On a whim, I decided to add an additional name to my business license – Little Marketer! Essentially, that is precisely what I am. Despite having been in the industry off and on for over a year now, I still feel like I’ve got so much more to learn. Granted, I was severely screwed in the beginning by scams and bad decisions. But still – I’ve invested in courses, tools,… Read More »I Think I Can!
As one of my Google colleagues says when he discovers something amazing, “This one blew my wig off!“ I’m serious. I’ve never seen anything like this, and I’m sure you will agree… Here’s the plan: 1) Pick an affiliate program – it can be a clothing store, a tool store, a toy store, a candy store, a gardening store, a costume store, a variety – you name it, whatever you… Read More »Passive Profit Streams
Over the past several months, Scott and I went over a lot of information. As I had presumed before my first session, I’m going to need to take all these resources and learn them again at my own pace. The class went by a little too fast for me, and I felt like we were always behind in terms of where I should be. However, at the end, it seemed… Read More »Mentoring Program – Final Thoughts
My last session with Scott ended this morning. It was actually a pretty short call and ended with about 30 minutes left. I guess he doesn’t have much else to teach me anymore! J/K… On our last call, we talked about email marketing. Of course, I would need to build my subscriber base first. Once my list is large enough where I can broadcast emails to them, there are a… Read More »Call #12: Email Marketing
We’re finally moving on from salescopy! However, this is not to say that it is over. As we talked about in an earlier post, the salescopy is a project that will never be finished – it’ll be ongoing as we test results from different headlines and bonuses, etc. So how do you track results? From web statistics! There are free as well as paid services out there that will generate… Read More »Call #11: Stats
Well, it’s official. Earlier this afternoon, during my lunch break, I marched myself down to San Jose Post Records and the City of Santa Clara and completed registration of my Business License. Yes, that’s right. Effective immediately, I’m in business! After several months of intense research and studies, I’m finally ready to go public. I know, I know.

To date, I have purchased several products from Midas Touch Marketing, which is the company that Ewen has formed with… Read More »Midas Touch Marketing Fan
Wow, we covered a LOT of good information on generating traffic today! The first method we talked about were regarding search engines. While we discussed strategies to get traction naturally, we also talked about submitting our sites to the search engines. However, this is not recommended until at least 6 months after your site is live, and you are not getting indexed by the spiders at all. Another method we… Read More »Call #10: Traffic Generation
Yes, I decided. I tried on multiple occasions to get in touch with my Emerald Passport director, Tony Lampert, but he just isn’t very responsive. He’s supposed to be my mentor, but he doesn’t even respond to my emails! Back in late January, we had set up a time to chat. I even gave him my phone number. He never called, and I haven’t heard from him since, with the… Read More »Giving Up on EPI – Bad Upline
Even though AdWordsOptimization.com is live, I’m still making changes to it on an almost daily basis. In terms of content and formatting, there’s always something that needs to be improved. But on today’s call, Scott talked a little more in regards to creating an autoresponder form to capture my visitors’ email addresses. I need to subscribe to an autoresponder service or install some type of form script in order to… Read More »Call #9: Website Final Touches

So Scott had more to say in regards to the various content and wording of my promotions, as well as where and… Read More »Call #8: More Salescopy
