Today, I want to share a couple of things with you…

1) A very touching video I taped of my Dad

2) An invitation to help a soldier reunite with this family
for the holidays

========================================

1) A very touching video I taped of my Dad

The video you are about to see is something that brought
tears of joy to my eyes (and a choked up voice as you’ll hear
in a minute)

It started with a phone call from my sister…

She called and said that our Dad has been really worried
lately about money and retirement. My Dad is the type of
man that doesn’t usually talk about what’s going on inside;
he tends to keep everything bottled up.

So when my sister called and told me that he expressed his
worry to her recently, we knew it must be more serious
than we originally thought.

Growing up, my Dad was…

…the hardest working man I’d ever known. He never called
in sick to work. He never complained. He did what he had
to do to take care of his family. We didn’t grow up poor.
We didn’t grow up rich. We we’re middle class. But let me
tell you something… our Dad managed to give us kids a
great childhood and we love him very much for it!

And my sister…

She is the most generous person you will ever meet in your
life…

Ever since I can remember, she has always gone overboard
during the holidays and would spend way more on her friends
and family than she probably should have.

Why should this year be any different, I thought. Especially
since she had a great year with her new job.

I really shouldn’t have been so surprised when she told me
what she had bought our Dad for Christmas (yes, this was an
early Christmas gift.)

I won’t spoil it for you… just Click here to watch the
video I captured of this emotional daughter/father moment.

I titled it: “A Gift of Thanks!”

2) An invitation to help a soldier reunite with this family
for the holidays.

I told Henry I would help him without compensation. So
please help him reunite with his family, if you can

Happy Holidays!

P.S. Please leave your comments on the blog. I want to
show my Dad and sister what this video meant to you.

Sorry it’s taken so long to get back with the details of the
coaching program…

I went on a small “get-away” with Trinette and Zoe to Lake
Michigan (it was Zoe’s first time and she loved it.)

Then I came down with something and I’m just getting back
in the swing of things.

On to the coaching program…

Ok, some major additions have been added to the Downline
Secrets Software package. I have tested everything and the
new features work perfectly!

If you’re not familiar with it yet, go here:
DownlineSecrets.com/software.php

Features such as:

- Lead capture page creation (sends leads and members 1
fully customizable email)

- Newsletter feature (email your members and include the
referring members affiliate links)

- Plus some other minor improvements that are capable of
producing extremely profitable results!

The coaching will be limited to 50 people only!

Full coaching details go live Friday, September 1st at 12
NOON Eastern Time.

One thing I want to mention right now is that I will be allowing
all 50 coaching clients private access to a forum where they
will be able look over my shoulder as I put together an updated
version of iBuzzIncome.ws!

Not only will I be explaining “what” I’m doing as I put the system
together, but “why” I’m doing it

Come back to this blog on Friday Sept 1, 2006 for full details…

P.S. If you asked me a question from the last post, please see
your comments below as I have include my answers there

Click Here For My Answers…

Some people have emailed me and asked a few questions about
the coaching.

Below are some of the more common ones that really help
answer some concerns:

Q: What will my recruiting system look like?

A: You can see your “default” site here:

http://DownlineSecrets.com/coaching

(you should change the look and feel so it’s unique to you.)

————————————————————————-

Q: What if I already bought the script and have it installed
already?

A: You can still sign-up for the coaching and we will set-up
your system so it looks like the default site above.

————————————————————————-

Q: How many people are going to have the same site as above?

A: Hopefully none. All the sites will start out like the default
above. It’s your job to add graphics and change the overall
concept of your system if you want.

————————————————————————-

Q: What else is included with the coaching?

A: You will gain access to a call I recorded with a private client.
We talk in great detail about the overall concept of a system
like this and several advanced strategies that help add multiple
streams of income.

A: You will also have personal access to me via email to help
strategize what will work best for you regarding your goals.

A: I will also install a forum on your server. This will serve as
the “Training Portal” for your team members.

Look at my: http://iBuzzIncome.ws/team
forum to get an idea of how to train your members.

A: Plus, some other great bonuses.

————————————————————————-

If you have more questions please post them here at the blog
and I will answer them in the next post.

I know you received an email saying the coaching would be
available on Tuesday the 29th but it doesn’t look like that
day will work.

I’m adding some additional features to the software and want
to make sure you get the latest version of the script that
nobody has yet. My current customers will get access to this
major upgrade at the same time the coaching goes live.

I think that’s it for now.

Please post your questions below

To Your Success,

James Grandstaff

Ok, this is a little embarrassing… but over the past 6 weeks we
have been busy trying to find our first home.

I was just about to make an offer on one we liked when I was
hit with some rather bad news.

You know… the kind of news a husband would rather not
deliver to his wife who spent the last few weeks dragging a
screaming toddler through 36 different houses and finally
found one she loves.

It went something like this…

“Bear (that’s what I call Trinette), I have some upsetting
news…

We’re not getting the house.”

I explained to her that the guy at the bank had called back
and said “Yeah, James… I just noticed you have a bankruptcy
on your credit report.”

I replied “Um yes, and…?”

He then stated that he didn’t see the bankruptcy on my credit
report before and that we would need to put more money
down in order to get the best interest rate.

I told him that was unacceptable. Yet I’d have to come up
with a way to put more money down because we were not
about to agree to a 3 year A.R.M. at a 9.63% interest rate.

That wasn’t the worst part…

What upset me the most was when Trinette started crying at
the kitchen table and then got mad and made me sleep on the
couch for the night (not fun.)

Well, maybe there is a way to make things right with Trinette…

I’ve been thinking about launching a Downline Secrets Coaching
Program for awhile now. I asked for some feedback in the
member’s forum to gage interest and the feedback was positive.
So I know many of my “less technical” members want and need
this.

Nevertheless, after careful consideration I wasn’t going to
do a coaching program because of the personal time involved.

I’m not a big fan of trading time for money anymore. I’d
rather be enjoying my time with Trinette and Zoe.

However, things have changed and I need to come up with a
bigger down-payment to make things right.

I’ve decided to offer a scaled down version of the coaching
to a *very* small group of people.

The coaching will include your very own 3 step recruiting
system set-up from start to finish and access to me personally
via follow-up email.

You will have complete control over the income programs
and the traffic generation programs you want to include in
your system.

Take a look at the sales letter that explains how the software
works and benefits you: DownlineSecrets.com/software

If you’re interested, please get on the VIP list below to be
notified of the finer details.

P.S. Please leave your comments and questions by replying
to this post.

——————— * DISCLAIMER * ———————-

Before you register for the VIP list above please understand
that this coaching is in no way a guarantee that you will make
money or even build a list.

You will receive a fully functional recruiting system installed
on your own domain that may include any programs you want.
You will have full control to modify the system pages after I
set up everything up the first time.

——————— * DISCLAIMER * ———————-

As promised, due to the payment issues we had with PayPal…

(you can read all about it below if you missed my last email)
http://DownlineSecrets.com/launch/viewtopic.php?t=77

…You and all my members now have another chance to
upgrade your membership to Elite status.

Now, I know you have a life and are busy living it, but please
take the time to read the entire letter I wrote regarding the
Elite Partnership…

Here’s why…

Some people that I’ve talked to that “DID” upgrade when we
first launched, did not realize they received over 4 hours of
Camtasia screen capture videos that show you “on your
screen” how to do things such as:

- Register a domain name

- FTP files to your hosting account

- How to download and edit the sales letter of a reprint rights
product and upload it back to your server (how many of
these packages do you own but don’t know what to do with
them?)

- How to create and insert Clickbank order links on your
sales letter.

- An introduction to using auto responders for your business
(including putting the code on your pages so you can start
building your list)

Plus, more extremely helpful videos…

Since launching Downline Secrets on March 21st I have been
in contact with a lot of members who don’t have these basic
internet marketing skills…

I’m not going to BS you…

The truth is, whether you like it or not, you must have a
basic skill set or PAY someone to do the technical work for
you. And trust me, technical stuff WILL come up if you’re
serious about building your business online!

The videos that you get as an Elite Partner will put you many
months and dollars ahead of your competition…

Again, the videos are just a bonus to what’s already included
as an Elite partner

Below are comments from a few Elite members that had me
smiling quite big

“Hi James,

“You’ve done it James, and I am delighted
to be part of the elite crew that will
be reaping rewards for months and years
to come.”

“Hey James,

What can I say. The whole thing is
awesome. The Elite offer alone was
well worth the price paid.

The decision to buy was a No Brainer
for me. Great Job Dude!”

HERE’S THE NEXT ACTION TO TAKE:

- Turn off your pop-up blocker.

- Login to Downline Secrets below:
http://DownlineSecrets.com/login.php

- If everything goes smoothly, you will see a new window
open and you will hear Mike Filsaime’s voice; that is the
Elite Partner offer letter.

Take your time to read it carefully…

Click the order button and upgrade if it interests you.

You’ll then find a new link in your Downline Secrets back
office called “Elite Partner Member Area”

The normal cost was going to be bumped up to $147 after
500 packages were sold. However, due to the many people
who signed up when we could not accept orders, the price
will stay at $97 for the next 500 Elite Partners as well

And finally…

Thanks for being a member of Downline Secrets!

To Your Success,

James Grandstaff

This post is to let you know about a few minor hiccups that
have occurred today…

1) PayPal is reviewing our account due to high volume of
activity.

Therefore, the DownlineSecrets.com website cannot accept
any PayPal orders at this time

And…

2) StormPay.com has changed their terms of use.

The message below appears when you try to buy something
from a StormPay button on any website:

— start —

Important StormPay Policy Change:

Dear Valued StormPay customer,

Effective immediately StormPay Inc. will no longer accept
payments for sales made outside of StormPay Auctions. If
you are an online seller who wishes to sell your product or
service through the StormPay system, your item must be
sold using the StormPay Auctions feature. Listing in the
StormPay Auctions is FREE of charge unless utilizing our
inexpensive upgraded listing options.

Q: Why has StormPay implemented this new policy?

A: StormPay has rendered certain policy changes to insure
a safer online experience for both buyers and sellers. This
policy change allows StormPay to more closely monitor the
products/services sold, insuring that sold items are within
StormPay’s acceptable use policies.

Under these new policy guidelines, customers may no
longer log into a StormPay account for the purpose of
sending money to another online user, or “offsite” website
sale. All “spends” and “receives” are and only can be for
the specific purchase of a user’s auction listing and
successful purchase of.

Subscriptions (recurring billing) is no longer supported by
the StormPay system. All current subscriptions have been
cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may
have caused.

We appreciate your business. As always, if you have any
questions, feel free to contact us.

StormPay Inc.

— end —

Needless to say, it’s been crazy around here this week and
now all StormPay customers are effective too.

So, while we work out a solution to this small hiccup, I have
a suggestion

Login to your DownlineSecrets.com account here:
http://DownlineSecrets.com/login.php

And spend some time in there learning more about the
product (especially if you upgraded to Elite before the
payment issues) and when we are back up and running
and accepting payments again, I will make an annoucnment
here at the blog.

Hang in there and Trinette and I want to thank you for your
support

To Your Success,

James Grandstaff

P.S.

I won’t be able to respond to email requests regarding the
payment issues. It’s just nuts around here and we are taking
a small break while this gets sorted out.

Thanks for understanding

The roaring feedback I have received from the upgraded Elite
members is deafening!

We are 30 hours into this thing and it just keeps getting
bigger and bigger as people are starting to promote more and
more.

I want to thank everyone who has upgraded to Elite Partner
status. This launch has been life changing for us over here
at the Grandstaff household and it’s because of you; so
thank you

If this is your first visit to the blog, feel free to spend some
time to read the comments under each post. This blog was
put up during the entire pre-launch and the comments are
just remarkable

I would also like to take this time to ask the Elite partners for
a small favor if that’s ok?

If you upgraded to Elite and have had some time to look
everything over, I would love to hear what you think of the
product so far… Feel free to comment on this post below.

There has also been some issues with people who wanted
to upgrade to Elite but had technical trouble…

To combat this issue, I’m trying to figure out a simple way
to help those who had trouble upgrading to Elite.

Here’s what I was thinking…

If you had a technical issue when upgrading to Elite, I will
allow you to upgrade your account for the next 48 hours
only!

The only way this can happen is if I delete your account
first and then you sign-up again.

Please send an email to: technical@downlinesecrets.com

I will then delete your account and allow you to sign-up
and upgrade to Elite.

In closing…

Speaking of Elite, the upgrade offer is converting very well.
If you are interested in picking up some extra income, get
your affiliate link out there and start promoting it

Also, I may be cooking up some type of affiliate contest
soon to really kick this thing into overdrive

Stay tuned…

To Your Success,

James Grandstaff

It’s come to my attention that the countdown script I am
using is not server based. Therefore depending where you
live it may show that we have launched when in fact we
still have 11 hours and a few minutes to go.

So hang in there and in the mean time please listen to the
teleconference call I did that explains the affiliate program
in more detail and how you can benefit the second we do
go live.

It’s really hectic around here, as you may imagine, and I
for one, need to get “some” sleep.

Thanks for the support everyone and we’ll see you in 11
hours

Here’s the call:
Click Here for the call.

See you soon… WOO HOO!!!

James

Only 2 days left until the launch - WOO HOO!

In this post I want to address a few concerns I’ve seen from
some comments on the blog and emails that have come in…

Below I have listed 3 major concerns and/or questions that
I have seen come up more than once:

1) Rebranding of the manuscript, joining the programs
on page 31, and the cost.

2) Affiliate program for DownlineSecrets.com?

3) The “software script” that I’ve been hinting about?

4) I also have a surprise tele-conference I recorded last
night with my friend David Dutton who owns:
http://HowTheyMakeMoneyOnline.com

The call is 21 minutes and David and I cover some exciting
stuff…

==========================================

Let’s cover the first issue real quick:

1) Rebranding issues.

Ok, here’e the short of it…

You are NOT required to belong to all the programs
listed on page 31. Please only join the programs you feel
comfortable joining.

Also, you do NOT have to re-join any of the programs
to participate in the rebranding option; you simply use your
current ID for the program(s) you already belong to.

Furthermore, if you decide not to join a program, you may
leave the default ID intact during the rebranding process.

A quick note on the cost…

When you register, you will see an offer for the rebrand rights
plus some fantastic stuff that I’m not going to mention here.

The cost for everything will be a one time fee of $147.

However, I have included a huge discount for the first 500
who purchase rebranding rights. You’ll see this offer as soon
as you register on Tuesday.

Also, I have removed 2 links (not The Greatest Networker)
that are were not part of the rebranding

All the rebrandable links on page 31 are still the same.

2) Is there an Affiliate program for DownlineSecrets.com?

Yes! Not just any affiliate program either! The affiliate
program details are covered in the call I did with David.
ALL the benefits of owning rebrand rights are covered on
the call too (see details below.)

3) What about this “software script” that you’ve been
hinting about?

As mentioned in the manuscript “7 Secrets To Building A
Productive Downline” I have pre-recorded a tele-conference
call with Mike Filsaime which you will get free private access
to on Tuesday.

On the call you will not only learn in great detail how to set-up
your own viral recruiting system like iBUzzIncome.ws, but
there is a HUGE suprise in there too that is sure to put an
“ear-to-ear” grin on your face.

Try to hang in there until Tuesday…

4) Today I have a surprise tele-conference call that
I recorded last night with my friend David Dutton who is
launching his first paperback book soon at:
http://HowTheyMakeMoneyOnline.com

The call is 21 minutes and you’ll learn exactly what I said
that totally blew David away… I think that part is about 13
minutes into the call.

That’s it for this post…

say for now

“7 Secrets To Building A Productive Downline!”
