Every Wednesday at Noon I do a show called “The Web Success Show”. It’s a free show where I talk about all of the tips, resources and ideas I have floating around in my head based upon my experiences. The point of the show is to help you become more successful online with your business, brand or career. What, you don’t want to be successful?

You can either click here to listen to the podcast, or watch the live stream recording below.

On this week’s show I talk about a new promotional idea a company is using to get my attention and how you can do it too. I also cover how to get testimonials and show you my two biggest, and free/easy, techniques to do so.

Here are some of the links from the show.

Blogging is one of the biggest trends on the internet right now, but a blog can do more than give you an online voice. It can also generate significant revenue for your ebusiness. Joining us today is Jim Kukral, founder of BlogKits.com, to share different ways you can turn your blog into a serious income stream.

It was a huge honor to be on this show for so many reasons. First off, Chris Malta (CEO) and Robin Cowie (President) of Worldwide Brands are amazingly smart people who I admire. Secondly, I am an avid read of Entrepreneur magazine.

If you haven’t heard of WorldwideBrands.com, it’s The Internet’s recognized leader in EBiz Product Sourcing. They connect online sellers with highly qualified wholesale suppliers. They have a great product that I need to blog about soon as well.

I just wrapped my first radio show of 2007, making this the 4th show so far. You can listen to the latest show here on my Blogtalkradio host page.

Not much to tell about today’s show. No callers yet again, but my stats showed at least 10 live listeners. C’mon people, call in and get your free stuff!

A reminder, the show is on every Tuesday at 1pm est. Please call me! hehe.

My radio show goes on for installment #2 today at 1pm est. Hope you can call in and chat with me. The dial in number is (646) 915-9539. Looking forward to hearing from you, and hopefully helping your with a creative, free, marketing idea for your business.

SHOW UPDATE:

My business partner and good friend Dave Potokar (Awesome Dave) called in and co-hosted the show with me today. Dave is a freelance creative gun for hire, visit www.davepotokar.com.

I pimped out my new, relaunched, company called BlogKits.com. If you’re a blogger looking for an alternative to Google Adsense, please check it out.

Dave and I continued the shameless self-promotional messaging by talking more about how we’ve taken our AwesomeMillion.com free for everyone!

Reader Mail: I answered an email from another BlogTalkRadio host about how to market your radio show, and in general get promotion for your brand through MySpace, and more specifically, how difficult it is to market well in MySpace.

We have a caller!: Aaron called in asking about using Google Adwords and his lack of success in getting conversions for his product, which he didn’t mention what it was. I talked about my limited PPC knowledge and offered a few tips and resources for him to look into. Specifically, check out www.betterppc.com and do a search at www.marketingsherpa.com for landing pages and ppc conversion studies. Oh yes, and check out www.landingpagecashmachine.com for landing page advice.

Ok, so my first show went well, I think! 30 minutes goes really, really fast.

Show Notes:

I did a brief introduction of myself and then chatted about Pixelotto, Alex Tew’s new project.

I talked about my project at www.awesomemillion.com.

Then I talked about my brother Ken’s company, International Excess. He wants to start a blog about the insurance industry, so I gave my tips that I forwarded on to him.

I did have one caller today, which was Greg from www.seethewall.com. We chatted about his project and and Pixelotto.

That’s about it, it goes fast. Hopefully next week we’ll have more callers.

I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the new Pixelotto idea in action, I think it’s going be another home run. The site went live this morning.

Here’s why it’s better/different. Because he’s giving away 1 Million bucks to someone (the ad clickers, not the ad buyers), and all they have to do is click on the ads. You max out at 10 entries per day. I clicked on 10 ads today and it took me less than a minute. So assuming the site sells out in 6 months, it works out as follows.

Time invested per day: 1 minute x
6 Months = Approximately 180 days
= 180 minutes of time spent for a chance at 1 million dollars

So that’s 3 hours of my time invested over the next 6 months for a chance at a million bucks. That’s a way better investment than the lottery.

I’ll be talking about this on my radio show today at 1pm, EST. Tune in! Specifically, I want to cover why this is going to work, and that is because of hype, and more importantly, value.
