Ryan Deiss Continuity Videos... Is He Losing It?

I just finished watching The Continuity Blueprint videos released by Ryan Deiss... and I wonder, has this guy lost his mind to give such secrets to the public? Most people won't buy into his program, it's gonna be way to expensive for an average wallet! But the strategies he reveals in the "Million Dollar Napkin", "Publisher" and "Snowball" videos reveal more then enough for many folks to make handsome money if they follow the business model Ryan is talking about.

Watch these videos, I promise it will be worth your precious time!!

The Million Dollar Napkin "If you can't write your business model on a napkin then you don't have any business!"




Publisher ...did you say you're no good at creating content? After watching this video you'll not be left with one single excuse! This is my favorite video.

The Continuity Snowball Running the numbers... impressive (this is the video which will make you salivate profusss...sorry, need to wipe my keyboard)




The last video called "Details" wraps it all up and explains what exactly is The Continuity Blueprint.

Continuity Blueprint goes live TODAY at 3pm Eastern!

Seemingly, Ryan will be giving some amazing"Fast-Mover Bonuses"
to the first 100, 250 and 500 members who sign up! I've also just heard that Ryan will have a LIVE broadcast at 1 pm Eastern answering Q&A's...

Whoaaa, I wish I wouldn't be so tight now!

$100 Million Dollar Challenge Review

I joined yet another Internet Marketing training program. Russel Brunson's $100 Million Dollar Challenge. This is a free training on how to build your own Million Dollar Business. I know, there are so many free internet marketing trainings these days, think of Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge (which is brilliant btw), Jeff Johnson’s Underground Training Lab, Affilorama from Mark Ling and many others. I joined most of them but never found the time to follow and implement what they were teaching.

But Russel Brunson's $100 Million Dollar Challenge is different...

What's so special about it

The reason why this particular training program caught my attention is that it forces people to go through the training material. You MUST take action in order to unlock the next training phase. Very clever! We all know that NOT taking action is the most common reason of failing to make any money on the internet, and Russell is using natural human curiosity to address this problem.

The Training Program

$100 Million Dollar Challenge training program has 6 phases which will teach you everything from how to develop your own Product, which types of websites you should build and how to build them, and finally you'll learn to implement efficient traffic and lead generation strategies to get your business rolling.


Each phase consists of 4 modules with training videos, quizzes and assignments. You'll need to complete ALL the modules to get an unlock key for the next training phase.

How it all works

1. Russel will do a Live training at least twice a week. Great opportunity to ask him question! I am really looking forward to this.

2. After training, watch the video and take the quiz. If you pass the quiz you'll be given an unlock code for the next set of training. Each phase has 4 quizzes, after completing all quizzes and assignments you'll be able to move to the next phase.

3. Do the Assignment: follow it step by step. After completing the Assignment, take the information and post it to your blog (which will be created for you) to get the unlock key.

4. At the end of each phase you'll have the chance to Compete and win prizes (TV's etc). You can make a video explaining what you learned, what you did, why you did it etc and then post it to the members area. Members will then vote on the best video.

5. Make your first dollar online. You will get an affiliate link that you can promote. You'll get $1 paid to you PayPal account for every person that joins the $100 Million Dollar Challenge through your link.

My Rating: $100 Million Dollar Challenge is REDHOT! Chances of succeeding to build a profitable business are considerably higher then with other programs not only because it's free (no catches), or the first class information included in this training but mainly because you'll be forced to stop procrastinate and TAKE ACTION!

So take action now and join the $100 Million Dollar Challenge. Who knows, you may be the lucky bird who wins the Contest (brand new 2009 GM Corvette) on top of building a profitable business. JOIN NOW!

The Widgeteers Launch Their Viral Advertising Network Today

New Viral Advertising Network The Widgeteers™ after several delays finally opens the door to the public. The actual launch was initially scheduled for Tuesday Sept 2, 2008 but due to server issues had to be delayed for another 2 days

Official launch date is set to Thursday Sept 4, 2008 at 3:00 pm EST.

According to data provided by the founding member of the company Keith Carberry The Widgeteers already have 4000+ members which joined during the pre-launch in August and expect many thousands of new members joining today.

Who Are The Widgeteers

Their motto: "One For All, And All For One" is a principal that lends the power to The Widgeteers and their members.

The Widgeteers is quite a unique group of IM professionals/marketers from all corners of the world (USA, UK, Canada, Mexico, South-east Asia, Germany, Slovakia, Portugal, Spain...) which rather then competing against each other teamed up to work together, joined their talents and expertise to build a powerful viral advertising network that promises to solve website owner's biggest headache: getting targeted traffic with no out of pocket costs. Additionally, the members of the network will also get paid commissions on their referrals in form of ad credits or hard cash.

The Widgets

The widgets display self updating member ads across the thousands of sites in the network. Members simply write their ads, choose a widget template and the category of sites they want their ads displayed on. Then it's just a question of copying and pasting a couple of lines of a code to a blog/website. That's it.

The widgets are viral and self advertising, i.e they offer free advertising to the public. They contain an affiliate code of the member so when someone clicks on the widget and joins the network, the member will automatically get credited with the referral.

It's a simple and powerful system that combines free advertising with multiple streams of income (more traffic/sales, direct sales from ads, commissions).


Crazy Contest

The Widgeteers decided to do something unheard of in the history of Internet Marketing: they will be giving away part ownerships of their business.

Top marketers who make the most referrals will be invited to join The Widgeteers as co-owners of the business and will then earn 100% on commissions on all the referrals. More on this later.

Does Your Site Look Like Gremlins To Google & Co?

Stompernet has released a neat SEO tool: SSS or Stomper Site Seer. This web based thingy will tell you if your site looks like gremlins to Google and others! It's free and web based so nothing to download.

What's even more valuable, it not only tells you whether your site is a blip or a bliss in the eyes of giants but it also tells you how to fix any shortcomings your baby may have.

All you need to do is fill in the site URL, targeted keywords (you don't have to but it's recommended), your email address and hit submit. You can submit 5 sites per day and they don't even have to be your sites so great for spying on your competition. You'll receive an email (it can take over an hour due to heavy demand) with a link where you can pick up your analysis. Analysis involves Google, Yahoo, MSN, Technorati, PRWeb, EZine articles, Alexa, Compete, WayBackMachine, Qu&ntcast... then it goes over to actual SEO analysis and gives you tips on improving your SEO score and tells you what Google thinks your pages and subpages are about, it also analyzes how you do on social bookmarking sites and more.

You can watch the 35 minutes long video which explains how this ninja "Stomper Site Seer" SEO tool works here. They are also spitting out some good tips, really worth watching. I only can say 'wow', this tool is a gem.

I am not a SEO genius but I also wouldn't classify myself as a SEO novice. So out of curiosity I put one of my old (and neglected) sites to test. The results did not stroke my ego, that's for sure... On the positive side, I received a list of things I could do to revive this site. Here are a few snapshots from the report I received:





Nothing to be proud of ...

I haven't done any 'social work' on this site and it shows... (actually I haven't touched it for the past 10 months It used to be PR3... now it's seriously stale).




So go and watch this must have SEO tool video. I'm sure it will give you plenty to think about, even if you are a SEO guerrilla (and hopefully your analysis will be better than this one).

If You Are Doing Adwords You Must Read This!

You already may have got an email from one or another marketer talking about Adwords and Google Slap… with a link to a free report written by Ryan Deiss. I nearly sent that email to the bin, it rains free reports nowadays, who's got the time to read it! But luckily my hand didn't listen to my thoughts and clicked the link without me knowing it….

The headline immediately caught my attention:

"FREE REPORT: "Thought Stringing"
How To “Buy the Thoughts” of Your Customers and Use the Information To Capitalize On Hidden Sources of Traffic..."

As there was no need to sign up I thought I'd just scan it quick to put my mind at rest that it's another piece of BS with some kind upsell…

Well, it wasn't BS! If you are doing Adwords go and read it! I have been always told that Adwords for content was useless… well, seemingly it isn't, that is if you know how to use it correctly, it seems it can be even better than Adwords for search (and lot cheaper too).

Then there was a link to another report (also from Ryan Deiss and no need to give my email) : How "Product Splintering" Can Lower Your AdWords Costs, Increase Your Conversion Rates, and Triple Your Overall Profits.

Finally the third report "Self-Liquidating Offers" - for this one you'll be asked for your email address but once you read the first two, you'll gladly opt in – is the father of the previous two. He is talking here about Google Adwords post "slap", long tail KW (you can be seemingly punished for those!), building your list but differently as you know it, google's quality score and how to get a discount rate, which words to avoid like hell in your ads, how to use (and write) content ads and lots more. 25 pages loaded with stuff that I found extremely useful!

Oh yeah, I'm sure there will be an upsell … but these reports are worth to read and will save you money if you are doing the Adwords already (and if you don't, you may find courage to start with it with these tips).

Single vs Double Optin, Spam Complaints and Online Whitelist Generator

As I was looking at some discussions at the Social Marketing Central, a post from Chris Lang caught my attention: it was about how to get more diggs on Digg. He had some good points there that I'll be testing ...

Then I started to look through his other blog posts and found another article which may be of interest to anybody who is doing email marketing (needless to say you're missing out if you don't) . The article talks about autoresponders, single vs double optins and spam complaints . Worth reading!

There is also a link to a very cool online white-listing generator where you just fill in a couple of data and within seconds it will generate a html page with handy whitelist instructions for various email clients. You can upload this html document to your server and link to this page in your welcoming email. Very useful, thanks Chris!

Note: There is a slight problem with the generated page but it can be easily fixed (and I'm sure Chris will fix that soon): couple of links on the resulting white-listing instruction page, specifically MailWasher, McAfee and SpamPal, which should bring you to the corresponding section of the page don’t work. You can fix this by checking if the id’s in the beginning of the html document (where it says a href=”#Mailwasher”) are identical with id’s used in h3 tags (h3 id=”MailWasher”…) In these 3 cases there is a misspelling (capital versus lower case, e.g. MailWasher should be Mailwasher). But besides this small error this is a very cool tool!

UPDATE June, 14, 2008: above mentioned errors have been fixed so pages generated with white-list generator should work fine now.
