In February, Doug Champigny launched his PowerStart Marketing 2010 4-Week Intensive Coaching Program. I was fortunate to have been a part
of the launch and participate in the program.

Since that time, after several months of gathering questions and comments
from participants, Doug has revamped the program and extended it to an 8 week format.

The topics covered during the program remain basically the same. But, the content is much more in depth as a result of the feedback.

Some of the topics covered in the PowerStart Marketing Program include:

How to correctly install your WordPress blog, including plug-ins and connecting it to Web 2.0 sites to build your online presence.

Setting up your list building funnels.

Product creation, getting targeted traffic to you site, networking and much, much more.

And, of course, Doug provides step-by-step how-to training videos for each week along with weekly webinars to get you through any problems you may face and answer any questions.

If you are currently an online business owner or you are ready to take action to start your own online business, I highly recommend this program.

The same goes for anyone with an offline business who is ready to take advantage of the benefits of taking part in the online business community.

Deadline for the October 8 week program is Sunday, October 10, at midnight.

You’ve heard me say it before, the quickest way to online success is to get a proven system and follow it. And get yourself a mentor. Doing these two things will cut as much as years off the time it takes you to become successful.

With Doug’s PowerStart Marketing 2010 Coaching Program, you get the best of both.

You need this! Your business will love you for it. Your competition will not!

As you may know from my previous posts and Blog Talk Radio Show recordings, February was the launch of Doug Champigny’s PowerStart 2010 Internet Marketing Coaching Program, of which, I was privileged to be student.

To give you a little background on Doug, he is a 25 year marketing and and advertising expert. A business consultant, super affiliate, joint venture expert, author, speaker, an excellent instructor and a heck of a nice guy.

Now, I want to reinforce for you that this coaching program was not just another Internet Marketing ‘thing’. Obviously, given the current economic conditions, many people are turning to the Internet as a means to supplement their income or, as in many cases, create an income to support themselves and their families.

The problem is that there is just too much bad or incomplete information available to newcomers to our industry and Doug created this program and set it at a price point to get these folks going, without all the none sense.

As well as helping those who have already begun online to move forward confidently by teaching them the skills and providing resources to move their business forward.

Oh look! There’s a pop-up, with a question mark! Yes! You are wondering what we have done this past month. Well, fasten your seatbelts!

The first week we did keyword research to identify a niche, bought a domain name for it, set up our hosting, installed WordPress blog platform(from scratch, not thru Fantastico), installed a theme, added the plugins, connected the blog to social media sites, wrote articles, posted to our new blog, created a report from these articles, created and uploaded our squeeze page and set up our autoresponder.

Week two, he took it easy on us(yeah, right!), all we did was generate two products to sell, prepare the squeeze, thank you and download pages, upload to our hosting and put it all online.

Week three, we wrote more articles and submitted them to directories, learned to set up pod casts for our blogs and submit to directories. Learned how to create video and submit to directories. BTW, all of this is done using free tools. How cool is that!?

Week four was affiliate products, adding them to our blogs(in the coding, not widgets) and setting up redirects.

Can you feel the burn? All of this is done with step by step videos, audio, and a lot of patience and hand holding from Doug, which he is very good at.

Doug is an excellent taskmaster. Always there to answer questions and provide support. He doesn’t hold a gun to your head and that’s a good thing because, if he did, I would have some flow through ventilation going on right now.

So, there really only remains two questions:

1) What did you do last month? and

2) What are you going to do this month?

Yes, I very highly recommend Doug’s PowerStart 2010 Coaching Program. Whether you are just getting started or having trouble moving forward with your business.

You not only get all of this excellent training, you also meet some really cool people in the program. And when you are there, in the program, and wondering who you might do a joint venture or network with? Just look around at the other members.

Opportunity is constantly knocking. All you have to do is open the door!

Thanks for your time!

As always, at your service,

Jim

Our expert guests today are Lori Steffen and Jeff Wark. They specialize in helping people to create content quickly and easily. Content is essential on the internet – whether it’s for product creation, website content, email marketing, blog posts, and more. If you’re promoting yourself online you must know how to create content and how to do it quickly and easily so it doesn’t take up all of your time.

Lori and Jeff have helped people just get started in an online business as well as established professionals and offline businesses who are looking to promote themselves online.

Lori and Jeff shared how they became involved in niche marketing while attending a live event and becoming involved in a coaching program. Neither had any experience in marketing at the time, which is how many of us get started. Even while still working at a J.O.B.

Later at another conference, after developing skills at creating content and business development, they were called upon right from the group and introduced as the ‘Dynamic Duo of Content’ to give instruction to the group in content creation and even helped to create some products for some of the attendees.

Lori and Jeff gave us several ideas for creating content, as well as, reminding us to write down our ideas immediately rather than simply trying to remember them as they come. Jeff says that ‘The Gold Nugget’ is to create a content idea list.

Jeff also gave us some excellent ideas of repurposing your content to create several products from the content that you already have. Such as from ebooks.

Lori and Jeff suggested several sources for generating ideas for your content such as your keyword research, public domain materials, and already existing products related to your niche. As well as several tools to use to produce your content. certainly not all of which is writing.

Lori and Jeff  have created a Quick Content Creation System. They believe their system can be used to help anyone who would like to create more content and to do it faster and easier because it is the same system they used to take Jeff from hating to write two sentences to quickly and easily writing entire books. It worked for him and it has worked for many others who have experienced their training.

I hope that you have found this useful!

Be sure to join us on our next show. I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks again for your time!

We had a great show today with Mark Hendricks.

Mark Hendricks is a business and marketing expert; sales copywriter; joint venture specialist; software developer; an author, speaker, consultant, mentor, and success coach.

And we think that we have a busy day!

In our discussion, we covered some basic ideas about creating an online business and the mindset someone who, already has, or is thinking of starting an online business should have.

Also, a couple of the programs Mark offers, one that will get you get started and keep you growing in an online business. And another that will help develop a positive, productive mindset toward your business and your life.

The first program that we talked about is the Ultimate Success Program. In this, you are helped to develop the mindset that you need to achieve the greatest benefit of your life and business. You are, after all, already successful. Sometimes we just need a direction.

Oh! There’s one more very important thing that I need to tell you about the Ultimate Success Program. You can get it without cost! Yes, the entire fifty module program, at no cost. Well, almost!

Mark has set a goal of getting ‘one million’ members into the USP program ‘this year’. To realize this goal, he has decided to give you this program for a promise. Actually, there are two, but they are the same to save confusion.

You must promise, to yourself and to Mark, to complete the program in its entirety. Follow the worksheets, do the homework and interact in the forum. You owe it to yourself to do this!

The second is Mark’s flagship program, the Internet Success System. This system takes you step by step, through twelve modules, from the basics of creating an online business to the more advanced systems and techniques needed to keep it going and growing.

You see, the Internet Success System is not just a membership site. It is a mentoring and coaching program, a wealth training system, and a place for you to meet and share ideas with other very successful people.

We also talked about Mark’s preferred hosting company, joint ventures and the importance of attending live events. Like the event that Mark is hosting on January 15^th in Orlando, Florida, the Internet Super Stars Conference. This is an all business, hands on, educational workshop.

Now, this is just the beginning. We have many more Expert Speakers coming to share their knowledge and expertise with you.

All you have to do is attend the our show over at Blog Talk Radio. And take notes, of course!

See you there! And thanks for joining us!

Jim Berry
