So here I am in Vegas, it’s 3:36 am, and I just lost my chip stack on my AK vs homeboys 99. I was put in a tough spot and had so many chips in the pot, I had to call. I knew it was a coin flip, and I was behind, but if I won that hand, I would have been in prime position to step to the final table as the overwhelming chip leader. O well, can’t win em all. I did clean up at the cash game before the tournament, and that paid my entry. Plus I picked up a few bucks on the Blackjack table too!

Alison had never seen the downtown area of Vegas, so we decided to dip into the Golden Nugget for the evening before we head on over to Zion National Park in the morning.
I want you all to sit back and observe my genius planning here. It’s only going to be about 102 degress tomorrow in Zion National Park. Perfect time to plan a picnic huh? Shit, I hope we got some sunscreen. I think a burka may be needed too!

After Zion, who knows where we’ll end up. As long as I’m in Denver Thursday evening, all is good. I’ll be blogging when I can, and updating ya’ll on the trip. It’s gonna be lot’s of fun, and I imagine quite lucrative at Jeff’s gig. I’m quite positive there will be some great energy in the bunch, and some very witty people.

Those that grasp the power of the Product Launch Formula play the game of internet marketing on an entirely different level. The excitement is addicting, and it’s pretty damn fun to run people through the PLF ringer. It’s great to have customers begging to buy your stuff before you’ve even announced a price! That’s my favorite, and a sure sign that your launch is going to be a success.

However, let get something out right now…

…If you are not actively building a mailing list, then you are crippling your chances at making a whole shitload of money. Seriously, you gotta build a list. I don’t care what excuses you have. If you are not building a list, you are missing out on cash.

You can’t have a massively successful product launch without a list, unless you are relying totally on JV traffic. And unfortunately, not everyone has access to all the big guns with the huge lists. Start building your list today if you have not already.

Today I sent out a video to my list and let them peek into my thoughts as I perused a new website I just bought. The site has a ton of potential, but it won’t be maximized until I include a opt-in form and start taking names. You can peep the site at… http://www.photoshopguides.com

I’ve done a bit of remodel to it already, and added a model with a pretty clever call to action. I don’t have any tracking on it just yet so I’m still a bit unsure of how it’s doing. Before I made the video, I had still not made a sale from the affiliate product I was promoting. Lot’s of people are trying to tell me this site is a bust. Others think I got it for a steal at $1400.

I decided to let people watch me remodel this thing, and potentially flip it for cash. There is no charge, I just felt like hooking people up with a bit of insight. So if you want to watch along as I pimp out this Photoshop Tutorials site, and see if I can turn a profit, watch the video below…

Overall, the main thing I need to get on this page is a Opt in form so I can start asking these people what they really want. Without that, I’m kinda throwing darts in the dark. The power of a list is huge, as they will tell you exactly what they want. There really is not much reason for guess work in this profession when the customers or potential buyers will gladly tell you just about everything you need.

But without that list, you can’t be certain what they really want to buy. If next few days I’ll share some tips about how to build a list very quickly. I’m quite sure you are gonna dig this.

Ok, gotta roll. It’s super late. Will blog again at the next wifi spot.

Adios!

PS: 20 minutes after I made that video yesterday, the first affiliate sale popped in.  Booyaa!  Seeing the first sale never gets old, even if it was only $44.
