Free Website Builder from NetObjects Fusion

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

If you are looking for a solid  program you can use to build your own websites, and it has to be free, get a copy of NetObjects Fusion Essentials.

I downloaded the program for myself to check out, and the software works fine so I don’t hesitate to recommend it to you. I also recommend that you definitely get the free software and test it out before you think about upgrading which is not free.

Since I liked the free program, I did upgrade to Fusion 8 for just $14.95. The latest version of the program is Fusion 10 (you can upgrade to this version for about $110), but I don’t see how you can do better than $15 bucks for a program of this quality.

I recommend you upgrade to Fusion 8 from Fusion Essentials if you want more power and options.

One feature of NetObjects Fusion software that might be important to you is the availability of website templates that make it easy for you to add your own content and finishing touches without having to write HTML or CSS code. Tutorials are also available to walk you through the process of building your own website.

NetObjects Fusion Essentials is more powerful than any other free program I have seen, although not as powerful as Dreamweaver.

However, I would say that both Fusion Essentials and Fusion 8 are certainly easier for beginners and non-professionals to use. Not to mention $100s less expensive!


Armand Morin’s Internet Marketing Explained - Last Chance for Bonuses

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

I just wanted to let you know in case you have been following the launch of Armand Morin’s new internet marketing course that after hearing Armand’s final teleseminar training, people were extremely excited.

Listen to the replay yourself and you’ll find out why.

After placing their order, people have started receiving "the" box and their initial reaction has been…

"Holy crap!"

That’s the WOW factor that Armand Morin teaches and he has followed his own advice right down to the tee.

Take a look for yourself here.

During this entire week he’s piled on some of the most talked about bonuses we’ve ever seen and people have been racing to get their own copy of the course.

Here’s a word of caution …

———————————————
ALL BONUSES WILL BE REMOVED SUNDAY NIGHT!
———————————————

With over $12,373 of value packed into THE biggest course on the Internet marketing, Armand has gone all out and I highly recommend you take a look asap.

He’s going to be removing all the bonuses after this weekend including the Video Resell Rights package, his "Persuasion X" series as well the Big Seminar Audio Resell Rights Package. Although I only mentioned three of the bonuses, it’s worth noting that there are total of 8 with the whole package.

Go here now, listen to the free training and then take a look at all the bonuses that are included with this course.

I think I told you that I was involved with development of this course. I paid a lot of money to take the original training course that was the testing ground for this finished package.

I have to tell you that I am a little disappointed with Armand’s course.

Here’s why. I was working on my own internet marketing course that would be complete from A to Z, and would pick up all the little bits that all the other stuff I bought left out. Well, I’ve been scooped! Internet Marketing Explained covers everything, in detail no less. So I’ll have to move on to some other project. Dang!

I knew the finished course was going to be good, but I was hoping it wouldn’t be this good. But it is. So this course will actually save you money because it’s the one complete course that’s out there.

I recommend Internet Marketing Explained to you because I believe you will get more value out of it than it costs you.

The Story of Stuff

Friday, January 25th, 2008

 Where does stuff come from and where does stuff go when you throw it away? Now showing - Stuff the Movie Epic, er … the video, or the website, whatever, it’s stuff on steroids (or maybe it’s on caffeine, or bottled water, or whatever). 

The Story of Stuff

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cheer, you’ll sigh.

Pulse-pounding excitement … yet tender moments that tug at your heart … with a shocking surprise ending you’ll be raving about for years to come!

Marvel at it NOW on a computer screen near you!

 

 (Note: I might have over-hyped stuff slightly, but it’s really important stuff - you should know something about this stuff .)


Internet Marketing is Easy - NOT!

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

I really hate it when I see sales letters, ads, emails, and other hyped-up come-ons telling people with no business experience how easy it’s going to be to get rich with internet marketing.

You even hear that from the "gurus", who have, of course, already put in the 5 or 10 years it took them to be the successful millionaires they claim to be.

And most of their income comes from people who don’t have any idea what they are getting into. Could that be you?

When guru Hyper says here’s how I do it, just do what I tell you and you’ll start making your financial dreams come true in 10 days or so, he (or she) really means, "I’ve been doing this for years so it’s easy for me." If you’ve been doing it for years, it might be easy for you too.

But if you are just getting started and are trying to do this in your spare time, take a deep breath, don’t quit your day job just yet, and think about what you really want to do.

And for God’s sake don’t buy any internet marketing programs that cost more than you can afford thinking that you will quickly pay off the debt with your newly acquired profits

If you think you are going to start from scratch with no experience and make $20,000 in 20 days, then I have a bridge for sale that will interest you.

Making money takes work. If you are not willing to or are not capable of doing the work, you should fold your tent right now. Harsh maybe, but that’s the truth. The get-rich-quick scammers don’t tell you the truth because they are pretty sure you don’t want to hear it.

The truth is that you will have to put in a lot of work up front to get off the ground with your internet business to make any money at all, let alone a profit. The payoff is that things get easier after you’ve done the hard part.

If you are just beginning your new lifestyle of marketing on the internet, or you bought that book about how to become an eBay millionaire, ask yourself how much time and effort you are willing to put in to make your dreams of quitting your day job come true. In reality, ‘quitting your day job’ means changing your day job to internet marketing.

Refer back to your business plan often to keep yourself on track. What, you don’t have a business plan? You should really put some effort into formulating a plan. You will find these websites helpful www.planware.org and toolkit.com.


My IM Connection to Queen Elizabeth

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

If you haven’t heard about the concept of "Six Degrees of Separation", the thesis is that almost everybody on earth is connected to everybody else by no more than six steps. I’ve never met Queen Elizabeth (yes, the one in England) and I’m quite sure she has no idea who I am. But it dawned on me the other day that I have a connection to her in only 3 steps. Here’s how it goes.

Step 1. I’ve met Armand Morin (that’s me on the right)

Step 2. Armand has been to dinner with Prince Charles (See p. 40 in "An Obvious Truth")

Step 3. Prince Charles knows the Queen (obviously) because he is her son.

Thanks to Armand Morin, I have a connection to the Queen, and it didn’t even take 6 steps. Now if you think about who the Queen knows, Step 4 for me opens up a whole world of people I never imagined I would have any connection to.

Wow!

“Recession-Proof Your Online Biz” by Jim Edwards

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

In this timely article, Jim Edwards offers his suggestions about how you can keep your online business profitable even in a down economy. You know the economy (that’s most of us!) is seeing some tough times right now, unless of course, you are rich.

Warren Buffet, ever the Sage, says, "If you can’t afford to lose 50% of your investment, you should not be in the market. " And who among us can’t afford that.

Recession-Proof Your Online Biz

Ok, unless you live under a rock and get you news by carrier pigeon, most people know the USA currently teeters on the brink of recession.

Though I maintain my own opinions about what this will actually mean to the average person, there’s no denying that the economy may slow down and sales may slack off a bit.

So, in order to prevent this possible downshift in the economic engine from affecting you, I offer the following advice to help recession-proof your online business.

*See It To Believe It*

No matter what you sell, you can use video to demonstrate either what you sell or the results customers should expect.

Product, service, software - it doesn’t matter. You can either use full motion video or screen capture video to "show and tell" people why and how your offering helps them. (more…)


“I Have a Dream”

Monday, January 21st, 2008

I remember watching on TV when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech at the Mall in Washington DC. It was an incredibly stirring and intense experience. He reminded us of the ‘inalienable’ rights of all people simply by virtual of being human beings without regard to any other qualification. Other people spoke that day, but his speech is the only one I remember.

On this day especially and every day after, I hope that we resolve to treat people with respect and dignity in the spirit of Dr. King.

Internet Marketing Explained

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

January 18th is Armand Morin’s birthday. So he’s giving YOU a present!

He is going to launch a course on internet marketing based on his 12 years of marketing experience. He was poor when he started, but now he’s rich so I’m thinking he knows what he is talking about. But you can decide for yourself - here.

I took the precursor to this course and I learned more about internet marketing in that time than from all the other stuff I spent my money on, so I’m pretty sure that this revised and updated new course from Armand is the one investment that you will be glad you made. It’s internet marketing explained by a guy who has been there and done that.

I’d especially like to know if you found Armand Morin’s announcement persuasive, so don’t hesitate to send your comments.
