You’ve probably been getting emails about Russell Brunson’s $10 offer for his Affiliate Evolution product. At that price you might very well want to buy in.
Just be aware that you will also see several One Time Offers in addition that could increase your cost to hundreds of dollars if you decide to give them a try. Use your best judgment.
If you just want the $10 items that intrigued you in the first place, scroll to the bottom of the OTO pages, and click the "No thanks …" links until you get to the 6 mp3 files and 1 pdf.
What is significant about $3,253?
Well, the impact of that dollar figure grows when I tell you that this … Wasn’t generated on a monthly basis or a weekly basis. It wasn’t even generated on a daily basis or an hourly basis.
It was generated on a PER MINUTE basis!
This was the average amount a persuasion expert generated each minute he spoke at various seminars during the last year.

Here’s the interesting part of the story…
———————————————
This person sold a total of $4.1 million dollars from a mere 14 speaking engagements.
Can you imagine speaking only 14 times and generating $4.1 million dollars? Neither can I!
Well for the first (and likely last) time ever, this person has decided to share his highly powerful sales techniques.
Obviously, this event is NOT for everyone. I mean who has $5,000 laying around unused?
If you have no intention of speaking from stage, then it’s definitely not for you.
If you don’t plan on hosting a teleseminar in the next year, this isn’t for you.
If you aren’t someone who plans on selling any kind of product or service in the next year, don’t click Here.
However, if you want to learn the powerful techniques to help you win over any audience and dramatically improve your sales, then click HERE.
Clicking HERE will cost just a few minutes of your time. Then, if you are persuaded that this is right for you, you will know what to do.
I know you’ll enjoy it.
Take care.

P.S Click on the link below right now because the seminar offer expires soon.
What Stephen Pierce has to say might be the answer YOU are looking for. It’s worth a look. If you don’t know about DTAlpha Talkback, I think you should.
Highly recommended (and FREE).
As you are probably aware if you are using WordPress to operate your blog, it’s not so easy to upgrade each new release and keep all the stuff you’ve already done, especially if you forgot what is in your wp-config.php file.
WPAU to the rescue!
After I finally figured out how to reset my admin password, as soon as I logged in there was a notice to upgrade to the latest WordPress version (2.5.1 as of this writing). Now I am generally pretty good at following directions, but I’d rather not if I don’t have to.
So I took the coward’s path and opted to get the wpau plugin and upload it to my WordPress wp-content > plugins folder on the server. I hold my breath when I try one of these things that I have no experience with, but this plugin worked great. I updated eMarketWorks to the latest release of WordPress with no trouble. So I didn’t set any breath-holding records this time. In fact, it was all over in about a minute.
If you are upgrading your WordPress installation, I recommend trying the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin.
My Windows computer crashed and took my administrator access to this blog down with it (my password no longer worked). Has that ever happened to you? Having wearied of Windows and perpetual restarts, I bought an iMac and trudged out into the fields to plow new ground.
But I still could not log into eMarketWorks. After poking around in WordPress.org, and wondering why this particular problem seemed more or less ignored, I finally found emergency.php. With some trepidation, I followed the (actually very simple) instructions to the letter, and … Voila! in a matter of seconds I was able to reset my administrator password.
If you ever have that problem, I recommend trying the emergency.php route before anything else. I am very happy with how that solution worked.
Have you ever wondered what an internet marketing guru looks like? Of course you haven’t because you’ve seen plenty of their pictures.
But have you seen Michael Green? Michael keeps a low profile when it comes to his image to keep his internet business separate from his "real life" because his real name is Grant and he is also a member of Parliament.
I thought I would share this picture with you because Michael came to visit me when I was a student in one of his mentoring programs. 
Yes, he flew in from England. I can’t say that he came just to see me - I’m sure he had several students in the United States that he visited on that trip. But here’s the point - he took the time to come and help me personally, not meet me in a gathering of internet wizards in some big hotel where you are competing with hundreds of others to get someone’s attention.
While I feel that Michael is a business friend, there was one thing that was wrong with the mentoring he gave me. Because he has mastered internet marketing and can sell ice tea to eskimos, he forgets that things are not so easy for the likes of me. So he left out the part about doing market research and guided me into writing a book that no one wants to read. Now I bet he could sell lots of copies of my book to people who aren’t even interested in gardening, but I can’t. Especially not about gardening with native plants. Oh well, live and learn.
The bottom line for you? Do some research to determine that there is a viable market for your ebook before you write it. There’s a good chance nobody really cares what you have to say about your "passion".
New to internet marketing? On a tight budget? All the gurus telling you to buy their stuff?
Wait!
There is a goldmine of free products and information on the world wide web. So before you buy anything expensive, look for the free stuff. The simplest approach is to use a search engine like Google or Yahoo. Just search for: free fill-in-the-blank; for example: free website builder.
The only problem with this approach is your time. You have to do the searches, then you have to try out whatever comes up to find out if it is what you are looking for. On the other hand, you can’t beat the price.
I’ve made a point about using planning as a step-by-step how-to guide for developing your business so here is where you can get a free business plan template and a free pdf guide book bundled with it from planware.org.
"… Free-Plan registration is completely free and there are no strings attached ! You will not be added to any email list as a result of registering. Check our privacy policy at <www.planware.org/privacy.htm>.
To register, simply e-mail <freeplan@planware.org> quoting within its body the serial number displayed in the table/box located in the middle of the first page of the Free-Plan Template file (FREE-PLAN_TEMPLATE.DOC).
You will be e-mailed back a password with simple instructions to unprotect the Template. Once unprotected, you are licensed to use it as an outline structure & guide for your business plan. It can be freely modified and there are no restrictions on how and where you distribute your completed plan based on the Template. (A little mention would be nice <g> but that is at your complete discretion)."
Freeplan is comprehensive so don’t feel like you have to do everything that is suggested. Start with a Short Plan. The idea is to familiarize yourself with the elements of a business plan and use those parts that are most relevant to you personally. Let me know what you think of it.
I try to keep in mind that a plan is nothing, but planning is everything - in other words, plans are meant to be revised as you get new ideas and information, and as your knowledge and skills grow.
From time to time, I’ll point out places where you can find other items that are both free and useful. Please add any suggestions of your own.
PS You don’t have to be a beginner/newbie to make good use of free stuff!
If you are like me (and are easily distracted), you have tons of ebooks, mp3s, videos, blogs, urls and other internet detritus cataloged on your computer. And you never actually use that stuff because there is always something new coming down the pike that you just have to explore.
It would take months and possibly years to read, listen, and view all the stuff you have accumulated in your hunt for internet marketing magic.
There’s only one cure for the packrat syndrome - choose a mentor (guru if you prefer) and ignore everyone and everything else not specifically recommended by your mentor until you are making so much money that you have time on your hands to explore other things.
Give your mentor 6 - 12 months to get you into money making mode, and by that I mean you are making about the REASONABLE PROFIT you were aiming for. If you were going for $ millions, you shouldn’t be here reading this.
If you haven’t gotten in the profit zone in that time, and you are the persistent type, you need to get another and hopefully better mentor.
There is also the possibility that you are not cut out for this kind of work, and you should definitely consider other options. There’s no shame in a steady job.
I’m not going to recommend a mentor to you (unless you ask). Use your best judgment and stop being an internet marketing packrat. By focusing your training and actions around the advice of a single mentor or consulting service like Stompernet, you will have a better chance at doing something that actually makes money.
Did "they" tell you that you can make a fortune with internet marketing even if you don’t have a product? If so, they lied.
Here’s the mathematics: No Product = No Sales = No Income
Consider for a moment what a "product" is. It’s anything that someone else wants. I can’t make it simpler than that. They don’t even have to pay for it, they just have to want it.
We can describe products in a number of ways, but for our purposes here, we’ll just call them items that you get paid for. Those items can be real physical products (for example, a CD or a car), virtual products (for example, software), information products (for example, ebooks), and others.
The main point today is that either you are selling your own products or you are selling someone else’s products. This is one of those rare times in life when the choices are simple.
In internet marketing you generally have two ways of earning money. You can be paid directly for a product and get 100% of the sale price, or you can be paid a commission and receive some fraction of the sale price. Again life is simple. So here are the ways you can be paid.
Nevertheless, complexity lurks around every corner and that’s why you need to start with a business plan, or go back over what you have already done and frame it into a business plan.
If you don’t have a product or don’t plan to create your own product, then where do you get a product? Many gurus recommend that you start with affiliate marketing and look for products at ClickBank. You can include that strategy in your business plan. We’ll talk about that and other strategies in another episode.
I think it was Dwight Eisenhower who said, "In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
Your labor is one of your most basic and intrinsic products. When you sell it, we most often call that a "job". When you work for nothing, it’s called either charity or sweat equity. When you are new to internet marketing or don’t have a lot of experience (that means you aren’t making much or any money), your product is sweat equity - the time and energy you put into developing your business without being paid for it.
You probably noticed that people who want to sell you internet marketing products don’t like the term "sweat equity" because it sounds like work, and they are selling you the easy way to riches. Forget that - if you don’t work at it, it ain’t happenin’.
