I’ve decided to release some complementary videos and audios, plus a resource guide PDF—strategies that’ll help you crank out a killer product in record time.

There’s no catch. I’m giving away 3+ hours of video, audio, and more from some recent content that was up until now only available to my coaching class (they paid hundred of dollars to get access to this). Read more…

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Yesterday I talked about an event that was happening today. That event is the launch of a powerful strategy for your business that’s over a century old, but unfortunately misunderstood by the vast majority businesses out there. What is it? Read more…

Tomorrow’s a very important day. Yes, it’s April Fool’s Day, but that’s not why it’s so important (even though I have a bit of fun with it).

No, tomorrow is the launch of a very special program. I call it Foolproof Profits, because in a nutshell, that’s what it is: A “can’t fail” strategy to guarantee your business succeeds in any economy, even this mess of a recession. Read more…

I never knew I was. Until I got 6 emails by the same marketer every time he did an email broadcast. Then I started unsubscribing (from the wrong emails) Only then did I go look at my own campaigns.

I wasn’t happy by what I found.

This 5-minute podcast may help you see if you’re in the same boat too! Read more…

My wife and I ate dinner tonight at a local Red Robin restaurant. They bill themselves as having “Gourmet Burgers and Spirits.”

While we didn’t have any spirits, we did try their gourmet burgers. They were good, without a doubt. But the one thing that stood out was their “bottomless steak fries” that you get with every burger. Indeed, any sandwich, I believe.

Why is this important? Read more…

A lot of people think posting to forums is a waste of time. It CAN be, if you’re there just to chat or kill time. But forums represent a tremendous opportunity on many fronts if you use them correctly.

Now I’m not going to talk about marketing your products and services through forums. Not exactly. It’s been discussed many times before by people a lot smarter than me. But I will talk about something that anyone who chooses to sell through a forum outlet will want to know. Read more…

A few days ago I wrote about how I finally jumped on the Facebook bandwagon.

Since then as you probably know, I’ve been connecting with lots of people for networking and friendship purposes.

It’s a great way to build relationships and get in contact with other like-minded business folks, any one of who could be the missing link in a future (or present) project of yours. Read more…

Ok, yesterday I wrote about my new adventures with Facebook. Looks like I’ll have much more to write about in the days ahead about Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, among others.

But something interested happened today that I want to share with you. You may slap yourself in the forehead and say, “John, you idiot, this is old news.”

That may be, but this is the first time I’ve noticed it.

Here’s what I mean… Read more…

I have a confession to make.

I might be addicted to Facebook.

I originally signed up with Facebook to test out some pay per click ads. While I did get traffic, it wasn’t the kind of targeted QUALITY traffic I wanted. But hey, you never know until you test, right?

Well, a couple of my marketing buddies saw I had a Facebook account and added me as their friend. Then I started searching to see who else I knew had an account on Facebook. Read more…

Yeah, it’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I even had one person email me to tell me that my blog is growing a beard!

The truth is I’ve just been very busy, between the toolkit launch, and a couple of copywriting jobs for clients. Plus I’m getting ready to go on vacation. My sister is getting married, so my wife and I are heading up to the Cape for that, then perhaps down to Newport, RI. And then from there we’re going to be spontaneous and play it by ear. Read more…
