Christmas Time Means More Identity Theft

(if you're in a rush, here's the link to make yourself an undesireable target to Identity theft thieves: CLICK HERE)

The Holiday Season is upon many of us once again...

...and most victims of ID theft won't find out they've been victimized until 14 months after the crime has taken place. That's too late - the damage will have been done and the victims will spend both long hours and big money trying to undo what the identity thieves have done to them.

While Identity Theft already has the distinction of being one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, the holiday season represents an exponential increase in opportunities for criminals to take advantage of you. That is why I want you to read this. Because one thing is absolutely certain - the crime WILL BE committed - and many, many times. It's going to happen to a lot of people and there's nothing you can do to change that.

However...you CAN have SOME influence over to WHOM it will or won't happen, meaning YOU. You have the power to make yourself an undesireable target. You have the power to make yourself more invisible than the next person. Millions of people are going to be whipping out their credits, whipping out their social security numbers and doing all kinds of careless things all year round and especially many times more this holiday season.

You don't have to be one of them.

And if you think "it's real easy" to avoid ID theft, that all you have to do is just be "extra careful" (whatever that means to you right now), then you really don't understand the mindset of the ID theft criminal. The ID theft criminal does not look like a mugger, or someone on a wanted poster - the ID theft criminal isn't only searching through trash barrels.

Often times, the ID theft criminal can be the one staring you in the face and saying "Thank you, have a nice day!" as you go to leave a store. It can be ANYONE that doesn't necessarily fit the stereotype "criminal" description...which is why it is the fastest growing crime!

While others are pitching you on using their autoresponder service, or buying their latest revision of the 10,000 eBay guides that are already swamping the market, I am glad to present you with information that can REALLY make a difference in your life because there's nothing like an EASILY PREVENTABLE ID THEFT to rain on your parade for years to come. And who can anyone blame when the information needed to prevent it cost less than a month of cable TV?

So forget about clever tear-jerking ad copy.

All you ever have to know is just one person who ever had their identity stolen to know what a frustrating gut-wrenching nightmare of anxiety identity theft is. The only thing worse than watching a friend or loved one go through identity theft is to go through it yourself, and to have your friends and loved ones watching YOU go through it.

Now maybe the massive increase in ID theft hasn't hit home with you yet, but just look at this unique piece of information: my brother played a huge part in helping the area's Attorney General enter office. I know from him personally, and from comments in newspapers, that

ID THEFT is the FASTEST growing crime!

as it is in many other countries, as well, mainly because it's a white collar crime due to cheap heroine making it's way into upper middle class communities. These people don't fashion themselves as "street thugs" and don't resort to the more obvious crimes of robbery and muggings. Instead, they will do what's easiest such as dig through your trash, or swipe your card info in a workplace. Whatever the case may be, it doesn't matter. No matter how your Identity gets stolen, you, your friends and your loved ones are all in for a rough time.

And to think, a teeny tiny inexpensive book with just about all the information you'll need to know on how to both protect yourself can easily be yours just 30 seconds from now.

Click Here to See It Now.

Many a-time you've heard the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." or "If only...if only I could go back in time and do things differently."

Well consider this the "second chance" and not the first

so that you'll be amongst those who won't have to wish they could go back in time.

To Make Yourself an Undesireable Target for the rapidly growing number of Identity Thieves...

Check This Out.

Merry Christmas & Happy Hannukah!

Lookin' out for ya,
Sam
PS. We both know that preventing ID theft is
not one of those things that excites us, like
a good TV show, a drink or time spent with great
friends, but prevention is important so that you
can more fully enjoy those things that drive you
wild in a good way. ;-) Take a look, you won't
be disappointed, that's for sure:

Here's How Much $$ I've Made This Month

Dear Reader,

I know you hear from amateurs all the time, well-intended individuals who have either made nothing or had 1 or 2 lucky paydays and then rave on about how they're making thousands..."and you can, too!" It really doesn't bode well for those of us who really do because it makes our work at earning your trust just a little more difficult each time.

Every day I receive mail telling me that the latest and greatest has just arrived and that, if I don't join immediately, I'm going to miss out on the biggest, baddest, most profitable venture of my life. Amateurs. Why do they lie? And why do program owners let them? Do you? Why?

If you lie, or have been lied to, I want it to stop right now. But I'm not just going to lecture to you on a stump or from a bully pulpit in a self-righteous tone as if I know what's best for you because I know that positive change doesn't come that way. The only time I have ever witnessed positive change taking place is when someone who UNDERSTOOD MORE actually involved themselves with some READY AND WILLING persons who understood less. For each there is a price, and for each there is a result.

The one who understands more pays, in part, by suffering the ignorance the one who understands less. And the one who understands less pays, in part, with his ignorance. In other words, if you really want a positive change then you have to find someone who understands more than you and be willing to let go of ideas that have either never served you, or no longer serve you. And for that, of course, this person of greater understanding needs to be someone you can trust.

Otherwise, the changes you think of as positive happen by accident - not from understanding, but from happenstance, from Nature. And lacking understanding one attributes it to all kinds of forces that are beyond the ability of one to verify. This comforts the individual just enough to allow him to go about his merry way thinking that good fortune is a random event, or left to the mere whims of a Higher Being. Perhaps there's some truth in either, but it isn't difficult to reason that were a Higher Being at some kind at the helm, it would be intelligent and wouldn't just zap people with good fortune. In fact, take a look at what happens with many of those who win huge sums of money...by accident...by pure luck...their understanding of money is lacking and they eventually lose it and/or self-destruct.

That is why most of the people who are reading this post are not making money to their satisfaction and are resigned to chasing around some 19-29yr old kids who... by accident...got lucky. And beyond verification, as I'd said earlier, their luck is wrongly presented as having been from understanding...from some supposed effort they made, or some "scroll that was found by a priest in the caves of Brazil." I mean, the nonsense is never in short supply.

So you must find someone you can trust and be willing to give up ideas that are ineffective and keep you in poverty. It's not your fault that such ideas exist in your mind - you never had much of a defense against them when they were first put there. You can read more about it here in a pdf article that I made available in an earlier post:

The Battle For Your Mind

There are many marketers who "won the lottery" and learned about things like "Hypnotic Marketing" and "NLP", but not all of those marketers understood their power or how to wield them. They have brought many of you into a group of people who run from one side of the ship to the other in order to keep the boat from capsizing. Quite often, someone not much different than you falls off the boat and is washed away, never to be seen again. However, thanks to viral marketing tactics, you are easy to replace. Did you do it to yourself? Or, did it just happen to you?

Or wait...maybe you think you're not caught up in all that, that you're an exception to all of this and you just happen to be here reading this because you made some collosal choice to be here. Wow! Who the hell am I to say all this, right? Who are you Sam Freedom that you think you can speak so knowingly, with such an aire of authority? Why don't you just [expletive deleted]!

As a group, we may never know why I speak about these things, but, perhaps, a few people can.

Let's bring this back down to the level of marketing for our daily bread:

This past week, I presented two opportunities:
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/An-End-To-Struggling

and...

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/A-Two-Minute-Movie

Each of these opportunities exists for a different kind of person. The first opportunity is for those among us who are stuck - who feel like they've kind of got their feet wet but they can't get any traction and might even be starting to backslide a little. If the thought of your next month's bills is bothering you right now, or of even any concern, then the first opportunity is for you.

Liz is top-notch and made $100,000 her first year online. She's considerate and dedicated and is going to see all of her students through to a place where they are finally making money online. If you qualify, as stated above, and are ready to shed your ignorance, click here:

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/An-End-To-Struggling

The second opportunity is for those among us who have an extreme desire to make a lot of money online but they just have trouble discerning what is a high potential opportunity and what is not. It is also for those who are relatively happy with the results of their marketing efforts but are starting to feel like taking a big step up on the earnings ladder. If that describes you, then the second opportunity is for you:

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/A-Two-Minute-Movie

In that, you would be aided by my trusted online partner, Lamar Owens and myself. Lamar has 6 years of solid experience with every aspect of marketing. He has successful webhost services, autoresponder services, a huge leads business and this list could go on for quite a while. Suffice it to say his 6-figure/yr earnings plus stellar testimonials from 100s of people are what attracted me to joining forces with him 3 years ago.

We are taking that infrastructure he already has in place and using it to build our team's downlines. Since resources are not infinite, we too, like Liz, are limiting the amount of people we take into our fold though we haven't come to a number yet. In any case, having made approximately $30,000 in sales in the past 2 weeks, with no sign of slowing down, it's pretty clear to those who have signed on already that we understand our business.

You are either desperately in need of a break where someone will work with you until you are finally making money, OR, you are already making money but just looking for a great place to invest some of it for a big step up the economic ladder. Once you've qualified yourself, and know under which category you exist, choose the proper link below and we'll get to work on creating a positive change for you.

Liz:

As always, I wish you the very best,

Gary Ambrose & Nickelmania - 100% Commissions!

We all have marketers we get along with, and those we don't. Those we don't like, and those we do. So let's just say that Gary and I have never quite seen eye to eye - to our credit, however, things have always remained civil.

Just the same, I give credit where credit is due. I absolutely LOVE the marketing concept that Gary just employed. He created 2 really cool products that will be VERY useful to people throughout this holiday season and the years to come.

But here's what he did differently, he started the package off at a NICKEL....yes, FIVE CENTS. Then the price is set to raise by 25 cents per hour, then 15 cents, then 10....so he states.

The price has already crept up a little! Click Here to see what it's at now!

BUT WAIT!

That's not the hottest thing about it. What's REALLY HOT is that after you buy it, you get to resell it and keep 100% of the commissions for yourself! Holy COW! Do you know what means?

That means....YOU BETTER GET OVER THERE FAST!

Click Here to Get Over There Fast!

Wow, cool one!

Oh No! Not Another Firesale! Aaaaaaaaaaarghhh!

In case you're new to the internet marketing culture, a "Fire Sale" is something like a "Going Out of Business!" Sale. In real life, a store would be selling remaining inventory at drastically reduced prices due to either going out of business soon, or a recent fire had ravaged their building.
Fire Sales," quite frankly, would be PACKED with lines of eager consumers going down the street because everyone thought they were going to get a super-hot deal. In fact, people would often buy large lots consisting of many things they didn't need, nor would ever use, in order to get just ONE very hot item still at a substantial discount. They reasoned that they could either resell the rest of the package somewhere else and/or give some of it away as gifts.

(note: If you're feeling a bit rushed, you may just see the finished product by clicking on this box):

It was about 1 year ago that successful internet marketer, Mike Filsaime, introduced the first ONLINE "fire sale." Now, not only do online fire sales offer the same HUGE discounts on large package sales, but they also incur an even GREATER sense of urgency *because* the price of the sales package is scheduled to increase *EVERY DAY*! Add to that, each customer is then offered the opportunity to RESELL the package for FIFTY-PERCENT (or more) of the package price - PAID INSTANTLY! (Since most sales are made at the lower prices of fire sales, purchasers scramble to inform others as quickly as possible because each day that passes represents a price increases, and the result is an unprecedented frenzy!)

Now to cut to the chase...

...shortly after the first fire sales, Mike Filsaime offered an early peek inside the fire sale process in his free series, "Firesale Secrets." This was very nice and helpful, BUT it wasn't really complete; however, since it was FREE, nobody complained. They just soaked up what they could. :-) What followed, though, was an onslaught of hugely amateurish attempts to re-create the feeding frenzy of the original fire sale phenomenon. Every time one opened his or her email box there were notices of fire sale this, fire sale that, and most of the fire sales were horribly lacking in one, or more, areas that had made the original fire sale phenomenon a BLAZING success.

And the plain truth is...

...people starting becoming sick of hearing about fire sales. And with the exception of a few stragglers, most people concluded that the days of the monolithic fire sale had abruptly come to an end.

BUT SURPRISE!

What almost none of us could have even fathomed, though, was that all the while, Michael Rasmussen, another successful entrepeneur and good friend of Mike Filsaime's, had gone deep into his think chamber and started developing the most comprehensive, in-depth, inside look at how to PROPERLY run a fire sale for MAXIMUM PROFIT! This is like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, no pun intended. The fire sale was, is and continues to be THE most effective and reliable way to generate the LARGEST amounts of profits in the SHORTEST period of time - PERIOD! No longer do we have to cringe when we see the words "Fire Sale!" because now, for what amounts to almost NOTHING to those already in this game a while, ANYONE can access ALL of the most important secrets of what constitutes a beautiful and wildly successful fire sale!

In fact, let me put it to you this way.

If ever again should you see a fire sale that annoys you, then you will know, without fail, that the site owner did not study Michael Rasmussen's wealth of information. And to boot, if YOU ever want to make the LARGEST amount of profit in the SHORTEST period of time (and that means *not annoying people* with an amateur display!) then you really owe it to yourself, right now, to pick up a copy of what is going to be one of the biggest "sleeper products" of the decade:

FIRESALE PROFITS!

By "sleeper product", I mean that, truth be told, unfortunately, most marketers are too green (new and inexperienced) to know that other than *passive income*, a fire sale is the absolute next best thing for making a super huge smile appear across your face. Take a look. See for yourself. Here's exactly what I mean...

Sam

P.S. As a goodwill gesture of help and kindness, I will gladly aid
anyone who purchases "Firesale Profits" from this page with a completely FREE WEBSITE and FREE UNLIMITED AUTORESPONDERS to run your very first fire sale. Because I put my money where my mouth is when it comes to helping you succeed!

The Lazy Pig vs RoboRiches

What's this? First The Rich Jerk took on RoboRiches and RoboRiches opened a can of whoop*ss on The Rich Jerk. Even at HALF PRICE, The Rich Jerk was outsold FIVE to ONE! So what does that mean?!

It means that all we really do is the only thing that really matters: we help people like you discover which product is best for you. Now, The Lazy Pig awaits you.

The Rich Jerk, it was stated, is the best buy if you're already IN Business and need an advanced set of strategies and tactics to super-magnify your results. And RoboRiches, we discovered, is ALSO advanced, but instead of a set of tactics, it's a SYSTEM whereby Brian Garvin, renowned in internet marketing circles, basically says, "Do what we tell you and it will work." Obviously, you have to have some faith in the guy but to his credit, he has proven himself many times over in the eyes of the public.

Then in comes The Lazy Pig! - kind of a nice blend of both worlds. As far as monetary potential, I'd say it's claims are dwarfed by either The Rich Jerk or RoboRiches, but The Lazy Pig concept is so simple and so delightful that once you hear it, your mind will say, "Yeah, but there has to be something MORE."...."There's no WAY it's THAT simple..."

It really is...but you have to see for yourself so I'll let The Lazy Pig tell you himself!
Go see Lazy Pig here so you can see EXACTLY what this totally new strategy is all about.

Your friend in success,
Sam
ps. If you're on a tight budget and need money FAST, then The Lazy Pig is the way to go. But if you've got the funds to spare then AT LEAST 2 of the products mentioned here belong in your private internet marketing library.

Technorati tags: Home Based Business, Work at Home, Home Business, Home Based Business Opportunity, Home Based Business Opportunities, Business Software, Sam Freedom, SamFreedom, Lazy Pig,

Just came across this on my sojourns. The gentleman asks for a link back in exchange for a professionally designed LOGO. The thing is, to me, a link back to him is WAY more valuable than a logo.

In fact, how bout you link TO ME, and I'll BUY you a logo?! Then again, it all depends on what your site rank is. If you have a piddly no traffic site that you just set up for this purpose then....

The #1 Coolest Guy on the Planet on Google AND Yahoo

From the desk of Sam Freedom, "The Coolest Guy on the Planet":

Forgive me while I gloat. It's something I do very rarely and never to the detriment of another. But in this case, it is because bragging rights were the goal in this good-natured contest between internet marketers (many of them self-proclaimed SEO experts.) And out of what seems like nowhere, this guy, this internet marketing demagogue sweeps past what must be about 4-5 dozen guys and takes 1st place in Yahoo and Google.

What's even more odd is if you check the winning site's backlinks, there are only 8. :-)

What does this mean? Hmm? Google doesn't honor "nofollow tags" in blog comments the way Yahoo has been, so it's not due to anything like Blogsubmitter PRO. So who can tell me? Whose on the same plane as Good Ol' Sam Freedom here...comment below if you have some wild and crazy thoughts as to why, with only a scant EIGHT backlinks, Sam Freedom outflanked 4-5 dozen prolific internet marketers (some SEO experts) and took the #1 spot in both Yahoo AND Google!

All along, I had really hoped Brad Callen had a good sense of humor because I'm a marketer who marches to the beat of a different drum and I really thought this one was pretty funny:

But then it got just a little bit funner...juuust a little bit. See, people were so curious about my Google ad that all their clicking on it earned it a spot in the top sponsors section and the end result looked something like this...

So, why do you think Sam Freedom has a #1 ranking in Google for a term competed for by top internet marketers with only 8 backlinks and surely less experience, right? And do you think Brad Callen has a healthy sense of humor?!

Until next time, best wishes.
Sincerely,
Sam

A Big List, or a BIGGER List? Those Are Your Only 2 Options...

(Near the end, I explain how you can also obtain Unlimited Autoresponders that DO NOT require you to reconfirm your optin leads...just LOAD and GO! FREE!)

Not having a list is not an option. The title clearly says, "A Big List, or a Bigger List?" and since you are reading this, you have, unbeknownst to you, tacitly agreed to one or the other. So if you do not have a mailing list, or you think it's way too hard for you to get one, or you're unhappy because yours is really puny, then you won't get any sympathy from me. Because I'm going to show you, and give you, concrete ways to build your list - to either be BIG or....

BIGGER!

Let me come at this from another angle.

As of this same time next year, there's going to be somewhere on the order of another 24 million people surfing the web. Out of those 24 million, some of them will have built a mailing list in less time than it took either of us. But MOST of those 24 million are going to be looking to BUY something.

And out of those who want to BUY something, MANY will want to buy something that YOU have already heard about and/or have tried. Now...

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE READY FOR THAT?

In the previous article, I spelled out clearly how it is I continue to both survive AND thrive even when my webhost is under a Denial of Service Attack. I spelled out, clear as day, that because I had paid the modest fee on the one-time-only offer upon signup at ListDotCom, I am now able to email 5,000 random people EVERY OTHER DAY for as long as I, or Mike Filsaime, live. :-) And that I earn between $50-$200 each time.

As you can see in the previous posts comments (and in my email moreso), people wrote to me asking,

"Ok Sam, you've made a very good case for the ListDotCom Diamond Membership Upgrade, now what should we sell?!!"

Well I can't tell EXACTLY everything I sell or people would copy me and I would lose my shirt big time. However, in some comment replies, I DID link to Mike Filsaime's PayDotCom which has 100s of merchants with 1000s of affiliate product to choose from. And I said that since Diamond Membership upgrades have every other day FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES to email 5,000 people then, unless there was a financial crises at hand, they would have ample time to experiment and to do a little testing to find out what was right for them.

Furthermore, I went on to say that any member of my list who reads my emails and blog posts is constantly exposed to some fine examples of writing that he or she can study (not copy, but study) to help get a good idea of how to do the same. I mean it's all right here, like out in the open, a REAL way to go about making some cold hard cash rather quickly and regularly.

AND YET...I SHALL BE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT ONE OF THE SECRETS I PROMOTE WHEN EMAILING TO THE 5,000 RANDOM LISTDOTCOM MEMBERS.

Now if you're on my list, you may know that I've already told people TWICE about what you're going to see next, however, I've never quite framed it this way before, or told people HOW I have used it to explode my list huge. I just offered this awesome list building product simply AS a list building product without ever having mentioned that I use it in conjunction with ListDotCom.

But before I tell you what it is, let me tell you WHY I use it. Even though we get to email 5,000 people every other day for the rest of our lives - live people just like you and me! - I still consider EACH and EVERY mailing PRECIOUS! Each one you miss, or mess up, is like throwing money and leads out the window. And you work too hard for that...I know I do. So here's the formula I use to maximize my ListDotCom Diamond Membership mailing results every other day.

Each outgoing message (except for rare circumstances) must contain both,

• A brief tempting description, about 1-2 paragraphs long, of a hot, direct sale item that invites or teases the reader to have a closer look, and
• Something FREE - and USEFUL. (lead generation)

That's the minimum necessary for a ListDotCom mailing. Strictly speaking, the reader often gets the fr/eebie and then sometimes buys the product. Win-win-win...

Since I'm burning the midnight oil here, I'll now just show you what it is I use in ListDotCom that gets me signups OVER and OVER and OVER and will make your list BIG!

A MEMBERSHIP GIVEAWAY RIGHTS LICENSE!

With it, I get to give away the following (all the links lead to the same place, but I'm showing them so you can see what some of your splash pages would look like..)

Splash Page 1
Splash Page 2
Splash Page 3
Splash Page 4

(Go ahead, get one, I don't mind! ;-) )

And if you said you wanted your list to be even BIGGER...then

HERE'S THE GRAND-DADDY OF ALL GIVEAWAY LICENSES!

So, now you have the final piece...and you can make the most difficult decision of deciding whether you want a BIG list, or a BIGGER list!

Here are the culprits again...!

MEMBERSHIP GIVEAWAY RIGHTS LICENSE!

and

THE GRAND-DADDY OF ALL GIVEAWAY LICENSES!

And remember, those are just GREAT starters for collecting TONS of leads. You get to give away the memberships on the splash page above wherever allowed...forever and ever...! I do it REGULARLY and that's why my list isn't BIG, but....

BIGGER!!!

Alright, don't just sit there staring at your screen! Between mailing 5,000 people every other day at ListDotCom and stuffing each offer with AT LEAST 1 tempting direct sale item and 1 free membership giveaway as per above, you should soon be styling with a bulging mailing list in JUST enough time to be ready for those 24 million people next year!!! :-)

Now get crackin!

Sam

PS. As mentioned at the top of this post, if you either join LDC under me as a Diamond Member, OR obtain either license above, I will GIVE you FREE UNLIMITED AUTORESPONDERS that DO NOT REQUIRE YOU TO RECONFIRM YOUR LEADS.

PPS. Ah, I forgot, this you'll appreciate...the Ultimate License comes with SIXTY THOUSAND LEADS. And MAN those "no reconfirmation required" unlimited Free autoresponders are going to come in SUPER handy, huh? ;-)

It's really simple. You're cruising this blog for the simple fact that either your fascinated with it and have nothing better to do, or, you're desperately seeking to increase your income enough to escape the rat race hellhole some people mistakenly accept as "ordinary life."

Well, you've come to the right place, so bookmark it now.

Two nights ago, my webhost was hit by a Denial of Service attack. My ad trackers were all down, and so were my lead capture pages. The tremendous traffic that I'd worked so hard to generate could not get through. If you are one who hasn't had much, if any, traffic to your website(s) yet, let me explain how I felt through a saying I once heard in history class:

"You don't know what freedom is until you've had it, then have it taken away."

Well, you don't know what loads of traffic leading to list building and sales are until you've first experienced it, and then had it taken away. Fortunately, it was only for an evening, and it wasn't ALL of my sites (as I've like 3 webhosts) but it was most of them - enough that it mattered.

And it cost me, I'd guess, about 50 leads and around $100-$200 in sales.

Now that might not seem like a lot to some, and like a fortune to others, but when you have a formula where the goal to financial freedom is to make at MINIMUM one $87 sale per day, then it matters because one $87 sale per day adds up to $2,697/mo. Whereas the gurus would have you chasing 5 and 6 figure paychecks every month, the wise man knoweth that all one need do is cover his or her monthly expenses, and then some, to experience that highly sought after "peace of mind."

Once you have the one $87 sale per day down, you can then focus on increasing it, but the goal has to be FINANCIAL FREEDOM, and not DESIRING bigger, outrageous sums of cash which is no freedom at all.

So, with my one $87 sale per day formula lightly explained, what was I going to do now that my sites were down? I mean, even my blog is full of ad trackers and my ad trackers weren't working, so now what?

LISTDOTCOM TO THE RESCUEEEEE!

I told my loyal list members just 2 days prior that I use ListDotCom to make an extra $50-$200 EVERY...OTHER....DAY. That's on top of website and list sales! Because we're so conditioned to believe making money is supposed to be HARD, we just don't see the forest for the trees or, as Earl Nightengale used to say, the "Acres of Diamonds." And ListDotCom is one of the biggest, no-brainer money making secrets I've ever been privy to.

So when my webhost basically came to a grinding halt, I remembered that I had ListDotCom to achieve my simple goal of AT LEAST one $87 sale per day.

"SO HOW EXACTLY DID YOU IT, SAM?"

As simple as pie, honest. Coming from a long history in a wildly successful family business, I knew that the only way to make money is to spend money. That's it. That's an immutable law of making money - you have to spend it to make it. Of course, you have to spend it wisely, but how can you spend it wisely when you're conditioned to chase 5 and 6 figure paychecks rather than one $87 sale per day?

Since Day 1, I have done virtually nothing more than tell everyone very candidly what I do to make mony on the web. Is it always glamorous? No. Is it always flashy!? No. Is it always like the gurus?! No! But does it help me make AT LEAST ONE $87 SALE PER DAY?!

YES! YES! and YES!!

You bet it does! So what in Heaven's name is stopping you from hearing? What is preventing you from making the one $X sale each day that will help you experience that peace of mind? You have 24 hours to make it, and you can take bathroom and snack breaks whenever you want. And there's no one lording over you and blaming you for their mistakes. So where is your minimum of one $(your amount) sale per day? Is there some kind of shortage of people on the web that I don't know about? Did a spaceship take a whole bunch of humans to Mars?

Where is your one sale per day?

ALRIGHT, are you ready to listen? Are you ready to start making your one sale per day? Or, if you prefer, you can continue chasing that big pay day promised to you by any of the big MLMs pushing VOIP or Luxury Condos in the Swiss Alps, or whatever you like, it's your life. But if you want to speed things up a bit and start down that path towards your "AT LEAST one sale per day" life, then listen closely...please, for you... not for me because I am already doing it - I am already free.

HERE IS WHAT I'VE DONE TO ALMOST GUARANTEE $50-$200 EVERY OTHER DAY TO REACH MY "AT LEAST ONE $87 SALE PER DAY" GOAL.

I upgraded at Mike Filsaime's ListDotCom and have never looked back. It has allowed me to email 5,000 random people every other day! Now, I don't know if maybe you have an issue with Mike Filsaime, or if you are envious of him, or don't like his ad copy, or don't care for the fact that he has worked alongside Mark Joyner, but if you want to keep hanging on to that grudge, just know that it's costing you $50-$200 or more, every other day.

That's a costly grudge to be holding.

If that's you, do you think you want to maybe let go of it right about now, or would you prefer to wait until the IRS comes and takes away another couple of pieces of furniture? :-) It's up to you, but what's the worst that's going to happen? Let's take a look at what will happen after you upgrade at Mike Filsaime's ListDotCom

• You end up on his mailing list (big deal, that's part of the game)
• You pay a one-time UPGRADE fee (which is WAY more than reasonable for the opportunity), and then,
• You have the rest of your life to mail 5,000 people EVERY OTHER DAY in order to make back your investment and more. Hello? Anybody home?

Make sure you read that correctly: You can email 5,000 people EVERY OTHER DAY for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!

"Yeah but, how do I know all 5,000 people are receiving my email?!"

You want the truth? You'll always get it here...YOU DON'T KNOW! You have NO WAY of knowing if 5,000 people are REALLY getting your email, or if spam filters are devouring 50% of it. But here's what I DO KNOW....

Pursuant to my goal of having financial peace of mind by making "at least one $87 sale per day" I am only concerned with reaching at least 2-4 buyers from that group of 5,000. So do I want to deny myself that extra $50-$200 (sometimes $400-$800) just because I have no scientific way of measuring whether or not ALL 5,000 of my emails are getting through? Should I give back all the money I've made and tell Mike I want a refund of my original upgrade investment?

I DON'T THINK SO..!

You know how it is...you can burn right outta here and head back to your inbox to face down those 50 or 100 other swell offers from people less capable than you, trying to tell you that Book A or Book B, or stuff that's just going to enhance your dust collection, is somehow the next best thing since the Garden Weasel, or....OR....you could make a reasonable one-time payment to someone who already has all the ducks lined up for you and start mailing FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE EVERY OTHER DAY!

Think about it...

Spammy Inbox...? or 5,000 people?
Spammy Inbox...? or 5,000 people?
Spammy Inbox...? or 5,000 people.
Spammy Inbox...? or ListDotCom

I'm only telling you what I do, and what those I know do, and what, as a matter of fact, a LOT of people do that WORKS, starting NOW, not tomorrow, or next week or next year...NOW!

Sincerely wishing you great success,
Sam Freedom
PS. Mark my words. The moment I post this, I am heading over to ListDotCom and making AT LEAST another $50-$200 EASILY. Go check it out for yourself right here:

Congratulations! Apparently You Have a Brain! - "The Rich Jerk vs. RoboRiches". Which One Is Right For You?

	VS.
RoboRiches Robot		The Rich Jerk

Ok, the gloves are off! RoboRiches, by Bob Williams and Brian Garvin just hit the streets hot off the presses. Being in the loop, and one of the first to know, I looked it over and blasted out to my loyal list members immediately so they could get the jump on the crowds while their heads weren't yet full of distortions or distractions from the swarm of copy/paste ads that would soon find their way to my list members inboxes.

(Join Free Downloads Monthly Newsletter Here)

A number of people wrote to me shortly thereafter with some version of the following question:

"Sam, which one should I get?
The Rich Jerk or RoboRiches?

Understandable, since each makes some really big claims:

THE RICH JERK:

ROBO RICHES:

Tough choice, huh? Either $25k/mo. or $100k/mo. seems like a no-brainer, right?

THINK AGAIN...!

The Rich Jerk:

Offers strategies. To its credit, these are some of the finest strategies without which most successful marketers would not be where they are today. Even with all his experience, Willie Crawford wrote that he had learned a nugget or two that made getting it worthwhile (and that was at twice it's current price!)

RoboRiches:

Offers an in-depth, detailed SYSTEM with ongoing notifications from Brian Garvin and Bob Williams, two of the most successful marketers today. Besides, Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" says if you want to break free of the rat race, you NEED a system!

And this is directly from the RoboRiches sales page:

"The only requirements are that you need to follow exactly what we've done and you will never have to worry about Money again.

If we tell you to Turn Left.. just do it OK."

So, The Rich Jerk gives you a steamship full of truly secret, proven, money-generating strategies that all successful marketers know and use; while Robo Riches gives you a SYSTEM and tells you what to do - direct from the wisdom of two PROVEN successful marketers.

So Then Which One Should YOU Get?

That depends on two things:

1) Your current setup; and,
2) Your current financial situation.

For a limited time only, The Rich Jerk is on sale for HALF PRICE!

That makes it a "MUST...GET...NOW" for anyone's educational library. But if you absolutely had to make a choice, then here's how I would make the determination as to which one wins my hard-earned money:

If you are already in motion, setup on the web, either taking orders or getting ready to take orders, you have your own little system and your own product and/or business, then
THE RICH JERK is for you. It will show you powerful STRATEGIES as to how to make your current, and all such future endeavors SIGNIFICANTLY more profitable.

However, if you fashion yourself to be a pretty fast learner and are desirous and confident enough that "...if only someone would lay it out clearly and show me exactly what to do, I would do it." then ROBORICHES is for you.

And in case you're wondering, "Sam, do you actually buy or look over these things before you recommend them?" Well, you be the judge...

From inside The Rich Jerk...

From Inside Robo Riches...

See, Proof of Purchase AND a brain! Woohoo! I have a brain!

Warmly Wishing you great SUCCESS,
Sam Freedom
PS. When it comes to "RoboRiches vs. The Rich Jerk", one thing is abundantly clear: both are must-have resources for your ongoing education but AT LEAST one of them belongs in your possession RIGHT NOW. All that's left is for you to remember what I wrote above and decide.

Check Out RoboRiches:

===============================
1. Hey Look What I Found! - Security Issue
===============================

I'm not going into detail on this, but I'm just going to say
as loudly as I can without using capital letters, if you
have any kind of websites at all, make sure you have an
index.htm file in EVERY directory folder. That's ALL
I'm going to say on that matter.

Whether it's the news, or just a guy loving attention,
some people go into details about "dangerous things"
just because "its the truth" or "its just the facts" and that's
true, it's often just the facts. But I believe one also has
a responsibility in presenting those facts and must take
into account the possibility of tempting people into bad
behaviours.

So I am agreeing that I AM MY BROTHERS KEEPER,
and without tempting anyone, I'll just say, one more time:

Make sure all of your directory folders have an index.htm
file in them. In fact, make it juicy advertising or just blank
white if you want, but make sure there's one in there,
otherwise, you've got a gaping hole in your business.

Nuff said...
==================================
2. Ad Tracking 202 - Rethink the Link
==================================

Proper Ad Tracking Links are the most underestimated
"link" in the chain. Which do you gravitate towards?

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator
http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?16644

After struggling so hard to get links viewed and
clicked on, why do people present an ugly link that
has "Amateur" written all over it?

Since this is one area that people will ALWAYS
underestimate, the one who doesn't, clearly has
the edge. And I won't take up any more space
talking about it because I blogged about it sufficiently
at the link below:

http://controversialmarketing.blogspot.com/2005/10/ad-tracking-202-what-do-these-5-links.html

Btw, for any of you wiseguys out there, ;-) blog links are
not ugly. They are not tracking links; they don't spell
"affiliate commission"; and they contain information AND
pique the curiousity of avid bloggers. So there...!

==========================================
3. Mini-Sites Made Easy Doubled Expectations
==========================================

Wow! This is the find of the century. As you may know
by now, I want myself and others to be proud of what
I do online, so my thoughts first go to whether or not
something can REALLY be of use to the everday guy and
gal.

Well, here's one that OVER-delivers:
Daniel Kelly's Mini Sites Made Easy video series
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/mini-sites-made-easy

I wrote about it just a few days ago, and was surprised
with DOUBLE the response most offers receive. It went
through the roof, and mainly because Dan's product is
so USEFUL and so well done, that he confidently gives
visitors a whole TWO WEEKS to review ALL ..not some,
but ALL, of his materials for just ONE DOLLAR..yeah,
you heard me right....all 28 videos (plus the bonuses)
can be reviewed for two weeks for only $1.

Now I know a LOT about web marketing, a LOT...I'm
like a sponge, and yet i still learned from his video course,
so if I had THREE thumbs, I'd give it three thumbs up.
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/mini-sites-made-easy

(if you pick this up and stay with it, I'll see to it that
you are furnished with a free web hosting account.
Just email me with your receipt 2 weeks after signup..

==================================
4. Giving Away Memberships, plus some
==================================

Here's just ONE of the many ways I gain new
subscribers....

I go to a forum, any forum will do, and I find posts
that I can help with. It's important that the post
really be of help because marketers tend to
frown upon junk posts meant only to get exposure.
(or at least ask a darn good question!)

Most forums allow you a signature file with about
5 lines to advertise whatever you want, and some
forums allow an image link (most dont, though).

So I use a picture like this:
http://www.sam-freedom.com/images/freemembership.gif
and a link like this:
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/This-Free-Membership
(go ahead, see where it "leads", no pun intended)

And you can do either that, or some other creative
way of adding to your subscriber base. That one is
just so simple that it blows me away more people
haven't discovered it yet...actually, it doesn't surprise
me, when I think about it. I discover all the backroads
under-the-reader techniques that the gurus will never
tell you about, so it makes sense now.

If you want to go to seminars every 3 weeks and sip
tea and smoke cigars then just ignore this section,
but if you want to start fattening up your list, then take
a close look at what you're about to see:
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/You-Fatten-Your-List

===========================================
5. Guru-itis: What's Mark Joyner up to now?
===========================================

Ok, everyone is allowed one rant, and this won't
even be a rant, but it doesn't take 75 minutes to
explain viral marketing to people. But, as always,
a lesson can be learned from anything...

The lesson here is...that most people don't know that!

So they can't wait to hear the lastest on Viral Marketing
and they spend 75 minutes listening to someone drag
out a concept that can be clearly explained and illustrated
in less than half the time. So props to MJ for taking
advantage of the gullible and naive and framing it in
the context of "marketing" or "people thirsting for knowledge."

If you're one of his cheerleading zombies, please tell
him Sam said hello when you report back to him on
what I just wrote. Thanks!

==============================
6. Hooray for Medical Billing!
==============================

Like a rainbow, I'm not sure how long this pretty
little thing will last but SOMEHOW on my main
lead capture portal, Google Adsense has served
up 2 ads for "medical billing."

Now I'm going to show it to you, but whatever you
do, don't click on them. It's against Google TOS for
me to tell you TO click on them, but there's nothing
in Google's TOS that says I can't tell you to NOT
click on them, so please DON'T click on them.

Doing so would only increase my coffers and
it might cause the pretty little thing to go away
and I kinda like it there. So please DON'T click
on those juicy, huge mo/ney, $3+/click medical
billing ads, please, ok? Thanks!

http://www.sam-freedom.com/brand.htm

Just look at them, like me, and scratch your head
in wonder. ;-)

========================================
7. PROJECT SAM - It's Not Too Late to Turn Back
========================================

I am passionate about internet marketing. I find it
exhilirating, but there are times when I could just
pull my hair out, or put my monitor through the window.
So I'm gonna do something no other marketer I've
ever seen has done before...PROJECT SAM.

I'm going to start a blog that lays it pretty bare.
No technical mumbo jumbo, 8,000 words thrown
in your face hoping to get Adsense commission...
no, I'm going to blog straight
forward about what a pleasure and what a
nightmare marketing can be.

Usually, you get a LITTLE insight into what
others are doing. Or it gets packaged into
a fluffy book and presented with impersonal
ad copy. But I'm not going to give you any
of that. I'm going to just lay it bare and tell
you what I'm going through as I create my
campaigns.

And I'll leave up to guys like Marlon Sanders
to try to package it up and sell it to you:
http://url123.com/wvpcu
(oops, was that an ugly link?)
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator

So stay tuned for Project Sam, I have the graphics
designer working on the template now. Who knows,
I might even put up "The Sam Cam"...shhhhh!

Wishing you the best,
Sam

Ad Tracking 202 - What Do These 5 Links Have In Common?

Greetings Fellow Entrepeneur,

Without clicking any of them just yet, take a moment or two and see if you can tell what the following links have in common:

http://eztrackpro.com/trackbiz/control/redirect.php?d=461
http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?16644
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator
http://url123.com/zwhmp
http://a-great-idea.biz/x/go.php?c=plg

At a glance, you might say it's the "http://" at the beginning and technically you'd be right. But non-technically, from the viewpoint of a marketer who needs to pay the bills each month, there is nothing obviously connecting them.

Now go ahead and click on a couple of them and, suddenly, it becomes obvious - they all point to the same opportunity, "Powerlink Generator" by Mike Filsaime. If you're an experienced marketer, you might have even guessed that they were all tracking links. But how could you? Because you recognize the ugly links by now. You're familiar with them because you've seen them being used all over the place.

So they must be good, right? I mean, if they're being used all over the place, how could they possibly be bad for your online health? Besides, aren't many links stuffed behind link text?

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator

Well, there's much more to this than meets the eye, so let me tell you why I chose to write about LINK TRACKING POWERFULLY. Plain and simple, there is so much taken for granted about it and most people, unfortunately, are none the wiser. First of all, if you're NOT tracking your campaigns, you are WAY, WAY out of the loop. Link Tracking is just a fact-of-life for successful marketers. You have to know, with a fair degree of certainty whether the places in which you are advertising are worth your time and energy. And sometimes you discover a hidden gem, like a signature line in a certain forum, for instance, might get you more clickthroughs and sales than a $99 advertisement in a 20,000 member ezine.

[If you are an "advanced" marketer and think you know all of this, read on, you might be surprised...]

Without TRACKING, you are blind to the results of your efforts, and are almost certainly losing time, energy and, therefore, money. And the bill collectors don't care that it's because you're not tracking your campaigns. So then listen closely because I am really here to help, and I do, and I track my campaigns.

So then what's all the fuss about tracking links?

Let's be honest, here. If you were to read over the following links and could pick only one, which would it be?

http://eztrackpro.com/trackbiz/control/redirect.php?d=461
http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?16644
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator
http://url123.com/zwhmp
http://a-great-idea.biz/x/go.php?c=plg

Most people who've answered this question for me pick one of the following:

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator
http://a-great-idea.biz/x/go.php?c=plg

But mostly the first one made by Mike Filsaime's Powerlink Generator. And why is that? Because...

#1 It speaks to your mind in a familiar language.

It's an actual full sentence.

#2 It means something to you instantly.

You can wrap your head around it without any tiresome brainwork. AFTER the fact, you can theoretically argue anything, but knowing how the brain works, it always gravitates towards what takes the least effort to digest.

#3 It identifies and promotes the link owner and his or her site,

(rather than the site of any free link tracking services with the ugly non-meaningful links).

The more people see your Powerlink, the more they say, "Hey, who is that person?" Think not? You would be surprised. Coca-Cola knows that, in a market full of colas, having their name in as many places as possible is just as important, if not more so, than having a good cola. In fact, Pepsi usually wins the taste tests rather decisively.

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator

A few people chose the 2nd link:
http://a-great-idea.biz/x/go.php?c=plg
because it, TOO, had a catchy phrase in the domain, but even to get that result (still with an ugly ending) was not free. PLUS I had to have it installed by a professional (I don't do installs!). Mike Filsaime's Powerlink Generator installation is PARTIALLY AUTOMATED and gave me the final steps by VIDEO which made installing it a CINCH! I literally had it up and running in under 5 minutes.


http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/Powerlink-Generator

So Here's the Million Dollar Question....

WHY..., do you put so much time and energy and cash into things like list building and traffic generation only to try to close the deal with a stinky, ugly link? SOMETIMES you can stuff the link into HTML but you know that's not always convenient or possible. Don't your hard efforts at traffic generation and list building and forum posting deserve the click? Why, at that last crucial moment of getting people to go where you want them to, do you limp in with a link that looks like it was created in the dead language of Sanskrit?

AND WHY..., with all the desire to get people to your affiliate programs, or your own sites, do you let all your efforts go into promoting SOMEONE ELSE'S site that generates free ugly links when you could be getting all that pagerank and backlink credit from the search engines for yourself?

AND WHY, ALSO..., do you put all of that effort into promoting someone ELSE'S name when you could instead be identifying yourself as an authority or some kind of expert in your field? You work SO HARD for everything online, why let such an important part of it all slip away?

This is a perfect example of what seperates the successful from the unsuccessful - the successful take such details as these very seriously. Otherwise, no pun intended, these details become "the weak link" in your sales process. You somehow get to thinking,

"Oh, it won't matter. As long as I get people to read what I write, I can pretty much toss any link at them and it won't matter what it looks like...if they're hungry enough, they'll go."

So Then Please Tell Me...

If you're an expert fashion designer, and you're wearing rags to parties where no one knows you, do you think they can tell from across the room that you're a fashion expert? Do you think even if you are introduced as a fashion expert that they'll take you seriously? EVENTUALLY MAYBE...but the point is that it will take a LOT MORE CONVINCING if you are wearing rags.

And it will take you a lot more to convince people that you are qualified to make recommendations if you are using ugly links from free services or an affiliate back office.

A lot of people now realize that I know what I'm talking about (most of the time!), so I might be able to get away with some ugly links...but knowing what I know, I am now going to be using Powerlink Generator almost every chance I get. It's nice to have a good reputation, but there's no need to lean on it all the time - especially with something like Powerlink Generator to present the professional appearance that increases good reputation instantly and therefore increases your clickthrough rate.

And you know what else? I didn't even get around to telling you how Mike Filsaime's "Powerlink Generator" also allows you to store your affiliate login page, username and password so you don't have to run all over the place looking for the back office login info for the affiliate programs you're tracking.

Bottom line is...., that it not only doesn't pay, but can cost you significantly, to understimate the significance and importance of both tracking the results of your efforts, AND presenting prospects with a link that promotes you as a professional and an authority in your chosen field.

Now with that being said....

Here's to your success, my friend!

20 Dollar Bill Brings $840 During Ebay Auction

This is a TRUE story from an expert marketer far outside the perimeter of the celebrity guru circle.

It is a fascinating lesson in understanding human behaviour and how $20 really can bring in $840 from an Ebay auction. After reading this in it's entirety, I am certain you will see the potential of using Ebay in a much different light.

Thus begins the story of Master Marketer, Terry Gibbs:

"20 Dollar Bill Brings $840 During Ebay Auction.
Last week I showed you an eBay auction as an example of the pricing power of eBay.
During the auction, I got emails from subscribers and eBay searchers asking me questions. In this email I'll answer a few of the questions, and you can read along in order to learn some important lessons.

If you were watching the auction you already know the bill sold for $32.05. The headline says I made $840. I'll show you where this extra m0ney came from.

It might surprise you.

To recap, I listed a 1950 20 dollar bill on eBay with a starting price of 1 cent and no reserve.
My intention was to prove in a dramatic way that as long as an item is listed in the best category with an adequate description and picture it will sell for at least wholesale value.

The reason for getting at least wholesale value is dealers will bid any antique or collectible up to it's wholesale value. Ifyou get a few end users to bid on the auction, you'll get the retail price.
The only time this won't be true is when demand is less than supply. For items where demand meets or exceeds supply, you will always get at least the wholesale value.

I thought the twenty dollar was a great example because it had a face value. Remember, I got the bill at the bank when I was cashing a check. Basically, I paid 20 dollars for it.

The first question I got was from a subscriber who wanted to know if I had people bidding on the auction for me.

Shame on you for even thinking that. I didn't have anyone bid on the auction - this is called shill bidding and violateseBay's rules.

Another question I got was more of a statement:

"You've got to be kidding, someone will really pay 23 or 24dollars for a 20 dollar bill? Whoa!"
I actually got quite a few of these type of questions.

Remember this is a 55 year old bill. While it's worth 20 dollars as currency, it also has collector value. I got an email from a dealer who saw the bill on eBay and here's what he had to say:
"We have a bill like this one in our shop... The bill is worth approx. $30.00 on today's market. The reason? You notice the back does not have In God We Trust. That was not put on our paper money until 1957. If you spend the bill in a store today, it will end up back at the reserve bank and then it will go to the incinerator to be burned. Keeping it in good condition will only cause the value to increase. I just thought I would share the info with you. Have a great day and good luck with your auction."

This dealer say's the bill is worth about $30. The auction ended at $32.05 which is within ten percent of his guess.

Here are two questions that bear some scrutiny:

"I notice this auction has had over 2900 page views, how did you get so many people to look at your auction?"

And -

"I have to ask...and you can answer if you like. How did you get enough watchers on this auction to make eBay Pulse? The auction is fascinatingly simple."

I got over a dozen similar questions. Some referred to the pulse,most referred to the number of visit0rs.

Before I address these questions, let me explain what the pulse is for those of you who are unfamiliar with it.

The eBay Pulse is a page that lists the most watched eBay items. It also contains information about the most popular searches and the largest stores. I haven't mentioned the Pulse in the past because it has verylittle value. It's good for entertainment, but doesn't provide much information for the average eBay seller. The Pulse does have a use, and I'll explain that in a minute.

Now, I looked at the auctions of everyone who asked about traff1c and/or the pulse. They were all small sellers with low feedback selling new items. Actually, they were listing new items with few items getting bids.

These sellers were looking for traff1c because they think it will solve their problem. By itself it won't.

Someone who needs some new socks will go to Wal-Mart, not oneBay.
Remember, the point of the example was to demonstrate that items will sell for at least wholesale value AS LONG AS THE DEMAND MATCHES OR EXCEEDS THE SUPPLY. The demand for socks and batteries is much less than the supply.

I have one more question to share with you and then I'll tie this all together and show you the m0ney.

This question is from a reader, not an auction viewer:

"I couldn't help but notice the graphic for the buyers guide right on the auction page.. That's kind of pushing it with eBay isn't it? I know the link only went to your Me page and you linked out to the AR page from there."

This reader has been paying attention.

He has an idea of where the extra 830 dollars came from.

To answer his question, this does not violate eBay's rules. I have been doing this in my auctions for years. Additionally, I have taught thousands of people to do this in their auctions.Neither I nor my students have ever had a problem with eBay for giving away free reports on the me page and telling people about them in the auctions. Yet, I constantly get questions about eBay's rules.

Actually, I think people who misinterpret the rules are looking for reasons not to do something.
Rather than go into a rant, I am going to skip the whole rules question and go back to explaining where the m0ney came from.

As the question above mentioned the image of the eBay buyer'sguide linked to my me page. The me page has two links. One directly to the Auction Revolution and one to my IWantCollectibles site. This is where the extra money came from. I sell my ebooks andoffer other items as an affiliate on my websites.

While this auction was designed to prove a point about pricing, I did spend the extra few minutes to set up a me page and put links to my websites on the page. None of the people who asked about traff1c have me pages that link to websites. They suffer from the idea that the only way to make money on eBay is by listing and selling items.

They are caught in the volume trap.

Think about it. I made $11.00 directly in the $20 bill auction. I ma.de over $800 additional dollars as a result of my me page.

Even better the extra pr0fits were robotic. Once I set the system up I don't have to do anything except cash the checks from the affi1iate programs.

I said earlier there is a use for the Pulse. A lot of the people who look at the pulse auctions are eBay sellers looking for ways to improve their pr0fititablity. I teach eBay skills, so being listed on the pulse drives qualified people into my me page. This is why the number is so high. Usually the results are much less.

Now for some information you can use in your auctions.

If you don't already have a me page set up, you set one up.You can give away the eBay Buyer's Guide in your auctions until you can come up with your own report. You can personalize the guide on the Auction-Revolution.com website, and will get commissions from all sales resulting from yougiving away the personalized guide.

Secondly you need to start thinking about additional items you can promote related to the items you already sell.

The Auction Revolution contains complete instructions for leveraging your auction results.
