The hype of this product has been enormous, leave it to Simon and Jeremy, but I have to tell you, if you have a website, you really, really need this product. If you are looking for real traffic to your website, you need Underground Traffic Blueprints.  The intro videos, and the sample videos have really been a little ‘lacking’, but I figured, for $77.00 (price may have gone up since this post) it’s worth it, just to see what is inside. When I first logged in I found sets of videos.

Underground Traffic Blueprints

In this section there are 4 phases, phase 1 through 4. The phases do not make sense as each seem to be completely different sections on how to generate tons and tons (millions) of visitors to your website, so listen up… Here are the details on how I see the Phases:

1. Phase 1 goes into a unique Google Adwords technique that I’ve heard of recently. It includes complete details on how to go through the entire process, from top-to-bottom, it’s very well documented. I’ve seen some of this covered before, but this one goes into full details. It starts at the ‘newbie’ level and even if you know nothing about how to do some of these things you can learn quickly by watching the videos.  (this includes 6 videos ranging from 4 minute to 22 minutes, the total running time here is: (62 Minutes).
2. Phase 2 covers how to use blogs to generate up to 8 million visitors to your blog, yes MILLION!  It may sound impossible, or ridiculous, but after watching the videos I can tell you it is not, if you dedicate the time to it. There are 2 videos here (47 minutes and 26 minutes)
3. Phase 3 looks at article marketing in great detail. I’m talking about ‘Guerilla Article Marketing’ here, how to write an article fast, get it up on the directories and get traffic to the article. It’s well documented in 4 videos. Some of the techniques I already knew about, but others I have not, just this one phase alone is worth the price of admission… but it gets better (read below). The 4 videos total (73 minutes).
4. Phase 4 is the biggest of all and covers Social Network Traffic building (everything from facebook to press releases, etc). The 3 videos are 54, 12 and 29 minutes totalling: (95 minutes).  This is a huge but there is a bonus that spends over 2 hours covering just Facebook Marketing!  I’m watching that now… but I learned a lot just in this phase with techniques that made perfect sense and actually turned on a light-bulb compared to some of the other ‘Facebook Training’ I have seen in the last 2 weeks or so… I’ve been gearing up for Facebook marketing lately.

Ok, I now see the phases are laid out differently. I don’t understand lumping all of these videos together, but they are all on one page and actually the phases I describe above are really Phase 1 and Phase 2, then there are 2 more phases after this: Phase 3 – Underground SEO Tactics, and Phase 4 – Underground Massive Traffic Blueprint, wow this Phase thing is confusing, but like I said it is really of no use anyway as the videos are grouped together in 3-4 video segments covering a major topic in each, splitting them into phases is really not of much use, and there’s no reason I can see that you have to do Phase 1 first, then Phase 2, etc, etc… in fact you could pick and choose any of these Video Segments at a time and go from there…

Underground Ad Secrets

Ok, that just about covers it – but, as I said I’m diving into the Bonus Videos which are: Underground Ad Secrets. This entire 4 video series covers Facebook Ads and how to do it, from soup to nuts, it’s all in there… I’m still watching these videos, they total 33, 39, 44, and 46 minutes! Do you see what I mean, wow, over 2.5 hours of material here, and it’s great content and techniques with full details.

Well, I think I’ve about covered it… I have to go back now to watching video, and if you haven’t guessed by now – I highly recommend you check this out and give it a listen. If you have a website and you want more traffic, there is no better way to generate it than by watching these videos, as it’s all layed out for you in bite size steps (just watch a series, or group at a time and don’t pay attention to the phases).

He had his company (Simpleology) create a Multi-Media Blogging Course that he wants to get feedback on, so grab your own copy – following the instructions below, then pop back here and tell me what you think by posting a comment to this post – happy blogging…

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

There is one reason I feel that this is shocking, and it’s something that everyone who works at a job in a retail environment.  Just a few days ago the news reads – Amazon posts it’s largest Holiday Season profit!  What should this tell you? Several things, and here they are…

Reasons why the 2008 Holiday Retail failure is important to everyone

1. It’s the brick and mortar, real storefront stores that are having a hard time making it and things are probably going to get worse.
2. Online retailers are still cranking out the profits in record amounts, they are unaffected by these problems.
3. Any job related to the retail industry is in trouble.
4. People, in general are shopping less and less in real stores, and more and more in online environments.

I think you can see the trend here, as the real storefronts (brick and mortar stores) face disastrous consequences in recession, the online retailers and those in online business are doing just fine (thank you).   Why is that important to ‘honest Joe’ on the street?   Because, in my opionion, if you haven’t started to think about how you can become a part of the online business bonanza, you should be!

I have ran my own online business for over 11 years now, through tough times and good times, and I can honestly say that the profits and the ability to earn an income online is just as secure.  I believe it is even more secure than most jobs in real ‘brick’ stores, or locations where you will have to worry about how every economic downturn, or upswing will affect your salary or benefits.

What are the simple things anyone can do to consider an online business?

1.) Visit Finding Your Niche Live and find out where your real strengths are.
2.) Check out this post on my blog about how anyone can start making money – with or without technical skills.
3.) Determine a “plan of action” for 2009 that includes additional online revenue streams that you can use to make your income more secure.
4.) Sign up as an affiliate of Amazon and learn how to sell Amazon products and collect some of their record profits for yourself, this could include blogging posts, reviews of products, or even setting up a basic referral page on a free service such as Google ‘Sites’.

I bet you will feel a little more secure in 2009 if you start planning any type of online income for yourself. Start doing it now, or at least thinking about it, your life will change, and you will be less affected by the crazy economic news that’s been going on.

Best of luck and to your Profit and Success,
-Brett

1.) Website Magazine – a completely free magazine that covers all of the bases.  When I first found out about this I thought it was too good to be true.  A free sample came to my mailbox, and now that I’ve read the last 15-20 issues, I have to say, this is one of my top favorites, and best of all, it’s free.   Get your free copy at this address: http://www.websitemagazine.com/scripts/sub/subscribe.aspx
Check it out at this address: http://www.websitemagazine.com

2.) The Net Effect – owned by Stomper Net, this great magazine just started a few months ago. I can tell from the content that this is going to be a great magazine. Everything is covered, SEO in great detail, linking, customer service and support, analytics and analysis, blogging, web audio and video. The magazine averages about 50 pages/month, the articles are detailed and actionable (they focus on you taking action) and it even includes a ‘How to turn this issue into a Goldmine!’ page at the end of each issue with 15-20 things you can follow up on from that issue. Great stuff. Unfortunately right now they are no longer accepting subscriptions, but you owe it to yourself to sign up for the waiting list, here’s the website to do it at: http://stse2.com/. The magazine goes for around $40/month and an additional $20/month for an accompanying DVD.

3.) Dot Com Profits – Russel Brunson’s magazine is a joy to read and also full of valuable content, just not quite as much as The Net Effect, but almost. The number of articles are fewer, but longer, and a DVD/video is included with each issue. I think this one runs $39.97, more info at: http://membershipsite.dotcomsecrets.com/

That wraps up my list for now, stay tuned and I’ll post others that I find useful – or post a comment and let me know of some that you enjoy…

 I thought I would let you in on them here, just in case you’re looking to do some serious blogging to attract Adsense dollars, or any others.  I do not have much experience in this area, and would prefer that you look at these other sites, they really know their stuff, and there is money to be made in blogging – but again, it all comes down to 1.) Finding a Profitable Niche that you enjoy first. 2.) You really need to be sure it’s profitable, unless your blogging for fun – which is fine too. 3.) Find and setup a good theme in WordPress, as it’s essential to attracting readers.  Some people will do this the faster way by choosing BlogSpot.com, or Blogger.com which will let you setup a free Blog – that’s fine too – but if you really want to get serious, get setup with a hosting company, purchase a domain name, and get WordPress setup.  As far as Hosting companies are concerned – there’s one great one for beginners, and others (I use it myself).  It’s cheap, reliable, and easy to use – you can setup a WordPress Blog with 1 Click – the host: HostGator – check them out – I recommend starting with at least the ‘Baby Croc’ package.

After that you need to get setup for Adsense, and insert your adsense codes throughout your blog – then you can get started tracking how that is going. I’ll put together a short video on this in the next few days – and we can go from there.

Here are the really great Internet Marketing Blogs I found:
I Gotta Tell You – Jim Edward’s excellent (and long-standing) blog on Internet Marketing – I’ve been a follower of his work for years.
Court’s Internet Marketing School an excellent blog with Videos, and tutorials, well worth the read.
Yaro Starak’s Entrepreneur’s Journey is well done, includes video tutorials and free eBook.
Grizzly’s How To Make Money Online for Beginners and excellent blog – poorly designed, but still a great read.
Daily Blog Tips a good starting point – mostly themes, plugins and tips on setting up WordPress effectively.
ProSense – an AdSense Ready WordPress Theme to get you started.
