Robert Plank Customer Focus SUCKS!

April 22, 2010 by Russell Hall  
Filed under Guru Focus

Oh Heck yeah folks… it had to happen,… another hard working and industrious young entrepreneur on the way to becoming a “Guru” forgot how important real people and customer focus are to any business.

How I became an “ex-Robert Plank believer”

The basic story goes that I attended one of Robert Plank and Lance Tamashiro’s webinars about Membership Cube. At first I had no intention of subscribing but they did such a great job of presenting their new “Membership Cube” membership site that I subscribed at $47USD per fortnight.

After signing up I got sent my access link which took me to the site but wouldn’t let me in. I just kept seeing a “500 Internal Server Error” page. So I emailed Lance and he said he’d look at it. This he did and he offered some suggestions but still no access. So knowing that Robert is a php programer and also knowing that this was their server problem and not mine (viz-a-viz “Internal Server Error 500″) I asked Lance to get Robert to take a look.  Several days had no elapsed and yet still no fix in sight and the only respnonse I had from them was that “everybody else can log in,.. so it must be your problem” … unreal I thought,… blaming me for their “Internal Server Error 500″ issue.

I then suggested to Lance that I thought it could be a firewall protocol keeping me out because I had a Thailand IP address and that I would test this by using a proxy server to log in. “Good idea” said Lance.  That didn’t work either.

Finally (after a week had transpired) I urged them to get it fixed, but Robert’s response was “oh, we checked the server records and noticed that you tried to log in twice the same day with two different IP addresses,..1 from Thailand and 1 from Chicago,… so sharing your member login detail with your buddies will get you logged out for sure!” I couldn’t believe the arrogant, presumptuous and totally ignorant remark that he made there. I’d already told Lance I was going to use a proxy server to test the firewall and yet Robert comes along (supposedly after discussing it with Lance) and accuses me of sharing password keys.

They gave me an instant refund (to their credit) but clearly this was a matter of something having gone wrong at their end that they weren’t willing to get fixed and the easy way out was to ignore me, blame me, and just palm me off. Evidently they must have wayyy too many customers lined up.

The thing that gets me though is the line that they push all the time “We Care About Your Success”,…. that’s a total CROCK guys,… you don’t really give a shit!!! All you care about is your own profits. Just another pair of Internet scumbags as far as I’m concerned. Which is a shame because they do have their brilliant points even though they appear to look at this entire Internet marketing thing as a game and have started to become known by many people as just packaging up the trashiest PLR materials and then presenting it as worthwhile content.

I, like many I’ve spoken to recently will NEVER do business with Robert Plank or Lance Tamashiro ever again! They are no better that the profit hungry integrity lacking scum that are parasites on an industry that I hope will one day turn around and bite them on the arse!

I hope you read this Plank,… what’s the point of being brilliant when you treat people like trash and with so much disrespect?,.. YOU ARE A MORON!

New Awesome Article Writing & Submission Software

February 3, 2010 by Russell Hall  
Filed under Articles, Cool Tools

Hey you guys,

during this past week I've been engaged in some projects producing articles and then getting them submitted.

I've had an interesting time with this and through it I encountered many challenges in finding sofware that worked and getting a really powerful article writing and submission system going.

After getting totally frustrated with 3 other pieces of submission software I finally found one that works.

In factit works better than I could have imagined and is ultra powerful with many great features and is simple to navigate and work.

Get this,.. once I'd inputted my account and author profile details it then went out and in 4 minutes and 53 seconds it created 1098 accounts in the various article directories. It then received all the relative registration emails and automatically activated over 800 confirmation links in 20 minutes. Then in another 5 minutes it submitted my article to over 400 directories (all targeted by category) and had over 100 of them accepted and published instantly.

I could hardly believe my eyes.

If you're interested to find out more and get me to leave some screen shots and video I'll make them but first leave a comment and let me know you'd like to know more or I won't bother with it.

Cheers

How to Find Out Which Platform a Blog or CMS Uses

October 22, 2009 by Russell Hall  
Filed under Articles, Newbie Help, WordPress

Have you ever visited a blog or website and been curious or needed to know which platform they are using to generate the website?

Here's a brief tutorial on how to easily find out.

You can try it out on the page that you're on right here on The RussRave. If using Firefox click on the "View" tab in the top left hand corner of your browser.Then select "Page Source" from the drop down menu of the "View: tab.


You'll see the html source code page display on your screen and somewhere towards the middle or top of that page you'll see the blog/CMS title like this


<title>The RussRave</title> and immediately under that you'll see ,…
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress abc" />

Where you can see "generator" content ="Wordpress" means that the site is built on Wordpress. If it was Joomla or Drupal you'd see wording indicating that platform as the content generator.

If you're using Internet Explorer you still click on the "View" tab in the top left hand corner of the browser and then select "Source" from near the bottom of the drop down menu.

Hope that's of some use to you. If you have questions or comments please feel free to leave a comment,… for which you'll get backlink credit to your own blog via the CommentLuv plugin I have installed :-)

Cheers,.. and have a great day.

WordPress Affiliate 1.0 Plugin

October 18, 2009 by Russell Hall  
Filed under Articles, Cool Tools, WordPress, internet marketing

I’ve just been invited  to test review a new plugin called WP-Affiliate1.0 which I must say is pretty neat.

Here’s how it works:

Once the plugin is installed (very simple via a one-click zip upload) you configure the settings in the admin panel that allows you to determine how many links you’ll display either before or after each post. You can also elect to show the links in a panel either only on the posts page or on the home page or both, amd you can control the font, the size, colors and border all very simply too.

It works with Clickbank products but one of the cool things about it is that when the links get clicked, the redirect doesn’t go straight to a full-on clickbank sales page, but to an information landing page about the product where you can get more details and even download free samples and materials.

My verdict on this new plugin is that it’s a winner and I’m sure there are bound to be some other updates and inclusions as its development continues into the future.

You can see the plugin in action right here under this post in the box that says "Related Products". If you like this plugin you can leave a comment and I can give you more details of the impending release as it happens.

Cheers,.. and have a great day.

Giving Too Much Free Stuff Can be Bad For Your Business

September 26, 2009 by Russell Hall  
Filed under Articles, Newbie Help, internet marketing

I try to keep my subscriptions on other people’s lists to a minimum. For the simple reason that I like to remain as focussed as possible on objectives and tasks, and the thing is that getting inundated with emails that are all clambering for my attention isn’t a good thing.

Presently I have hundreds and hundreds of emails unopened in my inbox even though I had it down to under 10 just a couple of months ago. So although I intended to go through and read many of them I’ll now just be bulk deleting the majority simply because they’re probably no longer relevant.

But the thing I really wanted to talk about is when you get on someone’s list and that person or marketer is really worthwhile and has good content and good supportive material that you would find useful,.. but then they start sending you invitations to get even more free stuff (lots of it in fact is very good,..and surprising that such good bbooks and programsare actually free). The thing that I’m saying is negative is the fact that these freebie offers are coming in every 2 or 3 days (sometimes more) and what I’ve noticed is that many of the offers are enticements for me to sign up to a new list with which the original marketer is affiliated (that’s good for him because he gets the referal commission,.. many of which are ongoing under micro-continuity programs) but it just means that you start to get more and more emails from other marketers that eventually end up being so intense that you just have to opt out of a whole bunch of lists.

Personally,.. I think that any marketer loses credibility and also reduces his or her own effectiveness by spreading themselves too thin over too many programs. Wouldn’t it be better to say focus on two (maximum 3) programs within a particular group that you really believe in and just totally focus on them. Write articels around them, blog about them, tweet about them, comment on them etc etc. That way you don’t end up aggravating people with endless offers with "this is the answer" connotation and thereby eventually lose credibility and just creat confusion (and mistrust?) in the eyes of your subscribers.

I’ll admit that I’ve personally been a bit slack in promoting what I believe are two of the very best programs for internet marketers to get involved with. These particular guys are the real deal when it comes to proving a track record of results that are totally free from all the typical guru hype and BS that abounds on the internet.

I’ll be featuring more about these two marketers shortly,.. but for now I just felt that I should make a point about being barraged by way too much free content. If you’ve got good free content to give to your list,.. then my recommendation is to limit it or drip-feed it to them so that it can be received fairly and given more serious attention too. I think we’re all getting a bit fed up of the "get in quickly" "this closes at midnight" "act before this dissapears",… I for one am just sick of seeing all of that even though it’s true that scarcity does motivate people to act,.. there are better ways of doing it.

Have a great day!

Nerd Blogger Strikes Again

September 10, 2009 by Russell Hall  
Filed under Articles, Newbie Help, WordPress

What is it with these geeky guys that think they can  come along and introduce a whole bunch of tricks, and cool techniques that will turn plain old WordPress installs into awesome Internet Marketing and Blogging power machines?

I was right in the middle of developing some pretty neat plugins that would flat out transform the basic IM abilities of WordPress that I was planning to charge $97 for and I reckon that would have been good value.

But along comes that brilliant (and very annoying) nerd genius Robert Plank and he creates a website loaded with videos in which he shows anyone and everyone how to turn their WordPress blog into a freaking Ferrari featured machine! He completely blew my plugin development plans out the window and then goes and adds even more features that anyone can start to apply right away using his insightful nerdy knowledge for which he’s becoming famous (read "infamous").

So I figured,.. what the heck…. if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em, so I decided to feature Roberts "Nerd Blogger" here.

Get in now  while the price is still low,…

…..to your WordPress and Blogging success!

Brad Callen Customer Service Sucks!

August 30, 2009 by Russell Hall  
Filed under Articles, Guru Focus, internet marketing

Brad Callen Sucks

Brad Callen without doubt produces some excellent products and clearly understands SEO and Keywords very well. I invested in his Keyword Elite 1.0 a couple of years ago and it has been great. I still use it quite regularly as a major keyword tool.
The only problem I have with Brad Callen is that whilst his products are great, his customer focus and support really SUCKS!
Let me explain that by saying that I have experienced two counts of lousy customer service and lame responses from Brad Callen’s people where problems and complaints were dropped at the point where my requests conflicted with Brad Callen’s policies (namely,.. I win,- you lose!). Ticketed response issues were just ignored and left hanging when it was realized that my issues of discontent would require actions that they were not prepared to make,- actions that would have required Brad Callen and his team to bend a little and to consider the customer’s issues as having more merit than nuisance value. For all the money that Brad makes it wouldn’t hurt him to reinvest a little of that back into keeping his customers happy and satisfied. Perhaps one way of making such an investment would be to employ more capable and customer focused staff that give real attentive service rather than offering trite and self preserving company policy jargon that purely serves (or so they think) Brad Callen Inc.

The issues:
The most recent issue revolves around the new release of Brad Callen’s Keyword Elite2.0 which is truly an excellent product that can perform some amazing tasks that just blows many competitors right out of the water. This is the way I felt about K.E. 1.0 as well. The problem is though, that whereas other marketers of similarly excellent products will provide free lifetime upgrades on the original version, Brad Callen insists on a fee of $97 to upgrade from Keyword Elite 1.0 to keyword Elite 2.0. He (actually, his staff,.. but I assume under his complete authority and approval) insists that KE2.0 is not an upgrade of KE1.0 and that it “doesn’t merge” and therefore represents a completely new stand alone product. To that I say “Brad Callen,..you are full of S.H.I.T.”. Of course KE2.0 is an upgrade (granted it is a major upgrade) because it essentially performs the same job as KE1.0 and has simply had some features added to make it compatible with keyword control and marketing in 2009 rather than that of 2007 (a massive time span in the Internet perspective). And of course it doesn’t “merge”,.. I don’t know of any upgrade that does “merge”,..that’s why we call them “upgrades”,.. because they replace the previous version,.. that’s like saying WordPress 2.8.4 won’t merge with 2.6.3! Clearly, Mr. Callen and his team think that customers such as me are complete idiots. Having said that, I expect that with due respect to other purchasers of the original KE1.0 that many have probably by now paid the upgrade fee of $97 because they realized they needed it’s functions to stay competitive. Most people don’t have the time or inclination to complain and insist on fair play as I have and so they relent to coughing up the money.

This is a disgusting and dirty practice Brad Callen,.. and you should be ashamed of applying such nefarious and narcissistic policies just to increase profits.
I could hardly believe the gall of Brad Callen’s customer service manager (Charles Livingston) when he proudly announced that KE1.0 customers “will receive a very large discount, via this coupon code at launch”,.. yeah,.. a hundred bucks off $197 which equates to getting slugged for $97,.. something that your average village idiot wouldn’t notice.

I noticed that the “ticket” that I opened with Brad Callen Inc. (AKA Bryxen Softaware) was declared “closed” immediately after the not-so-brilliant customer service rep Charles Livingston had provided only one reply which was just full of company rhetoric and self serving BS. So I then re-opened the ticket and left another message that clearly indicated my disgust and pointed out their lack of integrity and opportunist attitude. Of course, I got zero response and the ticket was again declared closed! This reminded of the previous time in November 2008 I made an inquiry via Brad Callen Inc. (AKA Byxen,.. rhymes with “thick-skin”) and encountered Nancy Fahey. At that time I was complaining about a forced-continuity issue regarding SEO Mindset Club, and the fact that my “FREE” copy of SEO-Elite was deactivated when I ceased to agree to ongoing monthly charges for the SEO-Mindset membership. I also was locked out of the remainder (3 weeks of it) of my SEO-Mindset membership that had been paid for by the $29.95 that I’d been charged and was refused a credit. The brilliant Nancy, told me that the $29.95 charge was justifiable because I had received the benefit of the “course” (that being the free book “SEO Mindset” that I paid $16.95 to have delivered,.. plus the first 30 days “free” trial membership to SEO-Elite membership club). When I argued the point with Nancy that “Free” means FREE, and that I should at least have my 3 weeks of SEO-membership (that I’d paid for) reinstated,..I was completely and bluntly ignored despite sending two more polite follow up requests.

I just let that one slip by and thought I’d put it down to experience and just console myself with the fact that the free “SEO Mindset” book (plus $16.95 deliver costs) was quite brilliant and I learned quite a few worthwhile things from it.
But when this latest issue with the KE.1.0/2.0 smoke & mirrors routine occurred, I decided to do something about it by writing this blog post at least as an expression of my extreme dissapointent in Brad’s apparent lack of forsesight and valued customer focus.

I doubt that my efforts to have my complaints heard and noticed will make too much difference to Brad Callen Inc and “Thick-Skin” software, but if it at least raises some awareness and just slightly annoys Brad Callen as much as his company policies and actions (or lack thereof) have annoyed me then I will feel justified.

In conclusion let me confirm that your products and your ingenuity are quite brilliant Brad Callen,.. it’s just your customer focus and belligerent attitude that TOTALLY SUCKS!

www. stands for work, work, work!

It never ceases to amaze and intrigue me how many people embark upon some kind of Internet venture or other and then expect some kind of magical "Internet" formula to kick in and start rocketing them, their product(s), cause or business to dizzying heights of success.

Never before has any other form of new media had this kind of phenomenally mesmerizing effect on so many people,.. I mean, we must be talking "millions" of people here that have this kind of expectation that they fully expect will come to fruition close to as they’ve imagined it or even better.

shovel-businessmanMy observation is that it’s the Internet itself that’s responsible for creating this kind of "lemming like" mass hysteria. Certainly there have been many very successful Internet marketers that got involved in the "early days" of the mid to late 1990’s and made an absolute motza in online sales. Added to that is the next generation of Web1.0 marketers that followed in the steps of their mentors and also did very well indeed.

However,.. you’ve got to remember that back then it really was the early days,… kind of like the California Gold Rush where anyone who could afford a bucket, a  pick and a shovel and was prepared to do a bit of digging could strike gold without too much effort, but as is the case with all gold rush experiences,- once the mother-load vein has been farmed, the hard and the smart work begins in figuring out the best ways of finding new tracts and even better ways of using leveraging to get it out.

So there’s a kind of echo that’s still ringing out loudly in the ears of lots of folks out there that "thars gold in them thar hills",.. the hills of course being the "Internet",.. and to be plainly factual about that… it’s a fundamentally true statement. The problem lies in the fact that there is still a misconception that striking it rich or making more than enough to sack your boss is an easy task that can be achieved within the first 90 to 180 days online.

I’ll be the first to say that YES,.. it is entirely possible to achieve those kind of results. I personally know of several "new comers" that in the past 2 to 3 years alone have achieved astonishing and consistent results from a virtual standing start, but the thing that distinguishes these people is that they all worked really hard and really consistently to get to where they are now. It seems that those that have broken into the good money have all established some quite stringent work practices and routines that have allowed them to achieve their success!

In my opinion, anyone that has a plan to buy some kind of "business in a box", "turnkey website" or start hawking around the same old rehashed PLR e-info that everyone else has, is just kidding themselves about ever being able to become financially independent or even replace their income online.

What about Web2.0,… doesn’t that make the whole task so much easier now?

My quick answer,… "no way Jose". Don’t get me wrong, I think that Web2.0 and the evolution thereof is a fantastic thing,.. but it needs to be basically understood and then a working and/or marketing strategy has to be created around that which then needs to be RELENTLESSLY worked on until the results and the networking power becomes activated enough for it to make any real difference.

Whilst many people have already figured out which elements of the Web2.0 network they need to be working that will be most suited to their marketing or promotional objectives, there are just as many and more that have not or haven’t even got a clue. The point here is, that with so many new Web2.0 sites starting up (many of them are very good too) it’s impossible for you to have a profile and be active on every single one of them (or even half of them) unless you had a team of diligent and objective focused virtual assistants working for you. At the moment, most people tend to to using a combination of *blogging (including commenting on similar niched blogs for exposure and some backlinks) *Facebook, *Twitter, *Youtube/Metacafe, *Linkedin, *Friendfeed (now owned by Facebook), *Squidoo, *Hubpages, *Forums, *Article submissions. However, to put in the required time on each of those on an average daily basis not only requires a clear schedule to be drafted,.. but several hours each day just to keep such a network alive! I take my own example and say that whilst I’m not afraid of hard work (most of which I really enjoy anyway) and long hours, I just cannot keep up with the demands that my "Web2.0 network list" requires,- well certainly not to the level that would be considered as suitable or consistent enough for me to be satisfied with.

If you’re one of those people that’s been led to believe that simply by setting up a Facebook profile, a Twitter account, a Youtube Channel and a WordPress blog that you’re now on the "network" and you can just occasionally post and tweet content as you feel inclined and the whole Web.2.0 machine will kick in and do the rest, then you’re just a time bomb waiting to go off. A time bomb of frustration, disappointment and debt (yes it costs money to start an online business and stick with it,… for some poor uninformed folks… that’s WAY too much!).

Yes,.. WordPress is great,.. and the search engines and Google love Wordpress sites and blogs because they’re typically very reliable resources for street-level knowledge and information that people are looking for. But it depends on your content.,- if that’s not consistent reliable regular content then you can forget about it having any real impact on your site’s or blog’s performance from a ranking perspective. Sure you can get the best SEO expert in the country to tweak your blog with all the latest plugins and do keyword analysis and make sure your posts, categories and initial content are full of all the keyword rich content, but if you don’t continue to back that up and keep the snowball rolling you’ll soon find yourself scratching your head and relegating your blog to the "could’ve-been-great" graveyard where 80% of blogs all end up.

It’s kind of interesting that in the offline world, a common international statistic (in capital driven economies) is that 85% of businesses would fail within the first 5 years and 50% would fail in under 2 years. Is it then any coincidence that those figures are not only echoed online but also amplified? I was visiting Darren Rowse’s blog at http://www.problogger.net/  this week and noticed that he had a poll running in his right sidebar. The poll asks whether you have a blog and for how long you’ve been blogging. I found the results very interesting and they just confirmed my anecdotal evidence that I’d assumed had been the case for some time. Considering that Darren’s blog has a very wide readership and attracts what I would consider a very broad spread of "typical" bloggers and IM aspirants, I thought that his poll results (spread over 5,075 voters at time of this post) represented a reliable slice of the blogging and blogger perspective.

You can go and see for yourself (just take the poll and click "View results" to see) that the first 3 categories represent over 50% of the voters. Those categories are 1) "I don’t have a blog". 2) "Less than 3 months", 3) "3 to 6 months" and the total number of them being 2,610 is therefore 52% of the total voters. So therefore we have a clear indication that more than half the people either "preparing to start a blog" or having "started a blog" get to a period of about no more than 6 months before they either give up or kind of continue to limp along without realizing the goals that they started out with. Even if that assumption isn’t entirely correct, then one thing is clear,  and that’s the fact that only 28% of bloggers have been active for more than 18 months. I wonder how many of those 28% of bloggers have achieved the successes and objectives that they started off with? I’d like to wager that it’s quite low and that only a small proportion of those blogs could be considered as being truly successful or mainstream fixtures!

I’m coming to my real intended point in this article which is that most people (probably 85% to 90%) embark upon their internet venture wearing rose colored glasses and expecting some magical Web2.0 formula or Internet phenomenon to sweep them up to success without actually having to break much of a sweat. When I look at all of the successful online marketers and professional bloggers they all appear to have one thing in common,.. they work their tails off in order to achieve and maintain their successes. For sure, all of them are applying outsourcing and Virtual Assistant practices (some on huge scales) in order to get their results,… but the common fundamental ingredient and theme is there,… it requires WORK,.. "www. work work work" in order to achieve online success and any kind of niche domination.

I read recently that Rich Schefren (you can Google him to discover he’s a much respected and very knowledgeable online (and offline) businessman), brought up the topic at one of his recent seminars at which many of the the Internet’s top marketers and performers were present,.. and that topic was along the lines of ,.. How realistic is it to believe in the notion of the "Internet Lifestyle"? (That "lifestyle being,… sipping Margaritas on an island resort while your clickbank and Paypal accounts keep churning out the dollars for you). The combined consensus of the delegates present was that that lifestyle (on a permanent or semi permanent basis) was a myth and didn’t really exist. The reason for that is that it takes work (and some genius strategies) to get there,..and it takes work to stay there…even if you do take some time off for a long "holiday",… the work is always there waiting to be attended to or waiting to be pumped to the next level if you want to keep the kind of dollars rolling in that your business and lifestyle now demands!

Here’s my advice to anyone that’s in that early starting out phase (for me its a "re-starting out" phase). You need to identify your best or most productive Web2.0 network sites to focus on, which you can do with research, and a bit of testing (if you have successful competitors or know of any like-styled businesses, watch what they’re doing). Then make a schedule for posting content to those sites and stick to it (make it realistic,.. but make sure its really regular). If you can afford to outsource some work to a VA (Virtual Assistant) then do that, but if you can’t just make your plan and stick to it. That will mean performing some routine daily tasks (write them down in a schedule) even though you might not feel like doing them,… and you WILL feel like you’re talking to yourself for the first 2 to 3 months (or more) whilst you’re getting little response or comments to you blog post, articles & Tweets etc. The thing is that during this time many people are watching and waiting for a time when they feel it’s a safe and reliable proposition to enter your "conversation" and become a part of it. The problem for most people is that they don’t have a clear and committed objective and they just come to a grinding halt once their enthusiasm has faded away (usually within the first 3 to 6 months!).

In conclusion: if you’re not prepared to put some real work into building your online presence and creating a groundwork of trust and credibility then you should stop dreaming and wasting your time on every other out-of-the-box get rich program that comes out because although some of those programs can provide you with good ideas and information and tools,.. the main ingredient needed is YOU,… putting in the work.

I’d love to hear your views on this and perhaps if we can get some conversation happening it will provide some worthwhile support for our readers and also encourage me to post more articles going into more detail on this topic.

Until next time…. Cheers,..and have a great day!

SEO tips for WordPress

August 6, 2009 by Russell Hall  
Filed under SEO, WordPress

Hi there,

I was cruising around looking for some good current WordPress SEO tips and came across a few posts that I thought would be worth sharing here.
