Last Call For Theme Zoom Research At This Price

May 25th, 2008 · No Comments

Due to demands of my business and the demand of having research done, I will be extending my current pricing of doing complete market research for $250 per market or niche only until May 31St.

Internet marketing researchI am currently booked through next week, but I am opening up spots where you can secure my services to do your market research for $250. You can order as many as you like with the understanding that I can only do around 3 to 5 max reports a week. More like 3 :)  It is very involved and when I do these, they involved getting on skype or phone at least 2 times to discuss what is happening in the market.

After May 31St I a will be raising the prices for these reports to $400 per report. As the data you receive is critical to your success, I feel that the time we spend together on this warrants an increase in prices. Currently I am spending well over 10 hours per report and the in-depth levels and advantages they give you in the market will surely give you a big edge in the market place.

If you want a market research report done for you, please email me at  sam at 16stepstosuccess.com and put Market Research Request in the subject line.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping your business become all it can be.

What is Your Biggest Challenge When It Comes To Web 2.0?

May 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have been working behind the scenes at ASC alot and really trying to solve some of the core issues we all have on a daily basis.

It is proven that posting remotely onto various sites like squiddo, hubpages, wordpress.com wetpaint and many others can really help with traffic and rankings. The issue seems to be when will I have time to do all this?

I am curious as to how you all feel.

WHat is your biggest challenge when it comes to web 2.0?  Are you seeing benefits from it? Are you doing it? And if not, why not?

In session 14 I think it was, Jack talked about how easy it has gotten and that 70-75% of his traffic is coming off the social sites. 

That being the case, what is your biggest Challenge when it comes to Web 2.0?

You know how that can go…So I opened up this one email and off I went for the next 2 hours…

Help, My IM Business is Out of Control!

May 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Do you ever feel that way?

I know I have and it has been an area that needs constant attention. I am always looking for ways to streamline and make my business more efficient.

I have multiple projects going on and sometimes it can get down right overwhelming.

The 3 ring binder setups have helped tremendously and alot of information about my sites or business is right at my fingertips.

But what about my hard drives? What about when I am looking for a download from 6 months ago? What about the give-aways that I want to offer others? What about the ideas and projects I am working on?

AHhhhhhh…Im Index to the rescue :)

Recently he launched the latest version of his IM Index, and it is excellent.

It allows you to keep EVERYTHING pertaining to your business in one very organized place.
