What’s spiking my traffic Yesterday and Today!

In dozens of surveys conducted over the past few years, the core problem every online store owner has…

#1 problem is figuring out traffic in some way, shape, or form.

What if there was a simple solution that was based on what Google has done to change the way they provide search results?

There is.

I’ve been beta-testing this new software for article submission for the past two weeks. Two weeks of results is too small of a time to measure with confidence. My initial results are fantastic!

What I have seen is new traffic and more sales. Yesterday my tapestry store took in my first $1k+ order since Christmas.

This is anecdotal data. Bigger amounts of time will be required for me to make the formal case-study that I’m likely to start presenting at Live Seminars.

Let’s talk about traffic to Your Store…

Here’s what I know to be real. I started using Ross Goldberg’s new software two weeks ago and I’m getting more traffic and seeing more sales. Will this sustain? I sure hope so!

In less than 2-weeks I’ve already made dozens of times what Ross is asking for this software… $37.

You have to try this to believe it.

I’m sure you’ve heard it all before, but this one is 100% true to my tests so far.

Think Like An eCommerce Marketer

Remember when Dr. Pepper TV commercials starred Dr. Pepper Models singing and dancing about what it feels like to “be a Pepper.”

Well, being my own boss makes ME feel all peppery…

I think like a marketer and I’m proud.
I used to feel alone in a crowd.
Now if you look around these days…

There seems to be an “I’m a marketer” craze!

Oh… I’m a marketer, He’s a marketer, She’s a marketer…

We’re all marketers.

Wouldn’t you like to be a marketer too!

Hear me sing that => http://AWAKENDmarketing.COM

What’s the “How to Think Like an eCommerce Marketer” teleseminar really all about? In a word, magic. Marketers have the ability to make something out of nothing. How you use your magical skills is really up to you.

WARNING: This call is only for Awakened Marketers.

Have you noticed that any marketer pushing harder than you is an A$$HOLE while any marketer not making as much money as you is an idiot? George Carlin explained this phenomeon in terms of driving… “Ever notice how on the freeway anybody driving faster than you is an a**hole and EVERYBODY going slower is an idiot?!”

The key is to drive at the speed you feel most comfortable…

How is this a catalyst to your eCommerce store?

Have you ever noticed the difference in MINDSET between a successful eCommerce Marketer versus most Internet Marketers? Most people who call themselves “Internet Marketers” appear to me as rushing from marketing event to event. Sure they make brief spurts of profitability, but what they do one day often actually undermines their future profits!

What works for me is going slowly, making incremental improvements that build on each other to create a long-term, sustainable business.

What Is StomperNet?

I just got an email from Brad Fallon over at StomperNet. I thought the email was so good I’m just posting it to you.

Here it is:

I had a GREAT call with the Faculty last night, answering
questions we had gotten from you and your colleagues.

It occurred to me – based on a number of the questions
you sent us about “what StomperNet is” – that should
write to you and just net it all out for you.

And that’s hard, because StomperNet is BIG.

We know that, and sometimes even WE have a hard time
getting our arms around it.

So today, I’d like to take a moment to simplify.

First and foremost, StomperNet is a TRAINING organization
- we will train you in every facet you need to be successful
online.

Our Library has over 1400 individual pieces of training -
we’re pretty sure it’s the largest Internet Marketing library around.

But it’s not just what we teach – it’s HOW we train that sets us apart.

Frankly, it’s pretty straightforward: some of our most
successful customers are the ones that just did EXACTLY
what we TRAINED them to: No fancy jiu-jitsu, just get the
basics right, ESPECIALLY the customers that were just
starting out.

Our training cuts through all the clutter out there to ensure
that the shortest distance between you and success is through
StomperNet.

But we support all that training with things that frankly, no other
organization on the planet can duplicate – all geared
around making sure that ALL your questions get answered and
QUICKLY:

We strongly believe that STRATEGY is critical to online success:
the proper business model, the most profitable niche, and ensuring
that you understand which are your *money* keywords.

Our 21 FACULTY members build all the cutting edge
training content, and answer your questions via Faculty
Office Hours, patrolling the forums, or backed into a corner
at a LIVE event.

Our state-of-the-art PORTAL delivers the over 1400
individual training pieces, plus 200,000 forum posts that
probably have 95% of your questions already answered (and
are well-organized and easy to find).

And if after that you STILL have questions, we have the
COMMUNITY: other Members and Moderators gladly helping
you out in the portal.

Sometimes you might need more strategic guidance – that’s
where our Professional COACHING comes in – they can
help you either in a group setting via our Masterminds, or
one-on-one if you prefer.

Our EVENTS are designed to support you face to face – we
have LIVE events several times a year for hands-on in-person
training. And we’ve even announced the StomperNet World
Tour – 18 cities next year – and StomperLocal to bring
StomperNet to the rest of the world.

And that’s what StomperNet WAS…for 3 years. And that was
enough for many of our members to build great businesses
for themselves and their families.

But it wasn’t enough for us.

In order for us to stay out front as the leading online training
company, we took a long look at how we could deliver MORE.

And we came to the conclusion that the one thing our members
were missing from us is TOOLS.

So we went and got some.

TEN of them…

…we call them StomperTools.

We hand-picked the Software and tools we considered to be
MUST HAVES for online success and to create competitive
advantage for your business — all INCLUDED in StomperNet
Membership:

• Market Samurai – best-in-class Market and Keyword Research tool
• Traffic Geyser – automated video submission tool to Social Media sites
• StomperStorm – incredibly easy to use split testing and Taguchi testing tool
• StomperCommerce - easy-to-use, SEO friendly shopping cart
• SEOQast - semi-automated massive ranking-oriented syndication tool
• ArticleQast – Send your articles directly to a network of over
  17,000 subscribing sites with YOUR links and link text defined
• StomperQast - Add text messaging to your integrated marketing efforts with this platform that includes text messaging, email, and
  social media
• CommuniQast - Telephone platform for EACH member (not VOIP) – Personal 800 number for inbound, plus conferencing, and
  21 other features
• ReviewQast – Ethical reviews of your products or service from 3rd
  party that get posted to Google Local or other review sites.
• StomperSocial – Like Tweetdeck on Steroids + Twitter Twenius training program

These tools would cost you well over $500 per month if you got
them separately, and that doesn’t count over $1,000 in setup
charges and fees.

So, there it is.

As you can see, StomperNet wants to give you all you need to
succeed with your online business.

No matter what level you’re at, between our tools, training,
faculty, events, and community – this is the greatest Internet
Marketing Success System there is.

Don’t ask us – ask the countless members whose lives have been
changed for the better over the last 3 years.

We invest a lot in our customers’ success.

Very soon, you’ll have your chance to join us and change your future.

And we’ll be offering ALL of this for a price that ANYONE can
afford – you can’t get HALF of what we have anywhere else for
TEN TIMES the price.

$197 per month.

That’s StomperNet – as simple as I can make it.

Are you serious about online success?

If so, we think your next decision is pretty easy.

So we’ll see you on the inside, where we’re ALL serious
about it.

Best regards,

Brad Fallon
CEO
StomperNet

StomperNet opens up again tomorrow.

StomperNet is the best for good reason, and has my highest endorsement.

StomperNet 9/09/09 Launch Tomorrow!

Yes, it is almost here and I am super excited! No matter what type of online thing you do, StomperNet can and will help you do it better. The faculty has been expanded, the structure has been changed, and the resources that have been put together are incredible.

I’m not prone to exaggeration or hype marketing, I am truly excited about what has been put together. Business owners of all types and levels are going to benefit from these changes and that brings a smile to my face.

I’ve always enjoyed teaching – it’s a selfish thing – I like helping people succeed, it makes me feel good. I never recommend anything I don’t personally believe in. Those that already know me know that to be true. It’s all about Good Energy!

Check out the launch here: StomperNet 999.

There’s Not Enough Time In The Day

Yep, it’s happened to all of us. You get up bright and early and start working away and before you know it it’s 10pm and you still have half your To Do list left.

“How did that happen? There’s not enough time in the day!”

Owning and running your own business can be a time consuming endeavor, especially during start-up or when you’re beginning a new project or expansion. It can get very stressful, I’ve been there. It can easily swallow up all your time and leave you feeling like you’re never going to get ahead.

Here’s the truth, you are never going to have nothing to do. There will always be more promotion you can do, more products to add, little problems popping up here and there, etc. That’s how it is with business – any business. Unless you hire someone to take over all the management while you sit back in your big, comfy CEO chair you’re going to be busy.

And that’s fine. Maybe someday you will hire someone to take over so you can just chill. But until you get to that point you have to pace yourself so you don’t get overwhelmed and lose control.

Before I start talking about actually managing your time, I want you to accept something – your To Do list will never be empty. As soon as you accept that you will feel less stressed and more in control. Business is like that, there is always something that needs attention. If you ever find yourself with nothing to do, you’re not doing something you should.

So how do you keep from getting overwhelmed when you’re pouring your heart, soul, and time into something that will never be finished? Police yourself.

Everyone does this differently. Some people create very strict time tables for themselves; blocking out time to work on one project and when that time is up they move into the next time block and the next project. Some people set goals; once one goal is reached they move onto the next. Some break up the days of the week; Monday is for blogging, Tuesday is for conversion work, Wednesday is for Paid Ads, and so forth. You’ll want to experiment to see what works best for you personally.

Here’s what I do:

I don’t work well under strict structure, I’m much more of a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal. So I set one or two main goals for each day and once they are reached I work on smaller stuff. I always have several projects going on at once, the goals I set are not “Complete Project #1 then work on newsletters and articles”, I don’t make the project my goal – I make part of the project my goal.

For example, I am writing a How To eCommerce Book. If I made my goal the book, I wouldn’t be able to work on anything else for weeks. So instead I make one or two chapters my goal and then work on other aspects of my business. Then the next day my goal will be two more chapters.

Pay attention to how you work. You can try keeping a daily journal detailing time spent and work completed. That may help you determine how you work best. Don’t try to force yourself into a structure that is too stringent for you, you’ll end up getting frustrated which leads to lower productivity.

Think about breaks during the day too. Working from sun up to sun down might sound like it’ll help you get a ton accomplished but very few people can actually stay focused for that long. That’s not how we’re wired. I like to take a walk in the afternoon – get outside, away from the computer, just for a little while. Breaks are refreshing and will help you maintain a solid level of productivity throughout the day.

There will be days when you don’t reach your goals. Don’t freak out, it happens to the best of us. The reasons for it are as varied as our personalities and lives. Don’t let the failure to meet a goal get you down, just get up the next day, readjust your plans if you need to, and get it done. It’s not the end of the world and you CAN do it.

The Work At Home Diet

This isn’t a recipe, nor is it specifically eCommerce related. This is personal advice from one work at homer to another… take advantage of your situation and take care of yourself.

You no longer have that half hour commute in the morning – sleep longer or do some exercising. Don’t wake up, head straight for your email, then park yourself for the rest of the day. That’s not good for you. Make yourself a healthy breakfast AND lunch. You have access to your kitchen now, no need for a daily peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I know a lot of people who work from home and many of them have the same habits as they did while working at an office. Part of the joy of working from your home is being able to do things you couldn’t when you were on someone else’s time schedule. It’s very easy to get wrapped up in your business (because it is YOUR business) and it can easily take over your life in ways most regular jobs won’t.

Don’t let it.

I’m not suggesting your shirk your responsibilities or take a cavalier attitude toward your business, far from it, I work everyday and not just for a couple of hours. I know what it’s like to be consumed by it, when I first started I would spend as much time in front of the computer as my poor, tired eyes would allow. I didn’t even like to stop to eat, I would make a quick sandwich or microwave meal and eat while I worked.

That is not healthy.

Even if you can’t stand to be away while your’e eating, at least take the time to make something good for yourself. Of course there are still days when I get lost in what I’m doing or I’m busy with a project and a hurried meal while working is the best option, but that is rare. If you’re constantly tied to your computer, your home business won’t be fun and rewarding as it should be. And if you let it, it will take over.

Enjoy the benefits of working for yourself otherwise running your home business will be just as bad as working for someone else. Own your business, don’t let it own you.
