This post is here to help you get on track.
Are you still “trying” to make money online? Are you making any?
Just dribs & drabs? A little here, a little there?
Not enough to provide you with a good, comfortable, long-term
income? Not a steady income that provides you and your family
with financial security? Not enough to enjoy the fabled “Internet
marketer lifestyle”?
Well, the blame for this lack of progress falls squarely on two
people.
1. The slick dream sellers who have sold you one magic bullet
after another. You know … those tricks, secrets, loopholes that
“will let you siphon a shipload of cash off the Internet”. The
problem is: Those magic bullets soon lose their luster and you’re
left chasing after another shiney object.
2. Yourself. Yes, if you’ve not committed to an action plan to
build a true business online … if all you’ve done is chase one
promising quick buck after another … if you’ve been hopping from
one idea to another … you have to place the blame on yourself.
You’ve been sabotaging your own success.
But … It’s Not Too Late To Get On Track
All you need is a good, solid action plan. A plan you can stick
to. A plan that will have you building a solid online foundation
and creating a business that supplies you and your family with a
stable, dependable income for the rest of your like.
Well … on Monday, May 21 you can get that action plan. Join
Kevin Riley and me in his lifechanging Perpetual Income webinar
at 8:00 pm EDT.
Kevin is going to give you the same strategic action plan that
his many students have followed to online success over the past
years. At least one prior student has used Kevin’s action plan to
build a $1million/year business on the Internet.
This action plan will get you on track. Register for your free

and started building something that will supply you with a good
living?

Whether you’re a beginning or advanced affiliate marketer,
choosing the right affiliate programs to promote determines how
hard you work and how long you get paid.
There are a few secret ingredients to look for when choosing
that program. David Perdew, the founder of the Niche Affiliate
Marketing System workshop and the support membership site at
MyNAMS.com is changing the way affiliate programs work.
Discover the 4 key elements you must look for when choosing an
affiliate program.
And if you are a product owner, you’ll want to pay attention
too, because if you’re not building an affiliate program that
complies with these attributes, affiliates will snub your offer
and look for those that do.
Join us as he reveals these elements and the tools you need to
make money for the long-haul!

My subject line above is a question that many online
coaches and mentors get routinely.
We are all masters at creating websites where the
words are so enticing that they leave the person
who still struggles “just to make ends meet,”
salivating.
It is true… after 16 years as an internet marketer,
joint venture broker, author, platform speaker,
product creator, and someone who has gone through
“the school of hard knocks,” I have figured out a
way to earn an above average living.
I do now live a dream life-style, sometimes taking
exotic cruises back-to-back months, and vacationing
in exotic lands. I do make more most months than
the average person does in a year!
I have a confession to make though…
If you visit my Facebook profile, you’ll see that I
share literally thousands of pictures from my life.
I share pictures of me doing all of those things that
most people feel that they can’t do.
My Facebook profile is at:
http://Facebook.com/WillieCrawford1/
The secret is that when I do share my world, I’m
selling. I’m selling you on the dream that if you do
what I do, or buy my training, then you can have that
lifestyle too.
All of my “guru” friends do the same thing, though they
may not admit it. We might show you a life-style of
just surfing all day, and hanging out with Hollywood
celebrities. You watch that, see that we actually DO
live that way, and secretly ask why can’t you do the
same.
You reason that you are an honest, hardworking person,
who also realizes that you do have to put in a little
effort… but you’ve already put in a LOT of effort,
and it just hasn’t happened for you.
The reality is that practically all of us who have
“made it” had mentors, and did a lot of studying, and
put in a lot of long hours. I personally put in many
16-18 hour days when I was just getting started. When,
I get really excited about a project that I’m working
on today, I can still find myself working 18 hours to
get that project finished… even when I outsource many
of the routine tasks.
So those who have figured it out, show you proof that
we have… somehow… actually figured it out, and we
offer to teach you what we have discovered.
IF you do what we did, and conditions are the same,
then you should get the same results.
There is no arguing with that.
The problem is that by the time we’ve put in all of
those long hard hours, we figure out that our time
and expertise really is very valuable. Many of us
earn more than PhD’s, MD’s, lawyers, and even many
politicians and third-rate celebrities 
What we’ve struggled to learn IS that valuable, or the
market wouldn’t pay those prices for it.
Which brings us back to the problem faced by the person
willing to put in the work but who can’t afford it.
Take the case of my Joint Venture Broker Certification
Training. I earn much of my income by helping people
who have product launches to recruit affiliates and
help them have massively successful launches. I do
more than just recruit affiliates, I help my clients
to flow out and manage their entire launches, so that
they will be successful.
The reason that I do all of the thing necessary to
make my clients’ launches successful is that my pay is
contingent upon the success of the launches. I get paid
10% of the gross revenue from all of the sales made
by all of the affiliates that I recruit, plus a
negotiated upfront fee (which is really a consulting
fee).
So, the more successful the launch is, the more I
make. I treat each launch as if it were my OWN
product, and probably put as much time and energy
into the launch as the product owner does. So, I
EARN that 10%.
If I help my client to make an extra $500k in sales,
then my commission is $50k. If I help my client to
make an extra $3 million in sales, then my
commission is $300k.
Here’s my angle… After 16 years in the trenches as
an “internet marketer” and 8 years as a joint venture
broker, I actually AM one of the best. I spent all
that time honing my skills in order to make that so,
and I still study and improve my craft EVERY day.
So when people google terms such as “joint venture
broker” I dominate the search engine results! That’s
because I put in the time and effort to actually
develop the expertise.
I now accept a few apprentices each year, and put them
through a full year of mentoring. I have them first
go through 60 hours of recorded training. Then I
hand them a pre-screened product launch (one that
I am convinced has tremendous potential), and I work
with them side-by-side as they get hands-on training
in brokering the launch.
WE do this over and over again for a full YEAR.
At the end of that year, I will have transferred all
of my PRACTICAL knowledge to my proteges, and
they will be true experts who can easily command the
same fees that I do.
Since I do value my time very highly, and would
actually rather spend it on some exotic beach,
watching my grandchildren play in the surf, I do
charge $10,000 for that training. That’s $10,000
upfront or $997 per month for 12 months.
After looking at the actual time involved in this
training, I realized that I should have priced it
MUCH higher, and so I will increase the price on
my personal mentoring as a joint venture broker to
at least $25,000 next January. In fact, I’ll do that
while I’m on the annual Marketers Cruise, where I’ll
also conduct a small, private meeting with many of
the proteges that I have already trained.
My training will include two annual private
masterminds (one on the Marketers Cruise and one at
a beach-side gathering near my house each June).
These private masterminds are where the experts in
our profession discuss common challenges, and share
ideas. They are absolutely priceless, and are a
part of my “continuing education” that keep my
students learning but also keep me learning.
Anyway, most people will look at my training, see
the tremendous potential, and feel that they can’t
afford it. People who want to do many things feel
the same way.
The young man (or woman) who is really good at
fixing cars, sees that if they could get the right tools,
a little more training, and a physical shop, then they
could easily earn six or seven figure per year. Yet they
see no way to make that happen, so they give up on
that dream forever.
Most people who take a deep look at my training,
do the same thing. They see it as impractical…
some even feel that it’s impossible.
That happens everyday with probably hundreds of
thousands of people who look at training programs
online. They get their hopes up, look at the
tuition, and go back to living a life that they
hate… and feel trapped in!
I asked myself WHY I couldn’t allow a student
to go completely through my training, and then
pay me out of their earnings. If I’m really as good
as I say that I am, and I properly screen students,
then I should be able to teach them to do what I do,
and they should be able to easily pay me out of their
earnings!
Well, that is a nice theory, but the reality is that
most people, unless they do “have some skin in the
game” simply won’t follow through. They will let me
pour all of my time and energy into training them,
researching possible joint ventures for them to
broker, and in mid-stream, when it seem a little
tougher than it first sounded, change their minds.
I try to screen out people who would do that, but am
not 100% successful, since I don’t put them through a
full personality and psychiatric testing battery.
Anyway, against my better judgment, I have decided
to accept a maximum of 10 (TEN) new apprentices
where I shoulder 90% of the risk.
If you are willing to invest just the first $997
payment, that will put you on the monthly payment
plan where you’ll have to pay $997 per month for
12 months.
HOWEVER, your next $997 payment won’t be due until
you earn many times that much from actually doing
what I will teach you to do.
You will have to pay that first $997 because you
do need to have some skin in the game. It’s the
only way that I can reduce the probability of your
wasting my time and energy.
We will step you through the recorded training,
identify a first project for you to actually flow
out and make successful, and then we will do that
launch together. You will do the work, but we’ll be
in constant contact via phone, Skype, face-to-face
meetings at live events, etc.
You will make the remaining tuition payments out
of your actual earnings.
In fact I do two things differently than someone
who just wants your money, and really hopes that
you hand it over and go away…
1) I require an interview so that I know that we
are a match for each other. We can start that
interview with you sending an email to me at:
willie.crawford@gmail.com with the subject:
“Interested In Being A JV Broker.”
If you don’t use that subject line, you’ve already
indicated that you can’t follow simple instructions,
and probably disqualified yourself.
2) I send you an invoice for your tuition each
month. Most programs that you enroll in will sign
you up for some type of automated payment plan,
and then they hope and PRAY that you don’t notice
that payment each month and cancel.
I want that payment, and the commitment that you
have made to me and to YOURSELF, to be at the
forefront of your mind. I don’t want to try to sneak
it by you, I want you to remember that today was
the day that you decided that you would actually
change your life.
By the way, you are the only one who can do that.
I can guide you if you allow me to, but otherwise,
no one can help you. So, you have to take an
honest look at your life and ask if you are really
ready to make a change, or if you prefer living
with excuses.
This note is getting long. If it’s meant for you,
then send that email to me at:
willie.crawford@gmail.com using the subject line:
“Interested In Being A JV Broker” and we’ll see if
we are meant to work together.
If it’s not meant for you, then I hope that this note
has still put a lot of things in perspective for you.
With love,
Willie

Google’s latest “Penguin” update sent shockwaves throughout the
whole internet marketing industry with many people’s sites
dropping off the face of the search results.
Link networks, a staple for many SEOs have been shut down,
de-indexed and over 700,000 webmasters received warnings that
they were building “un-natural links”.
Things are getting seriously shaken up for online marketers in
the quest for traffic, it’s something of an SEO slaughter.
Google’s attack has also introduced a new element into the mix,
Negative SEO.
Yep that’s right, there is now talk of being able to penalize
your COMPETITORS sites, and perhaps scarier still, for them to
harm you.
The dust hasn’t settled yet on all this turmoil and we don’t
even know what is true and what is just hype. But Google has
definitely done a good job of creating a lot of fear and
uncertainty, which is their best weapon.
The big problem is that because there is so much confusion right
now, most people are paralyzed because they don’t know whether
their next move is going to kill their site.
Luckily for us though, Google’s bullying isn’t going
unchecked…
Two respected young SEO marketers from Australia, Gavin and
Jake founded a business a few years ago called ‘SEO Training
Alliance’ on the basis that it was time to,
“Strike Back at the College Boys from Google”
After attending a recent training session they ran about the
latest Google Penguin changes, I was really impressed.
I invited them to run a special webinar presentation to answer a
lot of questions people are having about all these SEO changes
around the death of link networks, harmful SEO and what SEO
methods actually still work.
Glad to say that Gavin and Jake accepted the invitation and will
be holding the webinar at 8pm Eastern on May 9th.
