I have a product review for you for what I think is one of the best traffic resource ebooks I have ever read. It’s the Traffic Manifesto by Ross Goldberg.
I grabbed this ebook a few months ago and played around with a few of Ross’s strategies in this ebook. The results were simply amazing to me. I’ll show you what I mean in a moment.
Ross just finished updating this unbelievable ebook and is re-releasing it…and at a much lower price. Ross believes in helping as many people as he can, so he made this as affordable as ebook that pale in comparison. Take a look at the table of contents:

Ross leaves no stone unturned. This is one of those ebooks that I have printed and I leave on my desk and refer to it whenever I need to. This is no 25 page $7 useless report. This is a beefy 100+ pages of solid and tested information.

Now, a little more on those results I was telling you about. Take a look at this screen capture of my web stats for my “You Cant Block This” software:

I launched in early June with no partners. You can see the amount of unique hits I was able to generate almost immediatley. July, same thing. Now, in August, I still generated a lot of traffic using a couple of Ross’s methods, but I also had partners launch, so that’s the reason for the spike.
September was much the same thing - over 2,000 unique visitors. And you’ll see even today, October 1st I had over 270 uniques by 6 PM (when the screen cap was taken).
Make no mistake - there’s no “magic pill” here. There was work involved here (shudder). But it makes doing the work so much easier when you have a guide to help you out.
Ok, go grab Ross’s Traffic Manifesto before he decides to go back to his $97 price point. Put a few of his techniques to work for you and you may start seeing results too.

================================
How many old domains do YOU have sitting around doing nothing? Do you know how much they’re worth? Did you know you can make money with these domains? You want to know how, don’t you?
http://www.mroverdeliver.com/domains
================================
Even if you are new to the Internet Marketing scene, you’ve probably already seen many ads, sales pages and emails promoting ways to become filthy rich in no time, with little or no work and no brains. Let me tell you, if that were true, nobody would be working anymore. We’d all be spending money online, buying from each other. For some of us, the spending part is too true (it was for me for quite some time)! The problem is that these same folks aren’t making any money at all (ALSO true for me for quite some time…).
Aside from the various on line scams, “phishing” scams to steal your identity and “spoof” emails from payment processors, there’s a group of opportunists that want your money for nothing - nothing actionable, that is. They’re the ones that are so good at telling you what you want to hear, and try to tell you what to do to make big bucks fast and easy (yeah, right!). The problem is, they don’t tell you HOW to do this. The system, method, technique or software that you’re encouraged to buy is missing a key element - implementation, or how to make it work.
In some cases, some ideas can actually worked well… for a while. Eventually they become outdated, diluted or even illegal. Then these sharks sell it to the unsuspecting “new kid on the block” marketers just coming on line, and who may be desparate to make money. By the time the poor kid figures out that this bright, shiny thing is useless, the desire to get a refund has withered away. That’s what these predators count on - lack of follow through on the part of the buyer.
Since most people are not cut out to be self-employed go-getters, a promise of easy riches with no effort or sacrifice gets these “underachievers” to pay for products and services that won’t work. The risk is minimal. A simple disclaimer about income promises, work involved and ability are glossed over by the greedy and protect the scammer from being shut down for overpromising.
The problem for the sincere, hardworking types who are looking for (and offering) genuine help and useful products and services is that many of the good ones can appear to be the same as the bad ones. In fact, most, if not all, of the tactics and strategies used by the crooks are used by the good guys. The difference is accountability. Building trust. Practically every good idea, product and service is backed up by customer service, “no hassle” money back guarantees and genuine positive feedback from buyers who are reachable. A good and solid reputation is worth its weight in gold.
“Investigate before you invest” is sound advice when you’re thinking about putting your money in an investment product. It’s the same when you’re deciding about on line “How To…” products, software and help building your business. The first rule of thumb for spending money on a given tool is, “When in doubt, don’t!” Another rule is, if you can’t afford it, or it keeps you from paying the bills, DON’T buy it! Until you’ve developed your intuition and some knowledge about good business practices, ask around. Go to discussion forums, interest groups and the like and post questions about what you’re investigating. Make sure you follow the rules of the group or forum.
Research and caution are the two things you’ll need to protect yourself from excess credit card debt and nothing to show for it. Also, keep in mind those clever manipulators scam even seasoned business owners. Being experienced in protecting themselves, they get their refund or “chargeback” their credit card account. Then they spread the word to their colleagues that “So and So” is a so-and-so. By keeping your own eyes open and finding the places where the serious-minded businesspeople meet and chat, you’ll be able to share in the same warnings that the pros give to each other.
To Your Success,

Many of today’s successful Internet Marketers started out by putting their hobby on the World Wide Web. It was fun, and there was no real desire to turn a profit. Along the way, something clicked, and these hobbyists became convinced that money could be made from their efforts.
In fact, this is exactly how I got started. I was absolutely convinced I could make money on line. Most, however, do not survive the transition. Their Web presence remains, but the income goals they set were abandoned. It’s tough to make a buck online without a plan.
Business planning itself is a whole other article, but before you can even begin to create a plan, you need to answer an important question: Why? Why would you want to take what you love and turn it into an enterprise, devoted to earning a profit? That’s the reality of business. Businesses are created to earn a profit.
But I absolutely believe that you need an internal “why” as well. One that drives your business. The reason why you keep going every day. Money is great, but what’s the point of making money if you make it for unknown - or worse - the wrong reason.
There is a steep “learning curve” when it comes to Internet Marketing. Take my word for it. There are areas of knowledge you must have that have no equivalent in offline businesses.
Becoming skilled in this method of doing business means committing yourself to constant learning and adjustment. “Information overload” will become a part of your life, every day. You will have to make smart decisions every day.
You will be learning how to make a profit online. Remember, what you will be learning will, most likely, have little or nothing to do with your passion. And the potential downfall is you could end up turning your passion into a drudgery.
There are also other considerations to making your passion your business. Hobbyists cannot deduct business losses from their income taxes in the USA and many other countries. Business owners can. Do not make the mistake of thinking that your hobby can help you at tax time, when the tax laws say otherwise.
If you’re looking for a tax break and are willing to invest the time and energy to turn your online hobby into a business, you could reap benefits that mere hobbyists cannot.
Turning your passion into a business will also benefit you in terms of tax deductions. You are entitled to so many more as a business. Consult a tax attorney for guidance. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of tax audits!
Having a grand passion can also be a plus when building a business online. There will be disappointments, challenges, obstacles and temporary failures along the way. Just as there are in other aspects of life.
If you’ve picked a business to do online that doesn’t really grab you, you might very well quit when the going gets tough. You need to have the motivation and long term view of a worthwhile dream or vision that will carry you over the bumps along the road to success and personal satisfaction.
For many people, a modified approach is best. You keep your main passion private, but use the Internet to build a related business that reaches like-minded people with money to spend. This is what “niche marketing” is based on.
You may love elk hunting in a certain spot in Maine, but your hunting site will offer information on “hot” hunting spots around the world (hunting for elk or other game), along with specialized equipment and information products aimed at this specialized market.
Another marketer may offer online clients specialized Web site designs for buying and selling their niche products, along with Web hosting and other services. This is also known as “selling the picks and shovels to the prospectors”.
Whichever path you choose, know why you are choosing it. If all you want to do is make money with your passion, get a job in a related business. It takes a special commitment and temperament to be an online entrepreneur.
Only you can decide if you have what it takes. If you have the patience, will power and persistence to follow such a path and not quit, you may be cut out for making your passion your business.
If you haven’t heard yet… James Grandstaff has released “Part 2″ of his “Downline Secrets.”
Before I get to my review, I thought I should play a little catch-up in case you have no clue as to what Downline Secrets “Part 1″ is about.
Basically with Downline Secrets part 1 you get free access to a recorded call between Mike Filsaime and James Grandstaff. Mike asks James questions about the success he had using InstantBuzz.com (a free advertising resource) to grow his downline.
You get access to the MP3 and PDF transcript of the call (which is nice because I don’t always like to sit in front of my PC to read or listen to content.)
During the call James reveals how he used his free Instant Buzz traffic along with his (now proven) 3 step strategy to explode his downline into the thousands on complete auto pilot.
The cool part is he did it while maintaining his full time job as a PC support technician in Michigan.
And from there you have the opportunity to buy the same software that James developed to grow his downline and use it to grow your downline in any program you happen to be involved in.
So all-in-all DownlineSecrets.com is a great site and offers a lot of great info for free on how to build your downline using the web.
What makes Downline Secrets “Part 2″ so much better is that it takes over where Downline Secrets 1 left off.
What I mean is this…
With Downline Secrets 1 you were left to figure out all the technical stuff in order to duplicate James’ results for your MLM business. The software and detailed videos are fantastic but you still have to come up with the web copy, the hosting, the HTML page design and so on… The yucky stuff.
Let’s just say his target market is much smaller because if you don’t have the much needed technical skills or the money to hire those with the skills, you are pretty much out of luck and can’t fully benefit from the entire system he is teaching.
This time around you get access to a call between James Grandstaff and Chris Zavadowski who is also very successful in the MLM scene. He grills James for over an hour and gets all the must know secrets out of him.
The system James is offering this time is over the top! He covers all the technical stuff for us this time and everything is completely set-up. All the technical issues have been removed. This is great because more people can now truly benefit from his teachings and proven system.
Now, I want to let you in on something…
Once you register for the call below you will see an offer for James’ Elite upgrade membership. All I can say is ==> TAKE IT!
It’s only $47 bucks and for what you get it’s simply mind blowing!
In a nut shell… he’s offering you a rofessional designed lead capture page that gives away a customized version of his new manuscript called ‘How to Get Rich Building a LAZY Downline!’
This PDF is first customized with your affiliate links to several “generic” MLM training resources. As you give this thing away you will earn commissions from those you refer who upgrade in any of the programs.
And since they’re all MLM related, the conversion rates should be extremely high!
All you do is simply advertise the lead capture page via the special link you get and James’ software sends an email to your prospects (with a link to your customized PDF)
Everything is on auto-pilot!
Oh, and don’t worry, the traffic aspect is even handled for you. Be sure to check out the bonus that’s included
See, I told you this thing was awesome.
As you can see, I’m totally excited about this because it’s refreshing to see a great product come along that is truly capable of changing the lives of others.
So yes, Downline Secrets 2 gets my highest recommendation!

It’s that time again.
Time for a huge product launch in which you will get smacked with DOZENS of promotional emails.
Jeff Dedrick today launched the Hidden Sales Project. Now, I have previewed the package and I am here to tell you that this is one you NEED to pay attention to. This could be the product that increases your revenue ten-fold. And VERY affordable!
http://www.mroverdeliver.com/hsp
It’s no secret that it’s easier to sell to an existing customer than to new customers. There’s already a relationship. That’s why upsells, cross sells and downsells convert so well.
Example: I launched a piece of software recently. It converted rather well at 7 - 8%. But the upsell converted at about 33%!
Let’s do a bit of math…
Let’s say I had 1000 visitors. That would be about 70 sales. At $27, that’s $1,890. Ok, that’s not too bad.
Now, if there was no upsell, that’s where it would end. But in this case there was a $37 upsell. So let’s see… 70 sales with a 33% upsell conversion equals 23.1 additional sales. So that’s an additional $854.70 for every 70 sales.
So, for the sake of scaling up, 700 sales, 33% on the upsell is 231 sales at $37 is $8,547 in ADDITIONAL sales.
Powerful, isn’t it…
Now, admittedly, that’s where I stopped. But there are SO many other methods for increasing your revenue that it boggles the mind.
http://www.mroverdeliver.com/hsp
Back to the Hidden Sales Project…
Jeff has pulled back the curtain to reveal the Wizard for all to see. And it’s something to see alright.
His ebook alone is over 100 pages (129 to be exact) of pure gold. He breaks it down very well. The price of his package would be worth it if it was JUST the ebook.
But, not Jeff. That wasn’t enough. So he interviewed a very impressive list of people who have mastered the hidden sales process and picked them clean of information. Even after listening to the Jason James interview alone, I have already learned enough to KNOW that on my next product launch (coming soon) I will most likely DOUBLE my revenue.
Now, in the past I have spoken of the “Bonus Wars”… where adding irrelevant bonuses can be a distraction to you. But today, I have a bonus for you that I KNOW is relevant and will help you immensely.
But…
I MUST limit this to ONLY the first 50 people. That’s it. The site is live, but has not been officially launched yet.
http://www.plrdominance.com
Read the sales page for details, but the bottom line is you will learn how to put all the PLR stuff you got sitting on your hard drive to profitable use - either as lead-in products or… upsell, cross-sell or downsell products.
Grab the Hidden Sales Project:
http://www.mroverdeliver.com/hsp
Then you’ll need to email me your receipt because the memberships need to be created manually. You can send your info to:
mike@mroverdeliver.com
Use the subject: Hidden Sales Project Receipt (allow up to 48 hours to be set up).
Remember… only the first 50 people will qualify!

You’ve heard the old saying: “It’s not WHAT you know but
WHO you know”.
If you do any kind of business on line - especially in the
Internet Marketing niche - then this really becomes more
important.
I’m not suggesting that one can’t “make it” on their own
just by having great products, super support, etc. Sure
it’s possible. Many people make a living on line this way.
What I am suggesting is how much it helps to know people
in this niche. I have often written about how my own
success was catapulted after I met Mike Filsaime. He is
one that has opened many doors for me. Others have too
but Mike is the “high profile” one .
It’s opened doors to JV’s, other marketers, customers and
many other people and opportunities.

Unsolicited Testimonial for You Cant Block This:
“I have just downloaded “You Can’t Block This!” Version 2
and I must tell you that I am awed! Is there any Website
Advertising Method on this Planet that is NOT implemented
in your Software?…”
http://www.mroverdeliver.com/ycbt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here’s another example…
Another friend today hooked me up with Marc Quarles. If you
don’t know who Marc is, he is the programming genius for
some of the most successful products for some of the biggest
names in this niche.
Remember Armand Morin’s Directory Generator? Yep. That was
Marc. He now partners with Jason Potash in Portal Feeder. Now
he’s in my rolodex. AND he’s a super down-to-earth nice guy!
So what’s my point? No, not a new product by Marc. I am
simply trying to illustrate how important making contacts in
this niche (or ANY niche for that matter) can be for your
success. And to tell you that it’s not impossible for YOU to
make some of the same types of contacts.
Seminars is an obvious way. But you know how that is…the
price of a typical seminar is several hundred to several
thousand dollars not including airfare, food, lodging as well
as entertaining.
If you can afford to go… GO! Forget all the crap you hear
about these events being “pitch fests”. Who cares? In fact…
leave your credit cards in the hotel room during the event
so you don’t buy stuff!
Go for the networking. This alone has been responsible for
generating tens of thousands of dollars in revenue for me.
And has filled my cell phone address book with so many top
level marketers…
Can’t afford to go? Ok, there’s other ways. One thing I have
been doing for the last year and a half is arranging a
Saturday lunch networking event (aka NY Warrior Lunches). In
fact, I have one scheduled for this Saturday.
Side note: If ou live in the NY/NJ/PA/CT area, feel free to
join us. It’s Saturday, August 11 at about noon at the
Sheraton Hotel in East Rutheford, NJ. You can Google it for
the directions…
Anyway, how can you tell who’s in your area? Well, a few ways
that I have tried…
- Look for a MeetUp group in your area. Never heard of MeetUp?
Go To http://www.meetup.com and sign up. Look for Business
and Entrepreneur meetups in your area. Or start one. This is
a free service. You can make some incredible connections here!
- The Warrior Forum: http://www.warriorforum.com/forum
Simply put up a post with a title like: “Any Warriors In The
XXXXXXXX Area? Lets Have Lunch!” That’s how I started mine.
My lunches have grown from 6 to 36 people (the last one) and
shaping up to be more at this one.
Side Note: Here’s a tool that Robert Plank created to help
you find Warriors in your area (by Zip Code):
http://www.robertplank.com/warriors/
You need to sign up, but it’s free. It’s not a complete list
of Warriors in your area but you may be surprised at who you
fin living close by.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One product. $4,500 in sales. One week.
Wouldn’t you like to do that over and over again like I do?
I can show you how. Audios, Videos, Checklists, Step by Step
Guidance, Private Members Forum…MUCH more! Open Now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you go to a networking event - whether it’s a seminar or
a simple lunch - bring plenty of business cards and be prepared
to meet new people. The potential for making friends, partners
and JV deals is incredible!
There’s power in numbers. Sitting alone behind your computer
may be nice and quiet…but getting out and meeting people
can change your business and change your life. Did for me
On July 21st I turned 43, and I have to tell you it was one of the best birthdays I can remember. I got a couple of great gifts, but the one you see below is a very special one.
My wife did a compilation of pictures from my Navy days, 1982 - 1986. It really took me back.
Gifts like this one are very special because they come from the heart. The video was put together by my brother in law - who does this for a living (Click Here to check out his site). If you’re looking for an extra special gift for a loved one, I can highly recommend this!
Watch the video below. Caution - a few “finger gestures” are scattered throughout the video, along with some party pictures. But there’s no nudity. I would guess this would be a PG-13 video.
Enjoy!
Oh, a disclaimer of sorts…some video quality was sacrificed in order to reduce the file size for streaming. It was huge! When you get the DVD, it’s top quality in both video and audio.

Willie Crawford is one of the genuine articles in this
business. A true success story. It’s a priveledge to be
able to call him a friend.
One thing that strikes me about him is his true desire
to help people succeed. I know this first hand. Back in
2005, I asked Willie if he would contribute a product to
my first fire sale. He went a step further and suggested
we do an interview - me interview him.
I told Willie I had never done that before. His response
was to write the interview for me, write the introduction,
set up the bridge line, set up a sign-up page, emailed
his list… all I had to do was interview him.
Yeah, that’s Willie…
So when we started talking about making money with PLR
last week, he immediately suggested that he do an interview
with me. He wanted to pick my brain for his subscribers.
The interview went very well and lasted a little over an
hour. And now, he’s posted the interview for anyone to
download and listen to. Free. You don’t even need to give
your email address!
http://www.mroverdeliver.com/plrinterview-blog
The recording is in MP3 format and you can listen to it
streaming or download it. He’s also in the process of having
it transcribed to PDF, so you’ll be able to print and read
it as well. I’ll email you again when it’s available.
Ok, quit reading this email, click this link:
http://www.mroverdeliver.com/plrinterview-blog
and go get some extremely valuable information for free.
Enjoy!
