			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you missed it, back on January 2nd, I started<br />
a challenge (to myself) where <a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/">I announced on the Warrior<br />
Forum that I was going to earn $100,000 in the next 30<br />
days</a>, and that I was going to do it doing things that<br />
ANY internet marketer could do.</p>
<p>I then set up a &#8220;<a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/">Warrior Special Offer</a>&#8221; where I offered<br />
to allow anyone to &#8220;watch over my shoulders as I did<br />
it!&#8221;</p>
<p>Since I started on January 2nd, I actually decided to<br />
run this WSO through February 2nd, so it&#8217;s not totally<br />
over with yet, <strong>BUT it is already a success.</strong></p>
<p>Each day, I sent out an email update to those who<br />
purchased the WSO, telling them things that I had done,<br />
why I had done those things, and what the results were.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m telling you all this because<strong> it&#8217;s not too late for<br />
you to benefit</strong> from what I shared.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the last day to get in on the WSO at the<br />
crazy, give-away price.  <strong>Tomorrow, February 2nd, at<br />
Midnight Central Standard Time, I will CLOSE the WSO</strong>.</p>
<p>Then, I&#8217;m going to take my notes from the 30 days, and<br />
create audios to go with each day&#8217;s notes. I&#8217;m also<br />
going to create videos to teach some things, although<br />
video won&#8217;t be needed for each day, and there&#8217;s no<br />
point in having you waste time watching videos of things<br />
that can be explained in a few words.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also going to add some supplemental notes expanding on<br />
some points since I deliberately kept me email updates<br />
short. I wanted emails that would get through the filters,<br />
but even there, some of the emails were easily 10 &#8211; 15<br />
pages.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to post all of this inside a members-only<br />
site, and then I&#8217;m going to re-open the doors to access<br />
to this information for 30 days.</p>
<p>During those 30 days, new members will be able to join,<br />
but the price will have jumped to $197.  It will definitely<br />
be worth $197, since I&#8217;ve shared things that you don&#8217;t get<br />
in many $1997 courses.</p>
<p>During my 30 days, as I shared with my friends and<br />
followers what I was doing, largely on social media, dozens<br />
of them showed what true friends they were by &#8220;coming out<br />
of the woodwork&#8221; and pointing me to all kinds of free or<br />
very inexpensive resources that I knew nothing (or very<br />
little) about. </p>
<p>They all seemed to really, really want me to do well with<br />
my &#8220;exercise&#8221; so they did what any of us should expect<br />
our friends to do, they gave me tons of tips that they<br />
don&#8217;t normally share with their customers.</p>
<p>I pointed out to a few of them that they weren&#8217;t really<br />
being fair to their customers in not telling the<br />
customers the WHOLE truth.  They were selling them info<br />
products that were suppose to teach them how to make a<br />
living over the internet, but they left out the &#8220;finer<br />
details&#8221; that in my opinion made all of the difference.</p>
<p>So, I informed them that I was going to share what they<br />
had taught me with members in my new site when I<br />
rolled things out at $197.  They didn&#8217;t seem too<br />
enthusiastic about this, but knew that they couldn&#8217;t<br />
stop me.</p>
<p>Many of them have a scarcity mindset and fear that if too<br />
many people know how they REALLY operate, that this will<br />
dilute it.  Where it&#8217;s something underhanded, it probably<br />
will, but where it&#8217;s something totally ethical and legal,<br />
I don&#8217;t think that it will adversely impact them in the<br />
short-term.</p>
<p>In the long-term, everything changes anyway, so I see no<br />
reason not to share with you ALL of the facts that you<br />
need to make fully-informed decision while building your<br />
business.</p>
<p><strong>*** So Here&#8217;s The Deal  ***</strong></p>
<p>If you grab my WSO today, you can still have LIFETIME<br />
access to not only my 30 day diary, but all of the<br />
audios, videos, and supplemental materials that I&#8217;m<br />
putting inside the membership area.   On top of that,<br />
I&#8217;m setting up a discussion forum where I will continue<br />
sharing what I&#8217;m doing as this continues to unfold, BUT<br />
I&#8217;ll also encourage members to share with each other.</p>
<p>You see, many things that I&#8217;ve set in motion, won&#8217;t see<br />
the full results for another week or two&#8230; some even<br />
longer, since I prefer doing things that pay off for a<br />
LONG time. I want to share those results with you too,<br />
so I&#8217;m not going to stop sharing with my members after<br />
30 days, I&#8217;m going to continue posting regular updates<br />
for at least another 60 days, and then I&#8217;ll make periodic<br />
updates.</p>
<p>Even though I charged a very low price for the WSO<br />
and initially anticipated offering an upsell to a monthly<br />
membership site after it was all over&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;VE CHANGED MY MIND and will now give even those who<br />
got the WSO for almost nothing LIFETIME ACCESS&#8230; with<br />
NO ADDITIONAL charge.</strong></p>
<p>There is a catch though, in that the WSO price ends<br />
on February 2nd, and the $197 price will only be<br />
available for 30 day from when I first offer it. After<br />
those 30 day at $197, I&#8217;ll close the membership, because<br />
I want to focus on actually helping members.  </p>
<p>If, after that, we ever (as a group) decide to open the<br />
membership back up, it will be at a $497 one-time<br />
price-point, and I&#8217;ll offer existing members a 50%<br />
commission for inviting their friends to join us.</p>
<p>It will be a group decision at that point, because a<br />
LOT of the content shared on the discussion forum will<br />
be from members.</p>
<p>If we do offer the $497 membership, it will be after<br />
the membership site has so much juicy HARD facts and<br />
shared experience that it will be easily worth $10k!</p>
<p>What caused me to offer this WSO in the first place<br />
was the fact that I saw so much BAD information being<br />
sold.  </p>
<p>Dozens of people were putting up new WSO&#8217;s each day<br />
offering largely INCOMPLETE information, or worse,<br />
products that were just theory.  </p>
<p><strong>Without the full picture, it&#8217;s IMPOSSIBLE for the<br />
average internet marketer to be successful.</strong> I&#8217;ve been<br />
online, watching people start new businesses for over<br />
15 years, and the evidence, and the 98% long-term<br />
FAILURE rate prove that to me.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s level the playing field for you!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get you in on this WSO before it closes at<br />
midnight tomorrow night.  </p>
<p>Go signup now:<br />
<a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/">http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/</a></p>
<p>Yes, the WSO is now for LIFETIME access, but the price<br />
is about to go WAY up.</p>
<p>2012 has already turned into the best year ever for<br />
several of my students&#8230; and for me.  It&#8217;s your turn<br />
too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like many people, I spent much of my life in abject poverty.<br />
I never worried about my next meal because we lived on a farm,<br />
and grew much of our own food. However, we often went without<br />
things such as home heating oil, medical treatment, and more<br />
than one pair of dress shoes, so I can relate to being poor.</p>
<p>Getting good grades, I was nudged towards college, where by<br />
some miracle, I thrived, and then went into the military.<br />
A 20-year military career was followed by starting my own<br />
internet-based business, where I was fairly successful.</p>
<p>Yet, throughout all of those years, I don&#8217;t think that I can<br />
honestly say that I was every really &#8220;happy,&#8221; felt comfortable<br />
around most people, or felt like I was doing something really<br />
meaningful.</p>
<p>I always felt &#8220;agitated&#8221; and unsure that I was doing what I<br />
was meant to be doing.  </p>
<p>It felt like I had missed that day at school when the<br />
instructions for fitting in, and being supremely happy were<br />
passed out.</p>
<p>Sure, I learned over the years from many great teacher, and I<br />
practically memorized dozens of great books by deep thinkers.</p>
<p>I had been taught that the real secret to success was getting<br />
out of your own way and letting it happen. Most of us, when on<br />
the cusp of major success, do something to sabotage it&#8230; for<br />
some strange reason.</p>
<p>I had been taught that you attract good things into your life,<br />
by properly aligning with the flow&#8230; whatever that was suppose<br />
to mean. </p>
<p>After 52 trips around the sun, I had sort of given in to the<br />
idea that I wasn&#8217;t meant to have those things like real happiness,<br />
deep meaningful success, life without money worries, or doing<br />
something that gave me any real satisfaction.</p>
<p>Then one day, I tuned in to <a href="http://timic.org/Why/">a free webinar offered by Brian<br />
Ridgway</a>.  Brian&#8217;s webinar was on &#8220;Getting Unstuck&#8221; in all areas<br />
of you life.  I had to admit that I felt STUCK&#8230; like a stranded<br />
cosmic traveler, not sure of the who, what, where, when, how,<br />
or why of it all.</p>
<p>Up until that point, I was really just along for the ride.</p>
<p>On that webinar, Brian stepped everyone through a very simple<br />
exercise where I instantly saw how I fit in with all of &#8220;those<br />
other people.&#8221;  You know&#8230; the ones we have to share this planet<br />
with, and interact with regularly.</p>
<p>The very next day, I found myself not only feeling different<br />
and smiling more, I notice those around me acting different and<br />
smiling &#8220;at me&#8221; more.</p>
<p>What had changed?</p>
<p>Why did I suddenly actually feel TOTALLY happy, like I was<br />
a genuine success, and that I was making a difference?</p>
<p>I felt that way because of a change in my THINKING brought<br />
about right on that free webinar!</p>
<p>Now, if you are anything like I was, I invite you to tune in<br />
to Brian&#8217;s next free webinar that I&#8217;ve coordinated for you<br />
here:  <a href="http://timic.org/Why/">http://timic.org/Why/</a></p>
<p>Happiness&#8230; even bliss&#8230; is as close as a tiny shift in your<br />
thinking that can happen right on this free webinar.</p>
<p>Check it out, you&#8217;ll be &#8220;happy&#8221; that you did.</p>
<p>Willie Crawford<br />
A happy, successful person<br />
living a life that feels very purposeful!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I posted a Warrior Special Offer on January 2, 2012, where<br />
I offered to allow customers to watch as I earned $100k,<br />
during the month of January 2012, doing things that I<br />
asserted anyone could do. I offered to send daily email<br />
updates explaining what I did, why I did it, and what the<br />
results were. </p>
<p>20 days into the endeavor (partly in response to questions<br />
and comments on the Warrior Forum), I shared Lesson 20 on<br />
the forum itself. </p>
<p>I also gave affiliates, who  are helping to spread the word<br />
about the WSO, permission to share that sample lesson in<br />
their marketing.</p>
<p>I chose this lesson BECAUSE it allows me to give you a<br />
peek inside the training, without giving it all away.</p>
<p>At the same time, it does provide some valuable<br />
insights that I hope you find useful. </p>
<p>To tune in to the entire course, you need to register<br />
here:  <a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/">http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/</a></p>
<p><strong>Here is the actual text from Lesson #20:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Diary &#8211; $100k In January 2012 &#8211; January 22nd, 2012</p>
<p>Welcome to Day 20&#8230; the day that I arrived home and got to<br />
play with my impatient new grandchild for the first time<br />
(she was born six weeks early)  <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This issue is heavily-influenced by feedback that I&#8217;m<br />
getting from you guys&#8230; especially your wanting to<br />
see more RESULTS! </p>
<p>Up to this point, most of my efforts have been laying the<br />
groundwork for those results&#8230; for reasons that I&#8217;ll explain<br />
today!</p>
<p>On the airplane on the way home, I actually flowed<br />
out 23 articles in notepad on my iPhone.  My wife<br />
would occasionally glance over at my phone, notice the<br />
smile on my face, and ask what I was doing.</p>
<p>After being home for about two hours, and playing<br />
with the baby most of that time,  I felt the time<br />
pressures, and started turning those notes into articles. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the first one that I published:</p>
<p>Begin Article:</p>
<p>Pretend Internet Marketing Experts, Dreamers, And Doers<br />
Copyright 2012 by Willie Crawford</p>
<p>In internet marketing (the niche that I know best)<br />
as well as many other online niches, it&#8217;s often<br />
difficult to tell who the genuine experts are. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s important because it makes it difficult to know<br />
who to take advice from.</p>
<p>The danger is that you will spend months, or even years,<br />
following the advice of someone who either sells you<br />
his theory, or who just makes up something that sounds<br />
plausible, and doesn&#8217;t even care if it&#8217;s accurate&#8230; as<br />
long as it sells.</p>
<p>Yes, there ARE people who will sell you anything and<br />
don&#8217;t care if it works, but I very strongly believe<br />
that they are a tiny minority.</p>
<p>There are also those who believe that you will not<br />
buy their products unless they &#8220;fake it until you<br />
make it.&#8221;  Many of these people may actually have<br />
really good intentions, but since they believe that<br />
they have to pretend to be something that they are<br />
not, they can be a real threat to your success.</p>
<p>The fake it till you make it types often blur the<br />
lines as to what they are actually qualified to teach<br />
you.  Their perceived dilemma is that they feel that<br />
they HAVE TO fake it.  </p>
<p>Several years ago, in an interview, I asked my friend<br />
and mentor, Rich Schefren, how one overcomes this.<br />
Rich explained that it&#8217;s as simple as being your authentic<br />
self.  Identify what you ARE qualified to teach, identify<br />
the audience that does want to learn that, and sell to<br />
them.  </p>
<p>Rich&#8217;s advice really boiled down to merely acknowledging<br />
that your potential audience members are at all different<br />
levels along the learning curve, and you just need to focus<br />
on the ones who need the level of guidance that you are<br />
genuinely qualified to deliver.</p>
<p>The next pretend expert that you need to be aware of<br />
is &#8220;the dreamer&#8221; who understand on a certain level but<br />
have never DONE anything and therefore isn&#8217;t 100%<br />
certain that what they offer to teach you WORKS. They&#8217;ve<br />
STUDIED  a lot, but they haven&#8217;t physically verified<br />
what they believe to be true.</p>
<p>These are you armchair quarterbacks, your armchair<br />
copywriters, and your armchair marketing experts.  </p>
<p>I honestly think that many of the armchair experts<br />
are most dangerous to themselves. I&#8217;ve encountered<br />
dozens of them over the years who had studied the same<br />
materials that I had, and knew it well enough that they<br />
frequently quoted the same people that I did&#8230; and<br />
often even finished my sentences when I tried explaining<br />
something to them.</p>
<p>I say that they were a danger to themselves, because<br />
they never moved beyond the knowing stage into the<br />
implementation stage, so they could never earn a living<br />
even though they understood how!  I honestly believe that<br />
they were afraid to actually do something, or they were<br />
dabbling in too many different things to take any one<br />
thing through to completion.</p>
<p>Either way, these are the experts who, based upon being<br />
old-timers who have put in the time learning, should be<br />
very successful. Yet, they are STUCK at just knowing and<br />
won&#8217;t acknowledge that they MUST move beyond that.</p>
<p>Then you have the newbie who listens, learns and applies.<br />
Some of them move up the ladder very rapidly, and are at<br />
the top of the &#8220;expert ladder&#8221; in 1/10th of the time that<br />
others take, and they ARE genuine experts.</p>
<p>Two quick examples of these &#8220;doers&#8221; are Russell Brunson<br />
and Ryan Deiss.  </p>
<p>I remember when Russell was a college student, wrestling,<br />
and then starting to raise a family.  He was on the<br />
Warrior Forum, aggressively learning, testing, and DOING.<br />
Not that much later, I could see that Russell had hit<br />
six-figures, and then seven-figures.</p>
<p>I first notice Ryan Deiss in December 2002, when he was<br />
an attendee at the very first seminar that ever attended<br />
(and spoke at).  I don&#8217;t believe that he was even 20 years<br />
old yet, and he sat there taking and organizing copious<br />
notes.  He asked deep, relevant questions.  </p>
<p>Ryan has now probably surpassed most of my fellow<br />
speakers who graced the stage during that era.  Ryan now<br />
has other very successful guru&#8217;s working for his<br />
companies <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m compelled to warn my readers to be aware of the pretend<br />
experts and dreamers, but I&#8217;m equally as compelled to point<br />
out what sets the doers apart!</p>
<p>The &#8220;snakes in the grass&#8221; will always exist, and part of the<br />
reason that they will even thrive is because of customer<br />
greed.  Greed causes people to make very poor choices.</p>
<p>FEAR also causes people to make poor decisions, and I<br />
believe that is what keeps more people who have the<br />
knowledge from becoming doers!</p>
<p>To become one of the successful doers, you have to actually,<br />
REALLY believe that it is possible. Then you have to<br />
believe that it is possible for you.</p>
<p>For me personally, I grew to believe that it was possible,<br />
after spending a lot of time hanging around with, and even<br />
masterminding with, others who actually walked-the-walk.</p>
<p>I grew to believe that it was possible for me after<br />
observing that many of the ULTRA successful people that I<br />
hung around were really quite ordinary in most respects.<br />
I would  even dare say that some were of below average<br />
intelligence&#8230; and I even know that they would say this<br />
about themselves.</p>
<p>The differences are:</p>
<p>1) You have to give yourself permission to actually become<br />
successful.</p>
<p>2) You need to work on your mindset, because &#8220;going big&#8221; is<br />
largely mental. Once you have the correct mindset, then it<br />
JUST HAPPENS.</p>
<p>I know this to be true because that has been my experience.<br />
I grew up on government subsistence (welfare) surrounded by<br />
poverty and no real mega-successful role models.  I did have<br />
several  teachers who lovingly challenged and inspired me.</p>
<p>I had my big breakthrough after hanging around the ultra<br />
successful, and being bathed in their mindset. </p>
<p>They also taught me that the rich and ultra-successful were<br />
not necessarily “evil” <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>That “flow” started me and many of my friends along a path<br />
that made success destined to happen. It also programmed us<br />
to always be successful even if we occasionally suffer<br />
setbacks&#8230; because we now understand the path and have that<br />
essential mindset.</p>
<p>The final ingredient for me was being actually mentored by<br />
an individual who showed me how I was really the ONLY<br />
person who could hold me back, and then how to get out of my<br />
way and allow unimagined success to flow into my life.  </p>
<p>That mentor&#8217;s name is Brian Ridgway, and he branded his<br />
mentoring Level 5 Mentoring.  It&#8217;s so-named because it<br />
shows you how most people operate at one of four lesser,<br />
flawed paradigms, and how by simply examining our world,<br />
you clearly see the mistakes that 99.9% of people are making<br />
that severely limit what they allow themselves to accomplish.</p>
<p>Brian, very generously, offers a free webinar where he shifts<br />
many people&#8217;s thinking right on the webinar. Yes, on a free<br />
webinar, you learn how to get out of your own way, step up<br />
your game and no longer need to be a pretend expert, or a<br />
dreamer.</p>
<p>When you see how easy it is to actually become a doer by<br />
merely getting out of your own way, and allowing it to<br />
happen, you&#8217;ll smile from ear to ear.  So, will those that look<br />
to you for guidance.</p>
<p>You can tune into Brian&#8217;s free mentoring at:<br />
<a href="http://timic.org/Why/">http://timic.org/Why/</a></p>
<p>Another shift that Brian&#8217;s free mentoring causes in many<br />
people is that it causes them to see how harmful the first<br />
two pretend experts are to themselves. Those first two<br />
personality types CONDEMN the individual to failure, the<br />
third  personality type makes success happen relatively<br />
effortlessly.</p>
<p>Now that you know, what are you going to do about it?</p>

<p>=====================================================</p>
<p>End Article:</p>
<p>Notice that that article is fairly emotionally charged. It&#8217;s<br />
very difficult for a person to read the article and not feel<br />
motivated to take some action, even if it&#8217;s to fire off an<br />
email to me telling me that they disagree.</p>
<p>I could sense shortly after publishing the article that it<br />
did indeed &#8220;piss off&#8221; many readers.  It had that effect<br />
because it no longer allowed them to blame others for the<br />
results that they&#8217;ve gotten in life thus far.  Most of the<br />
world tells you that it&#8217;s not your fault because they know<br />
that&#8217;s what you want to hear.  I was deliberately using a<br />
little &#8220;tough love!&#8221;</p>
<p>People respond to this type of article, they comment on it,<br />
and they share it with others, so this is the type of article<br />
that I will be publishing a LOT of over the next 10 days or<br />
so.</p>
<p>That article is engineered to generate an emotional<br />
under-current that people HAVE to respond to!</p>
<p>I published that article to a tiny list of about 7000 general<br />
internet marketers whom I also felt would &#8220;get&#8221; that &#8220;mindset&#8221;<br />
is a major part of the game. It&#8217;s what allows you to actually<br />
follow-through with doing the other things that you need to<br />
do in order to have extra-ordinary success.</p>
<p>Developing that mindset and following through DOES often<br />
mean doing things that you are slightly uncomfortable with.<br />
I shared with you earlier that even I have to do that. I<br />
also shared with you my zip lining experience, where I<br />
actually FORCED myself to REPEATELY step off the edge of cliffs,<br />
attached to tiny cables that I didn&#8217;t really have that<br />
much faith in.  My point was NOT that I was on an exotic<br />
Caribbean cruise, but that I purposely FORCED myself to do<br />
something that I didn&#8217;t really want to do, but knew that it<br />
would force me to grow in the direction that I wanted to<br />
move.</p>
<p>In case you missed it, the tactic that I used to keep me<br />
from backing out was to publicly state on my Facebook profile<br />
(and to my wife) that I was going to do something that I<br />
feared. I turned them all into powerful accountability<br />
partners&#8230; and it worked!</p>
<p>That article is designed to make people really examine their<br />
online marketing (somewhat bridging the gap between internet<br />
marketing and personal development).</p>
<p>I AM at a tremendous disadvantage in the Personal Development<br />
Niche, and since I&#8217;m not known there, needed to create a logical<br />
bridge that people might be willing to step across.</p>
<p>When I&#8217;m reading an article, the first question that I<br />
personally ask myself is &#8220;What makes this person qualified<br />
to write this article?&#8221;  I want to know &#8220;What makes them an<br />
expert!&#8221;  If we fail to answer that question in our own<br />
articles, we lose the reader and your article will be largely<br />
a waste of time.</p>
<p>My over-arching goal is&#8230; hopefully to get lots of people<br />
re-posting the article, and it&#8217;s primary purpose is of course<br />
to get people to check out the Level 5 Mentoring program&#8230; where<br />
I&#8217;ll earn a commission when people actually benefit from the<br />
free webinar, and because they do benefit, they want the paid<br />
product  that goes deeper.</p>
<p>Since the article covers an emotionally charged topic, and I<br />
used the title as my email subject line, I do expect a very<br />
high number of readers.</p>
<p>I will also submit that article to EzineArticles.com and to<br />
IdeaMarketers.com, and will also bookmark it using the tools<br />
that I mentioned to you yesterday.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll share it in the other places already mentioned.</p>
<p>I can see this ONE article generating thousands of visitors<br />
WHEN it goes viral, or gets a lot of  commentary from the<br />
right people.</p>
<p>I would also like to explain at this point WHY I<br />
chose personal development or self-help as a niche<br />
to focus on.</p>
<p>First of all, I&#8217;m not known AT ALL in the personal<br />
development niche, so I feel that this is a great<br />
test of my methods. I AM starting at the SAME point<br />
that a newbie would be starting at&#8230; one of getting<br />
people who don&#8217;t know me as an expert in that space,<br />
to listen to me.</p>
<p>Given that people buy from people that they know,<br />
like and trust, that means that I have to figure<br />
out how to get potential customers in that niche to<br />
know, like, and trust me.   </p>
<p>Anyone in this situation has two choices&#8230; you<br />
can either develop the know-like-and-trust factor,<br />
or you can borrow it.</p>
<p>I chose to do both!</p>
<p>First, I chose to develop it by pushing out a TON<br />
of content that rapidly proves my actual expertise<br />
in this area. Given that I am a newbie in the niche,<br />
that proof has to show that I not only understand<br />
the theory, but that I actually LIVE the principles.</p>
<p>PROVING that I understand and have actually harnessed<br />
the principles is why my writing focuses so much on<br />
my lifestyle.  That proves that I live what I&#8217;m<br />
teaching day-to-day and as a result, I gain the<br />
benefit&#8230; implying if you copy my application of the<br />
principles exactly, then you&#8217;ll get the same results.</p>
<p>My readers need to see that I get above-average results<br />
from my applying certain principles.  I need to<br />
unequivocally PROVE that.  </p>
<p>Given that most authors, in most niches online, generate<br />
little more than a lot of theory, IF I show practical<br />
examples of the application of what I cover, then I can<br />
quickly go from an unknown in the niche to a<br />
much-respected authority <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>That&#8217;s what you need to do too.</p>
<p>YOU, as a subscriber, even have to see my doing that or<br />
you quickly tune out, and don&#8217;t stick around long enough<br />
to see how massively effective what I&#8217;m doing really<br />
can be.</p>
<p>The second way to get that know-like-and-trust factor,<br />
is to borrow it.  That&#8217;s where solo ads come in. In placing<br />
solo ads, I&#8217;m approaching list owners who already have that<br />
relationship with their list and asking them for a direct or<br />
indirect endorsement.  </p>
<p>I also shared with you in an earlier lesson that I&#8217;m<br />
actually reaching out to a few friends and asking them<br />
to share my content-rich Facebook posts and events with<br />
their followers. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m merely sending them private messages, asking them to<br />
please share a post or Event.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m only asking them to do that with content that I feel<br />
that their &#8220;Friends&#8221; will enjoy or appreciate.</p>
<p>I submit that we ALL have a few close friends that we<br />
can ask a favor of, but also admit that asking favors<br />
of even close friends can feel uncomfortable. </p>
<p>If you want extra-ordinary results you DO have to force<br />
yourself to do things that people willing to live with<br />
ordinary results simply won&#8217;t do.  I can do that because<br />
I honesty feel that my content is changing lives.</p>
<p>So, I am borrowing credibility.  You need to do the<br />
same thing!</p>
<p>You do have friends. They ARE willing to give you a<br />
break especially IF they expect you at some point in<br />
the future to reciprocate.</p>
<p>How well is this working for me?</p>
<p>In the Self-Help Giveaway that I&#8217;m using as a case-study,<br />
I&#8217;ve moved from not even being in the top 20 (based on<br />
over-all referrals), to where I expect to be in the top 5<br />
VERY soon,  and then to fight my way into the top three,<br />
where I WILL  earn a free solo mailing in my new niche&#8230;<br />
with the #1 position offering that solo mailing to 250,000.</p>
<p>You may feel that you DON&#8217;T need a &#8220;pep talk&#8221; but I hope<br />
that you do see that it&#8217;s worth the monumental effort, and<br />
that after you make that initial monumental effort, that<br />
the rest can simply fall in place.</p>
<p>I entered a new niche, made a monumental effort doing<br />
things that I feel slightly uncomfortable with, and after<br />
30 days, I should actually have made over $100k, largely<br />
from soft-selling a product in my new niche, and from<br />
leveraging the credentials of others who are long<br />
established in that space.</p>
<p>I am going up against GIANTS in that space, and because<br />
I am willing to do more, I will prevail, but I will be<br />
doing things that you CAN do too.</p>
<p>My focus the rest of the journey is on buying solo ads<br />
(buying endorsements), but even there, I&#8217;m largely<br />
spending money earned from other efforts that I shared<br />
with you in previous lessons.</p>
<p>I have arranged 32 solo ads that will start running as<br />
early as today. For each of those ads, I am using a<br />
unique tracking url, so that I know where my results<br />
came from, and I will share that with you (unless I<br />
was specifically prohibited by the ad seller for some<br />
strange reason).</p>
<p>In the last lesson, I showed you how to set-up for this<br />
solo ad barrage with as little as $25&#8230; but that&#8230; starting<br />
with that little meant that it would take a few days longer.</p>
<p>Now, thanks to your patience as I laid the framework,<br />
you&#8217;ll get to watch it all unfold, and even be able to<br />
use my EXACT solo ad sources if you choose to, and if you<br />
act fast.  Of course, over 1200 others will be reading<br />
these same notes, so if you are not fast, you may be in<br />
for a bit of a wait.</p>
<p>Moving forward, I&#8217;m going to make the lessons less<br />
verbose, since hopefully by this time, you&#8217;ve gotten<br />
the mindset part.</p>
<p>I will add that this IS all an inexact science. There is<br />
a lot of testing and tracking involved, and even the top<br />
marketing experts have to admit that the outcomes are not<br />
always exact.</p>
<p>In fact, in a recent discussion, a friend shared with me<br />
a conversation that he had with a guy who has often<br />
billed himself as &#8220;the godfather of internet marketing.&#8221;<br />
He shared that this guy taught him that email marketing<br />
is hit and miss. It&#8217;s a matter of market-to-message-to-<br />
medium match.  </p>
<p>Even at &#8220;the very top&#8221; this guy sends out mailing some<br />
days that produce a mere trickle of orders, and other<br />
days he hits on just the right combination, and hundreds<br />
of orders flood in.</p>
<p>He tries to be scientific about it but has discovered that<br />
if he keeps making little tweaks, and keeps mailing, that<br />
in the long run, he has a lot of home-runs but even more<br />
singles <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In that market-to-message match, I believe that the most<br />
critical ingredient is the words that you use to connect<br />
with your audience one-to-one, and that no one has an<br />
advantage over you in that arena, because it&#8217;s an actual<br />
bond/connection &#8220;felt&#8221; between two individuals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, I went &#8220;zip lining&#8221; in Costa Rica for the<br />
first time. That&#8217;s where you climb up to a platform<br />
perched on a hilltop in the rainforest (wearing a<br />
parachute harness and helmet),  hook a pulley attached<br />
to your harness to a cable the thickness of a power-line,<br />
and step off the platform.</p>
<p>When you step on the platform, you anticipate zipping<br />
across a valley, looking down on rainforests and rivers,<br />
and coming to rest on the next platform over, where<br />
you unhook, hook up to the next cable, and do it again.</p>
<p>I spent about 30 minutes yesterday, zipping between<br />
nine of these towers, doing something that I was<br />
actually VERY afraid of doing.</p>
<p>You see, even thought I spent a 20-year career in the<br />
U.S. Air Force, flying C-130 aircraft, I don&#8217;t really<br />
care for heights, and am definitely NOT a thrill-seeker.</p>
<p>My mentors, some of them worth hundreds of millions of<br />
dollars, and one worth billions, taught me that the key<br />
to achieving more was stepping outside your comfort zone.<br />
Allowing yourself to be a little uncomfortable FORCES<br />
you to grow!</p>
<p>I was also trained back in college, where I earned<br />
money during summer breaks, by selling books door-to-door<br />
that &#8220;successful people do things that unsuccessful people<br />
don&#8217;t like to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>The reality is that many of those things are also things<br />
that even successful people don&#8217;t like to do. For example,<br />
successful door-to-door salesmen had to train themselves<br />
to relish getting past the inevitable &#8220;nos&#8221; to get to<br />
the &#8220;yeses.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, I became convinced that unless I was willing to<br />
stretch &#8220;a little&#8221; and do some things that ordinary<br />
people back down from&#8230; I could never achieve all of<br />
the things that I really want in life.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t either!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re only willing to do things that average people are<br />
willing to do, then you can only get the results that<br />
average (ordinary) people get.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I choose to be EXTRA-ordinary!</p>
<p>On my journey from tree-top platform, to tree-top platform,<br />
I was actually joined by one of my friends and mentors&#8230;<br />
Brian Ridgway.  </p>
<p>Brian is one of the people that taught me how to give<br />
myself permission to do ANYTHING.   </p>
<p>I tuned into this free webinar that Brian offers:<br />
<a href="http://timic.org/Why/">http://timic.org/Why/  </a></p>
<p>&#8230; and my life has never been the same.  I&#8217;m healthier,<br />
happier, wealthier, have better family relationships,<br />
like other people around me better, and gave myself<br />
permission to live life without limits.</p>
<p>I refuse to be the timid soul afraid to set lofty,<br />
worthwhile goals, and then go out and accomplish them.</p>
<p>An example, is that I set an 8-figure goal for myself<br />
this year.   I set a 7-figure goal for myself in February<br />
2012. My January 2012 goal is a tiny bit lower, but only<br />
because I knew that I&#8217;d be on an 8-day cruise where I<br />
wouldn&#8217;t be able to work on things that I needed to get<br />
done much of the time.</p>
<p>Even then, I challenged myself to PROVE to those who<br />
follow what I&#8217;m doing that a six-figure annual income<br />
is not only a reasonable goal, but that a six-figure<br />
MONTH was even achievable.</p>
<p>I further challenged myself to do that by using assets<br />
and tactics that ANYONE who has internet access can use!</p>
<p>That was the harder part of accepting the challenge.</p>
<p>Making the decision to accept that challenge, was no<br />
more difficult than looking  out  across a valley, and<br />
realizing that if you choose to cross it strapped to a<br />
thin cable, you are suspended hundreds of feet above<br />
the ground at times&#8230;. and then simply choosing to<br />
step off the platform.</p>
<p>As I approached the second platform, and stepped onto<br />
 something solid, then hooked up to the next cable,<br />
making the decision to step off again felt somewhat<br />
easier, and by the time I had done it five or six<br />
times, it because &#8220;almost easy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Accepting the challenge to generate $100,000 in the<br />
month of January 2012, while letting you watch over<br />
my shoulders is actually just an easy  a decision.</p>
<p>And so, I invite you to watch what I&#8217;m doing, and if<br />
you are serious about unshackling from self-imposed<br />
limitations, I invite you to copy what I&#8217;m doing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to copy everything that I&#8217;m doing, but<br />
even if you copy a portion of what I&#8217;m doing, and<br />
openly sharing with you, your life will be transformed.</p>
<p>Tune in to that journey here:<br />
<a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/">http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/</a></p>
<p>You really can have the life of your dream, but you<br />
have to be willing to take action.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m on my second Caribbean Cruise in only two months,<br />
because after tuning in to Brian&#8217;s webinar, I decided<br />
that I actually wanted to shake a few self-limiting<br />
beliefs and behaviors.</p>
<p>As you can see from my doing one of the things that<br />
I feared most, yesterday, I shook off another limitation<br />
that was totally within my control.</p>
<p>Many internet marketers talk about &#8220;the internet<br />
life-style&#8221; and being able to work from anywhere in the<br />
world.  I want to let you see that that is not just<br />
hype by actually doing it, and letting you watch&#8230; but<br />
also showing you exactly HOW I&#8217;m doing it&#8230; and inviting<br />
you to copy me.</p>
<p>If you are willing to step a tiny bit outside of your<br />
comfort zone (many people are comfortable being miserable)<br />
I invite you to join me on this amazing journey.</p>
<p>Start by tuning in to my earning $100k in a month here:<br />
<a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/">http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/</a></p>
<p>If you want to experience the free webinar that first<br />
shifted my thinking, and showed me how I really was<br />
the ONLY thing holding me back, you can do that here:<br />
<a href="http://timic.org/Why/">http://timic.org/Why/</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll share my photos and videos from the cruise on<br />
my blog and Facebook later <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our youngest daughter just had our third grandchild&#8230;<br />
a beautiful little girl who elected to be born six<br />
weeks early, so she had to stay at the hospital for<br />
a couple of day.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://williecrawford.com/Eve-4Days-small.jpg" title="4 Day Old Millionaire - Willie Crawford&#039;s 3rd Grandchild" class="alignnone" width="450" height="600" /></p>
<p>By the time that she is 21 years old, hopefully she<br />
will be about ready to graduate college, but she<br />
really won&#8217;t have to ever worry about money. </p>
<p>You see, as soon as she was born, I did something<br />
that will allow me to simply hand her over $1<br />
million as a 21st birthday present.</p>
<p>How can I do this.   I can do it because I know<br />
a secret that the ultra-rich taught me, and that<br />
I share in a free mini-course that I give away<br />
here:  <a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/SecretsOfTheRich/">http://WillieCrawford.com/SecretsOfTheRich/</a></p>
<p>That site actually has over 700 free products that<br />
you can have but I want to specifically focus your<br />
attention on my gift <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Those who struggle the least, and that many would<br />
argue, &#8220;need it the least&#8221; seem to get the biggest<br />
breaks!</p>
<p>When I last looked, banks were paying 1-2% interest<br />
on savings accounts.  Those same banks are taking your<br />
money and earning as much as 24%.</p>
<p>This is something you can simply ask your banker<br />
about&#8230; but they won&#8217;t tell you about it if you<br />
don&#8217;t. Neither will your stockbroker!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at that for a minute&#8230; </p>
<p>If you somehow managed to accumulate a nest-egg of<br />
just $10,000 and you stuck it aside for 20 years,<br />
and then decided that you wanted to retire&#8230; assuming<br />
you never added anything more to that $10k, how much<br />
would it be worth?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s  use the formula:</p>
<p>Future Value = Present Value x<br />
(1 + interest rate) raise to the 20th power</p>
<p>The 20th power is because that&#8217;s our number of<br />
compounding periods).</p>
<p>If you stuck the $10k into a savings account, and<br />
managed to earn say 3% per year, you&#8217;d have:</p>
<p>$ 17,938.47<br />
Using the online calculator at:<br />
<a href="http://timic.org/FutureValue/">http://timic.org/FutureValue/</a></p>
<p>If you stuck that same $10k in the safe, government<br />
guaranteed investment that I&#8217;m about to show you, at<br />
24% interest, you&#8217;d have:</p>
<p>$ 1,239,307.01</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a difference of $1,221,368.54</p>
<p>&#8230; all things being equal.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that amazing.</p>
<p>The thing is that wealthier people have been<br />
getting these kinds of returns forever!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the secret?  </p>
<p>That&#8217;s just one of the things that I share with you<br />
in my free mini-course that you can access right now<br />
at:    <a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/SecretsOfTheRich/">http://WillieCrawford.com/SecretsOfTheRich/</a></p>
<p>I titled that course &#8220;How To Be Rich &#8211; Secrets Of The<br />
Billionaires&#8221; and that is quite literally what I share<br />
with you!</p>
<p>My new granddaughter benefits from readily available<br />
knowledge that you probably never heard about because<br />
it&#8217;s simply something the rich don&#8217;t seem to discuss<br />
openly.  I&#8217;m sharing that knowledge with you now!</p>
<p>My grandchidren will all be fairly well off, don&#8217;t you<br />
want the same for your?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year has already been one of continuously unfolding<br />
miracles.  The latest one is my new granddaughter Eve.</p>
<p>This morning, my son-in-law dropped Nancy and myself<br />
off at the airport at 4:30am for a 5:30 flight to<br />
Ft. Lauderdale, where we embark on the Marketers Cruise<br />
tomorrow.  </p>
<p>As we were sitting in the waiting area, getting ready<br />
to board our plane, our youngest daughter, the one whose<br />
husband had dropped us off, called my wife to share that<br />
she was having contractions fairly close together.</p>
<p>She was expecting her second child in about 3 weeks.</p>
<p>We boarded the plane and my wife anxiously called back,<br />
to discover the our daughter was now at the hospital.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to 4 hours from when we took off from the<br />
airport, we are finally in Ft. Lauderdale, where the<br />
cruise ship will depart from tomorrow, and my daughter<br />
has called to say that we have a new granddaughter.</p>
<p>By the time that we get checked into our hotel, she has<br />
already posted photos on Facebook&#8230; some of which I<br />
snagged, and posted here:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://WillieCrawford.com/NewGrandBaby2.jpg" title="New GrandDaughter" class="alignnone" width="500" height="655" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://WillieCrawford.com/NewestGrandchild.jpg" title="You Go Girl :-)" class="alignnone" width="500" height="655" /></p>
<p>This child was born into a world VERY different from the one<br />
that I was born into almost 53 years ago.  Technology and<br />
information are multiplying so fast that I can&#8217;t really<br />
imagine what life will be like when she is a young adult.</p>
<p>I still marvel at what my new iPhone 4S can do <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>One thing that my granddaughter won&#8217;t really have to<br />
worry about is money.   Provided I don&#8217;t UN-inherit her,<br />
she is already set to be a millionaire by the time<br />
she is 21.  I did one simple thing late last year for her<br />
&#8220;older&#8221; brother (18 months old), and I&#8217;ll do something<br />
similar for her, and when they turn 21, I can literally<br />
hand each of them over $1 million.</p>
<p>I actually share what I did in a free mini-course that you<br />
can get here:  <a href="http://selfimprovementgifts6.com/go/128">http://selfimprovementgifts6.com/go/128</a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s a site where I, and over 700 of my friends, offer<br />
free gifts (audios, videos, ebooks, etc.).  All of these<br />
gifts relate to personal development or ways to make your<br />
life more satisfying.   </p>
<p>One of the things that I chipped in was my mini-course<br />
sharing some of the secrets that some VERY wealthy<br />
people have taught me over the past few years.  </p>
<p>I actually named the mini-course &#8220;How To Be Rich &#8211; Secrets<br />
Of The Billionaires.&#8221;  It shares some things that most<br />
&#8220;average person&#8221; will never be exposed to, including how<br />
I&#8217;ve set aside a few dollars today, and how without ever<br />
adding another penny, that will grown into over $1<br />
million for each of my grandchildren.</p>
<p>Go to this site, and my mini-course is listed on the third<br />
page of gifts.  <a href="http://selfimprovementgifts6.com/go/128">http://selfimprovementgifts6.com/go/128  </a></p>
<p>Without ever doing anything, my granddaughter is<br />
already set for a life where money never has to be an<br />
issue&#8230; because of knowledge people freely shared with<br />
me (because I was teachable), and that I&#8217;ll now freely<br />
share with you.</p>
<p>&#8212;-</p>
<p>If you have been following my activity at The Internet<br />
Marketing Warriors Forum lately, I&#8217;m actually in the<br />
process of teaching as many of the 419,644 registered<br />
members there&#8230; as will allow me to, the secret to<br />
actually FINALLY making some decent money online. </p>
<p>What I&#8217;m doing is keeping a journal of everything that<br />
I do for 30 days, starting January 2nd, 2012, as I earn<br />
$100,000.   I&#8217;m explaining what I do, why I do it, what<br />
I am thinking, and what my results are.</p>
<p>Every day, I send out an email sharing what what I did<br />
over roughly the past 24 hours.  I&#8217;ve also archived all<br />
of the updates inside a password protected membership area.</p>
<p>That allows those who tuned in to my experiment after<br />
January 3rd when m fist update went out, to not miss<br />
anything.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not a step-by-step checklist where I want you to do<br />
everything that I do in lock-step fashion.  It is a diary<br />
or what I did, why, and what the results were. </p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t checked that out, you should. What I&#8217;ve<br />
shared thus far has gotten a ton of very positive<br />
feedback&#8230; some of it from people that are already<br />
very successful themselves.</p>
<p>If you watch over my shoulders as I generate $100,000<br />
in a single month, you HAVE TO learn lots of things<br />
that you can easily apply to your online business.</p>
<p>Check that out here:<br />
<a href="http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/">http://WillieCrawford.com/100kInJanuary2012/</a></p>
<p>Ok, I need to get back to hanging out with others at<br />
the hotel here. Many showed up a day or more early to<br />
start networking pre-cruise.  I&#8217;ve already seen my friends,<br />
Frank and Caryl Sousa, Ross Goldberg, Warren Whitlock,<br />
Erik Stafford, Ty Cohen and probably 2 dozen others,<br />
and that was just as I tried to make my way to my<br />
room to drop off my stuff.</p>
<p>&#8220;My fellow cruisers&#8221; are now in for eight days of me<br />
showing them pictures of my new grandchild&#8230; just like<br />
so many other grandparents do <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Namaste,<br />
Willie</p>

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 />

what he does, how he does it, why he does it&#8230; everything!</p>

with him for a week later this month)&#8230; and so should you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Million Dollar Sales Letter That Wrote Itself As I CREATED  A Million Dollar Month!</strong><br />
Copyright 2012 by Willie Crawford, &#8220;The $300 Million JV Broker&#8221;</p>
<p>In mid-December 2011, I &#8220;decided&#8221; that I was going to<br />
make 2012 my best, most-profitable year ever. By<br />
December 31st, I had solidified that &#8220;decision&#8221; a little<br />
more and decided that January would be used to set in<br />
motion a year that was a minimum of &#8220;8-figures!&#8221;</p>
<p>In making that decision, I decided to use two bodies of<br />
knowledge. One was what I had learned from Dan Kennedy<br />
of a concept he called &#8220;The Phenomenon.&#8221; Dan pointed out<br />
that many businesses go through a growth spurt somewhere in<br />
their business life-cycle where they experience more growth<br />
in a 12-month period than they did in the preceding entire<br />
12 YEARS. Dan also teaches that you can trigger that<br />
phenomenon at will.</p>
<p>After studying Dan&#8217;s teachings at length, I decided to<br />
implement EXACTLY what he teaches.</p>
<p>The second body of knowledge, was the teachings of my<br />
good friend, Brian Ridgway, in something he calls &#8220;Level 5<br />
Training.&#8221;   Brian teaches that, as energetic beings, we<br />
have within us the capability to align ourselves in any<br />
way that we choose with other &#8220;things&#8221; in this universe<br />
of energy. Those things can include wealth, health, and<br />
happiness.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Money&#8221; is nothing more than a form of that energy&#8230;<br />
nothing more than a concept really. </p>
<p>After tuning in several times to a free webinar that Brian<br />
offered, and then deciding to go deeper into his teachings by<br />
going through a 9-week series of weekly webinars, I fully<br />
understood how to do something that people had been trying<br />
to teach me all of my life.  I understood how to simply get<br />
out of my own way and allow abundant success, health,<br />
wealth, rich relationships, and happiness to flow into my life.</p>
<p>While out for a walk early the morning of January 2nd,<br />
2012, an idea was born &#8211; one that had probably been<br />
incubating for a while.  </p>
<p>I had tuned in to the discussion on a very popular online<br />
forum, the Internet Marketing Warriors&#8221; a lot lately, and<br />
noticed that the prevailing belief seemed to be that not<br />
only were most of them not making very much money, but<br />
most of them didn&#8217;t really believe that it was possible.</p>
<p>On the morning of January 2nd, fully unleashing Brian&#8217;s<br />
training, I decided to show my fellow Warriors just how<br />
simple it is to earn more money than most of them honestly<br />
believed was possible.   I went back to my desk and<br />
wrote a &#8220;Warrior Special Offer&#8221; where I told them that<br />
in the month of January 2012, I would generate a minimum<br />
of $100,000 and that I would record everything that I did<br />
AS I did it, and send them daily email updates allowing<br />
them to sort of &#8220;watch over my shoulder.&#8221;</p>
<p>I elected to do this on the Warrior Forum because I have<br />
been an active member of that forum for over a dozen years.<br />
I have over 10,000 posts there, where I have freely shared<br />
my thoughts with a vibrant community that I feel a strong<br />
connection to.</p>
<p>I did charge $27 for the privilege of getting these daily<br />
updates.  I charged for this because experience has taught<br />
me that people really don&#8217;t appreciate things that you give<br />
them for free, but paying even a small price means that since<br />
they have some &#8220;skin in the game&#8221; they pay closer attention.</p>
<p>I posted this offer, and people immediately started taking<br />
me up on it, so I had to get busy writing those emails as<br />
I went about my routine of creating sales, BUT I promised to<br />
share with my fellow Warriors things that any of them can<br />
do. </p>
<p>You see, I acknowledge that with over 15 years of internet<br />
marketing experience, I am definitely NOT your average<br />
internet marketer.  So, in order to make the exercise<br />
meaningful for those following along, I had to consciously<br />
focus on doing things that any of them could do.</p>
<p>By January 5th, I realized that I had made a big mistake<br />
in that I had not invited my fellow Warriors, and even members<br />
of my Facebook community, to become affiliates and to earn<br />
money by helping to focus attention on my Warrior Special<br />
Offer.  So I went back and tied my WSO into an affiliate<br />
management system called WarriorPlus.</p>
<p>What WarriorPlus does is allow people to not only become<br />
affiliates for my product, but to earn instant commissions<br />
paid directly to their Paypal accounts.  I considered the<br />
instant payment feature important because I knew that many<br />
of my potential affiliates, just like the larger general<br />
population, were feeling the pinch of the economic recession.<br />
Given a choice, they would rather have any money they can<br />
earn paid INSTANTLY, rather than having to wait weeks or<br />
even a month or more.</p>
<p>So, I set up my affiliate program, and announced in several<br />
places that it was open and paid an instant 50% commission or<br />
$13.50 per sale.  Without too much effort, I quickly<br />
recruited 30 or so affiliates including some who instantly<br />
started generating sales. </p>
<p>As word spread, sales started increasing and I realized that<br />
the WSO itself could very easily generate $100,000 in sales,<br />
but that was NOT the $100,000 I would emphasize in my<br />
30 days of updates.</p>
<p>By January 8th, I had gotten so much positive feedback, that<br />
I realized that I was CREATING a million dollar launch right<br />
in front of everyone&#8217;s eyes, and that all aspects of the<br />
launch were creating themselves in synch!</p>
<p>I instantly noticed for example that since I had already<br />
announced that I was going to sell the product that I was<br />
creating over the course of approximately 30 days, for a<br />
price of $197, when it was finished, that conditions began<br />
to instantly align to make that not only easy to do, but to<br />
also turn that very launch into a million dollar launch.</p>
<p>I do plan on supplementing the email notes that I write<br />
during the 30-day period with audios, videos, PDF&#8217;s,<br />
and other supporting materials.  So this course showing<br />
how I generated the &#8220;magical&#8221; six figures that so many<br />
people aspire to&#8230; in a single month, will certainly be worth<br />
$197.</p>
<p>Doing some quick calculations, I realized that at $197 per<br />
copy, I only need to sell 5,077 copies to generate<br />
$1 million. Rolling it out as an affiliate product, means<br />
that I&#8217;ll end up paying 50% on many orders to other.</p>
<p>However, I would expect to make maybe 10% of those sales<br />
myself. So if I pay 50% commission on the other 4569 sales,<br />
I would end up with only $550,063. That would be 100% on<br />
the 508 copies that I sold at $197, plus 50% on the 4569<br />
copies that others sold&#8230; with some rounding in there<br />
to make the math simpler.</p>
<p>That $550,063 is before expenses and taxes, so don&#8217;t feel<br />
envious yet <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In looking at a launch, and the associated expenses, one of<br />
the biggest ones that the launch&#8217;s success depends upon is<br />
strong sales copy that is filled with irrefutable,<br />
third-party proof.  People are naturally skeptical of what<br />
I say about my own product, but if members of their own<br />
community tell them how good it is, then the battle is<br />
95% won.</p>
<p>By January 8th, I was getting so many positive comments<br />
on the training, that could easily be incorporated into the<br />
sales letter (many easily supplemented with video<br />
testimonials), that the sales letter HAS essentially<br />
written itself.</p>
<p>A &#8220;million dollar sales letter&#8221; has literally written<br />
itself when I simply stepped out of my own way and allowed<br />
it to happen.</p>
<p>Most online product launches fail to be massively successful,<br />
or even moderately successful, because they fail to get<br />
enough affiliates interested, and so they never gain enough<br />
launch momentum.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where a good joint venture broker can help, and I&#8217;ve<br />
trained and certified a dozen of them that I can recommend<br />
to you <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Since I will eventually have literally thousands of people<br />
who have already gone through my training, I won&#8217;t have<br />
that problem BECAUSE they will all know the high quality<br />
of my materials intimately, so when offered the opportunity<br />
to promote the $197 product at 50% commission, I expect<br />
more than enough people to needed to create a million-dollar<br />
launch  to step forward and say yes,</p>
<p>So, what you are witnessing right before your eyes is a<br />
self-fulfilling prophesy.  I do have to deliver on the<br />
promise to show them how I&#8217;m generating $100,000 doing<br />
things that they can easily do, but as you can tell from reading<br />
through the comments at: <a href="http://timic.org/MillionDollars/">http://timic.org/MillionDollars/</a><br />
MOST current subscribers who have shared an opinion, actually<br />
feel that I&#8217;m already over-delivering.</p>
<p>For those who &#8220;get it,&#8221; I am not only generating over<br />
$100,000 in profits during a month when I&#8217;ll spend eight<br />
day out “goofing off” on a Caribbean cruise, but I&#8217;ll set up<br />
for my first of many million-dollar months. </p>
<p>Actually, what I have already set in motion is the beginning<br />
of numerous million dollar months, and many<br />
multi-million-dollar months.  </p>
<p>When you watch it unfold from my vantage point, you&#8217;ll see<br />
that this whole internet marketing thing in not really a<br />
bunch of hype and BS. Yes, that is rampant in our niche, but<br />
that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m documenting what I do <img src='http://williecrawford.com/blog2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Going back to how I started to set this whole thing in<br />
motion&#8230; I met Brian Ridgway on the Marketers Cruise in<br />
January 2011, and we connected on a spiritual level. I could<br />
sense that we viewed many aspect of the world in the same<br />
way. So when Brian approached me with his idea to share his<br />
teachings with millions, and eventually hundreds of millions,<br />
I actually dropped much of what I was doing to focus on<br />
helping Brian to launch Level 5 Mentoring.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to a year after I first met Brian in-person,<br />
and we will be on another Caribbean cruise in January<br />
2012. So will at least a dozen other people who have<br />
gone through Brian&#8217;s training.</p>
<p>Since I am crediting Brian&#8217;s training with helping me<br />
understand how to get out of my own way, and essentially<br />
how to totally master the Law of Attraction, I would like to<br />
highly recommend that you watch the free introductory<br />
webinars that Brian offers. </p>
<p>You can register for the next one at <a href="http://timic.org/Why/">http://timic.org/Why/</a></p>
<p>Brian holds absolutely nothing back on these webinars,<br />
and in fact you will witness people making life-changing<br />
breakthroughs right on the free webinars.</p>
<p>Now, as you continue to watch a million dollar launch<br />
unfold, right before your eyes, and as you watch an amazing<br />
year (in many lives that this will touch) unfold you will<br />
understand, as Paul Harvey says &#8220;the rest of the story!&#8221;</p>
