Build More Baskets!

Today I am going to recommend a good read, if you haven’t already done so get yourself a copy of:

How to Get Rich

By

Felix Denis

No it’s not one of the increasing numbers of self help books that “show you how to make a million in 10 seconds flat.” The book is described by Felix as an anti-self help book, its purpose to discourage you from even trying to get rich.

Laced with example of Felix’ wit, poetry and gob smacking anecdotes of his rise through the ranks of the magazine publishing business Felix shares his successes and disasters in equal measures and book pulls no punches in doing so.

How to Get Rich acts as both warning and inspiration for those determined to start out on the rocky road to wealth, it is joy to read and contains sage wisdom but none more so that this:

“Continue to weave new baskets”


OR


“Don’t put all your eggs in the one basket”


How many of us have been guilty of doing just that? I certainly have and have been burnt a few times particularly with eBay. Remember the Digital Delivery ban where a large number of businesses selling eBooks and software where wiped out virtually over night.

Or, have eBay changes had a detrimental effect of your business? It happened with mine as eBay changed the rules and decide to ban some of my products (which are freely available for sale on other eBay sites and high street stores). Some of my other products now failed to get on the all important first page because of eBay changes.

The mistake I made was simple; eBay was my strategy and all my eggs in one basket. So I started to make new baskets. I started to produce my own products starting with Plugin Auction Profits my strategy for trading on eBay and Amazon. I started to sell specialist books on Amazon which I buy for a few dollars at a time and flip for a greater price.

I now provide digital content for Amazon’s Kindle eBook platform; I have published my own physical book using Create Space POD (print on demand) service. I collected all these ways of making an extra income together as blueprints and produced 12 Roads to Success which became my first Warrior Forum Special Offer or WSO.

I am now branching out and creating websites for clients based on WordPress, mobile websites and other marketing services. The beauty is that if one of these sources of income dries up or disappears due to changes in Terms of Service I will still have lots of others.

Will I stop Weaving Baskets? No way, and I suggest you don’t stop either.

Happy New Year! What 2012 Has To Offer.

Happy New Year for 2012, I know it’s a  day late (nothing new) but I spent yesterday working on my tax return.

Anyway at the end of the year and the start of the next it is always a time for reflection on the year past and for making plans for the coming year. So what were the high points of 2011 and what do I have planned for 2012.

My major success in 2011 was my Kindle publishing sales of my books have been growing since April and now have exceeded 500 per month for the past four months.

I started by publishing PLR materials and some Public Domain works, once I had work out how best to do this I now use this strategy for all be Kindle books. I have even published my plan The Kindle Cash Machine and shot 13 over the shoulder videos to help others to copy my system.

Just over a month ago Amazon released the new generation of Kindle tablets in the US, the flagship product the Kindle Fire is not simply an eBook reader but will allow you to view multimedia content. This opens up a massive opportunity in providing content for the Fire.

Amazon have also made it easy to publish your own content through its Create Space program. This allows anyone to publish content in Audio, Video or even your own Publish On Demand Paperback (POD). It is very easy to do as Create Space walk you through the whole procedure step by step and even provide you with a free ISBN number. I have used this to publish an anthology of my partner’s fiction, the finished is very professional. The cost? Just the cost of a proof copy shipped to the UK $10!

I also released my first WSO with one of my flagship products 12 Roads to Success.

I predict that WSO’s will become much more dominant and better known in the coming year as they offer outstanding value but beware they are not all of the same quality, there are some duff WSO’s s well as some truly amazing one’s.

So to 2012, targets for this year:

  • To grow my list by over 1000 subscribers
  • To update my products, 12 Roads to Success and Plugin Auction Profits (I know I keep promising this but I will do it!)
  • To increase my Kindle sales to 1000 a month
  • To build WordPress websites to help Local Businesses advertise themselves
  • Not to buy any product I will not use

But most importantly to have as much fun with my lovely partner as I can!

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year.  Rob..

The Warrior Forum is a very busy place these days, Warrior Special Offers or WSO’s are all the rage, you see there are some excellent products to be had at rock bottom prices. I know because I have bought a few myself.

This sells on for $27 on Clickbank.

The price on Warrior Forum, $5, and this include free updates for life.  There is a $10 upsell of 10 standalone plans to help you build your business. I have used Warrior Plus which costs $19 for the licence usage plus the $40 listing fee to make this live.

WSO’s The Future Of Marketing?

Warrior Forum Special Offers or WSO’s are all the rage at the moment, my inbox gets clogged up every day with a whole range of WSO’s or WSO of the day. There are some outstanding products for sale at unbelievable prices and recently there has been an influx of products from highly respected and successful marketers.

Some WSO’s offer outstanding value attracting a high number of visitors and have a huge volume of resulting sales. Some often very worthy WSO’s attract a much smaller visitor volume. I have bought a few WSO’s recently that will help me grow my business.

Clearly some offers are going to convert much better than others and some money making/automation/simple step methods will be more popular than others. But and this is a valid point you see some offers where you feel the seller hasn’t got it right for some reason, maybe the sales copy is not right, or that they don’t come over as being very helpful, or you find out you need to take an upsell to get the product to work (doesn’t that just suck!!).

I have been wanting to run a WSO’s on some of my own products but felt that I needed some advice. So a few weeks ago I contacted my mentor John Thornhill who has recently run some very successful WSO’s. In his reply John told be he was preparing a step by step training course called WSO Domination that would show all you need to do to prepare and launch a WSO.

I decided to hold fire and get this exactly right and I am glad I did. WSO Domination gives you everything that you need to prepare and launch, manage and profit from your own WSO.

This Comprehensive Blueprint 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 (monkey 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!

There is an upsell, BUT you DON’T need this to make this work!!

Checkout the Video HERE

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.

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 bonuses 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!

Oh yes I forgot the price! Just $10 until THURSDAY 3rd November when it will be $29.95.

WSO’s are all the rage, jump onto the bandwagon and get this while it’s too cheap!

Shiny Things

Shiny things are nice, they attract your attention, they make you feel good about yourself, they raise your spirits, shiny things are nice!! People love shiny things.

But….. Shiny things can get in the way of making any meaningful progress, you get distracted by the next shiny thing and then the next and you never really finish with one shiny thing before you move onto the next shiny one with all the new shiny stuff and shiny promises.

In the beginning you buy lots of shiny things because they either seem to make things so easy just 8 clicks of the mouse and money flood into your bank account, when it doesn’t work you move onto the next shiny thing there is always plenty of choice.

There are lots of shiny things to buy in my e-mail inbox every day. I don’t buy many shiny things these days; they always end up costing you a lot more money than you think.

Shiny things come in lots of different guises but I am taking about “Make Money Online” Products. I don’t buy many of these but I have bought some, ones that I think will help me grow my business, ones that offer excellent content and excellent value.

I bought John Thornhill’s and Dave Nicholson’s Multi Profit Monthly for $5 and The Ultimate Facebook Challenge by Maria Gudelis for $7.

Both of these were WSO and deliver awesome content and value. I bought a new shiny thing last night Lee McIntyre’s Internet Automation Plan this was selling for $997 but “Bonkers Lee” is now selling for $5! Over 10 hours of quality video training.


I have only just started to go through the modules and have already found some real gems. I like this shiny thing and I also like the price. You will too, because for a limited time only this will be available for just $5.

If you are serious about learning about building an online business then you really need to check this out.

For the price of a McDonalds I got myself a McIntrye instead. More satisfying and better for you in the long run.

Can You Really Make Money On Kindle?

Here is a very simple set and forget income source that I set up 5 months ago. I started to publish materials for Amazons Kindle eBook reader. This is one of the hottest selling products around and really is a licence to print money. If you are not selling on Kindle you are really leaving money on the table.

Amazon really has created a revolution in publishing recent figures from Amazon tell the tale. For every 100 physical books sold on Amazon there are 105 Kindle books sold. It is estimated that Amazon has sold in excess of 8 Million Kindles. Now that creates an opportunity, because Amazon needs content and lots of it. This is how we will start to make money.

Amazon has levelled the playing field for small publishers (that’s you and me) by allowing anyone to publish on Kindle and Create Space Amazon’s Publish On Demand or POD service) publishing your own content is completely free, provided the content complies with their Terms of Service (TOS). That removes all the barriers to self publishing that has stopped so many people from succeeding.

The traditional route of approaching publishers suffering rejection often for years on end is over. This has allowed some people to make their entire income publishing on Kindle.

But most of us will perhaps never write a novel.

So here’s how we can do it, we will be publishing Non Fiction Information Products (books) and we will provide outstanding value and content. At first glance this may look little different from selling Information Products on eBay. With Kindle all the delivery is done for you electronically, there are no products to ship. It is a real set and forget business. You can also sell the same content on eBay and deliver as a physical product yourself.

There are lots of really HOT markets on Kindle so we will take a look at these, surprisingly the “Make Money Online” products are NOT big sellers so it may be better to steer clear of these, at least in the beginning until we have learned to market our other products correctly.


HERE ARE SOME HOT KINDLE MARKETS:

  • Health and Fitness
  • Diet
  • Cooking
  • Technology
  • Current Events
  • How to Guides

All of these are excellent areas to target as all these niches have lots of sub-niches so that we can really provide targeted content.

I have prepared a special report showing how I went from Zero Sales to 1,500 sales in less than 5 months. I am giving away this report completely free. Grab your copy now.

Put your Kindle business on steroids with my complete business plan where “The Kindle Cash Machine” I show you exactly how I did this and how you can do it too. This is a complete set and forget plan do the work once and get paid for years I show you exactly how I did it

Here is the chance to start building a complete publishing business on a shoestring, grab yourself a slice of the Kindle pie…. Rob
