I found this great little free report by Rich Schefren. He talks about attention spans and focusing on goals, and doing what you need to do to succeed. Most importantly he tells you that he believes that things are going to change dramatically in Internet Marketing, and a lot of the old Marketers are going to fade away. Personally I am all for those Marketers peddling junk products with false promises to leave the market!

You do have to leave your email address to get the report, but it’s worth reading.

No, this is not an affiliate link, and there is no hard sell there (or one time offer, etc). Just a decent read. There is even the chance to win $25K by promoting his site, but this is not an attempt to enter the competition by me. Rather, this is just me sending out a link to you and urging you to read what he says. I think it makes a lot of sense.

Have a read, and let me know what you think of the report.

So, your working hard at achieving your goals, creating some momentum, and learning your trade. You’re probably holding down a full time job and trying to balance that while you get up to speed, right?

Don’t quit, it’s the worse thing you could do right now.

I got a great email from Stephen Pierce with a small, but really concise 9 page report on why you must not quit. It really struck a chord with me, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Now before you ask, no it’s not an affiliate link,and no, it’s not an opt-in, it’s nothing like that. Just a direct link to the PDF file so you can read it.

For anyone who’s thinking that things are getting a little hard, or are questioning where they are going, read this report, it could make all the difference (yes it’s that good).

Have you checked out Squidoo?

This is a relatively new website (recently coming out of beta) that is getting rave reviews from Internet Marketers (who are aware of the site, and many are not) . This site it getting a great reputation as a quick and painless way to drive web traffic, and after spending some time using it over the past week, I would tend to agree that it really is a force to be reckoned with.

What if I told you that my page on squidoo rose to the top position in Google for particular keyword phrase in two days flat (this from a brand new page that had never been indexed before). Impressed? I certainly was.

Let’s talk a little about what Squidoo is. It’s a way to get a web page up and running very quickly (no html/programming experience needed). Squidoo refer to a web page as a lens. Unlike other sites of this nature, they encourage Internet Marketers. The only pre-requisite is that the content on the lens should be unique, and not just be a re-hash of an existing web site.

This is a particularly important point for affiliate marketers, who might be tempted to include only a few words, then have a redirect, via an affiliate link to the product site hoping to make a few quick dollars. Doing this will likely get your lens deleted.

Squidoo has a large number of modules which you can add to your lens automatically, including links for Amazon, eBay, a GuestBook (to get links from other websites or lens), and many more. In additional Squidoo automatically adds Adsense to your website, and allows you to share in any profits made when people click a link on your lens. You also get to share in the revenue from the other modules. Alternatively (and this is what I have done) you can donate all your profits of this nature to a charity, all done automatically for you.

You can also “roll your own” content, and include your own html (although there are a few limitations). But it is possible to add functionality not available on squidoo using this method.

For an example, check out one of my sample lens I setup on ways to increase web traffic on squidoo. If you scroll down towards the bottom of the page, you will see an opt-in box where people can subscribe to my mailing list. The html for this page actually resides on my server, and is loaded automatically by squidoo any time you visit that lens.

Publishing the page on squidoo is very easy, most of the setup is point and click, and the interface is very clean and useable.

Because the web site is fairly new, a lot of marketers are not familiar with it, so this is a golden opportunity for you to sign up and setup a web page.

Check it out and let me know how you find it. If you would like me to post a follow-up article on some great ways to get you into the search engines quickly drop me a line.

Until next time….
