June 11, 200912 Comments

Nothing for sale today.  If you're on my list you saw the PLR Copywriting 4-week e-course Jason and I are running.

I'm going to give you a peek at what happened inside the member's area at the end of the first class, just so you can see what happens when you combine proven step-by-step solutions with CHALLENGES (instead of homework) with accountability... the productivity level reaches a kind of critical mass:

Question: What was your favorite webinar series and why? What would you want to see on the inside if I offered a HUGE webinar course for you guys?  Answer in the form of a blog comment below.  I appreciate it.

YouTube, AM2, Quality Score and Gmail Management

June 8, 200941 Comments

Here's my video newsletter for June 2009:

1. I'm still banned from YouTube... and have send them some e-mails, filled out their online form, sent them a tweet and send a snail mail letter... any other ideas?

2. The AM2 Platinum retreat was awesome but I only joined for the networking. Make some products first, build a list, start making money, then go to physical seminars, and THEN join a club like AM2, in that order.

3. Add Contact (PHP form mail with your physical address listed on the page) and Privacy (use a legal form generator) pages in small text at the bottom of your pages to improve your Google quality score if you do any pay-per-click.

4. You really need to switch to Gmail if you're bogged down with e-mail management.  Heck, forward your existing mail to Gmail and try it out.  The secret is using the Archive function.  Read a message and archive or delete... or reply to a message and archive.  But don't let your inbox contain more than 30 messages at one time.

The big question to cap it all off: My next product is going to be huge, different than anything else I have put out before, higher priced than anything else I have put out before.  What do you think it is?  Comment with your guess below.  Leave me 10 comments and I'll drop the next hint on you.

Aftermath from the Action Seminar

June 8, 200910 Comments

Hey guys, I'm finally back from the Action Seminar which I co-hosted with Mary Wilhite and Jason Fladlien. It's been a long week. After hosting that event in Dallas for two days I hopped on a plane directly to Chicago for three days at the AM2 Platinum retreat.

The first day of the Action Seminar was pretty fun... Jason and I both spoke twice, Mary Wilhite spoke, Marc Harty and Jeanette Cates spoke.

The second day was an all-day mastermind session. It was pretty cool when Jason dictated copy to David Burch (one of our old students). At one point we created a free report, squeeze page, and thank you page for Roderick Martin -- including a Flip video of him thanking people for opting in and asking to call his phone number for a free consultation.

Yes, we even uploaded that Flip video to YouTube right in front of everyone and watermarked it. It was pretty cool.

But the rest of the crowd didn't have anything specific to ask. They'd spend 5 to 10 minutes explaining every little detail of their business, and then ask, "What now?" Which was annoying, especially when Jason and I are internet marketers.

We spoke about product creation, time management, passion marketing, video creation, and e-mail marketing so why ask something completely unrelated to those things? I'd rather people asked questions in areas where we were experts so we didn't have to guess. I'm good (probably one of the best) at fast infoproduct creation, fast PHP programming, fast copywriting.

But offline marketing?  I won't touch it.  Nothing wrong with that... it's just not my area of expertise.

Anyway, that's me catching up. Do you ask ten cent questions or thousand dollar questions? Comment below and hit the submit button within the next 5 minutes.
