well short of your expectations, you may want to put the last year in a paper sack and burn it.

But, as they say – those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And being a former history teacher, it’s essential that we pay attention.

So there are 3 things that your business will need. But before I share those with you, let’s learn…
