Let’s cut to the chase here .. If you want to learn how to get and stay at the top of Free search, Dan and Leslie are the best teachers. They taught me everything I know and use.

No BS, I will be buying into the Link Liberation coaching program today. I want to get access to the new software, and I also want to see what’s new in the program. It’s been awhile since I went through LL 1.0, and frankly I’ve forgotten a lot of the structure (and my rankings have suffered)

So I’m in — are you?

Grab Link Liberation Now

Now the course isn’t for everyone. A lot of people are baulking at the price point which is $297 a month, without discounts. But here are 2 things to consider with the price.

Are you making money every month? Then $297 for Link Liberation is a drop in the bucket.

Are you not making $297 a month? Then you need help or you will not survive.

So how can I help you?

Well if you buy through my Link Liberation affiliate link below, I’ll be your personal contact for help. Since I’m going through the course at the same time as you, I’ll be there to help you personally via email with anything that may be confusing, or if you need some more specific direction. Kind of like a study buddy!

So let’s learn together:

Some of you know this, but some of you don’t so I’ll tell the story again. I’ve been working on offline marketing (aka marketing to small businesses) for a little while now, under my site: Target Local.

Marketing to Small business is both easy and hard all at the same time – takes this from somebody who knows. Ranking is rather easy, quite frankly. Generally for local searches you are competing against 5-10 backlinks, where any effort at all can get you to the top 3.

As an example, it took me about 3 days to get #1 for the term “guelph house painter”, do a search and you’ll see www.guelphlocal.ca/guelph-housepainter/ is #1 below the maps for this word.

So that’s all well in good you say, what’s the hard part then? The hard part I’ve found is actually getting in touch with the small businesses. In a lot of cases the people that you need to talk to are protected, either by wives or Secretaries, or have to “talk to their partners”

Let me tell you this can be very frustrating. What else is frustrating is that you are dealing with people that know pretty much nothing about the Internet. This is good and bad. The good part is that you know more then them, and you know they need you. But the bad part is they don’t know they need you.

So how can you overcome these pitfalls? Ask for help. Howie Schwartz is launching his IM Leadership program today, and it’s focused on helping you sell services to small businesses.

If you read my email the other day or watched the webinar, you know that Howie has been at this for a long time. He’s one of the few “gurus” that I pay attention to.

The course isn’t for everyone. It’s a nice chunk of change, but you also are gaining an adviser by you side that will help you succeed – something I wish I had quite frankly.

If you aren’t interested in marketing your services to others, then obviously this isn’t for you either. But keep in mind I was once this way too .. I didn’t want to “deal” with other people. But the bottomline is sometimes you have to go where the money is, and this area is ripe for some fast cash.

So give the salespage a look, and really look at the testimonials, I can attest that they are genuine – and impressive.

IM Leadership

If you come to my blog lately you’ll notice that I’ve held off on promoting some of the affiliate offers out there lately.. and frankly I’m seeing a bit of a disturbing trend. People are lying in their salesletters. Now even the person that has been around the scene for atleast a little bit are used to “hype” and unfortunately most times the sizzle is more than the steak. Or in some of the more well meaning situation, the creators at least had high hopes but failed on execution (here’s looking at you CB Predator)

But what I’m seeing lately is newbie launches where people are simply repackaging the same idea, totally inflating the salesletter and selling old ideas. Now when I say old ideas, I don’t mean from 2 years ago – these may actually be helpful. I mean old as in something I just read in another package 2 weeks ago.

Let’s put it to the test… Have you seen a PPV (or “Media Buy”) product lately? How about a CPA system? How about a “Loophole” product? Yeah I thought so.. they are over the place. And guess what? Most of them are all the same.

But what got me today was something else… I got an email from a “guru” about a traffic system that I’d never heard of before that was very controversial, and that he’d give me money if I had.. Wow that sounded interesting. Well guess what? It wasn’t all that interesting. In fact chances are if you’ve ever bought an aged domain, and built a blog and maybe got people to pay you to put links or your site or for a post — then yeah maybe you’ve heard of it before.

I honestly couldn’t believe it… and the scary part is that this came from a pretty well known marketer – somebody that I’ve bought items from before, but I couldn’t believe the hype of this “never heard of before” angle.. it was nothing more than a lie.. yeah that’s harsh but I really don’t care it’s the truth.

Now I’m leaving out the product and the name of the person, because this really isn’t a specific knock on this person or product, but rather a general trend in the industry lately. I honestly think it has to do with the fact that alot of these new marketers are doing 1 of 2 things.

1) They are buying PLR Internet Marketing products, with re-sale rights. So say 4000 people buy the same product as you, and maybe 2% act on it  — that’s a lot of the same product out there, all in different packages.

2) They are using ghost writers or “freelancers”. This one is more open to copycats, because guess where ghost writers and freelancers get their info? Yeah you got it — From the Internet for free, the same place you can.

So my point in all this is this — be very careful what you buy and make sure you get a refund if it doesn’t live up to you thought it would be. If it *does* live up to the hype, then remember the person that did it and follow them closely, because there are really good product/software creators out there (Jon Leger for example). But for the love of Pete, make sure you can afford whatever it is that you “think” you need…

Let me know what you think ….

When I got the email from Tim and Steve I was very intrigued — more so than many other IM’s in the industry. The reason? I have a keyword discovery product of my own that I’ve been working on (some may say sitting on) for awhile now. So I was wondering how my product would stand up to this new product. Turns out that my product needs a little work..

IM Eye launches April 8th at Noon…. ( and price goes up on April 15th)

Grab IM Eye right here and get my bonus shown here

I’ve actually bought Tim and Steve’s stuff before (yeah not free — I actually paid for it). Commission Blueprint was a great video product if you were into PPC. (it’s still available here if you are interested)

The latest thing I bought from them was Niche Blueprint 2.0, which was a very good system for building ecommerce sites. Inside of NB 2.0 there were a couple of quiet – but solid programs. Keyword Blueprint, gave you a quick look at exploring keywords and how hard it would be to rank for them. It was quick and pretty — and rather good. Also included was a program called Discover Niches.. it had a “random” feature that made allowing finding new markets a snap.

So why does this matter? Well IM Eye looks to be a combination of both programs, and that is a very good thing.

Here is a breakdown of IM Eye and what makes it different & great:

1. The program is clean and easy to navigate around – Don’t under estimate this, nothing is worse than a clunky program that you can’t figure out how to use – or want to go back using. And yeah I’m looking at you Market Samurai.

2. You don’t need seed keywords. This for me is the very best part. I don’t know about you, but I can never seem to know where to start. Every category seems to large and I usually just end up giving up before I ever get started.

3. You no longer need to wait around while the tool sits and churns through its analysis. This is part of the clean and easy from above.. they already have all the data, you don’t need to search Google/Yahoo for it.

4. You can just ASK IMeye what YOU want… and it will instantly deliver.

5. It applies across multiple income streams. Whether you have an Adsense site, an ecomm site, or a web 2.0 push page — no matter what you can isolate it in IMEYE… just awesome stuff.

So what is IM Eye missing & and how can I help ?

As many of you know I have a number of e-commerce properties as well as info products and many other content websites. Ecomm has a special place in my heart, mostly because it’s where I started. I started out coding html and then graduated to php when the company I worked for desperately needed a shopping cart app.

I know there are also a number of you that sell on the Amazon Marketplace. Well I have a warning for you. Watch Your Back.

Yesterday I was blocked and removed from the Amazon Marketplace for:

you may have listed products which are in violation of our policies against
intellectual property infringement. As stated in our policies, the sale
of unauthorized replicas, pirated, counterfeit, and knock-off
merchandise is not permitted on our site.

So I awoke on Monday morning to no orders in my Amazon inbox which is weird, then I found this email. And that was it. No real reason or examples, or most importantly no proof. I don’t sell anything that I’m not allowed to on Amazon and there are many other current merchants listing the very same products on their site right now – including the company that was drop shipping our orders. Also our feedback rating – the life blood of the amazon system – was 4.5 stars / 5 stars with no negatives in the last 3 months.

What’s dishearting is that as a merchant you have no recourse whatsoever. Sure maybe I could sue — but what would be the point of that, to lose more money? No Thanks.

Honestly I don’t have a problem with Amazon removing my account, what bothers me is that they are unwilling to actually provide me with the reason my account was terminated. No copy of the complaint, No example product, No phone call – nothing but the email. This folks is just bad business.

My only solace is that we haven’t been on Amazon for that long (only about 6 months) and we weren’t doing enormous numbers, and Amazon takes a very large percentage, which cuts into profits. But if you are selling – or are thinking of selling on Amazon head my advice and be wary and don’t count it lasting forever because they may just decide one day that they don’t want you.

Oh, and if you want to buy some perfume and fragrances that are 100% legitimate, I know a great store!
