Bankruptcy to Millionaire

I’m going to break this up first I’m going to list all the things I know I could be doing, and develop a sort-of timeline so I can really focus on each project and see it through to completion.

To Do List 8-1-2008 (Friday)

• Write at least 1 hour on adwords presentation
• Post a contest blog entry
• Create To-Do List 8-2-2008

It’s short for tomorrow, because I have a late night business meeting. And it’s a Friday. Monday will be a busy evening for me.

I don’t update here often, and as far as I’m aware, at the moment I have near zero readers. And that’s fine by me. I haven’t given up my goal, in fact I’m doing quite a bit. But as this blog doesn’t actually make any money, I don’t see a whole lot of reason to continue to update it regularly when I haven’t made any major breakthroughs. However, I do get a chance to try some SEO with this blog, because it does home SOME google authority.

So when I have ideas (such as the American Idol posts a while back, I can try them here without starting a whole new website. Which google doesn’t give much weight to) I just try them out here. I wanted to try ranking in google for “Traffic Secrets Review” with this blog. Not becuase I expect to sell a ton of Traffic Secrets courses, but I do like to try new ways of gaining search traffic, for my other sites. (Right now, I think I have about a dozen or so sites online)

So, now here’s where the confusion comes in. I wrote the article a few days ago, and I check the next day, it’s indexed on page 3 of google. “So Far So Good” I think. Now I just need to build some links to it, and maybe do a BMD run, and see where that gets me. So I put a “Traffic Secrets Review” blogroll link on about 3 of my blogs. Left a couple of comments linking directly to the article, and didn’t even do a BMD run.

So pretty natural, and not spammy at all. Then I wrote one more article with the purpose of getting more keyword authority, and then linking to the original article. Giving the article (with my affiliate link) more link juice.

I check the next day. DEINDEXED! What the fuck? This has happened to me before, I had instant indexing, and the next day I’m deindexed. But I hadn’t done any link building. So once I built some links, the article got reindexed.

But this time is different. This time my traffic secrets article got deindexed AFTER link building. But maybe it’s just not ENOUGH links? Maybe with this article and a BMD run, maybe I’ll get reindexed? IDK, I’ll report after I find out.

***sometimes google just baffles me***

I’m even now MORE thoroughly impressed with the Traffic Secrets 2.0 experience that I was when I wrote the Traffic Secrets Review.

I love it when companies OVERDELIVER. Even though I have not recieved my Traffic Secrets 2.0 package, John Reese did send out an email to everyone who purchased it. And I found out some things I didn’t know about what I was getting, and am now even more excited about what I am getting (even if Traffic Secrets 2.0 is a waste of money or full of fluff, I’m going to get enough bonuses and other crap to almost make the $400 investment STILL worth it.).

Here are some of my favorite parts from John Reese’s email to Traffic Secrets 2.0 purchasers:

1. Unbelievable Response To Traffic Secrets 2.0!

Thousands of people ordered the course on
the launch day and our company couldn’t be
happier. It’s obvious that many people, like YOU,
saw the incredible value of what we were offering
and rushed to place their order.

So now our company is focused on serving YOU
and the rest of our customers. And I, personally,
want you to know something…

At Income.com, and what we’re trying to build
with this new company, your success is very
important to us. I know other companies say
things like that, but with us it’s really true.

It’s actually very simple as to WHY…

The more success stories we create and the
more people we actually help succeed the
more word of mouth we will receive and the
more people we’ll be able to reach and so on.

And the fact that if our products DON’T help
you then others will find out and no one will
want or need our products. So we HAVE TO
perform well for you and that’s all we are
focused on.

So YOUR RESULTS are our primary focus.
We’re dedicated to helping you and your
business succeed and now that you’ll have
LIFETIME access to Traffic Secrets updates
and the online community, we really do look
forward to working with you and your business(es)
for many years to come.

(And it will become very obvious to you once you
start seeing how we’ll be treating you.)

We’re really out to build something special
with Income.com and we’re very happy
that you’ve decided to join us!

2. You’ll Be Receiving Some Unadvertised Bonuses!

I know you’re anxious to receive the course and
get started and so I just want to say thanks for
your PATIENCE. We’re working hard to get you
your copy of the course (and all your login criteria)
just as fast as we can.

We haven’t yet shipped any courses because
we’re adding some last minute bonus DVDs…

Internet marketer Frank Kern was nice enough to
give everyone that ordered TS2 some bonus DVDs
that cover how to turn traffic into cash through powerful
copywriting and online communications techniques.

(This is VERY VALUABLE stuff. It could easily be
it’s own $500 product.)

So we wanted to make sure and include these
with each order and it’s going to be just a few more
days before we can actually start shipping any
courses. BUT…

Ultimately, you may end up receiving your course
faster this way anyway. Because of all the orders
we received we overwhelmed our fulfillment
company which is now bringing in some extra help
to fulfill all of our orders — because in just a few
more days they’ll have lots of help and can get
everyone’s course out right away. Otherwise
they were going to have to fulfill orders in small
batches — and depending when you placed your
order it could have taken 2-3 weeks or more.

Now they’ll go out faster AND we’ll be able to
include those bonus DVDs for you.

So THANK YOU for your patience. Please know
that we’ll get your course to you as soon as we
possibly can.

We’re also working on setting up your online
learning platform account and your account
for the online community. As soon as you’re
ready to go we’ll be sending you your access
details. (Again, thanks for your patience.)

For those wanting to download the original
Traffic Secrets course it will be at least a week
until we can finish preparing all the files for
download. That course contains many
DVDs and those are BIG files. So it’s taking
a bit of time for us to try and compress them
for faster web downloads.

The second those downloads are ready we’ll
notify you and let you know.

GET READY TO *GROW* YOUR BUSINESS!!!

You’ll be receiving some additional bonuses
from time to time — just my way of overdelivering
for my customers; AND you’ll be getting a few
surprises.

(I can’t let the cat out of the bag just yet!)

So once again THANK YOU so much for your
valued business and for your PATIENCE. We
really appreciate it.”

Granted this could all be just HYPE. But I don’t necessarily think so. (Granted John Reese probably made over a Million Bucks himself on this launch of Traffic Secrets 2.0 in just 24-48 hours). But from the rumors that I’ve heard, John wants to take his company Income.com to astronomical proportions. Not just another “fly-by-night” MMO company.

Instead from what I’ve heard Income.com (I wonder how much he paid for that domain anyway…) could be the next Entrepreneur Press or Nightengale Conant. And from what I’ve heard John’s got TONS of his OWN money wrapped up into this project and so it’s in his best interest to go above and beyond for his first product on the Income.com brand.

Alright that’s all I have to say about Traffic Secret 2.0 for now, until I get the product in the mail then I’ll give a full review. Until then check out my first Traffic Secrets 2.0 Review.

Traffic Secrets review SUPDATE August 11 2008: I have received my copy in the mail. I am working my way through all the DVDs. Then I will give my full and complete thoughts on the product. But as of right now. I’m thoroughly impressed. Thevideos are complete, clear, and informative. Getting through more than 1 a day is tough, because there is SO much information in each CD to be absorbed. The videos play in a Flash player, so they can’t be ripped to MP3’s (at least not in a way that I’m familiar with). So that’s a disadvantage to those looking to listen on the go.

More in the coming days…

As you probably have no doubt heard Traffic Secrets has been released yesterday. To much avail. I’m sure this was a HUGE launch for John Reese and his newly founded Income.com.

I’m always skeptical of large intenet marketing products however that offer “traffic” in an industry that is every changing–how long are these “secrets” going to last. However, since I was fairly impressed with Traffic Secrets 1.0 several years ag, I would at educate myself on the second version of the software.

John Reese is a very respected member of the internet marketing community (minus his whole blugrush debacle… but they can’t all be winners right?). And he’s made TONS of money in the internet arena. So he at least knows his stuff. But how much of this stuff does he share in Traffic Secrets 2.0?

Well, when I saw the pre-launch emails and videos, I was expecting a pretty thorough course, for around the same price that Traffic Secrets 1 sold for ($997 I believe). And at that price, there was little (read: no) chance that I was going to buy it.

But then yesterday as of launch time, I found out it retails for just $397 For:

• 12 Interactive CD’s covering everything from Viral Videos, Adwords Secrets to SEO Secrets, and Content Creation, and tons more. It’ll probably take forever to get through them all.
• A 377 Page Training Guide (that’s not small haha)
• Several “Blueprints” to help out as well
• And something he claims to be a “Step-by-Step” action tracker to success

All in all the New Traffic Secrets comes with a ton of content for a pretty darn good price (considering it was less than HALF The original Traffic Secrets). So I broke down, whipped out the credit card and am having it delivered.

As soon as I get it, I’ll dive right in, and give a full review of all my impressions.

But the fact remains, the course is probably a darn good bargain (even if you just get a couple of secrets out of it that help you grow even a small portion of your business, it’ll end up paying for itself) AND If for some reason I don’t like it. Ship I can ship it back for a full refund.

This means I have 0 risk to at least check it out. And it might just give me the tips and motivation to push me over the edge and start making some real money. Maybe it will do the same for you.

If you’ve been thinking about it, or if you’re just now hearing about it. You might as well at least give the letter a quick read and see if it’s for you. Even if you only think it might be, it’s probably worth a shot, as there is 100% guarantee.
