Old Products Don’t Have To Die
Jun 29th
Have you ever created a product, watched it sell, then watched as it slowly faded away?Over time, a product can lose relevance and sales can dwindle. This is especially true in techy niches, which is where I will be revamping an old product in the next few days. Never fear – your sales don’t have to disappear. You can continue to renew your domain and breathe new life into a product. I’ll talk about that for a few minutes here today.
Around 2 years ago, I created a very popular product in a tech niche. It sold like fire, I made some money, and I ignored it for a while. Affiliates were driving tons of traffic to the page, and they still are today. But the product itself has lost some glitter and glory. It’s a bit outdated. And I was considering ditching the site so I could clean up my portfolio of sites. Terrible idea! Instead, I’ve researched and found everything I need to update the product and give it a brand new face. More >
Thank God For Internet Marketing
Jun 26th
This is going to be a brief post. And the main point has already been expressed in the title. You may have noticed that it’s been a few weeks since my last blog. Why? Because I’ve been vacationing for several weeks and it has been marvelous!
If it weren’t for my Internet marketing efforts, none of this would be possible. My accounts would have dried up multiple times during the trip, bringing it to an early end. But because my websites are so hands off, and money is constantly flowing in, I have been kicking back and relaxing – no work involved!
So thank goodness for this business. Thanks to everybody who has helped me along the way. For the most part, that person is Perry Belcher. He may or may not have realized that he was helping me start a business – but he helped nonetheless. A big “thank you” also has to go to a few people I have never met. Armand Morin and Yanik Silver were two of my biggest idols when I got started. The material I found through them was an amazing help in getting here today.
I hope to continue adding to my portfolio of profitable websites, and I hope to give back in some way to the marketing community. But for now, just a thank you to all those involved.
Enjoying my vacation,
Reuben D. Rock
Product Creation and Skype
Jun 9th
Internet marketing noobs seem to get hung up in one major place: product creation. That doesn’t surprise me. I’ve been doing this for a few years, and I still have trouble in that area from time to time. When I can’t just outsource my product creation, and all the pressure is on ME – what do I do?
Well, I recently started taking advantage of Skypefor creating information products. This is not a new concept or idea. I don’t claim to be the ground-breaking inventor of the Skype product. Not at all! In fact, it’s really just a simple variation on a method that many many other marketers use. For instance, check out Perry Belcher and Ryan Deiss’ free audio:

New Product Is Live – Want To Be An Affiliate?
Jun 5th
I have been working with my buddy Ryan Fine, who is a professional DJ in Knoxville, TN. What we put together is a business startup course that is unmatched. I picked Ryan’s brain for almost 3 hours, recorded the audio, and put together a whole pack of extra materials to help anybody get started in the mobile DJ business.
Why did I want to create this product? Why did I even agree to get involved with it?
Because the mobile DJ business is seriously simple. There was a time, several years ago, when I decided to go into business with Ryan. We were both going to be DJs and we were very excited. Well, the wide world of Internet marketing slapped me in the face and stuffed my wallet full of cash. So I bailed on the DJ business. But Ryan carried on. Now, years later, Ryan is doing very well with his business. Zero help from me, no business background, and just a few pieces of DJ equipment. More >
Lessons From A Beggar
May 6th
Humor me for a minute while I share a quick story with you. And yes – I promise there is a point to this little tale.
Last night, I was out and about taking care of some errands. I needed new floor mats in my car and the Netflix had to get dropped in the mailbox. My tires also needed some air, so I stopped by a gas station down the street from my house. Here is where my story begins.
As I parked my car by the air machine (whatever it’s called), I looked around confused. I wasn’t quite sure where the change machine would be. I knew there had to be a change machine, because these sort of car washes always have one or two. So I’m looking around, and a voice calls out to me. “The change machine is right over here.” It was a guy in shorts and a plain t shirt. He didn’t look homeless, but he didn’t appear well-off by any means. Living in a city like Memphis, you learn that poverty can look just like your friends and family. More >
