I have. And if you’ve seen me, you know I have a lot of hair to pull. I really like WordPress as my blogging platform. I don’t foresee changing it any time soon. However, with every upgrade in our techie world, as much you hate to hear it, but it’s true, it’s realistic to expect that sometimes the bugs will show up.

I was working on my blog the other day and I added a TweetMeme pugin so my tweets can be tweeted easily; however, it really slowed down loading my blog. So I decided to look for another one.

In my search I came across couple other interesting plug-ins that create widgets on your blog, but when I installed it I could not activate it. You are supposed to drag the widget to the sidebar and I could not select it. It just would not let me.

Issue: cannot select and drag widget

Solution: in the widget window click on the screen options in top right and click on enable accessibility mode

I now use TweetThis plugin. So we’ll see how it works…the only bad thing is that I lost the tweet count that TweetMeme was showing on my site. I guess you can’t have everything – at once.

Another heavily needed feature for me was to hide certain pages. WordPress templates do not do that automatically – at least most of them don’t.

When I met Mike in Dallas at the private party after the conference, he was much more than I expected: he was approachable, nice, funny…and it all started making perfect sense: the guy truly had talent for what he was doing.

His attraction marketing and funded proposal literally changed the internet marketing industry, and my life along with it, but…

Despite the fact that Dillard’s army of experts has put tons of hours in marketing research collecting data for this course. When you’re new, it’s not always easy to see how something that fits great in business “A” would fit into business “B”.

The biggest reason I did not see the immediate results with my Traffic Formula 1.0 was that I was too knew. Mike did a grand job with revealing secrets nobody else was wiling to reveal, but there was so much of it, I did not see the forest for the tree. I came to find out months later, that is a normal reaction with newbies.

What’s in the course?

The course is made out of 10 webinar modules. They cover things like:

• Building a long term asset You, Inc.
• Market research done right
• How to set up and automate your marketing
• Copywriting
• Split-testing
• PPC
• Banner Advertising
• Other Advertising venues
• Utilizing Social Media
• Creating money-making videos
• Targeting traffic
• SEO without SEO
• Sponsoring new team members

And much, much more…

After you’re done with this course you sales funnel should look something like this:

But if you’re not seeing how to fit all the pieces of the puzzle into your business as the course is progressing – you might have just found the “trap” and you might benefit from having this one piece of puzzle that is currently missing..

Do you know how to:

>Turn off notifications for a specific person on your phone.

>Retrieve the latest Twitter update posted by the person.

>Remind a friend to update by asking what they’re doing on your behalf

>How to send an SMS invite to a friend’s mobile phone

There are some interesting statistics on people using Twitter I wanted to share with you. In March of 2008 Twitter recorded:

Total Users: 1+ million
Total Active Users: 200,000 per week
Total Twitter Messages: 3 million/day

Twitter also shows these numbers in one of their graphs:

Yet hundreds and thousands of marketers are abandoning every day or simply, stubbornly refusing to use Twitter, due to huge lack of knowledge of how to benefit the most from Twitter. I created an “Ultimate Twitter Optimization Blueprint” for those just starting out or thinking about it, and I also wrote a blog post on  “Top 10 Cardinal Sins of Twittering” back in March – in a case you have not come across them somewhere on the internet so far.

To get even more from your interactions on Twitter, today, I’d like to tell you about some really cool commands that Twitter is allowing you to use from the web and from the phone as well.

I hope you find these as helpful as I did.

Here is the scenario that hunts 97% of internet marketers.

One morning you wake up, and the advertising money is gone.

The money you set aside to “invest” in your business has literally vanished. You spent it. Whether you got few, some, or none…not enough leads have come yet to pay you back for your investment. The credit cards are maxed out. The bills need to get paid. Your family and your friends are just waiting to tell you: “I told you so!”

Time’s up…What do you do?

• Do you throw the towel in?
• Do you spend more money – which you don’t have – doing more of the same thing?
• Do you hire someone to help you/take a course to help you – again with money which you don’t have?
• Do you spend more money – which you don’t have – doing something different? And if so WHAT is that different?

If you don’t keep moving, you will start regressing. Internet marketing is like a spicket. You have to pump hard at first and when the water starts running you can do the more with less work. The water will keep running and you just have to keep lightly pushing the lever. However, if you stop the pressure will fall and the water will go back to its original level. So if you’re going to want some water again, you will have to pump hard AGAIN, several times with no results before the water starts running with the continuous flow. Same here. If you stop working on your internet business you will fall back so much so fast, that you will have to work lot harder to get ahead next time around.

3…2…1…there is no time to think. Seriously, what is the right thing to do?

I’ll be honest with you.

It’s different for everybody. If your family has no food to eat, if your electricity has been cut off and your car is about to be repoed, I would suggest you take care of your family first and just pay the price of coming back at the later time.

However, if your situation is not THAT drastic, I would suggest you dust yourself off, do a big garage sale, get a part time job…do whatever it takes to keep yourself “moving” in the online arena.

Just driving through my neighborhood, I see everyday people’s cars parked in the driveway with their garages up full of junk. They can’t even park their cars they’re paying lot of money for . (and mind you I live in an Estates Section – go figure…)

If you are one of those people, get some of that stuff out, cash it in, cut your cable bill down…something, anything….just get moving and keep going – of course…the question then is what exactly are you going to do?

Well, I was at that point almost 2 years ago now. Not everybody is like me, but I have passion for working from home, sometimes in my PJs, sometimes in my swimsuit by the pool, sometimes I don’t’ work at all and I spend time with my family – that was strong enough for me to keep me going.

And trust me when you’re that committed to it, somehow the new budget money always finds you.

P.S. I found the system, I found the real mentors, and I found the online income that now comes in like a clockwork, every day. There is nothing – when it comes to money at least – more cool then when you’re out and about, or watching a movie, or hanging by the pool, or you sit at the computer to check your emails and you see emails

One of the greatest disservices to their internet existence and profits new reps notoriously make is using replicated websites.

What is a replicated website?

Replicated website is a copy of the company’s main webpage. The only way it differs from the reps is that in the address bar it contains a number after the domain name. That is how the company tracks who brought a new signup: i.e…http://www.greatcompany.com/266372

At first sight, the idea looks pretty neat.

You can always mask their domain name with your own, so the affiliate number is not showing – because when it does it makes it look very unprofessional and lot of peeps will simply take the affiliate number out and just go straight to the main site, in which case you lose the lead and the commission.

But that is not only half the battle.

The new rep is attracted by the idea that he/she does not have to spend millions of hours and dollars on design, copywriting, split-testing…etc. he/she can be on the website, live, within minutes of singing up and start their marketing.

Well…yes and no.

Yes, all that is true. BUT, in order to be a success on the internet, and stand out amongst millions of other marketers, out of which thousands and hundreds of thousands are doing exact same thing – using the exact same website – YOU have to stand out.

So if a prospect clicks on your link and find himself on a page that is exact same as 5 previous ones, your chances of keeping that prospect and converting him/her as a lead are slim to none. Honestly.

The gazillions of data collected through numerous software applications show that the prospects only tend to stay 1-3 seconds on any given site – IF they do not see anything that catches their attention.

• What is on your site that catches your prospects attention?
• What is on your site that will compel the prospects to sign up on THAT page rather then on any other that’s identical to yours?
• What is on that site that gives your prospect feeling that they are benefiting from signing up on your page?
• What is on your page that convinces your prospect that YOU behind that site can get him from point A to point B and are the answer to all his wishes and troubles?

It might be simpler than you think.

You just have to do what the top earners are doing. And it’s all put together in the FIRST EVER fully branded, customizable, lead generation & attraction marketing system of its kind that combines attraction marketing, affiliate marketing, cashflow programs and traditional MLM into ONE super powered profit pulling machine.
