As I announced in my video on the “A Personal Challenge” blog post, Colin & I are now both taking part in a personal health & fitness challenge to break free from the beer gut causing lifestyle that seem to have been part of being an Internet Marketer lifestyle package.

Now… how did it all happen and why should you join us?

How it happened is quiet straight forward… Joel Therien, a successful Internet Marketer that I personally met at the WIME seminar and know online even longer, is as I write this in the Pre-Launch for his brand new 7 Minute Workout program. He contacted me a few days ago and asked if I would be interested to become an early beta tester and help him spread the word… if I like it.

Originally I thought it’s just another “Here is a bunch of workout videos” type program and even though I like Joel and was attracted to the 7 Minute part of his program as that’s about as much as I can see myself spend on exercise time with all the work that constantly needs to get done… I was originally skeptical.

The second objection about me “spreading the word” was, that I am working in the Internet Marketing niche… and not at all in the personal health & fitness niche.

What made me change my mind? And why should you consider the 7 Minute Workout program as well?

There are two parts to my answer…

• The first part is that there is so much more then just a bunch of fitness videos to Joel’s program!

  Let me show you…

The first thing you will find once you log into the members area is that you are not alone, you are part of a very active community with two common goals…

…to become fit & make money while doing so! That’s right, and that’s the second reason…

• There is a money making aspect connected to Joel’s program and to be totally transparent, that attracted me to it as well.

  Joel explains how it works in detail in the second video that you see after you opt-in at 7MinuteWorkout.com on day 3 after joining the free pre-launch… oh, and while you are at the opt-in page, make sure you watch the video, it’s really funny.

You can take these 2 steps now, or after you finished reading the rest of my 7 Minute Workout program review.

What also positively impressed me was that it’s easy to adjust the program to your personal level by answering 18 quick & easy questions…

… it took me just 2 minutes to answer all questions and it even takes into consideration if you have equipment or not… I like that it isn’t a requirement and gives you custom exercise workout routine videos…

I personally learned already how to get into proper eating habits while being in Jenny Craig, but if you don’t know about that yet, Joel explains that as well and his program provides a Food Tracker, healthy and delicious recipes & a recipe and menu builder…

And to help us start on track, a Weight & More tracker is build right in as well…

As you can see, I like it and joined already Colin’s challenge as mentioned in my “A Personal Challenge“post… now I would like you to do the two steps mentioned before…

Step #1: Watch the funny video at 7 Minute Workout… because laughing keep us all young & healthy! And then…

Step #2: Enter your name and email into the form at 7 Minute Workout to see the first out of 3 videos that will give you all the details.

I am looking forward to see you in the members area & in the best shape of your life the next time we meet at an offline event.

When do Internet Marketers become Rabid Dogs?

When a high quality product of extreme, real value is created and launched by a very well respected and successful industry figure, who offers great backend prizes and affiliate commissions…. Thats when!

No doubt over the last 12 hours you have got 10 or more emails about a new product offering, heck I guess i’ve got over 15 in that time. but why, that is the question?

Well, for starters, marketers that respect their lists, only want to promote the best to them, in this case, I personally paid a tonne for the information now being given away free.

The next reason is the incentive, in this case, backend OTO’s are shown ranging from lower cost up to $800, these all pay 50% to the affiliate, not to mention the fact that Mike in this case is giving away cool prizes for those ‘big’ enough to get up to the top of the promotional table so to speak (I think top 10 get in there)

Third, Mike can afford to do this, as even though it is a free product, it could well be his most successful and profitable ever. Lets assume 10,000 signup – now forget about the OTO’s (which would bring in a lot of fast cash) it is also a continuity program, meaning that until you cancel, you will be sent a magazine with some quality information each month. Assume a 50% drop out rate, that leaves 5,000 members each netting Mike’s company $15 a month (after expenses)  Thats  $75,000 a month recurring income. Not too bad I wouldn’t have thought but Mike is in a position to do that because of the incredibly awesome information and products he has created and is able to pass on as value.

So the customer gets a 7 figure education dirt cheap, the affilite gets good rewards and the creator is well taken care of, Win-Win-Wins like this tend to turn the industry upside down for the period of the launch.

I know it did for me, I don’t expect to get in the prizes, but I still booked a domain name: http://www.7figuresecrets.org and then went to work building inbound links and getting listings in the search engines. If you search on google for:

7figuresecrets
7figure secrets bonus
7figuresectres review

you will see that my site is up there with many listings in google. I will be releasing through a series of blog posts how you too can do this in the near future.

For Now… If you still haven’t signed up after getting BOMBARDED with emails about it, do so now, trust me, its worth it: 7 Figure Secrets 

with the 7FigureSecrets free CD launch just around the corner, people will be rushing to grab theirs while stocks last, so Frank and I have decided to put together a bonus package for you…

To see the bonuses we are offering as well as grabbing the products, be sure to rush over to: http://www.7figuresecrets.org and enter in your name and email address.

We know that you will enjoy the product and get a lot out of it so head over to 7 Figure Secrets now to see what all the fuss is about

Farrah Gray is a young motivational speaker who wrote a book in 2004 called: Reallionaire

He was 19 back then and has since written a new book: Get Real, Get Rich

‘So What?’ You ask…

So what is that I am busy reading them, (one at a time of course) starting with ‘Reallionaire’ and it makes the basis for todays post. Farrah has a unique writing style and has written the book based on his life from the age of seven and at the end of each chapter, summarizes what he learned and what we too should learn and take on board.

Reallionaire Affirmation

At the end of each summary, there is an affirmation and here is one that I want to share with you today:

‘opportunities are everywhere. I can rise above any circumstance with hard work, integrity, faith and especially persistence.’

I think the key things to take from that is – No matter where you are at in life right now, you can improve your lifestyle and you should not blame anything or anyone but yourself. Rise above the bad or negatives in your life and make a change… Make it your goal to do it…NOW!

LinkSpank Spanking?

I have come across another great tool for your viral marketing strategy and it involves a bit of ‘spanking’. No, not the kind you are thinking, this spanking is not the naughty kind, but actually a way to share your content that you like. When you find a page, product, or service that you find interesting, you “spank it”. LinkSpank is a new form of social bookmarking!

This is a fun new way of voting for your favorites or sharing by sending these sites through email. You can also post it to your wall, adding items such as videos, which will all be an additional spank. You will be encouraging users to develop some deep discussions around the items you have submitted and all throughout LinkSpank.

You will make a LinkSpank profile and this profile will be your Inbox where you will be able to receive and send your favorites between your friends. You will be sending these through your email and will be receiving spanks from your friends. If you find that you are getting too many spanks, you can adjust your settings.

There is always the bad with the good, and we have found the kind of bad with LinkSpank is the way they share the content. You can relate it to UPS where all the packages are sent to the central warehouse or hub then sent out from there. Basically, you are collecting your favorite content in LinkSpank and emailing them from there. This is quite different from the way you normally share things such as on Facebook or sending an email directly.

But this is actually what LinkSpank is trying to accomplish by doing it this way:

1. This is a catchall for any content that you want to share
2. It is organized and easily accessed for anytime in the future
3. You can find your content through a simple search
4. Works a lot like your email inbox

This is not a replacement for the other social bookmarking sites, but an additional way to get your products and services known.

I have had people ask me how you setup Aweber with Feedburner, so I decided to write a Step-by-Step post on how to do it but first lets quickly review why you should do it:

Why Use Aweber with Feedburner:

* Scheduling – Aweber allows you to choose the time and how often (day, week, month) to send out your blog broadcasts
* Designs – You can design your template for your blog broadcasts
* Post Count – You can setup how many new posts before it sends an email with a link to all the posts
* Build a List – You can email your newly established and growing list about anything at any time
* Can-Spam Compliant – There is a link in every email for a subscriber to be removed, fast & easy, so good for your readers
* Now Counts Towards Feedburner Count – Better Than RSS subscribers as it counts them every day, even if they delete the email without reading it. Having a high feed count is very good for getting advertisers, growing your blog and of course increasing your blogs value!

How To Set It Up:

It really is quite simple once you know what you are doing, but to save you some time, here is a step-by-step on how to get Aweber configured to handle your email blog subscriptions and reflect in your Feedburner counter.

First: you need to have an Aweber account, so if you don’t you should open one up. The cost is $19.95 per month.

Second: Create a new autoresponder for your blog:

Third: You click on ‘Messages’ then ‘Blog Broadcast’, from there you click ‘Create Blog Broadcast’:

Fourth: Fill out the form entering your feed, configuring your template and title. Here you also choose how many posts are made before it sends, I have mine set to 2. Also, click on ‘Automatically deliver’ so that it starts sending without you needing to log into Aweber and approve it first each time. (maybe leave it manual for the first few to get the design right):

Fifth: Save your settings then go to ‘List Settings’ and then click on ‘Web Form’. Setup a form and then confirm it. (maybe only use email if you don’t want first name. On my email feed I have first name configured too. Then update setting’s and click on ‘html’. Take the html and paste it into the site where you want to have your form:

Sixth: Your site is now ready to grow you a list with Aweber and communicate your subscribers stats via feedburner. The next thing to do is configure your thank you pages and also the personal email sent for the member to confirm.

To see how you can set it up, why not sign up to my email update service and see how I have done it.

BIG Call there but….

It’s true. You hear all the time, ‘the money is in the list’ and more recently Frank Kern stated in one of his Mass Control Videos, ‘The Money Is In The Relationship With Your List’. I subscribe to Mr. Kern’s thought process but in order to have a good relationship with your list, you first need to have a list.

Aweber is a List Builder and Autoresponder, for those who don’t know what Aweber does, it allows you to capture your prospects names, emails and anything else you might consider useful and then contact them at will.

With Aweber you can setup unlimited lists, Autoresponders and contact forms and send an unlimited number of messages for one low monthly fee. Aweber are also known for their amazingly high deliverable rates with full time staff working on keeping Aweber off the spam lists so that your email gets delivered.

Aweber Works With Feedburner:

I use Aweber with my sites and Niches and in fact have a couple of accounts with them. It just got even better though, because now Aweber offers the ability to integrate in with your blog, so no longer do you need to use Feedburner email subscription as Aweber now reports your numbers to feedburner and allows you to manage your own list and presentation of the newsletter. The benefits here are huge! If you have some vital information you want to get out to your subscribers, you can just login and send them an email, also for those that use the ‘rss counter’ widget provided by feedburner, your subscribers are now reported and show up on there!

This is a brand new function and I have just added it to my blog. At the moment, every time there are 2 posts made an email is sent out to my subscribers that subscribe to this blog by email, with the content of those posts, allowing my readers to never miss a post.

If you don’t yet have an Aweber account and are serious about making money online, I suggest you get one and start building a list from whatever niche you are targeting online

Viralurl is a site that I founded. Frank and I teamed up and launched the site exactly 3 months ago today! We launched on the 23rd October 2007 whilst I was in France watching the Rugby World Cup, which my team, South Africa, won! It was an amazing feeling being there to witness it live and the amazing feeling continued when Viralurl proved to be such an amazing success.

It is hard to review your own product from a neutral standpoint but when coming up with the concept, I wanted to create a truely Viral tool that would benefit everyone that used it. The concept was to cover the important aspects of marketing online:

* Protecting Your Affiliate Link

* Building a List and Downline

* Opening up a new stream of income

I feel that we really managed to achieve this and if you look at what our members are saying, the feedback has been nothing short of exceptional with many claiming we offer the best upgrade value for money they have ever seen! That is a big claim and whilst it gives me a warm, tingly feeling inside to hear people say that, it also re-affirms my own belief that this site truly is for all Marketers!

Visit ViralUrl today and get started, it is free, but as mentioned above, it has an amazing OTO offer that you can’t go wrong taking. For all members it will perform the above main features as well as secondry methodsof advertising your product through text ads on the Viralbars of fellow members and the option to add text ads and banner ads to your site. This site really will help you, free or upgraded and really only takes 5 minutes or less to get going with:

What Viralurl does it cloaks your links to protect your commissions from being stolen, whilst, at the same time, placing a bar at the bottom known as the ‘Viralbar’ that has your built in affiliate link and opens in a new window. So you promote your affiliate links to other programs as normal, but cloaked with the Viralbar, it opens up the list building and income stream for you Automatically!

The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript is a product that was created to educate purchasers on the goings on of membership sites, viral marketing, managing joint ventures, creating buzz, in fact pretty much all the important things you need to know to run your own successful site!

Butterfly Marketing Manuscript even includes case studies of the websites, author, Mike Filsaime owns. The information in this product is really great and well worth the price tag. As I mentioned in my review of The 7 Figure Code home study course, the techniques and information in this ebook played a huge role in the success I have had with my sites and in particular my very public site in the make money online niche, Viralurl.

As you might know Viralurl did over Six figures Income in less than 2 months! Yeah, 6 figures income means more than $100,000 in less than 2 months. That is just from 1 site that we applied the knowledge gained from the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript.

There’s more though! Now that you have made the decision about if you feel it is worth investing a bit in your education there is a sneaky back door way to own the amazing Butterfly Marketing Script (this is NOT the manuscript, this is the membership site software and course that costs $1,497!)

Viralurl membership side is handled by this software that costs $1,497 – BUT… When you Buy the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript you will see an offer straight after, to get your hands on this awesome membership software for only $497 or so. Thats almost a 70% discount!

If you went this route, I of course don’t earn any commissions on that backend sale if you take up the offer. I could always suggest to you to purchase it at $1,497 in which case I would earn $700 in commissions, but rather than do that, I want you to buy the manuscript. It is more affordable for everyone, and those that then want to get their hands on the script can do so at a 3rd of the price!

Will the manuscript work for you? I personally am so glad I got a copy and would have paid 5 times the amount or more for the information I have learned. To get the most out of it you need to take notes, then after each chapter think about how it will help you, how can you translate this information into income?

The 7 Figure Code is a DVD home study course created by Mike Filsaime and Tom Beal. There are 16 (Sixteen!) DVD’s and 2 thick binders with all the transcripts of the DVDs as well as the power point presentation slides. In other words this is a BIG course and not for the faint hearted.

I purchased this when it first came out, as soon as I could get my hands on it, I grabbed it. I know what both Mike and Tom have achieved online and with these process they look set to take it to even the next level and smash their income records of last year. I knew that it contained DVD presentations from other leading experts in their field such as Rich Schefren, Stephen Pierce and many others!

Another thing I knew was that just months earlier people paid $10,000 to attend this event live, here I had the chance to grab the info on DVD’s that I could watch at leisure and implement into my business.

So, was it worth it?

Now, as you can see it is in my ‘Recommended Money Makers’ section so it’s unlikely that I am about to tell you it is not worth it, but it is important to write this section as it might help you decide if it will be worth it for YOU or not. At the end of the day, it can be worth it to 10, 20 or 5,000 people but if you don’t see value in it then you should not make the investment.

Once I got my hands on the DVD’s I watched them (Still haven’t seen the last 2 yet) in sequential order and took notes as I heard something that I found interesting. I then at the end of the DVD re-read my notes and thought, ‘how can I use this information to benefit me and my business?’ I then worked on putting my plan into action.

Honestly, some of the DVD’s I didn’t get a whole lot from in terms of new information because I have been marketing online for 4 years now and spent a lot of time educating myself in this industry. More than that, some of the information is common sense… When you think about it! I still got a lot out of those DVD’s though, because it made me think about it, it made me take action!

That was only the DVD’s I didn’t get a lot out of, now to the other 10!

There were many ‘golden nuggets’ in so many of the DVD’s that information gathered from this course allowed Frank (my partner at Viralurl and also a 7figurecode cheerleader) and I to setup a Six Figure Business! in fact, we passed 6 figures within 2 months of launching the site!

It was the principles from The7FigureCode and from the Butterfly Marking Manuscript (another product I recommend) that enabled us to do so. Without those products I am confident we would not have done 1/2 as well! So what this information means to us, on just 1 website (remember, we have this knowledge and information for life now!) in just 2 months, made us an extra $50,000 in revenue!

Was it worth it for me? Hell Yeah!

Will it be worth it for you?

If you are going to watch every DVD, at least once, (no time limit) write down and take notes as you go and after each DVD read your notes and think about ideas, how can you implement this, how can you sue this new found knowledge, then it could very well be worth more than the $50,000 I estimate these products to have been worth to me.

If the above is what you will do with this course, then it will be a great investment for you to make that I highly recommend!
