			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div>Doesn&#8217;t it seem that big businesses like Walmart and Home Depot and</div>
<div>other companies don&#8217;t have that &#8220;personal touch&#8221;?</p>
<p>It seems that &#8220;local&#8221; businesses are popping up everywhere to bring<br />
that &#8220;<em><strong>personal touch</strong></em>&#8221; back into our everyday lives.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s because we as humans need to be social and we need to live and<br />
associate ourselves into communities and we buy from &#8220;trusted<br />
opinions&#8221; and &#8220;experts&#8221;.</p>
<p>We are nothing but social creatures and local small businesses are<br />
not going anywhere!</p>
<p>Look at how Yelp and FourSquare are changing the world!</p></div>
<div><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> </strong></span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Going local yet with that social touch. </strong></span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></em></div>
<div>
<p>So for all these local businesses to survive they have to have the<br />
marketing expertise to generate leads and get their phone ringing<br />
in their business so more people talk about them. When more people<br />
talk about these GREAT local businesses, word spreads, and that in<br />
turn leads to more sales!</p>
<div><strong><em> Right?</em></strong></div>
<p>I was up until 5:30am the other night (because I am so excited)<br />
crunching numbers from SBA and the US Census and came up with some<br />
CRAZY facts…<br />
<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<div><strong> </strong>1) 63% of Small Businesses have 0-9 employees</div>
<div>2) There are an estimated 4 million VERIFIED small business leads</div>
<div>you can buy online that fall under #1 above</div>
<div>2) 67% of small businesses in Florida have 0-9 employees</div>
<div>3) Miami alone is getting ready to spend over $300 million this</div>
<div>year in local advertising</div>
</blockquote>
<div><strong><em> So what does this all mean?</em></strong></div>
<p>There is a HUGE opportunity for us to go out and provide services<br />
to these customers.</p>
<p>The fact that the majority of these small businesses all have 0-9<br />
employees means that they do not have any kind of online marketing<br />
knowledge&#8230;or they just don&#8217;t have the time with all the things<br />
they have to do inside their business!</p>
<p>In fact, most probably don&#8217;t even have websites or know how to get<br />
listed on Google.</p>
<p>We also know that there is a LOT of money being spent in these<br />
local markets.</p>
<p>So common sense tells us that this is a HUGE market with LOTS of<br />
MONEY.</p>
<p>Main Street Marketing Machines is a product that Mike Koenigs<br />
developed that taps right into this market with PROVEN results.</p>
<p><strong>Main Street Marketing Machines GIVES you your prospects AND<br />
gives you TECHNOLOGY to show them RESULTS. </strong></p>
<p>Imagine showing your clients that you can own at least 50% of Googles<br />
FIRST PAGE placements for their local business by using Main Street<br />
Marketing Machines?!</p>
<p>Grab your copy here:<br />

<p>One bit of bad news though:</p>
<p>Mike just texted me and told me that Main Street Marketing<br />
Machines is closing down TOMORROW (tuesday, may 4th) at Midnight.</p>
<p>Not much else to say here besides local marketing is an opportunity<br />
of a lifetime.</p>
<p><em>I know because that&#8217;s exactly the direction we are headed in -<br />
LOCAL MARKETING (and we got a killer bonus for you that fits right<br />
in with Main Street Marketing!). </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>By now you have gotten all the emails from myself and a lot of other marketers to get List Control.</p>
<p>Well, of course you did! That&#8217;s because you should!</p>
<p>The bottom line is that List Control is a solid product, it WORKS and it&#8217;s on sale on Monday, March 15th, at 12pm PST.</p>
<p>I know Frank personally and he&#8217;s a GREAT guy with a SOLID marketing background! He&#8217;s worked with HUGE companies to help them boost their revenues via products, launches, and building email lists.</p>
<p><a href="https://smithkern.infusionsoft.com/go/walkthrough/a794" target="_blank">Check It Out Here! &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>List Control will help you in any type of online marketing because without a list, you do not have a long term business model!</p>
<p>So, this is ESPECIALLY important to those who are in or interested in the CPA marketing and affiliate marketing world.</p>
<p>The reason why I say it is especially important to CPA/Affiliate marketing is because when you drive traffic to CPA/Affiliate offers you lose out on &#8220;potential customers&#8221; that just leave your site.</p>
<p>The shocking TRUTH is that MOST affiliate marketers don&#8217;t build lists AT ALL.</p>
<p>What if you added an Opt In form to all your landing pages? And what if you captured just 1% of those &#8220;potential customers&#8221;, built a relationship with them, and have them in your sales funnels?!</p>
<p>What if  5% of those Opt Ins converted into sales?</p>
<p><strong>YOU DO THE MATH!</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The important thing is you have to know HOW to build a relationship with that LIST and make it WORK for you.</span></strong></p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter WHAT, HOW, or WHERE, you market online!</p>
<p><a href="https://smithkern.infusionsoft.com/go/walkthrough/a794" target="_blank">List Control Helps</a>:<br />
<a href="https://smithkern.infusionsoft.com/go/walkthrough/a794" target="_blank">https://smithkern.infusionsoft.com/go/walkthrough/a794</a></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget when you buy through our affiliate link you get a ton of bonuses as well. No pressure to buy through our link, but our bonuses WILL help you in terms of list building via DIFFERENT traffic sources and how to monetize them!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Okay, so <a href="http://www.shoemoney.com/2009/12/09/affiliate-summit-gambler-or-not-contest/">Shoemoney</a> has posted a contest on his blog about Affiliate Summit coming up.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m late on posting this (contest ended on Dec 15? which is today?), but you know what &#8211; I&#8217;m going to post it anyway.  Silly me for not paying attention to what goes on in these ridiculous communities of people who do nothing but boast themselves and give away crappy information.  Did you ever read my post about DOING STUFF and stop information overload?  Well maybe you should! (don&#8217;t take that too hard please. just keeeeding!)</p>
<p>Anway &#8211; </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what the contest entails:<br />
<strong><br />
<blockquote>Announcing the ShoeMoney ASW 2009 Contest.</p>
<p>1 lucky winner will win:</p>
<p>    * 1 Platinum pass to Affiliate Summit (by Affiliate Summit)<br />
    * 3 Nights hotel paid in full (by Affiliate Summit)<br />
    * Airfare – up to $500 in airfare reimbursement.<br />
    * Roll with me to some super badass private parties</p>
<p>Now for the gambler part of it you get your choice of:</p>
<p>$1,000.00 cash yours to keep and walk away with.<br />
OR<br />
$2,000.00 cash with the stipulation you must bet it all on 1 hand of blackjack OR 1 spin of the roulette wheel betting either red or black.</p>
<p>How do you enter?</p>
<p>Write a blog post explaining why you should win this amazing opportunity and submit the url to your page in the comments below. Also make sure you tell us your decision to walk away with the cash or gamble… and if you gamble on what?</p></blockquote>
<p></strong><br />
And here&#8217;s why I should win:</p>
<p>1) I don&#8217;t use HummingBird or some wack programs to get followers on Twitter. (but somehow I&#8217;ve gotten over 3,000 followers and continue to only follow people I want)</p>
<p>2) I don&#8217;t bid on PPC for Affiliate Marketing terms to build &#8220;my brand&#8221;. (but somehow I get over 800 uniques to my blog a day)</p>
<p>3) I don&#8217;t need a fake Facebook Fan Page to look cool.  The people I have are REAL people who are fans of me. Not just randomly throwing people in there via Gmail and Autoresponders (I know all the secrets kids&#8230;stop playing games). </p>
<p>4) I like to help people succeed in making their dreams become reality. </p>
<p>5) I will match what ShoeMoney is putting up (wait he&#8217;s not putting up anything, affiliate summit &#038; azoogle are, oops). So, basically I will be having my OWN contest, where I&#8217;ll be giving away what ShoeMoney gives away * 2. (I&#8217;m going to match what he&#8217;s giving away!)</p>
<p>That means I&#8217;ll give you:</p>
<p>1) Another pass to Affiliate Summit (Yay! Bring a Friend!)<br />
2) Another 3 nights in a hotel. (get a suite man..seriously)<br />
3) Another $500 in airfare (might as well upgrade to first class)<br />
4) Party? You really can&#8217;t roll with me to any parties, but you can use my comps to some of the parties I got invited to. (maybe I&#8217;ll see you there?)<br />
5) Free access to my next seminar. How about that? (it&#8217;s worth $4k)<br />
6) Some cash for you to blow in Vegas!</p>
<p>Done &#038; Done.</p>
<p>Vote for me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Wussup? How was your Thanksgiving holiday? Mine was great, Frank Kern invited some local San Diegan&#8217;s to a big dinner at his abulous house. Then I went to Vegas for 3 days for some major debauchery.</p>
<p>Anyway, before I continue, this post is going to be a blatant pitch for four different products. But for good reasons &#8211; they are all VERY good products. You know I don&#8217;t promote crappy products!</p>
<p>1) <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/chris/">Google Cash Detective</a> &#8211; The original Google Cash system was not some $1 free trial scam that you see all over the internet. Chris Carpenter is the ORIGINAL creator of Google Cash.  It was an eBook that was created back in 2003-2004.  This was the FIRST eBook I never bought to start making money online. No joke. That eBook was single handily the book that got me into the whole PPC game. Incredible, right?  Well anyway, now Chris has released a DVD training course with new material and some killer content.  Not to mention he also has some pretty great tools you should use to do your market research. He has a pretty interesting story on how the &#8220;fake&#8221; Google Cash people are attacking him and the FTC has over 250K complaints on him and it wasn&#8217;t even him who created these products!</p>
<p>Check out Chris&#8217;s report &#8211; <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/chris/">http://www.amish-shah.com/chris/</a></p>
<p>2) <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/loophole/">PPC Loophole</a> &#8211; With so many products out on the market to improve your PPC swag, PPC Loophole hands down gives you exactly what you need.  To make things easier for users, they have gone and included a wealth of information along with the SpeedPPC tool. PPC Loophole understands that you can easily go and find PPC basics anywhere online, so their goal isn&#8217;t to get you up to the speed of fundamental, but to take it to the next level of profit maximizing. I&#8217;ve gone through various tools and from my experience it is important to look through the user&#8217;s perspective. These guys have done just that with the creation of a site that brings forth ease of use and simple navigation.  Literally, as you take yourself through each tab, you will find in a matter of no time that you have learned everything from theory, practice, and most importantly how to use the tools.</p>

<p>3) <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/jay/">Google Slapper</a> &#8211; Jay Deiboldt is a great friend of mine and came out to San Diego to work with me for a while.  He asked me one day why I pay for traffic and I said because free traffic takes too long and is too much work. When he showed me his $1000 days without any PPC or spending any money at all, I was pretty floored. His content kicks ass and he shows you exactly what he does to generate free traffic to get massive affiliate and CPA commissions.</p>
<p>Free Traffic &#8211; Slap Back Google &#8211; <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/jay/">http://www.amish-shah.com/jay/</a></p>
<p>4) <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/saj/">Commission Payload</a> &#8211; Alex Goad and Saj P are releasing a killer CPA course next week and they&#8217;ve just put up this weird video that talks about a couple of mind-blowing tactics. First of all, the Borneo Monster Tactic, which shows how to cash in on very cheap traffic that nobody else knows what to do with. You need to see this!</p>
<p>Commission Payload &#8211; <a href="http://www.amish-shah.com/saj/">http://www.amish-shah.com/saj</a></p>
<p>All of these guys are on top of their game so listen to what they got to say!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Micropayments are popping up in every business model online lately.  </p>
<p>From iTunes to the AmazonKindle and now Google &#8211; all getting involved in micropayments.  </p>
<p>Micropayments are what Wikipedia defines as &#8220;financial transactions involving very small sums of money. PayPal defines a micropayment as a transaction of less than 12 USD, and offers less expensive fees for micropayment transactions.&#8221;</p>
<p>iTunes charges 99 cents a track, the kindle charges $1.29 per month subscriptions to magazines and now Google says they want to save the &#8220;newspapers&#8221; by allowing people to purchase subscriptions to newspapers for pennies on the dollar. The first time I saw this was with Yahoo Music about 5 years ago charging only $3 a month to listen to unlimited music.  Obviously this model has been around forever, but it&#8217;s just starting to get bigger and bigger.</p>
<p>With content and syndication and information being blasted from every corner of the internet, it&#8217;s becoming more social. People only want to see and read the information they are interested in.  Hint: this is a PERFECT example of why people are going into their &#8220;communities&#8221; and seeking information from within their &#8220;social network&#8221;.</p>
<p>Think about it &#8211; it&#8217;s all digital delivery so the costs of shipping, fulfillment and all that are minimal.  Making the cost to deliver any product way lower.  </p>
<p>So what does this mean?  If you own a product or plan on making a product, you should look into the micropayments model. Consumers will buy or join a site for $3 bucks a month and get what they want and be happy. </p>
<p>Which is why a lot of people shoot themselves in the foot when they measure their &#8220;ROI&#8221;.  Would you rather have 1K customers and only make $10 per customer? Or would you rather have 300 customers and make $20 per customer? </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not about the margins, it&#8217;s about the volume. </p>
