What I learned at Clickbank Masters USA Conference in Orlando
Feb 23rd
My family and I had a great time in Orlando, Florida helping my friend and business associate Jeff Mills present his latest and I think, his best Internet Marketing conference to date… the Clickbank Masters USA three day event.
My wife Leslie lead the crew at the registration table while my son Jared and I worked the video production side of things along with our friend Grant Conklin as our audio technician. We had several others helping at the sales table and other areas and they all did a wonderful job of helping over 250 attendees to have a great experience and learn more about how to build their own online businesses.
I was blessed to meet so many wonderful people including the speakers that Jeff had lined up along with his co-host Mark. Many of the speakers taught about how they have built systems that incorporate products from Clickbank.com to earn them thousands of dollars of income each month. I’ve used Clickbank.com myself over the last few years as a place to find products that I can promote as well as purchase for myself.
It was interesting to go to my mailbox today and find my own monthly check from Clickbank.com. Even if it was not for the thousands that most of the conference speakers are getting it certainly was timely and a good reminder to follow along with what I learned this weekend to increase the size of this check.
Several of the speakers not only shared about Clickbank.com but also talked about how they make money by helping local business owners to drive traffic to their websites for leads and sales. This is a growing business opportunity for those of us who, like myself, work as online business consultants helping local business owners to get their businesses on page one in Google and other search engines and directories.
I’m trying to get caught up on my email now that I’m back home and found an interesting invitation to a live webinar this evening which focuses on a system that can help consultants like me to work with local businesses. You might have heard of this before because the concept is simple, you build websites and “rent” them to local business owners.
So why would a business like a dentist, home security company, lawn care or heating/cooling contractor want to RENT a website from you? When you build a website that Generates Leads for a Business Owner they will pay your hundreds and sometimes Thousands of dollars each month because you can provide them with new business that they are not getting from their own online efforts.
I said the concept is simple but accomplishing the task is not without a system.
What I learned at the Clickbank Masters USA conference this past weekend is… You need to build a System in order to build a solid online business that will bring in the income you want without eating up all your time trying to operate it.
This evening there is a free webinar that will show you a proven system for creating an income stream by helping local business owners. Time is short but you may still be able to reserve a virtual seat for this online webinar.
NOTE: This is a very little known but highly profitable method and the plan is to keep it that way. If you are interested, do it now, you are not gonna get another chance.

I hope to see you on there.
Oh, BTW. When you go there you will get Free access to a very cool tool for finding the best markets to offer your services to.
What Makes WordPress Such a Good Tool for Online Business?
Oct 16th

Since the introduction of WordPress in 2003 by two young programmers, Matt Mullenwag and Mike Little, WordPress has truly taken on a life of its own. Early on a key goal for this blogging software was that it would be built on Open Source code making it free for everyone from the smallest home user to major Fortune 500 businesses. The software is an ongoing creation by a community of thousands of developers around the world.
WordPress can be found in three variations on the Internet; WordPress.com, WordPress.org and WordPress MU. WordPress.com is run on a multi-user platform hosted with WordPress MU which is the multi-user version of the software. WordPress.com is a hosted website operated my Automatic.com where many of the WordPress developers work. The focus of this article is on WordPress.org which is the self-hosted version of the platform.
By 2007 WordPress was gaining a following by home based business users because of the free nature of the software, the ease of installation on a virtual server running the associated PHP script files along with MySQL database and the additional tools called plugins and widgets. This combination of simple installation and many add-on tools is one reason that WordPress is popular. Another is the built in SEO, or search engine optimization features of WordPress.
Everyone wants traffic to their website and WordPress bloggers are no different. The big advantage for those using WordPress is that it includes features that help the search engines “read†your website in the way that works best for them to build their databases of content. Search engines do not see your website with eyes like humans but thy read the content and index it.
Because WordPress includes SEO tools like; .htaccess, permalinks, blogrolling and content pinging, search engines can quickly identify the new and updated content on WordPress blogs. This non-static nature of WordPress blogs makes them a great website platform for online business owners. Text and images along with audio and video files can make up the total content of the WordPress website to make it attractive to humans and search engines alike.
Another key feature of WordPress that makes it great for online business is that it is easy to add content to without the need for a highly paid webmaster. Many business owners have paid for beautiful websites, sometimes paying hundreds or thousands of dollars, to find out later that the webmaster is slow to respond to posting changes or may become totally unreachable. It is very easy to add new posts or make page changes with WordPress. No locally installed software is needed to create the posts or pages as the entire website is server based.
Today, because of the system and tools available with WordPress, the ease of editing and updating content and the search engine optimization built into WordPress, it is an excellent platform for businesses large and small to build their online business on.

Resolve to Rank High With MSN Live Search In 2009
Dec 29th
Most marketers naturally want to have their site rank well in Google…
Hey, why not? Not only can Google send you a boatload of free traffic – it’s also highly targeted, and it’s one of the best ways to drive business.
The problem with Google is, that exact same ideal is shared with thousands of your direct competitors. This creates an environment where you’ll always be fighting, kicking and scratching to maintain your traffic – along with the ever present fear that your livelihood is only one “algorithm update” away from vanishing with the next Google Slap.
And that’s if you can even get ranked for any decent keyword, to begin with…
The fact is, only the largest, most-established authority sites can reliably see consistent traffic from Google. And even then, their rankings fluctuate constantly – several times a day, in some cases and, in different areas of the world.
We all know it’s getting harder and harder for the “little guy” to get any kind of meaningful web presence on the web these days.
Getting your website ranked in Google is almost impossible unless you’ve got a major promotional budget and some time on your hands to “wait” for your domain to become trusted (Google favors older domains). And advertising with pay-per-click ads isn’t affordable like it once was.
Search marketing has finally become what everyone feared it would – a game reserved for big business dudes with big bank accounts.
But what if there was still a way to legitimately rank for keywords that get tons of traffic?
And what if you could do this without having to spend months and even years building up an authority site to do so?
Think about it – what if you could systematically create one-page mini-sites that could rapidly rank in the top 3 spots (consistently) for basically any keyword you target within a matter of a week or so?
Is this for real? I think it is but, not with Google.
It’s happening right now, as you read this, on MSN.com Live Search.
I know what you are thinking – yes, we all know, MSN doesn’t have nearly the reach that Google does. But, it still does receive millions and millions of search users daily. After all – MSN is the default home-page for anyone who first uses Internet Explorer. And some people never change their default page after months or years of owning their PC.
So which would drive more traffic? Occupying the #1 ranking for your most desirable keyword target on MSN? Or occupying the #47 spot on page 5 of Google’s results?
Sad to say but, it’s actually more effort to make it to the 47th spot in Google than it is to literally dominate in MSN.
Do you want to know how this works? Watch this video to find out.
You just might want to give MSN a try after watching this. But it is your money…

Google Website Optimizer Helps You Drive Traffic To Your Website
Aug 9th
How do you know if your website layout, header, keywords, images, body copy and other aspects of your website are optimized to bring you the most traffic and sales?
Do you wish you had a tool that could help you to easily optimize your websites?
Would you like a free tool that would do a professional job of optimizing your website for FREE?
Well, the Google Website Optimizer is a free, professional grade SEO Tool that will help you to discover the best website design and content using A/B testing and multivariate testing tools.
Tom Leung, product manager for Google Website Optimizer, says it’s not always easy to know what drives traffic without a tool like Website Optimizer to help. “In the old days, you would just make the changes and hope for the best, or you might look at your traffic the next week and see if there were any changes in your web analytics dashboard.�
The problem with that approach, Leung explains, is that you don’t really know why you saw more or less traffic hit your website. Was it due to your design change or maybe you had a really popular blog post that week?
If you are not testing using a tool like the Google Website Optimizer or, having a professional high paid SEO consultant do the work for you, you will have no idea what causes the changes in traffic to your website.
You can access this fantastic free SEO tool along with all the training and a free support group at Google to help you. Click the video link below to watch an overview of how the Google Website Optimizer works.
