We have all heard about the The Secret...well, since this has been brought into light, the lives of many have been drastically changed. On Oprah, the original author of this concept was a guest on her show. Her name is Louise Hay, and she wrote a book called ‘You Can Heal Your Life’.

She wrote this international best seller 24 years ago and since has seen this change the lives of so many. There were two more guests who spoke about the power of your thoughts and of making lists.

Now the reason I bring this up is because this makes such a dramatic difference in your life and the success of your business.

You and I have the power to bring good into our lives by changing your thinking. Louise Hay was thrilled when The Secret came out last year, happy to know that everyone will have the chance to apply this into their lives.

This power can work not only in big ways, but in many little ways. Oprah shared an experience she had last month when a Bubble Blower came on her show…she thought she she would love to go blow bubbles with her god-daughter and needed to get some bubbles. She went up to her office, and next to her desk was a bag with 6 bottles of bubbles and a silver bubble blower from Tiffany’s. She asked her assistant if she had gone out and bought these bubbles for her. Her assistant replied “No, I bought those for your birthday, and they have always been there, you just have never noticed them before today.” Oprah was stunned! She couldn’t believe that these bubbles had been there this entire time, but because she had not thought of them until now, she had never noticed them.

We, you and I, can really change our lives with our thoughts. We become what we think about, whether we want it or not. You need to first start off with positive affirmations, and this is the foundation that you build upon. If you are always talking negatively to or about yourself, how can you bring anything positive into your life? How can you be successful in your business if you think of yourself as a failure? You need to love life and know that life loves you in return.

Affirmations are like planting a seed, you give it a chance to grow, it may take time, but it will grow if your nourish it. This is too where making goals and lists, writing out your desires of where you want to be is so important. You are reinforcing this in your mind, you are making it concrete in your consciousness.

They talked about making lists, some made out of fear…’the shallows’, and then the list that comes from our heart. This does not work if you are desiring things from the ‘shallows’, but things that are of real value. An example they used was King Midas…he wanted gold to make him rich, but he soon learned, after his wife and child were turned to gold, that all he really wanted to love and happiness. If he had asked that in the first place, he would have that plus the gold.

I just wanted to share this with you, it has reinforced the role of positive thinking in my own life and I know it will help you as well.

As you know I only endorse products and services that I truly believe in. So now that I finished testing and tracking the Affiliate Silver Bullet, I am very happy to send you the results and my rubber stamp of approval.

Dustin Struckman, an Internet Marketer that I regularly chat with, had asked me a few days ago to checkout his true “push-button” marketing system. He launched it just recently and it literally does “everything” for you. In fact I made more then my cost of purchase back within 12 hours…

If you are in a rush, you can check it out yourself at: http://ViralKing.com/go/ASB

Basically, he’s created 10 “Silver Bullets” – each one making it “virtually” certain to make you money. Each of these Silver Bullets is designed to…

* Automatically build your own optin email lists
* Automatically follow-up with your prospects
* Automatically convert them into customers
* Automatically pay you a commission when they buy

All of this happens without you having to do or write or create a single thing. You don’t even need your own autoresponder. If you do have one though, then you can use yours as it is easily integrated into the system. And I personally recommend that you use your own as it’s important to build your own list.

The system handles everything for you… automatically. It is quiet fast to setup and once you have it setup, it works on autopilot.

I like it and if you want to check it out, visit: http://ViralKing.com/go/ASB

Each month, Dustin picks 10 of the top paying affiliate products and creates these Silver Bullets for them. What’s a Silver Bullet, you ask? It’s a profit-seeking set of tools for each of the 10 products. Each Silver Bullet includes:

* Professional Video Squeeze Page – to capture your visitors’ name and email
* High-quality Squeeze Video – to grab your visitors’ attention and get them to opt into your list
* Content Mini-site – to pre-sell your affiliate product and earn you commissions
* 5-part Email Series – to follow up with your prospects and convert more sales for you on the back-end
* 250 Keyword-rich, AdSense article to draw traffic from the search engines and earn you a little extra on the side!

And all you have to do is:

1. Sign up for your Affiliate Silver Bullet account
2. Enter your ClickBank Nickname (free to get) into your ASB account
3. Upload the AdSense articles to get traffic to your customized Silver Bullets. OR promote them to make it work even faster! (I didn’t even do the articles yet although of course it makes sense to do it right away)

That’s it! Absolutely everything else happens automatically…

You don’t even need your own domain to use this program, once again though, if you do have a domain this will work well too as it is as simple as uploading the files!:

* No autoresponder required – It’s included!
* No web hosting, domain or website required – Included!
* No special skills necessary – It’s nearly 100% automated!

Take a look at the site and see the quality of these Silver Bullets for yourself: http://ViralKing.com/go/ASB

Once you see them, you’ll understand why I’m so excited about this program and why I’m encouraging you to get started with it right away.

So what results did I get from one mailing? I emailed one of my lists and sent them to the splash page setup by Affiliate Silver Bullet and had a double optin rate of 25.15%! This means more than 1 in 4 people that saw that page signed up and confirmed their email!

That then led to 3 sales of my product that I used ASB to promote (so far) at a conversion of 1.52% – pretty good and can still get better!

And I have to admit that I didn’t even do it right from the beginning! Frank checked out the the autoresponder message that I setup after I did the mailing and found that I setup some of the links in the message incorrectly. Good that he did and that he fixed them right away. Imagine how much better the result might have been if they had been correct from the beginning?

Anyway… I won’t complain as the result was still very good and more then covered my investment with a single message and very little work.

Best Regards,

Colin

P.S. – Dustin’s offering this service for an really low price right now, but he mentioned that is considering to raise it once he got more testimonials from happy customers like me. So if I were you I’d sign up today and lock in the introductory price…

P.P.S. – He just launched a new feature so you don’t even need your own website, domain or hosting account. Just sign up and start building your list and making money within 30 seconds! It really is “push button” simple!

How can you benefit and get the most out of SMM (Social Media Marketing)? You find tips and tricks all over the Internet and I came across a blog, netbusinessblog that covers this topic beautifully. According to this writer, there is a one and only secret to using SMM properly. He first states…

The Problem:

The problem is by the ways SMM is being used. There are a lot of articles voicing the benefits but very little on how to use it properly. There was an analysis done by Gary Ruplinger on the SEO side of PR back-links, getting instant exposure, and the potential for viral marketing success overnight. If you set out playing this game without knowing what you need to do, you may end up hurting your reputation.

The Solution:

The only way to make use of SMM is by really participating in the community. Become a real contributor, using the services offered the way they are meant to be used. This is the key, become a member of the community you want to be known in.

Do you want to make the frontpage of Digg? Then do it buy building your reputation with good stories and content. The same goes for Reddit with your articles, or YouTube with your videos. Submit your best and your name will be known, coming up through the ranks, all built upon your honest and sincere reputation and contributions.

By taking the shortcuts, you won’t make it. You need to be actively engaged in the community, become a genuine user. Don’t try to play games with people, eventually they will see through it. Remember, Social Media is done by using it, becoming a part of it.

How To Do It:

*Do you want to gain a reputation on Digg?

Then submit some great stories, and vote on the stories you like.

*Do you want people to go to your MyBlogLog?

Visit their blogs, if you like what you see, let them know, join their community.

These are simple questions with even simpler answers. You need to dive into these social media site and learn how to use them. You cannot go into the social media with the mindset of what you can gain from it, you need to know how to use it and enjoy it. Then you will naturally build a good reputation, gain some new readers, and be the winner in the end.

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.

Wow! A whole week has gone since I last wrote my first ever Sunday Summary – It honestly only feels like a day!

Personal Update:

Personally this week I have been focusing on getting back into gym and watching my diet. Being a marketer we do tend to not focus on this aspect as much as we should, so this week a conscious decision was made to get focused again on the ‘healthy lifestyle’.

I also went to go and see a live performance of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ which was wonderful. I saw it in London before but Brisbane did a pretty good job too!

This week I also focused on my business ventures (as I do every week) and am happy with the way things are progressing, a little slowly for mine, but then again, I have always been a bit impatient (not a great quality to poses). I also spent time reading and learning Forex ins-and-outs because, well, it’s one thing to make the money, its another thing to leverage that money to good use. I have a stake in property already, so looking to expand and diversify my portfolio a bit. I will keep you updated on how that progresses.

In Other News:

Last week I covered microsofts bid for yahoo, well it looks like it might be costing them. Techcrunch covered the story which omits the fact that all tech stocks are doing it rough at the moment but it does seem Microsoft investors (a few of them at least) are ‘jumping ship‘.

Ebook Launch:

This week was the very soft launch of my ebook. I am still revising the additions and improving it, but so far have had very good feedback!

You can check it out at: http://www.ViralMarketingManuscript.com – As I do new revisions and updates, you will be sent them via email included in the purchase price.
