Everything I Know About Web 2.0 Might Be Wrong:(

Posted on August 29, 2007
Filed Under Posts | Leave a Comment

Erik Stafford here… and I am not a happy camper right now. I may owe you a big apology!

Let me explain.

One of the people that I met in Philadelphia at JVAlert was a guy named Alan Bechtold. Alan is one of the older guys who has been around for years quietly making loads of money on the Internet.

Needless to say he is way smart. He gave me a ton of great advice on my business and made a huge impact on me.

So anyways: fast forward to today. I just found out from Jeff Wark and Lori Steffen that Alan said (in public, at an event) that “Web 2.0 is CRAP!”

Sorry. Those were his words, not mine…

But now what do I do? I really respect Alan’s opinion… but here I am: I have been posting Web 2.0 information for months! I have been using it in my own business!

Either Jeff and Lori misheard, or I owe you guys a big apology.

Alan is holding a special teleseminar tomorrow night, and he will be addressing this seemingly outrageous statement.

The event is tomorrow night, August 30, at 7:30 p.m. EST. Space is limited and I don’t want you to miss this. You can signup here:

Will you be there? I know I sure will. And I hope I haven’t been leading you guys astray:(

The Secret to Hidden Profits…

Posted on August 23, 2007
Filed Under Posts | Leave a Comment

Erik Stafford here.

Yesterday I posted about something that turned out to be one of the major components of my business… and it happened by accident.

This one technique “accidentally” nets me anywhere from $3-$4k each and every month. Did you take a guess what it was? Many of you sent in your guess by email, or posted it on my blog…

I stumbled on it by accident, and it turns out that it’s one of the same techniques used by the “gurus” to explode their profits…

Here is a clue: Did you ever wonder how people manage to get wealthy selling $7 and $27 dollar products? Or even giving them away for free?

Well, here is how they are doing it:

They are making their money from “Hidden Sales” (Back-end processes like up-sells, cross-sells, one time offers, etc. etc) and not from the first initial product that people see being offered.

Want to apply these same concepts to your business?

My First Podcast!

Erik Stafford here. I posted a couple days ago about “Podcasting Unleashed” by Scott Paton. Scott was one of the speakers at my very first “Internet Marketing Seminar”, and he blew me away.

I came home from JV Alert in Philadelphia determined to start my very own podcast.

I knew nothing about audio editing, or iTunes, or podcasts… but I was determined to do it.

So I did it. And guess what? It was totally easy!

Here is the proof: I am proud to introduce you to my first podcast… Drum roll please! Introducing “The Mike and Erik Show” podcast:

I really can’t speak highly enough about Scott’s program. Get it today, and start your own podcast tomorrow!

2007’s Biggest Internet Marketing Secret

Posted on August 14, 2007
Filed Under Posts | 1 Comment

Erik Stafford here. People always ask me what the biggest stumbling block is when it comes to online success. My answer is always the same:

Distraction.

Here is a great example: A few months ago I went to JV Alert in Philadelphia. It was my first Internet Marketing Seminar.

Before I went I asked a very successful friend what advice he had for me.

He said “Erik, watch all the speakers, and meet as many people as possible, and take furious notes… but after the event is over put everything in a drawer for later except for the three most valuable ideas or technologies. Focus on those items only, so you don’t get overwhelmed.”

Great advice! So that’s just what I did. I took the best three ideas, and made them my own.

One of these ideas was Google and YouTube Videos to drive traffic to my products, and you can see by the blog entries below that I took that to heart.

Here is the second big idea I came away from Philadelphia with, and it’s already affected my business in a big, big way:

And the best thing about it? I know from my contacts and research that no one really knows how to do this - yet. But look out! It’s coming:

Step By Step Website Videos #3: DNS

Posted on August 12, 2007

Okay… step three in getting your first website up and running is to update your DNS. This is easy stuff, really. It’s like the internet’s version of a change of address form.

You need to let the world (including the place where you registered your Domain Name, in Step #1) know where your website is going to be living. It’s going to be living at the Hosting Account that you set up in Step #2!

Here is the third training video:
