Why You Should Care About Branding If You Are An Internet Marketer

branding starHey I’m back!

I don’t know if you missed me or not since the latest post I wrote (productivity hack: the lockdown method) was published a month ago but I’m finally back and getting my creativity juices ready to flow!

There’s a lot that can happen in 30 days so instead of telling you all my adventures so far, I’ll give you the most important things that happened…

  • I got interviewed by Aweber and earned $50 for my time with them (great people!)
  • The Marketing With Sergio blog is going under some heavy changes (I’ll explain below)
  • I’m changing something regarding Affiliate Marketing on this blog…
  • I’m finally writing a short book with a “twist” to give away
  • Including a video campaign as a “freebie” for branding
  • Why you should pass the marketing funnel of death as soon as possible
  • And I also have a few extra things to write about so keep on reading!

The AWeber Interview

I definitely root for the Aweber team and even though I know some people don’t feel the same about them, I have nothing against this company or their services, I just think they are great!  Continue Reading →

Dean Holland’s Quick Start Challenge

dean hollands quick start challengeDean Holland’s Quick Start Challenge is a course designed to get you up and running with Internet Marketing in just 4 weeks.

It was developed by Dean Holland (a successful Alex Jeffreys’ student) and the course was recently launched just a few days ago.

But before jumping on anything else, first let me tell you a few things so you can understand what I’m doing on this update…

Are You On The Right Path To Success?

I realized a few weeks ago, that if I didn’t have a product of my own I was never going to be able to make any REAL substantial money online so I started working on something to offer but to my bad luck, I’ve got completely blocked on several steps while creating the content.

I was getting confused with what came before what, started having second thoughts over the most dumb things you can imagine and I just ended up being completely lost.

Now, on my latest post (a review I did on Daniel Sumner’s Product Development Control which I think it’s an AMAZING training btw) I told you I was going to be off for the weekend with no internet connection whatsoever.

I had a quick weekend trip to La Riviera Nayarita (México) with my girlfriend and her family.

We ate a lot of tasty seafood, drank many beers and I was so happy about it as I was craving for some “me time” away from the Internet for a while ago.

The fact that I spent three days with zero internet access, gave me enough time to think about everything I’ve been doing online for the past months.  Continue Reading →

Achieving Blog Commenting Stardom

Commenting RockstarOk I want to thank everyone who commented on the last post about my Social Media Blackout experiment.

It was really insightful to learn how you guys deal with productivity yourselves and how much stuff are you able to get done in just a few hours as long as you have the proper mindset and take massive action.

As a side note for this new update, I know I haven’t published anything here in the past two weeks.

Even if I tried to let you know everything I’ve done, you would probably end up complaining about the length of the article so I’m not going to do that.

Instead, I’m going to write some brief articles for the most relevant things that happened and we’ll take it from there in the upcoming days so let’s get this party started with blog commenting.

Blog Commenting

How blog commenting works, is you normally visit a site on a particular topic, read the article and if you have anything to say (hopefully something constructive at least) you’d leave a comment with a link back to your blog (assuming you do have a blog).

This establishes a communication channel between writer and reader and if you write an interesting comment, you’d normally expect an answer.

If the blog owner is smart enough, the blog will have a plugin to let you know that your comment has a reply so you can go back and check it out (and more visits to your site).  Continue Reading →

Turn The Page

turn the page arrowHey, glad to see you around here again!

I’m really happy about all the positive feedback I received from the previous post on Digital Nomads and Minimalism

I enjoyed each and every one of the comments you guys wrote for me, thank you, you guys really rock!

About my DNA participation, I’d like to write a short bit from Sandy Halliday on the past comment thread…

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained”

I absolutely agree on this thought and I learned a lot from that past experience, I think I even put myself on at least Cody McKibben’s eyes so that is indeed a big gain alright!

But as we all know, the world keeps on turning and we must turn the page and get on with our journey (fail now, fail fast springs to mind)

There will always be more opportunities out there.

While Doing Business, Get Rejected… a LOT

So I was checking out these videos from Brendon Burchard and the Experts Academy today and in the end, there was this bonus video from Brian Tracy and he mentioned something about the 10% factor.

The 10% factor basically means that you can fail 9 out of 10 times and succeed at the tenth time.

Then he asked the audience, would you be willing to fail 9 times if you knew you were going to succeed at the 10th time?

The audience of course responded with a resonating YES!
