SEO Training Mastermind Call
Our students from the Arizona Search Engine Academy receive six months of free mentorship after attending one of our SEO Training and Internet Marketing workshops and last night we held one of our monthly SEO Mastermind Calls.
Some of the concerns that we discussed during our Matermind included:
- The proper utilization of 301 redirects when using secure pages
- Recent changes and additions with Google Local Search
- And a student having one of his clients Google Local Business accounts being sandboxed
Our next Mastermind is scheduled for March 24th with Michael Marshall who will have a webinar demonstrating his SEO Tools that include SEO Recon, SEO Scout and SEO Sniper. Also participants in this call will receive a limited time special offer to purchase these tools at a special discount.
This call will also be an open to everyone that has signed up for our SEO Tip of the Day!

How I Edit a Video Using Sony Vegas Studio
This past weekend many of the instructors for the Search Engine Academy meet in Las Vegas for our “Minds In Motion” workshop to preview the new training material for our SEO training seminars and to do some brainstorming on some new classes. Michael Marshall also spent some time reviewing some of the updates to his SEO Tools such as SEOrecon, SEO Scout and SEO Sniper.
But the part that I enjoyed the most was meet and hanging out with the other SEO instructors such as Sue Cooper who came all the way from Australia and Nancy Wigal who has just started teaching her Internet Marketing classes in Washington DC.
One of my strengths in IM has always been video so when that discussion finally came around I pulled out my trusty video recorder and gave an example on how I do shoot and edit my videos.
So tonight as I was editing this video I thought it would be kind of fun to make a video of how I edit a video.
Lets Get Buzzed!
Last night the “Nostradamus of Google”, Chris Lang, was our featured speaker at our SEO and Internet Marketing Meetup.
Chris’s presentation was about Google Buzz which is Google’s newest social media program.
Google Buzz is now a part of Gmail and it allows people to follow that they e-mail or chat with on a regular basis.
Google Buzz users can choose to make their updates private, only available to certain people, or public in which case Google’s search engine can find and display in the SERP’s (search engine results pages).
So why did Google launch Buzz? As Chris explains in the following videos it is a new social media service that will filter out meaningless information and provide a service unlike Twitter where everyone is talking, but no one is listening.
In the following weeks Chris will be releasing a PDF that will also list some of his “secret tips” that he uses to build up his tribe of followers on Google Buzz along with his linking strategies. If you’re interested in receiving Chris’s PDF once it is released, please sign up for our free SEO tip of the day and the link for the PDF will be provided once it is available.
Life Changing Events!
My daughter Erin, was by my side during the heyday of Radarbusters; answering the hundreds of telephone calls, emails, packing the orders and pitching in with copywriting and image editing.
She was also by my side when we received the phone call from Netshops offering to buy our empire of websites and social media properties for over seven figures.
After this life changing phone call with both Erin and I celebrating that we were millionaires, she broke the news to me “Dad, I have a boyfriend (Thomas) in Flagstaff and we are in love, we are getting
married. We just didn’t know how to break the news that I wouldn’t be here with you with Radarbusters forever”.
Well time has finally come, next month my little girl Erin and Thomas are getting married in Las Vegas!
Focus on What You Want!
At last week’s SEO class Joe Sugarman was my featured guest and speaker. At the beginning of Joe’s presentation he spoke about focusing on things you want to change in your life. Joe began his presentation with three questions:
1- If you want to improve your health, what do you focus on?
2 – If you want to improve your business, what do you focus on?
3 – If you want to focus on making money, what do you focus on?
Our students initially replied:
A – Focus on a healthy lifestyle
B – Focus on improving your business
C- And focus on making money
Joe responded that everyone got A and B right, but everyone was wrong with C, focusing on making money.
He related that if we only focus on making money we are in effect trading hours for dollars. To become financially successful you must focus on helping others become successful too.
Joe’s message resonated with me looking back at my success and the other business owners that I’ve worked with over the years.
Erin’s and my success with Radarbusters was to first provide unmatched service to our customers; they then told their friends who in turn told their friends. Thus I created my own tribe of clients.
We have replicated this same philosophy in helping others become successful with our Meetups and SEO and Internet Marketing Workshops, here are a couple of examples;
Carol Sprauge: I first met Carol at an event where she asked to have her website reviewed. Carol was 63 years old and full of excitement saying that she had learned Front Page and PhotoShop and that this was her first website selling tire pressure monitors.
Well to say her website sucked would be an understatement. However she took our recommendation to heart and the site was redesigned. One year later she became a millionaire.
Jesse Musick: Last June Jesse sat in one of our “Hot Seats” as he called it. He had just launched his new website promoting tools for Internet Marketing. I spent the first 20 seconds looking at Jesse’s site and asked, “What the heck do you sell here, I don’t have a clue?”
We then gave Jesse suggestions on how to improve his site, focusing on the benefits of his programs, not the features.
Jesse called me last week saying that he had made all of these changes and is ready to launch his new site. I looked it over this weekend and I’m positive that Jesse will be very successful in his new venture.
Are You Ready for Your Next Life Changing Event?
If so then you don’t want to miss next month’s Meetup or our March SEO Workshop.
We moved back our normal Meetup date one week so I can be by my daughter’s side as I walk her down the aisle, giving her away at her wedding.
But the following week, February 25th, I’ll be at your side when as we put members of our Meetup in the “hot seat” where we will be doing site reviews.
I’m positive that there will be many of you that will want to sign up for this event as soon as you read this postl, however the meeting room at Bill Johnson’s can only accommodate fifty attendees . So to avoid problems such as from our last Meetup where 50 members sign up and 15 did not attend, you will be charged $5.00 through Paypal when you RSVP.
This small $5.00 investment is thus your commitment to the other members of our group that you’re ready to take action and learn about Internet Marketing from our group.
Let Us Help You Get Focused!
To be truly successful as an Internet Marketer you will need to become focused and stop treating your interest in Internet Marketing as a hobby or as a passing interest. You need to treat this as a real opportunity to change the lifestyle of your business, family and your life.
As you’re reading this I’m sure that you may be asking yourself right now, “ok, Roy how do I accomplish this?”
Well the secret is to become focused and to learn about SEO and Internet Marketing from the ground up so you will have the knowledge and skills to be successful in the highly competitive online business world.
The next question you’re probably asking yourself is “Ok, I don’t have the time or I don’t think I have the basic skills to learn all this stuff.”
Remember Carol, the 64 year old lady that is now a millionaire selling tire pressure monitors? She said the same thing to me after our review of her website.
But she stepped up to the plate, learned everything she could at our SEO Workshop and became successful and quit her full time job in only three months after her launch.
Are you ready to step up to the plate and to stop working for a paycheck but for a lifestyle?
If so we have six openings left for our March basic and advanced SEO workshop.
Our last two SEO Classes were sold out, so don’t miss this opportunity, sign up now!
