Video: Running Your Business, Not Having Your Business Run You

Ok, here is the first of many free videos to come.

This one is about obtaining what you’ve always wanted. What have you always wanted? Watch the video to find out!

(more…)

Want more free training? (very important read)

Over the past months you may have noticed some drastic changes to the way I have been doing business.

We have released several new products, hired more staff, and have basically been extremely busy providing to our customers.

But there is one thing that we have been lacking, and it has bothered me for the past little while.

The reason it bothers me so much is that it is probably what is most valuable to the majority of our readers.

What is it?

Content!

We have plenty of content in our products, plenty of support for purchasers, and plenty of bonuses for customers. However, there is still a lot that I could be teaching free of charge.

There is so much to learn that there is no way that I could create enough products and services to teach everything. That is why I promote other people’s products as well (also the motivation to make money is in there, but I still choose very carefully what I send out to you).

So here is what I am going to do. Starting today, I am going to start to post free training videos on this blog on a regular basis (hopefully at least once a week).

They will be completely free, no subscription required. All you do is come back here to the blog and watch them.

If you want to be notified when these videos are added, just fill out the subscription box in the top left hand corner of this blog.

I will be posting the first video today. For this week only I will notify everybody on all of my lists of new training videos here on the blog.

However, starting next week, only those that have registered for this blog or who are on my BBO Institute mailing lists (i.e. you get emails from - BBO Institute -) will be notified. This will help to unclutter your email inbox a little bit more.

Look out for our first video!

P.S. Oh yeah, if you have any requests for what I train you on, simply post a comment here for me to see.

The cat came back…

Mon, 16 July 2007 in BBO Library

Ok , we have something to talk about…

Last week I went on vacation. I gave my staff instructions to work on re-releasing Christine’s Deal at a $1 trial offer.

Well, they decided to go a little further than that…

In case you haven’t noticed, go and read all the blog posts that Christine has been making!

Anyway, one thing that they decided to do was to create the BBO Library, a collection of tons of PLR products that you can use for whatever you want.

However, there was one problem. You see, Christine may be a great copywriter, a great manager, and a great employee, but she doesn’t know much about fair pricing.

She and Dan (my lead programmer) put together this library, which includes hundreds of products, articles, and more, but then they decided to only charge $9.95 per month!

That is insane!

The collection of products is literally worth thousands of dollars, and they thought it would be fair to only charge $9.95.

The problem with that price is that it just isn’t profitable enough for us to put any time into it.

So that is why I am going to be doubling the price this Wednesday.

If you want the $9.95 per month price (or the ridiculous $97 per year price), then you had better head over now. Otherwise, you’ll be paying a more reasonable price after this Wednesday.

And whatever price you get in at, you are locked in for as long as you continue paying, so you don’t have to worry about price increases.

Click here to get the entire BBO Library for only $9.95 per month

Enjoy!

Trivia Thursday

Thu, 12 July 2007 in BBO Traffic Formula, Free Stuff

Alright Everyone, we are nearing the end of our boss-free week and let me assure you that we intend to go out with a Bang!

There are 3 things I want to tell you about for today:

1) Yesterday I mentioned that I was working on getting you guys a free membership to an exclusive club. Well, I succeeded and everything is now in place!

Here is the lowdown- Todd Gross is one of Matthew’s JV partners and a successful internet marketer.

Todd has just released a monthly membership site where members are given a free gift each and every month! The cost of the membership? FREE!!!

What is really exciting for you is that the site is brand new and Todd is limiting the access.

To be honest, I feel really lucky that he agreed to let me give you the free membership. The free downloads that you will be given each month will be of really high quality, and 100% relevant to helping you build your business.

Your Special Password to join is cjack and here is the link to join: www.bboinstitute.com/monthlygift

>>>>>>

2) Tomorrow will be the biggest day this week for us. We are going to be launching a website called the BBO Library. This will be a membership site where you can go to access content (articles, e-books, audio files etc.).

All the content in the library will be for you to download and use for your business! We know that you are always looking for good, solid content to give to your lists.

How much easier will life be for you if you can come to one site and not waste time trolling the internet looking for articles?

And all this content will be yours- so you can re-brand it, assemble a bunch of articles in a report, give away an e-book, sell it…so many possibilities!

There will be a Pre-Launch Sale starting at 11 am ET tomorrow, Friday the 13th!

From 11 am ET to 1 pm ET anyone who signs up will be able to take advantage of the pre-sale price of $6.95/month or $67 for a yearly membership.

After 1pm ET, the price will go up to $9.95/month and $97 for the year.

I will be sending you a reminder email tomorrow morning just before the Pre-Launch Sale starts!

and finally,

>>>>>>

3) Today is Trivia Thursday!
We are having a contest! You can only answer once, and all entries must be posted here as a comment.

The question is: What is the combined age of all of Matthew’s employees?

I will give you a hint, there are 8 of us and we are all under the age of 50!

The 3 people who are the closest to the actual number will receive 2 months free access to the BBO Library!

Deadline for submission is 9:00 am ET tomorrow morning.

Good Luck to Everyone!

Have a great day!

Christine

“Why Not?” Wednesday

Wed, 11 July 2007 in BBO Traffic Formula, Free Stuff

Hi Everyone!

We are mid-way through the week and the team and I are on a roll!

Yesterday was Take it Tuesday where we gave you some great free stuff- an e-book, a report, a collection of articles about internet marketing and a graphics package.

If you didn’t have a chance to “take” any of the products yet, make sure you go to: http//:www.bboinstitute.com/takeittuesday

Today is an exciting day…it is “WHY NOT?” Wednesday.

Many of you will remember our launch the week before last of Christine’s Deal. I got tremendous feedback from all of you, and one suggestion was that we offer Christine’s Deal for $1 to try it out.

Well, seeing as how Matthew isn’t around this week to say “No” to us, we decided that was a great idea!

So, we are now offering Christine’s Deal for a 14 Day Trial Period of $1. And there is a payment plan available! You will be able to pay 2 installments of $99.50.

You can try Christine’s Deal for a full 2 weeks! This means you can access everything, take your time, download the files, watch the video tutorials, learn how to start your online business and, if you aren’t satisfied ask for your $1 to be refunded.

So how does that tie in to today’s name???

Well, for only a buck…”Why Not?” try Christine’s Deal. You can’t lose!

If you want to try Christine’s Deal for $1 go here: http://www.bbotrafficformula.com/christinesdeal

And here’s what we have planned for the rest of the week:

Tomorrow- We figured it would be fun if tomorrow is Trivia Thursday. We are planning a little contest for you.

And, I am finalizing talks with one of Matthew’s bigger JV Partners. He has a free monthly membership site where all members receive a free gift product every month.

It is a pretty exclusive membership site because the products he gives away each month are of super-high quality.

I have been lobbying all week on your behalf to let me give you guys access to the site. I just spoke with him this morning and after a lot of cajoling, flattering and pleading he has agreed.

I just need to make sure all the links work correctly, but look tomorrow for your exclusive access to the Free Monthly Membership Site!

And for Friday- Well, you guys, this will be the piece de resistance, the Big One, the thing that we have been working on all week -and most possibly the thing that will get us fired :)

I know that one of the challenges for many of you is finding content to send to your lists. Things like articles, or reports or newsletters. We are putting together a website that will act as a library where you will be able to grab and download all kinds of content for your own personal use.

At last count there were over 1000 articles (I overheard the programmers arguing about which category certain articles should go in-

Corrado: “How to Make Beer should be in Recipes”
Dan: “No! It should go in the category Beverages!”
Corrado: “Recipes!”
Dan: “Beverages!”

I don’t actually know what they settled on…but with 1000+ articles (and that is only the articles) they have their work cut out for them :)

So, lots more to come this week.

Be sure to let us know how we are doing! Hopefully positive feedback from our customers will offset any anger Matt might have when he gets back :)

Christine

p.s. Did anyone take any of the products from Take It Tuesday???

Matthew’s Gone for a Week!

Mon, 09 July 2007 in BBO Traffic Formula, Free Stuff

Happy Monday Everyone!

Matthew is away all this week with his wife on a well deserved vacation. And you know what they say… “When the cat is away, the mice will play!”

Well, the team and I here at the BBO Institute have been brainstorming all day long about what we want to do this week (besides work of course haha!), and we’ve decided that we don’t want to be the only ones having fun all week long…

So, we’ve come up with something special for you guys for every day this week.

And, we’re saving the biggest and the best for Friday. We are launching a brand new website- Matthew doesn’t know a thing about this. (Make sure you check in next Monday to see if we still have jobs…:)

I will be sending you an email every day to let you know what each day has in store, so keep an eye on your Inbox – we’ll be giving away free stuff too!

Have a great day!

p.s. Leave us a comment- The team and I want to hear from you guys- what would you do if your boss left for a week???

The 2007 Business Report

Wed, 04 July 2007 in Free Stuff

I have found that January is one of the best and worst times for my business.

It is the best time because I am able to take the success that I had in 2006 and easily pull in more profits because of that.

Because of the work I did in 2006 I have built a customer list, a good sized opt-in list, several products, and a stronger business.

However, there is also a bad side to this - I have to be extra careful not to get complacent.

I found this happening to me the other day, when I realized that I really didn’t know what I needed to do that day. I had already planned out my strategies for the next 12 months, and yet I didn’t know what I needed to do that one day.

That’s when I realized that I was long overdue for the report that I had started three weeks back.

Actually, it’s more like an e-book, just written in “report” style.

I have called it “The 2007 Business Report.”

You can download it here.

In this report I go over how I have built a strong affiliate marketing centered business in 2006, and how I am going to take that success and quickly grow into an even stronger business.

Actually, one of my goals is to have a million dollar business by 2008. That gives me one year to put everything in place.

Another one of my goals is to help you (my readers) to have the knowledge, tools, and resources necessary in order for you to do the same.

Perhaps a million dollar business sounds out of your reach (especially by 2008), but that’s not the point.

Our goal is not just to build a million dollar business, but to build towards a million dollar business.

My first year online (2005) resulted in close to $150,000 in revenue. In 2006 I more than doubled that (over $300,000).

This year I want to double it again.

However, this really means nothing for you and your business UNLESS I show you exactly what I am doing.

Of course, I can’t fit that all in one report, but I think that you will find this 26-page 100%-content e-book to be quite useful.

Oh, and it’s free.

Here’s the link again:

Enjoy!

P.S. After you have read the report please return here and post a comment on what you thought of it. I want to know!
