Today, is your call to action to get off of your ass and do something!
As an internet marketer, or a business owner, or anything in the world of making money online, you have to have an action plan and a drive, but most importantly, you have to execute.
“Today, is going to be an awesome day and I am going to make an awesome campaign” should be going through your head. With the tools that easily available on the web, from the numerous forums, to my wednesday column, to advice from publishers and affiliate network managers, you really have no reason why you cannot start a success on the internet.
But remember, the most important thing to do, is to do! EXECUTE!!! Do not be an architect who has building plans and doesn’t put them to use! Build that monster of a campaign, and let it all roll out! Make an interesting case for someone to buy that product over the competition.
Why haven’t you been a success in this already? Are you scared? Are you fearful of not making it, or fearful of being a success?
One time, I did a really interesting thing for a friend who wanted to get into internet marketing. Of course he was in another part of the country at the time, and I had to mail him a gift. This gift, was a 4 GB SanDisk Cruzer Mini USB flash drive.
I told my friend, that this thumb drive, has close to $100,000 in educational product inside, and to some, it is quite invaluable. Do you want to know the contents of this flash drive? I know you do!
The funny thing was, that inside the flash drive wasn’t Alex Goad’s hot new “Method of the Month” product, or Ewen Chia’s Blog your ass off to the bank, or any of those types of products.
It was matter in fact only one text file, with one paragraph, lol! A single paragraph, which was worth $100,000, or as much value as you wanted to put onto it.
The paragraph was, as read “Marc, you can only be as successful as your efforts to push yourself. I can give you all of the materials needed for internet marketing, but the real winners in internet marketing do not follow a book or a guru, but instead their drives and passion. Trial and error is the truest method of education and with the experiences that follow, that will make you the success that you want to be.”
He was shocked, but got the message quickly. The key understanding here is that no matter what book you buy, what seminar you take, the real money here, is with experience, and learning each and every time you have a failure or a stumbling block. I know I have greatly covered this last week.
Honestly, if you want to know what I did to get to where I am today, I might have gotten a book at first, and followed the cautious advice of publishers and such, but it was more about being a trailblazer and just thinking flat out of the box which pushed me to my methods of madness. And, Do not forget; GET OFF OF YOUR ASS AND EXECUTE YOUR CAMPAIGN!!!
Have an awesome week, and for my american fans, have an AWESOME Turkey day!!!
If you are following our sister blog at www.goforextrade.com, you know that I am gung ho about automated trading systems, and that we are sponsored by Forex Funnel and Forex Tracer. Well, within the next 48 hours, we are going to get a new sponsor.
This new sponsor is the Forex Detector! The Forex Detector is an automated trading system, which is the product of the same team that created the Forex Funnel and Forex Tracer. The difference that you see in the Forex Detector is one that is not only in comparison to the other two, but the countless systems that have popped up in recent memory.
Seems like just about every Tom, Dick, and Harry have built their own EA to try to capitalize on the automated trading craze that is catching forex currently. The problem with this is, is that someone is so willing to push a simple system, just to make a buck or two and line their pockets. Unfortunately the customer service is a freaking joke and they didn’t really care to begin with.
Another setback, is the programming strategy of alot of these Expert Advisors. None of these expert advisors programming came from anything comparable to the mq4 championship caliber systems, nor close to the Forex Detector’s standards. Alot of them use what they call a lagging indicator cross.
A lagging indicator is better known as a Moving Average. A Moving average comes in a few different forms, rather, the simple moving average, which is just an average estimate of previous price actions set in certain periods, or the Exponential moving average, which is a bit more complex, and adds another equation. Then you have what they call a Moving Average Convergent Divergent, which is a set of two EA’s and a histogram graph to chart differences of the two.
The technical signal generation comes, when a pair of Moving Averages or the MACD configured in the usual 12/26/9 method cross at a certain point. Now, this might be great if you are manually trading, but not the best method for an automated system. An automated system with a moving average trigger system is prone to breakout issues, not doing much on sideways activity and doesn’t pull the pips as well as the Forex Detector could quite possibly.
The Forex Detector uses a more advanced approach, using an algorithm that spawns many trades within a range zone, and capitalizes on every single movement of price action. This is a breath of fresh air, and I couldn’t agree any more with the programming team here, that they are seriously onto something.
GoForexTrade.com, Our site ILiveInSuccess.com, and the Forex Detector would like you to test out the software, with a 60 day guarantee, and on special for only $137.
Firstly, I would like to apologize for not posting this awesome series of articles for the last few weeks as my life has been consumed with a few “new” objectives and goals which were freshly obtained and looking to be executed shortly. We will hopefully see the fruits of the labor in the short term, as well in a longer range too!
Today’s topic is about not rushing to becoming a superaffiliate and actually taking your time to succeed.
All over the place, you see all sorts of ads from radio, craigslist, random google searches, late night informercials and myspace box ads showing you that you can make money online. They make it seem like it is a fun, crazy, jamboree of an experience with doing the tasks of making money online.
You probably know what I am talking about, in reference to massively marketed systems, but we will not mention the names to protect identities. If you have ever heard the word “There is a sucker born every minute,”.It is the absolute sad reality. The ideologies of most “gurus” that promise get rich quick results as soon as you do one task, in a short amount of time sounds tempting, and of course it always bites the customer in the ass almost every time. For the most part, for the average person, the failure rate is over 90%.
The reality here, is despite all of the bullshit and crap that you see online, television, print, radio, etc. is that there is a core of tried and true internet marketers that know that all is possible, but it doesn’t come overnight. A statement of success that is truly contrarian at best compared to the “gurus” ridiculous slapstick bullshit that they have been pushing.
If you want to be successful, first of all, you have to realize that nothing is easy, nor does it arrive overnight. I once saw a statement from an affiliate meetup group organizer in the NYC area, which read “First, we have to push as much failures as we can before we can start the success path.” At first, I was scratching my head with his thoughts on trial and error. But his message became absolute gospel to me after thinking a while over why we need to fail in order to succeed.
I also ran this thought with my brother Josh while doing chinese food the other day. Josh tells me and I have to agreed wholeheartedly, that failure is when you really your learn your lessons in life and you happen to configure yourself better, to become the better, more organized, well experienced person than before that failure.
It is kinda like Failure connotates a level of experience that helps decide a better track, on a road less traveled, or a thought that could somewhat solves what the problem originally was. This is the end of my failure explanation.
Next, realize with having so many failures, maybe instead of saying “fuck everything” and dropping the ball, keep the ball and keep dribbling the rubber sphere until you can get past the guards and make a better attempt to score a point.
Having the persistence of having the goal in mind, and willing to put up with the cycle of adventure that lies within once more could quite possibly be just enough to score that goal. I remember two and a half years ago, when I started learning php/mysql that I was getting really frusterated with technology, and just wanted to drop everything.
I realized that i have accomplished just about everything that I wanted to do with programming php. What I didn’t realize was, that I was sans a Quotation mark in the SQL string, and because I saw my failure and persisted to learn how to properly write SQL strings, I actually caused a small, but to my mind a freaking huge succcess! I was able to store, and manipulate content data! MAN I WAS PSYCHED!!!
The same remains true for Internet marketing, or whatever goals that you want to accomplish. If you are seeing a line of zeroes in your stats report on clickbank, cj, azoogle, adsense, or whatever affiliate network. Or maybe that you are seeing no sales or conversions with what you are trying to sell, maybe there might be a glitch or two.
Think of the product that you are trying to sell, or the service that you trying to promote. Are you not hitting the correct demographics? Are you not putting out enough content and linkages to create enough traffic? Just think that there is some reason, which with a little hard work and effort, and a drive to say “fuck you” to failure, and hello to completing goals, you shall, and can make it!!!
And as I mentioned earlier, it is not about making the quick buck. Write a blog post and two hours later expect sales to beat your weekly income at your day job. DREAM ON!!! It is about making persistence and pushing yourself to place many links, many reviews, some landing pages, test test test and test, and then repeat.
That is my two cents for now. Now you are probably thinking that I am some type of hypocrite when I mention folks such as Alex Goad and a good pal of mine, Norb Czufis from NC Media. let me tell you from personal experience, that NEITHER of these guys are of the get rich quick type. They are not multi-super-fucking millionaires, and for what they do, they have busted ass for years in marketing strategies and failing on occasion.
If you think all they do is push a button and look pretty, this is absolutely not the picture that you should be painting. They just know how to hide the trial and error, but show a great level of passion and love for the game of the internet dollar.
Here is a post from ThomasHowell.org to off you corporate love junkies!!!
Or maybe you have been laid off, fired, or decided to leave that insipid, blood sucking, tasteless world of corporate water cooler bullshit. Maybe your destiny is to lead your own pack of army ants and want to really see what the rabbit hole into the realm of having your own business will bring you.
Want to really kick some ass? Make your enemies, and your past company jobs that you loathe, YOUR RIVALS!!! That is the fun part!!!
Believe it or not, I have never really blogged about Alex Goad, and honestly do not know why.
A reformed black hat SEO and blogger, Alex Goad is well known to the internet marketing community as being a sage of knowledge vital to the internet marketer’s ever survival.
I was first exposed to Alex Goad through a fellow internet publisher, and exposed me to the thought of breaking the plateau in internet marketing.
Alex Goad is known not only for his skills in marketing and promotion, but he has released three award winning, groundbreaking products.
Four Tier Annihilation Method was a book with 100 pages and videos on how to really up your game, through four tiers of different products that could be sold on the internet. Perfect for those starting out, and for the experienced ones who just wanted a sharp edge in making a serious living on the web.

Alex is going to release this product in a limited amount (about 1000 copies available) on November 24th and it will be first come, first serve. The price will be $997 dollars and will be an all-in-one toolkit for those who are really “GAME ON” in the internet marketing sense.
So many of you are probably wondering why I haven’t posted a Weight Loss Monday in a while.
Honestly, I haven’t found a solid purpose outside of the health issue to really lose weight. Call it a depression issue for sure, but really I haven’t been feeling the top of my game.
Usually the top reason for losing weight in my history of losing weight, is on a social level. If I am in an isolated job or career (i.e. internet marketing or freelance programming) where I spend hours making money without the contact of other human beings, the incentive of taking care of my health seems to be not important.
For some people, it may be way different.
I have been fighting some level of depression, and it seems that the only way to knock it the fuck out of my system, is somehow reaching out to the public in one way or another, in a positive light.
Life is short, but a long journey for sure. It takes time to find the perfect reasons for being. Some seem to find it easily, while some spend their whole entire lifetime with trial and error. It is perfectly ok, and life is all about adventure!!!
Who is out there, using Dreamweaver as there ultimate tool for developing anything, from basic landing pages, to complex dynamically driven applications to well designed templates in html and css?
Dreamweaver is great for any level of developer, with separate setups and configurations for designers and programmers.
For those who are not a genius at programming and just want to build a simple, but easy to use design, dreamweaver has a simple 1-2-3 interface. For those who want a system that lets you raw code, build snippets and have the ability to warehouse websites into directories and manage them through the built in FTP, dreamweaver caters to you as well!
But for someone who is lost in the maze of learning Dreamweaver, it could be very discouraging. On a job I had several years ago, I had to learn dreamweaver while I was working this gig and it took way too much unnecessary time.
Using a step-by-step video series to learn Dreamweaver might just be able to fast track your learning experience with Dreamweaver. Check these guys out and see if these videos can help you make the best out of Dreamweaver. You have 60 days to prove them wrong!!!
