I’ve had quite a few emails asking for any feedback on the recently advertised “US to UK Deals” seminars from Andrew Reynolds and Tim Lowe.

One came through this week:

“I have had two or three mailing from Tim Lowe & Andrew Reynolds about their USA – UK Deals recently where you purchase licences for the DVDs you can sell on supposedly at a big profit. You know the one, Andrew is over from New York with a great deal for us and Tim Lowe will look after you at the UK end.

They want about 5k for it …you have probably seen this offer. Have you had any feedback on this opportunity? All seems a bit to good to be true but I am aware they are both respected in this field. Do you know anybody who has ever joined up with them and made the sort of money they often talk about?”

I must admit that I have never attended any of these types of seminar but I have seen good feedback from them.

A hour or so after I sent out the latest free business opportunity email newsletter I got the following feedback from one of the subscribers.

The comment was:

“My partner and I both attended Tim Lowe’s Seminar in November re. Andrew Reynold’s US-UK deals and can say that they do deliver what they say. We’ve received the resale rights on a number of DVDs and books and are at the moment in the throes of getting our first product launch up and running. I must admit, though, that it’s not for the faint-hearted. There’s a lot of preparation and research to be done – it’s definitely not a “get-rich-quick” scheme. Nevertheless, I am hopeful of being able to bring in a decent income from it very soon. Maybe it won’t be too long before I can write back with some positives – time will tell!”

Thanks for the response!

If you are a regular reader of this blog and also my other bizoppsuk blog, you will know that I am actively spread betting a number of UK shares.

Well, the last time I posted my results to the blog, I was running a profit of £176.91. This was on the 16th February.

The following week, it had fallen slightly to £143.29.

However, like many people who are trading, my profits have now disappeared after 5 days of market losses.

Given my generous stop-losses I haven’t had many positions stop out – only 2 out of 13 but I am now sat on losses of £84.61.

It’s not a disaster but I’m surprised that the markets continue to fall. Something has obviously changed and it will be interesting to see what happens now.

Anyone want to make a prediction as to where the market is going over the next 5 days?

All of my positions are due to expire on the 20th March so they only have 11 days to recover and get me back into profit.

I’m not holding my breath though, I can see a bunch of losing trades come 2 weeks tomorrow.

Perhaps it’s time to have a clear-out and close the trades which are losing.

I will keep you posted…

I received an email this week from Peter who asked:

“There is a company who have been advertising weekly for some time in the Exchange and Mart, offering to install on your PC software called a Pokerbot.

They claim, that once installed, it will enable the user to win at online Casinos with the “Robot” playing automatically.

This is not cheap, with cost of £2250.00 for the software and the installation, they are also looking for 10% per month of your winnings.

They also include an agency for this sum with a commission payment of £500.00 for every new client signed up.

The company goes by the name of JPG Software or The Software Development Agency

37b New Cavendish Street
London
W1G 8JR

Have you ever heard of them?”

My reply was:

“I haven’t heard of this company before I’m afraid and I would be rather sceptical of their claims.Let me ask about this in the next newsletter and I will see if anyone else has any info.”

Looking a little further into this particular opportunity, I found that the advert says:

“The Daily Mail tested this software…”

It doesn’t say that the Mail found the software to work but simply that it “tested” it.

The report on the Daily Mail’s site basically says that someone called Dave set up two computers in their office so that they could run this bot.

It doesn’t say whether this Pokerbot is the same one as advertised in the Exchange and Mart however.

What they found was that the bot made £40 over the course of one day. Not a bad return but completely unethical!

Why the two PCs?

Well, the casino’s poker software reads your hard drive to make sure that you are not using software like this.

Because of this you have to run the pokerbot on a laptop and then network this laptop to the PC which is running the casino software.

That’s why you need the engineer to come round to install the software, I assume.

The whole story can be found here:

You’ll never beat poker robots

I’d be very interested to hear any feedback about this particular opportunity.

Have you ever used any Pokerbot software like this?

Did it work?

Did you get caught?

At the moment I am doing an experiment with a new product and trying to drive as much traffic as possible to the sales page.

In order to try and drive this traffic I am posting articles to specific directories.

The idea is that I get 10 articles about a specific subject onto article directories where they will be indexed by the search engines and also picked up by webmasters.

So tonight I decided to watch some vintage footage I have of Jim Edwards explaining how to write articles.

The DVD is 2 hours long so I managed to make 9 pages of notes on the subject. It was pretty exhausting but will be well worth it.

As Jim explained, imagine you publish an article which is picked up by 100 sites who each send 5 visitors per day. It’s over-simplified, I know, but on average it could work out to about 500 visitors per day.

500 visitors a day is 182,500 per year. That’s a lot of traffic from just one article. Plus, providing your article is related to your product, it is also qualified traffic – the very best kind.

To drive the same amount of traffic via Pay Per Click advertising would cost $18,250 at $0.10 per click.

Anyway, a couple of hours after finishing the DVD, and with an aching hand, I receive an email from Martin Avis.

Martin has just released a new report called:

‘You CAN Write Articles’

Great… absolutely brilliant…

Fantastic timing Martin, thanks for that!

Wait for me to make a load of notes and then release the shortcut two hours later!

Anyway, I grabbed a copy and sat down to read it, and this is exactly the kind of thing I need to be able to increase the quality of my articles and, hopefully, get some serious traffic to my site.

OK, this report is brand new, 43 pages long and gets to the point. There’s no padding, Martin gives you everything he knows about writing great articles.

The topics covered include:

* 12 different types of article, and which three are the best for beginners to start with.

* A foolproof template that makes writing How-to articles a snap.

* A multipurpose template that takes all the guessing out of planning any article.

* The 5 vital elements that can make or break your articles – and how to get them right every time.

* 9 pointers for writing killer headlines that will suck your readers in.

* 5 powerful ways to end your articles for maximum effect.

* The 5 myths about article writing that you must ignore.

* 6 rules for writing articles that people will love to read

Now, a report like this from a specialist like Martin really should sell for $29 to $49 but he has decided to sell it for just $7.

Yes, at today’s exchange rate that’s only about £3.80.

It’s ridiculously inexpensive and so I recommend that you grab a copy while you can.

If you want to get people to visit your site then it really is a must.

You won’t regret it!

Bit of a crazy week if you’re a financial trader with the markets looking like they are going down for a fourth straight day.

Like me, you may be asking:

What on earth is going on in the markets?

And more importantly, what happened on Tuesday February 27th?

But first, think about this:

What’s an ounce of gold or a share really worth?

Maybe that’s a trick question, but here’s the short answer:

It really doesn’t matter

The reality is, these are trading markets and they are all driven by sentiment.

We all saw how fast the equity markets collapsed on Tuesday.

Pure sentiment.

What matters, is the trend and direction of the market. You can only determine the trend by using pure market action.

The easiest way to do this is by using a program the tells you in plain english what the market is doing.

Take a look at these two new complementary videos:

(1) Here’s an Internet stock you might not want to own:

(2) Here is what an expert thinks happened to the Dow Jones and where it is headed. This might surprise you:

Time, perhaps, to stop worrying about which way the markets are moving and start thinking “it doesn’t matter“.
