Well it seems I am because I just checked my aweber stats and I was above the .1 % complaint rate they suggest you should stay under.

I understand the message wasn’t selling anything, nor did it have any instant money making tip. It was only my thoughts on Internet Marketing and how the “It’s easy” idea isn’t totally true.

But anyways those warnings are there for a good reason so I invited my non interested subscribers to unsubscribe.

We’ll see what happens.

Probably I’ve been too quiet lately so an email from me can be strange for some people, but that’s going to change. I’m flying solo this year so I plan on being in contact with my list more often.

A nice idea I think I might swipe from Stephanie Mulac is how they add the “subscription date” to the intro of all her emails

Something really easy to do with Aweber and also it reminds ppl when they subscribed.

There are a lot of email best practices we all should follow and really I don’t know them all. The guy to ask about that is Big Jason Henderson, he’s the email expert out there so if you want more information about email deliverability and etiquete you should check out his blog BigMarketingOnline.com

Please leave your comments good or bad and I’ll be glad to get back to you with any question you have that I can answer. Remember: if I don’t know the answer… I’ll make something up specially for you.

Cheers!

I’ve been working a lot on other peoples projects lately rather than on my own and let me tell you, even though it’s been hard work I’ve loved every minute of it.

See, the idea that Internet Marketing is a piece of cake is a misconception. I was speaking with a friend the other day and we were discussing how cool Internet Marketing was because:

You can choose where you’ll work: I for example live and work in El Salvador, Harris is moving to Costa Rica for a Month, and I have other IM friends all over the world. For some this means you can work at home or at a Starbucks, or wherever there is an internet connection

You can choose what you’ll wear each day. Hey a lot of people like to dress up, personally I wear shorts, crocks and a Hawaiian shirt most of the time. I’ve only worn a tie twice since I quit my job J

You can choose the 20 hours of the day you’ll work!!! – And we all started to laugh –  Well maybe not 20 a day, but I must say I have done that pretty often during product launches.

Actually one of them mentioned something about “the 4 hour work week” and how it should be called “the 4 hour sleep week” when you are running a product launch.

My point is, it’s not easy, you have to work hard to achieve your goals, the good part is that you aren’t working your ass off for someone else. It’s for YOU and YOUR Family!!! Nothing can beat that!

Please don’t get me wrong. YES there are many ways to make money online and they are much easier than a J.O.B. but if you really want to become successful you have to work hard and stay focused till you make it. As Mike Dillard says: “The most successful people take ‘OBSESSIVE ACTION’ to achieve the goals that they have set”.

So make up your mind today what you want to achieve and TAKE ACTION!

Wow this has really been a busy week.

Sorry to those I promised the free Rapid Action Profit(RAP) Installation Videos , I haven’t forgotten to make them, I just haven’t had the time but I will get them to you as soon as I get a couple of free hours. I’m also going to be releasing some more free tutorials more often from now on (well maybe a week from now or so) but I’m sure you’re going to love them and the concept is killer; very much in line to all the recent (CENSORED) activity.

I wanted to make a quick video of Gmail’s new tools, but I haven’t been able to yet. BUT you can dig in yourself by visiting your account settings in gmail and then go to “LABS” You’ll find some cool stuff and some cool productive stuff.

So what are my plans for August? well for sure I’m not taking the local vacations this next week, but I’m helping some great people with their launches on Aug 4, a pre-launch on the 11th another launch on the 14 and finally on the 19th. PLUS I have to finish my wife’s website which will definitely kick ass among her piers here in El Salvador. Oh and I almost forgot I have to do my regular stuff too.
Geeez if I didn’t love what I do so much this would almost sound like a job.

Check out the “labs” in gmail, I’m sure you’ll find something you love, Oh and if you’re interested in setting up your own blog, hassle free, check out Alex Sysoef Expert Blog package, it is as hands free as it can get. Highly recommended.
Cheers and many blessings,

Richard
P.S. Leave me a comment below if you think I should email you for new posts as a reminder or just shut up and let interested people find it? Twitter should do right?
