We’ve all heard the expression “You never get a second chance to make a first impression…” It’s a powerful dictum. So much so that it resonates the reality that second chances are indeed rare. That’s why the FINAL ENCORE PERFORMANCE of The Exponential Extravaganza is so special. What’s even more special are the Internet-based announcements I’ve revealed at the event. For example, I am going to stop all my Internet Marketing Events with the 2010 Internet Marketing Bootcamp being the last one I ever stage.

Yep, that’s right. I am leaving the spruiker infested waters that are overflowing with the Internet get rich quick schemers who want to turn you into the next information product millionaire making money in your underpants or while you sleep!

I am totally over it – not the Internet – the spruiker speakers.

I just can’t be even remotely associated with that kind of misrepresentation and amoral behaviour.

BUT THAT DOESN”T MEAN I AM ABANDONING THE INTERNET – quite the contrary!

I am going full steam ahead with the strategies that the top 5% of businesses use to make the most of their online sales channels, generating profits and revenues that out-perform the other 95% combined.

That means doing things that no-one else is doing. I call it being antimimeticisomorphic. Doing out-of-the-ordinary things that create extra-ordinary results.

Out of the ordinary things like NOT doing any more Internet Marketing events – keeping all the Exponential Strategies SECRET for my most elite Platinum Program Members – real businesses who leverage the Internet to get real people to buy from them.

So there you have it – ONE of the reasons you want to attend The Exponential Extravaganza – to learn some of the strategies that will soon no longer be available… Unless you step up to the Platinum Membership level, which of course is always an option, but one that would be easier for you to make if you had an overview of what’s involved… That’s what The FINAL ENCORE of The Exponential Extravaganza is all about – the last chance to get the overview of what it means to have an “Exponential Mindset”, creating results that baffle onlookers…

I mean c’mon, how can:

• A tradie launch his firs twebsite, become a world-class blogger in less than a year, get on National TV because of it and increase sales 25% while competitors are downsizing?
• A consumer-based service company in a small town compete against a NATIONAL competitor with a $250,000 NATIONAL ad budget with a measly $20,000 web strategy?
• A start up be turning every $1 in Google Adwords into $50 of sales within the first 3 months of getting started?
• Another startup be creating a fully virtual company out of thin air, matching a $100 million/year competitor blow-for-blow with twice the sales conversion ratio and less than 1/10th the staff?
• A consultant who was building a business no-one would ever buy into a virtual sales system that generates 4 times the sales and could be sold for upwards of $500,000 in less than 24 months?
• A technical service based company that would have gone to the wall if it had not been for the Internet Strategies deployed in the nick of time, now those strategies are landing BIG corporate contracts his tiny competitors can’t even bid on!?!?!

All of these entrepreneurs and businesses got a second chance with the Internet.

Your second chance is to attend The Exponential Extravaganza – especially if you have not seen me speak in the last 2 years. What we’re doing now on the Internet has progressed so much that you might fall off your chair when I reveal some of the things we’ve been doing.

But this is it – the FINAL ENCORE and only in Sydney. Do whatever it takes to get there.

I thought I’d get this off my chest.. One of the things I HATE about my industry are all the charlatans and spruikers out there flogging Internet Marketing Programs that don’t work. “become the next eBay millionaire…”, “Information product millionaire…”, “make money while you sleep”…

You get the picture.

Spruikers – when they smell an opportunity – they jump on it like flies on _ _ _ _!

That’s the problem with the Internet – it IS Exponential, but only 5% of us make any money with it. The other 95% don’t. The 95% are chasing a dream, the rainbow with the pot of Gold that never materialises.

That’s one of the many reasons I no longer speak at FREE public multi-speaker events. The manipulative sales tactics used are horrendous and frankly disgust me. I remember the last time I stood on the same stage as some of these people – I had to go to my hotel room that night and take a long shower, that’s how slimy it felt. YUCCH!

I stepped off the stage and vowed to never do it again.

And I haven’t. That was almost 2 years ago.

I now focus uniquely on my clients – who pay $50,000 to $100,000+ to learn strategies that work. My strategies are so powerful that I GUARANTEE RESULTS

You’ll never hear those two words together on the multi-speaker stage!

You’ll hear money back guarantee shouted from stage – good thing too because often, more than half the orders in the back of the room are refunded!

So when I did step off the multi-speaker stage , there were quite a few of my own suspects and prospects who intended to come see me… eventually.

Well, that time is now. OR NEVER.

I am not planning any other events like the Exponential Extravaganza.

Frankly, it’s just too much trouble for what it’s worth. I’m financially independent and don’t have to do this hard anymore.

I’m opting for more direct approaches with WINNERS and HIGH ACHIEVERS who will find me via my multiple Pathways To Profits™.

So that’s what the situation is – I decided to give you, as my blog reader and/or subscriber, one last chance to come and test drive Exponential Mindset Strategies – at my cost.

Then that’s it. The FREE ride is over.

In fact, it may be over before it even starts. We are selling Premium Seats to the Exponential Extravaganza and if they fill up the room, there won’t be any FREE SEATS available – so you have a decision to make – reserve a FREE seat and hope there are seats available, or book in for $97 and make sure you get in.

How would you like to SELL OUT a FREE EVENT?!?!?

Come to the Exponential Extravaganza and I’ll show you how it’s done and how you can use the same strategies in YOUR BUSINESS or for your CAREER.

INTERNET MARKETERS: If you’re FRUSTRATED spending rather than making money on the Internet, you’re not alone. The fact is only 5% of people on the Internet make money, in fact they make more than the other 95% combined. The top 5% have figured out how to do it with strategies that you can use, right now.

The Internet is the easiest thing that’s hard to do – Unless you know WHAT and HOW to do what works! Come learn the time-tested, proven techniques, tips, tactics, skills and strategies the top 5% use that you can customise and optimise on your website IMMEDIATELY. Be forewarned – these are NOT get rich quick in your underpants tactics – they work for plumbers, retailers and dentists.

You should attend the Exponential Extravaganza also IF…

• If you’re in a job you don’t really like, you’ll be shown easy-to-use strategies to determine whether or not you should quit your job and/or change your career.
• If you kind of like your job, but think you should get paid more, I will reveal 3 strategies you can use to get that raise or promotion you want.
• If you’re stressed out at work, I’ll show you 2 reasons why that happens with antidotes that you can take to relieve stress the next time it pops up!
• If you’re struggling financially, at the Exponential Extravaganza, I am going to reveal, for the first time in a FREE event (I share this with my top Platinum Members) how to start a business with no money down AND an $100,000 investment portfolio with less than $5,000.

The strategies to be revealed are NOT get rich quick schemes (MLM). They are based on what the super rich are doing right now to build and protect their wealth.

With all that said and done – go ahead and book into the Exponential Extravaganza. Bring your wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend with you. If you have ADULT children, bring them along as well as long as they’re adults – sorry, this event is not appropriate for children. If you have friendly colleagues you get along with, suggest they attend as well.

I hope you’ll attend this one-off event. It would be a real shame for you to miss out, after all it’s the ONLY time I am doing this for FREE.

Brisbane Saturday 5 June

Melbourne Saturday 19 June

Sydney Saturday 26 June

Wow, what an event it’s been – 24 hours over 2 days and people still want more. That’s because most events just give you information, the Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp is different because it leverages the Business Building Blueprint™ that I designed that helps people find the Next Best Step™ as they determine the Pathways To Profit™ in their business, which in this case is ONLINE via their website and/or blog.

What people are doing right now if you are reading this when this was published, is witnessing a mini website makeover or Exponential Internet HotSeat™ where I literally go online and in 30 minutes go through all the Exponential Strategies the owner of the site can implement to improve his/her online results. We’ve got 4 companies that have lined up and paid for the privilege of this process that is both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.

Often the pain comes from learning the mistakes made – the money flushed down the toilet whereas the exhilaration comes from realising THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

With 4 mini website makeovers, each participant gets to learn both the process and the strategies that then apply to them and their website and/or blog!

It’s massively valuable and totally and utterly exponential.

Of course a lot of people think we stop there , but being exponential – we always take things ONE STEP FURTHER.

This time, we’re staging a Google Adwords MasterClass where we reveal all the tips, tricks and techniques to get approximately TWICE the SALES for HALF THE COST of what most people can produce with their Google Adwords Campaigns. This alone is worth the price of admission.

For example, I’ll explain the top 10 reasons most people overpay for their Pay Per Click (PPC) Campaigns and how to substantially reduce the cost WHILE increasing the conversions.

More importantly, I’ll reveal why you should STOP your Google Adword campaign if you’re spending less than $1,000/month.

I know you wanted to be here, but you didn’t make it – the next time – MAKE THE TIME.

Between now and then thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars will have slipped through your fingers either in lost sales or in costs that you could have avoided.

Next time, MAKE the time to attend.

There are people dumber than you who are out-performing you on the Internet right now.

That’s gotta hurt to hear me say that – the ONLY reason they can out-perform you and that means MAKE more money than you and/or SPEND LESS than you is because they KNOW HOW.

They might be dumber than you, but the one thing that makes them successful is that they made the time to attend.

That doesn’t sound too dumb to me, but then again they’re me clients and I actually think they’re brilliant – taking the little they’ve got and making the MOST of it.

Then there are the millionaires of the group – well, they are a species on their own. Always looking for the extra edge – that’s a blog post for another day.

Today is the second day of the Inaugural Annual Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp event, held in Melbourne at the Marriott Hotel. I already said we missed you in yesterday’s post, today, you should be missing us because you’re missing out.

Yesterday went until 9 PM , with the Unique Selling Proposition Workshop that is like having a client magnet so that people who want and need your product and services find you and those you don’t want to waste your time with are repelled by it – saving you time, money and expense that you can invest in the clients YOU WANT!

Today’s content is about getting other people to grow your online business empire for FREE – one of the marketing myths I will deal with is that affiliate programs don’t work and social media is revolutionising online communications, but not the way most people think it is.

That alone will shock some people, which is great because you can only get EXTRA-ORDINARY RESULTS by doing things that are OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY…

That’s why this Bootcamp is Exponential and not just another event. I cover stuff no one else knows about. I use REAL CASE STUDIES – NOT about people making MILLIONS on the Internet because YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE THE NEXT INTERNET MILLIONAIRE.

I know that, and the sooner you realise that, the better.

My clients don’t want to try to make MILLIONS on the Internet in their underpants.

My clients understand it takes time, money and effort to build a business empire and YES you can make money 24/7/365 WHILE you sleep, but not by trying to become the next Information Product wannabe success story…

What I teach at the Bootcamp is practical stuff anyone – INCLUDING you can apply – usually for FREE – but always at a fraction of the alternative – but here’s the best bit.

You can do it without hiring an IT geek or nerd!

Imagine that – building an online empire with NO STAFF. Say it with me…

Ka-Ching!

So that’s what we’re talking about all day and night because we’re going straight to 9 PM again tonight. No breaks EXCEPT for lunch and dinner.

This is an intense-take-no-prisoners=we-want-to-learn-as-much-as-possible event like no other.

And it gets better – Day 3 is tomorrow – what could we possibly do NEXT?

That’s a hint!

Today is the first and therefore Inaugural Annual Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp event, held in Melbourne at the Marriott Hotel. If you aren’t in the room, we’re actually missing you. That’s because the concept of the event, based on the classic Exponential Business Building Bootcamp fine tuned and refined over the years takes the Internet to a whole new level. This is NOT a salesfest that many promoters call ‘Bootcamps’ with never-ending sales pitches from stage.

This is a 100% value-packed 3 days, 36 hours where I will present more than 1,200 slides, show 3 mini ‘movies’ and speak over a quarter million words as I present the content and deal with over 200 questions from the participants!

Now that’s a LOT of content!

In fact, the average person takes over 50 pages of notes and gets so brain full that by the end of it all, they will never again be taken to the cleaners by whiz kid webmasters who don’t know what they’re doing.

That’s one of the GREAT benefits of this Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp – not just learning WHAT YOU CAN DO, but no longer listening to the B.S. tech wizards who just want to fleece your bank account.

The MORE you know , the less they can get away with their lies.

I know that sounds biased and I am. There are just too many people out there who are leaving it up to ‘SEO and WEB specialists’ and just absolutely and totally being taken to the cleaners.

But guess what? If you don’t know any better – you deserve it.

If you don’t want to get fleeced, then you need to learn what works, what doesn’t and WHY.

That’s what this Bootcamp is all about. I’m not trying to sell you into it, because it’s actually sold out and it’s too late for you anyway. It started when this blog post was published and sent to you. In fact, as you read this, I am introducing a new technology that will revolutionise how our clients Kommunicate with their Klients in what we Kall Killer Konversations™.

We don’t just teach our clients what to do and NOT do, we also put them in contact with the latest technologies and partners who can do things better and usually at a lower cost than their competitors – but unless you’re in the room, you never get access to that information.

That’s why we miss you.

We know that as the day progresses and we show you how to get tons of traffic to your website – you’re going to feel just like this guy does….

How To Get New Leads And Prospects

This is the theme of Day 1 of the Bootcamp – getting website visitors to jump in your boat.

Just imagine what it would be like to have THAT MANY people coming to your website?!?

This is what the Bootcamp is like – ALL DAY LONG. Participants realising that this can and will happen to them and their websites.

One client invested $1,000 and within 3 days had a site that last week produced 22 leads or $3,000 of PAID CONTRACTS that’s $12,000/month and over the past 7 months has produced more than $60,000 of SALES – want to hear the best part? This website totally sucks – any web designer will tell you that. But you know what? The owner of the site runs a BUSINESS that is focused on PROFITS not trying to win ‘graphic design awards’…

If this is resonating with you – stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog post on Day 2 of the Bootcamp!

I am in Melbourne on Monday night November 16 and back in Sydney on Tuesday night November 17  for the last series of previews for the 2009 Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp. Wondering if you should attend? Click the hyperlink to see the BONUS Google Adword MasterClass we’re staging. This is the a first-time ever reveal of how we create, deploy and test our Google Adwords campaigns… Consider it the secret to the vault!

There is no other opportunity like this one to get started on the Internet – this 3-day Bootcamp is not a multi-speaker salesfest. It’s 100% value-packed with strategies, techniques and tips you can deploy on your website IMMEDIATELY. Click on the hyperlinks above to find out all the details.

I guess I’m not in the mood today to try to convince you this is not one of those ”get rich quick in your underpants on the Internet” seminars…

If that’s not obvious by now… enough said.

If you want to check out a few testimonials from the 2009 Exponential Business Building Bootcamp, you can see them at the Business Mastery Channel on YouTube. I’ve uploaded about 20 in all. You’ll start to see a LOT more YouTube videos from me and our clients. I’ll be explaining why this is such a powerful Internet Marketing Strategy at the 2009 Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp in Melbourne at the end of November. You don’t want to miss this once-a-year-only event… Preview events are coming up in Sydney and Melbourne… Click here to attend.

This is BIG news – YouTube announced it has reached the 1 billion views/day. WOW! But what does that mean for you and your business? My videos and channel have been viewed by more than a quarter million people – because embedded videos don’t accumulate clicks anymore, it’s probably close to half a million views. I have more than 80 videos uploaded to YouTube, viewed by HUNDREDS of people a day.

YouTube Video Marketing

If you don’t want to get left behind, seriously consider attending our next Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp in Melbourne. I will reveal all the tips, tricks and techniques you need to leverage the Internet so you become one of the 5% who make more than the other 95% combined. Heck, if I can just get you to make more than you spend, you’d agree that would be worth the cost of admission…

This blog has GREAT free tips, but let’s face it – I can’t and don’t reveal all in these blog posts.

Come spend 3 days with me and other like-minded entrepreneurs – it’s a 3-day investment that will pay you for a lifetime. When I attended my first Bootcamp in 1996, it cost me $10,000 with travel, tuition and accomodation. In the next 10 years, I guesstimate that I made over $2.5 Million in additional sales, putting an extra $100,000/year in my pocket.

An investment of 3 days did that – and it also led to me retiring from the rat race in 2005 at the age of 42.

I know in hindsight it’s 20-20, but I want to give you 20-20 FORESIGHT…

The edge to out-perform your competitors  AND STILL HAVE THE LIFESTYLE you want to be living.

I am living proof.

This week I am competing in the 2009 World Masters Games in Sydney – in squash.

My exploits are on one of my 10 blogs… The Mindset Of A Champion Blog.

Yes and yes.

I am a world-ranked squash player (top 20 in the men’s 45-49 category) and I have 10 blogs.

10 blogs – that I write or edit, publishing on average one blog post/day on 10 different topics…

AND I have time to play squash.

Want this lifestyle?

One word.

Internet.

The Internet is the ONLY truly exponential business tool. If you don’t master it within the next 2-3 years, you’ll be obsolete. You still have a chance to get to the front and lead, but that opportunity is slipping by every day one of your competitors learns and does more than you do…

Don’t get left behind – learn the most up-to-date strategies that work, that bring more people to your site and into your store or convert to online buyers attend our 3-day Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp in Melbourne at the end of November.

I just wanted to let you know that the last Wealth Creation Workshop in advance of the 2009 Exponential Business Building Bootcamp takes place next Thursday night 9 July from 6:00-9:00 PM in Sydney. Click here or on the hyperlinks to register. This is the last chance to attend this 3-hour workshop this year. It’s FREE and has been the source of substantial breakthroughs for attendees… Why not join them now while it’s FREE?

The reason this is important to you as an Internet Marketer is because the 95% of people who don’t make any money on the Internet don’t understand that they need an economic engine – A BUSINESS MODEL that makes money.

They think that the Internet is a money-making machine when it’s not. Not anymore than the phone or fax was. In as much as the Internet is GREAT technology – that’s all it is.

THE BUSINESS MODEL is where the money’s at – for the top 5% who make MORE than the other 95% COMBINED.

The Internet is said to be the easiest thing that’s hard to do – that’s because people just don’t have an Exponential Wealth Creation Mindset – attend this 3-hour Wealth Creation Workshop to understand what this is all about. It’s the last time I do this Workshop for FREE.

I just finished staging a 4-day event called Advanced Business Mastery. It was a full-on event with Australia’s most committed entrepreneurs. The amazing thing about it is that they ‘get something’ that most people don’t – especially people ‘on’ the Internet… They ‘get it’ because they spent 4 full days writing, drawing, sketching and mindmapping their Business Building Blueprint. That’s right – a BUSINESS BUILDING Blueprint.

A Blueprint that encompasses every single element to create a business ‘empire’ not unlike putting up a skyscraper.

But here’s the thing they got that most Internet Marketers don’t.

I don’t do many FREE events anymore – in this Bootcamp Preview Series I am including more than $497 in business building bonuses to prove to you that when you do out-of-the-ordinary things, you can create extra-ordinary results… This series has new content and an irresistible offer you won’t want to miss. If you’ve been thinking you should be getting better results for the effort you’ve been putting into your business, make the decision now to attend by clicking here to discover why a recession is the easiest time to grow a business!

In the middle of a recession, $100/hour is not a bad income would you agree? That is what we will be PAYING our Virtual Real Estate Agents who will be Flipping Websites For Profit. I know you’re cynical. We’re in the middle of a recession and it sounds like hype. But don’t take my word for it – come to my presentation in Melbourne on Tuesday 12 May 6-9 PM and the following week in Sydney 19 May 6-9 PM.

At this 3-hour the Investor Briefing, I am going to explain the concept of Flipping Websites For Profit. Go to the event page to get all the details, but befoe you do that, take 3 minutes to watch this YouTube video that explains what this is all about using a metaphor – FISH JUMPING INTO A BOAT… Literally!

YouTube Video That Explains How Flipping Websites For Profit Works

What we do is create the boat and get the fish to jump.

Interesting concept isn’t it?

It’s Exponential and you can benefit – WHEN you get with the Program – The Flipping Websites For Profit Program. Come to the Investor Briefing to find out what this is all about.

Attend The Wealth Without Worries Investor Briefing To Discover How You Can Get NEW LEADS Into Your Business For FREE!

Oh yeah, I mentioned that we are going to pay our Virtual Real Estate Agents $100/Hour Cash to Flip these sites… Wonder how we can do that?

Simple – the sites are already pre-sold to Virtual Real Estate Investors.

Say it with me… Ka-Ching!

Come to the Investor Briefing – it take me 3 hours to present and answer all your questions.

Imagine making $100/hour LEARNING how to create a $1,000/month

passive income stream and then growing it to $100,000/year…

Imagine it…

But then DECIDE to attend because this program is LIMITED to a TOTAL of 25 Virtual Real Estate Agents and Investors and 2 positions are already gone BEFORE we even launch the program…

Don’t get left out – attend the Briefing – it’s FREE, but what you learn will be PRICELESS.

As you know from yesterday’s post, I am in Melbourne at Internet Technical Mastery - A Platinum Program event that is not open to the public… It’s where I reveal the most powerful Internet tips, tricks and techniques like the one I will partially share with you right now.

It’s called www.UserTesting.com you can scroll down to read my testimonial. It’s REAL people giving you REAL feedback on your site or blog.

But here’s the thing…

What feedback do you take and which one do you leave behind?

I’ve done about 10 of them so far – and about 25% of the suggestions would KILL my sales if I did what the reviewer was telling me to change. OWCH!

So how do you decipher what to take and what to leave?

That’s where I come in. At events like Internet Technical Mastery and our upcoming Exponential Internet and Business Building Bootcamp, I explain EXACTLY how to leverage a tool like this so it helps you get that breakthrough you need to be the ONE out of TWENTY who makes money on the Internet…

www.UserTesting.com is a fantastic service YOU MUST USE.

It’s just that if you want to be exponential, you need to know what to change and what NOT TO TOUCH!

Otherwise, every time you have someone new testing it, you’ll keep changing it back and forth, spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere.

www.UserTesting.com is a powerful tool – just like a chainsaw. You need to know HOW to use it to get the outcome you want.

I recommend it to all my clients as an absolute MUST, no two ways about it.

You simply cannot afford not to do it.

BUT, as I said you have to be careful not to UNDO what’s working and there are simple ways to make sure that doesn’t happen and how that can be safely and methodically tested. Come to our Bootcamp or join one of our Membership Programs and I’ll make sure you avoid the mistakes most people make and do what the top 5% Internet Marketers are doing to make more than the other 95% combined.

This blog gives great value for FREE – imagine what I can teach you when you pay for the privilege of being in the room?!?! That is what successful know – the investment pays for itself 10 times over.

To put things in perspective – I took 3 ideas from ONE User Testing Review that increased my conversions by 12% that equates to more than $10,000 of ADDITIONAL NEW SALES of ONE product.

With another site, I incorporated 7 subtle changes that have already increased back-end sales by 8.5% and reduced unsubscribes by 13.4% in the first week of testing.

The challenge you have (we all have) is once again what to change and not change and WHY!

Understanding the WHY means that you can do 10, 20 or even 30 User Testing Reviews and know what to ignore and what to focus on.

How would you like to know the drop-dead-easy strategy I use to get EXPONENTIAL RESULTS INSTANTLY that most people would not think of?

Ask me at the next event and I’ll tell you! This ONE tactic means I get 200, 300% or even 500% more out of EACH User Testing Review than what others are doing!

Yeah I know – that’s a tease – a tease to get you to come to my Bootcamp where for 36 hours you’ll be flooded with tips like this… Want to focus ONLY on the Internet, attend the one-day Internet Millionaire Marketing Event.

I’ve been asked to explain the Flipping Websites For Profit System and wouldn’t you know it, I have not one, but TWO YouTube videos that explains it. I have to warn you that once you’ve seen the brilliance of this business model, you’ll be hooked – not just to Flip Websites For Profit, but to drive FREE traffic to your website or blog. Listen closely – especially the SECOND VIDEO that explains this concept almost ‘in passing’… Because it is ONE of MANY strategies that can be used SIMULTANEOUSLY… Ka-Ching!

HOW TO FLIP WEBSITES FOR PROFIT

HOW TO FLIP WEBSITES FOR PROFIT SYSTEM – SUMMARISED

By the way, I am staging an Investor Briefing on this wealth creation model in Sydney and Melbourne, called Wealth Without Worries… Click on the hyperlink or the tear-away on the Right-Hand Side of this blog – registrations are going exceptionally well – room size is limited and the sooner you register, the MORE BONUSES you will receive.

Not convinced? Think of it this way. Imagine if you could by one or two websites, create enough income to PAY for them and take ALL the visitors and DIRECT them to another one of your websites OR your brick and mortar business… Wouldn’t those be FREE prospects?

Interesting…

What if you had 10, 20 or even 50 sites like this? Wouldn’t that be E-X-P-O-N-E-N-T-I-A-L ?

Hmmmm….

As a reader or subscriber to this blog, you’ve now had access to over 100 tips, tricks and techniques to become more effective and efficient with your Internet Marketing Strategies. Imagine turning them into a passive income portfolio! Yes, a truly passive income portfolio – how cool would that be?

I’d like to draw your attention to an event I am staging in Sydney and Melbourne in May – it’s an Investor Briefing called Wealth Without Worries because it’s a business model that can create a passive income for you leveraging the power of the Internet.

As a reader of this blog – you know how powerful ONE IDEA CAN BE. Imagine if you added them all up and put them to use on a portfolio of sites… What would the result be?

Right… Exponential!

But here’s the thing. Last year, the program completely sold out and that was when the economy was still booming. Now that the stock markets have crashed and the financial and banking crisis have hit hard, SMART investors are jumping into this new wealth creation vehicle.

Go to the events page to find out how you can create Wealth Without Worries leveraging your Internet skills.

I have kept this blog post short because we’re only looking for 20 to 30 people who want to create a passive income portfolio. Last year the program sold out and we’re expecting the same thing to happen this year.

Check it out now – we expect the Investor Briefings to be sold out as well since we’ve reserved only small rooms because this is not a public event – it’s by-invitation-only, for people that I know and understand the Exponential Mindset.

This investment model is founded on doing out-of-the-ordinary things to get extra-ordinary results.

If you don’t have an Exponential Mindset, you simply won’t get the true power of this wealth creation vehicle. BUT with an Exponential Mindset – WOW – you’ll totally get how you can leverage it to create a truly passive income portfolio…

BUT the program is limited to 20 to 30 people. That’s it. Why?

Go to the event page to find out. (Hint #1: Buy LOW sell HIGH and Hint #2: If a lot of people know, it creates a fake bubble = not a good idea!)

Go to the events page now to learn more about the Investor Briefing: Wealth Without Worries.

It takes 3 hours to explain all the ins and outs of this model – it’s a ‘Twist Of The Kube’ that is nothing short of incredible. I can say without hesitation that I am glad I got into this when I did – my Internet Portfolio has more than QUADRUPLED in value during the recent stock market and financial crisis.

Come to the event – the worse that can happen is that you learn some really cool stuff!

It’s a fact.

E-mail opens and clicks have been falling, as fewer consumers worldwide are opening marketing e-mails, according to a November 2008 study.

The study conducted by MailerMailer found that the average marketing e-mail open rate fell to 13.20% in the first half of 2008, compared with 16.11% in the first half of 2007. Click rates also fell, from 3.18% in the first half of 2007 to 2.73% in the first half of this year.

Interestingly, some industries had higher open rates for their marketing e-mail, with banking/finance, religious/spiritual, government and telecommunications having more success than other verticals.

Today’s post is an e-mail I got from Dan in South Australia that is so valuabke that I had to share it with you.

You’ll see my responses indented and in italics.

Hello, I am interested in attending your internet marketing course however I have some questions first.
Please pass this on to Marc.

I’ve attended some Jay Abraham and Brian Tracy courses in Sydney. I’ve read the books, listened to the CDs.
The kind of information that is promoted for your event is just what I need to learn for my business.
I would much rather spend a day with a guru than spend months trying to teach myself by searching the web for the information.

However, I have to question Marc’s guru status due to the following. Could Marc comment please?

Whenever I receive emails from Empowernet they automatically go straight to my junk box. Not because I have set it to label them as spam or junk, something in the emails is triggering that automatically. I have a pop mail account with minimal spam protection, not a free service like hotmail. I would expect Marc to have tested the spam rating of his emails before sending them. I submitted his most recent one to a spam rating service and the score was terrible; it scored 7.9 out of a possible 13. A score over 3 or 4 is considered unsafe. Marc more than doubled the danger levels with his email.

Dan, That is a GREAT observation and a GREAT compliment. E-mails that don’t end up in spam or junk mail folders are BLAND and BORING. Once you’ve ‘whitelisted’ me in your e-mail program, the e-mails should go through without a hitch. It’s one of the many strategies we teach our clients. Of course if you want to get through the spam and junk mail folders with NEW clients whom you have not communicated with, there are DOZENS of strategies to do this. We teach BOTH strategies so you can CHOOSE what outcome you want to achieve.

The e-mail I sent you was destined to my clients and prospects who have opted in to receive e-mails from me, which means I don’t worry about spam, in fact I totally disregard it to maximise the conversation I want to have with the reader.

I know this sounds counter-intuitive, because it is. In fact there’s a word for it – antimimeticisomorphic – doing out-of-the-ordinary things that produce EXTRA-ordinary results. You CAN’T do what others do an expect different results… Think about it…

I clicked on the first link in his email. It takes you to not only a different page than the link says but to a non-existent page:

Some e-mail systems strip out code that creates this problem – the links actually work when not modified. If your program does this, you’ll have difficulty accessing a lot of information that people are trying to give you. This blog is not the place to do technical support, but it is important to realise that sometimes your settings are at fault and create problems. In this instance, I double-checked the links and others have clicked through without incident. The solution is to re-set your e-mail security settings so this doesn’t happen.

The theme of the email was how the top gurus focus intently on what they’re doing. In Marc’s case he labels himself as a top-earning guru who applies most of his focus to his blog. The first blog link I see goes nowhere…..would you say that reflects someone who can teach me about ‘focusing’?

This has been addressed above, but you also have to ask yourself the BASIS of your question – do you doubt everything everyone tells you? If you do, you’ll be hard to coach or mentor. I understand that in this day and age you have to have a healthy dose of cynicism and skepticism. I get that – but even a technical glitch should not get to the point of questioning someone’s integrity, especially someone who is successful with the only 100% RESULTS GUARANTEED programs in the country… Not satisfaction guarantee, but RESULTS guarantee it’s called the Platinum Program.

My father and his father were German engineers. Attention to detail is hard-coded into my genetics. The lack of attention to detail I’m mentioning here really stand out to someone like me and further erode my confidence in marketeers.

I understand and suggest you look at the syntax you use – Marketeers and Marketers are not the same word. Marketeers is a derogatory term which psychologically pre-frames you negatively. We teach this in our Platinum Program, how to avoid pre-framing for failure.

I also understand and respect the need for precision – I am an engineer myself, but have learnt that “perfection is the poison of profitability“. NO ONE IS PERFECT. Even if this is a technical error, life goes on. People like yourself are generous enough to give me a second chance. People as giving as you have been and will continue to INVEST TIME AND EFFORT to point out the improvements that can be made. That is an incredible thing to witness – wouldn’t you agree?

With each criticism comes improvement – 1 percent at a time.

I manually typed in Marc’s blog page address to see what kind of information was there. Again, I clicked on the first link I came across to go to the Internet Mastery Blog – another of Marc’s prime focus points. Again it takes me to an error page with no content:
http://www.marcdussault.com/blog/www.ExponentialPrograms.com/Internet/blog/get-more-traffic-to-your-site-or-blog-with-no-effort <http://www.marcdussault.com/blog/www.ExponentialPrograms.com/Internet/blog/get-more-traffic-to-your-site-or-blog-with-no-effort>

Without being disrespectul – the address above won’t work because the actual address is: http://www.ExponentialPrograms.com/Internet/blog/get-more-traffic-to-your-site-or-blog-with-no-effort

I read the email interested in the event however before deciding if I would spend money, I wanted to know when it was on. It mentions that it is going to be held in Melbourne which would mean booking a flight. The email however does not mention the date or venue for the event. I clicked a few other links to be taken to a capture page which also fails to mention a date or venue. It gives me no choice but to give my money first, find out where and when it is later. This makes me nervous.

All the content information is on the sales landing but Dan is right – the date and venues are not there!!! How did that happen?!?!? It’s probably because it’s the 4th BONUS day to the Exponential Internet & Business Building Bootcamp which are the 3 days BEFORE the Internet Millionaire Marketing Day, Wed, Thr & Fri December 3, 4 and 5th…

So guess what?!? Dan is right – we’re human and make mistakes!!!

But also, Dan PROVES that when you create enough VALUE in the e-mail, you get people like him to point it out so it gets fixed – it will probably be fixed by the time you read this blog post!

I can see that Marc is aiming to earn $30K – $35K less expenses from the event. I have no problem with that however Marc’s obvious lack of attention to detail makes me question his ethics. A “focus guru” with a lack of focus wants me to give him over $1,000 and a day of my time to learn how to focus.

There are three points here – (1) If you’re concerned about what I am aiming to earn from this event, you shouldn’t attend. You MUST ask yourself only ONE question – what will you get out of it? If you don’t think you’ll get more than $1,000, then it’s not for you. The top 5% are the top 5% BECAUSE there is another 95% who are NOT in the top 5%… That is not a mathematical trick, it’s just how it is. This event is about getting into the top 5%.

(2) Focus is one of those words that people have difficulty defining. Focus does not equal PERFECTION. My FOCUS is to give attendees incredible value by revealing how they can unleash the Exponential Potential™ that is within their business or website.

Responding to Dan’s e-mail via my blog is EXPONENTIAL because thousands of people can learn from Dan’s contribution and investment of time and effort. If he wants to identify himself and get the backlink to his site, he can do that by placing a comment to this blog post. If he wants to remain anonymous he will. I will never reveal his identity without his permission.

(3) Focus and ethics are two very different things as I am sure you can appreciate. I do understand Dan’s perspective and I am taking his e-mail apart out of respect for his hard-coded genetics. One of the strategies we cover at the Bootcamp entails creating Multiple Pathways To Profits™ that includes establishing the step-by-step or click-by-click conversations you need to have with prospects and clients. This is a priceless skill that once developed, stays with you for life.

It reminds me of Arkad from “Richest Man In Babylon” who loses all his savings, giving them to the brick maker to invest in rare jewels later to be told “why trust the knowledge of a brick maker about jewels….if you would have advice about jewels go to the jewel merchant”

I use the expression that you don’t ask your car mechanic to cut your hair, you so must chose your mentors wisely… So Dan and I agree on this point. As well as his reading list – The Richest Man in Babylon is a must-read book!

My Internet expertise speaks for itself – you can read more than 300 pages that are posted on my sites, revealing more than 50 different products that were created with NO staff and on a shoestring budget.

Some of those sites are:

www.MarcDussault.com

www.ExponentialPrograms.com/Internet

www.ExponentialPrograms.com/Business

www.SpeedStudyForBusiness.com

www.SpeedReadingVideo.com

www.FamilyFirmSuccession.com

www.AntiMimeticIsoMorphism.com

www.ExponentialMasterMind.com

So, I hope this is not too critical, I’m sure Marc has many fine qualities and has accomplished much more than I have online however I am very reluctant to choose him as my guru to learn about more about Internet marketing unless you can show me why I should trust a focus guru with a lack of focus. I never experienced any messy marketing nor was I ever made to feel nervous when I attended Brian Tracy’s events.

Dan, this event may not be for you. An Exponential Mindset™ is not for everyone. Brian Tracy is the epitome of excellence, and professionalism, so once again we agree! I think the confusion is the definition of focus. I have total focus, but I’m not perfect, never have been, never will be. FOCUS however is something that comes only second to DRIVE when someone describes me.

That being said, if you have a need for perfection, I might not be able to help you. If you don’t think this level of response and this TYPE of answer leveraging it via my blog isn’t original and exponential, then the Internet Millionaire Marketing event is not for you.

However, something tells me that you’re impressed that I have mirrored your investment writing your e-mail with an equal investment and that I would reveal my imperfections and explain them without being defensive or accusatory.

Something also tells me that you’re looking forward to meeting me and spending a day with someone who’s read the same books you have, hase been taught by the best – Brian Tracy (Anthony Robbins and Jay Abraham) and has taken it to the next level.

Something tells me you’re not just looking forward to it, you’re excited that if I am the ‘real deal’, you already have 80% of what you need to be massively successful and I’ve made the investment to be able to hand over the missing 20% that will make all the difference.

That something is my belief in the power of the human spirit that can overcome the chatter and limiting beliefs that occupy our self-talk – those voices in our heads…

I believe you took the time and made the effort to let me know how I can improve to help you.

Something tells me I WILL SEE YOU at the one-day Internet Millionaire Marketing Day – maybe even for the full 4 days including the Exponential Internet & Business Building Bootcamp...

Onward and upward!

P.S.

This is a prime example of what happens when you GIVE MASSIVE value up-front and do out-of-the-ordinary things that get you noticed. Sure sometimes people will pick on your shortcomings, errors and mistakes, but they do that BECAUSE they care and want more from what they’re doing.

Dan starts by saying “The kind of information that is promoted for your event is just what I need to learn for my business. I would much rather spend a day with a guru than spend months trying to teach myself by searching the web for the information.”

If Dan was just whinging and complaining, I would have just deleted the e-mail. I get a handful of those every year, as you’d expect with a database of TENS OF THOUSANDS…

I want to take this opportunity to thank Dan for creating this priceless blog post – as you well know, I could not have done it without him. That is another one of the strategies we teach at the Internet Millionaire Marketing event – take people’s contributions and BUILD VALUE for others.

Today’s post is courtesy of Daniel Lizurek of www.FastProfits.com.au.

He attended our recent Exponential Internet & Business Building Bootcamp in Sydney and wanted to reciprocate the tremendous value he got from it by producing the following play-by-play summary below as a GIFT to us (and you!).

P.S.
There are previews for this event – they’re $97/person.

That’s how powerful these strategies are – even the preview isn’t FREE. Everyone else gives their previews away for free – because they have to.

This one-day event doesn’t even have a money-back guarantee. How bold is that?

It’s to make sure we only get the MOST COMMITTED PEOPLE who want to take home an extra $50,000 to $100,000 next year without working longer hours. In fact the primary objective of this one-day event is to instill in you the PASSIVE INCOME PHILOSOPHY and TACTICS of the top 5% who have their websites running on auto-pilot…

We’re only looking for 30 people to join Bootcamp attendees – that’s how exclusive this event is. Don’t forget, there aren’t a lot of people in the top 5% – I figure that’s about 30 people.
