2 *time-sensitive* announcements…
Jim Edwards here with a couple of important and time-
sensitive updates…
PART #1 – FR.EE Call – Tonight (9/29 at 9:00 p.m. eastern)
“How I Turned a $29 Ebook Into a Million Dollar Business”
As a warmup for speaking at the BIG Seminar on
November 4,5 & 6, my good friend Armand Morin and I are
doing a conference call tonight where I’ll reveal:
~ The mindset I used to break out of a 4-year “rut” of very
mediocre results to finally create a very profitable
online business that started (and still starts) with a
$29 ebook.
~ The key processes you must go through to create an ebook
that sells (unlike 99% of the ebooks out there).
~ How to create a $97 dollar back-end product immediately
using a simple piece of software you can get for free.
~ Why most people fail when it comes to selling ebooks…
and how you can avoid joining their fate and actually
succeed!
~ … as much more as we can pack into an hour call!
Go here to sign up, you’ll receive an email with the phone#
and PIN# by return email:

Skype Lets You Make Free Phone Calls Online (article)

Skype Lets You Make Free Phone Calls Online

Everywhere you turn phone companies offer 3 or 5-cent long
distance phone calls, or even unlimited long distance for a
flat fee monthly.
Now you can make reliable calls using the Internet for
anywhere from 0 to 2.3-cents per minute.
Welcome to Skype, the Internet telephony company that has
set the traditional telephone world on its ear.
Recently purchased by Ebay for 2.6 billion dollars, Skype
stands ready to revolutionize worldwide voice communication
simply because they enable you to carry on crystal clear
voice communication with anyone else in the world with a
either a phone or Internet connection.
What’s the catch you ask?
Well, to make phone calls, you need a computer, a
microphone, speakers, a modem, an Internet connection and
the free Skype software you can download from www.skype.com
To make a free phone call, you need someone on the receiving
end with a computer, Internet connection, and the Skype
software installed.
To make a call from your computer to a land-based phone
virtually anywhere in the world, you must pre-pay for
calling minutes in blocks of 10 Euros (approximately $12
U.S.).
One block of calling minutes gets you about 500 minutes of
calling time, or a little over 8 hours of talking time.
Skype uses a technology called IP telephony.
IP telephony first appeared commercially back in the lat
1990′s with services like Dialpad.com, which initially
offered phone calls from computers to land-based phones in
exchange for watching online advertising.
This model soon failed, but the thought of making ultra-
cheap phone calls through a computer did not.
And, as the recent mega sale of Skype reveals, a market now
exists that can put Internet telephony to work on a grand
scale, or at least large enough to make eBay pony up with a
lot of cash and stock to give it a try.
Once you install the software, you log onto the service and
can make phone calls to other Skype users through their
computers at no charge.
You can set up a call list, much like an instant messaging
“buddy list” so with a couple clicks of the mouse you can
ring your friends up for a chat.
Or, if you pre-pay for calling minutes, you can enter in the
country code and phone number of your pals, click a button,
and their phone or cell phone will ring.
Skype also allows you to hold conference calls with up to 4
other people at the same time, making it easy to hold group
meetings.
Skype includes a group chat feature which allows you to hold
a group chat session with up to 48 other people at the same
time… excellent for “webinars” or even planning that next
family reunion.
Skype also allows you to transfer files to and from other
users, perfect for sharing photos, music and short video
clips with your pals.
Tip: Get a good headset microphone.
It makes using the service more enjoyable and also
eliminates the echo created by your own speakers feeding
back into your PC’s microphone.

Can You Really “Strike Gold” Online?
… This article won’t make me popular
Jim Edwards here with an article (below) I just published in
the newspaper…
I think it cuts down to the bone on some issues that will
probably make some people mad at me (oh well)…
You be the judge
By the way…
Go to this website right now and read every word of it!

8 of my online friends and I are getting together next
Tuesday night to raise money for hurricane relief.
Unlike other fund raisers where you pay money to the
vendor and you must trust them to turn the money over
to a charity (whether you like the charity or not)… in
our setup you donate DIRECTLY to the charity of YOUR CHOICE
and then get access to the call.
We never touch your money and it goes directly to the
charity of your choice the minute you donate.
ANY donation amount gets you on the call… and you then
gain immediate access to the call next Tuesday.
So please, check it out:

Thanks

PS – Contrary to popular belief, I did NOT have a heart
attack last week. I had an attack of atrial fibrilation
(“a fib”) which landed me in the hospital for a hair-raising
day.
They upped my medicine to the point that a rattlesnake
jumping out of my sock drawer would barely raise my pulse
by a beat… so I should be okay for the forseeable future.
Thanks to all who expressed your concern and offered your
prayers

Can You Really “Strike Gold” Online?

I guess human nature leads us to this about every 30 – 50
years.
As a history major, I studied the gold rush of 1849, the
19th century oil booms, the stock market hustles of the late
1920′s, the get rich-quick mail order schemes of the 1950′s
and 60′s and now the “Internet” gold rush of the late 1990′s
and early 21st century.
When people perceive someone else getting rich with little
or no effort, they jump on the band wagon seeking fame and
fortune.
In reality, in any “gold rush,” the ones who really get rich
represent the exception.
Unfortunately, people perceive those “exceptions” as the
rule, rather than the special cases they actually represent.
But, if you’re bound and determined that you can be one of
the “chosen few” who get rich online, the following tips
will save you years of frustration.
** Little Oil Wells **
Don’t try to get rich online with one gold
or oil “strike!”
Most people I know who do very well online
operate multiple websites targeting multiple niche markets.
They sell many products and make their money by creating
multiple streams of income rather than depending on a single
website to stake their claim for online riches.
** Solve Problems **
People go online to solve problems.
Whether they need to improve their job interview skills or
find a winter coat and hat for their Chihuahua, they want to
find products or knowledge they don’t currently possess.
The more pressing the problem, the easier and faster these
people will buy.
The easiest way to make a fortune online involves finding
the most severe problems you can and charging for the
solutions.
** Sweat, Not Money **
Most people want to throw money at a problem and hope that
will get them what they desire.
This fact keeps the “get-rich-quick” schemers in business.
However, the best way to make money online involves getting
your hands dirty, learning a market inside and out,
discovering what they want to buy and why, and then selling
it to them.
Contrary to popular belief, throwing money at a problem
often won’t solve it.
** Don’t Compete **
The fastest way to make a fortune online involves persuading
other people to sell your product or service for you as an
affiliate.
However, nobody sells a product or service for someone they
perceive as “competition.”
You must position your product or service in such a way that
others will eagerly promote it for you because they see you
as someone who complements what they already offer.
** Wants vs. Needs **
Circus and publicity guru, P.T. Barnum, expressed it best,
“People will spend their last nickel to have fun!”
People always find a way to buy what they want, but often
avoid spending on what they need.
** The Underwear Myth **
The “make money in your underwear at the kitchen table
working only 1 or 2 hours a day” represents the biggest
crock of !@#$% ever foisted on the public.
Anyone I know who makes a lot of money at anything, busts
their buns to get their projects off the ground.
Once they get a business up and running, it might only take
a couple of hours a day or week to keep it running, but they
worked their fingers to the bone to get things rolling.
And the real secret to their success: they repeat the
process over and over again!

If you love Smacker…
Jim Edwards here with a Friday update for “I Gotta Tell You”
subscribers.
If you love my sidekick, Smacker, you’ll love this update…
If you hate Smacker, his voice, or his attitude, this update
won’t do anything to change your mind
Since I’ve been feeling poorly lately, Smacker decided to
make a “Microwave Marketing” Video to answer a reader
question about getting traffic to your websites.
I think you’ll find his 6 minute presentation very… um…
enlightened? Well, okay, hopefully you’ll think it’s funny
and you’ll understand the topic a little better

Personal Update
I had an attack of atrial fibrilation (a really bad one) on Friday… that means the top part of the heart beats so fast the bottom can’t keep up… if it goes on for very long you can get a blood clot that can travel through your body and do some serious damage.
What makes this really odd is that I understand Tony Blake, a well-known marketer from the Tony Blake Forum at www.ablake.net/forum had an attack of the same thing on the same day
Very odd indeed and we need to send our prayers out for Tony’s speedy recovery.
The condition is brought out by stress and lack of rest…. and it gets worse as you get older.
This is the worst attack I’ve had in more than 5 years.
It was very sobering to sit there in the emergency room with tubes sticking out of my veins and about 2 dozen wires hooked to my body.
All the travel lately, stressed out over all the stuff I have to do (and planned to do), combined with the worry over my sister in-law having a heart attack last week just kind of came to a head this past week.
My doctor says no travel for a month and I need to take it very easy (not a bad deal since he said video games are ok)… so I had to cancel a trip to the World Internet Summit LA and a trip to Atlanta.
What made it a little scarier was that we are over here at the new house and didn’t know where the hospital was… but our neighbor hauled us up there lickety split… faster than an ambulance could get to us way out here in the country.
God and I have come to an understanding… I’m gonna work in a less stressed manner and smarter… and I’m gonna stop to smell the roses a little more than I have been.
Anyway… that’s what happened to me this past weekend.
On a happier note… my sister-in-law, Evelyn Kirby, is recovering at home from her heart attack
Thanks everyone for all the prayers and support… it REALLY helped and we’re very grateful.
Have a great week!
Jim
