If you are following the
Internet Marketing community for some time, you certainly will have heard about John Reese and his
Million Dollar Payday. I have previously written about massive
Internet Marketing launches and John Reese's
BlogRush widget.
He was the first one, who brought in 1 Million Dollars from a product launch in a single day. This was with his legendary product
Traffic Secrets, which sold like crazy for
997.00 US$.
4 years later it's time for John to release a brand new product called
Traffic Secrets 2.0, which will go live on
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
at 12:00 EDT (as in New York, USA)
You might have received a lot of emails from John's marketing friends talking about the product and you might also have seen all 3 videos John has released to promote his sophisticated course.
If not, here is the link to the 3rd video and you also find the links to the 2 previous videos there.

Did you ever hear the term
“Reversed Squeeze Page”? Not too long ago, I was asked, whether a
squeeze page or a
reverse squeeze page performs better for generating opt-ins for a promotional type of email newsletter.
Of course my answer was,
“It depends!”
But let me start slowly here, tell you a bit about the history of squeeze pages and why using them at all is a good idea.
Squeeze Page History
The traditional squeeze page is said to be invented by
Eben Pagan, who has become a perfect role model for the typical Internet marketing success story. Eben's original idea was to tease Web visitors with valuable information, but not giving it to them directly. Eben was the first one who asked for an email address in exchange (or the first one, who became famous for it).

In 1994 about 14 years ago I started to use the Internet at the University campus. Very quickly
Email became one of the most important tools for me and it is still today. However, with the upcoming of spammers and anti-spam measures Email has lost some of it's reliability.
I mean, are you sure you receive all important email messages, or are you sure all your messages you send are received?
I'll show you in a minute what I do to make sure Email works reliably for me, even for most important communication needs. Before that, let me tell you, how it all began for me (
scroll down, if you are in a hurry).
How It All Began
Do you remember those times, when the “World Wide Web” and it's HTTP protocol were fairly new. I remember using the following services and protocols to find and research information on the Net. (This was not exactly fun and easy like it is today.)

My blogging friend
Matt Harzewski literally woke me up with his post about
Net Neutrality. I actually picked the video I show you here from his selection.
“Thanks Matt for being on alert with those things!”
Where is the threat?
Would you like your ISP to do the following things to you.
- Throttle the speed for Web sites they don't like.
- Blocking certain protocols, like streaming video, and only offer their own paid content.
- Charging Web site owners extra to get access to you at a decent speed.
- etc., …

Have you ever been frustrated, because business is not moving forward? You are giving it all, but success seems to be far away. Many business people know this kind of situation. Whether as part of a big team that they are managing or as solo entrepreneurs, who run on their own.
In my experience it is even harder for the lonely rider to cope with “lack of success”, because there is no social support by colleagues, no other department, nor the “stupid boss” that you could blame for lack of results. (There’s no big budget to cover up inefficiencies as easily as well.)
From the many different types of businesses an
Information Product Business seems to provide many benefits, like
- low startup cost,
- high margins,
- and you don’t really need an office
You and me know that thousands of people try to get their Internet based business off the ground, but most of them give up too early.
Why is that?
They are overwhelmed by the amount of information and advice that’s available (either for free or for sale), they get it all, but what’s missing is the big plan that ties it all together.

As usual I am posting my
fake carnival of carnivals which have used my posts in their editions. You have guessed right, it's just about rewarding them with a backlink.
In previous posts about blog carnivals I have mentioned that I feel the
quality of carnivals seems to degrade over time. More and more blog carnivals have become almost automatically created collections of links without much editorial effort. And I had to throw out a number of carnivals for todays post, because they simply did not meet their schedule.
Here is the list of reliable carnivals, that used my
mind mapping post this month.
