Wordpress Blog Templates

February 18th, 2008

Many people start their “blog hunt” by searching for Wordpress Blog Templates. While this may be a good starting place, it’s easy to get tripped up. I remember when I first started out hunting for blog templates. I was surprised to find that there were TONS of free templates available to choose from.

I picked a wordpress blog template that worked with Google Adsense, and started making money immediately. But I quickly found a problem. I had a heck of a time getting the blog installed….have you ever looked at how to actually install Wordpress?

It’s not so bad if you know what you’re doing, but if you’re new or even intermediate it can be a challenge. And did you know that certain wordpress blog templates aren’t good for SEO or site ranking? It’s true, so making the right choice for your theme can be HUGELY important.

That’s why I chose the themes I did for the BOA Method. There are currently 10 different themes to choose from, all designed to my exact specifications. These wordpress blog templates are unique in that an opt-in form, adsense, and ALL the plugins are already built in for you.

You can learn more about the BOA Method by visiting this link:

BOA Method 

In the end, choosing the right blog template is up to you. But having a guide show you the ropes of blogging is very important. Especially someone who has created a new 7 figure business all from the power of wordpress blogging.

To Your Blogging Success,

Stunning Example of Perseverance - Giants defeat Patriots

February 4th, 2008

I spent tonight with my family watching the Superbowl.

I was a little disappointed that my Buccaneers weren’t in the game, but I was excited anyway. Everyone I knew was rooting for the Patriots…the undefeated team. Throughout the entire year they were perfect. They won every game, broke just about every record, and pretty much whooped up on everyone they played.

The New York Giants were the total opposite! They finished the year 10-6, actually losing the last game of the season to the Patriots.

But why am I telling you this?

Because tonight, when it really mattered, the underdog Giants came back to win the game in the final minute. Everyone said they couldn’t do it. No one gave them a chance. And with the odds against them, their backs up against a wall…

They WON!

The New York Football Giants are the National Football Champions! And more than that, they area testament to each of us. With everything on the line they played without fear. They took chances and gave it all they had. Even though no one expected it, they beat the perfect undefeated team…when it mattered most.

So, wherever you may be in life right now, don’t forget that no matter what happens to you…you can WIN! Forget what family or friends say, forget about what’s “supposed” to happen and just believe. When you do that, miracles happen. So, hold on to your dreams and work everyday to achieve them…because they really do come true. :)

Here’s To Your Success,

Mike Antoni

PS - If you’re a New England Patriots fan, it’s ok. Keep believing, you’ll probably be back again next year. ;)

The Best Way

January 28th, 2008

Well, it looks like it happened again. It’s 2008. Seems like only yesterday we were celebrating 2007. Isn’t it funny how time just seems to “fly” right by us?

You know, just last year I was recovering from major financial devastation. I was still reeling from the goat farm disaster (have you heard that story yet?). After that I came back home and didn’t really do much of anything. Eventually I got into another business but I was forced to sell out and lose money on the deal.

But why am I telling you all this? For 3 reasons, really.

1) Failure doesn’t exist if you don’t choose to accept it

2) Success is only one smart choice away

3) The only way to win is to learn how to win.

When it comes to failure, I about take the cake. I know what it’s like to want something really bad, but nothing ever seems to work out for you. Actually, a few times in my past I was about “this” close to changing my life. But for some reason, whenever I got close to making money, it seemed like something would screw up.

Once, I was about to make $5,000 scouting out foreclosure properties. I found the perfect deal, and right before it was set to close, the sellers backed out and decided to actually let their house go into foreclosure! Another time I bought a stock that doubled in value! I thought about selling and decided not to. The next week the stock went up from $2.12 all the way up to $25 per share.

I was ecstatic! But when I went to sell my shares, I found out my step-dad had logged into my account without my permission and sold my stocks because they had doubled. He thought I was stupid to hang on to them. Had he not done that I would have made over $10,000 that day.

I bet you have a story like that too. How you ALMOST made it. How you almost got there, right? Well, my whole point is that you don’t have to give up. We all face challenges, I call these defining moments. The greatest secret of the world’s wealthiest people (from all time) is that they never gave up.

During the last year, I’ve met a lot of rich people. On an average day I spend my time talking to multimillionaires. And guess what? Everyone of them have a story about what didn’t work. What went wrong. And even, how they felt like giving up at times.

But they didn’t. And neither did I. That’s why I’m here today teaching and sharing my money making strategies, because I kept at it.

I have a quote I say a lot, and maybe it will help you as much as it did me. It says,:

When You Decide Failure Is Not An Option, Success Is Your Only Outcome

And I know some people will say that all this mindset “stuff” is nice, but what do I do? Now, I’ll be honest. I don’t think you can sit at home doing absolutely nothing and make a fortune. What I teach isn’t for those kind of people. But, you also don’t have to work a lot. Many of my students make a strong income working about 10-20 minutes a day.

So, yeah, you do have to “learn” something. But really, it’s not that hard. To be honest, anyone can do it. You’ve just got to make the decision to start. And the results can be amazing. I know for me I’m often absolutely totally SHOCKED by my results.

As a matter of fact just last week I generated just shy of $100,000 in a day. Now, all that wasn’t mine, of course, but it goes to show you that anyone can get involved and start making money. Heck, if you just did 1/10th as good as I did you’d still make $10,000. Not bad, huh?

So, you’ve got to commit to learning. And if you haven’t yet, I’ll go ahead and recommend my system to you. I may be a little bit biased, but that’s only because I know it works…and fast. If you’re looking to change your life, spend more time with your family, or just plain do the things YOU want to do when YOU want to do them, I’m offering you the key. But it’s up to you to open the door.

Here’s where it starts:

Harnessing The Power Of Web 2.0

January 28th, 2008

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the magical powers of “Web 2.0″. It’s supposed to be the amazing easy instant traffic that we all dream about. But, what is web 2.0, anyway? If you’re like most people, you may have heard the name, but not much more than that.

In essense, Web 2.0 sites feature at least one of the following, usually more:

  • Interactivity
  • Member Input
  • Community
  • Commenting
  • Shared Experiences

There are literally THOUSANDS of sites that qualify at Web 2.0. And even though many people don’t like to admit it, Web 2.0 isn’t new. Have you ever been involved in a forum? That’s the backbone of Web 2.o…or at least the Grandfather. :)

Whenever a group of internet users come together to share experiences, information, and community…that’s Web 2.0. Think of blogs, like this one. You’re here right now reading what I wrote. However, you are stuck just reading…you can also ADD to this material by leaving a comment below.

So, when someone new comes to read this post, they can read not only what I wrote, but also what you commented as well. Now, you are taking part in the communication. Your thoughts, feelings, and comments are shared freely to the rest of the world…so long as they find this site.

Here’s some of the biggest Web 2.0 sites on the planet:

This is a small sampling, but if you just focused on those sites you could spend ALL DAY long meeting new people, reading interesting information, and also adding in your own thoughts and opinions. But why would you do that? Well, for 3 reasons really.

  1. Web 2.0 sites bring you traffic
  2. Web 2.o sites can help increase your site authority
  3. Web 2.0 sites will expose your product to new audiences

Now, as a method of driving traffic to your site, Web 2.0 can’t be beat. But the question always is: Does the traffic convert to sales? From my experience and the experience of others I’ve learned this much. The traffic DOES convert, but it’s not as targeted as paid traffic or article traffic.

This is because Web 2.0 “visitors” aren’t actively looking to buy anything. They’re just out looking for a good time. Maybe watch a few funny videos, read about a current event, and reconnect with an old friend from elementary school. That’s the mindset we’re working with.

Before I go any further, let me differentiate three different types of Web 2.0 traffic. Here they are:

  • Social Networking Sites
  • Social Bookmarking Sites
  • Interactive User Sites

Social Networking sites usually are built for people to come together as a community. The most popular social networking sites are Myspace and Facebook. These sites allow members to join and find like minded people. It’s sort of like an online “watering hole” so to speak. You can find old friends, new friends, or even boy/girl friends.

As a matter of fact, a new study found that 1 in 8 married couples in 2007 met online. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyway, social bookmarking sites are a little different. They allow people to share “stuff” they find interesting, funny, or weird…usually that’s the most popular! Sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, and del.icio.us are really popluar. These sites let you create bookmarks of your favorite internet findings. Other members of the community (there’s that word again) vote on whethey they like the content or not. The more “yes” votes, the higher up the site your site goes…or the more people who can find it.

The final type I’m talking about today is Interactive User Sites. These are sites like blogs and forums. You read (or watch) the material being presented then you can add in your own comment. This can help you get traffic because whenever you leave a comment, a link points back to your site.

These 3 Web 2.0 categories are in no means all inclusive. Many of them crossover. It’ just a general idea for you to grasp.

So the question becomes - how do we turn these visitors into traffic? I’ll cover that in an upcoming blog post. Look for the link posted here soon.

Sorry to leave you hanging, but I’ve got to run!!

Leave your experiences with Web 2.0 so far.

-Mike

Why Blogging Works So Well

January 21st, 2008

I’m often asked “Why should I Blog?” People who ask this question aren’t looking for  an excuse not to blog, they just aren’t quite sure what’s in it for them. And in the end that’s what we all want to know. We don’t do anything in life until we find out what’s in it for us.

This short phrase is often abbreviated as “WIIFM”, pronounced wifem. This means What’s In It For Me? And now I will show you why you should start blogging ASAP! Ok, enough with the acronyms. ;-)

Blogging is nothing more than an online journal. It’s an account of the daily activities or your company is doing. And that’s what makes a blog better than a static (regular) site. Blogs are alive. They are updated frequently with current news and events.

Old sites just sit there…with nothing new happening. Many people call these web pages “Brochure Sites”. Instead of your visitor feeling like they are interacting with you, they feel nothing. This is because they can’t communicate openly, and the information on your site becomes dated pretty fast, especially in this day and age.

When you blog, you also get to be yourself. You don’t have to sound salesly, or corporatey. Are those even words? Anyway, people love blogs and so will you. It takes away 99% of the technical side of having an online business as well.

A lot of people ask me how I was able to go from flat broke to 7 figure business partner in a little less than a year. My answer is that I leveraged my blog and my ability. And there’s no reason you can’t do the same thing. I know that sounds a little crazy, but it’s not.

You can setup a blog in about 2 minutes (when you use my special BOA Magic Button). You can use your blog to start generating money in as little as 24 hours. It really is that easy. Anyone can do it, and the results can happen pretty quickly.

Starting a blog is the thing that changed my entire life…and I hope you give it a chance as well. If you are interested in blogging and internet marketing, then check out my Squidoo page below:

The Best Way To Make Money Online Easy

How To Get Free Traffic…Really

December 19th, 2007

Hi Guys and Gals,

As you know a couple weeks ago we opened the doors of the BOA Method to a number of people who were wanting to make money online. Many of the people who left their Million Dollar Desire had never made any money online. Now, those who took action and got started are already reaping the rewards of their decision.

Over the next few weeks (AFTER the holidays ;-) I’ll be showing you some of these people and sharing what they’ve been able to do with the BOA Method. Even though they aren’t gurus, I’m going to show you how anyone can start making money online and setting the wheels of change in motion.

But right now I wanted to show you something absolutely CRAZY. When we opened the doors on December 4th, 2007 I knew there were quite a few people interested in the BOA Method. But what I didn’t know was just how many people would come to our  site at one time.

I mean, just look at this picture:

BOA Method Free Traffic

I am truly amazed and astonished by this statistic. I didn’t want to talk about it yet because I didn’t want to “hype” up the launch thing. I’m not that kind of guy. But now you can see it with your own eyes. If you haven’t had a chance yet to learn more about the BOA Method, then now’s the time.

 

Here’s the link:

The Truth About The BOA Method

 

Look for more posts on the blog soon. I’m gonna keep adding new cool posts to keep you thinking and on your toes. :-)

Your Next Step Will Change Everything For You

December 5th, 2007

I wanted to take a second and share with you how I excited I am by all of your wonderful stories. I’m excited I got the chance to “talk” to you in the PETE Report and of course in the videos from the seminar. The last week has been one of the busiest of my life. I get TONS of emails everyday from people just like you (just like I was) searching for something of substance on the internet.

Most of the people I talk to aren’t even looking to get rich…not at first anyway. They just want to FINALLY make some money online. And that’s why I decided to release the BOA Method today. I never knew the amount of work it would take to actually create a program that laid out my EXACT strategies and teach them in a way that anyone could understand. But I have to admit, it wasn’t easy. It took me about 7 months and TWO different beta-test groups.

But now that I’ve created the BOA Method, I’ve never been happier in my life. It feels good knowing that something I created is helping the lives of people all over the world. And now I want to offer you the chance to take your dreams to the next level. And what do I mean by that? Many people have come to my blog to share their “Million Dollar Desire”…and I’ve LOVED reading everyone of them.

As a matter of fact, a little over a year ago I was writing my Million Dollar Desire down and laying the groundwork for what would become the BOA Method. So, I can tell you first hand that it works. All you have to do is step up and take action. That action today is getting started with the BOA program. I’ve poured nearly all my time and energy into this program to make it easy for ANYONE to come in, have a site of their own, and be making money within 24 hours.

Yes, it really is posssible. And yes, it’s possible for you! As a matter of fact, I know that right now someone is reading this and getting excited. Excited because the light bulbs are going off in their head. They know that this is the way to turn everything around. If you’ve seen my report, watched my videos, and read my emails - you know I’m not a pushy guy. I’m not going to use any fancy sales tactics to twist your arm and make you sign up. That’s not my style.

My style is to give you incredible value up front so you can see what kind of value is in store for you when you get on the inside. I’ve got 10 hours of step by step video training, 4 hours of no-holds-barred audio sessions, and a HUGE BOA Blueprint Guide which walks you through setting up your own internet business. And I know what I teach works, because I’ve already taught my method to hundreds of students.

And now it’s time for you to join in on the action (and fun). I don’t want to sound hypey, but this is the easiest way to start making money online today. You’re literally only moments away from bypassing all the hurdles and barriers that have held you back before. You need a blueprint, and you’re getting that. You need to overcome technology…and you’re doing that with the BOA Magic Button. And I know you’ve got the right mindset now. You’ve listened to Million Dollar Desire, you know what you. It’s time to get it.

I want you to click on the link below and read every word on the page. Just reading this will reveal the steps you need to take to achieve your dreams and live your desires. And more importantly, it will show you the proven method you can use to charge of your life right now. It’s no secret that financial success opens up doors. I’ve seen it in my own life this last year. And I want the same for you. I truly believe you are destined for great and marvelous things. The key is to get started today.

And here’s where you can turn it all around and make your Million Dollar Desire come true:

3 Proven Reasons 96% Fail At Making Money Online

December 3rd, 2007

Hey Guys,

I just had dinner with Lisa Diane here at her condo in Daytona Beach.

I was sharing with her some of the feedback I’ve been getting from people who have read The PETE Report and how much I really want to help.

So many of the emails I’ve gotten remind me of me.

Sometimes I still can’t believe all that’s happened in such a short time.

It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in front of my computer, without a dime to my name, searching for the way out.

And here I am–just a little more than a year later– running a 7 figure business and working alongside some of the most successful Entrepreneurs on the net today.

But that’s when Lisa Diane reminded me of something…

“It’s NOT Rocket Science!”

Truth is, making money is really pretty easy once you’ve got the “3 Bases Covered.”

If you read the PETE Report you probably remember there are 3 Proven Reasons 96% of everyone online is failing.

(If you haven’t read the PETE Report you can grab a FREE Copy at www.PETEReport.com)

Which means there are also 3 Reasons the 4% are succeeding!

And that’s what The BOA Method is all about.

It’s also why we’ve had such an amazing success rate with our two groups of beta-testers.

You can read their stories at: http://boamethod.com/blog/make-money-with-blogs/welcome-to-the-boa-method/#comments

Because FINALLY, there’s a step-by-step system that delivers exactly what you needinstead of just a bunch more disconnected pieces of information you have no clue how to use.

Yesterday we talked about the BOA Blueprint.

But also included with BOA is my personal video and audio training center.

This is where I personally walk you through the process of building your business– from A to Z. It’s all recorded on over 10 hours of video and 4 hours of audio for you to follow along with.

Then there’s the MAGIC BOA BUTTON!

This is my pride and joy!

I spent 7 solid months working on The MAGIC BOA Button with 5 programmers.

And now it’s available for you so you won’t be held back by the “terrible t”… TECHNOLOGY! :(

At just the PRESS of a button (the Magic BOA Button) your entire site (according to my 111 point plan) will be built and ready for you.

It really is like magic. ;)

And then there’s the BOA CLUB…

I wish I had time to tell you about the BOA Club (because you’d be blown away by what’s behind that door) but this post is already longer than I wanted it to be.

So I’ll have to tell you about the Club tomorrow– when I send over Video #4.

In the meantime, here’s the next winner of my complete BOA Method System:

****************************
Kasia Greco
Vienna, Italy
****************************

I’ll be choosing another person to receive my entire system–FREE.

So if you haven’t already posted your “Million Dollar Desire” here on the blog, go ahead and do that now.

http://boamethod.com/blog/million-dollar-desire/whats-your-million-dollar-desire/

I’ll announce another winner tomorrow when I send over Video #4.

Have a good night!
Mike Antoni

P.S. You’ll want to watch out for Video #4–because it’s the one where I reveal the 5 FREE WAYS to Get Traffic to Your Site, PLUS the Guru’s Biggest Secret. ;)
 

Do You Have A Plan?

December 2nd, 2007

I was planning on posting this earlier–but time got away from me.

I’ve spent the day answering questions and getting ready for the release of The BOA Method.

I’m actually spending the week at Lisa Diane’s condo on Daytona Beach. Here’s a picture:

lisa diane's condo

She’s the one who really wants me to share BOA with everyone. Truth is, I probably never would have made the move if it weren’t for her prodding.

I don’t want to come off sounding like another “wanna-be-guru”… I’m about as far from that as can be. But when someone like Lisa Diane absolutely insists you take the next step… it’s really stupid not to do it.

So here I am… just a couple days from openly sharing my money-getting system with the world.

It’s a little nerve-racking for me. I’m more of a “behind-the-scenes” kind of guy. But so far everyone’s been really nice. And I’m getting tons of email from
folks who can’t wait to join me–so that’s cool.

Anyway, I thought maybe you’d like to know a little more about The BOA Method–especially if you’re considering joining me when I release it this Tuesday.

I don’t want to take up too much of your time–so I won’t go into everything
here–but I can at least give you the basics.

*******************************************
BOA is made up of  4 MAJOR COMPONENTS:

#1. The BOA Blueprint
#2. The BOA Training Center
#3. The Magic BOA Button
#4. The BOA Club
*******************************************

Let’s start with the BOA Blueprint…

Remember how we talked about the “3 Proven Reasons” 96% of everyone is FAILING online?

Reason #1 is LACK of a plan– a step-by-step blueprint to follow.

The BOA Blueprint solves it!

It’s my personal step-by-step plan (from A-Z) in how to setup your own money-getting system.

Because making money is EASY–when you have a specific”paint by numbers” type plan to follow.

And that’s exactly what I give you in the BOA Blueprint.

There’s no guesswork–or trial and error type hit or miss theory. I give you the straight facts on what’s worked for me over and over again–and Is how you exactly (step-by-step) how to let it work for you.

Of course, the BOA Blueprint is just the tip of the iceberg…

I’ll tell you about the other components in my nex post.

But before I go I wanted to announce the first winner of my complete BOA Method System…

***************************

 Robert Woodering
Congrats, Robert! :-)

***************************

In his Million Dollar Desire Robert mentioned needing a “step-by-step blueprint” to follow. Now he’ll have one.  

I’ll be choosing 2 more people to receive my entire system–FREE.

So if you haven’t already poste your “Million Dollar Desire” here on the blog, go ahead and do that now.

Who knows, I could choose your’s next!

I’ll announce another winner tomorrow when I reveal more about what the BOA Method can do for you.

Have a good night!
Mike Antoni

P.S. After I sent out the email yesterday where I said the BOA Method would definitely NOT be another one of those high-priced courses I got slammed with emails from people trying to guess the price.

I don’t want to get into it now but I already said it WON’T be $1,497. Let’s just leave it at that. ;)
