"Keep your credit card in your wallet -
or you may be kicking yourself later!!"
I have never steered you wrong. For years now I've been
sharing with you what I am using, what's working for ME, and
the best deals & options that I've run across on the 'net...
And this week it's no different. I want to give you a "heads
up" about a couple of BIG issues that could save you A LOT of
money.
In our quest to learn, automate and grow - we sometimes make
purchases that we regret later. Fortunately there are
guaranteees in place for such instances... but this time I
want to give you fair warning in advance.
What you're about to hear from me is strictly my point of
view, or opinion, but it is based on my personal experience
- and I share it with the intention of helping YOU to make
an informed decision.
I generally steer clear of controversial topics, *especially*
if it may 'burn bridges' or damage relationships that I have
worked hard to keep in good graces...
But this is something I feel compelled to share with you.
As a side note, I want you to really take in what I am about
to tell you - regardless of your interest in the products or
people that I mention. What you'll learn is one of the ways
that I determine WHO and WHAT in all of the decisions that I
make while doing business online.
That in itself could save you money, and make you money, over
and over again!
The first issue: Armand Morin's MultiTrack Generator
If you are on Armand Morin's mailing list, you have
undoubtedly heard of his latest "Generator" product, which
sells for $497... and you also heard Armand say:
"Someone emailed me yesterday trying to compare our
new MultiTrack Generator with some FREEE software.
I had to laugh... THERE IS NO COMPARISON!
I can honestly say that there is no other software on the
market which does what MultiTrack Generator does. It doesn't
exist!"
The "Freee Software" that Armand was referring to is
Clickalyzer's Auto Convert. And you can get Auto Convert for
freee whether you have an account with Clickalyzer... or not.
There is quite a debate going on about these two programs,
how alike they really are, freee VS 500 bucks, programming
details, originality, etc etc. But the bottom line is this:
For the end user (that's YOU and ME), they both accomplish
the same task. Period.
What are these two programs? They are both a very
comprehensive all-inclusive split-testing program. Unlike
anything you've ever used for split-testing before. And yes
- split testing is IMPORTANT.
You can get access to Auto Convert at:
http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/clickalyzer.htm
(you'll see a link at the very top of the page)
I encourage you to check it out - use it - and if you own
MTG, compare the two!
As for the debate, you can hear some of the talk between
involved parties over at Mike's IM4Newbies Forum (a pretty
interesting read, for sure). The link to the thread is:
http://www.im4newbies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1459 . If
you scroll down to the bottom of that first page, you'll
see MY post, where I said:
"All the Taguchi and Tech Talk aside, why would I pay $500
for something, when I can accomplish the same thing for
free? As an end user - can anyone convince me to spend the
500 bucks??
I would have to 'side' with Carl on this, because he
mentioned Auto Convert to me last Spring during a phone
conversation. Also, his software (Clickalyzer) is second to
none when it comes to tracking - - and he is well known for
going above and beyond to please his clients.
Armand is just in it for the buck (in my opinion) so the
level of support and the potential for updates & enhancements
just wouldnt be there. Not to mention that price tag."
And that's the most important point, in my opinion - "choose
the expert". For copywriting and sales letters, I go to Joe
Vitale and Michel Fortin. For book & ebook publishing, I go
to Fabio Marciano. For SEO I go to Sharon & Roy Montero and
Brad Fallon. For everything that I am interested in learning
or doing... I go straight to the expert that is successful
in that industry. Period.
Not the person who created the latest product.
In the end, the decision between the two programs is up to
you. But I would encourage you to try Auto Convert (freee
to everyone) before making that decision. Even if you've
never heard of "split testing" before, now would be a good
time to learn about it
Again, you can get that program

Speaking of Experts, last week we talked about Paul Short
and his highly-anticipated RSS course titled RSS EXPOSED.
This is another case of GO STRAIGHT TO THE EXPERT
In the last couple of weeks, I've seen a couple of courses
or info-products on the topic of RSS surface by well-known
marketers. Now, I'm not telling you NOT to buy them... but
if you are only going to download *one*, get RSS Exposed
by Paul Short!
RSS Exposed has just been released TODAY, so I've only had
the course myself since early this morning. This is THE
course - the one that I told you about in last week's
issue. The information I've been using "secretly" to launch
and promote a brand new website (easier, and in less time,
than ever before!).
And even with my hands-on experience with RSS... I have
already found TONS of useful information and creative ideas
in Paul's course that I hadn't yet considered!
Again, I'm not telling you NOT to buy the other courses on
this topic. After all, I happen to own ALL of the guides
written on PPC. I also have 6 books on my bookshelf about
copywriting. But if you are only going to get ONE, and want
the BEST information you can possibly get your hands on...
You want to order a copy of RSS EXPOSED.
Why?
Because Paul Short is the Expert. Because he is extremely
passionate about the topic, and has extensive personal
experience to share with you. Because he will be around for
a long time to come IN THAT INDUSTRY.
Get RSS EXPOSED by Paul Short here:
http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/rss.htm
Unlike many fly-by-night products you've seen come and go on
the internet... this is one of the few that is here to stay,
and will give you access to updates and information on new
technology for years to come!
Listen, this stuff is HOT. It is what they call "cutting edge".
Your competitors are NOT using RSS to its full potential - if
they are even using it at all!
And it is not near as complicated as you might think. Trust
me, I used to look at it and draw a blank, myself. But now...
I'm USING it and getting GREAT results!
If you think that your website, your business or whatever
it is that you're doing isn't a "fit" for RSS - you're
wrong! There is a way to use RSS to your advantage (and
it's a HUGE advantage, I might add) in ANY business model.
With all of the BUZZ going on about RSS right now... it
would pay to be the one that had the information first,
that put the resources to use first, that had the BEST
information at hand.
Leverage against your competitors. An advantage over everyone
else. That's what you'll get when you download RSS EXPOSED and
gain access to Paul's lifetime updates and ongoing support:
http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/rss.htm
I'm off to finish reading my copy of RSS EXPOSED - and work
on my own RSS strategy. I'll let you in on a 'secret', though,
before I go:
I've been working with Paul Short behind the scenes for over
a month now. Asking him questions, going to him for resources,
etc etc. He has been VERY helpful to me as I set up my own RSS
Feeds and really grasped the whole concept and began to
implement it in my marketing plan.
I know that you may run into questions of your own along the
way, or you may want to get more ideas to work with when it
comes to RSS and all of its potential. So here's what I want
to do:
I want to give you the same advantage that I had!
Write down your questions - all of them - and email them to
me. Whether it's a simple question about the technology, or
a particular resource... or even if you need help bringing
the overall concept together as it relates to YOUR business
model... send me an email.
I'll reserve a bridge line at my own expense, and then invite
you all to join me (at no c0st to you) on a Teleconference
next Monday night as I bring these questions to the table...
and GRILL Paul Short on RSS. Sound good?
Great - I'll keep an eye out for your emails
Grab your copy here:
http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/rss.htm.
Send me your questions. And keep an eye out for the details of this
Teleconference - I'll email them over to you on Monday the 22nd!
Best Regards,
Lynn Terry
