I just got back from speaking at a class at the National Hypnosis Convention held in Marlboro Mass. I was asked to talk about to generate traffic to a web site. The class was for hypnotists who wanted to specialize in weight loss, and their goal is to get more customers into their local offices.

No problem, I suggested testing some Google ads geo targeted for their area then, when they find some targeted key words that they can convert to customers start doing some SEO on those words to generate free traffic.

Pretty basic, right?

The class had about 30 people in it, so I asked a few opening questions

1. How many have web sites?
   Just about all said yes, or were in the process of setting one up.
2. How many use Google Adwords now?
   2 hands go up.
3. How many have done any Search Engine Optimization?
   No hands.

When you work with this stuff daily, you just assume that everyone else is doing pay per click and optimizing their sites for their targeted key words. It really is an eye opener when you see what is happening in the “real world”. I only go to seminars where people know more (alot more) than I do. Rarely do I see a room full of people who want to pick my brain.

I am not bragging on how much I know, believe me. My point is just about every one of these people in this class was dying for details on how to do pay per click and some search engine optimization.

So, where do they go to get information on just how to do this? That was one one of  the questions I got, and I could not answer it. There are so many fly by night “SEO Guru’s” out there I really could not tell them where to turn, especially for the basics… SEO 101 per say.

I gave them the latest PDF I’ve put together called SEO Made Easy on exactly how I get my sites on the first page of Google, you do need to know some web basics to implement it. I hope it helps.

I was a member of Stomper net for an entire year. I must admit, nowhere on the internet are you going to find as much information about search engine optimization and making money with your web site.

The most important thing about Stomper is these guys (Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins) really do what they say and make money selling physical products online. This is very unique this day and age in the “online guru” marketplace. Most gurus now sell products to wannabees, they don’t actually sell products to the general public.

But, is it worth it? That’s the real question…

Stomper costs $797 a month for a full membership. I understand now that they offer some reduced price “limited” memberships also, but these are limited to the scope of the content you can have access to.

In my opinion, if you are new to internet sales and marketing, Stompernet is way beyond what you need to get started. In fact, the content is so vast inside Stompernet, I think you will really get lost and not know where to begin once you join.

On the other hand, if you currently have a web site that is successful selling products or services and you want to take it to the next level… then Stompernet may be able to help.

As a general rule, if the $797 impacts the bottom line of your current online business, then Stompernet is probably not a good idea for you.
More to come on this in the future…
