My past and current customers have received the first 120 pages of the new Blast Guide 6.0! Free update of course - always is!

I have around 60 pages that I’m finishing up and hope to complete within the week. Once that is done, I will release the guide to everyone!

I only release a new major version (like 6.0) when there has been a major expansion of the guide and other significant changes.

In this case, there are not major changes to the method itself to much!

The significant changes which I’ll highlight below are more in the organization and delivery of the training.

I’ve been taking my time reading every single word and sentence.

Some of the changes you’ll see are:

• I have added, improved or modified examples
• I’ve changed the wording on a lot of stuff to make it easier to understand
• I’ve tried to explain some things better, emphasis important ideas and expounded on a few things
• Updated illustrations
• I’ve added text boxes to break out ideas I want to highlight and create side notes
• The steps are now broken out more and reflect what we are all doing today in terms of the use of tools etc.
• It also references and links out to the the Blast Membership and forum in some instances

The method itself hasn’t really changed. I’ve mainly improved the training itself. If there are major changes to method itself I’d update the sections it effects immediately.

I made a major move not long ago to combine the Blast Guide & Membership (before they were sold separate). This is a huge advantage both for you and me now. I am able to connect and link to areas of the membership in the guide to enhance and expand on the training.

Future updates will connect more and more to our dynamic environments.

Also, each time I update I have more coaching under my belt. I’ve helped many people since the last update and that is reflected in some of the additions or adjustments you’ll see.

This also comes with a new guide called “Blasting in a Nutshell”.. it a quick start guide of sorts summarizing the method.

Forward Progress!

For those of you that have purchased the Blast Package, you know you get lifetime updates. That means all updates, new versions of the Blast Guide, the other guides, even new bonuses and supporting material added.

The last major update was early this year.. around Feb, March 2007.

It’s time for another. I update the package in some way a few times a year.

I actually wanted to post this because I thought for the first time I’d ask for some feedback. The guide is for you afterall. It’s not for me.

I’ve been listening to you and I am already adding some more things including a “Quick Reference”.

Besides minor updates to the Blast Guide, this update will also include total updates to:

• Adwords Primer3 (Updated & Released!)
• Landing Pages 101 Guide - This is actually going to be split apart and I’m going to be going into more detail..
• The Ad Group Clustering Guide

Between the Blast Guide and Adwords Primer3, all of you will have over 200 pages of Adwords & Affiliate Marketing training.

I would like to open this post up to comments… If you have the Blast Guide, is there anything you’d like to see added or covered that I haven’t to date? I cover a lot of stuff.. and I cover a lot more advanced stuff and provide the Video Tutorials etc at the CBS Membership.

But is there any foundational stuff that you would like to learn about? Maybe changes to the layout? More examples of things? More screenshots? I’m actually updating all the screenshots in the Adwords Primer3 guide and I’ve included references to several of the new features.

I can’t promise I can add everything in this update. But I will certainly consider it for now or down the road.

Thanks Everyone and Good Luck Blasting!

There is one thing that is an integral part of many memberships out there that my Adwords And Affiliate Marketing Membership (CBS) lacked up until now. A forum.. but that will soon be rectified! This will be good news for many of my members that have been asking about one.

The reason I didn’t have one was.. I had one. I had one at a different membership of mine - WPS. But I recently left as partner of WPS and now it only makes sense I provide it to members.

And it’s going to be way more affordable.. because it’s going to be included with the CBS membership now!

It will be located on a separate site from the Campaignblasts.com site because I’ll be building an entirely new type of membership around this new forum, but CBS members will get free access to the general forum and a special private Blasting discussion area.

So good news!

This is also going to bring with it something else very exciting. At WPS I did something called “Blast Challenges”.. basically Blasters would come together and challenge themselves to launch “X” amount of campaigns within a 5 week period; a public challenge is very powerful.. and it produced many great threads, many profits and it was a great learning experience for all involved!

Well, guess what? You guessed it.. CBS Members; no extra charge.

Sometimes change is good.

Have a productive day!

UPDATE: This is quite a few months later.. The membership was launched! In fact.. we’ve been going strong for 4 or 5 months now. It’s been a tremendous value to our members.. we’ve already had several challenges. Blast Challenge 4.. Then our first ‘Mini-Challenge’ and then… we are smack in the middle of Blast Challenge 5.

So.. by the time you are reading this we’ll be beyond that. But just thought I’ll update this post so you — are up to date!
