page to build a list

If you create value the rest justtakes shape

So think how powerful the blog is:

To start with your blog:

• Keep it basic• Make sure to tell your story on your blog• Say where you started• Tell people where you are• Explain where you are heading• Look at your fellow students and what they

are doing

Let me tell you the plan of attack…

But PLEASE don’t share this online !!!

I hear - I haven't read this personally myself

It’s all part of the growth

He alined himself with me -

He used that as social proof

working towards a main goal

• In 6 days he made 5 sales for hostgator – • Making him 50 bucks each sale = $300

• One sale Aweber - just $3.80 month

• So a 2 mins blog post made him $303.80

• Its not bad for 2 mins work right

And check this where did the traffic come from ?

The scary part

Private Label Rights

I failed forward

Quote: up and "RUNNING"

not up and "crawling"

Cash is flowing onlineyou just have to understand how

it flows

My readers no longer see failureas a bad thing, but it as part of

success,

I started seeing $5,000to $10,000 a month, just from

sending a couple of emails to my list

In order to maximum exposure online you will want to create

your own eBook,

Dean has finished his eBookand just 6 weeks ago he didn't have a clue of anything when

I met him,

this proves you can to do it too :)

So here’s how you create an eBook from your blog ?

Marketing makes selling superfluous

I’m going to cover traffic in the next module or even the next

two modules ?
