Oh joy and celebrations. Saturday, August 4th 2007, I got married to my beautiful Tonje. I'll refrain from making this post into a marketing lesson. It is just a tribute to life and love. Happy days :-) Love, Sten

Tomorrow, Mark Roth is launching a tool that lets you take your Google AdWords account, export it, and put everything from it into Yahoo and MSN AdCenter. I know there is much more traffic and profit out there... ... I've wanted to start using my other PPC accounts properly, but time-problems have always stopped me. The software does a lot of other things as well, but that's the part that gets

This article really hit the spot for what the Rich Programmer blog is all about. It describes how you can squeeze more money out of any webpage where you're selling stuff by testing conversion... but in a fantastically new, free, advanced way. If you combine Google Website Optimizer with the Google Analytics tool, you can get all sorts of wonderful conversion statistics that you otherwise

Just to see that we're getting somewhere... Love, Sten

I've said it before, but it is only when I grow that my business grows. For a long, long time, I've been very afraid of intimidating my list with too many emails. Even though I planned on sending them 2 emails a week, I hesitated writing those emails. I never did. And so there was nothing for me to add to the autoresponder. I do answer all emails from customers, and when there has been

In the spirit of Christmas, I've decided to give you a little gift. For the last couple of weeks, I've been reading a book that is absolutely life-changing. I've heard about it many times, for years, but it didn't appeal to me... ...Even though so many succesful people talk about it, and have told again and again how it changed their lives, how they read it once a year, how it is the best

Okay, so my son, Jasper, was born September 28th. And everything changed. Life, fragile and short, has no guarantees. There are no securities -- only possibilities. And so I realise -- again -- that what is holding me back, what is holding my business back, is, yup, me. And that when I do what I've always done, I get the results I've always got. Small, incremental improvements. Which are great

As an addendum to yesterday's post on global warming, it seems the evidence is becoming too clear to deny. Satellite pictures recently showed a polar route going from Spitzbergen (Norwegian territory up north) to the North Pole. Yes, an open sea route where a ship probably could sail... ...to the North Pole! Full story at Yahoo News. Shocking! Love, Sten

This blog is definitively about making money, and there is nothing wrong with that. But all the money you could wish for is no good if -- 1) you don't have a good health to enjoy it with or 2) there is no world for you to enjoy it in Usually I'm focusing on the first point, getting my exercise, eating healthy and all that jazz. But reading this article in the Guardian today made me stop to

Early May this year, my doctor told my I was pre-diabetic. He said my blood sugar levels were running wild, and it was all, he said, probably due to stress. He went on to say that if I wanted to continue working as much as I did, both having a 100% day job, and running my own business nights and weekends, I would have to start exercising. Now, I haven't exercised for almost 15 years. So this

Okay, as the business grows, I learn more and more that what they same about time is true. Time is your most valuable resource. And it is very scarce. When your business grows, so do the demands on your time. Customer service, for example, is a big one. Everyone who lost their download link, sends you an email and need an answer. Everyone who dislikes your marketing, sends you an email and

I thought it was time to step back and see where we're at. Even though it seems to me that nothing is moving further, when I do look at the results just three or four months ago, I realise that is not true. Stuff is happening. I'm still moving forward. Very exciting stuff indead. Just this week, I had my first day of more than 1000 visitors... yes, unique ones! Mostly, they come from Google

I just learned this from Marlon Sanders. Try this on for size. Do a Google search for $5000. Do a Google search for boot camp. You'll find niches where people are already spending big money. If you find a service that sells for $5000, or a boot camp that sells fo $4000, maybe people would be willing to pay $1000 for a related information product? Happy hunting! Love, Sten

To set the scene: if you haven't heard about Mark Joyner, you haven't been on the Internet Marketing scene for very long (as they say). He is very good at what he does. He has made a lot of money. And now he's writing books about it. His last book, "The Irresistible Offer", is standing here on my book shelf right next to me, and I can tell you, it is brilliant. Today, May 19th, he's launching

It's been almost ten months since the last time I showed you a ClickBank screen shot. At the time, I'd made $140 in a fortnight, and was ecstatic. In 10 months time, I've been able to multiply that by about 4. And I'm still very much working on it. I'll tell you more about how, soon. Love, Sten

If you are not split testing, you are crazy. It is commonly known that the if your headline does not grab your visitors interest in a few seconds, she is lost. Gone forever. Bye bye. So how on Earth is she going to buy anything from you, if she leaves your site? She isn't! Damn. So the better the headline, the more sales. Now if you change your headline, how do you know if it is better? I

Just a quick note to say that this looks interesting: CB Clicks -- a free viral marketing tool for Clickbank merchants. Sten Update Thu Mar 16, 2006: I still haven't received a single sale from CB Clicks, so I've removed the code. I also discovered it added an annoying pop-up to this blog! Sorry! It is gone, dead, finito!

In my last post, I said I'd done two things right lately, and I talked about one of them, capturing your visitors name and email address. The other tecnhique that has boosted my sales lately, is finding out what my customers want, and then personalizing the sales letter to their desire. I also include their name in the sales copy. This process has two stages. 1) Set up an email-squeeze page

Wow it's working! I'm making between $20-$40 dollars every day now. Yeah, I know, I can't live off of that, but it's going in the right direction, and I'm so excited! What happened is I started doing two things right. One I've talked about before in this blog. It is the need to capture your visitors information -- the first name and an email address will do just fine. If you ask people for

They all say the money is in the list. I've been talking about it before in this blog as well. An Internet Marketer is an Email Marketer. At least all successful Internet Marketers are email marketers. The Logic The logic is simple and easy to grasp. If you pay someone to send you traffic, then if you don't capture those people's email addresses, they will be lost to you. However, if you do

Okay, so I'm sort of getting somewhere. It's not much, I know, but I finally have something to work on. A site where I can use all the methods the gurus and the high priests of internet marketing preach. The things is... it is still so hard to keep focused! I get tempting emails every day. Maybe this other opportunity is better. Maybe there is more traffic there... maybe it is something people

I am ecstatic. After having read about Internet Marketing for 1,5 years; after having bought books, dvds, software, and cds; after receiving 10,8 tonns of "helpful" email messages, I've finally been able to set up a website that is making money. The Truth I have read this a thousand places, but I really didn't believe it until I tried it myself. The truth is: it is fine to be an affiliate, but

When you've got a web site that is actually selling something, what you need is more traffic! I'll tell you in a couple of days about three projects I'm running, and why I am currently trying any traffic tool I can get my hands on. Love, Sten
