Google’s April Fools Day Job

By on Friday, April 1st, 2011 | No Comments

A short time ago I was doing some searching in Google when I noticed at the bottom right of the auto complete area the following,

I clicked through and started reading and was thinking I always thought computers did the autocomplete stuff. I then thought there must be some quality control aspect to it that a human was involved in…

I then read more and came across the text that gave this away as an April fools day joke.

“Good typing skills (at least 32,000 WPM)”

As it was after 12 midday here in Australia this caught me off guard, but then I realised it was just into April Fools Day in the USA.

See the images below which show the job listing.

Getting From Point A to Point B

By on Sunday, February 20th, 2011 | No Comments

The other day I was in a five hour discussion with some of the members from a mastermind I am part of.

One of the guys has been involved in many of the big internet marketing launches and mixes with the “in crowd”.

He was talking to another member about his secrets for success. The key was knowing where you are today and where you want to be in the future.

You look at Point B, the future destination and work your way backwards to plan out how you would reach that.

For example say you have a desire to live a lifestyle where you can spend a large part of your week playing with the kids. You want to have $15 000 per month income to allow this to happen.

You then say just before I achieved that I was running 10 authority websites that earn $1500 a month. You step back another level and say before I was earning $1500 a month per site I reached that by using Youtube etc to drive traffic and have products available at $97 a pop with upsells.

Work out how many sales per day you need and how you get the traffic etc. Keep working your way back until you are point A. From point A you then can see the steps required to reach point B. With that all clear in your mind you know what you need to reach the end goal.

Now I hope I conveyed the story from the mastermind with enough accuracy to give you the idea of what you need to be doing to make yourself successful online.

Some other tips he passed on was the usual information about focus. Don’t change from one bright shiny thing to the other each time you feel something is not working out.

Mobile Marketing Getting Bigger Than Internet Marketing

Earlier today I came across this article about Mobile Marketing and how it is getting bigger than Internet Marketing. Thought readers of my blog may find it interesting.

3 Reasons Why Mobile Marketing Is Overtaking Internet Marketing?

By Gaurab Borah

There has been a lot of buzz about mobile marketing recently. Mobile marketing is the brand new era of marketing that can put your foot on the path of financial freedom. It is very effective and come in handy while promoting your products. It is a more targeted way of connecting to limitless clients. If you wonder “Is mobile marketing better than internet marketing”. I am afraid to say YES. You are about to find out the exact reasons below:

1. Huge Market and Still Growing

According to the latest stats, there are over 5 billion mobile phone users as compared with just 1.8 billion internet users. More than 51 million mobile users are using smart phones. The yearly apps download to reach 20 billion by 2014. More and more people are buying smart phones every day. These numbers are huge, opportunities are immense and still growing with a high rate every moment.

2. Low Advertising Cost

Internet advertising could be quite expensive. If you do not know how to use Google AdWords properly you could lose millions there. A simple cost per click could be 5$ or more. Meaning unless you have deep pockets to run, test and verify your advertisements you can not sustain for long.

But with mobile web marketing a single cost per click will cost you between 1 cent to 17 cents. You can drive a lot more traffic to you products with the same amount of investment. More traffic means more sales and more money in your pockets.

3. Higher Conversion Rates

When people see you ad on their mobiles, it’s a one page ad only. This ensures that the user have their dedicated attention without any disturbance from splash banner ads or videos etc. You are the only call to action on that page. This works well for you higher conversion rates.

Also many times people tend to ignore advertising emails or skim through your ad without really bothering to click on it. Whereas mobile marketing will assure you that the person had at least read the message before actually deleting it. It could work in your favour.

Mobile marketing is still raw and the hottest new trend in marketing. The market is huge and competition is very low. Doesn’t it sounds like exactly what you need? Start and reap the maximum benefits from mobile web marketing when the time is still correct.

Gungahlin business directory

For the past month I have been working on setting up a business to help small businesses get more customers through internet marketing in Canberra.

Part of that involves a directory site for local businesses in Gungahlin. The site is Gungahlin Business Directory dot com dot au.

Tina has been working especially hard the past few days adding listings and photos. I have been working on a few of the feature videos that are published on the site.

As well as the Gungahlin Business Directory site I have created two other sites to provide information about the services I provide. One is Internet Marketing Canberra which as the name suggests is there to provide information and services to Canberra businesses wanting help with their Internet Marketing.

The other site is RPJK Services which provides internet services to anyone, anywhere. We so long as they are english speaking.

Mobile Monopoly Course Great Stuff

By on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010 | No Comments

Adam Horwitz is an 18-year-old that is making a killing in mobile marketing. He concentrates on building a list using mobile phones but then what does he do? He markets to them on the computer. What people have been doing wrong in the past is trying to make the sale on the phone.

He also uses other methods to earn cash using mobile phone marketing. The good news for you is that he has a course that shows exactly what he does. The course had a big pre-launch and I was expecting a price tag of at least $497. When the course came out I was pleasantly surprised at the $77 price tag.

Watch the video to get a quick overview of the course. There are upsells to consider, they are mentioned in my video.

I am very impressed with this course and give it a big thumbs up. Won’t write much more as I want to get into doing mobile marketing stuff as taught in the course.

You can get the course through my affiliate link here –> Get Mobile Monopoly Now. As an affiliate I do get a commission if you do purchase but I actually have this course and think it is great.

Or if you want to go straight to sales page go to mobilemonopoly.com

Youtube Film Your Day – Life in a Day

By on Friday, July 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

24 July, 2010 is Film Your Day, day on Youtube. It is a project run by Ridley Scott a big name director and Kevin Macdonald. What they want is everyone on the planet to film their day and submit it on Youtube.

Will be interesting to see just how many people get involved. Once people submit footage they will go through it all and select footage to combine into a feature length movie.

Kevin Macdonald asks us to answer these three questions.
What do you fear most?
What do you love?
What makes you laugh?
and he says to pull out whatever is in your pocket and film it.

Are you going to film your day?

The link above is geo-coded so US readers right now probably can’t see it, who knows.

What Am I Up Too?

By on Saturday, May 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

Over recent months I have been developing my interest in video. I have always enjoyed editing video but the truth is my videos sucked.

I decided I had enough of that and got into some courses to improve my skills. Now I think I can say that the videos I produce are a much higher standard. Still could be better but it takes time to become really proficient.

Now my focus is helping small businesses grow themselves through video marketing and mobile marketing. On the mobile marketing side I am learning from Dan Hollings. He is the man behind the marketing of “The Secret” movie. That was huge and all came from a low budget strategy.

I could not ask for a better teacher. Dan knows his stuff. I now just need to apply what I am learning. Now I just need some businesses looking to grow.

I am primarily interested in working with Canberra businesses but with the nature of the internet it allows me to help any business anywhere, well almost. English speaking and with an internet connection is probably more accurate.

What can I do for you? That is probably what you may be wondering. The answer is I can help you get ranked on page one for google for your business. Maybe you want to be the celebrity in your field, I can help what that as well.

On top of video promotion methods I can integrate mobile marketing strategies, or just go mobile.

I have recently created a website for my Gungahlin community. Gungahlin Business Directory is the site. You can find businesses in the Gungahlin area or list your own business if you are in Gungahlin.

Visit the site and checkout a sample video I created. It is on the homepage.

Main Street Marketing Machines versus Local Business Money Machine

By on Monday, April 26th, 2010 | No Comments

Main Street Marketing Machines is launching at 12pm PST on April 26th.

Lately you may have heard about Mike Koenigs Main Street Marketing Machines, if not visit his site with this link. This is a product aimed at turning someone who has some knowledge about internet marketing into an expert marketer. Armed with this knowledge they provide marketing services to small businesses.

This is much the same as an earlier product from Kevin Wilke of Nitro Marketing. His program was Local Business Money Machine. I actually purchased this product however it did not give me what I wanted. It was a comprehensive program however did not give me enough confidence to go out to businesses, especially here in Australia.

What was missing from the Local Business Money Machine course was the actual hands on items such as templates to use for customers to create sites and other promotional methods. Also finding clients was not something I had confidence in doing based on what was in the course.

I was also concerned that the Local Business Money Machine product was too US centric. I felt my needs as an Australian were not catered for.

Now looking at what I have seen so far of Mike Koenigs Main Street Marketing Machines product he addressed my main concern in the latest video, “Will it work for someone not in the US?” He said an absolute yes. In some situation it might be even easier to do well with the system when applied outside of the USA.

Also as part of the system are templates galore for setting up sites or creating videos to use in promotions. Biz box pre-made templates makes it so you can concentrate on Marketing you clients businesses rather than worrying about writing articles, setting up sites and other tasks normally required to get things done.

What I also like about Mike’s product is that it uses Mobile Marketing methods. This, if you don’t note its significant s is huge. Using mobile marketing you can offer your client the way to send out messages that say “quiet Tuesday discount available”. If done right this can potentially turn a lousy day into a great one for a small restaurant.

I have to say this product has got me excited. In the past internet products have focused on creating lists, creating your own products or tricking the search engines.

Mike’s product will help you market for real businesses. There are millions out there. Most are so busy just running the business that they don’t know about efficient marketing or even any marketing at all.

The Main Street Marketing Machines system has everything ready to go…

Check it out.

Mike says the system will cost $2,997.00 with a single payment or you can take a six payment option of $547.00. There is a 30 day money back guarantee.

If you think this is a lot of money just think that you could get that much for landing just your first client. Fireman Mike made $5000 but I can’t tell you how much you will make. It is possible that you get this system and make no money at all.
