Have you seen Tweet My Blog yet?
If not, just look to the right –>
See where it says, “Follow Me On Twitter”? Well, those are my last 5 tweets on Twitter.
This is probably the coolest Word Press plug-in I’ve seen in quite a while.
Twitter is a great service that allows you to instantly update a network of people about what you are doing. When you send a tweet, your network get’s the message.
I started “tweeting” after I got back from JV Alert.
Whenever I post to my blog, I try to send a tweet, letting people know to check out what is new.
After all, that’s what a blog is for, right? To get traffic and to let people know you have something to say.
Well, my biggest problem was remembering to send my tweet. I mean many times I even forget to send an email out when I post to my blog, so my list finds out a day or two later about my latest post.
Well, Soren Jordansen and John Merrick discovered a way to solve that problem. They created Tweet My Blog, which will automatically post a tweet when you post to your blog!
The coolest thing about that is I won’t forget to tweet when I post to my blog!
Oh, one other thing, this awesome Word Press plug-in is also free!
So, you have nothing to lose. It’s really quick and easy to install (there are videos to walk you through the process) and in no time you’ll be automatically tweeting when you post to your blog.
Get Tweet My Blog Now and automate your tweets!

Filed Under free gifts, list building | Leave a Comment
Today America celebrates our Independence. It is a time to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and price that has been paid for those freedoms. Without the men and women of our armed forces sacrificing everything they have, we would not be able to enjoy these freedoms.
To celebrate this special day, I want to give you a new gift, Six Steps To Six Figures With List Marketing.
This is a great report that will show you exactly how to build a list and how to generate an income from that list.
There’s something special about that ebook and opt-in and download pages…
They were all created using Viral Ebook Explosion!
Viral Ebook Explosion gives you all the tools you need to build your list.
You get great ebooks from Marketing Masters to brand with your own links.
You can then create the opt-in pages, like mine here.
And you can also create the download pages, like mine here.
(I saved the one that I created from their site and added some extra code for Advertising Know How List Builder, but everything else is was created from Viral Ebook Explosion!)
Well, go download your new gift Six Steps To Six Figures With List Marketing here.
Pay attention to the sign up process, because I’ll be covering this in detail in the coming days and weeks.
Happy 4th of July!

List Building Is All About The System!
Posted on June 27, 2008
Filed Under list building | Leave a Comment
I’ve been quiet for a few days because I’ve been really busy getting my systems in place.
When you try to build lists, which every marketer MUST do, you need to get a system in place in order to be successful.
When I say a system I mean a flow from traffic to lead to monetization.
I’ve been spending a lot of time in online conference rooms recently and have been absorbing so much information. These conferences are hosted and moderated by 5 and 6 figure earners in Internet Marketing and the information they provide is golden.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m working on a project that they handed me to complete, but I also have to get my systems in place in order for the whole process to work.
So, the first part of the system needs to be a lead capture. In order to get someone on your list, you need to offer them something of value, whether it’s an e-course or an ebook, or a membership to your site.
Once you get them on your list… wait, back up a little bit.
When they put their email address in the form and click on the Submit button (you don’t really leave the default “Submit” on the button, do you?) then you have an opportunity to provide them immediate value and make an offer. If you don’t have something on your Thank You page, then you’re missing a golden opportunity. I’ve been having great success with my Thank You page, because I offer my brand new subscriber something of great value.
You can see my latest Thank You page here.
The Bonus on that page has been doing very well for me. It is free to sign up, provides a lot of value, and has a high upgrade rate. So, I’m actually making money with that free offer. (Go ahead and sign up and test it out yourself.) 
Now, if you are using a professional autoresponder service, the new subscriber will receive a confirmation email that requires them to click a link to confirm that they really did subscribe to your newsletter list.
After they click the confirm link they are generally taken to a Confirmation Page. Again, a great opportunity to add value and make an offer.
I have just finished creating a new confirmation page for my latest (well version 2.0) of my ebook, Don’t Lose Your Shirt In Network Marketing. Go ahead and click that link and go through the opt-in to see that page. (I can’t just give you the goodie without the opt-in, can I?)
Anyway, the next step is your email series.
I’ll get into detail about your emails, and how to monetize your list quickly, another day.
It is key to follow this process so you can earn enough money quickly that you can afford to start sending more traffic to your opt-in form, and your funnel.
If you don’t have a list yet, check out the list-builder at Advertising Know How. (Notice how that page is branded with me? That actually goes to my list, then you’ll receive more list-building information in the email series.)
It’s all part of a system!

Web 2.0 - Social Networking - It’s All About Branding YOU!
Posted on June 18, 2008
Filed Under Social Networking | 2 Comments
Web 2.0 sites such as the Social Networking sites, give you the opportunity to create a relationship with people and to brand you.
I just spend the last several hours setting up my Social Networking sites:
Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/people/Charles_Burleigh/1317613793
Twitter - https://twitter.com/CharlesBurleigh
Ning - http://stayhomedads.ning.com
Why would I go through all the effort to set up these sites? Isn’t Internet Marketing all about building products and selling something?
NO!!
The key to long term success on the Web and really in any business is building a relationship with your customers.
These websites and others like them, allow you to share your life, and build a relationship with people. People are more likely to buy from people they like. It’s true.
If you go to a car lot and the salesman comes off as pushy or condescending, you’re not very likely to buy from him.
But if a mortgage broker calls you up and calmly explains how he has a long term goal of helping you improve your credit and pay down your debt, you’ll probably be more likely to purchase a mortgage through him.
The above example happened to me. As a matter of fact, I was so pleasantly surprised by the way he discussed his plan, that I told my wife I’d be a fool not to purchase a mortgage from him because it made sense and seemed like he was trying to help us!
So, take the opportunity (and time) to join some of these sites and set up your profiles. Let people know who you are, what your goals are, why you’re building a home based business, and what your life is like.
You’ll be surprised at how many true friends you’ll make if you are consistent and truthful in your follow up.
After you join, please request to be part of my network.
Comments, Questions and Criticisms are Welcomed!
– Charles Burleigh
P.S. What do you think of my new widgets in the sidebar? The Ning widget is kind of odd in that I have to explain that you have to Mouse Over in order to see the description. If you have a better way to do it, please let me know.

I Love Hits - Web 2.0 Traffic Exchange?
Posted on June 17, 2008
Filed Under I Love Hits | 1 Comment
Has Jon Olson lost his mind? Why would he try to combine Web 2.0 with a Traffic Exchange? Isn’t a traffic exchange just for advertising?
With the release of the I Love Hits Profile Pages today, Jon has taken the traffic exchange industry to a new level of sophistication.
It is true that manual traffic exchanges are used for advertising and if you’ve “surfed” their traffic you’ll see tons of ads for all sorts of products. However, if you have participated in any of the traffic exchange forums, like Netmarketing Forum, or hung around the SWAT Traffic Captain’s Seminar room, you’ll know that the best way to use traffic exchanges is to brand yourself.
What better way to brand yourself than with a page like this?
http://www.ilovehits.com/profile/?name=stayhomedad
If you’d like to have your own page like that for free, then check out I Love Hits Here.
Remember, it is free to join I Love Hits and it is a great way to get your face in front of people. I’ve used manual traffic exchanges for years and they produce consistent traffic to my lead capture pages and help me build my lists.
To learn everything about how to use free traffic exchanges to build your business, check out Residual Traffic System for free.

SWAT Traffic - Thousand Dollars An Hour Coaching?
Posted on June 12, 2008
Filed Under swat traffic | 1 Comment
SWAT Traffic is a manual traffic exchange that can help you generate tons of hits to your web pages every month. There is a free entry point where you can earn traffic by visiting other member’s pages at a dynamic ratio starting at 4:1. This means that when you join, you’ll get one hit back to your site for every 4 sites you visit. The ratios are dynamic and you can earn 3:1, 5:2 or 2:1 depending on how much you use SWAT Traffic. However, if you upgrade your account to Captain, you get a much better ratio, but there is an even better benefit…
As part of your upgrade to Captain in SWAT Traffic, you get to participate in weekly online seminars, that could easily be valued at $1,000 or more!
I was at an Internet Marketing event this weekend called JV Alert Live, and there I met one of the most known participants in Traffic Exchanges, Mike Paetzold. Mike was chatting with someone, and I overheard him say how people are fools not to take advantage of the free training available in the SWAT weekly seminars.
When I got back from the event, I immediately contacted Jon Olson, the owner of SWAT Traffic, and upgraded my account to Captain.
Yesterday, I attended the Captain’s seminar online and was shocked at what I saw!
There were over 30 people in the conference room! Most of them, very well established experts in traffic generation and conversion.
As a matter of fact, many of them charge $100 or more per hour of coaching, and there they were, sharing their secrets freely. There really is no value you can put on that kind of coaching, but I’d venture to guess it was more than $1,000. And they stayed on for 2 hours (or at least that is when I dropped of the conference to go get my dinner).
That is what makes the traffic exchange community unique, they share openly, if you just ask. I have made some really great friends in that circle. They are open and giving, but you have to put forth the effort.
If you want to generate tons of traffic I highly recommend that you use manual traffic exchanges. Don’t know what that is, check out Residual Traffic System for all the details.
And if you want to get thousands of dollars in free coaching every week, join SWAT Traffic, and upgrade to Captain quick! (I’m sure after you join you’ll be given a great offer on the Captain upgrade, which is normally $19.99 per month.)

JV Alert Live - A Truly Life Changing Event!

This past weekend I attended JV Alert Live in Philidelphia. It was an incredible event and I met many new and wonderful friends.
You can see the power of this event by reading my Guest Post at Mike Paetzold’s blog!
That is the power of events like JV Alert, where you can network with other Internet Marketers, create new relationships and partnerships, and learn how to build your business to the next level.
Again I want to thank Mike for letting me post on his blog. That kind of exposure is priceless.
On Friday I was fortunate enough to sit with Gina Gaudio-Graves. It feels great when someone of that caliber of success will take their time and explain to you how to improve your business. She had seen my site, and had some suggestions on how I can improve it.
It just blows me away that she knew of me at all!
Anyway, she gave me some excellent ideas which really gave me some direction and focus to my business.
I’ve always wanted to create a community at StayHomeDads.com of like-minded people who want to be real Stay At Home Dads and Stay At Home Moms.
Gina has given me the resources to make that possible, so you’ll be seeing some changes at StayHomeDads.com in the coming days ahead.
In the mean time, if you have any questions at all about how to build your business, from setting up a blog, autoresponder, creating a product, whatever it is, please contact me at my help desk, www.StayHomeDadsSupport.com

GIMP Videos - Just What I’ve Been Looking For!
Posted on May 31, 2008
Filed Under GIMP Videos | Leave a Comment
GIMP is a free graphics editing software program that is on par with the expensive ones like Photoshop and Corel Photopaint.
I’ve been dabbling in GIMP for several months and have been scouring the Internet for any tutorials that could teach me how to make a simple ebook cover, let alone an advanced Web 2.0 fancy looking graphic. Until now I haven’t been able to find what I’ve been looking for.
But now, Stan has just created GIMP Videos, a set of 12 step-by-step how-to videos that will show you how to use GIMP (again it’s free) to create impressive graphics for your web sites and products.
I’ve spent several hours today going through the videos and am impressed at the quality and detail he goes into while explaining how to use GIMP.
I’ve learned more today than I’ve learned in all the months of my online searching for GIMP tutorials.
If you like to build your own graphics (or want to learn how) and don’t want to waste precious hours trying to figure out how to use GIMP, then I suggest you get these GIMP Videos now. (Oh yeah, the price goes up every time there is a sale, so jump on them now.)
Best Wishes,
Charles

Filed Under network marketing | Leave a Comment
I have finally finished my new product! It’s called, Don’t Get Lost In The Jungle of MLM!
When I first ‘caught the bug’ of building a home-based business, I started in Network Marketing. However, I quickly found out that there are two ways to build your MLM business.
The first way is the way 95% of all Network Marketers build their business. This way leads to debt, despair and agony! It is the method taught by most Network Marketing companies, and is the reason 95% of all Network Marketers fail!
The other way is the way that the 5% build their business. This is the method that leads to unbelievable success!
However, most MLM companies won’t teach you this method (some even frown on it out-right!)
But, I’m breaking the code of silence and spilling the beans in this new ebook, Don’t Get Lost In The Jungle of MLM!
MLM is a Jungle and requires that you be guided through in order to achieve the success you are looking for. That is why I’ve decided to write this series of ebooks (with more to come) that will cover all aspects of how to achieve success in Network Marketing.
The series starts with the free ebook Don’t Lose Your Shirt In Network Marketing! This ebook explains that the #1 reason most MLMers fail is lack of profit. Heck, most of us go deep into debt before we get out of the business! But with my new ebook, you’ll learn how to build your business and make a profit quickly, so you can stay in for the long term.
The next ebook in the series, Don’t Get Lost In The Jungle of MLM! explains how to evaluate and choose the perfect Network Marketing company for you. It goes into details about products, company structures and pay plans. This first step is the most important of your Network Marketing career. If you get this step right, then you’ll be on your way to achieving the success in MLM you’ve been dreaming about. Even if you’re already in a company this ebook is a great resource to you, and your downline.
Now, a word to my Internet Marketing friends…
Network Marketing is a great Niche to get into. There are thousands of people who are struggling in MLM, and looking for a way to make it work for them. If you get these two ebooks, you’ll be able to offer them just what they are looking for. Remember, the first rule of success is “Find a problem and fix it”.
Both ebooks come with Master Resell Rights, so you can get them up online and earn your money back quickly. The second one, Don’t Get Lost In The Jungle of MLM! comes with a sales page and graphics, making it even more valuable.
So, if your goal is to create niche sites with a great product to earn 100% commissions from, then download the MRR package for Don’t Get Lost In The Jungle of MLM! today.
Back to my fellow Networkers…
If you haven’t yet picked up my free ebook, Don’t Lose Your Shirt in Network Marketing! go ahead and download it today. When you sign up to my mailing list on that page, you’ll receive a series of emails that will take you through the steps to set up your very own MLM recruiting system (using the techniques I discuss in the ebook).

Click-Click-Click - Instant Web 2.0 Graphics! - Quick Web Creations
Posted on April 25, 2008
Filed Under quick web creations | Leave a Comment
I have to admit that I’m no good at creating my own graphics. I try to be a do-it-yourselfer but usually spend hours and hours of frustration when trying to create even the simplest of graphics. Consequently, over the last year, whenever I’ve needed a new graphic, ebook cover, header or banner, I’ve had to pay for it. Luckily I’ve built relationships with some good graphics guys like my friend Alex Albert of 7 Dollar Templates.
Well, the other day, Alex told me about an amazing tool that helps even a neophyte like me quickly and easily create stunning Web 2.0 Graphics like this:
