Today, at approximately 4pm eastern, StomperNet is making a big announcement that is going to send yet another buzz through the marketplace.
I'm telling you this ahead of time as a heads-up or a warning, specifically if you have not yet requested their free offer but are still planning to do so. You should do that before 4pm today, and I'll tell you why...
First of all, I dont have permission to tell you this. I am supposed to wait until 4pm when the official announcement is made. So we're going to keep this as quiet as possible (no links or diggs or stumbles, okay? -you can share it privately with a friend, but that's it!). This post may very well self-destruct if I get any frowns from the company.
I'm going to do my best to spill the secret, without giving too much detail. I have to cover my own bases, ya know π . But I have been sitting on this secret since early yesterday evening, and finally decided you deserve a heads-up about what's coming down the pike...
If you arent familiar with the "free offer" I referred to above, you can check out my Review, FAQ and Video at each of those links.
It's already a free offer. You get a $497 SEO Course (Stomping the Search Engines 2.0) and the premier edition of The Net Effect. This generous offer is their way of hoping you'll fall in love with The Net Effect and continue your subscription to receive it monthly (which is optional, of course - but I agree, you're going to love it!).
Anyway, here's the deal: Today at 4pm eastern (or sometime in that time range), they are going to make a big announcement about a whole slew of unadvertised Customer Bonuses. These bonuses are of incredible quality and value - not your usual round of "stuff" for sure.
I cant really tell you any names behind those bonuses (Brad Callen, Mike Filsaime, Rich Schefren, Ed Dale, Shawn Casey, Yanik Silver, Trey Smith, Jeff Johnson, Eben Pagan and Jeff Walker) or that one of those bonuses is a free month of membership at Ed Dale's exclusive Immediate Edge. Since I'm not allowed to mention any of that, suffice it to say these bonuses are going to be HUGE and you'll definitely want to make sure you get your hands on them!
At first I was upset! I thought, hey - what about all the people who already placed their order?! But I double checked and it turns out that everyone is going to get the customer bonuses - even if you ordered last week, or you procrastinated and wait to order this week (before the offer ends).
And yes, this offer will end. I'm sure that's obvious, but I dont think they have announced the "when" on that yet (Monday Sept 15th, which you didnt hear from me). It is a special offer, not something they can afford to just continue without an end date.
The reason behind my "warning" - Its simple: When they make this announcement today, there is going to be another huge surge of traffic. When people hear about the customer bonuses they are going to get, they will likely stampede the request page - potentially causing another server overload (and we all know how frustrating that can be!).

If you have been procrastinating, or sitting on the fence about this offer, now is the time to request your free copies of Stomping the Search Engines 2.0 and The Net Effect. You will avoid any potential delays at the site this evening, and still be in position to get both of those free products - and a whole slew of more high-value products and options that you may not otherwise be able to get your hands on. Certainly not for FREE.
Open this link in a new window and put in your request if you havent already: Get the StomperNet Free Offer!
For all the "hype" about this offer, its worth noting that this is a phase. If you have been involved in Internet Marketing for any amount of time, you've seen plenty of phases come and go: high-ticket items in the $1-2k range, $7 reports, hidden forced continuity... and now - the latest phase is "free".
This phase will last just like all the others before it: for a short time. Once the 'new' wears off and a strategy becomes less effective, top marketers turn to another strategy or a new twist. Let's be honest: it would be hard to out-do FREE. My advice? Take advantage of it while it lasts, and get your hands on their products. Its to your advantage to do so, of course!
Definitely take advantage of StomperNet's generous offer today, and do that before the mad rush to their site happens again this evening if you can. You'll save yourself a lot of hassle, and then you can sit back and smile when they release the new video & details in their big announcement this evening π .
One more note before I wrap this up: There are "one time offers" that you will get to see when you request your free products from them. Some people were upset about this when they went through the site, feeling like they were being "sold to death". What those people dont realize is that not all of those offers were originally available. Andy & Brad decided to add to the page as a bonus, after their release was delayed by over 30 hours.
Keep in mind that StomperNet has not released a physical product in an affordable price range in almost 4 years. Outside of their $800/month membership option, you werent able to get ANY of their training material.
And yes, the products they are offering you behind the scenes are the same quality products that their members feel are well worth $800 a month... something worth considering.
If the "OTOs" offend you, you probably arent their target market. If they excite you (!), then you probably are. Take advantage of the free offer and then make your own personal decision on whether you want to get any of their products for a reasonable one-time price (without membership obligation).
A lot of us have been waiting for this option for a long time.
That's it for now - like I said, this post may very well self destruct. I have been a JV partner for Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon since they were just "Andy & Brad" back in 2004. I certainly dont want to jeopardize my professional relationship with them.
Here's the link again: http://www.clicknewz.com/stse2.htm . This is my referral link, as I've mentioned before. I dont earn a dime when you take them up on the free offer... but I am interested in their JV contest and would love to show some nice numbers from our community!
Best,
p.s. I'm placing my own order this morning too. That may sound crazy considering I already have review copies, but I want the official copy of The Net Effect (I only have a press copy, which doesnt include the official cover).
I also heard rumor that the official copy has some additions & edits. And of course I wouldnt miss out on the subscription option, as I really want to continue receiving this monthly. When you get your free copy you'll see why.
Plus, like I said above, some of us have been waiting for the opportunity to 'trial' their training and get their products for a long time now - so I'm off to shop the OTOs and put together my custom package π .
About Lynn Terry
Lynn -
I placed my order a few days ago and am looking forward to getting the DVDs. The beautiful thing about buying SEO products is it doesn't take long to earn your money back if you put the stuff into practice π
This is great news. I now wonder if I have to re-order as i don't yet have any confirmation about my order.
"ll check my CC statement again before the offer ends and try to grab them too.
Thx Lynn (for spilling the news π
That's the truth, Dave! I have been testing out some of these tips for the last few weeks, and the immediate results (in both traffic & profit) are awesome.
Shri - I talked to someone on staff yesterday and they said that if you didnt receive an email confirmation the same day you placed your order... it didnt go through. You probably ordered while the cart was under stress the day they released - you're not alone, several orders got dropped that day. You can resubmit your order. I was also assured that in the case that you end up with duplicate charges, they will take care of that for you ASAP, but its highly unlikely your original order was even charged.
Another quick note that I forgot to mention: Instructions on claiming all of those bonuses will go out on Monday night. So once you take them up on the free offer, check out the video announcement tonight... and then sit back and wait to hear from them Monday evening for full details on claiming your customer bonuses.
Lynn,
I'll now know never to trust you with a secret but I appreciate the tip about the extra bonuses.
When Andy let Ed Dale host his Meet Up at the Stomper Live Conference, it was easy to tell all of the Stomper people really know what they are doing. I ordered the offer as soon as I could get in the order page.
Live6 was such a great time! And Ed Dale really added to that experience in my book π
And yes... It's no big secret that I'm terrible with secrets. LOL
Y'know it's such a shame you couldn't tell any of this stuff Lynn, 'cos I for one would sure have loved to know about it π
I guess I'll have to wait until later to find out about it eh?
Seriously, do those of us who placed an order already need to do anything to claim these bonuses, or will they come automatically?
Thanks,
Alan
I really cant say... but no, you'll automatically get instructions to claim your bonuses late Monday evening (eastern time), so you can just sit back and smile... and know they're coming π
Thanks for the heads up, Lynn. I'm looking forward to the extras. It seems like there will be a lot of info to go through but I can't imagine how valuable it will be to my business!
Thanks Lynn! I guess I got in just in time π
Lynn, the upsell offers didn't offend me. However, I wish they had offered them in a different way. If I had known about them in advance and had more time to consider the purchase, I would nave been more likely to buy them. Let's face it, if their training materials are as good as they are reputed to be, then their offers were an excellent value. However, I purchased the trial subscription for their monthly DVD's, and passed on the other upsell offers. I just found them a little overwhelming.
The video announcement just went live:

π
Kay - great point. I dont think you were alone in the confusion and/or the overwhelm. I bet there are hundreds of people who took them up on the straight offer and regret not putting more consideration into the other products...
I am wondering now if there will be an opportunity to get them at a later time. I'll let you know if I find out anything.
I am one of those who did not get the upsells at first and regrets that I also didn't pay much attention to them but rather just clicked no on them. See what happens when I try to buy in a hurry before I pick up my kids from school!
Awesome bonuses!! I got in almost as soon as the order page went live the very first day, so I'm thankful to be able to get these new bonuses as well.
I also took the monthly DVD offer. Can't wait to get all my stuff. It's like Christmas!!!!
Let me see if there's anything I can for you on this... I know you two are not alone on that point.
Thank you for the text summary of the video content...very helpful! Must add that you crack me up...lol..and it is very reassuring to know that all the big secrets are safe with you!!!

Amy
I guess "time to consider" is the point. We weren't given any. To me, it is a matter of respect. I respect the Stompernet Guys and want them to respect me too--as a new customer with good sense. I want them to treat me as I am--someone who will pay a fair price for the training I need to help me grow my business. Not someone who responds to a series of surprise discounted offers under time pressure.
I have watched the video of the free bonuses. Again, more overwhelm. If all of the one month trial memberships must be used in the same month, it will be impossible to give any of them a fair trial. I am interested in about half of the bonuses, but am not sure that any of them are worth the time to watch the videos or check out the membership sites. Will anyone get any work done in September? (smile)
I don't mean to sound totally negative or ungrateful. They are trying something new, and that, in and of itself is kind of cool. Of course I understand that each of the IM Gurus offering a bonus will have a stellar opportunity to add to their lists. However, it is certain that their lists will become even more "incestuous", so it is difficult for me to understand what they will actually gain.
Regardless, it is all very interesting. Thanks for hosting the conversation.
Kay,
Great points, but I didnt understand the "no time to consider" point you made at the beginning. The offer has been/will be live for over a week. That was actually one of the points that I tried to make clear prior to the official release: that there was no rush.
Would love to hear more from you on that thought.
LOL Amy π
I actually had someone ask me if I was "for real" about it being a leak. They said that it sounded like snake oil more than anything. Not my intention of course - I was a little too excited to share the news π
I am sorry that I wasn't clear.
We had plenty of time to consider the main offer. Your review and video were great. Their videos were great. The sales page explained the main offer in great detail. And, they sent out a lot of review copies so that many of the players would have first hand knowledge and could explain the offer and its value.
If we had been prepared for the upsells--OTO's, in a similar manner, many of us would have been looking forward to ordering the additional training materials as well. Instead, the experience made me feel uneasy. I don't like being pressured. But I hate missing a bargain.
Once again, not the way I prefer to be treated by someone who is trying to bring me on as a customer.
Understood. I was a bit unsure on that aspect as well - as I mentioned in the FAQ thread. But looking back, I recall the video that Andy Jenkins put up on the site while the cart was down... and his explanation of even more bonus offers, etc. I dont imagine he was in a position to think it through as well as he would have under other circumstances - I'll give him that. I know that the team was under incredible stress when the cart server went down on them like it did.
Still, a great point. And again, you're not alone with the regret...
Just read your tweet about the SE position on Google. Great job!
Shannon
Thank you - it went from #7 to #6 in position on Google... and is now at #4 π

Lynn,
This is really awesome news. I have to make a suggestion to all of those out there that did get in on this incredible opportunity.
Here it is, and this is just a suggestion...join Lynn's Elite Forum. Here's the link http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/forum/
I say this for three reasons.
One, it is a bargain.
Two, in 24 hours of joining I had material that was already helping me change my sites for the better and help for the community members on my blogs. (more than I've gotten from other paid forum that I've been in for months)
Three, once you get All The Stomper stuff you may have questions implementing it. Now I am sure the Stomper guys will have something but Lynn works in real time and is clearly an expert.
I have purchased my fair share of products that really never got me anywhere but deeper in debt mainly because I didn't have anyone to help me through the process.
All these bonuses add up to a tremendous amount of information and potential information overload. I am happy that I took the plunge into the Elite forum so I have a working community with expert advice to help me put it all to work for me (and not at $800 at month!)
Just a thought. Thanks for all the great secrets!
Tina
@bestreflections
@newoldmom
I placed my order after all the server issues were fixed.
I very excited about this!
I'll say one thing: These guys are definitely practicing what they preach. Pay close attention and you'll learn a lot just clicking through.
Agreed, Wade!
Tina - I am SO glad to hear you're finding Elite Membership helpful! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on that here - and yes, the private forum there will be a great place to work on "implementation" together π
Tina,
I'm going to sort out my Pal Pal account and sign up to Lynn's Elite Forum. I can see regardless of StomperNet that it is a great investment but with this StomperNet bonus stuff going on...as I'm still pretty new to implementing IM I'm going to need some serious help navigating through all this information. Is it possible to be excited and frightened at the same time?
Not only possible, but actually normal!
My advice is that you be very choosy about which of the 12 bonuses you decide to invest your time into. Pick what lines up with your current focus and your long-term goals so that you can stay focused and learn things that you can apply and get immediate results from.
Approach it with an objective!
Anyone received their course yet? I realize they must've had a ton of orders pile up when the "price" was announced, but it's been a week.
Then again, this day and age, it's comforting to know a few weeks is better than the old 6-8 weeks stuff used to take to get to you.
Kay & Rebecca -and anyone else interested, of course - I just got confirmation that we WILL have the opportunity to add to our orders sometime between now and Monday. I'll let you know as soon as that opportunity becomes available.
Also, I just did a video walk-through and screen shot of my own order - which shows the screen & email confirmations you should have received if your order was successful. I'll give you links to both shortly, and also add that to the FAQ thread.
Hey Steve - As soon as I get an update on shipping, I'll let you know. I just ordered my package tonight, so I'll be towards the tail end of the shipping dates myself.
And here's what I ordered, for anyone curious:

π
I have purchased the offer, all the way here in Sydney. I Can't wait to get my hands on the DVDs
I'm looking forward to it as well, Don. I have review copies of the 2 free products, but I ordered the DVD of the month, and the slimline course - I'm anxious to dig in!
I purchased Stompernet on Sept 4th and still haven't received my packages. Paid for freight plus took them up on the 2 OTO's in all US$431.32 inc freight charges to Australia. I have tried numerous times to email them with no response. Tried phoning them but phone keeps saying no-one available to take call.
Has anyone else had the same problem or does some one know how to get in touch with the Owners of this company.
I too am or was looking forward to getting these packages.
Be aware if you are purchasing products from Stompernet. They don't deliver the goods, and are totally uncontactable or refuse to answer their emails or phones.
I finally got the phone to answer only to find it is a fully automated system with messages only and nowhere to leave a message.
The messages conveniently instruct you to their websites or tell you to email them at email addresses they do not resond to.
Be aware. For those who got their products, congratualations.
I am very dissapointed as I hear they have a good a product.
I am trying to track down ALL details for anyone who has not yet received their StomperNet package.
If this is you, please email me Lynn-AT-ClickNewz-DOT-com and send me your name & email address (as used to order) along with your Customer ID and Transaction ID. If you have multiple receipts, include IDs from each.
Please send this to me ASAP so I can get this master list in to StomperNet. I’d like to get this wrapped up as quickly as possible.
Thanks!
~Lynn
Hey, I ordered 6 weeks ago, and I still haven't gotten a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you ordered here, or through any of my sites, send me an email at Lynn-AT-ClickNewz-DOT-com and I'll make sure to get your details in the right hands. Include the name & email address used to place the order, as well as your Customer ID & Transaction ID. If you have multiple receipts, include the Transaction ID from each. Thanks!
