DAY #646: Working with Wordpress
Now I am about a week into the WORDPRESS switch. It’s a lot of work, but I have the help of an expert who have several years of wordpress experience. At some point it’s best to get help, and that what I’ve done.
Now all three blog sites that are building traffic are setup nearly identically to take advantage of Web 2.0 tools, RSS, Social Networks with bookmarks, and about a dozen other traffic building ideas.
I’ll get back to work. Carpe Diem,

On this category of P31 I’ll link to posts and sites that are about my dreams. Usually, these posts are about a home, which I don’t know where it will get built and a few others that have stirred my mind for a long time.

When people set out to market a product, they stress on a number of factors like appearance of the website, the copy used with it, etc.
However, they miss out on the most important factor that determines whether a product is successful or not – The offer they are making.
Are you offering something that your prospects need? Or, are you selling something totally useless to them?
If they have a need for what you are offering, they will come running to grab it, no matter how the other factors like appearance of the site and the copy vary.
Here are a few things you should consider when you are selling something:
a) Does the prospect need what you are selling?
b) Is the product affordable to him?
c) Are there too many alternatives to this product? Can the prospect do without your product?
d) Are you offering a good value for his money?
These are a few points that need to be checked first.
Then comes the COPY.
When you offer a good product with good copy, you can achieve even bigger sales.
Good copy proves to the prospects that your product is unique and how getting it will solve all their problems.
Good copy appeals to the prospects by saying the right words and eventually makes them pull out their wallets.
If you got a good product, get good copy now.

Perfect way to Monitize Limited Traffic to Your Site
With limited visitor traffic to your site, you’re looking for ways to maximize the value of each visitors. The best way to accomplish that is to have tools, services and applications that help you build cash-flow even when a visitor leaves your web site. The rest of this article helps you explore how to do just that and the perfect organization to work with to accomplish the best revenue model for limited visitors.
Imagine an advertising system that delivers the traffic and online or offline growth that you need based on a FIXED COST AD(TM) model. In this ad model, Entrepreneurs can use various advertising tools while paying a fixed fee for all the traffic generated.
Such a system is a perfect model for any Webmaster or Entrepreneur looking to maximize his/her web site income. What better way to monetize site traffic than to represent a system that’s needed by 100 million small and medium businesses worldwide?
Often advertising systems are paid for “per action” and become very expensive. Consider pay-per-click advertising where the advertiser pays for every “click” of the mouse on the ad leading to a web site visitor. The solution is a membership based ad model and network that is ideal for the 100 million small and home-based business that want to prosper on and off the Internet while cutting costs.
At the heart of the network is a membership that provides vital advertising and marketing tools based on a low-cost monthly membership. These tools, services and applications accomplish the following and are perfect for monetizing your site traffic:
1> Business Portal managed by Representatives. This tool help’s build highly targeted traffic in several ways, including a key word based directory, key word based images that allow sponsors to advertise on high-traffic pages, and the ability of members to have fellow members critique their pages. Additionally, the tools that are part of the network help drive high-targeted visitors to your business online and “thru the door” of a building or your place of business!

3> Mailing List Building & Sending E-Mail Gateway: Send My Info is our mailing list gateway that accomplishes two very important objectives. Firstly, most Internet users are reluctant to subscribe to e-mail lists because their e-mail address can get “hijacked” and sold, rented, shared, etc. Before the subscriber realizes it, their e-mail address is spread to hundreds of mailing lists. Our network protects every address by showing the editors of our mailing list gateway ONLY the summary of their subscribers. Editors CANNOT see individual e-mail addresses. Subscribers can use the system with confidence, increasing the subscriber base.

DAY #23: Building Success
Just a few hours later, but had a great night of sleep. Another thought while I went to sleep -I seem to be managing/updating my blog incorrectly. What I am doing is putting some of my thoughts in the blog and then working on it and reporting the outcome over many gaps in time -sometime days and a few times weeks.
Not good.
On-the-other-hand, what I should be doing is to share *all* of my thoughts regardless of their outrageousness! And do it more often.
Try daily.
In short, my thoughts as well as what I get done should be shared, and often.
OK, that is what I will do from today.
So, what’s in store for today and the rest of the week: I have been making a major update to the world’s first global discount card, the Maxsimo card.
It will have the first P2P commissions payment system, where the network will enable a system that will allow people to join and send payments to their sellers online.
Remember the old days when chain letters were sent via postal mail?
When you got one, you were suppose to put $5 into four (or five -can’t remember exactly) envelopes and send it off to the people who had their names on the “sponsor” list. Then you were to repeat the process and send out a bunch of letters yourself –AFTER putting in your name and address in the “Fifth Spot”. Well, this is similar to that except the product is great and the entire process is electronic and costs virtually nothing to get it going.
The old postal letter process cost a lot for stamps, mailing list, etc. So, if you mailed 500 or a 1000 letters as the scheme suggested, it cost between $200 to $400 getter started. Most people are not going to do that.
Anyway, what most people was put their friends and family in few of the 5 spots and send out letters -perhaps, to a list that was not the best.
The end result between the cheating and less-than-perfect targeting of the advertising campaign was that the process did not work.
Yes, Johnny DID NOT have $100,000 in $5 Lincoln bills hidden in his bedroom closet.
Nevertheless the story sold. And did it sell. There have been millions and millions of these letters that have been sent via the postal services world wide. I don’t have time to research all of this, but I presume that at some part of history a major portion -say about 10% of the postal mail -carried letters such as what you and I’d call a “chain letter”.
My idea is similar, but much more efficient, clean, easy to do and LEGAL. Yes, that is very important, in this day and age. And it would only cost $5 or $10 to get started.
I call it a P2P Commission Payment Process!
Anyway, all of this and more will get going again on the 4th of April. Most of it is ready at this time on maxsimo.com. However, there are some Affiliate issues that have to resolved before the marketing plan is executed.
So, this week maxsimo.com and it’s new marketing plan is a major part of my work.
Secondly and just as importantly, I will be updating the NEXT SuperStock area also. The months of January and February were great for investing. Mostly from Apple Computer options. Now I am on to another selection of great companies to invest in.
Once again, during most of this year I plan to offer some of the services at NEXT SuperStock for free, so, this is the time to take advantage of that and get a membership.
With the right plan investing in stocks are great. But make sure to have a plan, unless one could lose their socks and the short off your back in the process. Not to mention a whole lot more…
However, with a great plan one can do wonders.
The 31-Step Financial Success Plan is taking this into account as I am planning to double the latter steps using stocks and options.
Once again, I’ll talk at length about all of this as I continue the process.
Now all of my processes, actions, failures, etc., etc. seem to be a endless bunch of time wasted you’d think? BUT, not so!
The traffic to the site is steadily climbing. The number of visitors are now from about 50 countries and February had the biggest month of visitors.
All of this was done with some search engine registering, and just about a week ago a GOOGLE “BOT” had visited for the first time. I had registered at google suggest a site way back in November or so last year.
Only now did the busy ‘bot’ get to p31.com and “spider” all of my pages.
There are about 10 other search engines that visit regularly. I think they visit often because I have the word “UPDATE” all over the place with a time ’stamp’ next to it.
That tells these systems (indexing algorithms) that this is a site that is often updated and has content that is relevant to the key words that are found at the META TAGS on the top of the pages.
SO! All the work is paying off, bit by bit, and the visitor count (yes, after reducing those ‘bots’ that visit) is steadily rising.
I have no idea what it will be at the end of the year, but I know at the current pace it is not inaccurate for me to assume that about 1,000 unique visitors per day will be visiting to see what is happening, perhaps, as soon as this summer.
Why do you think I think so?
Well, for one, the biggest problem facing anyone with a business online is traffic. And there are millions –perhaps a 100 million people out there with web pages who are actively seeking ways of getting more visitors. I certainly have done that from time to time. I have visited web pages to see what interesting content they have that is attracting visitors.
Then p31.com can be such a site. Offering a lot of people what they need.
Secondly, I haven’t even mentioned the part about the 31 STEPS. Who in the world would not be interest to hear about a guy, sitting at his computer in some part of the world, and writing about how he used that computer and resources found on the Internet, and some coins found around the house to start a project that took $0.01 and kept building on that, step by step, until it reached a staggering $10,737,000 plus some change?
Yes, I am sure a lot of people will like to read and learn about it.
So, here I am, ‘pluggin’ away and doing just that.
And a word to you out there who have a similar idea -GO FOR IT! There is no better time than “RIGHT NOW” to get your idea going… BUT, what about the KIDS I have to take care of you say? What about my school? What about my wife? I don’t feel good now. I want to wait ’til…
Nope. I’ve had all these problems. I can remember a while back, a year or two out of college, I had to step out of a bus because I was short $0.10 for the fair. The bus fair for COTA (Central Ohio Transit Authority) in Columbus, Ohio had a fair for which I was short $0.10 and thus the driver asked me to step out of the bus at the next stop. I had felt it was tremendously unfair but I graciously stepped out and tucked away the memory as a “burning desire” to build upon one day. I have. I still remember the drivers “OPERATOR ID TAG” with four numbers. But now I can smile thinking about it.
Anyway, even at that time I was working at a company fixing computers. In one summer I fixed so many computers, after that I could build my own pc’s. So now for about 5 generations of new pc’s I have build my own and never needed the help of someone to “fix” my pc.
Still at that time I was learning and planning on ways to build a business and all these plans are in countless notebooks. Now it’s online! Right here…
The reason I shared this with you is to let you know that things were not easy all the time. They were down right very difficult. But, day by day, you have to move forward and sometimes that may feels life going backwards, and the feet don’t carry you so far daily, but keep at it. A crawl will move to a walk and then to a run and then you fly. From Congo to even Columbus, this process is the same. Believe me, I have been there -from the depths of Africa to all parts of America. The process is the same. The vision will lead the way.
Let me make two definitions while the thought is on my mind. Please don’t dismiss this because I am an American and have been blessed to have been from what I call the Greatest, Big Country in the World, but here is the thought:
They are two definitions:
SUCCESS: ONE who theorizes, plans, plans and plans over and over, and then builds and then executes a plan that will lead to greater personal, spiritual and financial success in their lifetime and then is blessed to help others.
FAILURE: One who tried and thinks he/she cannot do it.
Keep these two in mind. As early as in my teens I thought of myself as a success as I kept “developing and crafting” the ideas and plans that have led to successes that I am enjoying now.
Maxsimo.com was thought of at age 18.5 while at my first true job at a hospital pharmacy freshman year at college.
And lastly, remember, even the greats (I think I talked about this a while back) are those who have failed a lot. Consider some one like Babe Ruth (Early baseball great and still perhaps the greatest all-around player) who had an incredible hitting and scoring percentage, also struck often. Well, that is baseball. However, when he did go out, he did so swigging.
And then consider Michael Jordan, who had been trusted with a game winning shot in more than 100 games and 2/3 (two-thirds of the time) missed and lost the game for the Chicago Bulls.
BTW, if I have missed these facts, please let me know and I’ll correct them. I am pretty sure that this is true as I read them at one time or another. Anyway, I have been a baseball fan and a Jordan fan at one time of my life. But, I am not 100% certain of the stats, so, please let me know if I am way off on this…
The only thing I can say about America that differentiates it from many other parts of the world is this: In the great US of A, it is possible to fail a lot and then eventually succeed. In many other parts of the worlds, often many people get “one shot”. But things are changing… very fast. So, keep at it!
’til later. Sam.

DAY #22: Building a Contest
WOW. Just like that a few weeks go by… I did accomplish a lot, but not here.
Not good.
From all the correspondence I have made, no responses so far.
My thoughts now are to proceed with no sponsor or at least have the site sponsor my own creation. Perhaps, that is the best way to proceed.
That leaves the following game plan in place:
1. Kill the product evaluations.
2. Kill the seeking of sponsors.
3. Initiate the CONTEST.
4. Work on distribution of contest related material.
5. Focus on the items that will continue to improve the site and the results.
6. The money will come.
My improved plan I have initiated clearly shows one of the main problems that I have: TIME. Running two other projects –full time businesses and on top of it running p31 and the 31-STEP Financial Success Plan are a handful and I better get the show on the road.
Thus, here is my plan:
A. Get rid of extra work related to p31.
B. Stick to generating traffic with the contest. I also think that will be fun and get a lot of long-term press.
C. Keep the long-term objective of doubling the pennies along the rest of the steps.
Keep improving and revising the plan until I get it right. Anyway, I have gone thru several revisions, but no problem. I’ll keep at it as long as it takes.
Lastly, the progress has been stuck at the same step for a while with five instances. However, as it has happened in the past, I know my wait will payoff shortly. Soon!
More later as I start the week…
Carpe Diem,

DAY #21: Viral Marketing
All of my efforts are moving along in every category! My viral marketing idea for the discount card has really taken off. I feel that the plan will pay off with it’s launch in March.
The Next SuperStock sites also keeps moving along. My Jan. 05 Stock picks are doing well. No one can bat 100% picking stocks, but the name of the game is to pick good stock and don’t lose money with the bad picks. I have stuck to that and kept going.
I am confident that at one point I can take the picks and apply them to the funds that I generate in the 31-Step Financial Success Plan.
Now that take me to where I am with the 31-STEPS.
What I am doing now is sending out email “Proposals” to potential sponsor that I have in mind.
In 2002 and 2003 advertising on the Internet lost favor with many companies. Now it’s coming back.
I aim to take advantage of that and find 10 or 20 sponsors for the site who will pay $X amount –I think I’ll peg that at $1000 for ONE YEAR of advertising, with a 100% money back guarantee.
I also plan to offer that up for bids on E-bay. I will most likely get that ad campaign off next week.
Anyway, I will keep the proposals going out until I have about 10 or 20 advertisers for the site.
I think in the coming month the visitor count to this site will hit well over a million visitors to the site on a regular basis, looking and reading the blog. I’ll present the visitors will several advertisers that “go with flow” of the site.
I have already contacted several and the next step is to advertise a bit to find more.
Just an update for Friday. A good weekend. OUT!
Carpe Diem,
Sam
