* Catch Up

Hi Everyone
Well here we are half way through the month already.
And yep – I’m up to my usual sillyness already. I don’t think I’ll ever learn from my own advice!

I’ve lost count of how many times I tell others to stick to one thing and see it through, and yet I keep ‘Flitting’ from one thing to another myself!
Quite honestly I shouldn’t complain… after all we’re only a couple of weeks into the new year, and yet I sit and wonder why ‘stuff’ just isn’t finished yet?

Granted some projects take time, and we do need to wait until they’re complete before we can move on…. But boy oh boy it FEELS like I’ve been working on some for an age…lol

Does that affect you too?
Does it feel like you’re ‘flitting’ from one thing to another and making very slow progress?
Do you have 3 or more projects on the go, and as you ‘flit’ between them – does it feel like you haven’t moved forward?

If it does – here’s some food for thought:
I’d bet that if you have been chipping away, progress will have been made ! (It’s just that sometimes it doesn’t feel that way)
If you check on where you started and then where you’re up to – you will have been moving forward!

Sometimes it’s like we’re on a journey, but we forget to look at the map!
All we can see is how far we still have to go – and it’s so far away that it feels like we’ll never get there!

This is then compounded by the fact that all day and EVERY day we get email after email telling us of yet another new product we should check out and buy!

Now we all know that we should be avoiding anything that doesn’t fit with our business plan and marketing objectives. so that’s a given….
BUT – what these constant launches do – is make us feel like every man and his dog is making more progress than we are – doesn’t it?

So here’s what I’ve realised.
We ALL need to STOP from time to time and check our MAP!
NOT to see how far we have to go – but sometimes to see how far we’ve come!

Only by cutting out all the noise from the constant launches and feelings of everyone is moving forward except me…… Can we take some time to see how much progress we’ve actually made!
This then helps us to stay motivated and keep plodding forward!

I say plodding forward – because sometimes we don’t make leaps and bounds towards our goals….
Sometimes we take one baby step after another …. literally belly crawling forwards to our final destination!

But Hey – I can tell you from both online experience of keeping plodding until I get a project finished, and from an analogy of a time when I was in uniform doing my bit many years ago…
Online – I just need to remind myself of the stuff I have gotten finished and the regular money those items make (check my links if you need to)

My Analogy from past offline experience is taken from a time I was on a military exercise.
This one night, myself a small group of ‘specialists’, were given the task of keeping our enemy awake all night by launching probing attacks on them every couple of hours. (the idea being to ensure they were sleep deprived prior to our forces launching a ful scale attack the following dawn)
Unfortunately, due to their having patrols and sentry posts forward of their front lines – this meant we had to be very very quiet and take our time moving forwards for each probe.

Yes I’m getting to the point…lol
What we had to do was use techniques such as ‘ghost walking’ ‘belly crawl’ and ‘doubling back’ throughout the night…..
We would move forward literally inch by inch until we were in postition to shoot.
Then a hasty retreat after we had woken them, only to repeat the procress again an hour later!

Each time we moved forward we had to go so slowly it honestly felt like we’d never get into position – and yet each time we eventually did.
We’d be laid hidden in the undergrowth while their patrols marched past us, watching as they took just a few minutes to move over trerritory that we would take an hour or more to move over.
But because of our patience and checking exactly where we were on opur maps – we knew we’d get there and we did.
On every occassion we would surprise them and make our escape. (we even captured two of their sentries and a front line gun team…lol)
Come the morning the full scale attack was a resounding success and we got to sleep for a large part of the morning, as well as getting a great meal as a reward for our small part of the exersice.

The lesson being that sometimes those extremely long times of feeling like progess was so slow, We did need a look at the map and the overall plan to remind us that what we were doing was the right corse of action, and even then if we can only ‘Belly Crawl’, we’re still mo9ving forwards!

So if you’re feeling like everyone is rushing ahead of you …
Check you map!
See how far you’ve come,
Take note of any detours you’ve had to make,
And make sure you give yourself a pat on the back for any progress.

Then just stick at it until!

Remember – if you never give up – you can’t possibly lose.
Just keep it moving forwards

OK – that’s enough story telling for today, now back to what’s been feeling slow for me…lol
And maybe you’ll see some progress and I might realise I have actually got some stuff done…haha

Chat soon

* Amazon Bits

Strange title I know, but let me explain…..
I’ve called it Amazon Bits because there literally are a few bits to mention. – Not just one aspect or element or product
This also in part covers some of what I was just talking about in terms of the time it takes to get stuff done!
With the first part of ‘time’ being no ones fault – but still a heck of a wait (or at least that’s how it felt)

Before I go on, I guess now would be a good time to add the fact that Amazon is one of the key areas of growth I want for my own business this year, I still have other online stuff to get done too – hence the multiple projects that I advise against…lol
And here’s one reason for having multiple projects on the go too…….
The Waiting!

First bit:
I’ve been meaning for ages (and I mean more than a year) to get a physical book created with Amazon Create Space.
This allows anyone to publish their own book and have it for sale world wide via Amazons Print On Demand Service. (Also worthwhile because unlike old fashioned self publishing – you don’t have to order a minimum print run of hundreds of books in order to see your name on a book cover)
So long story short – I finally got around to adding something.
It started out as some PLR I bought the rights to, and I edited it to make it my own.
(As it turns out it’s proving popular with my family and friends – because they can finally understand what it is that I do….lol)

But from a TIME point of view – I hadn’t realised just how long it would take for people in the UK to actually have a book shipped!
I submitted my work, created cover graphics etc. – and then had to wait around a month for the proof to be shipped to me! – ALL BEFORE I could approve it and have it listed!
Hence I had no choice but to move onto other projects while I awaited the postman, after all – just sitting around waiting wasn’t going to kep my business moving forwards….lol
So I got on with other things like the new link cloaker mentioned below.

Anyways – finally my proof copies arrived!
(Here’s a vanity part…. no matter how many ebooks I have out there that are making me regular monthly incomes – there really is NO DESCRIBING how it feels to see a physical book with your name and picture on it as the Author!)
My intention isn’t to make a fortune from selling this book, it was more to use the book as a ‘business card’ in effect. to give a free copy to local business people who might be interested in using my services from my offline site. After all – how much easier is it to consider using someone who is a published Author of a book about online marketing, when making a descion on whom to give a contract to?

But just in case you’d like to buy a copy – here’s the link:
Help…. I’m Addicted To Internet Marketing….. Will You Be Too?

And if you do buy a copy – let me know by sending a me a support ticket, and I’ll happily throw in any of my paid ebooks/products as a bonus, as I could do with some buyer reviews…lol
(that only applies to products/sites that are my own, and not ones where I have a partner or co-author… naturally)

So that’s create space, a great tool to get your name on a book and give you a larger than usual head when you chat to family & friends ;

Moving on…. – Do you own a Kindle Reader?
Kindle

Next bit

As well as Create Space, I’ve also been revisiting Amazon Kindle Publishing.
I already had some titles published on kindle - Randy Smith On Kindle  But I did them a good while ago and forgot about them.
Long story short – I’ve seen so many people promoting ‘Kindle’ products over the last year, and I actually promoted one myself  ages ago. On a personal level – I stopped looking at most as I saw the shear mess people were making, as well as the useless products that were just videos saying “get your ebooks on kindle”, and then making an offer of a heap of PLR to upload!
Where they failed was in actually showing people how to do the job properly!

For a start - Amazon didn’t take long before they started the ‘Kindle Slap’ - removing all the duplicate content poor quality PLR junk from the site!
And secondly – I didn’t see the hundreds of daily sales all those selling the plr claimed was so easy to make!

Well – as with all things – the Kindle guides have evolved!
Plus Kindle has continued to grow and grow! – It even got a mention in my MENSA magazine that I get sent out every month!, and that reminded me to take a look at my own products!

I can say that I was pleasantly surprised to see I have made a handful of sales (not the hundreds people talk about), but nevertheless – sales coming in from nothing other than listing 4 items in the kindle store!
Hence I’ve been on a mission to grab as much info and training on Kindle as I could find!…. and trust me when I tell you – there is LOADS of it! .. lol

One reason I’m mentioning it today is that I finally found some great training that has opened my eyes to why I haven’t made more sales…. And also teaches me exactly what and how to start doing in order to get more from my Kindle products!

What I love about kindle is that it’s actually easier than creating IM products with all the pages that a typical ebook site needs in order to make money from it!
(So the work load is a heck of a lot less, and less techy too!)
Anyways – If you’re still reading this far in, then I assume you might also be interested in taking a serious look at getting some products into the Kindle Store.

So here’s my strogest recommendation and a couple of others that I’ve bought recently and been pleased with.
I’ve learnt something from each of these product, so feel free to check them all out.
But if you ask me for just one – then I’d have to plump for Geoff Shaws Kindling membership right now

Here are the links:
Geoff Shaws Kindling Membership
Geoff alrwady has some fantastic info in this membership that is a one time fee – BUT – He is also adding more and that will increase it’s price as time goes by… So the best time to grab this is now!
ALSO – If you do buy it – Please contact me… as I’d like to set up a small groups of us to help each other as per geoff’s training on the section about Instant Social proof … yopu’ll know what I mean once you’re inside
This is my Strongest recommendation – because I learnt more about what I personally did wrong or missed out from this, and I haven’t even been able to get through the extra content he’s added since I last logged in!! Now, this is slightly higher priced than the WSOs I normally recommend, but having compared the value, there really is a complete and modern Kindle course in here. Just check my testimonial on Geoff’s page
Very Impressed!

Others I’ve bought:
Kindle Content Miracle
Happy enough with the content, but I would add that Cory seems to be a marketer who promotes stuff daily!

Kindle Pack
A Great basic guide to ensure you get set up correctly on Kindle itself, and some further study in the cheap oto Also the product that got me looking for more and more Kindle info

Vals Kindle Guide
This is the product I used when I started adding products to Kindle, and Val also did me a special offer page for my readers

Perfect Publishing System - (I’m awaiting affiliate approval – so in the mean time search the warrior forum if you don’t want to wait – Seems daft that after over 48 hours he hasn’t logged in to approve affiliates!!)
This one from Jonny Andrews was recommended by Geoff Shaw so I bought it… It’s more about how to make money rather than how to set up your ebooks etc. Also packed with info and videos to guide you through the process! – Highly recommended.

Kindle Publishing Kit
Another very useful offer – In this guide you get links to free software to help get the formatting right with kindle (Which also happened to be one of my biggest hurdles!!)

So there you have some of the kindle products I’ve bought and am happy to recommend. I wont try and tell you which to consider other than repeating that Geoff Shaws membership is what I’d consider to be the most complete and valuable, but some of the others have useful parts in their own right  like the Kindle Publishing Kit, so do check them out if you’re getting into Kindle, and grab what you feel will help you

And don’t forget to contact me if you buy Geoff’s one, As I seriously do want to have a chat to benefit us all

Moving On

* New Cloaker News

OK – This has been a lengthy post with a lot of info about Amazon.
So I wont get into too much detail from here.
Re the new cloaker – all I will say is that after going through the comments and ideas given in reply to my last post.…..
Simon and I have been tweaking, testing and adding all sorts of extra features and facilities to the ‘extras’ that were already built in.

This has made the cloaker much more than just a link cloaker and tracker!!
We’ve wrapped it up now and encoded it ready for adding it as a product for sale – and just have the remainder of the sales copy and what it can do to write, along with some affiliate tools etc.

In the mean time – Here’s a link to a ‘HotPage’ I created in around a minute or so complete with header graphic title, links in boxes and footer etc. for those Amazon links I’ve recommended above.
Basically just showing off ONE of the amazing features the software has built in…….
Not forgeting to mention that this is the easiest software I’ve ever installed – with just ONE simple install file to upload and NO databases or database users to add and remember etc.!

So here’s the ‘hot page’ – Randys Recommended Amazon Kindle Links

Do take a look at the whole of the page, and remember – All I did was fill in some blanks and push a button!

More Soon…

* Catch Up

Hi Everyone
And before I get too wrapped up in the time of year…
(And just in case I don’t get another post written)
Let me start by wishing ALL my readers…

A Very Happy
Yule, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Ramadan.

Did I miss anyone? (if so I do apologise and hope you have a great holiday period too )
I would have just said Happy Holidays – But judging by facebook posts I would have upset and insulted so many people who seem to disagree that we should have freedom of choice of our beliefs!
So anyways, If you’re not insulted and leaving now – Have a great one!

Re catching up, I have updated RandysMoreMonthly with next months downloads, AND I will repeat the offer from last time I mentioned it for all those who might want to give it a try!
Join now and get ALL the monthly downloads with MRR, PLR etc. from when I started the site back in 2008!…. Which is far too many to list!!! But definitely in the THOUSANDS !
Just pay this months $14 and drop me a ticket to get access to the previous months /years worth
Enough said this isn’t a pitch post! (well other than a couple of cheeky links)

I have been trying to get some work done on a couple of sites, but it’s hardly worth mentioning now as I know they wont be ready before we’re all too focused on family and time at home
PLUS – Just about everyday has ben interrupted by either Shopping, wrapping, visiting, or some other related activity… and I can only forsee it getting more so between now and the new year!

I don’t know about the readers who still have to go to a day job… but for those of us who are full time online, it’s time to start thinking about shutting off for the holidays. I certainly can’t see me getting any solid work done for the rest of the year now….
That said - I am getting quite excited at seeing my family and friends eyes light up when they get to open their presents this year, I’m looking forward to eating too much and wasting hour upon hour watching movies and partying with friends, and I sincerely hope you are too!

So I though I’d have a post about some of my favourite movies and what you can learn from them for your business..
So without further ado, let’s introduce the post and give you an excuse to have some fun watching these movies over the holidays… whilst telling everyone it’s a business study!

Chat soon
Randy

* What Holiday Movies Can Teach You About Your Business

OK – here’s the post that will allow you to tell people you’re watching them for Business Learning reasons
For the most part I’ve taken some PLR from:
Free PLR: What Holiday Movies can Teach YOU About Business  And just added a few lines of my own to it. Well it is great PLR and after reading it, I didn’t see the need to add too many changes…lol
I have been cheeky enough to make the images links to the products just in case… haha, But I’m almost sure most people will have seen these movies.
So What Can They Teach Us?

CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS: – RESPOND TO MARKET DEMANDS

“Christmas With the Kranks” is a slapstick comedy based on a book called “Skipping Christmas” by John Grisham.

The upshot is that the protagonists, Luther and Nora Krank (played by Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis), want to “skip” Christmas because their daughter is spending Christmas overseas in the Peace Corps. They plan to take all the money they save and go on a cruise. It’s a great plan, only they run into a few problems.
Their friends and neighbors object to their lack of Christmas spirit and heckle and bully them, attempting to force them to get back in line and get their jolly on.
They successfully resist… until they learn that their daughter is unexpectedly returning home for Christmas.

The Kranks have to scurry around in order to create Christmas at the last minute, borrowing Christmas trees, pulling together an eleventh-hour party and trying to woo back the neighbors the community they’ve alienated. Of course, all ends well once the Kranks respond to the external pressures and get back in line.

So, what do the Kranks teach business owners?
The main lesson is that you can make all the plans in the world, but sometimes you just need to respond to what your market wants.
Poor Luther and Nora don’t think they’re doing anything wrong. So they want to head in a different direction this year. What’s the big deal?
Well, the big deal is that the Kranks’ audience (neighbors and friends) like things just the way they are.
They don’t want the Kranks to change. They want things to stay the way they always have been – even if the Kranks have different ideas.

Think about trying to change something in your business – your website, your pricing structure, your offerings.
Even if you’re positive the changes are for the better, you can hit serious backlash because your customers like things a certain way.
They like knowing that the “buy” button is in red at the bottom of the page, or that your podcast comes out every Wednesday – not Tuesday, and certainly not Thursday.
If you mess with their routines, you may have to pay the price – just like the Kranks.
Now, this isn’t to say that you can’t ever make changes to your business.
It’s just a warning that you’d better make sure the risk is worth the reward, and that you’re not changing just for change’s sake.
Don’t mess with your customers’ Christmas.

JINGLE ALL THE WAY:- SERENDIPITY HAPPENS

Way back before Arnold was Governor of California, he starred in a Christmas caper called “Jingle All the Way.”
As workaholic Howard Langston, Arnie races all over town on Christmas Eve, in search of the blockbuster toy “Turbo Man,” which he promised his wife he’d pick up months before. Since it’s the only present on their son’s Christmas list, the need is dire.
In his quest to find the perfect toy, Howard fends off advances from a psycho mailman, a vengeful cop, and his lugubrious neighbor who’s bent on moving in on Howard’s wife, usurping his role as husband and father.
After hours of careening from store to store, Howard finds himself in the town’s annual holiday parade, dressed up as – you guessed it! – Turbo Man.
All ends well when his wife and son realize his heart is in the right place. Don’t you just love happy endings?

You may think there’s no lesson here for a business owner, but there are plenty.
We could talk about work-life balance, or the importance of keeping your commitments, but the main one to highlight is the role that serendipity plays in business.
Many successful business owners will tell you that the second they became crystal clear on their objectives, things just seemed to fall into place for them.
Sure, they faced some obstacles along the way, but somehow the person they needed to meet or the book they needed to read or the lesson they needed to learn fell into their path.

Preparation is a great thing, and it’s necessary for day-to-day success. It’s what gets us through the tough, repetitive and sometimes boring stuff. But often the big leaps forward in our business occur because of some force stronger than us that’s at work in the universe.

Consider this quote from renowned poet Ralph Waldo Emerson:
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
Even if you aren’t the “woo-woo” type, it can pay to be open to seemingly miraculous coincidences and occurrences.
Some people consider these types of coincidences to be signs that you’re moving on the right path.
But whether you believe in the “great divine” or not, smart business owners will take advantage of any opportunities, regardless of source. And the more clear you are on your end goal, the more you’ll be able to recognize these opportunities.

HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS: – THERE’S SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE

If you haven’t seen the original animated Grinch movie from 1966, you’ve likely seen the Jim Carrey version from 2000.
But if you missed that one, too, here’s the recap:

Green Grinch hates Christmas and hates the Whos, the sweet and lovable inhabitants of Whoville, who adore the holiday – but who have lost sight of the true meaning.
So Grinch, accompanied by his long-suffering canine companion, Max, steals all their presents and decorations so he can extract his revenge.

The twist: Aided by pure-of-heart and diminutive  Cindy Lou Who, the Whos celebrate the Christmas spirit, even without the wrappings, and the Grinch’s frozen heart melts. And in the Carrey version, he also finds true love with the sexiest Who of all, played by Christine Baranski.

It’s the updated version that brings us our lesson for today, and the lesson is this:
There’s really someone for everyone. If a grumpy, stinky, pants-less Grinch can capture the heart of the nubile Martha May Whovier, then out there, somewhere, there’s a customer base for you.
Go online and you can find plenty of proof of this belief.
There are people selling gun-shaped soap, frozen yogurt for dogs, and Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavor Beans. If they can make it, you can, too.
Take these tips from the Grinch:
-Be absolutely clear on who you are. Don’t waffle. If you’re strange, revel in your strangeness. The more clearly you reveal yourself, the more easily you’ll appeal to your “tribe,” as Seth Godin calls it.
-Don’t apologize for who you are. If you’re a gun-toting survivalist, so be it. If you are a tattooed, be-ringed 60-something, go with it. Your customers don’t want someone who is embarrassed; they want to be led by someone who’s confident and embraces their different-ness.
-Come down from the mountain. It’s not until the Grinch leaves his hermit-like cave at the top of Mt. Crumpet and emerges into the “real world” that he finds acceptance and love. You need to be where the people are.
–File down your rough edges. “Authenticity” can be an excuse for bad behavior. There’s a difference between being transparent and honest, and being downright unpleasant and rude. Even at the end of the movie, the Grinch softens a bit – without losing his Grinch-ness.
If the Grinch can find love, you can, too.

THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY: – ALL GIFTS ARE TO BE HONORED

Even if you haven’t seen the animated special, you’ve probably heard the story or the song. But here’s a recap if you’re unaware:
The three Wise Men and the shepherds are heading to see the Baby Jesus, and the little drummer boy comes along for the ride.
He is embarrassed when he has no gift to offer the newborn Savior.
Finally, he learns that his only skill – playing his drum – is enough.

Maybe you’ve felt this way:
You take a skills assessment or strengths finder, or ask your friends and family what they turn to you for. The answers are less than stellar. Instead of being a powerhouse leader, or an inspiration, you come up as a great administrator, or… the Drummer Boy equivalent of today, a good listener.
What are you supposed to do if you’ve got mad skills as, say, a babysitter or folding paper airplanes? Can you possibly make a business out of that?

Well, the short answer is, yes, you can.  Whatever your skill, there is a market for it.
Follow these tips to make sure you find your business home:
1.    Don’t underestimate yourself. So you can imitate cartoon voices. Big deal. No one will pay for that…. Or will they? Sure they will! For presentation narration, video games, films… you name it. If you have an above-average skill, someone out there will pay for it. If you doubt this, go to Fiverr.com and take a look at the kind of things people are shelling out money for.
2.    Get yourself out there. Standing in the back of the crowd, quietly tapping on your drum, is not going to do anything for your popularity. You need to put yourself in front of people who can help (if you get nervous, just think back to the Little Drummer Boy. If he could approach Mary, the mother of Jesus, you can probably get up the courage to launch a podcast or website).
3.    Hone your craft. If your skill really is folding paper airplanes, then make yourself the very best paper airplane folder out there. If you are skilled at cleaning toilets, then keep your finger on the pulse of the toilet-cleaning industry and be a leader in that space. Just because you’re naturally gifted doesn’t mean you can coast; you must keep making yourself better and better.

When you have a gift, it is truly that – a present bestowed upon you. It is your responsibility to make the most of it and share it with others.

ELF: – ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS

Take a six-foot tall adopted elf named Buddy (played by Will Ferrell) who wants to find his birth father, make that father the prickly James Caan, and throw them together  in the midst of New York City and see what happens. Buddy wants a warm and cuddly family reunion; his father
Walter wants nothing more than to make this newfound son disappear, preferably with a pair of cement boots on him.
Ah, but this is Christmas, so not only does Buddy convince his new family that syrup tastes good on everything; he also wins the heart of his stepmother, half-brother, and the cynical Jovie, his new love. And yes, Walter eventually sees the light.

So business owners, here’s your business lesson from Buddy the Elf:

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing lout for all to hear.”
So… what if you’re not Santa? Buddy would tell you it doesn’t matter. Enthusiasm is catching.
No one is going to be more excited about your business, your product, your podcast, your class, your blog than you are.
Sometimes we feel a little hesitant to show our enthusiasm. It can be risky to show how much we care about something. But if we don’t show our passion, we’re not going to convince anyone else to follow or act on our recommendations.
Think about the last time you went out to eat. If the waiter or waitress gave a lackluster endorsement to the daily special, you likely took a pass.
But if she or he said, “I just tried it before my shift and it was delicious!” you’d be a little more likely to partake. Enthusiasm sells. Period.

Here are a few tips to make like Buddy the Elf without sounding like a used car salesman (or an escapee from the North Pole):
•    Be honest. Don’t sell or promote something you don’t believe in. It never works – people can tell, and you’ll damage your reputation.
•    Be yourself. You may be the understated type who isn’t going to jump out of a helicopter a la Richard Branson to promote your latest business venture. You don’t have to be! (One Richard Branson is enough for this world.) But do show your energy in a way that is natural for you.
•    Be realistic. If you promote every new thing that comes down the block, or have a new solution du jour, pretty soon no one is going to listen to you.

You don’t have to dress up in pointy shoes to get people to buy your new e-course. But hey… if the shoe fits… why not?

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: – NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF TRIBES

One of the most memorable Christmas movies of all time is Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life,” starring the incomparable Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. It’s the ultimate feel-good movie, perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered if their life holds meaning.
(And Definitely One of my personal Favourites!!!)

Here’s the lowdown: George Bailey, played by Stewart, is on the verge of collapse.
His small building and load company is on the verge of bankruptcy, the mean rich man in town is poised to swoop in, and though he has a house full of adorable kids and a gorgeous wife (Reed), there’s never enough money to go around.
George decides his family and business would be better off without him. On the brink of suicide, he’s saved by a fledgling angel, Clarence.
Clarence goes on to show George what his life would be like if he’d never existed, and the sight ain’t pretty.
By seeing all the people he’s touched, George realizes that he has created a strong network of love and support – he’s created a tribe.
And it’s this tribe that pulls together at the end of the movie to give back to George, helping him out of his current difficulties.

The lesson to you should be obvious:

Your tribe can, quite literally, save your life.
You should be building not only a viable business, but a community – one that supports and cares for each other.
If you’re just out to make a buck, don’t be surprised if no one leaps to defend you or lend you a helping hand when things go bad. And they will go bad
.
You can get “slapped” by Google. You can get your PayPal account frozen. You can get brought up on charges by the FTC. You can get hacked, robbed, or plagiarized. It happens.
(And long time readers will know it DID happen to me… But keep reading and this is also what happened due to my online friends)
But if you have friends like George’s, you’ll have a whole team of folks on your side.
But one thing to remember: George had friends he’d created just by being a good guy, doing the right thing at the right time, not worrying about what was in it for him.
He stood up for what was right and shook hand after hand, even when it cost him personally.
He didn’t build this community by selling junk or automating his Twitter feed or spamming everyone.
He did it the old fashioned way: By caring.
Some business techniques never go out of style.

* Catch Up

OK – Just a quick catch up today as I’m rushing around like a Blue Ar*ed Fly! ( I get that the phrase refers to a blue bottle fly… but how the heck does that relate to being busy?…lol)
Anyways, I’m posting today because I said I would participate in the popular “7 Links Challenge”, so you can read my entry below

Other than that I suddenly seem to have a lot on!
Sites that have vanished, new sites to build, 3 lots of copywriting to get sorted, videos to render, calls to make, software to test… the list seems suddenly endless…lol
That said – I much prefer to be too busy than have nothing to do

OH – and let’s not forget that we’re fast approaching the holiday season… (Before anyone rips me apart… there really is more happening at this time of year than just Christmas, and I fully believe in EVERYONES right to celebrate whatever they believe in – so as we live in a multi everything world, I chose to wish everyone a great December… not just the Christians) .. I hope that’s OK with you all (and if it’s not – then what sort of Christian are you? )
Sorry – not trying to get into a rant there – but ‘Some’ Christians do seem to go against their own teachings when it comes to loving thy neighbour!

So what’s been happening?
Well, as I mentioned I seem to have a lot on – too much to detail just now, but there are some great things in the planning and nearly ready stages to help a lot of people
This week’s been a rush around getting work done, adding in bits of shopping for Christmas and finally realizing that winter is definitely upon us… it’s getting flipping cold here! (and the snow is coming!!)
I know there’s still a few weeks left – but I’m already getting excited about giving out pressies at the end of the month. I guess that happens once you have them bought… I do love to see the smiles on faces when they get opened….  (clam down Randy… it’s not time yet…lol)

OK , ok – back to business for a little while
Actually – I don’t have anything I want to recommend this week (nothing I’ve preperly tested anyways), so I wont bother linking anywhere (tch – another post that doesn’t make me any commissions… haha) …. So I think I’ll just get on with the 7 link challenge and have some fun digging out posts to match the titles
I hope you enjoy them.

Chat soon

* 7 Links Challenge – My Post
Have you heard about the 7 Links Challenge?

It seems to be something that has been around for a while and keeps getting passed on… So when Kathy Dobson asked if I would participate, I thought WHY NOT

Kathy was nominated by Barry Wells, who in turn was nominated by Adrienne Smith and so it goes on….
You can read all about it on this post where the rules are explained

Basically – I need to publish links to 7 posts on my blog:, 1 link for each category.

- Your most beautiful post
– Your most popular post
– Your most controversial post
– Your most helpful post
– A post whose success surprised you
– A post you feel didn’t get the attention it deserved
– The post that you are most proud of

And then nominate 5 more bloggers to take part.

I hope you find something either useful – or a cool trip down memory lane… Maybe even something that reminds you of just how far you’ve come personally in your online adventures

So here we go:

Most Beautiful:
For this I’m going to cheat… I’m puting Two links:
In Memory Of Dad – some poems I wrote to remember my Dad on the anniversary of his death
And
R.I.P Agnes Smith – a short poem from the day my Mum died this year
Both obviously don’t have the same impact on my readers as they do for me…. But I wanted to take another opportunity to remember them… I’m starting to wonder if that was a good idea now – as I have tears in my eyes while I’m typing the rest of this!!
My satisfaction comes from knowing that they both knew I loved them before they passed on… and I sincerely hope that those whom YOU love – know it too! (nuff said)

Most Popular:
Warning – Guru’s Are Like Governments! – This post has had the most replies, it was part of another challenge which obviosuly helped in getting it seen. BUT, I also feel it still hold true ..in fact more so now than ever!  One line from that post summed it all up for me regarding Governments and Politicians … “No Matter Who You Vote For – The Government Always Win!’  lol

Most Controversial:
More Lies On Big Launches – Ouch… That one got me into trouble… IN FACT – I’ve not been promoted by any big names since. Apparently I got blacklisted by them!. I did receive several emails and facebook messages at the time warning me to remove that and another similar post… but I chose to ignore them and stick to my principals! Was it a good idea?.. who knows.. probably not – but then I still have a very clear conscience, and I still have big named friends who do still talk to me due to their own belief that these tactics are just plain wrong! (as a side note – I would recommend you steer away from being negative about the scammers until you can live off the money you make without requiring their help!)

Most Helpful:
Camtasia Competition & The Winners Are posts … Again I’ve added two links… But only to clarify that the competition is over!
I chose these posts because although they aren’t what would be expected… like a post showing how to do a certain task… I felt they were my most helpful for the basic reason that those who did win, most definitely benefited and have had some help on their journey by being able to put to use some software that they normally may not have been able to afford. Thereby giving them a real boost up the ladder of success! (I hope that was the case and that they are using the product they won)!!

Post Whose Success Surprised Me:
14 Fun Martketing Lessons – I was totally surprised at how many comments I got on this post, as it was really just a ‘quickie’ post I created from some funny pictures that had been emailed to me…You know – the sort we tend to get sent by our friends and family. I just wanted to put them online as I laughed a lot when looking at them – so I decided to see if there were any ‘Marketing lessons’ that I could associate with the images… and hey presto – a very popular post.. Still – it is nice to see that even marketers in the serious business of making moeny and building websites, can take a few minutes to have a laugh, and hey – even learn a few tips while in the process of being amused

Post that Didn’t Get The Attention It Deserved:
Building A Simple Site – In this post I linked to a couple of videos I recorded to help my readers and subscribers. I get so many emails and messages asking for ‘how to’ instructions on getting sites up and adding paypal buttons etc., That I took over an hour of time recoding me creating a site live in order to show people exactly how to get it done. … the result – 3 comments!
I guess people would rather I made it a wso and sold the info – then they may have watched and learned something… haha

Post I’m Most Proud Of:
My Introduction – Yep – a silly choice I agree… but let me tell you why… I could have picked a good number of other posts… Ones that made me the most money, Ones where I have some guru or other big name praising me, Ones where I did some helpful video that did get watched and commented on or shared a fantastic tip that helped people… etc. etc.
BUT – I chose to go with my Introduction post as the one I’m most proud of BECAUSE …..
It was my first post on my first blog! –  It’s been edited and it even has weird text in it now as it’s been restored from backups after being hacked and re-edited etc…. BUT – it’s still the first post I made way back in january of 2007
I’m proud of it because ‘I TOOK ACTION’ and got the blog online…. And I am hoping by listing it here – that some of my readers will be motivated to Take Action and get their first blog post done..
After all – here I am nearly FIVE YEARS later – still rambling on and still loving life, thanks to the internet (and a lot of friends along the way). And yes – I still have my technical struggles, hit daily hurdles, have rubbish weeks and rubbish stats from some of my sites… But nevertheless, I make enough to not have to get up at a specific time, to be free to pop round to visit my grandkids and kids when I feel like it, to take days out as and when with Rachel … to live as free as a millionaire without being in the slightest bit close to being one!

So come on if you haven’t already.. get YOUR first post online and let’s see your recap in a few years time

OK – I hope you enjoyed those posts
And now for part two of the challenge… To pick on some friends and force them to participate by adding their names and links here…  MWU HAHA

Mandy Allen

Keith Purkiss

Dan Sumner

Dawn Kay

Igor Griffiths

Sorry guys… hehe (not really – you’ll have fun I’m sure)

If you talk to anyone on this list – do let them know they’ve been picked on… I mean nominated
Cheers

* Catch Up

Well after being partied out last week – we had yet more evenings out and late nights!
Rachel had both her parents birthdays last week AND her sister’s engagement do!
(Good food and good company all round)

I then had an interview with Dawn Kay which was fun, I’m sure you’ll see it soon on her blog
A day in John Thornhill’s office with a couple of guys who I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of soon
And a middle of the night webinar with Omar Martin for His ‘MyUnfairAdvantage‘ members!

Plus we had Bonfire night to attend… just a night of watching some cool fireworks, a bonfire and then a family takeaway with Rachel, her girls and their Dad

So yeah – nothing much done to my sites as usual…lol
Thankfully they mostly tick over on autopilot and enough keeps coming in to pay the bills.
That said – If I was my own outsourcer – I think I’d fire myself for not being better organised!! – I really should have got more done, but hey… Life is for living

This morning involved a trip to the dentist and yeah – yet another appointment for yet another filling…. NOT looking forward to that!
And now I’m adding this lot to my blog… yet another post with only a $5 recommendation that isn’t for everyone (just people with a product on clickbank, or those who will have one at some point),
And a charity mention just for the sake of it
Plus a very last minute reminder of the meet up on Saturday!
(Actually – while I’m here – this is your first mention that Decembers meet up will have VIP guests again… so watch out for the link after Saturday and get booked early as it’s sure to be a sell out!)

Anyways do feel free to skim through and just take on board anything that might help you (that said – it would be great if you could pass on the charity links in any way you are able)

Randy

* $97 Software for $5,…Here’s the Catch!

If you are a ClickBank vendor you will realise that you can only have affiliates promote one product via your standard ‘hoplink’.

This can be quite frustrating, especially if you want to create discount pages for your affiliates to promote.
And even more frustrating if an affiliate approaches you and asks if you can set up a personalised discount page.

Well John Thornhill and Dave Nicholson had the exact same problem when a big name guru asked for a special discount page to promote one of their products they were selling via ClickBank.

They knew that they couldn’t set the page up via ClickBank. So Dave got to work and created a product that enabled a page special personalised discount page to be set up and ClickBank Affiliate Master was born.

This proved to be such a success Dave and John decided to make this product available to everyone along with a series of training videos showing you how to maximise your ClickBank sales by offering affiliates personalised discount pages.

If you sell products on ClickBank I highly recommend you check this out as it will help you make more sales, period.

http://www.randolfsmith.com/recommends/CBAM/

Here’s the catch….

John and Dave are once again using the power of giving *Exceptional Value* on the front end,in order to be able to tempt you with an upsell for a heap of products for a bargain price!

Well – you didn’t expect anything different really did you?

The point here is that this is a stand alone piece that doesn’t require the upsell – so you get a bargain and save $92 !
Whether you’re tempted by the upsell is up to you.
But do grab the software as it it easy and very very useful for when you get a product onto the clickbank marketplace

Nuff Said

Randy
P.S. – Speaking of WSO’s

I had a phone call from one subscriber telling me he missed the chance to grab PLR to my 7 key elements wso when he bought the wso for $5….
So here’s a tempter for you
Grab the “7 Key Elements” here:
http://randolfsmith.com/recommends/7KeysWSO/

They take the upsell for PLR
Then send me a support ticket, and I’ll send you the initial $5 back

Is this for everyone?… Basically YES.

* Catch Up

Hi Everyone,
I thought I’d try and give a quick catch up before announcing the results of the competition
It’s been yet another busy week of feeling like I’ve got nothing done…lol
I think that could be largely due to having a few days partying as yesterday was Rachel and my 3rd anniversary of the day we met
So with Halloween partys from Friday night (after babysitting), then early anniversay nights out Saturday, chilling time Sunday and more partys Monday, it feels like I’m partied out …lol

As for the rest of the week earlier – I had meetings with my mate Terry Dollard trying to teach me more techy stuff as well as discussing how to get NicheMarketPLR online and which payment processor to use??,

Then writing copy for John Thornhills WSO Domination (that was cool as I got early access and have included a review below)
I also had one of my daughters move house – so that naturally lead to a lot of back and forth, fetching and carrying…haha

Hence the feeling of having got nothing done…lol
Fortunately, with a couple of emails to my list and the few posts I have managed to get online, I have seen some income from sales and commissions
The special $9 offer for RandysMoreMonthly got a few clicks, so I obviosuly have new subscribers who’ve not see the value in that site yet (do check it if you haven’t already)

My 7 Key Elements WSO with the PLR upsell has done well and made a good few sales (although I did think the PLR rights would have sold more?… it is a great chance to get a quality product you can use as your own)
And of course the email I sent for John’s WSO Domination has earned me immediate commissions as well as recurring ones from the bargain upsell – more on that below.. (see the review)

I did plan on investigating a couple of other products that launch today (the ones that look good from good marketers), But being honest, I haven’t had the time. So they just get a berief mention below!

And with this week having a start today, an interview booked for Friday, a meeting with John (and some of his subscribers) Thursday, it looks like being another hectic week!
PLUS – do mark your calendars this month.. the 29th will be my 49th birthday (that’s more a reminder for my kids who all seem to think I’ve OLD already!!!!
See – I can’t be old as I’m not even 50 for over a year yet!!… and even when I get there – 50 isn’t old… it’s just getting on a bit! (Isn’t it??)

Right – enough rambling on – lets’ see who won the competition

Randy
=====

* And The Winners Are…. (Competition Results)

OK – here we go:

In this post I announced a competition to win one of 3 Camtasia licenses and 3 Snagit licenses.
I had a good number of entries, and I really wish I had a prize for everyone… But hey, at least they got a backlink from a PR3 blog

So thank you to everyone that entered!

And now for the winners:
I’ve checked Google Analytics for the overall winner, the rest of the entries were written down on old fashioned pieces of paper and 5 names pulled out of the hat (actually a large coffee cup, but you know what I mean)…lol

So – Drum Roll please…….

The most traffic was sent by…..

Keith Purkiss – Thanks Keith – You just won yourself a license for Camtasia Studio

The next two entries out of the hat for Camtasia Licenses were….

Der Rerrr Rerr Rerr Rump (You try typing a drum rol!!)

Trish Findlay and Jennifer Taylor
Congratulations Ladies

And the next 3 names out of the hat for our 3 Snagit License Winners are:

Mary Kathan, Dee Ann Rice, & Carol Smith
Congrats Ladies (Again… lol – I only just noticed Keith is the only male winner!! – Looks like the Girlie Gangs take more action that us guys??)

Would you all please submit a ticket on my support desk so I can be sure you get the license keys and download instructions

So thank you once again to everyone who entered, I hope the winners make great use of their prizes

Cheers
Randy

* WSO Domination Review

WSO Domination… Wow Super Offer – or Wasteful Silly Offer??

With all the buzz surounding this particular offer, and considering that there have been so many ‘clickbank’ offers this last couple of years that just haven’t lived up to their salespage claims…

I thought we’d take a more detailed look at what you actually get with John Thornhills WSO Domination!

Has he just ‘slapped’ a quick report together based on the popularity of WSO’s lately, Or is this a real course that can actually help people?
John Thornhill does have a reputation for delivering high quality products, and for being one of the genuine hype free marketers online today.

He has built that reputation over many years of sticking to his principles and helping thousands of people finally move forward in their online efforts….
BUT…..
Could he have been lead to the dark side by the amazing popularity of the WSO special offers forum?

FACT: – he has had a massive amount of success over the last 12 months releasing WSO special offers. So it will be interesting to see if that success has tempted him over to the dark sidce of marketing that seems to revolve around ‘knocking together’ a quick report, selling it cheap and having a higher tiocket upsell in place to maximise profit from what is essentially information that most already know!

FACT: – A great many others have followed that pattern lately, and with the ability to now bring affiliates on board when promoting a wso – it is a place that has got a lot more attention from some marketers after a quick buck!

FACT: - There are also some fantastic bargains to be had on the warrior special offer forum! – Hence it’s not surprising that a lot of genuine marketers have gathered there to show their wares!

So what about WSO Domination?
Does it really help people make the most of this ever growing marketplace of targeted ready to invest buyers?

Well here’s my opinions having looked around the course:

My Review of WSO Domination
——————————————–

The Pro’s
————-

On gaining access to the membership I can see straight away that this is NOT a quicky report thrown toegther in order to capitalise on the current WSO popularity.

There is an upsel which I make mention of in the cons – but in fairness .. What offers don’t carry an upsell these days?
That said – It is not part of the training and would not be essential in order to benefit from the main product! (Don’t you just hate it these days when the main product is practically useless without the upsell?)

So no – this product stands well on it’s own merit (with OR without the cheaply priced upsell option)

The main product is broken down into managable chunks of information.
This is great for those wishing to ‘skip’ some of the theory modules, as they could be considered to be basic information. Obviously neccessary to those who are new to the concept, but easily skimmed through by more experienced marketers.

Following through the modules – they do all make sense in the order they are presented, and anone who does follow each step will gain a very good understanding of the what, why, and how in a very detailed way.

This Comprehensive Bluprint Covers:

* Phase One – Theory
9 Part Step by step training

* Phase Two – Listing a WSO
8 Part Detailed Steps

* Phase Three – Making Money
5 Part Step by Step (moneky see monkey do) Training

* Advanced Training
6 Part ‘Must Have’ breakdowns

* Extras
WSO Domination Mind Map
100 Niche List Mind Map
Bonus Software (sells for $97) – EXTREMELY Helpful!
More Useful Software (sells For $27) – Major Time Saver
PLUS Two Extra Bonuses ($47 & $27 Value) – Helpful for beginners!

The training is Seriously Step By Step and comes in the following formats:
Online
MP4
iPad
iPhone
iPod
PDF

Making them easily accessible to Anyone and Everyone regardless of their preferred learning style or method!

Regarding the actual content, it appears that no stone has been left unturned in ensuring this is not a teaser program that leaves people stuck on various aspects, or searching for weeks to learn how to do some of the basic things needed!

Overall it would seem that EVERY ASPECT has genuinely been covered in this STEP by STEP course that will guide the buyers/student to FINALLY seeing results that other programs would have you believe possible, but then go on to be yet another too complicated, too time consuming or parts missing type of program.

The Con’s
————-

There is an upsell in place to a private forum and ongoing help.
(it’s NOT required, so it could be argued that this is just good marketing practice, also – it is reasonably priced underthe $10 mark, so it’s not an expensive option for those on a limited budget)

One could argue that the fact that the training is so comprehensive is actually a negative.
BUT only in terms of those searching for a ‘get rich quick’ easy option!

Which brings us to the only main negative I’ve found in this course….

It Requires genuine Work and Effort!

You will have to create products, and preferably ones that add value to the buyers.
(I can forsee that many buyers will take shortcuts and this will lead to more rubbish being touted in the wso section of the warrior forum) 

For anyone considering this as a quick buck income method – the major negative is that it does teach real ways of making a genuine income and building a long term business. So it doesn’t solve any challenge for fast buck merchants.

Actually – reading my own words here makes me realise that only those who are after the ‘Get Rich Quick’ – without Providing Value would really consider these point negative!

So I’ll move on to my conclusion.

Conclusion:
—————–

WSO domination isn’t a quick read report, and is in fact a full blown training course laid out in a step by step manner for all levels of marketers to be able to take advantage of.

It’s filled with content that genuinely covers every aspect step by step.

The bonsues are actually useful and make a great addition to the main core training.

All in all – this product is Excellent Value for money and I feel confident it will actually help a lot of people get started in finally getting a return on their investment of both time and money they have made in searching for genuine income methods that work in the online marketplace.

My Recommendation:
Check it out, and if you either have the ability yourself to create products, or the knowledge to outsource product creation. Then this will help you make a lot more money a lot faster than many methods that hit our inboxes on a daily basis!

Here is my affiliate link to the free video for you to check:
I will be compensated and make a commission if you decide to invest in the product, but I sincerely hope you can see that my review is genuine, and not just for the few dollars in commissions.

Regards
Randy
P.S. The Price will be increasing on Thursday – so do check it sooner rather than later!

* Another Couple Of Launches This week…

Also Launching today are:

Digi Traffic Accelerator
500 push-button backlinks for just $1

If you’re interested in getting truly VAST amounts of traffic, you’re going to be very interested in this…
It’s the hot new technique that’s making waves in IM, and it’s going to completely change the way you build backlinks…
Because let’s be honest, not all backlinks are created equal.

But Andy Fletcher’s found a way to identify the BEST…
The ones that pump the most link juice, drive the most traffic and pull the most weight in the SERPS.
Anyone else would write a report they’d try and sell for $47 telling everyone about it, but not Andy.
Because he knows you don’t want something that just tells you how to do it… you want something that does it for you.
So he’s built a tool that’ll build you over 500 of these A-grade links at the push of a button.

Digi Traffic Accelerator is a desktop app that will -

-  Build you over 500 premium Traffic Accelerator backlinks at the push of a button
-  Completely automate account creation and confirmation on hundreds of Traffic Accelerator sites
-  Flood your site with targeted traffic (I mean it… these backlinks are built exactly where they’ll give you the most possible traffic, and you get over 500 every time you push the button!)
-  Use advanced human mimic technology so you get the best possible stick rate
-  Integrate with three different well-known Captcha-breaking services so you can crack all captchas on autopilot, or if you prefer you can do it manually from the software

And the best part?  Right now you can try it out for just $1.
But hurry – Andy’s only selling 3000 copies to make sure the sites aren’t overloaded, and it’s going to sell out FAST.
Grab it now -

http://www.digiresults.com

Seriously, this is going to change the way you look at link building!  Get it while you still can -
I haven’t had chance to do more than take a quick look at this – BUT, I can say I’ve got several of Andys products and they do work well!
So If you would care to check it out and make your own mind up, I can assure you that he is a good guy and the guarantees will be solid!

http://www.digiresults.com

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

The other BIG Launch today is:

Auto Build It

You’ve probably already had hundreds of emails about ‘Auto Build It’ from other marketers.
It’s another program that looks great, but I’ve not had chance to test it yet….

So why would I give it a link?
Because knowing the people behind it I suspect it will be a very useful tool that will work!

That said – I genuinely don’t think it’s for everyone!

If you’ve been held back by the lack of techy skills to get things done, like building your own squeeze pages, affiliate pages, sales pages, membership sites or any other sort of websites. Then it might well be worth looking at!.
Or if you just find that those parts of your business take a heck of a lot of time and you don’t mind paying to save some of that time…. then also – do check it out!

This software does a heap of different things that can make it easier and save you time

So I do recommend that you check out what it does and make your own mind up as to whether it will be of benefit to you!

But do remember what I always say…. If you are not going to use it to it’s full potential – then don’t spend cash on something that will just sit around not getting used… especially as there is an ongoing subscription!

Hope that helps… Especially when the world and his dog will be telling you it’s a must have tool
