The very first person to believe in me when I first made a decision to pursue Internet Marketing full time was Ross Goldberg. He was behind me during the good and the bad times. He always knew when I needed that swift kick in the pants to get me out of a slump, and he always encouraged me to keep going when things were not going my way (or I did not see far enough down the road to know that I just needed to keep going).
I remember the phone call I received in July of 2008, the year I finally walked away from my job. Ross was in Chicago getting set up for his Masters Seminar, and he told me “you need to get up here, bro!”
I was wallowing in the crap that surrounded me at home, and I did not know how I would be able to swing a trip to Chicago, let alone get a hotel room. Well, when I got that call, I had been pretty down, so I told Ross, “I really don’t have the money for a trip to Chicago… I took the time off from work, in the hopes that my commissions would come in, but nothing… I have $50 in my Paypal.”
“Listen, I really need you up here, don’t worry about the hotel room, I’ll make sure you have a place to stay, just get up here, bro!”
So I checked my frequent flyer miles, and I found I had enough miles to book a flight, but the only flight that was available was in less than 2 hours, and I was not ready… but I booked it anyway, because I knew that Ross was counting on me. It took my last $50 to reserve the ticket, because it was less than 24 hours to fly out, but I was able to get the flight.
I sent an email out to my list between shower and packing, telling them about my trip and how I had my coaching program available at an outrageous discount and that they could score it while I was flying to Chicago. Then I drove like the wind to Gainesville Airport, and of course I missed the flight, because it takes an hour and a half to get to Gainesville, but I knew that a second flight was leaving from there an hour later. As soon as I arrived in Gainesville, the ticket agent said I had missed my flight, but that they had gotten me a spot on the next flight, so I ended up getting to Chicago that same evening!
During my layovers, I advertised a couple of products that I had on Rapid Action Profits and found that I had made a couple of sales netting me about $30, which helped pay my lunch and dinner. But I arrived late that night, and I couldn’t catch up with Ross. his phone went straight to voice mail, which told me he was crashed, because he was running pretty hard all day, getting set up for the event the next morning.
I hung around the hotel lobby for a while, and finally settled in for the night on a loveseat in a (somewhat) quiet section where all the conference rooms were, and stretched out to sleep a while. Around 2AM, I still hadn’t slept, and I looked at my email via my phone and noticed that I had made a sale of my coaching program. I was excited, because that was $200… so I quickly went to the front desk and told them I needed a room. The clerk said they were sold out, but she pointed me to the hotel across the street! I went across the street and booked a room for $179 for the night – I needed to sleep, the music in the lobby at the first hotel was too perky for me to sleep…lol.
The rest of the weekend continued to be filled with miraculous experience after miraculous experience,, as I found just enough money to get what I needed – either lunch, dinner, parking fees and I bunked with Ross in his room along with two other marketers who slept during the day and worked most of the night on graphics and other projects (they usually didn’t get into the room until Ross and I headed out, so we hardly ever saw them…lol).
I would not have met Felicia Slattery, Tracy Repchuck and James Lee there, which would have made it much harder for me to become friends with them at a later time (each of whom I have seen multiple times since that event). I doubt I would have been chosen for the Impact Action Team, had I not made that leap of faith. And I would not have solidified my friendship with a certain Yvonne Lyon, whom I had first met in person at the first Masters Seminar. We had lunch together with Willie Crawford, dinner with a huge group and of course, she was helping Ross with the seminar as I was. So I managed to talk with her quite a bit throughout the weekend.
That Chicago Masters Seminar was the turning point in my business, too. I now had a coaching client, who went on to become a speaker in his own right, not even one year later. I had developed relationships with many of my favorite marketers, who are now some of my best online friends – Lee & Robin Collins, Alan Bechtold, Erik Stafford (who spoke for the first time on Ross’ stage) and of course Donna Fox, who I was bumping into at almost every event I attended or helped at in 2007 and 2008.
Because of Ross Goldberg, I never gave up on my dream. I hope you have a friend like Ross in your life. Someone who will not give you everything, but will believe in you and help you become your best. I think there are times we take a friendship for granted, and I feel like sometimes I took advantage of my friendship with Ross to get access to his training and tools – even though I would gladly work for Ross on whatever he wanted done if he asked.
But because of this access, I was able to develop on online presence that makes it very difficult to erase. Ross revealed everything he knew about web traffic in his first ebook, Traffic Masters. Then his Traffic Manifesto updated the Traffic Masters to include much of what is taught today by the other marketers. It is no surprise to me that Ross is releasing his first print book: The Web Traffic Book. He has been the guy that the experts talk about when they are discussing traffic strategy. And his software is designed to work without leaving a footprint, which Ross explains in detail on his blog.
When you get his book, keep it next to your computer. You will find yourself referring to it time and again as you plan out your SEO. You might want a couple copies if you have a staff, because having everyone on the same page is crucial in getting your message out there.
Since today is Ross’ birthday, tell others about his book. Either you can send them here to read about the man behind the legend, or send them to his website:
Then tell my friend Happy Birthday!




Jeff Johnson announced that his Traffic Voodoo course is closing down Friday night at 11:59PM for those who are waiting on their paycheck before they take the plunge! It is worth every penny that Jeff is asking for the course. He extended the training to a FULL 6 Months, and some of the bonuses he has added are just too off the hook for me to put into print! Just go to the website and read all about it:
I am still offering my bonus until Friday at midnight, too, so if you want to read more about what I am offering you as a bonus, just head over to Aggressive-Affiliates and you will get the scoop!
Melford and Concetta Bibens have a winner on their hands! Hundreds have already taken them up on their offer to reveal everything that they did to get to a consistent monthly income that needs very little maintenance. The best part is that it involves doing things that are not hard and only take a few hours a week! I have been working my butt off for too long, doing 16 hours a day, just so I can make money in my sleep! So this Fast Income Formula course will be a breath of fresh air!
Go ahead and watch their video (it is kinda long, but worth it):
I have added a bonus for people who buy Fast Income Formula from my link.
I will set up 5 SEO blogs for you with the traffic sucking plugins installed, and I will teach you how to use Microsoft Live Writer to post to your blogs so that you get awesome traffic to what ever you are promoting. I will include 6 months of hosting for the 5 blogs, so if you don’t have a hosting account, you don’t have to worry about having to get one. After the 6 months, you will just pay $5 per month per blog (unless you have them on your servers).
To claim your bonus, buy Fast Income Formula from my link (I might get paid a commission for that) and then paste your receipt info into a ticket at my help desk.
Come see me speak at the Internet Marketing Super Seminar next month in sunny Orlando! I will be among some amazing speakers and VIP’s so it would be amazing if you could come and be a part of the magic! The event is held at a magical hotel, too, because it looks just like a castle from the Disney movies!
The first 25 who get their tickets from my link will also get to be a part of 2 teleseminars where I will help you find the correct goals for the event and the correct action plan following the event. Once you get your ticket, simply paste your receipt info into a ticket at my help desk and I will get you the teleseminar information!
Have an amazing day!

Melford and Concetta Bibens are finally revealing their Fast Income Formula to a limited number of people by private invitation only! Because you are one of my loyal readers, I am inviting you to look it over:
Click here to watch their very revealing video. They reveal how they made $89,000 in ONE MONTH!
Melford and Concetta used to run a gym in the Catskills – they mortgaged their home to open it – right in the beginning of the recession from hell! They reveal a lot more of their story on the video, which you should definitely watch all the way to they end, because they also reveal their formula on this video!
Unfortunately, in my last post about Miracle Traffic Bot, I predicted that Paul Ponna was going to be raising the price on the software that handles your article, video and social bookmark submissions on complete autopilot.
Well, it appears that he is doing it today, so if you had any plans to get Miracle Traffic Bot, you should probably do so right away!
Ross Goldberg releases his newest product, a software program that sets up your link wheels to help get you traffic. The sales page is kind of strange, with cavemen on it, but the cool part is the way it will set up your traffic wheels to drive FREE traffic to your money pages!
Check it out. And don’t forget to join me on my Blog Talk Radio Show this morning: Blogging With Micheal!




Ever wonder why the guru’s make all
the money and leave you fighting for
table scraps that look like pieces of
dog poop and tell you its sirloin steak?
Well haven’t you gotten sick of seeing
them make all the money while they
pass off little so called secrets to you
that leave you hanging & wanting
more?
Listen up cause you won’t want to
miss this.
I got an email the other day from
one of my friends and they found
this really underground marketer
who finally had enough of the
“gurus” that it drove him to the point
of going bonkers and he basically
just said…
“#uck it! the money is out there
and I’m going to get it”
(That was over 32 months ago when he said that)
Now, he’s about to burst on to the scene.
He’s been under ground forever making
BANK and it looks like he’s going to
RUFFLE some feathers in the marketing
community.
Believe me this guy is a *crazy,
underground, never-before- revealed*
marketer that has been quietly (well
not any more) making Bank and been
sought out by some of the biggest
marketers online who have forced him
to put up or shut up.
————————————–
YOU DON’T NEED A PRODUCT
————————————–
It’s true.
This is what this marketer is claiming,
(oh by the way he calls himself the
Affiliate Punisher, catchy I like it)
He says your going to learn how to
take full advantage of web 2.0 and
build a list on autopilot, but more
importantly your going to learn how
to profit with that list for life as a
super affiliate, (he calls it the free
money for life model)
and… he’s going give you a blueprint
on how he gave his secrets away to
some of his students and one of his
students used the Affiliate Punisher
System and kick-butt techniques to…
(check this out)…
…Get 22,000 customers in 181 days
making $2,178,000.00!
Check it out here, it’s sizzling’
Have an amazing day!
Micheal & Yvonne
P.S. This ‘Affiliate Punisher’ is going to
be releasing his system full of videos,
process maps, pdf’s in a day or two
about how he does all this ninja stuff,
so be sure to keep an eye out.




I woke up this morning and it struck me. I am being mentored by Ted Nicholas, the man that all copywriters look up to!
Live Events Revisited
One thing you hear me repeat often is that your business is doomed to stagnate if you do not attend live events! After all, if you do not surround yourself with people more successful than yourself, you are only going to decline in proficiency and energy levels. It has been proven, when athletes who perform in the top of their field were placed in a room with non-athletes, they found that the non-athletes had much higher energy levels, but the athletes had lowered their own energy.
You Need A Mentor
I have felt like I had been under the wing of some great people in the years I have been online. Ken McArthur, Peter Parks and now Ted Nicholas are all people I have studied under. With these people showing me the direction I should be heading, and the proper ways to structure my business, I can only fail if I sabotage my own success.
Enter The Saboteur!
Michael Penland stuck his finger in my face and said, “Your life will change, Micheal! And nobody will ever be able to control you again after that event!”
He said this after convincing me to attend his Dare To Grow Rich event on January 15-17 2010! I canceled my plans to go on the Marketers Cruise, just so I could attend this workshop that has changed the lives of many of today’s superstar marketers.
Michael Penland was right on the money about that, though, because I have felt at times that I am my worst enemy when it comes to money. So it was refreshing to have someone want to help me fix it.
So now I need to start planning what I am going to do before that workshop since I won’t be on the ship. Now would be a good time to start filling the swimming pool…lol!
