Mike Filsaime - Is He Legit?

Mike Filsaime - Is He Legit?
Are you looking for an edge in the internet marketing
industry? Are you researching today's most popular courses
offered by some of the most well known internet marketers
themselves? Who is Mike Filsaime and what if anything
separates him from the other so called gurus?

New York native Mike Filsaime began in the automotive
industry 14 years ago as a car salesman. His strong work
ethic lead him to a management position in 1993 for one of
the nation's leading auto companies. Mike gained extensive
sales and marketing experience during his auto years as he
oversaw the advertisements for the majority of his dealers.
Mike also started a real estate investment firm that was
very successful but was ultimately a failed venture. His
business partner was found to be embezzling funds from the
company which caused Mike to wind up with foreclosures and
facing a dismal future.

While most would have just given up on their dreams, Mike
Filsaime rose to the challenge. He decided that if he was
able to be successful with his previous ventures, then he
could surely do it again. Mike's "never give up" mentality
is was has helped him realize his dreams in the internet
marketing industry.

Mike Filsaime is the author of the Butterfly Marketing
Manuscript, which is one of the highest selling e-books to
date. He followed it up with Carbon Copy Marketing and now
his latest release of The 7 Figure Code. The 7 Figure Code
claims to give you everything you need to know to create a
successful online business. Included in this latest release
are 15 DVD's giving you an insight to Mike's 7 figure
business, as well as admittance to a workshop with 2 of his
biggest mentors. While these products have proven to be
effective for many people, you are going to have to be
willing to throw out a little cash. Mike's latest release
of The 7 Figure Code retails for $997.

So what separates Mikes's programs from another successful
internet marketer's? Well, not a lot. While his information
is very informative and insightful, so are a lot of other
internet guru's. So what does it come down to when looking
for a course to follow? You really need to do a lot of
research and in the end find someone who you can relate to
and trust. Your best chance of success in the internet
marketing industry is by choosing the course of the person
who motivates you more than any other. In reality, it's not
the course that will make you successful, it's your work
ethic and drive to succeed. No one else can do it for you.
So get going on your path to success!

A Wealthy Marketer Reveals How To Make Money Online

A Wealthy Marketer Reveals How To Make Money Online
Many people intuitively know it's possible to make a lot of
money using the internet. They know this in part because of
all the success stories they read about people making large
fortunes online. The problem is that most people just don't
have a clue as to what it takes to create and maintain a
successful internet business.

There is a simple formula that anyone can use to become
successful online. This includes ALL home based businesses.
In fact, most businesses that you see advertised on the
internet are real and they can be made successful if
marketed the right way.

So, what does it take to market a business effectively on
the web?

For starters, you need a real product or service that
satisfies the demands of a large market. There are
countless products out there that can be marketed
successfully and produce a great profit. One benefit of
starting a home based business is that you don't need the
additional overhead of a commercial office space. Another
plus is that you can work outside of 9-5 hours and achieve
great results. This is because the internet is open 24
hours a day and can reach the entire globe.

Let's say you have a good product and a large market to
satisfy it with. You are now halfway there. All that's left
are 2 things. You need a really well designed website (text
and graphics) and you need to drive traffic to your website
from the appropriate market. This is where 95% of the
people fall off the ship and never succeed.

It is really simple math. Let's say your product makes a
gross profit of $100. The question is, how much does it
cost to drive a single visitor to your site, and how many
visitors does it take to make a sale? If it costs you $2
per visitor and it takes 100 visitors, you will be out of
business very quickly. This is the main reason that 95% of
ALL internet businesses fail. Most people give up at this
point and fail to realize that if they would just make one
or two (maybe both) changes, they would become profitable
and eventually successful.

If you have a business that spends $2 to make a $1 you
should still be excited. Here's why. Your website either
needs a serious overhaul to convert a higher percentage of
visitors into buyers, or you just aren't reaching a
targeted enough audience. In this example, it's most
likely a little of both. There are so many wrong ways to
build a website, that there isn't enough time to give it
full detail. All the website should do is one thing. It
should make the reader want your product. It shouldn't
confuse or turn off the reader in any way. It shouldn't be
a mystery as to what you are selling, how much it costs,
and how to contact the website owner for more details.
There are some pretty bad websites out there.

Keep in mind that you can find a proven home business and
it will save you time from identifying a product and
market. In fact, there are at least 20 home businesses out
there that truly work. A wealthy marketer can sign up for
any of those businesses and make it profitable. A wealthy
marketer will weigh the pros and cons of each home business
and pick one to market accordingly. He does only four
things when he starts an internet business. He makes sure
the product is real and has a large market.

He then focuses on building a great website and driving
traffic. These home businesses usually give you a website
to get started with, BUT it will probably NOT work that
well. A wealthy marketer will fully revamp and rewrite that
website. This is done for two reasons. The website cannot
have duplicated text content, or it will never do well in
the search engines. 80% of all websites are found from
people using the search engines and you really want your
business to be listed for the best chances of success.
Next, a wealthy marketer will refine the website and find
ways to improve it. He will make it more concise and spell
out anything that may seem confusing to the reader. A
wealthy marketer knows that the quality of his success in
life is directly related to the quality of his
communication. In this case, it is his website that
communicates. It must be perfect or pretty close to it. No
exceptions. Every slight mistake on a website lowers the
conversion rate. A perfect website might convert every 20
visitors to a sale. If you profit is $100 per sale and you
only spend $40 for 20 visitors, you will do well. Each
mistake however, will lower the conversion rate and will
make the difference between success and suffering.

Once your website is close to perfect, there is one last
thing.

How are you getting your visitors?

Are you even getting visitors?

So many people that make it to this level start looking for
advertising companies to help drive traffic to their
website. They spend a few hundred here and a few hundred
there, and before they know it, they still have no sales
but are broke. The irony is that some of the best
advertising you could ever do on the internet is FREE. It
might be a combination of laziness and lack of knowledge,
but most people that resort to buying website traffic end
up holding the bag. There are plenty of paid methods that
work, but you need someone to point you in the right
direction. Why make mistakes that someone else has already
made. With the right mentor, you can shave thousands of
dollars off of the advertising equation.

That's where a wealthy marketer comes in handy. Someone who
can show you the ropes, and who won't lead you astray is
vital in business. These people exist and with the right
leverage, some can be reached who will be residually
compensated and therefore motivated to truly help you.

Most online businesses can be made successful. Most online
business opportunities can work because they have a product
that satisfies a market. Most people that sign up with
these programs will NOT be successful because they do not
get a website properly built to market the product, and
they do not know how to effectively drive traffic to the
site. The good news is that there are wealthy marketers out
there who can help you. If it's the right program they will
be compensated to help you, which can create synergy not
competition. If you don't know what you are doing find
someone at all cost who does, if you want to become a
wealthy marketer.

----------------------------------------------------
Wealthy marketers are out there. There are people in the
world who truly help others. It's not philanthropy. Some
people just know that one had washes the other.=>

Wealth Magnet System Tips for Profitable Article Marketing

Wealth Magnet System Tips for Profitable Article Marketing
A recent craze in the internet marketing arena has been
that of article marketing. Most recently known by its new
name "bum marketing", it is a very viable long term
approach to quickly and easily generate hundreds of one-way
quality back links to your sales site, content site or blog.

But knowing how to go about it correctly is what makes the
difference between a winning article marketing campaign and
a losing one. Here are five tips to help you get the most
out of it.

1. Make it Simple and Concise: There is no need for you to
write bulky articles with the intent of impressing your
readers. Most people searching for information online are
looking for simple guides to doing something, getting
something done, etc. Make your points and put your message
through without unneeded fluff and fillers.

2. Create a Catchy Bio Box: Whether you are writing
articles to upload to your site or submit else where to get
traffic, don't underestimate the magic that a simple but
catchy message with a relevant URL can do to your click
through traffic and ultimately your sales and/or Adsense
income. Don't claim to be an expert (unless you are), just
identify with your readers as "an enthusiast" of the
subject matter you are writing about. That makes them trust
you somehow.

3. Submit to Article Directories: The best article that did
not get submitted to article directories to get you traffic
is worth nothing but digital dust. Some of the best
directories to submit your articles to are
www.EzineArticles.com, www.GoArticles.com and
www.ArticleDashboard.com. All these are high PR sites that
will get you high quality traffic and links in no time.

4. Submit to Article Distribution Services: While it is
good to submit to free article directories, it is 100x
better when you use article distribution services. These
get your article picked up by thousands of marketers
looking for high quality content. Can you imagine the
potential traffic and backlinks that you will be getting
from this? One caveat, though, is that these are paid
services. But they are worth the price. Some of the best
(and most used) out there are www.Isnare.com and
www.ArticleMarketer.com. Isnare.com is best in my opinion,
but you can experiment with both and track your success.

5. Bookmark them on Social Bookmarking Sites: Submitting
the URL of your article to sites like StumbleUpon.com,
technorati and others will almost guarantee that the
submitted page gets indexed with 24-48 hours, which means
it may start showing up in the search engines sooner than
expected. Plus, you may get a lot of clickthroughs from the
social bookmarking sites themselves.

If you follow the above steps religiously, you should start
getting a good amount of one-way links pointing to your
site and a flood of traffic that you can tap to build your
lists, sell your products or promote your affiliate
programs. What you do with it is up to you. Just don't
waste it.
