When it comes to running your Internet marketing, affiliate marketing or niche marketing business online, chances are you’re like the other work-at-home monopreneurs – there’s never enough time to get everything done each day! Well, a major blogging breakthrough just released can help you save a LOT of time in your daily marketing duties!

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, our Marketing BlogZine or Captain Affiliate’s Affiliate Marketing Training Blog, then you already know how important blogging regularly is – there simply isn’t a more powerful online tool for driving traffic, promoting affiliate links and building relationships. So in a perfect world you’d be blogging every day, maybe even a few times a day, right?

Yeah, right – like you have time for that, eh? Even for me – and I’m a former reporter with 25+ years of advertising and marketing experience! I can write almost as fast as most people can discuss an idea, yet I still can’t find the time every day to be sure I’m getting posts up to all my various blogs.

So when I saw this new program that makes blogging fast and easy, I knew it was a winner!

Blog Post Automator Software makes blogging simple!

Blog Post Automator post articles to your blog – YOUR articles, uploaded as text files en masse. Until now, you either got snippets of other people’s blog posts, directory articles with links to other people’s sites in them, or nothing. Now you can upload articles you write when YOU have time, PLR articles you’ve modified when YOU have time, or articles you’ve had ghostwritten for you (outsourced).

There are plugins that let you post articles for future publication, but you still have to manually post them one by one. With the Blog Post Automator you just upload 5, 50 or 500 text articles at once – done! Have time one day to write a few more, or take delivery of 25 or 50 from your writer? No worries, just drag them to the folder.

What IS surprising is that they’ve kept the Blog Post Automator under $20 – one time, not monthly. And they’re throwing in the WordPress Unleashed Videos and Advanced WordPress Training e-book as bonuses – seems they really care about helping you succeed with your blogging – another nice change from the big launches lately, isn’t it.

So go ahead and download the Blog Post Automator now and take it for a spin to see what you think – it’s covered by their 100% money-back guarantee, so you really can’t lose on this one.

Claw back dozens, maybe even hundreds of hours from your future by using this great new tool – Happy blogging!

I have to be the first to admit I’m a very lucky man in life. As I sit here a week or two before my 54th birthday, I’m in a position much of the world would happily trade for. I’m not sure what I did to deserve all this, but I’m sure glad I did!

You see, every aspect of my life is excellent and getting better. Having been married twice before and lived with others along the way, at 41 I met Teri – and have been ecstatic ever since. We’ve had 12 wonderful years of being together 24/7 so far, and both agree the only way it could be better is if we could manage 36/7. Internet marketing (me) and niche marketing (Teri) lets us be together 24/7, work the hours we choose, and travel to new and exciting places almost at will…

We have three adult(?) kids, Dawn, Tara & Devon, and couldn’t be prouder of them if we tried. Each of the three is fiercely independant, kind & caring without brooking any nonsense from others. Each enjoys a society brunch or high tea equally with a night in a raunchy blues bar or blaring rock bar, and has the confidence and grace to know how to act appropriately in either situation. On the other side of the coin, much of who we are had it’s roots in our upbringing – Teri & I both have highly intelligent, caring & loving parents that we love dearly and really should see more often.

We’re all lucky enough to live in Canada, still a great country in spite of the nonsense fostered on it by Brian Mulroney, Mike Harris and now little Stevie Harper. And while I’ve never been a fan of cold, snowy weather, it beats the hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes & monsoons other areas suffer through.

Teri & I are also lucky in our choice of professions – we’ve worked online for 12 solid years so far, and both love it. It provides us with a comfortable 6-figure income while offering hope for constant financial improvement, and keeps us busy learning new things every single day – a very valuable asset in any profession of choice. Being a Type-A personality, an in-your-face marketer (by choice), and a self-admitted information junky, the online world is the first ‘employer’ I’ve had that can continue to satisfy my need for input of all types and constant learning.

Teri & I also have been very lucky health-wise; having each lived the ‘wrong lifestyle’ for at least 20 years, we only have one health issue each to deal with – my diabetes and her deteriorating knee. We’ve researched both extensively, consulted the top experts and taken pro-active steps so that neither condition has any negative effects on us or our lifestyle – except that extra piece of pie I wanted a Christmas… ;)

And we’ve been further blessed with a fantastic assortment of family and friends, both local and online. As dyed-in-the-wool hedonists with enough energy to run circles around our kids, we’re not necessarily the easiest people to hang with – yet we’re lucky enough to have a number of very, very close friends and amazing compadres. Many we’ve met online from every area of the world, and at live Internet marketing events. I’ve spoken at events from Ohio to Las Vegas, and we’ve attended & networked at other events from Toronto to Orlando, criss-crossing North America and discovering new sights and making new friends throughout Canada & the US.

Our side business as glamour photographers/videographers keeps our creative juices flowing, and bring us in contact with beautiful models, awesome locations and incredible situations – Teri being hired to photograph Daryl Hannah at the Toronto Film Festival, being able to ‘give back’ by shooting a poster for UNICEF, etc. But the biggest buzz for us is being able to give aspiring glamour models and fitness models a first-class portfolio that will help them start their careers much faster – a level of portfolio they couldn’t afford themselves, and that we can deliver because our mainstay is our Internet marketing, not our photography.

Naturally, as idyllic as our lives are, there are situations that arise – temporary cashflow shortages, issues with our kids, illness/accidents/deaths of those close to us, etc – but we handle those as a team and always manage to make the best of bad situations. We’ve been through enough, before we met and since, to know that ‘like all else, this too shall pass’. We’ve also learned that the universe is constantly testing us all – when things look bleakest we put our faith in the universe and continue on along our charted course. And so far, every time we persevere beyond the point where most give up, the universe has elevated us to the next level – as if rewarding us for passing the next set of ‘life exams’.

So where am I going with all this – and how does it relate to Internet marketing in general and YOU in particular? While I may bitch about situations from time to time, I do realize I’m a very lucky man, and have received far more than I deserve from this world. Maybe I earned it in a previous life, or maybe I have a huge deficit at the kharma bank – but whether to build our balance there or simply bring it up off life-support, it’s time for us to increase our balance there – to give back even more than we have to date.

So during 2009 and beyond, we’re going to redouble our efforts to help others – you and people like you, to take control of your own destinies, to build your own online businesses, and to not merely live, but actually THRIVE – just as we do. If you’re ready to take control, accept full responsibility for your own well-being and that of those you care about, and want to be financially rewarded based on your own efforts instead of relying on the tyranny of bosses and corporations, stay tuned – there’s a lot we can teach you if you’re ready to put in the effort to better your situation.

Bookmark this blog, and sign up for our daily e-zine above. Each day I’ll point you to helpful information, training, tips and products online – that’s my job. Yours is to consider them, use the ones that will be helpful based on your own unique needs and desires, and put in the effort to lift yourself and those you love up to a better lifestyle – as defined by you, not me. As I see it…

2009 is MINE. Want some?

With hope for our collective futures…

Teri & Doug Champigny.

Teri & I love Internet marketing – the business of Internet marketing, the daily activities of Internet marketing, interacting in the Internet marketing industry and the entire Internet marketing lifestyle – being together 24/7, making our own hours, traveling extensively throughout North America, speaking at some Internet marketing conventions and attending others, the comfort level Internet marketing provides financially – we love it all!

But after 12 years online full-time, you know what the best thing is about Internet marketing? The one single thing that makes it all worthwhile – the frosting on the Internet marketing cake?

It’s YOU!

You. The people who read our blogs. The people who visit our websites. The people who read our e-zines. The people who buy our products. The people in our affiliate program. The people we do joint ventures with. The people we meet at the seminars & conventions. The people on our teleseminars and webcasts. ALL of whom we consider our ‘online family’.

Even for a hard-core, in-your-face marketer like me, with a certified Type-A+ personality, it’s meeting You. Hearing how we’ve helped You. Hearing that You’re doing ok, or better than ok online, in small part because of what we do. What makes all of this worthwhile is that You’ve put Your trust in us, had faith in us, and we’ve delivered… Because to Teri & I, the goal of our entire Internet marketing empire is to help You, the people we care about, to enable Your own efforts to live Your dream lifestyle.

You see, helping You achieve that while having a fun and exciting life is OUR dream lifestyle. Yes, the big income and the shiny toys, the travel, prestige and fame are great – I wouldn’t even try to deny that. But it would be too hollow for us if that was the full extent of it – it’s knowing that what we do helps YOU, in Your daily life and the progress towards Your dreams and ambitions that really gives us our buzz…

And that’s why getting to the live public events is so important to us – because that’s where we get to meet You, to hear how You are doing, and to find out what we can do next to help You get to that next level, overcome Your current obstacles, break through the barricades to step that much closer to Your dreams!

This past weekend we had that opportunity again, attending the 2008 World Internet Summit in Toronto, Canada.

And much to our delight, once again we got to meet up with old friends and meet new members of our online family…

A huge Thank You to the people above, and to the other friends, new & old, that we saw & met there – you’ve recharged our batteries and given us the motivation to keep helping all we can. Enough to carry us through Christmas, New Years and right up to the JVAlert Live event in Orlando Florida on February 6, 7 & 8, 2009.

Tell me…

Will YOU Be There?

If there’s any way at all you can make it to JVAlert Live next February, please do – and be sure to look us up when you get there! Don’t be shy – Carol, Eleanor, Dennis & Jit had never met us before, though they were long-time readers of our e-zines. Now they’re new friends we hope will stay in touch – maybe even come down and spend a day in Niagara Falls or Niagara-on-the-Lake with us!

So please, bookmark this blog and watch for updates about the Onlando JVAlert – as soon as our friend Ken McArthur has selected the event hotel and gets the early-bird tickets online, we’ll post all the information right here for our online family. And I mean it – we really do look forward to meeting You at JVAlert Live in 2009!

Is Internet Marketing The Cure For Global Economic Woes?

© 2008 Doug Champigny. All Rights Reserved.

Internet marketing is continually becoming the saviour
for those caught out in the current economic crisis. And
no wonder – just look at what’s going on out there in the
world right now…

Just from today’s headlines, we find that Hewlett-Packard
is getting rid of 24,600 jobs, nearly 8% of it’s workforce
according to Jordan Robertson of the Associated Press. That’s
on top of the 15,000 already forced out by the company’s
restructuring in the last 2 or 3 years. FORTY THOUSAND JOBS
GONE in one company alone, with half of those axed living
in the U.S.A., the rest scattered around the world.

Remember how, not that long ago, we were all told that
computing skills would make us indispensible? Ooops!

Also today, Yahoo! News reports that Lehman Brothers,
the 4th biggest Wall Street firm, had filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection – this is a firm that’s been
operating for 158 years, and a shut down would put
another 24,000 people out of work.

In related news, Bank of America is buying troubled
investment bank Merrill Lynch, the world’s largest
brokerage. Both companies have already layed off
thousands of employees, and no doubt more will follow
where the two firms’ services overlap.

Pretty dire situation, but it could still get a lot
worse. According to the Wall Street Journal, AIG – the
American International Group – is seeking an additional
$40 Billion USD in emergency funds, on top of the $20
Billion USD it already raised earlier this year. That’s
BILLION, with a ‘B’…

But think of how many people, possibly even yourself,
would be affected if AIG, the world’s largest insurance
company, were to fail. While Lehmann is the biggest
bankruptcy in US history in terms of assets, it would
pale by comparison to the collapse of AIG.

These days, perhaps more than any time in history,
people all over the world are experiencing the old
Chinese curse: ‘May you live in interesting times.’

Interesting times indeed! But how can you protect
yourself, your family and your loved ones when the
big ‘Blue-Chip’ firms are faltering, stock markets
are spiralling downward, inflation is running amok
in the fuel, food and related indexes, mortgages are
no longer a safe investment for the rich or available
at all to the middle class?

For a rapidly-growing number of people world-wide,
the answer is self-employment through Internet marketing.
While no firm numbers exist, there are at least tens of
thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands that are now
making money online, from a few extra bucks each month to
keep up with inflation to those earning 6, 7 and 8 figure
incomes online.

Far from the traditional economic model of the ‘normal’
entrepreneur, the Internet marketing business model is
gloabally based, providing something of a hedge from any
country-specific economic woes. The industry operates
24 hours a day 7 days a week, so there’s no concern over
when you work or where you’re online.

Most importantly, there are two major differences from
operating a microenterprise or monoenterprise in the offline
world. First, the industry is based on shared knowledge – no
other industry is as quick to make the ‘business success
secrets’ available to all and asunder. Thousands of Internet
marketers write online newsletters – e-zines – that detail
the steps to success in the industry, explore trends as they
happen, and recommend the sites, services and products one
needs to succeed online in Internet marketing.

The biggest difference, however, is the level of startup
capital required – in fact, one can easily start part-time
without any expenditure beyond their computer and Internet
connection, and use the income they earn to build their
online business into a full-time activity – often generating
far more profits than they’ve ever dreamed of before!

And since no large startup investment is required, the
people who need the income most are able to get started
without going into debt, and debt-free companies always
survive the ups and downs of entrepreneurship with less
difficulty and a greatly reduced incidence of bankruptcy.

Think about it… No major investment, no ‘boss’ to
fire you, no threat to job security from mis-management
or fraud by someone above you, a schedule to fit your
own desired lifestyle, and an income limited only by
your own goals, effort and abilities… No wonder it’s
one of the fastest growing industries world-wide – it
really CAN be YOUR solution to the world’s economic woes!
