			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="left"><strong>Wow!</strong></div>
<div align="left"></div>
<div align="left">I am TOTALLY Blown Away by the amount of<br />
replies I received to my last email.</div>
<div align="left">If you missed it, I asked my<br />
subscribers to reply with the answer<br />
to the following question:</p>
<p><strong> &#8220;What is the Single Most Important<br />
Question YOU have about creating<br />
Your own Information Products?</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>Also, out of all the replies I was to<br />
randomly select one to win 2 tickets<br />
to each of my upcoming e-events this<br />
month and in January (value $2988).</p>
<p>I ll get to the winner in just a second<br />
but before that, let me tell you one<br />
thing&#8230;</p>
<p>The results of this little research<br />
revealed that over 98% of you got it all<br />
wrong!</p>
<p>You got it ALL WRONG about Ebooks<br />
You got it ALL WRONG about Resell Rights<br />
You got it ALL WRONG about Info Products</p>
<p>Here is the million dollar lesson hiding<br />
in this email!<br />
<strong><br />
**STOP treating EBOOKS and other<br />
Information Products like COMMODITY ITEMS!</strong></p>
<p>Each information product such an ebook,<br />
audio product, video course, etc, MUST<br />
be created for a SPECIFIC reason and it<br />
should always be a piece of a BIGGER<br />
puzzle.</p>
<p>You really DONT want to make your money<br />
by exchanging an ebook for little bit of<br />
cash.</p>
<p>SERIOUSLY</p>
<p>There is a lot more involved than that<br />
and 98% of people don&#8217;t realize it and<br />
FAIL miserably.</p>
<p>Each info product, should be a link<br />
to a CHAIN of actions, following up<br />
from the previous action and leading<br />
up to the next one.</p>
<p>and I am talking about upsells, downsells<br />
cross-sells.</p>
<p>For example, you sell an ebook about<br />
dog training on eBay and you make $1</p>
<p>Congrats!</p>
<p>You gotta sell 1000 of them to make<br />
$1,000.</p>
<p>However, when you carefully select<br />
your 1 dollar ebook as a prequel to<br />
a $97 video dog training course,</p>
<p>and 5% of your $1 customers take you up<br />
on that offer, you only need<br />
to sell about 200 of the 1 buck<br />
ebooks to make your thousand dollars.</p>
<p>Selling 200 ebooks on ebay is a<br />
heck of a LOT easier than selling 1000.</p>
<p>Even better, if your $97 video training<br />
course is carefully developed as a prequel<br />
to a $497 package, and 20% of your<br />
$97 customers take you up on that,<br />
you make another 2 sales for a total<br />
of $1000.</p>
<p>Making a grand total of $2200 with the<br />
same 200 dollar ebooks.</p>
<p>This alone can be the thin line separating<br />
success and failure for YOUR Business.</p>
<p>Dont take this lightly!</p>
<p>Ok, back to our Lucky Winner&#8230;</p>
<p>and the lucky one to get 2 tickets<br />
for each of my 2 e-events (value: $2988)<br />
is&#8230;</p>
<p>drum roll please..</p>
<p>the winner is:</p>
<p>Candace Sinclair</p>
<p>Congrats Candance!</p>
<p>I ll contact you by email separately<br />
with the info about your prize.</p>
<p>Till Next time<br />
Partner to YOUR Success,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is it actually possible to actually make money with PPC?</p>
<p>Maybe you are one of the people that got <strong>burned</strong><br />
with PPC and Adwords and you &#8220;gambled away&#8221; your<br />
mortgage money <strong>&#8220;betting&#8221; on keywords</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>Maybe you are one of the people that did not get<br />
burned, neither made any money. Just plain ol&#8217;<br />
<strong>wasting precious time</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>You are not alone. The internet is full of horror<br />
stories about people FAILING with Adwords.</p>
<p>There is also a smaller percentage of people showing<br />
<strong>PROOF</strong> where they make thousands of dollars every<br />
week with it.</p>
<p>Question is, <strong>Who do you want to be?</strong></p>
<p>In real world more than 90% of the people live<br />
paycheck to paycheck, struggling to get along.</p>
<p>But <strong>you chose</strong> not to be one of those. You want to<br />
be the small percentage that makes the difference.</p>
<p>That is why you are reading my message right now&#8230;</p>
<p>So I will assume that you want to be part of the<br />
smaller percentage that makes the money without excuses.</p>
<p>In December 2006, <strong>I decided to do a TEST.</strong></p>
<p>I decided to enter a market I <strong>never had experience</strong> with<br />
I decided I was <strong>not</strong> going to <strong>use my real name</strong><br />
and I decided I was going to <strong>make 10K a month</strong> in 3<br />
months in this market alone.</p>
<p>My Plan was to do it with Google Adwords alone.</p>
<p>Beginning december I started working on my plan.</p>
<p>I did my research<br />
I found an affiliate product<br />
I created my adwords campaigns<br />
and begun getting traffic&#8230;<br />
Fast forward 3 months later&#8230;<br />
(DEC 06, JAN 07, FEB 07)</p>
<p><strong>Here are my results</strong>:<br />
(Clicking on the images will open full graph in new window)</p>
<p><strong>2006</strong>. Starting on the 47th week of 06 (Beginning December)<br />
<a href="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/2006.gif" target="_blank"><img id="image71" style="width: 260px; height: 182px" height="182" alt="2006 Sales Graph Partial" src="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/2006_partial.gif" width="260" /></a><br />
The numbers accross the bottom indicate the number of the week in the year<br />
the numbers in the boxes indicate sales value for that week.<br />
As you can see above, by the last week of Dec, I made <strong>$2031</strong> in a single<br />
week.  (The very last week was a 1 day week in December and that is why it<br />
only shows $170)</p>
<p>Beginning <strong>2007</strong>. The graph shows up to March 3rd<br />
<a href="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/2007.gif" target="_blank"><img id="image72" style="width: 271px; height: 242px" height="242" alt="2007 Sales Graph Partial" src="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/2007_partial.gif" width="271" /></a><br />
As you can see from this graph, by the last week of the testing<br />
period I manage to make more than my goal of $10,000 in a single month.<br />
<strong>$11,813</strong> to be exact.</p>
<p>Considering my Adwords cost was only 35% of that,  65% of<br />
that amount is pure profit.</p>
<p>In addition to that, I had a few other income streams tied into<br />
the test which made an <strong>extra $2000</strong> that doesnt show in my<br />
Clickbank stats above.</p>
<p>(The graphs are created with <a title="CB Accountant, Clickbank" href="http://www.cbaccountant.com/swres/bloober.html" target="_blank">CBAccountant</a>. An excellent tool<br />
that will download and analyze the data from ALL my<br />
clickbank accounts automatically. It literally saved me<br />
hours every day.)</p>
<p>Considering that<br />
I had NO experience in that market<br />
I had no JV partners<br />
I was a total unknown<br />
I started from zero</p>
<p><strong>My success and system are replicable.</strong></p>
<p>I dont care if you <strong>never</strong> used PPC before<br />
I dont care if you got burned and lost your mortgage money</p>
<p>You are probably wondering why I used the word <strong>&#8220;betting&#8221;<br />
</strong>instead of <strong>&#8220;bidding&#8221;</strong> on keywords at the beginning of this letter.</p>
<p>Because if you bid on keywords, you will make money<br />
if you bet on keywords, you are most likely to lose</p>
<p>What do you want to do?</p>
<p><strong>Bid or Bet??</strong> You decide&#8230;</p>
<p>Biding requires some research, work and measures.<br />
Betting doesnt require anything. Just head on to google&#8217;s<br />
website and bet away money.<br />
<strong>Coming up on wendnesday:<br />
</strong>&#8220;The 3 most basic elements to making money&#8221;<br />
-Without one of these 3 elements, you will not make a penny&#8221;</p>
<p>Please <strong>post your Comments</strong> below.</p>
<p>I will randomly choose a person that comments on any<br />
article I post from today until Sunday March 25, and<br />
award him/her with a <strong>surprise gift.</strong></p>
<p>Till Next time,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WOW!</p>
<p>I had to share this&#8230;<br />
I was going through the server stats of some of my websites and<br />
I found something Really Interesting. Firefox IS becoming much<br />
more popular I anticipated and it is happening fast!</p>
<p>Take a look at this screenshot from Oct 2005: (this site is in the internet<br />
marketing niche but I will not disclose the domain name for obvious reasons)</p>
<p>As you can see from the picture below, 12.7% of the visitors to this<br />
site use Firefox Browser. (Not bad huh?) [pictures are clickable]</p>
<p><a target="_blank" title="browser_usege_proof1_2005.gif" href="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof1_2005.gif"><img width="415" height="148" id="image48" alt="browser_usege_proof1_2005.gif" src="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof1_2005.gif" /></a></p>
<p>Now, moving on to Oct 2006 for the SAME website. Take a look at<br />
the new numbers below. Firefox is up to 22.4% of the website&#8217;s traffic.<br />
Quite a gain isnt it?<br />
That means for every 1000 people that go to your site 224 people<br />
use firefox. If your site converts at a moderate 2.5% for a $50 product<br />
that is $280 generated from firefox users.</p>
<p><a title="browser_usege_proof1.gif" target="_blank" href="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof1.gif"><img width="418" height="144" id="image45" alt="browser_usege_proof1.gif" src="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof1.gif" /></a></p>
<p>I have been looking into many internet marketing websites (including<br />
some Very Well Known marketers&#8217; sites (below 10K alexa rank) that<br />
break in firefox, to the point that the site is unusable.Using the same<br />
example above, these sites lose $280 for every 1000 people that go<br />
through that site. (And trust me, these sites generate many thousands<br />
of visitors every single day)</p>
<p>Now lets look at some other examples (Non internet marketing related)<br />
I ve setup simple site for testing in a niche that has nothing to do with<br />
internet marketing and drove some PPC traffic to them for 2-3 days.</p>
<p>Here are the numbers from the 2nd site:</p>
<p>firefox 9.2%. not bad for non internet savvy people. they go with<br />
their &#8220;windows browser&#8221; mosltly. But still, the number is signifigant<br />
and can play a major role to your income. (say you make $10000 a<br />
month, you can lose $920 every month if your site breaks in FX)</p>
<p><a title="browser_usege_proof2.gif" target="_blank" href="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof2.gif"><img width="421" height="113" id="image46" alt="browser_usege_proof2.gif" src="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof2.gif" /></a></p>
<p>This gets quite interesting here with this other site. I dont even<br />
know if I can trust these results yet,  but I am showing you here<br />
anyways.</p>
<p>This site has 46.8% Firefox users???? (again, non internet marketing)</p>
<p><a title="browser_usege_proof3.gif" target="_blank" href="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof3.gif"><img width="439" height="128" id="image47" alt="browser_usege_proof3.gif" src="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof3.gif" /></a><a title="browser_usege_proof3.gif" target="_blank" href="http://socratesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/browser_usege_proof3.gif"><br />
</a><br />
What I am trying to show here, is an increasing market gain for the<br />
Firefox Browser after the push the get by Google<br />
Question is&#8230;</p>
<p>Is YOUR website working correctly in Firefox? Make sure to check<br />
it out ASAP.</p>
<p><!--adsense#firefox2--></p>
<p><strong>What do you think about this experiment?</strong> Please comment below<br />
(Also, If you know someone&#8217;s site that breaks in firefox, please<br />
<strong>post a comment below </strong>to help each other fix their sites). If you<br />
can&#8217;t check your site yourself, you can also post below to ask<br />
for someother member to check it for you</p>
