New partner, outsourcing, personal challenge, and appreciation

by 5buckguy

Wow, what a week. Never have I been so exhausted and exhilarated at
the same time. Many reasons, some of them will come out in this
email.

But first…

Here are this week’s new downloads:

Webinar Pitch Secrets (from Jason Fladlien):

You do want to at least read the report, I guarantee it. Even if
you have no intention to do pitches on webinars.

If you haven’t been paying attention to the forum, you might not
know that I’ve taken on a new partner to help me build my business,
and to build Earn1KaDay into an even better place to visit.

The whole story is here:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11793

Since I wrote that post, though I was in a super excited and happy
frame of mind then, I now feel 10,000% more sure that I made a good
decision. I hope as you see what starts to happen in the near
future, you’ll feel that way also, and that you’ll welcome Rachel
to a more prominent role inside Earn1KaDay.

##########

By the way, one of the first orders of business was to convince her
to do a webinar with me. It was yesterday, and it was everything I
expected, and more. Look for the recording soon.

What Rachel and I would appreciate would be, for those that were
either on the live webinar, or who watch or listen to the live
webinar this weekend or early next week, to give us your feedback.
I personally think it was a very valuable presentation, but we’d
like to know what you think. Please post your thoughts in this
thread:

There is more and more activity in the forum every week, and the
buildup of fabulous threads is astounding. Sometime I’d like to
take a month off and go through them all again, to find the really
golden ones, and promote them to Top Forum Threads. If anybody
wants to help in that project, let me know.

But more than that, I want to make a quick little speech.

As you know, I wrote the report “How to Win Forum Friends and
Influence People” quite a while ago, it’s actually one of the
things I’m proudest of, though it wasn’t something I sold. In it I
almost begged people to stop lurking in their favorite forums and
contribute, because I know the life changing effect that coming out
of my lurker mode around 5 years ago had on me.

So let me say it another way. Probably my favorite motivational
speaker of all time is Zig Ziglar, and I love his quote: “You will
get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what
they want.”

It’s the old pay it forward theory. Help someone today, you’ll get
repaid many times over soon enough.

One of our members was really frantic about losing something like
four years of blog posts, and Spanky came forward and gave him some
advice that got him quickly back in operation. Kudos to Spanky, but
he isn’t the only one. So kudos to all the other caring and
helping people that are actively on the forum doing those kinds of
things.

I really want to put on another drive to get more people to post
more often, whether asking about what’s holding you back, or
helping someone else that’s facing a problem you’ve already solved.

You don’t have to post as often as myself, or Judy, or Michael, or
some of the others, but we really do want to know what’s working
and not working for you. Please.

Our Earn1KaDay community is truly special, and the more that you
and everyone else is a part of that specialness, the better for us
all.

Please, look for opportunities to help others, and don’t be shy to
ask for help, and together we’ll keep moving forward.

Thank you very, very much.

Forum threads of note:

Here’s an example of a truly helpful post. Sudha needed some tools,
and one day recently decided to go through the download archives to
see if there was something here.

Now that’s not a quick task with over 500 items, but after some
time, came up with a couple tools that were helpful:

Honestly, I don’t remember uploading one of them, but now other
members have come forward and are going to use it. Thanks, Sudha.

I set up a new Wikka page to help clarify things here, it isn’t
totally finished yet, but some people were having a problem seeing
the mind map on the page. Ian gave advice on the problem (on the
viewer’s end), so if you could check it out, I’d appreciate it. You

From Hendra, when outsourcing, do you use your real identity?

Judy has a cautionary concern about using the Quick Site Indexer
tool that I gave you last week. It seems like there’s no problem,
and I have had very good feedback from others that have tried it:

Speaking of Judy, she’s going to start charging people to read her
posts in the forum:

Ha, ha, not likely, Judy.

Teresa’s got second thoughts about buying a domain name that
contains a trademark. Again the common advice is don’t:

Last week Judy started a thread about organization, this time it’s
about momentum. There are some absolutely brilliant replies in this
thread, don’t miss it, and please post your own thoughts:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11798

Momentum is the whole idea behind Earn1KaDay, after all. I started
it with the realization that if you can get someone to make a
thousand dollars in a day just once, it will happen more and more
in the future.

Richard’s tired of some of those headlines that come to his inbox.

One of Rachel’s first ideas to be implemented will be an Earn1KaDay

and, she posted a link to a really awesome post she made on her

That girl can write! :-)

Here’s a great thread that our member of the month started, asking

Can you help Jeannie set a selling price for a site:

I guess she’s asking because her favorite site to suggest a price

James had a pretty good week, and shared his method:

Yep, a new 25K income stream is certainly a good week.

Would you be interested in seeing Rachel and I do a personal
challenge and documenting the results?
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11819

If we do go through with this, it will start September 1st.

##########

And last but certainly not least, we’re going to start giving more
emphasis on the Earn1KaDay blog. I’ve always been posting the weekly
email archives there, but now I’m going to try to post at least two
meaty articles a week, and I asked Rachel to do the same, and I’ll
be looking for some guest bloggers as well (PM me if interested).

So please check out our blog (link below), and watch the blog become
another one of the helpful resources within Earn1KaDay.

##########

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:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/wp/

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
to Earn1KaDay. A thread was set up long ago with details, here:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=417

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.
