This year really is going to be an enormous year for Internet marketing. There’s going to be a lot of focus on getting businesses online and an increase in mobile (cellular) advertising. You truly do have to be prepared.

If you want an audio recording AND the powerpoint presentation from last night’s meeting, just go respond to my blog entry and you will be emailed with the download link. I talk about some very powerful tools to use that will save you hundreds of hours of manual labor a month.

What’s an hour worth to you? Let’s say it’s AT LEAST $7 an hour. If I could save you 500 hours a month, I’m practically putting $3,500 into your pocket.

Listen to the audio carefully, because there’s some information there not covered in the presentation. There’s a chance to save some money on my next product. You DON’T want to miss it.

Hint: You’ll practically be able to start your own SEO marketing firm or HAVE your own SEO marketing team do all the work with minimal costs each month.

But you have to respond to my blog entry.

It’s pretty obvious who won this competition, lol. In just the past 48 hours, David (davidrle) posted 47 comments. David, get a life, will ya? Kidding. Glad to have you participating finally. You had been a member for just over 2 years and you finally started posting. I guess we all needed a little push and reason to do things, lol.

Alright, so you win my article marketing package. You’ll get 3-4 variations and will be sent out later this week with the website of your choice. The articles will be related to your business/website/niche and submit them to about 50 different social media sites. I’ll do that 3 times! I’ll even ping them for immediate indexing from search engines. As a surprised bonus, I’ll also do a social bookmarking session for you. You kind of went over the top so thank you for that.

Just give me the URL and the keywords you want to target (up to 5). However, I will analyze them and determine whether it’s even worth it. I may find more easy keywords to go after so that this session really is worth something. Same goes for the random winner today.

Okay, the random winner.

Frond! I can’t remember your name… Joanne? Sorry if I’m wrong. I try to remember everyone’s first name. I know, it’s nuts.

Anyway, you win a free social media bookmarking session. Just give me your URL and the keywords you want to target (up to 5). Again, same conditions apply as I mentioned above.

Thank you to everyone that participated. I think it will be fun to do this again soon. Good luck to everyone next time.

Btw folks, being involved in a forum is important. I’ve actually received business deals through forums. From the forums alone, I’ve probably cashed in about $10,000. Not a bad deal just enjoying yourself talking to people and helping them.

Now, this is done WITHOUT purchasing any type of traffic. It’s mainly done through email and forums. The idea is to create a buzz. You have to get attention and make others want to come to your website. Of course, you don’t want to spam, I’m totally against that.

It was just my luck, I guess, that I had come up with some things worth talking about. Things like the free DVD, the notbygoogle.com, reviewing other people’s website and so on. You must also maintain constant communication with your subscribers. I may have over done it a few days ago when I was sending out an email 1 a day or almost 2 because the updates were so crucial. However, don’t do that unless you really have to. People will start unsubscribing faster than you can think.

I had to take a train (it took about 1 and a 1/2 hours) to get there. On the way, I studied the 100 questions in just 20 minutes (I was procrastinating, lol). Anyway, it was easy.

The ceremony was held in a Church in Yokosuka, Japan. It started at 8:30 AM and ended at 9:45 AM. 94 sailors and marines (including me) were sworn in and became United States Citizens. It was a proud moment in my life and I will remember it always.
