Using PLR

Introduction: Using PLR Over the last few weeks I have been promoting some PLR materials – from one supplier whose stuff I like, Alice Seba. I came across a statistic that says that more than 90% of PLR buyers never use what they have bought. Now I have bought quite a lot of PLR in my time and I am on a few recurring memberships where PLR is delivered to me monthly. I am in the 90% for sure.  Time to step up and start using PLR Two steps 1. Change it to fit your personality and your audience 2. Commit to using it soon after your buy it – like next day!!

Making Video Mainstream

Introduction: Making Video Mainstream Video has become mainstream but not in my world. My friend Adam Payne published a blog post filled with video statistics. Here are a few 72% of customers would rather learn about a product or service by way of video. (HubSpot) 50% of internet users looked for online videos related to a product or service they were interested in before visiting the store. (Think with Google) The average user spends over 16 minutes watching video ads every month. (Social Media Today) 78% of people watch online videos every week, and 55% view online videos every day.

Success Mindset for Wealth Brendan Nichols is an Australian who has been teaching wealth management for a long time – 30 years long. His focus is very much on getting the right mindset for becoming wealthy (i.e., building financial freedom) rather than teaching the (secret ninja) strategies for building wealth. What struck me were the common threads between what he was teaching and what Dean...

Review and Optimize: 12 Months In

Introduction: Review and Optimize Time has been sliding by. That really struck me in short order after I got back from my cycling challenge and got back on the horse. I started to catch up with what I had missed. Two of the things that really caught my attention were videos from Dean Holland.  I watched them in reverse order which probably helped get it into my thick skull. It all comes down to review and optimize and 12 months has slid by Firstly, Dean Holland, my mentor, made a rant video to the Internet Profits community. His big message was Working hard does not give you the right to succeed. Working smart does. He issued a challenge to the...

Back On The IM Horse

Back on the IM Horse I completed my October cycle challenge – 1,000 kms from Rockhampton to Gold Coast – in the last week of October. I had grand ideas of getting back on the Internet Marketing horse pretty sharply.   I did write last time that I was going to change things up a bit and spend less time blogging about investing (once a week instead of every day I make trades). Well I have done that as you will see if you go and look at the Investing blogs menu item above. I did one blog last week and two this week. Next one will be next week. I did spend an afternoon on horse racing. It was...
