Rags To Dot Com Riches Review

Ian Del Carmen’s latest masterpiece is currently a very hot item
on the internet market place. Why?

Because this creation is about the true success stories of some
of the best known common people like you and me that succeeded
in making good money from the internet.

The title “Rags To Dot Com Riches” is no accident. These are real
life account of how these people make it to the top.

You’ll learn so much from the success stories of:

John Delavera

John Delavera is known for his Internet marketing inventions and
innovations. His analytical mind and viral marketing strategies
have helped many exceed their Internet marketing goals and
expectations. His skills and his business acumen has also been
successfully applied to the creation of popular marketing products
such as the first-ever One-Time Offer script and strategy, the
Dynamic Pricing Generator, the Turbo Referer and the JVManager.
Among other things, he is also the editor of the TurboZine, the
Best Seller Ebook and the Together Project. (Read more on page 6)

Jeffrey Levesque

For a man who’s been building things nearly all his life, it only
made sense for Jeffrey Levesque to turn to constructing in his
Internet marketing endeavors when an accident removed him from this
then current construction job.

Broke and clueless about Internet marketing, Jeffrey eagerly
awaited the arrival of a $697 home study course that would open his
eyes and change his life - for the better. In 1997, he started his
first Internet Mall. Later, merging his love for building with the
mechanics of setting up affiliate systems, Jeffrey soon became
known as the “Affiliate Mechanic”. (Read more on page 14)

Paul Ponna

Paul was hesitant at first to write an eBook, having doubts if
people would buy it, but conquering his fear leads him to more
“unexpected” success. From selling public domain material on eBay
to creating an ebook on how to do it, Paul Ponna had his first
six-figure launch in 2007.

He went on to successfully launch a software created to automate
the delivery of a physical CD after eBay banned the selling of
digital products, and had earned six figures within one month of
its release.

How did he do it? (Read more on page 22)

Reed Floren

Reed Floren is no stranger to struggle. His family lived off credit
cards, bought from garage sales and other thrifty shopping venues
for over a year when his dad lost his job with the state. What
followed was more hardship which took so much time of Reed’s father
that he never really got a chance to bond with his dad.

When Reed was in seventh grade, his school introduced an
alternative type of education…and that’s where Reed first
discovered the Internet. When he was at school, he made money in
other useful and creative ways as well, buying things cheap (often
with his parents’ money!) and selling them to his classmates with a
generous mark-up, which meant he was making 100% pure profit. Reed
even loaned some of his classmates money to be paid back with
interest - interest that doubled every day. (Read more on page 29)

Edmund Loh

Trying to make up for the failures of his father and provide for
what remains of his family, Edmund Loh started Internet Marketing
in 2005. Now a Private Label Rights expert, Edmund started in
poverty, driven to succeed and rise above being poor. Helping his
mother achieve her dream of someday seeing the world, Edmund
continues to work hard on his success…and he unabashedly admits
his mom is the woman behind his success.

Edmund Loh’s life today is completely opposite what it was just
five short years ago. He struggled in finishing school and
experienced setbacks on his first online business…but his
determination and hard work catapulted him to success. Declaring
war on poverty, working smarter, and focusing on how he could help
others were the forces that drove Edmund to achieve success,
allowing him to become debt-free in the same year he started his
on-line business and it continues to prosper today… (Read more on

Brian Garvin

Brian Garvin suffered a medical condition that not only jeopardized
his health but his finances as well. However, Brian rose to the
challenge and, through a simple search in the Internet, got him to
where he is right now.

Life’s thrown Brian a number of curve balls, like getting into
trouble at sixteen, and coming home from Saudi Arabia on medical
discharge due to excruciating pain. The condition certainly changed
his life.

Not wanting to end up like some of the beggars he’d seen around
town, Brian hit the Internet, looking for ways to add to his paltry
income. A step at a time, he learned to build an email list,
learned affiliate marketing, and soon made a name for himself in
Internet Marketing, making over $150,000 a year online. (Read more

Kevin Riley

As far as “recipes for online success” go, Kevin Riley created his
own; several of them, in fact. Having moved to a country far from
where he came from, Kevin’s success moved closer to him through
Internet marketing.

Though he’d left his money behind when he moved to Japan, it didn’t
take Kevin long to recoup his losses. One “a-ha!” moment and a
burst of creativity were all that was needed to bring Kevin back to
the top of the income-producing chain.

With a decent product line, a sleek but simple set of “IM Recipes”
and a great reputation for charging less and delivering more,
Kevin’s company Product Creation Labs took off. (Read more on page

Rachel Rofe

Each day Rachel spent in her offline job was filled with the misery
of long hours and very little to no time for just plain living
life. She ended up hating the job…and even herself…for a time.
Feeling trapped, more or less, Rachel “took the plunge” and went
online-for better or worse.

Liberated from the world of retail drudgery, Rachel traded in her
old, misery inducing job for $500-$800 income producing days online
without a backward glance. Then through the world of seminars, she
discovered “copywriting” , “membership sites”, and affiliate
sites…which began to bring in more money for her than her old job
ever had.

Rachel eventually was able to cultivate more relationships with
future business partners begun through meetings at marketing
seminars by leveraging her copywriting skills in exchange for
others promoting her products to their lists. (Read more on page 48)

Stephanie Mulac

Stephanie and her husband’s online endeavors were really an
extension of what they were already doing - but burn-out led
Stephanie to begin experimenting with building websites and selling
digital and affiliate products for herself.

At the time, her husband Greg was on “night shift” which meant
there were very few hours to spend together as a “family”. And
holidays were worse. It was during a particularly grueling holiday
season, with Greg forcing himself to stay awake long hours (due to
his nighttime work hours) in order to spend time with family for
holiday dinners and gatherings that Greg and Stephanie decided
enough was enough. It was time for Greg to be home with them; time
for him to quit his job and go online full time.

So they created a “plan” they thought was great, until their
daughters proved them otherwise. Greg was able to quit his job in
an astonishing six months rather than the two years they had
planned…all because of something pointed out to them about their
expectancies by their daughter. (Read more on page 54)

Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian

Purpose, passion, and persistence are words that absolutely
describe the driving principles behind Dr. Mani’s success online.
His long-ago promise to himself to not accept children dying
coupled with his mission to do anything within his power to prevent
the death of a child has fueled Dr. Mani’s career as an Internet
infopreneur.

The children’s heart surgeon with a great big heart, Dr. Mani
Sivasubramanian is also an eBusiness mentor and a coach. He ranks
among the world’s top 50 online marketers and profits from his
Internet Marketing businesses go toward helping to pay for
surgeries for children born with various heart problems - surgeries
their parents would otherwise be unable to afford.

By offering eBooks, courses, training programs and services to
small business owners, home business owners, and the work-at-home
crowd, providing them a number of ways to earn money (or more
money) online, Dr. Mani is able to raise more funds for surgeries
to help save the lives of children with congenital heart defects.

Willie Crawford

One of today’s leading experts in the Internet Marketing field,
Willie Crawford started out just like many of us - poor. But Willie
always had a driving need to escape the cruel hand of poverty and
establish his own business.

Willie has served in the Air Force, created many info-products,
speaks at and hosts multiple seminars across the globe and hosts
his own radio show. With over 1600 websites to his credit today,
Willie has definitely come a long way from his roots as a poor boy
living on a North Carolina tobacco farm.

Having learned about Niche Marketing, reading email newsletters
while flying for the Air Force, Willie started his Internet
Marketing business in 1996. When he retired from the Air Force in
2003, he’d already built his Internet Marketing business so big it
yielded a six-figure part-time income. His first success? (Read

What The Heck Is Mega Red Packet??

I’ve just signed up for the Video Lounge access at Mega Red Packet and before I forget, I am writing in to tell you this.

Vince Tan, Edmund Loh and Stephen Luc are teaming up to release the Mega Red Packet on 4th May 2009. In case you’ve not heard of these dynamic trio here’s a quick background on them…

Vince Tan is a World Internet Summit speaker and the same man who pulled off the Biggest Firesale event in Year 2008 which broke the 6 figure record in just 3 days and then brought in $170,000 in only 10 days.

If you use Private Label Rights products often for your Internet Business then I suppose Edmund Loh doesn’t need an introduction; he’s the person behind more than 260 Private Label Rights titles under the PLRGold brand. Just late last year, he teamed up with expert video maker Stephen Luc to pull off a product launch called PLRGold: Videos and raked in $100,000 in 10 days too. Collectively, the dynamic trio has made more than a million dollars in sales.

So what is Mega Red Packet all about? (since it’s 3 months after the Chinese New Year)

When I first visited the Mega Red Packet website, it branded itself as a “Recession Show Stopper”. I didn’t think much of it initially since a lot of Internet Marketing opportunist won’t let go any chance to cash in on the latest trend. But I take back what I said when I saw the Video Lounge area.

Vince, Edmund and Stephen have produced and positioned Mega Red Packet to turn the tide for many people who are not only struggling in their pursuit of building an online business but also people who are affected by the current recession period.

Mega Red Packet is focused on this core of success: product + traffic = residual income. This is the closest definition to push button marketing where all the work has been done for Internet Marketers of all levels - whether you are new or seasoned. The Mega Red Packet team has invested nearly $100,000 and 6 months in conceiving this push button program and infrastructure, which gives the user a variety of products to get reseller and Franchise rights to new, original products and sell.

Mega Red Packet is NOT about potential. It’s about empowering the Internet newbie to have his string of proven businesses in the form of Reseller Memberships for you to take full control of, and Franchise rights to proven Internet Businesses so that they can be put into the shoes of these 3 top Internet Marketers. The new Internet Marketer can now leverage off the credibility and proven model that the dynamic trio have discovered over the collective 11 years of marketing experience.

Traffic generation is another topic of great interest to some, and a great struggle to many others. The Mega Red Packet collection solves this more efficient and effectively than anyone, myself included, can ask for.

Vince, Edmund and Stephen are also taking this chance to launch their newest home study course named “Traffic Leopard” - aptly called ‘the next generation of traffic building’ that features a series of proven tactics to drive in traffic to your website, accompanied by a rich archive of case studies as used and experimented relentlessly by all of the 3 top Internet Marketers.

There’s also the Traffic Networks where Vince and Edmund have negiotiated with some of the top traffic building site owners to give generous credits to members of Mega Red Packet.

All in all, there’s more goodies in store in Mega Red Packet that I believe every Internet Marketer must look forward to. It’s ground breaking and non-conventional, not something you know so well of. Literally, all the work is done and I haven’t even talked about the new Private Label Rights products and software they are releasing in the Mega Red Packet event, that lets you do instant One Time Offers, Upsells and even Cross-Sells.

You can take my review with a pinch of salt but I strongly urge you to check out the site now and sign up for the free access to the Video Lounge (worth $297) and get onto their Advanced Notification List. (by the way speaking of that, they are also going to pick randomly 3 different names from the list to give free copies of Mega Red Packet on their launch day - you could be one of them!)

Click on this link and sign up for the Video Lounge and Advanced Notification List access for free now before the big event kick starts on 4th May 2009:

Cheers!

How to Save Lost Sales

Unknowingly, membership sites are fast becoming the one of the easiest way to make money online. TH true is membership sites are a multi-billion-dollar-a-year industry and growing very rapidly.

The advantage of having an online business is unlike offline businesses, there is no large fee for an office, there are no contracts to employees and there are no daily battles with the commuting traffic each and every working day morning.

However, like all businesses, member sites are not immune to annoying little problems that can lead to fluctuating membership site sales. Obviously you want to gain more members than you lose. In fact, you don’t want to lose members at all!

Like it or not, things happen and you can’t control them. From my experience, some of the common issues are credit cards charges are declined due to expired dates; or  there is a problem with a potential member’s browser and they cannot get on your site; sometimes there is a technical glitch.

So, how do you stop from losing these clients over things you cannot control?

It’s simple. You need to personally keep in touch by following up on each lost sale. It seems like a lot of work, but, as you probably are aware in your day-to-day routines, personal attention is one of the key aspects of sales and marketing.

Every customer is special and every customer is another monthly sale, so you, as the business owner, need to make sure that your customer gets what he or she wants. Like any other businesses, you need to follow up on sales. However, for online business, you don’t have to leave the comfort of your home to do it.

So how do you follow up personally?
One best way is email. Every member has a different story, a different reason for not paying their monthly fee or not continuing with the registration and it’s up to you to find out why and fix it.

For example, say a member has stopped making their monthly payments because their credit card has expired. Tell them if they rejoin in the next 3 days, you’ll start them right where they left off, offering to waiver the start up fee or giving them the next month free of charge.

The best way to keep on top of things is to make sure all your members are satisfied and never want to leave. Bonus offers, surprise offers, special prizes and over delivering are just some of the many ideas that work. Always keep in mind; the personal touch does make all the difference.

Member Sites Are Profitable. Why?

The internet has become so popular that you can access to almost everything instantly online. It is usually the first place to go to get information about practically anything. When someone is looking for some information, his friends would probably say go ‘Google’ it. Hence people tend to use internet because it’s a fast, simple,  almost effortless and inexpensive way to obtain information. And most importantly, it’s available in the comfort of your office or home.

And this is precisely why membership sites is becoming the new online wave that is currently sweeping the world.

So, what is a membership site? Essentially, a membership site is your own creation where you can offer exclusive ideas, articles, knowledge and stories in a field you’re well-versed and passionate about. Members pay to access the website information that you publish, which inevitably makes you profit and unlimited passive income.

And most importantly, you’re the boss and you’re continually making money managing a website about something you love. Isn’t this what you are all looking forward to?

So why are member sites so profitable? Simple!

People are willing to pay money to access information. However, instead of going to the local bookstore or paying the library fees, they can simply go on-line. It’s convenient, it’s reasonable and it’s sweeping the cyber world.

Everyone has something that they are passionate about and more likely than not, hundreds, if not millions of people share that passion. Furthermore, people are willing to pay for information about things they are interested in. This is why member sites have become so profitable.

Pay-for-content member sites are a booming industry that gets bigger and more profitable by the second. Literally. You make money from every member, every single month. Imagine you have a website with 500 members, each paying a reasonable $15 per month to access it. That’s 7,500 dollars per month on just one member site!

Because member sites work with residual income, the paychecks continue to flow as the members pay each month. This recurring income grows with each member that signs up for your website. Furthermore, with each member site you create, you are adding more residual income to your already expanding business.

For example, let’s say you own and manage three member sites, all of which charge $20 per month for each member. One member site has 500 members, one has 200 members and one has 100 members. That’s a total of $16,000 per month! That’s almost $200,000 per year. And, you are doing something you enjoy! Why not make some money at the same time? Incredible.

Many people are managing 10 or more websites with hundreds of members on each site. It’s possible, with 500 members per website, each paying $20 a month, to make over one million dollars a year!

Even if you’re just starting out with a member site and haven’t built a large member base yet, the residual income continues to come in. For example, even if you only have 50 members at 25$ per month, you will be making $1,250 per month extra income on top of your full time job. And that’s just for maintaining a website about something you love!

So no matter what you’re planning for your own member site, the tools and techniques to manage a successful member site are available to you. Check it out how to learn everything you need to know about joining the membership phenomenon. Watch as the members join and your residual income expands, all with a click of the mouse.

Running a Membership Site is Easy

Membership sites are one of the easiest and surest ways to make a monthly income on the Internet. They generate billions of dollars a year and promise monthly residual profit. Furthermore, it’s entirely up to you what you want to put on your website and how you want to run it.

However, many people assume it’s too time-consuming to manage a membership site. What with coming up with new content month after month, dealing with marketing and focusing on new membership site ideas, the whole process might appear too big to take on.

It’s not.

In fact, it’s relatively simple, thanks to outsourcing. Essentially, outsourcing is the process of hiring employees to help you run the membership site.

In the same way an editor of a magazine hires contributing writers, photographers and journalists, you will be hiring your own personal staff to help you with the less-important aspects of the member site.

However, because the work is on-line, many of your content writers, ghostwriters, researchers and photographers are found, hired and paid online. And, unlike most jobs, you are free to make your own hours for both yourself and your employees. Whether you want to pay them by the hour or by the article, or you want them to work 40 hours a week or 40 hours a month, it’s all up to you.

And the best part is, by outsourcing some of your work, you are free to concentrate on whatever projects you choose.

There are various websites specifically designed to help you find the right candidates for your outsourcing projects. From data entry and administrators to feature writers, researchers and editors, the choice of possibilities of whom you want and what you need done is endless.

Plus, you have the opportunity to choose the candidates based on their previous employer reviews, their compensation expectancies and their portfolio of work. You also have the choice of hiring them on a one-time basis or continuing to use their services, based on their performance. How you want to outsource the material is entirely up to you.

But this will cost a lot, right? Most of my income will go to employees won’t it?

No.

Outsourcing is surprisingly cheap. Actually, it’s unbelievably cheap. You can easily take home more than 90 per cent of the profit each month and still have free time to focus on marketing and new ideas. In the long scheme of things, this is not even a dent in your monthly residual income.

Compared to the precious time you are gaining back, outsourcing is a logical and simple choice for any member site manager looking to multiply his or her revenue.

And with all the free time you have, you’ll be able to begin new membership sites and focus on the marketing aspect of the member sites, tripling your income.

For even more great advice click http://www.MembershipSitesMadeEasy.net  and discover how to find more members, create more member sites and earn more monthly residual revenue, all the while publishing new content every month.

Let outsourcing handle the month-to-month projects while you handle the important aspects of your online business.

After all, you are the boss!
