I just read that in a popular guru’s handwritten sales letter (more on that later) that “outsourcing is dead”!

What! Is the “OutSourcerer” obsolete?!!

NOT!

See I’m not just outsourcing “people work” but also about AUTOMATION.

Software, macros, submitters - anything to make those grueling, repetitive tasks to build and promote our sites easier is OK in my book. Then I hire people to work the automation tools.

I came upon this very cool site via Ed Dale’s 30 Day Challenge, and it automates some very labor-intensive things. The Average Customer Is Saving “5 Hours of Precious Time Per Week.”

Net Access and Stomping the Search Engines 2.0

Just spent the last few hours going through StomperNet’s new publication, called “Net Access,” and the new Stomping the Search Engines 2.0.

I have not yet finished everything, but I can say right off the bat that this is a first class product, created by a top-notch team at StomperNet.

First let’s talk about Net Access. This is a no fluff journal, (they don’t want it called a magazine, because it’s got a lot more content and hardly any ads).  The content in here is drawn from the faculty, and a quick look at the article titles pretty much says it all:

“How to Interview an Outsourced SEO” by Jerry West
“The Keyword Heist Technique” by Dan Thies
“26 Things To Test” by David Bullock
“Ranking on Page One” by Leslie Rohde
“Shotgun! Enjoy Galactic-Size Content Distribution Without Ever Leaving Your Home” by Sherman Hu
“Twittering Your Way to Free Traffic” by Paul Colligan
and more…

You get the idea - top shelf content.  The articles are easy to read, and each author’s personality really comes through.  Each article is pretty focused and will give you at least one big “take away.”

Well-designed, full-color spreads, lots of usable content.

My favorite part is the “Monthly Action Plan” in the back, that details action steps for each article. This is truly where the rubber meets the road, and sets this apart from everyone else’s monthly paper and ink subscription.

Two thumbs up for the Net Access! Check it out…

And now, Stomping the Search Engines 2.0.

I was never one for search engine optimization, or SEO, because I thought it was too technical and aside from the basic on-page factors (tags, keywords, titles), you just had to get lots of links.

For many of us, this will get us 80% of the way to the top of the engines.  However, it’s not quite so easy these days.  We’re competing with videos, images, news and local search.  And if you’re not showing up on the first page of Google for your keyword, you may as well not exist!

It can still get a little technical, but this DVD-ROM video course is scripted and concise, and the added personality of the faculty members brings it to life and simplifies things quite a bit.

The Course consists of seven modules.  They are:

Module 2: How Search Engines Work
Module 3: Keyword & Content Strategy
Module 4: Site Structure
Module 5: Optimizing Content
Module 6: Link Building & Promotion
Module 7: Improving Results

I believe STSE2 has pretty much set the standard for SEO courses available today! Comprehensive, from newbie to advanced, great production values, content and presentation - this course ROCKS!

My only suggestion would be to include transcripts, don’t know if it’s just omitted in my review copy.

So why launch two products together?

Here is an excerpt from Andy Jenkin’s latest e-mail:

“So, I have one product, my SEO course, that I’d love to be able to charge as little possible for…

...And a monthly journal that I need to get as many subscribers as possible for…

And that’s WHY we decided to combine these two products together into a SINGLE offer - because it will allow us to give you a maximum value (STSE2), for the lowest possible price (”The Net Effect”).”

With these two top notch products, and knowing how these guys can really “move the free line,” you can expect this to be a killer offer!

You can see more detail about STSE2.0 on their countdown page.

I’ve finally recovered from last weekend’s “brain dump,” StomperNet Live 6 in Atlanta! Learned some really great stuff that I’ll be sharing with you over the coming weeks. I am sure most of you have heard of StomperNet, but for the uninitiated, Brad and Andy, released their first product in 2004, an SEO course called “Stomping the Search Engines” and that’s what put them on the map. Since then, they’ve created StomperNet, sort of the gold standard for Internet marketing education.

I can attest to that, as I started with them in their original apprentice program a few years back.

At any rate, they are releasing two products at th same time, a print publication called “Net Access,” and a retooled “Stomping the Search Engines 2.”

While I was there, I got hold of a review copy of Net Access, (they hadn’t even decided on the final cover!)
but I CAN tell you that this magazine, or “journal” is totally packed with content!

I’m only about a third of the way through this 45 page journal, and this is really cutting edge stuff, contributed by their crackerjack faculty. Jerry West wrote a great article on how to outsource your SEO. Great tips I haven’t heard anywhere else.

Articles on the “Keyword Heist” technique, things to test, ranking on page 1, twitter, e-mail marketing, social media - the list goes on I haven’t even looked at Stomping the Search Engines 2 yet, but I’ll post a no-BS review on my blog when I’ve had a chance to dig in over the next couple of days!

Here’s the photo: (if you don’t see the photo, click “display images”)

I’ll let you know over the next couple of days what I think.

Heard about this free site today, and thought I would share it with you all. It’s at: www.FindAllAbout.com

This free site creates a downloadable PDF formatted report from a list of article titles and summaries from a search result for any given keyword and e-mails it to you!

Perfect for lead capture/optin incentive, especially when testing a market and you don’t want to put too much time or resources to creating the opt in “ethical bribe.” There’s a lot of their branding on the report - that’s the trade-off between free and easy, and a more “do it yourself” approach.

I tested it out using the keyword “outsourcing” and wanted to show you what I created in about 30 seconds! Check it out here:

OutsourcingReport. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

For your own niche, where you are the expert, you want to use your own branding, graphics, etc. In this case, check out this handy little application, Tiger A2E.

Tiger A2E is a software program that allows you to build reports and ebooks fast out of articles. You can literally make tons of $7 dollar reports for list building or just make a larger ebook from the many PLR articles that are just sitting idle on your hard drive collecting nothing but virtual dust.

Stop doing things the hard way and start putting your time into marketing!

John Reese’s long awaited sequel to Traffic Secrets is well worth the wait! Whether or not you bought the first release in ‘04, there’s plenty to learn from the 2.0 update.

The course focuses on the most effective traffic strategies that pull in the lion’s share of traffic, following the 80/20 rule by not including every single little traffic generation method for the sake of bloating up the bulk of the material.

That’s not to say that he skimped on the content of the course, by any means!  The training manual (transcriptions of the videos) is almost 400 pages long!

Based on common sense, acute observations, human nature and sound business strategy, Reese builds a foundation and a system for creating a rock-solid online business, not just a grab bag of assorted traffic tactics.

John also includes checklists and blueprints, to make the action steps easier to implement.

He covers traffic strategies in areas such as:

* Social marketing
* online video
* article marketing
* widgets and software
* competitive intelligence
* advertising
* content publishing
* search engine optimization (SEO)
* affiliate traffic
* Google Adwords

Reese drills down on these topics without bogging you down in minutia, which is easy to do in a tech heavy field like Internet marketing. You get the concept, the strategy, some details and advice.

One of the greatest perks, may wind up being the community built around owners of Traffic Secrets 2. In an ever changing traffic landscape, being connected to the community is a competitive edge.

All in all, this update will again be considered an Internet marketing product milestone!

While I recommend Traffic Secrets 2 very highly, there is an area where there is not enough detail given which could impact your success across all these strategies in an adverse way.

I have created a special bonus that will take what you learn in Traffic Secrets, and supercharge these strategies exponentially. Seriously.

Here the details of that bonus… http://TopTrafficSecretsBonus.com
