Hey there people,
As you&#8217;ve probably noticed if you&#8217;ve been by here recently, it&#8217;s been quite a while since I last blogged, in fact it&#8217;s the first time since I started this blog, that I&#8217;ve let a month go by without blogging!

<p>Hey there people,</p>
<p>As you&#8217;ve probably noticed if you&#8217;ve been by here recently, it&#8217;s been quite a while since I last blogged, in fact it&#8217;s the first time since I started this blog, that I&#8217;ve let a month go by without blogging!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just been really concentrating on building my list this past 30 days, because I&#8217;m doing everything I can to try and make 2000 subscribers by April 1st&#8230; That was part of my first goal on my last post <a href="http://paul-lear.com/2010/01/my-goals-for-2010/" target="_blank">My Goals For 2010</a>.</p>
<p>So far so good, I&#8217;ve gone from 345 to just over 900 subscribers since I last blogged, so I&#8217;m certainly getting there.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m treating it as a bit of a game where 2000 is the number of points I need to get to &#8220;the next level&#8221;, and I must say I&#8217;m quite enjoying the challenge, and watching the numbers grow each day.</p>
<p>Of course we all know it&#8217;s not a game, and what this is actually doing is building the foundations of my business, and as any Internet Marketer will tell you, their subscriber list is the main part of their business, which doubles up as a push button traffic solution&#8230; You can&#8217;t get much better than that, FREE traffic at will.</p>
<p>Not only that, I&#8217;ve also made my first 4 sales, as an affiliate. Two of these were signups for 14 day trial offers that didn&#8217;t stick, but there&#8217;s still another ongoing that may stay on for the first months training.</p>
<p>The other sale was a one time offer sale from someone who signed up through me on a <a href="http://paul-lear.com/jv-giveaway-events/" target="_blank">JV Giveaway Event</a>, and the best part was i got 100% commission on it. <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Those sales were the proof I&#8217;ve been waiting for, the small amount the sales were worth is irrelevant to me, it&#8217;s enough for me to truly see the massive potential and power of Internet Marketing and Listbuilding combined, and things can only get bigger and better&#8230; And now I&#8217;ve seen for myself that this stuff really does work if you stick at it.</p>
<p>Also in the month of January I got my first product on Clickbank, I&#8217;ve not really done much to promote it yet, and it&#8217;s not getting as much traffic from the Clickbank Market Place as I would like, but it&#8217;s a start and another big chunk of progress for me to look at and feel proud of.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a very good traffic related product that I bought private rights to, I&#8217;ll probably blog about it soon once I&#8217;ve seeked some professional advice on what I should be doing next with it. I already have a pretty good idea of what I should be doing with it, I&#8217;ve just not had the time, so I may end up outsourcing to help get the word out.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll keep you posted on my progress with that too.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also pleased to announce that my Traffic Guide For Newbies eBook, has now had well over 1000 downloads, so I can safely say that writing your own eBook/Report is definitely worth the time and effort, especailly when you consider that each subscriber on your list, is worth $1 per month on average over time.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to hear more about the steps I&#8217;ve taken to get my list to where it is now, please leave a comment below, and I&#8217;ll put something together on it for my next post.</p>
<p>If you have any other questions just let me know.</p>
<p>Paul</p>

<p>This post is a little overdue, but first I don&#8217;t want you to think I started the year off slacking&#8230; Far from it!</p>
<p>I have been very busy behind the scenes concentrating on setting things up to build my list, and I&#8217;ve also been working on a few things that will hopefully help bring some extra money in to fund things like Aweber, hostsing, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>I will most likely blog about my other projects when I&#8217;ve had time to see if they bring in the desired results, and what ever happens I will more than likely create a product for you to benefit from, be it about my success or otherwise&#8230; And of course I will make it free of charge to my subscribers! <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also spent a good amount of that time planning for the weeks and months ahead, so I&#8217;ll move on now and state my goals for 2010 to the world, something which I&#8217;ve never done before might I add&#8230;</p>
<h1>==============</h1>
<h1><span style="text-decoration: underline;">My Goals For 2010</span></h1>
<p><strong>These are the things I am going to achieve by the end of 2010: </strong></p>
<p><strong>Business Goals</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Build my list to 10,000  (current total stands at 345 so I have a looong way to go, I think it&#8217;s achievable though)</li>
</ul>
<p>For the first quarter of the year my goal is 2000 by April 1st (I will update this every quarter)</p>
<ul>
<li>To be Consistently making between $2,000 &#8211; 3,000 per week</li>
<li>Get my Alexa traffic rank inside the top 100,000 (currently stands at 211,236)</li>
<li>Create a successful Membership Site of some kind</li>
<li>Create and release at least 2 products based on my results with things I&#8217;m doing to build my business</li>
<li>Help as many newbies as possible get started with their online endeavours, and give them my full support</li>
<li>Make a blog post every 1-2 weeks</li>
<li>Do a WSO (Warrior Special Offer) on the Warrior Forum in February</li>
<li>Create videos for my blog and subscribers every month (currently in the process of learning more about creating screen capture presentations)</li>
<li>Make easy to follow action plans for each part of my business</li>
<li>Do more keyword research and Search Engine Optimise this blog and rank on the first page for all my chosen keywords and key-phrases</li>
<li>Add some sales funnels into the mix</li>
<li>Surround myself with like minded positive people and keep in contact on a daily/weekly basis (already in process)</li>
<li>Test and track everything that I do, and work on ways to improve the results</li>
<li>Give myself a set start and finish time for working on my business each day, and use the time wisely. (Any internet usage after that is my leisure time.)</li>
<li>Work to a <a href="http://www.harmonyhollow.net/cool_timer.shtml" target="_blank">countdown timer</a> on each task to get the best use of my time, and increase my productivity</li>
<li>Treat this as proper business, if YOU don&#8217;t work hard enough YOU get fired! ( this is to give me some motivation when I read this back each week.) <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>Make a new pledge to myself and read it each day before I start working on my business</li>
<li>Look back at these goals every day to remind me why I&#8217;m doing this, and what I want to achieve by the end of the year ( This is written in my pledge)</li>
<li>Stick to a strict plan of action at all times</li>
<li>Have a set routine to motivate myself before I start working each day</li>
<li>Keep a Journal documenting everything that I do each day, and make it a part of my daily tasks to write it.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Entrepreneurial Goals </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Create a system that brings me a consistant flow of leads into my business</li>
<li>Refer back to the MWA coaching and listen to it all again, check my notes from the first time and see what I missed.</li>
<li>Work harder at branding myself</li>
<li>Learn more about making video screen presentations</li>
<li>Study copy-writing</li>
<li>Study sales funnels</li>
<li>Study SEO</li>
<li>Study product creation</li>
<li>Get into the habit of focusing on the positives, and irradiate the negatives</li>
<li>Study motivational material</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Personal Goals</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Make enough money so my dad can take a well deserved early retirement. (This means so much to me, and is the main reason I&#8217;m doing this. My dad has barely taken a day off work in 10 years, probably longer.)</li>
<li>Make enough money to put towards buying a detached house for my parents, and me while I still live with them (I still live with my parents in a small semi-detached house right now, so we all need somewhere bigger now)</li>
<li>Make enough money to be able to afford my own place and all the bills that go with it</li>
<li>Treat my mum and dad to an all expenses paid holiday</li>
<li>Do more exercise and get out of the house more</li>
<li>Keep things neat and tidy and have a clean up each month (right now I&#8217;ve got papers everywhere, my desk is dusty, and I keep losing things)</li>
<li>Book myself a holiday</li>
<li>Book myself and some friends on a driving experience weekend at <a href="http://www.silverstone.co.uk/" target="_blank">Silverstone Race Track</a></li>
<li>Treat myself to a 50&#8243; widescreen TV (or maybe slightly smaller if I&#8217;m still in this small house..lol)</li>
<li>Purchase a PS3 once I&#8217;ve acheived some of my big monetary goals (I could afford one of these now, but I don&#8217;t want to distract myself from my business, so this will be a treat)</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;m off to start breaking this down into monthly and weekly plans now, I hope you have enjoyed this insight into my business and what I have planned for the future.</p>
<p>Now go and create your own plan of action, feel free to use mine for ideas&#8230; But remember that your goals and plan will be different than mine, and it is important to include things in your personal plan that will motivate you and drive you to succeed, no matter what it takes.</p>
<p>Also you may wonder why I haven&#8217;t really added that many expensive treats for myself in my personal goals, well for me it is making other people happy and seeing their reactions that gives me a buzz&#8230; And doing things for the people I care about is more than enough motivation for me, so the most expensive of my personal goals are actually for other people as crazy as that sounds.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also so I can tell my Dad &#8221; I told you so&#8221;&#8230; He doesn&#8217;t believe that it&#8217;s possible to make money doing what I&#8217;m doing, which only pushes me harder to make it happen&#8230; So thanks Dad.  <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':razz:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Paul</p>
<p>PS- Making your goals public like I have here is the best way to accomplish them, you see holding myself accountable to you all, and displaying my goals here for all to see, is going to make me work my butt off to achieve them. Because I will be writing another post at the end of the year, like I did with <a href="http://paul-lear.com/2009/12/2009-the-year-it-all-began/" target="_blank"> 2009, The Year It All Began&#8230;</a>., and while it won&#8217;t be the end of the world if I don&#8217;t achieve everything I set out to do, it won&#8217;t make me feel to good having to say I didn&#8217;t manage to achieve this , this and this.</p>
<p>Also feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of my goals, and if you don&#8217;t have a blog of your own yet (highly recommended) then you can simply hold yourself accountable to me and the readers of my blog by replying to this post with your goals.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be shy, give it a try! <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>So here we are coming towards the end of 2009, and it has been a great year for me&#8230; <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-363" title="2009-2010" src="http://paul-lear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010-2009-by-Francesco-Marino.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="256" /></p>
<p>It was this time last year that I properly got interested in the whole make money online concept, but unlike in the past, this time I decided to take the plunge and get my very own website online.</p>
<p>Having my own website was something that I had been worried about doing in the past, it was the thought of all the technical stuff involved. But now that I&#8217;ve taken action and done it, using all the guides that are available these days, I found it was actually quite simple, and I now realise I should of done it sooner instead of putting it off.</p>
<p>My very first website was <a href="http://online-auction-success.com" target="_blank">www.Online-Auction-Success.com </a>, which I didn&#8217;t mention in my recent eBook <a href="http://trafficguidefornewbies.com" target="_blank">Traffic Guide For Newbies</a> because it wasn&#8217;t a very successful site, it was a project that I started with little knowledge or planning, and was somewhere that I was sending my eBay customers to at the time.</p>
<p>I worked on <a href="http://online-auction-success.com">Online-Auction-Success.com</a> right up to May/June, which was when I came across Mr <a href="http://marketingwithyou.com/" target="_blank">Alex Jeffreys</a> and his brand new coaching program, which after some thought I signed up for. It was at that point, following Alex&#8217;s advice, that I wound everything up that wasn&#8217;t making me any money in order to give all my concentration to the coaching. A few weeks later the coaching started and this blog, <a href="http://paul-lear.com">Paul-Lear.com</a> was born.</p>
<p>Although Online-Auction-Success.com wasn&#8217;t a successful site, I believe that I wouldn&#8217;t have even considered signing up for a coaching program, had I not made that first step earlier in the year, and got a bit of experience with the technical side of things.</p>
<p>So if you are interested in making money on the internet, the best thing you can do, if you haven&#8217;t already, is dive in head first and get your own personal blog online, like I have here at Paul-Lear.com . Don&#8217;t waste time taking the route I took, with my unsuccessful niche blog. When you are starting out, personal blogs are the best way to go.</p>
<p>Referrring back to when I joined the <a href="http://marketingwithyou.com/" target="_blank">Alex Jeffreys</a> coaching program. Advised by Alex I started my own personal blog on a new domain name, and I can honestly say that my decision to have Alex as my mentor is the best decision I have made this year.</p>
<p>Here is what I have achieved since I joined Alex&#8217;s coaching program:</p>
<ol>
<li>I started this blog, which as been reasonably successful.</li>
<li>I have met lots of great like minded people, and made many good friends through visiting peoples blogs regularly.</li>
<li>I have learned a great deal about how to drive traffic to a website, and I am still learning more about this each day.</li>
<li>I have learnt the importance of building a list of prospects and buyers.</li>
<li>I signed up to Aweber and I am now building an email list of willing subscribers. (which was another thing I had once put off doing)</li>
<li>I have built my email list to 215 subscribers, (bare in mind that I was neglecting my list building efforts until November)</li>
<li>I now have 4 websites online, and I&#8217;m about to purchase another new domain for a new project in January.</li>
<li>I made my first video and overcame my fear of speaking in front of the camera.</li>
<li>I made my first tutorial video using the screen capture software, Camtasia Studio.</li>
<li>I wrote my first eBook <a href="http://trafficguidefornewbies.com" target="_blank">Traffic Guide For Newbies</a>, and released it on 23rd November. It has now had 76 downloads on it&#8217;s own, and I also added it to a download package which has had 80 downloads.</li>
<li>I attended my first Live Workshop which was hosted by Lee McIntyre, and I met some great people including <a href="http://marketingwithyou.com/" target="_blank">Alex Jeffreys</a>, <a href="http://planetsmsblog.com/" target="_blank">John Thornhill</a>, and of course <a href="http://lee-mcintyre.com" target="_blank">Lee McIntyre</a> himself. I also met some of my fellow Marketing With Alex students there too which was cool.</li>
<li>I have started to develop a good marketing mindset, which makes it easier when it comes to creating squeeze pages and writing email copy for adswaps, and writing sales pages.</li>
<li>I have developed a love of blogging and writing, which at the start of this year I never thought I would even begin to enjoy those things!</li>
<li>I have driven many thousands of visitors  to my websites.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m now focused, dedicated and determined to succeed at Internet Marketing, and most importantly I&#8217;m enjoying it!  <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ol>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you can see from all that I have listed, that compared to where I as at the start of the year, which was pretty much a newbie, that I&#8217;ve achieved quite a lot in the last six months, and it all stems back to that one simple action I took at the beginning of the year, to get a website online. That was what started me on this whole journey, and I am looking forward to next year, where in 2010 I am certain I will achieve much more!</p>
<p>So if there is something you have been thinking about doing, that you&#8217;ve been putting off, just take action NOW, stop thinking about doing it and just get it done!.. You never know what it might lead to, and if you aren&#8217;t prepared to take a little risk now and then, you will never achieve very much, and you will remain at the same stage you are at now.</p>
<p>If I hadn&#8217;t of made the decision to finally start a website this time last year, I would most likely still be doing the same thing I had been doing for the past couple of years, which was very little other than playing computer games and wasting time watching far too much television. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I still make sure I take time out to relax and do those things today, I just plan my time better to fit everything in that I want to do.</p>
<p>I hope you have got something out of this post, and I will be following on from this in my next post, with my plans for 2010.</p>
<p>I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers and everyone who has supported me throughout 2009, a very Happy &amp; Profitable New Year!</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-365 alignnone" title="happy new year" src="http://paul-lear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/happy-new-year.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="336" /></p>

		</div>
<p>Over the next few posts I&#8217;m going to be briefly covering some of the many different traffic generation techniques that exist.</p>
<p>So I will start off with the first 5:</p>
<h2><strong>Traffic Generation Ideas (Part 1)</strong></h2>
<p><strong>1. Yahoo Answers</strong></p>
<p>Yahoo Answers is a website that allows people to post questions, and all you have to do is answer peoples questions with good advice to help and answer their question. After you&#8217;ve answered the question you will be able to link back to resource pages on your website.</p>
<p>As you will be linking back to pages on your site/blog, the questions you answer will need to be related to pages that you have wrote about.</p>
<p><strong>2. Free Blogs</strong></p>
<p>You can create free blogs on sites such as Blogger.com , Wordpress.com , LiveJournal.com and create posts with your targeted keywords in them, and also use your main keywords in the blog and post titles, which will then usually become part of the url.</p>
<p>You would then link back to which ever of your main sites the keywords related to in each post, using the keywords as anchor text (making them into a link), which would generate lots of backlinks at the same time helping your site in the search engines.</p>
<p>Rinse and repeat this for all your sites and squeeze pages.</p>
<p><strong>3. Social Bookmarking</strong></p>
<p>Social bookmarking is a great way to build 1 way backlinks to your sites, and also to get a lot of traffic too, as long as your posts are deemed as valuable by the regulars of these sites.</p>
<p>The best way to go about this is to add some friends once you join and start bookmarking other people sites first. Then every time you bookmark your latest blog post (this works best with blog posts) it won&#8217;t look like you are just bookmarking for traffic to your site, as it will be mixed in with a lot of other stuff you&#8217;ve bookmarked in between.</p>
<p>If you end up getting bookmarked by someone who has a big a following on one of these sites, you can end up receiving thousands of visitors within hours.</p>
<p>Here is a directory of the top social bookmarking sites &#8211; <a href="http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social-bookmarking-websites" target="_blank">Top 20 most popular social bookmarking websites</a></p>
<p><strong><br />
4. RSS Feed Directories</strong></p>
<p>RSS Feeds will ping certain services every time you make a new blog post, but first you have to submit your feed to the directories. So submit your RSS feed (if you have one) to as many feed directories as possible.</p>
<p>Here is a good list of directories to get you started &#8211; <a href="http://www.toprankblog.com/rss-blog-directories/" target="_blank">TopRank Best List of RSS Blog Directories to Submit Your Blog and Feed</a></p>
<p><strong>5. Forum and Email Signatures</strong></p>
<p>Signatures are set fields that are automatically filled in at the end of each forum post or email you write. So it makes sense to make use of them and add a link back to your blog or squeeze pages.</p>
<p>Just remember not to add any affiliate links to your signature if you are using forums.</p>
<p>Okay&#8230; That&#8217;s it for today, I should have some more ready<br />
for you in a few days or so.</p>
<p>In the mean time if you would like to download  my FREE eBook that I recently released on the subject of traffic generation, click the download link below:</p>
<p><a title="Free Download Here!!" href="http://trafficguidefornewbies.com" target="_blank">Traffic Guide For Newbies &gt;&gt; FREE Download &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>If you have any questions or if you just want to say introduce yourself, please leave a comment, and I&#8217;ll get right back to you&#8230; I love meeting new people.</p>
<p>Paul</p>

<p>Last week on 1st December the FTC  (Federal Trade Commission) released its new guidelines for which Internet Marketers, Bloggers and Affiliate Marketers and all product owners and vendors must adhere to.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="FTC Logo" src="http://content.imagesocket.com/images/ftc_logo441.png" alt="" width="200" height="200" />I&#8217;ve been researching this for the last few days so I can make sure that I&#8217;m in compliance, and also to gather info to make this blog post, so that my readers are aware of the changes too.</p>
<p>On my travels I came across a very good webinar recording, which was an interview between a top Internet Marketer, Jim Edwards and Assistant Deputy at The Federal Trade Commission, Mr. Rich Cleland.</p>
<p>You can listen and watch the entire recording <strong><a href="http://www.igottatellyou.com/blog/ftc-change-interview/" target="_blank">here</a></strong>, there&#8217;s also a full transcript and MP3 version too, but you will have to sign-up to Jim&#8217;s list to get the transcript.</p>
<p>For those who haven&#8217;t got time to watch the whole recording (which is quite long) I&#8217;ve taken some notes on the parts that will concern us the most, and some of the notes are from other various sources.</p>
<p>Before I go any further I should probably state that I&#8217;m not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. So before you apply anything you should seek legal advice from a lawyer or attorney. These are just notes that I took from the above webinar recording that you can watch yourself, and other various sources.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Main Points That Will Concern You</span></strong></h2>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What It Means For Product Owners</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Your sales page must show the customer that any results and testimonials displayed are &#8220;not typical&#8221;.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Just including the wording &#8220;results are not typical&#8221; is not deemed as clear enough to the customer.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;-</span>- You must disclose what the &#8220;average results&#8221; are.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;-</span>- Finding out the average results figure is hard to do, so the best way to protect yourself is to just remove/not include any examples of  <span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span>monetary results based testimonials and claims from your sales page.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;-</span>- You need to take certain steps to make sure any affiliates that promote your product, are doing so by following the new disclosure guidelines</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What It Means For Affiliates and Bloggers</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>You need to disclose any connections you have with the vendor of the product you are promoting, recommending or reviewing.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;-</span> For example:</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</span> &#8211; If you have received a free review copy from the product owner, you need to disclose that in your blog post/email etc&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</span>- You need to disclose any commission you get from referring the sale.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</span>- Any affiliate links in blog posts and emails needs to have a disclosure notice near it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</span>- If you have affiliate links or ads in your sidebar, then you need to add a little message to appear in your sidebar stating that you are an affiliate for any products advertised.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Does This Apply To You If You Are Outside The USA?</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Yes!&#8230; If you sell or promote a product on the internet, then it is possible that your customers might be from the US.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212; </span>- This is especially the case if the product you are promoting is priced in US dollars, but will also most likely still apply even if it is another <span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span>currency.</p>
<ul>
<li>Clickbank, CPA networks, eBay, Amazon and several other large affiliate networks are US based, and they adhere to these rules and regulations. So it is in those companies best interests that you follow the guidelines, or they will not shield you from any liability.</li>
</ul>
<p>That is just a brief summary of the changes, and I really recommend you listen to the entire interview which I mentioned at the beginning of this post.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll leave you with an interesting write up regarding the FTC guideline changes, it&#8217;s a blog post by one of my favourite Internet Marketers, Jonny Andrews:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jonnyandrewsblog.com/x/339/ftc-crackdown-the-real-death-of-affiliate-marketing/" target="_blank"> FTC Crackdown: The REAL Death Of Affiliate Marketing</a></p>
<p>I hope my post and the links I&#8217;ve provided help you understand the new FTC changes a little better, and also helps to reassure you that it&#8217;s not all bad news.</p>
<p>The changes are there for us as consumers and I actually think they are a good thing, and I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s anything wrong with full disclosure marketing anyway&#8230; In fact I think it is the best way, and my preferred way of doing things.</p>
<p>Until next time&#8230;</p>
<p>Paul</p>

Hello there!!
After many weeks slaving away at my keyboard I have finally finished writing my first ebook&#8230; Yay!!  
Well I say finished, there is still some grammar and spelling mistakes to correct, but I feel confident enough now to announce the release date, which is&#8230;.
*drum roll*
Traffic Guide For Newbies goes live on Monday 23rd [...]]]></description>

<p>Hello there!!</p>
<p>After many weeks slaving away at my keyboard I have finally finished writing my first ebook&#8230; Yay!! <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well I say finished, there is still some grammar and spelling mistakes to correct, but I feel confident enough now to announce the release date, which is&#8230;.</p>
<p>*drum roll*</p>
<p><strong>Traffic Guide For Newbies goes live on Monday 23rd November 2009</strong></p>
<p>If you would like to receive a FREE copy, then please fill out the form below.  I will then send you a copy before I officially release it here on my blog.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-269 aligncenter" title="45_131109_Traffic-Guide-For-Newbies-PB_blog" src="http://paul-lear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/45_131109_Traffic-Guide-For-Newbies-PB_blog.jpg" alt="45_131109_Traffic-Guide-For-Newbies-PB_blog" width="260" height="319" /></p>
<p><script src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/86/1905489586.js" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
<p>I decided to purchase the domain name for it as well, and luckily for me the .com version was available. <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> It was very lucky really as I&#8217;d already had the cover graphics made.</p>
<p><a href="http://TrafficGuideForNewbies.com" target="_blank">http://TrafficGuideForNewbies.com</a></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also notice that Aweber have done something different to their system lately, the old opt-in webforms have gone! That was the only sort of webform I could get. Maybe there&#8217;s an option that allows you to change it to the old standard format, but I couldn&#8217;t see any option for it?&#8230; Maybe it was because I&#8217;m tired though?</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230; That&#8217;s it from me for now, I&#8217;ve got a lot of work to do over the next few days. There&#8217;s the corrections to make as I said, but I also have the squeeze page and thank you page to make yet. I also have other things I need to get done in-between that too.</p>
<p>So look out for the release of this in my next post on Monday, or sign-up above and have your copy sent directly to your inbox before I release it. <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Take care everyone!</p>
<p>Paul.</p>

<p>Hey everyone</p>
<p>I have something *VERY* exciting to share with you today that I know is going to help you in a massive way!</p>
<p>As some of you will remember I was lucky enough to attend Lee McIntyre&#8217;s recent workshop, and the stuff Lee talked about has made me think very differently about Internet Marketing. So much so that I&#8217;m currently re-planning my whole business, and in the coming weeks and months ahead I will be making a lot of changes.</p>
<p>Now the good news for you is I just found out that fellow Internet Marketer Dean Holland, recently interviewed Lee McIntyre and they recorded the whole thing .</p>
<p>And what is even more exciting?&#8230;  Dean has made this available to <a title="Free Traffic Interview with Lee McIntyre" href="http://paul-lear.com/go/gts-lee-mcintyre-traffic-tactics-interview.htm" target="_blank">download for FREE!!</a></p>
<p>(The above is affiliate link, if you go on to purchase any offer by going through this link I will receive a commission)</p>
<p>This MP3 download contains some absolute GOLD information that covers a whole range of topics, and I can also confirm that what Lee talks about in the interview has some cross-over from his recent workshop! So if you weren&#8217;t able to have attended one of Lee&#8217;s workshop&#8217;s yet then you&#8217;d have to be mad to miss out on this interview, seriously!!</p>
<p>The main theme of the interview is around traffic and traffic generation, quite simply because Dean has identified this is a HOT topic that many people struggle with. In fact I&#8217;ve even got an ebook coming out very soon on the same subject, so look out for that too. <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>However, there is a LOT more covered in this interview ranging from Lee&#8217;s business all the way through to outsourcing and making money, and the running time of the interview is just over 1 hour long of pure content.</p>
<p><a title="Free Download Here!!" href="http://paul-lear.com/go/gts-lee-mcintyre-traffic-tactics-interview.htm" target="_blank">http://paul-lear.com/go/gts-lee-mcintyre-traffic-tactics-interview.htm</a></p>
<p>(The above is affiliate link, if you go on to purchase any offer by going through this link I will receive a commission)</p>
<p>Now something you should also know, Lee McIntyre is not one of those big gurus that is in the spotlight all the time, however he makes over SIX figures per MONTH online!! And I&#8217;ve seen behind the scenes of how he does this live at his recent worshop, and that is why you simply MUST grab this audio download right now and hear what he has to say.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m pretty certain this will not be available to download for free for very long, so I recommend you grab it right now while you can as I&#8217;ve heard Dean will be selling this in the near future for $47, although he could easily charge much more than that as the content is so good.</p>

<p>(The above is affiliate link, if you go on to purchase any offer by going through this link I will receive a commission)</p>
<p>Also, once you have listened to it I would love to read your comments below, if you like it half as much as I did then I know you will be thrilled with what you learn!</p>
<p>Speak soon</p>

<p>It has now been a week exactly since I set off to attend Lee McIntyre&#8217;s Profit Max Workshop in Manchester. So you&#8217;re probably wondering why I haven&#8217;t posted until now about it?</p>
<p>Well the reason is this, the day after the workshop finished which was last Sunday, I came down with a bad throat infection. So I&#8217;ve been coughing and spluttering all week, and well, I still am a little bit now. But at least I now feel well enough to make this post.</p>
<p>Right so what did I think of it all?</p>
<p>Well first of all whether you&#8217;ve been to a seminar/workshop before or not, most of you will know that they are usually pitch fests. So let me tell you now that Lee&#8217;s workshops are completely the opposite! Not once over the whole 2 days were we pitched to, and the only things for sale were the odd few DVD&#8217;s at the back of the room which were returns that had been opened. Obviously they were unable to be resold to normal customers, so Lee was offering them us for a discounted price.</p>
<p>The information Lee shared with us was amazing, he was showing us exactly how he had built his business to the level it is at now. And if you don&#8217;t already know Lee makes around 100k a month!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few things for you to think about, the following points have come from my notes that I took over the 2 days.</p>
<ul>
<li>Use anger to motivate yourself</li>
<li>Are you doing things too slow? &#8212; All successful people do things fast!</li>
<li>Are you trying to make everything too perfect? &#8212; There will always be room for improvement, just make sure your content is helpful, and get it out there.</li>
<li>Your focus should be on creating content and products &#8212; And in turn content and products will help build your list (business)</li>
<li>Stop thinking about doing things and just take action!</li>
<li>Believe in yourself and tell yourself you are going to do this.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t market to the many, market to the few. &#8212; i.e. a specific niche/group of people.</li>
<li>Segment your list into buyers and prospects.</li>
<li>Over deliver and be personal with your customers and affiliates.</li>
</ul>
<p>And here is a basic overveiw of Lee&#8217;s business:</p>
<ul>
<li>Killer Squeeze Page &gt;</li>
<li>Immediate Low priced but High Value offer (after prospect opts-in) &gt;</li>
<li>Upsell -a related higher priced offer that compliments the original purchase (if prospect purchased) keep offering low priced offer (if prospect didn&#8217;t buy) &gt;</li>
<li>Multiple backend sales &#8211; if they buy the previous upsell, offer your next higher priced product and so on.</li>
</ul>
<p>I learnt so much in those 2 days and what I&#8217;ve shared here is only scratching the surface, if you want to find out about everything Lee talked about there will be a DVD box set out after Lee has finished his workshop tour.</p>
<p>But if I were you I would get down to his next workshop, it&#8217;s in Newcastle in January. Just go and get on Lee&#8217;s email list and I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll let you know about it soon.</p>
<p>As you can probably tell I was extremely impressed with Lee&#8217;s workshop and I&#8217;m sure you will be too, if you manage to get to his next one, or if you buy the DVD&#8217;s?</p>
<p>Lee even gave us 2 unrelated free DVD&#8217;s at the end, and a certificate. It was was like a graduation Ceremony. Lee called our names out one by one to present us with our certificate and DVD&#8217;s, and also to shake our hand. <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ve not watched the DVD&#8217;s yet but I think they&#8217;re probably worth the price of the workshop alone.</p>
<p>All in all it was a great 2 days, and I&#8217;m pretty sure I will remember the occasion for a long time to come. And I&#8217;m very glad that I took action and just went for it. Sure I had a few problems with social anxiety, but I met some really good people and surprised myself as to what I was capable of if I just put my mind to it.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading, please share your thoughts with me by leaving a comment.</p>
<p>Paul.</p>
<p>P.S</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take my word for it, go and check out this video of everyone at Lee&#8217;s workshop (including me) saying a few words on what they thought of it.</p>

<p>The time as I write this is 2am here in the UK &#8230;. I was just about to go to bed actually, but I simply had to get a quick blog post published about this right away!!</p>
<p>As you may know back in July I enrolled on Alex Jeffreys Coaching Program &#8211; Marketing With Alex. And In this short space of time I&#8217;ve gone from having no website/blog, no list and no idea&#8230;.. To having my own blog, regular visitors that leave me comments, and a steadily growing mailing list&#8230; And Alex&#8217;s business knowledge to go with it.</p>
<p>It has to be one of the best decisions I ever made, as I&#8217;m petty darn sure that if I hadn&#8217;t of found Alex when I did, I&#8217;d still be going round in circles right now!</p>
<p>Now the reason Alex is so successful today and was able to be in a position to run a coaching program, was because he paid huge amounts of cash to some of the top level gurus to get ahead of the game. One of those gurus was Rich Schefren &#8220;The Guru to the Gurus&#8221;. And Rich Schefren is one of the guys behind what I&#8217;m about to share with you right now&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="Get Your FREE Pass here!!" href="https://schefren.infusionsoft.com/go/loemo/PaulJL/" target="_blank">&gt;&gt;The League of Extraordinary Minds &#8211;  Get Your FREE Pass Here &lt;&lt;</a></p>
<p>(The above is affiliate link, if you go on to purchase any offer by going through this link I will receive a commission)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the interesting part, Alex had to pay Rich around $10,000 for Rich to mentor him, which was $5,000 per program!! But right now you can get access to Rich Schefren and 53 of the most influential, most respected, and most recognized business advisors in the world&#8230;</p>

<p>I know!.. I couldn&#8217;t believe it either, but it&#8217;s true!&#8230; And something as rare as <a href="https://schefren.infusionsoft.com/go/loemo/PaulJL/" target="_blank">The League of Extraordinary Minds</a> is not something that comes along very often!! So as you can imagine I grabbed it with both hands.</p>
<p>Yes I&#8217;ve already secured my place and will be studying this intensely over the next 6 weeks.</p>
<p>My advice is get signed up now, get lots of note paper, watch the first video, and start taking plenty of notes.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really excited about this, it&#8217;s designed to make small businesses like ours take off&#8230; And it&#8217;s going to be good sharing our thoughts on this as the series progresses.</p>

<p>P.S</p>
<p>I&#8217;m off to Lee McIntyre&#8217;s workshop on Friday, where I&#8217;ll hopefully be meeting Alex Jeffreys himself, along with some of my fellow students and other top marketers. I can&#8217;t wait&#8230; So stay tuned for my blog post all about it soon, and I&#8217;ll try and get some photos too. <img src='http://paul-lear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
