Over the past few months, I’ve been sharing strategies on how to increase online sales and profits with my subscribers. It’s been a great series and it’s still growing strong (with 30 strategies shared so far). What I decided to do was put together a document that contains all the awesome money-boosting strategies I’ve share to date so that everyone, whether on my list or not, can have access to this wealth of practical insight and strategy. Ultimately, my goal is to hit 50-60 profit-pumping strategies, but I have a feeling we could go higher because there are so many excellent ways to increase your sales and profits.

To access the first 30 strategies and get a peek at what the next 20 or so will be, just click on the link provided below and download the PDF. Oh, and make sure you actually DO something with what I share (even though it’s free) or I’ll charge you next time…lol.

“50+ Strategies You Can Use Today to Increase Your Sales and Profit!”

TAXES…we ALL have to pay them…from income taxes and sales taxes to gas taxes and luxury taxes. We EVEN have to pay death taxes! We have no choice. Our tax money is “needed” so that our government can “pay for” all sorts of important stuff that is beneficial for us. You know the routine…you earn the money, give some of it to the government, and they spend it! And so “we the people” have developed a mindset that once that tax money leaves our paychecks, credit cards and checking accounts, it is GONE… FOREVER!

Once the money is spent by the government on important, necessary stuff it is no longer available to us because SPENT means, “it’s not ours anymore.” Right? NOT NECESSARILY! What if there was a way that you could get ALL your taxpayer dollars back and more…legally. Would you be interested? I knew you would be! Check this out:

I have been somewhat underground for the past few months…especially when it comes to the topic of the Public Domain. Well, that’s all about to change. Beginning October 1st, I’ve committed to a personal challenge of blogging about the Public Domain or related topics every day through the end of 2010…a good 90 days. The seed for this was planted by my friend, Dave Lakhani, but also encouraged by others as well.

So get ready for some great content of ALL types. The posts may be written, audio, video or all the above…and no, I don’t have the full 90 days planned out yet…grin. So…in the excitement of getting things started until the official kickoff day on Friday, here is a sweet site I’ve been using to find some stunning Public Domain content:

GPO Access: This is the ultimate search tool for finding federal publications. The results include descriptive records for historical and current publications and provides direct links to those that are available online. We’re talking 100′s of thousands of publications here on just about ANY topic know to man!

After a year-long hiatus from Tony’s Yard Sale, I have redesigned and updated the site to once again offer quality Marketing products at Yard Sale prices. This favorite site with visitors will once again offer new weekly deals and promotions, but will also now include opportunities for others to offer their products on the site as well. More details on how you can feature your products at Tony’s Yard Sale will be coming soon! Go check it out…and have fun shopping!

I recently took a road trip with my daughters and Mom. We traveled from Pennsylvania to Albuquerque and Santa Fe in New Mexico and to Mesa Verde and Durango in Colorado. We also stopped at the Cherokee Reservation in Oklahoma while we were at it. We drove (or more correctly, I drove) 4,650 miles in seven days. It was a pretty agressive trip to say the least. Still, we had loads of fun! During the trips, with the stops we made and the places we visited, I noticed over and over again all the products (of all types)  being sold that were based on Public Domain content in some form. I’m not just talking about a t-shirt or two at some out-of-the-way truck stop. EVERYWHERE we traveled or stopped was selling Public Domain-based products. It was pretty cool to see, actually.

What became apparent to me was how the core marketing strategy for selling the diversity of products was nearly the same in every case…and the funny thing is, it’s a strategy that almost no one in the internet marketing community is using. You can discover what this strategy is for yourself in my new, free report called, “Pimping the Public Domain.” You can download it by clicking the link below. Enjoy!

Pimping the Public Domain

Every year, the United States spends billions of taxpayer dollars to produce all types of information products that are meant to inform, improve and enhance the lives of Americans. But did you realize that content produced by Federal employees in the course of their work duties is in the Public Domain? Yep! This government content includes books, reports, audios, photographs, videos, manuals, language tools and about every other type of media available. What this means for you is that you have access to yet another amazing source for content for your next information product.

In this post, I thought I would share some of my personal favorite government websites for finding great content. Of course, as with any product creation strategy, you need to have an idea of the niche(s) you need content for. One note of caution here…not EVERYTHING on Federal websites is in the Public Domain. Make sure you read the copyright statements on the websites you visit. Occasionally, the U.S. Government will sub-contract or joint venture with an outside vendor to produce the content. In some of those cases, the content may be copyrighted.
