Last week, I talked about Knowlage@Wharton and what a profound effect it had on my brain. This reminded me of another wonderful (I mean that literally) website, that I frequently rest at, TED.

What can we- internet marketers- learn from psychology, sociology, physics, military tactics, sports plays and politics? Mark Joyner believes that we con learn to control the minds of others.

I had recently ordered a tall stack of marketing books from Better World Books. Seeing as my stack had a few Mark Joyner books in it, and I am very curious as to this man’s success (in a good way! ), I added Joyner’s Mind Control Marketing online rerelease, as well.

I’ve been given a marvelous opportunity by Michael Port, who’s dared to ask me to review his second book, Beyond Booked Solid and kindly sent me a manuscript, pre-print (yes this is a first for me- I’m kinda psyched )

Who’s Michael Port?

Don’t worry, I didn’t know either. Apparently the reason for that is because I don’t read The Wall Street Journal. (I know, I know... Spank me later ) Truth be told, try as I might, I couldn’t find any bad reviews of Port’s books or services. You can check him out for yourself at his site and his YouTube channel and just for fun, take a look at his acting rap sheet, too. The Short version of it is that Michael Port is a business teacher (‘cause the word guru has been tortured to death and needs some time to heal ), a speaker and author and a bit of a philosopher. As is evident in his writing, which is profound, yet applicable.

Profound, yet Applicable

I’ve been talking a lot about mindsets, lately. With you, with my friends and with colleagues. One thing becomes more and more apparent, every day: You can’t teach it!

This doesn’t mean you give up, all together, on learning it. On the contrary! We must study it all the time- over and over again- and strive to experience it. That’s the reason I keep posting inspirational and mindset material to The Marketer Review. The repetition of ideas and the small differences between different sources, give you a fuller notion of the mindsets that will lead to your success.

The Makings of a Good Teacher

Teachers in the field of internet marketing write many books. Money aside, the reason for that, is that a good teacher will notice the questions asked by his/her students, and advance the lessons accordingly. A good teacher grows with their students. This is what Yaro Starak has done with his book, How to Start an Internet Business. (You need to subscribe to Entrepreneur's Journey's RSS feed, and the link to download the book will arrive in the feed.)

Starak could have written yet another make money blogging book, but, frankly, I, for one, would feel cheated, if he would have. Fortunately, he decided to talk about something else entirely...

In an innocent time, when the word “strange” had any viable effect on a listener, Earl Nightingale named his inspirational recording The Strangest Secret. Sadly, we can’t say we evolved too much, as the word “secret” still works wonders on us.

I truly believe that the most inspiring material I find - I find it in unsuspected places. Such is the case of Earl Nighingale’s Strangest Secret, which I was sent, by a friend from Mixx. The Secret really isn’t so strange, and to many of us may be even common knowledge, by now. But nothing can replace the perfect words of a well polished idea, and that’s exactly what Nightingale’s skit is all about. It’s a half hour piece, so grab a cup of Joe and have a sit and listen to what the man has got to say. (Nightingale is mostly targeting men in the broadcast, but this, of course, relates to women, too!)

I'm a big fan of Mark Joyner's work. In my opinion Simpleology 101 was a stroke of genius, on many levels. But even my favorite things need a thorough scrutiny, sometimes.

A few months ago I reviewed Mark Joyner’s Simpleology 101. In the article I mentioned Joyner was giving away the Simpleology Blogging course, to anyone who would blog about it. After writing the article, I, of course, snagged it.

Same Simple System

You’ve got to hand it to Joyner, he invented a teaching system that can be reused over and over again, on any subject. Simpleology Blogging teaches in exactly the same way Simpleology 101 is taught:

• Small, daily-dose of video.
• Having you sum up the lesson in your own words.
• Reading the video script.
• Hanging memory joggers all over the house.

Is it Enough?

Like most second editions the changes made to the Authority Black Book 2008 aren’t huge, but they’re very necessary.

Authority Black Book 2007

I read the Authority Black Book 2007 as a beginner blogger, about a year ago. It was very overwhelming and very essential. I used it as a checklist of things that must be done, in order to forward my online ventures. A friend sent me the 2008 edition of Authority Black Book, a couple weeks ago, and I had realized I have yet to mention this interesting tool.

What’s new in Authority Black Book 2008?

The ClueTrain has been on track since 1999, and what used to be its prophesy is now full on reality.

I’ve heard of the Cluetrain before, I’ve even reached the site on numerous, separate occasions, but I never really stopped to read it. A week ago a friend recommended it, so I read it, and boy does that prove the Cluetrain point!

Gabe & Max and how you can become a better marketer.

Every once in a while I gotta kick off my shoes and relax to some entertainment. For a while, now, I’ve been on a crusade to find entertainment, geared at the internet marketer. Lawyers get TV shows, cops get TV shows, doctors, detectives, journalists and even desperate house wives. So why don’t internet marketers get TV shows? Probably because you won’t sit through 25 minutes of some guy, sitting in his pajamas, in the basement (known as the “Home Office” ) hacking away at his computer.

Internet Marketing Entertainment exists

All is not lost, my internet marketing colleagues! As more and more people are becoming aware of internet marketing, the college humor and smart-ass parodies are on their way. (Yes this does mean you should worry about your methods and the future of internet marketing, but that’s for after the short video.)

An astute friend from StumbleUpon, noticed I’m into internet marketing and sent me this little piece of internet marketing parody. These guys are low-tech, but excruciatingly on the mark. Hope you don’t scare easily

A year ago, I opted-in to Mark Joyner’s Simpleoligy system. I never used it, until today.

What took me so long?

When I first opted-in to Mark Joyner’s Simpleoligy (new on the Hotlist), I was still an internet marketing newbie. Subscribing to every free newsletter, I can get my grubby little hands on (which I still do ) and reading every word, like it was god-sent (which I don’t anymore). I was also a tech newbie. Didn’t know much about the net and all it’s magical applications. Weighing under all these newsletters, I randomly stumbled onto the Simpleoligy 101 page, through my email routine. It didn’t look simple at all. I was overwhelmed and annoyed. So off I went, never to return to my own, personal Simpleoligy cockpit, again.

So why did I come back?

How do you grow your small blog? The Marketer Review presents: Search for Blogging- a case study.

What do you want out of your blog? A solid readership, a recursive income. Mert Erkal, from Turkey, has managed to do this. All he had to do was play by the rules that the market has established in the last decade. Search for Blogging is not yet big, but it’s growing rapidly and already has over 1000 readers per day.

How did Erkal do it?

Inspired by Blog Action Day- A lesson in viral marketing.

A few weeks back, while researching viral marketing for my Hugging for Attention post, I stumbled upon Blog Action Day* (Check out the sidebar) This idea struck me as so original, questions immediately popped into my head:

What would happen if every blog published on the same topic, on the same day?
