The SEO News Blog from Pat Marcello

Listen, I just got word that Russell Bruson is giving away his 90-minute on-stage lecture from StomperNet that he did back in August. I wasn’t able to go to that because I was heading out for his Mastermind the day after it ended. Jumping from Atlanta to Las Vegas just wasn’t an option for me, so I’m thrilled that I’m getting to hear his keynote address because well…

As you know, I got very sick during the Mastermind. I got to spend ONE day there, when it was supposed to have been four. I mean, I was crushed. People like Keith Wellman, Amit Mehta, Chris Guerrero, Joe Lavery, Soren Jordanson and Cindy Battye, and Michael Cheney were all there and lots of other people with really successful businesses. I mean, it was like really, really cool.

In that ONE day, I learned more from Russell and the folks there than you can imagine. I mean, really cutting edge stuff. It was awesome!

And guess what? Russell is giving some of his incredible tactics away. He’s just giving this stuff away!

So, you have to check it out. If you don’t… don’t cry to me because you missed it. I’m not sure how long he’ll be letting everyone see this for zero dollars, but hey… you really need to go to the site, opt in and take notes!

I’m headed back over now, but I wanted to share this with you really quick: http://easyseotricks.com/12months

Get crackin’! Russell took his business from zero to 8 figures this year in about 5 years. That’s incredible!

Wow… So very, very true. That’s the intro to StomperNet’s new video about their faculty. And it’s true. They have some really, really cool people on their faculty, and I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve gained by being a member and having access to all the cool information inside StomperNet. But it only starts there. They have free live conferences, coaching, faculty office hours, and all kinds of stuff to help you make your business sing.

I’m not suggesting that you join StomperNet if you’re just getting into online business. I think what’s inside might be too difficult for the green newbie.

But you don’t have to be expert at Internet marketing, and in fact, you probably shouldn’t. You should have a reasonable understanding and then, learn how the right ways to do things are. Forget what you have in your brain, and then, fill it with the brilliance that is StomperNet. I can’t tell  you how much it has done for me. I spent 2-1/2 years trying to go it alone. Nothing really fell into place until I became a coaching client of Tellman’s.

And there’s the solution for brand newbies! That’s where the ListBuilding Club comes in. We have the very basic basics, and add to your knowledge each month in chunks that anyone can understand and implement. I may know this better than anyone, since I’m the project manager. I’m very proud of what we have done in the LBC and it just keeps getting better and better.

Just today, we made plans for making a bunch of new support videos to help folks over the rough spots. We’re adding unadvertised bonuses every single week. We have a wonderful, extremely active forum that is very friendly and filled with people who are eager to help answer any question that arises, and calls to give people group coaching, specific to their personal business questions and more and more and I just LOVE my job!

Another cool thing is that Brian Edmondson is a very good friend of mine, and I have to say that his instructional videos are the best I’ve seen anywhere. He missed his calling because he’d have been a great teacher, and is, actually. I mean, anyone can follow along with what he does and build an online business, get traffic, learn SEO, and all the other cool stuff that our members get inside.

But I could talk about the LBC forever, and that wasn’t my topic or the point I wanted to make here.

You can’t do it on your own. You can pick up tids and tads here and there, and ingest it, even take action on what you learn, but it will still be lacking something… experience.  You have no one to ask if you’re doing things right or wrong, and it will take you a LOT longer to get your business going.

What the ListBuilding Club and StomperNet do are condense the learning curve. Each system is a shortcut to success because of the experience of the team that put the information together. You learn it quicker. You get the right tools quicker. You spend less money for quality information, and in the long run…

You and your business will be much better off.

You may think you can’t afford the cost of either program, but let me tell you… you need to figure out a way to afford it. The savings in time and frustration will help you get to the money that much faster. Don’t be pennywise and pound foolish. These are two great programs that will suit folks at any level of understanding, and I highly recommend both of them. Start off with the ListBuilding Club, and then, compound your learning by joining StomperNet. By that time, the money won’t be an issue.

Cryptic? Just a bit, but if you’re in the Internet marketing space, you probably already know that StomperNet is about to reopen on 9.09.09 at a really affordable lower price with a whole BUNCH of new tools and information.  You need to get over there and get in on the launch information list now because historically, Stomper opens its doors for a short while, and then BAM! They’re closed again and you’re on the outside looking in.

I’ve been part of StomperNet since it opened its doors back in 2006 (thanks to Tellman), and I can tell you that the site has been a definite part of my knowledge base and ensuing success in the SEO/Internet marketing world. I’ve learned more than I can say, and continue to learn more and more all the time. It’s a place I can go and know that I’ll be picking up cutting edge information every single time I visit.

Yes, there’s been controversy lately.  And yes, sad to say that Andy Jenkins left Stomper (because I really love his energy, enthusiasm, and wicked sense of humor), but Brad Fallon and his team have come up with a newer, cleaner “Stomper999″” that I’m really excited to see in action. I got the whole lowdown, but…

I can’t spill the beans, but if you’re the least bit interested in getting a solid SEO education or rather a solid education in Internet marketing and SEO, and you’re not a complete newbie (I don’t know, but I don’t think Stomper is for the total newbie. Just going on past impressions from my experience in Stomper), then you definitely need to check this launch out.

It’s going to be killer!  I’m excited and I’m already in. Wicked cool…

So… Have you had your site evaluated yet?

I entered the info for one of my pages, and now, I don’t remember which one. It was a few days ago, but…

Nothing from Site Seer yet.

I’ll bet they had thousands of entries, so I’m being totally patient. It’s been days, but well… they said don’t submit again. Hmm… After a few days, it seems as though I should.

I don’t have a spam blocker, so that’s not the problem.

Anyway, I’m thoroughly interested in that report. Aren’t you? I mean, if you can put your page into a system like that and it comes back and tells you what’s wrong. Jeez… You might never figure it out on your own, right?

Of course, I’m a Stomper, so I know mine will come back clean. Yeah, right… LOL I do my clients’ SEO work way better and more thoroughly than my own. I need a clone.  Definitely need a clone. So, here’s the best deal of all… I get Site Seer to do the work for me and I just go and fix it, right? I’m so bad.

Need time! Any time merchants out there?

Anyway, if you don’t know what Site Seer is and how it can benefit you, you need to check it out:

Zero cost. Stomper has set the precedent for raising the free line. They did it when Stomper opened and though tons of other marketers have learned to do this, too, I remember who started it.

Brad and Andy.

Good on them.

The premise is: If the free stuff is THIS good, what’s the paid stuff like? Must be incredible!

And inside StomperNet it is.

It’s like SEO and Internet marketing University. Truly. I’ve been involved since Day 1 and can honestly say…

Wow.

Just wow.

Being inside StomperNet generally blows one’s mind. I love it. They’re about to open the doors again. Come on in and be amazed.

OK… where’s my affiliate link, Andy?

See? I really do have nothing to gain. I just really love being a Stomper.

I’m getting to be a real whiz with Camtasia. I guess when you make enough videos, that happens. Well, if you go through Camtasia’s course, which I plan to do someday, you know all this stuff up front. But I’m the kind of chick who likes to learn by doing, you know. I just jump right in and only look for help when I want to do something that I think is cool, but don’t know how to do. I’m terrible that way. I never read directions, either.

Anyway, today, I was making a pretty simple video, and I didn’t like the beginning. But… I thought. [see the little light bulb go on over Pat's head] Well… hmm… a PowerPoint could spice this up a bit.

But the trouble was: How the heck do I get the video and the PowerPoint to live together in one short film?

huh.

Well, when I thought about it, it was pretty simple actually.

• Record a video for both the PowerPoint and the screen capture. (I did the screen capture first, which was smart because then, I knew what I had to say when recording the PowerPoint. I left pauses where I wanted the video to kick in, you know? You can edit those out, which is pretty cool.)

• Then, on the storyline, put the PowerPoint in first, then split it where you want the video to come in.

• Plug in the screen capture video at that point

• You can split the video where you want the PowerPoint to come back. If it’s the end, that’s really easy because the end of the PowerPoint will still be there. But if you want PowerPoint and video to alternate, you can just continue splitting and alternating.

You may think it makes things jerky, and it probably will if you do it too much. Yet, Camtasia does a good job of making smooth transitions. You can always add transition screens to make it look even cooler, too.

This is probably soup simple for the video tech heads, but it’s an adventure for moi.

I’m really getting into this video creation stuff. It’s not just fun, it’s important! I really think it’s the way of the Web, folks. If you’re not at least exploring the possibilities of video, you’re behind the curve. I’m learning a lot working with Brian Edmondson, who’s doing some kick butt stuff for Overcome Everything, too. Brian is da video guy and he rocks.

But… I’ve also been watching Andy Jenkins’ videos about making videos over at StomperNet. Whoa.

Nothing like learning from a pro. I feel blessed. And thanks, Andy! You rock — out loud.

My site on blogging is all step-by-step video, so this is making it better all the time. Love it!

Have you seen Don Crowther’s Stomper video about Web 2.0?

If you’re not convinced that social bookmarking and networking is important, that it’s not a significant change in the DNA of the Web, then you need to watch this…

http://www.stompernet.net/goingnatural2/

I love it!

Man, not only can you learn about Web 2.0, but a lot about making videos that people want to watch. These are the best videos I’ve ever seen online.

It could be that I lead a sheltered life, but I don’t think so. This is the kind of quality we see inside StomperNet and the type of quality information. Man, I wish I had an affiliate link. Andy, you reading this?

Have you seen Andy Jenkins’ new video yet? It’s called “Going Natural 2.0,” and I have to tell you… It’s the best freakin’ video I ever saw online re: Internet business. I mean, I know that Andy was a film editor and all, but he didn’t pull any stops. It’s interesting and fun, but here’s the killer part…

It’s LOADED with important SEO information.

Have I learned this stuff before? Well, yeah. I’m a Stomper. But it never hurts to get a little refresher, eh? Besides, Andy’s a trip. You never know what he’s going to put into a video, and so, I watch ‘em all. Really, the guy’s not only a smart SEO, he’s an entertainer.

It’s on the Stomper blog and it’s free content, so it’s OK to let that one out of the bag. I got the email  because I signed up for information on StomperNet last year, but when I found out how much it cost, I knew I’d never afford it. Lucky for me that I work for someone who could and who thought it was pretty cool to put me into. I thank him a lot.

Seriously, even if you can’t afford StomperNet (or think you can’t), check out that video. It’s not a sales pitch from Brad (Fallon) & Andy. It’s just good, solid, valuable content. And that’s what StomperNet continues to provide. I’ve been in it since the first day and it still never ceases to amaze and delight me.

Is StomperNet worth going into debt for?

Hell, yes. Absolutely.

It’s the single most important experience of my online career, and I’m constantly amazed by the level, quality, and abundance of information there. I have trouble keeping up with all of it. Really.

Anyway, I have no reason to urge you into Stomper Net when they open it back up for members. I’m not an affiliate.

But I sure love it there, and believe me, it’s worth every single penny. It rocks the universe!
