Internet Events, Facebook Advertising, Internet Marketing and SEO

As a lot of you may know, I have been doing some link building for my sites and some others lately.

I only do it totally white hat.

I figured there must be a lot of great companies that could help.

One that I always recomend for helping with this type of work, who do excellent work and do it white hat is IMN, the company of Jim Boykin we all know as We Build Pages.

I want the links to be as diverse as possible, so at Pubcon this year I was talking to other companies as well.

Overall I was extremely disappointed, and realized what Jim does and what I do is some of the best work around, and is totally white hat.

One company sounded really interesting.

I asked them to send me some url’s of sites they get links from.

They are nice guys, and I still might use their company, so I am not going to out them, but what happened next was totally hilarious.

They said, “well we don’t usually give out the url’s of the sites the links come from, but in this case we will give you an example”. They then gave me a link to this site.

I entered the url, and this is what I found. Not a very good promotion for quality links. ROFL.

On my way to BlogWorld Expo in LA.  Last time I went I was a little bummed that I felt like more of the people I met were non-bloggers than bloggers.  With the advent of Twitter & Facebook I’ve noticed that many of my favorite bloggers, people like The Mad Hat have totally stopped blogging. In fact, I blog a lot less frequently than I used to.  I love Facebook and all but occasionally it is nice to write something that takes more than two sentences and I can have conttrol over the links, graphics, and formatting.

Lately I’ve been cruising around the blogosphere a lot more lately while working on my newest turbo charged, black velvet, white gloved online semi-combustible money making project.  I’ve noticed bloggers have, for the most part, started monetizing their sites and are using lots of 2007 monetization strategies, i.e: adsense or ad networks, totally missing the long term value of their readers.

It has been about a year since the last BlogWorld so I am going to be curious to see if there are real bloggers there or not.

If happen to be there look for me.  I’ll be rolling through the expo like a 240 lb. rear naked choke pulling surf buddha.

In what is possibly the biggest news to hit the internet in a decade, Avelyn for the first time rode her bike today without training wheels!!!!

And word on the street is, she has stopping down pretty well as well!

After work tonight, deuces and I decided to go surfing. I had heard there was phosphorescence, which is when there is a certain type of algae, that lights up when disturbed. It is very rare, and only happens every year or two. A few years ago, my wife and I had gone to see it in the evening, and watched the waves break with little bits of light, almost a sparkle. It has to be very dark to see it.

Well, tonight it wasn’t as dark. In fact the only reason we could go night surfing is that the La Jolla Shores Hotel has bright lights, which light up the surf enough, that you can go surfing if it is not too big. The down side is that you can not see the wave until is it about 4 feet away. A few times tonight, we were talking and got slammed by a surprise random wave.

We parked my truck, easy to get good parking since it was night!, and walked to the water. It was a lovely night, a little overcast, and fairly cold. With this years Boz wetsuits, (Go Harry!) we were toasty warm.  I kid you not, these are THE BEST wetsuits in the world, and very affordable. This years suit, is this new super amazing Japanese fabric, which literally feels like you are wearing pajamas, and lets in almost no water. I can duck dive, and it feels like a dry suit.

Well Deuces and I were in up to about our stomachs, and I hear her scream, I look down and scream myself! What I see is that as our legs are moving through the water, it looks like someone has a blue flashlight, and is shining all around them under water. Fricking blew my mind. We start splashing, and laughing, and gushing surprise. She jumps on her board and starts paddling.

Every arm stroke made a splash of this dramatic blue color. I have a picture on this blog, that was taken by Ana Phelps on a different night, which actually shows the color when a wave broke. This is not a touched up photo, this is the actual color and brightness. It was just mind blowing. The trail behind Deuces that she left as she paddled, was a dance of blue light.

I spread my fingers and drug them through the water, and behind each finger was a train of blue light, as if I was finger painting with light.

It was so extreme that I commented that no one was going to believe us, and that if you saw the same thing in a movie, you would think it was bad special effects since it was so extreme. In all the decades I have gone in the ocean I have never seen anything like it.

It was one of the most lovely things I have ever seen in nature in my entire life. Just breathtaking, and I am sure a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Thanks Deuces 😉

So today I was going to stop by Mike Koenigs (huge name in info marketing) and Vivian Glyck’s house to sign an agreement.

I just am getting to know Mike, and I had never met Vivian, but have been trying to promote her charity.

I arrive at their house, in a very lovely suburban neighborhood of San Diego, not far from my house.

I pull up with that, “want to make a great first impression” kind of feeling. I even made sure I had on a fairly new t-shirt,

shaved, brushed teeth, all that fancy stuff.

Vivian thought I was going to drop a document in her mailbox, and I thought that she had left it for me waiting in the mailbox to sign.

So I arrive at the house, grab an envelope out of the mailbox, and head back to my car to get a pen, tearing the envelope open as I walk.

Just as I have ripped open the envelope, Vivan opens the door, and says hello. I turn around, and walk back, holding the contents of the envelope in my hand, and say “hello!”

I then realize, that I am not holding the document I expected, but instead a check for $1800 that is not made out to me. Ooops. Awkward.

I then greet Vivian and say, ha, ha, ha, I just accidentally took this out of your mailbox! ha, ha, ha….ha

Nothing like meeting someone for the first time while stealing checks out of their mailbox.

Great way to make a good first impression.

Of course she was cool with it, and after hitting me with the envelope, we sat and had a good laugh and a two hour talk!

It is really cool hearing the behind the scenes of Mike’s life. He is doing some of the biggest numbers, and possibly THE biggest numbers in info marketing. I loved hearing how he runs his empire, and his plans for the future.

Also, Vivians very excellent group to help Africa is having its fundraiser this Thursday. Should be great.

I sent this out as an email earlier today, 10/4/11 and the spam filters just gobbled it up,

so I am putting it out here and on facebook so peeps can find it.

I just can’t recomend this guys stuff highly enough.

I aint making a dime off of promoting this either, I just want people to hear what Jon is

doing and buy his training if you think it has the value I do.

I started on the training already myself.

Tomorrow will be one of the webinars people will talk about for months.
If you trust me, go register for it. If you don’t read the rest of this email.

A few months ago, the day Andy was closing his Video Boss program (A rock star training by the way), I was at Andy’s house watching from behind the scenes, and besides they had a killer spread of food, plus ocean views. As a professional networker (or netstalker as Dan Ryan likes to call me), I was in heaven.

Andy was live all day, and one by one some of the biggest names in the info marketing world wandered in to give testimonials.

So I know everyone walking in the door is a player, and I should get to meet them. This is where I first met Joe Polish and Filsaime as well.

Then in walks this super buff dude with this super hot girl on his arm, who looks me in the eye and is as confident as I am. I said to myself…hmm….this guy must be somebody.

I asked him his name and he says his name. Doesn’t ring a bell. I asked him if he was here to give a testimonial, and he says no, he is helping Andy with his close.

So my mind is going WTF, helping Any Jenkins with his close? I consider Andy to be one of the absolute best marketers in the world, hands down. To me his first Video Boss promo changed my life forever, just the fricken promo. So if this guy was advising Andy, I wanted to know him.

So Jon and I went upstairs to Andy’s room, and hung out on the couch and talked for some hours. The talk went into the highest protein and fat dinner I’ve ever had at Mortons Steak House, and on and on and on.

Turns out that Jon is possibly the greatest conversion expert in the world. And the boy can close. It turns out that he got involved with Mike Geary and his truth about abs campaign, Jon re-wrote the sales copy, and doubled Mikes conversions. Truth about abs was already the number one selling product on click bank, and DOUBLED the conversion.

Jon currently has two products in the top 10 in clickbank, The Every Other Day Diet, using a Video Sales Letter and selling was recently selling over 2,000 units per day.

He also has this crazy story of a video he did where he talked to Joe Polish, while Joe was onstage, and closed so many people from his video, that there was a line around the room to sign up.

Join us on the webinar tomorrow where we will be talking conversions, sales copy, and bottom line how to get sales, from a guy who the gurus hire to help them.

If for any reason this email was lousy, know that I wrote it and not Jon. LOL

That should be good…

Frank Kern is finally in my database. With the ridiculous success of his Mass Control, List Control, and other products, this guys is a fricken rock star.

The first time I met Frank in person, I immediately thanked him for something he said on a video once that changed me as an internet marketer. It was something to the effect of, There are so many people on the internet, that you can just be absolutely totally yourself, and there will be enough people who will dig you for who you are, that you can become successful, just being who you are.

I already have been who I am, but always almost felt guilty about it, and sometimes tried to create this or that image. When I heard Frank Kern say that, it really changed me and my marketing forever.

Shoemoney, who I have always considered to be the greatest internet marketer ever, told me last year that he thought that Frank Kern was actually the top of the food chain, or some statement like that. Since then I have been applying my networking skills to get to know Frank Kern. It is funny, as I have become friends with many of the guys around him, Amish, Russ, Trey, Jay, etc. I found just nicer and nicer people. This was a huge breath of fresh air, as some of the internet marketing world is just not as nice.

I am getting to work on a little micro mini project with Frank tonight. By the way, Frank has some thing going on right now where is going to be giving away his VB bus, and the thing is rockstar. I am sure on the thintkank promo videos, which I honestly plan to do real soon, really, just give me a few more days! I will tell the story how I got to meet Frank Kern. But bottom line it is the same strategy I always use. Be a friend, be nice, try to help whenever you can, and know when someone is a shizzle nizzle rock star out of the park success dude, that he is going to be a bit busy, and give them plenty of space.

I have already seen Frank do some really, really nice things to help people out, and I get the guy.

Just in case you are wondering, what is he “really” like.

He surfs.

He really cares about people.

He loves making himself and those around him successful.

And Frank Kern surfs :).

Zac Johnson, my rock star buddy wrote the post below about his new book about flipping sites.
Zac is the shizzle on making money online.

Looking back over the past decade, it’s always been a thought in the back of my head to get more involved in web site flipping. There are so many people out there creating web sites and have such great ideas, but they don’t have the marketing mindset to take their site to the next level. The biggest disadvantage of getting involved in site flipping, is the annoying process of having to search out web sites, find the owner’s contact info then start to negotiate on a deal… it’s just a big hassle more than anything else.

Fortunately I wasn’t the only one seeing the need for an eBay type of site, that just focuses on domains and web sites. Then Flippa.com came out and has changed everything. With an extremely easy web site to use and navigate, it’s quickly become the world’s number one market place for selling web properties.

With that said, here are three dead simple reasons why you should be in the site flipping game.

1 – It’s Fast and Easy to Get Started

If you can eBay, then you can buy and sell web sites. I’ve seen web sites sell on Flippa for under $100 and domains are only $10 a piece to register. The entry level cost to get your feet wet is very low. As you start to get a grip on buying web sites, you will learn to fix up and monetize sites, then sell them for higher profits.

2 – Security & Support

One of the biggest problems with trying to buy web sites on your own, is that you don’t have a security blanket, or would need a lawyer to do all your legal work. This in itself would cost you a lot of time and money. Through Flippa, everything is already in place. With a feedback and trust rating system, users know who they are working with and all interaction between the buyer and seller is done through the site. Should there ever be a problem, Flippa has a record of all contacts. When it comes time for payment, Flippa is also setup with Paypal and Escrow payment options. Everything is in line to make each transaction smooth and satisfying for both customers.

3 – Huge Supply of Web Sites for Sale

With over 1,000 active daily listings on Flippa, how could you not find something that interests you? As the Flippa market place continues to grow, more web site owners are listing their properties for sale. Some listings have even been for Mark Zuckerberg’s originally FaceMash.com web site that he worked on while at Harvard! And yes… some site listings on Flippa have even gone on to sell for over $1,000,000!

Become a Web Site Flipping Master

It’s simple and easy to get started. All you need is to create a free account at Flippa and you can get the ball rolling. After that it’s all about finding hidden gems in the hay stack that you can monetize and improve, then build them out or flip later on. Using these same principles and finding, I’ve been able to buy and sell over six figures worth of web sites of the years.

Using my experience and my addiction to spending hours upon hours looking through Flippa for new web sites to buy, I just finished writing my new book, “Flip This Web Site: How to Buy, Improve and Sell Web Sites on Flippa“, a comprehensive 150+ page guide that walks you through the whole process of creating a new web site, finding and buying under monetized web sites and creating a real site flipping business. I’ve also created a video series that walks you through the process. Check it out and let me know what you think.
