You know it. I'm different!
I have a website that says so - and it's different
too. There are TWO hyphens after the 'b' :-)
http://www.b--Different.com
What I'm about to share with you is how being different
can help you be a better marketer. It will also reveal a
powerful lesson - on being prepared to succeed.
Read on...
The Internet is buzzing with the news of John Reese's
release of "Traffic Secrets" on Tuesday, August 17th. I'm
sure you've heard of it from one (if not many) others.
The buzz is deafening!
And it is going to turn some people off. Not everyone
- maybe that includes you (?) - likes hearing many times
how great a course is going to be, especially if it is
priced out of their budget.
John's course - never mind that it's definitely worth
the price - is NOT cheap. It will set you back a cool
grand... $997, to be precise.
Don't you feel like a kid standing outside a candy store,
nose pressed against the glass, looking at the delicious
stuff inside - but not a penny in your pocket to BUY?!
It is FRUSTRATING.
And you're not alone. For every potential buyer, there
are a hundred - or even a thousand - others wishing they
could afford it, and pounding their keyboards furiously
as they try and forget about it!
Reach & Relate to them. To their frustration. To their
desire for more traffic. For success. For riches.
How?
Be Different!
Find an alternative - a substitute that's not as
costly, not as comprehensive - but still offers GREAT
value.
Like Andy Henry's interview with Brad Fallon, creator
of "Stomping the Search Engines". Remember I told you
about it some time back?
http://www.EzineMarketingCenter.com/seo/
The interview is 48 minutes long. It's an 'up-to-the-
minute' report on what's up with the search engines. It's
incredible value...
And it is F-R-EEE!
I heard about it from Ken McCarthy, the genius behind
the System Seminar. I'm not even sure it's ok to tell
others about it, but am taking a chance.

If you are convinced Brad knows his stuff, then go on
and see more proof of just how well he understands it.
http://www.EzineMarketingCenter.com/seo/
There are screen-shots of his Yahoo! Store, proving he
made $83,172.74 in April - just four months after he
launched it! He even gives out the URL - nothing to hide
there.
And his course is priced a lot lower than Traffic Secrets
- though it isn't a $19.95, or even $47 ebook. I can't
say how good it is, or how well you'll do with it
Because I Don't Know!
I'm still waiting for my package, which Andy is sending
as a 'review copy'. And yes, I do make an affiliate
commission from each sale that comes from my link above.
"Hey, Mani. Why are you promoting this product as an
affiliate if you haven't even seen it yet?!"
Good question. 2 answers.
1. Ken McCarthy is a guy I trust. He strongly endorsed
"Stomping the Search Engines". That's good enough for me.
2. John Reese's promotion has got folks desperately
seeking a traffic building tool or course or service.
I'd rather direct them to a quality resource than let them
get scammed into buying something worthless.
You'll recall I have always been careful to disclose my
lack of familiarity or personal experience with the product,
and the fact I'm profiting from it - that's critical to the
process of relationship building online.
Hey, you're smart. You're going to figure this out for
yourself. And so are YOUR subscribers, readers and clients.
Telling them upfront puts your credibility out of danger.
I'm preparing myself - and so should you.
Talking about being prepared...
There's another lesson in this pre-launch buzz which
you can benefit from - for many more years.
Imagine you HAVE the cash and have decided to buy
Traffic Secrets (or Stomping the Search Engines).
What will you do UNTIL you get the product
in your hands?
Already, a few lucky folks have Traffic Secrets. Many
are launch partners who've received a pre-release review
copy. Some are attendees at John's seminar. I am neither
- and have already decided to buy a copy of Traffic Secrets
when it launches.
So what do I do in the meantime?
Sit around twiddling thumbs? No, sir. I get prepared.
Between Traffic Secrets and Stomping the Search Engines,
I'm sure to drive boatloads of traffic to my websites. So
what's the best way to prepare for it?
* launch new sites designed to monetize traffic
* optimize existing sites to better convert traffic
* research hot topics to build traffic pulling sites
* discover products and services to sell visitors
* set up automated processes to handle the admin work
* expand my team, hire or train folks to help out
And that's what I've been doing in the last 10 days!

This new blog is on a popular, evergreen topic. I've
even designed a way my affiliates can use it to promote
my products!

I've also done the other things on my list. So should
YOU. When you are ordering a new product, joining a new
member site or affiliate program, registering for a new
course --
Plan Your Course of Action
Be prepared to MOVE - fast!
So that when the time comes, you'll be the first off
the starting blocks - and be halfway around the tracks
before the others realize what's happening!
(It's the Olympics that got me in this mood!)
Ok, I'll stop rambling and let you get on with your
work. Just remember...
Be Different
... And Be Prepared
All success,

P.S. - I will be doing a full review of "Stomping
the Search Engines" and "Traffic Secrets" after I've
put them through the paces.
So there's no rush to order - unless you want to make
a small fortune BEFORE the crowds do :)

Every day, several remarkable things cross my desk, my mind and my computer screen.
I love sharing them with you. When I send them by email, filters keep many of them out of your inbox.

Remarkable is in the eye of the beholder. If the target market
wants to hear about it and wants to talk about it,
then it's remarkable. Then it's a
Purple Cow.

Almost every link in this sidebar will make me money - if you do what I want you to do after clicking on it! That's because they are 'affiliate' links.
A large part of the money you'll give me will be used to support kids with heart birth defects through my CHD Foundation.
