I hope you’re having a productive week
(and also that you didn’t get caught out with
too many April fools jokes on the 1st)

I would have loved to have sent one – but I’ve honestly
been too busy trying to juggle a house move, work, and
my social life (I even fitted in a hour or so interview
today, where a big name interviewed ME! hehe – you’ll hear
about that mid May I think)

In fact I’m sitting here writing this after midnight
with a sore backside due to sitting on a temporary wooden
stool…..lol

Half my stuff is over at the new place and the rest is
still here (I got let down with a van I was supposed to be
borrowing)…. but hey – sometimes we have challenges to
overcome right

I do seem to have had a share of them with some more to come
over the next few weeks, but you don’t need all the small details….

The main thing to take from it is that I do recognise
that WE ALL get challenges!

It’s how we face them that can affect the outcome – so I’m
keeping it positive knowing that it’ll all be good in the long term!

Sometimes when we can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel – we
have to have faith that if we just “keep on keeping on” it’ll all
work itself out… I do – and it usually does – so I hope it does
for you too if you’re currently working through any!

So before anyone says they saw the light and it was just an oncoming train…

I’ll get on with this weeks Ramble.

* Earning Money Online Isn’t As Easy As Some Say!
(Recommendation)

I thought I’d start this week with a recommendation,
a solution to some big blogging challenges, and
at the same time get myself into a little trouble…lol

(‘cos we’re not supposed to admit online stuff can be hard!)

You see it does get to me sometimes how many people are
taken in by the shear volume of ‘pitches’ that tell us
how ‘Easy’ this is all supposed to be!

Don’t be fooled when people tell you that making
money online is easy.

It never is, and never will be!

If it were really that easy, why is it that 95 out of
100 people fail miserably when they try to make
money online?

We’ve all seen the screenshots of fake earnings those
“pretend-gurus” put up on their websites simply for the
sake of convincing you that they make tons of money
online and yeah we’ve seen the real ones who already have
huge lists and do make it (but how often do we see the
overnight successes they speak of?)

So You and I need to be wary these days.
In other words – should we believe it’s all so easy?

Yeah right, we are supposed to!

This myth could not be further from the truth.

To really be able to make it online, just like
any endeavour, we need to put in conscientious effort
and hard word first before you can see any results.

Hey – I had 5 years of failing before I started making
anything regular!

You need the basic foundations first, just like a baby
who’s trying to learn how to walk.

Learn how to earn $10 first before wanting to earn $100.
Learn how to make $100 first before dreaming to make $1000.

I hope this is making sense?
Hence my recommendation today…

I would say I came across this site by accident, but that
would be a lie!

Welly actually contacted me and asked if I would take a
look at his product, And yes – let me be up-front with you.
This site is trying to sell you something.

But hey, isn’t everyone?

With that said, let me now tell you how different this
site is, and why I am happy to recommend it.

Welly actually tells you straight to your face that
making money online is hard. He doesn’t promise you
instant riches with no work.

Instead, He firmly believes that in order to start
succeeding online you need to work hard and smart.

I mean, can you get more and up-front than that?
What I love about this product is that it does actually
leave nothing to guesswork.

He gives 5 different pdf’s to be read in a specific order.
Nice and easy to follow along with so anyone can benefit
from the simple instructions in getting going with blogging!

(Sidenote – don’t most marketers use blogs these days to
link to their salespages?)

Here’s what he covers:

1. Introduction & How To Make Money From Your Blog
2. How To Build Your WordPress Blog Step By Step
3. Choosing The Right Market & How To Attract Visitors To Your Blog
4. How To Do Effective Keyword Research
5. Ideas For Your Blog Content

Every one is a product worthy in it’s own right – but you
get the lot.

Heck there’s even a quality freebie for anyone not sure
if the investment is too large….lol

OK – the lol there was because of the value in the
package 

Basically – after reading through the content I did say
I’d be happy to promote it..
(This is the part where I’m supposed to say I twisted
Wellys’ arm and bullied him into a major discount)

Truth be told – Welly was so thrilled that I praised his
work because he’s been an admirer of mine for a couple of years -
that he arranged a special for me
(How nice is that)

I do recommend you take a look – it is a long salespage and
you’d think it was going to be a high ticket product…

But the special gets you all 5 pdf’s for just $10

Enough Said

* Last Reminder – Northallerton Meet Up 6th April

I know not many people can make it to Northallerton.
But for those who do – it’s always productive.

Frankly, I’m amazed at the feedback I get from these meetings!
(I would encourage you all to try and meet other marketers
in the flesh – you really would be hard pushed to find a
better way of finding solutions to whatever might be holding
you back!)

So for those who can come – here are the details once more:

Monday April 6th – 11am -around 4pm
Venue – Elders Bar, Elder Road Northallerton.

Any issues – give Randy a call
skype – randolf.smith
msn – randysmith321@hotmail.com

Please do contact me if you are attending
Cheers

I’m expecting some new faces -
so I’m sure we’ll all have a great day

*  Want to meet some Guru’s?
- (and little old me at the other end of the country!)

Speaking of meeting up with other marketers…
I’ve sorted my ticket to the UK’s event of the year

I’m off to Bristol in May 7th – 10th to attend Robert Puddy’s
LFMpire Builders Seminars.

So I’ll be mingling with some new people I’ve never seen as
well as meeting up and getting ridiculously drunk with some old friends

There’s a whole line up of big named speakers to learn from, but
more importantly – there will be a lot of people I already know and
some I don’t who will be getting Acquainted and re-acquainted in the bars
every evening of the event.

It’s seriously like finding a two headed coin!
You just can’t lose…

You get to learn from people at the top of their game…
AND - you get to trade phone numbers with a whole bunch of people
who you can set up JV’s with in future!

If you’re free those dates in May do consider it:

(Even if your not – pull a sicky) <- Joke, I wouldn’t
encourage anyone to be dishonest.

I know I’m really looking forward to it and would love to
meet up with you there if you can go…

What’s more – when I went in 2007 I paid 5 times the price of this
years ticket (The world slump seems to have played in our favour on this!)

And even at the price I paid back then, I can honestly say that
I made my ca$h back from the JV’s and contacts it got me…
That’s why so many do encourage people to go to these events – just
don’t be a wallflower, talk to people!

And for a taste of what happens – do check out my posts about
the 07 event here:

Randys-adventures-at-britpack-day-1/
Randys-adventures-at-britpackday-2/
Randys-adventures-at-britpack-day-3/
Randys-adventures-at-britpack-day-4/

If nothing else it should give you a laugh
Especially where an IMer sold his sisters phone number for a plate of sandwiches
(Warning – only read these posts when you have some time to waste!)

More importantly – take a look at this years event and see
if you can get there:
Don’t leave it too long to look – there is an early bird
discount applied…
And DO let me know if you’re going so we can meet up.

* Exciting news – Anton & I have a Squeeze Page up

Smiling at myself here…
I nearly forgot to add a note/update about The Guru Bypass System!

How unbelievable would that have been…lol
Anton is raring to go and let this system loose, but I keep
wanting to add more to it – we both want it to be the best
product it can be for helping little guys get some cash made instead
of constantly spending it and still struggling.

I’m so excited that Anton initially shared this with me – but I
do wonder if he regrets doing so sometimes….lol
Every time he thinks it’s ready – I remind him of more of the back
office stuff that has to be sorted when launching a product…

Anyway – we finally have a Squeeze page up for those who want to
know about it the second we have a beta version for people to test.

http://www.gurubypass.com/squeeze.html

I hope you’ll excuse my humor/humour on the page, but I do think
these things can get too serious sometimes. I was very tempted to have a
beautiful lady squeezing her assets – but thought better of it!

It could be just that I’m a little over confident because of the
results I’ve seen possible with the system? – hence I know I can
affords to have small digs at the gurus…hehe

I do respect them – I’m just extremely thrilled that a relative
newcomer has found a way to make it and bypass all their high
ticket products to make some ca$h and build a list of his own!

Anyway – no major pressure, I will keep everyone informed, but
if you would like to grab a beta deal when we have it all
completed – do get on the list.
