In this post: Squeeze pages, a new report (on safelists), laptops on the blink and a video on something ‘often overlooked’…

Hello again and how you doing?

I just want to make a quick post covering a few things and one really important thing.

First…the squeeze page tests are returning some good data here’s a sneak peak at some of the top converting squeeze pages so far…

Early results put these 2 pages in the lead at around 63 and 71% conversions respectively…strange that the long form is doing better!

I’ll be sharing more comprehensive info soon but I haven’t got round to collating it all yet for a few reasons:

Partly due to writing a new report: Safelist X

click the cover to grab your copy or log into the Blueprint Membership area

Partly due to having to make a few changes to the member’s area system!

What was formerly the Blog Member’s Area is now the Blueprint Membership and I’m no longer using the ‘Wishlist Plugin’. (note: I couldn’t transfer existing members so if you haven’t yet (most of you have) you’ll need to re-sign up – sorry for any inconvenience but at least it is still FREE and it’s better than it was before)

Partly due to time lost fixing the laptop when it went haywire.

Good old technology strikes again!

BUT mainly there’s a VERY GOOD reason I haven’t got round to doing it yet and it’s something I don’t hear people talking about that often!
Here’s a (3 min 30 second) video to explain… (if you’re really so busy you can’t spare 3 minutes then watch the first 20 secs and the last minute…then ask yourself why you can’t find 3 spare minutes in your day you workaholic!!)

As always your comments are *really* appreciated, show me your alive ;-)

Till next time…

(** RJB **)

p.s. I’m finally going to get round to transferring all the videos to amazon S3 with Easy Video Player instead of using my bandwidth, so there may be the odd video related glitch over the next few weeks as I’m making changes.

As I continue along my Internet Marketing Journey, I’m travelling through the area of ‘driving web traffic’ and recently arrived at the topic of Safelists.

I grabbed 1,320,687 safelist credits in less than 3 days for less than 2 dollars!!!

(That’s enough to send out 1,320,687 promotional emails – which is the kind of volume that makes even low quality traffic worthwhile!)

Here’s the video showing you how you can do exactly the same (or probably even better)…

If you enjoy it (or even if you don’t) leave me a comment and let me know what you think…show me you’re alive ;-)

Once again it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been a bit quite lately. You see, I’ve been busy creating content for the members area and travelling around a lot for the day job…so it’s time for a catch up!! How are ya?

I’ve finally made time for a quick video about my online journey so far, what’s coming up & the REAL truth about the traffic myth…I hope you enjoy it! Let me know your thoughts!!

p.s. busy times right now but it’s get a bit less hectic soon so I’ll be posting more often over the coming weeks. Leave me a comment…show me you’re alive ;-)

Hey, I just want to write a quick post about The White Screen of Death, Getting Technical and Unleashing the Beast…enjoy!!

only to discover a totally blank browser window staring back at me!

No error message, no loss of internet connection message, just a 100% blank white screen!!!

It’s worth noting here that I had logged into my Wordpress Admin Area the day before no problem…and that I hadn’t done ANYTHING bewteen logging out one day and trying to log in the next!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!! <---The Noise of An Angry Rob!!

So, after much searching of sites and forums trying various suggestions I finally saw a title that really seemed to sum up my problem:

How to troubleshoot the Wordpress “White Screen of Death”!!

Perfect I thought: I followed the instructions here:

http://jaredheinrichs.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wordpress-white-screen-of-death.html <--Thanks Jared

That solved the problem (which turned out to be plugin related).

So all is good but it was a scary few minutes thinking that I had somehow LOST EVERYTHING!!!

It finally gave me the kick up the ass to get my blog backed up…seriously consider backing up your blog if you haven’t already it wasn’t actually that ‘technical’ either!

Anyway…

Speaking of getting technical: Step 3 The Getting Technical Video Tutorial Series is done:

click the picture to go to the videos

(There’ll be a few more getting added over the coming weeks but at least I’ve managed to stay pretty much on track and get most done despite a busy time of wedding related venue hunting, planning and all that – must be because I’ve read the Busy Fool Elimination Method – you should too ;-) )

The Videos take you step-by-step, over my shoulder, setting up a new website (www.myexamplesetupsite.com) right from step 1.

They’re all available for free because I’ve hosted these videos on youtube…BUT all videos for the next steps will ONLY be available to blog members (I’m going t be using something really cool for hosting instead of youtube but we’ll talk more about that in another post soon)…

…so if you haven’t got your free members area access yet then now you have ANOTHER reason to get it!

I hope you enjoy Step 3; check it out and let me know your thoughts, what else do you want to know about? is something missing? Leave me some feedback on the Getting Technical page and show me you’re alive!

Oh yeah just so you know what coming next…

Step 4 is : List Building (Unleash The List Building Beast)

Until next time…

Take Action & Enjoy!!

It’s been a while since i’ve posted (partly due to wordpress weirdness striking back – as you might have read previously wordpress and I enjoy a love hate relationship – but i’ll save that story for another post). For now, I just want to write a quick post to tell you all about Vegas, my new ebook, my second video, and what’s coming…

So… I recently returned from Alex Jeffreys’ Workshop in Vegas.

It was great to finally meet some of my fellow marketers and students in person and to hang out with a bunch of people who you can say “Google Slap” to and they don’t think you’re being kinky ;-)

But seriously if you haven’t been to an event yet, I cannot recommed getting yourself to one strongly enough for 2 main reasons:

Reason 1) The quality seminars.

We had great presentations by Alex, Stephanie Mulac, Jit Uppal, Dean Holland & Adam Spiel – If any of you are reading this then thanks again!!

These seminars all contained quite a few eye-opening “ah-ha” moments so I’d be amazed if anyone came away from these 2 days without AT LEAST 3 powerful things they can implement in their own business.

Plus it was inspirational to see how far people like Jit, Dean & Adam (who were members of Alex’s very first coaching program) had come along their journey.

Credit also to Garry Parkes who ensured the smooth running of the event throughout. Great job Garry and Thanks!

Reason 2) The “Networking”.

As if the workshop wasn’t value enough, the time spent hanging out in the bar, forging freindships, getting JV partners and getting EVEN MORE tips, tricks & advice from the guys already walking the walk was priceless.

Paul Wilson a.k.a “who is” (sorry mate but I think you’re stuck with that one), Marcus Passey, Garry Parkes, Guy Hague, Graeme Ashe, Ross Vegas, Gary Simpson, David ‘food critic’ Walker, Dean Oram, Dean Holland, Dan Briffa, Marc ‘the rohypnotist’ Milburn, Jit Uppal & of course Alex – it was a pleasure gents, and I look forward to hanging out with you all again sometime soon! …until then…one for the road ;-)

now back to business….

I’ve just finished my second eBook all about building your online business on solid foundations.

I’m just giving it away for free with NO EMAIL REQUIRED for now (part of a plan but i’ll get to that in a later post) so it’d be great for you to grab it and let me know your thoughts on the feedback page. I hope you enjoy!

Just click the cover to claim your complementary copy or log into your free members area account. If you’ve not got an account yet then get one HERE.

I’ve also just finished my second video; my blog welcome video is done. It’s not perfect but I’m getting better at video. Hope you enjoy it and again your feedback would be very much appreciated

And finally, a quick note about what’s coming next…

I’m working on the ‘Getting Technical’ video tutorial series (this comes after Step 1 – Building Solid Foundations & Step 2 – The Busy Fool Elimination Method) and will cover Step 3 – Setting up your Blog. I’ll be setting up a brand new example site from the VERY beginning….

As always it’s great to hear your comments particularly regarding what you want to see in the videos, so show me you’re alive!

Until next time. Take Action & Enjoy!
