I have had this site up for almost a year now.  I have been really busy with other matters and haven’t paid proper attention to it.  When I did finally check on it, guess what?  Everything was GONE!  Yep, all that was there was the default “Hello World” post that gets created when WordPress installs.  Now if you are like I am (well, USED TO BE), if you check your admin site and find there is an upgrade available for WordPress, you just click the Please Update Now link and let the upgrade install without backing up your database.  That is what I have always done with no problems.  I’m not sure if my data “disappeared” with the upgrade or if something else happened, but regardless of the cause, all posts to this site are now in the “bit bucket”.  Don’t let this happen to you!  It is just too easy to find and install a plug-in to automate your backup if you don’t want to do it yourself from  cPanel.  I just installed a plug-in to automate the backup process.  It has not generated a backup yet, but I DID go to cPanel and made a manual backup.  To make a manual backup, go to cPanel, click on phpMyAdmin.  From there, click the Export tab.  You should be fine with the default values but if you want a compressed file, click either the “zipped” or “gzipped” radio button.  At the bottom right of the screen is a “Go” button.  Click it and the export will begin.  When prompted, choose the save file and the file will be saved on your local machine.  It took all of about 5 minutes for me the first time I used it so it is really simple.  Of course, if you have lots of posts, the actual process of creating the backup file may take a little longer.  Don’t put this off, go do it RIGHT NOW!  You will thank me later!

You can do a search for backup plugins from the Add New option under plugins, but if you want to use the one I just installed you can find it here:  http://ezpzsolutions.net/

Have fun, but remember backup, backup, backup!

Everywhere you look you see marketing gurus promoting
each others products to their readers and getting a
share of the profits. Often times a marketer with a
good sized list can make a five or even six figure
payday just by promoting someone else’s offer.

Have you ever dreamed of having a well known guru
promote one of your products? Can you imagine yourself
rubbing shoulders with the Internet marketing elite,
and earning the kind of paydays that most
entrepreneurs only dream about? Joint ventures are the
key to making that dream come true.

*************************************************
THERE’S JUST ONE PROBLEM
*************************************************

Learning how to create successful joint ventures has
always been hit and miss. You had to learn by trial
and error, and it often took way too long to build up
the kind of reputation that would have reputable
marketers seeking you out to do business together.

Until now!

My colleague Michael Rasmussen has just released a
brand new video course called Joint Ventures Exposed,
and I believe this is just what you’ve been looking for.

This course will walk you through the process of
creating your very first joint venture from the ground
up. He’ll also teach you how to build up a solid
reputation FAST, so you can become a highly sought
after JV partner.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being involved with those
huge JV promotions with the big marketing gurus, or if
you just want to start building profitable
relationships with other marketers, then you are
going to love Michael’s new course.

And the best part? The course is totally free!

If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It’s important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. It sounds like he recorded these in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Joint Ventures Exposed for yourself, you’ll agree
that he has succeeded.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously it’s
impossible to list every single point here, but I want
you to get a feel for what each one covers, and how
well it covers it.

VIDEO 1 – INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You’ll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it’s structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn’t come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he’s talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he’s willing to relax, and trust that what you’re
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 – THE BASICS OF JOINT VENTURES

In this video, Michael will give you a street smart
education on what a joint venture actually is, and
also… what it is not. There are a lot of
misconceptions about joint ventures, and Michael does
a good job of giving you the education you need while
cutting out all the fluff.

Even if you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll want to watch
this video in order to get the foundational
distinctions that Michael covers throughout the whole
course.

VIDEO 3 – THE VARIOUS TYPES OF JOINT VENTURES

This will be a real eye opener for those who only
understand the basics of joint ventures. Michael will
reveal the four types of joint ventures he uses in his
own business that makes him maximum money in
minimum time.

I have a hunch that you’ll be surprised at just how
many different types of joint ventures there are, and
after watching this video, your mind will be on fire
with all kinds of ideas for doing your next joint venture.

VIDEO 4 – HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT JOINT VENTURE

This is one of most crucial videos in the entire
course. Most marketers get it all wrong when they put
together a joint venture. They forget to do SO many
things, and it ends up turning off potential partners.
In this comprehensive video, Michael will make sure
that you’re fully prepared to attract the top promoters.

You’ll learn:

* The six components you need in your ‘JV offer’
before you even think about contacting potential
partners.

* The most important requirement of any JV.

* How to make your offer more compelling to potential
partners.

* A ‘sneaky’ but completely honest way to create
fantastic JV deals. The best part? You can do it for free!

VIDEO 5 – HOW TO APPROACH POTENTIAL PARTNERS

The greatest joint venture in the world is nothing
without people to promote it. In this video, Michael
sheds some light on one of the scariest parts of
creating a successful joint venture: How to approach
partners and get them involved.

You’ll learn:

* How to identify likely JV partners, so you can know
how to approach them more effectively.

* Where to find good JV partners to approach (most
people don’t even know where to look).

* What potential partners are looking for… so you
can give it to them and boost your odds of attracting
the best partners out there.

* The biggest mistakes people make when approaching
potential partners, and how to avoid them.

* How to negotiate the deal with your partner.

* How to protect yourself in the business
relationship.

VIDEO 6 – THE JOINT VENTURE INVITATION PAGE

This is one of the most valuable videos in the entire
course, because it covers something that most
marketing teachers don’t talk about. Sure, everyone
says that it’s great to do joint ventures, but nobody
ever talks about the first impression that you give
prospective partners on your joint venture invitation
page. This video will make sure that your invitation
page is a winner.

You’ll learn:

* The most important date you need to know before you
tell potential JV partners about your page.

* How to talk about your joint venture in a way that
appeals to your potential partners (once you learn how
to speak their language, you’ll instantly set yourself
apart from 99% of the other marketers who are pitching
them on doing business together).

* Which links you need to include on the page,
including the most important link of all.

* The three types of sample emails you should provide
(most people get this completely wrong).

* How to build a list of your JV partners
automatically (this is super important for creating
future joint ventures with ease).

VIDEO 7 – WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR JOINT VENTURE KICKS OFF

Now that you’ve done all the prep work, you need to
know what to do after you launch your joint venture.
Believe me, the work doesn’t stop once everyone mails
out to their list. There are some specific things you
can do to keep everyone promoting so that everyone
makes more money.

You’ll learn:

* The seven things you need to do after your launch to
make your JV end with a big bang (and a lot of profit).

* A simple tactic that can boost your sales by 30% or more.

* A powerful ‘leveraging’ technique that will get your
existing partners to help find you more JV partners.

* The #1 thing you must ask all your JV partners for
after your launch ends. Skip this, and you’ll have to
start from scratch all over again on your next joint
venture.

VIDEO 8 – SIX JOINT VENTURE MISTAKES YOU MUST AVOID

Everyone makes mistakes in joint ventures. The smart
marketers are the ones who learn from the mistakes of
others, so that they don’t have to make those same
mistakes themselves. In this video, Michael will show
you what those mistakes are, and how to avoid them so
you can make maximum profit with your next joint
venture.

You’ll learn:

* The simplest JV mistake made by the vast majority of
online marketers out there, especially the ones
struggling to get started.

* What you can learn about joint ventures from one of
the most popular ‘kids organizations’ in the world.

* The biggest mistake most people make when it comes
to joint ventures, and how to avoid it.

* How to use an old, forgotten marketing principal to
skyrocket your joint venture success.

The deluxe course contains three full-length videos

Here’s a breakdown of each advanced video:

VIDEO 9 – HOW TO PROFIT FROM JV’S WITHOUT HAVING EVEN HAVING YOUR OWN PRODUCTS

In this video, you’ll learn about an advanced concept
called ‘joint venture brokering’. Some of the richest
marketers I know do nothing else but set other people
up together for joint ventures and then collect a fat
commission. The profit potential for this virtually
unknown business is enormous!

You’ll learn:

* How to get other marketers to consider you the ‘eBay
of joint venture marketing’. HINT: The few people who
are doing this are quietly making a killing online!

* The step-by-step process of becoming a joint
venture broker, even if you’re completely unknown
in the online marketing world.

both product developers and list owners to get them

VIDEO 10 – HOW TO CREATE A JOINT VENTURE MASTERMIND GROUP

This one video alone could make you more money than
anything else you study this year. Most marketers have
no idea what goes on behind the closed doors of the
world’s top Internet marketers. Deals are being struck
all the time, and partnerships are being formed that
create hundreds of thousands of dollars in new profit.

Michael says that if there’s one secret to his success
with joint ventures, it’s his JV mastermind. In this
video, he’ll walk you through the exact steps to
create one of your own.

You’ll learn:

* How an old book from the 1930′s holds the secret to
your success in joint ventures, and how you can use
this book’s biggest secret to skyrocket your success.

* What a joint venture mastermind is, and why you need
to form one immediately!

* How to attract successful marketers to your
mastermind group, and get them to participate.

* How to leverage your mastermind partners to create
new products and deals that will attract the BIG BOY
marketers, and make them want to promote your offer.

VIDEO 11 – HOW TO CREATE JOINT VENTURE CONTESTS

Nothing motivates JV partners to promote like a good
contest. The smartest marketers always have some kind
of contest to help give their partners incentive to
keep promoting. After watching this video, you’ll be
ready to hold your own contest, and you can enjoy
watching JV partners try to out-promote each other…
while you keep making more money every time they do!

You’ll learn:

* What a JV contest is… and no, the answer isn’t
quite as obvious as you might think.

* How to structure your contest, including what prizes
to offer and why.

* How to spread the word about your contest so you can
attract the highest quality JV partners around.

* Where and when to tell prospective JV partners about
your contest (the answer will surprise you).

Warmly,
Steve Steiner

If you are like me, you spend a lot of time building your list and are always looking for new techniques to help.

The other day, I came across the Ebook “One Month to 1,000 List Members”.  I don’t know about you, but if there is a way to  increase my list by 1000 members in one month, I will certainly do it!  In fact, I am always looking to grow my list and am always reading techniques to help me in that endeavor.  I was so impressed  by the book that I acquired the Master Resale Rights to it.

I am GIVING this book away along with limited Resale Rights.  Basically the only thing you CAN’T do is change the book or sell resale rights to it.  You can sell it and keep all the money, you can give it away, use it as a bonus, or add it to a bundle.  The retail value of the book is $37.00 but if you decide to sell it, the price you charge is completely up to you.  To get your FREE copy of this book, click here.

I am still going through the recorded lessons from the Starting With Marketing Academy which is a 6 week course and was recommended as a starting point.  So far even though I have been distracted by other “magic bullets” even though I KNOW that I need to just focus on ONE program/training course at a time.  I thought I had learned that, but some of the emails I get are just impossible not to check out!  That results in a waste of time reading the emails, and more wasted time if I check out what they are pitching.  I HAVE recently picked up some good free reports but fell for a few of the One Time Offers that just seemed too good to pass up.  That is just crazy, since all I do is store them and then go back to the Starting With Marketing Academy.  At least I am trying to stay focused!

I recommend you check out the Turbo Traffic System there is a VERY good free report that reveals some traffic secrets.  You can also listen to an Interview with Lee McIntyre free here.

Dean’s first stated goal was to make $1.00 online.  I have a slightly higher goal in mind, my immediate goal is to make my FIRST sale online.

I have discovered that the process of becoming a successful Internet Marketer is a journey, filled with days of LONG hours regardless of some of the hype the “magic bullet” programs say.  While it may be possible to only work 2 – 4 hours a day once you have several successful campaigns up and running on autopilot, it will take a LOT of work to get there.  As my business grows, then I can look at acquiring some tools to help automate some of the processes, but there will always be the research for new products and niches.  I am not looking for the “easy riches”, I just want to be able to earn a decent income while expending the effort required.

I welcome all feedback to this post, both positive and negative.

Steve

I just had what some would call an “aha” moment.  How many times have you bought a program or course, skipped right to where you thought the important part was and jumped right in only to be disappointed with the outcome?  Am I the only idiot who has done this?  This week I bought another course, yeah yet another one after I said I wouldn’t be buying anymore.

This time I told myself it would be different.  I was going to start at the very beginning and not shortcut a single thing.  I learned some things today from that course, probably the biggest thing was the need for action.

The coach used an analogy of  learning to ride a bicycle.  You could read about learning to ride but you would NEVER get to it if you didn’t just put down the book.

I was surfing last week and I came across the term MRR.  Now I have been struggling with Internet Marketing for a while but I am not a “newbie”. While I thought I knew what MRR meant, I wanted to be sure so I looked for the definition and came across a dictionary of Internet Marketing terms.

I liked it so much I bought the Master Resale Rights (MRR) to it.  Since this blog is all about providing tips for Internet Marketers, I decided to give it to anyone who reads this post with NO strings attached!  FREE! No Opt In, no up sell, nothing, nada, zip!  Of course I would love to have you on my list so that you don’t miss out on more “goodies” from me.

You can sign up for my list with the form on this page, but it’s not required to to get your copy of the Internet Marketing Dictionary.  Not only will you get the dictionary, but you get Master Resale Rights as well as reseller files.  Under the terms of this particular MRR license, you can sell it and keep all the profit, give it away, include it in another offer as a bonus, if you have a member site, you can use it there as content as well.  Heck, you can even sell it on auction sites!

This is one of the few no strings offers that I know of.  It flies in the face of all the “guru” advice I have seen; they all say “use a give away item to get them on your list then have an up-sell offer on your thank you page.

I may be an idiot for giving this away without getting your information for my list, but I would prefer to have people on my list who want to hear from me in the future, not just someone who joins just to get one “freebie”.  I am trying to get my name established as an honest reliable source of information who is not another hype marketer.

In the interest of being upfront with everyone, there ARE some affiliate links in the dictionary so if you click on them and buy something, I will get a commission.  For those of you who are brand new to Internet Marketing, that is known as Affiliate Marketing.  If you do decide to buy something from any affiliate link anywhere, it does NOT affect the price you pay at all.  The commission is paid by the owner of the product out of their profits.

Download your copy now! This will be a valuable tool for your personal use and is a product you can add to those you promote.  All I ask in return is that you tell your friends about this blog if you find it useful and post your comments on what you think of the dictionary and your results if you have decided to sell it.

Have fun!
