On today’s Mike From Maine Show I talk with Anton Kraly about his super-successful drop shipping company. He tells me all about his humble beginnings with eBay and how he worked his way up to $1.8 million in sales. Stuff mentioned in the show The Four Hour System (affiliate)- Anton’s drop shipping course Hello, Let me start by saying I feel extremely honored to be able to share my personal story with you… If you are on this website I would bet that you are in a similar situation to where I was almost seven years ago. Trapped in a 9 -5 job, living paycheck to paycheck but knowing that there is more out there for you. Knowing that you deserve more out of life and knowing that you have what it takes to achieve it. And if you are like me you will stay at that job for the security of your paycheck. You will research different ways to make money online but you will be afraid to really “pull the trigger”. Afraid to fully immerse yourself in a new business venture due to fear of failure. I need you now to suspend that disbelief for at least the next few moments. Alksense.com – Anton’s website Four Hour Millionaires Training Course – Product Creation Process As many readers know, I make money online using various Internet Marketing channels. The Four Hour Millionaires training course is a new Clickbank product that I just released this past Saturday (12/1/2012) which outlines everything I do to make money via eCommerce while working four hours or less per day. I’ve thought about creating this course since I first starting making REAL money online but the timing was never right. I was hesitant because although I know my techniques work, I didn’t know if I would be able to clearly explain how I do what I do to people who want to learn.

It wasn’t always that way… Lots of ‘trying to get started’ stories. Feel free to read a little bit more. It really is a pleasure to connect with you. Today we have a strategy for earning income online that involves finding and solving problems for everyday people by developing software and systems. I have a number of key websites up and running with our products and systems. Moving forward the big focus is on development of systems in a few areas such as mobile technology and social media. The days of being tied to a desk – and having to work 80 hours a week in a job don’t need to be a reality. In truth – anyone can do what I do – You need to learn. Learn different methods, strategies and techniques. My journey online started in 2008 when my first daughter was born. I was working in the coperate world. Dedicated to the job… thinking it was the only way forward. Sound familiar? I know many people who have said the same. but – (personal philosphy….) It doesn’t matter if you are 15 or 80. The internet is the playground for all. Every single person can follow a success strategy and earn good money online. I look forward to sharing stories with you. What is working and what isn’t. As well as showing the world through some different eyes – the same eyes that can watch my 2 beautiful children grow up and enjoy the feeling of pushing forward…. on my own terms. It is GREAT to meet you. Yours Sincerely. Walt Bayliss

Plus get your free membership to the all-new PS Mastermind Blog Strategy Archive. No fancy preamble. We’re going to jump right into the middle of my favorite Blogging Commandment. We’ll start here - What is your cost per visitor? How about – cost per subscriber? These two numbers will show how effective your blog efforts have been in the last week, month, or year. You might ask, blogging is free, so how do I figure out your fancy numbers? First let’s agree that blogging is not free. You spend time writing posts, finding images, and publishing. Let’s say that you spend 5 hours a week on blogging tasks. Next determine how much someone else would pay you for that time. When I was working a full-time corporate job I took my hourly billable rate and multiplied it by 5. For example sake, we’ll say that I was paid $20 an hour. Making my blogging cost equal to $100/week (5 hours x $20/hour). Over the year that roughly came to $5,200. Now if my blog attracted 5,200 visitors over the same period then my cost per visitor would be $1 ($5,200/5200 visitors). My goal is to decrease my cost per visitor. I can do that by getting more blog readers or lowering my per hour cost. Sponsors WSO of the Day - Sneaky Strategies To ‘Hijack’ Product Launches
