Chris Carpenter’s new book

If you’ve heard of the best selling book “Google Cash” then you know Chris Carpenter…

Use this link

http://www.jimcockrum.com/ReadThisFreeBook.html

To get his latest book FREE! It will open your eyes up to a whole new “copy cat” strategy that is amazingly simple.

 

For the last 48 hours I’ve been haunted by a little 40 page book I just read. I even told Andrea (my wife) all about it and I rarely do that because she really isn’t into Internet marketing stuff AT ALL. You need to read it too. That’s what that link is above.

The book (free) contains a simple new strategy that allows you to:

-Do a Google.com search for ANY search term

-Determine which sponsored ads (pay per click) are the most PROFITABLE on Google for that term

-Copy the strategy being used by the ad owner of the profitable ads

-Automate and “monetize” the whole thing in minutes and move on to the next score

The power is in knowing which ads (with 99.9% certainty) are making a killing for the ad owner and then plugging into the SAME affiliate program they are using.

In order to automate the entire process you will have to buy Chris’s software when it comes out, but that is a nominal expense copared to the potential of this strategy.

The end of excuses. The one hour income stream.


What’s your excuse for not having multiple income streams?

I launched a new income stream with less than an hour of total work over the last couple days. I’ll give you all the details in a moment.

We live in a time where you can launch income streams in an afternoon. At no other time in human history has that been possible.

It’s a virtual paradise for entrepreneurs!You know all those ideas that hit you in the middle of the night or while you are playing with your kids? Figure out a simple way to act on them. Even if 9 out of 10 ideas don’t take root don’t sweat it. Keep going. Failure is a part of this business, but failure has never been less expensive thanks to the Internet.

The below example is an income stream I launched for my family during the past two days - and I promise I’m as busy as ANYONE right now with the same stuff that keeps us all busy.

The reason I’m busier than usual is that Andrea (my wife) is visiting our next adopted daughter in Guatemala right now. She had a chance to go meet her for a few days and we have the freedom to jump on such opportunities. It’s quite a blessing. We hope to have our first daughter home before Christmas this year.

While my wife is out of the country (she has been for several days, but comes home tonight THANK YOU GOD) I have all four boys (age 4,4,7,10) myself. The only reason I’m able to do this article is that my mom and dad are over helping out today. The boys and I are having a blast since it’s “just the guys”. We’ve been doing things like playing outside, setting up sheet tents in the living room, trashing the house, staying up late, and watching Sponge Bob.

I think I may have said too much there… …BUT one of the side effects is that Dad isn’t getting hardly any work done! Over the last two days working a few minutes here and there I managed to pull off the following though (it takes longer to write this article than to do this stuff): I had an idea while I was playing outside.

When a I had a couple of minutes I did about 2 minutes of research on this site:

http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

…and found a topic that gets about 20,000 yahoo searches per month related to my idea. There are literally thousands of such ideas available that you could take.

Next, I bought a domain name related to that keyword. Total cost under $20 for two years. Thank you GoDaddy.com. Then I wrote a simple but informative short article on a topic related to my domain name and posted my article to the site I’d bought. It took maybe 15 minutes. I could have used a free article from ezinearticles.com as well.

The next step was to monetize my site. Show me the money, right? For this I simply added Google Adsense code. Couldn’t be easier. It’s all copy/paste simple. Maybe 3-4 minutes on this step. Done. Now let’s get some traffic… I recorded a simple video about my topic and posted it to YouTube.com. The cost was 20 minutes of my time. The video doesn’t show me (although I am strikingly handsome). It’s just text and my voice. Simple. In that YouTube.com video (and in the text description that youtube.com requires) I mention the website and informational article from the previous steps.

Today I woke up to find that my video has already been viewed several times and it isn’t even appearing in the YouTube search index yet. Based on similar videos I’ve seen on YouTube I can easily expect thousands of viewers over the next year if not tens of thousands. I suspect that within a few days the video will have a decent rank on Google as well because they LOVE video over at Google. Google will rank me based on the keywords used in my description on YouTube.com.

I’ve only made 50 cents or so in the first 12 hours, but more is coming I promise. Total projected monthly income: $25-$60 Total time invested: well under one hour

What’s your excuse for not having multiple Internet income streams?

Leave me your thoughts PLEASE- I’d love to discuss it or clarify any step that isn’t clear. Have a way to improve on the idea? POST IT!

I’d like to give you my next book

If you aren’t aware of it there is a SEVERE upheaval in the publishing industry right now. Traditional publishers are scrambling for the next hard cover “big hit” while most of the projects they take on never make a dime of profit. I learned last year that if a traditional non-fiction book sells several hundred copies it is considered a success. The vast majority of “off the shelf” books never even sell that many copies.

The old trend of “begging publishers” to consider your book is a dying model. The new model is SELF-PUBLISHING.

The big New York publishing houses are beginning to chase down successful self publishers and in some cases they are forced to all place BIDS on getting publishing rights to a proven self published book. In many cases it makes no sense to allow a traditional publisher to take on your book project because then you have to share profit and it’s not always worth the benefits they offer!

Traditional publishers are losing power fast.

I’ve been told that I could put my book “The Silent Sales Machine” into print and make a killing by having a New York Publisher take on the proven title. The book has sold tens of thousands of copies online, but I refuse to do it. An off the shelf book can’t be updated and resent to all past customers!

All of these factors made me want to write ANOTHER book…and I want to give it to you.

For about 18 months I’ve been working on a book that details the success stories of several self-publishing entrepreneurs.

All of the success stories are people we’ve talked to that have compiled (not necessarily written) books, homemade dvd’s, ebooks, PDF reports etc. on various topics and turned those simple products into Internet empires.

We’ve interviewed them, listened to how they pulled it off, learned a TON and now we can’t wait to show you the tools, strategies and simple formulas they used to succeed.

I don’t even have a title yet for my new book, but it will be something about self publishing. We expect the book to be available soon in ebook format only.

You’ll get a copy free if you are a current member of MySilentTeam.com when the book is released. We’ll likely sell it for around $49 or so by itself.

Stay tuned…
