Hey, there

Sorry I haven’t been sending anything much out lately.  Life has been really crazy for me, as it is for many folks today.  I hope things are going well for you!

Rumors are that holiday shopping will be down this year, in part because I think people are just burned out on all of the “noise”.  It’s also partly because people have downsized their driving habits because of gas prices.  Oh, and there’s this “economy thing” going on.

The Good News in all this is: sales of stuff online is expected to hit record levels this holiday season.  Bad news for retailers, but good news for you and I!

If you don’t have a site set up to capture sales, put one up today.  Stick on some links to Amazon products you like, maybe some links to eBay auctions, and get some traffic.

There are tons of ways to get traffic. One is to put up reviews of things.

Here’s a really great, and inexpensive, Wordpress theme designed specifically to let you set up review sites:

It uses Ajax widgets to create a very “Web 2.0″ish experience for your visitors.  Just find things on Amazon
that you’re familiar with, put up an affiliate link and a nice little review, and see what happens.

You’ll need some traffic, and this handy little set of videos offers some great ways to leverage “Web 2.0″ tactics to generate lots of traffic:

I’m going to be promoting more stuff like this over the coming weeks, for two reasons.  One is that I’m feeling the economic crunch just like everybody else, and I hope that you find some of these products to be useful in YOUR online efforts.

The second is that most of the programs I’ll be promoting not only pay IUNSTANTLY, but they have affiliate programs where YOU can sign up and get paid instantly for YOUR promotional efforts as well.

My cashflow has slowed to a trickle, and I can’t afford to wait until January for affiliate commission payments!

So I figure the best way to make some money is to help YOU make some money — RIGHT NOW.

Got any comments or anything in particular you’d like to see?  I’d love to hear about them!

Things have been quiet for me lately, but they’re about
to take off.  I wanted to share this with you.  It’s
kinda long, but I hope you’ll stick with me.  It might not
interest you immediately, but it’s something to think
about.

There are a couple of things to buy here, but they’re
awfully affordable.  More than that, this is the first
in what I expect to be several messages along a new
theme that could be VERY PROFITABLE for all of us. 
So stay tuned.

BTW, you can also now follow me on Twitter:

Now that all the noise has settled down about John Reese’s
new Traffic Secrets launch, I have a little tip about one
“traffic secret” that I seriously doubt JR will be telling
you about.  This one is from my friend and reluctant mentor,
WillieCrawford:

Hello

I just wanted to take a couple of minutes to wish all of my
clients and customers a really Happy Easter!

I’ve been hanging out today at the “Mile High Grill” in
Jerome, Arizona. It has a wonderful east-facing view over
the Verde Valley. At the other side of the valley are the
Red Rocks of Sedona, about 15 miles away. It looks an awful
lot like the view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Only in this case you get to see the setting sun making the
Sedona area take on a wonderful shimmering red glow as it
goes down behind us here. It’s truly humbling and inspiring!

Hello and Happy February!

You probably aren’t hearing about this from every corner of
the internet, but perhaps you should be.

Rapid Action Profits V2.0 has just been released. And the
price has gone from $67 to $127. But I have a special
discount coupon for you to use before Thursday night to
get it for $67.

In case you don’t know, RAP is a php script initially based
around the venerable $7 Secrets Script. However, the author,
Sid Hale, has made a BUNCH of additions to it that make it
a far superior script, and much more SECURE.

The main BENEFIT of RAP is that your AFFILIATES GET PAID
IMMEDIATELY. This has THREE direct consequences for you:

Hello

I have an important question for you today that may be impacting your
revenues.

Have you ever had someone steal an entire web site and bypass your sales
page?

Ever found a complete sales page posted on eBay where someone is using
it to make unauthorized sales?

You think, “This is WRONG!” but you don’t have a clue how to stop it.

Well, now there is! It’s called Hotlink Alarm, and it keeps people from
picking your pockets, and stealing your assets, bandwidth, and sales.

Hello, and Happy New Year (again)!

My goal this year is to hit $10k per month in revenues from
all sources. I plan to write more little tools and eBooks,
promoting them and others, as well as sharing other things
that I’ve found useful and valuable with all of my
customers and friends.

In fact, I’ve had people writing me saying, “Man, you’re
THE TOOL WIZ! Why aren’t you writing more tools and
telling us about other stuff that’s out there?” Well,
partly because since I got into the Internet Marketing
world, I’ve been bouncing back and forth between contract
programming gigs and IM. It has been difficult to maintain
focus.

Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I don’t know about you, but I’m sure happy to put 2007
behind me. It has been an absolutely crazy year for me.
Things are definitely on the up-swing for me, and it’s
a terrific feeling!

A couple of folks who have also been dealing with quite
a bit of adversity this past year are Scott and Sharlene
Raven. I won’t go into their story here, but suffice it
to say they’ve been through it all a couple of times this
past year and there’s more to come. I will say, tho, that
Scott recently had hip replacement surgery and they have
no insurance.

They’re running their 2nd Annual New Year’s Fire Sale, which
was just launched earlier today. This has got to be the
largest collection of PLR and MRR stuff I’ve ever seen in
one offering! The price is stunning, and there’s a great
OTO as well. Here’s the link to see what I’m talking about:

http://www.thetoolwiz.com/HotPicks/2008NewYrFireSale

This sale is part of their effort to help cover Scott’s
medical costs. The price per item in this sale is truly
ridiculously low (under $1/item at the initial price).
With just a little work, you’ll be able to recoup your
investment very quickly. So please support them in
their efforts if you possibly can.

As a special incentive bonus, I’d like to offer a free copy
of my new Turbo Review Writer if you purchase this HUMONGOUS
package of stuff to help support the Raven’s.

The Turbo Review Writer is still available as a WSO for a
little while longer at $47. I’m busy finishing up the
sales page. Man, I can whip out code really quickly, but
setting up sales pages and web sites seems to take forever.

Here is the current WSO:

http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=207811

I’ve also been working on getting a membership site set up
to help manage this product. That’s coming along as well.
In the mean time, the program is solid. I’m not getting
much feedback from users, which usually means they’re happy.
If you’ve got a copy and have had a chance to work with it,
do let me know your thoughts.

In the mean time, please do yourself a favor and pick up
a copy of the Raven’s 2007 New Year’s Fire Sale package.
Again, here’s the link for you:

Here’s wishing you a most wonderful and bountiful 2008!

Hello, and Happy Holidays!

I wanted to take a moment to wish you and yours a very
wonderful Holiday.

Also, just to let you know that I’ve finally finished up my
latest offering, TurboReviewWriter. It’s available as a WSO
right now; you can read more about it here:

Those of you who purchased a copy of NVSB from me, let me
know and I’ll get you your free copy of this. Or you can
still purchase NVSB and get it free as well.

Just send me a copy of your PayPal invoice so I can resolve
it against my sales records.

Thank you for your support and I hope we all have a
wonderful and properous New Year ahead of us!
