I have joined the niche blogging institute. I have been part of the Firepow blogging for a long time now. Andrew Hansen of FirePow is involved in the niche blogging institute and I thought I should check it out.

One of the best things I found was the facility of submitting feedback inside the members area. Quite a number of video tutorials, guides and other resources are available for members with clear instructions on how to start. Simple checklists are available for download which can help members keep track of what they have completed and what they need to do.

The downloads including keyword lists, PLR articles, blog themes, headers and everything needed to set up the blogs is available for members.

At every level for every download members have the facility to post feedback. And the feedback is taken very seriously and immediately Andrew and Colleen respond and take action on the suggestions given by members. This I have never experienced in any other membership site.

The niche marketing course is complete and comprehensive and the guides and videos stress on the most important aspects in very simple language.

How much money you will make through blogging depends on the effort you put in to implement the suggestions in the right manner and persist in your efforts. But the course is worth checking out and there is a 60-day money-back guarantee. So there is nothing to lose and everything to gain from.

There is also a provision to get a blog done for you. I got a blog done for me so that I can understand the process better by a concrete example. I thought this would give me a clear idea to create more blogs in the same manner. I may miss some crucial points in the video lessons and guides.

I got a blog made and initially was not satisfied with the result.  I wrote to Andrew Hansen and got a detailed email from him explaining to me the idea behind the blog. I was impressed not by the blog but by the way Andrew responds to feedback, keeps in contact with customers, takes the trouble to explain principles in personal emails as well as in the forum. This personal coaching is priceless and the membership fee as well as the blog creation fee is nothing compared to what I got in return.

The ready-made blog saved me hours and hours in niche research, optimized content creation and learning how to put in the links in such a way that you are not too pushy with your sales. More than anything else I have got lifetime free hosting.

Dr. Joe Rubino has released a book titled “The Self Esteem: The Ultimate guide to Boost the Most Underrated Ingredient for Success and Happiness in Life“.

Download a free audio “7 Steps to Soaring Self Esteem“.

The book promises to help you

- Complete your past

- assess your present

- design your future

“Enhancing self-esteem is 80 percent about completing your past and 20 percent about designing your future.” -Dr. Joe Rubino

As soon as I heard about Dr. Joe Rubino’s book I thought of my close friend and her son. My friend has been discussing with me the problems her son was facing not with the idea that I will be able to solve it but with the intention of giving a voice to her thoughts and relieving herself of a stressful phase of life. I also thought of similar instances with other friends and relatives as well as news I get to hear everyday about young students committing suicide because they are unable to cope with the situations they face in college or office.

I read through Dr. Joe’s self-esteem book keeping in mind the people I care about and whether they will benefit if they buy a copy of this book and sincerely apply what Dr. Joe suggests.

First let me tell you the goal Dr. Joe has set for himself in the book.

According to Dr. Joe, “With this book YOU will

- Uncover the secrets to accessing your personal power.
- Create a structure for maximizing your effectiveness with others.
- Learn to take total responsibility for everything in your life.
- Discover the key elements to accomplishment and how to reach your goals in record time.
- Identify your life rules and discover how honoring your core values can help you maximize productivity.
- Complete your past and design your future on purpose.
- Discover the keys to communicating effectively and intentionally.
- Stop complaining and start doing.
- Seize your personal power and conquer resignation in your life.
- Learn how to generate conversations that uncover new possibilities.
- See how embracing problems can lead to positive breakthroughs in
life.
- Leave others whole while realizing the power of telling the truth.
- Learn how to develop the charisma necessary to attract others to you”

This goal is achieved through 12 clearly laid out steps, a series of exercises, real case studies and definite action plans.

If anyone takes up Dr. Joe’s challenge and “adopt an intention to apply the principles discussed and perform the exercises” I am sure they can reclaim their self-esteem in all aspects of life.

Here is the challenge:

“Challenge: Decide now to take on the personal development exercises outlined in this book. You have the ability to reinvent yourself, elevate your self-esteem and lead a fulfilling life. It all starts now with your decision to do so. Do not simply read this book from a passive perspective, like watching television. Instead, adopt an intention to apply the principles discussed and perform the exercises suggested with the knowledge that they will transform your life and restore your self-esteem.”

I read this 157-page self-esteem book at one go. I thought I will read a few pages and write a review but when it touched my life at sensitive points I could not stop myself from reading the entire book. I will have to read it again and complete properly the steps I rushed through in the first reading.

I feel there is a lot the author expects from the reader in terms of self introspection, analysis, exercise completion that it may not be possible for everyone to do it without assistance.

I feel the need for a group where committments can be made and people can help each other to persist with the actions they need to take to achieve goals. The type of changes we envisage for ourselves and work towards need empahsis from others’ experiences and group support.

If any of you read this self-esteem book I would love to discuss this with you at google wave.

I particularly feel that the case studies can have multiple interpretations and the interpretations themselves are likely to change as we mature and gain more self esteem.

–36 hours of 100% content-rich, non-selling
expert panel interview series

–No one else anywhere has ever had access to this
caliber, quality, desirable collection of famous,
prominent, brilliant real-life experts
that we’ve assembled. No one else has even come
remotely close.

–No one is selling anything in these interview
sessions. All are sharing brilliant, ingenious,
masterful and outright amazing ideas, concepts,
strategies, recommendations and guidance never

–Two of marketing’s top players just brought 53

In each session, these different panels will talk

challenges and questions your business is facing
and they provide the most actionable answers,
ideas and solution you’ve gotten from anyone,
anywhere, ever before.

–One panel consists of seven world famous
marketers: Another has six celebrated mega-
bestselling business authors. Another has
internationally renowned legendary mastery in
dealing with business competitors. Still, another

each expert’s content on ideas and advice that
will quickly help any business out there that’s
suffering from:

* Poor marketing * No distinction or preemptive
advantage * Ineffective sales efforts * Poor
marketing message * Lack of credibility, trust in

interview panels in this six week experiment on:
these problems:

* Too common type product/service * No strong
benefits to buyers * Massive competition * Mature
business * Weakly performing start-up * Economy-
caused drop in business * Lower response rates
from “on and offline” advertising * Promotions not
pulling well * Prospects not converting like you
want them to * Margins eroding * Old way of doing
business no longer works.

Extraordinary Minds six week experiment interview
Brain can be just the solution you’re after?

they won’t get inside fast enough. .

who DO get to listen at no charge to all nine

I want to express my appreciation for John Reese one of the most honest internet marketers I have come across.

He has released a report ‘Internet Marketing 2010: The Road Ahead’. You can download the report from the link below without registering or giving away your email id.

www.income.com/blog/2009/10/13/internet-marketing-2010-the-road-ahead/

John Reese says: “Here’s Some Of What I Cover In This Report:

How I made a bone-head mistake and lost over $350,000.

My thoughts on “Social Media” and why some will hate what I have to say.

Did you know… The FTC just changed the entire game of marketing.

Why your traffic generation efforts better get ‘smarter.’

Don’t do ‘this’ or you and your business might be doomed.

How you need to position your business and why.”

The report is worth reading, 32 pages of honest content, frank disclosure of what worked and what did not work for him,

I really admire his ability to own up his mistakes, learn important lessons from them and then be brave enough to share it with others and save them the tremendous cost of energy, time, money, sufferings and pain required to learn those lessons.

Please read the report and post a comment.

Internet Marketing 2010: The Road Ahead’

I got an email from Perry Marshall today. He had written about a mail he had received from a frustrated man who had not been able to make any money online and his own response to that email.

As I started reading his blog post I thought I must share it with you. I appreciate the honesty underlying his advice, the practical tips he gives and the guidance he offers free of cost. Had somebody told me these things when I started online, I would not have filled my mind with negative thoughts that arise from bad experiences.

Please read the full post here:

This post has a link to another post. Please read that too, especially, if you are just beginning your online business.

Memo from a Pink Kool-aid Drinker

I particularly liked his approach of sharing with us what he wrote to his close friend or someone he cared about. How many internet marketers do that?

Thanks Perry for just being there. The internet marketing world appears less murky and less polluted.

Jack Humphrey cheated me of $1000 affiliate commission.

When Jack Humphrey announced the DNA affiliate programme I was one of the first few to work on it immediately. The commission was $1000 for the sale of one local domain that cost $2500 to $5000.

July 15th was my birthday and on July 16th I was pleasantly surprised to see $1000 marked as payable to me in DNA affiliate stats. I thought this year is going to be great and I have made a good start.

I received an email from Ms. Constance Humphrey congratulating me on earning $1000 as affiliate commission.

Here is the email I received:

Rangoo you’ve just referred a sale!

From Universal Marketing & Management Inc.

Hi Rangoo,

This email is to notify you that you have made a sale.

You have earned $1,000.00 in commission for this sale.

This will be added to your total commissions for this month.
To verify your stats online please visit:

Please note that this sale and commission is based on the approval of the order and receipt of funds. If the order cannot be confirmed, or funds are not received, your commission account will be updated accordingly.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

According to the DNA affiliate programme if I make a sale in July I will get paid on September 1st.

I took screenshots of the record and checked it frequently.

On September 1st I did not get the commission credited to my PayPal account.

I wrote a letter to Constance, replying to the email she first sent to me with the subject line: Rangoo You’ve referred a sale!

Constance Humphrey replied immediately.

HI RAngoo!

Yes, I am in the process of paying July sales
this week

I don’t have a current file on you, let’s get this
done now so that when I get to the “R’s” ,
you’ll be all set and I can send it over to you.
I don’t remember if you are in living in the
United States or not, so I’m sending both.

Just return the one that is for you!

Thanks!

Please sign and return the attached file…
Peace, Love, and Prosperity,
Constance

I was very happy to say the least. I immediately signed the forms and sent them to her.

I did not hear from her again. I wrote to her after waiting for a few days.

She replied:

THanks for resending, Rangoo!
I must have missed it…I just sent

Have a GREAT week!

Peace, Love, and Prosperity,
Constance

And I had received $32 in my PayPal account. That was the ‘blog success’ commission.

I wrote to her again and said:

Thanks Constance!

I am forwarding the email you had sent to me earlier. I thought you were clearing the DNA affiliate commission.

Rangoo

Constance replied:

Hey Rangoo,

Thanks for calling that to my attention, I thought you speaking
of BlogSuccess commissions .. lol

That DNA sale should have been voided, as it was a special
price we gave Chris to work with us. You must have been
cookied on his computer, hence you showed up as the
affiliate. I’m so sorry for the confusion, and for the inconvenice

We worked out a deal with Chris and gave him a deep discount
off that domain, it shouldn’t have been applicable for commissions,
but I guess that’s the downside to automation.

Keep promoting, though!!!!

Peace, Love, and Prosperity,
Constance

And she changed the affiliate stats:

I wrote back expressing my dissappointment. I thought both Jack Humphrey and Constance Humphrey were honest internet marketers. I would not have promoted them otherwise.

Constance Wrote again:

Hi Rangoo,

You of all people should know for sure that
we are great people!! This was a glitch in
the software, one of the unfortunate things
of automation. I should have caught it earlier,
and for that I’m sorry. I should have emailed
you the DAY Chris bought that domain at
a disounted rate. However, since he negotiated
the price with Jack and MOnica, and I”m the
one who sent him the link, I didn’t figure that
an affiliate would be attached to it

Again, I’m so sorry.

Peace, Love, and Prosperity,
Constance

Well, have you got your commissions? I hope I am not one among the many they have cheated.

Well, I also know there are many more who cheat their affiliates.

Let me end this sad note with a positive thought. I have great respect for the Traffic Geyser team. They are the best in paying affiliate commissions.

Traffic Geyser Commissions

Thanks in advance for posting a comment.

Update on October 14, 2009 – Traffic Geyser

Traffic Geyser has promptly sent me the payment a day earlier. I am supposed to receive the payment by October 15th.

Update Jan 24, 2010 – Traffic Geyser

Affiliates Beware!

I had signed the FirePow pledge long back. [Yes, you have to sign a pledge to use FirePow]. But I was too busy with other projects that I couldn’t start building sites.

If you are new to blogging you need FirePow. Firepow does everything automatically, including the installing and updating of all your plugins and you need not worry about anything.
