Grade schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges all advertise the ratio of students to teachers. This is a huge selling point for academic institutions. Why should it not be the same for internet marketing coaching?

The internet market is saturated with good content. It is starved for good teachers who are available when the student has a issue, problem, or question. Service after the sale, with a smile, is the most difficult task a business encounters. Many times this is the difference between a successful back end campaign and disaster. We’ve all experienced the disaster far to often with, both online, and off line products.

Jeff Johnson has kept the number of students in his coaching club limited for this exact reason. He definitely could mass produce cookie cutter products, sell them to the masses, and move to the next launch. That’s great for the reacher but not for the student.

Look for internet marketers who make this commitment before buying their product.

I actually seen it when the videos was launched.

In my opinion, it is not shocking or surprising. It is just new for new marketers.

Social media was here long time ago. But social marketing going very hot recently. i think maybe marketers started to know its power and start to market related products widely and people started to take count as one the way to generate traffic.

Does it relates to web 2.0? I think not much mentioning about web 2.0 in the videos. There are a lot of buzz about web 2.0 but no one really understand and can give an exact definition on what is it. My opinion about web 2.0 is that you build a relationship with your friends and market your product.

I think social marketing is about this. Make friends and create community and market. The core of this marketing method is relationship. I think for any business out there, relationship is always the core of everything. Without customers, business dies.

It is kinda impressive because the web is starting to had “creative & innovative” ideas that are being put into work. Sites like wordpress, digg, morzilla, facebook are developed by youngsters. I mean, wow . A lot of millionaire are made on every second and their age are becoming younger and younger.

I think the word “ no man is an island” works for human’s entire history. Here is my opinion:

Hindsight – The web last time is just about the web. There are no 2 ways communication . I think this is why they call it web 1.0. Where the lack of 2 ways communication take place.
But if this happen now, chances are the business will die. Faster than ever.

Foresight – This is what will happen in the future. Somebody said web3.0 will be machine operated. I don’t know how true is this but lets share about web 2.0 first. I personally think that it all started when there are sites like social bookmarking and networking. Community based site with high traffic. From web 1.0 to 2.0. The big difference is that there are 2 way communication, such as blogs.

Well, guess what. People are making 6-7 figure per WEEK on social networking site. Check out these resources :

These are so cool man.

The power of social. The opportunities to make money on the Internet are incredible. A lot of Internet marketers have been making bold predictions for what to expect in 2008. In my opinion, having a good foresight is crucial and having a good flexibility os the best strategy one can use for making money on the internet.

Cheers!

Jeff Johnson says:Thanks for the great post on social networking!

The lack of fanfare means even a greater competitive advantage over fellow internet marketers.

I interpret this to mean Jeff is more interested in teaching a group of sophisticated internet marketers, rather than, splash the announcement all over the internet for greed sake.

There is nothing wrong with money, but there is also the element of over exposure.

Jeff strikes a great balance in my opinion.

But Frank also seems to be a master at selling psychology and how to get people to take action.

I’m sure there is a lot to learn inside this product.

Has anybody seen a sneak preview?

Dave Leffler

Will the last person to leave the internet marketing business, please turn off the lights. Yea right.

wait for it…

I accomplished my goal! I wanted to rank HIGHER than http://undergroundconfessions.com somewhere.

I did that at yahoo. I got NUMBER ONE and number four (out of 3,830,000) on clipmarks.com .

I saved a picture of it for you… Check it out here:

I was stoked.

I couldn’t rank higher than the guys on gumtree (on google) with the guy telling the world he had an “Underground confession” (actually “underground” on Londons railway system)…

Interesting stuff.

Thanks Jeff

Dave

Jeff Johnson says: Dude, nobody searches for “underground confessions” , and even if they did it won’t make you money so you shouldn’t be spending your time optimizing for it.

But hey, I know how exciting it can be to rank high for a term for the first time!

After watching “How to double your organic search traffic” video, I was wondering (and maybe I’ll toss this out to anyone) does this technique work with blogs?

For instance, if you have a WordPress blog, do you need to do anything out of the ordinary to get the linking relationship that Andy suggests, or is there a plugin that would help?

Thanks again for the head’s up on this video.

Jeff Johnson says: You could either set up a static page on the same domain as your blog and link to it that way. Or you could create a “page” within worpdress itself and link to it that way.

Not to mention simply linking from one post to another.

But the best way to control the “keyword density” as he suggests is to create a static page and load that up to the same domain as your blog and then link to it from your blog.

Here’s and example of a static page linked to from a post:
