The Brain Evolution System is a binaural beats meditation system.

This makes it a competitor to some other systems that I’ve reviewed, such as Centerpointe and the Meditation Program.

I got sent a review copy of Brain Evolution in early November 2008 and have listened to each of the six CDs (obviously not for the recommended month per CD!) in the set.

As you may know, my previous favorite binaural beats system is the Meditation Program. And that’s still the case.

Article Marketing Automation is a hidden gem that I’ve only just discovered.

It has two sides:

• A system to publish quality articles to your blogs, either automatically or after you’ve approved them.
• A system to publish your articles to other people’s blogs.

Both are really easy to implement and you’re in control, so you don’t get rubbish on your site.

Unless you’re a politician, you probably think we’re in a recession: gas prices are through the roof, food prices are on the up, energy prices have risen, everything seems to cost more.

Which is where the Recession Rescue System comes in. Read the rest of this entry »

If you read almost any book on internet marketing, you’ll be told to research your keywords.

OK, but where to start and which keyword tools should you believe?

If the book you’re reading is old (or at least old in internet marketing terms), you’ll likely see a reference to Overture. This used to be Yahoo’s keyword tool but it is no longer around.

So you can use a free tool like Google’s keyword tool. Or you can use a paid-for service like Wordtracker.

If you want to listen to subliminal recordings, you have two main options:

• Purchase a pre-recorded subliminal CD
• Make your own subliminal recordings

Whilst you can find out online what you need to do, Subliminal Studio is a shortcut and provides all the tools you need in one convenient set.

Cosmic Ordering is credited by Noel Edmonds as being responsible for his return to UK television after an absence of several years.

As you’ll be aware if you’ve searched Amazon, there are quite a few books on the subject including books by Barbel Mohr and Stephen Richards, whose Cosmic Ordering Guide was my introduction to the subject.

The idea of Cosmic Ordering is that you decide on what you want and then place your “order” with the cosmos, which then delivers on your order. The idea isn’t new - Napoleon Hill and Wallace D Wattles both talked of very similar ideas - but the methodology has become more precise. Both these authors taught that every idea has to be thought about before it can come into reality and essentially they both said that the more you think about something, the more likely it is to come into your life.

The new works on Cosmic Ordering take this to another level.

Having read Stephen Richards’ book, I was intrigued and went on to find the Advanced Cosmic Ordering secrets (look at that link but don’t buy it from there. I’ll explain why later). Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been using Centerpointe Holosync for some years now and have reached their Purification level 2, which means I’m about half way through their program. Most people who know me say that I’ve improved for the better over the years I’ve been listening to it.

It’s a good system - I wouldn’t have been using it for so long if it wasn’t - but I’m always open to new ideas.

Recently, I came across the Meditation Program (look at that link but don’t buy it from there. I’ll explain why later). It makes some pretty bold claims. So let’s examine some of them:

They say that Centerpointe is mind-numbing, dis-engaging and outdated. Mind-numbing and dis-engaging I’d agree with. The first CD track is 30 minutes of rainfall with occasional chimes, the second CD track is 30 minutes of rainfall. But then you’re supposed to be dropping down to lower and lower levels of brain activity, so I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing. After all, the aim of Centerpointe is to drop you down to deeper brain levels. It’s not aimed at the top 30 charts. Besides, I’ve been listening to these CDs for years now and find them kind of relaxing. So I guess that’s a kind of “horses for courses” criticism.

Moving on to the outdated claim. As a layman, I’m not particularly qualified to decide on that. But Holosync is, by Centerpointe’s own admission, a 20 year old technology. So when it was “born” the CD had only recently been invented, cell (or mobile) phones were just about “luggable”, the iPod wasn’t even a twinkle in Apple’s eye and your average PC came with a 5.25″ floppy disk and, if you were rich, a hard disk that might hold one low resolution picture taken by a modern digital camera. So the odds are that, yes, Meditation Program’s claim that Holosync is outdated is quite likely. Of course, outdated doesn’t mean “doesn’t work”, just that there could be something newer and better available.

Certainly the Meditation Program is quicker than Centerpointe. The Purification level CD I’ve got says that it will take a year or more for me to complete just the current level I’m on. I’d agree and, from past experience, it would probably take me personally nearer to 18 months to get through the level.

Meditation Program only has 8 levels. Each one can be completed in around a week, maybe stretching to 10 days per level if you want to take it easy. I’m currently on my third week and listening to level 3, so I’d agree with that timescale.

The backing sounds are more varied. There’s music swirling around. And the music changes after levels 1 and 2 to something different on 3 and 4. So you won’t get bored.

The binaural beats are a lot more obvious on Meditation Program. A lot more obvious. With Centerpointe, they’re barely noticeable. With Meditation Program they’re very obvious. I don’t know whether this is good or bad. My guess is that it makes no difference - your brain will notice them whichever way they are presented.

Centerpointe allows subliminal messages to be encoded on the CDs once you get past the initial level. Meditation Program doesn’t offer this. Whether this matters to you depends on your view on subliminal messages. But it could be fairly irrelevant when you look at the next point.

The full Centerpointe program will take years to complete and at a shade under $200 for the first level and then a dozen more levels to go through over the years, it’s going to set you back quite a lot of cash.

The Meditation Program costs $125 on CD or $85 to download. The downloadable version is cheaper when you buy it through the discounted links later on in this review. It will take you around 8 weeks to complete if you fast track it, up to about 8 months if you want to be more relaxed in your progress. Either way, there will be plenty of cash left over to buy subliminal CDs to your heart’s content.

So, what’s my overall verdict?

Well, although I really like Centerpointe and have done for years, I’ve moved across to the Meditation Program for my daily listening routine. Partly because I’m impatient and want to reach the deepest level sooner than 2014, which is the absolute earliest I’d reach it with Centerpointe. Rather than some time late February or early March this year, which is when I’ll reach it with  Meditation Program.

One other thing to mention. Centerpointe is CD only, so it arrives through the post. Meditation Program has the option of being sent on CD (you’ll get all 8 levels when you order) or you can download it. If you opt to download, make sure you’re on a fast connection. If you’re on dialup or slow broadband, it will be quicker to order by post. The files are b-i-g. About 800Mb.

But if you’re on a good internet connection, save yourself some extra cash by using one of these two discounted order links:

Meditation program, discounted download, credit card

Meditation program, discounted download, PayPal

Those links will take you straight through to a specially discounted price of $67.

Whichever method you choose, I think you’ll notice a positive difference in yourself.

A guy called Richard Earl is giving away information that you’d normally expect to pay big money for.

It’s practical, down to earth stuff that could make the difference between you spending money on internet marketing and actually making some cash for a change.

The package is free (so long as you’re happy to give up your name and email address) and includes:

• Traffic Goldmines, which is currently selling on its own for $97. If you don’t use anything else in the package, these ideas will bring you in a decent amount of traffic. There’s info on using YouTube, making the most of the giveaways that crop up from time to time and how to turn yourself into an authority in your chosen niche.
• Effective sales letter writing - a 5 step process that will help you at least understand sales letters even if you don’t want to write your own.
• An ebook on 26 psychological triggers will open your eyes to where you’re being “sold” without even being aware of it.
• A tutorial on using CamStudio (the free predecessor to Camtasia). This is a quick and easy start to producing “videos” for sites like YouTube. I’ve put the word videos in quotes as the ones you’ll be taught are really closer to Powerpoint presentations than they are to Hollywood blockbusters.
• FTP and Wordpress setup. FTP is easy once you know how, so I skipped that one. But the Wordpress setup was good - I’m gradually adding the suggested plug-ins to the various blogs I write.

My verdict: highly usable information that I’d have been happy to pay at least $197 for. I’ve certainly got more value out of this free package than I’ve received out of many of the internet marketing ebooks I’ve bought.

You will get emails but you won’t be flooded with them.

Is there a catch? Kind of. There’s an extra package called Dominance Marketing, which will be available in February. This won’t be included for free. But by the time it comes out, you’ll know enough about Richard Earl and his methods to decide whether or not to send him any cash. And if you’ve actually implemented the methods he’s teaching for free, you won’t care about the cost of the extra package.

But don’t take my word for it. Grab over $100 in value in exchange for your name and email by signing up for Rising Dawn Marketing. I think you’ll find it a refreshing change from the usual internet marketing theory.

I’ve recently joined a program called $1k in 10 Days.

It’s free to join and despite being free it gives solid information, which in itself is a refreshing change.

What do you get in exchange for your name and email address?
An online course for getting cash in. Fast.

Without the usual hassle of getting traffic to a website, spending dollars on unreliable pay per click ads, etc.

The program needs you to spend a bit more money ($47) in the (very likely) event that you won’t have the tools on your hard drive already.

You’ll then be set to follow the comprehensive video instructions and read the various web pages and PDF’s.

You’ll need to set aside an hour or so after you sign up to watch them all.

I’ve bought quite a lot of internet money making stuff and was kicking myself when I got this course.

The methods have been staring me in the face. In fact, I’ve even used one of them before to promote a product but hadn’t applied this information to other products. Duh!

The course teaches you how to create products to sell. Don’t panic. They’re easy to create - I managed three in one day without breaking a sweat. If you can type and press “next” then you can do this.
Apart from the $47 on software, there’s a one off $19 to promote your newly created product. Or when you get serious about this method, you can send me an email and I’ll let you know the software that I use that does the same thing. If you’re planning on promoting more than 4 or 5 products over the next 12 months, the software I suggest will pay for itself rather than using his submission service.

Is $1k in 10 Days worth it?

Yes. So long as you are actually going to use the information you get. But then that applies to most everything.

You will almost certainly need to spend the $47 for the three recommended pieces of software. If you’ve even got one of them (or anything similar) on your hard drive, I’d be surprised.

Once you’ve digested the free information, set your subconscious to work on what to produce first. Or use the samples that come with the software.

Then set aside a couple hours to produce your first product.

Use the $19 service to dip your toe in the water for the easiest promotion you’ve had on the internet since FFA sites used to work. No, you’re not spamming anyone with this service and it’s not going to trigger any search engine penalties in the way that FFA sites have been known to do. You won’t get tons of rubbish in your email box either, although you will get confirmation emails that your product has been listed for free. Instantly on quite a lot of occasions. Now there’s something you haven’t seen for years!

You may have seen the publicity about the Science of Getting Rich.

It’s a book from the early 1900’s by a man called Wallace D Wattles.

Bob Proctor has recently revamped his audio course about the book, you can find out more details about what he’s done at this link.

I bought the course a number of years ago, when it was published by Nightingale Conant (and when it didn’t cost almost $2,000!). I also went to a weekend seminar based on Bob Proctor’s interpretation of the book.

The ideas in Science of Getting Rich are timeless. The thought processes involved are similar to those expressed later by Napoleon Hill in “Think and Grow Rich”. Anything that you strongly and vividly imagine for long enough will manifest itself. The same ideas are expressed in the “Secret” that’s also popular at the moment.

Because of when it was written, the language in Science of Getting Rich is archaic. Which is where Bob Proctor’s help comes in - he takes you through the book and helps interpret the ideas in modern day English. There are also a number of exercises that come with the program, asking questions based on your reading of the book and how it has changed your thought processes.

Is it worth spending almost $2,000 on an interpretation of a book you can get for free here? That depends on how you learn. If you are happy reading a book and working out what to do with the information, then the answer should be obvious.

If you need the structure of a course, Bob Proctor’s interpretation is exceptional. Follow it through and you’ll see the changes in your life.

If, on the other hand, almost $2,000 is a stretch at the moment then I’d strongly suggest that you download your copy of Science of Getting Rich here. Read the book. Then if, like me, you find it’s a struggle to interpret but you realize that the underlying ideas are excellent, check out the “set your own price” tutorial that’s linked inside the book.

That’s certainly the route I’d take today if I came across Science of Getting Rich for the first time.
The ideas in Science of Getting Rich are powerful ones. You can use them to transform your life. The language used is strange to our modern eyes, no question about that. If you need help interpreting sentences like “No thought of form can be impressed upon Original Substance without causing the creation of the form.” then some kind of study program to go alongside the book will be priceless.

Of course, the option to get the book together with the added value from Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield and Dr Beckfield is the deluxe option. If you’re truly serious about becoming rich and are motivated enough to follow through with the ideas, then Bob Proctor’s version of Science of Getting Rich is highly recommended.

Whichever route you take, follow through. That’s where most of us don’t quite succeed. We start off with the best intentions and then life gets in the way.

Whichever method you choose to get hold of Science of Getting Rich, make sure you actually read it and use the ideas and methods to transform your life.
