<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I just got an email from Brad Fallon over at StomperNet. I thought the email was so good I&#8217;m just posting it to you.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Here it is:<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span>I had a GREAT call with the Faculty last night, answering<br />
questions we had gotten from you and your colleagues.</span></span></p>
<p>It occurred to me &#8211; based on a number of the questions<br />
you sent us about &#8220;what StomperNet is&#8221; &#8211; that should<br />
write to you and just net it all out for you.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s hard, because StomperNet is BIG.</p>
<p>We know that, and sometimes even WE have a hard time<br />
getting our arms around it.</p>
<p>So today, I&#8217;d like to take a moment to simplify.</p>
<p>First and foremost, StomperNet is a TRAINING organization<br />
- we will train you in every facet you need to be successful<br />
online.</p>
<p>Our Library has over 1400 individual pieces of training -<br />
we&#8217;re pretty sure it&#8217;s the largest Internet Marketing library around.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s not just what we teach &#8211; it&#8217;s HOW we train that sets us apart.</p>
<p>Frankly, it&#8217;s pretty straightforward: some of our most<br />
successful customers are the ones that just did EXACTLY<br />
what we TRAINED them to: No fancy jiu-jitsu, just get the<br />
basics right, ESPECIALLY the customers that were just<br />
starting out.</p>
<p>Our training cuts through all the clutter out there to ensure<br />
that the shortest distance between you and success is through<br />
StomperNet.</p>
<p>But we support all that training with things that frankly, <strong>no other<br />
organization on the planet can duplicate</strong> &#8211; all geared<br />
around making sure that ALL your questions get answered and<br />
QUICKLY:</p>
<p>We strongly believe that <strong>STRATEGY</strong> is critical to online success:<br />
the proper business model, the most profitable niche, and ensuring<br />
that you understand which are your *money* keywords.</p>
<p>Our 21 <strong>FACULTY </strong>members build all the cutting edge<br />
training content, and answer your questions via Faculty<br />
Office Hours, patrolling the forums, or backed into a corner<br />
at a LIVE event.</p>
<p>Our state-of-the-art <strong>PORTAL</strong> delivers the over 1400<br />
individual training pieces, plus 200,000 forum posts that<br />
probably have 95% of your questions already answered (and<br />
are well-organized and easy to find).</p>
<p>And if after that you STILL have questions, we have the<br />
<strong>COMMUNITY</strong>:  other Members and Moderators gladly helping<br />
you out in the portal.</p>
<p>Sometimes you might need more strategic guidance &#8211; that&#8217;s<br />
where our Professional <strong>COACHING</strong> comes in &#8211; they can<br />
help you either in a group setting via our Masterminds, or<br />
one-on-one if you prefer.</p>
<p>Our <strong>EVENTS</strong> are designed to support you face to face &#8211; we<br />
have LIVE events several times a year for hands-on in-person<br />
training. And we&#8217;ve even announced the StomperNet World<br />
Tour &#8211; 18 cities next year &#8211; and StomperLocal to bring<br />
StomperNet to the rest of the world.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s what StomperNet WAS&#8230;for 3 years. And that was<br />
enough for many of our members to build great businesses<br />
for themselves and their families.</p>
<p>But it wasn&#8217;t enough for us.</p>
<p>In order for us to stay out front as the leading online training<br />
company, we took a long look at how we could deliver MORE.</p>
<p>And we came to the conclusion that the one thing our members<br />
were missing from us is <strong>TOOLS</strong>.</p>
<p>So we went and got some.</p>
<p>TEN of them&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;we call them <strong>StomperTools</strong>.</p>
<p>We hand-picked the Software and tools we considered to be<br />
MUST HAVES for online success and to create competitive<br />
advantage for your business â€&#8221; all INCLUDED in StomperNet<br />
Membership:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Market Samurai</strong> &#8211; best-in-class Market and Keyword Research tool</li>
<li><strong>Traffic Geyser</strong> &#8211; automated video submission tool to Social Media sites</li>
<li><strong>StomperStorm</strong> &#8211; incredibly easy to use split testing and Taguchi testing tool</li>
<li><strong>StomperCommerce </strong>- easy-to-use, SEO friendly shopping cart</li>
<li><strong>SEOQast </strong>- semi-automated massive ranking-oriented syndication tool</li>
<li><strong>ArticleQast</strong> &#8211; Send your articles directly to a network of over<br />
17,000 subscribing sites with YOUR links and link text defined</li>
<li><strong>StomperQast </strong>- Add text messaging to your integrated marketing efforts with this platform that includes text messaging, email, and<br />
social media</li>
<li><strong>CommuniQast </strong>- Telephone platform for EACH member (not VOIP) &#8211; Personal 800 number for inbound, plus conferencing, and<br />
21 other features</li>
<li><strong>ReviewQast</strong> &#8211; Ethical reviews of your products or service from 3rd<br />
party that get posted to Google Local or other review sites.</li>
<li><strong>StomperSocial</strong> &#8211; Like Tweetdeck on Steroids + Twitter Twenius training program</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
These tools would cost you well over $500 per month if you got<br />
them separately, and that doesn&#8217;t count over $1,000 in setup<br />
charges and fees.</span></p>
<p>So, there it is.</p>
<p>As you can see, StomperNet wants to give you all you need to<br />
succeed with your online business.</p>
<p>No matter what level you&#8217;re at, between our tools, training,<br />
faculty, events, and community &#8211; this is the greatest Internet<br />
Marketing Success System there is.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t ask us &#8211; ask the countless members whose lives have been<br />
changed for the better over the last 3 years.</p>
<p>We invest a lot in our customers&#8217; success.</p>
<p>Very soon, you&#8217;ll have your chance to join us and change your future.</p>
<p>And we&#8217;ll be offering ALL of this for a price that ANYONE can<br />
afford &#8211; you can&#8217;t get HALF of what we have anywhere else for<br />
TEN TIMES the price.</p>
<p>$197 per month.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s StomperNet &#8211; as simple as I can make it.</p>
<p>Are you serious about online success?</p>
<p>If so, we think your next decision is pretty easy.</p>
<p>So we&#8217;ll see you on the inside, where we&#8217;re ALL serious<br />
about it.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p>“Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket!”</p>
<p>This is          more of a long term success key than anything else, but it is very          important. I would rather          have 5 niche businesses that make me $1,000 each every month than one          business that makes me $5,000 every month. Why?<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-50" title="Diversify Your Business" src="http://www.audreykerwoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/diversifypost.jpg" alt="Diversify Your Business" width="305" height="300" /></p>
<p>Consider this:           It’s easier, and for some people more realistic, to create a business          that <em>only</em> makes $1,000 a month.  I mean, if you sell 20 things through one store          each month that make you $50.00 profit – you’re there! That’s less than          one sale per day. If we sell one item every other day that makes us a          profit of $60.00, how much time are we spending filling orders with our          drop shippers? 10 minutes every other day?</p>
<p>It’s simply easier to create little businesses that generate modest          profits than it is to create a mega-monster business that you and your          family will live and / or starve by. Think about it!  You only need to do          this one business at a time.</p>
<p>The real          genius of this business model is that you will always have one of your          businesses generating money in the marketplace.  Yeah, maybe one of them          takes a downturn and your sales get cut to shreds. So what?! It          happens, even to the masters! They simply get          back up after the impact and create another revenue stream.  If you have 4          other little business plugging along, you’re less likely to get hurt by          a server outage, a market correction, a drop shipper flub, a merchant          account error or any one of a hundred things that could crop up.</p>
<p><strong>Diversify!</strong></p>
<p>I own and operate 4 online stores. They have their slow and busy months. Sometimes they coincide, but most of the time one or two of the stores are in their &#8220;busy season&#8221; while the others are just bringing in regular sales. This way I&#8217;m making consistent profit all year long and I don&#8217;t have to worry as much about a market change because the chances that all four of my markets will change at the same time are extremely low.</p>
<p>Diversification is smart for business and your personal mental state.</p>
