What a fabulous week this has been. It started out rainy, but now
it’s turned absolutely delightful. In the middle, I ran a private
webinar with James Schramko that turned out awesome on the topic of
Traffic and Leverage. You’ll be hearing more about that later (not
today).
So even if nothing else happened, this week was a success. But on
top of that, I invested in a new platform for my affiliate
programs, which is just going to knock your socks off when I get it
going, which will be very soon. Those of you who are currently
promoting some of my products will have an opportunity to increase
your paychecks many times over, and those of you who aren’t
promoting will want to.
You’ll be hearing more about that as well, as soon as it’s ready.
Next week I have to go away for a couple days, sort of being a limo
driver for my wife to take her and a friend of hers to her
volunteer organization’s annual convention in Atlantic City, so I
might be a little less productive, but I’ll catch up.

Actually I mentioned the private Traffic and Leverage webinar with
James, it will be a bonus for seminar attendees.

Let’s talk about James Schramko, since I brought it up and it’s on
my mind. Long time members might remember that he’s been around
almost since the beginning, and if you search the Success threads,
you’ll find him there, back to when he started getting his 1K Days
and telling how he did it:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4947
to later threads including one where he got his first 10K day, and
he hasn’t written about, I think mostly out of modesty, but I
understand he’s had some 100K days.
I also understand he’s looking at an 8-figure income this year, so
I consider myself blessed that he was willing to take the time to
put together a presentation for me this week, as well as respond to
threads in the forum from time to time, even though he has plenty
to keep him busy in his own forum (which I belong to also).
He joined us in November 2007, and didn’t hit his stride until
2008. I’m certainly not taking credit for any success he’s had, I
mention it because some people think you have to pay your dues and
it takes a long time to become successful. James proved otherwise.
Still, it’s not an overnight success story, a lot of work and study
went into his rise to where he is now.
If you’ve never listened to the interview I did with James in March
2009, you should (or listen to it again or read the transcript
again like I did this week in preparing for the webinar):
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7253
But maybe you’ve gone through all that already.
What I didn’t know before recently, until James educated me, is
just how much traffic is out there, if you know how to put yourself
in front of traffic the right way.
He also educated me that there’s no reason to constrain yourself to
tiny niches if you know what you’re doing.
And James, even more than John Reese in my opinion, knows how to
get in front of bucket loads of traffic, in major niches including
but not limited to Internet marketing.
I would recommend that everyone in this forum start following
James, if you aren’t already. Here’s how…
Download his Internet Marketing Speed report from here:
http://www.e1kad.com/imspeed
That’s a step by step guide to succeeding in this business, it’s
free, and best of all it gets you on his email list, through which
he provides excellent value, and very little promoting of the
“launch of the day”.
Be sure to subscribe to James’ blog:
http://www.e1kad.com/imspeedblog
You’ll find some amazing interviews on there that you don’t even
need to optin to listen to or watch.
and I can’t think of a better use for a spare $17 than his video
report, “It’s Not About the Website”:
http://www.e1kad.com/notwebsite
I purchased that recently and watched again this week. James is a
master at leveraging assets to get income from his traffic, and
this will be an eye-opener for you, especially if you watch more
than once.
Plus, if you’re attending the seminar in 3 weeks, you’ll get a copy
of the webinar replay we did this week. If you can’t come to the
seminar, it won’t be placed in the download area, but it will be
available.
There are very few real gurus that genuinely want to help beginning
and intermediate internet marketers, without expectation of income
from high ticket launches.
Fortunately James is one of the genuine good guys, and I value him
as a friend and Earn1KaDay member.

Forum threads of note:
Last week, shortly after the regular email went out, I finished up
the original launch of the Earn1KaDay wikka:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10763
Did you check it out? I was pretty excited at the possibilities it
presents us, but have definitely been underwhelmed at the feedback
I received. One person asked me to attach his user page to the
system, but even he hasn’t developed anything on it yet.
I still think it’s got valuable possibilities. Maybe I’m the only
one, if I am, I’ll admit defeat, it won’t be the first time. Failure
is your friend, after all.

Reminder: If you’re new to Earn1KaDay, or didn’t remember this, all
the weekly emails, from the beginning of time, are archived on the
blog here:

If you ever miss an email, or want to check the archives, you can
always go there and do a search.
Another reminder: I get asked (a lot) about the affiliate program

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.
