Hi {!firstname_fix},
Here we are into February already. How are your 2009 goals or
promises to yourself shaping up? I suppose I could have done
better so far, but also could have done worse, so no complaints at
this point.
If you’re fallen behind already, there’s nothing to fear, the most
you can be behind is 5 weeks, so plenty of time to catch up, just
don’t wait until July to kick it into gear.

Here are this week’s new downloads:
Instant Affiliate Generator:
/notloggedin.php
This is a pretty cool script, I’m anxious to put it into operation
myself. It claims to get you viral traffic from an “affiliate
program” that doesn’t really cost you anything. I suppose it would
work better in non-IM niches, but it’s worth testing anywhere.

Part 2 of this monthly series from Tim Gorman has been added.

I get asked all the time if Earn1KaDay has an affiliate program,
and yes it does. For those of you that have had trouble finding
it, rather than give a link to the thread that you’ll lose track
of, just remember it’s in the JV Requests part of the forum, in the
sticky thread at the top.
One thing I did yesterday, that I should have done long ago, was
put in a little bit of code on the sales page that will hide the
fact that it’s a Clickbank link. So instead of seeing the glaring
hop=xxxxxxxx in the URL bar, your visitors will see just the
regular URL.
I set that up at request of a member that noticed that one of the
Super Quick Videos that I keep telling people to check out in the
download area tells exactly how Clickbank merchants can do that. I
had personally overlooked that video actually.
It’s fairly easy to do, and I would suggest, if you’re heavily
promoting a Clickbank merchant, you should ask them to do that
themselves if they don’t already (most don’t), it’s easy.
Or, of course, if you’re a Clickbank merchant, you should do it
yourself to protect your affiliates. They’ll appreciate it, and it
should make their conversions better, and if their conversions are
better they’ll be more likely to work harder for you. Win-win,
right?
It’s video 34 on this page:

Forum threads of note:
Raising your prices works:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6743
According to Steve, following one of the recommendations of the
Formula 5 product that I mentioned a few weeks ago, raising your
prices works well. Have you tried it yet? That’s on my 5 Bucks a
Day project list, actually, not for this membership but for my
merchandise site.

Outsourcing idea:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6750
I had an idea that finding one or more people to be on call for
members might be something pretty cool. I got the idea from
reading a sales page recommended by Marlon Sanders, where he’s
promoting a John Jonas product that says you can get very cheap
outsourcers full time from the Phillippines, like for $150 a month.
Well, it isn’t really that easy, but that’s another issue.
The discussion in the thread has taken some twists and turns, and I
don’t know where it will end, but your input is certainly welcome.

Mind movie example from Michael Gunn:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6697
Michael shared a mind movie he put together based on the
presentation Jaime and Gregg did at the seminar. I was thinking I
would try to put together a sort of generic one for Earn1KaDay
members. It might be difficult to do a generic one, though, for
such a diverse population, what do you think? Typically a mind
movie will be more personal, like talk about fitness,
relationships, etc., but maybe a starter one for income and
prosperity wouldn’t be a bad one to kick start things. In any
event, take a look at Michael’s that he did with animoto.

January 2009 Member of the Month:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6779
Congratulations to Gene Pimentel, if you’ve read his report about
profiting with domains, and the extensive follow up he’s been
giving daily to tons of questions, you understand why he was a good
choice. If you haven’t read that thread, I moved it to the Top
Threads section of the forum today for posterity.

Another nice success story:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6740
If you’ve been around a while, you know how Cori struggled in the
beginning, but she wasn’t afraid to ask questions to find out what
she needed to find out. Now it’s all starting to click for her,
and I hope her progress will serve to motivate those that are still
where she used to be.
Bottom line is, don’t be afraid to ask questions and solicit help,
that’s what we’re here for, to help mentor you on your path to
success, whether your vision of success is a 1K day or otherwise.

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights, there is much
more going on all the time at the forum. Don’t be a stranger
there, that’s where the primary value of your membership is, after
all. We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a lounge
there if you want to unwind), we’re there to learn from each other,
and share with each other, and as you can see from the above sample
threads, there’s a lot of that happening.

Until next week, I wish you the very best in everything.
