The Golden Thread – BS Alert Triggered!

Now, as an affiliate, I do get to see some of these salesletters in advance when I receive JV offers, and there’s one coming up soon that is so hysterical I have to give you advance notice of it. The product is from Michael Cheney and goes under the moniker of ‘The Golden Thread’. Continue reading

Mindset of a Successful Marketer

Forget what you’ve been led to believe all your life, that other people are in some way better than you, more gifted than you, more intelligent than you. This is the way that society keeps you in your place and the way that the people who are successful manage to feed off your sense of failure. Continue reading

I’ve been hacked!

Over the weekend I checked my sites only to find that every single index page on every site had been replaced by an interloper – the Q8hack. Luckily this wasn’t too damaging. About an hour’s work and I’d restored all the correct index files again.

One unfortunate aspect, though, is that anyone who tried to access any of my sites will have seen the hacked page and, unless they hit refresh when visiting again, their browser cache will continue to show the incorrect page.

However I got off likely. One of the sites at which I’m a member, Earn1kaday, found that their forum had been shut down because their webhosts had found an ‘infestation’ that was attacking and damaging other sites.

How these attacks happened I don’t yet know. Clearly the hackers have to break security to get into the servers to perform these ‘infestations’. We’ll probably never know the answer.

I could warn you, if you run your own sites, to always make sure you have a backup of each site ready to restore just in case a server hack brings your sites down. But, in my experience, people don’t bother about backups until the worst happens!

But it does remind me that I was going to write a report on avoiding email hacks and scams which are far more prevalent. I’m seeing more intelligent use by email scammers of clever tricks these days and, whilst I’ve concocted a recipe for avoiding these, not everyone manages to avoid the ravages of an email opened by mistake.

So I’ll start writing and I’ll get this report to you as quickly as I can. If you’re a subscriber you’ll get it for free.

Marketing Speak – Is It Really Necessary?

For some reason I was suddenly struck, today, by the relatively meaningless adjectives that some marketers use in their emails and/or copy.

Here’s a couple of examples from some email messages I received today…

“I’ve done some killer videos revealing some cool traffic tactics”

“Here’s a sneak peak of what’s waiting for you if you decide to take a risk-free look inside this amazingly detailed system” Continue reading

Niche Blitzkrieg – Or the Attack of the Niche Sites!

It took me over three years and thousands of dollars spent on niche marketing courses before I figured it all out. Now I look back on it I wish there’d been a single, step-by-step system that spelled out how to go about it. I could have not only saved myself a lot of time and money but I could have started earning a lot sooner!

At last someone’s put down all the steps you have to take to become a Niche Marketer in one ecourse… Continue reading
