He used that as social proof
working towards a main goal
• In 6 days he made 5 sales for hostgator – • Making him 50 bucks each sale = $300
• One sale Aweber - just $3.80 month
• So a 2 mins blog post made him $303.80
• Its not bad for 2 mins work right
And check this where did the traffic come from ?
The scary part

Quote: up and "RUNNING"
not up and "crawling"
Cash is flowing onlineyou just have to understand how
it flows
My readers no longer see failureas a bad thing, but it as part of
success,
I started seeing $5,000to $10,000 a month, just from
sending a couple of emails to my list
In order to maximum exposure online you will want to create
your own eBook,
Dean has finished his eBookand just 6 weeks ago he didn't have a clue of anything when
I met him,
this proves you can to do it too :)
So here’s how you create an eBook from your blog ?
Marketing makes selling superfluous
I’m going to cover traffic in the next module or even the next
two modules ?
