			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I just got back from the Farmer&#8217;s Market here and there was a package in the doorway when we pulled up.</p>

<p>Maude asks me what is this?</p>

<p>It was the preview of the new Stomping the search engines 2.</p>

<p>Now I have not promoted Stomper products before despite the quality and the kudos I hear from friends that have used their products.</p>

<p>Why?</p>

<p>Because I haven&#8217;t reviewed them. This time I got a preview copy so I will see what the hullabaloo is and let you know. If I disappear tomorrow you will know what I am doing <img src='http://mikepaetzold.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Will let you know in a few days what I think.</p>

<p>As always your questions and comments are welcomed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just finished listening to Marlon&#8217;s quick start call for purchasers of his new <a href="http://www.mikepaetzoldlikes.com/promodashboard" target="_blank">Promo Dashboard</a>. This is a call you need to get on if you possibly can.</p>

<p>He explains in his down home fashion the total process step by step. There is information for someone who started today and some for experienced marketers too. Definitely worth the time I spent and I can&#8217;t say that for all calls I listen to.</p>

<p>I know that he is going to have one more as a bonus for purchases of his <a href="http://www.mikepaetzoldlikes.com/promodashboard" target="_blank">Promo Dashboard</a> so if you have been thinking about it you should grab it now before the call offer expires.</p>

<p>It really is one of the best step by step plans I have seen.</p>

<p>As always your comments and questions are welcomed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well missed last week because of the Focus Seminar but it was a great time and I strongly recommend that you get to an off line seminar as soon as you can. Got to catch up with old friends and meet lots of new ones.</p>

<p>So been extremely busy catching up all week but did take Friday night off to go watch my great nephew race his go cart. Was good to get away and do something new. You can see how things go for Josh at <a href="http://jhnmotorsports.com" target="_blank">JHN Motor Sports</a>. Now to teach my niece how to blog properly <img src='http://mikepaetzold.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Speaking of seminars you can still catch the tale end of <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/impact-boot-camp-live" target="_blank">Impact Boot Camp </a> Live which is being held as I write this in Philly.</p>

<p>One of the projects I did get finished this week was a new blog - <a href="http://threeturtlemarketing.com" target="_blank">Three Turtle Marketing</a>. I have added a previous post from here there as I am using that new blog for when I use what is happening with my three turtles that teaches me marketing lessons. I will also be adding various lessons there and the first is &#8220;How to use PLR properly to generate profits and traffic&#8221;.</p>

<p>I continue to be extremely impressed and am making powerful changes in my promotion strategy and seeing instant results from Marlon Sander&#8217;s <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/promodashboard" target="_blank">Promotion Dashboard</a>. This is a great tool you really need in your arsenal.</p>

<p>After you check out the article on PLR over at Three turtle Marketing you should check out a great offer from Doug Champigny - <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/10plr" target="_blank">PLR Spectacular</a>. The price on this is unbelievable and if you follow the steps in the article you will make many times the small price.</p>

<p>Doug has also released a <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/plrinfo" target="_blank">free series of tips </a> on using PLR that go into much more detail on properly using PLR. He will also give you 50 PLR articles free just for signing up.</p>

<p>So that is it for this week and I will try to get totally back on schedule this week.</p>

<p>As always your comments and questions are welcomed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been anxiously awaiting this day since I first heard about it. Today Marlon Sander&#8217;s released his <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/promodashboard" target="_blank">Promo Dashboard</a>.</p>

<p>Well about 8am this morning the awaited email hit my email box and before 9am I was a proud owner of <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/promodashboard" target="_blank">Promo Dashboard</a>. (And it was much less than I expected) Spent the next hour plus just going through it quickly.</p>

<p>Needless to say I have not been disappointed in it. Like all of Marlon&#8217;s dashboards it has an easy step by step interface but here is the thing -</p>

<p>Whether or not you are brand new or have been doing this for a while you will find tips and ways to improve your response.</p>

<p>First after going through it I don&#8217;t find any step missing and great tips from Marlon on the marketing process. If you are brand new this will save you tons of time and frustration in getting your marketing funnel set up.</p>

<p>If you have been having some success this will show you ways to improve your process. That includes</p>

<ul>
<li>Targeting your market (probably the most important step)</li>
<li>Creating your offer</li>
<li>Then he goes through all of the various technical items like - creating your <a href="http://mikepaetzold.com/tags/squeeze-page/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with squeeze page">squeeze page</a>, setting up your autoresponder,and getting your pages online</li>
<li>Last but certainly not least and the part I will be using the most is the promotion section and ways to improve your promotion</li></ul>

<p>This like all of Marlon&#8217;s products I own and have reviewed gets my highest recommendation and at the price it is an absolute no-brainer.</p>

<p><a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/promodashboard" target="_blank">Get Promo Dashboard</a></p>

<p>Your questions and comments are welcomed.</p>

My goal is two fold - to win a free copy of this new product and the topic is one that will create quality content here for you my reader.</p>

<p><strong>*Caveat</strong> - <em>I will be linking to their promotion blog but have not seen or reviewed this product so I am not making a recommendation or using an affiliate link. I am also not interested in the $5 payment for creating a track back. This is being done because whether I win or not it will add good content to the blog.</em></p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>If you were to start from scratch with NO list, NO JV partners in your niche, and all you have is $100 capital, what would you do to start making sales for your niche membership site within just 15 days?”</em></strong></p></blockquote>

<p>My first step would be to open Free Mind and chart my course by mapping out what I need to accomplish.</p>

<p align="center"><a title="Discover Free Mind" href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/freemind" target="_blank"><img height="178" alt="niche" src="http://mikepaetzold.com/wp-content/uploads/niche.jpg" width="450" /></a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The budget</strong></p>

<ol dir="ltr">
<li>
<div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left">Autoresponder - <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/aweber" target="_blank">Aweber</a> would be my choice and would cost about $20</div></li>
<li>
<div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left">Domain - Can be purchased for $10 or less</div></li>
<li>
<div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left">Hosting - <a href="http://www.ZootHost.com/hosting/aff.php?aff=002" target="_blank">Zoot Host</a> you can get plenty for less than $10 a month</div></li>
<li>
<div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left">Article Writing - 5 articles at $10 each (you can pay more or less but that is what I normally pay except for very specialized topics)</div></li>
<li>
<div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left">Article Submission - <a href="http://www.isnare.com/?refid=bWpwYWV0QHlhaG9vLmNvbQ==" target="_blank">Isnare</a> will cost you $10 for 5 article submissions</div></li></ol>

<p><strong>The process</strong></p>

<p><strong>Keyword research</strong> - Finding the right keywords is the key to profitability and recommend that you check out the <a href="http://www.ThirtyDayChallenge.com/challenge/22857" target="_blank">30 Day Challenge</a> for some of the best free training available.</p>

<p><strong>Give away idea</strong> - Would use an e-course only because of the budget and time frame. Normally I would create an e-book, audio or video for this with a quality graphic but not with this time frame and budget.</p>

<p><strong>Order articles</strong> - This would be based on the keyword research and the topic that would be used for my giveaway e-course. Will be reusing content extensively on this project (and I usually do reuse the content.)</p>

<p><strong>Set up Hosting and get a domain name</strong> - Now that I have the keyword research from which I expect to get my traffic I would use a keyword rich domain name and get it set up.</p>

<p><strong>Create <a href="http://mikepaetzold.com/tags/squeeze-page/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with squeeze page">squeeze page</a> and set up may autoresponder</strong> - Will use the articles as a base for my autoresponder series. If you are not familiar and comfortable with HTML would go get a <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/freesite" target="_blank">free web site editor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Submit my articles</strong> - Use <a href="http://www.isnare.com/?refid=bWpwYWV0QHlhaG9vLmNvbQ==" target="_blank">Isnare</a> to submit the 5 articles to the various directories with a signature file leading back to my <a href="http://mikepaetzold.com/tags/squeeze-page/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with squeeze page">squeeze page</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Set up a Wordpress blog on the domain</strong> - This will be in a folder behind the <a href="http://mikepaetzold.com/tags/squeeze-page/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with squeeze page">squeeze page</a> and the folder will be named for my main keyword from my research. Use the content from rewriting the articles in smaller pieces to create 15 blog posts targeting my main keywords with each post. Add a slide in from my autoresponder account that will show on each post to give away my e-course.</p>

<p><strong>Create the traffic net</strong> - Use the article content to create 3-5 <a href="http://mikepaetzold.com/tags/squidoo/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with squidoo">Squidoo</a> lenses, Hub Pages and Wet Paint Wiki for my top keywords. Add the RSS feed of my main blog to each of these.</p>

<p>Create a WordPress.com and a Blogger blog for a quick back link to the new blog. If you have sufficient time you can rewrite some of the articles to add a couple other posts that will link to your <a href="http://mikepaetzold.com/tags/squeeze-page/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with squeeze page">squeeze page</a>.</p>

<p>You can also start a bookmarking campaign to all parts of the traffic net and the article sites that your article shows up on.</p>

<p>This is a real down and dirty routine and you can get a lot more detail if you grab the &#8220;Build Your Business Series&#8221; by signing up for the updates here.</p>

<p>This blog post is for an entry for the ‘Power Memberships’ Pre-Launch Contest. Check out how you can win for yourself a $11,000/month PLR membership at <a href="http://contest.powermemberships.com/pre-launch-contest/">http://contest.powermemberships.com/pre-launch-contest/</a></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hopefully you took the time to see the videos I recommended on Saturday&#8217;s Week In review.  They show you how to easily create and use this new system from James Grandstaff.</p>

<p><a href="http://InstantMLMSqueezePages.com/?r=216" target="_blank">Instant MLM Squeeze Pages</a></p>

<p>Having a give away of value and gathering leads is my number one recommendation for starting your business and is covered in detail inside the Business Building Series (hint - you can get it from the form in the side bar <img src='http://mikepaetzold.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>You also need traffic and James has covered that too and even allowed you to generate additional traffic from your downlines.</p>

<p>Finally, he has full tracking to show you exactly what is working for you. Then to make it even better he provides you with swipe files to generate your follow up series. All the pieces are there and you can try it out for just $1.</p>

<p><a href="http://InstantMLMSqueezePages.com/?r=216" target="_blank">Instant MLM Squeeze Pages</a></p>

<p>A quick review of what is included.</p>

<p> - Premade professional squeeze pages (would cost you $100 or more to have them made for you)</p>

<p> - Quality give away book with your links (would cost you $500 or more to have ghostwritten and get quality graphics)</p>

<p> - Traffic generation lessons (invaluable)</p>

<p> - Tracking on what exactly is working for you ($15 a month or more)</p>

<p> - Step by step follow up series training (invaluable)</p>

<p>You can try it all to test drive it for just $1.</p>

<p><a href="http://InstantMLMSqueezePages.com/?r=216" target="_blank">Instant MLM Squeeze Pages</a></p>

<p>See this covers all the pieces to get you started. Check it out now.</p>

<p>Mike Paetzold</p>

<p>P.S. Do pay attention to the Platinum upgrade as that will allow you to add this directly into your AWeber autoresponder and allow you to make this a lazy system for your recruiting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boy it is August already. Hope you have been having a profitable summer.</p>

<p>This is a grerat time to get things ready for the &#8220;upsurge&#8221; when the people come back in September. I purposely put that in quotes because I really don&#8217;t see a downturn in the summer. Part of that is that this is a world wide market. Part of it is if you keep working you keep making.</p>

<p>It certainly hasn&#8217;t slowed down the various launches this summer and looking at the various JV notification lists that isn&#8217;t changing this month.</p>

<p>The good part of the launch frenzy is that there is a lot of good free content out there for you this week.</p>

<p>First on the list are some great videos about <a href="http://www.instantmlmsqueezepages.com/?r=216" target="_blank">Squeeze Pages</a> from James Grandstaff. There are 3 great videos there and he has more info coming. Squeeze pages are the key to building a sustainable business and something that is a stumbling block for a lot of people.</p>

<p><a href="http://mikepaetzold.com/tags/marlon-sanders/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Marlon Sanders">Marlon Sanders</a> has a <a href="http://getyourprofits.com/z/396/CD15293" target="_blank">great video </a> and a great podcast available on product promotion. You also get a chance to win $300 by commenting on Marlon&#8217;s blog. Marlon is one of the best promoters I have seen and has been doing it for years. You want to check these out.</p>

<p>Yesterday the <a href="http://www.ThirtyDayChallenge.com/challenge/22857" target="_blank">30 Day Challenge</a> began and again there is a lot of good free information there for you. There are no promos during the 30 days and the quality of information is always excellent.</p>

<p>I have also changed up my site <a href="http://videosforbeginners.com" target="_blank">Videos For Begiiners </a> so if you are looking for some good how to videos for free check it out.</p>

<p>Now to the not free stuff.</p>

<p>I just changed and upgraded my site for the <a href="http://wptutorial.com/member/index.php" target="_blank">7 Tips Book</a> and added the latest newsletter in the member&#8217;s area. It covers the latest WordPress 2.6 review, 3 plugins I like and of course the ramblings I do each month. Logi in if you have previously purchased and get the latest newsletter.</p>

<p>Alex Syseof released his <a href="http://mikepaetzoldlikes.com/expertwp" target="_blank">Expert WordPress</a> site this week and it will allow you to add a new blog in 3 steps with all the plugins installed.</p>

<p>Thats all for this week but there is a lot more coming so make sure you have grabbed the ebook and signed up for the updates on the upper right hand side.</p>

<p>Your comments and questions are welcomed.</p>
