Which Press Release Do You Like Better?
I wrote up two press releases about The Really Simple Method.
Editor’s Note: As I wrote about earlier today, we’ve helped over 2,000 people make money on the internet. The Really Simple Method is compelling because we provide value and the ecourse is free.
In any event, to spread the word about The Really Simple Method, I wrote up two press releases: short version, long version. Both are posted below. Which one do you like better? Why?
Sidebar: I’m looking for great press releases to do a better job. Good examples are very hard to find, that is certain.
LONG VERSION
John S. Rhodes writes, “The Really Simple Method is a free ecourse on internet marketing that we created back in July 2007. When we launched it, we never expected to reach more than 500 people. However, just a few days ago we passed the 2,000 member milestone.”
Unlike many other ecourses on internet marketing, The Really Simple Method does not cost anything. Furthermore, it includes two high quality videos.
The Rhodes Brothers show you how to upload files to a web site using a free FTP tool, step by step. They also show you how to create a PayPal “Buy Now” button. But there’s more, including advice on how to buy and sell the right products to make money online.
Many of the 2,000+ members have provided positive feedback about The Really Simple Method. John S. Rhodes explains, “Everyone loves a good deal. This one is hard to pass up. We clearly explain how to make money on the internet using a tried-and-true method and it’s free. How can anyone turn that offer down? No wonder it gets great reviews.”

Really Simple Method — Update
A few days ago I wrote Planting the Seeds of Wealth. I was talking to my brother about the article and he got very mad at me.
He told me that I was a liar!
As it turns out we’ve helped a lot of people with The Really Simple Method. I stated in Planting the Seeds of Wealth that we had 730 registered members. But, that isn’t even close.
We have well over 2,100 registered members. Although this makes me a “liar” it also means that we’ve helped thousands of people get started with internet marketing.
Why have over 2,100 registered? Simple. We give people a realistic process to follow to make money online in very little time. We give away some “secrets” but there’s more.
Inside The Really Simple Method, we give members access to 2 free videos: How to Set Up a PayPal Button as well as How to Use FileZilla to Upload Files to Your Webhost. Again, just by joining this FREE ecourse, you get access to these videos.
I know if seems like it, I’m not really trying to sell The Really Simple Method. It’s now a very small part of our internet marketing empire. I’m writing this to tell you that you can plant “seeds” that continue to grow and grow.
We’ve been able to help over 2,100 members. That’s obviously good for them, but it also provides clear evidence that you can create an busienss asset that will continue to provide value months — or even years — after you create it.
I would also strongly recommend that you work hard to create real, long-term assets. Don’t just shoot for short term cash, unless you re-invest that cash into assets that generate long term wealth.
It’s too easy to burn out if you keep working for short term cash. You want many funnels of cash, that provide value to you on autopilot. Balance is key.
Planting the Seeds of Wealth
I just wanted to let some folks know — especially “new” folks — that your effort today will probably pay off in the future. You’re investing in your future, if you’re doing things right.
Two examples…
A long time ago, I set up a free course with my brother. The purpose was to help educate people on a topic but to also build our own list.
Editor’s Note: Here’s a similar ecourse — The Really Simple Method
Well, over time, that ecourse has generated about 730 list members. And, these folks are pretty loyal to us since we offered up great information for free — just their name and email.
Editor’s Note: High quality content + Squeeze page = list building power!
In essence, that ecourse is running on autopilot. It sits there, delivering value and building our list. We sell to that list, and it converts pretty well. Rock on!
The second investment I’ll mention here is a series of 3 ebooks we gave away for free more than a year ago.
These little ebooks contained a lot of affiliate links, but they were also high quality. Short, yes, but high quality.
Editor’s Note: Did you know that The Rhodes Brothers have an affiliate program?
Now, we expected a lot of affiliate sales. We expected the ebooks to go “viral” like crazy hot sausages. But…
They didn’t.
Don’t be shocked. If you expect instant success by spreading your digital goods all over the place, you’re in for a world of pain.
Look, this stuff takes time.
OK, so why do I mention these ebooks? Two quick reasons. Many people have found our blog through those ebooks — even if they don’t buy, we get some traffic from work we did a long time ago. Second, we do make about 1-2 sales per week ($17-19) from them.
Don’t “poo poo” that amount. It’s about $1,000 per year when you do the math and add it up.
Building an empire takes a long time, for most people. What you do now can pay off long term. Plant those acorns. Plan for the growth.
Enjoy the oak trees!
