Book Review: What Would Google Do

I’m always reading something to keep up with this crazy fast paced industry and the latest book I’ve been devouring is “What Would Google Do” by Jeff Jarvis.

This is a fascinating read that while it talks about Google and the way Google as a company operates…their business practices and philosophies…why they work so well… the book really isn’t about Google. It’s about using Google’s successful business model and applying it in to own business as we move into the Web 2.0 ‘Google’ world….

It’s about being open and transparent. And as the book itself states- in the end it’s about You.

The rules have changed. Consider this your rule book to doing business now and into the future.

I challenge you to read this and NOT find something useful that you can apply to your own business or see new and exciting opportunities. You can pick up a copy at Amazon.com or major bookstores. I highly recommend it.

If you have read it, I would love to hear your feedback- what was your favorite chapter or specific quote from the book?

Review: Michael Rasmussen’s “Get More Buyers” Video Course

Review of Michael Rasmussen’s “Get More Buyers” Video Course:
Stuff Your List Full Of Buyers And Start Seeing Five and Six Figures

Ever wondered how online marketers can send an email and see $2,500 or $5,000 or even $25,000 or more flow right into their bank account?

It probably seems like magic…or a scam. But let me tell you, it’s neither one. In fact, it’s pretty easy once you have the business tool these big-profit marketers have. And Michael Rasmussen’s new “Get More Buyers” video course shows you how to get it.

It just launched today – I’ve been one of Michaels affiliates and subscribers for a couple years now and already knew the quality of information he puts out so naturally I hit the order page as soon as it launched.

If you’re in a hurry, just go ahead visit this URL to
get the full details about this video course:

The secret weapon these marketers have is a mailing list absolutely stuffed with buyers. What’s great
about Michael’s course is that he hands you 10 practical strategies for attracting eager buyers.
Actually, he’s showing you the way he built his own list, which is pretty much legendary as a JV profit
powerhouse.

I’ve purchased and reviewed the course myself, and I can say a few things with confidence…

First, the quality of the course is excellent. This was obviously professionally done. The audio is near
studio quality, and the presentation he walks through makes the concepts completely clear. Michael’s
previous products were clearly made by somebody who KNOWS how to make a great product, and this one continues the tradition.

He starts with a brief introduction to the common list-building mistakes people make when they’re just
starting out online. This certainly explained some of my own struggles—it’s not just “fluff” material.

For example, he tells you how to create your own profit-pulling marketing “funnel”, even if you’re
starting from scratch. He also tells you the root cause of the two major challenges most people
face…but then he goes one better. He tells you specifically how to crush those challenges.

He walks through 10 strategies for stuffing your list full of buyers. This is amazing material. Here’s just
a sample of what he covers:

* The “magic” price that can get you buyers almost immediately if you’re selling your own product

* How to increase the profit you make on each sale by 50% of more, almost immediately, and with hardly any effort (it’s all about buyer psychology)

* How to “steal” buyers from other marketers, and actually have them thank you for it!

List-building books and courses are a dime a dozen, but Michael’s course is one of the best I’ve ever
seen. There’s no tired old advice that doesn’t work today. He’s giving you real strategies that he uses
himself, and that helped him create a list that routinely brings in five and six figures when he sends
an email.

If you want results like that for yourself (and who DOESN’T, right?) then you check out Michael’s “Get
More Buyers” course. Your business profits will be very happy you did!

Here’s the URL where you can check out the course for yourself:

Review on Revolution Wordpress Theme

As I was planning the new look for my blog, I had decided I really liked the look and features of the magazine style blog layouts. So I did some research on what was available.

I played around with a free theme Zin Mag for a day or 2 and while it had the magazine look and feel I was looking for it still didnt have the features I was looking for.

I then started looking at 2 premium (paid) themes, One Theme and Revolution.

Ultimately I went with Brian Garners Revolution. I went ahead and purchased the theme even though Brian had just announced that as of November 1st, Revolution will be Open Source.

I must say that so far I am loving the themes features and flexibility.

Revolution themes are great for those of us that what to use our wordpress blog as a CMS (content management system) and not have the typical look of a blog.

I did feel some customization was needed (and will be doing ongoing customization) and for the average to advanced wordpress user, this is not an issue. But for those new to wordpress, this may be a daunting task. My suggestion to you would be, wait until after Novemnber when Revolution will be available open source (free) under the GPL license. This way you can work with the theme ‘out of the box’ , maybe experiment with a couple different styles of the theme- then customize as you feel ready to take on the task.

I’m excited to see what is coming with Revolution going open source and the new themes to be released.

Video Review: KIOSK – My Top pick for web hosting

My clients ask me all the time about web hosting. I always send them over to KIOSK. They’ve been hosting my sites for the past 6 years.

Your domain name and your hosting package are probably the least expensive cost to getting your business on line. But hosting with the wrong company can put your business in peril. Kiosk understands the internet marketing industry and our business model. I’ve even caught up with the founders, Joel and his wife IIona Therien, at several marketing events.

Not only will you get reliable and stable web hosting, you’ll also get some cool marketing tools and outstanding training and support.

Let Joel explain what makes Kiosk different by watching the video below:
