So a buddy of mine named Craig Beckta has DEFINITELY got this whole “make money online” thing down.

He’s released two best selling products on Clickbank (Secret Affiliate Code 1 and 2) and he’s about to release something called Secret Cash Blueprint!

I’ll tell a bit about Craigs story in a minute, but I must point out that his new product is limited and I’m not just saying that. He’s only got so many slots open for it so you’d better go have a look and then come back here and read the story….

Go –> Click here to check out Secret Cash Blueprint!

Pretty sweet right? Craig is what they call an “underground super affiliate” which means he makes over 6 figures per year selling other peoples products, but he does it on the down low without a lot of hoopla and hype (which is how I like it personally).

Craig’s Secret Affiliate Code I and II were among the best affiliate products of last year. That is not in doubt.

What was still iffy was whether or not he could deliver again. Well…Craig has delivered in spades!

Craig changed the whole game by doing what any good mechanic would do.He rolled up his sleeves… looked for what was broken… and replaced it with something that works.

He even added three new concepts in marketing. Three things I never saw spoken about before.

Isn’t it funny how pretty much EVERY internet marketing product that ever comes out is the greatest thing since sliced bread? I guess it’s not good sales technique to say “my product sucks but you won’t notice until long after the refund period has passed”.

I got thinking about how much it must stink to buy something and then realize that it sucked after you’d paid. Sure you could get a refund, but what a pain the butt that is.

My thinking is that it would be so much easier to just take a walk through these products and see what they’re all about before buying.

One of the hottest selling Internet Marketing packages out there right now is The Clickbank Code by Michael Jones.

Naturally it boasts having the “blueprint to online wealth” and all that jazz.

I say let’s see about that. I’ve got my mitts on a copy and what I’d like to do is give you a guided video tour through this course to see what it entails so you can decide if it’s for you or not.

I’ll post how to get the videos here on my blog when they are recorded.

Until then, you can check it out at this link to see what I’m talking about….

I’ve learning an awful lot lately. I stopped trying so hard to learn about business and money and started paying more attention to people, their actions and relationships.

“Shia LaBeouf has a meaningless life” was a headline that caught my eye on an online new headline.

If you don’t know who Mr. LaBeouf is, let me bring you up to speed. Shia is a young actor who has appeared in movies like Transformers, Eagle Eye, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Disturbia and many others.

I found it interesting and mildly disturbing that Shia would find his life ‘meaningless’. Be forewarned, I’m not about to go off on some “movie stars have it so great and don’t know how lucky they are” tirade. I find it disturbing because I thought:

A) I really hope he’s not feeling meaningless enough to end his life.
B) What does his life lack that would make it have meaning?
C) If I were to be standing face to face with Shia, could I teach him the things I’VE learned and would that have a profound enough impact to allow whim to see meaning in his life
D) What makes a persons life have meaning?

Pretty deep stuff for a Sunday evening blog post on a blog that is geared toward Internet Marketing right?

Since this is a blog that very few people read, I’m sure Shia LaBeouf will never make it here to read this but if he happens to, I ask this? Shia, what are you missing that is making your life lack meaning? What do you have in our life that gives you joy and is rewarding?

I mean, here I am…a child of the recession so to speak (job eaten up by the recession, two babies to feed, mortgage to pay, wife to keep happy etc) and I’m only 35 years old. Shia might think I’m an old fart since I was already getting pubes when he came into the world, but here’s the thing….

EVERYTHING has the meaning that you give it! I REALLY and I mean REALLY REALLY believe this. I never used to but it has caught on.

I wanted to be an actor for a while. People told me I was funny and was a “character” so I went to some auditions, got passed over and moved on. I could have written my life off at that point as being “meaningless” but instead I went on to other things.

In those “other things” I found ways that I could add value to other peoples lives and I think that is part of what Shia LaBeouf is lacking.

Shia has money, he has fame, in many ways he kind of has the world by the short and curlies and just doesn’t know it. The part that he’s lacking is WAY more huge than any amount of money, houses, cars or acting career could EVER replace though and that’s VALUE.

My next question to Shia would be “do you see the value that you’re adding to the world?” followed by “do you think that others value what you’re giving to the world?”

If he couldn’t answer either of those or said no to the second question, it’s time to find something that Shia can do to add value.

See, I used to say that I didn’t care what other people thought of me. In some cases that’s still true as I live for my family and myself and not the whole population. BUT…we all care what others think about us to some degree and if Shia knew in his heart that he was adding true value to the lives of others, that feeling of “meaninglessness would disappear”

Shia, would you like to learn how to fix this easily? Have your agent call me/email me/Twitter me etc. or reach out yourself. You’ve got the keys, you just need to find out which one opens the door your face is pressed up against!

Isn’t it funny how things have different meaning to different people? One that REALLY get’s me as I learn all I can about internet marketing is “step-by-step”. Some of these folks are running very successful information marketing businesses and are making very healthy sums of money but what they consider to be “step-by-step” is a joke.

I had to do an exercise in English class in college where we got into groups and we had to write step by step instructions on how to chew gum. It was interesting to see how little details left out can mean so much. Do you like chewing gum with the wrapper on? I thought not.

I’ve seen the inside of some VERY expensive internet marketing products and training programs and it’s baffling to me how many holes were in some of them.

The general consensus is that most people who fail in internet marketing do so because they don’t take directed action and apply what was taught in the course material. I’m sure that happens VERY often.

On the other hand, I’m going to bat for the people who really do take action but are working with a flawed or incomplete product that leaves steps out which causes frustration and eventually failure for the user.

Am I going somewhere with this rant? You bet your boots! I’ve been talking to some of my mentors and am currently putting into action some of their lessons. There will be a step-by-step procedure drawn up when I’ve gone thru the steps myself and refined them.

When complete and you get it in your hot little hands, I want to see how many people we can get thru the program and what their results are.

Stay tuned…this is going to get interesting!

Wow,

Sometimes you come across something so simple and for a great price that you almost ignore it and write it off as a “too good to be true” kind of thing.

Now that my wife and I both work from home, it takes a TON of discipline and dedication to keep things organized and on track.

Having a 4 year old and an 8 month old in the house makes things extra crazy! Now that the 4 year old will be done junior kindergarten in a few weeks, we were just talk yesterday about how on earth we were going to manage out time and grow our businesses.

Today I stumbled upon a sweet little application that allows you to plan and track your day and so far it seems awesome.

Check it out here and take control of your day!

This is what they mean when they say “work smarter not harder”!

Congratulations on winning back that time you were wasting!

Jimmy D Brown has put out a report on 10 different ways you can make $10,000 per month. I’d be interested to see what method people like and how they do with the chosen method.

Naturally, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses so some of the methods may not interest you but with 10 listed in the report, there should be AT LEAST one that you enjoy and can run with. Heck, do more than one and pocket many $10g’s per month.

BUT…never, NEVER, EVER try more than one of these methods at once! Get one going and run it as far as you can and get it profitable before starting on a second method. This warning is for both you and I. We all tend to suffer from “shiny new thing” syndrome in Internet Marketing and I’m no exception.

I’m currently working on method #1 and will be posting here when it’s ready.

Go grab your copy of the report now… http://tinyurl.com/10ways-to-10K

It kind of stings a bit for as a yet another month begins. It stings because having daughters 4 years old and 6 months old means that weather I want them to or not, they’re getting older right before my eyes.

The current crappy job market means a month has ended with no new job. That marks my longest layoff EVER and that makes me sick to my stomach. On the other hand, my wife’s business has just experienced it’s best month to date including it’s largest growth month to date, so that’s cool.

My own home business is plugging along and great progress has been made there as well.

So, back to the question at hand. What will YOU do with this month? If you are one of the unfortunate to have lost their job, will you put out 10 more resumes this month than you did in March? Will start a new business idea that you’ve been kicking around?

I plan to launch 2 more websites, increase traffic and sales to the two I started in March and to finally hear back from at least one of the excellent jobs I applied for last month.

I realize that the last thing is sort of out of my control but with the fancy pants “all electronic” method of accepting peoples job applications that companies are using these day, I figure it opens them up for cold calls from applicants.

I’m not sure they actually realize how utterly nerve racking it is to be sitting at home with mouths to feed and resumes out to some great jobs with no phone calls because nobody has “gotten around to it yet”.

Tell you what, my daughters and my wife and I will be over at 4:59pm every day for supper until you find the time to call your applicants back or at least email to say thanks but no thanks. No salt for me please….I’m trying to cut down…

I love success stories. I also love to hear the truth. When it comes to internet marketing, there is so much bullshit out there that it’s hard to separate the facts from the b.s.

When someone says “Make $346,497 in 20 minutes without doing ANYTHING” you should KNOW that you’re being fed a line of crap. If you don’t and that sounds like a great deal, please email me your credit card number and I’ll process your order instantly.

Ewen Chis is a different story. He spent his time learning internet marketing between the hours of 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. every day between 1997 and 2002 and he did it while holding down a full time job! He also ran up over $50,000 in credit card debt buying every book and course he could find on internet marketing.

He’s finally put out his own book that tells how he did everything and he’s over delivering BIG TIME. If you buy today, he’s throwing in $1,894 worth of bonuses.

Go grab it now before the bonuses are gone…..click on the book cover below….

So I read a post by a very unhappy person on the Warrior forum today and it really hit home. Given the stuff that has happened to me in the last couple of months, I could really relate to his (will call them a he as the left no name) situation VERY well.

My wife is a director with Mary Kay cosmetics and people joke that the Mary Kay ladies “live in a pink cloud”. While I cannot confirm or deny this, I think it’s hilarious. The reason they are in this mindset of the pink cloud is because they inspire each other to be their best.

They share all kinds of inspirational audios and videos and even hire motivational speakers to appear at their events. They’re all into The Secret (some to a ridiculous degree) but the point is that the power that drives them and allows them to succeed is MINDSET. They fail forward gracefully.

Now I hope this posters drops by my blog, finds inspiration and hope and pulls himself out of the drudgery mood he’s in. Internet Marketing (despite what many would like to have you believe) is a long and drawn out learning process for most of us and the $2 million in 90 days scheme just doesn’t happen for most…if any.

I have a domain that I bought shortly after I heard the words “internet marketing” and that domain is www.marketingnewbielaunchpad.com The idea there was that I’d seen hundreds and hundreds of new marketers posting about how lost and confused they were and I wanted to help them out once I figured out what the heck I was doing. I also love to interview experts and pick their brains about how they build their businesses. Many marketers do teleseminars and then sell the audios. Sylvie calls these folks “teleseminar idiots”. She’s very shy and doesn’t always speak her mind but I get what she’s saying.

Anywho, I still wanted to do these interviews and I have done a could and will be sharing them for free on my newbie launchpad site. Does that make me worse than an idiot because I not only did it but also did it for free? I have no idea.

Bottom line is people like my friend in the post I mentioned will never be alone as long as that site, this blog and I exist.

In the first interview, you’re going to hear a friend of mine named Craig who makes a very nice living online as a super affiliate and product creator and in the second interview you’ll hear another friend who is a motivational speaker with a passion for helping people manifest their dreams.

Stay tuned to this blog for details as to when my site goes live….shouldn’t be long now!

Stay positive!

I’ve added a page onto the blog for photos of some cool peeps I’ve met in my travels. Either I don’t meet many people or I don’t travel enough…or both.

The first few photos were taken while I was at Armand Morin Live in Phoenix in December 2008. It was my first Internet Marketing seminar and I loved it.

I learned a lot from Armand’s teaching but I also learned a whole lot about the business of Internet Marketing. I learned that it’s a pretty close knit family of people. There’s a core group of people that are all doing really well and making good money online and off. While I did do a little schmoozing with the group of rockstar marketers, I also met some very cool people who are at that level yet.

All in all I’d say the biggest lesson was if you want to make money online bad enough, never give up, get yourself to a seminar, don’t be shy and go meet people. It might cause a JV dsown the road when they actually remember you from the seminar.

I met a dude named Jack Bosch www.jackbosch.com who is a real estate investor from Phoenix who made his first Internet Marketing product and in his first year as an Internet Marketer, made a million dollars.

If you’d like to hear his story and see how you can apply some of his learnings, I’m going to be doing an interview with him soon. Go to the box on the top right of my blog and sign up and you’ll be notified as soon as the interview is available.
