			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I know, it&#8217;s been awhile since I posted to this blog.  Slap<br />
me on the wrist - bad publisher. Sometimes you have to focus on<br />
what pays the bills. And I&#8217;ve been really busy running promotions<br />
and building up my other niche sites, all while trying to be the<br />
best &#8217;stay at home dad&#8217; I can be. </p>
<p>The truth is, I make less than 5% of my income from the &#8216;work at<br />
home in your pajamas&#8217; niche - even though it&#8217;s what I&#8217;m most<br />
passionate about. Therefore, when you see these PublisherAcademy<br />
communications from me, you know I&#8217;m mainly doing it to teach and<br />
give back. Not to mention that I enjoy talking about this stuff.</p>
<p>One of my goals for the New Year is to get more involved in this<br />
niche. I think I have some knowledge and experience people can<br />
learn from being that I&#8217;ve been doing this since 2001 and have<br />
grossed over a million dollars in sales after starting out with<br />
about $200.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the beauty of the Internet. There is no other business you<br />
can start in your spare time with little or no startup capital, no<br />
barriers to entry and zero risk. With real income and all the tax<br />
benefits of owning a business.</p>
<p>Think about that for a moment. It defies everything you&#8217;ve been<br />
taught about business.</p>
<p>Websites, blogs, ebooks, videos, audios, forums, newsletters,<br />
membership sites, etc. all have one thing in common - they are<br />
methods of delivering a product or service and don&#8217;t cost squat to<br />
produce. Forget about your pre-conceived notions, these things are<br />
commodities online and the cost is not a real consideration.</p>
<p>You can literally buy a template for $60, get hosting for $10, a<br />
domain for $8, use free open source software to add text to your<br />
site, use PayPal to accept payments and be in business the same<br />
day. You don&#8217;t have to be very technical to do this and it will<br />
look so professional that no one can tell that you&#8217;re not an<br />
established business. </p>
<p>There are a gazillion people online all searching for information<br />
and all with their own problems, needs and desires. They are just<br />
waiting for you to step in and be a supplier, provide a solution,<br />
or simply give them something that makes them happy and<br />
entertained.</p>
<p>Years from now people will look back on this opportunity like the<br />
California Gold Rush. The Internet is that type of life changing<br />
technology which everyone &#8216;in the know&#8217; will benefit from. It has<br />
already made millionaires out of many average everyday people.</p>
<p>The only thing you have to risk in this business is your time and<br />
I&#8217;ve never met anyone who has spent years trying to do this and has<br />
failed. Trying is the main word in that sentence - people who take<br />
action and actually try, will succeed.</p>
<p>But, you need some instruction. You need to learn what works from<br />
someone who has done it successfully. This is what I&#8217;m planning to<br />
offer in 2008.  Knowing what I know, you WILL make money. </p>
<p>However, I need your feedback to help me help you&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still trying to get a feel for the best way I can help people<br />
succeed. I&#8217;m considering a few different options which I&#8217;d like to<br />
get your feedback on. Based on your feedback, I may do all or none<br />
of these in 2008:</p>
<p>1. A Members-Only Online Forum where you can ask questions and<br />
learn from myself, forum members, and other experts I bring in.</p>
<p>2. A comprehensive instructional course with text, audio, and video. </p>
<p>3. A Limited Enrollment, Personal Coaching / Mentoring Program<br />
which will provide one-on-one instruction.</p>
<p>4. A premium physical newsletter mailed to your home each month (or<br />
bi-monthly) revealing insider secrets to making money online. </p>
<p>5. An online program which gives you your own product to sell, a<br />
site to sell it on, and a step by step guide for making it<br />
successful.</p>
<p>Please reply and let me know what you think of these options.  I look<br />
forward to hearing from you.</p>
<p>To Your Success,</p>
<p>Ron</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have some good stuff to share with you today including a real<br />
life example of a newbie subscriber who has just started to make<br />
money using my strategies.  I&#8217;m so excited for her :-).</p>
<p>This is a bit long today, so I would recommend printing it out<br />
because it contains some jewels you don&#8217;t want to miss.</p>
<p>You may be curious as to why I chose Publisher Academy as the name<br />
for my site.  It&#8217;s because I consider myself an Internet Publisher.<br />
I make money by publishing information.  I use many different<br />
product types to deliver this information (ebooks, cds, print<br />
books, cookbooks, newsletters, forums, blogs, etc.), but at the end<br />
of the day, my product is information.  </p>
<p>Many people who do what I do call themselves Internet Marketers.<br />
I&#8217;ve always felt that that term focuses on marketing and making<br />
money rather than on delivering good content.  It takes the focus<br />
away from the product and places it on the sale.  And you wonder<br />
why there is so much crappy information out there that&#8217;s being<br />
overhyped and underdelivered.</p>
<p>By focusing on the quality of the information I provide, I&#8217;m forced<br />
to keep my &#8220;ear to the street&#8221; and understand what people want.<br />
The more I know about what the people in my niche are experiencing,<br />
the better my products will be.  By doing this I also ensure that I<br />
never run out of things to talk about :-).</p>
<p>To be honest, I publish newsletters in several different niches and<br />
many times I don&#8217;t even come up with the content.  I often let my<br />
subscribers think of it for me.  For example, today&#8217;s newsletter is<br />
inspired by Julia.  She&#8217;s the subscriber who just made her first<br />
sale.  My conversation with her is more important then anything I<br />
can come up with myself.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a little background.  Julia started a blog to promote my<br />
cookbook as an affiliate.  She&#8217;s been writing articles and posting<br />
on forums to promote her blog - <a href="http://FiveStarRecipes.blogspot.com">www.FiveStarRecipes.blogspot.com</a></p>
<p>Affiliate programs are a great way to make money without having a<br />
product.  You&#8217;ll find that many sites that sell a product also have<br />
an affiliate program that allows you to earn a percentage of the<br />
sale just by referring others.  </p>
<p>If you are not familiar with affiliate programs or you want to<br />
discover how to earn more as an affiliate, here&#8217;s some excellent<br />
<a href="http://aff-masters.sitesell.com/ron-recommended.html">information on making big money as an affiliate</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the email conversation with Julia:</strong></p>
<p>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=</p>
<p><strong>EMAIL FROM JULIA:</strong></p>
<p>Hi Ron,</p>
<p>I just wanted to thank you for all your help so far. I made my<br />
first sale promoting your cookbook, &#8220;<a href="http://www.nichegoldmine.com">America&#8217;s Most Wanted Recipes</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m flying pretty high right now. I was getting a little frustrated<br />
because I was running out of things to write to promote your<br />
cookbook. I&#8217;ve written just a couple articles, and posted a few<br />
ads. Just those couple things have worked with one sale.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m off to write more. I&#8217;m still a little stuck on what to write<br />
about to promote a cookbook, so any suggestions would be greatly<br />
appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks for you help!<br />
Julia</p>
<p><strong>MY RESPONSE:</strong></p>
<p>Hi Julia,</p>
<p>That&#8217;s wonderful news!  I&#8217;m very excited for you because I remember<br />
how that feels.  You&#8217;ll find that this stuff really does work and<br />
will get easier for you with experience.</p>
<p>You can find plenty of things that affiliates have written to<br />
promote my cookbook by doing a search for both of these keywords:</p>
<p>2cook.hop.clickbank.net<br />
recipesecrets.net</p>
<p>The next step for you is to start building your own email list with<br />
the traffic you&#8217;re receiving.  That way you will have the<br />
opportunity to promote to visitors more than once.  You will also<br />
be able to promote other related products and maybe even launch<br />
your own information product one day.  Having a list gives you the<br />
power to create traffic to your site whenever you choose.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the service I use to manage my email list - <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?201521">click here</a></p>
<p>To be a successful affiliate, you should also get familiar with the<br />
art of &#8220;<a href="http://aff-masters.sitesell.com/ron-recommended.html">Pre-Selling</a>.&#8221;  That is warming the potential customer up to<br />
the offer before he or she actually sees it.  Affiliates who learn<br />
to do this well see a dramatic increase in their commissions and<br />
conversion rates.  </p>
<p>If you think about it, it only makes sense. A visitors landing on a<br />
sales page is naturally skeptical, but if the product has been<br />
recommended by someone they trust and if they have seen &#8220;social<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Your Recipes Could Be Worth Thousands - Here&#8217;s How:</strong></p>
<p>I receive many emails from subscribers who have created and<br />
collected a lot of recipes over the years.  Many of them often say<br />
they would like to write their own cookbook one day but don&#8217;t know<br />
where to start.  They also don&#8217;t realize how easy it is to do and<br />
how much they can potentially make from a good idea for a cookbook.</p>
<p>Yes, I know that&#8217;s easy for me to say as the author of 5<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.recipesecrets.net/cookbooks.html">self published cookbooks</a> which collectively have sold over 30,000<br />
copies.  But, the truth is, people love cookbooks!  Many<br />
people collect them and they make great gifts, especially for<br />
Christmas.  It makes sense because people have to eat, right?</p>
<p>And, as crazy as it sounds, I have developed a system that anyone<br />
can use for creating and publishing a cookbook in under 30 days and<br />
for under $300.  This system includes an exact blueprint you can<br />
use to sell at least 250 copies of your cookbook in the next 60<br />
days.  At an average of $15 per book, you can do the math.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m nuts right?  Well, no because I&#8217;ve done it from start to finish<br />
and sold thousands of books in less than 60 days. But I&#8217;m not here<br />
to sell you anything today.  I&#8217;m in the process of completing a<br />
&#8220;tell all&#8221; online course which will reveal my proven system and I<br />
want to see if this is something you might be interested in.  If<br />
so, give me some feedback by clicking &#8220;Comments.&#8221; </p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to know what you think and what you would like to see<br />
included in the course.</p>
<p>Also, if you&#8217;re interested in other opportunities such as this,<br />
consider getting my free newsletter where I provide a complimentary<br />
ebook and videos discussing what I do and how I got started:<br />
<a href="http://www.publisheracademy.com/">http://www.publisheracademy.com</a></p>
<p>I figure by publicly announcing the new course and the new site it<br />
will put some pressure on me and motivate me to get it done. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Folks,</p>
<p>This is my first post on this new blog.  I haven&#8217;t had time to add any bells and whistles to the blog yet, so excuse me if it looks plain and newbie like.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s on my mind today:</p>
<p>We are all creatures of habit.  We do things that we are comfortable doing over and over again.  This is because we subconsiously associate pleasure with our comfortable habits and we associate pain with the unknown.</p>
<p>They say that &#8220;if you keep doing what you&#8217;ve always done, you&#8217;ll keep getting what you&#8217;ve always had.&#8221;  To be successful often requires you to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to get too philosophical today.  However, I will say that I&#8217;m trying to lead by example with this blog and the free videos I produce.  That&#8217;s because videos and blogging are outside of my comfort zone and a challenge for me.  I realized this when I found myself making up any creative excuse to get this done later.  I have to watch tv, or surf the web, or even clean up the yard.  Anything to avoid doing something uncomfortable.</p>
<p>So for me, this blog is not really about money.  It&#8217;s more about disciplining myself to take action and get comfortable doing new things.  The reward is teaching you some stuff that can hopefully make you some money.</p>
<p>That being said, here&#8217;s a new video I finished last night at 2am (after procrastinating for days).  It will show you some simple ways to start an online newsletter, get free traffic, and build your list. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s soooo true that the money is in the list.  The video shows proof of how I use my newsletter to make up to $50,000 per month.  Not bad for a lazy slacker like me :-).</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the free video (it may take a minute to load).  Leave comments by clicking on the &#8220;comments&#8221; link at the top and tell me what you think:</p>
