Lightning struck near our home office July 22nd and fried my computer, my modem, my wireless system, and my phone. Not a good day.

How did it happen? The electrical surge hitched a ride over the cable line and went right into all the equipment -- even when it was all unplugged from the wall. Be warned: Back up everything, and unplug ALL connections during storms.

Thank you for helping Jason's mom.

She raised $7,000 in 72 hours, thanks to online marketers who promoted her need and forfeited all their profits, and thanks to your kindness. This is a positive use of the Internet and one of the great reasons I love you all. (If you still want to get her software, knowing all the money goes to her hospital bills, see http://www.smartauthor.com

A great place to actually watch old political television commercials of presidential candidates is - http://livingroomcandidate.movingimage.us/index.php

A great place to get an education in direct selling as it's done on TV is at http://www.asseenontv.com/

You are NUTS if you still haven't purchased "378 Internet Marketing Predictions." I LOVE this two-volume collection. There are so many money-making product ideas in it that you would have to be brain-dead not to see at least a dozen of them at first reading. Get it. See http://url123.com/hca58 or http://snipurl.com/Predictions.

Note: I'll be interviewing the author of the predictions book on August 3rd at 4 pm Central time. Make note and call 507-726-3200 and enter 44455# on that date and at that time.

UNUSUAL: If you're ready for a mind-expanding website, see this one on Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing. http://snipurl.com/remoteview

AWESOME: Subscriber Nancy Binzen just created something truly unique, positive, and clever. Wisdom Tracks is a "Story Jukebox" that reduces stress, strengthens the immune system, opens the heart and delights the spirit. The initial audio library consists of more than 80 stories and traditional music from around the world by multiple artists. Like Apple's iTunes, you can download any piece that strikes your fancy for just 99¢. See http://www.wisdomtracks.com

GIFT: You can hear a lively interview with me talking about how
to write your own e-book, and sell it, at-- http://www.recognizedexpert.com/golivepages/members/joevitale.html

TIP: I love publicity. You should, too. A great way to get the media to cover you and send traffic to your site is to simply create your own holiday. It doesn't have to be a holiday, of course. It can be goofy. Or real. For complete details on how to do it, see the new book "Wacky Days!" by T.S. Peric. Just go see - http://www.wackydays.com

WARNING: I love eBay. But the motto there should be "Buyer beware." Recently Kevin Hogan was about to bid on thousands of dollars of rare gold coins.

He looked at the seller's feedback and saw it was 100% positive. But Kevin looked at what the seller had bought before, and one of the items was a list of names of people who would leave positive feedback on eBay. (!) Again, buyer beware.

CONSIDER: Someone wrote me after getting my email about "378 Internet Marketing Predictions."

He wanted to know how many of them were true.

Huh? These are "predictions", not today's facts.

For me, I think most if not all of them will turn out to be reality. If nothing else, it will help you think about new ways to succeed online. For only $67, these two volumes of 378 ideas are priceless. Get it at http://snipurl.com/Predictions

ALERT: Dan Kennedy is doing a push in August to make his three new books best-sellers. I'm a major fan of Dan's writing so get his books. See an interview with him at my site right now: Click here.

NEW: What is "The Myth of Passive Income"? Twenty-two of the top internet superstars talk about the myth and reality of passive income. It's a fascinating look inside the minds of these folks, as they tell you what they did wrong, and how they managed to eventually get it right. See http://www.MythofPassiveIncome.com

CASE STUDY: A friend of mine is selling a product off a website and using Google Ads to market it. I asked him if he was listing one of his products on eBay, too. He looked surprised and asked, "Why would I do that?"

EBay is more than a place to buy and sell goods. It's also a powerful marketing tool. If you aren't doing this, you are missing one of the easiest ways to market your products online.

The CD set I recorded for Dr. Robert Anthony, titled "Beyond Positive Thinking," sells like crazy. It should. It's the greatest self-improvement material of all time. To sell it, I urged everyone on my list to buy a copy or get off my list. That's how much I believe in it. But I am also running Google Ads. And on top of that, I list one set on EBay every few weeks.

Why bother with eBay? Ebay receives millions of hits a day. People go there to buy, sell, browse, and research. When I list a set there, I am seen by people who may never have seen the program before. I've just reached a whole new audience. The trick to making this work is to list my website within the body of the eBay listing.

In other words, take one of your products and list it on eBay. Be sure to write a headline that will pull in the right audience. Key words for my set would be "Robert Anthony" and either "self-improvement" or "goals." People are typing in all of those words at eBay when doing their searches.

Now, in the body of the listing, mention your website. You could actually use your entire website in the eBay description. In my case, I tell people they can hear a 17-minute audio excerpt from the course at http://www.BeyondPositiveThinking.com This sends them to the actual site, of course.

Do you see how this works? People go to eBay and search for Robert Anthony, goals, or self-improvement. They find my listing. They see the copy, urging them to go to the site. Now they will either bid on the eBay listing or buy the product at the site. Either way, it's a win.

Even if you auction off one of your products for a penny, it is worth it. The enormous exposure you get from an eBay listing is priceless. Many people are selling their products *only* on eBay, not even worrying about websites or Google Ads. That's how powerful eBay is as a marketing tool.

So let's use my friend as a case study. His product is a set of audio CD's based on a book about the controversial self-growth training called est. His site is at http://www.carlfrederick.com He doesn't get many sales from the site. And he doesn't see much reason to post on eBay.

I went on eBay and searched the word "est." There were no listings for the est training. This could be a perfect opportunity for my friend's product. He should list his product, using est in the headline.

I then did a search on Werner Erhard, the founder of the training. There were two listings. One was for a tape set with the buy-it-now price of $265. Obviously, listing "Werner Erhard" in the headline would get traffic. His name is hot.

Finally, on my last search for this quick test, I searched "est: playing the game the new way," which was the title of Frederick's book and my friend's product. Nothing came up.

You should do more than the obvious when doing searches to see what people may be looking for. But based on my turbocharged look, I'd say my friend should list his product with a headline such as, "Werner Erhard banned est audios." At least with that headline we would attract any obvious matches for the product. But just as with using Google Ads, the choice of key words is important.

Finally, my friend should list his product with his website in the body of the description. Just be careful of the phrase you use. When you use the phrase "visit our website at...," you'll get an Ebay warning. But when you change it to simply "visit...," it will work.

Again, whether he sells one product for a dime or not doesn't matter. Ebay will have been a marketing tool broadcasting his site to an entire new audience for him.

You can do this, too.

Try it and see.

TIP: Nerissa owns rental property. In the past, whenever a tenant moved out, it was always a challenge for her to get new people. Not any more.

Today she lists on http://www.Craigslist.com Within two days of putting a post there, she had four applications and money in hand from a potential renter. Craigslist is all over the US.

People post things they want to sell, give away, find, or meet. Their site is basic, but the fact remains: It gets results. It will be in other countries soon. Check it out.

TIP: Friend and subscriber Nick Hetcher is available for professional voice work. Put any kind of voice on your site. See http://www.NickVoice.com
