It has been over three weeks since my last post and I wanted to give a very quick update on things that are going on with me lately.

1. I just got back from Houston, TX where I learned about a strategy for investing in real estate that will change the way I do things around here dramatically. It is actually a proprietary system developed by a 25 year investing veteran who does 3-5 deals per month averaging about $10k to $15k per deal. And he does it without using his own money or credit and through realtors and mortgage brokers all above board and fully disclosed to all parties. And he takes it easy too. Pretty cool. So, I will be working on that. I’ll keep you posted.

2. Consolidated Solutions Group continues to take off like gangbusters. I am working on putting more tools together for my team to help them as I start to add their services into my business model as well. I now have 2,874 members in my group, which really blows me away considering i only have 77 personally sponsored. It goes to show that it is not about quantity when building a team, it is about quality. You could have 50 people on a baseball team, but if they all sucked, they would lose every game. I’d take 9 good players any day.

3. I joined Rich Schefren’s Business Growth Systems coaching program last month and absolutely love it so far. This guy is the cat’s meow when it comes to running a business. I wish I could spend a month going through all his materials but there is just so much knowledge pouring out I can’t keep up.

Here out up a special page called “The Vault” where all of his FREE materials ae posted. Here is the link if you haven’t been there yet.

I guess the only compaint I could have is that there is so much to take in that it gets overwhelming. His videos are awesome but they are like 2 hrs long each!

I need to get back to work. Make it a great day!

I was doing some research for one of my niche sites (fireplace doors, screens, tools & accessories) and came across a company called NetShops. They have like 50 specialty niche stores that sell a wide range of products. I was amazed at the domain names they own. I am going to test them out immediately to see how they convert my traffic. The first niche site I’m going to link to them is http://www.centuryfireplace.com/ which currently just offers up Adsense ads. It gets about 430 pageviews per month and does pretty well with adsense but I’m looking to expand things a little to generate more income.

NetShops requires approval so follow this link to their site and apply as an affiliate. They do review each website before allowing you to become an affiliate so get it setup first. I think they are worth it from the look of their niche sites and their affiliate back office. They use DirectTrack for their affiliate management software which is a very nice product as well.
