NEVER before in history could a REAL TRUE grass roots campaign have taken effect with JUST THE RIGHT message and and NOT the right amount of money.

Just 20 years ago, if you wanted anyone to hear you, you had to have the money in your party and not always the message. Or heck… you could have been like Ross Perot and bought your way into a party nomination

How may good presidents have we never seen because they did not have the money to go against people with deep pockets and lots of money pouring in from lobbyist?

Ron Paul has the right message (for many) as is obvious by his popularity with web savvy people (like me.) Yes, I even donated to his campaign and I wear his shirt on my little carton below (many of you picked up on that.)

But here is a person that, along with his team, REALLY AND TRULY get social media marketing better tha, honestly, anyone I have ever seen.

THEY ALL LAUGHED WHEN I SAID I WANT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT…. THEN I RELEASED MY YOUTUBE VIDEOS…

Here is a guy that some would have laughed at 4 years ago because he had very very very little financial backing. TODAY, he as set a record for the MOST MONEY EVER RAISED in one day in the history of American politics! Way to go Ron!

I honestly feel, that you are witnessing the future of American and World politics. Finally GRASS ROOTS can get the message out.

But with that said, I think Ron Paul is actually 4 or even 8, or 12 years ahead of his time. He has changed the way politicians get the message out. Again, you need a good message to do it.

While I AM a Ron Paul supporter, I also encourage you to watch his marketing and how he uses social media better than any person in the history of the Internet.

He raised $6 Million in one day! Never had that been done before.

So sites to pay attention to are:

http://RonPaul2008.com
http://www.teaparty07.com/
http://www.ronpaulblimp.com/

Or just Youtube Search Ron Paul. Then you will see why it is OBVIOUS he gets SOCIAL MARKETER OF THE YEAR!

You want to read this. It is time to start lowering your prices and offering even more value to win in the coming months.

But before your RUN and knee-jerk react to what I am saying, make sure to read the entire blog post. It could have a MAJOR impact on your business if you UNDERSTAND this going into 2008.

The economy is in a funk. Here is the US, there is no doubt about it.

The War in Iraq has the US Gov’t printing money like Parker Bros. does for monopoly.

And every day our dollar gets weaker in the Global economy.

That means higher shipping prices and higher prices over all.

Compound that with Banks on the run and foreclosure ratings nearing and all time high… the bottom line is this:

TIMES WILL BE BAD FOR A WHILE>>> VERY BAD

You see, people could always go back to the well. Rate were at 5.9% and you could refinance and get $100k, $80, $20k, $50K…

Over and over… and this money went RIGHT BACK into the economy. Right into HOME DEPOT, plumbers, fences, contractors, roofing, vacations, and yes… even YOUR products and services.

Now… The well has run dry. There is no where else to run. People will now realize there is no were else to get that easy money.

And now, there will be a HUGE trickle down effect as well.

And you will see it in less people buying your products. PERIOD. If you have no money or are losing your job or house, you are less likely to spend any money you have!

So YOUR CONVERSION WILL SUFFER…

But, THERE IS AN UPSIDE…if you market in the B2B or “Internet Marketing” or Home based Biz world.

You see, when the WELL GOES DRY, more and more people will be flocking to online marketing.

So you may still see the same number of sales every day. It will be because you are going to see even MORE people coming into online marketing. So you may have your conversion rate got from 3% to 1% but you may see your site visitors go from 30 per day to 90 per day. At the end of the day, if we are lucky, we may just make the same amount of money ONLY because there will be more people coming into the market.

BUT.. HOW CAN YOU INCREASE BUSINESS knowing this information.

My advice to you is to provide MORE FREE CONTENT.

People will be looking more and more for GOOD QUALITY CONTENT on starting an online business. They just want have that EASY AS PIE disposable income that they once might have had. They will be flocking to people that offer FREE content and at good usable quality as well.

But it should not stop there. Consider your pricing strategy. Normal I would tell you to raise your prices and just offer more value. But with the economy taking a sharp turn, I think if you win in all ways as for as a better product/rvice with the best support, and combine that with a competitive pricing structure, your legion of fans from your FREE content will be more likely to becoming LOYAL LIFETIME CUSTOMERS.

And remember, your competition is not giving out any good free content. And he/she is not paying attention to the fact that it will not be easy for people buy at an impulse anymore.

People in the marketplace will be thinking a lot more about the risk before they make purchases. If you keep this blog post in mind over the next year and until we see a new spike in the economy, it can really help you to capitalize on INCREASED MARKET SAHRE AND PROFITS while while many will be singing the retail blues.

Hi Guys,

You probably know that I was a teacher on episode 7 of The Next Internet Millionaire. That’s where I met Jaime Luchuck, and, I have to say, she really impressed me.

What you guys might not know, is that I stayed around the set of The Next Internet Millionaire for a few days after my episode, so I really got to know the remaining contestants.

Jaime came to The Next Internet Millionaire with no knowledge of Internet marketing, and is now in the final 2.

I want to see her win this thing. Jaime, in addition to being professional and smart, is someone who is eager to learn.

But, what I liked most about her, is that she is a real person. She’s down to earth and funny. And that’s why I would like to see her succeed.

In addition to writing a book about her experiences on the show (that can be bought on Amazon.com), Jaime is hosting a webinar program called Success in 12 Weeks. I highly recommend this program.

Jaime has detailed out exactly what is needed to have a successful online business, and has used her contacts from the show to entice twelve proven Internet experts teach her how to put such a business together.

And, by participating in the weekly sessions, you get to build your successful business too.

You can be a beginner, intermediate or advanced in the world of business – and this program will help you.

Imagine being taught by the likes of Jeff Walker, Mark Joyner, Ray Edwards, Simon Leung, Rick Raddatz, Marlon Sanders, Christina Hills, Michael Koenigs, Gary Ambrose and Bob Jenkins.

And that’s not all – there will be even more exciting guest speakers.

Why I especially love Jaime’s Success in 12 Weeks program is that because Jaime, herself, is a “newbie”, she is going to make sure that she gets all the information she needs out of these experts.

Because she has no prior knowledge – nothing will get left-out. And she will be blogging about her experiences, problems and solutions throughout the week so that any questions that do come out – will be answered in her special members-only blog.

Like I said, I can’t recommend this Success in 12 Weeks program and Jaime enough!

Because Jaime is trying to win The Next Internet Millionaire competition, she is offering her program at the very low price for this week only. Hard to say ‘No.’ to that…

So check out…

Butterfly Marketing
proves to be just as powerful in strategies then in the software itself. Below
you will find a student and customer of the course. Michael Cheney and I have
had an opportunity to meet over the last few weeks with the success of his
launch (See below).

Michael applied the the
pre-launch strategies and affiliate tools and JV strategies (Butterfly Effects)
to the his launch. I can go on and on, but I will let you read what Mike had to
say below.

Are there really
14,645 words and phrases
that sell?

Larry Dotson and Mike Filsaime

Do you have a website?  Then
you’ve likely heard stories about webmasters who are just raking it in hand over
fist – piles of dinero left and right.

What on earth are these guys
doing??  Are we talking ties to the mob or something?

Nope.  Nothing that dramatic.

In fact, some of them just send
out a few emails each week.  Maybe spend an hour or two researching.

They do know a little secret
that eludes many marketers.  These successful webmasters  have an uncanny way of
reaching out to the folks who visit their websites, and making them feel warm
and welcome.

Website visitors sign up for a
weekly message, and the relationship starts forming.  Gradually, they feel like
they know the sender.  They trust the sender.  And they buy from the sender.

So how do you write emails that
foster that kind of positive relationship?  Simple.  You just write to the
audience as if they’re your best buddy. 

“Oh, my, how unprofessional!”
you might think.  No, no, a thousand times – no.  Folks don’t create
relationships with “professionals”.  They connect with real people.  And you
want your emails to show that you’re “real people” – not some untouchable, high
and mighty marketer.

A funny thing happens when you
start communicating your heart to your subscribers.  They start writing back to
you as if you’re their friend.  They listen when you recommend a product.  If
you’re all excited and passionate about the next new widget… well, your readers
are going to get psyched with you!

Too many folks send newsletters
a mile and a half long.  That’s what we call in the South  “overstaying your
welcome”.  When a friend opens your message, they know it’s not going to take
all day to read.  Offer the same courtesy to your subscribers.  Give them a
friendly hello, and get right to the meat of your message.

Above all, connect.  Share a
little of your life in your emails.  It could be as simple as saying, “Man, I
spent all yesterday entertaining the preschoolers who came to my daughter’s
birthday party.  Am I ever pooped!”  Take time to wish your audience a
successful week.

They’ll love you.  They’ll
trust you.  They’ll feel comfortable buying from you.

After all, the way to a
customer’s heart is – well, through their heart!

have a better lifestyle for my family."

  
"No, God will not let me down.
He will save me."

  
A Helicopter crew says,
"Please, GET IN!! This is your last
chance! You WILL drown!"

P.P.S. - Feel free to send FWD this article
to anyone you think needs it too.

Hello, I just wanted to share some ideas with you.
