Just got a new issue of Paul Hartunian's (the NJ man that sold the Brooklyn Bridge) newsletter, and its first phrase is:
"You're receiving this newsletter because you were smart enough to ask for a subscription."
That's posture! Much like Gary Halbert's site. not like some "Please please forgive us if you got this letter by mistake..." etc. we all used to see...

Would you ever like to talk to your computer? Just tell it what you need and your smart buddy would do it? Now you can try! ;)
There is a very nice program, Launch-n-Go. It sits in your toolbar:
- Still searching for a program in your crowded start menu?
- Is your desktop too crowded with tons of shortcuts?
- Lost in your bookmarks to open a website that you visit often?
Any notrivia.com/krblog" target="_blank">word document, any document at all, any PDF file sitting in your archives, any website, any folder can be opened this way, too. Look here for the details.
I use this program for some time now and I'm very pleased with it. Just one thing was missing: the possibility to give parameters to programs launched by Launch-n-Go. Today they announced they've added this feature, too.
Try it - it has a free trial for 30 days, and even when you need to pay - it's now only $12.95. You won't believe it! ;)

"Get Spidered by Google in Less Than A Week" - a course by Tinu Abayomi-Paul, a master I truly admire. If you order today, you'll also get her "marketing with RSS book" - for free.
"You could have a page rank so high that other site owners throw money at your feet, just to link to them.
You'll be able to call the Google spider on demand, over and over, and get your page ranked better for the keynotrivia.com/krblog" target="_blank">words you need.
It happened to me, and it could quickly happen to you, if you order now."
Impressive, huh? ;)
P.S. It's not an affiliate link. And Tinu didn't ask me to recommend this to you. And applying what you learn there, you may become more dangerous competitors to me. So, why am I recommending it here?...
I guess, I just care for you. ;)

I own my copy of Traffic Secrets, the famous course by John Reese.
After watching John's video tutorial on keynotrivia.com/krblog" target="_blank">word research and seeing how much importance he puts into it, I started to think how much time it will take - to gather the keywords from all these sources, and I (as a programmer) couldn't bear the thought of it. ;)
The matter is that when you copy the keywords from all these sources, you get also many unneeded symbols (if you want to copy many keywords at once) - numbers in Overture, '>>' in Altavista etc.
So, I wrote a tool that will clean the keywords, when you copy them from all the sources John was talking about, and also some of the other I knew before, and put it on a web page here:
Keyword Research Optimized
It's free for all to use, and it'll save you a lot of time. I initially wrote it for myself, but then thought it's too good not to share. :)
[Only one remark - the script works now only in Internet Explorer. I probably will make adjustments to it later, but now it's restricted to IE.]
I organized it as a blog, so the RSS feed with updates is available.
I told there what (great) software I use to make the keyword research quick and efficient, what new keyword research tools I found etc.
So - please use it. I know it will save you lots of your time.
And tell me what you think.

Let's see how perceptive you are. ;)
Here what their test says:
"If you see here 6 faces, you've got the average perception abilities;
If you see 7 faces, you are already different from many others;
If you see 8 faces, you are a VERY perceptive person;
And if you've found 9 of them, it means, you're amazingly perceptive, your intuition is highly developed and you're a very creative person. Your perception is comparable to one of Sherlock Holmes'!"
I guess, this is somehow the same as we look for the opportunities. ;) What it was that John Kehoe said?
"There are staggering opportunities out there. But in order to see them, you must open your eyes. not your regular eyes - your opportunity eyes."
I found 11. ;))

Accordingly to Gary Bencivenga, it's this simple question:
What are we really selling?
"For example:
You are not selling grass seed. You are selling a greener lawn.
You are not selling boilers and BTUs. You are selling warmer, cozier winter nights at a 27% fuel savings.
You are not selling baseball tickets. You are selling memories of sunny afternoons that a father and his children will cherish forever.
Back in 1781, Samuel Johnson understood this well. When he was appointed to auction off the Henry Thrale brewery, he announced, "We are not here to sell a parcel of boilers and vats, but the potentiality of growing rich beyond the dreams of avarice."
Perhaps lipstick king Charles Revson said it best: "In the factory we make cosmetics. In the store we sell hope."
You get the idea."
Beautiful, isn't it? It's from Gary Bencivenga's Bullets.

I'm playing now with gift certificates ideas for the newly launched RSS Submission Service.
Let's say the potential customer's name is Sergey. (Or Larry... ;))
I think to do it like this:
- when he orders a one-time service, he gets one gift certificate (with discount to my service), which he can give as a gift to his friend, collegue or a potential JV partner;
- this gift certificate must be deemed within two weeks (or shall I make it a month?). If it's deemed in time, a new certificate is given, also to two weeks, etc. If it's not deemed, the only way to get a new gift certificate is to order the service again (for another blog and feed);
- I'll also give the certificates on birthdays;
- and I'll also give discount to recurring customers.
What do you think? When Rok Hrastnik told me "You really are a genius,", he wasn't kidding, huh? ;)

Jason J.Cox, that has a course on JV deals, that was endorsed by Garry Halbert, now offers to drive his course for $0 for 60 days.
And if you don't cancel by then, only then you'll be billed $327.
I have Jason's course and I like it, and I think you could find there some beautiful ideas, too.

I think to make group gift certificates as well.
And it will work like this:
the discount will depend on the number of people in the group, so that every member in the group will be openly interested in attracting more people to their group.
How is that?

Someone recommended me to use ranking.com. And indeed, they have some interesting features.
It still, the same as Alexa, provides approximate data. But some people say, it gives also numbers to check it, and Alexa gives only the results. So, it's yours to check. ;)

It finally happened - Yahoo is out of its Beta version. Why would I say that it provides now an absolutely new way of marketing?
You'll see in a second.
How would you like to see all the latest news by the biggest marketing stars like John Reese, Perry Marshall, John Carlton, Gary Halbert, Jim Edwards, and many others - all on one page?
You could place this page on your desktop (not as a shortcut - but in the full size!).
You could access this page with your mobile phone or from anywhere in the web.
It would be a page fully customized to your own interests.
No spamming - ever, you could choose by yourself what marketers' news you want to include there, and if you don't like something - one click and it goes away.
Just turn on your computer and immediately see the latest tips/news on Adwords by Perry Marshall, or wise marketing tips by Jim Edwards, or copywriting tips by Brian Keith Voiles, or whatever you'd like to be updated on!
Do you see what it means? Every big marketer will fight for such real estate on your such page. It means the level of the content will go up, and the ratio between the content and the promotions will be chosen very carefully.
Now do you think it's all just a fairy tale? ;)
No, not at all. That's just what Yahoo did for us. Look at my My Yahoo! page.
Find out more about this new possibility.
Now the only thing to do is to make sure the big masters know about it. Let's spread the word. ;)
If they don't know how to start their RSS feeds, you may refer them to my this service:
RSS Submission Service - learn how to start your own RSS feed in the next 10 minutes for free.
We'll all win.

Jim Edwards was one of surprises for me at the Big Seminar. I'm now going to put much closer attention to what he does and sells.
And here is a wise and nice report Jim made about the 5 things Jim learned from the Big Seminar.
As Jim says,
"So if you'd like to know:
** What John Reese taught me that has nOTHIING to do with
traffic -- but has everything to do with the secret of YOUR
success...
** How Marlon Sanders' computer problem turned into a
thrill of a lifetime for me...
** The drastic change I need to make in my own affiliate
program if I hope to survive...
... and lots more!
Head on over to this page rght now and get your fr'ee copy
of my latest special report
=> http://www.ebookfire.com/bigseminar-report.html"
Please read it, it may open your eyes... and let you know what Jim's up to.
Yes, really. ;)

Sometimes we find real gems by the way of surfing for something else.
One of such unexpected diamonds awaited here:
Tourism Brochures To Boost Business.
Some no-pitching, but absolutely for sure having a lot of knowledge, marketers share their recommendations on how to create tourism brochures that will work.
You'll find there general strategies, key points you should think about before, copywriting gems etc. etc.
Try to apply it as if it were a strategy to start your own product, and I'm sure you'll find it as much an eye-opener as I do.

Just got this absolutely fabulous teleseminar recording, by Jim Edwards and Stephen Pierce, "How To Make 2005 Your notrivia.com/soulblog" target="_blank">bEST Year EVER!". Listen to it, it's free, yet it contains such a valuable information. You know, John-Reese-kind of a teleseminar, with very little to no fluff, and the real hard-earned knowledge.
You'll know:
- the real reason behind the procrastination and how to get through it (I couldn't agree with Jim more on it!),
- how to find 10 hours a week more, no matter how busy you are - and these hours will be the hours when you'll get the most done,
- how to rise above competition in any market: what to think of when you're thinking to join the market, avoid the mistake many people make,
- why traditional "Goal Setting" does NOT work,
- and much much more.
My remarks:
- I'd recommend "Happy Pocket Full of money" by David Cameron, I got it as a part of Wealth Beyond Reason program,
- to get more activity hours, look at Powerful Sleep Course,
- when you are all excited about the new project, first sit and see to it that you're sure you can do it (think of your past successes etc.). And then not to go and do something stupid ;) but to make a plan of things that need to be done: first just the big things and then write them more in details,
- when you come to that golden hour of the things mechanically done, always have a plan for such an hour before you even start doing anything,
- sometimes the best creativity hour is in the middle of the night - perhaps because our concious mind is half-asleep and the subconcious mind, having all the keys to all the Universe, is easier to reach.
It works this way: you're getting up at 4-4:30 AM, sit on some couch and visualize, what you feel when your goal is reached. "Live" yourself into that situation. And then start to look around (in that goal-reached environment): what's happening and what brought you to it. Have a pen and a paper with you, and write down what you think of. Some of the best ideas may come to you this way. Write them all down. And then, when you feel your head is empty, go to your bed, and continue to sleep.
I know, this technique sounds a little crazy, but we've done crazier things, haven't we? ;)
"Happy Pocket" I'm reading for a while now, and for me it's the best book on how to get what you want I've ever seen, and with "Powerful Sleep" - I'll study it soon and then I'll tell you all about my own experience with it. But I've seen some appraisals to this course, convincing enough, at Mind Power News.

Dear friends,
Before 2004 becomes a distant memory, I'd like to wish you every luck and happiness in the world. And here is something I'd like you to think about (it came one day with tut.com's notes from the Universe):
"What if loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you've yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved, so that life's serendipities could bring you together... Would you still feel alone?
What if illness was just the signal a healthy body sent to urge clarification of your thoughts, feelings and dreams... Would you still, at times, think of yours as diseased?
What if feelings of uncertain and confusion were only reminders that you have options, that there's no hurry, and that everything is as it should be... Would you still then feel disadvantaged?
What if mistakes and failures only ever happened when your life was about to get even better than it's ever been before... Would you still call them mistakes and failures?
And what if poverty and lack were simply demonstrations of your manifesting prowess, as "difficult" to acquire as wealth and abundance... Would they still cause you to feel powerless?"
I wish you all the wealth you've ever dreamed of, an absolutely unreasonable success and to be free and happy.
Happy New Year!

Search engines and directories (and the visitors as well) want you to update your blog often enough. And you'd like to, but the time... and the mood...
And together with this, you have your websites with valuable content that you'd love to blog about. But then again, the time and the mood... ;)
If you're worried you might not be posting regularly and often enough, you may soon have a solution to this: we're working on a software tool that will make it possible for you to make a lot of posts once, and then they will be published on schedule later, pinging Ping-O-Matic, MyYahoo etc. The posts may also be taken from your current site pages or other sources. It can then work well together with Jay Jennings' Sonic Page Blaster, for example. It will be announced here, in my marketing blog, soon.
And for now, you'll see here some test messages - please bear with me, it's just me testing my script. You'll be the first to hear about it.

I learned about the one hypnotic command that always works from hypnotists. A good hypnotist will never give a subject a choice or offer a list of "reasons why you should fall asleep right now."
Instead, a good hypnotist will simply issue a command, "When I count to three, you will close your eyes," or, "When I snap my fingers, you will bark like a dog." The subject responds because they want to please the hypnotist and because they don't have much of a choice.
Your prospects are nearly the same. Give them too many "reasons why you should buy" and you risk boring them, overwhelming them, or irking them. Give them the "one hypnotic command that always works" and they will do your bidding.

Tip: when submitting your site to search engines, look at their submission policies. Yahoo and Google now prefer that you submit only your main page and let their spiders find the rest of your web site.
To help those engines to easily find every page of your site, create a site map and put a link to it on your main page.
