			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some weeks ago I mentioned that I&#8217;ve got a new product coming out soon.</p>
<p>Well I found it really hard to get work done in England, but now I&#8217;m home I&#8217;m getting stuck into it.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to tell you what it&#8217;s about yet <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> , but I just thought I&#8217;d let you know that rather than going through Clickbank I&#8217;ve bought <a href="http://rapidactionprofits.com/?e=safelock&amp;dc=v31spcl">Rapid Action Profits</a>, so that I can give you instant commissions when you become an affiliate for my (secret) product&#8230;.<span id="more-727"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-735" title="rapidactionprofits" src="http://philwiley.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/rapidactionprofits.GIF" alt="rapidactionprofits" width="472" height="130" /></p>
<p><a href="http://rapidactionprofits.com/?e=safelock&amp;dc=v31spcl">RAP</a> has a bit of a learning curve, especially seeing I&#8217;ve also invested in the membership site add-on, but as far as I can see (and judging by all the reviews from current users out there) it&#8217;s a real bargain.</p>
<p>I was also going to promote the script to you as an affiliate (when I spend something I like to make a sale or two to cover my expenditure <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) but unfortunately the price has just increased from $127 to $197.</p>
<p>Still great value, but obviously not as great as it was.</p>
<p>However, if you&#8217;ve been thinking of getting it, I&#8217;ve just been given a special discount link by Sid Hale (the man behind RAP) which will work until Sunday, keeping the old price of $127.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;ve been thinking about <a href="http://rapidactionprofits.com/?e=safelock&amp;dc=v31spcl">investing in RAP</a> now is your big chance.</p>
<p>The price has increased because a bunch of new features have been added. And as more are added the price can only keep going up.</p>
<p>So that link is only good until midnight on Sunday,19 July.</p>
<p>If you wait (or you don&#8217;t use my link), you&#8217;ll have to pay $197.</p>
<p>The price isn&#8217;t going up Monday. It has ALREADY GONE UP!</p>
<p>Either you buy now using my link, or you pay full price.</p>

<p class="wp-caption-text">paul myers talkbiz</p>
</div>
<p>Donâ€™t ask any questions, just race over there and <a href="http://philwiley.com/recommends/paulmyers/" target="_blank">grab this 100+ page book</a> while he&#8217;s still giving it away.</p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re you&#8217;re one of the few people who doesn&#8217;t yet <a href="http://philwiley.com/recommends/paulmyers/" target="_blank">read his free ezine it&#8217;s a must</a>. I&#8217;ve been a subscriber for many years.</p>
<p>Paul&#8217;s writing is helpful, interesting, often controversial, always opinionated, packed with useful info, and he doesn&#8217;t try and sell you stuff all the time. Hardly ever in fact.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll find in the free &#8220;Need To Know&#8221; ebook:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Chapter 0: The Starting Point â€“ Becoming Unstoppable</strong> : This chapter will show you how to create an unstoppable motivation, which forces you to focus on your goal and to take continuous action toward achieving it.
<p>This is probably very different from anything you&#8217;ve read on the subject before. There is absolutely no &#8220;positive thinking&#8221; or &#8220;rah-rah&#8221; stuff in it. And I don&#8217;t assume anything about what your goal is. That&#8217;s your business. I just show you how to tap into the motivation that already makes you do what you do, to strengthen and redirect it.</p>
<p>This is the single most important chapter in the book. And it applies to every area of your life, and anything you want to be, do or get.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 1: The 5 Things it Takes to Succeed Online</strong> : Your product, site and traffic are the first three. You may find yourself thinking about them differently by the time you&#8217;re done with this chapter. The fourth and fifth are the hard parts. Well, they used to be.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 2: The 7 Things You Must Include in Everything You do Online</strong> : There are 7 primary things that control the growth of your business. This chapter explains what they are, and how to hook them together to gain maximum leverage and make things happen a lot more quickly.
<p>If you already have an online business that&#8217;s making some money, this chapter could be all you need to get it flying.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 3: Cover Your Assets</strong> : It&#8217;s important to know your assets and your resources, and to build both. By the time you finish this chapter (assuming you do the work it asks for), you&#8217;ll have a much clearer idea of where you stand and what you&#8217;ve got to work with. There&#8217;s probably a lot more there than you think.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 4: Become a &#8220;Model&#8221; Citizen</strong> : This chapter includes a very different take on the concept of what a business model is, and how to choose one. It also slaps around some stupid myths that can keep you from putting things in high gear.
<p>It also points out a belief that many people have that almost guarantees they&#8217;ll never make enough money online to enjoy the lifestyle they want. The thing that scares me about that belief is the sheer number of people who hold it and don&#8217;t even know.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 5: Revenge of the Psycho-Billy Cadillac</strong> : This one explains what I call &#8220;The Project Process.&#8221; It&#8217;s a simple approach to learning and earning at the same time. I highly recommend it for people with relatively little experience, but useful skills.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 6: Gimmick, Toy or Tool?</strong> : This chapter explains the single biggest trap for folks new to the game. This one thing kills more fledgling businesses than anything except lack of effort.
<p>After looking closely at it, we&#8217;ll show you how to turn it around and make it one of your strong points.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 7: Of Wombats and Men</strong> : One of the funniest things I&#8217;ve ever written, and an important message about the ability to communicate clearly. It also offers an excellent cure for perfectionism.
<p>There is also a tweak to the product creation process in here that can get some of you moving a lot faster than you are right now. It&#8217;s incredibly simple, and almost no-one ever thinks of it.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 8: The Most Important Skill</strong> : There is one skill that determines how well anything you do online will produce: Listening.
<p>The trick is knowing how to listen, and who to listen to. You&#8217;ll find that, and more, in this chapter.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 9: &#8220;Where&#8217;s the Party?&#8221;</strong> : You&#8217;ve probably heard the phrase, &#8220;People don&#8217;t buy features. They buy benefits.&#8221; Unfortunately, even the folks preaching that can&#8217;t usually explain the difference in ways that most folks can understand at a gut level.
<p>By the time you&#8217;re done with this chapter, you&#8217;ll understand that critical difference better than most sales trainers. And that can make all the difference in the world to your bottom line.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 10: Winning The Content Contest</strong> : &#8220;Content is King.&#8221; I&#8217;ve heard that phrase so many times over the years from people who don&#8217;t understand the purpose of content that I&#8217;m ready to puke.
<p>Here&#8217;s a clue to what you&#8217;re going to learn with this chapter: Content is a vehicle. Impact is king.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 11: Are You THAT Boring?</strong> : Big time argument that raged for years: &#8220;How long should me email/article/book/report/video/whatever be?&#8221; Everyone who hears it has an opinion on the subject.
<p>Almost every one of those opinions is wrong.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 12: How to be Interesting in Print</strong> : A very basic primer in writing compelling content. If you learn and follow just these few simple steps, you&#8217;ll be years ahead of most people in the business.
<p>This one is short, and different from most writing guides you&#8217;ll encounter. For one thing, it&#8217;s based on dealing with real people. Not grammar cops.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 13: The &#8220;THUD!&#8221; Factor</strong> : This is based on another old cliche. The idea that perceived value is important to sales. That&#8217;s all well and good, but it doesn&#8217;t show you how to improve either perceived or delivered value. That&#8217;s the focus of this chapter. Complete with a checklist you can use for every product or promotion you create.
<p>If you want to develop loyal customers and develop a reputation for over-delivering, spend some extra time with this one.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 14: The World is Your Playground</strong> : I&#8217;m not going to spoil the surprise with this one. I will tell you, though, that it presents one of the very best ways there is to learn this business (and a lot of other things) in a fun, low-stress process.</li>
<li> <strong>Chapter 15: Ramp it Up!</strong> : This is the key that ties it all together and makes the effort really pay off. Taking something that works in small ways and scaling it up into something that works BIG.
<p>The information in this chapter is useful mostly to folks who want to build empires, not the people who want to make a few extra bucks, or who are in it purely for th fun of the thing.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an empire, you need to put a lot of focus on this one and on Chapter Two. They&#8217;re the keys to that doorway.</li>
</ul>
<p>That doesn&#8217;t begin to cover everything in the book, of course. The thing is over 100 pages long. That list will, however, give you a quick idea of what you&#8217;re going to find in those pages. <a href="http://philwiley.com/recommends/paulmyers/" target="_blank">You should definitely read it, and his no-spam, zero-hype free ezine</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you think I&#8217;m crazy to pay AU$13,817.60, which is 6782 pounds, and US$9923, to fly all the way from Australia to England on Virgin Upper Class for <a href="http://philwiley.com/recommends/ukworkshop/" target="_blank">a very low cost US$197 workshop</a>?  <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t, because I know that I&#8217;ll easily recoup my expenses (and much more)  with what I&#8217;ll learn there (and from the networking which could lead to some great JV deals). And I like being pampered <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>To be honest, when I know I&#8217;m going to learn something, and get to hang around with a bunch of interesting people, I&#8217;ll go anywhere, anytime.</p>
<p>The very special event (which has also attracted some people from the USA) is in Bristol on the weekend of the 8th, 9th, and 10th May and is focusing on teaching you to build your Internet empire.</p>
<p>There are only five speakers over the three days (Paulie Sabol, Donna Fox, Soren Jordansen, Amit Mehta from PPC Classroom, Jenny Amarto, plus host Robert Puddy) and they&#8217;re all giving detailed, in-depth presentations. It&#8217;s going to be practical information too, not sales pitch rubbish, but info that&#8217;s going to get you buzzing with ideas and enthusiasm and keep you up half the night scribbling notes and planning your business ventures.</p>
<p><a href="http://philwiley.com/recommends/ukworkshop/" target="_blank">You can read all about it here</a></p>
<p>And <a href="http://philwiley.com/recommends/ukworkshopvideo/" target="_blank">here&#8217;s a video if you want to see one</a>, though it&#8217;s only of Robert Puddy talking and he&#8217;s not all that pretty after eating too many of those Cornish Pasties he&#8217;s addicted to <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-566" title="cornishpasty" src="http://philwiley.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cornishpasty.gif" alt="cornishpasty" width="496" height="233" /></p>
<p>Seriously though, Robert Puddy is one of the nicest and most helpful blokes you&#8217;re ever likely to meet, and this workshop could be one of the best learning environments you&#8217;ve ever attended.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a three day intensive training weekend (plus after hours networking and jv partnering) that&#8217;s almost guaranteed to put you on the right track to earning a decent online living. It&#8217;s main focus is to help you massively increase the traffic / visitors you get to your websites.Â  As you know, if you can&#8217;t get people to visit your websites or see your products you&#8217;re on the path to failure. This weekend, which I&#8217;m really looking forward to, is going to help drive you and your traffic forward. And at just $197 the cost is very, very low.</p>
<p>As far as I&#8217;m concerned it&#8217;s something not to be missed if you live in the UK. If I can travel many thousands of miles for it, I&#8217;m sure you Brits can drive a few miles to attend.</p>
<p>But you&#8217;d better hurry and book it because it&#8217;s not one of these mega audience events where you&#8217;re watching someone on a distant stage. So there are limited seat, plus the hotel is filling fast (and it&#8217;s always best to stay in the same hotel as the workshop because the after hours networking will probably continue late into the night)</p>
<p>And you&#8217;d also better make sure that you come up and talk to me (don&#8217;t be shy) and we&#8217;ll have a coffee or something together and chat about your business or aims.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be the suntanned grey haired oldish guy with the big smile and an accent more Yorkshire than Australian <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" src="../../../../../images/high-density-gardening.jpg" alt="high density gardening" />My younger brother Richard has    just written his first book. It&#8217;s called <a title="" href="../../../../../recommends/gardening/" target="_blank">High Density Gardening</a>,    and it&#8217;s all about no-dig, deep-bed backyard vegetable growing. If you&#8217;ve    ever thought of growing fruit and vegetables in your back yard this is a    perfect book. Even if you only have a couple of square feet to    spare.</p>
<p>As far as I recall, gardening is a subject I&#8217;ve never written    about before. That&#8217;s because it doesn&#8217;t fit in with the general theme    of this newsletter, and also because gardening is something I    have little interest in.</p>
<p>Perhaps that&#8217;s because gardening is so easy    here in the sub-tropics. As easy as throwing a half eaten tomato, or just    about<br />anything else with seeds, off the balcony into the garden and    then a few months later going down and picking the crop.</p>
<p>Anyway, if    you&#8217;re a gardener in less hospitable climes than mine, I&#8217;d like to    recommend it to you. It&#8217;s well written, and gardeners are enthusiastic    about it.</p>
<p>Well known Internet marketer and gardening enthusiast, Martin    Avis, says:</p>
<p>
<blockquote>&quot;I sat down to read and was immediately absorbed. Your    writing<br />style is very personable and down to earth, (pardon the pun), and    I<br />was hooked <span class="nfakPe">from</span> page one. </p>
<p>I learned a lot <span class="nfakPe">from</span> your book &#8211; things    that I knew but hadn&#8217;t really <br />understood and things that I didn&#8217;t already    know. I even learned a <br />whole new way of laying out a vegetable patch that    I&#8217;d not even <br />suspected before &#8211; but will put into action on my    plots right away. <br />The only problem with your &#8216;<a href="http://philwiley.com/recommends/gardening/">High Density Gardening</a>&#8216;    was that once <br />I started reading I couldn&#8217;t stop &#8211; and lost several hour&#8217;s    gardening<br />time this afternoon! Still, with what I&#8217;ve learned, it will    have been time <br />very well invested.&quot; <br />Martin Avis.</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="" href="../../../../../recommends/gardening/" target="_blank"><br /></a>By    the way, Ric is looking for affiliates, so if you have a well trafficked    gardening site (or you use <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=627560" class="broken_link">SpeedPPC</a> <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) you can get in    touch with him at highdensitygardening&nbsp; AT googlemail DOT com</p>
