20 days into the endeavor (partly in response to questions
and comments on the Warrior Forum), I shared Lesson 20 on
the forum itself.

I also gave affiliates, who are helping to spread the word
about the WSO, permission to share that sample lesson in
their marketing.

I chose this lesson BECAUSE it allows me to give you a
peek inside the training, without giving it all away.

At the same time, it does provide some valuable
insights that I hope you find useful.

Here is the actual text from Lesson #20:

Diary – $100k In January 2012 – January 22nd, 2012

Welcome to Day 20… the day that I arrived home and got to
play with my impatient new grandchild for the first time
(she was born six weeks early)

This issue is heavily-influenced by feedback that I’m
getting from you guys… especially your wanting to
see more RESULTS!

Up to this point, most of my efforts have been laying the
groundwork for those results… for reasons that I’ll explain
today!

On the airplane on the way home, I actually flowed
out 23 articles in notepad on my iPhone. My wife
would occasionally glance over at my phone, notice the
smile on my face, and ask what I was doing.

After being home for about two hours, and playing
with the baby most of that time, I felt the time
pressures, and started turning those notes into articles.

Here’s the first one that I published:

Begin Article:

Pretend Internet Marketing Experts, Dreamers, And Doers
Copyright 2012 by Willie Crawford

In internet marketing (the niche that I know best)
as well as many other online niches, it’s often
difficult to tell who the genuine experts are.

That’s important because it makes it difficult to know
who to take advice from.

The danger is that you will spend months, or even years,
following the advice of someone who either sells you
his theory, or who just makes up something that sounds
plausible, and doesn’t even care if it’s accurate… as
long as it sells.

Yes, there ARE people who will sell you anything and
don’t care if it works, but I very strongly believe
that they are a tiny minority.

There are also those who believe that you will not
buy their products unless they “fake it until you
make it.” Many of these people may actually have
really good intentions, but since they believe that
they have to pretend to be something that they are
not, they can be a real threat to your success.

The fake it till you make it types often blur the
lines as to what they are actually qualified to teach
you. Their perceived dilemma is that they feel that
they HAVE TO fake it.

Several years ago, in an interview, I asked my friend
and mentor, Rich Schefren, how one overcomes this.
Rich explained that it’s as simple as being your authentic
self. Identify what you ARE qualified to teach, identify
the audience that does want to learn that, and sell to
them.

Rich’s advice really boiled down to merely acknowledging
that your potential audience members are at all different
levels along the learning curve, and you just need to focus
on the ones who need the level of guidance that you are
genuinely qualified to deliver.

The next pretend expert that you need to be aware of
is “the dreamer” who understand on a certain level but
have never DONE anything and therefore isn’t 100%
certain that what they offer to teach you WORKS. They’ve
STUDIED a lot, but they haven’t physically verified
what they believe to be true.

These are you armchair quarterbacks, your armchair
copywriters, and your armchair marketing experts.

I honestly think that many of the armchair experts
are most dangerous to themselves. I’ve encountered
dozens of them over the years who had studied the same
materials that I had, and knew it well enough that they
frequently quoted the same people that I did… and
often even finished my sentences when I tried explaining
something to them.

I say that they were a danger to themselves, because
they never moved beyond the knowing stage into the
implementation stage, so they could never earn a living
even though they understood how! I honestly believe that
they were afraid to actually do something, or they were
dabbling in too many different things to take any one
thing through to completion.

Either way, these are the experts who, based upon being
old-timers who have put in the time learning, should be
very successful. Yet, they are STUCK at just knowing and
won’t acknowledge that they MUST move beyond that.

Then you have the newbie who listens, learns and applies.
Some of them move up the ladder very rapidly, and are at
the top of the “expert ladder” in 1/10th of the time that
others take, and they ARE genuine experts.

Two quick examples of these “doers” are Russell Brunson
and Ryan Deiss.

I remember when Russell was a college student, wrestling,
and then starting to raise a family. He was on the
Warrior Forum, aggressively learning, testing, and DOING.
Not that much later, I could see that Russell had hit
six-figures, and then seven-figures.

I first notice Ryan Deiss in December 2002, when he was
an attendee at the very first seminar that ever attended
(and spoke at). I don’t believe that he was even 20 years
old yet, and he sat there taking and organizing copious
notes. He asked deep, relevant questions.

Ryan has now probably surpassed most of my fellow
speakers who graced the stage during that era. Ryan now
has other very successful guru’s working for his
companies

I’m compelled to warn my readers to be aware of the pretend
experts and dreamers, but I’m equally as compelled to point
out what sets the doers apart!

The “snakes in the grass” will always exist, and part of the
reason that they will even thrive is because of customer
greed. Greed causes people to make very poor choices.

FEAR also causes people to make poor decisions, and I
believe that is what keeps more people who have the
knowledge from becoming doers!

To become one of the successful doers, you have to actually,
REALLY believe that it is possible. Then you have to
believe that it is possible for you.

For me personally, I grew to believe that it was possible,
after spending a lot of time hanging around with, and even
masterminding with, others who actually walked-the-walk.

I grew to believe that it was possible for me after
observing that many of the ULTRA successful people that I
hung around were really quite ordinary in most respects.
I would even dare say that some were of below average
intelligence… and I even know that they would say this
about themselves.

The differences are:

1) You have to give yourself permission to actually become
successful.

2) You need to work on your mindset, because “going big” is
largely mental. Once you have the correct mindset, then it
JUST HAPPENS.

I know this to be true because that has been my experience.
I grew up on government subsistence (welfare) surrounded by
poverty and no real mega-successful role models. I did have
several teachers who lovingly challenged and inspired me.

I had my big breakthrough after hanging around the ultra
successful, and being bathed in their mindset.

They also taught me that the rich and ultra-successful were
not necessarily “evil”

That “flow” started me and many of my friends along a path
that made success destined to happen. It also programmed us
to always be successful even if we occasionally suffer
setbacks… because we now understand the path and have that
essential mindset.

The final ingredient for me was being actually mentored by
an individual who showed me how I was really the ONLY
person who could hold me back, and then how to get out of my
way and allow unimagined success to flow into my life.

That mentor’s name is Brian Ridgway, and he branded his
mentoring Level 5 Mentoring. It’s so-named because it
shows you how most people operate at one of four lesser,
flawed paradigms, and how by simply examining our world,
you clearly see the mistakes that 99.9% of people are making
that severely limit what they allow themselves to accomplish.

Brian, very generously, offers a free webinar where he shifts
many people’s thinking right on the webinar. Yes, on a free
webinar, you learn how to get out of your own way, step up
your game and no longer need to be a pretend expert, or a
dreamer.

When you see how easy it is to actually become a doer by
merely getting out of your own way, and allowing it to
happen, you’ll smile from ear to ear. So, will those that look
to you for guidance.

You can tune into Brian’s free mentoring at:
http://timic.org/Why/

Another shift that Brian’s free mentoring causes in many
people is that it causes them to see how harmful the first
two pretend experts are to themselves. Those first two
personality types CONDEMN the individual to failure, the
third personality type makes success happen relatively
effortlessly.

Now that you know, what are you going to do about it?

=====================================================

End Article:

Notice that that article is fairly emotionally charged. It’s
very difficult for a person to read the article and not feel
motivated to take some action, even if it’s to fire off an
email to me telling me that they disagree.

I could sense shortly after publishing the article that it
did indeed “piss off” many readers. It had that effect
because it no longer allowed them to blame others for the
results that they’ve gotten in life thus far. Most of the
world tells you that it’s not your fault because they know
that’s what you want to hear. I was deliberately using a
little “tough love!”

People respond to this type of article, they comment on it,
and they share it with others, so this is the type of article
that I will be publishing a LOT of over the next 10 days or
so.

That article is engineered to generate an emotional
under-current that people HAVE to respond to!

I published that article to a tiny list of about 7000 general
internet marketers whom I also felt would “get” that “mindset”
is a major part of the game. It’s what allows you to actually
follow-through with doing the other things that you need to
do in order to have extra-ordinary success.

Developing that mindset and following through DOES often
mean doing things that you are slightly uncomfortable with.
I shared with you earlier that even I have to do that. I
also shared with you my zip lining experience, where I
actually FORCED myself to REPEATELY step off the edge of cliffs,
attached to tiny cables that I didn’t really have that
much faith in. My point was NOT that I was on an exotic
Caribbean cruise, but that I purposely FORCED myself to do
something that I didn’t really want to do, but knew that it
would force me to grow in the direction that I wanted to
move.

In case you missed it, the tactic that I used to keep me
from backing out was to publicly state on my Facebook profile
(and to my wife) that I was going to do something that I
feared. I turned them all into powerful accountability
partners… and it worked!

That article is designed to make people really examine their
online marketing (somewhat bridging the gap between internet
marketing and personal development).

I AM at a tremendous disadvantage in the Personal Development
Niche, and since I’m not known there, needed to create a logical
bridge that people might be willing to step across.

When I’m reading an article, the first question that I
personally ask myself is “What makes this person qualified
to write this article?” I want to know “What makes them an
expert!” If we fail to answer that question in our own
articles, we lose the reader and your article will be largely
a waste of time.

My over-arching goal is… hopefully to get lots of people
re-posting the article, and it’s primary purpose is of course
to get people to check out the Level 5 Mentoring program… where
I’ll earn a commission when people actually benefit from the
free webinar, and because they do benefit, they want the paid
product that goes deeper.

Since the article covers an emotionally charged topic, and I
used the title as my email subject line, I do expect a very
high number of readers.

I will also submit that article to EzineArticles.com and to
IdeaMarketers.com, and will also bookmark it using the tools
that I mentioned to you yesterday.

I’ll share it in the other places already mentioned.

I can see this ONE article generating thousands of visitors
WHEN it goes viral, or gets a lot of commentary from the
right people.

I would also like to explain at this point WHY I
chose personal development or self-help as a niche
to focus on.

First of all, I’m not known AT ALL in the personal
development niche, so I feel that this is a great
test of my methods. I AM starting at the SAME point
that a newbie would be starting at… one of getting
people who don’t know me as an expert in that space,
to listen to me.

Given that people buy from people that they know,
like and trust, that means that I have to figure
out how to get potential customers in that niche to
know, like, and trust me.

Anyone in this situation has two choices… you
can either develop the know-like-and-trust factor,
or you can borrow it.

I chose to do both!

First, I chose to develop it by pushing out a TON
of content that rapidly proves my actual expertise
in this area. Given that I am a newbie in the niche,
that proof has to show that I not only understand
the theory, but that I actually LIVE the principles.

PROVING that I understand and have actually harnessed
the principles is why my writing focuses so much on
my lifestyle. That proves that I live what I’m
teaching day-to-day and as a result, I gain the
benefit… implying if you copy my application of the
principles exactly, then you’ll get the same results.

My readers need to see that I get above-average results
from my applying certain principles. I need to
unequivocally PROVE that.

Given that most authors, in most niches online, generate
little more than a lot of theory, IF I show practical
examples of the application of what I cover, then I can
quickly go from an unknown in the niche to a
much-respected authority

That’s what you need to do too.

YOU, as a subscriber, even have to see my doing that or
you quickly tune out, and don’t stick around long enough
to see how massively effective what I’m doing really
can be.

The second way to get that know-like-and-trust factor,
is to borrow it. That’s where solo ads come in. In placing
solo ads, I’m approaching list owners who already have that
relationship with their list and asking them for a direct or
indirect endorsement.

I also shared with you in an earlier lesson that I’m
actually reaching out to a few friends and asking them
to share my content-rich Facebook posts and events with
their followers.

I’m merely sending them private messages, asking them to
please share a post or Event.

I’m only asking them to do that with content that I feel
that their “Friends” will enjoy or appreciate.

I submit that we ALL have a few close friends that we
can ask a favor of, but also admit that asking favors
of even close friends can feel uncomfortable.

If you want extra-ordinary results you DO have to force
yourself to do things that people willing to live with
ordinary results simply won’t do. I can do that because
I honesty feel that my content is changing lives.

So, I am borrowing credibility. You need to do the
same thing!

You do have friends. They ARE willing to give you a
break especially IF they expect you at some point in
the future to reciprocate.

How well is this working for me?

In the Self-Help Giveaway that I’m using as a case-study,
I’ve moved from not even being in the top 20 (based on
over-all referrals), to where I expect to be in the top 5
VERY soon, and then to fight my way into the top three,
where I WILL earn a free solo mailing in my new niche…
with the #1 position offering that solo mailing to 250,000.

You may feel that you DON’T need a “pep talk” but I hope
that you do see that it’s worth the monumental effort, and
that after you make that initial monumental effort, that
the rest can simply fall in place.

I entered a new niche, made a monumental effort doing
things that I feel slightly uncomfortable with, and after
30 days, I should actually have made over $100k, largely
from soft-selling a product in my new niche, and from
leveraging the credentials of others who are long
established in that space.

I am going up against GIANTS in that space, and because
I am willing to do more, I will prevail, but I will be
doing things that you CAN do too.

My focus the rest of the journey is on buying solo ads
(buying endorsements), but even there, I’m largely
spending money earned from other efforts that I shared
with you in previous lessons.

I have arranged 32 solo ads that will start running as
early as today. For each of those ads, I am using a
unique tracking url, so that I know where my results
came from, and I will share that with you (unless I
was specifically prohibited by the ad seller for some
strange reason).

In the last lesson, I showed you how to set-up for this
solo ad barrage with as little as $25… but that… starting
with that little meant that it would take a few days longer.

Now, thanks to your patience as I laid the framework,
you’ll get to watch it all unfold, and even be able to
use my EXACT solo ad sources if you choose to, and if you
act fast. Of course, over 1200 others will be reading
these same notes, so if you are not fast, you may be in
for a bit of a wait.

Moving forward, I’m going to make the lessons less
verbose, since hopefully by this time, you’ve gotten
the mindset part.

I will add that this IS all an inexact science. There is
a lot of testing and tracking involved, and even the top
marketing experts have to admit that the outcomes are not
always exact.

In fact, in a recent discussion, a friend shared with me
a conversation that he had with a guy who has often
billed himself as “the godfather of internet marketing.”
He shared that this guy taught him that email marketing
is hit and miss. It’s a matter of market-to-message-to-
medium match.

Even at “the very top” this guy sends out mailing some
days that produce a mere trickle of orders, and other
days he hits on just the right combination, and hundreds
of orders flood in.

He tries to be scientific about it but has discovered that
if he keeps making little tweaks, and keeps mailing, that
in the long run, he has a lot of home-runs but even more
singles

In that market-to-message match, I believe that the most
critical ingredient is the words that you use to connect
with your audience one-to-one, and that no one has an
advantage over you in that arena, because it’s an actual
bond/connection “felt” between two individuals.

Willie

In reflecting upon that question, after being asked
in a newspaper interview today, my answer is…

The list is my biggest success secret!

What enables me to sell my products, services,
and ideas, is my abililty to reach out to over
1.5 million subscribers in various niches.

What enables me to rub elbows with multimillionaires
and leading experts in numerous industries is the
fact that I have an asset that they really value.

Almost without exception, when I talk business
with one of the “big dogs” they either ask me how
big is my list, or they point out that they
already know.

I attract joint venture partners and special deals
easily BECAUSE of my list.

What does that mean to you?

It means that you need to focus on building a list.

Start with this free list-building giveaway, where
you build a list just by offering a free ebook or
other gift: http://timic.org/SelfImprovementIsHot/

That giveaway is in the hottest niche on the planet,
one that interests every human being…
self-improvement or personal development.

Get in on that list-building giveaway but go for the
upgrade when offered. That way, you can build three
separate list, in three separate sub-niches… all
from one effort

The other thing that you absolutely need to read is
this report on putting your list-building on the
fast-track by my friend Barbara Ling.

Barbara has been running a successful online business
almost as long as I have, and explains list-building
beautifully.

She’s at: http://WillieCrawford.com/bang/

Listen, today is the LAST business day of 2011.

If you want 2012 to be many times more profitable,
then you absolutely must build your list.

Read Barbara’s report and get started immediately.

Here’s to making 2012 your best year ever.

Willie

So, the number one activity that most online marketers
should really focus on, right from the very beginning,
is list-building.

You build a list of people focused on a specific
interest, you cultivate a trusting/serving relationship
with that list, and then you sell them products and
services that will improve their lives.

Building a successful online business really IS that
easy.

However, before you start building a list, you want to
consider what niche you are going to build your business
in.

You want a niche where a lot of passionate people spend
lots of money, and will continue to do so for a very
long time.

You don’t want to have to keep chasing the latest “shiny
object.”

When I look at all of the niches that you can get into,
I think that “Personal Development” is the absolutely
best one.

Our nature as human beings make us strive for improvement,
and greater acceptance from other humans.

So we will forever focus on:

- Losing Weight
- Feeling Younger
- Looking Prettier
- Feeling And Being Healthier
- Being Happier
- Finding Our True Purpose
- Doing Things Fast, Easier, Better

That’s why I, as an “internet marketer” do have websites
that target niches such as:

- Time Management
- Self Esteem
- Wealth & Abundance
- Law of Attraction
- Memory
- Hypnosis
- Meditation
- Quit Smoking
- Subliminal
- Affirmations
- Positive Thinking
- Self-Help
- Public Speaking
- Improved Health

People in all walks of life, around the globe, spend lots
of money in these niches.

They always have and they always will.

So, how do YOU profit from this knowledge?

You start by joining this free list-building joint venture:
http://timic.org/SelfImprovementIsHot/

To participate, you need to give away a gift… an ebook,
audio, video, piece of software, etc…. using that as an
inducement to get people to join your list.

If you don’t have a free gift to offer, we can actually
help you to come up with something.

I personally, will be building THREE lists, in THREE
niches at once. I’ll build one in weight-loss, one in
law of attraction, and one in wealth and abundance.

To do that, I did have to go for the inexpensive upgrade
offered at: http://timic.org/SelfImprovementIsHot/

To participate (and build one list) is 100% free. Since
the last time that we did this event, we generated
25,000 subscribers, I just see it as making a lot of
sense to build multiple lists from one effort.

Anyway, the deadline for joining this is the morning
of January 5th, but you should go ahead, and get
set up now.

Register here: http://timic.org/SelfImprovementIsHot/

I’ll see you at the bank, or on a nice Caribbean cruise.

It’s not quite Christmas here in northwestern
Florida, but the festivities have definitely
started at my house

I’ll end today with a midnight mass, and then
tomorrow will spend time at my youngest daughter’s
house, and at a party hosted by a friend of many,
many years.

It will be a day of relaxing and catching up with
dozens of old friends who, like me, focus mostly
on the relationships… and very little on the
presents.

Actually, their friendship is one of the greatest
gifts in my life! So is the true friendship of the
many people that I’ve met via the internet over the
past 16 years.
—-

I wanted to end this note by inviting you to meet
a young lady named Roxie, who started an internet
marketing business less than a year ago.

She was a complete beginner, completely unknown,
with no real idea of what she even wanted to sell.

Since Roxie had spent a little time on Facebook,
she reasoned that this was the best place to try
her hand at building a business.

Fast-forward just a few months and Roxie is now
making over $6000 per month just by largely… being
social on Facebook.

She has built some real connections on Facebook,
has built a list using Facebook, and makes lots
of sales as a result.

On Tuesday, December 27th at 7pm Eastern, Roxie
has offered to TEACH you what she is doing on
Facebook, on a free webinar.

She’s already showed me what she is doing, and it’s
something that ANYONE can do. You need absolutely
no technical skill, you just need to be social in
the right way.

Please join Roxie and I on Tuesday evening, by
registering here:
https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/266953958

This free training is next Tuesday, December 27th,
for 7-8pm Eastern. It will be a nice break from
all of the holiday eating

I do expect the webinar line to fill up since it is some
much-needed training, and it’s taught by someone
who hasn’t been doing it so long that they’ve forgotten
what it feels like to be just starting out.

I’ll see you there

Over the past 15 years, I’ve managed to build a database
of 1.4 million subscribers, scattered across numerous
niches.

THAT is one of the things that has propelled me towards
online success the fastest. The money really IS in the
list.

For at least a decade of that time online, I have been
a very active member of the Internet Marketing Warriors
Forum. I was a moderator there for over four years,
and have made over 10,000 posts there

That forum is THE top forum in the internet marketing
niche, and is where many of the top internet marketers
“cut their teeth.”

Many leading “gurus” lurk their silently these days, but
they ARE there

The forum now has over 408,000 registered members!

That simply makes it too big a gathering place to ignore.
It also makes it one of the best places that I can think
of for building your list.

My Christmas Present to you is a free PDF report that
teaches you HOW to build a list there

This Comprehensive Report Will Show You How To
Build A VERY Responsive Email List Using The
Warrior Forum.

Grab this free report now and learn…

- How you can make money while building your list.

- Why the Warrior Forum is such a powerful resource for
building your email list.

- How to keep your unsubscribe rates to a minimum.

- When you should discourage people from joining your
list (and how it can mean more money for you).

- How to apply these same principles in virtually any
niche.

Grab this free report now, and start putting what I
freely share with you to immediate use. If you do, you
should be able to easily start the new year out with

You’ll find this to be one of your most treasured gifts,
especially if you put it to immediate use.

Do that now!

Willie

I show you ways that I currently generate
millions of unique visitors per month to
my own and clients’ websites.

I show you that when it comes to website
traffic generation, some people DO have a
shocking advantage. The rules simply aren’t
the same for all of us.

I’ll prove to you that it’s NOT a level playing
field!

Then I show you the single best way that I’m
advising all of my friends, students and
clients to generate highly targeted traffic.

In the video I show you how to build a
following of people who DON’T just ignore
your emails. Most email marketers get a
less than 5% open rate. I show you how to
get close to 100% opens from your raving
fans.

Watch the video now because I only plan on
leaving it up for another 24 hours. I want
you to know the real story, but I’m already
getting heat (from the powers that be) to take
that video down.

Please watch it now!

===>>> http://timic.org/UltraEffective/

You’ll see why you don’t need to struggle to
get traffic.

You’ll also see how to attract the traffic that
matters… those who are ready to subscribe to
your list, and who very often buy whatever you
recommend.

This is very powerful, and will let you end 2011
VERY profitably.

To your success,
Willie

Many of us rarely focus on one task long enough to take
it all the way to profitable completion. It really is
that simple!

Email, phone calls, television, and Facebook… all throw
so many distractions in our way that it’s a wonder we ever
get ANYTHING done.

New ideas and opportunities come at some of us so fast that
we are constantly changing direction in mid-stream…
meaning we never reach any destination.

It’s no different in the offline world incidentally, where
only a tiny fraction of any business owner’s days is spent
doing anything that actually grows the business… or adds
to the bottom line.

What’s the solution?

Let me share with you how I’m doing it, and why I can say
with complete confidence that I’m on my way to an 8-figure
year!

I personally often unplug the phone, close my office door,
and just focus on completing one project for an hour or two.
I don’t try to focus on one thing for more than an hour or
two at a time because after that productivity often drops off,
and I usually can get more done in an hour of intense focus
than I can in a day of constant distractions and interruptions!

So I often work in 1-hour increments, with short, scheduled
breaks in-between.

I also often grab my laptop and wireless card, and go work
on a fairly isolated beach or in some other place that is
relatively quiet but also inspiring. That is how I stimulate
my creativity, and kick up my energy level.

I work in environments that a conducive to getting things
DONE.

For example, next month, I’ll be on a 5-day cruise with my
mastermind group. We’ll go from Tampa, Florida to Cozumel,
Mexico and back. I’m on the cruise because I’ll be traveling
with a group of 99 other VERY serious entrepreneurs (mostly
multimillionaires, with probably a billionaire or two
sprinkled in there). We will spend 5-days getting to know
each other and sitting around at tables on the deck of the
ship (eye-to-eye) making joint venture deals.

I’ll come off that cruise with probably 2 dozen joint
ventures already in motion, and having pushed numerous
previously-stalled, pre-existing projects along massively.

The cruise IS me working in a very conducive environment,
where I will be able to get a LOT done. I dare say I’ll
get more done in that five days than the average person will
get done in a month in their “normal” working environment.

On top of that, since I will be working, the cruise will
be tax-deductible

I know… you read the above and you think, “Not everyone
can work from the deck of a luxurious cruise ship Willie!”

I would ask, “Why not?”

In fact, while my mastermind trip is for group members only,
I DO have permission to invite a few prospective members…
provided all of the cabins are not filled.

Simply hit reply, and ask me for details if you are
interested.

Another way that practically every business owner that I
know needs to focus is by asking themselves, “Where are
my buying customers really at, and how can I best reach
them?”

Since we are talking about focus and getting the highest
return-on-investment on your time and efforts, you really
need to identify the very best way to actually make more
sales.

Once you’ve identified that method, then you need to
FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY ON THAT for at least a short while.

There’s a video here that shows you exactly how I’m growing
my businesses the fastest, and will be doing so for a while:

This is how I’m actually getting through to my most-targeted,
highly-responsive customers. This is also how I’m growing
my database the fastest… with my ideal customers and clients.

Anyone who has been marketing online for more than a week
has probably heard that they should build a list and then
follow-up with them building a trusting relationship and
offering them products and services that they need.

I’ve been doing that for the past 15 years, and have actually
built a database of over 1.4 MILLION subscribers, scattered
across numerous niches.

We’ve also read somewhere that when you DO manage to build
that list, that it’s worth about $1 per subscriber per month.

First of all, I’m here to tell you that that is definitely
NOT the case for most of the niches that I’m in.

The problem is that my subscribers are on so many different
lists, and have so many different things vying for their
attention, that most NEVER see my emails. They are often
buried in their in-boxes, in a sea of other noise.

In comparing notes with many leading online marketers, I
can tell you that some of them are experiencing email OPEN
rates of less than 5%. Of that 5%, only a fraction click
through to check out their offers, and of course only a small
percentage of those will typically buy.

So, having a mailing list of 100,000 CAN translate to
getting fewer than 1000 clicks from many emails.

To me, that is a SERIOUS problem, and one that explains
why many internet marketers are on the verge of
bankruptcy.

Yes, I have figured out a way around that problem. That’s
what I show you in the video on the page at:

By the way, I apologize in advance that my video is NOT a
Hollywood production. I actually recorded that for a group
who is not impressed by too much flash and glitter. They are
too savvy for that… and also too busy.

They just want the facts so that they can make good
business decisions.

Plain and simple, your biggest challenge in making more sales
is one of capturing your ideal customers’ attention.

I do that masterfully, which is why I confidently stated that
I’m headed for an 8-figure year. It’s also why as I cruise
from Tampa to Cozumel next month… numerous
multimillionaires will stand up and invite me to sit down at
their table as I walk by.

They’ve heard that when it comes to getting more customers via
the internet, that I’m THE EXPERT! They mostly come from the
offline world (direct mail, infomercials, etc.). They value
expertise.

The truth be told, my expertise is nothing more than the sum
total of all that other online and offline marketers have
shared with me over the past 15 years. It’s not unique
knowledge, but I DO know how to distil it down, and how to
put it into action.

That know-how seems to be fairly rare, and is therefore
valued.

Oh, why “60 days” in the subject line? If you actually buckle
down and focus for the next 60 days, you’ll get so much done
that I’ll give you permission to take the rest of the year
off if you want to.

You’ll be able to afford to because you’ll be actually getting
revenue generating projects completed!

will go away any moment, by clicking here.
