Quantcast 23 © 2009 Apprentice Voyeur 2. All Rights Reserved Now that you have seen the Top 20 Social Networking sites – you need to have a strategy AND the confidence to DOMINATE them. This is the reason why we created our “Howie’s Apprentice” series! You have to take action NOW – as I am DOUBLING the price of “Howie’s Apprentice Voyeur 2” and then taking it OFF THE MARKET "Howie's Apprentice CHANGES LIVES!" "Wash Rinse Repeat!" Once you get the hang of it, once you see how easy this is, you'll wonder, "How come you never did this before?" Because you never had the guidance. Because you never had a step by step system. Because many times with the hoards of information out there, you would second guess yourself and do nothing, because you're afraid of doing the wrong thing. Now you'll have the CONFIDENCE to do it over and over again! Seriously, this is the best money I have spent in a long time. Donovan, Dom, Don, Dustin, Howie the system you have developed for training is second to none. The access time and training each week is enough to send you into the fetal position with all the info you will get, but press through and the reward is beyond words. This program has given me hope and direction and you can't say that for a 37 dollar e-book. I would recommend any of Howies 24 © 2009 Apprentice Voyeur 2. All Rights Reserved products if you have any interest in building a true marketing business. After allyou never just buy one product because Howie ALWAYS over delivers with bonuses and content. Thanks to the Apprentice I've gone from selling crap on E-bay to ranking multiple times in a well chosen niche, now I feel I can find my own niches with your research techniques and rank easily with your traffic systems all taught in one very hands on training program. Awesome! Brandon Ottley You have to take action NOW – as I am DOUBLING the price of “Howie’s Apprentice Voyeur 2” and then taking it OFF THE MARKET I do NOT give out testimonials very often, but I have to say this, when I chanced upon Howie's videos I was blown away. I don't think I've filled up a notebook so fast. I literally went through every minute stopping and starting the videos and writing down the absolute gold-dust that you'll discover in this course, I didn't want to miss a thing. Here's this deranged guy showing you exactly how to annihilate your competition from out of the blue. He doesn't just spout rehashed garbage, Howie's continually testing this stuff in his underground gimp-lab in the real world (outside the 'work-at-home' crowd), and both you and I can now benefit. He really is the mad scientist of SEO. And this stuff delivers bigtime! If you want the edge, and you have the fire in your belly to win, don't even think of passing this offer up, because otherwise you might wake up tomorrow and find your competition has taken you out. Rob Taylor, Megastep International 25 © 2009 Apprentice Voyeur 2. All Rights Reserved You have to take action NOW – as I am DOUBLING the price of “Howie’s Apprentice Voyeur 2” and then taking it OFF THE MARKET I started off online selling on ebay and struggled to just try and break even every month, eventually I decided to take a step back and figure out what I was doing wrong so that I could move my business forward. One of the biggest problems I had was getting traffic to my offers, so I began to search, practice and learn to find out what I needed to do to control my own traffic. Eventually I came across one of Howie's videos and in less than 45 minutes watching it I learned some powerful tips to begin controlling my traffic. I also learned in the same video that I needed to create better calls to action to increase my conversions and got some tips to do that too. I started applying what I learned right away. As you can probably tell, I'm very motivated to build a sustainable business to give my family freedom and control over our own lives. I just didn't know what to do. I decided that to really be successful quickly, I need coaching and mentoring from people who are already successful, and that's why when I heard about it I signed up right away for Howie's Apprentice 2, I also got into Howie's Ultimate program as soon as it was offered and that has been even more amazing. The help and knowledge I've received from both Howie and the Project Managers over the last few months have been incredible. Within 2 weeks of starting the Apprentice I had one of my Christmas-toy Web-2 properties ranking #11 on Google for "bakugan starter packs" broad-matched. 26 © 2009 Apprentice Voyeur 2. All Rights Reserved I made over $200 in January 2009 in my own personal niche by applying what I've learned in the Apprentice. It doesn't sound like much, but it sure beats the ~$0.00 I made struggling online in the 18 months before the Apprentice and the worse than zero I made on ebay before that. Howie's Apprentice is amazing, one of the best things is having access to the project managers to get help exactly where I need it as I learn. My project manager, Donovan, has always been there when whenever I needed advice or pointers on what to do next. Its great to have someone who's "been there, done that" and can say "try this instead." Howie and the project managers always over-deliver whether 1-on1, or in the webinars and Q&A teleseminars. With all the unannounced bonuses that Howie has offered since the Apprentice started, the value for the tuition has been better-than-free. To Howie and our Project Managers: thank you so much to for your time and patience I've learned so much and seen my first real online success. I've gained the confidence that I will be successful because of what I've learned. It's simply a matter of time and persistence applying what I now know and adapting as my business grows. Howie's Apprentice is Awesome! If you can get in to Apprentice 3, you absolutely need to. - Rio, from Canada.

All Rights Reserved Hi Howie, I'm not one to do testimonials so that's why this is just an email. Not really a testemonial but I did want to let you and Howie and all the rest of the guys know that I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and have learned so much it's incredible in such a short amount of tme. Using the techniques you have all been teaching us over the past few weeks, I have managed to get my affiliate blog site well ranked in Google. The site is a woodworking project and basic home repair affiliate site. Each post is a different topic using different tools that are promoted by links to vendors. Thus, each post has it's own tags and keywords and very seldom are the keywords the same for any two posts. That being said, using the techniques from the apprentice program, I have gotten 147 pages indexed in Google. Of those pages I am on page one for 38 of those keywords and on page two for 47 more. Before I started this course and learned about pinging, directory submission, articles, etc. I had two keywords on page one and that was it. Vast improvement! That's it. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for a great job.
