Justin Blake and How To Change Your Life With The Way You Think
By Ross Goldberg | August 19, 2008
I recently connected with Justin Blake. A friend/business partner of his recently attended my Traffic workshop in New York and we hit it off. I told him what I was capable of and some details on what I do and he was floored.
They spend more than most people make in a year on Adwords in a single month! Once I told Justin what I could do with free traffic, he was thrilled to have met me.
So, after talking to Justin, I started looking around at some of his products and was surprised by what I found.
Justin Blake isn’t the average IM Guru. Yes, he gets marketing, but his story is pretty amazing.
Just a few short years ago, he was working with sheetrock, getting paid by the hour, and living paycheck to paycheck.
Now he has a list of 700,000 people that listen to what he has to say.
I’d say that Justin has done something right!
We have a bit of a similar past with a lot of negativity that had surrounded us and made us into crap magnets. No matter how much either of us focused or how hard we worked, we always ended up back in the same crappy situation.
Justin discovered this secret long before I did.
He realized that by lining up your thoughts, you can get yourself out of the crap.
You brain is keeping you from succeeding. It’s your thoughts that are keeping you where you are at.
Take a look at Justin Blake’s discovery and put some serious thought into whether you want to make a change and improve your life now, or keep dealing with the garbage.

Affsphere - The Death Of Article Marketing?
By Ross Goldberg | August 15, 2008
Is Article Marketing Dead? No!
Something that effective can’t die.
It’s based on an equation that will forever work for the internet: Web sites need content and most people are lazy + People have websites and need traffic = Content writers produce good content with a link to their website and site owners use the content to attract more visitors to their sites, too.
My close friend Anik Singal has thousands of articles printed and they make him money every day. Over the last year, he has been slowly putting together an article marketing report that rocks. In fact, I think he’s lost his mind, because he’s allowing people to pick it up for as low as $5. You can check out Anik Singal’s article marketing report here.
Anik has also put together the best possible article website, called Affsphere. It shares all ad revenue and even allows you to advertise your products and websites in reward for adding your content to the site.
This is what I like to call a “No Brainer”.

5 Targeted Traffic Secrets that nobody ever talks about.
By Ross Goldberg | August 11, 2008
As the web grows and changes, there are specific things that nobody seems to discuss about how to reach more people. Would you believe that it actually takes less effort now than before? By realizing some things about your customers and the way the internet is going, you can reach more people now.
The first secret is to have interesting conversations. Converse with other experts in your niche, as well as potential customers. You can do this via your blog by linking to blog posts on other blogs that are interesting to you. Use their ideas to help you create something that your audience would be interested in reading. Link to their post from yours and they will get a notice called a “trackback” in their comments. Most of the time, this will start a conversation that will bring you both more targeted traffic.
Another great way to talk to people is Twitter. Find people that talk about what you are doing in your business by using Twitter’s search function. Follow them to stay updated on what they do and interact with your audience. As you talk to people, more people will want to talk to you.
Secret number two is your story. People don’t want to do business with companies, they want to work with people. Is there a reason you sell what you do? Do you have an interesting background story related to your business? Have you faced hard times in your life that relate directly to why you do what you do? Tell your story and you will get more sales and better customers. This qualifies people and helps them get to know you better. Always think about the perception of you that your customers will take away from what you reveal, some things are better left unsaid.
Secret three is remembering that your audience people, too. People focus far too much on numbers, conversions, sales statistics, etc… Focus on the fact that your audience are human beings. Do you like when you are forced to view a pop up window? They may not like it either. Optimize the experience of your visitors by thinking about what they would enjoy. There are two sides to your website, results and the experience of the user. Always think of both to get better results with the same amount of traffic.
Secret four is relationships. Building the right relationships for your business can get you immediate massive traffic. I get JV (joint venture) requests every day, all day long. The ones that I pay attention to are from people that I know and care about. Imagine for a moment what would happen if you could simply pick up the phone and tell a friend that you need their help with something. Wouldn’t that work better than sending a spammy email to someone you don’t know?
You should also be building relationships with your customers. The better they know you and like you, the more likely they are to buy from you and your company. Do a show on Ustream, respond to comments on your blog posts, and deliver content they can devour and enjoy.
The last secret is to find communities in your niche. There are already websites where thousands of your potential customers hang out. Find them and join up. Help people and answer any questions they may have and they will begin searching for you in droves. Build your reputation up and don’t be spammy or post offers, simply help people. It takes time and a bit of effort, but before long you will have a raving audience by simply becoming part of the community and helping people that are already interested in what you do.
Nice and easy, right? Start taking action on these ideas now and you will be surprised with how fast you’ll notice massive changes to the amount of traffic you’re getting right now. For more on these topics and 79 methods to reach more customers and get tons of lazer targeted traffic, check out The Traffic Manifesto 2.0.

3 Easy Steps To Massive Blog Traffic
By Ross Goldberg | August 5, 2008
At one point, the amount of traffic coming to my blog was pathetic. I knew that I had to do something to fix that problem and began studying. I was totally and completely focused on building a massive amount of targeted traffic to my blog.
In my studies, I realized that the first step was to “lazer target” my content to draw in traffic that was very specific and interested in my main topics. I did this by researching what questions were already being asked by my potential customers. I had a list of sites that they visited often and checked to see what they wanted to know. What questions were they asking? Once I had those answers, I had step one done and I was ready to go.
Step 2 was to create a feeling of community and start conversations on my blog. I began linking to my friends and competitors from my blog posts. This would give them a notification called a “trackback” in their comments for their blog posts. Once someone receives a trackback, the next logical step is to check out what is being said about you. If you say something they want to respond to, the conversation begins. This is a killer way to “steal” your competitor’s audience right out from under their nose.
The other piece of the conversation happens on your blog. Reply to comments on posts you write! If you have people visiting your blog and talking, they are effectively making an attempt to talk to you. Take a few moments and respond to everyone that has something interesting to say.
The last step is to format your posts properly. Tags are key words that describe your posts, but they also serve a very important function when it comes to your blog. Categories basically do the same thing. Choose between 4 and 10 tags per blog post you create, also setup categories that contain the best keywords you are targeting on your blog. Each tag and category will get its own page.
Blog traffic is based around the idea of building a following and keeping them coming back for more. For the best blog traffic guide around, head over to The Traffic Manifesto 2.0 to get 79 methods of reaching more customers.

I refuse to slam my customers with promo emails… (Read on)
By Ross Goldberg | July 30, 2008
I’m dead serious here. I have dozens of JV requests hitting me every single day. Many of the products are good, some of them are great, but how can I put proper emphasis on a product while promoting 10 others?
I can’t.
And, you deserve better.
So, here is the scoop. I’m going to list a bunch of products that are either just launched or launching in a day or 2. I will tell you what I think about each one. I will also be following up with anyone that purchases through any of the links below to ensure that you are applying the knowledge inside whatever you purchase. Find out how to get on the phone with me at the end of this post.
Review Crusher: Mike Filsaime’s brand new business in a box is a review script that reveals exactly how one of my close friends earns over 6 figures every year simply reviewing products. The script is very well put together and he even throws in some sample reviews. I strongly recommend you do your own reviews, though. Use the ones you get and add your voice to them. This one is for those that have some experience and are looking for a business model they can use.
Rich Schefren and Brad Semp’s Newsletter: I’ve known Rich for a few months and you can read other posts to see what I think of him (it’s quite positive), but I recently met Brad Semp and was floored with his knowledge and abilities. His Cash Maps are awesome and he and Rich have teamed up to give you new ones every month. I believe that this is applicable to anyone and you will learn a ton.
Teleseminar Formula: I did a teleseminar last year that resulted in 87 units of one of my products sold. The initial call brought in 42 sales and the rest were brought in via a brilliant process that my affiliates used to get people to keep coming for the offer. It literally doubled the profits. Bob “The Teacher” Jenkins was an actual teacher, so he knows how to give you the step by step lessons that are easy to apply. This one is great for those that have a list of over 1,000 people and are ready to get more sales.
Freedom Class: Tim Brocklehurst is someone that I have a MASSIVE amount of respect for. His Freedom Classes have been going on all over the world where he brought people together and taught them everything they need to get their business together and off the ground fast. You can decide if this one is for you by checking out the prelaunch videos you go to by clicking the link above. I recommend it for those that need all of the missing pieces to the online business puzzle.
Faster Webmaster 2: Erik Stafford is one of my best friends. He is part of a very small group of people that I share ALL of my thoughts with. His Faster Webmaster 2 is built to give you everything you need to get a business started online. I even gave a hand with some of the traffic info. This one is for people that are having trouble with the basics.
Expert Wordpress: Alex Sysoef was one of my top affiliates for a recent promotion. He gets blogging and internet marketing, which is very hard to come by. If anyone can show you how to use Wordpress effectivley, it’s Alex. This one is great for those that can create good content, but need help with minor techie stuff.
Post Launch Profits: Alex Jeffries put together an amazing book revealing how he followed up a product launch with specific actions that made him over six figures after his launch was over. The best part is that he gave it away for free. I recommend this one for those that have their own products, but everyone can use it. After all, the book is free.
Confessions of an Online Marketer: Glen Hopkins’ new book is very revealing. It reveals 7 secrets he has discovered over time that he and I know you can use to take your business to the next level. Use promo code “free” to get the book for free.
Here is how this works. Take a look at the offers above and decide which one or ones will help you. Submit a support ticket to my help desk and let me know what you bought. We will then spend some time on the phone to go over how you can implement what you learn from each product. Here is the amount of time you get:
Under $200 - 30 min.
Under $500, but above $200 - 60 min.
Under $1000, but above $500 - 120 min.
This is not a bonus.
This is my way of making sure you take advantage of your investments and apply them to earn you more money. If you have any questions related to a specific product, comment on this post, so it can help everyone that may have similar questions.
My normal charge for consulting is $250 per hour, I’m doing this specifically to make sure you get value from anything you invest your hard earned money in based on my recommendation.
So, look through everything above, grab what you can use and let’s make sure you make more money from it!
