I had the privilege of speaking about driving traffic and ranking on the first page of Google.  It was awesome and Terry Wygal has a great group of attendees.  Here’s our Q&A session tonight.Great chance to meet up with fellow mastermind members, Paul Evans, Terry Wygal, Jeff Vacek and Carrie Wilkerson.  Enjoyed meeting John DiLemme and seeing Perry Lawrence again.

Also….fantastic networking with the people in this great event.  If you haven’t attended a live event this year, find one now and meet some new potential partners.

Steve,
 
I am going to be needing to buy a new computer soon.  What should I be thinking about getting (amount of RAM, hard drive space etc.) to support an internet business?  Also, I am wondering about the legal end of things.  What should I be aware of, or what are some legal areas we should be looking into?
 
Thanks.
Randy Hansen

Randy,

Just about ANY new computer you buy today that has Internet connectivity will do. I have run my online business with $1200 laptops …and with $500 laptops. And there has not been a lot of difference between them!

Just make sure you have plenty of hard drive space if you plan on doing videos - or get an external hard drive like a Maxtor. You should probably have one of those to back up your computer anyway.

I have found that a laptop lasts about 2.5 - 3 years. I rarely have one that lasts longer no matter how much I pay, so you might as well pay less (and I have owned probably 25 laptops over the years!). The only caveat is if you can get an on site warranty - I find it worth the money. Meaning, they come to your house to fix the computer. Very convenient and keeps you from sending your computer back to the manufacturer and waiting 3 weeks to get your computer back!

As far as legal issues, here’s my standard reply. Only spend money for protection when you have something valuable to protect. Meaning, don’t buy a $5000 safe for a $100 pistol. Same with information products. Don’t spend $2000 incorporating yourself when you’ve only sold 10 ebooks. Wait until you are making a six-figure income on the internet before you start creating legal entities. However, I am not a lawyer …nor do I play one on TV!

Under-promise and over-deliver and you should be fine.

Stephen and Kerry Beck here with a follow-up on our webinar, “The 5 Secrets To Making Quick Cash on eBay…Just in Time For Christmas!”

Here are some other comments from the webinar:

I would recommend this to a friend. Such great content, without the $5000 price tag. Biggest take away - Writing my listings to
appeal to people’s emotions, and to be benefit and story driven.
Heather Trimmer Camarillo, CA

Great way to find out the specifics of selling online and have the security of using a proven system.
Becci Cutting Unadilla, NY

I’d recommend Kerry’s ebay course because it’s clear she knows what she’s talking about, plus she knows how to organize the
course step-by-step. Biggest takeaway - You are not your market AND you never know what is going to sell on eBay.
Deborah Gallardo Fredericktown, OH

Creating your own product by using kunaki to sell eBooks.
Val Pope Matthews, NC

I’d recommend this program. I’d say it’s put together by the nicest people who have the necessary patience to guide a total
neophyte through the hoops.
Leila Nicols New York, NY

It is simple, step by step that anyone can follow and be successful. It is possible to make a reasonable profit on ebay
with a little direction.
Jim Miller Marengo, IL

Biggest takeaway - #4 Secret Techniques: write about the benefits not just the features. Also, the sale price of Kerry’s course.
Nanette Niece Huntington Beach, CA

Sounds like the best EBay course that I’ve ever heard of.
Bonnie Williams Columbus, MS

Kerry is the one to use or recommend to anyone that wants to start or expand their eBay business quickly and with total
confidence.
Janet Hudspeth Fresno, CA

This appears to be a very good and time saving resource for anyone who wants to get started or improve their business on
ebay. It’s a great way to save time and greatly increase your chances of being effective and successful.
Keith Steincamp Norman, OK

Here is an important update…

On this groundbreaking free event, using the latest webinar technology, Steve and I will show you the “The 5 Secrets To Making Quick Cash on eBay”. We’ll show you how to create your very own eBay business that can make you money in time for Christmas!

Don’t delay and kick yourself later.

I’m finally getting a breather this week…no traveling.  Last weekend I
went to my first chili cook-off in 6 years.  Yeah, you’re right!  There
weren’t any chili cook-offs in Idaho.  I spent the weekend in Flatonia,
Texas with my chili cook-off buddies and my guitar.  I even won Bunco
against the ladies in the booth next to us.

When Kerry called on Saturday, I was in line to be a judge.  She was a bit
surprised, but figured I might know a little bit about chili since I entered
a contest before we left for Idaho.

I plan to be home for the next several weeks and try to catch up on a little
work.  The next time I’ll leave town is November 14-16, 2008.  Actually
Kerry & I will both be going to Houston and we’d love to meet you there.

That’s when my good friend, Terry Wygal, is hosting a really cool event in
Houston, Texas.  With the economy having major problems, Terry is pulling
together some experts to help you make a financial blueprint for your online
business.

http://blueprint.familye-biz.com

Let’s face it…
The economy and the nation have been rocked hard!
And… I’m sure you are Sick And Tired of living Paycheck to Paycheck?

So, why should you listen to my friend, Terry?.  How will Terry’s event be
different?

Last week we told you about a social media site that can really help your business. Today I want to share about it.

Twitter

You might be saying to yourself, “What is Twitter? It sounds like stream of conscious thinking…with no real point.” That was my initial reaction (& Steve’s too). I thought it was a complete waste of time to twitter what I was doing. Until I used it for business.

A few weeks ago we hosted a webinar about getting more customers. We had 576 visitors to our webinar page. 68 of our visitors were from twitter. That means 11% came directly from twitter. How cool is that! A new way to drive traffic and get visitors to your sites.

If you need more visitors, take a look at twitter. In fact, you can follow me on twitter and see what I”m doing. You can set up a free account and then start following others.
Here’s my link: http://twitter.com/kerrybeck
Here’s Steve’s link http://twitter.com/stephenbeck

When you get there, just find the follow button. You can watch our twitters to see what kinds of things we twitter about.

Steve & I are in Yanik Silver’s mastermind and he said the same thing earlier this year. “Twitter is a waste of time.” But, he changed his mind as he saw the value of using it in his business.

Before I leave, I want you to know that I DO NOT twitter only promotions. I try to balance my “tweets” with personal comments, posts to other people’s sites, responding to others and finally tweets about a promotion.

If all you do is tweet about your articles or your promotions, twitterville will get tired of you and not read what you are writing.

Kerry

http://www.8WeeksToProfits.com/ArticleMarketing/

This last week, I’m sure you’ve heard lots about the economy. How this is the worst economy since the Stock Market Crash of 1929. How we need to find a solution. Sure, the economic situation affects your business and your means to provide for your family, but you don’t need to worry

Why not worry?

The answer occurred to me while I was singing in church yesterday. The words we sang continue with me this week….”How Great Thou Art!”

God is so much greater than anything that happens on earth …and that includes the economy. Steve & I are thankful that we have someone greater than ourselves who is looking out for us.

All you have to do is look at history and see that we will make it through the downtimes of a spiraling economy. Of course, we should also learn the lessons from history. We’ve repeated some of history’s mistakes and that is what got us here in the first place. But, we can rest assured that God is greater than our mistakes …even our country’s economic mistakes.

Another song that comes to mind during these difficult days goes like this:

Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.
Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure.

Isn’t it comforting to know that God is sufficient for us, as we ride the “stormy blast” of America’s economical fall. We truly believe that God will provide our needs and see us through this

This is Stephen and Kerry Beck with FamilyEbiz. We want to personally thank you for registering for our “Getting Massive Traffic To Your Website” Webinar!.

If you haven’t seen the replay, here’s the link:

We’re writing to you because you are still undecided as to whether our Gold Inner Circle will be a benefit to you.

First, we completely understand your hesitation.

With the economy the way it is, we realize your timidity.  Everything is in limbo right now and you might not even know if your job is secure.

So we understand you not wanting to be taken advantage of…

But, the only thing you can do to ride out a downturn in the economy is take control for yourself. The best way we know to do that is to have your own business that will turn into full time income and not be dependent on the economy or an employer.

Kerry’s friend, Cheryl, wrote her earlier this week …
“The economy sucks, this is the BEST time …to start a business”

Have you started your business?

We want to help you right now…Turn Over A New Leaf!

We’ve stumbled upon ways to grow our business, as well as ways to increase our website traffic, getting more customers to buy our products and being paid very well.  This gives us a tremendous amount of freedom, even when our economy is not the best.

What we shared on Wednesday’s webinar was the easiest, cheapest way to get visitors to your website.  You read that right!  It’s the cheapest way to increase your website traffic.  If you have more time than money, following our SEO suggestions is the easiest way to grow your business.

Kerry & I want your success so badly, we made some new videos with step-by-step directions on how to get on the first page of Google.  They’re all on our gold website.

We’re not gurus. We don’t have a 20,000 plus email list. We don’t have big name partners who will email to huge lists for us. We’re just the couple next door that makes an extraordinary income on the Internet.

And most of that is in niches OTHER THAN “MAKE MONEY” NICHES!

So, how can we assure you that you will not be taken advantage of…that we take care of our members?

What if we give you something of incredible value that will insure our part of the bargain? Think of it as collateral…

We will give you something of immense value so that even if we fail to give you massive  value in the Gold Membership (which we won’t!), you would have this other immensely valuable asset to fall back on…

If you invest in our Gold Member Inner Circle for one year, we will GIVE you a copy of either “8 Weeks To Profits” (I sell this course all of the time on my web site for $697) or “Secrets To Building Sites That Sell” (This one I sell on my web site for $497)!

And you can choose a monthly or annual subscription!

Seriously. You are getting a hugely popular course for free and lots of access to me and Kerry in the Gold Member Inner Circle. There is no risk here ..how can you lose?

So go right now and check out this incredible deal for yourself.
Here is the link:
==> http://www.8WeeksToProfits.com/gold.php

Bottom line…Kerry and I want to help you launch an online business. We know what it’s like to struggle doing this. We can help you through it. {!firstname_fix}, Will you let us help you?

Blessings,

Stephen and Kerry Beck

PS…Don’t sit on the fence any longer …make a change … hop down from that fence and read the letter I have written to you (see link below):
