SMARTS - Your Questions ANSWERED!
Wow… we just released the SMARTS Strategy Guide a few hours ago and the questions and comments are already flooding in about our upcoming SMARTS Coaching Program.
Rather than trying to answer them via email or taking three days to put together a video, I thought I would try answering them on our blog… so here you go:
Q: Is this social marketing stuff for real?
A: It's as real as it gets. We've been watching it grow over the past couple of years, and we've turned Don Crowther loose in our Stompernet Labs for the last six months.
This is what we've seen - recently it's gone from a minor expansion to major explosion.
The power and size of this traffic is crazy, and the marketing force is staggering… and it's growing stronger by the moment. This is literally the most significant development online in years… frankly, I can't remember anything else that compares to it outside of back when tens of millions of people first got online in the last 90's.
Q: Who's the SMARTS program for?
A: It's for anyone who markets a product or products and wants to increase their traffic and/or establish a leading presence in their niche. SMARTS will help you drive more traffic, get better search engine rankings, increase conversion… and ultimately increase sales.
Q: Is SMARTS for newbies?
A: Newbies, Oldbies, In-Betweenbies…you name it. SMARTS requires very little (if any) web experience. This stuff can seem complex, but it's amazing how easy it is.
You can just follow the simple instructions and you'll be good to go.
Of course, as we mentioned in the video AND the Strategy Guide, you can get yourself in trouble if you go off half-cocked. But we're going to put up clear danger signs and lead you away from the trouble spots. to go.
CRITICAL: if you are just starting your site, then this is the EASIEST way to get traffic fast. You don't want to wait around for the search engines… and you could spend a FORTUNE on advertising.
Q: Will I get more traffic?
A: Yes. Without a doubt. Just look at all the examples we gave in the "No Secrets" video and the Strategy Guide.
Q: Is SMARTS for my biz? I'm in (insert business here).
A: SMARTS doesn't play favorites. This isn't just about ecommerce sites. And it's not just about information marketing sites. Or non-profits. Or service businesses.
It's about ALL of the above… and more.
It really doesn't matter. If your site can benefit from more targeted prospects, then Social Marketing will work for you. And you should really consider our SMARTS program, because it's a huge "fast-start" program for you your Social Marketing campaign.
Q: What will the Coaching Program cover?
A: We actually gave a pretty complete course outline at the end of the Strategy Guide. You can download it at this link.
Q: What if I can't be at my computer on Friday?
A: That's a tough one. Based on all the signs, we're fully expecting this Coaching Program to sell out very quickly. So you might want to get a friend or relative to be there at launch time for you. I'd hate to see you miss out.
And if you REALLY can't figure anything out, then send an email to our customer support department:
and we'll see if we can work something out with you.
Q: Will you have a payment plan?
A: Yes, we've decided to add a payment plan so you can spread the tuition over several months. We're still working out the exact details on this one.
That's it for now… but if you have any other questions (or comments) please leave them below…
Best Regards…
Andy

Hey Andy & Don - great work on all the very useful Web2.0 info.
We'll be asleep in the middle of the night (Saturday morning actually) - do you have some idea of how long it will be on sale for ie 24 hours+. If so then I don't have to set my alarm.
I understand scarcity is a sales tactic for you, but your "limits" are not obvious (yet) and mailing to an email address of "xxxxx @ XXXXX.com" *probably* won't work!
Cheers and very nice work, love it!
WOW!! I just watched Don's SMARTS Video and am super encouraged about my NEW online opportunity and how I will be able to market it.You see,I'm in Network Marketing and have tried and failed for years (offline)by believing all the crap that go's around about how to market MLM,this poop is constantly served up by the so called GURU's of your company who are only interested in there personal gain by selling leads and (STUFF!).Like Don,I to believe in the motto(give and you shall receive!)Although I have just started (ONLINE and CLUELESS!)I intend to use the SMARTS guide to kickstart my new venture and do my best do impart what I learn to other struggling Network Marketers,Thanks Don!
Dang, guys, you keep outdoing yourselves. That was really great and very inspiring.
Andy, Don, Brad & All the Stomper Gang… You've given us the absolute best seo coaching program for the past 2 years and now you've gone full force web 2.0 with SMARTS. Thanks for bringing this to us, Well done guys… there's nothing else out there that will come close to your coaching social media marketing strategies.
Where do we sign up as an affiliate? Wait no, I don't want anyone else to know about this stuff.
This stuff will be Stomperlicious,
Dukey
After playing with a few of these things I'm very excited.
Can't wait to digest and put the strategy guide into action…then see what you have in store for us on Friday.
I would like to find out more about the Coaching program coming out tomorrow. I don't find any email address or phone no. on your site, so can you please contact me - ASAP. Very imprssed with the SMARTS guide.
Thanks for your great work.

Great video !! I watched the complete video for 50 minutes ( without a break !!)
It was irresistible ! Great work !! Great Tips. I will surely use whatever you told in video !
And i am sure you will get a lot of good words and praise for this !
Thanks so much !!!
Ankit
And how many limbs does this cost?
(Reply from Andy Jenkins - Are you counting toes, fingers, and ears?
Hey Everyone, The video and info is absolutely amazing… Great work… Excited for more!!!
Jared
first point - "what a brilliantly produced video" it was capivating just looking and listening but never for a second did a miss the message.
second point - the message is fantastic, there are so many "expert" nowadays on every conceivable subject but when you meet someone who actually knows what he is talking about and put the message across in plain english the difference is plain for all to see.
I have been working day and night to help my brother with his website and have thousands of dollars' worth of keywords to prove it!!! To be able to have all these tools at my fingertips will be invaluable. I am SO GLAD to have this opportunity…also Don, I lived in Wisconsin as a kid; glad you are OK!
(Reply from Don - the tornado's were really close. Scary. My favorite is that someone walking not far from my home found a checkbook lying in the road…
That came from a home 30 miles away!)
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your videos and the report.
I have been using web 2.0 'light' for the last month and it is amazing.
I intend to use it much more deeply so I am hoping that your course is in my budget.
Lots of of outgoings just now!
Best,
George
StomperNet Team,
This may sound like a crazy question but I assume this couching program is a serious of audio and video links? There is not live communication with your team members. Or am I wrong?
You guys have the training I have seen so far.
I look forward to seeing the price?
(Reply from Don Crowther: Oh, no, live coaching is definitely part of this process. You'll be on the phone in question and answer calls with me every week. Plus, there will be video, and audio and written materials too. The core of the program will be the video training and the live coaching calls. Of course, we will also be recording those calls and giving people the opportunity to send questions in advance, in case they can't be live on the call. Oh, and don't forget the forum, where you'll be able to ask, get answers, weigh in yourself, and share experiences. This is a full-fledged program!
You'll see more details on this tomorrow.)
Please forgive my last post.. I seem to have left out the word "BEST" right before the word training
(Reply from Don - it'll be tough, but we'll try to forgive you :< ) )
Alright, man, it sounds great, but the BIG question is how much will it cost??
wow man. your stuff is like porn for internet marketers. it's absolutely titillating.
sa-da-tay
(Reply from Andy Jenkins - um….uh…. DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK then….)
I've been buying books on social marketing, and really haven't learn any implementation until you guys came along.
I'm interested in applying social marketing to promotion of collectible fine art pottery miraculously made by people in a remote village in northern Mexico, completely by hand, without even the use of a pottery wheel or kiln.
Can't wait to get the scoop from you on Friday.
(Reply from Don - this program will be perfect for you! Hope to see you join - I'm drooling at the mouth with possibilities…)
I cant make the 2pm product release until later that night.
Will I have an opportunity to get into the coaching and get those fast action bonuses?
I know some times there are limits and sell outs and I dont want to miss out?
Is there a way you can help us out if we cant make it at 2pm?
PS - Awesome research in your videos
(Reply from Don - there are going to be some very cool fast action bonuses that will go very quickly. So, unfortunately, you'll probably miss out on them if you're not able to be there at 2.
Because this is a live coaching program, it can't be huge. However, I'm confident that if you can't get there until Friday night, you still will most likely be able to get into the program.
PS - thanks for the compliment!)
Your videos and guide are amazing but I am truly afraid of what all this great stuff will set me back as I have obviously not yet made money in my business. I am planning on getting some help from others to make this happen because in reality I'm sure most of what I've seen so far is over my head technically. I still know though that this IS the way I want to do my Global Business and somehow become proficient in showing my team members how to do it too!Thank You for spending years perfecting your craft so you can help a 48 year old newbie make it BIG.
Hi Guys,
Great presentation by Don Crowther. Very thought provoking, as I am sure he wanted it to be. His guidance in the area of "Social Marketing" has shed a lot of light on the whole Web 2.0 thing and how I can use it to promote my sites and products.
Also, glad to hear we are still on the start of this crazy "social" what ever it is thing that has taken over the net recently.
By the way, I posted my first video(s) on You Tube and Google Video yesterday .. just to see if I could do it .. ta da ..it worked and was not really that hard so maybe I can do this "social marketing" thing as well.
Thanks for the great report and I am looking forward to the course.
Best regards!
This will bend our minds thanks fellows.
On the edge of my seat now.
Hi team
Outstanding effort. I am assisting my wife with marketing her new site we have just completed selling designer jewelery to Australia and Germany only at the moment. She already has a personal and business coach to assist her with improving general business processes and is making great process.
I see your program as the natural extension of our current efforts and would like to find out how to fit this into her budget at this early stage.
Any chance of receiving an email with an idea of the investment required to get onto the A-team?
thanks heaps and keep up the awesome work.
Warm regards Uwe
I have to say that the information that was on the videos was outstanding. I have never come across a site where such valuable information has been given away for free!
Terrible stuff….all lies, lies, lies!!!
:oP) <- panting with tung ouT…..
If only I could get the really gifted ones with all the old tricks and list-of-old to believe that…then the playing field would be closer to even after we get our traction from thes…AND of course we then ZOOOOM past the ole greedy=gurus hahahahahahahahaha.,
God I hope I can afford this! See you tomorrow…Victor
Great stuff. But I have to wonder if it's…"Too Good To Be True!"
Hey Guys,
I just recieved your email about the "you've got friends!" idea,"Very Cool!").
In my post yesterday I got so excited by your video I forgot to ask any questions!,your email reminded me of one!.
Will a "Network Marketer" have any friends in this new area?
I was met with a lot of negativity about MLM (offline),I just wonder if we SMELL the same online to Social Networks?
Still Excited!
I started watching the Stompernet
video last night way after my bedtime.
and WHOA! I could barely sleep as I
downloaded creative idea after idea.
Thanks for such valuable information–
I've heard the phrase Web 2.0 for a
while but not "gotten" it…though I
couldn't help but notice that ABC news
was getting reports from Facebook
during the recent Presidential debates.
Who needs pollsters, just go right to
the people and have them click in!
I have a service business right now, no
info products yet..seems to me the best
apps would be for products or affiliate
sales rather than a one-on-one service.
Thanks again..look forward to
your full lauch of this program.
I think with those fast mover bounses people are going to be lining up hehe.
Martin, with mlm you're generally best networking with other mlmers as they're already sold on the concept. So I'm sure you'll be able to utilise the SMARTS approach for that.

Don,
Above you said "This is a full-fledged program!". Does that include offering services where we can get help creating the content needed to post to all these sites?
-Stephen
Hi friends!
I watched your 50 min video 3 times and am totally blown away! Very very well done, you are so up-beat and creative, I know you will continue to prosper exponentially!
Thank you for the great free coaching. I am such a newbie in online marketing (haven't yet ever written one line of HTML) I wonder if the coaching will go way over my head.. Are you guys going to keep it pretty simple so we all can grasp the bulk of your goldmine of knowledge?
Long live Stomper.net!!
Cheers,
Jeroen
(Reply from Don - I'm a simple guy, so I try to keep things simple. I hope that you saw that in the video and the downloaded report. When I have to get technical, I try to explain it very clearly. AND you'll have question and answer calls and the forum to ask for clarifications if there's anything you don't understand.)
Your program sounds good, I have been doing some social book marketing. My web site has web 2.0 incorporated into it. How much is this training program going to cost?
I LOVE STOMPERNET <3
Thank you for the high content, professional, entertaining, mind boggling info. You guys rock! You're spot on and the SMARTS program clarified a lot for me regarding social media marketing. Happy 2000 Great!!!

Hi Team, hi Andy,
I'd like to get in very very early on everything, and I'll be up until 2:00 am to do that. But I'm in Beijing, China, and we sometimes get network outages and latencies which prevent us from acting in time. Could you have mercy for us, marketers of the boondocks? If yes, you've got our credit card on file already, charge it now. I repeat: charge it now. Yes, you can. :-))

PS- Acknowledgement: Our site http://www.shopping-in-beijing.com broke in Google.com's Top-10 two days ago under keyword combo "shopping in beijing" (no quotes) against a competition of 755K. It was already an A-lister in Yahoo.com and MSN Search. This success is due in no small part to Leslie's teachings. Thank you Leslie.
PPS- That http://www.shopping-in-beijing.com features 500+ articles and 2500+ photos of Beijing did not harm its rankings either. It is now the most complete English website on the Beijing shopping scene, and is bound to become within the next 6 months the largest English-written information website on the Chinese capital, with full push-pinned English maps, valuable content articles, full location addresses in Chinese, photo and video contents, member services, and so forth.) Well, that was my shameless promotion moment.
Guys, I'm blown away with what you teach with the web 2.0 just with your free report and 50 minute video. I currently have a mentoring program with another master marketer peter parks where we teach people about social marketing and you guys are revealing our juicy secrets that people paid us $1495 to $3995 for!
Hey, I'm not mad, LOL, social marketing will change the internet forever and those who embrace the change will succeed.

"CLASSIC" Thank You Both ! The Future Is Right Here With The Social Networking and This Very Bright Idea You Guys Came Up With Is Showing Us The Way To Success. Happy New Year!
I'm really exited about your program. I watched the video and it was awesome!
I also downloaded and read your article. That was great because I couldn't take notes fast enough!
Can't wait until tomorrow!
Okay world wake up. If you are serious about building your business you need to slap yourself in the face, throw ice water down your pants, get yourself a lifetime supply of Mango Rockstar and stay up and get this stuff digested and into place fast. No Joke. We invest thousands seeing who's real and who's not. These guys are for real. If you can't see that you best check your pulse to make sure your not dead. Seriously, these guys have done an outstanding job and should be applauded for their hard work to help each of us become heroes in our own field. Jump in the waters great, get on this rocket or whatever analogy you want to use to kick you in the pants and get you moving! Great job guys,
Now something a bit more important. How do we opt-in for your follow-up Strategy Guide. Is it something diffrent than the first one. The way Rich was talking about it I was under the impression you have somethng else other than what we have opted in so far? LMK!
As with all your videos, the SMARTS content is superb! Thanks, guys - also for the report! You understand the concept of making learning fun. I have been into Web2.0 for a while, but have picked up more valuable tips. The scope is simply mind boggling. I will definitely take a closer look at Hubpages. I wasn't aware of all it has to offer.
Okay Guys,
This do or die for me, time to move out of my comfort zone and get moving!!
Cheers,
Jim Novak
I have to be involved in this. Been studying marketing strategies for a year now, feel like I 'know' alot but can't seem to find direction and put it all together. I am so ready!!!!
Your videos have been extremely eye opening.
I can hardly wait to get started.
Super work!
Just wondering about the price tag. For those "smaller players", the ROI on this training will be very, very important.
Thanks for getting us started!

You guys ROCK! I just finished watching the video and reading the report (in one fell swoop).
This is better than Schefren's Attention Age Doctrine - far more 'user friendly'.
Thank you so much.
All the best from a "reluctant" marketer,
~Schelli
Great, like everyone else I'm waiting to see what the program will cost me. Thanks for the opportunity
Andy,
How do I get in the program? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I just purchased the coaching program. I cant wait to get started. I\'m what they call in the Google sandbox. I published my site several weeks ago and still dont have a page rank. The 45 day free look makes this a no brainer. For the guy looking where to get the program go here http://www.stompernetpresents.com/smarts/.
Your suggestions are helpful to learn more about the marketing strategies. Thanks a lot!
I am interested to get more info!
Whoo-hoo - I just signed up! Now all I've got to do is earn enough money to pay for next month!
I am so looking forward to this - I can see myself taking off and flying
Kathy
Hey guys,
I purchased at 2:00 yesterday and just curious how we know if we got in on the fast action bonus'?
Thanks
Carey
(Reply from Andy Jenkins– Carey, all Fast Mover's Bonuses will be announced at 3pm EST on Monday, January 14th. Glad to have you aboard!)
Hey folks!
I also signed up right at 2pm EST on Friday, as soon as you opened the doors. I signed up so fast, that I think I might have missed something. I chose the installment plan (easier for me right now) instead of the one-pay option. Did you have to use the one-pay option to qualify for any of the bonuses? I hope I didn’t miss out.
Looking forward to the course.
Take care!
John
Hi Andy,
I do have a craigslist real estate site can I use use this system to effectively market my sight.

Don,
Things that is happening out here makes me inspired all the time.. the coaches and the people on the forums always behind you.
Cheers!
