Yesterday I bought a $100 piece of paper. I bought it from James Brausch. On this piece of paper are the download page URL’s of most of James’ Internet business products, including a couple that have been discontinued and can no longer be purchased except through special offers like this: The Boca Conversations software bundle.

There’s only a couple of hours left to pick up this discounted package (over $1000 worth of products for $100). And I would have told you about it sooner, except that I don’t like to recommend stuff to you until I’ve had a chance to look it over myself.

I somehow got the idea that after making my payment through PayPal, I would be directed to a download page with links to the various products. And when I didn’t, I thought it prudent to find out what’s going on before sending you over to James’ site.

Well, I got my answer just minutes ago. Even though these are all downloadable information products and software, James is sending a physical piece of paper to each customer of the Boca Conversations package by snail mail.

One has got to question the logic behind this move. Assigning a number of his staff over the next couple of days to stuff and mail envelopes??? An email or redirect to a download page would have been much more efficient. But I’ve learned over the last year or so that James never does anything without a reason.

I’m looking forward to him sharing that reason with us in his blog at some point in the future. In the meantime, I’ll be sitting by my mail box, eagerly awaiting my $100 piece of paper.

To Your Profits And Success!

I don’t get out much, so I’m probably the last one to know this. But, Yahoo! has taken over the reins at MyBlogLog. I should have suspected as much when my customer support request last week was answered by a woman with a yahoo-inc.com email address.

Anyway, I’m starting to see gray smilie faces showing up in my MyBlogLog widget. This is the default user photo for your new Yahoo! MyBlogLog account. Oh, didn’t they tell you? You have to get a Yahoo! account if you want to keep using MyBlogLog. Then you have to link your existing MyBlogLog account to your new (or existing) Yahoo! account.

What’s that? You don’t want a Yahoo! account? Umm…tough! You can’t log into MyBlogLog with your old MBL email address and password.

Today’s previous post has been deleted. It was completely off topic for this blog and I apologize for my radical departure from the norm.

I will not allow this blog to be used as a forum to promote anyone’s political view, including my own, over anyone else’s. I will limit discussion to Internet business and marketing technology from now. (Oh, I may sprinkle some motivation and self improvement posts in there too, but that’s it!)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog content.

There’s a new exchange in town. This one is from John Reese. You’ve probably heard of John Reese. He’s one of the original “Big Launch Day” marketers, posting astronomical earnings for his “Traffic Secrets” launch a couple of years ago.

His latest offering is called BlogRush. The idea is simple. Post a widget on your blog that displays 5 headlines from other blogs. (The headlines are pulled from the RSS feeds of other BlogRush members’ blogs.) Then every page view on your blog earns you credits. The credits are used to get your blog headlines displayed in the same widget on other people’s blogs.

Sounds OK so far. What’s the catch?

“Give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day. Loan a man the money to buy a fishing boat and you’ll help him start his own fishing business.” Not quite the original quote, but it does describe the idea behind micro finance institutions (MFIs).

MFIs provide loans and other financial products to over 90 million poor people worldwide, helping these “micro-entrepreneurs” to start or expand their own small businesses, create a sustainable source of income, and begin to lift their families out of poverty.

No doubt, this is one heck of a noble venture. But, even though the MFI industry has helped millions to improve their fortunes and start or grow their own businesses, they’ve only managed to meet 20% of the demand! Think about that. How many millions more are left out. Loans as little as $50 could help these people break out of poverty. But the money is just not there.

As I promised yesterday, I’ve got one more Free Tool Friday for you. This is a special FTF because today’s featured tool is one of my own products.

The product is called PayGuardFree. And, as the name suggests, anyone can download and use it for free!

You might be familiar with my ecommerce script, PayGuardPro. If so, you already know it’s a really powerful tool for selling digital products online, but it’s not free. In fact, I’ve raised the price twice since I launched it just a few weeks ago. And, I’m considering doubling the current price when I get version 2.0 out the door in October! (Yes, it’s going to be that good!)

That’s the problem with absolutes… words like “always” and “never.” They can sometimes come back to bite you in the butt. I find myself in that situation now…
