Most of the Important marketers are on there and all you need to do is follow them via the site to see what developments are happening in their business.
Now I recommend you follow the people YOU personally have business or coaching interests in,or you could waste a lot of precious time following everyone!

Now another advent to Twitter is the wordpress plug-in developed to have your latest blog posts immediately posted to your Twitter account, this will save much double posting, ultimately saving you valueable time and effort.
There is now even a side bar widget that will include your twitter posts to your blog page, all of this is available FREE to use at
http://massinghamfamily.com/suggests/tweetmyblog

If you are into blogging, these free tools will can make life so much easier.

Well until next time,

Shane

My subject line relates to how much time you can easily consume “playing” the internet
marketing game.

With watching all the great stuff that Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, Rich Shefren and of course
Mike Filsaime have been sending us little guys lately, there has been very little time left for us to get our own things done, but this is how we learn….

I launched my first membership site in january and although numbers are still small, I have a great bunch of people that have joined up.

It really does take alot of work to do a launch, then keep everything sailing along smoothly.

So don’t let anyone tell you IM is easy and you don’t need to do much to earn huge chunks of cash.

It is rewarding and gets easier as time goes by, but you do need to focus and set and achieve goals as you go.

Now a new program will launch on April 1st ( yes they know what day this is, but this is no joke), I am not sure of many details yet, but will post here when I do. The program is called MY Internet Business, and as the name implies, it will be for anyone in this field to get going successfully.

If you have been here before, you will know I am a member of Stepen Pierce’s
Smart Marketing Coaching Club.

Stephen has opened the doors for a short period of time to monthly members,where you won’t pay a lumpsum like I did. I will have a sneek-peek video of inside the member site very soon, so look for that here also in coming days.

Well that’s all for now,

Shane.

Last minute I looked it was october and now we are days away from 2008.

If you are like me you are trying to juggle a JOB, family, affiliate products and the rest of the
time you are attempting to produce your own products……WOW and sleep?? what was that?

I have been very busy these past months designing and setting up my first monthly member
site and I hope to launch on January 2nd 2008
The niche I have 30 years experience as a proffessional in, is Western Horse Riding, which to most of you will be very foreign.

If you are horse inclined though have a look from January 2 at http://rideontheweb.com

My other inspiring news, is that the recording and transcripts from the interview that
Mike Filsaime and Russell Brunson did, are now available..

The call itself is huge, with these two guys openly discussing the methods that they have
used in the last three (3) years to build their online empires.
It runs for 3hours and 15 minutes with the last 1hour and 15 being subscribers who where
live on the call asking questions to the guys and being answered honestly.

There really are some great and easy ideas to implement in the call, but if you would prefer
to read the 88 page transcript, that is included also for a limited time.
I have added some other great bonuses also, so be sure to check it out at :

http://www.ultimatemarketingfusionsecrets.com

As a goal for all of us to aspire to, I have also included this picture of the H2 Hummer
that Mike won, as the winner of Russell`s affiliate contest for his 12 month millionaire launch.

It goes to show what a little hard work can achieve and we All can be at that level some day!

All the best for 2008.

Shane

On tuesday Todd Gross and Derrick van Dyke launched a great new
site that will supply you with a pre-made video for clickbank or
even your very own products.
You’ll have instant access to professional videos that *pre-sell*
the most popular affiliate products on the Internet.

You don’t have to know ANYTHING about video to take
advantage of this UNIQUE system and you don’t even
need a website to rock your affiliate commissions
into the stratosphere!

This is a “digital rush”…

At the moment they are offering a Free 7 day trial so you can
use the system, and see how great these videos work.

Take a look here at Presalevideos.com

The other great thing to happen this week, was the call yesterday afternoon between
Russell Brunsen and Mike Filsaime.
This call went over 3hours with russell and Mike grilling each other about their
respective businesses. Then those lucky enough to get on the 1st call line (first 250),
got to ask questions of Mike and russell.

Now the recording of this 3 hour interview is only available to those of us lucky
enough to buy Russell Brunsen`s 12 month millionaire product, thru
Mike Filsaime.

This will be available very soon for people to purchase, so stay tuned.
I only got to listen in for a short period, and cannot wait to hear the
complete audio.

To finish the week for me, my wife and I will be celebrating our 1st
wedding anniversary on sunday, and as I am away working until friday
I am looking forward to getting home.

Well until next time.

Shane.

In my life, I spend a lot of time online. I’m in the business of helping e-business owners build up their e-business. That requires me to keep myself knee-deep in the e-business world.

But the other day, over breakfast, I was reading the paper and was flipping through the classifieds because a friend was going to have a garage sale and I wanted to see her advertisement. I meant to glance through the “Business Opportunities” section of the classifieds fairly quickly, (because I’m not looking for business opportunities). But as I scanned the page, I noticed a small advertisement promoting a website.

It got me thinking about advertising your online business offline.

Lots of companies do it right now, but it seems to be mostly the big companies that do. However, there’s no reason why smaller companies can’t, either. Sure, you probably don’t have the budget or inclination to advertise on television, like Travelocity.com, for example, but it doesn’t mean that you have to close off the outside world and only advertise in the land of html.

* Have you thought about advertising your online business in the offline world? If you have a well-defined niche, you might consider placing an ad in a trade journal marketing to that niche.

* Or consider putting a bumper sticker on the back of your car (and all of your friend’s cars). This works especially well if you have a website that markets to a local market.

* I was intrigued by the classified ad enough to go online and type in their website. Would it work for your website?

* Find a valuable, inexpensive product you can direct-mail and send it out. For example, your URL on a beautiful calendar will hold a rapt audience for 12 months.

* Offer seminars and workshops in your local area for your target market and mention your website’s URL during class.

Offline advertising – at first glance – seems to work well for advertising in local markets only. That’s slightly true, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. After all, if you’re advertising online, you’re spending a few cents per impression and getting impressions all over the world. On the other hand, you can spend the same amount of money to get several impressions in a small area. It’s like going from an mile wide and an inch deep to an inch wide and a mile deep. And (depending on your advertising methods and frequency) you just might get the people of that community buzzing about your business enough that you can leverage into other marketing, too.

Here’s an example: if you sell tours to the Mediterranean, create an interesting and unusual URL and advertise it prominently and mysteriously all over a small town. People will click your URL because they want to know why they’ve been seeing it all around town. As you develop an audience from that, create press releases and newspaper articles about the Mediterranean that you can put in the small-town paper. Then, send out press releases online asking, “Why is Smalltown buzzing about the Mediterranean?”

This is just one example of using offline advertising to market your online business. Can you think of more?

Diane has touched on a subject that I have been using for awhile now,
and that is why I included this article.
You don`t have to be big to advertise offline, just be effective and success will come to you!

2. Highlight buying incentives like free bonuses and m.oney back g.uarantees. You could place them in boxes or in front of a different colored background.

3. Use short sentences or sentence fragments in the body of your ad copy. A short burst of words can catch a skimmers eye with one quick glance.

4. Highlight all the important keywords and phrases in your ad copy. You could use bolding, underlining and color to highlight the important words.

5. Place attention grabbing pictures above and within your ad copy. A powerful technique is to use before and after pictures of people using your product.

6. Use a headline that catches the attention of your target audience. One of the most effective ways is to use a free offer as your headline.

7. Make your ad’s keywords and phrases standout by enlarging the text. This technique works wonders with headlines and sub headlines.

8. Make your products list of benefits and features stand out by using a symbol in front of each of them. The symbol could be a dash, solid circle, star, etc.

9. Use sub headlines to break up your ad copy and to capture a skimmers eye. You could make them even more powerful by highlighting them with color.

10. Use attention grabbing adjectives to describe your product. For example sizzling, incredible, high power, ultramodern, killer, eye popping, etc.

If you are not using any of these suggestions, you may now know why things aren`t going
so well.

Once e-technology was introduced to marketing, many businesses moved to online marketing, utilizing email, e-newsletters and pop-up advertising on the Internet. This “interruption-based marketing”, has resulted in a marketing numbness of the consumer. The backlash of the constantly bombarded Internet browser has been more technology to block pop-ups, filter spam and calls from lawmakers for stricter regulations. These steps made against online marketing have resulted in the blocking of up to 37% of legitimate e-mails to ISP’s.

To take it one step further, an over exposure could result in consumers ‘tuning out’ or anger towards a company, especially on the Internet. The American Marketing Association estimates that legitimate e-mail blocked as spam will cost companies as much as $419 million in 2008. These sales will not be lost due the revenue spent in sending out blanket emails but because of the consumer backlash. Consumers have grown frustrated and tired of being constantly overwhelmed with meaningless advertisements that are not beneficial to them. Consider this scenario.

Let’s say you were in the midst of an important project that required your undivided attention. As you worked on this all-important project, your phone rang every five minutes. As you look at the caller ID (as we all do), you see it is a vendor that is attempting to sell you something. Since you did not answer the first ten times, the vendor continues to call, interrupting your thought process. Tell me, what comes to your mind?

Personally, I can think of many profane words. Unfortunately for the vendor, they are all profane. Not only would I refrain from buying from this vendor but I would also tell everyone I knew about the vendor’s escapades. For this reason, be weary of the companies that sell you the opportunity for so-called ‘legal’ email marketing. Not only do you risk not earning back the money spent, you risk running away potential customers.

Statistics show that effective marketing is not based upon saturation of consumers, but by how many of the right consumers are exposed to the advertisement. The business community is coming to understand that consumers only want choices on items in which they are in the market to buy. This means that in order for you to be effective, you must push towards responsible methods of advertising. How do you do that?

Realize that a wonderful website and personalized emails are not all necessary for successful e-business. Unfortunately, people view the Internet as an ‘easy’ medium for advertisement. Because there is such easy access to the Internet medium, your presence makes you no more special than the next guy. You must use your website as a point of reference. Learn to use effective titles, headings and SEO words on your site. This will rank them higher in the search engines. Then, once a customer comes, give them your best business and treat them right. If you do this, you will earn the positive ‘word-of-mouth’ rather than the profane.

No matter how easy Internet marketing might seem, you can not get around the basic foundations of marketing: Knowing your business and Knowing your customer. You would much rather potential customers receive an email from one of your customers testifying to your performance, than for them to receive one from you.
