Happy Easter!  Today I spent some time educating myself on a brand new Internet Marketing tool that will be released later this week. It’s called “IM Eye” and it’s another cutting-edge product created by Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey (best known so far for their very comprehensive Commission Blueprint 2.0, which I’ve recommended previously).

What makes “IM Eye” so valuable is that it reverses the usual hit-or-miss process of trying to find the right keywords for attracting visitors to your website or your online ads.  As Steve Clayton puts it, instead of you trying to find the right keywords, IM Eye is designed to “let the right keywords [i.e., the most worthwhile marketing opportunities] find you!”  If you’re curious, check out Steve’s pre-launch IMEye demonstration video.

That new product, along with their existing arsenal of several other top-notch Internet Marketing tools, might give you an idea of why I am so looking forward to participating in Steve and Tim’s upcoming Las Vegas seminar in June.  (That’s the one where each attendee will leave with a 6-month business plan for creating a consistent online income.)  I am so glad I acted quickly (please note:  I did not procrastinate!)  when the e-mail announcment for that event came out a couple of weeks ago, because it is limited to only a hundred participants (which is very small in comparison to most other such seminars) and it did, predictably, sell out within a couple of days.  There will be some people coming from as far away as Europe and Australia, but all I have to do is traverse the 700 or 800 miles between Portland and Vegas.  I think I can handle that!  (And right now, after a week of chilly rain in the Northwest  that feels more like January than April,  those 100F-degree dry summer days in Vegas don’t sound too bad!)

I also spent some time earlier today on the Google AdWords site, where I opened an account several months ago and had even made some half-hearted attempts at running “cost-per-click” (CPC) ads of my own.  I will do so again in the future, but not until I feel like I really know what I’m doing.  As I’ve mentioned in earlier posts, winning at the Adwords game has become a lot more complicated than just being willing to pay more per click than your competitors (which, believe it or not, doesn’t even guarantee that your ad will be in the top spot!).   I sometimes think that the single most important thing I could do to achieve my goal of having a successful online business is to zero in on Google AdWords  and learn everything I can about it. That’s exactly what Greg Cesar from Atlanta  (whom I’ve mentioned before)  has done.  Several years ago he decided to become an AdWords expert exclusively, and it has paid off nicely for him. (You can check out Greg at www.TheAdWordsDominator.com.)

Finally, if you’re wondering how I’m doing on that jigsaw puzzle I featured in yesterday’s post, I am making progress, although it is very slow.  That artist’s whimsical view of the Seattle waterfront is a very “busy” scene with lots and lots of little details.  But no, I haven’t cheated and looked at the picture on the box—and I’m determined not to!  When it’s all finished, I’ll take a new photo and you’ll see it here…..
