In my previous post, Jeff Mills says, “Don’t build your MLM using Internet Marketing!” we had about 25 people comment about my video and about my stance on this great industry.

I have a part 2 which I want to play for you now which is a continuation of my philosophy and then I’ll have some instructions on what we are going to be doing next.

To get more information, make sure you sign up for my free webinar which I am doing on Saturday, at 2:00 pm EST/ 1:00 pm CST / noon MST / 11:00 am PST. 

I am teaching people warm market recruiting only for 90 days before they even begin to learn how to do any online marketing.

Pass it on, help out and be the solution for those in need! Enjoy the holiday hope and Merry Christmas Message.

(CNN) — A family facing foreclosure is anything but a unique story in these troubled economic times.

Daniel and Ebony Sampson with their children. “It’s a personal miracle,” she says of how their home was saved.

But this is a happier story of one family whose financial ruin was averted by the actions of a friend, the compassion of strangers, the networking power of the Internet and the holiday spirit of giving.

“This is our Christmas story,” said Ebony Sampson. “It’s going to be told for generations and generations to come.”

Sampson, who lives in Aberdeen, Maryland, with her husband, Daniel, and their two young children, has overcome more hardship than one person should ever have to face. When she was in the 10th grade, she lost her entire family in a horrific car accident. Raised by a grandmother in New York, Ebony eventually used some life-insurance money from her parents’ death to buy the home in Aberdeen, near where she grew up.

But in June, Daniel got sick. After several tests, his doctors concluded that he was suffering from salmonella after eating a tainted tomato. As a new employee of Bank of America, he had not accrued enough paid time off to keep his job as a credit-card account manager.

Suddenly, the sole breadwinner in the Sampson household was out of work. Though the Sampsons received unemployment checks from the government, the money wasn’t enough to make ends meet.

First came the shut-off notices from the electric company. Then one of their cars broke down. One morning, Daniel woke up and looked out his bedroom window and saw his truck was missing. It had been repossessed.

With no job, no car and no income, the Sampsons got another surprise: Ebony Sampson learned she was eight weeks pregnant.

The Sampsons returned home from church, where they are practicing ministers, on a Sunday in November to find a stranger knocking on their front door. He wanted to put a bid in on their house. Ebony told him their home was not for sale. The next day, the Sampsons were notified that they were facing foreclosure unless they could come up with $10,000 in the next two weeks to bring their mortgage up to date.

“Once we received that letter, it was like, ‘Oh my God, what are we going to do?’ ” Daniel Sampson said. “I don’t think anyone in their right mind would receive a foreclosure notice and not be rattled by it.”

Somehow, the couple maintained their sense of humor. Ebony Sampson called one of her oldest friends, Jaki Grier, and jokingly asked her if she had $10,000. Jaki told her, “Sure, just let me open up my invisible purse!”

But then Grier got an idea.

A self-described geek, Grier started blogging years ago. Since then, she’s contributed to a magazine’s Web site and regularly posts thoughts and life happenings on her LiveJournal page. So, she published Ebony and Daniel’s story, along with a link where people could make a donation.

At the most, Jaki thought she could raise enough money to help the Sampsons pay a security deposit on an apartment after their home was auctioned.

But donations started pouring in. Within 24 hours, Grier’s blog had raised $1,000, far exceeding her expectations. People started linking to Grier’s blog from sites across the Internet and around the country.

Attorneys posted legal advice. Others in similar situations offered sympathy. One woman sent a donation with a note that said she had just lost her own home but wanted to help anyway. Another woman wrote that she didn’t have a car but would walk to her grocery store with a jar of change and donate it to the cause.

Yet another e-mail came from a woman who was unemployed, with no job prospects. She donated a dollar.

With every donation, the total raised ticked higher and higher on Grier’s blog.

“Everybody wants to give to a charity, but so many times when you give to a charity you don’t really see where your money goes,” Grier said. “At least with this, you saw the little [donations] ticker go. I think that made people excited.”

Four days after Grier’s blog post, she had raised $3,400 — enough to repair the Sampsons’ car. That night, Grier went to bed ecstatic. The next morning she checked her PayPal account and was stunned to find the balance had ballooned to $10,900.

In the time it took Grier to take the donation link down from her blog, the balance had reached $11,032. In just five days, she had raised enough money to save her friend’s home. A Baltimore TV station, WBAL, caught wind of the story and put it on the air. Someone contacted Daniel Sampson and offered him a job interview.

“It’s been overwhelming,” Daniel Sampson said. “For me, out of all the donations [we] received, it was a little kid [who] came knocking on the door early Saturday morning … with a five-dollar bill in his hand. He just came up to the door and said, ‘Here you go, mister.’ Then he just walked away. I was, like, speechless. He couldn’t have been more than 8 years old.”

Now Daniel and Ebony Sampson will be able to enjoy Christmas much more than they thought they would just a few weeks ago. They say that once their children are grown, they’ll tell them the story of how one holiday season they came within days of losing their house. They’ll spend this Christmas full of thanks.

“It doesn’t seem real to me, and so I just thank everyone out there that cares,” Ebony Sampson said. “There really was no hope for us. Then, out of nowhere, just the kindness of strangers, just people that came and, you know, provided for us. Jaki was our beacon of light that led them to us.

“It’s a personal blessing. It’s a personal miracle. It makes you understand what the season is all about.”

Animoto mixes pictures and music together and creates a nice mash, in minutes. It’s free to use and you can embed the video on your website, blog, myspace, facebook page, and basically anywhere one can put an html tag.

So, I just made an Animoto video for the upcoming Canada Marketing Summit, in the post below, and I also just made a new video for the landing page on my www.WhoisJeffMills.com page as well.

One thing is… I cannot get this rad song outa my head that I put in the mix. It’s kind of a U2 Meets the Cult meets the Grapes of Wrath (Canadian Rock Band from the 90′s) song, that just makes me FEEL GOOD listening to it. It’s by a band called Pure Dream Ladder and the song is “One More Day.”

Animoto has a sizable music license so you can play all these really cool songs in your video, with no permission needed and no music purchases needed, so that’s a nice savings feature and it gets the bands names out there too, cause they get a song credit automatically embedded into the video at the end. The music license does not really include many main stream signed bands, but that’s ok, there is enough emotional driven music in their catalog where you can find a song to fit any theme or range you want to push through your picture/video composition.

It’s amazing how you can take a cold and clean website, and add images and a song to it and how much life it instantly creates.

How are you doing in this area? Are your websites cold? Boring? Lifeless?

When I had my Midwest Super Conference, Bob Dale from Dalestudios in Eden Prairie, MN shot some fun shots of me and Izzy, my daughter just “kooking out”. We posed, kissed, smiled, did Karate Ninja poses and just had a fun time, letting it all hang out and cutting loose.

Other pictures were from Eric Farewell, from Blue Shoe Photography, out of Laguna Beach, CA.

You’ll see some of these new photos crop up over my sites in the weeks and months, as it makes me more human, than the suited fuddy duddy I was wearing before.

People told me I looked too professional and old wearing the suit… YIKES!

So, I went striped down, fun, casual and will be modifying my sites over time with the new pictures.

So, I want to know what you think of the new Who Is Jeff Mills page design. Here is a picture of the site, you gotta go there and experience the video. No optin required to just watch and listen, then come back here and post your comments.

Members tuned in from over 11 countries to watch the days proceedings and teachings where they heard from Jeff Mills, Lori Palm and Karen Lund, and John Jonas.

The focus on day one was to lay out the foundations for why a busy internet entrepreneur should be outsourcing their online business tasks.

Lori Palm and Karen Lund focused on the topic of Core Passion, where the entrepreneur first must discover what drives them and what makes them tick before they can outsource. Once they come to terms with who they are, and how they are wired, they can outsource the tasks and things that they do not have passion or skills at.

John Jonas wowed the crowd with his many revelations of working 1 hr per week or 17 hours per week, and in one 3 week period, where John was forced to take care of his family, due to his wife's forced pregnancy bedrest, john worked 1 hr a week to check email, while his full time Filipino outsourcer ran his business for him producing over $800,000 in sales.

These are the people and stories behind day one of the Outsource Workshop in Minneapolis, MN.

Day two is quickly approaching with new topics and systematic teaching on how to replace yourself and work less and make more money.

Speaking on Sunday is Dave Aron or "deal Dave" as he's known, Henry Griner, who is Jeff's personal project manager, and Jeff Mills will be leading to working sessions with the students in the room to get people to see the wonderful advantages of outsourcing internet marketing tasks.

People can still log in right now, and watch our outsourcing workshop live stream and the previous days live stream coverage archived online. 

If you'd love to see how people are making money online and working less by getting people to do all the lead generation for them, you need to check out the feed, and you can watch it right from your home.

Outsourcing is hot! Check out these testimonials from people who attended my live seminars by visiting my website for details.

You can scroll down to the bottom of my site and click on the link to get the live stream.

So, check out the details now, don't miss this opportunity to get hooked up with powerful outsourcing data now that you can view the seminar over the web.

He’s hosting a brand new workshop – the Outsource Secrets Revealed Workshop, which takes place November 8 and 9, 2008 in Bloomington, MN at the Cambria Suites, near the Mall of America.

Jeff wants each and every person who owns a small business or is thinking of working from home to see the advantages of using and tapping into the worldwide outsourcing resources readily available on the web.

“I first heard about the concept of using Outsourcers from one of my online marketing mentors back in 2004, who was making millions per year. I asked him how he worked so little, launched multiple products per year, and still had enough free time and he told me it was because he ‘Outsourced’ all his projects through internet vendors that he was able to live with sanity, work less and still increase his revenues!” said Mills.

Since that conversation in 2004, Jeff has mastered the online outsourcing phenomenon and seen his business hit 7 figures, all while working from a tiny closet office in his Cottage Grove, MN home.

Jeff Mills has quickly become the “Napoleon Hills of Outsourcing” as some of his clients call him, due to the fact that Jeff has interviewed over 30 different successful internet marketers who all claim their fortunes and lifestyles come not from all the products they sell, but from the advantages they found by hiring independent contractors to get jobs done for them that pay $2-$4 per hour!

Earlier this year, Jeff released this flagship product called, Outsource Secrets Revealed, a 15 disc volume where he interviewed on live webinars the top internet marketers in the world and somehow got them all to share their secret resources and techniques for how they outsource and work less, while making more money. His product has gone on to sell over 6 figures, and has spawned sub products like a monthly Outsourcing Coaching program, a free 70 page eBook called the Outsource Compendium, and now his Outsourcing Workshops, which Mills holds every 3 months in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.

“My outsourcing tools provide busy entrepreneurs and small business owners with the knowledge and know-how to actually increase their sales and to increase the money that they are bringing in – simply by knowing the basics of where to find good people and how to get tasks done cheaper and faster at the same time. People want blogs built, websites coded, software designed, social media profiles created, videos produced and sent to video hosting site, articles written and submitted and all that takes time and effort. We show people how to get others doing that work at ridiculously low fees,” said Mills.

By attending Jeff Mills’ new Outsource Secrets Revealed Workshop, a person can learn how to take what they’ve already got and help their business to grow in ways that they would never have dreamed of before.

The Outsource Workshop is a way for business owners or for those who want to work at home to figure out what they’re doing right, and to do more of it, as well as figure out what they could be doing differently, and then make the changes that are necessary in order to achieve their goals, by outsourcing where it makes sense.

The Outsourcing Secrets Revealed Workshop will have a number of excellent speakers presenting.

• John Jonas will be talking about hiring service providers from the Philippines.
• Lori Palm and Karen Lund will share insights about discovering what your core passions are so you can focus in on what you are best at and then learn how to outsource the rest!
• Henry Griner will be sharing how to outsource by hiring a project manager to oversee your tasks and where to find good people all over the world who are skilled and excellent in internet marketing.
• Dave Aron will be sharing tips and tricks he’s found for finding good virtual assistants.
• And Jeff Mills will be speaking about putting the whole Virtual team concept together and how a solo entrepreneur or small business owner can begin outsourcing by setting up proper structures and systems inside the business. Anyone who wishes to be able to maximize their own potential, and the potential of the business that they currently have is invited to attend the Outsource Workshop but seats are extremely limited.

Finding the top ClickBank products is essential to make your affiliate marketing plan a success. A number of people have complained about losing out on ClickBank and not making any money from it. The reason for this is simple- they haven’t been promoting the best-selling ClickBank products. If you don’t have a hold in the best ClickBank niches, there’s absolutely no way you’ll earn any profits.

You can easily find the top ClickBank products on ClickBank itself- just go to a category you like and select a product. You’ll notice that each selection has a set of figures with it- the one called ‘gravity’ relates to the popularity of the product. The best-selling ClickBank products usually have a high gravity reading. But that doesn’t always mean they are the best products to promote.

Top ClickBank products with good potential should have a gravity rating between 10 and 60. Naturally, many people think that the higher the popularity rating, the better the product. After all, that means a lot of people want to buy it, right? This may be true but consider this simple scenario. If you run the only candy store in the street, you’ll probably make good money. If you run a candy store in a mall filled with candy stores, your business scenario changes considerably.

Remember that the best ClickBank niches aren’t necessarily the most popular ones. This is due to something known as market saturation- if a market already has a number of affiliates in it, then it will be that much harder for you to make a sale. Top ClickBank products in areas like business and health are pretty difficult to crack. Instead of focussing on winning business strategies, you’ll be spending your time trying to stay afloat in a crowded swimming pool.

The secret to snagging the top ClickBank products is to find something, which has a demand that exceeds the supply. You can do this with a bit of keyword and key phrase research on the search engines. The best-selling Clickbank products are also those whose market hasn’t become saturated yet- this means there is ample room for you to start a marketing campaign that will bring in the traffic. These are usually markets, which rank near the top, but a number of affiliate marketers don’t see them because they are too busy looking at the number one products.

The best ClickBank niches are not the ones at the very top- they are the ones that are near the top. You’ll find that these actually hold the top ClickBank products and will bring in most profits.

Go here to get their complete story, go here: Illuminate 2008

My event, the Midwest Super Conference was a big hit for all the attendees in many ways and I wanted to share some reflections from the feedback and speak some future happenings into existence.

First of all… All our speakers were excellent and over delivered, plus… stayed and networked with our attendees. While a few had to bail out for other commitments, what we love is hooking people up so they can make those solid business joint ventures happen and the faculty this year gave great value back to all.

The hotel we used, was just ok. While it did service our needs ok, I think next time, I’ll opt for a little bit more formal and a touch of better service. Our biggest complaint was, we are an internet marketing conference, and the internet feed from the hotel was a shared feed… not a dedicated one, so it was hard to get a solid push up to do the live streaming we offered this year. We shared a T1 line with the entire hotel, offices, guest rooms, and banquet rooms!

But, regardless of the streaming hurdles, those that did get a chance to come on the live stream really did enjoy it, I got a ton of great feedback and emails from people who were stoked to get access for such a low price.

Speaking of the Live Stream Enhanced experience, we are letting people log in now until October 4, to view our streams as they were recorded. You’ll also see the low priced continuing education offers that our speakers made at the event, and you’ll even be able to tap into those special offers if you act before October 4, or you’ll pay full price getting them all later.

I remember Armand Morin talking about how it took him 3 seminars to get himself into the “right” profit zone he wanted, after doing two seminars. I guess I am following in my mentor’s footsteps as I have done the same thing. While Seminar 1 was not profitable, seminar 2 broke even barely and seminar 3 was a great boost.

It came by cutting expenses and not overspending on stuff that I thought I needed. For example, last year, I did lunches AND dinners. This year, I just did Dinners.

What I’ll change next year is I’ll just do 3 lunches and I’ll do an evening networking party the first night to get people hanging out and networking.

I’ll also do a live stream next year, but I usually won’t announce this officially until the last week of the conference. The reason is, I want people there live, as that is where the biggest benefits are for people. But I also know the people who could not make it really enjoyed the content and the chat room, just chillin with people there.

So, what gonna happen in 2009?

I am planning on doing another Midwest Super Conference in the Fall of 2009 and then in 2010, I want to do the big daddy of them all… The Internet Marketers United Charity Seminar, where it’s like a week long gala event/expo with a ton of people coming together for exposition, many internet marketing industries, fundraising golf tournament, and 4 days of speakers with about 16 speakers total. But that’s a hard one to put together as, I need a seminar event planner to handle this one, it’s gonna be a major deal to pull off and needs major support by all the IM marketers to come and just make it a big party.

The goal of internet marketers united is to bring the whole industry together for a charitable cause. I have a dream of building a $10 million dollar lakefront retreat center on a beautiful lake front in Minnesota for High School kids to come to a super entrepreneur’s camp for 2 weeks of their summer.  We’d do 6 sessions total, in the summer, and bring in the top internet marketers from all over the world to teach educated and excelled high school kids to become wealthy young internet entrepreneurs. Imagine how valuable these kids will be to corporations or for the future of how the internet works and how people come together and use the internet in the future!

This will become the premier learning center for these kids to balance classroom learning and then take the knowledge and develop team building activites to implement the lessons learned and be making money before their two weeks are over. Then end the 2 week event with a Gala dinner where the kids show off their warez to their parnents and supporters on what they learned.

Cool idea eh? I need the Entire Internet Marketing community supporting this endeavor, as I want to make it a reality by 2012 and running by then.

After the summer sessions, we’d open the retreat facility up to corporations, churches and Scrapbookers to use for meetings and events throughout the year.

So, what’s next for me in the seminar marketing circuit?

I’ll be speaking at Alejandro Reye’s Illuminate Conference in San Francisco in a few weeks. Alejandro’s a social marketing rock star and is doing one of the first Christian internet marketing conferences around. Maybe you’ll come out to meet me and hear all the speakers there? It’s October 10-12. I hope you can make it.

I’m hosting the 3rd Outsource Workshop here in Minneapolis, November 7-9, and it is sure to be the best seminar yet. We’ll be bringing in some new speakers this year and I look forward to some great content, and hands on learning by the students. This event is purposefully meant to be a SMALL gathering of about 25 people total. The cost is $1997, but if you get my Outsource Secrets Revealed package, you get to come free!

Looking forward into the Spring of 2009…. I have partnered with Rob Toth, a great internet marketer from Vancouver, BC, and we’ll be doing a Canadian Internet Marketing Conference in Calgary, the last weekend in March. We hope to service our Canadian friends with their own internet marketing event, that caters not just to Canadians, but people all over the world. It’s gonna feel siminar to a Midwest Super Conference, but it will be much bigger and I am sure will sell out with in a few weeks of launch. Canadians are so hungry to have a conference in their own hood! And Rob and I are going to deliver that to them and fill that need.

So, that’s what’s coming up, stay tuned for more updates as they come!

Best plan we have heard so far!

The $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college – it’ll be there

Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car – create jobs

Invest in the market – capital drives growth

Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it…instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG – liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.

Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.”

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC.

And remember, This plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
