Is everything you know about Web 2.0 wrong?

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

That’s what legendary online marketing and publishing expert Alan R. Bechtold says. Actually, he said “Web 2.0 is CRAP!” Sorry. Those were HIS words, not mine!

Jeff Wark and Lori Steffen, the “Dynamic Duo of Content,” obviously disagree with Alan’s harsh assessment. So much so that they’ve set up a blog and loaded it up with some amusing videos calling Alan out on the matter.

You can visit their blog at:
www.Web2IsWhat.com

Check out the comments. Add your own and enter the discussion. Enjoy the funny videos. It’s a HOOT!

It seemed, for a while, that Alan was determined to ignore Jeff and Lori’s tauntings. Finally, he decided to hold a special Webinar where he’ll reveal exactly what he meant by his seemingly outrageous statement, how you can best profit from the REAL Web 2.0, and why you could face serious problems in the very near future if you ignore it.

The Webinar is coming right up tonight, August 30, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern U.S. Space is limited and I don’t want you to miss this.

I have a feeling there’s more to this “argument” than meets the eye. That means there could be more to Alan’s Webinar than he’s letting on, too — so I know I’ll be on the call!

Will you?

After you’ve checked out Jeff and Lori’s blog, visit this link to register for Alan’s call. He agreed to hold a few seats for me when I told him I wanted my list members to benefit from what he’s going to reveal — but there aren’t many left, so hurry!

Alan’s Webinar

Thanks — I’ll see you on the Webinar!

You don’t even have to call in with a phone plastered to your ear, paying long distance to listen, unless that’s what you prefer. You can also log in and listen live, without long-distance, over the Web! Register now.

The videos are a HOOT but Alan can be even funnier. After all who else would bring a donkey to lunch at JV Alert.

Yep it works… but only if you do

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

A few days ago I posted about needing to generate extra money quickly. I needed to order two windows that would cost me $700. Thought this would be a perfect way to test the I Need Cash Now program from Netslingers.

Well, yesterday I withdrew $700 out of my Paypal account to my checking account to pay for the windows. 4 days and over $1000 extra is not bad.

The nice part is that following the structure I now have something that if I run it 4 times over the next year it will generate an extra $10,000 next year easily.

I do give their program a strong recommendation. It works if you follow it.

Bureaucratic BS

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Well I need two new windows. One of the things I have is a triplex that I live in.

Unfortunately in this area it is a bit depressed and if you are going to rent apartments you need to deal with the housing authority as the vast majority of the tenant pool gets subsidized rents.

Well to make what could easily become a rant about the bureaucrats that I end up dealing with I need to get two windows replaced.

The bottom line is I now need $700 quickly that wasn’t budgeted for.

One of the things I like about the program that Andy Duncan and Steve Roye have called I Need Cash Now is that this won’t be a problem.

==> I Need Cash Now

They show you how to easily create cash now. Using one of these methods I will generate $1000-$2000 extra by next week.

The last time I needed this I used this method and generated more than the $700 easily in a week. See whenever something unexpected happens I can go back and reapply the techniques and add a bit extra into the budget very quickly.

What I really like about this is that each and every method is actionable quickly.

Now you do need to actually apply these methods and it does take just a bit of that 4 letter w word. (WORK)

But…

Follow the steps and you can generate extra cash very quickly.

==> I Need Cash Now

If you are a doer and will take ACTION this is a no brainer.

Should you or shouldn’t you???

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Today I want to discuss something you will see a lot of email about. The hype will be overwhelming.

It is the Hidden Sales Project from Jeff Dedrick.

Yesterday I posted about the promo video.

Now lets cut through the hype. I have reviewed a copy and there is great information and the price is unbelievable.

Because of the size of the launch I am sure there will be some huge bonus packages offered.

Do me a favor?

Don’t get caught up in the hype and read this checklist first.

If you would rather be impulsive you can see the site here.

Hidden Sales Project

The real question to ask though is it for you?

Lets look at it from that perspective

Here are the people that shouldn’t buy this.

- You have no clue on getting your first site online.

- You don’t even have an idea for a product

- You haven’t started building an email list

Here are the people that should buy this.

- You have a product or membership site

- You are diligently working towards one

If you are in the first category DO NOT BUY THIS.

Take the time to start on the three things you are missing and ignore anything that doesn’t help you get that done.

The focus will benefit you.

If you are in the second category this would be a great addition for you if you have and will take the time to use and apply it.

The material is valuable and will help you but again buying this or any other product isn’t the key.

The application is. Make your decision and if it is yes you can check it out at

Hidden Sales Project

Hope this has helped you to make the RIGHT decision for YOU.

If this has been helpful do me a favor and leave a comment.

Hidden Sales Project

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Here is an intersting story that pertains to Jeff Dedrick’s Hidden Sales Project.

It looks at the way Harley Davidson does there overall marketing. What can we learn from Harley?

Okay, here’s what this post is about. A friend of mine — Jeff Dedrick — was telling me about what he learned from Harley-Davidson motorcycles:

They DON’T make most of their money selling motorcycles!

Nope.

Most of the fat stacks of Harley cash come from all the OTHER stuff they sell their customers: shirts, leather, helmets, and about a gazillion other accessories.

Amazing.

But…

—————————————————–
HERE’S WHAT REALLY BLEW ME AWAY
—————————————————–

Jeff then told me about a buddy of his that just finished up a “product launch” of an ebook.

I know — yawn. How boring, right?

Until you realize that his “ebook launch” did nearly $90,000.

But that was just the beginning…

——————————————
THE $400,000 EBOOK LAUNCH
——————————————

Jeff told me that this “buddy” of his was just getting started with that $90,000.

The magic was in what happened AFTER the first sale was made — much like what Harley does with all their “side” or “back end” items.

This “little ebook launch” ended up doing $400,000.

You read that right.

$400,000.

———————————
THIS PISSED ME OFF
———————————

The reason it pissed me off is: I realized that even though I often “think” I’m watching a launch and understanding what’s going on…

…I’m MISSING the real action that happens behind the scenes.

Get it?

The “front end” product is NEVER the REAL STORY for successful marketers.

Even on what you might ASSUME is a “small” product launch.

You know, like a “little ebook”.

These are the “hidden sales”.

And the HIDDEN SALES are where ALL THE MONEY IS MADE.

————————————————————–
WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR THE WHOLE STORY
————————————————————–

Jeff had his “buddy” (a well-known marketer) create a short video showing exactly how he made all his money from this ebook launch.

You can watch the video here:

==> Video

Yeah, yeah, I know.

You can smell a “prelaunch” coming, right?

Well, relax.

This video does NOT require you to sign up for anything:

You can watch the video online, it’s less than 14 minutes long, and it will blow your mind.

It is NOT a “pitch” for anything.

It’s actual content.

And I DEFY you to watch it and not learn SOMETHING.

And hey, if they hypnotize you into opting in ANYWAY… that’s not MY fault. ;-)

Trust me, you WANT TO SEE THIS VIDEO. Yes, it’s part of an evil plan to sell you something. But you have a will of iron. Learn from the video and avoid the temptation to buy anything if you must… but GET the video!
