This last month or so I have been enjoying a course run by Ben Schaffer called the Auto Cash Method. In a nutshell, Ben is teaching us how to create quick and easy websites that will bring in a steady stream of income per month. The amount of income isn’t going to be huge but these are sites that can be set up in a matter of hours, so any day you have some spare time, you can throw one of these sites up and rake in a bit of extra income that month and for every month after that. The way he is showing us this method is by doing a live case study so we can see his results as we go. He covers the whole process from start to finish including how to find a profitable niche, how to set up the site, how to monetize the site and how to get traffic to the site. All the students are copying Ben’s method as we go and I am really excited about seeing what kind of results we all get. A lot of what he has been teaching isn’t ground breaking but there are some clever and important twists and tweaks that he employs that really make a difference.
Obviously I can’t divulge his methods here, Ben is hoping to open the course up again once we have been through it, but I will divulge my results at the end of the course and let you know when his next opening is, should I find that I have been successful.

Well, it’s not really sneaky just quite clever so I thought I’d share it with my readers.
Most people realise the importance of list building these days and you’ll often hear many different marketers obsessing over the size and quality of their lists, and how to build a good relationship with it. These are indeed important factors. However, the problem is none of that is going to do you any good if your subscriber hasn’t even opened your email to read it.
You can in fact expect only 20-30% of your subscribers to actually open any email that you send them. Don’t panic though, as this isn’t necessarily something that you are doing wrong. Some will just be too busy that day to read your email, or will maybe file it away ‘to be read later’ which of course we know that time rarely comes, or your email could just get lost in the flood of emails we all seem to receive these days.
So, is there anything that can be done about this? Well, for some people this may not be possible as some autoresponders don’t support this feature, but if you can filter your list and send to only those who did not open your email then why not send it again with a different subject? Jeff Walker tried this in a recent promotion and said that he doubled the amount of sales by sending 3 emails in this way instead of just the one. What a difference!
Neither myself or Jeff can take credit for this idea though. It is just one of the tactics that Ryan and Perry will show you in their sneaky email tricks report. I strongly recommend that you take a look at this.

Earlier this month I was fortunate to get invited for an inside look at Chris Freville’s latest product, Dominating Niches. As we are approaching the pre-launch in a couple of days I thought I’d tell you my thoughts on it.
Chris has been making money online for 4 or 5 years now, and in Dominating Niches he reveals exactly how he has been doing it. With the very reasonable $97 ($77 at launch) price tag, you’ll get the exact formula for locating the most profitable niches, how to infiltrate the niche and totally dominate it in only 30 days.
Anyway, I have written a more detailed review (DominatingNiches Review) where you can read more about the product and also see the bonuses I am offering to you if you join up with my link.

For those of you who didn’t already know, I was a part of Alex Jeffreys coaching course that he started at the end of last year. I had spent the previous two years going round in circles trying to make money online, and failing every time. Joining the Alex Jeffreys coaching program was the pivotal point in realising my goals and I am now a full time internet marketer.
The good news is that Alex is about to launch his second coaching program and have no doubt, as Alex himself is still learning all the time, this will be much better than the first one.
The price tag on these coaching program always used to seem a little high for me but I can tell you now it was worth every penny and more. You NEED a mentor to succeed in this competitive business and I was lucky enough to find one who really cared about the success of all his 500 students and went above and beyond in the material that he delivered.
If I’d taken the plunge and forked out a little more cash on finding a mentor earlier in my marketing career, there’s no doubt I would have saved myself tons of money in the long run, and would have been making more money by now. So regardless of whether you decide that Alex Jeffreys coaching is the program for you I would urge you to find someone as a mentor. Alex is an enthusiastic and likeable character who I couldn’t imagine anyone not getting along with, and he will personally see to it that you succeed in this business.
The new Alex Jeffreys coaching program will again have a capped membership and the last one sold out in less than a week, as Alex has now raised his profile since this year I imagine this will sell out much quicker. If you would like advance warning and instant notification of when the course goes live then enter your name and email below.
I will not use this email for anything else other than to notify you about the coaching program launch.

We’ve all heard people telling us that we’ll never make money online, it’s all a waste of time, it’ll never work and many other negative things about internet marketing.
But it does work. Some people become rich and others make nothing at all, even lose money. So what’s the difference between these people? The people who succeed know the lies in this business and do not believe them.
Here are 5 big internet business lies:
Lie #1: Starting and running a internet business is expensive.
You can actually start an internet business with very little cost. There are many high quality affiliate programs where all you have to do is concentrate on marketing. The follow up, product delivery and support are all done by the owner of the affiliate program.
Lie #2: You can make easy money on the internet.
People still have a tendancy to believe that they can make money on the internet overnight by doing hardly anything. We are constantly being bombarded with systems that have made people millions in just a few days. Which may well be true for that particular launch, but it takes months even years of work to get yourself in a position to use a system that will make you millions.
Lie #3: You must know HTML, web programming and graphic design to start your business.
You don’t need to know all of these at all. Or even any of them. There are marketing guru’s out there that don’t even have the first clue how to put up a website. The trick is in finding the right people to work with. You can outsource jobs that you can’t do yourself, or joint venture with other marketers to combine your skill sets.
Lie #4: You don’t need to know how to sell on the internet.
Many people hate selling, and these people get attracted to ads that claim ‘no selling necessary’ or even ‘this product sells itself’. Usually these products are unfeasible and run by fly-by-night marketers. Do you really think it’s possible to have a successful business by doing nothing at all? The trick is not to try to sell to people, but to educate and inform them. Show them the benefits to their life if they owned your product.
Lie #5: You don’t need to build a mailing list.
I know you’ve all heard the ‘money is in the list’ mantra. There’s a reason you’ve heard it so often though, because it’s true! But more importantly, the money is in the relationship with your list. Deliver value over and above their expectations and you’ll be well on your way to success.
The above 5 are just a few of the internet business lies out there. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
