Profit Pulling Project Newsletter Feedback
Well the launch of the premier edition of the Profit Pulling Project nearly went to perfection. Must say it was a bit of a relief as I was sweating a bit when I pressed the launch button on my little baby! If it wasn’t for the ‘data center’ issue on one of the hubs on the internet there would have been no problems at all. I’ll send a broadcast message out later today, for those who want to continue to blast their re-brandable versions of the ebook out to their own lists.
A sincere thanks to all of you that all played a part in getting this ‘out there’. In fact, while I was working away furiously in my little bunker getting everything ready I was really oblivious to what was going on elsewhere. I was overwhelmed when I caught up with what has been going on out there on your blogs posting about little old me and the newsletter in such glowing terms. My sincerest gratitude goes out to you all. Thank you all.
Alex Jeffreys went on about traffic generation was the key to building your lists on last night’s Module 4 webinar. Wasn’t it cool and … long (6 hours!!) . To give you an idea of how well we are getting our message out beyond just the Alex Jeffreys students, l have something amazing to tell you. Do you know the promotional videos Nigel Yip created for the launch. We only put them on the web about 3 or 4 days ago and already they have been embedded on over 1,000 (yes ONE THOUSAND) sites across the world. Now I make it we probably have in the region of 200-250 active student blogs so the extra 750 sites or so are ‘new recruits’ to our growing community. We are really getting out names out there. And that’s not including the 1,000’s the newsletter has already been confirmed as circulated to. It’s mind-blowing all this and we are only on issue one. Where will we be in a few weeks/months time?
Right, that gets me to future issues of the Profit Pulling Project. I am already working on the next issues. If you would like to contribute can you put a comment on here and put *** OFFER TO CONTRIBUTE **** at the head of it. I’m already working through my emails of those who have offered to contribute already and I will be contact you over the next couple of days.
Secondly, looking around the sites there are 100’s upon 100’s of people saying how much they have loved they first edition. I’d like to start using some of these as testimonials on a special feature page promoting the newsletter. You know the sort of thing, a really professional looking sales-type page promoting the newsletter with peoples comment with a direct link back to their own websites. Could also include a little picture of you or a your website so they can click through to you. In your comments add *** TESTIMONIAL *** to the head and I will take this as you giving permission to use it. Link to it from your site if you like as well so give extra confirmation and authorisation to use it.
Oh, as a final thing. Any students out there who haven’t got there blogs and/or PPPs up and running need to get a move on. There’s no excuse for you after so long now. There’s offers of help by many students. You can sign up on my Hosting page if you want and I will do everything for you. When I’ve got everything together I can turn then around in about 15 minutes now.

sorry you’re having such problems with your blog.
read my comment (39) As wih all things good support is worth $$$,$$$,$$$
Hi Garry,
Where are you getting your graphics for the list building and your newsletter? I looked in the members area on Alex’ site but don’t see any graphics?
BTW, thanks to you and Gary S. for giving a thumbs up to my testimonial. And I can fully appreciate the financial situation, my friend! But we’ll have that beer together someday.

Hi Debbie,
The graphics for my newsletter I had created and if you want to use them to promote it then you can download them from the Newsletter Members’ Area. As for Alex’s not sure if he has them in his members’ area. You got some as part of the PPP download we all got from him. Any others you see around will just have been edited from those original ones. Any images you see on a website you can just right-click on and ’save picture as’ to get it to your desktop though.
*** OFFER TO CONTRIBUTE ****
Whatever it is , Garry, I’m in!
Great work!

Hi Gary,
Please add me to the list of Alex Jeffreys Students.
Thanks,
Bob Allison
Hi Bob, I just popped over to your blog to take a look. Neat layput. Anyway I coulldn’t leave a comment as it said I had to be logged in then when I tried it said my server wouldn’t accept this. So that’s a poblem I need to sort out but it’s worth mentioning that when somebody else had a login required for comments it was generally felt that this was a bad idea as it put people off commenting.
Keep up the good work
Kath
Hi Garry,
Wow, what a site you have developed! Alex was right to feature you on the webinar, you are just full of information and ideas. Very inspirational. I would love to contribute to the newsletter…I’ll just have to think of what I want to do!
Sarah
Hi Garry,
Congrats on the first issue you certainly pulled it off. Great stuff.
Alex suggested to me that I should come to ask for some help. If that’s alright with you?
I need some help to sort out my blog. I can’t find out how to get into admin to install analytics. And I also need to install an opt-in box for the free e book. And get a general overview of the site to see what I need to do to improve it.
Hope to hear from you soon Garry. All the best Alan.
Mornin’ Gazza. Well it is over here in Oz anyway. I guess I should say “evenin’” to you over there in the UK.
Just a couple of things I have read above:
@Debs (#52) - you are most welcome. That was well done.
@Kath (#56) - AMEN! Why don’t people switch off that MASSIVE impediment to the rest of us for leaving comments. There is no way I am gonna log-in to leave any comment. And I’m over it BIG TIME with those blasted “security codes” too. Some of them I have had my nose on the screen trying to figure them out and got them wrong 3 times. As soon as I see them now I just X away. I don’t have time for any of that anymore.
@Alan (#58) - Alan, have you downloaded Dean Holland’s e-book? I think that will answer your problem.
Just another reminder - I am NOT Garry Parkes and Gary Parkes is NOT me. I have had so many emails confusing the two of us. If you want to see what my head looks like then zip over to Gary-Land. I spent half the day yesterday doing something for myself - I prettied up my Lada-Niva site a bit. Now it is a Volkswagon (one of the OLD beetle types) Next week I hope to have something more like a Porsche - LOL!
And Gazza - thanks for all the help you are giving me too mate.
Regards

Hi Gary,
Youe website is looking good. I started on Twitter after the Thursday webinar and I now have followed 630 people. So far Twitter has not banned me. I will continue getting Twitter followers this weekend until I at least reach 1000. I am interested to know what type of posts people are putting on Twitter to get people to visit their websites.
I have posted several Tweets with a reference to the free “List Building With Alex” ebook. It is not possible to know how many people
have visited the link because I do not have Google Analytics set up for it yet. I do have Analytics set up for my blog and see that I have 21 visitors as of tonight.
I am one of AJ’s students and believe my blog qualifies to be listed.
Please add me to the blog roll.
Thanks,
Hi Gary,
I have been also very busy locked in my bunker, lost a touch with the rest of you.
Regarding your testimonials page, I had similar idea which I wrote on my post couple of days ago
http://www.gordanbos.com/?p=94
If you have 5 min pls have a look and tell me what you think and whether I should go forward with it. I personally think is good promotinal idea maybe for the later stages of our relationship with Alex. Cheers Garry and thanks for everything.

Hi Garry
If you send me a 50 x 50 mug shot, I’ll add it to my student list. Same goes for all other students. Just send your name, URL and mugshot to h@webby.com. Feel free to harvest source of the student list, or pull it into your blog.
Have FUN
DearWebby
Hey Garry
How you doing my friend? Haven’t spoken to you for a few days,anyway, my point of call is that I’ll send you that article later tonight after I’ve re-read it and thinks it’s up to scratch and up to your standards. You don’t have to use it if you feel it isn’t right.
All the best
Nigel
Hi Nigel,
Just posted on your site about 15 mins ago and sent you an email that I was a compiling. Great minds think a like and all that .. lol
Morning Guys,
Hope everyone is well. I’m focusing on traffic generation techniques today and also getting things sorted for next edition of newsletter.
I’ll pick up and comments, questions etc. later.
Oh, I’m still getting emails direct for support after the numerous times I have mentioned this!!! How many times do I have to say it?
If it’s worth asking then it’s worth posting as a comment on the blogs so the answers can be contributed to by all, read by all and of benefit to all rather than just one individual. Come on you guys that are doing it - think how you can contribute to the greater good of the community rather than just make a gain for yourself. Your contribution is asking the question which will benefit all. There is a time and place for emails, but NOT for direct specific support type requests where the answers have an obvious benefit for everyone.
Anyway popping out now and taking my son to playing his football this morning. I’ll pop by later
Gazza,
“Football?” You mean soccer? Not Aussie Rules.
My “Time-in-Motion” ACTION PLANNER went live a few hours ago. I got all the links sorted out - eventually. Wait till I tell you about the dramas I had. In fact, I still have ONE minor one but the former Project X is now up and operational. And it is FREE to all Alex Jeffrey’s students. I ain’t waiting for it to be perfect. Just moving on.

Hi Garry,
Brilliant work on your first newsletter, well done matey!
I have to say it is very well written and broken down into the basics of getting a blog up and running that any newbie would understand. I like the fact that as well as putting the technical data necessary to get a blog up and running you also put an article by Gary Simpson about getting motivated and having the right frame of mind when internet marketing.
That is a great idea since keeping motivated is one of the main things necessary to stick in this business - so keep it up with your future news letters.
I personally liked the article by JT Martin about the RSS feed since I haven’t got that on my blog yet. It was easy to understand and I’d like to comment on one thing that perhaps you could do on your next newsletter and that’s to make sure that the links you attach to the newsletter actually take you to the page you mention, for example JT Martin’s link to the feedburner video doesn’t take you straight to that particular page but to his general blog.
Just a thought but apart from that excellent work all round matey, well done once again.
Guy
Hey Garry,
have rebranded your book and would like to set up a page similar to the one you have at http://garryparkes.com/profitpullingproject/ so that I can send it to my list. What’s the easiest way to do this?

Morning everyone,
First comment of the day before I put up a post up about what I’m doing for Traffic Generation competition to get Alex Jeffreys’s $1,000 prize money. And I tell you it will SHOCK YOU - a big surprise and very, very good news for you
Talking about Alex himself, notice he left a comment overnight. Thanks Alex, - internet famous - future guru, lol, who would have thought just a few weeks ago people would be saying that about me???? All a little premature and said in jest at the moment, but hey, what as happened to date in a very short-space of time is quite staggering. It gives me the motivation to go further, think bigger and dream big.
>Gary - No it’s not soccer, its football!! Aussie Rules; never did get into when I lived in Oz - just saw it as one big excuse for a fight at times, lol. Now I know you Aussies love the game but then again you’re not gonna win any prizes for playing football (round ball variety) are you? Then again thinking about it neither are England - doh!
>Guy - Glad you thought the Newsletter was “Brilliant”. Taken on-board what you said about the links and we’ll aim to do that in future issues.
>Paul - “Fantastic” - thanks. It looks as though it achieved its objective of helping newbies (more for them in the next issue) plus stuff for advanced people as well. Looks like my tally of beers that people are going to buy me is going up!!
>Paul/Gary - hugs and kisses, hmmm Glad to see everyone getting on so well on the blog. Seem like nice boys ;-0
Anyway, I’ll get that post up in a couple of hours about what I am doing with Traffic Generation and why it will be EXCEPTIONALLY good news for you all. No kidding … pop back later.
Hi Ann,
Easiest (only?) way to do this is you need to upload your rebranded newsletter up to your webspace in very similar fashion to what Alex talked you through on the videos about loading up your PPP using Filezilla.
I would create a new directory called ‘newsletter’ off your root directory and have a HTML page loaded there with a link to your ebook. To can copy my page as a basis for what you need to do and just modifidy it for your site.
Over the weekend the other Gary over at Gary-land (http://motivationselfesteem.com/talk/) quietly released his Project-X ebook.
Now if you are one of the ones struggling to know where to go, what to do, when to do it, then Project-X is for you. Got my copy on my desk now.
Now Gary has been doing phenomenal work for the students in the group, so get on over there and support him. You won’t regret it and guess what it will actually be of great benefit to you too!
Howdy Garry,
Hey dude! That was nice of you to say that. I wouldn’t say I released it QUIETLY. I had trumpets and marching girls and drummers and a big red sign at the top of my home page saying GET THIS!
I have had about 15 downloads of the book in just over 24 hours and some very nice emails BUT… I would prefer it if people said all those nice things on the blogsite because:
1 - you get a linkback and
2 - why keep your comments a secret? (unless, of course, you think the book is shite and then you can email me and I’ll send Bad Gary over the ether to have a chat to you - LOL!)
Er, there is a 3rd reason too… it makes me feel good. But enough about that…
Seriously, I gotta thank Gazza Parkes a fair bit here too coz he cannibalised his upload page for me and whizzed it over and doofus me didn’t put it in the “root” of the webpage. I was sitting there wondering what I had done wrong and then Gazza told me. When I realised how dopey I’d been I just went DOH! After all, my surname is Simpson - OK, I know… I have just left myself wide open for all sorts of Homer and Bart jokes.
Anyway, come on over and get your Christmas present AND, if you want - IF you LIKE it - you can shoot the downloaded pdf off to as many of your friends as you want. I don’t care. All I ask is that you don’t change anything.
Let’s get this e-book out to everyone who wants to set a goal for 2009 and achieve something. Give a copy to everyone at your work if you want. It’s open slather.
Merry Christmas to you all - ho…ho…ho!

Garry,
Been working away in my lone eagle’s nest, trying to save money by doing everything myself - i.e., the hard way - so I haven’t participated in the blogs as I should. I expect to amend that in a day or two, and would very much like to contribute to a future newsletter.
Any chance you (or someone reading this) can tell me how to make your newsletter automatically go out to those who sign up for it? I’ve rebranded it and am about to put the first one up on my site, but am not sure how I get future issues out to subscribers. I’m sure Aweber plays a part, but how…?
Thanks for the help. I’m amazed at all you do, Garry! All us Alex students appreciate it immensely!
Merry Christmas!

Hey Gary
Haven’t been around as much as I would like becuase of a virus that struck the family, but I am back
I am more than happy to contribute to future newsletter editions. We are article marketers, niche site creators, niche affiliate marketers, link builders and a few other things
So if you need anything on the above I will be more than happy to contribute.
Plus, we have just hired a full time VA freeing up time to work on the business rather than in it!
To your success

Hey Garry,

Good morning. It had only one fault. It was kind of lousy.
I am from Spain and bad know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: “No travel serving the foreign community in japan for over years, dealing with international discounted airticket, accomodations, and variety of travel.”
With love :-(, Tao.
Good evening. If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.
I am from Pakistan and learning to write in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “Get the best airfare and flight deals on economy, business and first class, choose one way or return trips on domestic.”
Nice site! Thanks for the great post?ffff85.%d%a%d%a%d%aPeople should read this.
