Russell Brunson launched a new free internet marketing training series last week which I highly recommend. It's called the "Zero to $100 Million Challenge". In case the title sounds like hype ("Yeah, right. He's going to teach me to make $100 million. Ha!"), here's what it means: his goal is to help the people who...

I'll be 100% up front with you -- I'm linking to a product I haven't seen yet, and I have an ulterior motive. But the product is free, and when I do get a chance to look at it, I'll post comments about it here. So here's where you come in...

Here's a video clip of Russell Brunson teaching a product creation technique that helps you create the right product for the market.

James Chartrand just posted a great piece at Copyblogger titled "Why Targeting Selective Perception Captures Immediate Attention.

I'll be brief, because I want to get upstairs to see whether the Jazz can pull off a road win against the Lakers (I'm living in Nebraska now, but I'm a Utah boy at heart).
