Gone to California
Just an update on things. I’m typing this from my hotel room in Anaheim, California, where my wife and I are speaking at a seminar. My Internet connection is shoddy and intermittent, so I can’t do much right now. Even typing this blog post feels like pulling teeth. To my coaching students, I will be answering your [...]

Career and Job Industry PLR Articles
Do you run a career planning, job search or other employment related site? If so, and you’ve been using ghost writers to do some of your writing, you know that it is difficult to find knowledgeable writers and that article writing for the career industry can be very pricey.

An Obvious Truth Quadrupled Our Business
It seems there’s a flurry these days of Internet marketers releasing “free reports.” (Admittedly, I’m just as guilty.) But there’s one report I highly recommend you read right now. My good friend, Armand Morin, has just released his free report. In his no-nonsense, no-B.S. style, Armand explains how he made millions online. When I read the first [...]

John s Success with Article Marketing
One of my clients, John Piteo, told me how he was getting traffic to one of his sites and making money from that site by distributing ghost written articles. I found his story quite remarkable from the standpoint that although the article submissions were made years ago and he has done nothing else to the [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “John’s Success with Article Marketing”, url: “http://www.netprofitstoday.com/blog/johns-success-with-article-marketing/” });

Your Reader Wants To Know These 5 Things
The other day, I was asked the following question: “Why should the author of a product be included in their sales copy?

Digital Scarcity: Does It Still Convert?
Scarcity is a tactic often used in copywriting to create a sense of urgency and convince the “on-the-fence” customer to make a purchase decision.

Affmeter Pro Update
A new version of Affmeter Pro ( 2.00.11 ) has just been release with the integration of Onenetworkdirect. Too, we had a couple of questions through the Support Desk about security concerns while using Affmeter that I wanted to address publicly. Affmeter Pro is desktop application, not a web based one. Therefore, your data is not transmitted [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “Affmeter Pro Update”, url: “http://www.netprofitstoday.com/blog/affmeter-pro-update/” });

So in keeping with that tradition, I’d like to post a few of my own. But unlike those who post their predictions in point form, I won’t make a specific [...]
