  Another great case study.

• 2 Daniel // Dec 2, 2008 at 10:58 pm

  Jeff,

  Thanks for the information and a great write up… Question …. What does it take to just make $50 to $100 dollars a day without the cost of PPC as I have tried everything and all are dead end Ebooks as really they all are or just have half the story and thus are a rip off and nothing but more BS HYPE…. Looking forward to your answer if you have one because none of the big boys have answered me yet and all they try to do is sell me more BS HYPE or give me some more free BS…. LOL …. Well give it a shot and Thanks….
  Daniel…

  Jeff Johnson says: The best way to do that is create your own product and sell it through affiliates. I cover that quite a bit.

  The other way is to create a few niche blogs in high paying keyword niches and post to them non-stop every day creating new content for the search engines and to attract visitors.

  Not nearly as hard as it sounds.

  I’m so discouraged! Every time I hear that someone has made 1000, 5000, 70,000…….in a short time….I saw that 22 year old girl on You Tube who makes over $107,000 a month! I know another girl who makes over $400,000 a year in Mona Vie!
  Here I’m starving..unemployed painter…..broke musician………….I can work all day for weeks and not get anything….not one email….not one call….nothing.
  I may be the perfect guy to use for a test or a example of what can be done……….or can it be done….?
  I’ve spent 16 hours marketing the other day!!….10 years of learning ! Maybe I don’t have the marketing sense!
  At the beginning I wrote an ad and made sales….
  maybe I made $250 a month………but nowadays I just don’t understand…..I really don’t get it.
  Aaaah well!

  The best part… because of their success she didn’t have to go back to work… she gets to stay home with her babies and enjoy life

• 5 Kristie // Dec 2, 2008 at 11:36 pm

  Really interesting case study. Would like to explore more details in the freebie. Thanks, Jeff!

• 6 David // Dec 2, 2008 at 11:41 pm

  Help!!!

  Tried to download the FREE seoblog software!

  I get this message….
  Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

  How can I get around this?

  Jeff Johnson says: Just tell it to let you continue.

  The password and username are not unique to you so you really don’t need to protect them.

• 7 Kendrick // Dec 2, 2008 at 11:43 pm

  Is there a transcript somewhere I can read in PDF? I am deaf. I could not be able to hear it. Thanks!

  Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, we don’t have the transcripts and they normally take a week or more to prepare, so we don’t request them for everything.

  We do provide written instructions, transcripts, and process sheets in the club but not for everything so there would be some huge gaps in your training if you can’t listen to the audios and videos.

• 8 Your Life Regained // Dec 2, 2008 at 11:52 pm

  Very inspiring!

• 9 Potato Richardson // Dec 2, 2008 at 11:53 pm

  OK What now?
  I don’t even know what a fdp is. This guy made 70 k in the first 7 days after launch, but how many days did it take him from starting to launch?

  Jeff Johnson says: As long as it takes you to create a product, or pay some one to create it.

  Could be a week, could be a month, could be a year.

  It all depends on the person and the product.

• 10 Lucinda // Dec 3, 2008 at 1:01 am

  This is exactly the kind of motivation that I need to hear. Sometimes I feel like there is no way that I can ever reach my goal of making a full time living online, but stories like this one keep me working toward my goal.

  Thanks so much,
  Lucinda

• 11 Rika Susan's Flooring News // Dec 3, 2008 at 1:37 am

  More inspiration to help us to keep on going… Thanks Jeff. I really don’t need to make 70k in 7 days to be OK. Just a fraction of that will be fine. When I hear about friends in office jobs who have been waiting for five years to get a raise, I am very grateful that I am in this business where I can ‘manufacture’ my own raise!

• 12 Elliot // Dec 3, 2008 at 2:04 am

  Great testimonial for the skeptics. Following your teachings continue to inspire. As the expression says, If you believe you can, then you can. Thanks.

• 13 Abdul // Dec 3, 2008 at 2:22 am

  Are you selling this software or what you said its free downdown but that never happen
  
  Jeff Johnson says: Here’s all you need to do to get the free software:

  Click the bright orange button.

  SIgn up for the list.

  Confrim your request to be on the list.

  once you confirme the download link and tutorials will be sent to you.

• 14 James Ramsay // Dec 3, 2008 at 2:35 am

  Great info. All practical tips that work when implemented correctly.

• 15 Peter // Dec 3, 2008 at 2:35 am

  Great tip on the optin page vs. optin box.. i’m going to use that one for sure!

• 16 Robert Kennedy // Dec 3, 2008 at 2:55 am

  Ok if they can do it, I should be able to make 140 k in 3 days. Somehow I doubt it though. I have created my own ebooks, built a list, built a membership site, write on blogs daily, promote affiliates, do all the seo I can think of and I have not even come close to any of those figures. Everything I do is far from perfect, but I would think that after all the work I have made, and all the advice I have followed I should be a internet marketing Rock Star. I still think it is a manner of time, but until I see some decent results I am not spending a dime on any product.

• 17 Terrance Charles // Dec 3, 2008 at 4:52 am

  That’s impressive Jeff… That’s the power of internet marketing, going to $70,000 in 7 days.

  Sometimes you just have to be desperate to really take control and take action, when you have nothing to lose, that’s when you’ll really try to make it work…

  Hi Jeff,

  Some brilliant take-aways & nuggets of gold in that interview.

  I 100% agree with you on the information overload points you make. I have been through the same and got daunted with all the information.

  Fortunately have learnt to ‘clear the decks’ and follow cearly defined steps.

  I am just about to launch my STEP BY STEP FX training course, so let’s see if I can implement a number of the techniques you lay out.

  I’ll keep you posted on developments & my success.

  Thanks for all the really greta info.

  Again, to all your readers, you absolutely need a clear step by step plan to follow. Mess around with some new ideas, them develop a process map for how to handle etc. Means once you understand, you then then delegate to someone else.

  I have spent a lot of time learning, now starting to realise what is & isn’t important. So focus on good stuff & get other people to do … looking forward to getting to that.

  Jeff, as you probably all too well understand, it is like trading. Have a plan!

  Cheers,

  Ron

• 19 ben barroga // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:03 am

  Hi Jeff

  I am looking forward to purchasing your product.

  Just a question… there is a ton of stuff on your blog right now, do i need to get through the blog
  content before I purchase your product? Or is everything included in the product itself?

  Thanks …

  Jeff Johnson says: the info on the blog is not even close to what is in the my private coaching club.

  ANd the private coaching club is organized to take you through it step by step.

  Not to mention access to me and my staff in the club to help you when you get stuck.

  Much easier to follow, and much more comprehensive.

  Ben

• 20 Melissa Miller // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:08 am

  I think a very important factor is picking a unique topic or a topic that you can bring fresh material to when creating an information product. Also, a big hurdle is just getting started! Don’t you agree, Jeff? It’s getting up early before the kids or before you go to work (or both) and just starting. Who cares about spelling and grammar at first–you can always fix those later or hire someone or have a teacher friend look over your book for you before distributing. Just start writing in manageable chunks each day and it will get done!

• 21 Alan Clark // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:16 am

  Well,

  I just got up out of bed, got your email about this audio and listened to it whilst having breakfast.
  I try to listen to or watch a video to do with marketing online every day when I get up.

  Stories like this are pure gold dust to me.

  Motivation is VERY high right now!

  Time to get to work!!!!

  Cheers

• 22 Bakugan Battle Brawlers Pack // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:21 am

  I’ve used other seo optimised blog template and got good results with google. This seo optimised blog seems to be working well. I’ve downloaded your software. Time to put it to work…

• 23 Alan Clark // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:21 am

  I meant to say,

  Michael Cheney pointed me in your direction. Between him, you and another couple of guys, I have went from knowing nothing to being very knowledgable. Great feeling to KNOW that if you keep copying those that are successful, learning and putting into action, that money will start coming faster and faster.

  Also, I had a low spell recently where I lost focus. Wasn’t getting the results I was looking for. A change in mindset sorted this out though.

  I felt I had failed, but all of a sudden I realised that I hadn’t failed. I now had a head start from the last time I tried. I would never be starting from scratch again.

  Thanks Jeff, you can probably tell I’m buzzing the now, lets make some cash.

  Thanks for the emails.

  Alan

• 24 T // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:48 am

  Im as new as they get.

  -You suggest selling as an affilate, (amazon)
  what do I start with?
  program? what would be my monthly cost?

  ..just to get me off the ground and bring in a few bucks a month, then pursue some more respectable money.

  -In input woould be great, Thanks Jeff!

  Jeff Johnson says: All you need is a site or profile page to put your affiiate links on, or distribute free articles so that’s less than $10.

  I started out spending less than $200 a month and earning a steady 5 figure monthly income a matter of 5 or 6 months.

  ANything is possible, including failure.

  But if you work smart you’ll be able to start for less than $100 a month (to cover hosting, autoresponders, etc)

• 25 Gerald Jimenez // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:48 am

  Thank you Jeff, not only was it inspiring but I can see some of the areas where we could do some more work.

  Thank you

  Gerald

• 26 Clive Praed // Dec 3, 2008 at 8:29 am

  To smilinsteve - you are the average.

  This is not inspiring - it’s hype.

  Don’t worry - all of these “case studies” are fake and just to con you into buying.

  This “complete newbie” can use Camtasia, can use Powerpoint, knows all about using videos and social marketing, rotating banners (where did they come from?), split testing (that’s VERY advanced for a complete newbie).

  Some fools will believe this - this guy sounds like a very experienced snake oil salesman.

  I’ve been selling over 4 years and I can’t do any of that stuff.

  My sales, this year, are less than $4. I have had 2 signups, though.

  Mind you, I only have 4 websites and 2 blogs.

  Mind you, nobody on my list has ever bought anything - people on lists only want freebies.

  Jeff Johnson says: Wow… you are really jaded. I’m sorry for whatever has caused you to be this way.

  I have multiple lists with people who sign up for free stuff… and I’ve always been able to make money with them…. to the tune of millions. And no… not all of them are in the learn internet marketing markets.

  And I have helped hundreds of people just like you make good livings, sometimes great livings, on the net.

  And the stories are true… or else I wouldn’t print them.

  BUt then again.. I can tell you have already formed your opinion long before you met me… so not much I can do to help you. Sorry.

  You’d be wasting your time in my club.

• 27 Pat Gunning // Dec 3, 2008 at 8:32 am

  Impressive stats! Terrific coaching Jeff… this is coming from two long time internet business coaches…

• 28 Ian Seth // Dec 3, 2008 at 9:45 am

  Hi, Jeff. This call is really interesting because Your student had a lot of success in a really competitive niche.

  When talking about niches often times I hear that it’s not a good idea to go into the Internet marketing niche because there’s a lot of competition.
  On the other hand there are lot’s of people getting into the I.M. niche everyday that do not know anything about the market.
  I mean, they do not know You or Reese or Kern and so it’s seems to me that there’s space for everybody even though it would be very hard to compete on SEO and stuff.

  What are your thoughts on that?
  Should we advise anyone to go into that market or not?

  I’m currently in the process of building my list by giving away 3 good quality videos on my optin page here:
  http://www.onlinemarketingsafepath.com

  And what if I like to create the content and products? Should I still ghost write it so I can concentrate on the marketing side?
  Hope You see this…
  Thanks.

  Jeff Johnson says: Plenty of room in any market to compete. .. whether you can do it effectively or make money is another story.

  ghost writing is a great idea.

  marketing is the most important part of our jobs, content creation can be farmed out for most markets.

• 29 Chris // Dec 3, 2008 at 10:06 am

  OK it’s time to call them on thing like this. way is it all way some one like this? it’s never any one with a simple life. you know some like this ” a single mom with 3 kids no job and home less, but she made $5,000 a day”. this is a load of crap.

  Jeff Johnson says: I have hundreds of testimonials and success stories… I’m sure there are plenty like you are describing.

  FYI, I had a great, simple life when I started on the net… and I enjoy evey minute of my new one on the net

• 30 Scott Stroud // Dec 3, 2008 at 10:07 am

  Jeff - Thanks for sharing the real-life case study with us. It inspired me to believe that I can do this, too.
  2 qestions: First, I have a ton of audio and video sales training materials for the housing industry; will you program work to help me sell this top-shelf content?
  Second, what equipment did you use to record this interview? It sounded great!

  Thanks,

  Jeff Johnson says: Yes, if you have the content you can sell it… I met a few guys at a special JV deal a few weeks ago that sell millions of real estate via the internet.

  The equipment I use is higher-end for the screen captures and telephone stuff.. but our wireless mic broke for the holiday updates.. so it was a total echo-chamber.

  I use the edirol ua-25, digital inkeeper, and a AT 3035 mic for in-house recordings.

  Potash, Mulligan and a few other guys turned me on to them years ago when I was getting started.

  I step most of it down to 22k, 16bit mono for web delivery.

• 31 Jeremy Nelms // Dec 3, 2008 at 10:39 am

  I can’t download it all it shows is weird swirling colorful designs. Maybe that’s it you hypnotize us into thinking successfully. 4 yrs ago when I started with my ebay store I made more than I do now. There is so much competition out there I work my tushy off to barely break even it’s not worth it to me. I wish I could sell it but no one want to start with an inventory the size I have acquired..Discouraged!

  You know the old saying if it sounds to good to be true, well that’s how these article make me feel. And all the help you want just wants you to buy more of there stuff on how to sell or make money(what do they sell beside the information) they tell you to buy this and that but you have to have some money to start with. I don’t want to be rich, I am disabled from pain 24/7 and just want to help with all the debt we acquired when my hubby lost his job after 28 yrs. I won’t go into anymore it’s a long story and this ahas already gotten to long!

  Jeff Johnson says: The key is stop buying and start applying… execution.

  Hey Jeff,

  I enjoyed listening to this case study audio. It was motivational and informative.

  And, although I’m currently using WordPress (WP), I downloaded your Free SEO Blog Software. I don’t know if I’ll switch or not, because I’m very familiar with WP already, but I will at least check it out, along with your WP tutorials.

  Thanks for everything and have a great, blessed day.

  Regards,

  Please help me.

  Jeff Johnson says: I really don’t know what to say. Please look around the blog and pick an area that interests you and start working towards a achieving your goal.

  The videos about “how to create your very own info product” are a great place to start.

  And the blog software really does work.

  sign up as an affiiliate with amazon, pick a market, and build a blog to get started… that’s how I got my start.. building sites for affiiate programs and learning from my experience of building and promoting.

• 38 Michelle Jackson // Dec 3, 2008 at 9:55 pm

  This is awesome stuff , great learning

• 39 Yuri // Dec 3, 2008 at 10:08 pm

  That looked like Alwyn Cosgrove to me. Who did you interview?

  Not a typical newbie example I’m afraid.

  jeff Johnson says: Did you see the hundreds of positive “made money, worked great, got listed in 2hours” comments on this blog?

  You sould also check out the testimonials page and the sales page… tons of 1k, 3k etc examples of success stories.

• 40 Deb Luttrell // Dec 3, 2008 at 11:06 pm

  I posted a comment and it has not been moderated. What’s the deal? I posted it before some of these that are showing. Seems to me there needs to be trust built here and not posting comments does not build much trust.

  Anthony Montalbano says: Sorry we did not get to your first comment earlier. Jeff and I are both moderating comments, but I assure you, we are reading all of them. There’s a lot that are coming in and we do appreciate your words and feedback. I actually just responded to your last comment. We’re really busy make sure everything is ready for tomorrow

• 41 Michael // Dec 3, 2008 at 11:23 pm

  I would say that over the past 10 years I would have wasted close to $15,000 on systems and programs from so-called internet gurus. All of them had case studies and told us that we had been scammed before and their system was different etc etc. Many of those guys are still pumping out the same crap in a different box today. What makes this any different?

  Jeff Johnson says: I’ve been running my online coaching club continuously for 3 years this month.

  The big difference is that this is my club, and not someone else’s.

  There’s a 30 day money back guarantee. If it’s not right for you, simply quit.

• 42 Venkatesh Iyer // Dec 4, 2008 at 12:14 am

  Sir I have been doing Online Advertising for the last 3-4 years. I have my blog with affiliate products. I have tried in Google Adwords but ended up paying for the number of clicks but with out getting any sales. I have tried with social bookmarking also but with not much success. Now I am trying writing articles for affiliate products. Kindly guide me how this can be done effectively. I reside in India.

  Jeff Johnson says: Jason Potash has a great training program for article marketing, and a great piece of article spinning software. Here’s my link… Content Composer.. we use it to train our article people.

  Thanks to technology ‘coz there are new and different ways on how to earn online.

• 44 Michael McQueen // Dec 4, 2008 at 5:13 am

  Thanks for the great recording.

  In the recording he mentioned something about when he makes a post to put a H1 link with 3 or 4 main keywords heading to you main page.

  Could you give me a little more info on how to do this?
  ex. When he makes the post, he just goes below his post with the keyword links all included in the post.
  I know how to make a link but how do you do the H1 link he was talking about?

  Thanks for the great information.

  Michael

  Jeff Johnson says: Simply use
  

  link goes here

  but if your css doesn’t make the h1 appear smaller in the browser you have a problem…. too large.

  Try
  

  and
  

  tags, too.

  A regular link will work, too.

  Great job done by you and your program in training a newbie. Everyone can learn IF they have the desire and the proper training.

  It takes the right mindset coupled with the training to take action and achieve success instead of failure in anything.

• 52 Thomas // Dec 14, 2008 at 8:38 pm

  Dear Jeff,
  I collected all your e-mails, but I’m a bit behind reading and watching them. Please leave all your stuff on your Sites available, to not have the feeling, to have already missed something. On this page is your MP3 Player and your “Case Study” but it doesn’t work anymore.
  Do you have some other “open place”, where all these things for Underground Traininglab are all maybe together available ? If all these things were on one page - videos, pdf’s and other,
  it would be much more easy. Thanks.
  Much love, Thomas
