Success Secrets for Today’s Graduates
May 17th, 2012. Filed Under: success tips. Tags: celebration, High School, Wally, website
As I was driving into town the other day I was
reminded about what a special time of year
this is.
First it was the balloons on the trees…
Then it was the extra cars parked outside
the neighbors house…
And then of course the sounds of celebration
and laughter…
I was reminded that for many folks it
is their graduation time.
College, High School, Kindergarten 
As a milestone is achieved around us it’s a
great time to reflect.
For myself it always brings back memories and
the feeling of hope and optimism that I had
when I first stepped out into the world.
When I graduated a long time ago, I lived
in a small town.
The local paper came and took pictures of
us before we walked down the aisle to the
pomp and circumstance, then we listened to
the commencement address by the valedictorian,
the salutatorian and all around everyone’s
smiling faces looked relieved and excited to
be moving onto the next step for their life.
A group of friends and I got together and
held a giant graduation party and much to
my surprise people who I barely even knew
showed up, wishing me well and handing
me checks.
(This may have been the best part of graduation)
Who doesn’t like being handed a check?
Looking back, I smile and chuckle remembering
the great feeling of having a bunch of folks
come out of the blue and hand me a check.
Sounds kinda funny.
However, that’s exactly what it feels like
when you’re running your online business
the right way.
Imagine what a great feeling it would be
to find yourself in the same situation
today, smiling while multiple people happily
send you checks on an almost daily basis
from around the world.
That’s the power of marketing on the Internet.
That’s the power of owning a money generating
website. And that’s the power that you can hold
in your hands by taking the right actions.
Action begins with mindset, and coming from the
right place mentally, emotionally,
and energetically.
Without these points being in alignment, you’ll
continue to struggle and move forward, without
getting results.
When you get these important things in alignment,
opportunities will flow to you like never before.
One of the most profound shifts that I went
through in my own business and life happened
in 2008, when I first came across a little
known but powerful book.
It’s called 101 Ways To Magnetize Money In Any
Economy, and it’s only available here.
Reading it allowed me to create bigger, better
results immediately and it will do the
same for you.

Money In Any Economy, be sure to pay extra attention
to the secret revealed on page 82…it changed
everything for my business and will for yours too.
Old Hickory’s Success Secrets For The Online Entrepreneur
May 11th, 2012. Filed Under: Internet Success, Success Stories. Tags: Andrew Jackson, gumption, Old Hickory, success
Last couple weeks I’ve found myself reading about our
seventh president, Andrew Jackson…a guy that used to be
known as “Old Hickory”.
It’s always fun to go back in time and realize that the more
things change, the more they stay the same. And as I’ve
read more about Old Hickory, I realized that there’s a lot
to be gleaned for entrepreneurial success in the pages of
his story…
Andrew Jackson, even though he was born into poverty,
eventually willed himself to owning a large estate, and
being one of the most influential presidents we ever had.
By the end of his second term, he had basically won every
battle that he ever faced and completely changed the way
things were done in the country for the next generation.
It takes a lot of gumption to go from poverty, then face
up to a british soldier even though you’re 12 years old,
then lead men through battles, and even lose your wife…
yet continue to carry on and find success.
The man may not have found happiness, yet he definitely
found success.
It takes a lot of gumption to be an online enterpreneur.
For Jackson, first and foremost, he was brave.
Multiple times Old Hickory led his men into battle,
or out of harsh conditions, even walking for 40 or more
days straight through terrible conditions to lead his men.
He was optimistic too. He went into his battles, whether
as a war hero or as President, with a gut feeling of
certainty, and of being correct. He thought
independently, and he trusted his instincts about people.
As far as risk taking – even though his opponents thought
of him as a reckless person, he only gambled when he
thought he could win – and when he was certain he could
live with the worst case scenario.
Ever have a friend or loved one think you were crazy for
owning your own business? Or taking risks? That’s what
Andrew Jackson faced too. Doubters.
He carried on.
Most importantly, Jackson got masses of people to get
behind his cause…because his cause was to be their
voice, and to give them what they wanted.
Same thing that you’ll have to do to reach maximum success
as an online business owner. To truly reach your own
potential, you’ll have to get a crowd behind your cause.
When you do, you’ll be lifted up.
To grow to your highest potential as an entrepreneur and
online business owner, all of these old school attributes
from “Old Hickory” are attributes you’d do well to
cultivate.
Be a little more like Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, and
keep on carrying on strong.
Here’s a small sampling of Wally’s Web Stars who are
carrying on strong just like Old Hickory.
Will you be next?

How to get to number 1 on Google if you don’t have any time
May 3rd, 2012. Filed Under: SEO, Search Engine Optimization. Tags: coaching, outsourcing, SEO, website
If you’re an existing client, you’ve heard proven
Search Engine Optimization tips shared on our monthly
coaching calls, and you’ve discovered step by step how to
rank number one on Google and get hoardes of free
traffic going directly to your website.
And even though the actions to take to get ranked
as “numero uno” on Google are simple, and anyone
can do it…the fact of the matter is that they
take a lot of time to implement.
So naturally, we’re always looking for a shortcut.
A way to get the rankings we want yet without doing
SEO all day long.
There are a lot of strategies out there to increase
your rankings without using up a lot of time.
The first one is to hire somebody on one of the
popular outsourcing sites. It always seems like a good
idea at the time. You get somebody “working” for you
for a small fee, and it appears that lots of action
is being taken.
Typically though, your typical third world, third rate
worker won’t work out and you’ll simply have a
lot of headaches.
Then there’s the “use powerful software to overwhelm
the search engines” strategy. This worked for awhile,
and there’s always a new gimick out to take advantage
of a hole in Google’s algorithm.
These are always tempting, because it seems that you
can stay one step ahead of Google forever.
However…
Google is a true force to be reckoned with. And they
don’t appreciate it when folks try to “game” the
system.
In fact, they’ve been really putting the smack down
lately…continually increasing what it takes to
rank number one. And while at first blush that might
seem like a problem, it’s actually a very very good
thing.
Because Google actually tells us exactly how to rank
number one. They spell it out for all to see, right
there on their website. All you have to do is read
their rules, follow their rules, and combine it with
years of proven strategies (like my clients have
done) and bang – you’ve got a number one ranking.
The one thing that we each have in equal amounts is
time in the day. Other than that, it’s up to you.
And when you’re looking to rank number one on google,
get hoardes of free traffic going to your website,
you want to know that you’re doing it right, you’re
staying on the right side of the rules, and most
importantly, that you’re going to stay on the right
side of the rules for years to come.
It’s not for everyone, but business owners who want
to make a modest investment towards consistent, free
Google traffic from now into the future…

page of Google for your top 3 keywords, no

One thing you can do NOW to increase online profits

I laughed to myself, spilling a bit of my coffee on my jeans
as I heard the guy talk.
He was two tables over from me at the coffee shop, and I
couldn’t help but overhear as he said…
“Look at this website. This guy is an idiot. As soon as
you arrive you get a popup box asking for your email address.”
His friend agreed….
“Who is going to stay around on this website? It’s ugly.
Man, I really hate those hover ad things.”
Look and listen around and you’ll hear the same thing.
And for the website owner who is forgetting to collect names,
email addresses, and prospective buyers’ information…
things are bad.
Now maybe you personally hate those email sign up boxes.
Well, guess what?
They’re one of the keys to strategically building your
online business. In fact, they can be one of the biggest
keys and missing links to growing, doubling your business,
and doubling again.
Yet most website owners are chicken.
They’re too afraid of the whiners at the coffee shop to even
experiment with putting one on their site.
It takes guts to get the glory my friend.
There are at least 18 other proven ways to increase your
website profitability in the next 30 days or less.

The other day I had an incredible conversation with my
private coaching group.
Normally I don’t share what we talk about with everyone,
because we talk about some really advanced strategies and
these amazing folks have stepped up to the plate to really go
to the next level.
Quite frankly, not everyone is ready for this level of talk.
However this time we had a breakthrough that was pretty huge
and I believe you’ll really benefit from this as well.
The breakthrough was all about how you see yourself. And it
was all about dreams vs. reality – and then making those
dreams into a reality.
Here’s what we discovered.
So many people out there get bitten by the “Internet
Marketing” bug. They see people who are supposedly spending
all of their time on a beach while cashing checks. No work,
just fun in the sun while raking it in.
Here’s the reality check. First of all, if you think that
there’s a way to sit on the beach all day long while growing
wealthy – grow up.
The real deal is this. Folks who are successful in creating
wealth using the Internet are NOT necessarily internet
marketers. They’re successful “Online Business Owners”.
To be successful in growing your business online, you would
do well to remove the words “internet marketer” from your
vocabulary. Start thinking like a business owner instead…
a successful, wealthy, online business owner.
So which one are you?
Business owners act differently than other people. They
invest in their business, they invest in their development.
They build systems that create leverage. And they often get
amply rewarded with wealth – as they should.
The mental shift here is huge, and it’s something I’ll talk
more about in the near future.

successful online business owner, jump on this opportunity

April 11th, 2012. Filed Under: Traffic Driving. Tags: momentum, systems, Traffic Driving
Early last week our entire family came down with a nasty
cold. You know, the kind that stops you in your tracks and
makes it feel like you can’t think straight, can’t breathe
right, and can’t get anything done.
I’m sure you’ve been there too – it seems like everything
that seemed so important just a couple days earlier gets set
aside, and you just focus on getting better.
Don’t worry, everyone is feeling much better this week yet we
learned a couple lessons along the way.
The biggest reminder was the world doesn’t stop just because
you do. In fact, everything keeps chugging along whether
you’re part of it or not.
So it’s important that your business is built so that things
can keep going even if you’re out for a bit. And that
requires having systems around you.
With systems, you’ll create forward motion that continue to
move you in the right direction even if you’re away for a
little time.
So last week, even though I was away most of the week curled
up in a blanket, because of the systems I have in place I was
able to join a select group of you on a teleseminar, was able
to finish up a website for a customer, and was able to keep
things going in forward motion. That’s the key.
Forward motion creates something that’s really important in
your business. Momentum.
In keeping your Internet Marketing going in a forward
direction and continuing to grow your business, it’s all
about one thing. Momentum.
Without momentum, you’re like the guy who is pushing a big
boulder up a hill. It’s near impossible.
However, after extending yourself and putting in some effort,
once you have a system in place and some help around you, it
becomes easier. A few more people show up to help you push
the boulder. And as you grow and move forward, eventually
you get to the top of the mountain and the boulder starts
rolling downhill with no effort at all. Momentum.
Driving traffic to your website is a huge part of that
momentum, and without it you’re almost destined to fail.
When you’re the guy who’s pushing the rock of up the hill
it’s a tough spot to be in. Good news is there are easy and
painless ways to get momentum this week, next week, and next
month. There is a program that I’ve created for you to get
you that momentum, and it’s available to a few select people.

stuck in the mud just spinning your wheels. Here’s how to
get out of the mud and start cruising.

Spring is a time of rebirth
March 24th, 2012. Filed Under: Direct Marketing, Internet Success. Tags: more sales, rebirth, sales, Wally
This past weekend I took the family to the mountains to see if there was any snow left up there. This year hasn’t really seen a bunch of snow like the past couple years, and it’s actually really dry even at the highest elevations (13,000 feet!).
As we were driving down the highway, we noticed a nice silver new car next to us. Then a surprise – one of our friends who we hadn’t seen in a couple of years was driving it and waving! Really cool. And just one of the small things that happened to make it an incredible weekend.
After checking out the snow we returned to the city and began to notice that the grass is starting to grow, the buds are on the trees, and it’s getting noticeably warmer. Even the beehive is starting to buzz with bees going out and searching for pollen.
Spring is a time of rebirth.
If you haven’t noticed yet, listen tomorrow morning when you wake up, for the birds chirping.
Even if it’s still cold where you live, I reckon you’ll hear some sweet Spring songs from the returning flying feathered friends.
Use this return to remind yourself to live extra rich today.
Richness is not about money or creating more sales. It’s about cultivating the relationships that we have, and the simple things in life. A smile from a good friend. The birds chirping. The smell of the new green grass awakening from the winter slumber.
Getting more sales on the internet can certainly help us get a lot of things in life, but not the really important things.
In the fast paced world, it is often times really hard to remember this. Yet when we slow down, it clarifies things…and truth really hits home. Relationships are what all of your sales are built on, and are truly what’s important in life.
Back in 2004 I began a relationship with a friend and mentor who looked me in the eye and asked me an important question, a question that changed the course of my life forever. In fact, it’s how you and I came to be talking right now.
Here’s the story:

Do You Make These Mistakes With Your Website?
March 21st, 2012. Filed Under: Internet Marketing, Web Design, Website Design. Tags: CTA, sales, the web, website
You wouldn’t know it by cruising around the web, yet there
are a lot of mistakes that almost every website owner makes
which are costing them sales.
Here are the most common ones to avoid:
1. There’s no clear CTA. CTA is “call to action” and if you
don’t ask people to do something once they visit your
site…they’ll just leave. Usually forever.
2. Not asking for the sale. The entire point of your website
is to get people to buy from you – yet most folks are not
bold enough to simply ask for the sale…so they don’t make
any sales.
3. They use terrible headlines. Putting something like
“Welcome to my website” just isn’t going to cut it in this
day and age. You have to capture attentions, and answer the
all important “What’s in it for me?” question for your
visitors.
4. They’re not capturing information. It’s sad but true.
Most website owners are not capturing leads and marketing to
them on a regular basis. When you know that most sales are
made after the 5 through 12th touch, it’s unforgiveable to
miss this.
5. No adding value by writing blog posts and articles that
matter to your audience. This is huge and sets you apart
from the rest of your competition. Start now with a single
post a week and you’ve leapfrogged the majority of the
brochure style website owners out there who are struggling.
These five things are just the tip of the iceberg when it
comes to running a profitable website.
You owe it to your business and to yourself to make sure your
website is a profit pulling machine and that you’re using
Internet Marketing the right way. I’ve written you a short
message here that shows you how to avoid all of these
mistakes and more.
