What's Your Secret Sales Weapon?
I know a great one that a guy named Trey uses. He uses himself. He just uses himself in a very effective way. It's nothing unique to Trey, though. You can use yourself in the same way Trey uses himself.

The reason I tell you all this is that he's going to talk all about this $200-to-$300-per-day strategy when I interview him on a free teleseminar on March 6. This will be the first time he's ever shared his strategies publicly. I don't know if he'll ever share them again.

But I've talked him into sharing them with my readers. He's even agreed to answer your questions.

I will make his strategies available again in the future, but only as part of a paid Internet marketing course that I'm developing. So if you want to hear these strategies for free, you'll want to find out more about how be part of this teleseminar.

Jeff Gets a Business Lesson from a Monster Snow Drift
I got a reminder today of an important business lesson. Here's what happened.

We got socked in by a foot of snow last weekend. I got the most important shoveling done pretty quickly.

But there was one bit of shovelling that I kept putting off. It was the ugly stretch of sidewalk along the side of the house that I use every day to get to our garage.

It's 40 feet of claustrophobic sidewalk that forms a deep canyon between the side of our house and our neighbor's privacy fence.

It's a pain to shovel even under good conditions because there's no place to throw the snow. And these were definitely not good conditions.

The wind had whipped the snow into a monster snow drift the ENTIRE 40 FEET OF THE SIDEWALK.

I had no choice, though, unless I wanted to wade through that snow drift every day until it melts a couple of months from now.

So I approached it, shovel in hand. There was nothing to do but stick my shovel in the snow, lift it up, and slowly back out of the "canyon" until I reached an open space to dump the snow. That was what I had to do for every shovelful, the whole 40 feet of sidewalk.

Standing at my starting point, my task seemed overwhelming. But you know what? With each shovelful, with each time slowly backing out, with each shovelful deposited somewhere other than on that sidewalk, the task looked more manageable.

All of a sudden, I realized I wasn't that far from the end.

That's when I realized how much like business my show shovelling was.

Building a business is a daunting task. To get from where you are to where you need to be can seem overwhelming.

There's no way to make that leap all at once. It takes one small effort at a time, each effort bringing you that much closer to your goal. It takes persistence. It takes hard work. But if you put in the effort, you get there.

P.S. I could have told much the same story, telling of the efforts I've put into setting up my first free teleseminar with a hot, under-the-radar marketer. But, then again, if I had done that, I couldn't have captured your curiosity with a fun title like "Jeff Gets a Business Lesson From a Monster Snow Drift."

But whether it's fighting a monster snow drift or the unfamiliarity of a large task that you've never done before, the process is the same: tackle it, stick with it, get it done.

Why Video is Poised to Rule the Internet
In a little over a year, You Tube went from startup to the 4th most visited site on the Web.

Imagine yourself a TV producer whose show has always consisted of still pictures and words placed statically on the TV screen. Along come other shows, competing with yours. They're different, though. They consist of moving images that catch and hold the attention of the audience. Who's going to win?

That's what's going on right now online. Video gets attention. Video puts those who have it in a class above those who don't.

If you haven't started looking at video as an integral part of your online business, now's the time to start.

The Big Announcement
I've been dropping hints for a while now that something big was in the works. It's time to tell you what it is--or at least to START to tell you what it is.

Last month at an Internet marketing seminar, I had the pleasure of sitting next to a nice guy named Trey. We talked during the breaks between the speakers and I quickly realized he had some pretty big stuff going for him and his business.

What he was doing was a perfect antidote to perhaps the biggest problem I see people have when they start their online business. I wanted to share his secrets with people for whom those secrets could make the difference between success and failure.

The trouble is, though, that Trey is very secretive about his business. He likes to keep his competitive advantage.

I got him to make an exception to his secrecy, though. He agreed to let me interview him for you on a free teleseminar next week.

You'll get a chance to hear how he makes $200-$300 a day working on his sites only in spare time around his full-time job. You'll get a chance to hear what he does differently than most new business owners, and why what he does makes that kind of income possible. You'll even get a chance to ask him questions, if you want.

And you'll get to do all this for free, as my way of kicking off a brand new direction for One Stop Web Support.
