Now let me preface to all the MLM lovers out there that I’m not against Multi-Level Marketing.
This post is about the endless Matrix Schemes that have been on the web for years, and how they prey on the people desperate to make money online.
I’m just going to tell you a story as an example.
Last week I had a long time friend email me last week to tell me about a new Multi Level Marketing program that was going to be bigger than Facebook, Twitter, even Google.
I should definitely get in right now so I can get at the top of the matrix and let my lists know about this tremendous opportunity..
After all, a Million Millionaires were going to be created with this program. Wow! Does Obama know about this? Maybe the company could get a piece of the stimulus bill.
So as usual, I cringed as I read this because I knew I’d have to respond.
But first, I decided to check out this incredible opportunity to give me some ammo. [click to continue…]

I just got done an hour long P90X workout that revolved around Kenpo Karate. It was a bit easier for me than other P90X workouts because I studied Kenpo for a few years.
Kenpo is also known as “the way of the fist”, because practitioners of Kenpo needed only their fists, and not weapons to fight.
When I was practicing Kenpo I always visualized an opponent in front of me. It enabled me to have much better form and advance much more quickly.
As I was winding down my P90X workout tonight, I realized that this is a Big Secret to Internet Marketing success, but so many newbies don’t do it.
You don’t visualize a Visitor on your site, you just throw a bunch of stuff on your site and hope for the best.
So I just created a new Internet Marketing style -
SIMPO - The Way Of The Visitor
Or….
Simple Internet Marketing Philosophy and Objectives
Or..
Keep it Simpo Stupid
Let’s face it. Most website owners forget the absolute most critical element to their website.
What do they want their visitors to do?
You need to imagine all the different types of visitors who are hitting your site, and drive them to the path that benefits them, and you… the most.
Forget the fancy graphics, forget the super long articles, forget the 2 dozen ads you’ve got all over your site.
Drive them to take one action, and visualize how your visitors view your site and content.
Are they going to be blown away by the value of your content? Or are they leaving in 2 seconds because your site is confusing and unfocused.
The more you think like a visitor, and less like someone whose trying to make $.030 on an Adsense click, the more success you will have.
Next time you’re working on your site think about SIMPO. How can you make your site more user-friendly and drive your visitors to take the action you want them to take..?
By the way, you can get your first SIMPO Belt when you complete my 22 Day Bootcamp! Shipping not included.

I had kind of an interesting epiphany today about a correlation between success in Internet Marketing and getting healthy
Bear with me.. because honestly I’m just rambling here.
Don’t you think most people know some easy ways to lose weight and get healthy?
- Drink Lots of Water
- Exercise Daily
- Stay Away from Junk Food
- Make Healthy Choices
And most internet marketers know the easy ways to increase traffic and get wealthy.
- Get Lots of Quality Backlinks
- Create Quality Original Content Daily
- Provide Value
- Stay Away From Junk Programs and Schemes
- Make Wealthy Choices
The problem that dieters and newbie internet marketers have is discipline and willpower.
You have to commit for the long haul or neither is really worth doing. Stay away from short cuts and “sounds too good to be true” programs..
Just like dieting, with internet marketing you can’t expect long term results by only doing it a few weeks or trying to find the easy way…
It’s a lifestyle change you have to make in order to be successful.
