Great Way To Get Immediate Traffic To Your Site

Last night I discovered how quickly you can get traffic to your site by using a couple of Web 2.0 sites.

I got a Twitter alert by Michael Cheney saying that his live Web cast at MichaelCheney.tv was about to begin at 8:00 EST.

I am on a few of Michael's lists and didn't receive any emails announcing this live event, so I was interested to find out what was going on. If you have a list the size that Michael has, it only makes sense to broadcast a message to them if you want to promote a Web cast.

Well, it turns out that there was some issues with his auto responder and his messages weren't sent.

Did this destroy the whole event?

Not totally.

Sure he didn't get as many viewers as he would have liked but the people that follow him on Twitter and his regulars who check his sites everyday (I think the man is part machine because he does a live show almost every night) showed up.

And as the old saying goes... "The show must go on".

Michael gave a lot of great free information as usual and also offered an insane deal for the people who showed up.

Some good news... I got an email this morning saying that he is having a another Web cast tonight at 8:00 pm EST. So if you missed out last night, you have a chance to see what he's up to tonight.

Ed Dale & The 30 Day Challenge Are Gonna Kick Ass This Year

Anyone who has been in Internet Marketing for a while has probably heard of Ed Dale and The 30 Day Challenge. If you are new to IM and you haven't heard of The 30 Day Challenge, then go now and check out the site.

There was so much that I learned from last years challenge that has made me a better Marketer, but the most important was the techniques they taught us on how to do thorough market research.

Market research is the most important part if you want to make money online, but most people don't put much time into it. That's usually because most people don't know how to research properly.

Well the 30 Day Challenge solved that for me last year and this year it's going to be even better.

Ed has been doing a weekly live Internet show at a very cool site called Justin TV and Ed's channel is at www.justin.tv/eddale which is absolutely amazing. Once you sign up for an account on the site you can watch the live streaming and you can chat with the other viewers or ask Ed any IM questions that you would like answered.

They also have a great feature that once the live show is finished, you can make your own highlight videos. upload them to YouTube and then place them on your blog. I had fun playing with this all day and made some highlights from the last show for you .

Enjoy!

Sick Kids Hospital Gets $4100 Donation From 6 Year Old...

... And she's raising even more as we speak!

An amazing little 6 year old girl by the name of Julia, has written a book called "I Can Do Anything". 100% of the sales she makes goes directly to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.

Julia wrote the book while recovering from surgery at the Hospital For Sick Children because she wanted to help out the hospital that helped her out so much.

I know this has nothing to do with Internet Marketing, but Julia's story touched my heart and I just wanted to write about it and put a link to her site on my blog.

So check out the interview below that City TV did about Julia and make sure you go to her site http://www.icanbeanything.net and make a donation! Sick Kids Hospital is a great hospital and well known around the world.

We Kept Michael Cheney Up Until 1:30 In The Morning...

... Well, sort of.

I just finished up Michael Cheney's FREE Confessions Of A Marketer phone-in call which gave a lot of great information on how to launch a product and make huge profits. The call ended a little past 8:30 EST but Michael lives in Scotland where they are 5 hours ahead of us, so he ended the call sometime after 1:30 his time.

The call include him speaking for an hour and the rest of the time he opened the line to answer any questions about Internet Marketing. So it's his own fault that he was up so late ;-)

Michael's website IWantPLF.com was made especially to promote Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula 2.0 and this phone in ties in with that. The thing is, he really didn't push the product, he just tried to give out a lot of valuable information. That's what I really like about Michael Cheney, he loves to give out as much free stuff as he can to help others become successful.

He will be having another phone in next Thursday if you're interested.

In the meantime check out this video where he talks about what he is giving away as a bonus. Even if you aren't interested in purchasing Product Launch Formula 2.0, check out the video below and get over to his website to take advantage of all the valuable free information that Michael is giving away.



Take care,
John

Michael Cheney's Secret Momentum Lab

I am a huge fan of Michael Cheney!

Why? Because he has changed my life forever with his Secret Momentum Lab.

I have known about Michael Cheney since I first started playing around with Internet Marketing a few years ago but I didn't really know how caring of a person he is until recently.

Let me jump back a few months ago when I discovered his GetMomentumTV website. I loved his videos because they really gave some good advice on how to get momentum and how to become a better overall person.

This was great timing for me because my Internet Marketing Business wasn't doing as well as I liked, so I took a good look at myself and realized that one of my biggest problems was that I do too much "learning" and not enough "doing".

From watching Michael's videos, I got motivated and started "doing" a little bit more.

But it wasn't enough for me. I wanted to do more. Hell, to be blunt, I wasn't making money with my IM business. If I wanted to pay the bills, I have to start making money soon.

Why don't I just go out and get a job... any job?

I'll tell you about that in a bit.

Anyways, at the beginning of January, Michael came out with a new product called Secret Momentum Lab. Being familiar with his GetMomentumTV website and after reading the sales page, I knew I had to invest in his course.

Only one problem... it cost around a thousand bucks!

To me that's a lot of money and it scared the heck out of me. So I thought about it for awhile and decided that I had to do something to help me get to the next level. It also had a money back guarantee so I went for it.

It was the best decision I have ever made.... seriously!

The Secret Momentum Lab helps you to achieve success at anything that you really, really want to do. It provides you with tools and techniques that you can use to get instant momentum anytime you want. Thats important because with momentum, you can achieve anything.

My IM business now has a bright future. I get more done now in 1 day than probably what I got done in whole week before.

But I still have to tell you the BEST thing that happened to me because of this course.

It has nothing to do about Internet Marketing, it has to do with my health.

I have a rare muscle disease called Adult Muscular Dystrophy. Which means that my muscle fibers are unusually susceptible to damage and weaken over time. Just to give you a visual, when I climb stairs I have to pull myself up by the hand railing. When I walk I have to be very careful where I step because if I trip on something, I don't have enough strength to hold myself up and I will fall down.

I try to keep my muscles as strong as possible by walking and doing some cardio on an elliptical machine.

Before the Secret Momentum Lab program, I could only physically do 5 minutes straight. Only after 3 weeks doing the program, I can now do 20 minutes straight and I do it 3 times a week.

I am so proud of that feat because I know that if I can do 20 minutes on the elliptical machine when I have Adult Muscular Dystrophy, then having my own successful Internet Marketing Business and living my ultimate life will be a piece of cake!

Thank you Michael!

The Thirty Day Challenge Was A Success

Been very busy lately doing research and creating content for a new niche I'm going into. Now I know that's no excuse but that is why I have not made a blog post in a while. Ya ya, I know I said I would make a point of making blog posts on a regular basis, but usually when I think of doing it, it's getting late and I want to get some sleep. Anyway, I think I'll add it to my calender to make a post at least once a week. I wouldn't hold my breath though ;-).

Well, the Thirty Day Challenge was a success and I made my $10. Mind you, I didn't reach the goal until 6 days after but the bottom line is that I did make the $10 and it cost me absolutely nothing to get it.

It was a very pleasant surprise to get the first sale. I honestly didn't think that I would receive it because I haven't been getting much traffic to my content. The keyword phrase that I chose was also discovered by about 4 other Thirty Day Challengers as well so there was a lot of Web 2.0 competition.

Since I haven't been getting much traffic to my sites, I decided to do research for a new niche. The main goal after you find a keyword phrase that has a good number of searches per day and that has a low amount of competing Google pages is to get traffic to your sites. At least 200 visitors a day is needed. Since I wasn't getting this with my old niche I decided to start over again. Who knows, I may go back to the old niche sometime down the road.

The Thirty Day Challenge was a great experience and I learned a lot about how to use Web 2.0 to get quick results in Google. The Challenge forum is still active and Ed will be adding new info to the site every few weeks or so.

I also got to know a bunch of great Internet Marketers and even exchanged a few emails with these amazing people. These people are very good at what they do and they want to give some of this information back to help others to be successful too. I am lucky to have been able to learn from them and I would like to thank them. So a big thank you goes to Ed Dale, Dan Raine, Nicolas Messe, Andrew "Nez" Nesbitt, Caro McCourtie, Lisa Hartwell and all my team members.

Thirty Day Challenge YouTube Film Festival

I slapped up my entry for the Thirty Day Challenge YouTube Festival on Sunday. I actually finished it on Friday but didn't put it on YouTube until Sunday because I was trying to build my courage up.

The point of my video was to promote the 30 Day Challenge but do it a little different than the other entries that I saw.

So I got out my old trusty fake teeth... my Philadelphia Flyers hat... and tried to use a wacky accent (I'm a country boy, so it wasn't that much of a stretch).

Well, I made quite an ass out of myself!

Oh well, it was great fun to do and I think that the 30 Day Challenge is going to be great...so what the heck!

Anyway, check it out and watch me act like a fool.
