			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://hirokaneko.com/go/niche-intelligence-report/"><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" title="Guru Blueprint Eben Pagan" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/streaming_gma/guru_blueprint/covers/niche_report.png" alt="" width="351" height="216" /></a>If you&#8217;d like the best free education you can possibly get on how to target highly-profitable &#8220;Information Product,&#8221; Advice and Coaching niches online, then <strong><a href="http://hirokaneko.com/go/niche-intelligence-report/">go watch this video</a></strong> (just opt in to watch it &#8211; nothing to buy).</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll learn a powerful system for identifying and targeting WINNING &#8220;information&#8221; niches &#8211; that have made big money &#8211; and will continue to make big money&#8230; into the future.</p>
<p>BTW&#8230;</p>
<p>This is in line with what Mike Klingler (creator of <a href="http://hirokaneko.com/go/renegade-professional/" target="_blank"><strong>Renegade Professional</strong></a>) is teaching in Marketing Funnel Mastery which I have been writing about this past week. One of the big concepts he taught in his first class was to build your You, Inc. by branding yourself in your marketing&#8230; and the best way to do it is to create your OWN information product.</p>
<p>Anyway, back to this post&#8217;s main topic&#8230;</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also get a powerful set of exercises to download and use to target your niche for free.</p>
<p>FINALLY (and maybe the most valuable part), there&#8217;s a 25-page special report called:</p>
<p>&#8220;The Niche Intelligence Report&#8221; &#8211; which details 29 proven money-making online Information niches that are PROVEN.</p>
<p>This report not only teaches you the &#8220;Secret Psychology&#8221; of how to target a niche that will work online &#8211; it also GIVES YOU the niches that are working best right now.</p>
<p>Why is this stuff being given away for free?</p>
<p>Because the guy who is giving it away is in the middle of a big product launch, and he wants to give away as much stuff as he can to people who are interested in starting (or growing) an Information Product business online.</p>
<p>This package of stuff is better than most of the PAID training on how to target niches (really).<br />

<p>Enjoy,</p>

<p>p.s. Eben Pagan is someone I consider to be one of my mentors (and one of my board of directors&#8230; he just doesn&#8217;t know it <img src='http://hirokaneko.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> ). I buy a lot of his stuff myself and I love them all (maybe except for his &#8220;Self Made Wealth&#8221; course&#8230; just didn&#8217;t feel it showed me the &#8220;WOW&#8221; factor as Eben usually does in all his stuff, probably because I&#8217;ve educated myself heavily on this topic already).</p>
<p>here&#8217;s a picture of me and Eben at the Guru Mastermind Event in Los Angeles, CA <img src='http://hirokaneko.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Just a reminder that Class 1 of Mike Klingler&#8217;s &#8220;<strong>Marketing Funnel Mastery</strong>&#8221;  is coming down today. Today is your last day to watch the epic free  presentation for free. After today it will cost $997 to access it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what Mike had to say (and I wholeheartedly agree)&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t learn how to &#8220;Write Down&#8221; a clear plan to generate  cash-flow you can&#8217;t compete on PPC ads, and you can&#8217;t earn enough to  justify all that hard work on your blog or website.</em></p>
<p><em>Watch this early today. </em> <em> </em></p>
<p><em>Make yourself do it. </em> <em> </em></p>
<p><em>You&#8217;re business IQ will grow faster in a day than it probably has in  the last 2 years. </em> <em> </em></p>
<p><em>I stake my reputation on that statement.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>I was on the live presentation. I did not have the chance to watch the recording yet myself, but from what was shared live on wednesday, I seriously urge you to do whatever it takes to watch it today. This recorded presentation alone could show you the missing link in your businesses, online or offline.</p>

<p>If you have been online for any time at all, then you know that <strong>one of the most important skills (if not THE most important)</strong> is the ability to write “copy”. But what is “copy”?</p>
<p>“Copy” simply means the words you use online. These words can appear in many places, such as …</p>
<ul>
<li> <em>Your website</em></li>
<li><em>Your blog</em></li>
<li><em>Twitter posts</em></li>
<li><em>Solo ads</em></li>
<li><em>Your Facebook page</em></li>
<li><em>Classified ads</em></li>
<li><em>Articles you write</em></li>
</ul>
<p>In all these places and more what you say matters. And <strong>HOW you say what you say matters a lot.</strong></p>
<p>If I have learned anything in my years online it is this – <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">what you say and how you say it</span> is THE difference between making sales and not making sales!</strong></p>
<p>Look at these two phrases. Which is more powerful?</p>
<ol>
<li><em> “I know you are afraid but don’t be. Being afraid only makes our problems worse”</em></li>
<li><em>“We have nothing to fear but fear itself”</em></li>
</ol>
<p>Did you vote for example #2? Of course you did. The difference between them is copywriting – perhaps the most important skill one can possess.</p>
<p><strong>And now you can learn how to improve WHAT you say, and HOW you say it … FREE!</strong></p>
<p>The report you will download below – <strong>my gift to you</strong> – will help you write better copy beginning today. Will it turn you into a world class marketer like Dan Kennedy or John Carlton? Probably not. But it will give you a great start on knowing what to say to make people buy. And that matters … a lot!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The report is in PDF format.</p>

<p>I’m sure by now we all know that social media matters … a lot! The greatest thing to me about social media (Twitter, Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon) is that you can connect with an audience that you would otherwise NEVER reach. It’s true. You know people I will never know … UNLESS (and this is very important) you choose to share what you know about me with them.</p>
<p>Same for you. I know people you will only meet if I share what I know about you with them. And they know people neither of us will ever know … <strong>UNLESS they share!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sharing is what social media is all about</strong>, and StumbleUpon makes it easy to share with others. Best of all, you get to share something we all have – opinions!</p>
<p>StumbleUpon makes it super easy to find information (all social sites do that) but they do more. <strong>They let you rate the sites you visit!</strong></p>
<p>If you don’t know about StumbleUpon, you should&#8230; and this report (my gift to you) will help you do that quickly and easily.</p>
<p>BEST OF ALL – <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>you can give this report away to as many people as you like!</strong></span> Twitter about it. Send an email to your list. Add a signature line to your email. Whatever you like!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re considering OFFLINE marketing methods, you&#8217;ve got&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Direct Mails<br />
Postcards<br />
Conference Calls<br />
Teleseminars<br />
Radio<br />
Newspaper and Magazine ads<br />
Television<br />
Press Releases<br />
etc&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Or, if you&#8217;re considering ONLINE marketing methods, you&#8217;ve got&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Article marketing<br />
Video marketing<br />
Online Press Releases<br />
Blogging<br />
Forum marketing<br />
Ezine advertising<br />
Social Networking<br />
Website marketing<br />
Pay-Per-Click marketing<br />
etc.</em></p>
<p>As you can see, there are literally dozens and dozens of effective marketing strategies that can be used and implemented to help you get your message out and build your business.</p>
<p>But, with so many marketing strategies to choose from, you&#8217;re probably asking yourself,</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;How the heck do I decide which ones to focus on?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great question, and one that I&#8217;ve also encountered when I got started. Do phrases like &#8216;<strong>information overload</strong>&#8216; and &#8216;<strong>lack of focus</strong>&#8216; sound familiar to you?</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s exactly how I felt when I got started. I was fortunate enough to be able to locate a great training platform that showed me all these options to choose from and I literally dabbled in every single one of them to see how things worked and which ones would give me results.</p>
<p>In a way, it was good to understand the different options out there because I can see the potentials in each and every one of them. But spreading myself too thin and trying to do everything mediocre did not bring in the results I wanted.</p>
<p>So, from personal experience, my suggestion for you is to choose one to three marketing methods and get really good at them, and <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">then and only then</span></em></strong> look into other options to diversify your marketing.</p>
<p>Here is a list of things I suggest you consider in choosing the marketing strategies you want to focus on:</p>
<p><strong>1) Identify your personal marketing budget.</strong></p>
<p>Basically, figuring out and deciding on how much money you can and are willing to spend on your marketing every month. If you decide that your budget is less than $100 per month, I highly suggest you focus on ONLINE marketing methods because OFFLINE methods generally cost more across the board. I would say a healthy OFFLINE marketing budget to be no less than $300 per moth.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>2) Identify how much TIME you have each week to </strong><strong>commit to your marketing efforts.</strong></p>
<p>This is another &#8216;budget&#8217; that you need to figure out and decide. If you have a full-time job and are building your business on a part-time basis, you certainly have less time to build your business compared to someone who&#8217;s doing it full-time. You&#8217;d also want to make sure you consider setting your &#8216;personal&#8217; or &#8216;fun&#8217; time that you may want to spend with your family, friends, on hobbies, rest/relaxing, etc.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a big proponent of work/life balance (I would even go so far as to say I create my business around my life instead of settling for a life around my business). Getting away from business and renewing yourself will also actually make you more productive and creative.</p>
<p><strong>3) Identify your strengths, abilities and passions.</strong></p>
<p>Ask yourself these simple questions:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;What am I good at?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What do people around me tell me I&#8217;m good at?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What do I enjoy doing?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;How do I best communicate my message with others?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;What would you consider doing even if it didn&#8217;t pay you anything?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>4) Identify which marketing method(s) you feel will BEST attract and get in front of the niche target market?</strong></p>
<p>You should think about who your prospects are, the niche area you are in, which method(s) may be most likely to target/reach them effectively, etc.</p>
<p><strong>5) Consider the amount of leverage you want to work with.</strong></p>
<p>Different methods have varying degrees of leverage built in e.g. content creation (video, articles, etc.) can be done once and can potentially work for you 24/7, 365 for many years to come versus social networking which can be time consuming and requires consistent effort on your part.</p>
<p><strong>6) Consider the marketing trends and the amount of competing marketers using that method.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s always good to keep the trends in mind because you want to be identifying where the best results are achieved (and hence the trend).</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is saturation. Is everybody trying to market using the same strategies? Can you realistically stand a chance to stand out from the crowd using the same marketing strategies?</p>
<p>So there you have it. My two cents on what to consider when deciding on which marketing strategies to focus on.</p>
<p>Remember to consider the above factors when deciding on which marketing strategies to focus on and you&#8217;ll be well on your way to mastering each marketing strategy, one at a time, and building a profitable business.</p>
