Opt In Master Course Newsletter - 12/31/06 December 30, 2006
Posted by Mike Paetzold in : Uncategorized , add a commentWelcome to the Opt In Master Course Newsletter - December 31, 2006 .
Today is the last day of 2006. Tomorrow starts a new year. Are you ready???
I am. Actually I am as excited as a 4 year old on Christmas morning. 2006 has seen me be able to rid myself of the JOB. For me that was my number 1 goal for 2006 - to leave the factory. Some of my other goals weren’t reached but I have taken the last few weeks to look at why I didn’t and created a plan to avoid missing them this year.
One of my goals is to help all of the rebranders of Opt In Master Course reach theirs. Now, your goal may be to earn $200 extra a month or it may be to do like I did and be able to stay home. It doesn’t matter to me. The help will be here.
Changes for 2007
There are a number of changes that will take effect with the new year. First a change in seminars. Seminars will now be done in a two part fashion and will be every other week instead of every week.
The two parts will be structured as follows…
- A half hour on the topic of the week
- 10-15 minute question and answer on the topic
- Second session for rebranders in our password protected conference room to either discuss the topic in more depth or address any problems you may be having.
I will continue to get in experts to help you improve your business,
One of the biggest things that I did wrong this past year was to not provide enough extra value to help the rebranders. That is one of my biggest areas I am looking to improve upon.
There are a number of changes that will be added over the next 30-45 days to improve the value of Opt In Master Course. Parts will be revamped. One of the biggest reasons we did not do Opt In Master Course as a rebrandable PDF is that it would grow stale. Things change constantly on the internet. Actually, things change constantly in life period. You either adapt or fail.

Things to check out
One of the first things I ever did to actually make money was to start using resell rights products. They make an execellent way to monetize your warmup series. Once you have discovered how to use these for monetization it becomes easy to create systems to increase your list much more quickly. The problem is that there are some skills you need to understand to be able to do this. That is what keeps most people from using them. You also need to know which are worthwhile and which are junk. Sell junk and you ruin the relationship with your list. Well, Liz Tomey and John Hostler have created a free membership site that can show you step by step how to do all of this. Best of all the price is right. Free. I think they are nuts as I only wish I had had this 4 years ago. I have been through what they are offering and strongly recommend you check them out right away.
I have been paying to be able to supply everyone here with a copy of the Nettle twice a month. That is no longer necessary. I love to read the information there. Don’t always agree with everything but always get at least one or more ideas and look forward to it’s arrival each and every time. You can now subscribe and get your copy free. David has changed the subscription from being $5 a month - which I gladly payed. Get your copy FREE today.

Are You Leaving Money on the Table?
OMC is a great educational resource, and anyone who wants to learn how to build a professional mailing list is welcome to use this service at no cost what-so-ever. But the real power of this system is the explosive viral potential of our rebrander option.
Remember, when you make the very wise decision to rebrand your copy of the Opt-in Master course, you’ll earn $27 every time you sell a rebrander package to another marketer. This payment will go directly into your paypal account. Mike and I never even touch these funds.
Plus you’ll be able to insert your own referral IDs right into your own copy of the Opt in Master Course before distributing it. So anyone you give the free course to will join our recommended programs list through your referral URLs!
There are currently 23 programs in the Opt in Master Course that YOU can earn viral traffic and affiliate commissions from. Even more great programs will be added over time.
And of course as a rebrander you’ll have access to six list-building splash pages and your own OMC sales page that sends prospects straight to your auto responder after they request your customized copy of this course.
Open up your copy of Opt in Master Course right now and click on the ‘Make Money w/this Book’ link to learn more about becoming a rebrander.
Thanks for your support and we are here to help you build a profitable list.

Forum is gone December 24, 2006
Posted by Mike Paetzold in : Updates , add a commentSpammers have finally gotten to me. The forum was removed today.
This blog allows interactivity and thus don’t think the forum will be a big loss.
Look for more information to be added here on a regular basis.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year December 23, 2006
Posted by Mike Paetzold in : Commentary , 1 comment so farNo newsletter this week but I did want to wish all Happy Holidays. Merry Chreistmas is what this Old Bald Guy celebrates but please substitute the holiday of your choice no matter what you celebrate.
Also, do as I am doing over this holiday season - enjoy your family and spend a bit of time reviewing the past year and plannig for the new one.
Look for lots of changes once 2007 arrives and be prepared for them. The only guarantee there is that there will be change.

How was your year?
by Mike Paetzold
It’s almost year end. Only 3 weeks left this year. The holiday season is starting or for some has already started. How was your year?
A more important question is have you started to plan for next year?
Before you get into the holiday swing take a little time and see what you have accomplished this year. What went right and what went wrong.
Take the things you have done wrong. Analyze why it went wrong and make plans to avoid those mistakes. Once you have done that let it go. Hind site is 20-20.
Celebrate the good things and give yourself a pat on the back. Sometimes all we see is what went wrong and never look at what went right. Make a list of what you have accomplished. You might surprise yourself that you have done better than you thought.
Keep that list and review it often.
Finally make your plans for next year. There is an old saying that is said over and over. If you don’t plan you are planning to fail.
Hey, I can’t go out the door here, jump in my car and drive to Florida without some kind of map. Oh, if I keep asking for directions (something old bald guys are not known for doing ;-)) I will probably get there eventually.
How much easier would it be though if I had a map to take me directly there? Would it save me from driving through Arkansas on my way from Pennsylvania? (For those not familiar with US geography driving from Pennsylvania to Florida through Arkansas would more than double my trip length.) Yes I would get there eventually but with many more miles and lots more money spent then would be necessary than if I had a map.
Having a plan will help you reach your goals much quicker. Most of the things that I had on my wrong list were a direct result of lack of planning. How about you?
So take a few minutes before you get into the holiday rush to get ready for next year. It may be some of the best time you spend.

With all the products available have you ever wanted a place where you could get an honest review of various products? With reviews written by other marketers and all of the reviews can be rated by you and every other member to ensure the validity of the reviews. Best of all Rating Hubs is absolutely free. Check it out here.

Marlon Sanders just released a new product that is a rarity. It is as close to a must have for anyone serious about marketing on line as any product I have ever seen. It is called Design Dashboard. I bought it and have learned a lot from it. The price is quite affordable at $59. I normally outsource all graphic work on my projects and will continue to do that for most things. However, the ease to use has allowed me to make a few graphics by just following the buttons. For more info check my regular blog later this week at Mike Paetzold Recommends.

Look for a section to be added on properly using forums soon. Forums can be a good source of targetted traffic to your squeeze page when used properly. They are also evolving and one of the newest is Conquer Your Niche from Russell Brunson. It is not only a forum but almost like a traffic exchange. You earn credits for posting and reading posts that allow your ad to be rotated on the site. Due to this it is extemely active and a nother source of targetted traffic for you.

Are you ready for the new year?
by Mike Paetzold
Once again a new year is approaching. As the Holiday season begins and marketing slows down now is the time to look at what you have accomplished for the year and more importantly what you want to accomplish next year.
Planning is crucial if you ever expect to be successful. Ask yourself the following questions and please, please, please be honest with yourself.
1. Do I have a concrete goal for this year? This must be specific. Everyone talks about goal setting being crucial and it is. How can you get to where you want to go unless you know where that is. You are not going to be successful by accident. Make your goal and write it down. Yeah, yeah I said write it down because if you don’t you haven’t made the commitment to fulfill it. Tell others what it is. That is also making a commitment. One of the hardest things working on line is being by yourself in front of the screen and no one to hold you accountable.
2. What did I accomplish this year? And did it move me closer to my goal? If you have not accomplished what you wanted this year look at what you have. (I know I haven’t 
and probably never will or my goals are not high enough). Write down what you can change to make your results better. Start planning what you need to do to better meet your goals next year.
3. What books, articles etc am I going to read this year to improve my efforts? It is really important that you continue to learn and try new things. It is not always comfortable for you but it is necessary. If you are not happy with your results learn something new and DO something new even if it is a bit uncomfortable at first. This is how we grow.
4. What is my budget going to be for my marketing efforts this year? It is important that you allocate both funds and time for your business. Budget these things now and you will know what you can and can not do to improve your business. This will also help you not to get overextended in both your financial and family life. Remember that your family needs some of your time too and if you have a time budget and keep to it they are usually much more supportive of the time you use to commune with that little box on your desk :-).
Take the time now to do these things and surprise yourself with your results this time next year.
