These guys just released an absolute “must see” case study. Check out the free case study here: http://www.jjlikes.com/ajmb2v1   Here’s what I’m talking about: I made a small fortune with these guys earlier this year. They are masters at getting tons of highly-profitable traffic. I was so impressed with their system that I asked them [...]

During the classes year 2003 to ’04, a case study ended up being conducted in a secondary school to determine (a) exactly what problem existed on the use of school computers and (m) solutions to the problem.

The analysis had three objectives:

1 . Provide a safer and even more effective environment for internet surfers in the school atmosphere;

* Fulfil the school’s request to provide computer software that provided monitoring in addition to auditing capability, enabling a lot more flexible internet access;

1 . Fulfil the school’s issue regarding chat room task on school computers;

* Remove undesired communications from the schools computers such as pornography, racism and bullying.

Examination Setup

The school thought that extensive computer mistreatment was taking place by means of a large number of their own students, approximately 1600 individuals sharing 480 computers, yet could neither prove, or quantify, their suspicions. Recognition and analytical software was installed to determine kids and extent of this wrong use. The analytical element of application was configured and mounted in order to:

a new) Log the computer exercise of each student over a per user basis.

m) Monitor and record existing traffic across the system architecture that did not comply with the school’s Acceptable Use Policy.

Analysis Results

Within minutes of the first day of implementing the test, a new violation icon was pulsating. The test was carried out in stealth mode to stop the users of the computer systems knowing that their action was monitored. By the finish of that day, more than 2000 violations had been recognized. The volume of infractions kept growing; to the surprising number of over 20,000 in two weeks. Think about that these violations happened on only 480 personal computers within a school associated with 1600 students. The violations averaged GREATER than a single violation per student per day. The school administrators weren’t prepared for this level of misuse of the university computers.

Additionally, the range and also seriousness of the violations was unexpected.

· Bad language was being found in chat rooms, e–mail, message boards, instantaneous messaging and mobile phone texting.

· Students were trying, and all too often succeeding, to access pornographic internet websites. This was particularly worrying, as the school used the Internet via selection and blocking systems installed by the School District.

· There were descriptions of violence and types of bullying and racism.

· Students abused the computer system in all applications, not just in accessing the Internet along with email. Violations were discovered in word processing files and spreadsheets.

· Any culture of inappropriate use of the computer equipment was prevalent. Typing inappropriate words about teachers was commonplace.

· A significant number of infractions originated outside the classes, for example, via hotmail.

The school administration established an Acceptable Use Coverage to govern the use of the school computers. At the end of these two week trial period that they decided to publish and make known to all individuals and staff that the course’s Acceptable Use Policy was being enforced.

At log-on, and in order to keep on, every user had to affirm agreement to work in the school’s Acceptable Use Coverage. To allow the education with the students to continue, it absolutely was decided to show as well as discuss with offenders proof of their violations, as opposed to to take immediate disciplinary action. The software ended up being directed to operate in active mode which persuaded the software to promptly notify the user associated with violations and disrupt the chat room, instant messaging, email or other request that the violation happened. Initially students challenged the Policy and continued making use of their activity. However, when personal computers were immediately shut down if a violation occurred and college students were confronted on the spot simply by school administrators, compliance took place rapidly. The direct effect of this approach was a noticeable drop in infractions.

Conclusions

This test and examination was able to identify the range and level of the problem. Alone, it provided a broad remember to brush method of supporting the college Acceptable Use Policy along with went some way in the direction of eliminating the misuse of personal computers in the school. This analytical software identified the issue and provided part of the solution. The response and administration element of the software provided the rest

I’ve promoted many, many products over the past five years of blogging and if you were to ask me what sold best, I’d very quickly say – Product Launch Formula.

I don’t know the exact amount, but I’m confident I’ve generated over $100,000 in sales (probably closer to $150K) of just this one product through each incarnation its creator, Jeff Walker, has released.

This is a real testament to the quality, relevance and power of the strategies and tactics Jeff has taught us over the years. I personally have benefited directly and indirectly more from this one system than anything else I’ve ever studied in Internet marketing. I’ve applied the launch formula to every release of every product of my own, and learned a tremendous amount from other marketers using the techniques. It’s truly life changing stuff, when you apply it.

Simply put – if you’re selling something online you are CRAZY if you don’t know and apply what Product Launch Formula teaches. It’s fundamental training in online selling psychology, which I suspect is a very good reason why it’s sold so well for me as an affiliate product.

The End Of Case Studies

One thing I can unequivocally state is that my blog readers LOVE case studies.

Some of the most popular blog posts I publish are the podcast interviews I do with people who started with nothing, went to work to build an online business, and ended up making big money. These stories are inspiring, educational, and of course great marketing materials too when you use them as part of a lead-in to releasing a product.

This is a tactic taught inside Product Launch Formula, which makes sense, since Jeff uses lots of case studies to promote his own product.

Unfortunately due to the new rulings by the Federal Trade Commission in the USA regarding case study testimonials, Jeff’s decided to be extra cautious and remove the case studies from the web.

Before he does this there’s one particular case study you HAVE to listen to if you haven’t already before Jeff takes it down.

It’s called the Food Stamps to Six Figures case study, or sometimes the Horizontal Helix case study, but I prefer to call it –

The $9000 A Month From A Board Game Case Study

Just enter your email on that page and you will have access to stream or download the case study immediately.

I also did a write up after listening to the case study myself, which you can read here – $9000 A Month From A Board Game?

Product Launch Formula 2.3+ Opens One Last Time Next Sunday

On Sunday and Monday, the final days before December 1st when the new FTC rulings come in that are forcing Jeff to take down his case studies, Jeff is opening up the doors to his Product Launch Formula 2.3+ version of his course (that just means it’s the newest version, lol).

I’m not going to push this too hard as many have already purchased this course. If you have the money for it, it’s a must-have training program, if you don’t, at least listen to the case studies Jeff is giving away before he pulls them down next month – they are free.

I’ll have some bonuses for those of you who order the course through my affiliate link, which I’ll tell you about via email before it opens on Sunday.

In the meantime, go listen to the $9,000 Herb Board Game Case Study before it’s taken offline –

This post is going to seem like a blatant testimonial sales pitch for my Blog Mastermind program, and it is, but I’m publishing this for other reasons as well.

The post just before this one was a guest article by Krizia who blogs at Eat Smart Age Smart. Her article if you haven’t read it already, was a fairly in-depth look at how food, in particular bad eating habits, affects your ability to perform as an entrepreneur. It’s pretty clear after reading the article that Krizia is passionate about healthy eating and she did a great job of creating an article tailored to my audience. You can read the post here -

7 Eating Habits That Sabotage Your Productivity As An Entrepreneur

This is a perfect example of how to really leverage your opportunity when you have a chance to do a guest post on another popular blog or website. Krizia put some real time into her post and gave me (and you) some of her best stuff. She invested real effort – and she did so months ago because it took me more than a month to publish her article. In a sense she gave me some of her best content with “blind faith” hoping that she would reap some rewards and understanding fully that by giving something special she had the best chance of coming out on top.

This is such a rare quality in a blogger, and it’s the reason why Krizia’s trajectory is so good right now with her blogging business.

In a moment I’m going to publish a lengthy report from Krizia where she explains how her blog business has grown during the previous months after she joined my program. Krizia’s outlook is good, and I can confidently say that is entirely because of how much effort she puts in each and every day into her business, on top of the job she still keeps (which hopefully she won’t need for much longer).

It’s sad for me sometimes to accept the realization that many – the majority in fact – of people who join my coaching programs will not get the result they want. I can rest well at night because I know it’s not my fault, I provide the tools and the knowledge to succeed, but only a few people have the energy and commitment to make it work.

This is why I like to celebrate success stories like Krizia’s. Not only does she demonstrate that it’s possible to succeed with a blog and make good money and enjoy all kinds of other benefits thanks to blogging, but she shows what kind of effort it takes across the board. I say across the board because you need to approach your entire blogging strategy with enthusiasm and energy, including what you publish on your blog, what you do to market your blog and in every interaction you have where there is an opportunity to build your blogging business.

This is of course a “life rule” as anything you want success in you must approach with your purest enthusiasm, anything halfhearted will deliver halfhearted outcomes.

Over the past few years I’ve had a lot of people send me guest posts for this blog or just ask to submit them. Generally I say no, though I do like to consider my students as a way of rewarding them for their support. Only the best articles make it live to my site, as is the case with Krizia’s.

I’ve also received a lot of testimonials over the years from my students and general readership thanking me for my work, which is always a wonderful thing. As you will read in a moment though, Krizia went above and beyond with her feedback. She sent me a testimonial that is not only a glowing recommendation for my program, but can actually serve to inspire and teach other bloggers who want to see what a blog can do for you.

It’s because Krizia put in significant effort into both her guest post for me, and her testimonial, that I’m shining a light on her now with this post. It wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t put in so much effort to help me and to help her readers, and thus get rewards in return.

Thanks Krizia, and keep up the good work!

Testimonial for Blog Mastermind

I found out about Yaro’s Blog Mastermind 48 hours before it re-launched in summer of 2008. I found out about the program from my daily surfing of Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger.net site.

I didn’t know who Yaro was, but the sales letter, and more importantly the video testimonials from ordinary people, were compelling enough to get me to sign-up for the program in an attempt to increase traffic, revenue and notoriety to my site with a guy I had never heard about before.

When I joined Blog Mastermind I had been already blogging for one year, but I had made so many “newbie mistakes” and I was trying to process an overload of information from another coaching program I was part of at the time that was quite cumbersome and didn’t provide a clear step-by-step guide, so I really wasn’t seeing much results. Right up to September 2008, I considered quitting working on my first blog because the time and results ratio where out of whack. I’ve decided to hold on to my first site until my new site on nutrition picks up and then I will focus all my attention on the second site and will sell the first one.

I found Yaro’s sales letter to be so devoid of hype and I was hoping that it would translate into the Blog Mastermind program… AND it did!

From the very first lesson, it was clear this program was broken down into such minute parts that it was easy to follow and for someone like myself who had been blogging for one year, it was good to learn where I needed to focus my attention in order to get REAL results.

There are too many “ah-ha” moments in the program for me to list them all, but I can tell you that it didn’t take me long to apply all the new techniques I was learning on a weekly base. I was only able to focus on the course a couple of hours a week, but I took everything I learned and applied it throughout the week to my blog.

When I first started Yaro’s program I was maybe making $200 per month between affiliate sales, Adsense and ads served on my site (I work with a media company for that and I don’t sell the ads directly because it’s a bit trickier for my niche).

I’ll be honest, from the end of July when I started Yaro’s program to the end of November not much happened in terms of revenue, but my traffic and my opt-ins were growing steadily and that gave me confidence.

I was writing about 90% pillar content on my site and I also had a traffic assistant help me with generating more direct traffic to my site. By the end of November my revenues had jumped to about $400 per month. By end of December, my revenues had increased by another couple of hundred dollars and I closed the month with about $600 and I was now getting monthly cheques from Adsense (I’m still not getting huge cheques, but at least I’m getting money every month to help with expenses of running the business).

In January 2009, my revenue increased to $1600 and by February 2009 I surpassed the $2000 mark. I was pretty proud of myself and I was beaming like crazy. I even posted feedback in the member’s forum because my beauty niche is not that easy when it comes to affiliate type products so I thought it might encourage other members.

Nothing prepared me for March 2009 because my revenues spiked to about $5400 for that month and it was such a considerable spike that Account Managers from some of the affiliate companies I was using placed a “courtesy call” to see if I needed their help for anything.

My month of April 2009 was a bit slower compared to March 2009, but it’s one million times better than what I was making in April 2008. May 2009 was an excellent month and it more than double what I made in January 2009!

This is an approximation of my growing income from when I started the Blog Mastermind Coaching program with Yaro:

• August 2008 to October 2008: $200/mo
• November 2008: $400
• December 2008: $600
• January 2009: $1,600
• February 2009: $2,000
• March 2009: $5,400
• April 2009: $2,800
• May 2009: $3,500

Revenue sources: affiliate programs, clickbank sales, adsense and ad revenues (I deal with ad serving companies and do not get my ads on my own).

Other milestones since starting the Blog Mastermind Program

December 2008: I was approached by a syndication network that was asked by one of the largest media companies in Canada to contact me because they wanted to syndicate my content on their platform.

February 2009: I hired a writer (on contract). I published my first clickbank product for my beauty site (I’m not seeing much sales at this point and I’ll need to refine the marketing strategy around this product to get better results).

March 2009: I created my first big contest for my readers on my beauty site and that created a lot of traffic and also it created a precedence, so now I conduct contests monthly to keep readers coming back to the site, increase loyalty and get current readers to invite their friends to join my list.

April 2009: Official launch of my new site – www.EatSmartAgeSmart.com. I applied everything I had learned from Blog Mastermind and only 60 days after launching the site, I’m at about 3000 unique visitors per month. I was approached by one of the largest networks for beauty and lifestyle sites to represent both of my ads for US ad revenue… up to now I was only capitalizing my Canadian traffic and not on my US traffic.

May 2009: I resumed traffic strategy to get back links to the new site by hiring a traffic assistant team. I’ve been approached by a few marketers asking how they can join my affiliate program to sell my products. I didn’t have one at the time and that explains why I jumped in Yaro’s Membership Site Mastermind program!

I joined Membership Site Mastermind 90 minutes before it closed (at about 10:30 pm EST on Monday, May 11th) because I finally had a big picture of what I wanted my media company to look like.

I got my new EatSmartAgeSmart.com site syndicated. I was approached by a large firm in the US to have my content appear on a private site for members only that was being built. The company put over 1 million in this project and right now, we’re in talks to see how this can work for my EatSmartAgeSmart.com site.

The EatSmartAgeSmart.com site went from a 0/10 PR rating to a 3/10 in less than 2 months! It took me about 7-8 months to accomplish that with my first site! I used all the tools Yaro gave us and made sure the new site was VERY SEO friendly there was no way Google would miss me.

Along with all these great things that have happened, I also wanted to refer to a feature on Yaro’s site that highlighted one of the Blog Mastermind students who had received over $10,000 in products to test (Robb Sutton). I have to say that I must have received three times that amount and I was receiving so many parcels each week that my mail service centre were overwhelmed and considered hiking me yearly fee (but, they didn’t because they actually like me and I’m always so appreciative for their support) and I had to beg some of the big cosmetic companies not to send me products unless I asked because I could not keep up!

I also make sure to write any reviews as a pillar article and I send it to the company that sent me the product. Many times, the publicist was so impressed that he/she forwarded my post to the directors of the company and my post is often featured on the “press/media pages.”

I even have a company who when they heard I was waiting for sales to stock up on their products where almost insulted and insisted that they keep providing the products to me for free because they appreciated my support in helping spread the word about their product. The good thing about this company is that I love the quality of their products so much that I would in fact pay the money to keep using them!

I have no doubt that my traffic and revenues have been growing as a direct result of my applying Yaro’s techniques. I still have a lot of things that I learned in the course that I need to refine like marketing my You Tube videos a bit better, getting an online radio set-up and launching two membership sites later this year, but I’m confident that with the skills and knowledge I’ve acquired it should be easy for me to accomplish these goals before the end of the year.

My next big challenge will be to get the current ebook I have listed on Clickbank to provide me substantial monthly sales.

I’ve also taken a cue from Fran at HighOnHealth.org (after watching Yaro’s interview with her) and I’ve started being a lot more aggressive with video reviews! That was such an informative feature that has helped me better understand the power of YouTube.

Thank you Yaro for providing such a great learning platform for newbie bloggers and more advanced bloggers looking for better performing marketing skills!

One last thing I’d like to add, Yaro was one of the first marketers who said that it was okay to focus on using your blog as a platform and build a company around one niche. Most other marketers I’ve followed up to now promote finding profitable micro-niches and since the list is endless, that means most other coaching programs were jumping all over the place and I never felt like I had accomplished anything. Yaro’s programs are so laser focused, you eliminate wasteful activities, you do see results and you never feel lost or frustrated.

Also, Yaro is so present on the members forum, it’s insane how much support I’ve received directly from him and other more experienced bloggers.

If you weren’t sure if Yaro’s programs were worth the time or money, I can assure you that I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on online coaching programs and other than Jeff Johnson’s coaching program (which is ten times more expensive than Yaro’s), Yaro’s is the other one that has really positively changed my business. In fact, I really wouldn’t hesitate joining any new program Yaro launches because it’s worth the money and it’s worth my time.

Finally, if you want to be successful while still enjoying a positive quality of life, Yaro’s the mentor to follow!
