<strong>* New Style Posts</strong><br />

<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====</p>
<p><strong><big><big>* New Style Posts</big></big></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://randolfsmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/011_009.gif"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-875" title="011_009" src="http://randolfsmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/011_009-150x150.gif" alt="New Rambles From Randy" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Hello again and welcome to my inbetween post <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
lol &#8211; I&#8217;m calling it an inbetween post as I&#8217;m changing my style&#8230;</p>
<p>No Longer will you see lengthy rambles posted around every couple of weeks, It&#8217;s all change for me now.<br />
I&#8217;m going to try and post shorter posts and more often after todays ramble.</p>
<p>This has come about because I&#8217;ve been set in my ways for a good while, and as we all know Change happens whether we like it or not!<br />
So it&#8217;s time I moved with the times and changed the way I do things too <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <em> (or at least give it a try)</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not getting the open rates I used to get, so all those years of building relationships with my list hasn&#8217;t really paid off &#8211; as they stopped reading anyways &#8211; so I might as well join the rest of the IM Party and email more often at the risk of upsetting people and causing them not to read my emails&#8230;. OH WAIT &#8211; they aren&#8217;t anyways&#8230; haha<br />
But writing out long rambles daily would be far too much work and leave me with no time for anything else &#8211; hence I&#8217;m also taking advantage of a new site where I can get ideas for email content and adapt them to send much more quickly than writing them out myself.<br />
I&#8217;ll tell you about the site once the owner has a discount arranged, as it&#8217;s currently $97 a month which isn&#8217;t affordable to a lot of the folks who do still read my ramblings!<br />
But after speaking to him &#8211; he is sorting a deal&#8230; so watch this space <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Meanwhile I thought I&#8217;d start by posting yesterdays email below to show you the kind of thing I&#8217;ll be doing from now on&#8230;&#8230;<br />
More of an infotainment message rather than a long ramble&#8230; so hopefully you&#8217;ll get some good advice in shorter posts, and I&#8217;ll benefit by linking to a good offer that is loosely related to the lesson learned <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So I&#8217;ll no longer have the table of contents, the multiple posts or the sign off&#8230;.<br />
Just a title date and straight into it.</p>
<p>Time will tell whether it&#8217;s a good move, bad move or of no difference to the few who still turn up here for my rambles <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <em>(fingers crossed that you&#8217;ll like the post)</em></p>
<p>So let&#8217;s get straight into it with the lessons Lord Alan Sugar can teach us <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></em></span><br />
=====</p>
<p><strong> <big><big><small><small><big><big></big></big></small></small></big></big><big><big>* </big></big><big><big>No BS Advice From Lord Alan Sugar</big></big></strong></p>
<p><em></em>One of the most compelling TV shows here in the UK is The Apprentice&#8230;<br />
But instead of Donald Trump, we have Lord Alan Sugar.</p>
<p>You may know him as the straight-talking &#8220;barrow boy&#8221; from East London who ran Amstrad&#8230;<br />
Or the former chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club who employed Christian Gross as manager&#8230; <em>(Not everybody gets it right all of the time!)</em></p>
<p>I am fan of Lord Sugar because he&#8217;s a self made man, and recently I&#8217;ve taken some notes from his autobiography. In fact, it&#8217;s a great business training from one of the sharpest minds the UK has produced.<br />
So today I wanted to share a few quotes and how they can help you become more successful online&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s what you do in practice that gains you business credibility, not hype or empty promises. I guess it comes down to the old adage: actions speak louder than words&#8221;</strong></em></span></p>
<p><strong>He&#8217;s obviously not seen a Clickbank launch..</strong>.<br />
But, being serious, it&#8217;s true.<br />
I see marketers talk themselves up all day long on Facebook about how they are going to do this and that&#8230;</p>
<p>And the next day I see them&#8230;<br />
Well, talking about how they are going to do this and that.<br />
How about doing it, instead?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s not what you say, it&#8217;s what you do. Time is your greatest friend if you really want to show who you are&#8221;</strong></em></span></p>
<p>Success does not come overnight but if you are willing to invest the time and effort, it WILL happen.<br />
Too often I see would-be marketers jack it in because they haven&#8217;t made a million dollars a week after throwing up a WordPress blog.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong> &#8220;My philosophy was: if we&#8217;re going to piss £1m up the wall on a campaign, I want it all spent on the actual advertising; I don&#8217;t want a large chunk of the budget wasted on production and creative fees&#8221;</strong></em></span></p>
<p>Aspiring marketers are hemorrhaging money all over the place on products, memberships and training they don&#8217;t need&#8230;<br />
While simultaneously NOT doing the very thing they SHOULD be doing to make money&#8230;MARKETING!</p>
<p>Incidentally, if you love Lord Sugar&#8217;s straight-talking, zero-hype style then this product <strong>Revenue Redemption</strong> is perfect for you!<br />
<strong>It slices through the BS that plagues the industry, and can help you boost your sales conversions by up to 350%</strong><br />
<strong> You can get more details here:</strong><br />

<p>Talk Soon,<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></em></span><br />
P.S. If you are interested in you need to act fast. Like Lord Sugar, It&#8217;s been priced attractively on a dime sale, but it&#8217;s going up with every sale!<br />

Though I&#8217;ll probably keep the final tag line as it&#8217;s my life philosophy <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<strong>* Catch Up </strong><br />
<strong> * Did You Spot These?<big><big><br />
</big></big>* Meet Ups Cancelled!</strong><br />
<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====</p>
<p><strong> <big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Ey Up, It&#8217;s MAY already!<br />
I think it&#8217;s Tuesday too &#8211; lol &#8230;<br />
Apologies &#8211; Rachel and I went to Manchester for the weekend to meet up and<strong> &#8216;network&#8217;</strong> with some online marketing friends, and networking as you know takes a lot out of you <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<em>(Well a lot out of our wallets and the life out of our livers &#8230; haha)</em><br />
Seriously, a massive thank you to <strong><a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/partymonkey" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/partymonkey?referer=');">Simon Hodgkinson</a></strong> for organizing the event, and all the cool guys who showed up to share their knowledge and help Manchester&#8217;s pubs make a profit!<br />
And no &#8211; I wont be name dropping, suffice to say some great guys were there and we all had a great weekend with good food, plenty of drinks and a lot of conversations&#8230;. Plus the usual first rule applies &#8211; &#8220;We Don&#8217;t Talk About Fight Club&#8221;&#8230; wait wrong movie line&#8230; should it be &#8220;What Happens In Manchester Stays In Manchester!&#8221; &#8211; just doesn&#8217;t sound the same as Vegas does it&#8230;lol<br />
<strong>And YES &#8211; I did get a round or two in!!</strong><br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.randolfsmith.com/images/IMG_0364.JPG" alt="Yes - I did get a round in!" width="705" height="529" /></p>
<p>Anyways, I have been working too since my last post <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Simon and I managed 14th place in John Thornhill&#8217;s JV competition for <a href="http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/1mm" target="_blank">One Month Mentor</a>, We&#8217;ve also been planning out our next piece of Simple Software and will be getting stuck into the coding in the next day or so <em>(well Simon will be while I nag him as to how much he&#8217;s done&#8230; lol)</em></p>
<p>And I did the updates for <strong><a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com?referer=');">RandysMoreMonthly</a></strong> <strong>adding over 40 products to download this month!</strong></p>
<p>Meanwhile we did add a redeveloped simple graphic creator to the <a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/JVZoo" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/JVZoo?referer=');">JVZoo platform</a>.<br />
<strong>We called it:</strong><br />
<strong> <a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/SimpleGraphicsCreator" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/SimpleGraphicsCreator?referer=');">Simple Graphic Creator</a></strong> &#8211; cos it&#8217;s simple to use and saves hours of learning photoshop as well as a heap of cash! It&#8217;s priced at just <a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/SimpleGraphicsCreator" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/SimpleGraphicsCreator?referer=');">$7 for lifetime access</a>, but we have emailed our buyers list of <a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/LinkSupercharger" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/LinkSupercharger?referer=');">LinkSupercharger</a> and offered it free to anyone who bought and might want to help promote it <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
So if you haven&#8217;t bought <a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/LinkSupercharger" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/LinkSupercharger?referer=');">LinkSupercharger</a> &#8211; feel free to take a look and then shout me for free access to<strong> <a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/SimpleGraphicsCreator" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/SimpleGraphicsCreator?referer=');">Simple Graphic Creator</a> <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p>We will be adding <a href="http://simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/LinkSupercharger" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/simplesimonsoftware.com/recommends/LinkSupercharger?referer=');">LinkSupercharger</a> to the <a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/WarriorForum" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/WarriorForum?referer=');">Warrior Forum</a> as a WSO now that all testing and trial sales are complete, so watch out for that in the next few days <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So that&#8217;s what&#8217;s been keeping me busy on my own sites, but I&#8217;ve also been helping John Thornhill with his webinars for his amazing<strong> <a href="http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/P2SwebRec" target="_blank">Partnership To Success Program</a></strong><br />
<em>(Hoping as I write that he still has a replay available for me to link to&#8230; if so I&#8217;ll add it so you can check it out)</em></p>
<p>And naturally &#8211; Simon and I have been buying and checking products that we think may be of use, quite a few actually &#8211; but unfortunately we can&#8217;t recommend all of them, but will add links to some below <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well &#8211; that was a short catch up, guess I must have been working too much&#8230; haha <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<em>(That&#8217;s what comes of not buying Wellies to walk through our drought ridden streets here in the UK!! &#8211; and apologies to anyone who is flooded out, I don&#8217;t mean to make fun &#8230; It&#8217;s just the hosepipe bans are still in force and they tell us we are in a bad drought with water shortages while we drive through feet of water on our roads!!)</em></p>
<p>There&#8217;ll be no camping out for Rachel and I while it&#8217;s like this! &#8211; that&#8217;s for sure!!</p>
<p>Right &#8211; back to work&#8230; chat soon <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

=====</p>
<p><strong> <big><big><small><small><big><big></big></big></small></small></big></big><big><big>* </big></big><big><big>Did You Spot These?</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Here are a few of the products we CAN recommend that we&#8217;ve had access to over the last couple of weeks <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<em>(I don&#8217;t see the point in wasting space telling you what ones we bought and thought were rubbish!)</em></p>
<p><strong>Product 1 :   Speedy Profit Creator</strong><br />
<strong><a title="Speedy Profit Creator" href="http://www.imnicamail.com/v4/tl.php?p=2d23/2ot9/rs/455/3dn/rs/Speedy%20Profit%20Creator/http%3A%2F%2Fsimplesimonsoftware.com%2Frecommends%2Fspeedy" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.imnicamail.com/v4/tl.php?p=2d23/2ot9/rs/455/3dn/rs/Speedy_20Profit_20Creator/http_3A_2F_2Fsimplesimonsoftware.com_2Frecommends_2Fspeedy&amp;referer=');">http://simplesimonsoftware.<wbr>com/recommends/speedy</wbr></a></strong></p>
<p>The EASY way to create beautiful, perfectly formatted ebooks in PDF format.  Seriously &#8211; This product is just &#8220;copy and paste&#8221; and it spits out a complete, ready for sale ebook that looks like you have paid hundreds of dollars for an expert to create!</p>
<p>And,  if you already have products for sale<br />
<em>(or you create them with Speedy Profit Creator above)</em> then you might want to think about selling them via  Pay Per View!  Heck,  your cable company sells you movies via Pay Per View and it works for them doesn&#8217;t it ??  Why not sell your ebooks via Pay Per View with this :</p>
<p><strong>Product 2 :   WPPayPerView</strong><br />
<strong><a title="wpPPV" href="http://www.imnicamail.com/v4/tl.php?p=2d23/2ot9/rs/455/3dn/rs/wpPPV/http%3A%2F%2Fsimplesimonsoftware.com%2Frecommends%2FPPV" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.imnicamail.com/v4/tl.php?p=2d23/2ot9/rs/455/3dn/rs/wpPPV/http_3A_2F_2Fsimplesimonsoftware.com_2Frecommends_2FPPV&amp;referer=');">http://simplesimonsoftware.<wbr>com/recommends/PPV</wbr></a></strong></p>
<p>This is one of the best cash generators we have seen in a long time!  In a nutshell this powerful WordPress plugin lets you monetize your blog with a few clicks!  If you have ANY kind of content to sell <em>(whether it&#8217;s blog posts, ebooks, videos, training, plr, MRR etc&#8230;) </em>then you NEED this plugin right now!</p>
<p>There is NOTHING else like this anywhere &#8211; we really wish we had thought of it first LOL!<br />
It uses the latest tech to allow you to set up<em> (with just a couple of clicks)</em> any kind of profitable payment or subscription plan on your blog!  It even integrates with Twitter and Facebook.  Seriously &#8211; You can charge people to view blog posts, download ebooks, access content, watch videos, gain entry to membership sites &#8211; whatever you like and all you have to do is point and click to get money in the bank!! <em>(It&#8217;s also being offered at an 85% discount at the moment for &#8216;early birds&#8217;)</em></p>
<p><strong>Products 3 and 4 are a couple of older ones that have had NEW content added to make them even better value!</strong></p>
<p>Both are Kindle related, and Both are very good products that have had a heap of new content added since I last reviewed them!&#8230; so do pop over and check them!<em><br />

Thankfully &#8211; there are always some great products coming out to compensate for some not so good ones&#8230;lol &#8211; Just make sure when you do yours that they are the good ones, it does work better in the long term for your reputation!!<br />
OK &#8211; back to it I reckon&#8230;.<br />

<p><strong> <big><big>* Meet Ups &#8211; Cancelled Til Further Notice</big></big><big><big><br />
</big></big></strong><br />
OK &#8211; This seems to have been on the cards with the falling numbers I&#8217;ve been seeing attending. All the regulars are now busy working on their businesses, so I hope it&#8217;s due to some of the tips they picked up from coming&#8230;.lol<br />
And the sporadic attendees have either got stuck in or been frightened off the internet cos we didn&#8217;t hold any punches when it came to telling folks they had to work at their online business, and there were no magic solutions&#8230;.. haha</p>
<p>So until some time I feel happy losing money on the venue again, I&#8217;ve cancelled all future meet ups!<br />
So John Thornhill may just finally convince me to hold them in his office for a chunk more cash! <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Thanks to all of you guys who have attended over the last 5 years, and good luck with your marketing <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>In this Post<br />
<strong>* Catch Up </strong><br />
<strong> * These Tools Helped With Our Launch</strong><br />
<strong> * Just Released &#8211; Something Old &amp; Something New</strong><br />
<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====</p>
<p><strong> <big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Excuse the wedding theme&#8230; nothing to do with weddings really, BUT &#8211; do scroll to the section for more details <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Then you&#8217;ll see why I chose the phrase!</p>
<p><strong>But First:</strong><br />
I wanted to say a <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">BIG Thank You</span></strong> to everyone who has supported our launch of<br />
<strong><a href="../recommendz/LinkSupercharger" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/LinkSupercharger </a></strong><br />
<a href="../recommendz/LinkSupercharger"><img src="http://www.randolfsmith.com/images/250X250a.gif" alt="Hot Page Creation And Link Redirection Software" /></a></p>
<p>If you bought it and it&#8217;s working well for you &#8211; great.</p>
<p>We have had some issues with certain servers, and thanks to the support tickets from our fantastic customers, Simon was able to get to the bottom of it in super quick time!<br />
<strong>He has already updated the software to a new version</strong> that fixes the server issue, so if you had problems and haven&#8217;t added a ticket &#8211; just log in and grab the free update <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Also &#8211; thanks to support desk feedback, we&#8217;ve created more videos and added them to the relevant pages!<br />
So thanks again for keeping in touch <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I already mentioned we got Product Of The Day last Wednesday (28th March), Well the sales since then have kept coming in, and we&#8217;ve picked up even more affiliates!<br />
So thank you if you&#8217;ve promoted, bought or commented anywhere for us <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Thanks to all the positive comments, we&#8217;ve even had affiliates we wouldn&#8217;t have dreamed of asking, actually &#8216;Request&#8217; an affiliate link from us!</p>
<p>And if you haven&#8217;t checked out the software yet, Now would be a good time while it&#8217;s still on offer <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
While I&#8217;m here &#8211; I did want to give some credit to TWO pieces of software that helps a great deal&#8230;. See below!</p>
<p>Chat soon<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></em></span><br />
=====</p>
<p><big><big><small><small><big><big></big></big></small></small></big></big><strong><big><big>* These Tools Helped With Our Launch</big></big><big><big></big></big></strong></p>
<p>Our launch is doing extremely well, In fact, I think it&#8217;s the biggest of my 12 years online for me <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<em>(happy dance&#8230;lol)</em></p>
<p>So I want to be sure you know about TWO pieces of software that have helped.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Firstly</strong></span>, we&#8217;ve had a heap of comments and congrats etc. on Facebook, and I&#8217;m sure my facebook reach wouldn&#8217;t get as much attention if it wasn&#8217;t for some of my facebook fan pages getting my name out there!<br />
I still need to get them redone thanks to the new timelines and changes FB are making, so I&#8217;ll be popping back into <strong><a href="../recommendz/lpbpro/" target="_blank">LikePage Builder</a></strong> to edit them.<br />
<a href="../recommendz/lpbpro/" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/lpbpro/</a><br />
The good news is that Dave &amp; John have<strong> INCLUDED the $197 upgrade in with the price of this WSO</strong>.<br />
So if you don&#8217;t have your pages sorted yet&#8230;  It&#8217;s well worth considering!</p>
<p>&#8212;-</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>The Second Software Tool</strong></span> that has had a Massive Impact for our launch&#8230;<br />
<em>(and this is a major key to any launch you may ever do)</em><br />
Was having the ability to make it Super Easy to add an affiliate tools page to our site&#8230;.</p>
<p>You know &#8211; the ones you see where it makes it simple for an affiliate to add their id and push a button, then all the tools, emails, posts, graphics etc. are rebranded with their links ready to cut and paste<br />
into their sites.<br />
Personally I wouldn&#8217;t know where to start&#8230;lol<br />
Simon does, being the techy behind our software he could easily write some code to do it all&#8230;..</p>
<p><strong>BUT</strong> &#8211; when I showed him what my friend Keith Purkiss had created, It would seem FOOLISH to waste time trying to write code and test it and waste a couple of weeks on it<br />
When all we had to do was login to Keiths <strong><a href="../recommendz/SAP" target="_blank">Super Affiliate Page software</a></strong><br />
<a href="../recommendz/SAP" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/SAP</a><br />
Add a few emails and graphics, and PUSH a Button!<br />
The software then created our page for us!</p>
<p>Thankfully Simon was on hand to download the page and upload it to our own site&#8230;. But Hey &#8211; Keith even has it so if that&#8217;s too techy, He Hosts It For You!<br />
You really can&#8217;t go wrong for the price!<br />
And Keith has just added it as a JVZoo special after seeing how popular the platform is from our launch!</p>
<p>Check it out here:<br />
<strong><a href="../recommendz/SAP" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/SAP</a></strong><br />
If you&#8217;re a non techy like me, You&#8217;ll love it! <em>(And Keith is a guy who will help if you get stuck &#8211; so do hit him up if you need to!)</em><br />
If you are techy, I&#8217;d bet like Simon you wont see the point in all that effort coding yourself when this is so cheap!</p>
<p>OK &#8211; those programs are good and they helped us, I hope they can help you too!</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></span></em><br />
=====</p>
<p><strong> <big><big>* Just Released &#8211; Something Old &amp; Something New</big></big></strong></p>
<p>OK &#8211; So why the wedding sounding title?<br />
Well to start with there is <strong>NOTHING Blue here&#8230; so there&#8217;s no colour of feeling Sad</strong>&#8230;. phew<br />
Just something Old and Something new &#8211; and a <em>sort of Marriage</em>, but not really&#8230;.lol</p>
<p>OK ok, I&#8217;ll get on with it. <em>(just wanted to smirk at my self for the original way I got these two products tied in with the classic wedding statement <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong> The Something Old</strong></span> refers to <strong><a href="../recommendz/lucidseo" target="_blank">Lucid SEO</a></strong>, A complete manual showing how David Congreave got 1.6 MILLION targeted visitors to his site after studying all he could on SEO!<br />
What he did was condense all the SEO strategies down to the fundamentals. His goal was to allow anyone to drive search engine traffic, without the need to understand every last inch of search engine science. &#8211; Sounds a good idea to me&#8230;lol</p>
<p>You can get parts of the product as individual reports that David wrote a while back &#8211; <em>(Hence the something old part as he released this in the past as a hefty membership)</em>, or you can grab the lot in one fell swoop with his JVZoo offer!</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re into SEO and would like to see how all that traffic came about, then this could be worthwhile taking note of!<br />
<em>(By The Way &#8211; There was a freebie report you can grab if you just want a taste of how David writes!)</em> <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So feel free to check it out &#8211; <strong><a title="Lucid Seo" href="http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/lucidseo">Lucid Seo</a></strong><br />
&#8212;-<br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><strong>OK &#8211; On to the sort of Marriage and Something New <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></span><br />
I have a couple of friends from a private high ticket forum who <em>seem to have got Married!!!</em>&#8230; Well they are spending so much time together they may as well be&#8230;.LOL<br />
<em>(I don&#8217;t think their offline spouses would approve of my writing this actually)</em>&#8230; haha</p>
<p>OK &#8211; They&#8217;re not married, and are only spending many hours together daily to get their new product finished&#8230;. And they JUST DID!<br />
From an initial shared interest in the new social site that Everyone seems to be raving about &#8211; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">They Teamed Up</span> to create the most comprehensive guide they could on the site, How it works and <strong> HOW to USE it safely to benefit</strong> from the extra Traffic and Income it has been making for a lot of folks!</p>
<p><strong>The Site is Pinterest, in case you wondered, and their product is <a href="../recommendz/Pinit" target="_blank">NonStoPinterest</a>!</strong><br />
Bet you didn’t know you could have some fun while building your business! You can with Pinterest!<em> (apparently)</em> <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The site might seem a bit confusing at first and… <em><strong>(Or is that just ME?)</strong></em><br />
Well this hot new book goes into great detail about everything you need to know about this new hot social network. It will save a whole bunch of time getting set up and raking in traffic.</p>
<p>Chris and Lisa have put a lot into this product so that You&#8217;ll be able to get a head start on your competition and become a Pinterest PRO to&#8230;<br />
•   <strong> Link Your Social Media Accounts:</strong> No-one follows you everywhere so cross-promotion is essential!<br />
•    <strong>Set Your Boards For Maximinum Impact</strong> to get your visitors to realize that YOU are the authority figure in your chosen niche.<br />
•    <strong>Entice Followers:</strong> Don&#8217;t forget, this is above all, a social network which means followers of your content are critical to your success.<br />
•    <strong>Get repinned!</strong> &#8211; because the whole idea of pinning your posts is to get them repinned. They&#8217;ll show you how to make that happen.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it have been cool if you&#8217;d been offered important information like this when you joined Twitter and Facebook? Do you think you could have made more money if you’d known the rules of the game and how to gain the advantage?<br />
Get the comprehensive, no holds barred, brand new and exciting <a title="Pinterest" href="http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/Pinit">NonStoPinterest right here</a>…</p>
<p><a href="../recommendz/Pinit" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/Pinit</a></p>
<p><em>On a personal level,</em> I am thrilled they finally finished this so I can give a copy to my Rachel, as she will love having fun while building her business!<br />
So do at least check it out for yourself too <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
And if you want to learn from people who&#8217;ve LIVED the site 24/7 for weeks now&#8230;. <em>it may help their real world marriages if you buy it and give them some genuine feedback on how it&#8217;s helped you <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>

In terms of being busy &#8211; the time has flown by&#8230;.<br />
But in online terms &#8211; That&#8217;s an AGE!<br />
I&#8217;ve gone down in rankings &#8211; so be sure to post regular updates on your<br />
own blogs, or you might suffer a similar fate&#8230;lol</p>
<p>I have been saying for weeks that I should post &#8211; but with all the<br />
final bits and pieces on a couple of projects, plus family stuff and<br />
general enjoying the weather finally picking up here in the UK&#8230; I<br />
guess I just didn&#8217;t get around to it.</p>
<p>So as usual &#8211; this will probably be a huge post detailing what I&#8217;ve<br />
been up to&#8230;lol</p>
<p>Actually &#8211; I&#8217;ll try and keep the topics limited and related so I don&#8217;t<br />
bore you too much&#8230; haha</p>
<p><strong>On the Home Front</strong> &#8211; Camping season is about here, so Rachel, myself and<br />
her girls will be looking forward to getting out for some weekends in<br />
the wild, along with some friends and family who share a similar<br />
passion for the great outdoors. We&#8217;ve also bought some new bits and<br />
bobs to take with us&#8230; Like our new Hammocks from DD Hammocks that<br />
have mosi nets attached and water proof bases so they can double up as<br />
a tent when used with a tarp&#8230;.<em> (Sorry &#8211; nothing to do with anything</em><br />
<em> but we&#8217;re excited at the thought of getting them out and using them</em><br />
<em> this coming weekend <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</em></p>
<p><strong>On the IM Front,</strong> I&#8217;ve told my techy partner Simon to do the last few<br />
tweaks of our software so I could get a heap of new products added to <a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com?referer=');">RandysMoreMonthly.com</a><br />
as it was around a month ago that I posted with this months update!</p>
<p><strong>So yeah &#8211; the site has been updated with next months downloads <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com?referer=');"><img style="border: 0px solid; width: 450px; height: 307px;" src="http://www.randolfsmith.com/images/collection-transsmall.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>There are the usual 16 products in the main download area, and a<br />
further 15 in the forum bonus area!<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">That&#8217;s THIRTY ONE IM Products with MRR or PLR for just $14!</span></p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re a member go have fun grabbing anything that might be<br />
useful to learn from or sell on <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<big><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #990000;">And if you&#8217;re not a member:</span></big><br />
Do pop along and take a chance&#8230; You can cancel at anytime&#8230; but<br />
trust me when I tell you not many people do when they see this sort of<br />
value on a monthly basis.</p>
<p><strong>Plus</strong> &#8211; even if you do &#8211; you&#8217;ll have all these products AND access to<br />
the last couple of months too, So I reckon for a $14 investment -<br />
that&#8217;s better value that all those firesales people keep having for a<br />
few products at a lot more money <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>(Hehe &#8211; that save a couple of minutes just editing last months mention</em><br />
<em> of <a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com?referer=');">RandysMoreMonthly</a>)</em></p>
<p><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">As for the new product final bits of development&#8230;..</big></big></p>
<p>Well I did say another couple of weeks&#8230;<br />
I guess I should have said a couple of couple of weeks LOL</p>
<p>But yeah, we are just days away from launching so I&#8217;ll share some<br />
videos further down this post <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Just before that, I&#8217;ll share some hassles we had and what our solution<br />
was.. In fact &#8211; let&#8217;s get right into that&#8230;..</p>
<p><big><big><small><small><big><big style="color: #3333ff; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Randy</span></big></big></small></small></big></big></p>
<p>=====</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><big><big>* CB, W+ Or JVZoo</big></big></span></p>
<p>OK, You&#8217;ve got your new product ready for launch and all that&#8217;s left to<br />
do is add a payment button and you&#8217;re ready to go&#8230;</p>
<p>You pop over to clickbank as you usually do <em>(or have been told to do</em><br />
<em> for years</em>) to register it so you can gain affiliates to promote it&#8230;.</p>
<p><big style="font-weight: bold; color: #cc0000;">Or Do You?</big></p>
<p>Once over 99% of all your mentors or gurus will have said to get it on<br />
clickbank &#8230; <strong>But not anymore!</strong></p>
<p>Due to changes within clickbank, as well as the popularity of things<br />
like Warrior Special Offers on the Warrior forum&#8230; <strong>MANY people now</strong><br />
<strong> seem to be using alternative payment processors and affiliate programs.</strong></p>
<p>The challenge is obviously picking the right one!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not a big name with a huge list &#8211; then using your own isn&#8217;t<br />
going to get you a bucket load of affiliates. So that is ruled out for<br />
most of us right away.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re then left with some alternatives, and the choice of alternative<br />
programs seems to be growing&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>PayDotCom</strong> has been around for a while, But I know many people who don&#8217;t<br />
like it for two main reasons. <strong>1</strong> &#8211; Their fees tend to be higher, and <strong>2</strong> -<br />
It&#8217;s still down to the product owner to remember to pay affiliates <em>(and</em><br />
<em> some affiliates just don&#8217;t trust you to pay them&#8230; hence they wont</em><br />
<em> promote you!)</em></p>
<p><strong>Clickbank</strong> always was an affiliates favourite, and for a long time had<br />
no real competition. <em>(There are others like <strong>Plimus</strong> who do a similar job</em><br />
<em> &#8211; but they never did get enough of a good reputation to be used by more</em><br />
<em> than a handful of marketers I&#8217;ve personally seen use it, and we</em><br />
<em> naturally want something EVERYONE trusts!)</em></p>
<p>However &#8211; lately, even some die hard clickbank super affiliates have<br />
been moving away from them due to their new policies on refund rates.<br />
<strong>Apparently if your refund rate exceeds 15% you get fined!!!</strong></p>
<p>I do understand clickbanks position &#8211; but I think 15% is a little on<br />
the low side&#8230;. I know it was set up due to the mega launches that got<br />
up to 70% refund rates <em>(where the product just plain and simply didn&#8217;t</em><br />
<em> deliver)</em>, so that was a good thing. But now they seem to be penalizing<br />
those who just do a good job of selling, and get the serial refunders<br />
along with genuine customers!</p>
<p><strong>So where are  the die hard clickbank vendors listing their</strong><br />
<strong> products now?</strong></p>
<p>Well a lot are still happy to use clickbank, and I know with my refund<br />
rates being non existent <em>(cos I do make sure my products</em><br />
<em> deliver&#8230;lol)</em> I would have been happy to use them again too&#8230;..</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>BUT</strong></span><br />
<strong>Yep &#8211; I always seem to have a big BUT in my posts somewhere don&#8217;t I?</strong><br />
&#8230; lol &#8211; That one But with ONE T by the way!</p>
<p>On Completing Link Supercharger <em>(Under a different name)</em><br />
and submitting it to clickbank &#8211; they refused to approve it first time<br />
around as it can cloak links!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>(On reading CB&#8217;s terms and conditions &#8211; it&#8217;s apparently &#8216;Not Allowed&#8217;</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><strong> &#8230; you are not supposed to cloak your clickbank hop links! (WHO KNEW??))</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>The fact that they already have 85 types of cloaking software</strong> in their<br />
marketplace didn&#8217;t sway them &#8211; as it&#8217;s something they NOW wont<br />
approve&#8230; but those already there and breaking CB&#8217;s terms are fine to<br />
keep selling something they say is not approved of &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>YEAH &#8211; we got frustrated too!</strong> &#8211; In Fact some of them are clearly not only<br />
breaking CB&#8217;s terms &#8211; but also don&#8217;t work any longer due to changes in<br />
other websites &#8230; but that&#8217;s another story!</p>
<p><strong>SO</strong> &#8211; We had to look for alternatives and decided to investigate what<br />
everyone else was doing.</p>
<p>The TWO MAIN sources of most the links I see coming from other<br />
marketers now seem to be <strong>Warrior Plus</strong> and <strong>JVZoo.</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a member of both and haven&#8217;t had any issues or problems&#8230;. BUT<br />
<em>(there it is again&#8230;lol)</em></p>
<p><strong>I do know a lot of marketers who have had, or know someone directly who</strong><br />
<strong> has had either their paypal account suspended, closed or limited!</strong></p>
<p>This seems to be due to Paypal not liking the way Warrior plus pays the<br />
commissions, or the products not being good quality, or the buyer<br />
putting in charge backs to get a refund due to not even remembering<br />
where they bought etc.</p>
<p><strong>In fact</strong> &#8211; no one really knows what the issue is, other than a lot of<br />
folks have had some challenges!</p>
<p>I believe the guy behind Warrior Plus is trying to make changes to<br />
prevent it from wrecking his and others businesses, and also plenty of<br />
others seem to be fine&#8230;. However &#8211; when it comes to risking ones<br />
paypal account, there are many who just wont risk promoting that type<br />
of link!</p>
<p>I know my good friend <em>(and part time boss man)</em> <a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/why-listing-a-warrior-special-offer-could-kill-your-business/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.johnthornhill.com/blog/why-listing-a-warrior-special-offer-could-kill-your-business/?referer=');">John Thornhill recently did a post<br />
about it, and how he prefers to use clickbank</a> with his CBAffiliateMaster software for his wso&#8217;s.</p>
<p>He is also among a number of good friends who have large lists and<br />
refuse to promote anything on W+! <em>(And they number greatly!!)</em> &#8211; so that<br />
could be a challenge to get affiliates for many of us.</p>
<p><strong>Personally</strong> &#8211; I haven&#8217;t had an issue promoting as an affiliate &#8211; but I<br />
don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d want to risk adding a product for fear of losing my<br />
paypal account <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>That leaves us with the new boy &#8211; <a href="http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/JVZoo/" target="_blank">JVZoo</a></strong></p>
<p>I say new boy &#8211; but in reality the massive growth of this platform has<br />
been amazing to watch.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a member for a while and had<strong> NO Issues</strong> getting paid for<br />
products I&#8217;ve promoted&#8230;.. But I still wanted to double check that I<br />
would be in <strong>no way risking my paypal account</strong> if I decided to launch any<br />
products on there!</p>
<p>Well thankfully &#8211; although it seems similar &#8211; the way JVZoo works is<br />
actually approved by paypal, using <strong>Paypals own Adaptive Payments thingy</strong><br />
&#8230; <strong>Yeah thingy</strong>, hey I&#8217;m not techy but for those who are here is a link<br />
to what <a href="https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&amp;content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_APIntro" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content_amp_content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_APIntro&amp;referer=');">Paypal Say</a>.</p>
<p>I also called paypal to discuss putting cash through via their adaptive<br />
payments and they were happy that my account is fine to use it <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8230;<br />
phew!</p>
<p>So as you can see JVZoo has been approved by them and spent 3 months<br />
having paypal check over everything for them. PLUS &#8211; After speaking to<br />
one of the owners, I&#8217;ve learned that not one affiliate has had any<br />
paypal issues&#8230;.</p>
<p>So I am more than happy to add our new software to JVZoo, and will be<br />
doing so over the next few days!</p>
<p>BTW &#8211; If you haven&#8217;t checked out <a href="http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/JVZoo/" target="_blank">JVZoo</a><br />
- pop over and take a look &#8211; they are listening to their vendors and<br />
affiliates and adding new features all the time <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>You might want to promote some of the products or even consider using<br />
them for your own next launch <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So there you are &#8211; a few options&#8230;</p>
<p>Personally &#8211; after getting back answers to support tickets from<br />
clickbank that didn&#8217;t seem as though they actually read what I asked! -<br />
I figure they are big enough to manage without my few products, so I&#8217;ll<br />
be adding more products to JVZoo from here on <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Starting with &#8216;<span style="color: #800000;"><strong>LinkSupercharger</strong></span>&#8216; &#8211; see below <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<strong>* Catch Up &amp; Update</strong><br />
<strong> * A Cool Free Resource</strong><br />
<strong> * Coaching Bargains</strong><br />
<strong> * Reminder &#8211; Meet Up Saturday 3rd</strong><br />
<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====</p>
<p><strong><big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Hi Everyone <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Here&#8217;s hoping this email catches you well and keeping busy&#8230; or more importantly &#8211; making progress <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I have a few things to cover in this post, &#8230;So before I forget to mention it&#8230;</p>
<p><strong> <a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com/?referer=');">RandysMoreMonthly.com</a></strong> <strong>has been updated with next months downloads <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong><br />
<a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com/?referer=');"><img src="http://www.randolfsmith.com/images/collection-transsmall.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>There are the usual 16 products in the main download area, and a further 24 in the forum bonus area!<br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><strong>That&#8217;s FORTY IM Products with MRR or PLR for just $14!</strong></span></p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re a member go have fun grabbing anything that might be useful to learn from or sell on <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong><big>And if you&#8217;re not a member:</big></strong></span><br />
Do pop along and take a chance&#8230; You can cancel at anytime&#8230; but trust me when I tell you not many people do when they see this sort of value on a monthly basis.<br />
Plus &#8211; even if you do &#8211; you&#8217;ll have all these products <strong>AND</strong> access to the last couple of months too, So I reckon for a $14 investment &#8211; that&#8217;s better value that all those firesales people keep having for a few products at a lot more money <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em><strong>OK &#8211; Enough self promotion&#8230;lol</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>What else is new?</strong><br />
Well I&#8217;m behind as usual on my own product development.<br />
Before you start &#8211; Yes, I have all the excuses I need at the ready&#8230; haha</p>
<p>The main ones being that the Link Cloaker I&#8217;m developing with Simon Phillips has been beta tested by a few trusted friends, and from their feedback &#8211; we&#8217;re adding even more functionality to it!<br />
Whilst still keeping it the easiest and most simple of tools to use, it&#8217;s turning into a powerhouse of a tool that even highly experienced marketers are wanting to use <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So do bear with me for another couple of weeks <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>NOW,</strong> in terms of keeping up to date with everything we&#8217;re adding and what changes need to be done and by whom&#8230;.. I&#8217;ve discovered a great freebie tool that I figured I&#8217;d share with my readers.</p>
<p>See below <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></em></span><br />
=====</p>
<p><strong><big><big>* A Cool Free Resource</big></big></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://trello.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/trello.com/?referer=');">https://trello.com/</a></p>
<p>Trello &#8211; <em>(linked above)</em>, is the tool Simon and I are now using to organize and plan ourselves and our workload.<br />
I&#8217;m mentioning it here because I shared it with a few of <a href="http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/P2SWebinar/" target="_blank">John Thornhills</a> high ticket coaching members &#8211; <strong>And they LOVE IT!</strong></p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s like a big notice board online</strong> that you can log into from your google id, and then create boards and cards within them of jobs and tasks to do!<br />
<img src="http://www.randolfsmith.com/images/trelloshot.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>So not only do you get to keep up with what you need to do,<br />
BUT &#8211; If you&#8217;re working in partnership, or have accountability partners etc. &#8211; You can easily see what needs to be done, what has been done, and who needs to sort it.</p>
<p>Rather than searching through 30 &#8211; 40 emails to find that one piece of text or testimonial or sales copy you&#8217;ve sent back and forth, you can upload them to your board and find them all instantly!</p>
<p>You can label cards and tasks, drag them around and generally stay far better organized.<br />
<em>(as well as not losing things that were important&#8230;lol)</em></p>
<p>So I highly recommend you check it out and have a play <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong><a href="https://trello.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/trello.com/?referer=');">https://trello.com/</a></strong></p>
<p>And yeah &#8211; it&#8217;s totally free, so I love the price&#8230;lol</p>
<p>Have fun <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big><big><big><small><small><big><big><br />
</big></big></small></small></big></big></em></span>P.S. Do keep reading for some great value coaching bargains!</strong><br />
=====</p>
<p><big><big><small><small><big><big></big></big></small></small><strong>* Coaching Bargains</strong><br />
</big></big><br />
Well I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s cos this year is supposedly the end of the world<em> (see Mayan calendar and many other theories)</em><br />
But have you see the amount of bargains we&#8217;re getting from some big big names?</p>
<p>I do suspect it&#8217;s more because so many people are broke due to the worlds bankers requiring interest on the money we borrowed off them to give them back as a bail out&#8230;..<br />
<strong><em>But that&#8217;s another argument <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></strong></p>
<p>Whatever the reason &#8211; and even if it&#8217;s just to build their mailing lists <em>(which we can always unsub from)</em>, <strong>It would seem that getting quality help &amp; training these days is getting cheaper and cheaper!</strong><br />
Just look at the latest coaching programs that were $600 &#8211; $997 and are now being sold at a price anyone can afford&#8230;<br />
<strong>Yes = especially struggling newbies!</strong></p>
<p>We have everything from<strong> free webinars</strong> offering quality training without obligation from the likes of John Thornhill<br />
<a href="../recommendz/FreeJTWebinar/" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/FreeJTWebinar/</a><br />
<em>(recorded &#8211; so you can join at your convenience)</em></p>
<p><strong>Even Better:</strong><br />
<a href="../recommendz/P2SWebinar/" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/P2SWebinar/</a><br />
LIVE each month <em>(ish)</em>, see the page for details!</p>
<p><strong>Then there&#8217;s his coaching wso:</strong><br />
<a href="../recommendz/JTCoachingOffer/" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/JTCoachingOffer/</a><br />
<em>(I&#8217;ve linked straight to the salespage)</em></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Well now there are even more JUST RELEASED.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Two that I know are great are:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Alex Jeffreys Marketing With Alex:</strong><br />
<strong> <a href="../recommendz/mwalex/" target="_blank">http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/mwalex/</a></strong><br />
<strong>It was $997.</strong>.. <em>(too much for me at the time)</em> I do know several people who took it and loved it, well now you can grab it for just<strong> $27</strong> from that link.</p>
<p><strong>And One from a very good friend of mine, Simon Hodgkinson!</strong><br />
He celebrates 10 years working online in partnership with Jeremy Gislason, So they decided to reduce their<strong> $597</strong> program to an incredible <strong>one time payment of just $10</strong></p>
<p><strong> Here&#8217;s their link<em> (and I highly recommend you take a look)</em></strong><br />
<a href="../recommendz/fsb/" target="_blank"><strong>http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/fsb/</strong><br />
</a>With a <span style="color: #000080;"><strong>5 Times your money back guarantee</strong></span> &#8211; you can&#8217;t go far wrong for ten bucks can you?</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>So with all those programs, and a few more mentioned on this page:</p>
<p><a href="../recommendz/BargainCoaching.php" target="_blank"><strong>http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/BargainCoaching.php</strong><br />
</a>I&#8217;m pretty sure there should be a bargain for everyone who wants or needs some direction, help or training to further their online prospects and careers!<br />
In fact &#8211; I daren&#8217;t try and list any single product in this email, cos these programs offer so much value that I believe everyone should own at least one of the programs above<br />
<em>(If Not All of them at those prices!)</em></p>
<p><strong>Just be sure to follow through on the teachings and take action!!</strong><br />
And you really will have gotten a bargain!</p>
<p>Do check them all out and help yourself to as many or few as you can comfortably afford&#8230;. Just one nugget from each would soon cover the tiny investments they ask for <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>And if you lose this post &#8211; Just bookmark this page:</strong><br />
<a href="../recommendz/BargainCoaching.php" target="_blank"><strong>http://randolfsmith.com/recommendz/BargainCoaching.php</strong><br />
</a><br />
Time for you to move forward, there are really no excuses left at those prices.</p>
