I hope your week went well. Normally I’d be getting ready for my
annual vacation week in Virginia Beach, but my wife’s current back
problem makes travel difficult on her, so we’re going to give that
up. I’ll probably take a day off here and there to relax and
recharge, but mostly that week, I’ll be doing some stay at home
planning on how to take my business to the next level.
See, this is the time of year when our competition is getting lazy
and is a perfect time to vault ahead of them. Sure, all work and
no play and all that stuff, but all play and no work isn’t so good
either, so remember to keep a proper mix so that eventualy you’ll
be working that great sounding “4 hour work week” if that’s your
desire.

PLR Voodoo:

When I first started reading this one, I was thinking it was just a
regular old crappy report with all sorts of embedded backend
affiliate links, but after I got into it a ways, there were some
decent ideas about how to improve PLR stuff. I think you might
like this if you give it a chance.

This week’s webinar with Ron Davies had to be postponed, due to
some computer and personal situations that Ron had to deal with. I
moved it back a week so that if you registered already for the June
24th webinar, you’re still registered for the July 1st reschedule.
I had forgotten that July 1 is Independence Day in Ron’s country
(Canada), but he graciously said to go ahead with it as is, there
are quite a few people signed up already, but not too late for
more.
Ron’s webinar is titled “Twitter for Real Business: How to build a
list of rabid buyers using only Twitter”. I predict a very
entertaining and informative show from a real professional
presenter. Don’t miss it. If you didn’t register already, you can
do so here:
https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/276903282
You do have to register in advance. No phone call is necessary,
you can watch online if you have high speed Internet access.

Future webinars are being scheduled, currently I have the Rhodes
Brothers lined up for one very soon, and one more after that. Also
coming is one from Kevin Rockwell, a professional video person (he
shot the video for our seminar in Orlando), he works for CNN and
will discuss online video. Wil Mattos and I will be discussing how
to run webinars, most likely on July 18th. So stock up plenty of
popcorn and your favorite beverage, and get ready for some treats
coming down the line.
And of course, more are in the planning stage.

Forum threads of note:
It turned out OK, but I had the heck scared out of me this week:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8072
Remember, and I mentioned it on my webinar just a couple days prior
to that, adversity will happen, be ready to deal with it. I
suggest you keep a list of your top business assets, tools,
services, etc., and a “what would I do if this disappeared?”
section in your journal. Every real business has a disaster plan,
what’s yours?

Another example, one of our original members, Andrew, is, as of
today, a full time IM’er, though not by choice. He’s going to move
his young family from Manhattan to Alabama, a pretty big lifestyle
adjustment is coming, but I predict he’ll do just fine:

A new member, Jesse, asks for signature advice. Whether or not you
have advice for Jesse, maybe you should think about how effective
your signature for your forums and article resource boxes are, and
offer any good tips you can:

FTC proposes to regulate endorsements in blogs:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8073
I think someone else posted something about this before, but to me
it makes sense, and is inevitable. After all, don’t you as a
consumer want to believe what you see in ads? If Michael Jordan
says he drinks Gatorade, and so should you, wouldn’t you get
annoyed if he only drank tap water to hydrate himself?
Feel free to agree or disagree with me if you like, but be advised
that the government might soon be looking at any claims you make
online (at least in the U.S.).

Success story: Edwin has a hit on his hands, it seems, with his
Affiliate Blog Builder. 40 customers already and he hasn’t even
launched it:

BTW, the link to his product is in his signature.

May they rest in peace. We lost some mega stars in the
entertainment industry this week, but we also lost one of our
members, a very highly respected eBay pioneer and someone followed
by a lot of people. He didn’t post a lot here, but he had been a
member for over a year, and checked in often. I’m speaking of Gary
Hendrickson, also known as “The Auction Rebel”:

Robert Plank and Lance Tamashiro are holding a free webinar on July
1st about product creation. I’m sure you noticed that Robert is
quite the product production machine, so I definitely plan on being
there, how about you?:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8057
I suspect he’ll try to pitch us to join a webinar series at the end
(horrors), but I also would say that the paid webinars I’ve
attended that he and Jason ran have been some of the best
investments I’ve made in quite a while. Lance has been working
with both of them for some time, and you might not know him yet,
but you’ll like his style (he’s a member here also, maybe I can
talk him into getting out of the quiet mode).
Anyway, if you want to learn about creating products, spending an
hour or so listening to Robert and Lance for free is the best
investment you can make next week.

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.
