Shameless Self Promotion…

I’m aggressive and arrogant.  I’m a ham on the stage.  And I’ll dominate a conversation once you let me in.

But I don’t like selling.  And I prefer to let my results speak for themselves.

So that makes me a lousy self-promoter.

I rarely use testimonials in my sales pages.  Partly because I’m lazy.  Mostly because I don’t like asking for them.

Well… until now, that is.

I’m “soft” launching my braintrust tomorrow.  And it occurred to me that I should really have some kick-ass testimonials on the sales page.

So I have a favor…

I’ve worked hard to provide lots of value to you.  If you’ve experienced that value in your relationship with me, I’d love to hear from you.

Please leave a comment that I can use as a testimonial tomorrow.

It can be for a specific product, a piece of information I’ve given, a post I made, whatever.  Share your experience of me.

I toyed with the idea of offering some bonus for leaving a testimonial… but I don’t want bribed and contrived comments.  I want the real deal.  Besides… I’m sure I’ll have more free stuff for you shortly ;-)

Make it good… I want to be impressed.

Everything that Matt provides - both free and with nominal cost - is top-notch and works great! Matt is the only marketer that really tells you what is real without all the hype and bs that's pervasive in the im community!

Antoine Nguyen @ 4:10 pm:

Making money online is not easy, but simple once you follow this formula:

1. Find what's working.
2. Do it better.
3. Do more of it.

Matt Harward is a master of Step 2 when it comes to using automation to execute mundane, but money-making, tasks better than most of his competitors. As a software developer myself, I can attest that his free tools are better than most paid ones out there.

Nevertheless, please DO NOT buy anything this man sells because I want only a few of us who will have exclusive access to his tools and information.

Hey Matt,

Even though I have downloaded most of your tools recently, I haven't had the chance to really mess with them yet. But, I can honestly say that your little Placement Targeting Report has really opened up a lot of avenues for me on the Google content network. In fact, your tool (Site Sniper Pro)was mentioned by Shelley Ellis to be one of the best tools to use when doing Placement targeting on the Google content network. She mentioned it in one of her webinars that I attended. She's the person that (adwords expert) Perry Marshall goes to for content network related questions / concerns.

Initially I was introduced to Matt through a forum post. What he was sharing freely was so impressive and from it you just knew that Matt had something worth sharing and that you had better be paying attention to what he said. Since that time I have followed everything that I could get from Matt and I get this feeling that as much as he shares and as much as he gives away freely there is so much more that he could share.

He finds solutions that are not main stream but more powerful than the common accepted knowledge. I don't know how he does it or why he shares so much of what he knows but I am so glad that he does. I can only hope to keep up with with what he has to share and am able to put it to effective use.

Keep your eyes on what Matt is doing and sharing and I predict you will be ahead of the what is being shared as "new knowledge" by so many other gurus.

ChuckB @ 7:14 pm:

OK I had a selfish smile when I read that the group Matt was working with over the last few months had fallen apart. Their loss = more cool tools for me! MWAHAHA! Matt is the REAL DEAL. He is the only marketer about whom I have said: "If I could hire one guy to help me with internet marketing, it would be Matt Harward. He is THE MACHINE." Problem is he's usually so busy actually PRACTICING the discipline of marketing, there's no way you could tear him away. I buy all the paid products he offers (or recommends) and happily download the tons of free tools he gives away. And what's best about his tools, is they are always practical — I mean usable to save time and money right away — instead of the "next new thing" promoted by other "IM gurus." MATT = IMPLEMENTATION.

Edgar @ 8:13 pm:

I've met Matt through the PPCF community where he has been continuously providing good tools for automation and cool tricks that nobody else knows.

Time is what online marketing requires and for me who holds a full time job, I don't have much time on my hand, but with the free tools that Matt provides, I am able to supplement my offline income.

I am really look forward to joining this brain trust to I can be free of slaving for others soon!

Charlie @ 8:25 pm:

Matt is full on, no BS, no holds barred. If you want to be ahead of the curve and get the inside scoop, you are in the right place. He is at the top of my list of people I listen to. Top notch tools. Top notch advice. Top notch attitude.
Matt doesn't just talk the talk, he is right there doing it, figuring out all the angles, then making kick a** tools to stomp the competition.

Brian @ 8:48 pm:

I remember when Site Sniper Pro was first released. I read the sales page many times and decided that the content network was not going to work as well as my plan for online marketing.

Hindsight always reveals our mistakes! ….and I am not going to make the mistake twice.

When I learned that Matt Harward was going to lead a brain trust of internet marketers to learn his successful online income strategies, I immediately realized the value of this opportunity.

Yes, you have heard this before…. "If you want to be successful online, find someone who is successful and copy what they are doing".

Matt, where is the sign-up page?

Vijay @ 10:01 pm:

Hi Matt,

I have used all of your tools and I have also bought so many tools from others and if I have to put money for the free tools you have provided so far can be easy $500 ad on top of it they are really good tools for PPV, PPC on search and content n/w.

Also what I can see is you are ahead of curve you have envision the boom in mobile ads and already started working on it :)

I am sure now since you are active in coaching many will be benefited from you in the time to come.

Jay @ 10:18 pm:

I have known Matt through PPC and PPV formula Forum. Matt always generously gives out his neat tricks, software tools and expert advice to the community.

If you know Matt, you know how much value he offers for free. Imagine what he will provide in his paid training and coaching program.

Zen Van Sant @ 10:47 pm:

Matt Harward is the E.F. Hutton of Internet Marketing. When he talks, those in the know listen. No hype. No fluff. No hyperbole. Just results backed with cutting-edge marketing strategies that are light years ahead of what anyone else is even thinking of doing. One word to describe Matt? It would be "real." Listening to Matt you the know the game is over. Now it's time for the work to begin.

Wilson @ 12:04 am:

Matt can definitely charge for his software. They are FREE but quality products.

I use Laser URL and now Image Ad Builder. They are robust and powerful.

Top notch!

Edgar @ 1:15 am:

Left a comment above, but forgot to add.. its my birthday next Wednesday, Matt's brain trust is going to be the best birthday gift (just a little belated) of my life! I can't wait to jump on board.

Dean @ 1:45 am:

Never meet or spoken to the 40 year old bold guy called Matt Harward but I do have all of Matt's software both paid and free.

Unless you've been asleep for a few years you'd know that this dude is the real deal. I've been following this Matt for the last few years and consider him an underground affiliate ninja.

Brain Trust I'm sure will be nothing more than extremely
powerful and over-delivered.

This is truly a special opportunity, and you'll probably get only one chance at it. Don't let somebody else steal your spot!

ImagesAndWords @ 3:30 am:

Matt always delivers the goods. I've personally used his Laser URL tool many times and it's pretty amazing that he gives it out for free. He could easily charge good money for tools like this one. The quality and usability is excellent, and it's not just some crap thrown together by a rent-a-coder for resale or for profit.

It's rare these days to see successful internet marketers who also blogs quality posts, AND hand out premium-quality tools for free to their readers! Matt's the man..

David Jewell @ 4:45 am:

I have had the pleasure of knowing Matt for 18 months & in that time I have experienced a higher level of understanding regarding software automation & Internet Marketing implementation that from any other source.

The absolute Fact is that no other Marketer in the whole world has given away "for FREE" such quality hand coded tools, worth hundreds of dollars each (Laser Keyword Generator, Laser Url, Keyword Sniper, PPC Linker, Link Hopper, Sneaky CBCart, PPV-KW Tranform, IframeMagic, and now Image Ad Builder)

Matt's Vision to leverage both time and data manipulation is the epitome of most so called "Guru's" desires, 99% fall short of these promises. Matt Harward has consistently (with integrity) over delivered on all these fronts.

Simply put… "There is NO competition for the BEST!"

Geoffrey Brown @ 7:50 am:

I have been learning from Matt for over a year and he over delivers on content, and his software he provides for making tasks easier is the best. He is the first website i go to for advice and teaching in all things related to Internet Marketing.

Matt is so kind in sharing his ideas and software to many people and i thank him for that.

Keep up the good work Matt.

Many Thanks

Geoffrey Brown.

Matt G @ 8:31 am:

I regularly use Laser URL Generator to build my target lists for my PPV campaigns. This little beauty, which Matt gives away for free, has saved me hours of time and helped me unearth some real golden nuggets when it comes to profitable targets to bid on.

I have also had the pleasure of meeting Matt, albeit briefly, at a small internet marketing workshop in Houston last year. In real life he's just as generous with his time and knowledge as he is online. A real top guy. Hell, he even bought me breakfast one morning, which immediately catapulted him onto my (very short) list of trusted internet marketing experts*.

*Not the only reason, I hasten to add ;-) Matt talks total sense when it comes to online marketing. Listen to the guy.

Nick @ 9:35 am:

Matt,

When I spoke to you at the PPCF 2 event in Toronto, I was amazed at your knowledge and unique approaches to Internet Marketing. I've used all your free tools and it was great to finally put a face to your online identity and presence. What some people would charge an arm and a leg for, you graciously shared with us for free. This includes not only your software tools but also your vast IM knowledge.

You are truly a breath of fresh air in what is mostly a stale, copycat-ridden community. I always hoped you would offer some of your stealthy, killer tactics and tools for sale to other IMers because I know how outside-the-box you really think. Naturally, I was very excited when I heard you were offering your braintrust.

It goes without saying I will be one of your first members. I didn't even have to read about what you were going to make available to your members. If your free software is any indication of the quality of material you will be offering, then it really is a no-brainer. That's not something I say lightly, or EVER for that matter, in this community. You're the real deal and I can't wait to see what you have in store!

Amit @ 11:12 am:

Hey Matt,

You provide such awesome free software - and really good advice on how to work it - that I can't wait to see the stuff you'll be providing to the IMWarfare members.

I use Keyword Sniper everyday now - it's my keyword research tool of choice. You've truly bettered the free Google keyword tool. Now I can start my research using a single seed keyword and end with hundreds if not thousands of really relevant keywords. The ability to select top ranked URLs in organic search as well as advertiser URLs and then crawl them for more focused keywords is simply amazing. Also I love the way it has helped me organize my keyword research. Keyword research is a pleasure when using your software.

Another free software of yours that has actually helped me start earning on Clickbank is iFrame Magic. I am not even remotely a techie so creating "quickie" landing pages that would help me test keywords and products was never my forte.
I would labor over creating such pages, wasting hours that could productively be applied elsewhere. With iFrame Magic I am no longer *afraid*… now I'm enjoying building my landing pages quickly and setting up my campaigns and am finally seeing Green :-)

Now I want more.

I'm IN.
