I am coming to you from aboard Crown Princess, a cruise ship operated by Princess Cruise Lines. I’m out in the middle of the Caribbean Sea right now, and cruising back to Ft. Lauderdale.

We continue laying out your Internet strategy. In this video, I talk about actually setting up your website. How do you get a blog set up? How do you avtually process orders on the Internet? This video isn’t a complete walk-through (we will do that later), however it will give you an overview of what is needed so that you can begin getting your site...

We continue laying out your Internet strategy as we begin day 3 of “3 Day Money”. In this video, I talk about creating your product. Creating an information product to sell isn’t as hard as you might think it is. It can actually be very easy. In fact, there are several...

OK, Friday has arrived. That means tomorrow I am going on a much needed vacation with my wife. It also means that it is time to unleash what we’re going to be doing differently with our membership program in 2009. First, here are the three videos I’ve done this week already:Feedback from PCMech Members [Video #1] Explanation of PCMech Membership...

Good and bad. And whether they sting or not. I get asked everything from the usual questions, to questions about whether I’m a scam. I take them all. Here is the...

In this second of four videos this week about the PCMech Premium membership program, I wanted to clarify something. Some people find themselves confused on whether this program is about internet business or about computers. In this video, I explain my philosophy behind this membership program. You’ll also get a little view into my office and my house...

Last night, I posted a quick testimonial from a member of our PCMech University program. Today, I created a video where I’ll take you behind the scenes and into our survey system. I wanted to share with you the feedback that I have gotten from University members, direct from them. That video is below. Now, this is the first of 4 videos I will be posting...

Over the weekend, I ran a survey of all subscribers to PCMech as well as to existing members of PCMech University. I got a lot of great feedback, but one testimonial came in from Miguel in Orlando, FL (last name withheld for his privacy). I thought it was rather inspirational so I thought I would share it: I first got a PCMech e-mail about 4 months ago. 2 months...
