You just found one. You are listening to the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, with your host Mark Mason, building internet businesses one night at a time. Hello, and welcome back to the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast. I’m your host, Mark Mason. It’s really great to talk to you again. I hope you’ve had a fantastic couple of weeks since the last time we spoke. As usual, I’ve been crazy busy running my day job and playing with internet marketing late at night. That’s why we call it late night internet marketing, because I do it late at night and I really enjoy it. This is the seventh episode, and in the first six episodes we’ve talked about the various methods for making money online. What we’re trying to do is set the foundation for building an internet business by first understanding the different ways that you can start an internet business. Of course, we don’t cover them all, but basically what we’re doing is we’re going through Yanik Silver’s outstanding book called Moonlighting on the Internet, and we’re talking about Jimmy Brown’s outstanding ebook, which is called 10 Ways to Make 10,000 Dollars a Month Online. Both of those are available on MasonWorld.com. The Silver book is available at MasonWorld.com/silver and the Jimmy Brown white paper is available at MasonWorld.com/10ways. So, I’ve been working on a number of things over the last couple weeks. I’ve been getting some sites ready for Christmas, I’ve been participating in Lynn Terry’s outstanding forum, and doing some live case studies over there in the private area of her forum. You can find that over at MasonWorld.com/lynn. I’ve been reading up on all the stuff going on with the FTC. The FTC has come down with some new regulations that have a significant impact, or could have a significant impact on affiliate marketers and bloggers. So, what I thought I’d do today is we’ll go ahead and we’ll cover as planned the next internet business model, and the topic for today of course will be blogging. We’ll talk about how people make money online blogging, talk about that works into the other models. Instead of doing our normal interview with a guru, I wanted to spend some time in the second segment of the show talking about my opinions on this FTC thing,

Episode 006 Transcript This is the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, Episode 6. You want to build a business that you can call your own, but you can’t imagine abandoning the security of your day job. You are confident that you can find a few hours a week to pursue your dreams of creating a business on the internet, but you don’t know where to start. You’re looking for a plan. Congratulations! You just found one. You are listening to the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, with your host Mark Mason, building internet businesses one night at a time. Hello, and welcome back to the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, where we’re talking about how to build internet businesses one night at a time. I’m your host Mark Mason. It’s really great to be back on the microphone. It’s been a couple of weeks since I last spoke to you. Boy, have they been incredibly busy. Before I get into the details about the busyness that’s been going on, I have to tell you thanks so much. You may have heard that this podcast was recently selected as new and notable in the iTunes store in the business section. This is incredibly exciting news for me. What it means is people have been going to iTunes, leaving favorable reviews, thousands of people have downloaded the podcast. I just wanted to say thanks. If you’ve not had a chance to go over to iTunes, or if you don’t normally use iTunes, let me tell you a couple of things. First, iTunes is free software that you can download from Apple.com/itunes. It’s a great way to get the podcast. You can download it that way and play it on your PC, you can also use it to put the podcast on your iPod. Of course, if you have an iPod, you know all about iTunes. Then if you have a copy of iTunes, you can go to MasonWorld.com/itunes and rate the podcast over on iTunes. That’s very helpful to me. If you do that, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you for that very much. It’s a real cool thing to be new and notable in the iTunes store. Now, back to the busyness. I’ve been hard at work on my latest joint venture project. You’ll recall a joint venture is when you partner up with someone that has some skills that you don’t. This works particularly well in internet marketing, because you can choose a joint venture partner that has domain knowledge that you don’t have. You can create an information product, and as the internet marketer in the joint venture, you can be in charge of the marketing, bringing the product to market,

In this episode of the MasonWorld Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, we continue with our series introducing the different ways that you can make money online. Specifically, we take a look at how you can make money with membership sites. We also have a special interview with my very own nephew.  In the interview we talk about his first affiliate marketing site and he reveals what he considers the three most important things that he learned as a new Internet Marketer this summer. When the transcript is available, it will be here. In the podcast, I mention that I have been spending time in Lynn Terry's forum. Our discussion about membership sites revolves around Jimmy D. Browns Membernaire strategy. Key points about membership sites: They can be an important part of your sales funnel There are many different kinds of sites possible Spend time on your eBay copy Important -- Jimmy has a free videocast available where he describes all of this.  If you have any interest at all in creating recurring passive income in this way, you should check it out.   He asks a simple question -- What would it mean to your business if you had 1,000 customers sending you MONTHLY payments for your own membership site? I mentioned that my nephew is creating a press release for his site using the Google Front Page Formula ebook.  I have arranged for a limited time discount for you here -- Google First Page Formula.  I am actually using this very method on a couple of my sites right now.  Note that I gave the wrong link in the audio. I also mention that my nephew is using phpBay on his site.

Welcome to the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast. I’m your host Mark Mason. It’s great to be back on the microphone. I hope you’ve had a fantastic couple of weeks since I talked to you last. I hope they were very productive for you. I know I’ve been incredibly productive over the last couple weeks. In fact, in some ways a little too productive. I tend to get too many tasks going all at the same time. I don’t know if you have that problem. That’s a huge problem for a lot of internet marketers. I was talking to Lynn Terry about this over in her Elite forum the other day. Her theory, she had a post in that forum about this, is that you really need to focus on something, one thing extensively until that thing is finished to really get the maximum productivity. I’m really going to need to look at that a little more carefully. I’ve really been enjoying Lynn’s forum. I spend a lot of time over there. I’ve been getting to know Lynn, she’s great. Some of you saw the video on my blog of Lynn opening up the Elvis bobble head that I sent her. That was kind of fun. If you get a chance to check out Lynn,

Episode 001 Transcript This is the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, Episode 1. You want to build a business that you can call your own, but you can’t imagine abandoning the security of your day job. You are confident that you can find a few hours a week to pursue your dreams of creating a business on the internet, but you don’t know where to start. You’re looking for a plan. Congratulations! You just found one. You are listening to the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, with your host Mark Mason, building internet businesses one night at a time. Hi there. You have successfully found and downloaded or otherwise turned on the very first inaugural episode of the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast. I’m really glad you found me. On this podcast we’ll be talking about why we’re doing the podcast, who the podcast is for, who I am. I’ll talk a little bit about the podcast plan for several episodes. Finally, I’ll talk to you about the three most important things that new internet marketers should know. Who am I? I’m Mark Mason, I’m your host and I’m also the webmaster of MasonWorld.com. I’ll tell you a little bit more about myself in a minute. The first thing I wanted to cover was a little bit about why I’m doing this podcast and what it’s for. When I first started in internet business several years ago, I wanted to learn more about internet business. So, I turned to my mobile University on wheels, my iPod in my car, to try to find some information about internet marketing. I was successful in doing that. I found a fantastic podcast that I still listen to to this day, called Internet Business Mastery. You can find Jay and Sterling over at InternetBusinessMastery.com. Those guys really opened my eyes to the whole issue of lifestyle design on the internet. In fact, they inspired this podcast. That’s a fantastic podcast. There are other podcasts that I really like for different purposes in the area of internet marketing. Internet Marketing This Week is one such podcast. They talk about trends in internet marketing that really address the macroscopic economics. The big stuff that’s going on for internet marketing, the big launches, what the heavy hitters are doing, big trends. Lately, they’ve been talking about issues with the FTC and taxation. They have some cool tech tools that they cover. But, these are kind of heavy hitter topics. While it’s very interesting for new internet marketers, it doesn’t really address this whole issue of how to get started. Then there are other podcasts that I like, SEO rockstars that are highly technical regarding things like SEO. There are other podcasts that deal with the general area of marketing, like Dishy Mix, and other good podcasts like that. Again, they’re not really about making money online with internet marketing. So, there’s this gap for new people that are starting out and how they might get started. That’s gap one that this podcast intends to fill. It’s a new podcast for new internet marketers to try and communicate information about how to get started in internet marketing without actually trying to constantly sell something.
