Until now, Im still trying to figure out how I can gain a list of active subscribers. If I can get ranking storm, I believe that my goal of having that kind of list will not be far from reach. why? If somebody searches for something then that means that he/she is interested in that thing. More likely, he/she is in the buying mood and so that will mean sales! If I can get the no.1 spot in search engines then my sales will really overflow.

In my experience the major problems are knowing the steps needed to set up websites which run automatically and thus creating income. Your checklist is most definately a good start on this.

Hi Thomas, Winston,
I’ve got some experience in internet marketing, and in addressing your question:
–
> What are the obstacles that are holding you back and how this Ranking Storm package can help you get started on your way to owning an online empire.
–
The major issue I see for new internet marketers and experienced internet marketers is essentially the same, though it takes different forms.
the lack of an integrated system to generate leads, follow up with them and close the sale.
how i see ranking storm helping me is to generate a steady stream of leads from the search engine, which will feed into my lead capture system (autoresponder) and give me the opportunity to follow up with them, build up a relationship and rapport, and ultimately provide the chance to understand their needs and requirements and provide them with appropriate products and services.
obviously lead generation is one of the most important components because without any prospects to work on, you can have the best product in the world, but if you’re just talking to yourself, the whole system won’t fly.
Look forward to more exciting developments in the days ahead.

Hi,
I have not start up any website yet and the obstacles which are holding me back are finding my own products (which i dont have one) and setting up a website that could attract visitors and converting them (been reading much and holding back due to too much anaylsing the problem).
Knowing that I could have this product which will be able to save me time and lots of money on finding my products, my website and the traffic. And after seeing the “secret”, the belief get stronger that your ranking storm is very powerful to help me build my online empire. I believe that what you sow is depend on what you reap. Therefore, ranking storm to my context (as i have not much experience in online empire) will be the storm of the era. A storm that the online will not be able to contain.
Way to go, Thomas and Winston.
I believe you guys will be the storm of the era.

Hi Thomas & Winston,
The main challenges for someone, like me, who is new to Internet business are:
1. Finding profitable niches
2. Setting up websites that will attract traffic and encourage visitors to keep coming back (Traffic & List building)
3. Monetising the site (Conversion)
The Ranking Storm package can help me:
1. Cut short the learning curve and
2. Make money asap on my own site
As a newbie, I am overwhelmed with the information I need to pick up and learn. While there are many good programmes & products out there, there are also many disappointing ones (and many of these are just hype- advertised aggresively by various marketers just to make a quick buck out of us.) Some times, it can also get pretty confusing and frustrating.
Take PLR sites for one. There are many such sites but not all have good quality (in fact some are poorly run; I know ‘cos I signed up for more than 10 such sites.) Even though all of them promise quality products, it may not be the case. And when you ask for refunds, some of them just ignore you. That’s maddening!
It’s great that Winston and Thomas has come up with something to get us started in the right direction. Thank you and here’s wishing you both the very best success with The Ranking Storm.

The best and only method to make money online without having to spend tons of advertising dollars is through natural search engine.
To get click from natural search engine, it is important to ensure you appeared on the 1st page of the search results.
And then on the 1st page result, the click through rate of the top 3 ranking exceeds the rest by at least 50%
What is more interesting is that click through from natural search engine produces higher conversions than PPC, etc.
So, now you can see how important to get high ranking on search engine. And with Ranking Storm package, the chanches of propeling my site to the #1 spot on Google is better and faster than anyone else.
What this means is higher conversion rate and more money to be deposited into the bank, without having to spend mountains of advertising dollars.
My main challenges is to get enough traffic to my site via natural search engine. And the only decent way to do this is by getting the highest ranking possible. The conversion rate from natural search engine click through is as high as 50% or even 100% in some cases for my site.
So if I am able to get #1 spot on Google, this will be dream of a lifetime, not only to me, but to everyone plying their trade online.
Getting a Ranking Storm package could be crucial to help me win big in the internet marketing game.
December 1st, 2006 at 12:42 pm
Hi Thomas and Winston,
The most important factor in Internet business is “targeted traffic” as this kind of traffic can be easily converted to be sales. No matter how beautiful a wabsite and no matter how good the product; without targeted traffic, sales would hardly be genersted. The more targeted traffic, the more sales.
To get as much targeted traffic, any website need to be ranked high in any search engine. This is the hardest part of online business.
Ranking Storm help performing all important tasks needed for any website to be ranked high in any search engine = high sales.
Ranking Storm package gives webmasters fish while teaching them how to fish.
Isn’t Ranking Storm Package a MUST HAVE for everyone who is internet marketers?
December 1st, 2006 at 12:47 pm
What’s been holding me back from starting is that I’m in information Overload right now. I’ve read so much, I”m unsure where to start and which information to follow.
It seems that most info out there is just a rehash of one thing, and since I am getting started so late in the game, my market has already been tapped repeatedly.
Everyone talks about how the money is in the list. That is great, but you need traffic first to get that list. And since the market is saturated, it’s almost impossible to rank in the search engines to get traffic.
As a mother to twins being forced to go back into the workforce and leave my babies in daycare, this is my last hurrah to do this if I”m ever going to do this. Having someone help me and show me the way would be a godsend.
December 1st, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Hello and thanks for this opportunity….
I have been internet marketing for a few years but have not made any substantial and consistent money yet…suffering from info overload etc.
Can’t seem to get one good and proven system going..
A great challenge for me has been just recently I lost my much “counted on” retirement…so its not jsut part-time any more- my wife and I absolutely NEED to get a substantial income as soon as possible or we will probably loose everything…
I’m suffering from information overload myself and have been delving out money with not much return.. This looks very interesting..I understand the concept you have used successfully but I sure would like to learn the details that make it all work. I believe Ranking Storm could be the answer
to our prayers and begin to bring in a substantial and consistent income.
I realize WordPress blogs are the ticket–much better than regular websites…But I need the right details and stragegies and a “do this, then this, 1,2,3,4″..thats why I think Ranking Storm could be the answer…
And to those reading this take me as an example…Don’t depend on a retirement in this day and age…learn how to make money on the internet and be independent of any RETIREMENT—just in case it is suddenly taken from you and you are left out in the cold!!!
Again thank you for the opportunity and I hope you will consider me for the free Ranking Storm Package…you don’t know how much we would appreciate the wonderful gesture..

Hi Thomas and Winston,
I am a 64 year old retired Ironworker, and I wanted to try internet marketing, from articles and ebooks I read I was told to pick a subject or niche that I was passionate about. So in August this year I started a site on fishing.
For me I found with the help of my wife and programs like Word that I could write my own content and it was actually readable and interesting enough to give people what they searched for…..me an author “You Can Teach and Old Dog New Tricks”
After 1 week I had 8 good articles for a small site and got started, FTP I still hate it but using the file manager works for me 1 page at a time.
I spent days submitting to directories and writing other article to article directories and finally all my pages were listed in search engines. Now my problems begasn when I spent hours searching for my site for the keywords I thought I had optimised the site for…. could not find the site for words like fishing and even for fishing canada.
Eventually I found my site on page 8 of MSN for the key words bass fishing tips, but it was my contact page
frustrating stuff, my site gets traffic from all 3 major search engines and from article directories I average about 10 -15 visits a day after 3 1/2 months and made 3 affiliate sales in that time!
If wordpress is a better way to go I will try to learn that, I am having a ball doing this it is new, fun, frustrating at the same time but I will not quit.
I think llike other comments before me there is too much info out there and I need a blue print to follow daily…. I do have the time. I find that as I have gotten older what I read yesterday is mostly gone the next day. I need to have a road map….50 years ago I probably would have remembered more.
That is why I believe rankingstorm could be ……. well like the movie My Perfect Ranking Storm!
I am long winded … good luck and am curious to read the detailed step by step system of your rankingstorm system, that is what I need to keep me on track and make better use of all this time I have!
Have a good day everyone!

Hi,
My biggest challenge is the time committment to implement all of the steps required to conquer my niche.
The Rich Schrefren Video is revealing and very true. So many steps for the small guy to take to implement and cash in on internet success. It seems the solution lies with setting up a business model and leveraging time (outsourcing) many components of the process. The challenge to this however is having the financial resources to go ahead when you are at the beginning stages.
It seems the rankingstorm solution will be a brilliant way of solving all of the above.
Best regards

Hi Winston and Thomas,
To answer what are my challenges you face in your Internet business, and how you see this Ranking Storm package can help you to achieve the huge success that you deserve:
My challenges in internet business is determining a good niche product/affiliate product to promote. I see your strategy diagram at www.rankingstorm.com/strategy-steps.html and agree the most important is niche research. And after reading that your solution is not only traffic or ranking solution, but more importantly is a business solution for people to do a better internet business…I thought it’s a bold claim. Then I see your report & check it, all are proven in search engine google. Wow…
So if Ranking Storm come with 3 essential components for internet business (Product, Website, Traffic) and just tell you where my area of interest lies, it’s an obvious a dream come true for my internet business.
In other words, if I get Ranking Storm’s “Niche Goldmine Traffic System”, it’s just like I have experts to take care of everything for me from the start to finish guaranteed to deliver a money-generating website for years to come, without having me to do “The Right Steps” of building internet business which can cost me 162 hours & $831 as you explain. What will I see is a huge success internet business because your system will eliminate all guess works & frustration for me, thus I’ll get a long term sustainable internet business.
Again thank you for the opportunity to win free Ranking Storm Package…to bring a complete long-term solution for my internet business.

I think the major challenge facing all new internet marketers is getting good quality targeted visitors to their websites. Now there are many tools and systems online for getting hits on your websites but many are untargeted and a waste of both time and money.
The search engines such as Google have already spent a lot of time ensuring relevant sites are listed first in the search engines and that is still what most prospective visitors are going to use to find the information they need.
If someone was to come along and provide a step-by-step system for getting your website highly ranked in the search engines for your particular targeted market then all the other pieces in the marketing jigsaw should fall together easily. All you need to do then is put good information in front of your visitors and let them decide if they want to buy.
I’m hoping that this is what Ranking Storm can provide.
December 2nd, 2006 at 3:47 pm
Hi there,
This must have been some time in development, if it automates much of the strategy processes.
We all face problems in business, whilst many web sites offer sound advice, and some products automate much of the hard work, there is very little on offer that delivers “success in a box”.
The cookie cutter type of products are practically useless, and the search engines regard them as spam, so Ranking Storm has a chance to prove itself in this hungry market.
I have no problems with writing articles and content, but, like everyone else, my time is limited. I am now reaching the stage, where I need to hire ghostwriters, and that dilutes the value of your content, in my opinion.
Many of my AdSense sites are suffering the Google sandbox, and I would dance on the townhall steps if you’ve developed a cure for that!
So many people are tempted into the illusion that a “set it and forget it web site” will make them rich, that when the lousy results show up, month after month, they leave the internet marketing arena for ever, and this shouldn’t be the case.
Once traffic begins to flow, people are encouraged, and begin to concentrate their efforts on profitability, then expansion.
Like your planner, there are ways to succeed, and if you can spare the time, then your profits will come, but only if you are following sound advice.
How do you put a price on your time?
It’s the only thing that you can spend once, and loose forever. Make your time an investment, and you can enjoy the benefits in the future.
December 2nd, 2006 at 5:22 pm
I can totally relate to all the previous posts! My husband, Tom and I have dabbled in Internet Marketing for seven years, but it has been more of a hobby than a business. We started out with just a WebTV, and only got serious enough to buy a computer a year ago.
We have lots of “head-knowledge” of how an Internet business is “supposed to” be put together. But it takes time to implement what we have learned, and by the time we barely start something, the next wave of advice comes along… and we lose any focus that we had. We think “Now this new technique must be the way to go.”
Yes, information overload is probably our number one problem!
Then there’s the tremendous learning curve. The second thing holding us back from really getting something started is the lack of clear step-by-step instructions. There’s always some type of gap in our understanding of how to proceed.
The third factor, of course, is getting traffic to whatever we do get built. Even programs that practically build the entire site for you, in minutes (or not)…. well, you still need to supply the traffic. (And the people pushing their programs usually “forget” to mention that part, don’t they?)
We all have the lack of time problem because there are only 24 hours in a day. This is compounded when there is no real focus on what activities are most productive. So what we all need is a clear sense of direction, with the time-wasting pitfalls taken out of our way.
It sounds like Ranking Storm really solves these problems for people!
My husband Tom has always said that there needs to be a “system”. We’ve seen things that call themselves systems, but they are ususally a list of steps to follow (and not necessarily a complete blueprint, either.)
Tom’s definition of a system is a software program that does most everything for you. Lots of automation. I secretly doubted that such a program would ever exist…… But now it looks like you guys are thinking along the same lines.
Winning a free Ranking Storm Package would be awesome!
December 3rd, 2006 at 4:59 am
First of all Gentlemen, I want to say thank you for doing this. I am not only referring to the contest to win your Ranking Storm system but for caring enough about those of us not as experienced and successful as you, to spend your precious time and effort in coming up with a REAL solution. It’s not often that we see really successful marketers who take the time to listen and address the problems we are having.
My particular challenges that I face in my Internet business are the same as many of the others who have posted. I am not generating enough traffic to really make a difference. Also, my expertise with websites is practically nil. The site I do have up was done in a workshop that “promised” that I would have a business up and running by the end of it. Well as you can see, I have a squeeze page up and running. Granted this does give me the ability to gather names and email addresses but it doesn’t help in generating any income. I was not given the knowledge or tools to create any product or to put up any kind of website that actually sells anything. Since I am running on a very limited budget, PPC is out of the question at this time. During the workshop I attended, PPC was touted as the best and main source of traffic.
As you can see and have stated yourselves, this is exactly where we newcomers are left; with gaps in our knowledge, struggling to find the answers. This is where the information overload comes in. We read, watch videos and listen to audios as much as possible in an effort to fill the gaps in our learning. Thomas and Winston, as you know there are so many “systems” out there to wade through and a newcomer really hasn’t a clue which way to go, so we try to go all ways. Of course this kills the focus we are struggling so hard to maintain and many say forget it. The others keep on keeping on and wind up frustrated and broke or worse.
When I learned about your solution, I saw Ranking Storm package as the one way to close the gap in my knowledge. From all the information you have provided and the proof you have shown in your reports it really looks like the solution I have been searching for. Since it is a complete solution, not only will it propel my current site to an income generating business, it will also provide that much needed impetus to get me excited about internet marketing again. In addition, it will give me the knowledge to create more than one stream of income thereby allowing me freedom as I have never known before. Once again, thank you for this very generous opportunity. I would be absolutely thrilled if you chose me to win the free Ranking Storm Package.
December 3rd, 2006 at 8:16 am
Hi Winston and Thomas,
Wow, 162 hours to build a site (the correct way), huh? I
think that’s probably a conservative estimate for me. (-;
To answer your question about the biggest challenges I face
in my internet business, I have to say it’s the Learning and Doing curves.
There are so many skills to learn to generate lucrative websites. And then the tasks within each skill-set that have to be carried out in the proper order. And after that, there’s all the tweaking tips and tricks that the advanced webmasters know and use.
With most teaching systems I’ve seen and bought, the “Why”
is covered in much greater detail than the “How”.
So, the theory may be learned, but the application steps are quite often missing or incomplete. Thus, the information overload and frustration most newbies encounter.
So, I see RankingStorm saving me a TON of time and
frustration right off the bat.
Not that I don’t want to learn all that stuff. I just don’t want to delay my income while I do, you know?
To me, RankingStorm appears to be one of the most ingenious programs or systems to hit the world of internet marketing for quite some time.
It’s the next generation of Private Label Rights.
It’s the evolution of Outsourcing.
It’s like having your own, private Elance staff working on
only your project. How cool is that?
And the quality of the sites produced by Ranking Storm will
be like modern, new, gleaming metal and glass
super-structures in comparison to the ever-growing “subdivisions” (or ghettos) of mass-produced, automatically generated, cloned and cheesy VRE junk sites popping up like crazy out there.
Ranking Storm will allow me to overcome my current time and knowledge challenges and quickly get me into profit by managing for me the bulk of tasks normally associated with building a niche site.
Honestly, I couldn’t think of a better program or system to ensure newcomers to internet marketing see real business results AND profits FAST.
Surely Ranking Storm will amass large numbers of success stories among its members. How could it not?
And it will make a huge dent in the number of would-be marketers who normally would have gotten fed up and quit after 18 to 24 months of frustration and hype. For that alone, you guys should get a medal!
Congratulations and well done gentlemen!

December 3rd, 2006 at 8:44 pm
Hi Thomas and Winston,
Where to begin…
Well, I think that’s a challenge right there.
Looking at all the traffic solutions out there, and falling for much
of the hype, leaves one with a monumental headache, broke, and totally
confused. What’s worse, no or minimal results.
I don’t know how many times I have told myself ‘I need a plan, and
follow the plan’. Easier said than done. You find one piece here,
another there, try to piece them together to make sense - and fall
flat on your face. Let’s face it, sooner or later you find out that
all these over hyped ’solutions’ are just that - hype, with a lot
of missing pieces. The only system I have seen lately, that would
actually work as a complete system was waaaaay out of my reach.
I’m sure many here have heard of it, the marketing campaign was a
wonder to behold. Alas, if you don’t have that kind of money, you’re
out of luck, and I think that is one of the most frustrating things
of all. Finding something that would work, and not being able to
take advantage of it.
In comes Ranking Storm. A system that shows the promise of working.
Dare I hope one more time?
Ever the cockeyed ooptimist, I keep on hoping - and working.
I wish you great success with your program Thomas and Winston.
Actually you can’t help but be successful with it. it is so badly
needed.
December 5th, 2006 at 3:11 am
Getting my website ‘out there’ and receiving traffic is definitely one of the more difficult parts to get started.
I have tried ‘general’ guides out there that had me pretty much left with much discouragement over dismal results (if there are any). Lots of projects are now piling up, unfinished, half-done, because of a lack of traffic.
But is TRAFFIC really the problem?
NO! Traffic in itself is NOT the problem but the LACK of a proven system of getting the desired level of targetted traffic is. I believe that the Ranking Storm System will provide me NOT with just a general guideline on what to do nor a simple to do list that I will blindly follow.
I believe that the Ranking Storm Package will give me a huge boost in terms of Traffic and the System which I will be incorporating myself. You see, not every 10 step guide out there WILL apply to each and every site there is.
I think that the Ranking system, when used and tweaked for my usage will save me the trial-and-error time as well as give my sites a huge boost. It possibly can be the best case study of traffic here ever.
December 5th, 2006 at 6:18 am
Hi,
I have written this post with my brother help. I would say that i am very new to this internet business and i hope that i would gain insight and of course at the same time gain some earning along the way.
Right now i am a student going into poly soon, waiting for results. thru my brother, i have gain some exposure to internet business. Right now the challenge for me is knowing my niche product. I am now looking around for sometime and could not figure out out what i am going to produce / resell / service. I hope that i could gain a few insigh thru your product and at the same time can post my success story with you in order to tell people out there that even a teenager like me can do it.
And not forgetting, you guys are the best having figure out this. (comment by my brother thru) haha.
Cheers,
Fraser Tan.
December 5th, 2006 at 6:24 am
Thomas and Winston,
I am still learning *what* all I need to learn to set up an online business selling physical and digital products. I just learned that the web hosting that I had set up was based on a tier 3 or 4 backbone, not a one or two that is recommended. No one talks about those kinds of details! Slowly but surely I’ve been gathering the pieces to get started - I have such a thin shoestring budget for the moment.
I would be ecstatic when I won the Ranking Storm Package. It would reduce the amount of time I would need to spend in getting an income producing website going while I worked on setting up a second one, then a third when the second one was successful until I had an “empire” built. I need the income not only for me and my family but I want also to be able to help women, kids and pets who are in need of help, and to be able to donate to charities as much as I want.
Winning and using the Ranking Storm Package could launch my “empire” faster and better than I could probably do on my own. I *will* have my “empire,” one way or another, because there are women, kids and pets out there who need help.
Thomas and Winston, I think that it’s great that you are providing this opportunity to win a Ranking Storm Package. You live it, not talk it! Thank you for this opportunity and may success always be yours too… PAULA
December 5th, 2006 at 9:10 pm
My obstacle to starting an online business is time. I’m an IT engineer and a writer, so I can do most of this stuff. If I could have the whole package in a box, from articles to SEO help, I’d be happy.
