			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently received an email from my good friend Terry Dean,<br />
someone I&#8217;ve know since around 2003.  Terry&#8217;s email shared<br />
that he was getting $4.68 per unique click from promoting<br />
one affiliate product.</p>
<p><a href="http://TheRealSecrets.com/MySingleHighestRecommendation/"><img src="http://WillieCrawford.com/TerryDean.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
       Terry Dean</p>
<p>That product was one that I helped my online accountability<br />
partner to launch, several years ago <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It caused me to go back and look over my own numbers, and<br />
based upon what I discovered, this is the ONLY affiliate<br />
program that I can say has paid me commissions, consistently<br />
for 3-4 years now.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s significant!</p>
<p>David Perdew, who set it all up, often talks about &#8220;one<br />
and done&#8221; product launches. Those are the types of launches<br />
where you do one or two promotions for a product and then<br />
it&#8217;s pulled off the market. </p>
<p><a href="http://TheRealSecrets.com/MySingleHighestRecommendation/"><img src="http://WillieCrawford.com/DavidPerdew.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
       David Perdew</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I personally DISLIKE those<br />
types of promotion for two reasons:</p>
<p>1) It means that as an affiliate marketers, even if I am<br />
successful at selling my customers that products, I need<br />
to look for something else to sell them a week later. The<br />
big DISCONNECT there is that that means I can&#8217;t really<br />
even give them time to benefit from what I just sold them<br />
before I&#8217;m suggesting that they buy something else. </p>
<p>I honestly don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s fair to my subscribers who<br />
would really benefit from that first product IF they would<br />
just take the time to go through it and actually APPLY what<br />
it teaches. I shouldn&#8217;t be distracting them from being able<br />
to do that.</p>
<p>2)  With many promotions that we do, our subscribers may<br />
not even get around to reading an email, or being ready<br />
to buy, until a week or more later.  With the one-and-done<br />
promotions, by the time they are ready to focus on the offer,<br />
it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>So, we waste all that effort. Those are two reasons that<br />
I&#8217;m focused on the product that Terry recommends. It&#8217;s<br />
something that you can honestly promote today, and earn<br />
commissions on a year or more later.</p>
<p>David actually &#8220;tags&#8221; your referrals in his database in a<br />
way that you earn LIFETIME commissions&#8230; and you get credit<br />
even if they delete their cookies because his affiliate<br />
tracking system does not depend upon cookies.</p>
<p>The &#8220;creame de le cream&#8221; of David&#8217;s products is his<br />
Niche Affiliate Marketing System Workshop, which is THE<br />
very best internet marketing workshop that I have ever<br />
personally attended.</p>
<p>In fact, I now teach at each of David&#8217;s workshops. NAMS<br />
#8 is coming up in August, and unless I&#8217;m mistaken, I will<br />
have only missed teaching at one out of the eight.</p>
<p>Take a minute now and check out what I&#8217;m convinced is the<br />
very best, hands-on, internet marketing training out there.<br />
There is a member-only affiliate program that is also, as<br />
I just explained, in my opinion, the best affiliate program<br />
out there.</p>
<p>Check it out here:<br />
<a href="http://TheRealSecrets.com/MySingleHighestRecommendation/">http://TheRealSecrets.com/MySingleHighestRecommendation/</a></p>
<p>Oh, here&#8217;s part of Terry&#8217;s email, that caused me to go back<br />
and take a hard look at my numbers&#8230; edited slightly so that<br />
we can track responses:</p>
<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>></p>
<p><strong>Subject: affiliate payout $4.68 per unique click</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a numbers guy.</p>
<p>Either something works or it doesn&#8217;t based on the numbers.</p>
<p>Track everything. </p>
<p>Measurement eliminates argument.</p>
<p>Many affiliate programs will hype you up by claiming huge<br />
payouts. </p>
<p>They&#8217;ll talk about the prizes you can earn in the new contest,<br />
or they&#8217;ll have their affiliates compete with each other to be<br />
the top of the scoreboard.</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with any of that.</p>
<p>But when it comes down to it, it&#8217;s about the numbers.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s also about delivering value to the customers.</p>
<p>This morning I was running through some of my affiliate<br />
accounts.</p>
<p>And I took notice of an affiliate program that I haven&#8217;t given<br />
much attention to, but sends me money through Paypal every single<br />
month.</p>
<p>I promoted them in September 2011, so less than a year ago.</p>
<p>And did some other minor mentions of them, but haven&#8217;t done<br />
anything heavy.</p>
<p>What jumped out to me from the stats is they have paid me $4.68<br />
per unique clickthrough so far.</p>
<p>And they&#8217;re not finished yet. Each month they send me money for<br />
clicks I sent 8 months ago.</p>
<p>That $4.68 per unique click for me has been increasing each<br />
month.</p>
<p>You can find out more about this affiliate program and register<br />
for free here:<br />
<a href="http://TheRealSecrets.com/MySingleHighestRecommendation/">http://TheRealSecrets.com/MySingleHighestRecommendation/</a></p>
<p>It is a two tier program so you&#8217;re also paid off JV referrals.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s unique here is they pay:</p>
<p>- Commissions on their entire product funnel from $5 to $500</p>
<p>- Multiple free eCourse link bait for driving new members</p>
<p>- First click referral tagging &#8211; get paid forever off a referral<br />
today (that&#8217;s what I like)</p>
<p>Basically you earn more money every time they send out an email<br />
to those you&#8217;ve referred.</p>
<p>Awesome deal!</p>
<p>At least I think so. Seeing the numbers this morning means I<br />
will be promoting for them more.</p>
<p>And I haven&#8217;t even mentioned the quality of the products yet.</p>
<p>The reason those commissions keep growing is because members<br />
STICK with them.</p>
<p>They receive value. </p>
<p>And once they see the quality of what is offered, they buy more.</p>
<p>This program is run by David Perdew who runs the NAMS events<br />
(Niche Affiliate Marketing System).</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where my initial promotion came from. I attended the<br />
event as a speaker and was impressed with how it was a<br />
step-by-step workshop to help people at any level&#8230;from beginner<br />
to advanced.</p>
<p>In addition, they have a membership program with 17 ways to give<br />
you better training, content, and tools for your online business<br />
today.</p>
<p>Check it out:<br />

<p>P.S. If you&#8217;re in any type of internet business field, and<br />
you&#8217;re not an affiliate with them, why in the world not?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How And Why I Am LITERALLY Installing A New Operating System In My Body</strong><br />
Copyright 2012 by Willie Crawford</p>
<p>Many scientist and historians point out that we humans<br />
live in a very different world than our ancestors did,<br />
and that we need to interact with it differently.</p>
<p>Throughout most of human history, the average person<br />
didn&#8217;t live past the age of 30, and food was in short<br />
supply for most people much of the time.</p>
<p>At the same time when we came upon, or produced, a large<br />
supply of nutrient rich food, we only had fairly crude<br />
ways of storing or preserving it.</p>
<p>That meant that we often were better off gorging ourselves<br />
on the meats, honey, and other calorie rich foods that<br />
we rarely got, any time that the opportunity presented<br />
itself.</p>
<p>That also meant that it was to our advantage to be<br />
genetically coded to STORE as many calories as practical<br />
when food was plentiful, so that those calories would be<br />
available when we couldn&#8217;t find food.</p>
<p>If you think of your genes as the computer coding that<br />
tells you body how to carry out functions necessary for<br />
life, then you can see that it is very similar to the<br />
operating system on your computer. It runs in the<br />
background, allowing you to do all kinds of magical<br />
things without having to think about it too much.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s mostly a good thing, because when something<br />
happens like you accidentally cutting yourself, you don&#8217;t<br />
need to focus on telling your body how to stop the bleeding,<br />
fight off infections, and heal that cut. It&#8217;s sort of<br />
nice to have the happen with you being able to largely<br />
forget about the cut as soon as the pain subsides.</p>
<p>Our emotions, thinking, and how we interact with each<br />
other is also programmed into us. </p>
<p>Some of it, such as the desire to procreate, the fight<br />
or flight response, a mistrust or fear of things out<br />
of the ordinary&#8230; these things still often serve us<br />
well. Indeed, we would probably die off as a species<br />
without most of them.</p>
<p>However, just as Microsoft or Apple frequently updates<br />
their computer operating systems to accommodate changes<br />
in our broader world, we humans need to update our<br />
operating systems.</p>
<p>This concept is actually one that I didn&#8217;t create but<br />
adopted from several books that I&#8217;ve read, and that I&#8217;ll<br />
share with you at another time.</p>
<p>Clearly, our body&#8217;s programming to store EVERY spare<br />
calorie is working against us. In the U.S., I&#8217;ve seen<br />
studies suggesting that as many as 2/3rds of us are<br />
overweight.</p>
<p>We consider ourselves the most-intelligent creatures on<br />
the planet, so certainly we can SEE what is happening,<br />
see that we need to change “our programming,” and do<br />
that.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t we?</p>
<p>The answer is actually YES.</p>
<p>With the Human Genome Project, we mapped out all of our<br />
genes and can even identify that portion of our genetic<br />
code that triggers aging, starts or stops certain cells<br />
from reproducing, and decide what to allow or block from<br />
entering certain cells. </p>
<p>We can actually influence our genetic makeup enough to<br />
even turn off our bodies tendency to store all of those<br />
spare calories.  When we do that, the entire obesity<br />
problem simply goes away!</p>
<p>Before most of us can do anything that major, we need to<br />
reprogram our thinking. </p>
<p>Most of us have been socialized and indoctrinated, or<br />
conditioned, to think a certain way. </p>
<p>The reality is that many of us no longer think&#8230; we<br />
simply do what we are told to do!</p>
<p>The problem with that is that we are often told to do<br />
things, and we are told to think in ways that actually<br />
work against us.  That thinking keeps us &#8220;socialized&#8221; but<br />
also almost too docile!</p>
<p>Most of us aren&#8217;t born thinking the way that we currnetly<br />
do, we are taught as we grow up NOT to think in ways that<br />
would actually work better for us and allow us to do more.</p>
<p>Consider that most of us as children didn&#8217;t put any<br />
limitation on what we could have, or be, or do. </p>
<p>&#8220;Caring adults&#8221; taught us to settle for less, and to<br />
&#8220;have more reasonable expectations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Caring adults, and the institutions that they built,<br />
taught us not to expect to be truly happy, to feel a<br />
real sense of purpose, to expect to be really loved<br />
or to risk loving freely, etc. </p>
<p>They taught us that &#8220;money doesn&#8217;t grow on trees&#8221; but<br />
they didn&#8217;t teach us that money is nothing more than<br />
a concept, and that the supply really is limitless. </p>
<p>They taught us that as you get older you should expect<br />
all kind of degenerative diseases to set in and that<br />
your senior years HAVE to be very uncomfortable.</p>
<p>They programmed you&#8230; passing along that belief system,<br />
not because they were intentionally evil, but because<br />
that was what they were programmed to believe.</p>
<p>As I said earlier, I&#8217;m updating my operating system,<br />
and since what we do is a factor of what we believe,<br />
you have to start with updating YOUR belief system.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think that you will argue that we have more<br />
knowledge/understanding, and technology at our fingertips<br />
that at any time in history.</p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t that suggest that we also have a greater<br />
capability to figure out the solutions to seemingly<br />
insurmountable challenges than at in time in history?</p>
<p>If that is the case, then we each have to begin by<br />
honestly asking ourselves, &#8220;what is holding us back.&#8221;</p>
<p>What is keeping us STUCK?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a tool to help you examine that first question<br />
that you MUST answer before you can begin updating<br />
your operating system:  <a href="http://goo.gl/m9tj8">http://goo.gl/m9tj8</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a free webinar, that will actually step you<br />
through asking some rather uncomfortable questions.</p>
<p>An unwillingness to ask difficult questions equates<br />
to an unwillingness to upgrade your operating system.</p>
<p>You notice how slow your computer is running, and you<br />
sense that it is going to fail any day NOW&#8230; yet you<br />
refuse to simply download and install the updates.</p>
<p>You stick with the old  and familiar, even when it&#8217;s<br />
uncomfortable, and you know that there is something<br />
better!</p>
<p>It really is that simple. Start with your mind since<br />
your thinking controls what you will do to help your<br />
body.  It&#8217;s a symbiotic relationship but mind seems<br />
to have the upper-hand <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It actually doesn&#8217;t but that&#8217;s a topic that we&#8217;ll save<br />
for another day.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Simply seeking to understand&#8230;  <a href="http://goo.gl/m9tj8">http://goo.gl/m9tj8</a></p>

Copyright 2012 by Willie Crawford</p>
<p>Back in 1990, while stationed at Yokota Air Base,<br />
Japan, I let some co-workers talk me into climbing<br />
Mt. Fuji.</p>
<p>It was a rather long, somewhat tedious climb, that I<br />
think took me five hours.  We started our climb at a<br />
&#8220;station&#8221; already partly up the mountain&#8230; where<br />
buses commonly dropped people off.</p>
<p>We climbed at night, when it was cooler, with<br />
flashlights strapped to our heads. It was fun looking<br />
down the mountain and seeing all of the other lights,<br />
like a trail of ants <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The air got thinner and thinner as we climbed, and<br />
I had to stop and take numerous breaks.  We arrived<br />
at the top somewhere around sunrise, if I remember<br />
correctly. </p>
<p>After a short break, where we admired the scenery,<br />
noticing that the water was actually bubbling in the<br />
crater of the still-active volcano, and taking lots of<br />
photos, we headed back down.</p>
<p>All the way up, I followed a well-traveled path. I stuck<br />
to the zig-zag trail most of the way back down too.</p>
<p>However, I did stop once, and noticing that if I got<br />
off the trail for a while, I could probably save<br />
50 yards, by going more direct.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when life taught me that often it&#8217;s better<br />
to follow the well-blazed trail than to think that you<br />
are smarter than tens of thousands of others who could<br />
follow simple, proven instructions.</p>
<p>Almost as soon as I stepped outside the carved pathway,<br />
I could sense that the hill was a lot steeper. In  fact,<br />
it was so steep, that I soon began to slide down the side<br />
of the mountain.  I dropped to the ground where I<br />
continued to roll until&#8230; luckily I  arrived back on the<br />
trail.  </p>
<p>Getting up, dusting off my torn clothing, and noticing<br />
only a few scrapes and bruises, I waited for my friends<br />
to catch up with me, then smiled sheepishly, and stuck<br />
to the trail the rest of the way down <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Online today, I see many people who want to start<br />
businesses, also think that they are smarter that all<br />
of the successful people who have gone before them.</p>
<p>They observe the others successfully navigating the<br />
trail, and earning a decent income, but reason that<br />
there must be a faster, less meticulous way.</p>
<p>Those people try shortcut-after-shortcut, sometimes<br />
getting scrapes and bruises for YEARS, before they<br />
stand up&#8230; safely back on the trail, and like me,<br />
sheepishly decide that maybe that&#8217;s the better way.</p>
<p>If you are interested in internet marketing, here<br />
is that well-marked, and time-tested trail:<br />
<a href="http://goo.gl/M2rBW">http://goo.gl/M2rBW</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s called The <a href="http://goo.gl/M2rBW">Niche Affiliate Marketing System</a> (NAMS<br />
– for those of us who are smart enough to be teachable).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll see there, and even chat with you as we travel<br />
the path together <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently did an interview with one of my students where I<br />
discussed how you demonstrate to potential clients that you are<br />
actually worth six and seven-figure commissions.</p>
<p>This is a frequent topic of discussion as I interview potential<br />
clients to decide whether or not I will accept them, and<br />
orchestrate their product launchs.  </p>
<p>In fact, I had a 30-minute discussion this morning with a client<br />
where I made it very clear that I would require a six-figure<br />
commission from him, which he happily agreed to&#8230; because he knew<br />
that it would be worth it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How To Get Others To Promote You NOW</strong><br />
By Jimmy D. Brown of How To Get Free Traffic</p>
<p>See if you can spot the similarity.</p>
<p>What do the following three statements have in common?</p>
<p>1. I can’t do it right now, but maybe later.<br />
2. I’ve already got my mailings scheduled.<br />
3. Let me get back to you.</p>
<p>Got the similarity spotted?</p>
<p>These are all typical responses that most people get when asking<br />
partners and affiliates to promote their offers.</p>
<p>Chances are you’ve gotten answers much like these, right?</p>
<p>Don’t despair &#8230; there are ways around the barriers of<br />
reluctance and passiveness. </p>
<p>Let me share some simple ideas for getting affiliates to take<br />
action on your promotions quickly. I use the acronym “N.O.W.” to<br />
describe three ways to get others to promote you now&#8230;</p>
<p>N &#8211; News </p>
<p>In journalism, no one wants to be “scooped” when it comes to<br />
newsworthy items. Sharing some big story that another network or<br />
publication broke days ago is a big “no-no”. You always want to<br />
be first when it comes to getting the word out.</p>
<p>That same philosophy applies to what I’ve labeled “The Principle<br />
of First”. The idea is simple: being “first to market” aids in<br />
responses. Those who let their contacts know about your news<br />
promptly will generate the greatest results. If they wait,<br />
someone else will break the news.</p>
<p>So, to apply this principle, <strong>you simply need to create some<br />
newsworthy buzz that your affiliates and partners can’t pass up<br />
on sharing with their network of influence.</strong></p>
<p>**CASE STUDY**</p>
<p>Several months ago I decided that I was going to remove the<br />
archives from one of my membership sites. This announcement<br />
served as a strong motivator to get my affiliates to promote my<br />
site promptly before someone else did. The result was almost 500<br />
new members paying monthly fees!</p>
<p><strong>If you make dramatic changes to your offer, or create some other<br />
kind of “story” or “news” that warrants discussion promptly,<br />
you’ll find you can get many fence-setters active in promoting<br />
you.</strong></p>
<p>O &#8211; Occasions </p>
<p>Another great way to motivate affiliates to get active is to <strong>use<br />
“occasions” that have a real deadline involved.</strong></p>
<p>Some examples include –</p>
<p>* Product launches<br />
* Firesales<br />
* Live events (teleseminars, workshops, etc.)<br />
* Contests<br />
* Special offers<br />
* Limited quantities</p>
<p>This is what might be referred to as “The Principle Of Force”.<br />
That is, you MUST promote the offer now or miss out simply<br />
because the offer will no longer be valid. You “force”<br />
participation.</p>
<p>For example: If you have a 3-day “firesale” set for a specific<br />
date, then anyone interested in earning commissions for referring<br />
customers to the “firesale” would be “forced” to promote it<br />
during your pre-determined timeframe or they’d miss out because<br />
the event will end.</p>
<p>My recommendation is that you schedule some kind of “occasion”<br />
every quarter. That should give you four significant spikes in<br />
your revenue each year, which can be a tremendous boost to your<br />
bottom line.</p>
<p>W – Wants</p>
<p><strong>What do your partners and affiliates want? Seriously, stop and<br />
think about that for a moment. In fact, go one step further than<br />
that and ASK them a simple question&#8230;“What would it take for you<br />
to promote this offer this week?”</strong></p>
<p>Make it happen. </p>
<p>I want you to remember the intangibles here: the sales of your<br />
initial offer aren’t really all that important. (Don’t freak out,<br />
hear what I have to say <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  It’s building a lead list, an<br />
affiliate list and a customer list along with ADDITIONAL offers<br />
over time that makes the real money.</p>
<p>Consider this –</p>
<p>Option A: </p>
<p>Miss Ima Guru ignores your request to promote your offer as it<br />
currently stands.</p>
<p>Option B:</p>
<p>Miss Ima Guru accepts your modified offer which includes giving<br />
her 100% of the revenue she generates. You make nothing off her<br />
promotion&#8230;but in the process of her promotion she adds 500 new<br />
subscribers to your list, 75 new affiliates and 60 new customers.</p>
<p>Which would you rather have?</p>
<p><strong>Whatever it takes to get people to promote your offer now, make<br />
it happen.</strong></p>
<p>*** NOTE ***</p>
<p>Now, let me make a simple suggestion here: The deal you make<br />
should be directly proportional to the potential results the<br />
partner represents.</p>
<p>Some affiliates and partners bring more to the table and should<br />
be offered more in order to get them to participate.</p>
<p>That being said, <strong>you can get virtually any affiliate to promote<br />
you now if you make it worth their while. So, ask them, “what<br />
will it take?”</strong></p>
<p>This is what I call “The Principle Of Fear”. That is, a feeling<br />
of “This is such a compelling offer, I can’t afford to miss out<br />
on this deal.”</p>
<p>All of this adds up to more involvement and participation among<br />
your affiliates and partners&#8230;</p>
<p>N – News +<br />
O – Occasions +<br />
W – Wants =<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
Other people promoting you NOW!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the review that Mike Lantz or WarriorPlus wrote<br />
up as a summary (with my own tracking link) :</p>
<p>RE: WSO of the Day for January 10, 2012</p>
<p>&#8220;Are you Kidding me&#8230; This is actually a gift for us all on the<br />
forum.. Yes, easily worth thousands&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>NAME:<br />
100k in January 2012</p>
<p>CREATOR:<br />
Willie Crawford</p>
<p>PURPOSE:<br />
Watch Willie earn 100k this month, and he will show you EXACTLY<br />
what he does, how he does it, why he does it&#8230; everything!</p>
<p>GUARANTEE:<br />
30 days, unconditional</p>
<p>MY TAKE:<br />
Willie Crawford is truly a legend among Warriors.</p>
<p>When he talks, I listen (I&#8217;m actually going to be hanging out<br />
with him for a week later this month)&#8230; and so should you.</p>
<p>If you want to know what is working RIGHT NOW, then you can&#8217;t<br />
ask for anything better then watching a 7+ figure earner do their<br />
thing.  Willie is showing EVERYTHING, in near real-time, THIS<br />
MONTH.</p>
<p>This is an INCREDIBLE opportunity, and it probably won&#8217;t come<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good Morning and Merry Christmas!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not quite Christmas here in northwestern<br />
Florida, but the festivities have definitely<br />
started at my house <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll end today with a midnight mass, and then<br />
tomorrow will spend time at my youngest daughter&#8217;s<br />
house, and at a party hosted by a friend of many,<br />
many years.</p>
<p>It will be a day of relaxing and catching up with<br />
dozens of old friends who, like me, focus mostly<br />
on the relationships&#8230; and very little on the<br />
presents. </p>
<p>Actually, their friendship is one of the greatest<br />
gifts  in my life!  So is the true friendship of the<br />
many people that I&#8217;ve met via the internet over the<br />
past 16 years.<br />
&#8212;-</p>
<p>I wanted to end this note by inviting you to meet<br />
a young lady named Roxie, who started an internet<br />
marketing business less than a year ago.</p>
<p>She was a complete beginner, completely unknown,<br />
with no real idea of what she even wanted to sell.</p>
<p>Since Roxie had spent a little time on Facebook,<br />
she reasoned that this was the best place to try<br />
her hand at building a business.</p>
<p>Fast-forward just a few months and Roxie is now<br />
making  over $6000 per month just by largely&#8230; being<br />
social on Facebook. </p>
<p>She has built some real connections on Facebook,<br />
has built a list using Facebook, and makes lots<br />
of sales as a result.</p>
<p>On <strong>Tuesday, December 27th at 7pm Eastern</strong>, Roxie<br />
has offered to TEACH you what she is doing on<br />
Facebook, on a free webinar.   </p>
<p>She&#8217;s already showed me what she is doing, and it&#8217;s<br />
something that ANYONE can do. You need absolutely<br />
no technical skill, you just need to be social in<br />
the right way.</p>
<p>Please join Roxie and I on Tuesday evening, by<br />
registering here:<br />
<a href="https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/266953958">https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/266953958</a></p>
<p>This free training is next Tuesday, December 27th,<br />
for 7-8pm Eastern.  It will be a nice break from<br />
all of the holiday eating <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I do expect the webinar line to fill up since it is some<br />
much-needed training, and it&#8217;s taught by someone<br />
who hasn&#8217;t been doing it so long that they&#8217;ve forgotten<br />
what it feels like to be just starting out.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll see you there <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Willie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How To Get Filthy Rich As An Online Entrepreneur<br />
Copyright 2011 by Willie Crawford</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fairly common knowledge these days that your<br />
personal income will tend to be the average income<br />
of your five closest friends.  That&#8217;s to an extent<br />
because we tend to think and act like those that we<br />
hang around.</p>
<p>Consequently, my closet friends as all &#8220;filthy rich!&#8221;</p>
<p>You see, I have no problem admitting that I desire<br />
tremendous wealth, because my very wealthy friends<br />
have taught me that that&#8217;s how you do tremendous good<br />
in the world.  They taught me that you go out and<br />
earn wealth first, and then you dedicate a lot of<br />
your time and wealth to things that you consider<br />
worthy causes.</p>
<p>They taught me that good intentions don&#8217;t feed the<br />
hungry, clean the environment, cure major diseases,<br />
or fund any charitable causes.  Developing and<br />
using good business skills to generate tremendous<br />
wealth that you can use to fund work in those areas<br />
does!</p>
<p>They taught me that you don&#8217;t wait to start helping,<br />
but that you can help a lot faster if you focus on<br />
wealthy creation first!</p>
<p>Now that we have that out of the way, how do you<br />
actually become filthy rich.  I&#8217;ve already shared<br />
one way&#8230; you associate with others who are already<br />
doing extremely well, and you learn from them.</p>
<p>Before you make the excuse that there is NO WAY<br />
that they will allow you into their inner circles, let<br />
me point out that they let ME (a farm kid from North<br />
Carolina who spent all of his youth on welfare, before<br />
spending 20 years in the military) into their inner<br />
circles.</p>
<p>They did it for one simple reason&#8230; I showed them<br />
that I had something to offer them, AND I showed them<br />
that I genuinely had their best interests at heart.</p>
<p>As a result, they grabbed me by the hand, taught me,<br />
and made me &#8220;one of them!&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, I share many of the things that my wealth mentors<br />
taught me in a free mini-course that anyone can<br />
access at:  <a href="http://timic.org/Rich/">http://timic.org/Rich/</a></p>
<p>What are some of the secrets though&#8230; secrets that are<br />
really non-secrets?</p>
<p>1) The wealthy don&#8217;t work for their money, they make<br />
their money work for them.  They make investments in<br />
things that average people ignore for some reason. So,<br />
while most Americans get 1-2% returns on their savings,<br />
my friends get 24% or more, and with NO RISK!</p>
<p>2) The wealthy don&#8217;t trade time for money, they create<br />
assets that generate interest and residual income&#8230;<br />
they create capital assets.  Online marketers who<br />
create products and set up membership sites, are sort<br />
of headed in the right direction&#8230; but they usually<br />
don&#8217;t fully &#8220;get it.&#8221;</p>
<p>3) The wealthy use other people&#8217;s time.  Instead of<br />
doing the work themselves, they hire others who can<br />
often do the work better, for a fraction of what it<br />
would cost them to do it.</p>
<p>Some online marketers outsource, which is headed in the<br />
right direction, but they also need to learn to better<br />
delegate. That also includes delegating the management<br />
of the outsourced workers.</p>
<p>4) The wealthy use leverage offered through tools such<br />
as software.  An example is the piece of software that<br />
I use to save me hundreds of hours while identifying<br />
what keywords I should focus on&#8230;. and what niches<br />
are profitable. That&#8217;s this piece of software:<br />
<a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/SerpAlert/">http://WillieCrawford.com/SerpAlert/</a></p>
<p>5) The wealthy leverage other people&#8217;s assets.  As a<br />
JV broker, I and my clients focus less on list-building<br />
than on locating and courting those who have already<br />
built lists.   </p>
<p>We focus on finding centers of influence who already<br />
have the trust and attention of our ideal customers,<br />
and we get them to recommend our quality services and<br />
products to their audiences. </p>
<p>6)  The wealthy  actually make more by practicing<br />
social entrepreneurialism.  Properly embracing worthwhile<br />
causes can actually provide millions of jobs, provide<br />
lots of resources more cost-efficiently to consumers,<br />
and actually serve the less-fortunate&#8230; actually putting<br />
their needs and best-interests first.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s one of the seldom-recognized secrets of the &#8220;filthy<br />
rich.&#8221;  They actually approach business by looking for<br />
major, real problems that they can solve. Many of them do<br />
more &#8220;good&#8221; than many governments.</p>
<p>7) Those achieving lasting real wealth do it by delivering<br />
tremendous value to others.  They strive to improve the<br />
lives of others.  They don&#8217;t sell people garbage because<br />
they GET the saying &#8220;when I harm you, I also harm me!</p>
<p> <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> The wealthy value time ahead of practically any other<br />
asset. It&#8217;s the one thing that we all have an equal amount<br />
of, yet properly managed, some of us can get ten times<br />
as much done in the same amount of time.</p>
<p>Since the wealthy better manage their time, they often<br />
seem to have more of it for doing the things that they<br />
really want to do.  </p>
<p>That “thing” is very often spending more time with family<br />
in friends.  Contrary to a popular belief that I had before<br />
making lots of wealthy friends, they usually have a LOT<br />
of quality time with their kids.  My friends simply make<br />
it a priority!</p>
<p>YOU simply have to make being in charge of how your </p>
<p>time is spent a priority.  If you don&#8217;t, then you&#8217;ll soon<br />
notice others taking control of your time, and &#8220;spending<br />
your life.&#8221;</p>
<p>Proper time management is actually one of those things<br />
that, once mastered, offers the greatest leverage in<br />
growing your wealth.</p>
<p>An example is that I often set aside time to actually<br />
intensely focus on getting projects done.  I set aside<br />
time to mastermind, in a controlled environment, with<br />
some very high-powered thinkers, and in a matter of<br />
days we often get more DONE, and move more projects<br />
forward, than the average person does in MONTHS.</p>
<p>I do 2-day mastermind meetings several times a year where<br />
we all FOCUS on each others businesses, going as far as<br />
giving others in the group permission to hold us<br />
accountable, and we build massively successful businesses.</p>
<p>I could share more &#8220;secrets&#8221; with you, but if you just<br />
embrace what I&#8217;ve already shared with you, you&#8217;ll be<br />
ahead of 95% of the population.</p>
<p>If you want more, grab my free mini-course at:<br />
<a href="http://timic.org/Rich/">http://timic.org/Rich/</a></p>
<p>Or, you can continue doing things as you are currently<br />
doing them, and life will probably not force any changes<br />
upon you <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Namaste,<br />
