Obtaining business success for many
is made a lot harder then it needs to be.
It seems the vast majority of entrepreneurs
forget a very basic premise……
You do not have to reinvent the wheel.
In other words there are many successful
business models to follow. Instead of
trying to figure everything out on your own….
Just find a successful business and copy/replicate
what they are doing.
Have you ever said to yourself….
“If I would have only known what I know now,
I would not have made that bonehead
decision.”
http://www.reviewsbyray.com/7free
If you think you haven’t ever said that to yourself
then you are only fooling yourself….We all
make plenty of mistakes - those that learn
from their mistakes…grow
Those that do not learn from their mistakes…
keep repeating the same mistakes.
A few years back I had the opportunity
to partner with Mike Filsaime on a few
projects. About the same time, Mike
and Tom Beal released their 7 Figure Code.
The had a $5000 per person 3 day event
in New York where they provided the
exact blueprint of how they built a
Multi-million dollar business.
I attended that event and took that
information and applied it to my own
business - eliminating tens of thousands
of dollars of mistakes.
Quite literally I was provided the blueprint
to building my own successful business.
You can now have this same information
that several hundred paid $5k plus for
And several thousands others paid
$1297 for the home study version.
You can now get this same information
This same blueprint that has launched
hundreds of successful businesses
for fr-ee!
Yes that’s right, You can get this same
course….if they are not all gone….
for just a few bucks to cover shipping.
http://www.reviewsbyray.com/7free
If you are in business online - then this is
a must read. Regardless of your niche…
the information in theis course will save
you thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.
If you want to really grow your online business
Grab this course while you can.

What’s in Your Head?
Posted on July 30, 2009 Filed Under Reviews | Leave a Comment
I just returned yesterday from a 3-day Launch Tree conference in Las Vegas.
Image via Wikipedia
It was a great opportunity to connect with old friends and associates and meet several new ones. With speakers ranging from Joe Sugarman of BluBlocker direct sales fame, to the “dude” Frank Kern of Mass Control, to Perry Belcher who in the last 10 months started from scratch - zero subscribers or followers, and using social media sites such as twitter, facebook, youtube, and wordpress he now has been averaging over 100k month - it was days of valuable information and note taking.
As I reviewed my notes last night, I began to see a pattern with nearly all of the speakers. Those that are successful all exhibit the following four attributes:
1-Successful people think big and then follow up with action
2-Successful people read and reiterate what their goals and aspirations are - Every single day
3-Successful people provide value and communicate with their audience
4-Successful people spend their time on the activity that provides them with the highest return
Let’s look at each of these attributes and how you can apply it to your life and your business. I can guarantee you one thing - if you change your thinking and your actions to coincide with these attributes - you will see big changes in your life an business. If on the other hand you say “Yeah right Ray”, and you continue living your life and business as you have been doing - you will not grow and your business will not expand. And I can guarantee one year from now you will be in exactly the same boat you are in today!
1-Successful People think big and then follow up with action
Lots of people dream big and have great ideas - however only about 5% of those people ever follow through with action. Let’s say for example you have a website or an affiliate product that you believe is great. If you were to say to yourself that you were going to be the number one affiliate, or that you were going to sell 100 units of product this week - then if there is going to be even a remote possibility of that to come true - you need to follow up with action. Specific things that you will do every day that will produce measurable results. If you have 10 visitors a day - then promote your website till you have 100 visitors a day - or 1000 visitors a day - and everyday focus your energies on what ever activity that will push you to achieving your “Big Idea”.
2-They read and reiterate what their goals and aspirations are - Every single day!
To use a old axiom, “Whatever your mind can conceive and believe - you can achieve.” Throughout my entire life, the times where I had my greatest successes, were times where I had written out on a piece of paper, clear and measurable goals, and where every morning I started out by reading those goals out loud.
What happens is you train your subconscious mind to concentrate on the activities and tasks that direct you toward achieving your goals. If you can get your subconscious mind - that guy/gal in your brain that is ALWAYS chattering at nearly 1500 words a minute to keep repeating your goals and what you want to achieve. (unfortunately for most it regurgitates the negative things of life such as bad news, violence, the economy, or worry)
The sooner you start to focus your subconscious minds on what you want to accomplish - the sooner you will do the things necessary to achieve those goals. The key is to write the measurable goals out and to read out loud.
Marshall Sylver - the millionaire maker, suggested this affirmation statement “I am a multi-millionaire whose money as yet to be deposited in my bank account”
3-Successful People provide Value and communicate with their audience
As soon as you start providing real value to others - and effectively communicating with them - everything will change for you and your business. To develop a following - provide value and communicate with your audience. Regardless of the niche you are in - the more people you provide value to - the more successful you will be. With the social sites available to all of - use those to your advantage - use these social sites as tools for you to reach a wider audience. Gain trust and credibility by providing information that your audience can use to better their lives. When you do that, they will begin to trust you - when people trust you - they will buy from you.
4-Successful people spend their time on the activity that provides them with the highest return
Brad Fallon, a very successful online businessman who now coaches Fortune 500 Companies had us conduct a simple test that shows you exactly what you need to be focusing your energies and activities on. First off we need be aware that the #1 thing that is preventing your big success is that in all likelihood, you are working on too many projects - I will be the first to admit that this is one of my weaknesses also.
Just list your current projects out in a column: Then right next to that column put what that project will profit you for the entire year were it to be completed. Next, in the next column enter the number of hours it would take you to complete that project - and finally divide your profit by the number of hours it will take.
This will result in a figure that expresses what you would be paid in dollars per hour. When you look at that column - you will see exactly what you should be concentrating your efforts on. Pause all of your other projects - and then go complete that project first - only work on that one project that leverages your time the greatest. Then when and only when that is complete - work on another project.
| Project | Annual Profit | Total Hours | Profit/Hours |
| Project A | $20k | 200 hrs | $100/hr |
| Project B | $8k | 100 hrs | $80/hr |
| Project C | $12k | 600 hrs | $20/hr |
| Project D | $3k | 100 hrs | $30/hr |
So as an example of some of the projects I am involved in - from just building this simple chart - it becomes obvious that I should concentrate my activities on Project A till it is complete.
It just does not make sense for me to be messing with project C at this time - I will leverage my time five fold by concentrating on Project A instead…..And Project A gets to market quicker where it starts generating income. But if I try to do all 4 projects - it would most likely delay Project A by months since I would be “sharing” my time with all 4 project.
Take 10 minutes and do this simple test to the projects you are involved in. I bet you will find this to be an enlightening way of looking at your own projects.

From Darkness to Success
Posted on June 23, 2009 Filed Under Newsletter, Reviews | Leave a Comment
I remember being at a conference in Baltimore - several of us decided to go out to eat some seafood. We traveled in several cars - had a great dinner and talked at great length.
Image by ktylerconk via Flickr
I was visiting with a new guy on the scene whose name is Alex Jeffreys - Well the cars all headed without us so we called a cab, no biggie…we thought….. We waited …..and waited…. then the kitchen staff closed the place down - we convinced one of them to at least give us a ride to a 24 hr gas station about a mile away. I remember looking around and how dark it was.
Well that gas station happened to be just outside the county line - we called for a cab again…..and again…. and finally after about 2 hours after the restaurant had closed and spending an hour at the gas station - a cab finally showed that whisked us back to the hotel.
But within that two-very-dark-outside-in-a-strange-big-city-hours,
Alex and I developed a very close bond. From that day forward we have been in constant contact, and I have seen Alex go from a nearly broke bloak - to one of the most respected names in the industry. His success is the result of his passion for helping others become successful.
Here is a perfect example - and email from one of his “students”:

Focus on What You Want
Posted on May 6, 2009 Filed Under Software, Newsletter, Reviews | Leave a Comment
I just read today that they are going to upgrade the Hubble Telescope again. Over this orbiting telescopes 19 year life it has undergone numerous upgrades - with each upgrade bringing countless millions more celestial objects into focus.
Image via Wikipedia
It is truly amazing the images generated by this orbiting box where we can now pear back to quite literally the beginning of time-least as we know it.
As this year zips along where we are near the summer months, I find, along with many of my associates, that it is often a useful exercise to re-group and focus on what is important. Just like the Hubble we need to re-focus and energize ourselves on what is important.
When it boils down to it was is really important? The short list I use is:
1-Family
2-Spiritual
3-Work, Employment or Business
4-Online Business
5-Hobbies
6-Social Relationships
7-Physiological
Many of these areas our directly related to another - such as your physiological health -the better you feel - the better shape you are in - the more you can accomplish in say, your business activities.
When I look back over the years I wish I had given more time to my family - say when my children were younger. I say that not to cry over spilt milk - but to give heed to you who might have young ones at home. They will be gone before you know it…..
Just keep in mind one thing - Everything you do will either bring you closer to your goals or further from goals - the choice is yours.
Big New Project
I have begun work on a very large project along with a long time friend and associate. The main focus of this project is to create software and services that help non-profits and schools with fund-raising. Since I work with a couple non-profits, I have a very keen interest in improving the ability to raise funds.
In order to properly fund this big new project, I am liquidating several of my domains and websites. Since I do manage several hundred domains - while selling several of these off will reduce my monthly income - they will provide me immediate cash that I need for the Big project.
To liquidate these quick - I am selling them for around ten cents on the dollar. Every one of these domains and websites was heavily researched before they were even purchased and the websites built. They are all aged domains with traffic and are keyword based domain names.
The one thing about a keyword based domain name - is it’s value will only increase over time - regardless of the website involved with it. Some of these sites have been recently rebuilt, others are due for a rebuild but still earn money as they are - but they are capable of a lot more if they were to be updated and promoted.
So I look at this as a win-win-win deal - you get a valuable domain for 10 cents on the dollar and I get the cash I need to get this Big Project off the ground -and the non profits and schools will have an amazing tool to help them raise money for their causes.
Go Here and grab your choice - they are one of a kind - so no hype here - once the domain is sold it is gone. Sorry if they are already gone….

Where do You Start - Or do You Start at All?
Does it seem to you that nearly every week there is another big guru launch of some kind? While I think we all have a certain amount of “guru fatigue”, it is important to stay abreast of the latest systems that do work.
The best part is that a great deal of valuable and insightful information is being given away, AND if you carefully watch how offers are presented - you can learn a great deal about what works right now.

Increase Your Conversions
Posted on April 23, 2009 Filed Under Marketing, Software, Newsletter, Reviews | Leave a Comment
In order to increase your bottom line - your income with a online business, you can either:
1-Increase the number of targeted visitors arriving at your website
OR
2-Increase the conversion of the people who now come to your website
Today I want to examine in detail the second option - what can you do to increase conversions or results of your current website traffic. Say for example , out of one hundred people that visit your website - two of those people click the buy button and complete the order process. So you are effectively converting 2% of your website visitors. If you make $50 per sale then even though you made 2 sales and earned $100 - there are the other 98 visitors that you did not convert into a sale. They have left your website - most likely they will not return.
Now if you were doing door to door sales - that would be 2 yes and 98 no’s - now that would be pretty discouraging. Or if you only hit the ball 2 out of a hundred times at bat - you probably would give up the sport of baseball/softball.
Website Conversion rule #1 - Each page should have a single objective - and if it is a salespage - then the goal is to complete the sale
Examine your salespage and look at every single element on there - each web page element will either bring you closer to the sale or further from the sale. I recently consulted a firm that had ads for firefox browser on their sales pages, and if a person looked at their salespages, nearly 50% of it had nothing to do with the product that page was talking about.
Failure to abide with this rule is the biggest mistake I see most website’s make.
Website Conversion rule #2 - Have a backup plan - if you don’t get the sale - at least get the name and email
When a visitor arrives at your website - you have precious few seconds to grab that visitors interest - and when they go to leave your webpage - you need to offer them another look or offer, at a minimum offer them a free report in exchange for their name and email.
Another option would be to extract some information from them - possibly a quick multiple choice poll where you asked directly the reason they are leaving your site without purchasing or grabbing the free report.
Dave Guindon hasdirectly addressed this issue of the 98% of website visitors that leave your website without you getting anything in return. WIth a small script that you add to your webpage, you now have several options as to increasing the likely hood of the visitor either buying, giving thier name/email, asking them for a Tweet, or even extract information on why they did not buy with a quick multiple choice poll. It is called ExitSplash
The best part about this exit script is that you are increasing the conversion - the end result of every visitor coming to your website. Instead of settling for 1-2% results - you can extract a much higher number of either sales, email/name captures,or more information to help you better your sales page.
From a business prospective, when you think of all of the time, money and effort you expend to drive traffic to your website - you need to do everything in your power to leverage and maximize the return from each one of those visitors. ExitSplash empowers you to do exactly that. I highly recommend you use this simple tool to increase your bottom line
