My View On The FTC - A must listen podcast - With GASP - nothing to sell! #30dc

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

We have been getting a lot of questions about the new FTC changes in the USA.

I recorded this podcast the moment the new regs were published and gave it out to Thirty Day Challenge Plus Members.
I’m now giving it to everybody because I cannot believe on one end of the spectrum - The FTC is really cool and at the other end of the spectrum they are the fount of all evil.
Both views are extreme - and the irony of people attempting to make moeny off these new programs is not lost on me…
So - here is my OPINION, yes, I discussed this with my US advisors - but it’s an opinion.
I’m not a lawyer, I have not played one on TV (Boom Boom)
In my opinion the only people you should be giving money to on this issue is a US based lawyer who specialises in FTC complience.
Let me be clear, I think the new Regs are AWESOME and badly needed. Even though I’m based out of the USA - I fully intend on complying (My kids love Disneyland!!)
I hope you take the time to listen to this, remember, nothing to buy, just my opinion.

Here is the link to get it…

Achtung Baby!

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Due to a freak set of circumstances and the successful 30dc inc offer I am going to be in Frankfurt on Monday!

It’s a flying trip and it will be straight back to London Tuesday Morning.
Given that it’s been nine years since I have been to Frankfurt - I thought it would be a great excuse for a meet-up!
I’m aiming for around 7.30pm on the 23rd and I’m thinking dinner depending on numbers.
The venue is to be advised, but it will be somewhere in the centre by the river.
If you can come please RSVP here so I can get an idea of numbers.
Over to you!!

Get Your Wordpress Lightsqueeze Plugin

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

On the Thirty Day Challenge we’re all about showing you the steps you need to take to test a niche for viability and try to make your first $1 online, and we use a load of cool tools to help you along the way to get ranked and start to get traffic to test for sales.

Well, for a few months we’ve been using a cracking WordPress plugin (OK, I developed it so I’m somewhat biased :) ) inside of the Immediate Edge which has seen our opt-ins and our affiliate product sales increase five fold and I’ve decided to give it away to you guys for free.

The plugin is a LightSqueeze overlay which performs a little like a pop-up, where your affiliate / product offer is shown after a short delay to the people landing on your website.

Now, Google hates pop-ups, but don’t worry because this script is (in nerdy coding terms) an overlay so Google doesn’t see it as a pop-up and doesn’t penalize you for using it.

The great thing about this plugin is that it’s incredibly easy to set up, it can be fully customized for size so you can tweak the overlay window to fit your offers nicely, you can vary the time before the LightSqueeze pops up, and you can set a cookie so that you can regulate the amount of times a visitor sees the offer.

To show you an example of how it works click on this link and you’ll see the LightSqueeze overlay appear after a few short moments:

Don’t underestimate the power of this simple plugin, it could be the difference in converting your visitors from tyre-kickers into customers making a purchase.

This plugin is just one of the cutting edge tools from the Immediate Edge, and we’re looking at selling this shortly for $47, but for a limited time you can get it as a special bonus for free, nada, zilch.

Take A Peak Inside The Edge

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Hi Gang,

edge1As you know Ed and I run The Immediate Edge which is our premium training site. The Edge focusses on the latest cutting edge marketing tactics and techniques, the stuff that other Internet Marketing guru’s will be teaching in a years time.

Now before you read any further I just want to point out that The Edge is not for everybody. If you have just started the Thirty Day Challenge then you should stop reading right now.

Our goal with the challenge is to get you to the point where you are making your first dollar online.
edge2The Edge however will show you how to take that dollar and totally sky rocket your Internet Marketing business, but you must have made that dollar first…

Seriously. You really need to get the skills that we teach on The Thirty Day Challenge before you go on to the more advanced training on The Edge.

That being said, if you have made that dollar then I have the perfect way for you to spend it…

For a limited time you can get access to the entire Immediate Edge content for only $1. That’s right, we are giving you total access to the entire members area for a full 14 days for just one measly dollar…

Click Here For Your $1 Trial

Now I don’t want you going in here blindfolded so I have put together a bit of a guide which shows you some of the highlights and outlines some of the content you should definitely take a look at when you get inside, you can download this below:

Download The Edge Insiders Guide

Here are a couple of highlights from the guide:

In Newsletter 9 (which was a 2 part edition) I cover an Immediate Edge success story where I show you exactly how I helped an Edge member make a few simple changes to his businesses that added up to over $69,000 in increased revenue. This newsletter also looks at another Edge member who started her marketing business from simple PLR content. Both of these can be implemented by you today.

Finding a niche can be one of those real big stumbling blocks, so in Newsletter 11 I lay out an entire blueprint for setting up a business in a weekend (or less) including a 24 hour action plan.

Discover the secret world of CPV networks (which is Cost Per View) where you can buy advertising for cents on the dollar, generate massive amounts of traffic to your site, all without being subject to Google having a bad hair day.

Getting to the number one spot is the name of the game, but in Newsletter 12 we take it one step further and show you a simple and easy technique which shows you how to completely dominate the whole of the top 10 positions. Imagine knowing that no matter what link the customer clicks on in the top 10 they will land onto your site.

Having a product to sell is one thing, but getting paid over-and-over again month-after- month is really good for your bank balance. In Newsletter 18 we show you all you need to know to create the ultimate business - getting paid every month over-and-over again, and we also show you a super simple way to make $60,000 per year.

As you know Ed and I only open up The Edge a couple of times a year and there are limited places available so make sure you download the guide and take a look at some of the amazing content inside The Edge.

Once all spots are taken we will close this offer, stop taking any new members, and will put up a waiting list on a first come, first served basis so don’t delay, reserve your spot now.
