Justin,
I bought and read and liked your SEO Lies Report about a week ago. The good news is, I mentioned in one of my posts on a IM forum and was delighted to see $7 credited to my PayPal account. The bad (sad) news is, I had no idea how frigging “white-belt” I am at this point.

I’m hoping the mistakes I’ve made thus far are not too severe (hosting company selection, domain name(s) and having vested quite a bit of blood, sweat and tears into the all to typical make money online niche.

I definately did the ready, fire, aim approach on this IM thing, but by reading yours and Bronson’s and Marlon’s stuff, the fog is beginning to clear a bit.

Staying the course,

Neil

PS – really liked your post “how the porn guys do it”

Hi Justin and I am sorry I can’t remember your wife’s name – Carmelo I think???
I started with Russells Stuff about a month ago. Haven’t made any sales except to my self…Have created a splash page for the Wealth Portfolio, and it is almost done this is what you would seen at successfromhome2008.com.

I have also marketed DirectMatchs for the last couple years, making a little there but not Tons…

I really haven’t thought of a product yet to promote so I’m planning on sticking to affiliate programs for know, So I’m taking any and all suggestions on how to market these. I emailed you guys cuz I believe you are still small enough to be able to have some one on one help. You really seem like you know what you are doing…I liked you idea of selling your report for $1.00, I have Free access to a very nice newsletter but I have been unsuccessful at promoting it, ( I believe I have 10 subscriber in my auto responder and I think if I sell the (first copy) it may go over a bet better. I would love to have you help me out a bit in ideas and such and how to’s if you feel you can.
now I’m going to go look at your blog a bit better,
Thanks,
Rhea

Hey Justin;

Great Post, you hit the nail on the head when it comes to people first starting out. Main thing you hammer out is don’t quit forever keep plugging and everything will eventually fall in place.

Great Blog you consistently put out terrific information.

@joyce In the resources section at the top of this site
there is a link to one and one which is a hosting company
we use.

With them you can have as many domains as you want
and all pointing to different sites. We have over 50 sites
hosted in our one $7/month account.

Thanks Justin!

Another thing I wanted to ask you–and this is more about SEO–if you have a domain hosted in a subdomain folder of a main domain–does it hurt your SEO possibilities substantially?
If it does should I just get a reseller account and host all of my domains separately?

Thanks again Justin!

Hey Justin,

Thank you for the post!

I wanted to ask you a question. When you say pick products the niche is already buying are you referring to Ebooks/info products and Ebooks/info products alone..or do you mean ANY product…like going to Amazon and giving them something to purchase there?

Thanks Justin!

Another good Sunday gospel J, really touched home. Lol, especially the quitting for a day, that’s what I do, but I’m pretty passionate about internet marketing so it really only lasts a few hours or till the next day. That’s funny. Good post brotha.

Hi Justin,

You did it again ! Amazing Post, I wish I could have read something like this when I quit 300 times in my first year online.

Like you I thank God I keep going, Life is Great ! I would trade my freedom for anything.

I went threw it all the wife complaining, the in-laws talking junk, my own family talking junk, now they all want to do what I’m doing….

I got the last laugh.

Thanks Again Justin,

You Rock !

Heh… heh… what attracted me to this blog Justin was the title. You see, for 35 years I have been one of those guys with one of those belts like the one in the picture. Actually, mine is quite a bit different to that.

Anyway, this is exactly what I have done – taken what I have learned in one discipline and applied it to the internet.

Your training analogy is very good and I had considered using it myself but it was just a little too close to reality for me.

But, a nice blog and well thought out. Good stuff.
Regards

Nice Post Justin, I really liked how you went into detail about what and how to do things.
I’m a total newbie at this so, could you maybe define “niches” give some examples of niches that work?

Thanks M8.

Great post. Telling like it really is. I might add do not quit your day job, until you are at the white belt or better. The first few sales are an inspiration to keep going for the next level.

@ Barry – Video salesletters do work. Early last year Jason Moffatt and I launched a $4,000 offer that was very limited and we used nothing but a video and order button. We did quite well with it too.

Although, we did do some pre-marketing to our lists about it before hand but anyone would do that regardless of video or non-video.

Also you might notice the video at the top right corner of this blog. That’s a video salesletter for our Mafia Forum. We’ve got over 100 members so far using just that video and the link underneath.

Great post Justin and it really got me to thinking…and reading! I sat and read the Cash Bootstrapping Method in one sitting and was mesmerized by it all. In all my marketing time I have avoided PPC like the plague but this really got the wheels turning.
One thing I would like an opinion on though is your thoughts on a “video” pre sell page with bullet and trigger points VS. a longer, drawnout print version. I haven’t read the Cash Presell Method…(yet..lol) but when I do maybe I can expand my horizons on making more powerful video landing pages.
Anyway…truly enjoy your blog!

Barry

Justin;

Good thoughts and approach. Thank you for your post and I will forward others to your blog.

One of the difficulties for rookies (I am a rookie still in many areas) is that on the surface it appears fairly simple. i.e. while “running a restaurant” appears simple on the surface, yet there are hundreds of things to monitor each day to maximize success.

AND so, the principles in your blog applies to a much broader view than just internet marketing.

Your ability to fill a portion of the 5 W’s (who, what, where, when, how, why) – (and how many) for those wanting to do business online is very good.

Thank you again for your sharing your wisdom and explaining the realities in simple objective terms. I am sure it will prove more valuable than you may realize to those in need.

Hey Justin,

great post! I also studied Aikido for a while, so it’s nice to bump into someone else in IM who studied. I once went to a big event where we were trained for a day by Sensei Kaneska and he was a tiny little guy like Yoda, but with incredible use of leverage he was able to send bunches of people flying across the room.

I guess in both Martial Arts and Internet Marketing, it all comes down to careful direction of energy and leverage.

All the best,

Tony.

Awesome post Justin! Great “whitebelt” moves everyone needs to master and stick with until they do. Thanks for breaking it down and removing excuses.

There is no substitute for massive action.
