The Prometheus Strategy Manifesto
I just finished going through the Prometheus Strategy Manifesto, a short 36-page report.
First off, I want to say that one thing I get tired of seeing is no name, no credibility folks trying to give expert advice. Jim McCarthy, author of the Prometheus Strategy Manifesto, however, is entirely qualified to teach this.
He is a Certified Professional Consultant with over 25 years of working with Fortune 50 companies on implementing long term business strategies. He also holds 2 Masters degrees and 8 Professional certifications.
So he’s not a beginner, by any means.
That’s great news as it means the content is proven (not just theory). But one reason why the above is a bit of a “bad” thing is Jim steps into all this from a lot of corporate work… which means he’s used to corporate-speak. So some parts of the manifesto read like a textbook and, at times, you have to force yourself through the dry-read because you KNOW that the lessons in it are worth it.
The best way to introduce and review this report for you is to take a snippet that the author, Jim McCarthy, used in his Forward.
“If you are looking at your business as simple a set of rotating opportunities, then you are setting yourself up for failure. You will fall prey time and again to great sales copy, wonderful looking products, seductive sales pitches, and terrific looking websites.”
Too many people that I know are definitely treating their business as “a set of rotating opportunities”. THEY should really bite into this manifesto.
One of the primary lessons in this report is to understand the difference between a continually growing and increasingly more profitable LONG TERM BUSINESS versus just yet another way to “make money” online.
The report talks about the difference in what most people focus on (tactics) versus what only the top performer “gurus” have spent considerable time on (strategy).
Tactics can be easily copied. These are your “to do” action steps … much of which can be spied on by your competition.
What your competitors can never see and really understand is your true long term vision: What you are working towards.
And maybe that’s why this is such an important read!
Unlike the numerous reports that get sent my way, this one doesn’t talk of a latest new idea that will generate X traffic or Y dollars. Those types of reports focus on yet another new tactic.
It’s very rare to find THIS kind of education in the “internet marketing” marketspace. And if you’re smart (which I KNOW you are), then you’ll immediately realize that being among the few who studies this, you’ll have a definite advantage in mindset over your competition.
I don’t want to give it all away and, it’s a short 36-page read so there’s no point in me writing a long winded review. So I’ll put it plainly: if you care about a stable, long term income then READ IT. It doesn’t cost you a dime and won’t take up much of your time.
When you read the manifesto, spend extra time with the “Down Board Thinking” that Jim references on page 22. I can promise you that the masses simply react to a current idea/situation and never spend time with “Down Board Thinking”, though they really should.
Overall, this Strategy Manifesto was a great find. I encourage you to not just download it (as that won’t get you anywhere) but to set aside the 20-60 minutes and actually review it.

Membership Site 123 by Charlie Essmeier
In the past two years, the number of membership Websites on the Internet has exploded. The number of paid sites continues to grow by leaps and bounds as savvy Internet marketers tap into a hot new marketing opportunity.
Why are membership Websites so popular?
With most information products, the creator gets paid once when they sell a product. With a membership Website, your customers pay you each and every month to subscribe to your site. In exchange for their monthly payment, you provide them with quality content that they cannot find anywhere else – audio, video, software, text, or whatever suits you.
In the past two years, the number of membership Websites has exploded as more and more marketers are drawn to the idea of having a recurring income instead of making money from a one-time sale.
Although there is a great deal of money to be made through a membership site, there are also a few drawbacks to such a system:
· You have to set up the site itself, which requires software scripts which are complicated and expensive.
· You have to continually create compelling content in order to keep your subscribers interested.
If you don’t have a lot of cash or aren’t a technically oriented computer guru, you might have trouble setting up a membership site. They require constant attention and you will have to work around the clock to come up with a sufficient amount of content to keep your subscribers happy. Once they have seen everything you have to offer, they’ll cancel their subscription and your revenue stream will come to a halt.
Charlie Essmeier, author of Membership Site 1-2-3, has come up with a better idea. He’s devised a system where you can create a membership program that has all of the advantages of a regular membership site with none of the drawbacks.
· It’s fully automated
· It requires a minimal investment. You can get started for as little as $50
· You don’t have to be a computer guru as there is no complicated software involved.
· You only need to create a fixed amount of content. You won’t have to keep creating content around the clock to keep your subscribers happy.
· Once you have created all of the content you need, your system will run automatically for months or years to come.
The Membership Site 1-2-3 system is inexpensive; anyone can get started for little more than the cost of a domain name.
The technical requirements are so minimal that virtually anyone can set up the system. There are no complicated scripts. There are no complicated billing systems. There are no complicated password-protection schemes that you’ll need to understand.
If you can use a word processor, you have 99% of the skills that you will need to set up and maintain the Membership 1-2-3 system.
The possibilities for earning recurring income with a Membership Site 1-2-3 system are nearly endless. If you can persuade 200 people to sign up for your site at $19.97 per month, you’ll have recurring income of nearly $4000 per month. Of course, there’s nothing to prevent you from charging more; some membership sites charge their subscribers as much as $795 per month!
In the past, only the big marketing “gurus” could set up and maintain the complicated subscription systems that make traditional membership sites work. Now anyone can compete with the gurus, as Membership Site 1-2-3 has truly leveled the playing field when it comes to the ability to generate huge amounts of recurring income.
The affordably priced Membership Site 1-2-3 is easy to read and simple to follow and execute. Not only that, but you can set up the system in just a few days.
If you are interested in setting up a system that generates recurring income every single month, Membership Site 1-2-3 is just the ticket.

The Second Tier Affiliate Program
Hi Bloggers, if you are a regular reader of Part Time Blogger you will have noticed I have heavily promoted Affiliate products on this blog recently.
If you are not using Affiliate Marketing as your number 1 Make Money Online source you are losing out big time. When I first started out in Internet Marketing I tried what all newbies do. I heavily relied on Adsense as my main form of income, whilst adsense is a brilliant way to make money online it takes time to achieve, the type of earnings you reach through affiliate marketing. I am doing Ok through Adsense and make very good Returns on Investment. I will show you exactly how I do this step-by-step on June 16th when I release the Raise Your Investment Blueprint.
Affiliate Marketing is now my number 1 source of income, my number 1 tip for you is this, promote as many products as you can. The more affiliate links you have out there the more chance you have of making a sale.
I am doing very well marketing Clickbank products, but I have today found an affiliate program called The Second Tier.
Lets take you step-by-step what I like about this program.
Number 1 it is so easy to join , just enter a few details and your good to go. No more waiting weeks and then receiving an email saying sorry your application as been rejected.
Do these guys know who I am, I’m the future of Internet Marketing only kidding.
When you sign up and log in for the first time, you are sent to your Affiliate page. This tells you your Affiliate level and because I’ve only just joined the program, I’m situated right at the bottom with the title of New Affiliate. Because I’ve earned less than $500 in commisions.
Here are the levels my aim is to become a Super Affiliate before the years out!
Super Affiliate Earned at least $10,000 in commisions
Advance Affiliate Earned at least $5,000 in commisions
Intermediate Affiliate Earned at least $2,000 in commisions
Novice Affiliate Earned at least $500 in commisions
New Affiliate Earned less than $500 in commisions
One of the first things you need to do is to watch the quick start video its just under 7 minutes long and will tell you about the program.
The most important part of The second tier and the part were you make money online. Are the Affiliate products, when I market Affiliate products I look and read the products sales page and ask myself would I buy this product. Obviously I switch my mind back to the days when I knew nothing about Internet Marketing. I do this because we as Internet Marketers know now this game works and do not fall for sales talk easily.
My mind is switched back to newbie mode and if I answer yes I will market that product. There are currently 11 products to market and having taken a quick look I will be marketing all of them in the very near future.
I have set myself a goal of becoming a Super Affiliate with this program and when I set goals I try my best to make them. Thats the type of person I am and the type you need to be to become a successful Internet Marketer.
There are three product category
DotCom Secrets Products, memberships products, and Clickbank products
Each product has plenty of marketing material to help you sell the product, this means less work for you. Use the banners and emails provided and you can get started straight away.
The number 1 rule for affiliate marketing is to take action today, forget youtube, GTA 4 and the other distractions and get marketing now.
Okay I’ve got to go now and start marketing these hot products, I will be extremely disapointed if I haven’t made my first Second Tier affiliate sale before the days out.
Good Luck with your Internet Ventures and your welcome back anytime
