Mike Koenigs has been known for nearly a decade as the creator of Traffic Geyser, the program that has saved thousands of Internet marketers the hassle of campaign content distribution. As of this spring, Koenigs’ name, pronounced “kay-nigs,” is showing up on the forefront of the marketing world once again – this time with a unique marketing tool and coaching course called Main Street Marketing Machines 2.
Mike Koenigs, me and some other Mavericks on an '80s Road Rally.
Main Street Marketing Machines 2 is a business plan: one carefully developed and molded into a fail proof stratagem for the dedicated entrepreneur. This isn’t one of those programs where you’ll need to buy more books or subscribe to newsletters later on to understand Koenigs’ teachings; everything you need to go from 0 to 60 as an Internet marketer is included in the Main Street Marketing Machines 2.
Even if you’ve never started any sort of business endeavor before, you know a business plan is key to keeping your campaign on track and getting the results you are aiming for. Any business needs a plan or model of some sort: even a lemonade stand needs to begin with a set goal so they know how much money to invest in supplies, advertising and labor and how much they need to charge to offset these costs. Of course, one single lemonade stand is an extremely simple business endeavor. Even the most basic Internet marketing campaign is going to be significantly more complex than selling lemonade on your street corner.
But don’t be intimidated. Mike Koenigs knows what he is talking about when it comes to designing, launching and succeeding in business opportunities. He and his wife, Vivian Glyck, are both start-up entrepreneurs and Koenigs has been associated with the likes of MrBz.com, PushButtonVideoMarketing.com, Mixiv.com, BreakthroughVideo.com and EverythingYouShouldKnow.com. He is also the CEO of Global Traffic Network, parent company to both Traffic Geyser and Main Street Marketing Machines.
So when you hear that the Main Street Marketing Machines 2 training course is the ultimate course of beginning and intermediate marketers, the fact that it is a product of Koenigs’ experience and marketing genius will confirm these rave reports. Within weeks of the Main Street Marketing Machines 2 launch in May of 2010, Koenigs reported full registration.
The actual content of Main Street Marketing Machines 2 is more than training, though. Koenigs has created a complete package of easy-to-use, fill-in-the-blank type forms for aspects of your fresh start. The course will provide you with easy-to-use templates for brochures, business cards and more – everything you need to take your campaign to the next level. Koenigs has set up his program so that it is comprehensive but also easy to follow and understand. This combination of full spectrum business knowledge with step-by-step guides makes the Main Street Marketing Machines 2 a powerful product. The Main Street Marketing Machines 2 also includes app makers for smart phones, auto responder and opt-in tools, marketing niche recommendations, and even dozens of video scripts to get you started on multimedia marketing.
A huge aspect of Internet marketing that most training courses overlook is the legal precautions and necessary steps that marketers need to take to protect themselves and run an honest business. Koenigs has the previous and current business experience to know that most marketers, particularly those at the beginning of the careers or stuck in ruts, most likely don’t know what legal forms they need and what situations need official contracts. Main Street Marketing Machines 2 gives you the knowledge, the tools and the support to make sure your new company is completely legal.
In short, Main Street Marketing Machines 2 is what every beginning marketer needs to launch their start-up business. Instead of focusing on just one aspect of marketing or one tool, Main Street Marketing Machines 2 lets marketers in on all the secrets and shortcuts in Internet marketing. As the name suggests, this new product by Koenigs makes the complex and enticing world of Internet marketing available as a wildly successful venture for beginning marketers in all niches.
The Social Profit Formula Course is a social media marketing course for marketers of all levels to learn everything from the basics to the most complex strategies of social media marketing. The formula in itself is a guide to marketers, but the course also presents information and introduces tools that will help implement the formula. The Social Profit Formula Course is made up of six video modules that detail different aspects of social media marketing. The entire course is taught over 12 weeks, with module instruction interspersed every other week with earning practice.
Module 1 is titled Social Marketing Quick Start and is basically a beginner’s guide to the underlying strategy that makes this marketing program unique. The Social Profit Formula is a simple plan that takes less than 20 minutes a day to implement but is expertly designed to produce results via social media marketing. Using Status Syndicator and other tools, the Social Profit Formula aims to be fast, simple and efficient.
Module 1 sets the foundation of the entire course by introducing the key points of the Social Profit Formula. All that follows simply builds on these concepts, giving the marketer new ideas and new tools to maximize their profits. Module 2 is called Microblogging and explains how to use websites like Twitter as social media marketing tools. The Social Profit Formula teaches marketers to use these websites to target niche audiences, build trust, and create reliable customers and fans.
Module 3, Content Sharing Sites and Blogging, addresses regular blogging and all the tools associated with sites like WordPress. This module details how to create a blog that is not just interesting to your readers but is also actively turning them into customers. The Social Profit Formula encourages the use of blogs as gateways to moneymaking marketing sites and explains that a blog must draw readers in so thoroughly that they don’t think twice about clicking on links. Module 3 also covers marketing techniques using content sharing sites.
It isn’t until Module 4 that the Social Profit Formula starts addressing Social Networking Sites. Module 4 builds on the information provided in previous modules to delve into the complex, relatively new world of websites like Facebook. One of the focuses in this module is how to attract followers and turn them into customers. On social networking sites, users move from page to page so quickly and are so often bombarded with scams that marketers are constantly forced to walk the fine line between advertising and spamming. The Social Profit Formula addresses these concerns and troubles and teaches marketers how to overcome them and gain the trust of your followers.
The second to last module of the Social Profit Formula Course is titled Online Video and helps marketers understand and implement one of the most effective marketing tools around: video. Even with its high rate of effectiveness, few marketers use video in their campaigns. The Social Profit Formula Course instructs marketers how to make videos and also how to use them effectively and efficiently in social media marketing. As with all the modules in the Social Profit Formula Course, Module 5 has step-by-step instructions for beginners as well as complex campaign strategy advice for advanced marketers.
The sixth and final module of the Social Profit Formula Course is titled Integrating Social Marketing. Taking all the information and tools presented in previous modules, Module 6 focuses on how to combine all these resources into a massively effective social media marketing campaign. The Social Profit Formula Course asserts that the key to powerful social media marketing is not in the successful use of one individual tool or avenue, but instead in the combination and collaboration of many different techniques and tools. The Social Profit Formula is, in short, the extraordinarily effective combination of all the best social media marketing strategies and tools currently available. The Social Profit Formula Course shows marketers how to tap into this carefully crafted formula.
Each module is made up of videos, note-taking guides, workbooks, and assignments. Also provided are typed transcripts of the videos so students can continue studying the information presented. Webinars, weekly training, forum communication and question and answer sessions are also all part of the course so marketers can thoroughly learn the curriculum. The Social Profit Formula Course is made for marketers of all levels and in all niches who are looking for immediate results in their social media marketing endeavors.

What is the Trickster and why does it matter? In brief, the Trickster, in Greek mythology, is a deity that breaks the rules of the gods and nature. The Trickster defies convention by playing with convention. There are a few qualities of the Trickster that are worth considering in relation to the work we do as marketers.
Now you might not think of direct linking with ppc as being marketing. But it is marketing. And there are some principles that inform direct linking and ppc ads that may surprise you as well as many other areas of marketing. I think so often marketing, and especially Internet marketing, is viewed as an odd little corner of the market where all the rules don’t apply, lazy people can be millionaires and clicks can turn into gold. Well, there are some truths that have existed for many generations and are still true today. One of those truths is that change comes from people that are willing to challenge convention and common practice. Some famous Trickster figures in literature are Puck (from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream), the coyote in Native American literature and even Bugs Bunny. When you consider the characteristics of the Trickster, outlined below, I think you will find them everywhere.
So what is the Trickster again? Really the Trickster is that character that changes the course of the story; the Trickster surprises you by challenging your assumptions. There are a few characteristics that we can learn from as marketers:
The Trickster is willing and able to cross boundaries and act as a go-between.
The Trickster sees things from a different perspective and see continuity where others see difference.
The Trickster sees opportunity where others see roadblocks.
The Trickster allows for paradoxes rather than contradictions. The Trickster allows for two seemingly incompatible realities to coexist.
The Trickster makes connections that other people don’t.
The Trickster believes in smart luck.
Good marketers do all of these things well. And as marketers that are constantly striving to be better at our craft, let’s think for a minute about how we can apply these characteristics to our work.
A marketer builds bridges between communities to add value to those communities. Here is one example: A marketer is able to communicate the value of a product or service so that someone will understand that value. A marketer builds a bridge between buyers and sellers. A marketer takes information from experts and communicates the value to consumers.
A marketer takes other people’s point of view in order to communicate to them. A marketer that never gets outside his own perspective will fail to sell his product every time.
A marketer is more interested in what other people think than in what he thinks. Why is your landing page not converting? Stop asking yourself. Start asking your visitors.
A marketer sees connections between communities and websites and messages that others don’t. This allows for whole new markets to be created. Imagine 15 years ago listening to someone talk about a multi-billion dollar industry dedicated to helping people make money online. Marketers told people that there would be such an industry because they made that connection.
A marketer believes that he will win in the long run. A marketer will test test test to find out how to sell something because he believes that he will find out how, and he will actually sell his product or service.
In brief, don’t hold your own opinions as being more important than your customers’ — break down conventional wisdom, build bridges between people and communities, and believe that you will win.

Also, if you did not have a chance to watch the pre-launch videos, I would recommend you do. They are packed with insights that will be helpful to anyone looking to make money online, whether as an advertiser or a publisher.
Previous post: Hey all,
We are hosting a private webinar with Eben Pagan where he will reveal:
How to target a profitable niche online — that has the best chance of making money
How to create an Information Product that others will pay you a high price for
How to build your list — and build a relationship with your list — without risking or investing your own money up front
This is a fantastic opportunity to hear directly from Eben about GURU Blueprint. Not sure if this program is right for you? Find out today, June 4th, at 12 p.m. Pacific.
As a ppc marketer, one of the things I have been late to the party on is selling my own information products. Well, this is going to change. I already have one product on the market, not in the IM niche, but it is not doing as well as hoped.
So I am coming back around to where I started and re-creating the messaging and the product itself (again, not in the IM niche). One of the people I am learning from is Eben Pagan and his Guru Mastermind material. It is fantastic. It has been a little painful actually to consider my own process up to this point, which is best described as haphazard. If I had done, step by step, what Eben is teaching I would have saved much time and money.
So go check out the free video and download the free pdfs and don’t make the same mistake I made. Check it out here.
P.S.
We have also persuaded Eben to give out some additional content that will give you some very specific tips on how to build the value of a product with the title. Imagine changing the title to your product and seeing a 300% increase in sales. Learn how with this free report: no opt-in required, just visit our Guru Blueprint Facebook Page.
How do you examine a marketplace to figure out whether or not there are customers? How do you figure out the most profitable niches? Eben has released the second video where he answers these questions.
If you are trying to figure out what market to enter with a new product or you are trying to figure out what products to promote for the long term, this video will be a big help.
There are really only two types of bonus offers for Product Launch Formula 3…
There are the bonuses that promise to deliver you additional info products that will fill in the gaps for Product Launch Formula. You are asked to think that you will now be able to master seo, and ppc and social media and on and on. There is an info product for everything you need to be successful. Now you will do it all!
But there is a fatal flaw with all these types of bonuses.
Actually there are many flaws with this type of bonus offer. But the most obvious problem is that you are purchasing a course that will take considerable time to digest. And this is important — you need to take time to ingest Product Launch Formula. It will completely rewire your thinking about how to market any product and especially info products.
So the question that is just begging to be asked: Do you have the time to take in Product Launch Formula 3.o and to also take in three to six other courses? I think the answer is obvious.
But that is not the only problem. Have you heard of the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule? Basically the 80/20 rule suggests that 20 percent of your work makes you 80 percent of your money. As much as possible you want to be doing only those things that make you money. Love seo? Love ppc? Love sales copy? Love product development? Love making websites? Do you love all of these things equally and can you learn all of them to the point where you can execute them profitably?
This is the problem we all have. There are things we love to do and will make us money, and there are a host of other things we think we need to do in order to make money but in reality will only cause frustration. You need to focus on the things that will make you the most money.
So what is different about my bonus offer and how will it help you? Of course you have to decide what it is that you need.
The first thing that makes this Product Launch Formula 3.0 Bonus offer different is that we are going to speak honestly and candidly about what we are offering so you can decide if it is right for you. Also, we will explain exactly why we are offering this bonus — it’s not just about the commission.
I am an affiliate marketer and I am constantly looking for programs and services to promote. So I am using product launches to find partners. Primarily I have focused my energies on ppc marketing, direct linking to offers, and I have done well. Over the last year I have expanded my business into other areas using an expanded tool set. One of the coolest tools I have picked up is search engine optimization and social media marketing. If has been lots of fun. In fact, if you are on this website it is because you found us through a link on Google, that’s thanks to my seo work.
I find that the stronger my partners are, the stronger I get. So my bonus offer is designed to give you the extra strength that you can use to build an offering that will last for years to come. I make the most money on products that sell for years. In fact, I still have a couple of programs that are still paying me seven years later. These are the kind of partnerships I want to find, and if I can, I want to help create these kinds of partnerships.
So if you buy through my affiliate link, here is what you will get.
Bonus #1:
Exactly how I make money with ppc
I will explain exactly how to make money with ppc marketing using direct linking.
I will explain exactly how I look for offers to promote.
The exact same software I use to build my ppc campaigns
I will give you a 12-month subscription to the exact same software I use every day to build my own ppc campaigns. I am giving you the same software I use, not partial access, not a limited feature set. (I had this software created for me several years ago, and with a few changes over the years I am still using it.)
I will explain how I use this software to build the campaigns and my perspective on direct linking.
Bonus #2
Personal attention from me about your product or service
I will review your product and your marketing strategy.
I will critique your product so that it is ready for market.
I will spend time with you over email and over Skype.
Bonus #3
I will promote you as an affiliate
Once your product is ready for market, I will promote you products.
Worried about who is going to sell your stuff as you get started? Don’t worry because I will be promoting your product as an affiliate.
Bonus #4
I will network for you
Click the image below to access the pre-launch material (which is worth your time regardless of your interest in launching your own products) and to purchase PLF 3.0.
I’ll expose your product to my network of top marketers (people I know from Yanik’s Maverick Business Adventures, Eben Pagan’s private Green Room event and other JV’s I know from my 8 years in the biz… how would you like to have these guys promoting your new info product? (priceless)
Jeff Walker has updated his famous Product Launch Formula program and will be releasing it to the public shortly. We are running a raffle on Facebook, which everyone is encouraged to take part in.
Raffle details below:

Product Launch Formula takes you through three major steps of the launch – pre-launch, mid-launch, and post-launch.

He shows you how concepts like reciprocity and social proof can build massive credibility in any market very quickly.

Eben Pagan has just opened his Guru Blueprint videos and I highly recommend you check them out. I am offering a pretty cool bonus, and this is the first time I am doing this sort of thing. Would love to get your feedback. You can watch my video below.
Guru Blueprint is the long awaited training and coaching program from Eben Pagan. It’s a step-by-step coaching program that takes you by the hand and shows you exactly how to build your own multi-million dollar info product business.
This is a proven BLUEPRINT that Eben has used time and time again. He has used it for over a decade now and he’s made over $29 Million dollars last year alone. Now is your chance to get the blueprint from Eben and start your own empire.
The course consists of downloadable content and tons LIVE webinar trainings.
Having a blueprint to follow really cuts short your learning curve. I always say, model those who are already successful. In fact this is what I have done for my whole online marketing career. I have modeled what other guru’s have done. Now I choose my mentors carefully. And as I am moving into new areas there are two things that have been made very clear to me with producing your own information products: You need a good solid product and great marketing. If you don’t have both of these then you are not going to be making sales like you need to be making sales. With GURU Blueprint you are getting a road map for creating you product and for marketing your product.
Some of the benefits are:
• Info products don’t require you to deal with inventory, stock, shipping etc.
• After you create it, you can sell it again and again without additional costs.
• No office needed
• No employees needed until you are driving big volume and can afford it.
• Easy to outsource
Guru Blueprint training and webinars will take you through the entire process of creating and marketing your infoproduct business. Having a blueprint to follow really cuts short your learning curve. I always say, model those who are already successful. In fact this is what I have done for my whole online marketing career. I have modeled what other guru’s have done. Now I choose my mentors carefully. And as I am moving into new areas there are two things that have been made very clear to me with producing your own information products: You need a good solid product and great marketing. If you don’t have both of these then you are not going to be making sales like you need to be making sales. With GURU Blueprint you are getting a road map for creating you product and for marketing your product.
Is Guru Blueprint worth the price tag?
Absolutely, yes. Eben always puts out quality information products and Guru Blueprint is looking to be the best yet. Getting in front of the trend just makes sense. The information products industry is set to grow into a several hundred billion dollar industry over the coming years. Learning these skills now so we can profit from the growth curve is a no-brainer in my book.
Have you seen the stuff Eben shared over the past couple of weeks including his Niche Intelligence Report? He could have charged good money for that but instead gave it away as a good-will gesture to show you the quality of Guru Blueprint.
This program will only be available for a limited time and only for a select few. You are being offered a chance to learn from one of the best, how to be the best in your market. And the thing about your market is this: whatever it is, the information products in your market will see huge growth over the next couple of decades. This business is not just a temporary fad, it is not just a fiction of internet marketers. The information marketing business is going to be experiencing massive growth in every corner of the internet. Whether you are teaching people how to train their dogs or are teaching people how to eat healthier or anything else that you love to do.
Learn how to catch the coming wave of customers. Look at the music industry. For years, people wanted to consume music via their computer. They wanted to have music on their computers so badly that they were willing to steal it under threat of prosecution. And then Apple made buying music through their itunes store possible and a small market became a huge market and then Amazon got on the bandwagon and then this service and that service. A market that the music industry could not have imagined exploded underneath them.
The same thing is happening with information products. Right now people get their information from a select few sources that don’t really have that much detail. Wikipedia, About.com eHow.com and others. Well these places don’t have great detailed explanations, they don’t have quality perspectives, they don’t have an ounce of fun. Their are thousands of niches that are just waiting to be monetized.
Learn how to monetize your niche for the long term with GURU Blueprint. Learn how to craft your messaging so that people will pay high prices for your content. Remember the Sony Walkman you could get those for $20 bucks and then the iPod was released. It had less features than a Walkman cost $200-$400, which was way more than the Walkman, and it sold like gangbusters. Why? It made things easier and more fun for people. People paid 10 times as much for less functionality that was easier and more fun. The same thing is happening with information.
Info products that are easier to understand, more fun to consume and are way more expensive will get sold. The question is will you be the one selling them or the one buying them?
