Hope are having a nice week and looking forward to the weekend.

First thing I want to say is that I cannot go forward with the Trader Day meet that I mentioned in an email a couple of weeks ago.

Unfortunately the interest was low and I don’t think it will be worth your time to attend.

If I can get more interest in a meet then I will sort it out but for the moment I am afraid it is “on hold”

So, apologies for that…

Pat Adams Retirement Seminar:

Got a letter from someone who had been reading an article on BizOppsUK.com and this person wanted to correct me on a few things I have said there.

Can I just say that I am always happy to correct anything that I place on the site so if you do see an error, please let me know!

Back to Mr Adams, I have posted the comment on the blog so if you have had similar experiences to the mystery writer, please let me know:

Some Controversy About Pat Adams Retirement Seminar Package

Big, big opportunity:

Back in April I went to the Entrepreneur Weekend seminar in Birmingham and met lots of property investors and internet business owners.

It was really, really good and well worth the time and money to attend.

You can read more about the seminar here:

Entrepreneur Weekend Seminar – Birmingham – April 2007

As you will see, it is a work in progress or a “whip” as they used to say in the pizza factory I worked in when I was a student.

I’m half way through the Sunday write-up so please check back in a week or so and I should be further along.

Anyway, at this particular event were two young internet entrepreneurs called Paul and Andy. Their presentation was about “domaining” i.e. buying and selling domain names for profit.

As is pretty typical of me, when I find something I am really interested in it kind of takes over my life and I do a whole load of research.

This is a booming market so make sure to read the blog post I wrote detailing what I have found about domaining as a business:

Could This Be The Next Big Money Maker?

Have a great weekend.

Thanks,

UPDATE:

Shortly after I sent out the above email, I got another email about the Pat Adams subject:

“This may sound uncanny, but since I mentioned to you about Pat Adams not sending me all the software etc and my website being taken down, he emailed me yesterday and said he will be sending me the software and will get my website put up online again. If this happens, then I have to take back what I said, but it has gone on over a long period of time that I have been waiting for the promised software. Having seen your article about this on your site, I will be interested to see if any of the others who attended his retirement day have had the same problems as me….keep up the good work.”

Interesting…

Back in 2006 I put up a page about Pat Adams and his retirement package.

Although this offer has long since expired, the page still exists:

Pat Adams Retires

This write-up has a lot of details about the contents of the package that Pat was offering – which in all fairness was very impressive.

It’s been quite a while since I looked at it but today I received some DVDs that I bought from eBay and written on the back of the thank you note was a letter:

“I looked at your website, and the facts about Pat Adams’ retirement package are not entirely true.

I bought it, went to his retirement seminar day and was promised loads. He did give us a shopping cart website to sell his stuff, and I added lots of my own info, manuals/CDs but I discovered 3 weeks ago he has taken it down without letting me know and he is not answering my many emails.

He promised us the next 2 seminar DVDs etc and I only managed to get one lot of stuff by continually pestering him for it. I still haven’t received the newsletter software he promised for the 1st seminar.

I feel badly let down, but I don’t have contact with other people who went to the retirement day to see if they have had anything from him or not”

Now in all fairness to Pat, emails can go astray and therefore remain unanswered. Years of continuous spamming by morons means that many people have over-zealous spam filters which will gobble up the most innocent of emails.

However, as this person was kind enough to take the time to write to me I would like to ask anyone else who bought this package to get in touch and let me know if they received everything that was promised.

I have just bought a package which promised several expensive bonuses which I have yet to receive and so I can understand how frustrating it is. The person who offered these bonuses is currently not responding to emails or help desk tickets and there are many people who are starting to worry.

So, if you did get Pat’s retirement package, please do get in touch and let me know how you found it. You can find my email address on the main site at:

I don’t know how Mr Filsaime does it but he managed to get me to pay out $500 for his latest product which he has called the “7 Figure Code”. I’m really looking forward to getting it in 10 to 15 days but with 16 DVDs, it could be sometime until I get a review up.

One thing’s for sure though, Mike’s gonna make a fortune on this one, again! Fair play to him, he does seem to be well liked and creates good products from what I have seen in the past.

Now I’m no big name internet marketer and I am not automatically on the “must JV with” list for many people so I can’t give you an affiliate link to buy through 🙂

However, if you are thinking about getting Mike’s course then have a good look around to see what bonuses are being offered.

What I’ve found is even though the product is quite low-priced (and therefore the commission will probably be in the $250 dollar range), lots of marketers are offering a load of excellent bonuses to get you to buy through them.

This tends to suggest that promoting this product isn’t about the money.

I guess that many marketers are promoting this to try and become the number 1 affiliate – because in the IM game I would imagine that if you’re able to boast that you were the no 1 JV partner for a Mike Filsaime launch it proves that you know your onions.

I happened to stumble upon the JVBlog that Mike has setup which wasn’t particularly hidden. Well, I didn’t exactly “stumble upon” it, I went routing…

He’s given some great prizes for the top 15 people who promote his product including some great boys’ toys and also cruises!

Anyway, getting back to the 7 Figure Code course, I am excited about getting all the DVDs because for a few days I considered paying the $5k to actually attend the seminar over in the US. I didn’t go in the end because I had just paid my tax bill and I wasn’t entirely sure that I really needed it at the time but I get to see the footage now.

When I was researching bonus offers I found that there were some serious packages being offered. See what I mean by checking out the blogs of Russell Brunson, Anik Singal, Jeremy Burns, Keith Wellman and Pat Lovell.

If you were interested, I bought through Keith Wellman’s link because his offer was very impressive.

In the future I will be writing a full review of the course but in the meantime if you want to learn more about Mike Filsaime, click on the link to the right which says “Table of Contents” or go to the main site:

There are some things in life that just seem to defy logic.

For example, have you ever had this happen to you?

You’re sitting alone at home, or at your office thinking about an old friend or business associate that you haven’t heard from in a long time.

Then, completely out of the blue the phone rings, and lo and behold, it’s that long lost friend on the phone.

Strange? Just a little.

Logical? Not at all.

How do you explain something like that?

It almost feels like you’re in Rod Sterling’s “Twilight Zone”.

His iconic TV series back in the early 60s focused on ordinary folks who suddenly find themselves in extraordinary, usually supernatural, situations.

It was a massive success at the time and has been repeated on telly for years.

The reason I mention this is because more and more members of MarketClub are feeling that they are in the “Twilight Zone of Good Financial Trades”.

You may ask; what on earth is that?

It all starts with MarketClub’s powerful new “”Trade the Triangle” scanning tools.

In this new video you learn how to use these tools, and how to spot a “Twilight Zone of Good Financial Trades”.

The video covers Hilton (no not Paris) but Blackstones’ $26 billion buyout offer for Hilton hotels that was announced after the stock market closed on July 3rd.

See how MarketClub’s “Trade the Triangle” scanning tools spotted the Hilton move before it was announced.

The video is not some academic classroom exercise, this is real and is the kind of stuff you can use right away in your own trading or spread betting:

When you’ve finished watching this free 3 and 1/2 minute financial trading video, you’re going to think that you’ve landed in the “Twilight Zone of Good Financial Trades”

And you might just be right!

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Back in April I travelled to Birmingham to attend the Entrepreneur Weekend seminar.

It was a great weekend and I came away with a load of extremely interesting ideas, a couple of which I have been working on for the past month or so (check out the link above for a write-up).

Possibly the most enlightening presentation was given by Paul Gunter and Andy Shorten.

These two UK entrepreneurs explained how they make great profits from the booming domain name market.

Basically they buy and sell domain names for huge mark-ups.

After I got back from the seminar, I went and bought their manual – The Domain Profit Guide.

They’ve written this how-to guide to show exactly how they manage to bring in a five figure monthly income by buying and selling domains.

So, I read it and discovered that this is a huge market, which is growing bigger by the day.

For example, did you know that all dot com domains with only 3 letters (known as “LLL.coms” meaning letter, letter, letter) were snapped up years ago?

You cannot simply pop over to GoDaddy and register one of these names. If you want an LLL.com, you need to find someone who is willing to sell theirs and then haggle with them over the cost.

And, as I write this, the rock-bottom minimum price for an LLL.com is around $4,500 or so. If you can find one for less than that, snap it up immediately!

Another type of domain name category is the LLLL.com – meaning 4 letters with a dot com extention. You can still register an LLLL.com domain but your choice is rather limited.

It is believed that out of the possible 456,976 combinations of LLLL.coms, there are around 6% left or just under 30,000. And the available amount is decreasing day by day.

So, when it comes to the point that there are no 4 letter dot com domains left to register, do you think they will increase in value?

After all, back in around 1999-2000 it was still possible to register a 3 letter dot com domain for a few dollars and these are now worth between $4,500 and a seven figure fee. Once all the 4 letter ones are gone, we could see a steady rise in their value.

I’m going to come back to domaining in the future because it is a very fascinating subject. People are making a great living simply from selling the rights to register a domain name!

Personally I have registered 95 domains since the 2nd May when I started “domaining” and I am not stopping yet 🙂

So, my advice is: don’t get left behind on this one. It’s still early days and you have time to get involved.

Like any investment, domain values can go up and down but they aren’t making any more dot coms – they can’t!
