So, you’re wondering if it’s worth it to purchase Market Samurai?

I’m gonna say… “YES!” And, give it a huge 2 thumbs up!

Why?  Because of all the keyword research tools out there, and I’ve used ‘em all, Market Samurai is by far the best and here are all the reasons why.

I wouldn’t be able to give a Market Samurai Review without first pointing out that keyword research is perhaps the most important thing you can do before building, updating or blogging on your website.

To know exactly why you should get Market Samurai watch this short video tutorial…

A website without traffic is like posting flyers in the rain forest. You do keyword research to tell you how many searches a keyword phrase gets and how much competition there is on Google and other search engines for that keyword phrase.

My websites rank for various keyword phrases, not just one, and Market Samurai helped me do that.

Reason #1: Market Samurai is easy to use and their video tutorials rock!  It’s a program that you download and install on your computer and it interfaces with Google’s synonym database.  The colorful results pages help you see exactly what you need to do to outrank your competition and it gives you just enough data, without overwhelming you, to accomplish any keyword task.

Reason #2: A Market Samurai Review wouldn’t be accurate without talking about the SEO competition results.  In most cases, the keyword phrases that you choose will have to rank better than the top 10 on Google.  Therefore, knowing exactly what you need to do to outrank them is key.  Market Samuari accomplishes this task by focusing not only on off site optimization but on site as well.  It gives you a very good snapshot of the top 10 and let’s you know where you can one-up the competition.

Reason #3: RESULTS!  I’ve been getting awesome results  on Google for not only long tail keyword phrases like “advanced piano lessons” or “Linus and Lucy sheet music” but also for short keyword phrases as well such as “business training” and “piano music”.  Knowing exactly what I need to do to rank is very important and Market Samurai does that for me.

Reason #4: Cost.  This software is inexpensive.  Last time I checked it was just under $100.  To me, it’s worth 10 times that much.  Imagine what one good keyword ranking on Google could do for your business.  It’s a no brainer.

This Market Samurai Review is based on using the software for almost a year.  In fact, I was likely one of the first people to download it. Like I said, I don’t post any content online without running it by Market Samurai first. Guessing my keyword phrases is not an option and not a good plan.

This Market Samurai Review includes a screen shot of the SEO Competition Analysis Page.

So, if you’re looking for an unbiased Market Samurai Review, there you have it.  I give it 5 Stars *****

Dear Steve,

Sept 7th 2006, I joined the Million Dollar Experiment and made my intention very public on my blog.
I was just doing a spring clean up on my blog, I found my million dollar intention post. As a starving jazz artist, I was hopeful, but still a bit mystified how I would receive a million dollars. Fast forward 4 years, and I didn’t win the lottery, nor did a stranger hand me over a million in cash.

However, I have certainly created more than 1 million in wealth, and I’m going for 10 million.

It started with the intention, and your experiment gave me the opportunity to write down my intention and make it public.  There was no going back! I was deeply committed.

One of my mentors bought me a book filled with empty pages and the title is “life is not about finding yourself, it’s about CREATING yourself” and as the song goes “the rest is still unwritten”.  It’s truly up to each individual to create/write what will be in those pages. I was open to your experiment, even if I didn’t have any evidence of “how” it would work to make one million, I just trusted that it would.  It seemed like an impossible amount of money, but my faith muscle was strong, and I just wanted to let you know how real this was for me. The true pleasure is that I was able to help hundreds, or thousands of others along the way.

I was a bit naive when I posted the 7th of Sept 2006. But as a re-read it now, I see evidence of a deep commitment to create my reality. I have promoted your site to my graduates and would encourage you to keep the Million Dollar Experiment alive.  Your experiment has ripple effects into the world, one ripple at a time.  The tide shifted for me.  I want to send you heartfelt thanks for all of your work.

Your purpose and the work you do through your blog, has served me over the last 4 years.  I took an “idea” given birth on your site, and took massive action to create my reality.  I have been very blessed, but I certainly could not take all the credit.  Your site and your work has served as one of the beacons on my path, and I think its important for me to acknowledge that.

Congrats on great work, wishing you continued success on your journey.

What’s up with Social Media these days?
Why is it that most businesses still
seem to be floundering about online; making all
kinds of newbie marketing mistakes?

Think about it?  Do YOU want to be marketed
to; on a platform that was designed to be
social?  No, of course not.

So, why is it that businesses continue to spill
out “all about us” marketing messages
when,  all most people want to do is share
ideas and socially interact?

In my world, which I like to call “the real world
of results,” there are only a couple of choices
you can make that actually work within the
framework of social media.

If you don’t know what they are, maybe it’s
time you attended one of our upcoming “Marketing
and Mastery” courses and get filled in on
what’s really happening out there in the
internet universe!

Yes, Social Media Marketing does work.  The
question is: “Do you really know how TO MAKE IT WORK?”

Join me for the next preview training on

Social Media Training Toronto, or in Calgary, New York, California and more…and I’ll let
you in on a couple of real hidden gems that
you can sink your marketing teeth into.

Or, you can do like most businesses do and
let the digital world pass you by.

Here’s an interesting little fact you might want to know
however;  In my most recent Marketing and
Mastery preview courses, in front of hundreds
of businesses throughout Canada and the USA, NOT ONE single person knew the
real hidden power of social media.

That power is crucial to your online presence
and cannot be ignored. Think about where
you’re trying to get then ask yourself what is
the quickest way to get there?
