What does this mean for Marketing Methods that use free trial and free shipping
to entice membership.

Visa and Master card are chasing this up they seem to have a problem with forced “hidden” continuity
so some of the big player who have continuity programs that are not 100% transparent and legit
could well have their accounts suspended
customers must be made aware of terms and conditions.

Merchants must not put obstacles in the way of cancellations
It looks like Visa are getting a wee bit fed up with all those charge backs.

It cost’s them a heck of money to process and must take up valuable time.
Visa say they don’t want any programs that offer free trials with a low first payment and a recurring payment

what they seem to be chasing are sites that say offer a dollar start up or some kind of free gift
but are far from upfront on say the £40 a month continuity fee and have avoided
putting confirmation check boxes so the buyer is fully aware of what they are signing up for.

Many of the big players will be brought down by Visa and Master Cards decision ,However when one door closes another one opens so there
will be new opportunities for people there always is.

here’s a snippet from PowerPay

Marketing models that employ “Free-Trial”, “Deferred Billing” and/or “Shipping Only”. Customers must be receiving a tangible good or contracted service in exchange for charging of payment cards. Incentivized discount offers are acceptable when the cardholder is receiving something in exchange for payment, however we will be unable to support accounts engaging in hidden or delayed charges and ‘free’ offers that are not truly free.

Who knows where this is all going to lead but watch what & listen
what this gentleman Ryan Lee has to say

When people get to this point they become very easily distracted.

Michael Shakespear Fallon

you might have a re- think and embark on how to write good copy either for yourblog posts or sales pages .
That’s when you have a couple of choices to make .

Do you go on a journey and try to please the search engines by saturating your copy with keywords and links
Or do you write to give your blog/sales visitors value ,” Value for taking their time to come  over to visit you”
These people are very busy people who  are most probably,  looking for good stuff to read .

It’s a tricky one ,there’s no mistake,but heaven forbid if you just concentrate on the search engines.

The drawback with writing for the search engines is you run the risk of boring your visitors to death.

Blogging is not just about being interested in your self but also about being interested in otherpeople.

when you first start writing ,you are  usually writing for other people , but then you start reading about other ways to bring traffic to your blog  and try to implement search engine optimization or Seo for short
which is a not a bad thing , but just be careful because we want to keep our post full of humor , facts ,valuable information , empathy,feedback and most of all real life.

We want to keep our blogs interactive

Just getting away from blogging for a second and jumping onto the subject of copy for email marketing

Alex Jeffreys ,Lee McIntyre, Dean Holland , do not stick to the norm in their copy , every time I open an email from any one of these three it is full of quirky copy here’s an extract from one of Lees emails

Cripes, I’m writing this message at 15:25 the
following day and I’m still feeling a bit “delicate”.

(…and that’s an understatement!)

or this one

I held nothing back and the audience thought
I was BONKERS for giving away so much of
the good stuff!

Cripes is that in the English language mmm I’m not sure is Bonkers ,again I’m not sure but they are words that jump out at you and grab your attention.

To stand out on the internet you have to be a bit unique
so write for humans first ,and the search engines second
cheers Mick.

I’ll bet you’ve thought about starting your own internet business at some stage.

Most people have … we’ve all seen how people make incredible amounts of money, seemingly from ‘nothing’, and it all takes place in cyberspace, no premises, no staff, no fleet of vehicles, just one person and their PC.

Or, it’s the dream of working for yourself and having the wonderful freedom to make money wherever you are via an online business that only requires a broadband connection and a laptop.

If you have ever thought about starting your own business on the Net, don’t leave it a moment longer.

Make your New Year resolution that you will finally make a start with your home internet business.

And if you have started already, make 2010 the year it really takes off.

There’s an easy way to do this, and it’s happening right now … but you have to get in quick!

You need to check out the New Year Giveaway at http://new-jv-talent.com/go/501

A Giveaway event is a great way to launch your online career.

Here’s how they work:

# A host sets up and advertises a Giveaway event – in this case the host’s name is Paul Teague

# Existing Internet Marketers sign up and add their ‘gifts’ to the Giveaway … these are usually e-books, software packages, audios or videos

# When the Giveaway opens, members (like you) sign up and get access for free

# The gifts are available free of charge to regular members, all they have to do is sign up to a Marketer’s mailing list to gain access

# As well as getting some high quality training materials, members also get to make connections with established marketers who can guide them to web success.

To see how it works, sign-up free at http://new-jv-talent.com/go/501

It really is as good as it sounds, and don’t think for one minute that because products are offered free, that they are of a low quality.

Marketers offer some of their best products in these Giveaways.

Why?

Because they know that if they make contacts with people at the beginning of their web careers, they will stay with them and learn from them long after the first free gift has been downloaded.

It’s a win-win situation, which is why they’re called ‘Joint Ventures’ or ‘JVs’ … everybody wins.

So, let this be one New Year resolution that you don’t break.

Sign up free at http://new-jv-talent.com/go/501 right now, and let this be the year you start your own home internet business.

I wish you every success.

Mick Fallon

By the way, Paul Teague asked me to mention that he is offering free access to his Giveaway training website at http://www.first-jv-coach.com

These free memberships are free only until 15 January 2010, so get in fast before he pulls the offer!

yes work with Google and they will work with you

Google have some of the coolest tools out there

my favorite at the moment is Google alerts

what a great tool for getting some relevant up to date content for
your blog posts

then the must have tool is the Google keyword tool an absolute must.

and of course Google analytics

there is no need for me to explain how they all work because I

just cannot improve on how Google teaches ” who can”

anyway be sure to use Google free  tools before you
spend any money you have nothing to loose
they are free…

also obviously the best whether to find anything on the internet is to google it first

so obvious but often overlooked

if your tempted to buy a product and your heart is pumping with excitement

just hold back a wee bit and google the person selling it

read their reviews

much better that to have to have, buyers remorse

and ask for refund

oh and by the way be sure to check out my google traffic pump system

cheers Mick

Alex Jeffrey’s course this year ,was worth the entrance fee just for the forum alone.

I mentioned Rob Canyon in my last post and by no means do I want to go through all the members in the forum and tell you what each and everyone of one of them are up to .

Because for one I don’t know and for two, I know for sure a lot of them are so busy they are engrossed in there own projects.

However there is one such guy who deserves a mention and that is
Paul Hooper

Paul  has been helping out in the forum ,putting people first as well as putting his super knowledge into some brilliant products, two of which he gave away free to the first ten people who only had to ask for one in the forum.

It was a no brainer for me , I have to tell you my name was  first on the list .

The two products were  Adword’s and Giveaways , both  part of his

LBD_Premium_Package

products  that helps to grow your list ..and we all know what Alex Jeffrey’s says

“The Money is in the List”. within two hours I had my product up

http://listbuildingforthemoney.info

What I like about Paul’s products, are that they are put together so well “anyone” and I mean “anyone” can follow his clear concise and superbly done videos.

“So” through my blog , I want to say a big thank you to Paul
and why not check out Paul’s  blog, its well worth a visit.

It is said , don’t go seeking your teacher,

for when you are ready your teacher will find you

well that’s exactly what has happened to me .                                                        

As many of you know earlier in the year I joined the Alex Jeffreys coaching school.

Now some of the people on this course had a wealth of business and Internet marketing  knowledge,and were looking for JV partners.

One such guy stood out to me , his name is Rob Canyon and when I visited his blog , I found  so much valuable information on there , “all for free”.

I and many others were taken aback at what Rob was offering.

I thought to myself if this guy ever decides to open up his own coaching school , “I want in”.

Well lady luck was shinning on me, for after a couple of months,
low and behold he announced on his blog that he was giving a webinar on what its like to build
“a six figure business in less than 30 days”.

No problem for my good friend Rob, because he’s done
it several times… both offline & online.

AND… he’s got just a few seats left on
his ‘How he made $3758 in 21 days’ live webinar…

The seats are fre.e, but you must
act fast, as only a few spaces are left

After tuning in and absorbing his fresh new content  he offered a select few the opportunity to join his doubleclickblueprint course  which ! was all about getting results. .

I am so glad to say , through following Rob Canyon I now have my own online business Awesome written articles which is  going great.
Quote from Rob

Most people believe knowledge makes you rich but that is not the case ,
“Results make you rich”.

Now for some Great news , Now you don’t  have to wait ,

I was talking to Rob last week on skype and he has decided to reopen his course once again for a select few.

So why not  let lady luck shine on you, join Robs doubleclickblueprint webinar and get your own fantastic results , but be quick as he is shutting the doors very soon.

1. Blog regularly. This is a very important factor that determines how successful you can be in driving traffic to your website through blogging. You must blog at least once per day. Serious internet marketers who earn six dollar income online blog several times per day. You must consistently add fresh, useful and captivating content on your website so that you can keep readers coming back for more. By doing this, your internet business blog will rank high on search engines, which will increase traffic to your website. The more you blog, the more you improve your visibility and ranking on search engines. You can write your blog posts in advance and save them and then just make sure that you publish them on your blog everyday.

2. Invite people with websites and blogs that are related to your online business and that have high popularity rank (PR) to exchange links with you. Links to websites with high PR on your blog will help you when Google index and rank your page. The more high PR sites that are linked to you through your blog, the more chances of you getting high PR for your website and blog.

3. Monetize your blog and increase the chances of you earning money from your blog. You can make money from your internet home business blog through affiliate programs. What you need to do is to simply place affiliate products’ names in your blog posts and hyperlink them to direct readers to the product. Every time someone clicks on the link and purchases a product, you make money! You can use your blog to advertise your own products and as well as affiliate products.

4. You must know all your keywords and use them in your blog posts. The secret to successful blogging is making sure that all your blog posts are rich with your keywords. Don’t just write blog posts without including your keywords. Keyword-rich blog posts will increase your site’s ranking for your online business niche or topic keywords.

5. Ping your blog with http://pingomatic.com/ on a regular basis to ensure that new content is indexed by the search engines.

I’m sitting in a railway station got a ticket for my destination mmm

Its 7 am Friday morning here in the UK on the 23 of October 2009 ,
I’m stood on the railway station here in Widnes “my home town” in the northwest of England.
There is nearly total darkness , all you can see are the dim lights from the oncoming train, as it’s moving slowly into the station.

homewardbound after the lee mcintyre event

This isn’t any old railway station oh-no, this railway station was made famous
by Paul Simon, the American singer song writer who wrote the famous song HOMEWORD BOUND on this very platform.

I often think how lonely he must of been, to write such a heart wrenching song here on this stone cold concrete platform with a single wooden bench.

I’m boarding the train to Manchester where I have reserved my spot for the Lee Mcintyre Workshop at the Palace hotel.

The train journey only took about thirty minutes .
after disembarking from the train, Manchester was her usual self, dark and dank but with warm drizzling rain falling from a low overhead gray sky.

But… Manchester was just about to burst into life, with all the early morning commuters heading into the City Centre.

After supping a mouthful of tea from a cardboard cup whilst sheltering in a bus shelter from the driving rain ,it was time to enter the Hotel to register for the session.

After registration , in came the new arrivals I recognized Steve Wakefield and Paul Lear two of Alex Jeffreys students, who both have left great comment’s on my blog.
As we where chatting, who should walk through the Door’s but Alex Jeffreys himself,
he had traveled up by train from South wales , he looked very tired.
He came straight over and introduced himself.
after a bit of a chat, he then went off to freshen up ,whilst we made our way into the hosting room were Lee was about to host his workshop.

Having settled down ,we were all entertained by Mark.
Mark was Lee’s warm up man, who’s job was to keep us alert so to absorb the vast amount of information Lee was about to divulge.

What a great bloke Mark is he had us all doing the Mexican wave,
so that we would be alert and ready for what he promised would be two days we wouldn’t forget. He was not wrong.

Let me ask you of what is your vision, of what a successful internet marketer should look like.

Dressed in a shirt and tie maybe .

Slick and Smooth.

Dripping in Gold bling .

Well, Lee Mcintyre is none of the above “definitely not.
He is just like the boy next door
If you where to walk into a bar, anywhere in the world, the person sat next to you supping a pint of lager could well be Lee Mcintyre.can you believe he still drive around in a Skoda “sorry Lee the secrets out”

On meeting Lee mckintyre you feel as though you have known him all your life.

Lee takes up his position in front of the eager knowledge hungry marketer’s and away we go.
Lee starts off by telling us how the workshop event very nearly never took place.

Lee hurt his back in the week leading up to the event, and was hospitalized for two whole days ,
But Lee is no quitter and he made sure that the event went ahead even though at times he was in excruciating pain.
at break times he had to lye down on his back

On both days ,the sessions where split into modules.
Lee never held back with anything.
He revealed what mistakes he has made
and gave us ten pointers on “what not to do”.

What you find with Lee Mcintyre is he is very much his own man, who likes to do thinks a little different to other internet marketers.

As the day went on Lee reminded us that to be successful you have to get out of your comfort zone.
How to get focused stay focused and set up your business FAST, in fact super fast.

When it came to take a break for lunch ,I was able to have a glance around the room and spotted some of the
rising stars of internet marketing, and even some established names.
Matt Garett , Dean Holland, Dan Briffa , John Thornhill, Dave Nicholson, Alex Jeffrey’s, who by the way is just like Lee,

Mick Fallon with Lee mcintyre

great company to be around , no airs and graces, with Alex he is just like I imagined him to be, “Normal” No bull and very like able..

Mick Fallon & Alex Jeffreys

Also there were about ten of Alexes Jeffreys students in the room, Steve Bailey , Paul Lear, David Walker, Sean Beardmore,Richard Hill ,Steve Wakefield , Keith Purkiss, Mark Terrell, Marc Milburn
also their was John Szram ,and Jit uppal
the afternoon picked up where the morning session left off , but was gathering pace as Lee hammered home how important it is to have
the perfect engine,and have a killer front end offer.

Steve Wakefield & paul Lear

It really started to gather momentum , and every session ended with a Q&A session, which seemed to bring out the best in everybody.

Day one over and off to the bar where lot’s of networking was going on , and people where stringing up JV partnerships, over a few beers.

Day two started with one of the most passionate emotional, presentations I have ever had the pleasure to see, and me being an ex trade union man I have seen a few.
Jit Uppal was the speaker , it was his first time at presenting and his delivery was faultless .

At time’s his emotions over flowed when he mentioned why he had to succeed in this business and showed us a photo of his young son ,his honest and genuine personality, radiated through the crowd.

Mick & Jit

Jit is a super affiliate and has made over fifty thousand dollars in just a few months.

He is one of Lee’s top affiliates ,hence the reason, when asked by Lee if he wanted to fly over to the Uk from Canada, Jit didn’t hesitate
.
Jit revealed how he managed to build his list up to over fifty thousand subscribers and its still growing.

After a rousing round of applause, Jit settled back into his chair whilst Lee gave us some more details “of how” from 2007 to 2009, he has built up his business
and is now earning more than a $100,000 a month.

He went on to explain how important a good solid team is. Lee even went on to reveal how he hires his staff , which was rather wacky , but like I said Lee
Mcintyre is no ordinary IM.

What I admire about Lee and his team, is the way they run a tight ship , but also like to have a lot of fun along the way.
James Teal, Lees right hand man is definitely Lee’s biggest asset, with a person like James in your team , it will always be a winning one.

We finished off day two, with a brainstorming session and the vibes in the room where at fever pitch,
some of the ideas banded about will go on to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars for the people who are willing to implement them.
Lee saved the best until last, telling us all about his future plans,he even threw in some great bonus dvd’s to all those who stayed until the end.

AND there wasn’t a pitch fest in sight.

well the course is over and ,my brain is hurting , but not in a bad way, rather in a good way. It will be a weekend I shall never forget.

I picked up some great ideas off Lee ,which by the way I will be implementing in the next couple of days,I
wrote down copious amounts of notes,
so as I can pass them on to my loyal readers ,or maybe I will send out a mini newsletter to my subscriber to my blog what do you think?.

A great weekend and I made some very good friends,

Lee is having another workshop in Newcastle in January 2010.

Don’t miss it ,
BE THERE.
