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.

Just follow these steps

1) Grab this almost free software. The price is going up
using the dimesale model, so grab it here first:

http://WillieCrawford.com/SiteJack/

2) Look at any product launch announcement list, or join
my Facebook groups here:
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/17066638119/

- https://www.facebook.com/groups/48539366633/

Find a product or two that will be launching soon.

3) Use the software and video training provided in #1 to
find recently expired/abandoned domains that are still
indexed, and still getting LOTS of clicks. Those domain
names should relate to the product that you found in #2

4) Set up simple sites on those domains as explained
in the videos in #1.

5) Grab the attention of the search engines for you new
domains as instructed in #1.

6) Route that traffic to the affiliates products that you
located in #2.

7) Collect commissions without having to build a list,
buy advertising, or do any type of promotions. If you
follow the instructions layed out in #1, you WILL make
sales from organic traffic.

Rinse and repeat, or teach you child to do it for you.

9) Buy me dinner the next time that we cruise together

Let me share the actual email with you, then I’ll
share the lessons.

Subject: [photo inside] – Sometimes you’ve got to pick
yourself up and carry on.

Sometimes you’ve got to pick yourself up and carry on.
Orange you glad I sent this to you? …
(photo by Art Mejia)

Now the lessons:

1) I noticed the email first because the “From” field
contained a trusted friend’s name.

2) The “Subject” line promising a great photo nudged
me further to open it. Hint: A promise of new
photos of kids or pets works beautifully.

3) It made me smile, causing me to want to pass
it on.

You see, Mark is an expert marketer who totally
gets great copywriting, human psychology, and
building great relationships.

That also gave me a segue to share with you how I
expect to sell THOUSANDS of copies of my simple
soul food cookbook in the next 3 weeks, and how
you can do the same with a similarly appropriate
product.

In fact, I have absolutely no doubt that each of
the next three weeks will be six-figure weeks

I wrote my cookbook back in 2000, and it has
been a steady seller ever since. That proves that
you don’t need a breakthrough new product to do
well selling things online.

You DO need a product that lots of people want,
and you need a way to let them know about it, and
you need to be able to communicate with them
effectively.

I probably learned some of the things I understand
on each of those aspect directly from watching
Mark over the years.

At the same time, I do watch what is working best
in my marketing very closely, and I notice changes.

One of the things that has changed the most in
the past year is that far more people are now
accessing the web via mobile devices (iPhones,
iPads, Androids, tablets, etc) than are accessing
the internet via regular computers.

I’ve seen statistics telling me that five times
as many people access the internet via their
mobile devices as do with a computer.

Those same people do BUY right over their mobile
devices… a lot of them

That told me that my customers for my cookbook are
MOSTLY not on computers, and that if I don’t reach
out to them, then I’m PREVENTING 85% of my potential
sales.

Since I know that most of my competitors are facing
the same problem, it also showed me an EASY way to
gain a competitive advantage.

I simply had a mobile app developed that let people
access my website (and buy my products) right over
their mobile devices.

I had apps developed for the iPhone, iPad, Android,
and HTML5 compatible devices. That lets people on
practically ANY smart device access and interact
with my website without ever going online.

Now, millions of people can pull up my website while
in the kitchen and look up a recipe, or request one
from others who have my apps installed, or read
my latest blog posts, or watch a cooking video
posted on my YouTube channel, or visit Facebook,
Twitter, and numerous other places right from online.

This all sounds high tech, but it cost me less than
$500 to open the door to hundreds of millions of
potential users.

Another HUGE benefit of my apps is the ability to
send “push notifications.” I can, at any time, log
into a control panel, compose a short message, and
send it to EVERYONE who has my apps installed. In
seconds, MILLIONS of people could potentially be
getting a popup message on their phones (one that
almost 100% of people can’t resist responding to).

Naturally, I don’t want to abuse that functionality,
or people will just uninstall the app. However, it
does let me send appropriate, very effective
messages to my ideal customers at will.

Those messages get delivered, and then get read!

Anyway, you can watch a video that explains why and
how I generate traffic to my websites using apps,
and also get your own (for under $500) at:
http://TheAppSolutions.com

That ends the lesson for this morning, but I do want
to invite you to download, and share my apps.

You can download the iPhone and iPad versions at:
http://Chitterlings.com/iPhone/

You can download the Android version at:
http://Chitterlings.com/Android/

Please go ahead and download the app now, and start
using it, and I’d love your feedback. The only feedback
that I’ve gotten thus far is that they want me to post
more recipes within the recipes tab right on the app.

Many days, I share dozens of tried-and-true recipes on
the blog itself, which feeds right to the blog tab on
the app, updating in real-time, so you DO have access
to literally thousands of recipes with this simple
free app.

So go ahead and download it, and if you want to checkout
the cookbook that motivated me to create the app in
the first place, check out:
http://Chitterlings.com/cookbook.html

As you can see, running a successful online business
really is simple, and even fun.

Thanks for listening.

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:

==>> http://TheAppSolutions.com

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:

==>> http://TheAppSolutions.com

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.

Anyway, check out this video: http://TheAppSolutions.com

There is a special offer in that video too. To take advantage
of the special, just click the Google Checkout button
beneath the video.

That special offer is going away in a couple days so go ahead
and check it out now.

After doing that, simply FOCUS!

Willie

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!

The answer is simple.

Product launches still work like crazy.

P.S. Put this one down as one of those “almost too
good to be true” deals – a “behind the scenes” look
at Jeff’s multi-million-dollar strategies…

http://timic.org/ProductLaunchBlueprint/

P.P.S. There’s even a hidden “resources” section
that he must have snuck in at the last second. It
doesn’t show up in the training video, but it’s in
the Blueprint and it’s killer.

Would it surprise you if I told you that, when I look
at all of the online product launches I’ve had the
priviledge of studying from behind the scenes, I would
consider more of them failures than successes?

Sure some of them did “ok” but they could have
easily done 10 times better with just a few little
“tweaks.”

Let me touch upon just a couple of those here, in-case
you’re contemplating rolling out your own product over
the internet.

Perhaps the single biggest killer of product launches
is an unwillingness to work with others in your niche.

They are NOT your competitors, they are potential joint
venture partners and affiliates.

That often means that you have to help out others FIRST.

In fact, there is no easier way to get noticed in your
niche than to join in on a big product launch and make
more sales than most of the other affiliates.

Believe it or not, it’s not THAT difficult to get your
name on “the leaderboard” in one of those affiliate
sales contest. The reason is that most of those other
affiliates are promoting a ton of other products during
the launch period. They don’t really, really focus their
efforts on any one product.

By concentrating your efforts on one product, for weeks,
or even a month or more, you could easily become the
top affiliate for that product, and get your name in
light.

Why would you want to do that?

Two reasons…

1) All of the other affiliates, who are also YOUR
potential affiliates, notice that you are “a player.”

2) You create some sense of reciprocity or obligation
with that product owner. You make them more likely to
say yes to promoting your product, and if they’ve just
finished a big product launch, their list is the
“hottest” one in your niche.

What better list than the buyers list, comprised of
proven buyers from all of the other affiliates’ lists.
That’s what the person just wrapping up a major launch
in any given niche has. If you helped them to achieve
that success, they WILL feel obligated to return the
favor.

If you plan far enough in advance, you could stack
up the favors, that you could “call in” when you
launch!

So one of the big “secrets” to a massively successful
product launch… is having the partience to put your
launch on hold and help out someone else.

Believe it or not, there are many marketers who are
simply unwilling to do this, and so they often struggle
for YEARS!

The simple formula is “Help the other person first, and
use their launch to build your name recognition and
reputation for delivering, and then to seek reciprocity.”

When you do that, and you then approach all of the
other affiliates in your niche (your competitors),
they are more likely to say yes because they know that
YOU can produce results. They will say yes, because
they are hoping for reciprocity when they decide to
do a product launch.

The other MAJOR piece of this puzzle that is missing
is that you need to have a really great product.

You need to have a product that works beautifully,
and that others will be happy to get behind because
they know that it will make their customers/subscribers
happy.

If they look closely at your product and they see that
it’s a piece of garbage, they are going to quietly
back away, as they should. If they don’t, they will
soon find themselves out of business as they lose
all credibility with their list members.

The only other piece of the puzzle is how do you
actually find these pools of affiliates just waiting
for great products to sell.

I’ll suggest two groups on Facebook as a starting
point. One is call, “Affiliate Products Proven To
Sell.” Just as the name implies, this group is for
product owners to list their products that they
already have a proven track record for. That makes
it a great place to find products that will sell
well for you too.

You can join that group free at:
http://timic.org/proven

Your request to join the group does have to be
approved by an admin, but that should happen fairly
quicky.

The second group is called “Big Ticket Affiliate
Marketers.” Just as that name implies, these are
affiliate marketers who prefer to focus on higher
priced items.

You can list your product that’s launching there,
and you can find great products that others are
launching there.

Membership to that group is also moderated, and you
can join free at: http://timic.org/bigticket

The admins usually approve a request to join the
group fairly quickly.

With both of the above groups, keep on-topic to
avoid being banned from the group.

Having a great product launch is about laying
the ground work early, and adhering to a few simple
rules. Follow the ones outlined above and you are
off to a great start.

Timing, Scarcity, Decisiveness And Money
Copyright 2011 by Willie Crawford

In my 15 years in business online, few things have been
more critical to my success than timing and decisiveness.

Dozens of times, I’ve come up with a new product idea,
or been approached with an idea, where its success or
failure was determined primarily by timing.

In a few instances, the market simply wasn’t ready for the
idea. Perhaps technology still needed to advance a little
more, and if that idea was “re-attacked” six months or a
year later, it was destined to be massively successful.

This was often true of software or video-related projects
that I’ve worked. Often, something as simple as faster,
cheaper bandwidth was the success catalyst that was needed.

In some instances, delaying meant that a tiny window of
opportunity went away. I watched this happen for several
people who were contemplating Facebook-related products
that relied upon FBML (Facebook’s unique HTML markup
language).

Before they could roll out their products, which they
over-thought, Facebook did away with the need for FBML,
opening up their platform for iframed content.

Now, if you visit the Facebook Developers pages you’ll
see…

“We are in the process of deprecating FBML. If you are
building a new application on Facebook.com, please
implement your application using HTML, JavaScript and CSS.”

In the instance just mentioned, maybe the product would
have been short-lived, since the interface change would
have made the FBML product obsolete, but then again, the
product owner would have a list of people needing to know
how to upgrade.

I’ve also watched far too many people totally bogged
down with the scarcity mindset, and the need to claim to
be the creator of a concept.

Often, dozens if not thousands of people notice a problem
(or an opportunity) at the same time.

Several people were working on “inventing” the automobile
at the same time.

Numerous people were working on inventing a flying machine
at the same time.

Online today, I see numerous people focused on creating
products that teach you to leverage the Facebook PHENOMENON.

There are over 750 MILLION registered users on Facebook,
and half of them log in every day. The number is racing
toward a billion

How could any business person afford not to notice this.

How could anyone who markets online not notice the
opportunity to step in front of the wave.

The fact is that more people than you can imagine are
stepping in front of this wave, and that it’s somewhat
futile to even consider “who first noticed what.”

Instead, YOU should be focused on how you can tap into
the market. I personally have focused on offering fan
pages and applications to local business owners. I’ve done
this BECAUSE the average small business owner that I deal
with is going to spend around $300,000 advertising his
business in the next year.

I simply step in and show him that part of that money can
be more effectively spent on getting noticed where his
customers congregate… which IS Facebook.

My friends Ron and Rick Davies, along with their partner
Michael Somerville offer VERY affordable, in-depth
training on just about all aspects of how Facebook works.

In fact, they have an epic 2-hour video that is like a
PhD in Facebook that you can watch for free at:
http://timic.org/facebook/

That video will totally educate you on why, no matter who
you are, you can’t afford to ignore Facebook.

My friends Jim and Emily Graham also teach you about
Facebook but from a slightly different angle, and they
offer to set up 5 fanpages, YouTube channels,etc., FOR YOU.

You see, there are those who want to be shown how, and they
will take that teaching and run with it. Some will even set
up businesses using that new-gained knowledge.

Others, want to understand the basics but are already too
swamped to do it themselves. They need for Jim’s team
to do it for them… something Jim tells me that his team
can get done in about 48-72 hours, with the real “long
pole in the tent” being just getting the customer to fill
in the form describing what they need.

You can watch a 1-hour video where Jim and Emily teach you
all about Facebook fan pages, and why you absolutely need
several at: http://timic.org/moolah/

Check out both of those videos. Each is actually like
taking a community college course, or sitting through a
live workshop.

You will learn a lot, and if you’re like me, you will find
yourself taking LOTS of notes.

However, taking lots of notes won’t help you if you don’t
take action.

Right now, most of your competitors have absolutely no
concept of the power of 95% of what you will learn in
either of those free videos.

Right now, MILLIONS of business owners are trying to
figure out how to tap into the 750 million sets of eyeball
on Facebook. Some are putting up fan pages, but 90% of
those are getting it all wrong and so their fan pages aren’t
effective.

When you do a fan page correctly, it can:

- Get people to join the fan page so that you can update
them on what’s going on in your business.

- Get them to share the fact that they like your fan page
so that all of their followers can notice this in their
feeds.

- Get them to give permission to be automatically added
to your email autoresponder. What’s important here is that
they will join your list using their BEST email address…
the one that they used to register at Facebook.

- Get them to automatically register for one of your
webinars.

- Get them to automatically confirm that they are attending
one of your Facebook events.

- Get them to give you permission to collect the data that
they share on Facebook. You can literally pull down their
data to your database where you can later analyze it, meaning
you’ll have a ton of customer/subscriber demographics.

- Send regular updates directly to their Facebook in-boxes.

- Invite up to 5000 people in your database to join your
fan page… using Facebook’s infrastructure to invite them.

You can do all this and 50 times more WHEN you put in a
little time learning exactly how Facebook works, and what
all you are allowed to do there.

Can you see the power in this.

All of the things that I mentioned above are permission
based, but that permission is granted just by the Facebook
user clicking a button agreeing to grant you the requested
permissions. If you offer something that they want, then
there is no real reason for them NOT to do this.

Ok, I’ve gotten a little long-winded, but it’s because I
want you to understand the REAL POWER available to you on
the Facebook platform. There’s nothing even close to it
on the internet!

Read back through this note if your head isn’t buzzing with
a dozen new ideas. Then watch one or both of the free videos
shared above.

Then, please thank me by “liking” MY Facebook fan page at:
https://www.facebook.com/WillieCrawfordMarketingTips

or my cooking fan page at:
https://www.facebook.com/SoulFoodRecipes

Yes, I have more than one fan page. I have one for each
interest that I have. I’ve been teaching internet marketing
since 1996. I’ve been cooking all my life (since around
age 7), and I wrote a cookbook back in 2000

Ok, time to stop thinking and start DOING. That’s the
real secret.

Willie

Let me explain.

In my job as a joint venture broker, I put together
deals, and make projects work. Some of the projects
are HUGE and fairly complicated. Others are very
straightforward and usually just involve me
recruiting hundreds of affiliates to help with a
product launch.

So, I wanted to see if YOU could benefit from any
of the projects that I’m currently working. Let
me give you a quick run-down of a few of them.

1) If you currently have a product on Clickbank
that has proven conversions AND that works as
advertised, I can probably place you in front of a
whole network of Clickbank affiliates looking for
new products to actively promote.

This is very powerful because, 95% of affiliate
that you recruit for most affiliate programs
actually end up doing very little. The other 5%
end up making 95% of the sales just because they
market more effectively… and actually put in
the effort.

If you have a Clickbank product that you’d like
to be considered for showcasing to this network
of waiting affiliates, leave me at note at my
support desk: http://WillieCrawford.com/helpdesk/

Please use the category “Personal For Willie”

2) If you are looking for an actual JOB, my
partners and I are currently hiring salespeople
in 64 different American cities.

Your job would be to approach local business
owners and offer to send them more customers
at no up-front costs. We get paid by taking a
precentage of the sales that we are directly
responsible for that business owner making.

It’s a non-decision for that local business
owner.

You, as the local sales person would earn $60,000
to $300,000 per year… based upon your efforts.

There is absolutely no cost to you for this.
You simply submit an application, we may ask
fot a resume, after a phone call or two, we
let you know if you’re hired, we train you,
and you start working.

We need people for this NOW, and you can get
complete detail at: http://timic.org/Jobs

3) I guess you could call this an “ad swap.”

We have a website that is getting millions of
visitors per day, and we’d like to get that
number into the tens of millions.

If you have an email subscriber list of at
least 10,000, then we may be able to help
each other.

We would want you to email your subscribers,
telling them about our site. In exchange for
that, we can display your ads on our site using
a weighted formula… so the larger your list,
the more exposure you get to our millions of
visitors.

If you can’t see the possibilities there, then
you not my target JV partner

If you’d like more details on this, simply
leave me a note at my support desk:
http://willieCrawford.com/helpdesk/
and in your reply tell me that you have a
large list, and would like more details on
my offer. I send you a short PDF that explains
everything.

4) I know for a fact that many internet
marketers struggle with just finding a
product that will sell.

They send out email after email, and often
make ZERO sales.

The problem is that they are not offering
their customers what they want… which is
real solutions to their problems.

I have several clients with products that sell
VERY well. In fact, I don’t take on a new
client (as a JV broker) unless I’m convinced
that their product will do “high six-figure”
to multiple millions in sales.

What that means to you is that I have proven
sellers that I can tell you about, and if you
promote them to your list, you WILL make sales
… provided the product is appropriate to
your list.

To find out about some of these proven sellers,
just join my free Facebook group, “Affiliate
Product Proven To Sell” at http://timic.org/Proven

Any member can tell others about affiliate
products BUT they must be proven sellers.

If you prefer bigger ticket items, join my
free Facebook group, “Big Ticket Affiliate
Marketers” at http://timic.org/BigTicket

I do have clients with products paying over
$1000 in commissions per sale, and I do
routinely post about this in that group.

Ok, those are things that I’m working on
today

If none of those things felt like a fit for
you, then there’s a good chance that it’s
because yuo don’t have much of an email list.

I personally have over 1 million subscribers,
and I’m working on my second million. I tell
EXACTLY how I did that in a recorded interview
that you can get here (in MP3 and PDF):
http://WillieCrawford.com/1MillionSubsInterview/

I am on the verge of turning that interview into
a product on Amazon Kindle, at which point I
will probably pull it down from the link above.

So go ahead and get that now… so that you
don’t miss out.

Thanks for listening

I hope that you found it all helpful.

Willie
