This Memorial Day weekend was a knockout for me. I got to meet Michael Penland, a guy I had only heard of from a lot of my internet marketing friends who got their start on his stage. In my first visit to a Michael Penland event, I had my socks knocked off!

First of all, the event is first class. He brought in a lot of great marketers like Ted Ciuba, David Preston, Ross Goldberg, Mark Hendricks, Brian Koz, Susan Preston and some that I had not heard of, but who delivered some amazing info like Tor Black – an SEO expert who showed us some great traffic strategies that guarantee instant rankings!

Then he had breakout sessions that showed the attendees how to breakout of the recesssion! We are talking experts like Mark Hendricks, Ross Goldberg and MLM multimillionaire Glenn Turner. Michael Penland even gave us a sneak peek at the company he is in the process of preparing to launch that will turn the MLM industry on its behind.

But now that I am home, I have to get ready for my trip to Washington DC and then to Nashville Tennessee! I will be on the road for almost 3 weeks because I decided to take this one easy and drive 3 days early and visit my mentor, Ken McArthur and then head home slowly from Nashville and visit with my friends in North Carolina and South Carolina.

I will be having my Blogging With Micheal Show on the road, so tune in and tell your friends about it. Tomorrow I am having a guest to discuss site flipping. I am hoping to see lots of people on the call.

Resources For Twitter Resourcefulness

Building The Dream!

I sometimes need to build the dream a little bit to get myself going every day. So I thought that I would show you a dream that is in my future.

The Carnival Dream is under construction as we speak, the maiden voyage is scheduled for October of this year. But I am already booked for the January 9th, 2010 voyage of this amazing ship! The Lido deck is on the 10th deck instead of the 9th like on most other cruise ships.

Under Construction: Carnival Dream’s Lido Deck

Here is what she looks like while being built.

Carnival Dream Update

Anyway, I had to tell you about this Dream of mine, since this is what makes me get up in the morning and write when I don’t feel like it. Today I watched the videos and remembered that my friends can come along by signing up at FVRCuise.com where you can make a deposit to reserve your cabin, then the balance is not due until October.

Twitwall Nuggets

When you write to your Twitwall, don’t put the entire post there! You want to get someone’s interest with the first paragraph, and then drive them to your blog. That is the way to bring home the traffic!

@megsmarketing uses Twitwall to drive traffic to her main blog!

By using content nuggets like this, you are finding out how committed the readers are. In the seduction world, they say that if you can get someone to follow you to at least 3 places, you can get them to your home. You want to get your followers to follow you home, too, and the best way to do that is to lead them with good content!

Twitwall allows you to embed video, audio and images along with your posts – which happen to get tweeted, too! So with a single Twitwall post, you can get a percentage of your listeners to come see what you wrote and lead them to your blog!

Controversy Rocks On Twitwall!

Did you write something that gets readers’ panties in a bunch? Let them comment on Twitwall, because the comments will also each send a tweet to the Twitter stream so that even more people will be drawn into the conversation! You could choose a topic that could end up going viral just by taking a controversial stand!

I remember when Rick Butts said that you should unsubscribe from the marketer’s lists who all use the very same promotion email, down to the identical subject line. He got so many people hot under the collar that Ross Goldberg commented his opinion that it was silly to unsub from everyone’s list if you can get some knowledge from their other emails. Soon the back and forth caught the attention of Mashable and the pair eventually went on to discuss this topic on a Ustream.tv show and the whole thing was defused.

Ross Goldberg Gives Worst Internet Marketing Advice Ever

It got a lot of readers and commenters! Publicity accompanies controversy! No publicity is ever completely bad, because it familiarizes people with your name!

Ross Goldberg’s response to Rick Butts’ “worst advice video”

So if you were to use Twitwall for your posts, you would be getting a lot of traffic, plus if they left comments, that would increase the traffic, too!

Twitter Backgrounds Revisited!

One of the tools I should have mentioned in Part 2 of this series was a Twitter Background Checker that allows you to see your background in multiple resolutions to be sure that you aren’t hiding important pieces of the image with Twitter’s logo and timeline!

Tweet Up The Volume!

I recently saw one of my friends starting to get a lot of new followers on Twitter… So one afternoon I peeked over his shoulder while he was working and my jaw dropped in amazement! He was getting 75% of his new followers totally on autopilot, yet his new followers believed he was taking the time to hand select them! From watching him (I took notes while he wasn’t looking) and I was able to figure it out.

Turns out that the system involves using a follower targeting program to help you find followers that are talking about the keywords that you have the software search out. This software then follows those people. About 40% autofollow, and they receive an AutoDM (direct message) asking them if they want to significantly add to their followers and a link to this program!

Only Used For Good – With Great Power Comes Responsibility!

This product is called Twitter Traffic Machine and once I knew what he was using, I went home and bought it, too! After all, I wanted to be able to have traffic flowing to my websites rapidly. I will be reviewing this product on Your Directory Website later this week, because it has some serious potential. If you buy it now, I will give you a video on how to automate the promotions to the new group of followers using one of the secret weapons that Bill talks about, but with a sharp twist that makes this cooler than a snow cone on an August afternoon in Miami!

Buy Twitter Traffic Machine now, then contact my help desk for the video, which will be selling for $37 next week! This will get your Clickbank sales soaring through the roof very rapidly without adding any more work than you would with the TTM program alone!

I will be concluding this series with Part 5 on Friday, this week, I have planned the start of another series plus some surprises!

Have an amazing day!

PS – What are you doing in January of 2010? Come with my friends and join us on the Carnival Dream – http://FVRCruise.com

They Are Tweeting Crazy, I Tell You!

The raving insanity that the business world has over Twitter is bigger than the YouTube craze back in the early 2000’s! Corporations and small business owners alike are looking to get a Twitter profile created to be able to stand in front of their customers.

Twitter is gaining a lot of traction in the business community as executives are seeing the possibilities. Pizza restaurants can have specials sent out to their followers, service stations tell their customers when their car is fixed, or messages them when there is a problem that needs their attention. Lube Express companies can tell their previous customers when it has been 3 months between oil changes.

Twitter Revolution

I read the Twitter Revolution and saw the future! Really, the book really covered a lot of the theory about why Twitter was so quickly growing by leaps and bounds, but it was not until I saw the Twitter TOOLS and how it was possible to make my business grow using twitter and the gadgets and gizmos that make it effective in any advertising and communication situation!

I will be reviewing Twitter Revolution later this week, but I wanted you to know how much information you can get from this book! Now Whenever I see Warren Whitlock or Debra Micek at events, I never see them without their cell phones, which is a prime way to use Twitter. Twitter was designed with the 140 character limit for tweets because of the SMS limitations (SMS is the messaging format for text messaging on cell phones). Because you can get updates via text messaging, it makes Twitter so much more effective than almost every other social network.

Businesses can tap into that by relling customers to turn on device updates so that they can contact them for urgent communications. Employers can contact employees with Twitter through DM (direct messages) direct to their cell phones, so that critical information can be sent to a team very quickly without investing in expensive equipment.

Tomorrow I will talk more about how to make your Twitter Profile speak to your potential customers!

In the mean time, check out the profiles I created for some clients:

http://twitter.com/JVQueen

http://twitter.com/TheBobRoseShow

http://twitter.com/DrvTimeHappyHr

If you want your own cool twitter background, you can get them here:

http://ScratchMyBackground.com

I do both professional corporate branding profiles and fun personal profiles, but I make them so that the important information is not hidden by Twitter content. I also add a feature where all of your links are readable when someone clicks on View Background and the browser shows the entire image.

This is the Twitter profile background image made by Scratch My Background for one of the clients I met on Twitter. She lives in LaJolla and loves the beach, so gave her the beach scene with functional link bars so people can go check out her websites. If someone right clicks and selects View Background, you can read all of the links on the right which are repeated from the links on the left!

Have an amazing day!

Introducing Hands Off Blogging

Will Blog For Food

As a blog owner, you understand that content is the reason you have visitors. You also understand that good content requires research and a devotion to the topic. The problem is that when we create a niche blog to sell affiliate products, we aren’t that interested in the topic, and we are time challenged, so we buy PLR products and cut it up into pieces and post it on our blog.

Then you read the content and immediately see how it looks like someone wrote the post translating from one language to another before ending up in English… Quality articles from PLR is hard to find, because many PLR merchants take articles they find and spin them into new articles rather than pay for someone to research and write from scratch.

The struggle to make a blog that people will come back to for more information is not only impacting the affiliate marketing industry, it is causing the search engines to drop blogs that do not update their content very often. This makes the blog less profitable, because nobody is finding it.

Alas, Someone Hears You!

I am starting a new project that will solve the content problem once and for all, because my writers will be doing all the work. I have at my disposal a very good team of writers numbering in the hundreds who actually speak and write in English as their first language! These writers cover thousands of topics of expertise, and they are willing to research and write blog posts and articles for your blog!

Not only that, but I am offering a maintenance package along with the content to make your blog totally hands off! You just place your affiliate links in strategic locations, and allow my team to give your blog the content the readers and search engines love plus make sure it is updated and backed up in case of emergencies.

As I start rolling out Hands Off Blogging, you will see that more services will be available in the future, like video creation, audios of your blog posts, etc. For now we are only offering articles and blog posts with or without a maintenance package, but when we roll out the additional services, the first people we will be contacting is our current clients!

The Offer You Can’t Refuse!

Now here is what I am doing right now…

I have a beta test going on right now to see how the writers take to getting the content done in a hurry while still delivering quality work. I want to pile on more clients now while the writers are busy, but I don’t want to kill them, either.

These are trial offers only, which means after 30 days the price returns to the full price. You have 30 days to cancel, once your content is in your blog, we cannot remove it, and therefore we cannot refund payments since we pay our writers for their work.

I am only allowing 10 trial spots in each of the categories, to make sure my writers can handle the volume. Once we are sure they can handle it, we will be opening it up to affiliates to sell at full price!

Check it out now, because once all these spots are gone, we are going to launch.

Have an amazing day!

Time Sure Flies When You Socialize!

How to Not Suck at Socializing
1. Start a conversation.
2. Look for the little things.
3. Dress the part.
4. Conversations take two, not just you.
5. Keep open body language.

Socialization on a blog is not that different from socializing in real life! You locate other bloggers in your niche and start a conversation with them by commenting on their blog. When you comment, don’t look like a spammer by saying “nice blog” instead, take the time to look for the little things that you either agree or disagree with so that you can start that dialog. Of course, you shouldn’t start right in and beat them to a virtual pulp with the strength of your logic, or you won’t get a very good conversation started, you are much better off starting off with something you do agree with, then going on to the part where you part ways.

In dressing the part, you should not be using an affiliate link to your biggest money making product and the keywords for your product as your name and website. You should use your name, or your blog title, and a link back to a related blog post to the subject you are discussing.

When someone leaves a comment on your blog, thank them for commenting, both on the blog and in an email. This helps keep the dialog between two or more people, and encourages the wallflowers to participate.

Body language on a blog is your tone when you write. When you write in an angry and foreboding tone, people are not going to feel as likely to respond when you are trying to start a conversation. Also, how you respond to others’ comments makes a big difference in whether someone else will comment on your blog. Bloggers who bite the heads off of commenters with opposing viewpoints usually end up not getting many comments at all.

So socializing using your blog is very important and very much like socializing in real life. Keep in mind that you are writing to people, and you are much more likely to see traffic growth both in the short term, but in the long term as well, because people will spread the word about good resources.
