Welcome To The Weekly Picks Section This section is where I go to work for YOU. Each week I am going to review a different program. These will either be programs I've tried or new programs that you may want to get some feedback on. If it's a money making company I will contact them and ask them how they will tell me to promote their opportunity. I will then report back to you in this forum. These reviews will be totally unbiased. If I find a good company out there I will let you know. If I find a dog I will let you know that too. This will save you a TON of time in weeding through all the trash online. Dec 26, 2007 - Weekly PICK - CONFESSIONS OF A LAZY SUPER AFFILIATE I know Chris Rempel from the Warrior Forum. Everybody raves about this
guy's book and for good reasons...it rocks! I'm not going to bore you with a bunch of
mumbo jumbo here. Just go to the site below and take a look at what this guy earns
on a regular basis. Yeah, he really knows what he's doing and this book is going to
help you more than 99% of the "crap" that you'll find out there. And tell Chris I
sent you. Dec 19, 2007 - Weekly PICK - BASIC COPYWRITING IN PLAIN ENGLISH Writing sales copy that converts is one of the most important
things you can pick up. Unfortunately, most of the books out there are impossible
to understand. So I finally did it. I wrote a book on writing sales copy in plain
English that anybody can understand. But this isn't just a book. The bonuses that
come with it, not the least of which is one free review of your sales copy, are
priceless. I'll let you take a look at the sales page below so you can see everything
that you're getting. Dec 12, 2007 - Weekly PICK - NITRO MARKETING BLUEPRINT To try to do a complete review of what is truly the best info
package (including my own) to ever come out, would be impossible. So let me
put it to you this way. Dec 5, 2007 - Weekly PICK - YOUR BUSINESS ROAD MAP My friend Bev Clement is a business planner. She is the best. If
you're floundering and need a solid business plan, she's the one to go to. The
domain below is not set up yet as of this posting. She is just putting it
together. So check back here occassionally. She turned my business from $3,000
a month to $10,000 a month literally overnight. She's the real deal. Nov 28, 2007 - Weekly PICK - REAL TRUTH ABOUT INTERNET MARKETING I just put together a report called "The REAL Truth About Internet
Marketing. It's not going to be very popular with a lot of people, but I finally
decided that it was time to let the cat out of the bag as to why most people fail
in this business. It's free. You can pick it up at the URL below. Nov 21, 2007 - Weekly PICK - AFFILIATE HARVEST This site is so brand new that it isn't even finished yet. I have
been in personal contact with the owner and he laid out for me, in detail in an
email, EXACTLY what this site will be offering to help people earn an income online
doing affiliate marketing. I was blown away. You have to check this out. When it's
all finished I am sure you are going to be glad you did. The URL is below. Nov 14, 2007 - Weekly PAN - PACKAGE MAKE MONEY He has since taken them down, but the owner of this site
put up false testimonials to this product. How do I know? Because I
personally knew many of the people and the photos he used weren't even
theirs. So how can you trust somebody who does that? Anyway, the URL of
this crook and con is below so you know what to look out for. Nov 7, 2007 - Weekly PICK - VIDEO ARTICLE SECRETS I believe in this product so much that I wrote the sales page
for it for this person for FREE. That's right...$2,500 of work for NOTHING.
If you want to stay on the cutting edge of promotional strategies, then you
have NO choice but to get this awesome book. Video articles IS the wave of
the future with Google having bought out YouTube. This book goes into step
by step detail on how to create video articles and the process itself can be
done for absolutely NOTHING. This is the biggest no brainer I have run into
in my 4 plus years of marketing online. Below is the URL so you can check it
out. Oct 31, 2007 - Weekly PICK/PAN - BLOGINI The reason I am partially panning this is not because it's some
kind of scam. Actually, this is a legit membership site and they will
do what they say they will do for you, help build blogs and get traffic,
but, it's NOT as easy as they make it sound to be successful with this stuff.
I know this because what they teach and do, I do on my own and let me tell
you, it's a lot of hard work and you won't see results quickly. It's a slow
process. In their defense, they don't claim that you'll make tons of money fast,
so I give them credit for that. I just want you to go into this service with
your eyes open and realistic expectations. If you do that, you won't be
disappointed. Below is the URL if you want to check it out. Oct 24, 2007 - Weekly PAN - GIVE 1 GET 4 I don't know how people get away with putting crap like
this out on the Internet. Don't they have any pride or ethics at all?
Anyway, this is a gifting program. Just take a look at this God awful
page and if this doesn't scream out cheap scam, then nothing does. The
URL is below, but PLEASE don't buy into this garbage. Oct 17, 2007 - Weekly PICK - TALK BIZ NEWS Most newsletters are crap. They're nothing but advertisements.
I hate them and hardly read them. But there is an exception. Paul Myers'
Talk Biz News is the one news letter I look forward to getting. I only wish
he would write more often. The guy is brilliant. I strongly suggest signing up
for this. It's free, so the only thing you risk is your time. And trust me, it
will be well worth it. The URL is below so you can check it out. Oct 10, 2007 - Weekly PICK - 100 DOLLARS A DAY Hi: By now you have probably heard about the new 247 page report, 20 Ways To Make $100 A Day. I was fortunate enough to get this as soon as it came out. What I am going to do is review it for you in this newsletter so that you don't have to wonder if it's any good or not. I will say right off the top, there is both good and bad to this report. You will need to decide if the good outweighs the bad. I can't make that decision for you. I can only give you the facts and my opinion. Okay, here are the facts as briefly as possible, which is hard to do when you're dealing with a 247 page report. The report is not written by one person, so you don't have to worry that this is from the biased viewpoint of a single individual. The report has been put together by a number of people, some of them just regular folks like you and me, not big name marketers. Each person tells, in detail, how they go about making $100 per day minimum and in many cases a lot more. Now, let me stop right here and say this. Because I am very familiar with many ways to make money online, I could tell, right off the bat, if most of these methods would work or not. Some, I admit, I was not aware of. So in that respect, buying the book, at least for me, was worth it. I now have a few things to try to at least see if they work. But I can say, absolutely, that the methods I was familiar with DO work. How do I know? I use them and teach them. And therein lies one of the cons to this book. But I'll get to that later. Some of the people in this book, like Dr Mani, I know personally. So I can vouch for their integrity. Some of the people, I do not know, however know their methods and can vouch for the methods themselves. The person who put this book together is also a very respected marketer, so I can vouch for his character. Okay, let me get to the pros and cons of this book. Pros - Each method is laid out step by step, just like I like to do in my products. Some of the steps aren't as detailed, which is understandable when you're trying to include so much info. Any more detail in this book and 247 pages would have been 1247 pages. Nobody would read it. There are many types of plans as far as time frame. There are plans for immediate cash, which will appeal to many folks, and there are plans that are more long range where you will make your $100 a day, but it will take some time to get there. But most of these plans will actually yield much more money. There is something in this book for everybody. It covers both software creation and sales, info product sales, Ebay, and things I would have never thought of. If you can't find something in this book that strikes a chord then you're just not trying. Cons - Okay, here's what I don't like about the book. Part of it has to do with my own products. Some of the methods covered, I have covered myself and in more detail, either in my Honest Income Program or in My Secret Articles. I'm not saying they did a bad job, just not as good a job as I did, in some cases. There is no focus on what I feel is the most important part of all of this, and that's advertising methods. Now, the good news is that if you have my Honest Income Program or My Secret Articles, then you have my info on advertising methods, which is quite extensive. So just apply them to these money making efforts and you'll be fine. Just don't expect any great advertising tips in here. That's not what this book is about. It's about ways to make $100 a day, fairly easily, and there are 20 of them. Finally, there is no push button method in this book. Worse, all of these methods take a lot of work. So if you're looking for easy money where you don't have to do a thing, then this book is going to disappoint you. But I've been telling people that for years now. There is no easy way to make money online. It takes work, and this book is no exception. Overall On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I give this book an 8. It's probably not for beginners as there is too much left out, such as the promotional aspect. But if you've been at this for a while, or have any of my products, then this is a great supplement. And for $27, it's a joke not to get it. If you're interested in picking up a copy for yourself, here's a special URL that I set up where you can do so. If you have any questions about the book, please feel free to email me and ask. I'll do my best to answer them as honestly as possible. Sincerely, Steven Wagenheim Oct 3, 2007 - Weekly PAN - GIBLINK They're calling this the next YMMSS. If you don't know what
happened to that nightmare of a program that screwed me royally, go look it
up online. Stay as far away from this, what will turn out to be another illegal
program, as you can. You've been warned. Sep 26, 2007 - Weekly PAN - THOUSAND DOLLAR PROFITS Well, here's another get rich quick scheme. You should see
the ads that come for this site. No selling, no prospecting, no work, no
nothing, but make all this money. I wish the FTC would finally make these
sites illegal so I don't have to keep reporting them. Anyway, URL is below
if you want to check this scheme out. Sep 19, 2007 - Weekly PAN - MWE FFA This is another case of a good program gone bad. This is an
FFA Hosting Company that is down more times than it's up, doesn't pay
commissions on time and when I complained about it, they canceled my
membership and withheld my last 2 months commissions. In a word, never do
business with this company or any company run by Michael Wonch. I am not
providing a URL because I don't want anybody to even be able to find this
site. If you see an MWE FFA or anything by a Michael Wonch, stay away. Sep 12, 2007 - Weekly PAN - INTELLIGENT MARKETING INVESTOR My panning of this site has nothing to do with the site itself.
The person who runs it is a racist and I don't have any tolerance for those
kind of people. If you want to do business with this jackass, be my guest. I'm
even including the URL below so that you can check out his site. However, I am
one person who's business he will NEVER get. Sep 5, 2007 - Weekly PAN - GOOGLE ADS FREE I don't know why I didn't blast this piece of garbage when it
first came out, but I've been just so busy. They claim to show you how to
get Google Adwords for free. It is a blatant lie and every top marketer on
the planet has blasted this product. I don't know how Clickbank even allowed
this into the marketplace. The URL is below so you know what to avoid. Biggest
scam of 2007. Aug 29, 2007 - Weekly PICK - BUM MARKETING REVOLUTION His name is Dr. Mani, and yes he really IS a doctor. He does
more for children than just about anyone I know. And on top of that, he is
a top notch marketer. If you want to find a real easy way to make money online
for only $6.27 (you read right, $6.27) then check out his Bum Marketing Revolution
at the link below. You won't be sorry. Aug 22, 2007 - Weekly PICK - NICHE BROWSER You can't pass this up. The Niche Browser will find just about
anything on the Internet, marketing materials, web site owners, underground mp3s
and too much more to name here, PLUS, it's FREE. Jason Moffat is a super cool
guy (if you've seen his videos you know this) and his stuff is first class. You
can check out this really cool tool at the URL below. Aug 15, 2007 - Weekly PICK - SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL FIRESALES I personally know Willie Crawford from the Warrior Forum. He is
integrity personified. If you want to learn great firesale techniques, you must
check out his site. This is NOT an affiliate link and he doesn't even know I am
recommending this site to anyone. You can check it out below. Aug 8, 2007 - Weekly PICK - GHOSTWRITERS INTERNATIONAL If you need PLR content or articles written for you or
any kind of writing service, even though I am a writer myself, this site is
the place to go. They are real pros. You can check them out at the URL below.
Trust me, you won't be sorry. Aug 1, 2007 - Weekly PICK/PAN - MY POWER MALL I am really split on this one. Let me explain why. The good part
of this program is that you do earn rebates on shopping and can save money. And
yes, technically it is free to join. But, if you want to make money with it, you
have to get others to BUY THINGS UNDER YOU. So in a sense, it isn't free. It's
saving grace is that at least it has a viable product, shopping discounts. The URL
is below so you can check it out. July 25, 2007 - Weekly PAN - EZIPORDER I have to be honest. I didn't find this scam. It was pointed
out to me by a friend. My followers are always on the lookout for these things
for me. This is just another pyramid scheme. No product, no substance, just
trash. Below is the URL so you know what to look out for. July 18, 2007 - Weekly PAN - BLOGGING TO THE BANK Well, what can I say? Unless you are a TOTAL beginner, this is
a very disappointing book. There is nothing new here and nothing you can't
find just by going to some forums and getting for free. Bottom line, don't
waste your money on this unless you know absolutely nothing at all about blogs.
The URL is below so you can check it out if you like. July 11, 2007 - Weekly PICK - SIMPLE PLR CLUB Unless you've been living in a cave, you know that Private Label
Rights, or PLR, is a big thing on the Internet. The problem is, finding a site
that actually has decent PLR material is close to IMPOSSIBLE. Well, I've found
a site worth its salt. Please check out the URL below if you're interested in
getting solid PLR material. You'll be very glad that you did. July 4, 2007 - Weekly PICK - NEW TRAFFIC MASTER My friend Casey Moher has a FREE traffic course. It's 5 days and I
know it's going to help you a lot. There is audio on the site that does start up
right away, so turn down your speakers if you don't want to hear it right off.
Below is the URL so you can check out the site. June 27, 2007 - Weekly PICK - FREE AD FORUM My friend Matt has a Free Ad Forum that can bring you a lot of
traffic if you get your ad up there. His site has a PR of 4 and an Alexa
ranking of around 30,000 as of this post. I strongly suggest you go there
and take advantage of his services. The link is below so you can check it out. June 20, 2007 - Weekly PAN - MICHELLE MCPHEARSON It's rare that I bash another marketer, but this woman needs to be
stopped. In a nutshell, she doesn't pay commissions to her affiliates. So if you
promote any of her products, don't expect payment. She is absolutely the lowest
form of marketing life. I can't even begin to tell you the number of people I know
personally who she hasn't paid. Below is her blog so you can see who you're dealing
with and know not to promote anything she sells. June 13, 2007 - Weekly PAN - TWO DOLLARS BIZ Hopefully, after all I have taught you over the years, you'll see that
this site is a pure pyramid scheme and total trash. I even found out from an inside
source that PayPal has notified this person that their site is illegal, so by the time
you see this, it may be gone. If not, please don't bother with this crap. Below is the
URL so you know what to look out for. June 6, 2007 - Weekly PICK - STEVE WAGENHEIM DOT COM Okay, I'm actually just having a little fun with you this week. I finally
put up my own personal web site. If you're interested in writing and want to learn
something about it, you can check it out. I also have my own personal blog now where
I enter my own random thoughts. It's very light-hearted and you might enjoy it. If you
want to check me out, and see a new photo of myself as well, the URL is below. May 30, 2007 - Weekly PAN - THE WINNING BIZ This crap site is just another PAS knockoff with a twist. You don't
have to give away your first sale. Big deal. It's still just another pyramid scheme
with no real product that will, again, ultimately get shut down. And wait until you
see the income claims of this one. I keep wondering when the crooks will stop coming
out with these get rich quick schemes. Anyway, the site is below so you know what to
look out for. May 23, 2007 - Weekly PICK - HARD TO FIND ADS If you are studying copywriting, you MUST go to this site. It has
all the old ads from the 50's, 60's, 70's and so on that are the basis for all
the great sales letters of today. I just purchased the whole package. Yes, it's
pricey at almost $300, but worth every penny if you want to be an expert copywriter
and make $2,000 or more for each sales letter you do. If you want to check out the
site, the URL is below. May 16, 2007 - Weekly PICK - SEO ELITE Short and to the point. If you're going to do Search Engine Optimization
you MUST get this tool. I'd be lost without it. It gives you everything you need to do the job right.
You will NEVER read a bad thing about this product. That is how good it is. You can check
it out at the web site below. May 9, 2007 - Weekly PAN - EDC GOLD Well, I give this site credit for trying. They do offer a lot of
tools, some good, some not so good, but the bottom line is, there's no real product.
I won't go as far as to say it's another PAS, but it's close. They probably won't
get shut down, but there is nothing special here. And with a price tag of $997, it's
only going to appeal to those with money to spend. Bottom line, getting members won't
be easy unless you are a great marketer, especially with this price tag. Plus, there
are so mamy people promoting this (I get about 100 emails a day for it) you're going
to have a very hard time making anything from this. While it's not an outright scam,
it's not a particular great opportunity for those reasons. Below is the site so you
can check it out if you want. May 2, 2007 - Weekly PICK - RIDICULOUS INCOME GOALS Let me start out by saying that you will probably not make the
kind of money these people have made just by doing the things that they have
done, but if you want to learn some cutting edge techniques, I suggest you
check this out. I know the person personally and he's a stand up guy. Just as
long as you understand that he is not making any promises here. These are real
life, true stories. You'll find them fascinating and inspiring. I know I did.
You can check out the site below. April 25, 2007 - Weekly PICK - INCREDIBLE CONCEPT This is actually not a bad little system they have here. They don't
leave you to do all the work, though you will have to do a bit of it. They provide
you with some solid tools to capture leads and a decent comp plan. Plus, it's not
a fortune to get into. You're not going to get rich with this, but if you work the
program, you can do okay. Not knock 'em out of the ball park, but at least it's
legit and has potential. Here's the URL if you want to check it out. April 16, 2007 - Weekly PICK - AVERAGE JOE MARKETER Well, I had heard a lot about this Average Joe Marketer thing and first I thought maybe it was just a variation on Bum Marketing or whatever. But, my curiosity got to me and picked up a copy. Don't know if any of you have it or have heard of it, as it's pretty new, but here's my 2 cents review on it.
April 10, 2007 - Weekly PAN - GLOBAL NICHE The opening line pretty much says it all about this illegal program. "Turn $20 into
thousands over and over again." This is a pure pyramid scheme, period. No product, no substance, no
value, and the kind of crap that should be put out of business. Sadly the toothless agencies that
we have do nothing about this garbage until it's too late and they've run off with our money. Anyway,
here's the URL so you know what to look out for. April 2, 2007 - Weekly PAN - MASTER RESALE RIGHTS BLOWOUT I will make this short and to the point. One of the most honest people online, by the name of Lisa Preston, has been victimized by a TERRIBLE crime. I won't bore you with all the gory details but in a nutshell what happened is that she designed graphics and did a lot of work for a site as a JV partner. After she did this, the person kicked her out of the JV, stole her work and refuses to answer any of her emails. In the meantime, because the site wasn't quite ready to go yet, and she tried to warn them of this, when they launched, leaving HER name up on the graphics, because of the terrible response the site got, this was a terrible blow to her business and credibility which may take months to repair. Mar 28, 2007 - Weekly PAN - QUALITY PRODUCTS CLUB I'm not going to waste a lot of time on this. QPC is just another
illegal cycler where you have to invest money to get double your money back every
so many days. This will eventually crumble just like STA and all the ones that came
before it. Save your money and find a legit business. Below is the URL so you know
what to watch out for. Mar 21, 2007 - Weekly PICK - KEYWORD ELITE As I have started to get into Bum Marketing and article writing,
I have noticed that finding keywords is critical. Well, there is nothing on the
market like Keyword Elite. That's why it's the top selling program for what it
does. If finding keywords isn't in your list of things to do, then you don't need
this because that is basically what it is for. But if you're into Bum Marketing
and other things that require you to find quality keywords quickly, then this is
a must have. Probably the best money I have spent in a very long time. Below is
the URL so you can check out the site. Mar 14, 2007 - Weekly PICK - AMEMBER This may not be for a lot of people coming to this site, but if
you're thinking about creating your own membership site, Amember, for the price
has them all beat. It is an amazing system and is dirt cheap. I can't recommend
it enough. Just go to the site and read the features list and then look at what
they're giving this away for. Plus you get free installation and 24/7 support. If
you want to check it out, the URL is below. Mar 7, 2007 - Weekly PICK - MY SECRET ARTICLES Okay, I admit. I am biased since I put this together myself.
But honestly, this is the most amazing package that anyone has ever put out
on the Internet. But don't take my word for it. Get the FREE report, see
EXACTLY what's in MY SECRET ARTICLES and then read the testimonials on the
sales page. This is it for me guys and gals. I have nothing left to put out
after this because this package is the ultimate. Below is where you can get
your FREE report that is going to turn Internet marketing on its ear. Feb 28, 2007 - Weekly PAN - LASTING INCOME 4 ALL Well, after all the great things I've been finding this year
I had to run into a real turkey eventually. I'll make this real short. This
site will not give you ANY info until you supply NOT only your email address
but also a phone number. Then, after you do this, they hound you to death with
phone calls and emails. Personally, I hate companies that do this. Tell me
what the deal is with no strings so I can make up my mind without having to
be annoyed to death. Here is the URL so you know what to look out for. Feb 21, 2007 - Weekly PICK - R.I.S.E. For those of you who know me, you know I'm not big on the
residual income thing only because of the lousy retention rate of these
programs. However, if you're one of those die hards who thinks that they
can make residual income actually work, this book may just help you do it.
It is one of the best ones I've seen written on the subject without all the
hype. If you really apply what's in it, you may actually see a degree of
success. At the very least, check out the link below. At $7 it's a no brainer
and Trent Brownrigg does know what he's talking about. Feb 14, 2007 - Weekly PICK/PAN - DAY JOB KILLER I am really torn about this book. You've all heard of it by now
I'm sure. Well, here's my take on it. I was expected more. With the title that
it has, I was expecting a lot of information on a number of money making tips.
Instead I got a book on Adwords. Very disappointed in that respect. However, it
is the best book on Adwords I've ever seen. So if you're really into making
Adwords work, which I am not because I hate Google, then this book is one you
must get. But if you're execting more than just Adwords, with all the great
techniques in the book, then you're going to be VERY disappointed by this book.
Here's the URL so you can check it out. Feb 7, 2007 - Weekly PICK - $7 SECRET When I first saw the ad copy of this the first thing I said
to myself was, "SCAM!" So I bought it for the purpose of exposing it as a
scam. Guess what? It's NO scam. It's one of the most powerful marketing
strategies I have EVER seen. No, I'm not going to say one more word about it.
Go to the web site below and read it for yourself. Jan 31, 2007 - Weekly PICK - ALL PURPOSE AUDIO This isn't an opportunity. This is a site where you can get
great products for your web site in the area of audio products. Their stuff
will really spice up your web site. It has been proven that sites with audio
presentations are more effective than just plain text. Mike and Scott are
great guys and will take real good care of you. Just tell them swagen sent you
They'll know who I am. Below is the site so you can check it out. Jan 24, 2007 - Weekly PICK - ONLINE MONEY As you can see, web design is not exactly my strong point. Well,
this guy has that down in spades. If you want to get a decent education in web
design, especially if you're planning to start your own site, then you need to
check out his. I know him personally and his integrity is top notch. Tell him
you know Steve Wagenheim and he'll give you a special gift. Below is the URL Jan 17, 2007 - Weekly PICK - CREATE AN INCOME Well, this is what happens when you start to get a reputation
I am now being asked to look at things from some pretty successful people. This
site isn't anything to do with any money making programs. No, these are tools
that, if you're going to be a successful marketer, you're going to need. I use
many of them. The one you really need to take a look at on this page,if you have
your own product to sell, is the Download Warrior. This will make it so that people
will have a very hard time discovering your download directories and stealing your
products. There are other very useful products on this page as well. Too many to
get into here. So just go to the site below. The owner's name is Tim and he is
absolutely 100% trustworthy. I have had nothing but top notch support from him. Jan 10, 2007 - Weekly PICK - IM BLOWOUT One of the benefits of being a successful marketer is people get
to know you and start sending you things to look at. Well, I looked at this package
that isn't out yet. Coming out Monday, but you can get a sneak peak now. I downloaded
everything and just the one book, which is amazing, is worth the price of this whole
package. There is way too much in it to go over here. So just go to the site and sign up
to get the sneak peak. You'll eventually find out just what you'll be getting. I'm going
to keep it as a surprise. And yes, you WILL be pleasantly surprised. Wow, 2 weeks in a row
that I actually had something nice to say about a program. Maybe 2007 will be a better year
than 2006 was. Here is the URL so you can take a look Jan 3, 2007 - Weekly PICK - NET MARKETING EXPOSED This is simply a MUST read report. If you are just starting out
then this will give you an real eye opening look at what it's going to take
for you to be successful online. You may not like what you are about to read
but at least it's the truth. And, it's FREE. One of the best reads I've had
in a very long time. Below is the URL where you can get yours. |
