Needless to say, of course, we are embarking on some rather tough times ahead. However, we as Americans have always found a way to survive and press forward and still remain the most affluent Country in the world. My good friend, Craig Perrine just posted a wonderful read over at his own blog. I want you to take a few moments to read it over because I think you will find some words of wisdom and encouragement that he so eloquently puts in print…much better than I could ever do.

Get your mind out of the gutter…I meant I should be punished for not having updated my blog in like..emm..almost a year? Wow..has it really been that long?

So, I’m not gonna float your boat too long I’ll just get down to my skivys (is that a word?) and tell you what I’m up to.

My partner, John Guanzon and I will be releasing a new traffic exchange called New Way 2 Surf and we think it’ll make a huge mark in the current industry.

You can take a look at New Way 2 Surf and sign up on the pre-notification list.

I have recently become involved in a fundraising event organized by Dr. Mike Woo-Ming. Dr. Mike left his medical practice a few years ago to spend more time with his family, and has become one of the most successful online marketers today. He still holds dear to him the value of helping others, and this particular cause is very dear to his heart.

Please click here to find out why he and over 50 other marketers (including myself) are working together on this very special mission:

Marketers on a Misson

I hope you join me.

Thank you,

It’s true.  Gary Halbert, one of the biggest copywriting names in the industry passed away this last Easter Sunday.  While I never had the pleasure of meeting Gary in person, I attended many of his teleconferences and found his sense of humor and style to be addictive.

I learned quite a few of my own copywriting techniques from the Prince himself and he will be sorely missed by me.  His website is still up and I encourage you to read it:

You’ll learn alot from just that site alone.  I don’t know how long the site will be made available as no one yet knows who will take over for him so read it now…and keep him, his family and friends in your thoughts or prayers.

Thank you Gary for everything. Love to you and yours,

Peace be with you,

A new phenomenon has hit the Internet Marketing world
and I’m writing to tell you about it.

It is the result of our endless quest for quality
traffic, for free.

In this case, a webmaster set himself the challenge of
building his business, and his list, without spending
any more money on traffic.

He developed a system for building a business using
free tools and just an hour each day.

In itself, that doesn’t sound too unusual. Many of us
are building businesses on a shoestring. But its the
results he got that make people sit up and listen…

In fifty days, he had massed a list of 6,000 starting
from scratch, without any JV’s and without spending a
dime.

Now that, is remarkable.

And it went on: the more signups he got, the faster
his list grew, the faster it grew, the more money he
made… he hadn’t just put his business in a
progressive groove, but it was in an upward spiral.

And here’s the good news:

That man has bottled his system and made it available
to a limited number of people through his door.

My Viral Spiral

Once his limit is reached, he is taking it off the
shelf to protect the value for those early buyers. It
might be made available again at a later date, but by
then the price will have risen sharply.

Really, this is a remarkable system and I hope you
find it helps with your business…

PS: Its called MyViralSpiral for a good reason, but
its not going to be around for long. It’ll take no
time for the limited copies to be sold so I hope you
get this email in time…

I want to share with you a story. Please bare with me….

If you aren’t you should be. I know…I know. I’ve heard it all from folks who detest pop-ups and if you use traffic generators like traffic exchanges then I can certainly understand why. But, here’s the real truth…….

Whether you like them or not, if you are selling something online you are seriously missing the mark if you aren’t using them. The problem really is…is that most people are using them incorrectly.
Utilizing pop-ups on your site can be hugely benefiical if you use them properly. You ever notice that some of the top markerters always use this technique? Honestly, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why!
You can actually use hidden techniques that will work for your vistors and upon them exiting your page..they get a pop-up wherein the visitor just cannot refuse to either sign up to your newsletter or special offer. So, how much money are you leaving on the table?

This in only one technique that you can use to create an awesome power of returning the customer who was just about leave! However, if a visitor is already ordering then in NO WAY should you interrupt them with a pop-up! Heck, you already got them interested….don’t bombard them.

There are several other techniques, and I’ve used a ton of pop-up generators, but I have certainly found one to be the best in my book:

I think you will be very pleased.

I had a very minor clitches with Word Press over the last few weeks.  Finally it seems to be working!  I’ll get back on board here in the next couple of days.  Thank you for your patience.

As you know, The Redmond Files launched just about 5 days ago and it’s been such a great ride.  Traffic to the site has peaked at a phenominal rate over the last few days.  One thing I can say we probably did wrong was just have a squeeze page to the main site during prelaunch  (Google and others don’t index those any longer so much).  While building the list was great, the traffic to the site was a bit small during prelaunch because there wasn’t enough content.

I’ve learned alot from this launch and you can be assured my next will be bigger and better.  I also learned from launches that happened at about the same time as mine.  My friends, Jason James and Robert Puddy both had product launches within days of mine and they did a few things I neglected to do.

We all learn from successes and mistakes, and I hope my sharing with you some of these will help you along your venture.

Be sure to come back so you can read all about what I discovered during this journey of my own launch and commentary on others.

Best wishes,

Jen
