Hi there,
Michael here. I hope you're well.
I'd hoped to be sending you this new issue before now, but I haven't been as conscientious lately as I should have been ;0)
I've sort of still been in holiday mode, but our younger two kids are now back at school after their six week break so I haven't got any more excuses.
That's what I wrote Monday BEFORE LAST and here it is Monday Feb 13th and I'm only just finishing it off! Pretty slack, eh? It's been a bit of a topsy-turvy couple of weeks around here ... well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. (A little joke.)
Anyway, a lot has happened during that time, so I'd better not take up any more of your time with my ramblings ;0)
As you'll see, there are a couple of new free resources that have just been launched, I encourage you to check them out as soon as possible.
There's a new article on generating traffic, a couple of free downloads and an inspirational free video for you to view. I've also thrown in a few jokes, 'coz we all need a laugh every now and then.
Here's what you have in store for you today:
2. Identity Theft - Are you safe? 3. The Lighter Side of Life #1 4. Free Download #1: EzyLinkExpire "Web Traffic Techniques You Can Use Right Now for 2006!" 6.

2. Identity Theft - Are you safe?
Here's something we should all keep ourselves informed about.
Identity Theft affects thousands of people every day. Here are a couple of sites that teach you how to avoid becoming a victim.
The first one is "friendly", easy to navigate and has a number of free videos to show you what to look for as well as links to other resources:
The second has a more "corporate" or "institutional" feel, but does include quite a bit of useful info:

3. The Lighter Side of Life #1
Gas prices are so high that when this college girl pulled into a gas station and asked for 2 dollar’s worth, the attendant dabbed some behind her ears.
---------------------------
4. Free Download #1: EzyLinkExpire
One sure-fire method of increasing response to special offers is by setting a limit on it's availability - either a time limit or a limit on the number of copies sold - it creates a sense of urgency and exclusivity.
But setting them up and keeping track of them manually can be difficult.
EzyLinkExpire is a tool that will allow you to quickly and easily create that expire either at a set time or after a set number of sales. And it comes with resale rights. Download it for free here:

5. Guest Article: "Web Traffic Techniques You Can Use Right Now for 2006!" By Jason Mangrum, Author of The Instant Traffic Formula 2006
As you probably know, getting web traffic to your site is one of the three most crucial components to making any money online.
In Mark Joyner's Internet Intelligence Manuscript (Volume II) he clearly explains how any web traffic (not just "targeted traffic") can be made profitable, by mentally framing, or conditioning your visitors to become receptible to your offer...
One of the easiest ways to mentally re-frame your visitors upon entry to your site, is to walk them through a three-step process that:
A) Grabs their immediate attention with a promise of benefit B) Pre-Qualifies them before they get to your sales letter C) Follows up with them over time with new content and reminders of your offer.
Keep in mind, web traffic is just one component of the three required to sustain sales.
The other two are:
1. Testing new advertising campaigns and ad copy 2. Tracking and keeping records of your results from each campaign
Here's an example case study of the three-step process...
On December 16th 2005, my book "The Instant Traffic Formula 2006" was released to teach internet entrepreneurs how to create, attract and monetize responsive web traffic to any web site or affiliate program. As of today, my web site (which uses the exact techniques taught in the book) is averaging a 64.86% visitor-to-lead conversion, and an average sales conversion ranging from 4.69% up to 11.36%, which is currently netting me just over $1.48 per unique visitor to my site.
Again, these statistics do not take follow-ups into account. These are "straight-out-of-the-gate" type sales that occur within minutes of my visitors signing up to read my sales letter. And you can do this too.
I follow a simple formula to create web traffic, qualified leads, responsive subscribers, loyal customers and even active affiliates who promote anything and everything I sell online.
You can sum up the entire formula into the three major components I mentioned above, and create a fail-proof success system for your products, services and affiliate programs. After you've activated the formula, the best way to keep the momentum of traffic, leads and sales coming in on a consistent and even predictable basis, is in three words...
What those three words are, and how to use them by combining eight other powerful elements is carefully documented inside my book. But here's the process I used personally on my site:
1. My visitor is directed through a tracking link (or affiliate link) to a lead capture page called a "Name Squeeze" where prospects give their contact information in order to get details of my report.
2. Upon submitting their contact information, they are immediately directed to my sales page for the details, and offer for the Instant Traffic Formula Scientific Marketing Report.
3. My follow-up autoresponder system immediately sends them an email reminding them of my offer, giving a few testimonials of the report and sends them a link to check it out at another time.
A few days later, they receive reminders of my offer, more quality feedback of my report, new articles and content about getting web traffic, and again - links back to my sales letter.
The lead capture page serves to "pre-qualify" visitors who actually want to read my sales letter to find out more about my offer. I've heard a lot of people claim many visitors (and sales) can be lost by forcing your prospects to "do something" before they get to your offer -- but my direct experimentation and results show the majority (64.86%) of visitors who hit my site, sign up.
Once my visitors sign up, they become leads and are set into my autoresponder system to receive consistent follow-ups until they buy, or unsubscribe.
Thankfully, the autoresponder service I use (Aweber allows me to easily direct my new subscribers to a custom "Thank You" page.
Most web marketers still use the "default" thank you page and their subscribers are returned to a "thanks for subscribing - now close the window" type message. Useless.
My thank you page re-directs to a tested sales letter that continues the mental conditioning process by giving in-direct answers to questions that were created in the mind of my prospects upon reading, and signing up from my Name Squeeze.
Now that my three elements are together, I combine them with "CII" or the three most powerful words in all of marketing, and achieve phenomenal and consistent results over time.
Using just this part of the formula alone, can cause a massive shift in your bottom line. However, when the complete formula is both discovered and activated, you'll have a direct funnel to bring money "out of thin air" to you whenever you like, and for whatever you want.
Do this. Think of something you'd like to have.
Anything. It can be anything. Don't limit yourself.
A new car, a new house, a nice expensive necklace for a loved one -- anything.
Now put a price on it.
That's your goal. Your intention.
Write it down.
Next, get out a calculator and punch in the price of what you want.
Divide that number by the price for whatever item you want to sell.
Round up to the nearest whole number, and you've got a definite number.
This number equals the amount of sales you'll need to get your wish.
Now use the formula described in this article, and funnel the correct amount of sales into your business, by getting the traffic, pre-qualifying them, and going for the sale using CII to guide you along every step of the way -- until you reach your desired number of sales.
Once the sales you've accumulated equal your desired amount, you get your wish.
Try it for yourself and see the power in this technique to create anything you want.
Above all, stay focused... keep the momentum... and enjoy your prosperity in the new year!

His newly-released Instant Traffic Formula 2006 divulges a complete, scientific marketing formula that brings web traffic, leads, subscribers and sales to any product, service or affiliate program.

6. Do you want to make more money from Google Adsense?
A lot of people are making good money from Google Adsense and there's no reason why more of us can't join that crowd - except for lack of knowledge about how to go about it and what works best.
Well, Joel Comm is a highly respected expert on Adsense and I've just come across a recording of a teleseminar he did recently that you can listen to for free.
You'll find it here:
The Adsense Code Teleseminar Recording
You'll get an idea of what's possible with Google Adsense and lots of useful tips to increase your clickthroughs and revenue.
There's also a bit of info about his upcoming new teleseminar series. It's not cheap, but looks to be awesome - pity there isn't an affiliate program for it ;0)
Anyway, he also wrote the ebook: "What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense!", which has helped a lot of people to get more from Adsense. You can find out about it and order your copy here:
"What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense!"
---------------------------
7. Free Download #2: Beginners Guide to Adsense.
If you can't afford either of Joel's offerings, here's a small gift for you.
Obviously no where near as detailed as Joel's book, this guide will give you a starting point. Download your free copy here:

8. Lighter Side of Life #2 (An oldie but a goodie - like me:0))
A man takes his hamster to the vet, and after a short look at the creature the vet pronounces it dead.
Not happy with the vet's diagnosis the man asks for a second opinion. The vet gives a whistle and in strolls a Labrador dog.
The dog nudges the hamster around with its nose and sniffs it a couple of times before shaking his head.
"There" says the vet, "Your hamster is dead".
Still not happy the man asks for a third opinion. The vet opens the back door and in bounds a cat. The cat jumps onto the table and looks the hamster up and down for a few minutes before looking up and shaking it's head.
"It's definitely dead sir", says the vet.
Convinced, the man enquires how much he owes.
"That will be $1000, please".
"A $1000 just to tell me my hamster is dead?" fumes the man.
"Well", says the vet, "There's my diagnosis, the lab report and the cat scan".

9. Free Video Presentation: "How to Get Everything You Want In Business And Life in 2006" by Jimmy Brown
This quick inspirational video
The video is presented by Jimmy's membership site, "List and Traffic", where you'll learn how this very successful and respected netpreneur builds huge lists and drives hordes of traffic to his web sites without spending a penny on ads. You can find out more about it here:
(I should point out that it is a membership site with a recurring monthly charge of $10 - but it's still great value for money.)
---------------------------
10. Free Resource: Caterpillar Marketing
Unless you've been hiding away recently, you've probably heard at least a bit about "Butterfly Marketing". (No, I'm not selling it, so relax.)
I haven't actually had access to it, but I have no doubt that it's a great product, but beyond most people's budget. But here's a great example of someone who's using it for the "Internet Marketing" niche. You can see how this viral system works , and get some free products at the same time.
One of the cut and paste referral ads says:
"If there's one thing that I wish I'd done when I first got started in Internet Marketing, it would be getting my hands on great products with resale and master resale rights. I just found out where you can get a ton of these products for FREE. And, they're PROVEN to sell like crazy. Click the link below to see how you can get a Free membership." (That's the end of the ad.)

11. The Lighter Side of Life #3 (With respect to all mothers-in-law.)
Harry and Esther are out shopping one morning when Esther says;
"Darling, it's my mother's birthday tomorrow. What shall we buy for her? She said she would like something electric."
Harry replies, "How about a chair?"

12. Free Marketing Tool: Unique Content Generator
Ken Reno's been a busy boy lately. He's just released a new free online tool that'll be really handy for anyone who uses Private Label Articles (which are pretty popular at the moment).
You see, to make sure your article pages get past the duplicate content filters and actually get into the search engines is to ensure that your articles are a bit different.
That's not possible with normal reprint-rights articles, but private label rights allow you to rewrite any part of the article as well as putting your name on as the author. But to manually change lots of articles can be a tedious and time consuming ... until now.
Enter Ken's site; Unique Article Generator.
As a free member you can log in, copy and paste any article into the tool, click a button and, voila, you have a unique article! Well, at least it's a bit different from the original and the modified article still makes perfect sense to the reader.
There is also a Pro option that allows you to modify multiple articles at a time, whether it's 10 or 1000! That's a REAL time saver.
You can find out more and join here:

13. A ton of new articles at e-BizResources.com!
Getting back to the subject of traffic, I've just added a stack of Traffic Building articles (about 400 pages!). You can check them out at:
They won't replace Jason's Instant Traffic Formula 2006 or Jimmy Brown's List and Traffic membership site, but you'll find lots of info and ideas to get you started.
I'll be adding similar dedicated article collections for other business related topics in the near future.
And, because I'm a diabetic, I've also added about 100 pages of articles related to diabetes. If this affects you, you can check them out here:
If you think your web site visitors would find either collection helpful, why not put a link to them on your web site? They'll probably be grateful to you.
