Picture this …

A delivery truck pulls up to your doorstep, a man gets out of the truck and hands you your first box of books, then within 60 days of that delivery - that book becomes an international best-seller and sells over 60,000 copies.

I’m about to tell you how you can make that happen for yourself, but first I want you to ask yourself this question…

What would be different in your life if you were a bestselling author?

Think about that for a moment because I’m about to give you private access to a Bestseller Starter Kit – normally $197 – absolutely free to the first 1000 people who grab it this week at:

www.Automatic-Bestseller.com

It explains the same system my friend used to turn his book idea into a bestseller within 60 days… without a list, without any experience, and without any clue where to begin…

His name is Christopher Guerriero, and he’s now an international best selling author, who’s about to spill the beans and let you in on all the insider secrets that helped him sell more than 319,000 copies of his first book in less than a year.

Chris started with no book writing or marketing experience, yet built a system that helped him sell more books in 60 days than most authors sell in a lifetime – and since then he and his clients have used that exact system to build an army of book empires.

Since you know our new book, “Secrets of Online Persuasion,”
will be released by Ingram next month, we thought we’d share the
system that we’re using to complement our book authoring with blogs to generate buzz that our friend Chris gave us access to in order to help us reach Best Seller Status over the next few months.

And now you can do the same!

I watched his video several times, and listened to the audios during our recent plane ride to Baltimore for The Internet Marketing Main Event - taking such voracious notes, I almost missed the meal that came around!

This kit details a system that will boost your credibility, your income, and make you a bestselling author in the process.

I’m not going to waste your time building this man up in your eyes because I’m not the only one who Christopher is allowing to give his Starter Kit away for free, and it’s only available to the first 1000 people who grab a copy.

I can’t believe he is giving this kit away… so we wanted to make sure we shared this link with our friends on our list right away so they could get it free this week.

But you have to get a copy of the ‘Automatic Bestseller Starter Kit’ today – before he closes up this link – which I’m told will be any day now.

Go on over to: www.Automatic-Bestseller.com

God-speed to your book authoring success!

NOTE: Be sure to let us know when you take advantage of his offer by posting a comment below, because we have a few surprise GIFTS for our clients and blog readers who seize the day and grab this private access video for free.

Deborah and John-Paul Micek

P.S. If you have any friends who might be interested in
becoming an author – please do them a favor and send
them this link to this blog post so they can get a copy of the starter kit
before it’s too late. I’ve been given permission to share this link
to all my friends, family and clients. So feel free to link to this post and forward to yours.

Advance Praise for
Secrets of Online Persuasion

Well, things are moving along with our NY publisher for the release of our new book on business blogging, podcasting, and all forms of New Media. Secrets of Online Persuasion has been in their hands for several weeks now and we’re at their mercy for timing. But we’re thrilled to now have the final version of the forward by Dave Lakhani.

If you’re not familiar with Dave, he’s the best selling author of ‘Persuasion: The Art of Getting What You Want’ and ‘Making Marketing Work.’ Here’s Dave’s forward in it’s entirety. (At the end of this post we’ll share how you can download a free excerpt to Secrets of Online Persuasion and get a free subscription to the New Media Marketing Journal.)

Friends; families; relationships; cults; tribes …

They all have one thing in common.

Persuasion.

In today’s rapidly changing marketplace, we all hope to deepen our relationships with people and create a swarm of hungry customers. Or, as the Miceks so aptly demonstrate, we should be creating tribes.

Tribes are unified groups bound together by tradition, common thought, shared beliefs, and a common interpretation of the symbols around them including marketing and advertising messages. They come together for a common purpose – to support and to receive support from one another. They are highly influenced by the other members of the tribe and they exert great influence in the tribe.

But how do you create such a tribe – a connected community that pulls together to support each other and you?

The best answer today is by using social media to build your tribe online. Borders, time, and distance have been erased allowing your customers to communicate nearly as instantly as they experience something – and they do. Secrets of Online Persuasion leads you step-by-step through the process of connecting with others like you and attracting them to you to build a thriving tribe. It teaches you very specific processes of education – two-way interactive communication through multiple channels that allows you to influence members of the tribe.

In today’s instantly connected economy, tribes communicate faster and better than ever before. They sit in the theater and tell their friends via text messaging during the movie not to waste their money, not on the movie or the new restaurant they tried before the show.

The tribe speaks, the movie dies, and so does the restaurant because the word spreads in minutes – not days, weeks, months, or years – minutes.

The same thing happens in every business in the world every day. Consumers speak, trends start, businesses grow – or they are damned – with the click of a mouse or the push of a send button.

In order to succeed today, you must not only understand what your consumers want, but how they find that information, validate it, and make decisions.

This book makes that process predictable, profitable, and easy.

When I wrote my #1 best-selling book, Persuasion: The Art of Getting What You Want, I included one chapter on influencing online. This book doesn’t just blow that chapter out of the water, it expands on the major premise of the chapter in ways I should have, but never would have. And, the reason I wouldn’t have is quite simple. Deborah and John-Paul live and breathe online influence every day. They are in the trenches developing, testing, and implementing for their clients, and this book is filled with the result of that labor. It is a playbook for any businessperson who is serious about attracting, building a relationship, and influencing the most valuable customers in the market today – all the while gently leading them, no, compelling them to join, to take part, to participate.

Loyalty is dead. It harks back to a construct where people are forced through limitation, availability, and lack of information to stay connected with a brand. That kind of experience no longer exists precisely because of the Internet. Tribethink and Tribespeak now rules the day.

Tribal relationships are the customer loyalty of our age and you are about to embark on the best education you can get on exactly how to turn your customers, your fans, your following, into a connected, supportive community with you at the center. And, you are going to profit from it for decades to come.

Don’t just read this book; take action; study the book; implement the ideas and you’ll profit immediately.

By reading this book and taking action, you’re joining a tribe of enlightened marketers, marketers who’ll share with you, educate you, and learn from you. You are now part of a living, breathing, marketing organism that is growing and changing. You hold in your hands the tools to succeed.

Welcome to the tribe of online persuaders.

Read on to find out what to do next.

I probably should have posted this notice sooner, but Deb and I have been putting in 16-hour days for the last two weeks getting our revised manuscript to our publisher to meet Ingram’s deadline for September distribution. Obviously updates here at Advanced Business Blogging have been on hold since complete creative focus has had to be given to the book and our NY publisher. For those of you who have been emailing us about what’s going on, I apologize for not letting you guys know at the beginning of this cycle.

We’ll be all wrapped up this week and the final manuscript for Secrets of Online Persuasion, along with the ultimate publication date of the book, will be in the hands of our NY Publisher and Ingram. Advanced Business Blogging should be back up on a regular schedule starting on July 10th.

BTW — we got the final cover from the publisher’s graphic designer last week, so for those of you who emailed us about that, or have been asking on the blog coaching calls — here it is.

Hi ho! Back to work I go! (yeah… I’m a happy little dwarf :D)

See you next week!

Aloha!

In part one of this article, we looked at how dangerous copyright infringement and content theft on the web can be. I also shared three “proactive” steps you can take to help prevent those little buggers from violating your copyright. But now that you know how damaging blog scraping and content theft can be to your search engine ranking and reputation, you’re probably asking — “what do I do if my blog content is stolen?”

Well, today in part two I’ll share three steps you can take if someone does scrape your content or otherwise infringe on your copyrighted material.

Having these action steps in reserve is vital for not only protecting you and your business. But taking the right legal action can help to stem the tide of content theft overall. One of the reasons why these spammers and sploggers continue to aggressively scrape and steal content is because they think they’re getting away with it.

And unfortunately, they’re right for thinking that.

Sadly most business owners (bloggers or not) and even legit marketers and sales professionals don’t take any action when they see their copyrighted material appear on other sites. In many cases it’s because they think there’s nothing they can do.

But now, with what I’m about to share — you’ll see how easy it really can be to fight back. With the following steps you’ll be ready to help make it painful for those #@&%*! content thieves.

Just a reminder as I mentioned in part one — I’m not an attorney. And I don’t play one on TV either. The three reactive steps I share below are legal in the US, and they do work. But if you’re not comfortable with taking these steps on your own, or if you want to bring the full force of the law down on the offending party, consult an attorney. If you’re using your business blog to market, author a book, or create a product it’s worth a couple hundred dollars talk to an attorney.

Now, here are the three steps you can take AFTER your content has been stolen. (more…)

With more and more blog scrapers being used to create splogs (definition), it’s important to take steps to protect original content on your business blog. When your hard work and original articles appear elsewhere, it can do serious damage to you, your reputation, and your search engine ranking.

In this two-part article I’ll share six simple steps you can take to:

• stop the theft of your business blog content
• protect your reputation
• and guard your search engine rankings

Plus I’ll share two low cost legal responses you can take it that protection is violated.

The buzz about blog content theft

This morning as I was scanning my FeedDemon categories before heading out to Sunset beach, I saw what has to be about the 30th post I’ve read on content theft and copyright violation in the last month. The one I read today was by Ausie blogger Yaro Starak.

Content theft and copyright infringement on the web is a topic that’s becoming more serious with each passing week. It may not be a major issue for personal users, but the ramifications for business owners can be dire. Since we’ve given our business blog coaching clients detailed answers on how to deal with the growing problem. And since the authors in the special course we’re doing for our New York publisher Morgan James, have gotten even more customized solutions — I thought it would be good to share six GENERAL steps as guidelines.

Why am I emphasizing “general”?

I only mention this because we really are entering into a legal realm here. How far you go with (or beyond) any of the steps below will vary based on your business, your blog strategy, and what the intended end-use of your blog content is. I’m not an attorney,and I don’t even play one on television — so if you’re using your business blog to market, author a book, or create a product — invest a few hundred bucks and talk to an attorney.

OK, now that we’ve got the out of the way.

Before we get to the six steps, let’s make sure it’s clear why blog content theft and copyright infringement can quickly become a serious problem for you and your business.

How the theft of your blog content can damage you and your business

The majority of the content theft is not being done by human beings. It’s being done with software called (more…)

Bonus Class #2 held on May 24, 2006

Get the updated New Media Marketing Matrix Maps and eavesdrop on the continued conversation in the comments section by students who participated in the Bonus Class #2 on: “How to Get Tons of Free Publicity and BUZZ Marketing with Blogs, Podcasts, and Other New Media Tools”

You’ll see in the comments section of that original post that we highly recommended our students to pick up 3 books by authors we know, love and respect during the TeleClass - and we thought it was so important that we wanted to summarize these recommendations for you in this new post.

For your convenience we even included the link to Amazon where you can pick up each book:

1. An Army of Davids by Glenn Reynolds, How Markets and Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths

Love, Love LOVE this book! It’s a quick read, and a page turner for the small business owner looking to get the edge up over big corporations using blogs, podcasts and other new media tools.

2. The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors And Closing Deals Online written by our good friend Scott Allen and David Teten.

If you’ve spent any time at all networking online, then you’re already familiar with Scott Allen. He’s one of the best examples of someone who knows how to network using social and business networks, and his book is one of the most detailed account giving you the history of how New Media first got its start. For those of you who’ve asked us what other social networks are out there - just grab his book, and they’re all in there!

You can even get a free download copy of The Virtual Handshake here. Although if you’re a real book lover like I am, you’ll also want to pick up the book so you can highlight sections, take notes, and bring to the beach. The free download version is great to review while you’re waiting for your physical book to arrive from Amazon.

3. The Next Millionaires by Economist/Entrepreneur, Paul Zane Pilzer.

Simon, one of the participating students, recommended this book in class, and commented, “Another great book that discusses the philosophy of how the ‘little guy’ has the advantage today is ‘The Next Millionaires’ by Paul Zane Pilzer.”

“The Next Millionaires explains in detail why the 21st century will be known as the age of the entrepreneur, and how you can stake your claim to being one of these next 10 million millionaires–” Pilzer

Here’s the original blog post on New Media where you can continue in the conversation, and make book recommendations of your own to other books on New Media and the next Age of Communication - staked in favor of the small business owner.
