Traffic Secrets Review

Uncategorized No Comments »

In the first video for Traffic Secrets 2.0, John Reese discusses one of the most overlooked elements of driving traffic and building visitor loyalty and the missing piece is developing software and tools.

 

John Reese reveals some very precise examples of what you can create. Ideas such as weight loss sites have a tool that can track the progress of people who are trying to lose weight or a golf score tracker for a golf site.

 

Having a web-based application attached to your site WILL get people coming back to your site and best of all what it will do is provide you with growing user generated content.

 

Does working towards building repeat visitors sound like a familiar strategy?

 

Yeah, it’s called VEO, Visitor Experience Optimization. If you develop a useful tool then aren’t you building customer loyalty and for those that have read The VEO Report will know, repeat visitors is a quality factor that Google monitors when positioning websites in the search results.

 

Now go take a look at the type of tools your competitors are providing for their visitors and let your creativity guide you into creating an application that will get your visitors pumped up about your site.

Is it time to create a new buzz phrase on the net???

Software applications are king

Because of my insider knowledge of the industry and the players involved I can first-handely tell you that John Reese with his Traffic Secrets 2.0 product can tell you that my review is this simple….

 

John Reese is:

 

1. Legit

 

2. Can show you a path to great riches on the internet

 

In fact, after watching John’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 videos I can tell that the guy has ripped off a lot of my stuff!

 

But….

 

Does that matter?

 

No!!!!

 

In fact “ripping” off competitors is something that John shows you how to do without actually ripping them off

 

John Reese is a very smart marketer and you WILL learn tons of stuff from this guy…

1. Social Networks

 

2. Social Book Marking

 

3. Social News

 

4. Video Marketing

 

5. Syndication Opportunities

 

6. Communication Tools to Drive Customers back to websites

 John is calling, what I call market research by a new name. John is calling it Results Detection which, frankly, is a much better name for online market research. John Reese’s ideas reflect my own in results detection and what that means is1. Avoid the pitfalls of trying to find an ultra-profitable niche that has yet to be discovered on the internet…. Sorry, my friends it’s too late for finding ”untapped” markets on the internet…. That is so 5 years ago…. 2. Find some of the most competitive niches and go play there…. That’s a no brainer and in fact that is EXACTLY what I do! I find the most competitive niches and hammer the living poop out of them…. Why? Because where there is competition, THERE IS SERIOUS MONEY to be made…. Colin McDougall Competitive Analysis Tip:Where there is serious competition, there is serious money, and where there is huge competion there ARE more untapped advertising opportunities!!!! 

 

What John Reese has to say on this is:

 

Go after competitive markets to get in front of where money is already being made

 

Internet Marketing Mistake #1 – Hunting for untapped markets – Find easy ways to make money by leveraging other people’s research.

 

If you want top ten Google rankings search your term to use various services to find inbound links and website structure to analyze how your competitor got there.

 

If you don’t get John’s course for the incredibly low price he is offering it at… You are insane!!!

PS. For such an incredibly low price you won’t regret it!!!

John Reese Acknowledges VEO

John Reese No Comments »

Yes, John Reese is another one of those internet marketing gurus and yes John is launching a new product, Traffic Secrets 2.0….

 

Yeah, I know there has been a huge backlash over the launch formula that has been used by many of the top marketers and now whammo, you are hit with yet another launch….

 

This is simply a bit of preamble addressing some of the issues that my 75,000 friends (aka subscribers) have… Yes, I know many of you are fed up with the launch formula strategy but folks, there is a reason the top marketers keep using it….

 

Yeah, they (the gurus) keep using the launch formula because it makes them a heck of a lot of money on launch day…

 

Now, let’s say the launch formula debate for another time and get on with the post…

 

John, I want to say a personal thank you for acknowledging what many of the gurus have not or have feared acknowledging….

 

John Reese actually had the balls out of all the gurus to acknowledge the term I coined about 5 years ago….

 

While it was subtle in his first video, John had a fly in piece with SEO & VEO

 

Here is a screen shot from John’s first Traffic Secrets 2.0 video:

 

John Reese - Traffic Secrets 2.0 Video Acknowledges VEO

  

John Reese, I thank you whole-heartedly for your mention, albeit brief, but mention non-the-less that VEO exists

 

For those new to online marketing

 

VEO = Visitor Experience Optimization

 

OK, John, did I say thanks yet???

 

Yeah, I think I did…

 

For those of you questioning whether or not to buy John’s training I would say you shouldn’t waiver and jump on board with John’s latest product….

 

You will not be disappointed with what John’s teaching, heck after watching his lead in videos John will re-affirm what I have been saying for the last 5 years….

 

Now that I have personally thanked John for being the first of the MEGA heavy hitter gurus to acknowledge that VEO is a viable strategy for organic search listings, the burning question you likely have is this:

 

Is John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 worth purchasing?

 

One thing that is a fact, John Reese makes incredible money marketing products and services online and I personally listen to anybody that pulls in the kind of cash flow that John does.

 

I haven’t bought Traffic Secrets 2.0 yet…

 

Although I will be putting my hard earned cash into purchasing John’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 especially now that I have finally watched the videos.

 

Yeah, I am a bit late to the game in writing about Traffic Secrets 2.0 due to 2 months of being on the road presenting at conferences and doing some business deals followed by a week of what I love doing most. For those of you that know me personally you know that I love spending my summers traveling in my RV to the Okanagan region of British Columbia (some pictures to be posted soon…)

 

Now go get John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 – For the minimal fee that John is charging you can’t afford to miss this information!

 

One rule I have in my own business is continuous learning and you should adopt that to your own success. Never stop learning to be truly successful.

Traffic Geyser Co-Founder Frank Sousa Has Error in Thinking

Marketing Fun No Comments »

Dear Mike Koenigs and Rocket Helstrom,

 Your Traffic Geyser partner, I must warn you, today had some VERY serious errors in thinking!

 First, here is a picture of me and Frank in Seattle at Pike Place Market:

Traffic Geyser CoFounder Frank Sousa

Mike, Rocket and any other internet marketer out there reading this post…..

 You must know that this picture was taken at about 1:00pm PST shortly after watching the fish mongers at Pike Place Market in Seattle when Frank actually thought that this crazy and ludacrous thought….

 Notice that Frank is wearing a Seattle Mariners jersey…

Yeah he thought that later in the evening that the Mariners would actually defeat the Toronto Blue Jays!!!!

Now that is simply crazy thinking!!!

 Throughout the day we had some friendly banter going back and forth as to who would win the game….

 As the chants from the predominate fan base from Canada at Safeco Field rang “Let’s Go Blue Jays, Let’s Go”

 Frank still had some serious errors in thinking about who would leave the field victorious….

 Yeah, Frank…. The Jays really did defeat the Mariners by a score of 2-0….

It was an awesome game….

 Better yet it was an example of how internet marketers work…

 Thanks Frank for an amazing day in Seattle!!!!

 PS… Yeah the Jays really did win…and Yeah I am rubbing it in now :)

Internet Marketing Conference Schedule

Conferences 4 Comments »

Wow, it’s been a busy time for me lately. I have been writing tons of new reports for my members at Fly on the Wall Club, keeping my affiliate websites ranking in the search engines and attending tons of industry events.

The latest event was simply amazing!

It was an intensive workshop called Success in Seattle hosted by my good friend Glen Hopkins.

Why do I love what I do? It’s the networking at events such as Glen’s - Meeting great people and forming new joint ventures…

Glen asked me to give 2 presentations at his workshop to help his students learn the insider secrets of how to rank in Google and using Google AdWords effectively.

I revealed some of my closely guarded secrets to his audience and I am incredibly excited to be working on a new book that details my exact AdWords strategy that has yielded additional profits of $56,000 in the span of only 2 weeks.

Having the ability to print money like that is nothing more than amazing!

While I knew all the stuff that Glen was presenting I actually learned TONS of great information on how to maximize the effectiveness of implementing his processes. My specialty has always been search engine, social media and paid search traffic generation however I really need to hone my skills on process implementation.

Thanks Glen for putting together the Success in Seattle event!

For those of you that may not have heard about Glen Hopkins, Glen is the author of the #1 Best Seller book called Lucrative List Building and Confessions of an Online Marketer.

 You can check out Glen’s website here 


What’s Next on my Agenda?

I will be flying to Chicago to present at Ken McCarthy’s System Seminar. I will be arriving in Chicago at about noon EST so if you are going to be there let’s hook up.

Check out the Pre-System Seminar Interviews Here

If you are going to be attending The System Seminar, please introduce yourself. I love helping others achieve success, especially those that invest in their education by attending seminars such as Glen Hopkins and Ken McCarthy’s. (Hint: A key to success is making a financial commitment to educating yourself. Once you spend money on education, it is then that you are vested in your success and more inclined to take action.)

My mission in life is to help others succeed, whether that be in business or personal life. My passion is bringing smiles where there weren’t smiles. Since this blog is related to business issues, please leave your comments and engage in a discussion about how I can help you.

Where do you struggle with in business?

Is it traffic generation, is it business process. Maybe it’s product creation that you need help with or is it simply deciding what industry to dive into.

My friends, I have been through it all in business. I have seen the ups and downs and I have continued to educate myself to build an enduring business, so go ahead and let me know where your struggle. Hey, if you have success stories of your own I would love to hear those as well.

Please leave your comments and questions

Affiliate Marketing, Financial Freedom and Donald Keays

Uncategorized No Comments »

While I always appreciate the fact that I don’t have to get up and go to the office everyday because I am the master of my own destiny, I don’t always fully appreciate what being financially independent really means.

Donald Keays
My friends, it hit hard today what being independent means.

Before launching my affiliate marketing business back in 2001 and subsequently quitting my last “real job” working as a UNIX Systems Administrator and Oracle DBA at BC Hydro I made friendships with a lot of really nice people there.

One of those very nice people was Donald Keays. Donald was one of the sweetest, kindest and most approachable people you could ever meet. I considered Donald to be a mentor that showed me the ropes of working a high demand technical job in a union environment.

Here is the email I received today from a former colleague and friend of mine:

Subject Line: FW: In Memoriam: Donald Keays
I regret to announce that Donald Keays passed away on Saturday, April 26th at the age of 65 after a lengthy illness.

Donald worked with IT Services and its predecessors for sixteen years. For much of that time, he provided infrastructure support at BC Hydro’s Burnaby Mountain System Control Centre. Over the past six years, Donald was Primary UNIX Administrator at Powerex, reporting to Chris Rice.

The following announcement appeared in the North Shore News:

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donald Montague Keays on April 26th, 2008 in North Vancouver. Donald is survived by his wife, Jeanette, and his children; Gordon, Marietta and Clairessa, his mother, Isabel, and his siblings Joane, Lois, Phil and his many nieces and nephews. Donald had a love of the outdoors and his spirit will rest in the tranquil surroundings of his Cariboo property. His upbeat and friendly demeanor will continue to be cherished in our hearts. The service will be held at First Memorial Services, 1505 Lillooet Road in North Vancouver at 10am on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

Chris had this to say about Donald:
Donald’s gentle nature, his hearty laugh, disarming character and down-to-earth personality made him a perfect fit for the unique demands of the Powerex environment. Respected by his peers, valued by his customers, Donald quickly earned back the warmth he radiated to others.

My fondest memories of Donald were the times we spent looking at his pictures, regaling me with tales of his Cariboo property, truly one of his loves. He inspired me with his passion, and I will remember him fondly.
I extend my condolences to Donald’s family and to those of you who knew and worked with him.
When I look back at those that inspired me on my path to entrepreneurial freedom I sometimes forget what were seemingly “daydream” conversations about a better life and being free from a job, now that I see Donald Keays has passed I can’t help but reflect on the conversations I had with him while working on UNIX projects up on Burnaby Mountain, in particular the Grid Operations Upgrade Project.

I remember Donald talking about a job not being everything and this was at a time when I was just exploring the idea of “doing something on the internet”.

Donald talked about his plans for retirement in a few short years and he encouraged me to pursue my dreams of becoming free.

It deeply saddens me to hear of Donald Keay’s passing however I am very grateful to have made his acquaintance during my time at BC Hydro.

It is news such as Donald’s passing that remind to be very grateful for being free from a job.

Donald - You have touched my spirit and you have made the world a better place. I am thankful for having known you.

May God bless your soul my friend!

Wealth Building Mantra to Consider

Uncategorized 1 Comment »

Why pursue your own business?

 What could be stopping you from achieving great financially wealth could actually be the pursuit of money itself.  Read on to see my real life experience take on this bold statement. 

Ever since launching my internet marketing business in 2001 I have enjoyed the freedom that comes with “being my own man”.

 

I am NEVER a victim to, “Colin, you need to work late tonight so cancel your personal plans and hangout with us losers at the office”

 

Now I can whole-heartedly call them “losers” in the nicest way possible. For my former co-workers reading this, I am not taking a personal jab at you.

 

I am however taking a jab at the “powers that be”. You know, the stinkin boss that says you must cancel your personal plans to do what’s best for the company.

 

Well, I own my own business and what’s important in my business is my personal well-being and that involves time with my family so it’s a given, since I am my own boss, business never interferes with family commitments.

 

Basically I get to call the shots not only in my day to day life but I get to call the shots in the hours I work.

 

That alone is well worth pursuing your own business endeavor, now do take note that I haven’t talked about the earnings potential of running your own business.

 

That’s important to take note of because I have earned MASSIVE amounts of money and it is not the money that motivates me, it is the time I get to spend with my young daughters while they are young.

 

Yeah, you have probably heard a bunch of the rich “assholes” talk about money not really mattering and that it’s the time that money provides for being free to spend with those close to you.

 

So, while money from a source that is not a 9 to 5 job is necessary to make this possible, the good news is that all you have to do is replace your current income with a business of your own.

 

So while I turned a net profit in excess of $55,000 last month, I didn’t need that much to really enjoy my daughters. In fact I regret inflating my style of living because my current income needs to make ends meet are around $10,000 per month.

 

If I didn’t increase my lifestyle the way I have, I would have only needed $4500 per month to sustain my cost of living.

 

But… Oh no…. I wanted more stuff… Bigger stuff… Bigger things…

 

Guess what folks, the novelty of expensive cars and big TV’s and all that other stuff wears off after about a week of owning them.

 

Stuff doesn’t matter, living free does.

 

So perhaps that might change your thinking about what’s possible and that to be truly successful does not equate to “he who dies with the most toys wins”

 

In fact, if you are thinking along those lines GIVE YOUR HEAD A SHAKE RIGHT NOW.

 

Stuff doesn’t matter, time with loved ones does

 

If you are a toy hunter, then I encourage you to follow a new mantra.

 

“He who dies with the most time spent with loved ones wins”

 

Hopefully this short post has been insightful and encouraging to you.

   

System Seminar by Ken McCarthy

Conferences No Comments »

Should you attend Ken McCarthy’s System Seminar?

It was back in November when I met Ken McCarthy face to face and got to know him on a personal level. Over the last 8 years of building successful internet businesses I have heard tons of excellent feedback about Ken’s Systems Seminar but it wasn’t until I had the honor of meeting him in person that I fully realized what a great guy Ken actually is.

Here is a picture that Michael Campbell’s wife, Amy, so graciously snapped while she endured our conversations about internet marketing. Thanks Amy, for listening to us talk endlessly about internet marketing tactics :)

 Ken McCarthy with Colin McDougall

For those of you that haven’t heard of Ken McCarthy before he was the first guy to hold a conference about internet marketing.

In the fall of 1994 Ken McCarthy hooked up with Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of Netscape (Netscape was the first web browser).

Ken and Marc organized the first conference on get this…

The viability of using the internet as a commerce platform!

I remember back in 1994 people were talking about the web as being a “passing fad”.

Yeah right, a passing fad…

After making millions myself on this “passing fad”, I think we can all agree the web is here to stay!

Now rolling the clock forward to 2008, the web is now an essential element to ANY successful business and in order to succeed you have to know exactly how to use it to establish or expand YOUR brand.

This is the focus of Ken’s seminars. Ken’s System Seminar is unlike many conferences you might have attended on the subject of online marketing.

What Ken’s Seminar is NOT

The Systems Seminar is NOT about OVER-HYPED platform selling.

I am personally presenting at the System Seminar and as a Systems Faculty Member I have signed an agreement that my presentation be 100% content driven. Ken does not allow his faculty members to deliver presentations for the sake of selling you something from the stage.

I strongly urge you to attend the Systems Seminar to see my presentation on Social Marketing and to get valuable information about every aspect of internet marketing to get your business to success.

Check out the f.ree Pre-System Seminar series of interviews here.

(Ken will be interviewing me again on May 7, so watch for an email reminder about that as well)

I just received an email from Ken that you can get a discount on the Systems Seminar until this Wednesday April 30.

If you have been “sitting on the fence” when it comes to attending conferences, it’s time to take the leap over.

Take action today.

Wishing you success and I hope to see you at the System Seminar!

If you have any doubts about spending your money on an internet marketing conference I have to tell you that it is worth every dime you spend.

My personal success is largely due to attending industry events such as Ken McCarthy’s System Seminar. The face to face meetings with industry experts has always proven to be of incredible benefit to my own success.

My philosophy when it comes to my business is this:

“Always be learning” - I am always open to learning and testing new tactics to grow my business so I encourage you to come learn with me as I present valuable secrets to tapping the social media at The System Seminar.
