Gifts, Hints, & Ramblings

For subscribers to my list, you’ve already been notified of a terrific report from Rob Toth called, “My Quick Money Ideas That Worked.” (I sent it out yesterday. If you’d like to get on my list to get notices about such things and other amazingly fantastic low-cost and free gifts, just head on over to: www.GiftsFromMike.com)

If you haven’t picked up Rob’s report for less than $2 (no, that’s not a typo…it really is less than $2), I would strongly recommend it. Here’s why:

• ONE: I’ve read it. It’s not fluff, nor filler. It’s 71 pages of solid information.
• TWO: As I was reading through it, I felt like I was involved in a great conversation with an experienced marketer who was telling me some of his personal experiences and how he made some quick cash to get himself out of a bind or two. It’s good reading!
• THREE: The ideas are very doable. I mean, you can read these things and then actually see how to do them yourself - or your own version of them. Rob’s all about teaching in this gem of a report. He wants you to really get it. So, he’s clear and direct.
• FOUR: There are a couple of places where he gets a bit long-winded as he tries hard to make his point. But, you know, I’ve got friends who are REALLY long-winded, just droning on and on and on. This isn’t like that and it’s only in one or two spots.

I really like Rob’s report. And, I’d really recommend it. You can pick it up by following this link: My Quick Money Ideas That Worked

Now, just in case you’re a bit skeptical and think it’s not worth $2 for a rock-solid, information-packed, 71-page report that will help you pick up some quick holiday cash, then I’d invite you to read what The Daily Marketing Ace had to say about it. (Here’s a hint: it’s not all sweet smelling roses!)

You know that I’m a student of internet marketing and enjoy learning, reading, studying, and implementing what’s out there.

Then, of course, I like to bring you the insights, information, and opinions about it all.

Well, I just discovered a rather unique marketing approach being taken by Michael Badger that I thought was worth passing along to you.

Michael is a down-to-earth, honest, hard-working guy just like you and me. He’s been on the internet for a while and has learned  a few things that have been quite successful for him. And now he’s about to come out with a unique product and decided to take a unique marketing approach to do it.

Not One Red Cent

His program is not called, “Not One Red Cent”. That’s just a name I’ve given it because it won’t cost you a single penny, not a dime, absolutely nothing to be a part of his marketing efforts and to pick up a little bit of cash along the way.

I won’t take up a whole lot of space here to describe everything there is to know about his program, but I will mention that he’s devised a way to help everyone make some money, even if:

• they don’t buy anything
• they don’t sell anything
• they don’t advertise anything
• they don’t do anything at all!

Not One Red Cent

I’m sure the first thing you’re thinking is, “That’s impossible!”

Well, I thought so too. Until I read his web page and was convinced that he has an honest plan for helping anybody make a little money.

Of course he’s built into the system opportunities to pay people more based on just how much they do. But, I can honestly say that his marketing approach and his program will pay everyone something. No matter what they do or don’t do.

Coach Mike here with a word about SEO.

If you’re relatively new to Internet Marketing you may not know that SEO means “Search Engine Optimization.” That’s a fancy way of describing how a search engine like “Google” decides how to list your web site.

Anyway, I’ve just been reading an advance copy of a report being put together by a good internet marketing friend of mine, David Congreave. He’s released the first part of an excellent resource on how to improve your rankings in the search engines.

If you have a web site or are looking for more information about how to improve your rankings, then I invite you to head on over and take a look at this report.

Search Engine Optimization

You’ll be asked to sign up, but it won’t cost you anything. I encourage you to take a look today!

I am always surprised at how much life takes away, when you let.

What I’m talking about is how much time has gone by since my last post. I thought I would be back here writing another post at least 4-5 days ago. Instead, it’s been more than 10 days since my last writing. That’s not what I expected.

It’s because I’m not dedicating my full attention to this. When I started this blog I was a full-time, stay-at-home internet entrepreneur. Now, I’m a part-time, at best, when I have the time, internet entrepreneur. It’s making a much bigger difference than I had wanted.

Anyway, one of the things I’ve started working on is generating a flow of cash through a system of JV Brokering that I recently read about. It’s not the usual JV Brokering I’ve learned about before, so I’m not sure how well it will work. But, I’m going to give it a try.

And, just for fun, I’m going to chronicle my efforts through this blog. So, keep your eye on this space for updates and information about how that’s going.

Meanwhile, I’m still looking for 19 more people who are willing to participate in a marketing experiment with me. I need you to sign up with the Power of 10 program and pay the one-time upgrade fee of $10. Then, send me the receipt and let me know you’ve signed up. I’ll reimburse your $10 fee and get to work doing the marketing for you.

P.S. I’ll write more this next week and let you know what I’m up to. For now, just enjoy the free gifts.

Today is a day I didn’t want to see come. Ever since I left my full time job on December 6, 2006 I kept believing, dreaming, affirming, and working towards never going back.

Well, today’s a day I’m going back. Not exactly to my old job, but to another one. It’s only partly because I want to go back. It’s mostly because I’ve not yet made it in the online world to survive out here on my own.

I’m going back to put some money in the ol’ checking account so we can keep paying the bills. You want to know the really sad thing? I’m not even going back for a level of compensation that I’m happy with.

The upside, you ask? The compensation will increase as the business is successful. And, we’re poised on the brink of that success. Part of the reason for bringing me on board is to accelerate the growth rate and realize the profits sooner. That’s the upside.

Am I happy to be going back to a job? Not really. But, it’s necessary right now. So, we do what we have to do. I refuse, however, to give up on my dream. I will not stay captive in this kind of world that is not of my own making.

As Winston Churchill said, “…never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. ”

Onward and upward, my friends!

Do you get frustrated like I do?

What frustrates me is when I join a program under the rules and guidelines that make it sound like things are exactly what I’m looking for and then they go and change the rules on me! That frustrates me.

Yesterday I posted a link here to a program (The Power of 10) that offered a chance for you to join without paying a penny and possibly earn some money. I offered to promote that program on your behalf to help you earn some money.

Well, just this morning, I found out that they’ve changed the program and no longer offer the ability to earn money as a free member. You can join as a free member, but you can’t earn money.

Now, I understand the reason they did it. They had people signing up multiple times with different names just to cheat the system. (You know, I get frustrated when the rules change but I get angry when people are dishonest and try to cheat the system. It ruins the program for everybody and that’s certainly the case here.)

Well, here’s what I’m going to do about it.

I’m going to pay your way in.

Yes, you heard right. I will pay your way in.

I made a promise that you could join the program without any cost to you and earn some money because I would promote it for you. I will keep my commitment.

So, I’m still looking for 50 people. (I had 17 - that number may drop because of the change in rules - so I may have more than 33 slots open.)

If you have not joined - please join and pay the $10 sign up fee. Forward a copy of your receipt to me and I will pay you the amount you paid. (Some people may have already joined and now they’ll have to pay $20 to get in. That’s ok. Do it. I’ll pay $20 for you.)

I cannot be responsible for the changes in the rules the program operators made. It’s too bad they didn’t have the foresight or the technical expertise to program in safeguards to minimize the cheating. But, they didn’t.

That doesn’t mean, however, that I can’t keep my commitments to you. I will. Sign up and pay the $10 (or $20 if you need to upgrade now after the fact) and send me a copy of your receipt that confirms you’ve paid. I’ll send you the $10. (I’ll use the same payment processor you used to sign - or one of your choice, if I can.)

It’s been a crazy couple of days. I’ve had personal issues to deal with that have been quite time consuming. Parents getting old and having health issues. Employment opportunities that demand attention and consideration. Internet marketing challenges that are engaging but not necessarily profit-producing.

But, let me not bore you with the details that might come across like the soap opera of my life. You came to get a tidbit of news, or maybe a free gift, or something like that.

So, what if I offered you an opportunity to make some money WITHOUT having to spend any money and without having to promote anything? (O.k. - there is more to the story. Namely, that you could earn MORE money if you do spend a little and you could make MORE money faster if you do some promoting. But, I AM offering you the chance to make some money without paying anything and without promoting…It will just take longer for you to make it.)

Here’s the deal:

I’m conducting a marketing test. I am seeking 50 people to participate. (Actually, I already have 17. So, really I only need 33 more.)

These 50 people (now 33) simply need to sign up…at no cost…in a program I’ve joined. Once you’ve signed up, simply send me an email with your member ID and your name. I’ll take it from there. I’ll do the marketing, the promoting, the advertising, etc.

If the marketing test is successful, you’ll make some money. (How much is unknown, but some.) If the marketing test is a failure, you’ll not make any money. But, then again, you didn’t spend any either. The only thing you will lose is about 10 minutes of your time. (That’s how long it will take to go check out the program.)

Are you interested?

If so, then I invite you to simply follow this link, which opens in a new window: The Power of 10

Whether you are interested or not, please accept this free gift as a token of my appreciation for you spending a few minutes reading my blog. (You can either right click and “save as…” on that link, or you can left click and the 52-page PDF will open up in a new browser window for you to either read online or save a copy to your own hard drive.)

Oh, by the way, if you leave a comment here on my blog I’ll send you another free gift in reply!

I finally decided to start a blog for my GiftsFromMike.com website. This will basically be random thoughts, ideas, and things I’m considering as I work online. Occasionally I’ll toss in a link or two for free or low-cost products I find that are worth picking up.

I invite your comments, feedback, opinions, etc.
