If you remember last November I had a Football+Internet marketing charity fundraiser where I auctioned off consulting with myself, Â?2 football tickets to the Iowa VS. Nebraska game, and a really cool private event with legendary football coaches Hayden Fry and Tom Osbourne.
The 2 guys that one came down and we had a great time:
They have a really awesome site called Heistit.
Which from time to time they run these time sensitive limited deals that have tons of great software for a very low price.
For instance right now they are offering for only $97:
That’s $2,600 in Top Business Apps for just $97!
Pretty sweet. But remember there bundles are only good for a few days when they launch so get in on this while you can!

Must Have Internet Marketing Tools For Low Price
Boise, ID (PRWEB) February 17, 2012
Traditional marketing is floundering and the next generation of marketing jobs will go to those people who can adapt to advertising’s migration to hand-held devices such as smart phones and tablets.
That’s according to DotComSecrets Local founder and president Russell Brunson, who announced this week that his company is seeking to fill local marketing jobs with people interested in making thousands per week in their spare time and from their own homes.
Brunson said local businesses need to adapt to the changing face of advertising because traditional vehicles – such as newspaper and television advertising -- are collapsing. Replacing them are white hot internet marketing platforms that targets such popular websites as Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Groupon. This kind of marketing costs less, reaches more people, and is more effective at targeting specific consumers, he said.
Jobseekers are invited to attend one of three free webinars this week sponsored by DCS Local. But only 300 spots were webinar will be opened, and people seeking local jobs will be admitted on a first-come, first served basis. Anyone interested in making money in their spare time from home should act fast to sign up for one of the webinars.
DCS Local specializes in linking local businesses with internet marketing experts. Brunson started the company after he recognized that many small business owners were missing out on the marketing opportunities created by the rapid explosion of the internet, and instead were still foolishly wasting their money on traditional advertising, which is more expensive and ineffective.
“We want to help these small businesses and we have the resources to do it,” Brunson said. “We’re just missing one thing that we need to reach them: A local presence. We need somebody on the ground.”
Brunson said his company is looking for offline internet marketing consultants who can connect small businesses in their area with DCS Local. The company will provide all the training and no prior sales or marketing experience is required.
Brunson is a self-made internet success story who is an associate of famed motivational speaker Tony Robbins and international businessman Richard Branson. Now he wants to expand his offline internet marketing company throughout the US.
When DCS Local consultants bring small local businesses to Brunson’s company, they get a share of the business proceeds. Some consultants already are making more than $8,000 per month while working part time and out of their own home. Plus they provide no real product or service and the do very little actual work.
And some consultants with no prior sales or marketing experience began earning paychecks from their very first day.
Previous webinars filled up within just a few hours and thousands were turned away. Once the 300 spots in each of the three DCS Local webinars are filled, no more will be opened up.
During the webinars, participants will learn how they can earn thousands per week simply by connecting local businesses with DCS Local. The company will then work with the businesses to build effective marketing campaigns that will grow their businesses exponentially.
Webinar participants also will learn how DCS Local chapters in their home towns can help them become highly paid consultants while working part time from their own homes, while doing no actual work other than making connections between local businesses and the company.
And DCS Local will even provide all the tools consultants will need to make the sale every time, regardless of their prior sales or marketing experience.
Brunson warned those people who want to learn how they can start making thousands of dollars per week while working part time from their own homes should not risk being left out in the cold. Interested participants need to sign up fast before all the positions are filled.
Participants can sign up for one of this week’s three webinars by visiting:

Fresh Harvest Announces Formal Development of a Digital and Social Media Marketing Plan
Do blood and guts belong on the front page?
What you didn’t see and should have seen
On Wednesday, the Bangkok Post carried a front page photograph of an alleged Iranian terrorist who, in a mishap, had ended up blowing both of his own legs off. It was a gruesome and bloody picture, and a controversial decision to put it on the front page. But it was the right decision.
And it reminded me of a photograph in the Singapore Straits Times that I had seen a few weeks earlier in a hotel in Shan State, Myanmar, where I was on a work assignment. Carried on an inside page, the rather startling photograph showed the body of a young man who had been found unconscious and blood-stained on the floor of an underground passageway.
His name was not given, nor was it revealed whether he survived. Indeed, there was relatively little text. The photograph was the attention-grabber.
Just a day before this, I had read in the International Herald Tribune a story about a video of the beheading of two men in Indonesia’s South Sumatra Province. The killings on the video, which was shown to a parliamentary human rights commission, were reportedly carried out by security forces hired to protect a palm oil plantation.
The reports immediately made me think of two other incidents involving photographs or videos of tragic deaths – and the question of whether they should be published or not.
The first occurred in Phnom Penh just over a year ago, when a young woman, Jessica Claire Thompson, a journalist on The Cambodia Daily, was found dead of an apparent drug overdose.
While the details surrounding the tragedy quickly became well known to other journalists, there was a tacit agreement not to publicize it in order to protect the feelings of a fellow member of the profession and of the other three journalists who were with Thompson at the time. Consequently, aside from a few brief lines, no details of Thompson’s demise, nor photographs of her corpse, were published in the English-language press in Cambodia.
Conversely, the second case, which occurred a decade ago and was far more grisly, was fully covered in a proper professional manner by the media. It involved the infamous incident, later to form the basis for a movie, when Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal correspondent, was kidnapped and decapitated by terrorists in Karachi, Pakistan.
All of America’s print media and television stations reported the story in detail, because it was of great public interest. They did not hold back because it involved a member of the profession.
The Boston Phoenix newspaper even published a photograph of Pearl’s severed head – and some sensitive souls misguidedly chastised it for doing this. But the photograph appeared with an editorial defending the paper’s move and the provision of a link on its website to a video of Pearl’s execution. The Phoenix publisher said his decision to carry the picture “came from my gut, from my brain, from my heart.” He claimed it was no different to other publications running similar pictures in the past.
He referred to photographs of a dead American soldier being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, to an alleged Viet Cong man being shot in the head, and to a baby’s corpse being carried out of the bombed Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
Of these earlier examples, perhaps the most well-known, and still the most shocking, is that of the execution of a Viet Cong suspect in Saigon (as Ho Chi Minh City was then called). It happened on February 1, 1968, just before Tet, the Vietnamese lunar New Year. At that time, a VC offensive had split the city’s defences and reached the gates of the United States Embassy.
Eddie Adams, an Associated Press photographer, went out with a colleague to check on reports of fighting in Saigon’s Chinatown area of Cholon. They encountered some soldiers who had nabbed an alleged VC infiltrator. The man, dressed in boxers and a casual check shirt, had his arms tied behind his back.
Lt.-Col. Nguyen Loan, the police chief of South Vietnam, suddenly appeared, took out a pistol and pointed it at the man’s head.
“I had no idea he would shoot,” said Adams.
But Loan did shoot — and Adams clicked his camera. A second later, the suspect slumped to the ground, blood gushing from his head. The picture was a sensation. It horrified people around the world and galvanized the anti-war movement.
No one argued that it should not be published. In fact, it was constantly reprinted and enlarged, even appearing on placards across the country. Yet it shows a Vietnamese man being callously murdered. A man whose family, like that of Pearl, would recognize him and be distraught at the image of his violent demise.
Of course, he was seen as a yellow Asian Communist, not a white Jewish American. Pictures of Pearl’s head are unlikely to appear on placards across the US, nor are those of Jessica Thompson and her three young colleagues likely to appear on anti-drug placards in Cambodia.
The second photo mentioned by the Phoenix editors was taken on October 4, 1993, by Paul Watson, working for Canada’s Star newspaper. He was one the few journalists still in Somalia when American Marines, attempting to quell Mogadishu’s feuding warlords, got trapped in a skirmish after two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down.
The body of one American soldier killed in the firefight was later dragged around the streets by Somali gunmen. Watson took pictures of it. The soldier’s dusty, mutilated corpse is naked except for his military underpants. A local woman is prodding the body with her foot, another is poised to whack it with a sheet of tin roofing.
There was a massive outcry when this picture was published. For though the soldier was not identified, he was an all-American boy, not some skinny Vietnamese peasant.
The final picture recalled by the Phoenix newspaper was shot by Charles Porter, again of AP, on April 19, 1995.
That was when white American terrorists blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Porter’s photograph shows a firefighter cradling the corpse of a bloody, dirt-covered baby. It tugs the heart strings, but unlike the Vietnam and Somalia photos, it does not capture man’s inhumanity to man.
“The horror, the horror,” as Kurtz puts it, in Joseph Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness’.
The picture of Pearl’s head captures that horror. That is why it was right to publish it. So, too, does the bloody legless terrorist in Bangkok last week and the gruesome beheading video taken in Indonesia. And so, in a different way, does the photograph of Thompson’s body illustrate the horrors consequent upon wanton drug use by misguided youth. But let’s be brutally honest and admit that there is another consideration.
We get a vicarious pleasure from viewing such pictures. We want to see them and we watch videos and buy publications that carry them. So please don’t give me a lot of thees, thous and thems about good taste, morality and the right to privacy. It’s just hypocritical hogwash.
The Phoenix and the other papers, including the Straits Times, got their picture and ran with it. Well done. Aside from boosting their profile, they enable us to confront the horror. That we must do, if we are to keep it at bay. Otherwise, in the end, it will consume us all.
