Free ticket for 3 days of Internet marketing training

9/21/2010 By Joan 1 Comment

If you need Internet marketing training, but you can’t afford one of those expensive programs from a coach, here’s something even better.

It’s a free ticket to a three-day live event, an in-depth crash course on the very latest techniques and tools that you must know if you sell any product or service online.

StomperNet, the world’s largest membership site for Internet marketers, is offering a free ticket to its LIVE 10 event Oct. 8-10 in Las Vegas. There’s a top-notch line-up of speakers, faculty, moderators and coaches who will be training you, laying out their “Top Ten in ’10″:

—Top Ten secrets they’ve NEVER shared before.

—Top Ten “under the radar” strategies that you’d normally need “classified clearance” to know.

—Top Ten tactics that are so cutting edge, they’re thinking of sound-proofing the room just to keep them from getting out.

People succeed from learning from the best in the business. But there’s fun stuff, too, like music and entertainment so you can rest up after the killer wall-to-wall training.

Here’s the deal. You get a one-month trial membership in StomperNet (a $197 value) for only one dollar, and they’ll throw in a free ticket to the LIVE 10 event (a $497.00 value for non-members). Claim it here.

It’s time to get out from behind your computer and rub elbows with some of the best and brightest Internet marketers on the planet! I’ve been a Stompernet member for several years and couldn’t run my business without it.

Whether you need to bring more traffic to your website or blog, or you’re having problems reaching your target market in social media, or you need help with product creation, StomperNet’s faculty members and coaches will send you home with the answers. So what happens in Vegas does NOT stay in Vegas.

Prepare for the mobile gold rush with your new mobile site

4/13/2010 By Joan 5 Comments

In the last several issues of my newsletter, I’ve been writing about the gold rush that’s about to occur in the world of mobile marketing.

Imagine you’re in San Francisco in 1848, but you’re the only one with a gold-sifting pan. That’s what mobile marketing is like right now.

It IS a little like the Wild West, and Dan Hollings is the new sheriff in town. He’s the creator of StomperMobile, the 10-week class that meets for the third time at 7 p.m. Eastern tonight. We’re only in Week 3, and it isn’t too late for you to register. More about that in a minute.

In only two short weeks, after only two classes, I’ve created my own mobile website, one of three primary URLs I’ll use in my mobile marketing campaigns.

After managing my traditional websites and blogs for almost 10 years, I had to shift mental gears and understand that building a mobile site and marketing to people on their cell phones is completely different than marketing to them in the ways that feel most comfortable for me.

Why mobile marketing is so powerful

Here are the two biggest (and most profitable) reasons to pan for mobile gold:

First, of all the people who give you permission to send text messages to them on their mobile phones, about 95 percent will open the message. Ninety-five percent! Publishers of ezines are lucky if their open rate is 10 percent.

It gets even better.

The response rate runs between 35 and 55 percent. That means about half the people who received your message will do what you want them to do: click on a link, use a coupon, call your office, access a free special report, stop by your store for hot bagels that just came out of the oven, or reach for their credit card.

Dan says there are more mobile phones on the planet than credit cards, cars or PCs. And within two years, he says, one in three people who search online will be searching from a mobile phone. That means that one-third of the potential traffic that you can drive to a business or to your site will be coming from mobile search. You need to learn the strategies for getting yourself listed in mobile directories and locations.

It takes an average 52 minutes to build and publish a very basic mobile site, without all the bells and whistles. But building it is just the beginning. Tonight, we’ll learn about text messaging, including the Big Four success secrets that are rarely understood, even by technical experts. And what we learn, we can teach.

Teach it to others

You know how they always say that the folks that made the most money in the gold rush were the ones that were selling picks and shovels? Well, a big part of the StomperMobile training will be to teach you EXACTLY how to provide mobile marketing services to clients whether you’re a book coach, a PR pro, or a web developer. Dan is encouraging us to add mobile marketing to our consulting services, which I plan to do.

Smart Publicity Hounds already know that more than half of the social media activity takes place on mobile phones. And they’re incorporating mobile into their publicity and PR programs.

You can too.

The StomperMobile course is closed to the public, but as a StomperNet affiliate, I can sell a special Back-door Pass to you for $1,797, and I receive a commission.

How to get started

If you start tonight, you can spend just a day or two getting caught up. Dan recorded the first two webinars, which you can access from a password-protected site, along with killer handouts that include 28 mobile traffic strategies, 7 worksheets designed to help you identify the best opportunities for a mobile marketing campaign in your business, and the dozens of questions he is personally answering in the forums, for members only.

On Saturday, he threw in a special two-hour webinar devoted only questions and answers.

The program comes with a 30-day, no-risk, money-back guarantee.

Take a look at my site, and you’ll get an idea of a few really cool features:

A “click to call” link. StomperMobile students will even get their own 800 number as part of the course.
Widgets that let you use PayPal on your mobile site.
Links to your social media profiles.
Opt-in forms so you can subscribe people to your ezine, or just bring them into your funnel.
”Tell a Friend” forms.
I’ve even include a smattering of dog jokes, quotes and videos taken right from my newsletter. (No need to create new content!)

Stay tuned for some cool offers that I’ll throw your way—for mobile subscribers only, of course.

StomperNet taking new members: Here’s what you’ll get

9/22/2009 By Joan 2 Comments

If you sell anything online, from dog sweaters to corporate training programs, StomperNet is the single best resource for Internet training.

I’ve been a member for two years, and there’s no way I could possibly do what I’m doing today without this group. One of the biggest complaints from my own followers, however, is that Stompernet’s $800-a-month fee is too far out of reach for most business owners.

StomperNet has reworked its fee structure, added a whole bunch of terrific tools and resources, and they’re opening up membership tomorrow for as little as $197 a month. This is a STEAL. Depending on your level of membership, here’s what you can get:

—They’ll train you in every facet you need to be successful online, whether it’s how to make sense of the millions of social networking sites to the quickest way to edit video.

—You’ll have access to their library of more than 14,000 pieces of training, including thousands of videos that show you how to do everything from optimize your website for the search engines to make your Google pay-per-click ads convert to sales.

—They’ll teach your their strategy that’s critical to online success: the proper business model, the most profitable niche, and ensuring that you understand which are your “money” keywords.

—Their state-of-the-art portal delivers has more than 200,000 forum posts, well-organized and easy to find, that probably have 95 percent of your questions already answered.

—The 21 faculty members, some of the most successful Internet marketers on earth, answer your questions via telephone Faculty Office Hours, patrolling the StomperNet forums, or backed into a corner at a live StomperNet live event.

–If, after that, you still have questions, StomperNet members and moderators will gladly help you out in the portal.

–If you need more strategic guidance, you can get it from a StomperNet coach, either in a group setting, or via a Mastermind group, or one-on-one.

–Live events several times a year for hands-on, in-person training. They’ve even announced the StomperNet World Tour—18 cities next year—and StomperLocal to bring StomperNet to the rest of the world.

That’s what StomperNet WAS for three years. And that was enough for many members to build great businesses.

But tools were missing…

But StomperNet concluded that if one thing was missing, it was tools. So they hand-picked the software and tools they considered to be MUST HAVES for online success and to create competitive advantage for your business. They’re called StomperTools and they’re included in a StomperNet Membership:

—Market Samurai: Best-in-class Market and Keyword Research tool

—Traffic Geyser: An automated video submission tool to social media sites

—StomperStorm: An incredibly easy-to-use split testing and Taguchi testing tool. Use this to test two sales pages against each other to see which of two headlines, graphics or copy converts more sales.

—StomperCommerce: An easy-to-use, SEO-friendly shopping cart.

—SEOQast: A semi-automated massive ranking-oriented syndication tool.

—ArticleQast: Send your articles directly to a network of over 17,000 subscribing sites with YOUR links and link text defined

—StomperQast: Add text messaging to your integrated marketing efforts with this platform that includes text messaging, email, and social media

—CommuniQast: A telephone platform for EACH member (not VOIP). Includes a personal 800 number for inbound calls, plus conferencing, and 21 other features

—ReviewQast: Ethical reviews of your products or service from third parties, that get posted to Google Local or other review sites.

—StomperSocial: Like Tweetdeck on Steroids + Twitter Twenius training program

These tools would cost you well over $500 per month if you got them separately, and that doesn’t count over $1,000 in setup charges and fees.

Shock and Awe

But there’s more. StomperNet is piling on even more tools—worth more than $26,600—which they’re referring to as their “Shock and Awe” offer. You get ‘em if you sign up. Review them now, give StomperNet your email address, and they’ll contact you when membership open tomorrow.

Hope to see you in the StomperNet forums, on the faculty calls, and at the live events.
