I have to say that last weeks “Weekly Blog” had an amazing response! So many people responded and so many people left comments about my new book “Advertising Profits From Home” it was a bit overwhelming to say the least. I decided that this week I am splitting the video blog up into two parts. Part one went live today, Monday, and basically is a continuation of our free “Acing Adwords” giveaway so if you are looking to learn how to really get the most out of advertising on Google you certainly want this guide! Guess what though? YOU CAN’T BUY IT. That’s right it isn’t for sale right now…. it’s only available to people who give me honest feedback on my new book “Advertising Profits From Home”. So if your reading this blog you’ve probably already purchased the book which means if you give me a review ill give you this guide completely free!
To watch this weeks video blog simply GO HERE
To post your review of Advertising Profits From Home GO HERE
Part 2 of my weekly video blog will roll out later in the week and will focus on giving back and how you can give back to people in your local area. As you all know this is a big deal to me and it’s something I have been involved with since long before I wrote a book or appeared on national television. I hope that with the huge amount of traffic this website gets now due to my national exposure I can help to motivate and inspire you all to do something to give back to people who really need it. Ill be sharing my video and this story later in the week.
I hope you all have a wonderful week! Thanks for reading my blog and be sure to watch this weeks video blog, give me a book review and get your FREE COPY of Acing Adwords.

I have to say it’s absolutely wonderful to have so many people reading my blog, watching my videos and sending me comments each day. The launch of my new book “Advertising Profits From Home” has been such a huge success and I want to personally thank everyone who made it possible. It’s amazing to me as I sit here thinking ahead that it’s already Thanksgiving week. It seems like this year has just blown by and I’ve hardly had the time to stop and just relax. I guess we all run through moments in our lives where we are so focused and so passionate about what we are doing we simply forget to take a moment to rest.
I’m certainly thinking ahead right now at how I can make our ChristmasForKids Charity reach more people and touch more lives this year. I have thought long and hard about possibly brining in some celebrity authors or maybe even celebrities themselves to really shine some light on our cause. I am not sure if I will be successful in my attempt, but ill never know without trying right?
I think it’s so important for us all to stop and remember those less fortunate right now. When you help others you show good character which is the most important aspect of being a successful businessmen. There is absolutely no replacing character. No amount of knowledge or skill will ever mean more than having a good heart. I truly hope that this holiday season everyone reading this blog will reach out to help someone in need. It doesn’t have to be financially which is such a common misunderstanding in our country today. There are millions of people going through divorce or mourning the loss of a loved one this holiday season. There are thousands of people dealing with losing their job and financial stress at home. There are so many ways in which you can help people by just simply being there for them during a stressful time or time of need.
Remember giving back to people isn’t always measured by giving them dollars or cents…. it can also be measured by giving them your time, energy, devotion and compassion. So think about that as we approach the Christmas holidays and make sure you reach out to help others. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels as you visit your families around the country.

First and foremost I want to thank everyone for getting on our teleconference calls and really staying engaged. Obviously those calls are completely free to those of you who have joined one of my programs and I do them simply to help you in every way possible. As you probably know we discussed how to reduce your PPC cost (pay per click marketing cost) so you can get more bang for your buck, which basically just means a better ROI.
Here is a breakdown of exactly what I suggest you do in order to make this happen. Start off on AdBrite or even on Google and create a PPC ad for whatever you are marketing. You can create a written text ad or even a creative (image) ad to get started. I suggest running that ad for a minimum of one week so you can get stats on it for every day of the week including weekends. Once you have accomplished this here are the things you want to look at:
1. What is your CPC (cost per click)
2. What is your CTR (click through ratio) meaning how many people click on your ad vs how many people the ad is shown to during this time.
Here is why this is important right now you are “paying per click” but most networks offer another way to pay for your advertising which is called CPM. CPM (cost per thousand views) means you pay simply to be seen and you select how much you are willing to pay per thousand times your ad is shown. Obviously they have minimum bid amounts etc depending on the network/platform you are using to advertise. This method is great ONLY if you have a high CTR because remember you are paying to be seen so even if your ad gets no clicks you still pay.
The reason you start off with a PPC campaign is it’s like having a safety net below you. If the ad doesn’t generate clicks guess what, you don’t pay. However, once we have some data let’s assume we see the following after our first week running the ad:
1. CPC is averaging .50 (50 cents)
2. CTR is averaging 1%
If the same network says you can switch your ad over to a CPM model let’s do some math.
Assuming you pay a $2.00 CPM that would be $2.00 per 1000 times your ad is shown.
1000 impressions X 1% CTR = 10 clicks for $2.00 (since you are paying $2.00 per thousand views)
Now if the same ad is costing you .50 per click on the PPC campaign you would pay $5.00 for those same 10 clicks on the PPC model.
As you can see it’s all about testing. Write an ad utilize the safety that PPC offers you and then switch to CPM model if it makes sense. It’s pretty easy and once you get going it will get even easier to determine how it is done properly. This allows you to scale just about anything and everything you are doing!

As I said in my last post I had an amazing weekend! It started in Anaheim speaking at a wonderful event and ended up in Los Angeles, Ca at the 2009 Rock The Kasbah charity event with Richard Branson. I am sure all of you know who he is but what you might not be aware of is all the things he and his mother Eve Branson are doing to help people around the world. A lot of money was raised to help people at this event and I was honored to just be a part of it.
It was awesome to say the very least. We had performances from Estelle, Gavin Rossdale and Natasha Beddingfield. I was also able to see a few people like Linsday Lohan, Paula Abdul, The Shamwow guy (lol) and naturally Sir Richard Branson himself…. all in all it was a great weekend and an amazing event!

Well as you all know I have started the “weekly video blog” on the home page of AnthonyMorrison.com and so far it’s been a huge success! You are all watching the videos, leaving me comments and in the end staying engaged and motivated to be successful Internet marketers. That’s what this website is really all about at the end of the day. I just wanted to create a place to let people help people like the Live! Community and then also a place that allows me to share insight, knowledge or maybe just one small piece of information that might help keep you motivated each week.
I really believe we have a great thing going here and I am excited to watch as it grows leaps and bounds each and every week. We now have over 500 members to the Live! Community which is simply amazing considering it was only an idea in my head just a few short weeks ago. We have people placing their own blogs and sharing their own stories. It’s going exactly the way I hoped it would go when I launched it. I want to thank all of you for making the Anthony Morrison Live! Community a success. I really hope you are learning from it each and every day and it’s keeping you motivated and inspired to find your own success on the Internet.
Remember success does not come to those who don’t try. In order to be successful you must work hard and remain positive. Watch the weekly blogs and hopefully I can help you stay on the right track week in and week out!

My posting will be short tonight. It’s 12:30 am and I am a bit tired. I guess not being on the road doing Hidden Millionaires conferences has been a good thing for me the past few weeks. I’ve been able to really relax and enjoy spending time alone, which is rare for me these days. I was suprised today to see that quite a few people ordered my book “The Hidden Millionaire” off Amazon. I guess I forgot to even mention that it was on there for sale. Most people just goto my website www.TheHiddenMillionaireBook.com to order the book, but if you want to buy it at Amazon.com feel free to do so.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Grammy’s tonight. Al Green and Justin Timberlake together was really cool. I admire them for being able to do what they do. I speak in front of a few hundred people and its a nervous thing for me to do. I can’t imagine singing like that in front of thousands live and millions around the world. Especially on short notice like they had to do tonight.
Hope everyone has a successful and wonderful week!
Anthony Morrison

As I lay in bed finally after returning home from a 3 week tour I am reminded of what I saw on our brief three week tour. Thousands of people flocked to our conferences to hear what I had to say about making money online and building financial freedom. One thing that really stood out to me was the number of people who told me they had lost their life savings in the stock market and in real estate. If you’ve seen my show then you know my story and why I started my first business online. My father lost his life savings in the stock market just like millions of people have with the recent stock market plunge.
Here is my suggestion to everyone in America. Build your financial freedom via online businesses! One thing you don’t read about in the paper or see on tv everyday is information about online businesses closing or sales dropping off. In my opinion the safest thing to do with your time and money is invest it in yourself. Start an online business and build wealth one day at a time online. Quit investing money in other companies and falling stocks. Quit investing money in real estate and getting into debt. Start your own business!
Just my advice for the night!

Well our first trip of 2009 tour was successfully completed. Week one took us to Birmingham, Alabama (close to home!). It was a great area and we had a huge turn out. I want to personally thank everyone for being so supportive. I actually met a few people that knew Justin K. (from our tv show) so that was really interesting. We are now headed back out for another two straight weeks of conferences. One of the main questions I am being asked is how the state of the economy has affected our business model. I am starting a new section to this blog called “Affiliate Marketing” just to stay up to date on the industry itself and inform you of changes and growth in the industry. I know that many businesses are really hurting right now because of our economic issues in this country, however, our business model is very sound and remains steady and profitable. We look forward to seeing everyone next week at our events!

So you’ve seen from my last post my highlights for 2008. I have to say it was a great year, and I certainly think a successful year for me both as a person and as a businessman. 2009 comes with many questions and many obstacles I must overcome. I have so many goals and so many aspirations it’s sometimes hard to just settle down and focus on one or two things. My mind races so much fast than it really should, but I have spent some time thinking about what I want to accomplish in 2009 and my best advice for you for the new year.
My goals for 2009:
1. I really want to create another successful online business providing a service to Internet users. This will tie in with my “best advice” to you for 2009. With the recent changes in the economy a true entrepreneur learns to adjust and survive. My current businesses all provide services to Internet users, and therefore have been pretty much unaffected by the current conditions. I always talk about “diversification” and how important I really believe it is to ongoing success in any business. This year I want to diversify even more and reach out to more people with different products and services.
2. I want to get my book “The Hidden Millionaire” published by a major publisher. I self published the book because from a business standpoint it just makes sense. You actually make more money that way than if a publisher picks up the book. However, my main goal for the book was to get my story, my lessons, and my advice in the hands of millions of people around the world. Obviously a publisher is going to make that a little easier for me to accomplish. Some things are simply not about money, but rather personal goals and desires.
3. I would really like to get on the speaking tour this year. I have always wanted to deliver keynote speaches or teach people around the country how to really make their businesses grow. I have spoken to quite a few companies to represent me as a public speaker this month and plan on choosing one very soon. Delivering my message to people is really important to me and I think this would be a great way to accomplish that goal.
4. I want to meet Donny Deutsch from “The Big Idea”. I have TRIED SO HARD to get on that show! It’s absolutely rediculous. Yes I know I was on CNN, Fox, and many other news related shows but being on “The Big Idea” is just one of my lifelong goals. So if anyone out there wants to write them an email for me please go ahead 
5. I would love to see my ChristmasForKids.us charity catch on in other states. We have been really successful here in my home town, but it’s really time for this to catch on around the country. I have some ideas on how to make that happen and I hope to be able to accomplish that this year.
The Top 3 Things You Should Focus On In 2009
1. Invest in yourself. Listen I know people all over the TV are telling you “the economy is bad” and “get ready for a bloodbath in 2009″ but hey have you seen the businesses that ARE doing well? These don’t seem to be talked about quite as much as the ones going bankrupt. I read today that the average salary for a MLB outfielder dropped from 16 million a year to 10 million a year. I am sorry but that doesn’t scream “financial crisis” to me! They are playing a GAME and making 10 million a year in a “bad economy”. The fact of the matter is yes we are going through some tough times in this country, but the great thing about the United States is it’s a country of opportunity. If you are a true entrepreneur you will have the vision and ability to adapt and be successful no matter the situation. There are plenty of industries still thriving and the Internet just happens to be one of them. Open your eyes to the WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES that surround you and forget about the hype you hear on TV.
2. Make 2009 a year of learning. Read books, blogs, and other informational products. Learn as much as you can about business and how to be successful. Worry less about going out, partying, shopping, and other activities that aren’t really going to broaden you as an entrepreneur. It’s amazing what you can really do when you put your mind to it. Stay focused and make it your personal goal to be a successful entrepreneur in 2009.
3. Help someone every time the opportunity presents itself. Our country is built on opportunity, however, some people are not given the opportunity to learn and grow as entrepreneurs. Some of the most successful people in this country were given some kind of help to get where they are today. I am not saying go buy people a bunch of gifts and things. Dedicate your “giving” to helping others learn so they can become successful.
So thats it for 2009. My personal goals and my best advice to you as aspiring entrepreneurs. I hope to write here more often than I was able to write last year. I will share my thoughts and knowledge with you as much as possible. I sure hope you learn something from me, my story, and my life.

As promised earlier I am going to post my 2008 year in review today. Honestly I have to say that 2008 was a blessed year for me, my family, and my friends. Each and every year we all grow and learn so much that makes us better and more successful people. Here are the top 10 moments of 2008, well at least in my life:
1. My best friend in the world, Josh got engaged! Oddly enough this happened yesterday on New Year’s Eve. Josh is a great friend and partner in business. He works on my conference tour, contributes greatly to my charity ChristmasForKids.us, and handles just about anything and everything you can imagine for me. I think this was one of the highlights of my year simply because I know he has a great woman in his life and there is no doubt she has a great man in hers.
3. My first book, The Hidden Millionaire, was published and released on Amazon.com. I never really saw myself as an “author”, however, after meeting thousands of people around the country my eyes were opened to just how my personal story touched others lives. So many people were motivated to succeed after hearing my story I decided to share it with the rest of the world through my book. I must say writing a book was certainly more difficult than I originally expected, but in the end it was well worth the trouble. I am extremely proud to be referred to as an author, mentor, speaker, and business advisor. I never expected any of those titles just a few short years ago when I was headed to medical school.
4. A successful year for our conferences. I have to say in our second year of touring around the country our team did a great job! They were all wonderful to work with and deserve nothing but good comments. They were helpful, informative, and patient as we traveled the country teaching people how to create and run businesses online. A special thanks to everyone who contributed in 2008!
5. My brother graduated from college! A true highlight in my life not only did my brother finish school, but he also created his own online business that is hugely successful. They say sometimes the student surpasses the teacher and this may end up being the case! He is completely dedicate to being a successful entrepreneur and I am happy to just have pushed him in the right direction. So congrats Adrian on your success I am sure there is much more on the way!
6. Meeting new people and creating new partnerships was a big part of my 2008 year. Brent up north is working with me on a few deals, and I met him in a hotel in Washington. Kevin out west is working on a few things with me, and I have never even met him! Graig from MidWest a great guy handling all my book printing and shipping. To everyone that I have met this year thank you for broadening my horizons and teaching me along the way. I hope we all have a very successful 2009 working together to become smarter and more successful in every way.
7. My first nationwide interview on CNN aired. The feeling was incredible. Knowing that people all over the country were listening to what I had to say at one time. It was a bit nerve racking, however, it was worth it in the end. As a result of that interview I received about 300 emails from people around the country.
8. I was on the cover of Home Business Magazine and featured in many other newspaper articles, magazines, and radio shows around the country. I typicall tend to be more of a private person, however, in 2008 I stepped out of the box and began a media tour. I have to say it was successful and I enjoyed every second of it.
9. Meeting Cameron Johnson, author of You Call The Shots. You know I have written about his book and suggested it as a “required reading” if you want to be a successful entrepreneur. For me meeting Cameron was interesting because I have never met anyone my age that was really successful in business. Most of my friends are just now getting out of college. It was interesting to interact with someone who has written a book, given keynote speaches, and created successful businesses online before the age of 23. So to you Cameron I wish you all the success in the world in 2009.
10. ChristmasForKids.us – we had a wonderful 2008 year with our charity ChristmasForKids. I will be posting pictures, videos, and news clips of the entire event soon. Each year this charity seems to just grow bigger and bigger. My goal is to reach as many people as possible and positively influence them to give back in some way to those who need it most, and thats the children of our country.
These are just some of the highlights of my year……… Ill be posting more soon! Stay tuned.. as always comments are welcome.
