Duvet Dollars Reviewed
Here is a great posting for a review for Duvet Dollars. This program was released this week and it has been interesting to see what the different internet marketers camps have to say about it - essentially who thinks it is crap and who is actually promoting it. I read one promotion that stated many of the Rich Jerk's ideas were taken from the author of Duvet Dollars - Victoria. Of course most of the marketers in the Rich Jerk side of the aisle are saying it is crap. Check out this review as this one user puts it to the test - will they make money while they sleep. I thought the name was odd until I realized that it was called Duvet Dollars because the tag line is that it teaches you how to make money while you sleep - but what if you don't use a duvet - I suppose "blanket bills" or "comforter cash" is just not as appealing or buy worthy.

BANABU Success - Building A New and Better Universe Review
BANABU - Building a New and Better Universe Personal Development Course by Mike Kemski
Let's start by saying BANABU works. I have read a number of classic personal development books and courses and I have found that BANABU is one of the most effective programs out there. The results I have seen from this course both in my own life and that of others who have used BANABU principles has been amazing. This course is not a bunch of the same old stuff - it is new and fresh because it is rooted in the real life experiences of the developer - Mike Kemski.
I purchased this product because I was looking for something I could dive into quickly and not have to wait
until the third or fourth chapter to start seeing some results. I was not looking for a course heavy in theory, rather I wanted something that would meet me where I was in my life and begin to work on removing some mental barriers or limiting beliefs that were keeping me from the next level. And that is exactly what BANABU did for me. I began recommending this program to friends - all at different places in their lives and they all saw some great results. And that is one of the most impressive things about the BANABU system, it is immediately applicable to where ever you are in your development, whether you are wanting a complete life transformation or you are happy in your life and just wanting the next level. Don't bother with any other mega course until you try this one - it is so simple, yet so effective.
The Banabu Home Study Course (all digital products) includes: a getting started video, the Banabu Book (139 page ebook) that outlines the 11 prinicples of Banabu, the Banabu workbook (containing exercises for applying each prinicple), and audios for each of the workbook exercises. Mike has you dive into the principles and supporting exercises immediately so you won't find yourself wondering how this or that applies to your life. The three components are so well integrated that you will gain a true understanding of how these principals are currently at work in your life and better yet, how you can use them to get what you want out of life. I can't really discuss the principles or exercises with too much detail as that would give away the course. But if you do the exercises, you will see some positive change in your life almost immediately.
I decided to focus on 1 principle a day over the course of 11 days - and I saw some change immediately and that just kept going. I found myself actually looking forward to
learning the next principle.
When you purchase the course, there is an option to subscribe to a monthly membership - called the Banabu Boost - an audio cd interview that is mailed out monthly, aimed at keeping you on track and building on the results you achieved with BANABU. At the time of this review, Mike gave you 2 free months free of charge. While I did not keep up the monthly membership, I did come back for me and signed up for his Ultimate Lifestyle in 6 Weeks Teleclass - when BANABU starts working for you, you won't be disappointed in the teleclass.
If nothing else, I highly recommend you download Mike's free report - The Human D-Cell it will give you a great sampling of what Mike and BANAB is all about. Plus you will learn something new and worthwhile for free.

Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on The Internet - Internet Marketing Center
I am going to take some risks here and start off by saying that the Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business On The Internet Home Study Course, is not going to be the best course for eveyone and it would not be the course I recommend to those just starting out or getting their feet wet. While it is full of tons of valuable info and is now a classic internet marketing how-to course in its own right, I think there are better courses out there today. I have accepted the fact that I just might be the only person who feels that way - or maybe is willing to stand up and make that bold statement. Don't get me wrong, The Internet Marketing Center - started by the late internet marketing legend Corey Rudl and now headed up by Derek Gehl - are always at the cutting edge of internet marketing and they put out some great educational materials, and some of the best software programs for internet marketing. But that does not automatically mean this course is the best thing around or that it does not need to be updated (hint multi-media). In the recent 2007 update I saw that they added an 85 minute DVD of Derek Gehl Live, so that is good news.
I purchased the 2005 edition with Corey Rudl and found the course to be very flat, with minimal multi-media enhancements - an audio CD and resource CD. As a result I had a hard time getting started and actually implementing much of the information covered. There were many technical gaps for me - and I found myself saying "well that's good info, but how do I do that or what does that look like?". Now the actual content of the course is great, it is very dense - 2 gigantic binders and several CDs - and it is incredibly thorough in explaining how to market a business on the internet. It's weakness for me was that it was not multimedia, I was overwhelmed by the information and I had a hard time figuring out how to implement the material I just learned. If you like learning from a manual, then you might have more luck that I did.
My honest opinion of this course, based on my personal experience of having used it on and off for 2 years now - is that it works incredibly well for those who already have a business up and running - either enhancing an existing internet business or taking an offline business online. I had neither of those - I was starting from scratch. I realize now that what I needed and was looking for was a course that had a different starting point. While it was not the course that got me started online, I do find myself referencing the Advanced Techniques binder quite regularly. Now the course has become valuable and useful to me. I just wish someone would have shared this exact information with me instead of selling the heck out of it. My experience with this course and not being able to find one review that said "you know this course is great IF you have a business and not the best for trying to decide on a business idea", it would have saved me time, money and frustration. I was a bit fooled by the success stories - but keep in mind, chances are, they did not start off where I started off - think of the BowFlex commercial. None of those great bodies were created by the BowFlex - they just use the BowFlex to maintain their physique - those bodies were created in a gym. I kind of think the IMC course is the same way - it did not get me started but it is helping me maintain and grow my internet marketing efforts. If you decide to purchase this course, you will be making a wise investment - but it just might not be the course that you need right now - depends on your learning style and where you are with you internet business exploration. It might be a course that you consider buying down the road for the advanced techniques it offers. I should point out that they do offer a one year money-back guarantee that is hard to beat.
The Internet Marketing Center produces some great materials, it is just a matter of getting the right one that fits with where you are now with your internet business. If nothing else, sign up for the Internet Marketing Center's newsletter - always full of great marketing tips.

Stephen Pierce - Free Internet Marketing Videos
Stephen Pierce has begun posting a great free video series on YouTube. It is entitled "A Clean Bill of Wealth". This is episode #1, about 7 minutes of Stephen on stage discussing the "path to success". He claims that we are genetically programmed to succeed - a great concept to think about as you go about your day. Stephen has become one of my favorite internet marketers - I appreciate his story and the strong emphasis he puts on creating the right mindset. It is interesting to see this "trend" among successful internet marketers addressing developing the correct mindset upon which all success is built. I say "trend" because it was not something that was being discussed as widely 3-4 years ago as it is today. Yet it is not a new concept, and it is the starting place of all successful people. It is just nice to see that there is a movement that really works at incorporating this key, yet often overlooked component.
Affiliate Project X - Does it Work or Just Hype?
I will be honest and say that I have stayed away from this particular author's ebooks. I have never been a fan of so much hype. I just got so sick and tired of everyone promoting the hell out of his products, and when you can not find even ONE person willing to say one shortcoming on his products - something is not right and I run the other way. But I also have to applaud him on the fantastic copy he uses that generates so much hype and frenzy. And that has become his calling card or trademark and no doubt he has made a lot of money off of it - so kudos to his success.
I surfed around the net trying to find someone who would actually tell me a bit more about the product, what skills it builds off of, what level of internet marketer it would work for, what were the shortcomings, etc. I did finally come across one website - Ewen Chia's Secret Affiliate Weapon - a site that I joined for the fact that it was so cheap - a mere $9 - but more on that later. Ewen believed that there was nothing new to this product and was not promoting it - I read his review he had some good points. But then again Ewen's products are in direct competition with Affiliate Project X. - so I expected some conflict of interet there, and what better place to get a review.
A few weeks later, after all the dust settled I decided that I would purchase the product and apply it to the googlecash method I was already using. I applied several of the techniques to one campaign and I saw results immediately. I tested it on a second campaign and saw no change, I tested it on and third campaign and again I saw improvement. What kind of improvement, my sales doubled for the first product. While Ewen's review claimed that this product contained nothing new, in fact he pointed to several different reports in which he had covered these different techniques. But I certainly learned some new techniques and I found them all in one report. And I stress techniques because that is exactly what they are. In the end I had to admit that I really liked this product and I really was not expecting to come away with a success story. But in the end it kicked my GoogleCash process up several notches. And it shed the light on some real techniques that I know the "experts" are using but just not readily sharing with the rest of the world and for good reason why.
So you are going to find Affiliate Project X beneficial if you are not already using advanced affiliate techniques. I would highly recommend it for anyone using the Google Profits or Google Cash methods and have a few campaigns up and running. These are the advanced techniques that will make that method profitable again. If you have already taken an advanced affiliate marketing training, then this ebook is not necessary. But I consider it the next level of the Google Cash method. If nothing else, sign up for the free email course and see if it is for you.

You Can Make A Living Online by David Vallieres
Just because I have not posted anything for a few weeks, does not mean that I have not been busy testing out courses, ebooks, you name it. Anyways, the latest product that I have been working with is David Vallieres’ “You Can Make A Living Online” Course. I started on it last week and have gotten through the first lesson, now working through the second one. While I can’t provide a complete review on this course, I can tell you that I am completely engaged and look forward to working through the each of the lessons. That is a good sign. Think about how many internet marketing courses/ebooks, etc you have purchased, started and then just lost interest in because they lost your attention? Probably all too many, because that has happened to me many times. I have to say that I really like this course - the content, the format and the approach. The course is organized into 7 Big lessons and a case study. I say big lessons because the content is multimedia - all working nicely together. For example in lesson one, there is the written material, an hour long audio interview, 2 short videos, and some additional reading materials (which I read). I have given myself a week’s timeframe to complete each lesson - so in theory I will be done in 7 weeks. I will keep as close to that timeline as possible.
David recently started another site - a review site of all things internet marketing - NetRatingsHub.com - it is free of all affiliate links and you can read several honest reviews on an array of internet marketing products. Needless to say it is refreshing to see that. So I encourage you to check it out - sign up - read the reviews and add your own experiences with different products. All I can say is it is about time. Check it out www.NetRatingsHub.com
