VIDEO: Looking for Internet Marketing Pros to Help LuxuryFitnessFun.com win ThinkTraffic.net's Million Dollar Blog Project

I'm looking for internet marketing pros to help give their expert advice and pointers so that LuxuryFitnessFun.com can win ThinkTraffic.net's Million Dollar Blog Project.  Are you a successful internet marketer?  Would you take the time to look at LuxuryFitnessFun.com and give me 1 to 3 suggestions of what I should be doing to maximize revenue asap?  Emails, phone calls and videos are all accepted and appreciated.

Here's my short (2.5 min) video seeking advice from successful internet markets around the world:

 

Do Bellevue Businesses Deserve a Business Organization That Promotes Them? Would You Support an All-Bellevue Chamber?

It seems like there is a huge void for the businesses of Bellevue - there is no business membership group (outside of Eastside Entrepreneurs which is open to all) which will help promote their businesses, offer affordable and fun networking opportunities as well as budget conscious ways for additional marketing.

The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce

Google "Bellevue" and then Google "Bellevue Business" and Find BellevueBusinessJournal.com

A couple of weeks ago, I tried searching for the keywords "Bellevue Business" on google.  I was a little surprised at all the paid ads at the top, but am proud to say that the #1 organic search result is BellevueBusinessJournal.com - one of my most active sites.  (Advertising is available and very inexpensive considering the market it has exposure to.)  It is a little surprising that the Bellevue Chamber with it's huge budget and staff is behind us - but hey I'm happy - and feel like we do a much better job of representing businesses and business people in Bellevue and on the Eastside of Lake Washington.  Shoot - at the time of this writing, my real estate blog site, JoeKennedy.biz was only two listings behind the 'mighty' chamber.

This morning I just googled "Bellevue" and was very surprised to see that BellevueBusinessJournal.com shows up on the very first page.  It is at the bottom, but heck we are on the first page!  Again, ahead of the slumping Bellevue Chamber of Commerce whose site does not even show up on the first page at all.

BTW - Microsoft's BING seems to continue to be irrelevant in search, (especially local search) as many of it's search results are simply list directories or links from the Bellevue's in Nebraska or Tenessee (although BellevueBusinessJournal.com is still listed #2 and way ahead of the once influential Bellevue Chamber, which is not even listed on the first page under Bellevue Business) ...  This is very sad.

Just Signed Up for the Million Dollar Blog Project

I just signed up for ThinkTraffic.net's Million Dollar Blog Project - and the competition is ON!

The blog that I will be using for the competition (and a lot of other projects) is LuxuryFitnessFun.com.  It is a very new blog with no real traffic or subscribers, but I think we will be seeing that change in the next few months.  My goal is to get to the top of the leader board in reported revenue by June 1st, 2012 - and that is starting out today with $0 reported revenue.

I'm also going to be learning a lot about internet marketing, as well as luxury, fitness and fun and will be wanting to blog and vlog about it all.  Cannot wait to share.

Ready for a Real Celebration?

If you thought that you've seen fireworks displays, you probably have not seen anything quite like this scene at the Oban community fireworks display.



All the fireworks for the entire show end up going off in the first minute ....  Thanks to Red and 107.7 The End who first posted it over on their blog.

Do You Have a Book, e-Book, Program or Course You Want to Sell More Of?

Have you written a book, e-book, program or course that you want to sell more of?  It can be difficult to sell these products through traditional channels and many times authors and creative types are not the right personalities to go out and sell.

Are you willing to partner with an internet marketer for a chance at sales going off the charts?

I'd love to hear from you.  I've been learning quite a bit about internet marketing learning from some of the best in the biz and need some products to market using some of the techniques that I have learned.

Preferred projects are deliverable by email and/or web, and designed to reach certain niche markets.  Optimal target markets in my eyes are: luxury, fitness, fun, pets and animals, and travel.  All reasonable (and most of the unreasonable) proposals will be considered.  Please write to me at JoeConnector(at)gmail.com.
