SMALL Pic of the new ebook:

The main author (Andy) is a client of mine who happens to sell homes for a living. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the brilliant strategy he’s using only applies to selling real estate though! He’s a brand new real estate agent in central Indiana that is using a VERY SIMPLE strategy to BURY the local competition in the real estate market. In the last 8 months he’s sold over 80 homes without spending any money on advertising. That’s AMAZING…Why should you care?Even if you don’t sell homes for a living you can learn a ton about Internet Marketing by reading this book.What’s his secret?

Step one- He buys pay per click advertising (like Google adwords) to attract customers

Step two- He sends the customers to a simple website we call a “squeeze page” that leads customer into an autopilot email campaign

Step three- He uses a simple strategy to “reel them in” and he sells homes like crazy Step four- He finds partners that pay for his advertising (from step one) and put even more money in his pocket

If that sounds complicated you need to realize that ANYONE can learn to do EXACTLY what I just described in about one hour and apply it to ANY business…even if you barely know how to use email.Who gets the book free? Customers do.  (until January 31,2007) Extended until Feb 15th

I was just interviewed (Monday Jan 15th) as a guest on Entrepreneur Magazine’s “eBiz Show”. We talked about eBooks, eBay, email, creative ideas that are working NOW on the Internet and more. I think you’ll enjoy it! Once you listen to it stop back by here and leave a comment by clicking the comment link below.

I don’t do many interviews…so please let me know how you think I did and what you learned! Critiques welcome!

The show is in four segments. I’m on the last 3 segments only.

TIP: when the host goes to a commercial break you can skip to the next segment without missing anything.

Here’s a link to the interview:

BTW - the interviewer was Chris Malta who I’ve known for years. He has THE BEST wholesale/drop ship/import directory on the planet with a large full time staff updating thousands of sources with millions of products all searchable in a great database.

I have a frustration to vent…is that okay?

After you read this I want your feedback - more on that in a minute.

It has to do with your Internet entrepreneurial success so hang with me here.

If you have kids you know that the cost of attending college is shooting up so fast that it’s scary.

It’s shocking to recall that fifteen years ago I attended a state college and paid a bundle of money to learn a lot of things I NEVER use today. For example, why exactly did I endure a semester of 8AM (Mon,Wed,Fri) “Economic Geography” while pursuing a technology related degree? Someone please answer that…

Of the many courses I took while obtaining my degree I can confidently say that I don’t use ANYTHING I learned in 90% of those classes (as if I can remember any of it anyway).

And yet my degree was 100% necessary to land my first job out of college. So in the end the $50 thousand and five years of my life that I spent on college helped me land a $29 thousand annual salary job - which I was laid off from one year later.

This article isn’t a debate about the usefulness of college though - let’s move on.

The bigger point I’d like to make is that it frustrates me to see so many people who think they can invest three or four hours and $19.99 on an ebook and expect a booming home biz to result. Contrary to most bizop “sales letters” success takes creativity, effort and commitment.

But it ISN’T complicated!

Success lies in understanding the basic tools of the Internet and applying them creatively to grow or start an online biz. I pride myself on being one of the most trusted educators in the “Internet Marketing” arena and I’ve seen some amazing success stories result from everyday people applying simple concepts to simple business ideas.

Let me give you a very recent example.

There is a local real estate agent (Andy) that I’m currently consulting with that has begun to use the simple power of Pay-Per-Click advertising and Email auto responder campaigns to completely DOMINATE his market. Andy is selling 10+ homes per month while most of his colleagues struggle to sell one per month. I’ve even helped him write an eBook about his process that he plans to sell to other real estate agents. The book is the simple steps behind his “amazing system”. NOTE: I’ll be posting his new eBook that we’ve just written to my RESOURCE PAGE* for you to pick up because there are some great lessons for you in it.

The title will be something like, “How I sold 83 homes in 8 months without using open houses, cold calls, or buying leads”.

I know that 99.9% of my readers DON’T sell real estate, but THE LESSONS IN THIS BOOK WILL APPLY TO EVERYONE with an entrepreneurial spirit.

My client Andy knew nothing about Internet marketing 18 months ago, but when he found out that Google.com was earning $8 million EVERY DAY selling Pay per Click advertising he decided to figure out how to use the Internet to sell houses. The rest is an amazing success story.

Conclusion: There is a great business idea inside of every entrepreneur and investing a little time and money in learning the basics of Internet marketing will pay off…even if college never did.

I’ve just posted this article to my blog as well because I want your feedback! How do you feel about an Internet marketing education versus a traditional education? Am I off base? Let’s hear your thoughts…

Make 2007 great!

Meet John…

John is making a KILLING selling eBooks on various topics on eBay RIGHT NOW. He’s been doing it “under the radar” for a long time, but right now he’ll show you his eBay account and tell you how to do it too!

Imagine an eBay product you could sell for 90% profit, unlimited supply and variety, no inventory, no shipping or postage, no website needed, 100% automation, and you get to grow a great customer list while you are doing it…sound impossible?

John is doing the “impossible”.

You have to check out this site:
http://www.jimcockrum.com/ebookjohn.html

He’s a friendly chap from the U.K. - but the rules and opportunities are the same for all eBay users when it comes to eBooks (even us Yankees in the U.S.).

It’s always great to find eBay entrepreneurs that “get it”. John gets it.

Here’s a temporary page he’s set up:
http://www.jimcockrum.com/ebookjohn.html

FYI - John is so sharp that I’m also asking him to contribute in a big way to the new membership website that we are setting up right now as well.  He’ll join several other proven, creative, successful advisers that will be contributing to YOUR success in 2007.

Look for more details on the membership site very soon - and go see John’s site now!
